Chen Er was very happy, "Let's just cook a dish today!" ”

Dou Yitong brought a plate of mutton.

Chen Er glanced at it and said, "After washing, soak it in crushed ice and water for five minutes." ”

Then go and tinker with other things yourself.

Chen Er took out a packet of salt, poured it all into the mash, and poured in half a packet of white sugar.

Carefully mash with a mash.

Dou Yitong soaked the mutton and ran over.

Chen Er asked him to bring a jug of water.

Then place the mash into a thick glass basin.

"You slowly pour water in."

Dou Yitong aligned the spout of the pot with the tamper and slowly poured water.

Chen Er's hand kept moving.

The mashed salt and sugar mixed with the water gradually gushed out and flowed into the thick glass basin.

Chen Er explained, "The most important part of the gourd leaf soup that the anchor is making now is to highlight the smell of the gourd leaves. However, the gourd leaves taste a little bitter, and if you don't pay attention to the balance of taste, it is easy to turn the whole dish into bitter and the flavor is not good. ”

"So, we need to work more on condiments."

"But the biggest advantage of the gourd leaf soup is that it tastes delicious, so we can't put too many condiments to steal the limelight, so we can only put salt."

Seeing that the salt and white sugar in the mash were all mashed, Chen Er motioned to Dou Yitong to take the boiling kettle.

Chen Er took the mash out of the thick glass basin.

The camera zoomed in, and fans saw a faint white transparent liquid in the glass basin, and there were faint fragments of white sand shaking underneath.

Chen Er motioned for Dou Yitong to come over and take a look.

"Mix white sugar and fine salt together in water, and then use the water to cook the soup, which will make the soup even better."

Fans nodded in understanding.

Then someone asked, "So, what the hell is a gourd leaf?" ”

Dou Yitong also hurriedly looked up at Chen Er.

Chen Er grabbed the small bamboo basket on the ground and put it on the table.

Pick up a small, green, tender oval, heart-shaped leaf from inside.

"Now, this is the gourd."

Everyone stared at the leaf in Chen Er's hand with wide eyes outside the screen.

It seems a little familiar, but I don't quite remember what kind of plant it is.

Dou Yitong also came over carefully and looked at it for a long time.

Then he suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Master! Gourd baby! ”

Chen Er looked at him.

He hurriedly waved his hand again, "No, it's the kind of leaf on the top of the gourd baby's head, this is the leaf of the gourd melon!! ”

Chen Er smiled and nodded.

Dou Yitong also laughed, and then took the leaf in Chen Er's hand that was not as big as the palm of his hand.

"This one is too small for me to recognize for a while."

And everyone had already laughed in the barrage.

"Hahaha, laughing! I almost thought that Chen Laoshi's little apprentice had seen the gourd baby!! ”

"Little apprentice: Shihu! Look! There's a gourd baby there! ”

Chen Lao smiled wetly: Is it better to steam the gourd baby or braise it?

Chen Er cleared his throat and handed Dou Yitong the gourd leaves of a bamboo basket and asked him to take it and clean a basket of it.

"Be careful, these leaves have just grown, and they are still tender, don't touch them."

Dou Yitong nodded in response.

Chen Er took out a purple casserole pot for stewed soup, put it on the stove, poured fresh stream water, and then picked a few pieces from the gourd leaves washed by Dou Yitong and put them in the pot, covered with a lid, and boiled over low heat first.

"Before we officially cook the gourd leaf soup, let's use the leaves to smell in the pot."

After doing this, Chen Er went to scoop up the soaked mutton, put it on the cutting board, and quickly dropped the knife, and cut it all into pieces.

"During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, steamed vegetables and stews were the mainstream. And this soup is a daily food. ”

"Just like in our modern society, scrambled eggs with tomatoes are a mainstream home-cooked dish, and during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, all kinds of soup were their mainstream home-cooked dishes."

Chen Er said while cutting the mutton, "And the gourd leaf soup that the anchor is going to make today is one of the representative delicacies in the meat soup during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties." ”

Once the lamb is cut, spread it neatly on a cutting board.

The blade in Chen Er's hand swiped against the cutting board, and he scooped up all the mutton and put it in the bowl.

Dou Yitong also cleaned all the gourd leaves.

Chen Er took out a handful of green onions as thick as two fingers, washed them, chopped them all, and put them in a bowl.

Then I washed my hands, came to the stove, brought the purple casserole down, and lifted the lid.

A faint bitter breath wafted out.

Dou Yitong moved his nose behind him.

I heard Chen Er talking, "The smell of the gourd leaves is fresh with a faint bitter taste, which is different from the smell of other ingredients, and there is no fragrance. ”

After pouring out all the water and gourd leaves in the purple casserole, the entire purple casserole was contaminated with the faint bitter smell of the gourd leaves.

Chen Er didn't wash the pot, but directly served the stove again, and put in the gourd leaves, mutton, chopped green onions, and gourd leaves in turn. Then pour in the water mixed with fine salt and white sugar.

Cover and simmer over low heat.

"You don't have to chop the gourd leaves, just put them in and stew them."

"Because the gourd leaves are all fresh young leaves, after a long time of boiling, they will be boiled and broken. This is also a sign that the gourd leaf soup is cooked. ”

"Generally, cooking for an hour and a half is fine."

As soon as Chen Er finished speaking, the bell at the door rang.

Thinking with his toes, he knew that it must be Jin Changsong urging vegetables.

Chen Er said, "Don't worry, I'll give him a small opening gift." ”

Shen Yinian hadn't walked into the kitchen yet, and when he heard this, he hurriedly turned around and went to the restaurant.

Chen Er took out a small blue gourd the size of a palm from the bamboo basket that had just been filled with gourd leaves.

Take the knife and start carving.

Because Chen Er cut the knife quickly and the knife edge was thin, Dou Yitong didn't understand what it was after looking at it for a long time.

Chen Er was carved quickly.

Put the small gourd on a small plate and put two leaves next to it to set it off.

Chen Er glanced at Dou Yitong, and he hurriedly rang the bell on the door.

Shen Yinian hurried over.

Chen Er handed her the plate.

Shen Yinian took the small gourd and put it in front of Jin Changsong.

Jin Changsong was stunned, "This is also for eating?" ”

Shen Yinian shook his head and said that he didn't know.

Jin Changsong simply stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed the small gourd.

As soon as he clamped the small gourd with his fingers, he heard two crisp "clicks" sounds.

The little gourd was like it had been stunted, and many cracks suddenly appeared on his body.

Jin Changsong was startled, and as soon as the chopsticks in his hand shook, a lot of melon flesh fell on the little gourd melon.

"What the hell is this?"

Jin Changsong was stunned and looked at a life-like little doll on his chopsticks.

Shen Yinian glanced at it, held back a smile and said, "This is probably, gourd baby......"
