Chapter 52: Fried Chicken
"I don't need to be broken, it's just that the master wants to trouble the adults to take care of the Xiao girl in Huadianfang more, and record her words and deeds and submit them on time every month."
"Huh? Then, then I will immediately send someone to arrest Miss Xiao and take care of her in my mansion......"
"Lord Zhang! It's 'care', not 'care'! ”
After the fat man roared loudly, his fingertips vigorously rubbed the bulging temples of the green tendons. This adult is good at everything, but he lacks a heart, not to mention how hard it is to explain something to him~
"Don't affect her normal life, and don't let her find out that someone is watching her, every qiē has to be done in secret, secret! Got it? ”
No matter how you say it, this adult is also an official of the imperial court, and the fat man is not good at yelling at him, but I have to say that every time I see his humble face, the fat man wants to step forward and slap him twice, and it is light to scold him in comparison.
"Understood!"
Master Zhang nodded again and again.
"Then that's it~ I have to go back to my master's life, and remember to report the record on the twenty-fifth of each month. That...... Xiaomin took his leave~"
Finally explained the task completely, the fat man breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to leave the camp in minutes, so in the face of Lord Zhang's enthusiasm, it was only a perfunctory excuse, and when he left, he was even more vigorous under his feet, and he was so tired that he wanted to send him thousands of miles away, and he was already panting like a cow when he was sent to the gate.
At this time, Ruoshui didn't know that he had been targeted by an unknown big person, and he was still happily pulling Xiao Yong to research new products in his own stove~
Today, I earned a full three hundred taels of silver, which is enough to buy a set of exquisite small courtyard houses in Xiangnan County. Ruoshui discussed with the godmother, and decided to pick an auspicious day of the zodiac to move the family, in recent days, in addition to cleaning up the soft, but also to go to the county to find a house that can be carried by price and location.
What's more, moving to a new home is a new beginning. There is no need to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to catch the morning market, even if the business is good, you can't bring enough goods, if you want to hire a car, the gains outweigh the losses, and now these problems are all solved, so Ruoshui has also begun to pay attention to new products.
The muddy water from the pot of mashed potatoes that had been dried on the windowsill of the stove a few days ago had long since trickled down, leaving only a thick layer of white powder at the bottom of the pot. Ruoshui took the basin back and carefully poured all the powder into a porcelain bowl.
"Sister, what are these powders?"
Xiao Yong pointed to the coarse porcelain bowl and asked curiously.
"It's called starch, and it's a seasoning for cooking."
"Cooking? What to cook? ”
"Fried chicken~"
Xiao Yong was stunned for a moment, looked at the coarse porcelain bowl, and then at the group of chickens in the fence in the yard, with obvious reluctance in his eyes.
"Xiao Yong...... Is that possible? ”
His reluctance was very understanding, so she did not rush to urge, but cautiously asked for his opinion.
"Yes! I promised my sister that I would never go back! Besides, we're going to have more chickens, right? ”
Looking back, Xiao Yong was already full of smiles, and only the slightly red circles under his eyes and bitten white lips could tell how difficult the choice he had just made.
Now that he had made a decision, Ruoshui didn't make too many excuses and persuasions, but said with a smile as if he didn't notice his reluctance at all.
"Yes, we will have more and more chickens, and when they move to a new home, we will build you a big chicken coop so that they can have a new home. Good no good? ”
Ruoshui coaxed with a smile, and Xiao Yong clapped his hands very happily and jumped on the spot.
But this fried chicken is easier said than done, and it is much more difficult to implement, first of all, the first level is stuck in killing chicken.
In order to express his absolute and willing dedication, Xiao Yong also deliberately picked an extraordinarily fat broiler chicken and insisted on using it for cooking. As for how fat it is, in short, he can't carry it alone, and even Ruoshui has tried all his strength to be able to press it to the ground honestly.
Adhering to the concept that children are resolutely not touching dangerous instruments, Ruoshui is still stubborn despite being in a state of blackness about the work of killing chickens. After a protracted battle of people chasing chickens, it finally ended in the victory of Ruoshui.
But Ruoshui only has these two hands, so when she found that she finally caught the chicken, but she could only stare at each other with it and there was no way to take each other, she suddenly felt that the whole person was not good. In the end, Xiao Yong was familiar with the kitchen knife, and without blinking, he cut the throat of this chicken Lilisuo, which also made Ruoshui deeply review himself, and he was not even as good as a child.
The rest of the work is much smoother, drain the chicken blood and then clean the internal organs, if the water carefully separates the chicken legs and wings, then remove the chicken breast, chop off the chicken neck and chicken feet, and then put the whole chicken rack up. Chickens and poultry are really treasured all over the body, and almost all the parts can be used to make various delicacies.
This time, Ruoshui wanted to start with the chicken wings first, and then put away the other parts that could not be used for the time being, and then she began the process of making the new product.
The first is to prepare the seasoning for marinating.
In addition to the potato starch that had been prepared in advance, Ruoshui also prepared some onions, garlic, thyme, peppercorns and other materials, and since she couldn't find pepper anywhere, she had to use peppercorns instead.
The thyme is washed and the veins are removed and finely chopped, and the onion and garlic are also peeled and finely chopped. Compared with these materials, the preparation of peppercorn powder is relatively more complicated.
Stir-fry over low heat in a dry pan, and after the pepper is gradually fried and there is a continuous crackling sound, put it out and spread it on the table to cool. After the pepper is cooled, it will become extremely brittle and easy to crush, at this time, it is repeatedly rolled with a rolling pin, and finally the powdered into is filtered through a sieve, leaving only the fine powder.
At this point, all the seasonings for marinating are ready.
Divide the chicken wings into a bowl with a knife, pour in the prepared seasoning, add soy sauce and cooking oil, and the mechanical repetition remains. It's just rubbing and rubbing...... Since there is not enough soaking time, it can only rely on manual labor~
Fortunately, with Xiao Yong with him, the two of them chatted about this work without being too boring, and about half an hour passed, and the chicken wings in the bowl finally reached the requirements of Ruoshui in terms of color and feel.
