Chapter 103: In the Moonlight, Sudden Progress
Braised mutton, first rinse the mutton with running water, then put it into a basin to soak out the blood water in the mutton, take it out, and then pot it under cold water, without a lid, boil over medium and high heat, turn to low heat and cook for a while, then take out the blanched mutton and rinse it with running water, drain. Cut the green garlic sprouts into sections, crush the ginger, knot the green onions, and wrap the garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and peppercorns in gauze. Put oil in the pot and heat it, stir-fry it with green onions, ginger and garlic, pour in the cut mutton pieces and stir-fry to make it fragrant, add water to cover the mutton, pour in two tablespoons of cooking wine and an appropriate amount of soy sauce, put in the spice packet and rock sugar, cover the pot, turn to low heat and simmer after boiling, and add the radish pieces for a good time during the simmering. Until the mutton is completely crispy and flavorful, and the radish becomes soft and delicious, open the lid and turn to high heat to collect the thick soup, add a little monosodium glutamate and salt to adjust the taste, sprinkle the green garlic seedlings and cover and simmer for a while, so that the green garlic seedlings become more green and fragrant. After opening the lid and putting it into a good-looking casserole, there is no fishy smell of mutton, faintly sweet, fragrant but not greasy, thick and delicious.
"It's the first time I've seen mutton." Su Xian leaned over and said in surprise, "Second brother, why did you think of eating mutton, I heard that this thing is terrible." ”
"You don't understand this, the more fat the mutton, the better, the more valuable it is, it is a taste that only rich people can afford, I heard that the nobles in Liangdu still like that smell." Ning Le said triumphantly, "Lao Tzu is not talented, I got together with a rich uncle when I passed through Hezhou in the past, and I ate mutton steamed buns once......
"Delicious?" Su Xian asked.
Ning Le pursed his lips slightly and was silent for a long time. The throat slid and replied heavily:
"I want to vomit when I think about it now."
"The preferences of the nobles are terrible!" Su Yan said with a white face and shocked.
The aftertaste stretches a face. Displeased:
"Whoever sues you Liang people like the smell of smell, nonsense. What have you eaten, and which restaurant can make mutton to a level that makes people want to vomit? Can you open a restaurant with such poor craftsmanship? He asked aggressively, and his tough momentum made the corners of Ning Le's mouth tremble, and he took half a step back with a dry smile.
"What's wrong with my brother?" Sister-in-law Man asked puzzled.
"He is from Liangdu, and he is always very strict when he mentions his peers." Su Miao said with a smile.
"Lamb does have a bad smell. The people on our side can't stand it, but the people in the northwest love it, and I ate it when I was a child. Yu said with interest. Do you know that there are wild sheep on Crane Mountain, and our family used to live on the top of Crane Mountain, and my father always met a flock of wild sheep when he went into the mountains to hunt. But because the smell is too strong, no one hunts. As a result, there were more and more sheep. Later, there was a famine, and everything I could hunt in the mountains was gone, so I could only start hunting sheep to eat, and I didn't want to eat it again in my life! ”
"When there is a famine, they all beat the sheep, and the sheep are not gone?" Su Yan hurriedly asked.
"But no, it's about gone, I haven't heard of sheep on Crane Mountain for many years." Yu Patrol said.
"The lamb is so pitiful!" Su Yan lowered his head. Narrowing his mouth in pity, he muttered quietly.
Su Miao listened to them talk. His heart beat slightly, and he looked at the aftertaste in surprise. Aftertaste was looking down at her, seeing that she was looking at herself intently, her heart was also beating irregularly, she paused, and asked in a flat voice:
"Why?"
"It's fine." Impossible, how could he go into the mountains to hunt, he is a road idiot, besides, he was with her every day except today, and today he was busy preparing for the birthday banquet, so he didn't have a chance to go into the mountains at all, she must have thought too much.
Aftertaste, his eyes flashed slightly, road dementia is really terrible, and he can't go into the mountains at night, if it weren't for ...... It would be too humiliating to die of starvation because of getting lost and finally ascending to heaven.
"Eat, it's not delicious when it's cold." He said to her.
Su Miao nodded, picked up a piece of mutton and put it in her mouth, it was smooth and tender, rich and mellow, and melted in your mouth.
She said that she wanted to eat braised mutton just because he asked, she hadn't eaten mutton for many years, and she remembered it by chance, so she replied casually. It's not the first time she's eaten mutton, and the dish of braised lamb isn't very special, and this ordinary dish itself doesn't have much magic to marvel at, but when the smooth meat melts between her lips and teeth, and when the mellow sauce spreads on her taste buds, she clearly tastes an unusual sense of warmth, which is a kind of tenderness that is not possessed by the dish itself, but has been completely integrated into the deliciousness. This wisp of cooking emotion is completely different from the feeling that Ning Le and Su Yan cooked before, Ning Le's longevity peach bag is not frank but tries to express his gratitude, Su Yan's longevity noodles are clearly and clearly spread out his deep love for his sisters, but the pot in front of him is bright in color, fragrant, ordinary but delicate and delicious dishes contains as gentle and warm as the slight sweetness, and as deep and pure as the sauce fragrance, Like the aroma of garlic sprouts, it is fresh and faint, although it is not easy to be noticed, but it does have the emotion of zài. She had eaten the dishes he had cooked many times, but this time, only this time, the emotions that had been injected into the finished product were the purest and clearest, or rather they had come out very smoothly and unhindered by his heart.
He was finally able to pour his inner emotions into his craft, and to show them gently through Guò's profound and solid fundamentals, and his works were finally no longer tense and rigid, and became dead by blindly pursuing meaningless perfection.
Merely......
Her heartbeat became irregular and messy, and she suddenly felt a little wrong......
"Second sister! Second sister, what's wrong with you? Su Yan was stunned when she saw that she had eaten a bite of mutton, and called out in surprise.
Su Miao suddenly came back to her senses, subconsciously raised her head, but looked at her suspiciously at the aftertaste, because she was too surprised, she instantly became confused, subconsciously avoided his eyes, and smiled.
"Doesn't it taste good?" She was a little weird, why did she suddenly refuse to look at him, frowned slightly, and asked.
"Nope! No! Delicious! It's delicious! Su Miao replied in a loud voice, shaking her head into a rattle, because she began to feel embarrassed, and felt more and more embarrassed, she still didn't look at him when she answered, but turned her head to look at Su Chan, who was drinking barley tea without saying a word, and said with a smile. Chan'er, this mutton is delicious, you can eat it too! ”
"It's for you to eat. I don't want to be cheeky and naked. Su Chan said flatly.
For some reason, as soon as Su Chan's words fell, Su Miao's ears suddenly became hot, and what was worse was that the heat began to spread rapidly, and soon spread out on her cheeks, and she could see it clearly from a condescending angle of aftertaste. The bright red color rushed into his eyes coldly, and his heart suddenly moved, and he felt embarrassed inexplicably, and subconsciously looked away from her face. Don't overdo it.
The other tables were lively, but the main table was eerily quiet, and everyone blinked at Su Miaohe and Aftertaste. Wang Bao whispered to his daughter-in-law:
"It's so obvious!"
"It's so obvious!" Sister-in-law Wang nodded, squinted with a smile, and sighed lightly, "Young girl." That's it! ”
"The little big sister has a strange face." Kuroko said suspiciously.
"What's weird? That's moving! Move! Man Fang glanced at him. I was a little annoyed by being interrupted.
"Touched by what?" Kuroko became more and more puzzled.
Man Fang stared at him gloomily, this kind of pig's head who can't understand anything and doesn't bother to think about it, should she change her love?
Kuroko was stared at by her and shivered down her spine, inexplicably.
"By the way, Chan'er, today is our birthday, you helped organize the birthday party, I will also prepare a birthday gift for you!" Su Miao clapped her hand and said with a smile.
Su Chan glanced at her. With a blank face, he said, "No, I just know that you definitely don't remember your birthday." So Zhang Luo makes you lively. ”
Su Miao was slightly stunned, looking at her calm side face, her expression of being careless about everything, paused, smiled, Huo Di stood up, and said while walking towards the kitchen:
"Wait! The second sister will make delicious food for you! ”
"No, use, it's ......" Su Chan's eyes widened in surprise, and before she finished speaking, Su Miao had already walked away.
Standing in the kitchen, Su Miao took out a small pot and put it on the fire, poured in the finely ground sugar and heated, and after the sugar changed color, he turned it up with a wooden spatula and stirred until it was all discolored. Continue to heat until the caramel bubbles up and the bubbles become smaller, immediately pour warm water along the edge of the pan and place on the heat to reheat. Wait until the caramel melts before cooking, and set aside when it is thick and delicate and brightly colored. Crack the eggs by hand and beat them lightly in a gentle and powerful way in one direction, trying to avoid too many bubbles. Pour the green tea into the lightest form of the egg mixture, stir it evenly each time, and then filter the mixed green tea egg wash with fine gauze several times, the more times you filter, the more delicate and smooth the finished product. Take a porcelain cup that is generally thick at the top and bottom, pour the caramel water into it, and then pour the green tea egg wash on top until it is 8 minutes full. After the oven is heated, put the porcelain cup in the oven and bake it to the temperature of the stone wall on the bottom layer of the oven before taking it out. A cup of egg pudding with the freshness of green tea and the mellow aroma of caramel is delicate and silky, soft and elastic, and the rich sweet taste and intoxicating smooth taste in the mouth seem to melt the whole heart, and it becomes unstoppable.
"This egg custard is delicious!" Su Chan's eyes widened, and she muttered in a surprised tone, she rarely appreciated eating, and it was really heartwarming to be able to say it so frankly.
Su Miao smiled, although it was a pudding...... But it's about the same as egg custard!
Ning Le stared at the baked pudding in Su Chan's hand without blinking, he loved sweets the most, and the rich but natural sweetness that emanated from the baked pudding that he had never tasted made him greedy, hesitated for a long time, didn't hold back, and asked Su Miaodao:
"You only made one?"
"There are too few materials, and today is Chan'er's birthday."
Ning Le was disappointed for a while, staring at Su Chan's pudding. Seeing this, Su Chan directly picked up the pudding and turned around to prevent him from seeing it.
Ning Le was furious, twisted his head, and snorted from his nose:
"Stingy!"
Su Chan ignored him.
The most at the birthday banquet were also drunkards, Ah Jiu was staggering, and the birthmark on his face became more and more red and shiny because of too much drinking, and he staggered to Su Miao while holding the wine jar, and suddenly grabbed her hand, and cried with tears in his nose:
"Little sister, although we haven't been together for a few years, I feel like I've lived with you all my life, and you're suddenly leaving, my heart! My heart! ”
"Although I went to Fengzhou, it's not that I can't see you, you come to Fengzhou to play when you're free, I'll entertain you!" Su Miao looked at him and cried profusely, laughed helplessly, and said.
"If you're gone, I won't be able to eat stew every day. How can I live then! He didn't hear her clearly, and began to cry bitterly.
"......" The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, it turned out that he was reluctant to stew rice.
"Lao Jiu, you poured the yellow soup into the corpse. Don't fucking embarrass Lao Tzu! It was Wang Leopard who was so embarrassed by the disgrace of his subordinates, and he jumped up and scolded loudly.
However, none of the people who had already drunk too much ignored him, and more Qinglong Gang people rushed over, took Su Miao's hand and said vaguely sadly:
"Little sister, we are really reluctant to leave!"
"Little sister, you are a good person and a real man. No matter how far you go, we'll always be buddies! ”
"Little sister, come. Let's not get drunk today, let's do it! ”
Too popular and easy to indigestion, Su Miao was surrounded in a circle, and was driven to the shelves without getting drunk and returning. In addition to laughing, I can only keep drying.
Zhao Long walked to Su Chan's side with a wine bowl. He stumbled and said: "Chan, Sister Chan, you, immediately, want, you are leaving, let, let's do it, do it, ...... it."
Before he finished speaking, Su Chan looked at him coldly.
Well, even if she didn't speak, he understood that the look meant "roll".
The last chance was gone, a heart was broken, and he returned to the corner dejectedly. Nest, if you don't get drunk, you won't return.
Too much wine was poured in. Su Miao's heart suddenly bumped up, top-heavy, and she would definitely get drunk if she drank it again, but there were still a lot of toasters left in the line, so she slipped away on the excuse of going to the thatched house, and sat on the bench in the back alley with her head hanging to blow the wind and sober up.
Tonight is a full moon, clear and silvery, and the night is beautiful.
A cup of black plum soup was handed to her, Su Miao was slightly stunned, and looked up along the cup, with white and slender hands and a handsome face.
After a pause, she took the plum soup and raised her neck to drink half a cup in one go.
"You've drunk too much." Aftertaste sat beside her and said in a deep voice.
Su Miao looked up at the sky and smiled slightly: "Everyone is reluctant, and I'm a little reluctant." ”
Aftertaste sat upright, was silent for a long time, smiled lightly meaninglessly, and said lightly:
"Are you considered 'fraternity', no matter who you are, you can treat them equally, treat them with a gentle heart without any difference, warm them with a warm smile, it seems to be kind, but in fact it is ruthless."
Su Miao looked at the starry sky for a long time, suddenly giggled, shrugged her shoulders, she lowered her head, and said with a smile:
"To put it mildly, 'fraternity'? Am I going to start 'the light of the Buddha shines brightly and transcends all sentient beings'? ”
After a pause, she looked up at his face, bent her apricot eyes at him, and smiled:
"But maybe I'm really the kind of 'finding my own sense of existence in the process of being kind to others', I like to see people smile at me, no matter what kind of person they are, I like to see laughter."
Strange remarks that I had never heard of, I was slightly stunned in the aftertaste, and quietly looked at her smile that was brighter than the starry sky overhead, and after a while, I leaned back against the wall again, lowered my head and whispered:
"Even so, the person who treats him differently should at least occasionally discriminate."
"To whom?" She asked.
"Who knows." The lazy tone seems to be a hasty answer.
Su Miao was silent for a long time, turned her head to look at his face, and said with a smile: "The dishes you cooked have become delicious, no longer as empty and boring as before, today's dishes are the best among the dishes you have cooked for so long, and now you have no problem." ”
"The dish is a mirror that reflects the heart of the cook, and the taster is the person who looks at the mirror, do you want to say that?" He asked lightly.
"Huh? Well. She was slightly stunned and nodded.
"And what do you see in this mirror?" Under the moonlight, he looked at her blankly and asked softly.
Her heart trembled, I don't know if it was because of her eyes or because of her words, her eyes were slightly wide, the smile on the corner of her lips was slightly stiff, and the intense feeling of discomfort surged in her chest, and after a pause, she subconsciously wanted to turn her face away.
He grabbed her chin and told her to keep looking at him.
Su Miao trembled, as if she shivered because of the cold, or shivered because of the blazing heat, or because of the sudden cold and hot and cold?
He looked at her face, suddenly smiled lightly, and asked in a quiet voice, "What do you see?" ”
She looked at him a little stunned, and for a long time, she smiled incredulously and asked, "Are you kidding?" ”
When he heard this, he laughed, and the smile that bloomed on his vermilion lips seemed to be dyed a little enchanting under the hazy moonlight.
Her heart felt as if it had been pounded hard, and a series of fierce buzzing sounded.
He kissed it, his soft lips slightly hot and tingling.
The whole person was boiling hot, and she became confused.
Twenty seconds later, she slowly reached out and stroked the back of his neck.
He must have felt terrible, she thought in a daze, because she had drunk too much wine, and the plum soup.
Thinking about it, she was a little annoyed...... (To be continued......)
