Chapter 188: Entertaining Yexuan

In the past, shrimp, crabs, fish, artificial kelp, seaweed, etc., have also achieved initial results with everyone's efforts, and the end of the year is approaching, and the things that should be busy are also busy.

"What's going on in the restaurant?" Yan Yan asked in the private room of the crayfish restaurant.

"The house is basically built, and the next step is to customize the décor and furniture," Yexuan said.

"This is the decoration drawing, it was decorated before the year, and the furniture can be picked up after the year," Yan Yan handed the drawings in his hand to Ye Xuan, "By the way, you can arrange it and prepare to go back, it's been half a year, and the family should miss you." ”

"You're driving me away!" Ye Xuan said aggrievedly.

"Such a big person, you can't do nothing all day." Yan Yan had a headache for Ye Xuan.

"Am I not working with you?"

"Yes, yes, but you should have something to do at home, right? Okay, you have to communicate with your family when you go back, you know? "Although Yan Yan doesn't know the situation of Yexuan's family, he grew up with Bai Hao, so his family must be not bad.

"Yes, but I have a request!" Ye Xuan looked at Yan Yan and asked silently, Yan Yan nodded before he said, "Before leaving, I want to visit the door!" ”

"Why?" Yan Yan didn't expect him to make such a request, "You want to know my father?" "Isn't that right?

"Of course, if you meet first, it won't be so abrupt when you propose marriage in the future! Also, I eat the food you cooked! Ye Xuan hugged Yan Yan and said with a smile.

"You bastard!" Speaking of proposing, Yan Yan was a little embarrassed. Because she doesn't have an idea of that yet.

"Alright, let's set it for the first day of December!" Yexuan didn't care about Yan Yan and made the decision alone. And so it was settled.

On the first day of December, Yan Yan went with Yan Qingshan to buy ingredients early in the morning, although Yan Yan felt that it was nothing for Yexuan to come for a meal, but Yang and Yan Qingshan had to be hospitable, so Yan Yan had no choice but to buy ingredients together.

Yan Qingshan is hospitable, he always has to buy meat dishes such as fish and meat, and Yan Yan has been driven crazy by him. It was not easy to buy it, and when she got home, Yang grabbed her and prepared lunch, because Yexuan was here for lunch.

Yan Yan first made pork ribs, tofu and kelp soup; Wash the kelp and control the water. Cut into long cubes, wash the ribs, blanch them in a pot under cold water, remove them and soak them in warm water. Cut the corn into sections. Cut the tofu into small pieces, put pork ribs, green onions, ginger and rice wine in the casserole, pour in an appropriate amount of water, boil over high heat, skim off the foam, then boil over low heat for about 20 minutes, put in and pour in kelp pieces and corn segments, then boil for 20 minutes with a strong fire, and finally pour in the tofu and continue to cook for 15 minutes. Remove the ginger slices and green onions, and add refined salt to taste. Sprinkle with chopped coriander.

"Yan Yan, is this soup a little lighter?" Yang Shi watched her from the side, and felt that such a light soup was not very good.

"Mother, this soup is the most suitable to drink in autumn and winter, this tofu and kelp are complementary, good for the body!" Yan Yan thought to herself, the Japanese think this is the way to eat "immortality"!

"Really?" Yang smiled when he heard this, and no longer hindered her.

Yan Yan then made steamed pork, rice and glutinous rice (about 2:1 ratio) mixed evenly, added 10 peppercorns, fried in a pot over low heat until yellow, and then smashed into the size of coarse rice grains, and then took peppercorns and fried until slightly charred, the fragrance was strong, and after cooling, pounded into powder, the pork belly was washed and drained, and cut into large slices; Add finely chopped bean paste, five-spice powder, Sichuan pepper powder and a little soy sauce, add steamed meat powder, stir thoroughly, and adjust the dryness and humidity with green onion and ginger juice; Neatly stack the meat slices, pot them in cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to low heat and steam for 1.5 hours.

"It smells so good! What's this? Yang was picking vegetables on the side, and when he smelled the fragrance, he leaned over and asked.

"It's tamales, it's delicious!" Yan Yan hasn't made it for a long time, it's a little rusty, and some seasonings are not available here, but I believe the taste is still good.

Yan Yan hurriedly made saliva chicken again, as the so-called "no chicken is no feast"; Wash the chicken and put it in the pot, add the cold water that overflows the chicken, put in the ginger slices, green onions, rice wine and boil over high heat, skim off the foam, change to low heat, the degree of fire makes the water surface roll slightly, the chicken that comes out of this method is very tender, and the skin is not easy to crack. Cook the chicken for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, without opening the lid while simmering. Prepare a basin of ice water, the cooler the better, put the stewed chicken in ice water and chill it, it is best to change the ice water once in the meantime, until the chicken is cold.

Then make the red oil. First of all, fry the peanuts, let them cool, and peel them; After that, mash the peeled peanuts, mix them with cooked sesame seeds, chili powder and salt in a small bowl; Heat the pot and pour in a little more vegetable oil, add ginger slices, green onion slices, garlic slices, spices, peppercorns, cinnamon, fry them over low heat until the onions and garlic are dry and slightly discolored, turn off the heat, and put out the seasonings in the pot; Pour the fried hot oil into a bowl with crushed peanuts, quickly stir well with chopsticks, then cover the bowl with a plate, and simmer for a while, which can make the red oil bright in color and fragrant in taste.

Add an appropriate amount of soup to boil chicken with sesame sauce to make it viscous, add light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and minced garlic and mix thoroughly, and make sure the sugar is completely melted; Put in an appropriate amount of fried red oil, put in an appropriate amount of boiled chicken soup and mix well to make a sauce, cut the chicken into small pieces, put it on a plate, pour in the sauce, and then sprinkle with chili rings and minced chives to taste.

"It's so fragrant!" Yang took a deep breath and exclaimed.

Yan Yan shook his head with a smile, and then made a fragrant white jade roll; Chop the pork, the pork is three points fat and seven points lean, chop the mushrooms as well, chop the chives and ginger, put them into the meat filling with the mushrooms, add salt, oil, soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine, black pepper, mix well, and marinate for a while; Boil the cabbage until soft, pass it in cold water once, wrap the meat in a ball with the cabbage, and steam it for a quarter of an hour.

Yan Yan also made fish-flavored shredded pork, vinegared shredded potatoes, sauerkraut fish and bacon fried cabbage, meat and vegetable matching, and soup, Yan Qingshan and Yang were very satisfied, and hurriedly set the table, Yexuan also pinched the time.

"Hello uncle and aunt, I'm really sorry to let you entertain!" Ye Xuan came in with the appearance of a handsome son, followed by the shopkeeper An, with a gift in his hand.

"Where, where! Ye Gongzi is willing to come to give us face, "Yan Qingshan was the most happy, and walked to the dining table with people, the Yang family also beckoned everyone to eat, Yan Yan followed and did not speak, Yan Shaojie was the eldest son after all, and he also greeted him, although he didn't think much about it, because he felt that Ye Xuan was suspected of seeing his father-in-law.

"What a meal! Thinking about it, Yan Yan and his aunt have worked very hard," Ye Xuan saw the food on the table, and his eyes almost flashed green.

"Coarse tea and light rice, poor hospitality," Yan Shaojie said lightly, Yan Qingshan and Yang smirked on the side.

"If this is coarse tea and light rice, I would like to eat it for the rest of my life!" Ye Xuan said that, and glanced at Yan Yan meaningfully, Yan Yan immediately lowered his head when he met his gaze, a little embarrassed. (To be continued......)
