Chapter Eighty-Four: What a Big Guest
After the busy work in the morning, Chen Chunhua went to Fengxiang Restaurant with a pound of pork ribs and two pounds of glutinous rice. "Girl, why are you free to come over today?"
Chen Chunhua smiled and raised the things in her hand and said. "I heard from my aunt that the old cook hasn't been able to do well yet, so I thought I'd come over and see if there was anyone I could help."
Hearing this, he put down the abacus in his hand, walked forward, and said. "Alas, don't say it, this old chef and Lao Cai are different from each other, naturally some of them will not be, I thought about this at the beginning and invited the two, and now the lack of one is not a trouble!"
"Shopkeeper, I just want to make a dish today to see if I can top it for a few days, but the old chef has let people go to see it, can I go down the kang?"
"I let the guy go to see it yesterday, but he can get off the kang, but he shouted that his brain was cold for a while, and then he invited Lang Zhong and prescribed a few pairs of medicines, saying that it would be almost enough to rest for a few days!"
"That's it, I can't help much, just take advantage of the fact that the guests haven't entered the door to eat at this time, I'll go to the kitchen and talk to Lao Cai!"
"Cheng, go ahead, Lao Cai Xian'er is also idle!"
Chen Chunhua entered the kitchen, greeted Lao Cai and his aunt, and said. "Auntie, help me make a fire and boil some boiling water!" As he spoke, he put the ribs on the cutting board, and then poured the soaked glutinous rice into the wooden basin and passed the water.
Lao Cai looked at what Chen Chunhua brought and said. "Chunhua, what kind of dish is this?"
Chen Chunhua looked at Lao Cai and said. "I'm going to make steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice today!" Yes, this steamed pork ribs with sticky rice is one of her favorite dishes and she never gets tired of eating them.
"Glutinous rice ribs?" Lao Cai and his aunt heard this and said. "Can this glutinous rice still be cooked?"
Chen Chunhua smiled, took a few green onions and washed them quickly, put them on the board and cut them, and said. "It's not just glutinous rice that can be made, it's rice, white flour, potatoes, melons, and corn!" These are home-cooked ingredients that can be used to make a variety of things.
Lao Cai heard this and took a closer look on the side. Chen Chunhua also rarely comes to the restaurant, from the last time I taught several ways to cook, the business of this restaurant immediately improved, just relying on the few cooking methods she taught before is naturally not enough, the old chef This is an old chef for more than 20 years, making a good dish, coming to eat on weekdays, there are also many dishes specially ordered by him.
The method of glutinous rice pork ribs is very simple, after the water boils, pour the chopped pork ribs into it to drop the blood, after making it, the pork ribs are washed once and put into the big sea bowl, add the ingredients and mix evenly.
After making the ribs, Chen Chunhua asked Lao Cai to find a wooden steamed pork to wash it, put it on the pot, and found a quickly clean gauze to lay it in the wooden steamed meat, and then put the marinated pork ribs in the glutinous rice and wrapped it around. This wrap depends on the degree of your love for glutinous rice, but generally not too much, too much will become pork ribs glutinous rice.
"Auntie, burn the fire for half an hour, and simmer on the fire for a moment after half an hour!" Chen Chunhua remembered that there was a small stone mill in the kitchen, and after looking around, she saw that it was thrown into the corner of the wall and put it at the root.
"Alas, I remember, Chunhua, the business of your shop is good, why don't you think about doing business in the county?" The aunt said and looked at Chen Chunhua and said. "I heard from the people who ate yesterday that the business in the county is easy to do now, and after a while, people will start to come to the Peach Blossom Garden to enjoy the flowers, and when the time comes, I will also make up, not to mention how much I can make, how much is money!"
When Chen Chunhua heard the three words of Peach Blossom Spring, she was very familiar with it. "Where's the Peach Blossom Spring?"
"Why, don't you know what kind of piece the Peach Blossom Garden is?" The aunt said with a look of surprise. "Isn't it the peach blossom source in the county, I have been to the peach blossom source once in previous years, and when I wait for the flower-viewing period, tsk, not to mention how lively it is!"
Chen Chunhua heard this for the first time, and nodded unconsciously. "Why is it so lively, what kind of lively day is it?"
"Hey, what a lively day, this is our county this famous place, the peach blossom source of a large number of peach trees, blooming every year, this peach blossom source has been many years, there are many people here, there are a lot of nobles, if you are lucky, maybe there will be a good relationship!"
"Then when is the day of enjoying the flowers in the Peach Blossom Spring?" After listening to what her aunt said, Chen Chunhua was unconsciously moved, if it was really like what her aunt said, she would definitely try it.
"What's the matter, my sister is going to enjoy the flowers?" The shopkeeper heard Chen Chunhua's words when he entered the kitchen, and answered. "If you don't hurry, you will pass by in seven days!"
"Okay, then it's troublesome for the shopkeeper, wait for seven days to bring us up!" Chen Chunhua washed the stone mill, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and put it in the trough and began to grind.
The shopkeeper looked at it and said. "Girl, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I want to grind some wet glutinous rice flour to make glutinous rice balls to eat, last time I saw that you had a small stone mill, so I took advantage of a whole piece!"
"Tangyuan? What are rice balls? The three shopkeepers listened to the new words, and were curious, and said. How long does this take? ”
Chen Chunhua smiled and said. "It's been a long time, after grinding the glutinous rice, it has to precipitate, and when the water is almost there, pour out the water, and then put it in a cloth bag and hang it for a while!" In fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, it can be ground into flour with dry glutinous rice, but after putting the water and it, it has to be put aside, which is almost the same, but now it is better.
Hearing this, Lao Cai was stunned, and he was completely confused. "Cheng, if I have free time in the past, I will go to you to teach you this method of making rice balls!"
"Done!" When Chen Chunhua finished grinding the glutinous rice, the glutinous rice ribs were almost steamed. "Auntie, has this little fire been burning for a while?"
"Well, it's been a while!" After listening to her aunt's words, Chen Chunhua stood up and wiped the water on her hands, and said. "It's done, the fire doesn't need to burn!" After speaking, he opened the lid of the pot, and a white mist floated with a fragrance.
Chen Chunhua blew the white mist vapor in front of her, wrapped it in a rag and brought out the wood steam, and then sprinkled it with green onions, which was both beautiful and fragrant, and Chen Chunhua couldn't help but move her index finger when she saw it.
"Shopkeeper, here comes the guest!" The guy hurriedly ran in and said excitedly. "Guest, such a big guest!"
The shopkeeper was still looking at the dishes that had just come out of the pot, and when he heard this, he slapped the guy on the head angrily, and said. "What is such a big guest, is it difficult not to grow up so tall as the door chief?"
The guy rubbed his head and said. "I'm wrong, this guest is so pompous, he still came in a sedan chair, wearing silk cloth clothes, so extravagant!"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper reluctantly looked at the dish, and hurried out of the kitchen to welcome the guests.
