Chapter 99: I didn't expect it
The moon splashes the galaxy, and the blue sky is like ink.
Li Gengxin stood in the kitchen, looking down at the ingredients he had found in front of him, and somehow suddenly panicked in his heart. Li Gengxin, who shook his head, turned his head and glanced at his deep Nuo Nuo, and asked with a smile, "Why hasn't your little brother Zhi come back yet?" β
Nuno also looked out the window with some confusion at this time.
Directly outside the window is the main house of the courtyard. The room was as bright as day, and there was no movement or movement in it. It does seem a little creepy under this lonely night sky.
Nono, who laughed dryly, said, "Maybe...... Maybe, maybe my sister-in-law is asking Brother Xiaozhi to kneel on instant noodles, right? Hahaha...... Why don't you sprinkle it first? β
The unique Tianfu Sichuan sound of the Sichuan girl makes people feel comfortable and pleasant when they listen to it. It also seems to have calmed Li Gengxin's emotions on the side.
"Well, white wine isn't going to be used right away anyway. Looks like I'm going to have to get ready first. After speaking, Li Gengxin sorted out the ingredients he had found by category.
Mussels have been added to the water with a little salt. Mussels are naturally treated in this way to make them spit out the fine sand in the flesh.
Pour some of the prepared cream into a bowl and set aside, place the ground black pepper on a plate, and rinse the celery, shallots, saffron and garlic in a basin of water for the last time.
As for the bay slices and parsley, as well as eggs and lemons, Li Gengxin placed them next to the cutting board in separate categories.
"By the way, butter will help me get it out too!" Li Gengxin turned around and greeted the head chef behind him.
"Okay!" The head chef hurriedly ran over and gave Li Gengxin a hand.
Looking back at the kitchen door for the last time, Li Gengxin saw that there was no trace of Ash outside the door at all, and shook his head helplessly. I complained in my heart: Didn't you just ask you to find me a bottle of white wine? Are you going to the winery?
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and Li Gengxin lowered his head and fiddled with the mussels soaked in salt water.
Tumble a few times. Li Gengxin threw some mussels that had been opened into the trash. After all, this mussel is not the same as ordinary shellfish. Many of the shellfish of the river fresh seafood can only be said to be fresh. Mussels, on the other hand, are the opposite. Because the mussels that have their mouths opened are dead!
Although mussels are salty and warm. Non-toxic, into the liver, kidney meridian.
It can tonify the kidney, regulate the liver and nourish the blood, eliminate gall tumors, regulate menstrual blood, and lower blood pressure. It has a good effect on fatigue, dizziness, night sweats, impotence, low back pain, bleeding, leakage, lower belt, gall, hernia and other diseases.
However, if it is a dead mussel, it will not say that it does not have the above effect, but it will make people eat bad stomachs.
Standing in front of the cutting board, Li Gengxin put aside the peeled and diced shallots he had just prepared, and then said to the chef who was leisurely beside him: "Can you help me remove the tendons and peel the celery and cut it into fingernail-sized particles?" β
It was an order, but Li Gengxin didn't point a finger. This made the head chef, who was already willing to do things, feel much more comfortable.
Just now I found two chicken thighs in the kitchen, and Li Gengxin made the pot on the fire. Boil a pot of water.
At this time, the water is close to the boiling point, and huge bubbles are churning on the water surface at this time.
The smashed chicken thighs were thrown into the pot, and Li Gengxin found a green onion and a piece of turmeric. And threw all of these things in. After a short period of effort, the water turns into a slightly richer consommΓ©.
Finally, the parsley was also chopped into minced pieces by Li Gengxin. Li Gengxin turned his head and glanced out the door a few times, and saw that Xiao Zhi hadn't come back yet. I finally let go of the ingredients in my hand.
By now, all the ingredients you need to prepare are ready. But if you don't have white wine, you can't do the rest of the work.
Walk to the door. The probe probed his brain and glanced outside a few times, and there was no one in the slightly dark courtyard who was empty at this time. It's even quiet and a little weird.
Li Gengxin turned around and muttered to the girl behind him, "Sister, why don't you help me ask?" What's going on...... Why hasn't your brother Zhi come for so long? β
Nono also looked left and right with a strange expression. Then he sighed and walked to the door and said, "Cheng! Then I'll go to the main house and have a look. Why hasn't Brother Wisdom come out for so long? β
Li Gengxin nodded, turned sideways and wanted Nuo Nuo to go out, when he suddenly saw a bright light sprinkled into the courtyard.
It turned out that Ash tiptoed open the door gently. As if holding a cannonball in his hand, he walked out of the room with a white wine in his arms.
Li Gengxin and Nuo Nuo beside him subconsciously glanced at each other. I saw that Ash had hurried to the kitchen door.
"Brother Ash, are you alright? How do you take so long to find a bottle of white wine? Nuno muttered to Ash with a slight dissatisfaction in his words.
"Ah...... Hey, this ...... Ay! A hint of panic flashed in Ash's expression. Soon returned to a calm expression, but Ash seemed to be ashamed to speak to everyone as if there was something unspeakable.
Li Gengxin glanced at Xiao Zhi and looked at the main room behind him. Hehe smiled, and just as he was about to speak, Ash threw a look at himself.
It seems that this look should be understood by a man. As if, this look was telling Li Gengxin: "If you have a girlfriend, you will understand!" β
Li Gengxin smiled bitterly at Xiao Zhi twice, took the white wine he handed to him and said, "Just now Nuo Nuo said that you were kneeling on instant noodles!" Hahaha......"
Nuo Nuo, who was standing on the side, turned red, sighed a little helplessly and said, "Li Gengxin, how can you betray me!" β
Xiao Zhi narrowed slightly in the corner of his eyes next to him, and then exploded and grinned at the few people in front of him: "Alas, how can I kneel on instant noodles!" I just knelt down for a while and made sure that the TV didn't change. Hey hey ......"
The originally somewhat depressing atmosphere dispelled Ash with a word.
Li Gengxin shook his head slightly, and after grinning, he turned around and walked to the stove with white wine in his arms.
After the pot was on the stove, Li Gengxin directly grabbed a handful of the shallot grains he had just cut and threw them into the pot, and then used the corkscrew to plug the oak of the white wine.
While pouring the white wine into the pot. Put all the mussels that had just been soaked in a pot with salted water into the pot.
After letting the water submerge the mussels, he covered the pot and waited quietly.
It didn't take long. I saw that the mussels all opened their mouths. Mussels trembled slightly in the boiling water in the pot.
A mist of water came out of the edge of the pot.
Li Gengxin waited silently for a moment, feeling that it seemed to be almost the same. Then the mussels were fished out with a fence.
Pick up the pot and drain the soup a few times with a skewer. Put it in a basin and prepare it to be used later.
The mussels that were fished out were washed with cold water, Li Gengxin picked up a mussel and broke it hard, only to see that the orange-red mussel meat inside was steaming slightly, and the small appearance of the meat made people can't help but want to send it to their mouths.
At this time, the head chef of Dejuquan asked on the side, "Master Li, do you need me to help you?" β
Li Gengxin then pushed these mussels down the head chef's hand, turned around and grinned: "I just wanted to trouble you, so you came over and took the initiative to ask for help." Thanks for ......."
"Where's the word!" The head chef said politely to Li Gengxin.
After the pot was placed on the stove again, Li Gengxin took the butter that the chef had prepared for himself just now.
A small stainless steel silver spoon scooped about fifty grams of butter and put it in the pan.
After Li Gengxin turned on the stove, he immediately began to adjust the temperature of the stove.
The low heat slowly dissolves and softens the butter in the pan. Li Gengxin lowered his head and inhaled gently, smelling the tempting aroma of butter. Turn around and pour the prepared garlic directly into the pot.
After stir-frying for more than a minute, put the remaining shallots and celery into the pot and stir-fry together.
After rectifying for a while, Li Gengxin turned around and poured all the white wine soup that had been prepared just now into the pot. Soon the wine juice in the pot is boiled. And Li Gengxin had already brought over the chicken soup that had been cooking on the stove just now.
The chicken was fished out and all the soup was poured into the pot. Li Gengxin reached out and grabbed the bay leaf and put it into the pot, and poured in the salt and black pepper.
After a few gentle stirring of the hand spoon, Li Gengxin scooped up a mouthful of the soup and took a sip gently.
"Hmm......" Li Gengxin, who exhaled lightly, suddenly found that several people next to him were looking at him with straight eyes, as if asking, "Is it delicious?" β
"It tastes good!" After Li Gengxin muttered to himself, he turned around and stirred the milk meat and egg yolk on the side. To stir well. Li Gengxin also scooped a spoonful of soup from the pot and added it halfway. It's nothing more than wanting to stir more evenly.
Nono and the head chef looked at the golden brown soup that Li Gengxin had stirred into a golden brown and seemed to feel that it was already very even. However, Li Gengxin still patiently stirred for a while, and then slowly poured the golden soup into the soup pot. Of course, Lee updated when it was time to pour. The hand spoon was stirring in the soup pot all the time.
Nuo Nuo whispered to the chef and asked, "What is Master Li doing?" Why do you want to do that! It seems to be troublesome......"
The head chef couldn't answer for a while, and turned his head to look at Nono's dazed and coquettish face. I suddenly felt so embarrassed......
Li Gengxin was busy in his hands. But he said with a smile: "This is naturally done to warm the egg yolk and cream to a certain extent." To prevent the egg yolk from being scalded directly by the boiling water into egg drops. How ugly it would be if it were made like that! β
"Oh...... I see! Nono suddenly realized that even the head chef raised his eyebrows. Enlightened.
After boiling to a certain extent, Li Gengxin brought the yellow lemon he had just cut to the side of the pot. Then he found a knife and gently scraped the flesh of the lemon into the soup pot.
The unique citric acid overflowed, so that everyone in the kitchen subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of **** that suddenly gushed out from the tip of the tongue.
In this way, the soup is slowly heated over low heat until it is thick and close to the boiling point. Li Gengxin suddenly grabbed a handful of chopped parsley, as well as garlic and butter, and lowered it into the soup pot.
"Come, Nono to taste it." Li Gengxin turned around and greeted Nuno who got up.
"Huh? I...... Do I taste it? That one...... No, no, no. I'm not a chef, I taste ......" Nuo Nuo's face was a little red, and he hurriedly shook his hand and pushed it away.
"Haha, you're a girl too! How about you help your sister-in-law taste the taste, my taste may not be the same as yours. After Li Gengxin finished speaking, he scooped a mouthful of soup with his hand spoon and handed it to Nuonuo.
