Chapter 77: Full Altar of Incense
This Chu Fengci wanted to be able to eat the long-lost Buddha jumping over the wall, but he didn't want to get entangled with Mei Changqing, and at the end, he added.
"Also, Mei Changqing, you remember one sentence for me, don't think that you can threaten me with her three or four times, and the master will endure it every time, sue you, I really provoke the master, if I do anything, your ten Mei Changqing will not be enough for me to practice."
After warning Mei Changqing, Chu Fengci, seeing Xiao Xingchen, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu came back from school, so they hurriedly took the three children to the small hillside to practice martial arts.
Of course, there is one reason why he doesn't want Mei Changqing to hang around in front of him, and another reason is that as Xiao Qiqi said, waiting to eat delicious food is a very difficult and painful thing, so in order to divert his attention, he still finds something to do, and what he can think of right now is to take his three children to practice.
As for Mei Changqing, seeing that Chu Fengci was the first to strike, he blocked the words to him in advance, and even that handle did not threaten him, so it can be seen that Chu Fengci is serious this time.
And his seriousness, judging from Mei Changqing's understanding of Chu Fengci's actions, also means that this guy's feelings for Xiao Qiqi are not ordinary, and as soon as he thought of this, Mei Changqing's jade-like eyes sank, his brows furrowed deeply, and there was a nameless anger brewing in his heart, as if it was burning his heart.
These feet should have stepped out of the door, but they inexplicably turned around and walked towards the kitchen where Xiao Qiqi was located step by step.
At that time, Xiao Qiqi was busy preparing the ingredients for Buddha jumping over the wall, she rummaged through all the ingredients she bought in the past two days, and found that the top raw materials needed for Buddha jumping over the wall, abalone, shark fin, fish lips, fish maw, that was nothing, and chicken, duck and fish meat were bought, and seafood was also bought a lot, Xiao Qiqi originally planned to make a seafood dinner at night, if you want to make Buddha jump over the wall, a dish will take more than three hours, I'm afraid there is no need to do a seafood dinner tonight, a Buddha jumping over the wall is enough.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qiqi called Zhang Cuihua and Sweet Niu to help, cleaned up more than 18 kinds of raw materials such as chicken, duck and fish, and prepared them properly, and then, Xiao Qiqi asked Zhang Cuihua to find a big wine jar for her, preferably Shaoxing wine jar, and then buy some Shaoxing wine back, and then with the help of Tianniu to burn the fire, she used a variety of methods such as frying, stir-frying, cooking, and frying to concoct various dishes with its own characteristics, and then waited for Zhang Cuihua to bring the wine jar over.
The tweed of Zhangcuihua, ran to many households, and finally found a big Shaoxing wine jar and Shaoxing wine, that wine jar, Mrs. Liu was still unwilling to lend Zhang Cuihua, Zhang Cuihua still spent five cents to buy it.
"Oh, Qi Niang, Shaoxing wine jar, right?"
"That's right, it's indeed a Shaoxing wine jar, thank you for your hard work, Cuihua." Xiao Qiqi looked at the wine jar carefully, and smelled the residual aroma of wine, it was indeed right, it was the Shaoxing wine jar.
"Originally, I saw that you haven't come back yet, and I want to call Tianniu to come over to find you, even if there is no Shaoxing wine jar, it can be okay with other wine jars, but I didn't expect you to be found, it's really rare."
"It's really rare, I broke my leg to find the Shaoxing wine jar you want, but this Shaoxing wine jar is only the next one in Mrs. Liu's family, just her son-in-law and daughter sent to honor Mr. Liu, this is not half of the wine, I asked that Mrs. Liu to buy this half of Shaoxing wine, she is good, very stingy, even a wine jar with me to settle accounts, and finally I simply bought such a wine jar with five cents. It's not worth it. Zhang Cuihua spit bitter water, feeling that it was too expensive to buy such a wine jar with five cents, but Qi Niang needed Shaoxing wine jar to cook, so she gritted her teeth and bought it back.
"Listening to your tone, I'm angry, it's hard for you, Cuihua." Xiao Qiqi patted Zhang Cuihua's shoulder with some embarrassment.
"I don't feel embarrassed about anything, but I can't get used to the old thing, you say that Mrs. Liu's person is an old woman who drills in the eyes of money, and she likes to be stuck with you, the more you need something, the more she likes to be stuck with you, it's really unlucky, a few families with a better relationship with my family don't have Shaoxing wine jars, other wine jars do, and this Mrs. Liu's family just has such a Shaoxing wine jar, you say, it's not angry." Zhang Cuihua spread her hands and criticized Mrs. Liu very dissatisfied.
As for Xiao Qiqi, he smiled and persuaded her.
"Cuihua, you should think like this, then the reason why Mrs. Liu even wants to sell a wine jar to you for money, maybe her family is so poor that she can't open the pot, and she needs your five cents to fill her stomach, so, you should relieve her, thinking that saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, thinking like this, are you a little better."
Poofโโ
Zhang Cuihua listened to the poofs and laughed out loud.
"It's really yours, Qi Niang, you can still think so. However, if I really think so, I feel a lot more comfortable, and I have the right to help a beggar on the side of the road. โ
"Yes, if you think so, your heart will be relieved, and you will feel comfortable. In other words, people, a life is long, but in fact, it is also short, and I don't know when I went, so ah, if you live for a day, you have to make yourself happy for a day, you say that you are happy for a day, and if you are unhappy, you are also a day, so if you want to choose how to live, isn't it obvious? As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely like to choose to live a happy life every day. I, too, think so, that is, to have fun and make my life better, which can be regarded as happiness in suffering and happiness in sorrow. โ
Xiao Qiqi said, while frying, stir-frying, cooking, and frying more than 18 kinds of dishes, layer by layer in the Shaoxing wine jar, poured an appropriate amount of soup and Shaoxing wine, and then added dark soy sauce, salt, rock sugar, chicken essence, bay leaves, fennel, cinnamon, etc., be sure to make the soup, wine, and vegetables fully integrated, and then seal the mouth of the altar with lotus leaves and cover it tightly, and put it on the fire to heat.
The use of fire is also very particular, first boiling on the fire, and then slowly simmering on the simmer for more than two hours, which is considered to be a great success.
After the pot is released, the sealed lotus leaf is uncovered, and the aroma is overflowing, attracting everyone to follow the aroma.
Just as described in ancient times, "the fragrance of the altar and vegetables floats around, and the Buddha abandons Zen and jumps over the wall."
Speaking of which, this Buddha jumping over the wall, also known as Mantan incense, Fu Shouquan, is a famous dish of the Han nationality in Fuzhou, Fujian, and belongs to the Fujian cuisine.
According to legend, it was a group of idle literati and writers in ancient times who created this ingenious metaphorical famous dish in the middle of play.
Because "Buddha jumps over the wall" is to simmer dozens of raw materials in one jar, it not only has a common meat taste, but also maintains its own characteristics. It tastes soft and tender, rich and fragrant, and meat but not greasy; Each ingredient penetrates into each other, and there is a taste in the taste. At the same time, the nutritional value is very high, and it has the effects of replenishing qi and nourishing blood, clearing the lungs and moistening the intestines, and preventing and treating deficiency and cold.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the aroma of Buddha jumping over the wall has alarmed the meditating people, the delicacy has shocked the inner courtyard of the imperial city, and the fame has spread to all corners of the world, impressed the picky tongues of many gourmets, including Xiao Qiqi, a gold medal chef, and her specialty dish has this Buddha jumping over the wall.
Therefore, there are no top-quality raw materials, so she uses some alternative ordinary seafood varieties, no abalone, shark fin, fish lips, sea cucumber and fish maw, she uses flower ha, clams, scallops, oysters, crabs, and then clams, prawns, duck meat, pig's trotters, pork belly, upper row, duck gizzards, hoof tendons, quail eggs and other more than 18 kinds of raw materials.
In addition, when serving at the table, Xiao Qiqi also served a dish of radish with turnips, a dish of mustard, a dish of bacon mixed with bean sprouts, a dish of fried bean sprouts with mushrooms, and then served with silver silk rolls and sesame baked cakes.
That Chu Fengci smelled the fragrance of the Buddha jumping over the wall, and his peach blossom eyes were bright, and he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes.
"Qiqi, your Buddha jumping over the wall looks richer and more delicious than the Buddha jumping over the wall I ate for the first time, this taste is simply amazing, the best, the best." Chu Fengci felt that his mouth was full of fragrance after taking a bite, and he stretched out his thumb towards Xiao Qiqi with a smile.
The others looked at Chu Fengci in astonishment one by one, they were not only shocked by the delicacy of this Buddha jumping over the wall, but also shocked by Chu Fengci's name for Xiao Qiqi.
After all, he had always called Xiao Qiqi Mrs. Xiao before, but now, he called her by her name.
Even Xiao Qiqi, when she heard Chu Fengci call her name for the first time, she was still stunned, and then she remembered, as if she had told him before that they were friends, so Chu Fengci changed her name, but it was nothing.
Thinking of this, she smiled indifferently and replied to him.
"yes, it's guaranteed to taste good, it's my specialty, and it's naturally excellent. It's a pity that the raw materials are still a little worse, if there are shark fins, abalone, fish lips, fish maw, sea cucumber and other top ingredients, then this Buddha jumping over the wall is even more delicious. Xiao Qiqi's natural response made everyone else present except Mei Changqing and Xiao Xingchen feel that they seemed to be thinking too much, and they didn't think about it at all, it was just a title.
What's more, this Buddha jumping over the wall is so delicious, everyone's minds are all on this delicacy, and they naturally forget about the episode just now.
Of course, this dinner is naturally enjoyable, one by one, the stomach is a little stretched to the point or desperately stuffed into the mouth, the table etiquette is nothing at this moment, everyone grabs food just like the common people, unceremoniously, especially Chu Fengci, that is the soup in the jar of Buddha jumping over the wall is almost all round, and it is all drunk.
