But when Su Le began to prepare for lunch, Xie Ma immediately found out that this kid was definitely a kitchen expert, Su Le washed the hen he bought, and Yuan Mei wrote in the food list of Suiyuan that the chicken is the most powerful, and all the dishes depend on it. If a good person accumulates yin virtue and no one knows it. Therefore, he ordered the head of the feather clan to be attached to him by other birds.

Su Le cleaned the hen, chopped off the mouth and claws, pulled a knife along the calf, and then split the back of the chicken in half, chopped into a three-centimeter-long rectangular square, cut the raw chestnuts with skin and cut the cross flower mouth, washed them with water, and put them in a pot to cook and peel them thoroughly. Put the wok on top of the hot fire, add peanut oil and burn until five or six percent hot, stir-fry the ginger and scallion chicken pieces, then add soy sauce, clear soup, cooking wine, sugar, refined salt, put in the peeled chestnuts after boiling, transfer to the slight fire, and simmer slowly.

Mama Xie knew at a glance that he was making chestnut chicken, and secretly said in her heart that there was nothing unusual, she would also cook this dish.

When the chestnut chicken is simmering on the fire, Su Le washes and chops the fresh eel into a meat puree, puts it in a small basin, adds about half a catty of water and a little refined salt and stirs it vigorously to make fish soup, and when the fish soup is stirred to the surface of the water when it is put into the water, add half a catty of dry starch and stir it into a fish soup paste in one direction. In the pork half a catty, 30 grams of dried shrimp minced, green onion two or two cut into fine mince, put together in a bowl, add soy sauce and stir into a filling, kneaded into a round ball arranged in the plate, the left hand takes the fish soup paste spread out in the palm, the right hand uses a spoon to take the filling and put it in the middle of the fish soup, wrap the stuffing balls into the fish soup paste, and then squeeze out the spherical fish balls from the round hole formed by the thumb and index finger.

After all the fish balls are finished, pour the fish balls with water from the basin into the pot of cold water, cook them over low heat, put two catties of bone broth into the pot, add shrimp oil monosodium glutamate, pour in the fish balls and cook. Scoop the broth into a bowl until the balls swell, drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with pepper and chopped green onions, and a dish of fish balls wrapped in heart is complete.

At the same time, the chestnut chicken has also been stewed, Su Le put the two dishes, let Xie's mother send them to the table, wash the oyster meat, mix it with minced garlic, ginger, refined salt, dry starch and water to form a pulp, scoop the lard and heat it in a pan. Pour down the oyster syrup and spread it into a round piece, knock open the duck egg and spread it on top of the oyster syrup. When the bottom layer is crispy, flip one side and add lard and fry again, and wait until both sides are crispy and yellow, which is a special snack oyster fried in Huinan.

Mrs. Ge didn't lie. She is seventy-eight years old this year, and when people reach this age, their appetite is naturally greatly reduced, although the meals at home are also carefully crafted, but the old lady always can't be energetic when she eats, and when she sees chestnut chicken and hearty fish balls on the table, the old lady immediately smells the tempting fragrance.

Mrs. Ge picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a chestnut, which was already soft after simmering. The aroma of the hen's meat blends into the soup and the fragrance of the chestnuts themselves, mellow and fragrant, not greasy, Su Le still spent a lot of thought before coming here. Thinking that Mrs. Ge is old, her teeth and mouth are definitely not as good as those of young people, so today's cooking is mainly chewy and easy to digest.

Mrs. Ge nodded, and picked up the spoon again. Scoop up a hearted fish ball, the color of the fish ball is crystal white. Warm and moist as jade, the fish balls float with a faint heat, the entrance is smooth and crisp, the soup is not greasy, the eel meat is tender and delicious, the pork filling is beautiful and rich, the two different flavors are intertwined, and the wonderful taste beauty is changed on the tip of the tongue.

Mrs. Ge couldn't help but praise: "It's so delicious, I haven't eaten such delicious fish balls for a long time." I can't imagine that Xiao Su is so young that he can cook such a good dish. ”

In fact, Xie Ma can also cook these two dishes, and the reason why Ge Wenhuai invited Xie Ma from Huinan is to take care of her mother's taste, but her two dishes are much worse than Su Le's. On the surface, the ingredients are the same and the process is the same, but the control of each program is different, and the effect is completely different.

At this time, Su Le brought the freshly fried oysters up, and Mrs. Ge took a bite of the oyster fried, feeling crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, tender and delicious, and the fragrance was very strong. The teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and the aftertaste is long. This familiar taste reminded her of her hometown, remembered her childhood, touched the scene, the old lady's eyes were red, and she slowly put down her chopsticks.

Mother Xie, who had been observing the old lady's reaction, said with concern: "Auntie, are you okay?" Is this oyster fried not to your taste? Mother Xie didn't eat a mouthful of food, but she was quite unconvinced, a child who had just left school, even if he could cook, how good could he be? I eat more salt than you eat rice.

Mrs. Ge shook her head and said, "It's okay." She picked up a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled at Su Le: "Su Le, don't laugh at me, this oyster fried reminds me of the past in my hometown, when I think of me, it's really delicious......" The old lady's nose was sour and wanted to cry, the taste of this oyster fried was a little similar to what her mother had made in the past, people are often touched by some inadvertent details, and the old lady is exactly like this.

Su Le smiled and said, "Grandma Ge, I learned my cooking skills from my mother, and I haven't undergone formal training, if you think it's delicious, it's fine." ”

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!"

A somewhat weak voice came from upstairs: "Mama Xie, what kind of meal did you cook today?" It smells so good! ”

Su Le raised his eyes to look upstairs, but saw a middle-aged beautiful woman slowly walking down from the upstairs, she was in her forties, her face was beautiful, although she was wearing home clothes, it still did not damage her elegant temperament. It's just a little thinner, weak, and gives people the feeling of chronic malnutrition.

Mrs. Ge smiled and said, "Jingru, you're up." This woman is her daughter-in-law Li Jingru, and when Su Le first arrived, she was still resting in bed, so she didn't know that there were guests at home.

Li Jingru was also slightly stunned when she saw Su Le, she didn't expect that there would be guests at home, Mrs. Ge introduced to her: "Su Le, my little fellow, your eldest brother specially entrusted him to come over and cook me a hometown meal." She said to Su Le again, "You should be called Aunt Li." ”

Su Le stood up and called Aunt Li very politely.

Li Jingru nodded and walked over, she was really thin, with green tendons on her neck and skinny hands. Su Le couldn't help but secretly wonder, shouldn't she be sick?

Li Jingru said: "Su Le, you sit!" ”

Su Le smiled: "I'll go to the kitchen and fry two more home-cooked dishes for Grandma Ge to try." ”

Mrs. Ge said: "No need, don't be busy, let Mother Xie do it, you sit down and accompany me to eat and chat, Jingru, why don't you come and try it too?" ”

Li Jingru nodded, sat down next to her mother-in-law, picked up the spoon and ate a fish ball, blinked her eyes and said, "It's delicious, this fish ball is really delicious, you made it?" ”

Su Le nodded, only to find out at this time that Mrs. Ge and Mother Xie were both stunned, Su Le didn't understand what was going on, Li Jingru was an anorexic, speaking of which was all the root cause of weight loss, she was a history professor at Wuyue University, in order to maintain her body shape, she had been strictly controlling her diet, who would have thought that she had anorexia three years ago, and she hardly ate much, and even when the family ate, she didn't go to the table, who would have thought that today she would be attracted by the fragrance of the food, Not only did I come to the restaurant from upstairs, but I also ate a fish ball.

Mrs. Ge couldn't remember the last time her daughter-in-law sat at the dining table to eat, how could this not surprise her.

Mother Xie was impressed by Su Le now, you must know that this hostess has not eaten her own food for a long time, today is really evil, she actually ate it with a different person.

Li Jingru ate another piece of oyster fried and praised it: "It's delicious, I haven't eaten such a delicious thing for a long time." Seeing that the people around her were looking at her in amazement, Li Jingru couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't know what's wrong, I feel very hungry after I get up, I smell the aroma of food, and I don't feel bored like in the past, I want to eat, is my anorexia suddenly better?" ”

Mrs. Ge was very excited, although she didn't believe that the food made by Su Le would have such a miraculous effect, but in any case, her daughter-in-law's anorexia suddenly cured itself, this is a great joy for their family, the daughter-in-law has been sick for three years, and the anorexia has worsened in the past six months, so she put aside her college work and stayed at home to recuperate, and she went to the hospital for more than 20 days last month.

Li Jingru was full of praise for Su Le's oyster frying, Su Le made a few dishes, but the old lady didn't eat much, after all, she was old and had limited food, and most of them were eaten by Li Jingru.

Mother Xie went to cook a few more dishes, but Li Jingru didn't bother to move the chopsticks for the dishes she made, which made Mother Xie quite embarrassed, but Su Le took a few bites and praised a few words politely.

After lunch, Su Le wanted to say goodbye, but Mrs. Ge had to leave him at home to chat, Su Le accompanied the old lady to sit under the grape trellis in the garden outside, and after chatting a few words, the old lady fell asleep quietly, and Mother Xie came over and quietly pushed her to the room.

Li Jingru changed into a dark purple skirt and walked out, and when she saw her mother-in-law asleep, she shook her head with a smile and said, "When people get older, they often fall asleep while talking, Su Le, don't mind." ”

Su Le smiled: "How can it be, everyone has a time when they are old, and Grandma Ge is very good." ”

Li Jingru sat down opposite Su Le, waiting for Xie Ma to come out and let her make a pot of tea.

Su Le took a sip of the teacup, he had a very good overall feeling about the Ge family, although it was a family of eunuchs, but they didn't have too many official frames, and they treated themselves as a commoner and were amiable and approachable.

Li Jingru said: "Su Le, what is the name of the cake you made today?" It's delicious. ”

Su Le smiled: "Oyster fried, fried with raw oysters, is very common in Huinan. Aunt Li, do you really have anorexia? ”
