Chapter 133: What to Eat in Winter
"Greens? Guest, what season is it? Where can greens grow? "The young man is very curious, and someone else would ask this question? It's cold and snowy outside, what kind of food can't freeze to death? The back cellar is specially received some white siad that can see the green leaves, but this year's day is a sudden change of face, originally a warm winter with a beautiful wind, the next day on the big freeze, the little surplus grain saved in the back cellar was all destroyed, barely made two dishes, but also completely bad taste, the shopkeeper spoke, don't use it again, so as not to smash the signboard.
It's been three or four days of hard work, and the "Millennium Zhai" is only counting on meat and vegetables to last!
I have to say that Ah Yuan is still a herbivore in her bones, although eating meat seems to improve her quality of life, but it is really fatal to let her not see a little green in a meal!
Although the Bai family is not rich, but the green wild vegetables collected when the weather is warm are dried and preserved by her, and she has to grab a handful of them and soak them in water every day, and then adjust some condiments, and the family eats very comfortably, enough to survive until the spring flowers bloom!
However, it is really disappointing that such a luxurious and famous hotel does not have a little greenery.
"So, there's always garlic, right?" Ah Yuan retreated to the next best, and at a meal, he always had to see something non-meaty.
"Yes, there are many! It's fine until next summer, but it's growing some green shoots. The young man is a little embarrassed, this guest officer's requirements are always unsatisfied, and his own hotel is strange and untouchable.
Green shoots? Sister just wants this effect!
Ah Yuan was so excited that he even forgot about the pain in his legs, and instructed in a stack: "Second brother, you pick two meat dishes." Just put the steamed buns directly, what about me, just ask for a garlic fried pork slices, stir-fry heavier, hehe, I can't eat spicy now! ”
However, what is the garlic fried pork slices?
The young man is going to be confused. I've only heard that garlic cloves are seasonings, but I don't remember that they can be specially fried!
But the guest proposed, yes, go to the stove and ask the master, I can't say that I can't see a well-informed master with high skills, and I can do it!
Bai Lao Er ordered a "roast duck". Boss Bai ordered "braised pork", and he remembered the name of this dish, so he only thought that this dish was the most delicious, and his daughter-in-law had made it.
added another dish of "tofu balls" as soup, even if it was all work, the young man bowed down and exited the private room. I went straight to the stove room to report.
As a result, no master chef has ever heard of the dish "garlic fried pork slices". There are slices of meat, and there are garlic cloves, but I can't figure out how to explode.
Moreover, the taste of garlic is a bit unpleasant when eaten raw, although many people prefer the raw spicy taste, which is fried and eaten. What will happen?
No master was willing to fry this dish, so the young man frowned and went to the shopkeeper.
"Wouldn't it be okay to ask the guests to change the dishes?"
"No, I can't. The shopkeeper, the female guest officer wants to eat green dishes, and there are only those garlic cloves with green shoots on the stove! The young man's face was bitter, and a woman who was injured and limping couldn't do anything that was right for her.
The shopkeeper had to go to the private room to meet the guests by himself, and the rules of the Lu Mansion were big, and no one could offend the guests, so he could open up the source of wealth, and the business was done in all directions.
The three of them had just started to eat the first dish, the roasted duck, and they were all hungry, and when the big shopkeeper of the "Millennium Zhai" knocked on the door and entered the house, a plate of vegetables had been eaten alive and peeled clean, leaving only the skeleton of the duck, scattered on the side.
"Guest officer, this is the shopkeeper Li in our store, I want to explain to you what garlic cloves and meat dishes can't be served-", after the young man finished speaking, he relaxed, stepped aside and looked at Ah Yuan with sympathy again.
Shopkeeper Li politely said the difficulty, should he change the dish, or let the master cook it at will, just try a new dish?
All real foodies, that must have a kind of want to eat something, must eliminate all difficulties to eat the spirit, got a little bit of roasted duck at the bottom of the Ah Yuan, stood up suddenly, heroic waved: "Shopkeeper Li, borrow your stove for use, I will make a garlic fried pork slices myself!" ”
Guests come to eat and cook their own food? Shopkeeper Li's small eyes blinked and blinked, zuihou, and nodded in agreement.
"Daughter-in-law, your legs-", Boss Bai looked in vain at Ah Yuan, who was re-congested with blood, limping out, thinking about it, and quickly followed, if he fell in the stove room again, it would be even more troublesome.
The masters were also dumbfounded, this was the first time they had seen a guest cook in the stove room, I don't know how to calculate the cost of this dish? Does the shopkeeper collect money, or do he look for money?
Just like a soldier on the battlefield, the slight injury under the soles of his feet is not enough to see, Ah Yuan was full of energy as soon as he entered the stove room, so many ingredients were on display, so many stoves were spitting flames, the air was full of the fragrance of food, and the masters were all chubby heads with shy belly, which made people feel happy at first sight.
Ah Yuan grabbed four heads of garlic and peeled them, and was picked up by Boss Bai, and the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.
The masters gave up a stove for Ah Yuan, and there was a chopping board, Ah Yuan waited for the garlic to be peeled and sliced, and then found a piece of pork tenderloin, cut it into about 2 thick slices, cut it neatly, and let Bai Boss knock it with the back of the knife, so that the meat is more tender.
Then, mix the chopped haode meat with egg greens, flour, noodle sauce, soy sauce, and sugar, and marinate for a while.
Heat the oil on high heat, fry the meat slices first, fry for 7-8 years, add a little soy sauce to enhance the color, add a little vinegar, put in half a plate of garlic slices, add salt, the garlic slices begin to become brown on the outside and soft on the inside!
The garlic that comes out of this way, not only is not spicy, but also has a special fragrance, and the pointed green shoots are even more fresh and tender, it is said that often eat some garlic to disinfect and sterilize, and there is a very haode anti-cancer effect.
Ah Yuan put a lot of garlic, plus a piece of tenderloin, zuihou filled a large plate, and walked out of the stove room under the surprised eyes of the masters.
Boss Bai smiled with joy, at this moment. The crampedness of the first "Millennium Zhai" is gone, and the daughter-in-law has regained her happy and comfortable smile, how good! No matter how many times you get a look at others, it's worth it!
This farmer who is marching towards the "Twenty-four Filial Piety" good man, holding a large plate with one hand and supporting his daughter-in-law with the other, walks steadily under his feet.
The guests in the lobby were all attracted by the pair, and their noses were hooked by the smell of garlic fried pork slices, until they returned to the private room. It blocks the sense of sight and smell.
"Shopkeeper, what kind of dish is that? It looks good, it tastes good, and it tastes good, so let's serve it too! "In the lobby, the guests who love food are shouting, if they don't like to eat, how can they often come to the hotel to spend time?
Shopkeeper Li's little eyes began to blink again. Then, smearing oil on the soles of his feet, "Thorn Yoo-" ran back to the private room where Ah Yuan was.
The three of them are enjoying eating now, the soft and glutinous braised pork has been put aside for a little longer, and the juice outside the meat piece has solidified into meat skin jelly and bites into the mouth. The taste is more somersaulty and smooth, plus the hot and fragrant garlic fried pork slices. The taste of the outside is charred and tender on the inside, and it doesn't feel greasy at all, just a big white steamed bun, that guy, for an emperor, he can't do it now, he has to wait until he is full to think about it!
Since Shopkeeper Li entered the door, Bai Lao Er also handed over a pair of chopsticks and invited him to taste the taste of garlic fried pork slices. Shopkeeper Li was very happy, and even took a few bites to show his intention. Naturally, I want to buy this dish.
"Guest officer, do you think this will work? The store will not charge your expenses today, and you only need the little lady to tell you how to make this dish. Shopkeeper Li's little eyes narrowed like a mouse about to eat salt, and he carefully observed Ah Yuan's expression.
Why don't you say that there are no merchants and no traitors? This old shopkeeper is a really slippery master, just a meal, just want to find our recipes to go over, if Ah Yuan is like other crossing girls, relying on selling recipes to make a living, then don't you have to be hungry to drink the northwest wind?
However, when he cooked in public in the stove room, those masters really had no distractions and didn't steal the master to learn the procedures? After all, this is not a rare dish with a heavy jishu content.
Asking profiteers to deal with profiteers is the easiest way, Ah Yuan gave Bai Lao Er a look, and he continued to deal with a piece of braised pork, Bai Boss was not interested at all, so he gave his daughter-in-law another piece, and muttered in his mouth: "I'll eat it, it's still not as fragrant as what you make at home, and the chewiness is almost a bit." ”
Shopkeeper Li, who had just talked to Bai Lao Er, grabbed the topic: "This brother, could it be that your little lady can also make braised pork?" ”
"Will you do it too? Shopkeeper Li, this method of braised pork was given to Steward Lu by my sister-in-law, and the recipe you got from Steward Lu in your store, is it right? Bai Lao Er interjected next to him, with some unconcealable pride and disdain in his tone, your hotel was cheap, and you still wanted to dip it for the second time, really when we are a cropper who has never eaten meat?
"Steward Lu? Do you know? Oh - by the way, I saw you and Steward Lu come to dinner last time, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family! Brother, let's continue eating, man, add another shrimp ball to the small private room-", the more the shopkeeper Li spoke, the more enthusiastic he became, and the guy outside the door immediately agreed.
"You're welcome!" Bai Lao Er hurriedly stopped and glanced at the eldest brother and sister-in-law: "We are all full, and it is a waste to bring new dishes again, my sister-in-law has an injury on her leg, and she has to rush home to rest, this cooking thing, let's talk about it next time!" ”
Shopkeeper Li knew that his previous approach was a little inappropriate, so he hurriedly changed his words: "It's all my fault that I'm confused, I don't know that the little lady's family still has a relationship with my family, and the conditions given before are really not enough, otherwise, how about the way the shop spent twenty taels of silver to buy this dish?" The guest officer didn't know that there were a lot of customers who came to the store to eat some green dishes, and the master just didn't think of the way to cook with garlic cloves! ”
The current price has to be regarded as sincere, but Ah Yuan has already got a new idea, she smiled slightly: "Shopkeeper Li is so polite, then so be it, you call a master to come, I will dictate to him, in addition, you have a lot of garlic reserves in your store, how about giving me two hangings?" In a few days, I'll give you some fresh green vegetables for free, and you'll be very happy. ”
"Really? Can a little lady raise green vegetables? At this time of year? Shopkeeper Li was skeptical, could it be that there is a greenhouse in the home of this kind of wearer? That thing is a thief and a money, but the owner has a large piece, but they are all planted with delicate flowers, who is willing to grow vegetables in it?
The three mouthfuls of the Bai family who ate and drank for nothing, hung two braids of garlic on the tricycle, and picked the most green shoots in the inventory of "Millennium Zhai", which made the shopkeeper Li praise the sincerity of the family.
There was no need to rush so much on the way back, the brothers took turns pedaling, and the sweat was not so urgent.
"Sister-in-law, we also have a lot of garlic at home, this thing is sparse and cheap, every family has it, chew two cloves when there is no vegetable to eat, and you can go down to two mixed dough cakes. What do you want all this for? Bai Lao Er asked while pedaling the car, and according to experience, this sister-in-law with a lot of eyes must have a good idea again.
Ah Yuan leaned on Boss Bai and smiled: "Fortunately, I went to the hotel to eat today, why did we forget?" Although we don't have a conservatory, we have a brick kiln, which burns in vain and night, and it's warmer than a conservatory! I want to grow some vegetables in the brick kiln, and I can eat everything in the winter. ”
Boss Bai suddenly understood an important piece of information, the happiest time for his daughter-in-law is when he talks about eating.
"But there's no light in the brick kiln! What grows? Also, sister-in-law, what does growing vegetables have to do with garlic? The two hangings you picked have already sprouted such long buds, and they will soon be pumped dry. ”
Ah Yuan smiled even more happily: "Second brother really can't understand? My sister-in-law just wants to raise these garlic sprouts, and when they grow, let's make garlic sprout dumplings and beat their teeth first! ”
However, garlic is planted when the weather is warm, and the garlic seedlings are thick, large and long, just to nourish the leaves of the garlic roots, can they be eaten?
The Bai brothers immediately thought of the long yellow tips of the garlic leaves, shriveled and rough, and couldn't help but shake their heads, when it comes to doing business, it cannot be denied that Ah Yuan does have a wider range of ideas, but when it comes to planting crops, she can only be a layman, and those radish gnocchi seeds that she has to plant in the autumn will not fall a little pimple leaves to make pickles? The rest said goodbye to the world in the sudden cold of the previous two days.
However, in the face of the injured little daughter-in-law, who is embarrassed to say that she is fooling around, anyway, it is close to the garlic that cannot be eaten, and if she is blind, she will be blind, okay, when she buys a woman's house, she will be happy.
Ah Yuan didn't think about it so much, and when he returned to the confusion array, he copied and asked Ah Dong to come over, first process more than 20 long wooden boxes, leave some gaps below, and then load half of the loose soil inside, and put it on the ground outside the brick kiln.
