Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dinner Party (Wan Geng, Ask for the First Order)
The busy day finally passed, Liu Quan's face was full of excitement, and he walked with the wind under his feet.
"Brother Wen! Let's clean up this place quickly, and put two buckets of well water in the backyard in this lobby, otherwise, this meal will heat up a person! ”
Wen Hao's face was also covered with a thin layer of sweat, and he quipped when he heard the words: "Look at your excited look, isn't it just that Mrs. said to make a new food?" As for being so excited? ”
Liu Quan smiled, "Brother Wen, don't say it, little brother, I've really been thinking about this new food!" Every time Madame makes something new, it's amazing, think about the taste, tsk, it's really worrying! ”
Liu Quan inhaled saliva while looking intoxicated.
Wen Hao shook his head and smiled, this Liu Quan, it's really a time when the treasure doesn't stop!
Instead of taking care of Liu Quan who was excited, Wen Hao came to the backyard alone, picked up a small half basin of water from the well, returned to the lobby, and carefully sprinkled it on the ground.
This sprinkles water on the ground, one is to cool down, and the other is to prevent dust from splashing up during cleaning, staining the wiped table.
"Lang'er, I've been tired for a day, there is a small half bucket of hot water in the backyard bathroom, and I have also made cold water and put it inside. You will wash with cold water and go back to your room to rest. I'll call you again when the meal is ready. ”
Wen Hao said to Xuanyuan Lang, who was lying on the counter and showing his tired color.
Xuanyuan Lang raised his head when he heard this, and thought about it carefully, he couldn't help much here, the account book had been done, and there was nothing to do, so he didn't bother, "Okay, then Lang'er will go and squint for a while, and Brother Wen Hao will remember to call me to eat later!" ”
Wen Hao responded with a smile, and Xuanyuan Lang jumped out of the chair and walked slowly to the backyard.
Wen Hao and Liu Quan were cleaning up the tables and chairs outside, and Xia Mei was busy in the kitchen without touching the ground.
Scooped a spoonful of lard and slowly melted it in a hot pot, people here eat lard, stir-fry vegetables too, there is no vegetable oil. This made Xia Mei collapse countless times.
The effect of animal fat is not good, some dishes cannot be made with animal oil, it will appear fishy, there is no way. Xia Mei had to add a little fine sugar every time she was refining lard to remove the fishy smell of a little animal oil.
However, Xia Mei remembered a few days ago that this pork is excellent for making fish. The fish meat is delicious and tender, and there is a greasy and full taste, and then add a little side dishes, absorb the oil, and it is fragrant and healthy.
Xia Mei herself, in her previous life, loved to eat fish, but when she got here, she didn't eat it a few times. Because in this era, people don't like to eat fish, and there are too many fish bones. I once went to the river to catch fish because I was too hungry, but because I ate too quickly, I was stuck in the throat by a fish bone, and I died.
Since then, the fish has been seen as something that only the beggars eat.
Another important point is that the fishy smell is not easy to remove, so no one likes the smell of fish.
However, Xia Mei has a little trick.
The fishy smell of fish is due to the fact that there are two fishy lines. One is on the back and the other is on the abdomen, so Xia Mei cleaned up the fish and cleaned it up an inch or two near the head of the fish. Gently opened a small opening with a knife, and saw a small white dot, and gently tugged it, and a finger-long white line came out.
This is the fishy line, turn the fish over and concoct it in the same way. After removing another fishy line, Xia Mei stuffed the fish belly with ginger slices and garlic, cut the fish diagonally on both sides and cut it into a few knives, then smeared with some minced ginger and a little salt, and marinated it slightly.
Although the fishy thread is removed, if you marinate it with a small amount of ginger and garlic, the fishy smell will be completely gone, and the deliciousness of the fish will be even more perfect.
Seeing that the oil in the pot was hot, Xia Mei put the marinated fish down the pot, fried it over low heat until it was ripe, golden brown on both sides, and then fished it out.
Then add minced ginger and garlic, green onions, star anise, stir-fry until fragrant, add other side dishes, stir-fry a few times and pour into a bowl of water, and add fish when it is hot.
Add vinegar, salt, sugar, turn the fish from time to time, about a cup of tea, then scoop up the fish and put it on a plate, slowly reduce the juice in the pot, scoop it up and pour it evenly on the fish.
Finally, it is embellished, Xia Mei is very proud to carve a radish flower decoration, sprinkled with a little green onion, red and green, fragrant, tempting index finger movement.
Wen Xi on the side was already stunned, originally when she saw that her master was going to make fish, she actually refused in her heart, after all, the previous concept was that this fish, not to mention that there were too many fish bones, it didn't taste good!
But the master just smiled and said nothing, doing it on his own, telling her to look carefully, but the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, and now this fish, whether it is the appearance or the aroma, is simply mouthwatering!
Wen Xi really knelt for her master! From now on, she has blind trust in her master, and what the master said is right!
No kidding!
Master already has the ability to turn decay into magic, okay?!
At this time, I'm afraid that the meals in the palace are just like that! Wen Xi thought blankly.
"Okay Wenxi, put up the stewed pig's trotters in that pot, I'll cut this marinated pig's head meat into a plate, let's start the meal!"
Wen Xi came back to his senses and saw that there were already a few more plates of steaming dishes on the case, and he couldn't help but admire the master even more, this hand speed is simply amazing!
Hurriedly according to the things assigned by the master, Wen Xi brought the dishes to the outside table the same.
In the lobby, Wen Hao and Liu Quan had already packed up the tables, chairs and benches, and were saluting Xuanyuan Lang at the moment, according to Liu Quan's thoughts, as soon as this Lang'er left, they didn't know when they would see each other again, and they didn't know where Lang'er's family lived, only that they were in Wangcheng.
That place is prosperous that Liu Quan can't think of in his life, I heard that there are many people rubbing shoulders and stepping on their feet, and the best things in the whole country are there, so Lang'er must have seen all the good things.
However, small places also have the characteristics of small places, Liu Quanhun doesn't care if his things are shabby, no matter how strange things everyone has seen, what better can you do?
So Liu Quan, unceremoniously packed a big bag, it is said to be a specialty of Qingshan Town, Wen Hao is very speechless, he has been in Qingshan Town for half a year, and he has never heard of any characteristics, but he can't stop Liu Quan, who can't wait to stuff himself into the baggage.
Anyway, Na Lang'er didn't go back by herself, someone took it, please let that person take it, Wen Hao thought indifferently.
Wen Xi served a plate of dishes with full color and flavor on the table, successfully preventing Liu Quan's "moving" move.
"What's it, so fragrant?"
Liu Quan put down the burden in his hand and walked into the table to take a look, ho! It's all good food! radish pig's trotters, plenty of oil and water; Braised three threads, light and refreshing; There are also slices of fungus meat, which are smooth and tender; Tofu stewed egg, which is rich in nutrition; Chicken fat mushroom soup, thick and delicious.
It's amazing!
Liu Quan wiped his saliva and looked at the "new dish" suspiciously, "This...... Could it be a fish?! (To be continued.) )
