Chapter 33 [Eight Treasures Braised Sushi]
Chu Xijun should have regarded this place as her own kitchen, and without asking Su Le's consent, she selected a few vegetarian dishes from the vegetable rack. Su Le really saw it, including lettuce, carrots, white radish, bamboo shoots, potatoes, cabbage hearts, and mushrooms. After washing, she cut the strips into strips about 10 cm long and 3 cm wide, and the knife method she used was the knife method, cutting the strips into the shape of wheat ears, then washing the cabbage cramps, picking up a kitchen knife and cutting them into four pieces, and then blanching them in water with other ingredients until they were half cooked.
Peel and remove the seeds of the tomato, cut it into four petals, take the large steaming bowl mat net oil, separate the vegetarian vegetables according to different colors, and place them in the shape of a windmill along the plate, and the tomatoes are placed in the middle, and the water vermicelli and mushrooms are placed around, and the net oil is put on the basket drawer, and it is steamed with a strong fire.
When Su Le's pig's trotters were ready to be plated, Chu Xijun's dish had also been steamed, and she put the steaming bowl on the plate, removed the net oil, and carved the top shape with mushrooms and vegetables. While steaming the dish, another pot is made with a milk broth with salt, cooking wine, pepper, chicken fat, monosodium glutamate, and water starch to form a thin thickening. The thin root is poured over the steamed dish, and a pleasing and refreshing eight-treasure vegetarian stew is completed.
Su Le didn't expect that the ice beauty in front of him was actually a cooking master, he smiled and said: "Eight treasures vegetarian stew, Sichuan famous dishes, my sister's cooking skills are really amazing." Chu Xijun still didn't pay attention to him, Su Le couldn't help but have a feeling of being bored with himself, and he sent him out with a pig's trotter.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes when he smelled the scent of pig's trotters, took a breath and said, "I haven't smelled this for many years." ”
The little beggar's eyes lit up: "Braised pig's trotters, I like to eat them the most." "The chopsticks have been picked up, and they are clearly ready to eat.
Su Le put the pig's trotters on the table, and then Chu Xijun also walked out, since the braised pig's trotters were served, the whole room was filled with a rich and attractive meat aroma.
Chu Xijun then walked out, but the eight-treasure vegetarian stew in her hand exuded a faint fragrance, like a clear stream, no matter how domineering the aroma of the braised pig's trotters was, it could never cover up the taste of this fragrance.
The middle-aged man's eyes slowly opened, and his eyes did not look at the plate of braised pig's trotters, but at the eight-treasure vegetarian stew on the table. The two dishes were placed on the table, the little beggar first sandwiched a piece of pig's trotters, but the middle-aged man stretched out his chopsticks to the eight-treasure vegetarian stew, ate a bite of lettuce, and a fragrant smell mixed with the taste of all kinds of vegetarian dishes poured into his lungs with his throat, and the middle-aged man said softly: "You have grown up!" ”
Chu Xijun sat down opposite his father and said softly: "When you were in prison, I was fourteen years old, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's been ten years, and I don't know what the outside world has become?" ”
Chu Xijun said: "The world in everyone's eyes is different, and you may not like the current world." ”
The middle-aged man poured a glass of wine into the wine glass, picked it up and said, "It feels good to be free." Then he took a sip of wine, closed his eyes intoxicatedly, and quietly felt the wine slip through his throat, feeling the aroma diffuse in his throat, as if the rain was penetrating the dry land for many years, and the heat brought by the alcohol made his life that had been silent for many years begin to recover little by little.
Su Le brought the freshly fried pig's large intestine over, and when he saw that the middle-aged man didn't even move a piece of pig's trotters, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, could it be that the dishes he made were so unbearable? This middle-aged man doesn't even want to taste it?
The middle-aged man greeted Su Le and said, "Su Le, sit down and have a glass of wine with me." This accompaniment says the key, Chu Xijun doesn't drink, and the little beggar doesn't drink either. It's always a bit lonely to drink alone. Wine can help to entertain and relieve worries, but people who really know how to drink often know how to share.
Su Le sat down, the little beggar stretched out his little black hand and grabbed the wine bottle and poured a glass for Su Le, although he was very active and enthusiastic, but his hand was still likely to affect the appetite of others.
The little beggar was unaware of it, and continued to nibble on the pig's feet with relish. Fortunately, the middle-aged man didn't think that his appetite seemed to be very good, although Chu Xijun was indifferent, but her expression did not show any disgust, she just sat there quietly, looking at her father quietly, she seemed to treat everyone else as air.
The middle-aged man glanced at Su Le's arm: "Is there anything wrong with your arm?" "Just now, Su Le used his hand to block a stick for Zhuang Dafang, so he asked this question.
Su Le shook his head and said with a smile: "I have been rough and thick since I was a child, and I am especially able to resist beatings. ”
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, seeing that Su Le's arm was really unwound, and said in his heart that this kid's bones were very hard, and he could really resist the blow.
Su Le said: "Uncle, why don't you eat the dishes I cooked?" Am I not making it delicious? ”
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head and said: "The dishes you make are very good-looking, the taste is very fragrant, and it must be delicious, I also want to eat it, but I have been in it for a long time, and I am used to eating vegetarian dishes that lack salt and oil. ”
Only then did Su Le understand why the middle-aged man didn't eat the dishes he cooked.
The middle-aged man looked at Chu Xijun: "Xijun, you specially made this eight-treasure vegetarian stew for me, it was because I took into account my stomach and intestines, and I was not blessed to suffer these meats, so I personally cooked this delicious dish for me, although you didn't say it in your mouth, you still cared about me in your heart, and my father's heart was very warm." ”
Su Le heard the middle-aged man say this, and only then did she realize Chu Xijun's hard work, don't look at her cold as frost on the surface, she is like a passerby to her father, but she cares about her father in her heart, maybe she is like this by nature, she is not good at expressing her feelings.
The little beggar threw the gnawed bones on the table, and said disdainfully: "How can you be so strict, life is only a short hundred years, why live so carefully, if you have to look forward to everything, be cautious, and don't even have the courage to gnaw a pig's foot, how can you have the courage to face the next few days?" ”
The middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh when he heard the little beggar's words, he nodded and said, "Not bad!" It's really good to have such an opinion at such a young age! ”
The little beggar smiled at Chu Xijun and said, "I'll say it casually, sister, don't be angry, I just think it's a pity if you don't eat such a good pig's feet." ”
When the middle-aged man heard his words, he really stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a red stewed, oily, fragrant claw tip, and took a bite. He commented: "This pig's trotter is very well done!" ”
Chu Xijun said: "I don't think it's good." ”
Su Le said: "This sister has never eaten it, how do you know what it tastes like?" ”
Chu Xijun said: "The selection of materials is very critical to cooking, if you want to stew the pig's feet into the mouth crispy and not greasy, you must start from the selection of materials, the pig's trotters used should be the front hooves are better, and it is best to choose all the tips of the feet, because this part of the meat is rich in gelatin, and the fat is the least, your selection of materials has a problem, with a front hoof, a hind hoof, too greasy, and your pig's trotters are taken out of the freezer, the fresh texture is discounted, the reason why you choose braised instead of stewed, It is because it does not rely on a large number of condiments, and it cannot suppress the fishy taste of the pig's trotters. ”
Although Su Le was a little unconvinced, he had to admit that the cold beauty in front of him was definitely a master of food.
The middle-aged man said: "I think it's very good, for a hungry person, it doesn't matter what color or fragrance it is, the most important thing is to fill your stomach." ”
The little beggar nodded and said, "Uncle is right, I agree!" ”
Su Le also took a bite of the Eight Treasures Vegetarian Stew, and after eating, he looked at Chu Xijun with a somewhat strange expression.
Chu Xijun felt that this kid's eyes were very thief, and she could almost conclude that this kid must have some kind of ghost idea in his head.
Su Le said: "This eight-treasure vegetarian stewed knife worker is really good!" ”
Hearing that he was praising himself, Chu Xijun's heart was relieved.
Ke Su Le then said: "The knife work is there, the taste is there, but it's a pity that the taste is a little worse." ”
Chu Xijun was unimpressed by Su Le's evaluation: "What do you know? ”
The little beggar followed and ate a bite of the eight-treasure vegetarian stew, he was not interested in vegetarian dishes, he held the pig's trotters and munched on it from the beginning, but after eating the eight-treasure vegetarian stew, he felt that the taste was really delicious and refreshing, I don't know what Su Le meant by the poor taste.
Su Le said: "You are strong in the knife work of this dish, but the problem is also in the knife work, it seems that all kinds of vegetarian dishes are cut into the same size by you, and cut into the shape of wheat ears by cutting the knife, but unfortunately you ignore the most basic common sense, everything has its own innate nature, such as people have their own endowments, different ingredients, you cut them into the same shape, give the same cooking time, which causes, some taste just right, some are overcooked, and some are obviously not ripe, lettuce is too bad and loses its crispness, but the bamboo shoots are not enough, As for the other types of ingredients, they also have their own faults. So I'll give you 90 points for this dish in terms of knife work, and in terms of fire work, hehe, it's hard to pass! ”
Chu Xijun was not angry when she heard this, she looked at Su Le quietly, at first she thought that Su Le was deliberately provoking, but after listening to him, she found that there was indeed some truth.
The middle-aged man took another bite of the eight-treasure vegetarian stew, and said with a smile: "Xijun, I think it's good, I will give 100 points to the eight-treasure vegetarian stewed braised pig's trotters, and the combination of these two things is even more delicious." ”
The little beggar interjected: "You give 100 points because she is your daughter, and there must be affection in it." ”
The middle-aged man said: "What about you to score?" ”
The little beggar rolled his eyes: "I'm not a gourmet, I think the most important point is to fill your stomach, no matter how good the food is, you have to divide the object, if you are facing a person who doesn't even have a little appetite, even if your dish can score a hundred points, it will be just dung in front of him." ”
Chu Xijun looked at the little beggar coldly, this little beggar was not only dirty, but also very vulgar.
It's Saturday, ask for recommendations!
