If you want to fully absorb the flavor of tea eggs, it is best to soak them for a day after cooking, and then they will be more delicious, so I am afraid that it will not work if you want to use tea eggs for dinner this afternoon.

"Mom, go cook, I'll just stare at the pot." Gao Xi went out to catch the little golden eagle today, but he didn't eat very well, and he was idle at this time, and he smelled the fragrance of the tea eggs, so naturally his stomach felt a little protested, so he asked his mother to cook.

He thinks that his craftsmanship is still much worse than that of his mother, so as long as his mother is there and his mother is willing to cook, of course, it is better to eat his mother's cooking.

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you." Gao Xi's mother was not very particular about eating in the past, but in order to let the family eat more delicious things in that era of food scarcity, she also tried a lot of methods, although her skills are not as good as the chef, but some special dishes may not be worse than the chef.

"By the way, Mom, when I used to study in Sichuanzhou, I often went out with my classmates to eat Mao Cai, which is not only delicious, but also cheap, with rice, the taste is simply amazing. Can you do it? "To be honest, this is a bit embarrassing for Gao Xi's mother, after all, although there are such things as Mao Cai in Shaanzhou, and there are a lot of them, but Gao Xi's mother really hasn't done it yet, at least Gao Xi herself has never eaten Mao Cai made by her mother.

I was still a little worried, but I heard my sister Gao Yuanyuan say: "Brother, if you want to eat Mao Cai and find me, don't forget, I have worked in a Mao Cai restaurant in our county for a while, although I dare not say how delicious it is." But it's definitely not unpalatable, and it just so happens that you came back this time and brought so many ingredients such as tofu, fish balls, and vermicelli to make steamed vegetables. I'll do it, and let my mom help me." ”

"You really know how to do it, then hurry up, I'll just get the materials I need, oops, I've eaten this vegetable in Sichuan for several years, and I haven't gotten tired of it. But I haven't eaten since I arrived in the United States, which is really weird. Gao Xi heard that his sister actually knew how to cook vegetables. This is really a great thing that joy has come down from heaven.

Mao Cai is definitely a characteristic of Sichuanzhou, that is, a dish cooked in a soup prepared with traditional Chinese medicine and various spices; Fill the dish with a bamboo spoon, usually one spoonful is one serving; Cook in a pot and put it in a bowl, and the bowl should be prepared with various condiments in advance. By the way, scoop a spoonful of soup as the name is called "Mao Cai", and then sprinkle some coriander, green onion and Sichuanzhou's unique tempeh, it has become the most famous and characteristic snack in Sichuan "Mao Cai".

To put it simply, "Mao Cai is a person's hot pot, and hot pot is a group of people's hot pot." ”

Of course, there are all kinds of steamed vegetables in many places now, and the taste is not the same, but Gao Xi has eaten so many steamed vegetables, and he really likes the steamed vegetables in the provincial capital of Sichuan Province the most, and the taste is really authentic.

Gao Xima nodded with a smile and said, "Since Yuanyuan will do it." Then do it, tell your brother what materials you need, and let him pick them up. ”

"Brother. You just choose according to what you used to eat, there is actually no limit to this steamed dish, similar to strings of incense and hot pot, you can take anything and serve anything. As long as you like it, you can take it, and I'll help you take it for you. "Gao Yuanyuan really looks like an expert. I guess I used to cook in a restaurant.

"Okay, I'll come when I go."

Gao Xi went to the warehouse. When I came, I brought a lot of ingredients, including tofu, fish balls, beef, vermicelli, green vegetables, spinach, lotus vegetables, ham meat, tofu skin, and so on. Anyway, he brought all the food he liked, and if it weren't for his limited hands, he would have wanted to bring all the ingredients.

When he went to the kitchen, his sister Gao Yuanyuan and his mother had already prepared the soup and were cooking it, in fact, the most important thing is this soup, as long as the soup is done well, the taste of the cooking is the best.

Gao Yuanyuan said that although she didn't get the secret recipe of the restaurant, but she did it herself, and the taste was still good, Gao Xi tasted the soup, and the taste was really seven or eight points similar to what he ate in Sichuanzhou, in fact, this is fine, he eats feelings, although the taste may not catch up with the authentic food eaten in Sichuanzhou, but as long as it is not unpalatable.

It is said that there are three good things about this steamed dish, which is not false at all.

Strange aroma, mellow taste, and nutrition!

Maocai broth collects the essence of bone broth, with nearly dozens of unique Chinese medicines and natural spices, and uses secret technology to maximize the magic and bone fragrance, and the soup is fragrant. The soup in the pot, "both red and white" red soup has a heavy color and strong spicy, the white soup is elegant and fresh, drink a sip of the soup in the casserole, taste the fragrant and not greasy, delicious and not dry, transparent and long, violent and long-lasting.

What's more, this thing is rich in various nutrients, which also contains a kind of "chondroitin" nutrients, which can greatly enhance the activity of bone cells, and has the health effects of adding bone marrow, increasing blood, slowing down aging, prolonging life, strengthening body beauty, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and enhancing memory.

As long as the soup is ready, the process of making this steamed vegetables is very simple, just a moment, a bowl of steaming steamed vegetables is already out of the pot, Gao Xi swallowed hard, and then took the bowl and sat aside to eat.

He picked up a fish ball with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, although this fish ball is not very authentic, but fortunately, his sister's craftsmanship is still good, plus there is a mother on the side to supervise the work, the cooking made is unusually delicious, even if it does not meet the three major standards of the food, but it can get a passing score.

Gao Xi hadn't eaten two bites yet, and Gao Xi's mother and sister Gao Yuanyuan also came over with bowls to eat.

This cooking is no different from others, in fact, it can cook several bowls at a time, so it is very fast, and I am really not afraid of many guests, even if there are more guests, I can take care of it.

"Brother, the tofu and fish balls in the United States are not authentic, and the ham meat is not delicious, you really want to make Mao Cai, I think it is best to go back to China to make it, although my craftsmanship is not very good, but I dare to guarantee that if it is in China, the taste of my Mao Cai can definitely reach 70 points, and I can only barely pass here." Gao Yuanyuan also tasted it, frowned slightly, and said.

Gao Xi was very happy to eat, and after eating a piece of tofu, he said: "My own sister, you really don't understand, can this United States compare with our country?" If you want me to say, even if this American is rich, he really doesn't understand life, what nutrition is said all day, what safety is said, what health is said, but the average life expectancy of Americans is actually not higher than people in our country, these people, play may be better than we can play, but eating this aspect, really can't, I think even the French are not as good as us Chinese will eat. ”

"These materials are expensive, aren't they?" Gao Xi's mother asked.

"It's not, it tastes worse than the domestic one, but the price is several times that of the domestic one. This can't be helped, Americans eat fewer of these things, this sales are not good, probably few people are willing to do it with their hearts, so scarce is expensive, and naturally the price is expensive, I heard that many of them are directly airlifted from our China, and the price is even more terrible. Gao Xi shook his head and said helplessly.

"Alas, a lot of things in this United States are good, but this food is too monotonous and boring." Gao Xi's mother sighed, took another bite, and then said: "Yuanyuan, let's eat it while it's hot, your father and Zhao Ming should also come back, prepare a steamed dish for them, and heat a few steamed buns, we Shaanzhou people still like to eat steamed buns, and we don't need rice." ”

"Got it, Mom." Gao Yuanyuan smiled and nodded.

Gao Xi said: "This delicacy is to be enjoyed together, cook a pot for Kent and them, I will bring it over for them to taste, if you think it is delicious, you can get some more, if it is not delicious, you won't get it, I guess, he Americans are not used to eating this spicy taste, but this is really fragrant, it would be a pity if the good things could not be shared." ”

"Okay, okay, all listen to you, even if they don't eat, aren't there still a few dogs of yours, in your ranch, the status of sheepdogs is no worse than that of cowboys, even if they are eaten, it's not a waste." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

After the three of them ate, Gao Xi's mother and Gao Yuanyuan went to work again, and Gao Xi poured all the boiled tea eggs into a jar, ready to take them out and eat them after tomorrow.

At the end of the afternoon, Tracy took the small basin and wanted to return it to Gao Xi, but when she saw that Gao Xi had been squatting in front of a jar and refused to leave, she asked curiously: "Lord Xichang, do you have jewelry in that jar, why do you seem to care so much?" ”

"It's not jewelry, it's eggs, tea eggs!" Gao Xi said with a smile.

To be honest, Gao Xi really wants to steal a taste at this time, when the tea eggs are hot, they smell too fragrant, especially the spiced tea eggs they make, and the taste is naturally better.

"Tea eggs? What is Tea Egg? Can tea still lay eggs? ”

Tracy's words almost made the tea in Gao Xi's mouth squirt out, and he said with a wry smile: "Of course tea can't lay eggs, this tea egg means an egg boiled in tea, well, you think so, it's easier to understand in this way, it's too complicated I'm afraid you can't understand it." ”

"Oh, it's an egg boiled in tea, it must have tasted special? But why don't you take it to the pot and cook it, how do you put it outside? ”

"The taste is naturally very special. This has already been cooked, so naturally it will not be cooked again. However, if you want to make the tea eggs more delicious, you have to put them overnight and eat them tomorrow, so that the taste is a compliment. Gao Xi said with a smile.

"Overnight dinner? This is not good, overnight dinner is not good for the body, if the owner of the West Field wants to eat eggs, you can go and eat fresh eggs, I heard my uncle say that the chickens you raise are very good at laying eggs, why not eat it directly? Tracy asked, surprised. (To be continued)
