Chapter 154: Cao Fu admits defeat
And Wang Sen came to the room alone, looking at the many ingredients, he was just a little hesitant where to start, and a figure appeared in front of Wang Sen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Wang Sen saw that it was Zhang Hu, a kid, and his heart became happy, "Zhang Hu, why don't you pack up your things with everyone and come to the room?" β
"Big brother, the cooking of the palace has always been in charge of me, how can I watch you do it by yourself? Won't I come here and help you! And I haven't seen each other for so long, and I want my eldest brother to see if my cooking skills have improved. β
Wang Sen understood what Zhang Hu meant, firstly, he was afraid that he would be tired, and secondly, he also wanted to learn some more cooking skills, these two points were of course no problem for Wang Sen, and then the two of them also started.
"Okay, Zhang Hu, you help me, let's make something special today, haven't you always wanted to eat dishes from other places? During this time, I will do the same for you, you wait and see! β
Zhang Hu suddenly became excited, "Big brother, are you serious?" Then let's make us the food of the Jiangnan generation today! β
Wang Sen thought about it, the food of the Jiangnan generation should be the most delicious Cantonese cuisine, Wang Sen immediately decided, "Okay, today I will give you all a taste of Jiangnan cuisine." After speaking, Wang Sen also began to let Zhang Hu prepare the materials.
As we all know, Cantonese cuisine is characterized by strict selection of materials, fine workmanship, delicious quality, combination of Chinese and Western, and health care, so it is also very rigorous in preparation.
From the selection of materials, Wang Sen began to ask Zhang Hu, in terms of vegetables, to remove the leaves and stalks, to retain its essence, and even more so in terms of meat, only part of the best places to eat, and other places to be discarded, so the whole material collection is very difficult.
The production is even more so, Wang Sen used his exquisite knife skills to start trimming, and took different materials to pickle and taste, which can be said to be extremely cumbersome.
Zhang Hu was also studying carefully on the side, remembering Wang Sen's entire steps, and from time to time he asked a few questions, and Wang Sen also answered on the side, which made the two of them teach and learn at the same time, and the progress was also very fast.
After a while, the preparation of ingredients was almost completed, Wang Sen looked at it and said to Zhang Hu: "Okay, now we can come to cook!" β
"What I'm going to make for you today are barbecued pork, garlic pork ribs, sand tea beef, braised seafood with mushrooms, pomegranate chicken and old fire soup."
The method of barbecued pork is much simpler, after marinating the selected meat, put it on the grilling net, brush the appropriate amount of honey on both sides, start the barbecue, take it out after roasting about a cup of tea, and then brush the sauce and honey on both sides, and then wait for a while to remove it, and finally brush it again, and it becomes the barbecued pork when it is slightly cool.
Seeing Wang Sen do it himself, Zhang Hu on the side kept the method in mind, and he also came out to make it in a timely manner, this thing is not very difficult, so Zhang Hu quickly got started.
The next second dish is garlic pork ribs, wash the pork ribs and chop them into 8 cm long, add an appropriate amount of garlic, pour the garlic juice into the ribs, mix until absorbed into it, mix starch, sugar and salt, marinate a column of fragrant time, put the pot on the fire, add oil and burn until it is hot, put in the ribs, fry them over slow fire and look golden brown, pick them up and put them on the plate, and they become garlic pork ribs.
The garlic pork ribs dish is actually not very difficult, but the difficulty lies in the material and size of the pork ribs, which is one of the difficulties.
Without one taste, it can't be very authentic, so Zhang Hu also secretly wrote down all these factors.
Then there is sand tea beef, the difficulty of this dish is sand tea, but fortunately, the ingredients that everyone returned this time contain sand tea, so Wang Sen thought of sand tea beef.
This dish, the method is very simple, beef slices with ginger shreds, salt, oyster sauce, raw ingredients, cooking wine marinated into the flavor, pour oil into the pot, put the beef into the stir-fry, stir-fry and change color quickly put out for later use, another pot, with a little oil to fry the ginger shreds, to the beef slices into the quick stir-fry, put two spoons of sand tea sauce into the stir-fry, before the pot sprinkled coriander, quickly stir-fry, put out.
Zhang Hu read it on the side and carefully wrote down the main ingredients of this dish, as for the process, it was not a problem for him!
Finally, there is the seafood stewed with mushrooms and pomegranate chicken.
To stew seafood with mushrooms, soak the mushrooms in water to remove the salt, blanch them and set aside. Peel the scallops, remove the flesh and slice them. Sliced conch meat. Remove the sand line from the shrimp and soak it in water.
Put the scallop meat and conch meat on a plate, add white vinegar and edible alkaline noodles to scrub, and then rinse off the vinegar taste. Heat the oil in the pot until it is 50% hot, add the scallop meat, conch meat and shrimp oil, and quickly remove it.
Leave a little base oil in the pot, add shallots, ginger juice, cooking wine, salt, chicken essence, pepper, thicken with water starch, pour in raw materials and stir-fry evenly.
Although this dish is a little complicated, it tastes very delicious, so Zhang Hu asked while watching, and it didn't take long to really remember the whole process.
As for the pomegranate chicken, it is similar to the seafood stew with mushrooms, which is a bit cumbersome, with carrots, celery, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots and chicken chopped and mixed; Add a little black pepper, sugar and salt, half a tablespoon of sesame oil; Stir with chopsticks in one direction until strong, and set aside as a filling; Beat the eggs evenly, add a little starch, and sieve twice; Pour a little egg mixture into a frying pan, shake well and fry over low heat to form a thin egg skin; Cut 4 slices of egg skin, take a piece and wrap it with an appropriate amount of filling, prick it with a scalded soft green onion leaf, put it on a plate, steam a cup of tea through water, add water to the starch and the remaining sesame oil to heat it into a sauce, and pour it on the pomegranate chicken.
Zhang Hu also remembered it in his heart, and it didn't take long for Wang Sen to finally finish all the dishes, and the next thing was the soup!
You must know that soups, in Cantonese cuisine, it is really a must, the slow-cooked Chinese old fire soup, the heat is enough, the time is long, not only to take the effect of medicine, but also to take the sweetness of the mouth. A few hours of boiling is sufficient. The gourmet soup cooked with all kinds of warmth is a health soup that regulates the balance of yin and yang in the human body, and it is also a medicinal soup that assists in treatment and restores the body.
And everyone rushed back all the way, and there was some fire on their bodies, so Wang Sen prepared 'Tomato Lily Pork Liver Soup'.
Cut the pork liver into thin slices, scald it with boiling water, and remove it. It is better to choose pork liver with a light color and a taste close to pink.
Marinate the pork liver for a cup of tea. If you want the pork liver to fully flavor, you can add the cut pork liver to the appropriate amount of soy sauce, wine, pepper and cornstarch before making the soup. When marinating, you should grasp it by hand so that the seasoning is well mixed.
Cut the tomatoes into cubes, simmer with the lily over medium heat for about a cup of tea time, add the ginger slices. Tomatoes for soup should be selected with a hard feel. Blanch it with boiling water before cutting, so that the skin can be easily peeled off and no skin will float on the soup.
If the lily is fresh, you should choose one with a white and bright skin. If you use dried lilies, you can extend the cooking time appropriately. Add pork liver and appropriate seasonings, and cook for a column of fragrant time over medium heat. Dietary effect: nourish blood, moisten the lungs, clear the fire.
In this way, Wang Sen finally finished all the dishes, and he handed over the work in his hand to Zhang Hu, and asked him to try it first, while Wang Sen guided him on the side.
Zhang Hu also relied on his own memory, slowly operated, not to mention, during this time in Xuzhou, Zhang Hu's cooking skills really improved a lot, and he quickly mastered the method, although there are still some deficiencies in the operation, but it is not a problem, I have to do it a few more times, and it will be successful.
Seeing this, Wang Sen didn't say anything more, and handed over all the work of his subordinates to Zhang Hu, and he returned to the living room alone.
At this time, the living room can be said to be full, adults are either playing mahjong, or playing all kinds of chess and cards, it can be said that the scene is really spectacular.
Seeing Wang Sen coming in, everyone was about to stand up, but Wang Sen waved his hand and motioned for everyone to continue, and then he was also by the side of Cai Yan and Princess Liu Ming, watching them play mahjong....
"Husband, why did you come out so quickly, are you done with the meal?"
"Yes, Wang Sen, everyone is waiting to try your craft, don't be lazy!"
Cai Yan and Princess Liu Ming said at the same time, and everyone nodded unconsciously.
"Don't worry, I just taught Zhang Hu all the skills, this kid wants to try it himself, I can let him, I believe it will not be bad."
Only then did everyone feel relieved, no longer talk about food, and began to continue playing.
At this moment, the subordinates of the palace came to inform that Cao Cao and Guo Jia had come to the palace.
Wang Sen and the soldiers of the palace were stunned after hearing this, they didn't expect that the people from the Cao Mansion would come at this time, and everyone didn't continue, they got up one by one to clean the living room, and the fiancΓ©es of the generals of the palace also retreated with Princess Liu Ming and Cai Yan.
Wang Sen got up and went to greet Jia Xu on his behalf.
β¦β¦β¦β¦..
At this time, outside the gate of the palace, Cao Cao and Guo Jia really waited for a long time, but fortunately, Wang Sen and Jia Xu appeared at this time, and Cao Cao and Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief!
Wang Sen also said apologetically as soon as he came up: "Big brother, I'm sorry, the generals of the palace are all back today, and they are entertaining, I didn't expect the big brother to arrive at this time, and the people in the palace cleaned up, so I came a little slowly, I hope the big brother understands!" β
Cao Cao then understood, and at the same time became a little apologetic, "Brother Sen, don't say that, I came a little abruptly, I don't blame you, I also heard that the generals of the palace have returned, so I came to see it on behalf of Fengxiao, I hope it didn't cause chaos for everyone!" β
"Big brother, what do you say, you can come, I'm happy and not in a hurry, how can I add to the chaos?"
"Come in!" After speaking, Wang Sen stepped forward and took Cao Cao's hand and entered the palace directly, while Jia Xu and Guo Jia also nodded to each other, and followed Wang Sen and Cao Cao into the mansion.
When they came to the meeting room, the generals under the palace were in good spirits one by one, and stood up in two rows, their faces expressionless.
After Cao Cao saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he also knew what was going on, so he said to everyone as soon as he came up: "I, Cao Mengde, heard today that the soldiers of the palace have returned, and everyone has gathered together again, which is really gratifying, and here I congratulate everyone on their triumphant return." β
Seeing that Cao Cao had made such a bottom of his identity, and he also had a smiling face, everyone immediately glanced at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu has already heard about the two mansions that Cao Cao said in the palace before, plus the relationship between Wang Sen and Cao Cao, so everyone must give this face.
I saw Jia Xu nodded, and the generals returned the salute and said, "Lord Cao is polite!" β
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the generals of the palace have become much less hostile to him, which makes Cao Cao very happy.
At the same time, he glanced at Guo Jia, Guo Jia also knew that it was time for him to appear, he thought for a while and said: "Here I, Guo Fengxiao, also represent the generals of the Cao Mansion to come to see the brothers of the palace. β
"Although some unpleasant things have happened in our two mansions before, but this is just our family matter, the so-called broken bones and tendons, and I hope that the brothers in the palace will touch each other happily regardless of their previous suspicions."
Although Guo Jia said it simply, anyone could hear what he meant, this incident was really out of line, and now Lord Cao and Lord Wang have come out to stop, and Cao Fu accepts this proposal.
At the same time, Guo Jia came forward this time, and also hoped that the palace would give him a face, and set the tone for the struggle between the palace and Cao Mansion this time, that is, the infighting between the brothers.
Although everyone also knows that the two governments will continue to fight each other in the future, the bottom line of fighting without breaking has been clear, and I hope everyone understands.
At this time, Jia Xu, the first strategist of the palace, should have come forward to answer Guo Jia's words, but Jia Xu glanced at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu understood. With a slight smile, he stood up and replied: "What Feng Xiao said is true, the previous matter, our palace did not take it to heart at all, everyone brothers, it is natural to touch each other happily, I agree to your request on behalf of the brothers of the palace." Are you satisfied?"
After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Guo Jia frowned and lowered his head and pondered for a while, and it didn't take long for him to finally raise his head and say to Zhou Yu: "What Gong Jin said is exactly what I want, Guo Jia has been taught!" After speaking, he bowed and saluted, and Zhou Yu immediately returned the salute.
Only then did the soldiers of the palace show a satisfied smile on their faces, because everyone understood that this was Guo Jia's apology to the palace, otherwise he would not have spoken to Zhou Yu, and if he wanted to talk, he would have had a dialogue with Jia Xu.
Of course, Wang Sen understood the meaning of this, and felt that it was a little too humiliating, he just wanted to help Guo Jia, but Cao Cao, who wanted to be on the side, immediately blocked Wang Sen's movements and said, "Brother Sen, what are you doing here?" β
"The affairs of the generals of our two governments will be solved by themselves, and the two of us will not be involved, everyone hasn't played mahjong for a long time, why don't you play with everyone?"
"And Fengxiao, you also come to participate, Brother Sen, you also have someone from the palace, okay?"
Of course, Wang Sen understood what Cao Cao meant, and immediately nodded, "Okay, big brother, I will also call Jia Xu from my house to come together, and the four of us will have a fight." β
