Chapter 37: Cooking
Rolling his eyes, beating his back and fanning again, he finally coaxed the young master. Orchid breathed a deep sigh of relief, if this unlucky bear child turned his face and ran away, he had to walk home by himself, it was not cost-effective, what was the face, what was the dignity, it was all floating clouds...
The two of them got off the carriage before and after, and it was almost time for the Rifle Restaurant to be deserted, and there was no guest, and the storyteller was drinking tea and shaking the folding fan with great interest. Seeing Boss Yu's wife and his father, Orchid's heart chuckled, and instantly sank to the bottom.
"Sister Orchid!" Orchid looked back, and Yu Zhida, the eldest son of the Yu family, ran over with a smile: "Sister, why are you here?" ”
"Brother Pillar! I came to Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu for something, what about my father? ”
"After Uncle Li sent the tongs early in the morning, he went back with Dalang Erlang." Yu Zhida blinked, "It's been an hour since I left, maybe I missed it on the way." Sister, who is this son? ”
Orchid was surprised, if she went back, it stands to reason that she should be able to meet her on the road, "This is Li Deyin, the son of Li Yuanwai's family, this is Uncle Sandao, and I lost Brother Deyin's carriage today, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to arrive." ”
Yu Zhida hurriedly beckoned a few people to sit down, and brought a few delicious side dishes and a few steamed buns with great eyesight: "There is nothing to eat here, Young Master Li will make do with it first." ”
Li Deyin was indeed hungry, so he didn't care about it at the moment, and beckoned Uncle Sandao to eat.
Only Orchid was not in the mood, and asked a little depressedly: "Brother Zhuzi, what about Uncle Yu and Auntie?" How do the tongs sell? Didn't it sell? ”
"Poof. Silly girl, what are you worried about? With a burst of hearty laughter, the figure lifted the curtain and walked in from the backyard while wiping his hands, "Girl, you are really a lucky star of your aunt, the one we sell is called a red fire!" ”
Looking at Orchid's puzzled look, Aunt Yu laughed, "What time is this, there are fewer people here for lunch, of course it's deserted after the meal." ”
Orchid suddenly realized, grinned embarrassedly, introduced Li Deyin and Sandao, and then sat down and picked up the dishes and chopsticks. Yesterday, I was so focused on talking about business, and I didn't eat a bite of orchid.
Today, seeing the two of them gobbling up, Orchid also felt her stomach growl, so she ate it unceremoniously. God, you can kill me with a thunderbolt, finally the countrymen went into the city to eat a restaurant and open a meat, what are you eating! I thought that the rice worms fell into the rice bowl, but it turned out to be good, even if the steamed bun was black, it was still hard, and all the dishes were boiled. Boiled. Boiled. Boiled peanuts are just that, boiled loofahs also spare you, there can be boiled potatoes...
Seeing the orchid holding the chopsticks in a daze, Aunt Yu hurriedly said, "What's wrong with the orchid, but the food is not appetizing?" ”
Isn't it unappetizing, it's just hard to swallow, Orchid roared in her heart, and she has begun to sympathize with the bear child, she is also a young master, and such a meal can be eaten deliciously. Are you sure this is really a restaurant? couldn't bear it at all, Orchid immediately rolled up her sleeves and pulled Aunt Yu into the yard.
"Auntie, my father told Uncle Yu about the tongs, right?" Orchid was a little uneasy, "This matter is something my father owes me to consider, but don't worry, the recipe will never leak out, I asked my mother to go back and write the formula to you." ”
"I can't do it, I can't help it, this is your mother's ancestral inheritance, you can't give it to people casually, your father has told us in the morning, I don't have anything here, I'm afraid that people will covet your family's recipe." Aunt Yu pursed her lips, "It's not that my aunt said that your father, this heart of defense is indispensable, your father is too sincere, he will suffer, you are still young, I don't understand this person's heart, hey!" ”
"I remember everything you said," Orchid smiled and nodded, "I still have a few recipes here, I'll show you a hand today, and then I'll let my mother teach you how to burn tongs." ”
"I'm looking forward to you cooking!" Aunt Yu said briskly: "Let's go, my aunt will give you a hand." ”
When she entered the kitchen, the orchid was dumbfounded, and it was difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice, and there were no more than ten kinds of seasonings in total. oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar. There are also some star anise, garlic and the like, and a few cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, winter melons, pumpkins, water spinach lying on the ground... And then, and then there was no ...
Aunt Yu cleared the people quickly, leaving only a mother-in-law who burned the fire alone in the kitchen, "Auntie will give you a hand, wash and pick, and the aunt's knife work is still okay."
Orchid nodded, picked up a few garlics, quickly slapped them apart, and chopped them. Washed two more cucumbers and asked Aunt Yu to wash and cut them into thin slices, sprinkle salt and set them aside.
Take a section of pumpkin and wash it, remove the seeds and shreds inside, peel off the skin of the pumpkin, cut it into sections, and put it in a bowl. Boil a pot of boiling water, take the cage drawer for steaming steamed buns, put the pumpkin, and put it in boiling water to steam.
I caught a glimpse of a bowl of minced meat next to it, took it and added a little flour, soy sauce, salt, and an egg, stirred it quickly with chopsticks in one direction, stuffed it into the chili pepper that went to the boy, put a little oil in the pot, and put the chili pepper stuffed with meat neatly stacked in the pot and fried it over low heat.
At the same time, the orchid carefully wrapped the porcelain bowl in gauze, brought the pumpkin out of the steamer, and quickly washed the pot. Heat the oil, add the green onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, pour the washed and chopped eggplant shreds and a little shredded chili pepper into the stir-fry to burst the aroma, add salt and sugar to taste, and quickly put on a plate.
Then quickly turn the fried chili peppers, wait for two minutes until the surface of the chili peppers is wrinkled, add a little water to scoop up a spoonful of sauce, and cover the pot.
Immediately knead the previously pickled cucumber slices and put them on a plate, pour in vinegar, sprinkle with heavy sugar, and then add finely chopped garlic and mix well. At the same time, the pepper stuffed meat is served on a plate.
Succeed with flying colors.
