Chapter Twenty-Seven: Aftertaste
Liu Che made a joke, and he didn't compete with Wei Qing, so he let Wei Qing clean the potatoes with him.
Taking advantage of this time, Tang Qi first heated the oil in the pan and made preparations.
Liu Che followed Tang Qi and did not leave an inch.
He wanted to write down the process of Tang Qi making food, and when he returned to Chang'an, he would let the imperial chef make it for himself.
Tang Qi didn't pick up anyone, anyway, all he knew was home-cooked food, even if he was learned by Liu Che, it was nothing.
Just when the oil in the pot was about to boil, Wei Zifu suddenly came over and asked, "Mr. Tang, do you have needlework here?" I want to mend your Majesty's clothes! ”
When Liu Che came back with potatoes just now, he used his dragon robe to carry it.
Originally, during the sea drifting, the dragon robe was a little damaged.
Today, I took on some rough work, and the damage to the dragon robe was even more obvious.
That's why Wei Zifu wanted to sew it up.
It's a pity that Tang Qi doesn't have any needlework at all.
At the beginning, Tang Qi was on a desert island, wearing a brand-name suit, the quality was quite good, and there was no wear and tear after three years, so naturally he didn't need a needle and thread.
The only trouble is that there is no replacement of clothes after washing.
Fortunately, there was no one on the island in the past three years, and Tang Qi finished washing his clothes and ran around the island naked.
Just one word, Sa!
Now that Wei Zifu asked, Tang Qi could only answer truthfully: "I really don't have any needlework here, but if you want to use it, I'll make it for you in the afternoon!" ”
"Needlework?"
Wei Zifu was suddenly surprised: "Mr. Tang, you even understand this?" ”
Tang Qi said modestly: "I understand a little, I just understand a little!" ”
He can even make a kitchen knife and a hoe, and it is naturally no problem to make a sewing needle, it is nothing more than spending a little more time and energy.
Wei Zifu said with admiration: "Mr. Tang is really worthy of being a fairy, there are so many people, then I will trouble you Mr. Tang in the afternoon!" ”
Tang Qi waved his hand and said, "It's nothing troublesome, I'll fry the french fries first, and I'll make them for you in the afternoon!" ”
Wei Zifu nodded, and went to the wooden house to sit and rest.
Soon, Wei Qing came over with seven or eight washed potatoes and put them on the stove.
Tang Qi took out a knife, peeled the potatoes clean, and then used the kitchen knife to cut them into neat pieces.
When Wei Qing saw this scene, he couldn't help but admire: "Mr. Tang's knife work is so good!" ”
"Do you still have to say that?"
Tang Qi said proudly: "I think I also won an award for my knife work back then!" ”
Wei Qing immediately said in confusion: "This ...... There is still a prize for this thing? ”
Tang Qi said confidently: "Of course, the winner of the first prize in the knife category of the Lianhuatun Community Cooking Competition is exactly below!" ”
Liu Che and Wei Qing were suddenly in awe.
The two of them actually didn't know what a community was, they just thought it should be a kind of regional division of Penglai Xiandao.
Being able to win an award on Fairy Island proves that this knife work is indeed good.
"Mr. Tang, you are also a great expert in using knives, and you also use knives in the next two, can you point to the next two in your spare time?"
Wei Qing said to Tang Qi very sincerely.
Tang Qi said very casually: "This thing is nothing to learn, just practice more, another day you pick some radish, first practice slicing, then practice shredding, and finally practice carving, this set of practice is completed, to ensure that your knife skills improve by leaps and bounds!" ”
This is true.
The way of cooking, there is no tricks, only hard work.
Wei Qing naturally knows this truth.
He nodded his head to show that he understood.
Tang Qi didn't waste any time, just put the sliced potatoes into a hot pot filled with water and start simmering.
Liu Che and Wei Qing stopped talking, staring directly at the fries in the hot pot, waiting for the food to come out of the pot.
French fries aren't really complicated.
When the potatoes in the pot are stewed until they are seven or eight medium-rare, take out the potato strips, put them in the water for a while, and then throw them into the oil pan and start frying.
After a few moments, a strong fragrance spreads.
Liu Che and Wei Qing both drooled.
For them, french fries are a complete rarity.
The first time I smelled the french fries, I was naturally embarrassed.
Tang Qi took out the french fries that had been fried until they were golden brown and put them in a large stoneware bowl.
Liu Che couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Tang, are these french fries ready to eat?" ”
"Not yet, you have to sprinkle some salt!"
Tang Qi said, reaching out and pinching out a small handful of salt from the salt shaker, sprinkled it into the bowl, and then picked up the bowl and sifted it twice.
"Okay, now the french fries are ready, you can taste them!"
Tang Qi sent invitations to Liu Che and Wei Qing.
Liu Che didn't say a word, and immediately reached out and grabbed one.
Wei Qing naturally waited for Liu Che to finish grabbing it before he reached out to grab it.
At this time, the french fries are still a little hot.
Liu Che grinned at the fries for half a day, and then took a heavy bite.
Crisp!
Rich and fragrant!
"It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's full of flavor and aftertaste!"
Liu Che praised loudly while eating.
Wei Qing followed up and exclaimed: "These french fries are indeed delicious, better than all the fried foods I eat, they are really immortal!" ”
Tang Qi originally wanted to wait until all the fries were fried before eating.
But when these two people said this, his greed could no longer be suppressed.
So Tang Qi himself grabbed a french fries and tasted them.
Well, the taste is still a little worse than the fries in those foreign fast food restaurants.
It is said that the fries in foreign fast food restaurants are soaked in milk after they are stewed, which will make the fries more flavorful.
However, in terms of desert island conditions, these french fries are already delicious.
Didn't you see that the two of them said that the french fries were Xianzhen?
"The process of french fries is relatively simple, if you two think it is delicious, you can fry it yourself in the future, anyway, there are a lot of potatoes on this island!"
While eating, Tang Qi said to Liu Che and Wei Qing very casually.
Liu Che's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Tang, do you mean, can we use the potatoes on this island casually?" ”
Tang Qi looked at Liu Che with strange eyes and said: "Of course you can use it casually, potatoes are not rare ingredients, including rice and sweet potatoes, you can eat them if you want, you don't have to be polite to me!" ”
The yield of hybrid rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes per mu is about five or six thousand catties, even if Tang Qi is stupped to death, he can't eat much in a year, and the rest is just a waste.
Now that someone has come to help share the burden, Tang Qi naturally can't ask for it, so why is there anything to give up.
Liu Che and Wei Qing were even more excited.
They had just decided to hide the potatoes, and they were still wondering how to hide them.
Now that Tang Qi has said so, there are many ways.
Wei Qing even planned to secretly dig out a cellar while he was sleeping at night.
However, excitement is excitement, Liu Che still bowed his hand very politely: "Thank you, Mr. Tang!" ”
