Chapter 55: The Life of a Culinary (5)
Han Hui's uncle Tong Han lives in a quiet location in the city, and he lives alone in a whole set of European-style houses with pool gardens in a busy area.
Tong Han did not treat Zhou Yin, who claimed to be a student, with the other bodyguards, but arranged for him to live in the guest room of the main house. Zhou Yin has recently rented simple houses of locals around the film and television city, not to mention that it is inconvenient to take a bath, and the bed he sleeps on is so hard that he can kill people, and now he finally has a comfortable bed, and he falls asleep sweetly as soon as he lies down.
He has always maintained a very good routine, even if he tossed and turned until midnight the first night, he still got up at seven o'clock the next morning.
Following the sweet smell of porridge, I walked into the kitchen on the first floor. The nanny aunt was cooking red dates and white rice porridge, and when she saw him going, she smiled, "Hungry, eat a bowl of porridge first." He also said, "Mr. Tong said that you are a friend of Xiaohui and want to live here with him for a while, I have been doing housekeeping here for almost ten years, Mr. Tong is my own person, my surname is Huang, you can find me if you have something." β
Zhou Yin nodded and said politely, "Morning, Aunt Huang, my name is Si Nan, I'm going to disturb you these days." β
His well-behaved and polite student appearance immediately won the favor of the nanny and aunt, and served him a bowl of porridge, "You eat first." β
Han Hui doesn't have Zhou Yin's good habits, as a standard young master Kuo, he loves to play very much, often lives day and night upside down, doesn't sleep at two or three o'clock at night, and only gets up at noon the next day.
However, he didn't dare to live so depressed with his uncle Tong Han, otherwise his uncle would clean him up, which was one of the reasons why Han Hui was reluctant to move in.
Therefore, I set an alarm clock before going to bed the night before, and at eight o'clock in the morning, I sighed and got up to the deafening ringing bell.
It was not yet the time when Han Hui was used to eating breakfast, and he didn't have much appetite, but in order to show his uncle that he had gotten up, he deliberately washed and changed his clothes quickly, and went to the restaurant refreshed.
Before I walked in, I smelled an enticing aroma of food wafting out of the restaurant, and I could tell it carefully, there was the aroma of green onions bursting in oil, which was just right, as well as the aroma of meat and a fresh fragrance that I couldn't tell what it was.
The rich aroma of food stimulated his taste buds, and Han Hui swallowed his saliva, feeling that his stomach, which had no appetite at all just now, was starting to get a little hungry.
When he entered the dining room, there was a large snow-white flat-bottomed plate with steaming golden omelets, a small pot of beautiful porridge, and a large glass bowl of fruit salad, and his uncle was already sitting at the table and eating.
Han Hui snorted and sat down, picked up a piece of egg cake, and found that it was not the same as what he usually ate, it was not made of flour mixed with eggs, but a thin and soft dough cake wrapped in eggs as a core, the outer layer was fried until browned, and the green onion was directly stirred into the noodles, so after the oil, it was only fragrant and not burnt, the outer layer of the egg cake was golden, the inside was soft white, and then the inner layer was tender yellow eggs, sandwiched with green green onions, the color was very good-looking, and the mouth was full of fragrance after taking a bite, although it was a simple food, But the process of making zuΓ² is perfect, the pancakes wrapped in eggs are spread out soft and palatable, the outer layer is fried until just golden, one more heat will be burnt, and one less heat will not be so fragrant, the shallots have the aroma of oil heating while maintaining the green color, and the innermost eggs are in place, showing a very tender tender yellow, which makes people very appetizing when they see it, Han Hui can't help but praise, "It's so fragrant!" Uncle, you really enjoy it, you have such a meticulous breakfast. β
At this time, he had changed from a little hungry to a big appetite, and he ate a piece of egg cake in two bites and went to serve porridge, only to find that it was not porridge, but corn, egg and beef soup, with very small diced carrots in it, so the color was rich and beautiful.
Tong Han ate the last spoonful of beef soup in the bowl, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and then told his nephew unhurriedly, "It's not that I will enjoy it, speaking of today's breakfast, Uncle is still stained with your light." β
Han Hui didn't understand, "Huh? β
I saw Zhou Yin coming in with a big bowl of seafood and tofu soup, wearing the shirt and trousers he found yesterday, and an apron tied around his waist.
Han Hui opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Si Nan, is it the breakfast you made?" β
Zhou Yin put the soup on the table steadily, "Yes, I haven't cooked for a long time, and I couldn't help but make two things when I entered the kitchen this morning." β
Seeing that Han Hui had just scooped a bowl of beef soup, he leaned over and scooped a small spoonful of chopped coriander from the small plate on the table, and asked him, "Do you have anything special about eating, is there anything you don't eat, such as green onions, coriander, chili peppers, etc.?" Seeing Han Hui shake his head, he poured the chopped coriander from the spoon into his bowl, "Then add some more this, it will taste better." β
Han Hui hadn't recovered from the surprise that the bodyguard he had just hired had turned into a chef, so he mechanically scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, tasted it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's delicious!" β
Zhou Yin smiled, "It's delicious." β
Han Hui savored it, "Why is it sweeter than what I used to eat, how did you do it?" β
Zhou Yin, "I put some crab meat fillet, most people don't dare to put this in the beef soup, for fear that it will mix up a strange taste, in fact, as long as you master the ratio of quantity and seasoning, and hang out the sweetness of crab fillet, it will have a different flavor." β
Tong Han interjected, "Xiao Nan, you can also sit down and eat." β
Zhou Yin took off his apron and sat down, he had already eaten and was not too hungry, but according to the inertia of this body, he not only liked to cook, but also liked to watch others eat sweetly and sweetly what he made, so he sat down and admired the eating appearance of these two.
Han Hui looked at his uncle and then at Zhou Yin, "Uncle, what do you call him?" When did you become so familiar? β
Tong Han was calm and calm, and his movements were very elegant to Sheng Zhouyin's seafood and tofu soup, ignoring his question at all.
It was Zhou Yin who replied, "What's this, Aunt Huang also calls me that." β
Han Hui thought to himself, Aunt Huang is so affectionate, it is probably because she sees that you are beautiful and can help in the kitchen, the old aunt likes a well-behaved big boy like you in her heart, when has my uncle been so amiable to people? There's definitely something wrong with him calling you that!
After eating a very homely but extremely delicious breakfast, Han Hui wanted to smear oil on the soles of his feet and go out with Zhou Yin, but was stopped by Tong Han, "Xiaohui, why are you going?" β
Han Hui, "I promised Yueyue yesterday to go to her today. β
Tong Han, "What's the hurry, Kevin's side hasn't solved it yet, you be honest, don't rush out to play today, stay at home and help me look at the company's financial statements." β
Han Hui wanted to object, but after being lightly glanced at by his uncle, he was immediately silenced and followed to the study with a depressed face.
Zhou Yin looked at it from behind and found it interesting, Tong Han was ten years older than Han Hui at most, how could he shock his nephew like this.
He didn't know that Han Hui was not afraid of anyone at home since he was a child, he was afraid of his uncle, although Tong Han didn't clean him up after his nephew grew up, but a strong inertia had been formed, and Han Hui habitually wanted to obey unconditionally as long as his uncle sank in front of him.
Han Hui knew that Tong Han had always wanted him to help manage some of the company's affairs, but he was lazy by nature, and his family had enough money, so he didn't have to work hard, and he could live comfortably with the shares in his hand, so he always pushed back and avoided his uncle.
This look made it dark, and the lunch was sent into the study by the nanny and aunt, and it was not until the afternoon that I really felt that my eyes were spent before I was released by Tong Han.
I was so tired that I didn't have the interest to go out to meet my girlfriend, so I just walked around in circles to relieve the symptoms of dizziness and swelling first.
When he walked outside, he saw Zhou Yin sitting under the flower stand, meditating on a large radish in his hand.
Han Hui was strange and asked him, "What are you doing?" β
Zhou Yin told him, "I'm wondering what it tastes like." β
Han Hui almost laughed, "It must be radish-flavored, what else can it be?" β
Zhou Yin shook his head, "There is a difference between radish and radish, some are spicy, some are sweet, some have more water, some have chaff, and even bitter, even if it is the same variety of radish, it will not all taste the same, if you use these radishes to cook, then their respective tastes will have a great impact on this dish, before cooking vegetables, you must figure out what the specific taste of this radish you use to make ingredients, and decide the cooking technique and the amount of seasoning according to its characteristics." β
Han Hui fainted, "It won't be so troublesome, then if the restaurant provides the dish of stewed pork ribs with radish every day, wouldn't the cook be tired to death, and he would have to taste each radish first and then reformulate the cooking method one by one?" β
Zhou Yin glanced at him, "Theoretically, it should be like this, but it is indeed too troublesome, so the better the restaurant, the stricter the procurement control of ingredients, and strive to ensure that the quality of vegetables and fish imported every day can be maintained at a stable level." I don't know if you've noticed, the top xx Lin star restaurants are not very large-scale, and it is impossible to open a chain, in addition to high-level chefs can not be found, food control is also one of the reasons. β
Han Hui shrugged, "It seems that you have a deep study of cooking, didn't you say that you studied architecture in college, why are you still interested in learning this?" β
Zhou Yin's eyes were a little distant, "When I was a child, my father took it alone, he was busy with work and was often not at home, so he found me a nanny who was very good at cooking. The things that the nanny made were really delicious, and I was very patient in order to eat good things, and I sat in the kitchen every day to watch her cook, and I probably liked cooking at that time. β
Han Hui thought about it, "Then your father is good to you, it's not easy to find a nanny who is responsible and good at cooking now, let alone when you were young!" Anyway, I've always wanted to find a babysitter like this to cook for me and take care of things, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. The eldest young master's mouth was not blocked, "Is it because your father is so good that he spoiled you, so he ran away from home at such a big age." β
Zhou Yin didn't get angry when he heard this, but his eyes dimmed, Si Nan's father was not harsh on Si Nan in some aspects, Si Nan used the best snacks among his classmates, and he also had brand-name clothes in college, new mobile phones and computers, and enough pocket money, but because of this occasional good thing, Si Nan couldn't give up, and always imagined that his father actually loved him in his heart, and then became disillusioned again and again with that person's cold words and rough fists.
I remember that before Sinan was six or seven years old, his father was still like all good fathers in the world, he would play with him, take him to the park, buy him gifts and carry him on his shoulders, but then I don't know what happened and became another terrible look.
Sighing softly, "When I was a child, my dad was very good to me, but then he couldn't, especially after my stepmother had a younger brother, when he was looking at me, he wanted to beat me." I remember once my brother said at home that I was eating white rice, I couldn't help yelling at him, and in the evening my stepmother complained to my dad, my dad seemed to have drunk some wine that day, and he was very angry, so he rushed into my room and kicked me without saying a word, kicking and scolding 'What's the use of Lao Tzu raising you, he/mom/, useless things dare to bully my son!'" I told myself at that time, just hold on until I graduate from college, and when I can live independently and move out, I won't have to be at home anymore to get in the way of their family of three," he smiled wryly, "but unfortunately I didn't make it to graduation in the end." β
Han Hui opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, he was a big young master with a bad temper and didn't care much about other people's feelings, yes, but his heart was not bad, he couldn't help but sympathize with Si Nan when he heard this kind of thing, and finally clumsily stretched out his hand and patted him, "Hey-this, don't think too much, there is everything in this world, you have to think about it when you meet it, you can be independent at the age of twenty, you haven't already found a job, and the salary of being a bodyguard in our family will definitely not be lower than that of a college student who has just graduated." β
Zhou Yin looked up and smiled at him, and jumped down from the railing under the flower stand, "Yes, you should want to open a little." "I have figured out what this radish tastes like, so I'm going to make a beef stew and eat it at night." β
Han Hui was speechless, thinking that this kid had forgotten that he was here to be my bodyguard!
Looking at Zhou Yin's very beautiful and capable back, he comforted himself, the rice cooked by this kid is really delicious, if he wants to neglect his duties tonight, he will not be a bodyguard and a chef, anyway, he is too tired to go out to find Xin Yue.
Thinking of the delicious breakfast in the morning, Han Hui decided to go for a swim first, first, after looking at the financial statements for a day, he saw that he had back pain and needed to move, and secondly, he was naturally appetizing by the way.
When he sat down at the dinner table and faced a large bowl of fragrant beef noodles in front of him, Han Hui once again affirmed his wise decision.
This beef noodle is different from the general beef noodle, the soup is very little, but it is more juicy than the dry mixed noodles, it is made of soup made of beef stewed radish that Zhou Yin said in the afternoon, and then mix the boiled hand-rolled noodles into it, a few large pieces of crispy beef and translucent radish are spread on it, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander, fried white sesame seeds, because I know that Tong Han and Han Hui's uncle and nephew have nothing to taboo, so they also drizzle a little freshly squeezed pepper oil and chili oil, and finally cook a little balsamic vinegar to enhance the flavor when they are served.
Han Hui first picked up a piece of translucent radish and put it in his mouth, the radish has been stewed to the entrance melt Cheng dΓΉ, each piece is full of the aroma of beef, a light bite is full of fragrant juice, like a warm current, properly ironing all the taste buds on the tongue, each taste bud reflects the message is comfortable, enjoy!
Han Hui closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly believed Si Nan's words in the afternoon about the taste of each radish being different and that it was necessary to adapt to local conditions when cooking, and Si Nan must have done this when he made this radish beef stew.
Eating another piece of beef, I found that it was also a pleasure on the tip of the tongue, the crispy texture, the aroma of the meat mixed with the fragrance of the radish, perfectly covering the little taste of the beef itself, giving full play to the complementary effect of several ingredients in a dish.
Then Han Hui didn't care about emotion, he ate a big bowl of beef noodles attentively, and after eating, he found that he was full of satisfaction after eating a meal, if it weren't for his pretty good upbringing, and habitually putting an end to rude behavior, he would definitely spread out on the sofa and rub his stomach and shout, "It's so comfortable to eat!" β
