Chapter Seventy-Two: The Taste of Home II

"Ahhh~ Let the guests smile." The wife tidied up her clothes in a panic, and found that she was wearing pajamas, and it was the same no matter how she sorted it out, so she quickly bowed and apologized, "It's really rude for me to do this, the guest is here to dine, please wait a moment, I'll prepare it for the guest now... Ahem. As soon as the words fell, he leaned against the wall and coughed violently, Kuriyama Mirai hurriedly stepped forward to support his mother, and asked with concern, "Mom, are you okay, sit down and rest first." He helped Mrs. Kuriyama to sit down in the store, and Uncle Billy handed over the boiled water in time.

"I'm sorry, but I can't prepare lunch for our guests due to feeling unwell." Mrs. Kuriyama took a sip of boiled water and said regretfully. "It's okay, I've already eaten Miss Future's food." Jiang Yunfeng scratched his cheeks and said with a smile. "Ahh Mrs. Kuriyama hurriedly put down the water cup and stood up excitedly, "Future!" How can you serve food like that to a guest, really! Looking at Jiang Yunfeng nervously, he asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable there, do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Jiang Yunfeng saw that Mrs. Lishan's face was unusually flushed and her breathing was short of breath because she was too excited, and hurriedly comforted, "I'm fine, it's okay!" Mrs. Kuriyama doesn't have to worry, but Miss Future's cooking skills really need to be improved, and I'm about to teach some skills," he showed his student ID to Mrs. Kuriyama, and said, "Madame, don't worry, I'm a student of Tozuki, and I've come to Akihabara to complete my field training." ”

"Cuisine famous Yuanyue Chaliao. Then the little girl is guided by you."

"There, don't dare, don't dare!"

After the politeness, Jiang Yunfeng put on an apron, but he couldn't stain the beloved shirt on his body, and asked Kuriyama Future, "Miss Future is planning to make croquettes, right?" Kuriyama Mirai nodded and said in frustration, "Well, but no matter how hard I try, I can't blow up the look and taste of my mother." Jiang Yunfeng patted Li Shan Mirai on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, as long as you work hard, one day you can be like your mother." Next you see. Jiang Yunfeng picked up the beef filling on the table, took out the pork filling from the refrigerator, mixed it in a ratio of seven to three, stirred well, and explained, "This is the first mistake your croquette makes, although the pure beef filling tastes pure, but it has high requirements for the frying temperature. Therefore, if you want to mix a certain amount of pork filling, you can also reduce some costs. Kuriyama Mikura, like a studious student, carefully observed the goose on the side, afraid of missing a step, and carefully wrote it down in a small notebook.

Jiang Yunfeng added chopped onions, SPG (garlic powder, pepper, salt) to the evenly mixed meat filling, poured a certain amount of sake, beat an egg, mixed well and set aside for later use, began to cut cabbage, peeled apples, and then explained, "Here, you made the second mistake, you can't just add salt to the meat filling, since you want to fry it, you must remove the fishy, SPG and sake can remove the fishy smell and improve the freshness, and the egg can make the meat filling more tender." But it takes time to do all this, so stir well and let it sit for a while. You can use this time to prepare side dishes. Preparing the cabbage and apples, Jiang Yunfeng pulled over the large basin containing the meat filling, scooped up the meat filling with both hands and lifted it, and then slammed it into the basin. Repeat it many times until the mincing becomes moist, and then explain to Miku Kuriyama who is puzzled, "I looked at it just now, why the meatloaf you fried before is always broken, because you add flour paste to the minced meat, not starch, after frying, the flour will become crispy and can't stick the patty firmly from the inside, and the starch is crispy on the outside and tough on the inside, which can achieve the effect that flour can't achieve, this is your third mistake." Now there is no starch here, so I can only 'break the pulp' to break out the moisture and gum contained in the meat filling, and the starch effect has been achieved. "Grab a piece of minced meat, knead it into a round ball with both hands, and then pat it back and forth between your left and right hands, and after the patty is formed, dip it back and forth in the egg mixture a few times, and then roll it in the breadcrumbs until both sides are covered with breadcrumbs, and then put it in the pan along the edge of the pan to fry it. After completing all this, Jiang Yunfeng explained to Kuriyama Future, who was already stunned: "Just now, I slapped the meatloaf back and forth to make the inside of the meatloaf tighter, squeeze out excess air, and prevent bubbles from being generated during the frying process, resulting in uneven heating inside the meatloaf and affecting the overall taste." Give it a try. "Let's give up my place to Kuriyama Future.

Uncle Billy, who had been sitting in the store and watching Jiang Yunfeng and Kuriyama in the future, had a nostalgic smile on his face, and said to Mrs. Kuriyama, "It's really like, just like Ah Sheng taught you to make croquettes back then, in a blink of an eye, Ah Sheng has been gone for almost 10 years." Mrs. Kuriyama took a sip of water, looked at her clumsy daughter who threw the meatloaf on the ground and Jiang Yunfeng, who was holding her forehead with her hand, with a helpless face, and replied with a smile, "Yes, it's really like, Ah Sheng used to teach me how to make cooking like this, although Ah Sheng was dropped out of school by Yuanyue, but he didn't give up cooking when he transferred to our high school, but... Finally, he took the tissue handed by Uncle Billy, wiped away the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, stabilized his mood, and continued, "Although Ah Sheng is gone, he left the future, I am really derelict as a mother, and I actually let the future carry the burden of this store." Uncle Billy didn't speak, just patted Mrs. Kuriyama on the shoulder.

After some tossing, Kuriyama Mirai finally mastered the trick, slapped all the meat filling into shape, and under the guidance of Jiang Yunfeng's hand, all the eggs and breadcrumbs were glued and fried in the pan. Jiang Yunfeng stirred the apples on the salad dressing, put them on a plate with the cabbage, put them aside for later use, saw that the meatloaf in the oil pan began to show golden brown, so he adjusted it to low heat, and after frying for a while, the surface of the meatloaf bulged slightly, so he took it out and put it on the oil blotting paper to control the excess oil, let it cool slightly, and put it together with the apple salad and cabbage that had been loaded before, and squeezed the tomato sauce on the meatloaf at the end, "Done" Jiang Yunfeng walked out of the counter with a plate, put it in front of Mrs. Kuriyama and Uncle Billy respectively, and said, "The croquette is set to eat a special version, Please use slowly. He also returned to the counter and served a bowl of rice, and hurriedly calmed his stomach, which had been wailing for a long time.

Mrs. Kuriyama picked up the croquettes and brought them to her mouth and bit them gently, the crispy breadcrumbs on the outside made a crisp sound of "click", the soft meat filling inside melted in her mouth with the cooperation of the juice, and the surrounding space rotated, wearing her high school uniform, sitting on the cooking table in the cooking classroom, shaking her calves, pouting and complaining to the boy who was making the croquettes next to her, coquettish, in exchange for a gentle smile and coaxing the child's tone, forming a beautiful picture in the sunset, the second bite, I was already a white-collar OL in the night, dragging my tired body after working overtime back to this small shop, opened the door, and the regular customers in the store got up to say hello, and I also replied frequently, and walked to the innermost exclusive seat, in the counter, the man also brought a plate of croquettes to accompany the apple salad and cabbage in front of him, and the tone was slightly reproachful and counted down that he didn't eat on time when he worked overtime, and he was holding the man's neck and dangling back and forth, and the man had no choice but to turn around and take out a can of beer from the refrigerator in the back and put it next to the croquette. The wedding ring on his left hand exudes the same light as the wedding ring on his ring finger, no matter where he goes, no matter how tired he is, there will always be a man waiting for him to come back in a place called home, and then serve the croquettes that have been prepared long ago, so that he can replenish his energy, eliminate the fatigue of the day, and enjoy his own taste, a taste called home.

"How?" Jiang Yunfeng, who had his stomach full, walked out of the counter and asked Mrs. Kuriyama and Uncle Billy how they felt about their dishes, "It's worthy of being a student of the famous Yuanyue Tea House, it's delicious!" Uncle Billy's muscles bulged, and he felt like he was about to break the T-shirt on his body, and he gave a thumbs up and a smile on his face. Hehe. Poor hospitality! Jiang Yunfeng smiled dryly, silently distanced himself, and Mrs. Kuriyama smiled quietly, "It's delicious, it reminds me of a lot of past things, my husband used to be a student of Yuanyue." ”

"Oh~~, my wife is the wife of my predecessor, so dare to ask where my predecessor is now?"

Mrs. Kuriyama smiled miserably and said softly, "My husband has passed away in an accident for 10 years. ”

Jiang Yunfeng hurriedly bowed slightly and apologized, "I'm sorry, I asked a question that shouldn't have been asked, which aroused your sadness, but the deceased is gone, and my wife should please mourn and cheer up." Mrs. Kuriyama smiled and waved her hand, signaling that it didn't matter, after Kuriyama had eaten the croquette, she came to Jiang Yunfeng with bright eyes, and said excitedly, "Master!" You are so good at cooking, please teach me so that I can share my mother's worries when she is not in good health! Jiang Yunfeng scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Ha~ Okay, I'll study on the spot in Akihabara, and I'll guide you when I have time." Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to look at the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was about to be time to report, Jiang Yunfeng hurriedly picked up the backpack full of posters, picked up the figure and the game collector's edition, took out the report notice and handed it to Mrs. Kuriyama, and asked, "Where is this store, how should I get there when Akihabara is so big?" It's almost time to report! Uncle Billy took the notice, looked at it and said with a smile, "'Cat House', it's just across the street from my shop, and I'm going back to the store, all the way." With that, he got up and left the izakaya, and after Jiang Yunfeng left the food money, he also bowed and said goodbye.

"Uncle, when you first entered the izakaya, you said that someone came to harass you?" Out of the Chinese's sense of justice and the chivalrous feeling of 'drawing a sword to help each other when the road is uneven', Jiang Yunfeng asked as he walked. "Oh, there was a person who wanted to buy an izakaya, but it was the inheritance left by Mr. Kuriyama, and Mrs. Kuriyama said that she would not sell anything, and after the negotiations failed, people kept coming to make trouble, and you also saw that Mrs. Kuriyama was frail and sick, and the future sauce was still young, and it was all thanks to the help of the neighbors that those people did not succeed." Uncle Billy replied smoking a cigarette.

"There is such a thing! Then why don't you call the police? ”

"It's all ruffians, they run when the police come, and as soon as the police leave, they come back and continue to make trouble, and they can't prevent it! But it doesn't matter, don't look at me like this, I used to be a member of the GCP Paratrooper Commando of the French Foreign Legion, and it's okay to clean up a few gangsters! ”

"That's good, if they find a cook to start the halberd, uncle, this is my phone, call me then!" Jiang Yunfeng took out his mobile phone and returned the number to Uncle Billy.

The two walked for a while, and Jiang Yunfeng saw his field training shop, the maid café called 'Cat House' mentioned on the Internet, "Si Guoyi!" A lot of people lined up, and it was said on the Internet that it was very popular, and it was much more powerful than what was said on the Internet! Jiang Yunfeng looked at the wall of people in the queue and was amazed, Uncle Billy pointed to the shop with '18X' written on the curtain at the door of the store across the street, and said, "That's my shop, I have time to sit down, but Uncle reminds you to be careful when you study in the 'cat house', it's very dangerous inside!" ”

Jiang Yunfeng said disapprerovingly, "It's all a soft maid lady, what danger can there be... Before the words fell, there was a loud bang, the window of the 'cat house' shattered, and a fat abandoned house flew out upside down and rolled and rubbed on the ground, and finally stopped in front of Jiang Yunfeng...
