Chapter 335: Simmering soup in a clay pot

Su Chan, Lin Yan and the others found their seats, and as soon as they sat down, a slender shadow came from behind, passed through the crowd, and sat down next to Su Chan.

Su Chan turned her head to look at her, and saw that her face was white and her eyes were black, and she looked like she had just woken up from a hangover, and subconsciously glanced at the judges' seat, but she didn't see Liang Chang's figure, paused, and asked Su Xian suspiciously:

"Where did you go last night? Why are you drunk again? ”

"Don't mention it!" Su Xian held her head and waved her hand, with an extremely uncomfortable expression, "I really didn't expect that Liang Chang was such a sinister and cunning person, I thought he couldn't drink much last time, how do you know that he was pretending, he drank down last night after only drinking with him for half a night, and now he still has a headache and is uncomfortable!" ”

"Well deserved!" Su Chan pursed her lips, "King Wen came down from the battlefield, which of those people in the barracks didn't drink the burning knife as water, just look at my master, you know that it is a wine tank, you still dare to drink with them, you don't want to die?!" ”

"I saw that he was weak, and I thought he could do it, but I didn't expect that man's heart was blacker than ink, and he had more intestines than anyone else, so he didn't knock him down, but he knocked me down!" Su Xian was annoyed and had a headache, and complained angrily.

"Eldest sister, eldest sister," Chunniang was obviously infected by her profession and gossiped, her favorite thing to hear was such a story, patted Su Xian's shoulder in the back, and asked in a stack, "How were you last night?" Sister, have your wish come true? ”

Su Xian broke away from the "hideousness" of the hangover and glared at her coldly. The pure lady stared at the cool breeze all over her body, and then gritted her teeth and blackened her face, and replied word by word:

"If it does, will I still need it back? The black-hearted woman left the old lady in the inn and didn't care, and he didn't even pay the room fee, and I can't say anything if a prince is like this! ”

Chunniang blinked her eyes twice, she felt very funny, and she was happy, but because the eldest sister's face was too ugly, she hurriedly held back her laughter. The expression is scornful.

"You should have made enough trouble, King Wen won't buy your account at all, you continue to be so entangled. Sooner or later, one day he will treat you like a clown who jumps off the beam and is annoyed to look at. Su Chan frowned, looked down on her endless entanglement, and said disdainfully.

"What do you know about an old aunt who hasn't even married at an age, a good man is afraid of women. Women chase men into yarns. Do you understand? Su Xian narrowed her eyes, looked at her contemptuously, pursed her lips and said, "If you don't even chase after someone like you, when do you say you will get married?" If you don't go on a blind date, you won't take the family affair when you are arranged, and you don't want to take the initiative to chase the man you like, I said Su Chan. Is it possible for you to make me an aunt in your life? ”

"Long-winded! You care about me! Su Chan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and she replied firmly.

Su Xian pursed her lips. saw Lin Yan poking her head out of the back seat and asked suspiciously:

"Xian Xian, you probably don't plan to marry His Royal Highness King Wen, no, Xian Xian, I remember that the Seventh Prince also liked a folk woman before, and he had to marry that woman as his wife, but that woman was killed by the emperor because she charmed the prince!"

"Why?" Chunniang was taken aback, and asked in surprise with wide eyes.

"Why? Because of the charm of the prince. This kind of extremely strange reason for execution in the eyes of the people is commonplace in Lin Yan's eyes, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

"But, isn't it, isn't it that the Seventh Prince wants to marry that woman?"

"yes." Lin Yan nodded, "But the emperor can't dispose of the Seventh Prince, he can only dispose of the woman that the Seventh Prince wants to marry, the Seventh Prince also committed suicide because of this matter, until now, several years later, he is still leading the practice in the palace, because the emperor does not allow him to become a monk." ”

Chunniang was stunned, and her stunned expression lasted on her face for a long time before she spit out a sentence dryly:

"Good boy, the royal family is so scary!" Immediately afterwards, she grabbed Su Xian's hand and said nervously, "Eldest sister, don't pester His Royal Highness King Wen anymore, in case you are also given a white silk by the emperor, then you will have to die if you don't want to die, how terrible!" You still want to harm others, you see so many beautiful men in Suzhou City, and we have good guys in Fengzhou, and it is better for you to harm them than to harm His Royal Highness King Wen, at least there is no danger to life! ”

She said it with emotion, and Su Chan and Lin Yan on the side collectively twitched their eyebrows, thinking that this girl was really a good girl with solid eyes.

Su Xian glanced at Chunniang, snorted, and said disapprerovingly: "I'm not going to be a princess, you're thinking too much." Looking at the stage, seeing that Su Miao and Tong Ran were ready, he asked, "Has her medicine been changed?" ”

"Changed." Su Chan replied.

"Eldest sister, that woman was very annoying just now, and when Sister Miao first came, she choked Sister Miao with words and made Sister Miao ugly!" Chunniang pointed to Shen Erniang, who was sitting on the special judge's seat, and said to Su Xian hatefully.

Su Xian was slightly stunned, looked at Shen Erniang, who was still staring at Su Miao in a daze, and brushed her face down:

"Stupid, turn around and tilt her mouth!"

"Okay!" Su Chan, who was clasping her arms in both hands, nodded twice like a machine.

Lin Yan and Chunniang looked at the two of them, the corners of their mouths twitched fiercely, although their appearances were completely different and their temperaments were completely opposite, but at this moment they found that these two people were really sisters!

"By the way, my dad is here, upstairs." Su Chan, who took out the fresh meat cake and was about to eat it, suddenly remembered, raised her chin to the small building in front of her, and said.

Su Xian glanced at the small building and asked, "His mother is here too?" ”

"I don't know." Su Chan shook her head and gulped down the fresh meat pancakes.

On the stage, the two sides are ready, although Tong Ran's three assistants have a slight injury on their faces, they have no problem with their hands, Su Miao's right hand is injured, and the aftertaste is intact, but two people against four people, no matter how you look at them, they are in a weak position.

Su Miao waved her hand wrapped in gauze, this hand was wrapped even five fingers, and one of her arms turned into a snow-white cylindrical shape, like a mallet, which looked very funny.

Aftertaste frowned when he saw this. Confirmed softly, "Do you really want to continue playing?" Even the withdrawal is nothing. ”

"Why do you want to quit? It's just a soup, and there is less delicate work when cooking the soup, but I can still do it. Su Miao gestured with a slight smugness to her "big hand" that was tied into a zongzi. Said with a smile, because the burn medicine is very effective, the wound is no longer painful today, and she suddenly felt that the shape of her hand was very interesting, so she waved it more happily.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but soften my eyes and reached out to hold her hand. The bandage was re-tied more tightly to prevent it from falling off during the game.

Su Miao grinned.

On the small building on the side, Liang Jin lifted the corner of the gauze curtain and glanced down. Turning his head, he glanced at the aftertaste of sitting beside him calmly drinking tea with a displeasure:

"Damn, look, that kid's soul is about to be taken away by that girl!"

Hui Xiang glanced at him. As if to give him face, he glanced faintly downstairs. Then he picked up the teacup again and sipped it quietly.

Liang Jin glanced at her expressionless face and was speechless.

On the stage, when Tong Ran saw the intimacy between Aftertaste and Su Miao, a pair of narrow willow eyes sank.

After making a short opening remark, Master Jiang picked up the golden mallet and struck it on the golden gong, making a crisp "dang"!

The last round of the finals of the Qin'an Competition, the last round of the calamity and hardship, finally started again.

Both players seem to have a plan in mind. Without any discussion, Su Miao and Tong Ran stepped forward. Come to the ingredient table and choose the ingredients.

Tong Ran's folding fan was already inserted in his waist, he stood in front of the ingredients table with one hand on his shoulders, casually selecting the ingredients, and a pair of narrow willow eyes glanced at Su Miao who was standing opposite and bending down to pick the ingredients from time to time, until Su Miao was impatient, frowned, picked up a fat chicken in his hand, and asked without raising his head:

"Have you seen enough, am I so beautiful today that you can't take your eyes off?"

Tong Ran didn't care if he was exposed, and he wasn't embarrassed, anyway, he was looking above board, the corners of his lips hooked up a smile, and he asked with concern:

"Girl's hands are better?"

"Much better."

"The injury is so serious, you shouldn't go on stage again until you're healed." Tong Ran said with a smile, it was difficult to decipher whether his words were concerned about her or a mockery of her.

Su Miao glanced at him, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she seemed to be smiling:

"If I don't come to the stage and let you pick up a big bargain, won't you be lonely."

Tong Ran was slightly stunned, and then laughed, smiling like a spring breeze blowing willows, he nodded, and said with a smile:

"That's right, if the girl quits halfway, she will indeed feel lonely in the next place."

Su Miao smiled slightly, and was just about to pick up the small bamboo basket full of ingredients on the table, when a slender and white hand had already intervened from behind, stretched out, and lifted the beam of the bamboo basket.

Tong Ran was stunned by the person who suddenly intervened, and then his face became gloomy, as if he had ruined his mood.

Aftertaste ignored him at all, his eyes were only on Su Miao, and he asked with a warm smile:

"Picked?"

Su Miao smiled, ignored Tong Ran, pulled the sleeve of the aftertaste with her uninjured hand, and followed him to her stove with a smile.

Seeing this, Tong Ran's eyes became more and more gloomy.

On the small building on the side, Liang Jin, who saw this scene, pursed his lips and muttered:

"That little girl is quite popular, what's wrong with the kid's eyes now, she doesn't have any vision at all!"

He muttered to himself, but he didn't hear a voice next to him, and looked over suspiciously, but saw Hui Xiang quietly looking at the pair of young men and women downstairs, his eyes were as bright as water, quiet and peaceful, as if he had seen it.

On the stage, Su Miaohe and Aftertaste have already begun to process the ingredients.

Because Su Miao's right hand can't move, cleaning the ingredients and processing the ingredients are all made with aftertaste, and when cutting vegetables, it is also cut with aftertaste, Su Miao didn't do it herself, because this last soup was not originally a soup that pays attention to knife skills.

It sounds very simple, and it looks very homely, but the cooking method is also relatively ordinary, and almost every household will make crockpot soup.

It's just that Su Miao's crockpot simmering soup is completely different from the crockpot simmering soup that ordinary people see, this soup uses many precious Chinese medicinal materials, adding Chinese medicine to the soup is not a process that will affect the taste, on the contrary, if these medicinal materials are selected properly, it can not only neutralize the oil and greasy in the chicken soup, but also the taste of the herbs can also play the role of spices to a certain extent, and the taste of the chicken soup will become more mellow and luscious with the unique taste of Chinese herbal medicines.

Add an appropriate amount of oil to the wok, burn the ginger slices when it is hot, pour in the local chicken cut into small pieces, stir-fry, then put the chicken into the crockpot, and then wash all the spices such as yellow flower mushrooms, and when simmering the chicken soup, you should also add red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, gastrodia, and ginseng. With natural mountain spring water as raw material, all the materials for simmering soup are placed in a special large clay pot, sealed tightly, and then heated on six sides with high-quality hard charcoal constant temperature traditional style, simmered for three hours, and then stuffed into the ash furnace that has not been extinguished, sealed with soil, leaving only one hole for aeration, and then simmered for two or three hours.

The reason why the crockpot is chosen, or the wonder of the crockpot, is mainly due to the yin and yang nature of the clay pottery, under the long-term simmering, the umami of the raw materials and the nutrients are fully dissolved in the soup, and the soup fully absorbs the pharmacological components of Chinese herbal medicines.

As the saying goes, it's better to eat meat than to drink soup, which means that in the process of making soup, all the essence of the meat will be dissolved in the soup, and after the sublimation of spring water and the heating of fragrant charcoal, it will become the supreme delicacy of the true and pure. It can be said that this kind of soup cooked by traditional cooking methods is a classic dish in the traditional Chinese diet that not only pursues delicious enjoyment but also pays attention to dietary health, taking into account both aspects.

The difficulty is to grasp the heat, whether the crockpot is evenly heated, whether the charcoal is burned sufficiently, whether the spices are greasy, whether the soup is fully cooked, and every step affects the final taste of the soup.

After the simmering of this clay pot soup is finished, the sky has already darkened, the summer breeze is blowing, and the jade rabbit is rising in the east.

There was a faint, pleasant, thick, mellow fragrance slowly wafting out of the ash oven and wafting into the noses of the people present, so that the people present did not feel bored because of waiting too long, but one by one, they were full of energy, just smelling the fragrance and had a strong interest and expectation in this soup.

When the lid of the crockpot is lifted, it seems that a golden-white light overflows from the crockpot dazzlingly, and the golden light is shining, dazzling, as if illuminating half of the sky!

The crockpot is fragrant and boiling, the four directions are elegant, and the cans are simmered, and the world is wonderful. (To be continued.) )
