Xiao Zhang and Meng Chuan, who left the hospital, went directly to the vegetable market, and Xiao Zhang asked, "Squad leader Meng, what are you cooking at noon today?" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Meng Chuan said: "Platoon Commander Duan has a broken arm now, so I'll make a red date and yam pork rib soup, so that he can absorb more calcium and get better quickly." ”
Police flower Xiao Zhang hurriedly said: "This soup is good, it sounds very good." ”
When Meng Chuan first walked into the vegetable market, he suddenly found that there was no money in his pocket, it turned out that when he entered the army, there was some money in his wallet, but the wallet fell in the marching bag, and now he is empty-handed, what to buy ingredients.
Meng Chuan looked at the pretty little police flower next to him, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, I was in a hurry just now and forgot to bring the money, can you lend me some first, and when I return to the hospital, I will return the money to you." ”
Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "Squad Leader Meng, what you say is out of sight, Platoon Commander Duan was injured in the line of duty, no matter how you say it, we should pay for it, how can you break the bank, you say you need to buy something, I'll buy it." ”
Hearing Xiao Zhang's words, Meng Chuan was not hypocritical, anyway, it didn't cost much to buy vegetables, so he would let this little policeman eat more.
Because Meng Chuan wore regular clothes, the little police flower Xiao Zhang also wore regular clothes, the two women were beautiful and the men were handsome, as soon as they entered the vegetable market, they attracted the attention of all the vendors, and a lady selling pork next to him shouted: "Handsome guy, beauty, come and see this pork, it was just slaughtered today, and it is all fresh." ”
Meng Chuan looked at the color of the pork, it was indeed freshly slaughtered, so he said, "Xiao Zhang, let's go to this shop." ”
Xiao Zhang nodded, okay, let's go here.
Meng Chuan pointed to the ribs and said, "Auntie, how much are these ribs." ”
After the lady who sold pork reported the price, Meng Chuan felt that it was a bit expensive, so he said: "Auntie, I'll go around elsewhere." ”
The lady who sold pork saw that the two of them were leaving, and hurriedly said: "Comrade, I'm giving you two yuan cheaper, this price must be the lowest in the market, don't you see it." ”
If it is two yuan cheaper, the price is appropriate, Meng Chuan immediately said: "Then thank you Auntie, you can weigh me two catties." ”
After the ribs were weighed, Xiao Zhang took out the money to settle the bill, and the eldest lady took the money and said while making change: "Girl, this young man is very good, the financial power is handed over to you, so that life can go on, a man can't be rich, and if he has money, he will become bad." ”
Meng Chuan and Xiao Zhang were very embarrassed when they heard their aunt's words, but it was not easy to explain, Xiao Zhang took the change and Meng Chuan quickly left the butcher shop and went to other vegetable shops, and walked for a long time, neither of them spoke, or Xiao Zhang broke the embarrassing atmosphere and said, "What ingredients are we going to buy?" ”
Meng Chuan's face was also thin-skinned, he pointed to the vegetable shop in front of him, and said, "Red dates and yam pork rib soup, let's just go buy some yams and red dates." ”
Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said, "I still have red dates at home, so I don't need to buy them, just buy some yams." ”
Meng Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, then go buy two yams." ”
Soon the dishes were bought, and then I returned to Xiao Zhang's house, Xiao Zhang's house is a rented single apartment, the house is not big, but it is very exquisite, whether it is wallpaper or furniture, it is a warm pink, it seems that this little police flower girl feelings are still very serious.
Meng Chuan didn't care about observing Xiao Zhang's house, and the speed of boiling soup was already slow, so he had to start cooking quickly.
Xiao Zhang's family has a rice cooker, it will be easier to make rice, Meng Chuan made rice for three people, Xiao Zhang saw Meng Chuan adding rice to the pot, and hurriedly said: "Squad leader Meng, I don't eat much, just drink some soup later, you don't have to make too much rice." ”
Although Xiao Zhang said so, Meng Chuan still added three servings, anyway, there are two young men here, are you afraid that you won't be able to finish the rice.
Steaming rice in a rice cooker is simple, Meng Chuan has very strong control over rice and water, and can definitely ensure that the steamed rice is not soft or hard, sweet and delicious.
After the rice is stewed, it's time to start cooking, Xiao Zhang watched from the side of the kitchen and asked, "Squad Leader Meng, do you need me to help you?" ”
Meng Chuan looked at this little police flower, and it was estimated that he was also the master of the spring water with ten fingers, so he said: "Xiao Zhang, there is nothing to do to cook a soup, you go and rest for a while, and call you when I am ready." ”
Xiao Zhang also planned to learn from Meng Chuan, the leader of the cooking squad of the division, and was willing to rest, Xiao Zhang said: "Squad leader Meng, I also want to learn to make soup, and I can cook and eat by myself when I am alone at home in the future, can I watch you do it." ”
Meng Chuan nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem, I'll explain it to you while I'm doing it, so that you can learn faster." ”
Meng Chuan first took out a soup pot, poured water to heat, and then began to process the pork ribs and yams, the pork ribs Meng Chuan cut is not very large, because there is not much time left for Meng Chuan to stew meat, and it is easier to taste when cut into small pieces.
Because Xiao Zhang's family only has a knife, Meng Chuan didn't dare to use hard when chopping pork ribs, but cut it along the texture, without damaging the blade of the knife at all. ”
After the ribs were cut, the water in the soup pot was also boiled, Meng Chuan first put the ribs in hot water and copied them, skimmed out the foam and blood, and then fished out the ribs, and after replacing a new pot of water, he continued to start heating.
When Xiao Zhang saw Meng Chuan, he fished out the ribs and hurriedly asked, "Squad Leader Meng, is your time in the water a little short?" ”
Meng Chuan shook his head and said: "The time of passing through the water should not be too long, otherwise the nutrition of the ribs will be lost, and the meat will be much older, so you must grasp the heat when crossing the water, not too long." ”
When Xiao Zhang heard Meng Chuan's words, he hurriedly found a piece of paper and wrote down the main points.
Then Meng Chuan began to process the yam, first scraping off the outer layer of the yam, then cutting it into pieces, after cutting it, sprinkled a little salt on it, and put it in clean water to soak.
Then Meng Chuan cut the jujube from the middle with a knife, and before Xiao Zhang asked why, Meng Chuan said: "I'm just making the jujube taste better, if you usually have enough time, you don't need to cut it, just stew it slowly." ”
The water soon boiled again, Meng Chuan put the ribs and red dates into the pot and began to cook, Meng Chuan also cut a few pieces of ginger slices and put them in, if you don't put ginger slices in the stew, it is undoubtedly a big mistake.
Because Meng Chuan didn't have much time, he picked up the spoon and started stirring with a special technique, so that the ribs could be cooked quickly and blend with the aroma of red dates as soon as possible.
Because of Meng Chuan's special technique, it only took fifteen minutes for the fragrance to come out, Meng Chuan watched the color of the ribs change, picked up the yam and put it in the soup pot and began to stew.
After all, Duan You is sick, if there is too much oil and the taste is bigger, it will definitely not be suitable for Duan You's recovery, so Meng Chuan added a little salt to adjust the taste, although he only added a little salt, it looks light, but the aroma of yam and red dates mixed with the aroma of meat is not weak at all.
Xiao Zhang smelled this fragrance and had a great appetite, and asked without the slightest ladylike look: "Squad Leader Meng, should we send it to Platoon Leader Duan first or let's eat it ourselves." ”
Duan You can be regarded as his friend of life and death, how could Meng Chuan eat it first, so he said: "Xiao Zhang, in this way, I will leave a little for you, and then I will carry the food box and go to deliver food to Duan Platoon Leader first." ”
When Xiao Zhang heard Meng Chuan's words, he hurriedly said: "Forget it, how can I eat alone by myself, Squad Leader Meng, I'll accompany you to send it together, and then everyone will eat together." ”
Okay, then let's hurry up, the soup should be drunk while it is hot.
