Chapter 334: Fear
In that carriage were Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan.
Wen Xiuyi has long been hungry for Qiduo's hand-made dishes, but he is also quite conscious, knowing that the Dao is not only hot a few days ago, but also the busiest season in the countryside, except for often letting people send some seasonal fruits over, the deity is not embarrassed to come over to disturb, and it is not good to cause trouble to Qiduo.
Finally survived the double robbery, counting the days, the Qiduo family should be a little free, and it happened that the weather was cool today, Wen Xiuyi couldn't wait to run to the food city and pulled Xu Youxuan over.
Wen Xiuyi's proposal made Xu Youxuan also raise his hands in agreement, these days the food city has added more barbecue, but it is really enough for him to be busy, and everyone has lost several pounds.
Now that the barbecue has been launched for some time, customers can help themselves, and he is also a little idle, so he can have a chance to relax, so he will naturally not refuse.
Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan were the first to go to Qiduo's house, and when they learned that they had come to Luhuapo, the two also rushed over.
"Wow, Xiao Qi, you're really amazing now?" As soon as Xu Youxuan saw Qiduo, he smiled and joked.
"Huh? What do you mean? This headless sentence made Qiduo a little inexplicable, did he do something earth-shattering to move him?
"You're going to pinch your fingers now." Xu Youxuan continued to smile.
"Third cousin, what do you say, who will pinch the fingers of God." Qiduo didn't understand what he meant.
"Ha Lu, Xiao Qi, if you don't know how to pinch your fingers, how can you know that Lu Dao and I and Xiuyi are coming today, and we specially came to Luhuapo to catch fish, chickens and ducks." Xu Youxuan revealed the answer.
"Poof!" It turned out that this was what it meant, and Qiduo couldn't help laughing. Then he and Wen Xiuyi. "Third cousin. In fact, it's not that I'm going to pinch my fingers, it's that you and Wen Gongzi's noses are too sensitive. ”
"Xiao Qi, are you saying that we are dogs, the dog's nose is the most sensitive, this is not good." Xu Youxuan asked a little aggrieved.
"Hehe, this is said by yourself, third cousin, and it has nothing to do with me." Seven winks mischievously.
Wen Xiuyi walked over and patted Xu Youxuan's shoulder. laughed and scolded, "You really dig a pit and jump by yourself, but you can't complain about Xiao Qi." ”
Huang Lianrong's wonderful eyes turned on Wen Xiuyi, and secretly admired, there was such a stunning man in the world, I thought that Brother Shen Nan was the most handsome, but I didn't expect that there would be even better.
Compared with Wen Xiuyi's appearance, she was more curious about the relationship between him and Qiduo.
She is not a fool, she can see that Wen Xiuyi's eyes when she looks at Qiduo are not pure, they contain strong affection.
Huang Lianrong sneered in her heart. This country girl is really capable, not only can she make Brother Shen Nan look at her differently. The stunning beautiful boy in front of him was also attracted to her, which is really amazing.
She subconsciously looked at Shen Nan again, and she didn't know if he could see the difference between Wen Xiuyi and Qiduo.
Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled slightly, it doesn't matter if Brother Shen Nan doesn't know the way, I can tell him!
When the group returned to Qiduo's house, the quiet and warm small courtyard suddenly became lively.
Shen Nan seemed to have become half of the master, helping Tan Dejin entertain Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan, and Huang Lianrong couldn't be lazy.
Xu and the seven three sisters were busy in the kitchen, and Tan Guihua was also helping.
Tan Guihua was originally embroidering flowers at Qihua's house, but when she saw that there were guests in their house, she offered to come to the kitchen to help.
Seeing her take the initiative like this, Xu was also very pleased, and he would not refuse.
Since being trained by the Zhao family last time, Tan Guihua has changed a lot, her temperament is a lot calmer, and her words and actions are much more reliable. In particular, the bad problem of delicious food has also been changed, although I am also hungry for some fresh food, but I am much more reserved and polite.
Xu believes that as long as time passes, Tan Guihua will be reborn.
This time, Qiduo is not ready to make a whole fish feast, and the fresh grass carp is ready to make three main dishes, fire-grilled whole fish, fish fillet and fish balls.
The fire-grilled whole fish is mainly spicy and has a heavier taste, while the fish fillets and fish balls are mainly light, firstly, it is early autumn, so it is more comfortable to eat light, and secondly, the light method can also eat the original taste of the fish.
Seven Duo wanted to see how the fish in her own pond tasted different from the fish in other ponds.
The method of chicken and duck is similar, there are heavy flavor of large plate chicken, fragrant duck, and fragrant and refreshing white chopped chicken and white chopped duck.
Especially the white chopped chicken and white chopped duck, Qiduo is just slightly marinated with some pickles, and then cooked in a pot, without adding any seasonings, and then with a plate of her secret sauce, dip and eat.
The other dishes are relatively simple, but the more troublesome is the fish balls.
To make fish balls, the fish is slaughtered and cleaned, and two pieces of fish meat are sliced on the lower abdomen.
After removing the bones from the slices, instead of chopping the fish with a knife and chopping it into pieces, the whole piece of fish is scraped with a knife to form a fluffy shape.
Scraping fish minced fish is time-consuming and laborious, and from time to time you have to pick out the bones that show the surface of the meat.
When all the minced fish is scraped off, add salt and a certain percentage of water and stir vigorously in one direction until the delicate flesh becomes almost transparent.
After the last bath, prepare a basin of cold water, wash your hands, squeeze out the round fish balls from the tiger's mouth, and put them into the cold water with a spoon.
Whether the fish balls are tender or not depends on whether the fresh fish balls float on the surface of the water after entering the water.
If the answer is yes, then the fish balls have been successfully made, otherwise the raw fish balls will turn into a paste when they enter the water.
Qiduo looked at the crystal clear white jade-like fish balls in the basin, and they were very ripe.
This is a tricky job, not everyone can do it, I think at the beginning, she practiced for a lot of time, in order to make the fish balls smooth and round, floating in the water.
There are these delicious foods at noon, so it is natural to call the Shen family and the old man Tan and his wife, and by the way, Tan Deyou and Tan Decai are also called.
Patriarch Tan sent the fish over, so he didn't call people over for the time being.
Because of the large number of people, two tables were set up in the courtyard, one for men and one for women.
Fortunately, Tan Dejin had already made a detachable round table table according to Qiduo's requirements, otherwise, these people would not be able to sit at two tables today.
For the table that can be rotated by the Qiduo family, everyone is surprised again.
Wen Xiuyi looked at the seven.
She looked away weakly, deliberately pretending not to see.
First of all, the aroma of the fragrant fire-grilled whole fish, still sizzling, then tomato and fish fillet, red and white, plus a little green chives, the color and flavor are complete, fish balls and tender green vegetables made into soup, white porcelain soup bowl, fish balls like pearls inlaid in green jade.
There is also a chopped pepper fish head, which was added temporarily by seven later, because there were a few fish heads placed there, so they simply made chopped peppers, Zheng Wanru loves spicy food.
After the fish, the chicken and duck are on the table, followed by some vegetables and fruits in the field, there are cucumbers, pumpkin cups, ham and winter melons, dried green beans, tiger skin green peppers, minced eggplant and other seasonal fresh, this season, the vegetable varieties in the field are particularly rich.
Looking at the table full of dishes, everyone inevitably had to say some kind words.
Qiduo smiled and said, "Grandparents, uncles and aunts, Miss Huang, Wen Gongzi, third cousin, as well as uncles and brothers, please come over today, it's not a simple meal, I want to ask you to help." ”
"What's busy, Qiduo, just say, as long as we can do it, a definition is not to be dismissed." Shen Bin answered quickly.
His words caused everyone to laugh, but they all nodded in approval, and they all looked at Qiduo with curious eyes, I don't know what she needs to help her.
But looking at her smiling appearance, knowing that it is not embarrassing.
Huang Lianrong was a little distracted, this girl is really amazing, such a table of dishes, let alone let me make it, just let me think about it, I'm afraid I may not be able to come up with it.
Look at everyone's attitude towards Qiduo, they are all kind and loving, all of them have sincere expressions, and no one is hypocritical.
For the first time, she didn't dare to underestimate Qiduo.
And Wen Xiuyi and Shen Nan's affectionate eyes made her heart very sour.
Of course, this sourness is aimed at Shen Nan, and has nothing to do with Wen Xiuyi.
Facing everyone's warm and concerned eyes, Qiduo's heart was also warm, and he said the purpose with a smile, "I have a small request, please help me taste the fish, chickens and ducks carefully, and see what is different from the chicken, duck and fish I usually eat." Of course, I want to listen to the truth, and I don't mean to praise me. ”
It turned out that it was just to help taste the food, and everyone laughed more happily and said yes.
Then under the leadership of Old Man Tan and Shen Huairen, everyone moved their chopsticks and tasted it seriously.
At Qiduo's suggestion, everyone eats white chopped chicken and white chopped duck first, and at this time, everyone does not eat other dishes, so it is easier to taste the real taste.
Each person sandwiched a piece of chicken or duck meat, and then dipped it in the saucer in front of him, and Sven went to taste it.
Qiduo looked at everyone a little nervously, just in the kitchen, she deliberately tasted it in advance, and chose the oldest breast meat, and found that the meat was very delicate and tender, unlike the general chicken and duck meat with some firewood, if it was a child to eat, it might not be able to chew the kind.
And the tenderness of chicken is significantly better than that of duck.
Chickens and ducks are only salted, but after entering the mouth, there is a special fresh fragrance that overflows the entire mouth, which makes the cells of the whole body excited and active.
And judging from her years of experience in cooking, this umami flavor is not a taste that can be made with condiments, and after eating, the umami flavor is still dancing on the tip of the tongue.
However, this is just her personal feeling, and she is worried about whether she is preconceived and thinks that chickens and ducks are using their abilities to improve their quality, so she psychologically thinks that their quality is relatively high.
Therefore, what she wants to hear most now is everyone's opinion.
Just as Shen Huairen put down his chopsticks and was about to express his personal opinion, Wu suddenly brought a middle-aged woman into the courtyard.
Seeing this middle-aged woman, Qiduo's body shook very inexplicably, as if she was a little afraid of him.
But she didn't know the middle-aged woman. (To be continued......)
