Chapter 20: This Time It's Time to Show Your Skills
Of course, this time, because Xiao Qiqi bought enough ingredients and various seasonings, plus all kinds of neat kitchen supplies, this meal at night looked taller than the first wild vegetable feast.
Xiao Qiqi made four cold dishes this time, the first one was spicy cold cucumber, she first slice the green onion cloves, cut the red pepper and dried pepper into sections, sprinkle the cucumber slices with fine salt, and set aside to pickle, which takes half an hour.
Xiao Qiqi didn't want to waste time, she wouldn't wait dryly, she immediately started to boil it in a pot with duck gizzard water and green onion and ginger star anise, which took half an hour.
During this period, it was enough for her to complete the second cold dish, which was refreshing and crispy, with bean sprouts to remove the roots and wash them, carrots to peel and shred, celery leaves to be picked and washed, and tofu shreds to be washed and cut short and drained. Of course, for the job of washing vegetables and picking vegetables, Zhang Cuihua and sweet girls help Xiao Qiqi, Xiao Qiqi saved all this time and concentrated on cutting vegetables and making vegetables.
I saw her cook the bean sprouts and celery in boiling water and remove the water, and then put the bean sprouts, celery, and shredded carrots in a large bowl, add oil, salt, seasoning, and seafood powder and stir well.
The seafood powder of this era was artificially made, a powder made from grinding various small fish and shrimp, and was used as monosodium glutamate in previous lives. This Xiao Qiqi can't find the so-called chicken essence, and can only use seafood powder instead, fortunately, there will not be much difference, plus the things made in ancient times are natural, much fresher than many things in the previous life, and much greener, and when the oil pan was fried out of the pot and put on the plate, Xiao Qiqi also tasted it, and felt that this refreshing and crispy silk was better than the previous one in taste.
"Well, it tastes good." When Xiao Qiqi tasted it by himself, he didn't forget to clip a chopstick to his son Xiao Xingchen. "Son, you can also taste it, how about your mother make this refreshing and crispy cold dish?"
"Naturally, the dishes made by my mother are the most delicious." Xiao Xingchen hadn't tasted it yet, so he slapped the sycophant first, and Xiao Qiqi smiled happily and pinched his face. "My son's little mouth is really sweet, but my mother doesn't have time to play with your son now, wait for my mother to cook all the dishes, and then come and hug my son and kiss my son."
"Mother, I still don't want it, there are so many people, my son is not young anymore, mother, you can't always hug me, kiss me, others will laugh when they see it." Xiao Xingchen finished tasting the refreshing and crispy silk, and hurriedly took the opportunity to help his mother serve the food, and hurriedly went out of the kitchen.
Xiao Qiqi, looking at her son's back, was amused and smiled and bent over, to be honest, her son put on a face, and when he was talking seriously, he was so cute, she really wanted to go up and hug her son and kiss him wildly, fortunately, she still remembered that her dishes were not cooked yet.
Hurry up, the follow-up work of the first cold dish, at this time the cucumber has been pickled for half an hour, and the water that has been decanted out of the pickle, Xiao Qiqi, take out the cucumber slices, and put them in a large bowl with red pepper and garlic slices, and then pour oil into the pot, put in the dry red pepper and fry the fragrance after the oil is hot, and then add some delicious soy sauce to fry into the sauce, and then pour the fried sauce on the top of the cucumber slices, stir evenly, and slightly complete the whole plate, and let the sweet girl take it out.
Originally, it would taste better to freeze it in the refrigerator for a period of time and take it out to eat, but unfortunately there is no refrigerator in this era, the kind of ice cellar, only the rich and noble can have it, and it is naturally impossible for a family like her to have such an ice cellar, if there is, I am afraid that it will be possible until she does not have to worry about money at all in the future, and now, it is still not so luxurious.
Thinking about shaking her head, Xiao Qiqi started her third cold dish, peanuts and celery mixed with dried tofu.
First cut the dried tofu into dices, add salt to the peanuts and star anise and boil for a while, then cut the washed celery into pieces, put it in boiling water to remove the water, take it out and then soak it in cool white boil, add a little salt, stir the sesame oil evenly, and put it on the plate.
As for the fourth plate of cold dishes is bitter gourd mixed with duck gizzards, the previous process of this dish has been completed when the first three cold dishes are made, duck gizzards with water and green onions, ginger and star anise are boiled for half an hour out of the pot has been cooled, peas, since they are peeled and cooked, they have passed cold water on the side, cabbage and bitter gourd, at this time cut into shreds, scalded with boiling water, and then go through cold water to get some water, and then cut the cooled duck gizzard into slices, put all the ingredients into a large bowl, put in minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sesame oil, stir evenly, and put on the plate.
Of course, considering the amount of food everyone, for fear that it would not be enough to eat like last time, Xiao Qiqi had double portions of each cold dish. At this point, the four cold dishes have been completed, Xiao Qiqi, and then began to prepare desserts, she felt that her son must be waiting very hard, so let's give him something to eat to fill his belly first.
When he went out to the kitchen, Xiao Qiqi wanted to ask his son what kind of dim sum he liked to eat, but he found that his son was staring at Chu Fengci opposite him with a cool little face, and the two of them could be described as staring at each other.
Speaking of Chu Fengci, in addition to being narcissistic, spending too much money, and acting too arrogantly, he still has his advantages in saving zài, such as his saving zài, which can save her a lot of money when buying things, and for example, the dishes he appreciates, if she likes it, she will definitely be generous, that is her God of Wealth, of course, she has to see it as an advantage. Besides, this person is arrogant, but he is still quite righteous, and he can distinguish right from wrong, although she talked to him about the terms of cooperation at the beginning, but no matter what, this person still helped her, which Xiao Qiqi is very grateful for.
It's just that right now, she saw her son and Chu Fengci looking at each other, and the atmosphere was really a little weird, so she persuaded Xiao Xingchen and said:
"Son, did my mother teach you, you can't look at people like this, it's impolite. Besides, don't worry, Gongzi Chu is also a person with status, and he won't be rude enough to move his chopsticks before the meal. Xiao Qiqi thought that Xiao Xingchen was protecting food, just like Su Liunian and Jian Wan last time.
I don't know the reason is not this.
"Mother, I'm not rude, really. It was this uncle, who had been staring at my face all the time, and he had stretched out his hand and swung my face around, looking horizontally and vertically, as if he was going to eat me. As soon as Xiao Qiqi heard Xiao Xingchen say this, she was immediately annoyed, at this time, she didn't care if Chu Fengci was her God of Wealth, and whether he helped just now, he provoked her son, she definitely had to stand on her son's side.
"Chu Fengci, you say, why are you staring at my son so strangely? I can tell you, you must not beat my son's idea, otherwise, I don't care who you are, anyone who dares to beat my son's idea, I will chop it directly here, believe it or not. Xiao Qiqi, who was already carrying a kitchen knife in his hand, said this, it was really a little infiltrated. I1483
