Chapter 58: My heart is itching
Fan Yu didn't think much about it, so he returned home with Chen Fang.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhan Zhaozheng chatting with his stepmother, Granny Li.
Hearing the footsteps, Granny Li smiled and said, "This is Yu'er coming back, although I can't see it, but I can't hear this footsteps wrong." ”
Zhan Zhao got up and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is right, it is Little Brother Fan." ”
"Brother Zhan, are you here?" Fan Yu bowed his hand to Zhanzhao and asked, "But the matter of Chenzhou is over, and Bao Qin is about to return to Beijing?" ”
"You guessed right, I'll come to you first this time, just to make a front stop." Zhan Zhao looked at Fan Yu twice, and said strangely: "Didn't you already hand over the errand of river control, why are you still busy with dust?" ”
Fan Yu had just returned from the workshop, where the hydraulic press had a great impact and dust every time it was stamped, which naturally made him dusty.
He smiled at Zhan Zhao and said, "The younger brother took in two hungry families and let them build a workshop. I just came back from there, which made Brother Zhan smile. ”
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly and said: "Chenzhou's cash-for-work is already in order, and when it comes to spring plowing next year, seeds and farm tools can be distributed." It's going to be a long time before you can afford to feed these two hungry families. ”
"I just passed through the shopkeeper Wu of Taibai Building and introduced a businessman." Fan Yu said disapprerovingly: "The wok made in the workshop has been sold for a lot of money. The merchant ordered a thousand pots in one go, and even paid for it. ”
Fan Yu was excited, and when he heard Zhanzhao ask, he took out the money he had just received and let the other party see it.
Zhan Zhao saw that they were all ten bills, no less than a dozen, which frightened him.
"Is it really a thousand pots? Brother Fan, you're not scaring me, are you? Whatever workshop you build, two families can make so many pots. Zhan Zhao said worriedly: "The people of this world are sinister, don't be fascinated by money and fall into the trap of others." ”
"Brother Zhan, rest assured, there should be nothing wrong with this matter." Fan Yu explained: "Shopkeeper Wu knows my family background, and the merchant is also his nephew, so they know each other's roots. What's more, the other party paid first, what can you do to me. Brother Zhan, don't worry, I'll be careful. ”
Zhan Zhao saw that Fan Yu was very confident, so he no longer mentioned the matter, but changed his tone and said: "I'll come to the front station, and Lord Bao's carriage and horse will arrive tomorrow." Then you will have to wait with me for Bao Qincha. At that time, Bao Qincha will come to you for questioning, and you should deal with it carefully. ”
"Brother Zhan will rest at my place for one night today, and it just so happens that I will use the newly made wok to cook you two new dishes." Fan Yu finished talking with Zhanzhao about business, and then invited.
Of course, Zhanzhao would not shirk Fan Yu's invitation, but had some expectations: "Little Brother Fan is really not simple, these days, you have a new dish?" What is the type of dish, can you tell me first? ”
Fan Yu laughed and said: "I can't say this for the time being, when Brother Zhan sees it, he will naturally know." ”
With a wok, Fan Yu is equivalent to having a sharp weapon in his hand. In the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that this woks are unique, although Taibai Lou also has them, the dishes that Master Wang knows are far less than Fan Yu knows.
When he left the hall, he called Chen Fang over and brought her some money to buy a big carp.
When Chen Fang heard that she was asked to buy carp, she was a little unhappy and said, "Fan Langjun, that carp has an earthy smell and is not delicious." If you want to cook fish for guests, it is better to use grass carp. ”
Fan Yu patted her brain and said, "I know this, but it depends on who made this carp." If someone else does it, it will naturally be fishy. But if your Fan Langjun makes it, not only is it not fishy, but it will also be delicious. ”
Chen Fang's little girl didn't believe it, so she could only secretly slander her own Fan Langjun for being stingy, she must be afraid that the guests would eat too much.
Fan Yu told her to buy some other ingredients, and Chen Fang wrote them all down.
In the kitchen first, he prepared all the green onions and ginger to be used, then lit a fire and boiled water, waiting for Chen Fang to come back from shopping.
The ingredients Fan Yu asked for were not complicated, and the little girl quickly ran back with the basket.
ran to the kitchen, handed the basket to Fan Yudao: "Lang Jun, please take a look, but there is still something missing?" ”
"This carp is good, it's still alive, and it weighs three pounds. This chicken is killed, which saves a lot of work. Fan Yu looked at the ingredients in the basket and counted them: "The celery, garlic sprouts and tenderloin are very fresh, well, this bacon is some years old." ”
Chen Fang's little girl looked inside the kitchen, "What is Lang Jun cooking today?" The white-cut chicken last time was delicious, do you still want to make it? ”
"Don't do it this time, go get some dried mushrooms that are drying in the back." Fan Yu said without raising his head.
Hearing that there was no white cut chicken and she had to run another errand, Chen Fang pouted.
Fan Yu didn't care about her, and began to pack up the ingredients in the kitchen. This time, he arranged, this fish was made into sweet and sour fish.
There is a point that Chen Fang's little girl said is right, the earthy smell of carp is relatively strong. But after the carp scraped the scales and cleaned up, it was changed into a knife flower and marinated for a while with green onion and ginger. Then it is wrapped in a paste made of eggs and flour and fried in a pan.
Holding the tail of the fish in one hand, hold the head of the fish with a fence and slowly lower it in the pan.
With the sound of hot oil, the big carp was fried, as if swimming against the water and trying to jump into the dragon gate.
Putting the fried carp on the plate, Fan Yu hurriedly fried a sweet and sour sauce, and then poured the sour and delicious thick juice on the carp with a spoon.
It happened that Chen Fang came back with dried mushrooms, and when she saw this scene, she was very happy. Watching Fan Langjun cook is simply a pleasure, and it is also a sight to see the world. The world is so big, I'm afraid there are few people who can cook better than Fan Langjun.
Fan Yu took the dried mushrooms, soaked them in hot water, and asked Chen Fang to put the sweet and sour fish aside.
The loin was cut into thin slices by Fan Yu, coated in some thin flour paste, and then removed after a little frying in the oil pan. The loin of this slice is only slightly yellowish, but the meat slices inside are actually eight ripe.
Put a wok on the shelf and add a little vegetable oil. As soon as the oil was hot, Fan Yu poured the fried meat slices into the pot and stir-fried, adding a little salt and soy sauce, as well as shredded green onions and ginger. After a few flips of the pot, then add the chopped garlic sprouts and stir-fry slightly, the tangy fragrance immediately spreads, and people can't help but move their index fingers.
This dish is a stir-fried garlic sprout with loin that Fan Yu improvised together, but it is also delicious.
At this time, the mushrooms are soaked, the knife is changed, and the chicken pieces that have been chopped and blanched are fried in the same pot. After frying until it was broken, Fan Yu poured two bowls of rice wine, added seasonings and salt to cover the pot and simmered.
Although it is just an ordinary stewed chicken with dried mushrooms, Fan Yu is stewed in rice wine. And this is fried, with more pot gas and oil fragrance, and the soup is fresh and thick, which is far from being comparable to the ordinary stewed chicken in the Great Song Dynasty.
The last dish of fried bacon with celery, there is nothing to say, under Fan Yu's manipulation, it is not a problem at all.
Before the four dishes were finished, the aroma wafted all over the courtyard, and Zhanzhao was drinking tea in front, but his heart was itching. This little brother Fan is really good at selling Guanzi, and this skill is also amazing.
