Chapter 152 The East Slope Full of Memories Under the Elbow
Erina Nagikiri put down the tableware, looked at the watch on her wrist, got up and bowed slightly to everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I've already reviewed it here, and I'm going to go to the next classmate, so I'll take my leave first." After speaking, after glancing at Jiang Yunfeng, he made a gesture to Xinhu Scarlet Sand, and then took the lead in leaving the Polestar Liao kitchen. Jiang Yunfeng, who was putting the pot with clean water on the stove to heat it, obviously felt that Erina Nagikiri's eyes just now contained deep meaning, and it was inconvenient to say it in front of everyone. So he took off his apron and wiped his hands, and said loudly, "I'll send you!" He then left the kitchen.
Jiang Yunfeng, who came out on his heels, really saw Erina Nagikiri standing alone by the iron gate of the Polestar Liao courtyard wall, and the little secretary Xinhu Scarlet Shazi didn't know where to go. Then he walked to the side and asked with a smile, "Miss, give the little one a look, is there any special command for the little one to come out?" Erina Nagi just glanced at Jiang Yunfeng and didn't answer. made Jiang Yunfeng's smile very embarrassing. The eerie silence lasted for a few minutes, and it was only when Scarlet Sand Shinto appeared in front of the two of them in a luxury car that it broke the eerie atmosphere.
After the car stopped, Shinto Sago came out of the cab with a briefcase and opened the rear door, and Erina Nagikiri quickly got into the car to confirm that Erina was seated and the back door of Scarlet-chan was closed. Instead of returning directly to the cab as usual, he walked up to Jiang Yunfeng, took out a white envelope from his briefcase that looked like it contained a pile of thick things, and handed it over. Jiang Yunfeng took the envelope and asked confusedly, "What's in here?" ”
Shinto Scarlet smiled and replied, "I don't know, I don't know, if you open it and see, you can find out, if you have any questions, go and ask Erina-sama for advice." With that, he trotted back to the cab. Jiang Yunfeng was helpless, tore open the envelope, and found that it contained a thick stack of large-denomination exchange coupons printed with plum blossom patterns. A rough estimate of the value of millions of yen, I was suddenly confused, and Erina Nagikiri, who didn't let go of her mouth a few days ago, stuffed herself with such a thick pile today. So he came to the side of the car, and just wanted to reach out to the window glass and lowered it himself, opening a gap just to reveal half of Erina's peerless face, eyebrows and green mountains, and double pupils cut water.
Jiang Yunfeng flipped the envelope in his hand and was interrupted just as he was about to open his mouth: "If you lose money at the school festival, you should know very well what the result will be." If the turnover is not enough, it will be used to fill the vacancy. With that, he raised the window and drove smoothly away from Polestar Dor. Jiang Yunfeng looked at the envelope in his hand blankly, suddenly shook his head with a smile, put the envelope away, and shouted to the car that was going away, "I will stew the 'Dongpo elbow' in a thermos box and send it to the Shijie Council to make lunch for the eldest lady!" ”
Jiang Yunfeng, who returned to Polestar Liao, put the voucher in his bedroom before returning to the kitchen. At that time, Ling Zhendong had already left, saying that he had satisfied his appetite and returned to Yuanyue Resort, and no longer continued to accompany Tang Daoyin to find the lost youth. Da Mido Wenxu also said that he was old, so he didn't toss with his gang of young people, and went back to the administrator's room to rest. Everyone else left one after another, and only Kohei Soma, Megumi Tadoko, and Dojima Silver were left in the huge kitchen, waiting for Jiang Yunfeng to show his memories.
"Everyone's gone?" Jiang Yunfeng teased while putting on his apron again.
"Yes, none of them are interested in your past, Feng." Kohei Soma chuckled, "I'm not interested either." ”
"Then why are you staying, why don't you hurry up and practice your Sichuan cuisine."
"I'm staying because I'm interested in the dishes you're going to show, and as for the practice--, now that I've passed the review, there's no need to keep practicing intensively, what I need now is to conserve energy."
"Okay, let's quickly let us see Jiang Yunfeng's cooking." Dojima Silver interrupted the two who wanted to continue to lose each other with a smile. Jiang Yunfeng smiled and nodded, picked up the pork knuckle and first burned off the remaining pig hair with a blowtorch, and burned the pig skin by the way. All the pork knuckles are treated with flame and then pushed into the sink, where the kitchen knife scrapes off the carbonized material from the skin and scrubs them clean. Sprinkle a little peppercorns, a few tablespoons of cooking wine, crushed ginger, and half a green onion in boiling water. Blanch all the pork knuckles in a pot and skim off the blood foam. When the elbow is blanched to three layers, take out the kitchen knife, and skillfully remove the leg stick bone on the premise of ensuring the overall integrity of the elbow.
The blanching iron pan was replaced with a clean pan. Jiang Yunfeng poured an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil into the pot. Heat until there is green smoke, first put the old ginger slices, stir-fry the green onions, then add star anise, cinnamon bark, tangerine peel, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves also fry together to make a fragrance, pour into the stone mortar and crush, gauze wrap for later use. The pan was removed and replaced with a large casserole. Jiang Yunfeng first put a wide-hole sieve made of fine bamboo strips at the bottom of the casserole, spread a large handful of chives and ginger, picked up the pork knuckle, and put a cross knife on the skin. Arrange a circle in a casserole, stuff the prepared spice packet in the empty space in the center, and cover the pork knuckle that has not been put in. From under the counter, he took out a 20-year-old Shaoxing Huadiao wine sponsored by the administrator of Polestar Liao, Dayutang Wenxu, smashed the mud seal, and tore the yellow paper. The strong aroma of wine began to spread in the kitchen. Jiang Yunfeng picked up the wine jar and poured it into the casserole, until the whole jar of rice wine was poured out, the liquid level was just over the pig's elbow, Jiang Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction after careful observation, and then sprinkled two large pieces of rock sugar weighing half a catty into the casserole, and after the fire boiled, turn to low heat and cover the pot lid and simmer slowly.
Tian Suohui witnessed the whole process and was surprised that Jiang Yunfeng didn't put salt and water in the whole process, so he asked, "Jiang Jun, is it really okay to only use Huadiao wine to stew without adding water?" Jiang Yunfeng shook his finger and replied, "Tsk~ Xiaohui, you don't understand, adding water is the most taboo when making Dongpo meat and Dongpo elbow, and according to the ancient method, it is simmered slowly with rice wine over low heat, right?" Dojima seniors. ”
"That's right!" Dojima Silver nodded slightly, "After several hours of slow simmering of rice wine, the pork can become crispy, and it should be noted here that it is crispy and not soft." But Jiang Yunfeng, is this 'Dongpo elbow' your dish full of memories? ”
Jiang Yunfeng nodded and replied, "That's right, this is the dish I made when I made a meal for the first time in my life, and it is also my sister's favorite dish." ”
"Si Guoyi~~!!" Kohei Sojin and Tanzo Megumi glanced at each other, and they all expressed their shock, "Jiang Jun (Ah Feng) is really powerful, and it is such a difficult high-level cuisine as soon as you get started." ”
Jiang Yunfeng smiled indifferently, just thinking of his sister and falling into deep thought again. Compared with his sister, his appearance is simply frustrated at home, not at all like a pair of sisters and brothers, and last month he finally mustered up the courage to call his cheap father in this life to ask about his sister's life experience. There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and about ten minutes passed, and Dad Jiang Tian let out a sigh and told the secret that had been hidden for ten years. It turned out that as he expected, Jiang Yutong was really not his own sister, it turned out that his sister Jiang Yutong was the daughter of his father Jiang Tian's comrade-in-arms. The story happened on an afternoon ten years ago, after cracking the landmark case of the big tiger falling off the horse, the net was also roughly completed, the father as an undercover comrade-in-arms is taking a family during the trip, unfortunately was the remnants of the wandering big tiger to seek revenge, the comrade-in-arms and his wife were killed in front of their daughter, when the gangsters wanted to attack their sister, the younger brother stepped forward to protect his sister, and unfortunately died. Hearing the news, the father who led the team to kill all the gangsters angrily, found his dying sister in a pool of blood.
After the all-out rescue of the provincial hospital, my sister's life was finally saved. But after experiencing the tragic death of his parents and younger brother in front of him, he was hit by a great mental blow, and once reached the brink of collapse, his father had no choice, in order to keep the last trace of blood of his comrades, he had to use hypnosis and psychological suggestion to transfer himself and his wife to his sister's parents who passed on his sister to his sister's name to Jiang Yutong, and also turned his son Jiang Yunfeng into her younger brother.
After listening to his father's narration, Jiang Yunfeng finally understood the origin of the scar under his sister Jiang Yutong's left rib, and the reason why he had such an almost paranoid spoiling and deformed love for his sister and brother. And this 'Dongpo elbow' is the first time the two met after my sister was discharged from the hospital, and my parents were busy with their own business, and Jiang Yutong, who was only 8 years old at the time, showed the talent of 'kitchen saboteur'. There was no way that Jiang Yunfeng, who was only 6 years old, could take on this burden and make this dish according to the pictures.
As for why my sister Jiang Yutong went to Japan to study at the University of Tokyo, there is actually a reason, at first Jiang Yutong wanted to apply for the Public Security University in Beijing and become a policeman like his father, but his father and mother strongly objected. The relationship was very stiff for a while, and in the end, it was instigated by his mother that Jiang Yunfeng wanted to study in Yuanyue under the pretext that Jiang Yutong really passed the entrance exam of the University of Tokyo and came to Japan to study.
After learning all this, his father Jiang Tian asked Jiang Yunfeng what he would think of his sister in the future. Jiang Yunfeng chuckled lightly and replied firmly, "Let her go in the past, now I only know that Jiang Yutong is my sister Jiang Yunfeng, and her father's name is Jiang Tian and he is the director of the Provincial Public Security Department." Mother's name is Han Fei, the chief helmsman of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Jiang Tian also laughed when he heard this answer.
The touch on his arm interrupted Jiang Yunfeng's thoughts, and the voice of Kohei Chuangzhen came from his ears, "Ah Feng, what are you thinking?" I was in a daze for more than an hour. ”
"Ah~ is it?" Jiang Yunfeng hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the casserole, still muttering in his mouth, "Don't paste the pot... (To be continued)
