Chapter 12 Show off your skills The carp turns over
After smoking, Chen Qiang washed his hands again, this is not because he has any cleanliness, but because there is a strong smell of smoke on his hands! Then he took the remaining nine cold dishes, according to the customs and habits of his hometown, carefully and ingeniously conceived, and one by one they were made of local materials. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He installed a plate, and the rest of the people learned it in a good way, and together they modified all the cold dishes. The secretary specially explained to the squad leader that the cold dishes loaded by Chen Qiang himself must be served to the main table of the company, and there can be no mistake!
The last ten newly packaged cold dishes were all "freshly baked", and the veterans all looked intently around the company's table, admiring that I was reluctant to eat such a beautiful dish. The 10 cold cuts are:
1. Evergreen all year round (shoot cucumber);
2, Wufu Linmen (Songhua Egg);
3. Red red hot (fried peanuts);
4. Happy years (tomatoes with sugar);
5. Dapeng spreads its wings (chicken wings are steamed and oiled);
6. Purple robe (eggplant salad);
7. Dominating (fried duck head);
8. East China Sea crystal (cold jellyfish head);
9. Gold 10,000 taels (golden needle ru pouring oil);
10. Tiger out of the mountain (coriander, pepper, green onion white).
In the end, the secretary couldn't remember the names of these dishes clearly, and the veterans were laughing, so he blushed and asked Chen Qiang to write the menu on red paper, read and read, memorize and remember, and finally put it directly in his arms to facilitate the company commander and instructor's inquiry.
At this time, it was nearly half past six o'clock in the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky was gradually getting dark, the outline of the mountains in the distance loomed, and there was not even a person on the mountain path, and the mountains and forests in the deep winter seemed so silent and declined.
Today is the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will start on time at 8 p.m., and Mao Yuanhu, commander of the 5th Tank Battalion, and instructor Zhang Wancai will come to attend.
Chen Qiang and the secretary came to the back of the kitchen to the river.
Someone turned on a few electric lights at the back door, the lights were bright, and the two of them washed the "sleeping Yellow River carp" in the icy river water for a while, and then used the marching pot to bring clear tap water, according to Chen Qiang's request, it was cleaned three times before it was finished.
At this time, the secretary carefully looked left and right, and secretly took out a chicken thigh from his personal pocket, handed it to Chen Qiang, and said, "After a busy afternoon, you must be hungry." You're welcome, you still have to help cook big dishes in the room at night, and when the dinner is dispersed at nine o'clock, you can have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us, I have already called your recruit third company headquarters, and the commander of the Jiang company has agreed. ”
Chen Qiangzhi felt a burst of excitement in his throat and eyes, he silently took it, squatted by the river and devoured it, his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time, this is a good person who really cares about himself!
After eating the chicken thighs, Chen Qiang wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and then the secretary of the tea jar drank it for a while, and the two of them tacitly carried the marching pot full of big fish back to the room.
At this time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and there were still fifty minutes before the start of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Chen Qiang helped the veterans to match all the dishes to be burned separately, and put them in one large basin after another in the order of what to do, so that they would not be in a hurry.
At this time, all the ten cold dishes on all the tables in the canteen of the Eighth Company had been placed, and the soldiers sent out by the secretary had also returned, and Chen Qiang had found all the materials needed to burn the big carp of the Yellow River, and the most important thing was that everything he drew circles was in place, which made him feel very happy in his heart, and he had a greater grasp.
At this time, the secretary took a small bowl from the stove, which was full of small black fruits one after another, all of which were already dried up, and he asked Chen Qiang if he knew him, Chen Qiang had to smile bitterly and shake his head.
Wang Guoqiang, a veteran soldier next to him, interjected and said: "We can't tell what it's called, but the villagers all say that it is spices, and if you put some when you cook fish and meat, it will have unexpected effects." We eat regularly, all of them are in good health, and there has never been any adverse reactions. ”
Chen Qiang still picked one up carefully, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, there is an indescribable fragrance, different from star anise and other spices, since the veterans often eat it, it must be nothing poisonous, tonight's spices are insufficient, just put more of this wild fruit! Chen Qiang secretly summed it up in his heart.
Time flies really fast, less than eight o'clock, the queue at the door of the canteen of the eighth tank company, it turned out that the soldiers of the third company and three platoons of recruits arrived, they stood at the door, and sang a song "unity is strength" loudly, and then the platoon commander Xu Jiancheng reported to the old company, the company commander of the eighth tank company, Si Decheng: "Report to the comrade chief, the third platoon of the third company of the recruits was ordered to arrive, please instruct!" Platoon commander, Xu Jiancheng. ”
"Take a break, welcome everyone to the Tank Eighth Company for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I hope you don't feel homesick, we are a family when we come here, please eat in the cafeteria below!" Si Degong, the commander of the eighth company, said calmly.
After the recruits entered the canteen, the comrades of the old company also entered the canteen, and the small canteen was crowded, which was really a bit of a water. When everyone was seated, they called the battalion headquarters again and asked the battalion commander to come over for dinner, and this year it was finally the battalion headquarters' turn to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the Eighth Company.
Because the battalion headquarters was very close to the Eighth Company, within two minutes of a phone call, the battalion commander Mao Yuanhu, the instructor Zhang Wancai, and the battalion clerk Pan Xiaolong all arrived.
All the warriors stood up and shouted, "Good chief! Then there was a round of applause. Mao Yuanhu and Zhang Wancai solemnly saluted all the soldiers together, and then the battalion commander Mao Yuanhu waved his hand, beckoned everyone to sit down, and said:
"Since it's a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there is not so much exquisiteness, everyone is casual! Every festive season, tomorrow is the traditional festival that we Chinese value the most, the Spring Festival! On behalf of the battalion department, I would like to wish you all a happy family during the Spring Festival in advance! Good luck! ”
Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and then everyone had time to look at the table, and they all felt that the colors were complete, and they were quite appetizing when they looked at it.
After Si Decheng saw it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said to the instructor Du Bing: "What's the matter, did you change the chef this afternoon?" "No, it's still those people!"
The company commander Si Decheng hurriedly glanced at the secretary who was standing on the side, and the two of them stood in the corner and muttered quietly, and the company commander finally asked the situation briefly.
"This dish is really good! Looking at it, it feels pleasing to the eye, and the big hotel in Tianchang City is also at this level! You guys have really worked hard this year! Instructor Zhang Wancai said happily.
"Thank you instructor for the compliment, I still have a menu here!" , said that the company commander Si Decheng raised the menu that Yang had "robbed" from the secretary general.
"Ahh I'll take a look! The instructor took it easily, looked at it carefully for a while, and then handed it to the battalion commander, and then everyone circulated it.
"Good! The meaning of this menu is good! Especially the last "tiger out of the mountain", our fifth tank battalion will be this tiger out of the mountain next year, and we will win the first place in all competitions in the regiment! Battalion commander Mao Yuanhu said with a smile.
"Come, come, let's do it! You're welcome, tell the guy to start cooking hot food! ”
Instructor Du Bing took the initiative to stand up and greeted everyone. The secretary quickly turned around and entered the room, beckoning everyone to get busy.
At this time, the cooking squad leader was busy, and it was the first time Chen Qiang saw such a large iron pot, which was more than a meter wide and fifty centimeters deep. What a big guy, the squad leader kept turning up and down with a big shovel back and forth, it seems that he can't do it without a handful of strength, and every dish on it is a pot of stew!
After a while, the hot dishes were served like flowing water, and the soldiers were really happy and comfortable, and their expressions relaxed, only to hear the sound of the soldiers swallowing and drinking like running water.
Delicious dishes are one after another, including braised pork, shiny prawns, and golden ingots...... Everyone's eyes were really shining and their spirits were flying, and some brave veterans even ran to the main table to toast the leader's wine.
Company commander Si Decheng broke the practice of previous years as soon as he was happy, as long as the soldiers who toasted had wine, but no more than two taels were allowed, so that the atmosphere of the canteen was pushed to the first level, at this time everyone was no longer officers and soldiers, but good brothers and sisters who loved each other.
"Chen Qiang is ready! The big carp of the Yellow River is about to go to the pot, you can take the spoon! The hope of eating a full Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year is all on you! Come on! You're the only one of a new recruit's company! The secretary greeted Chen Qiang and replaced the cooking squad leader who was busy and sweating.
"Okay, please trust me!" Chen Qiang didn't say much, and walked quickly onto the stove, at this time the pot had been washed clean, and from the time when the squad leader was cooking just now, he already knew where the condiments and spices in each small pot were placed.
After he waited for the cauldron to heat up, he calmly poured a whole pot of vegetable oil into the pot, putting more vegetables than he usually fried. And I didn't use salad oil, because my grandmother said that if you roast fish, you must use vegetable oil, otherwise it will have no taste.
"The fire in the back burns bigger!" When the secretary saw that the oil was in the pot, he didn't immediately roll over, and couldn't help shouting anxiously. After a while, Chen Qiang saw that the vegetable oil at the bottom of the pot kept tumbling, so he kept adding green onions, garlic, dried chili peppers, and ginger slices into the iron pot and stir-fried until fragrant.
He firmly grasped the head of the fish with his hand, slowly put each fish into the pot, and then boiled it repeatedly with boiling oil, and when the ten carp were neatly put into the pot and gradually burned out the fragrance, he immediately poured a little vinegar and immediately covered the big wooden pot lid and smothered it.
Because he knows that this action directly determines success or failure, and the speed of covering the pot after pouring vinegar must be very fast. But because it wasn't a fish cooked at home, the simmering time was doubled, about twenty seconds. Then I quickly lifted the lid of the pot, added water to the vinegared fish pot, and then poured in the light soy sauce with a moderate amount.
Then put ten teaspoons of bean paste, add water, then add five spices, star anise, etc., and then put all the small bowl of unknown mountain fruit spices into the pot, first boil over high heat, and then simmer over low heat. In this way, after simmering for about half an hour on high and low heat, the fish began to rot in shame, and the color of the fish began to darken.
At this time, the secretary was already anxious as if someone had lit a fire, and kept walking back and forth in the kitchen, his eyes full of anxiety. It turned out that when he was serving the food just now, the company commander jokingly said that this year's carp would be rewarded to him if he didn't need to serve it.
As soon as the secretary was in a hurry, he issued a "military order" on the spot in front of the battalion instructor Zhang Wancai, and if it was not good to eat this year, he, the secretary general, would quit and go home to farm next year!
After a few more minutes, after the big carp of the Yellow River was finally stewed, Chen Qiang carefully used a shovel to level the strips and put them in ten large porcelain plates, then grabbed a handful of processed and chopped coriander, sprinkled a circle as a beautifying decoration, and then poured some of the fish soup in the pot evenly on the fish.
Then, just as the secretary was about to serve it, he stopped it, saying that there was one last process. When the veterans heard this, they all stared at him with wide eyes.
After Chen Qiang asked the quick squad leader to wash the pot, he finally poured half a basin of vegetable oil into the iron pot, and after the oil was completely boiled, he poured some on the fish with a large iron spoon. In this way, the most authentic Yellow River carp is completely ready.
The secretary was dazzled, and ordered everyone to serve it quickly, and then he was ready to make the last dish, of course, dumplings. He anxiously brought the big carp of the Yellow River to the dining table of the company, and stood aside and silently shouted "Buddha bless" in his heart!
For a while, the table was full of aroma, and the company commander Si Decheng looked at it, knowing that this was a big carp of the Yellow River that couldn't eat any good taste every year, could it be that there would really be too many miracles today, this is another one!
He quickly took the lead and stretched out his chopsticks to taste it, until he felt that his tongue was no longer his own, and he felt particularly slippery, crispy and fragrant......
Si Decheng hurriedly grabbed another chopstick, it was still the same, it was so delicious, he couldn't help but be intoxicated.
