Qu Niangzi came, drank a cup of milk tea, ate a cup of ginger and milk, and left a large wooden box of soft-hearted abalone as an apology, and left.

Han Chuan opened the box and looked at it.

I'm a good girl!

Twenty four-headed dried abalone are neatly arranged, the block is very large, thick and strong, heavy in the hand, and a layer of hoarfrost appears on the surface when you look closely, which is one of the signs of high-grade abalone.

Xiao Shuang'er swallowed his saliva, pointed to the slightly colored part in the center and asked Han Chuan, "Shopkeeper, why does this place in the middle look different from other places?" ”

Han Chuan picked one up and put it in a light-transmitting place, and the dark brown color in the middle of the dried abalone was like a sticky and soft beeswax.

"This is to select the big abalone for three or five days, take a dozen kinds of ingredients and boil them with water, three catties of ingredients for one catty of abalone, no longer add any condiments, the taste of abalone will be slowly wrapped in the body, and the taste of other ingredients will completely stimulate the abalone flavor, and the abalone flavor will be stronger."

Han Chuan looked at the abalone in front of the light, and sighed in his heart, Qu Niangzi gave up her wealth.

Su Ri Hanchuan also uses dried abalone into dishes, but I have never used such a good dried abalone - I haven't seen it since I left the palace.

This thing is common in the court.

The market was completely gone.

Even if you want to make it yourself, you can't buy a suitable and fresh abalone.

Good things are rare, Han Chuan called Lati and Cui Eryi to listen to the class, pointed to the center of the abalone, and taught, "After the abalone bubble after drying, this section is sticky and soft, and it will not condense into a hard system, and the texture is soft and tough when you enter the mouth, like a soft-boiled egg, and every bite has a little sticky tooth feeling, oh, just like eating rice cakes." ”

Little Shuang'er raised her hand.

He motioned for her to ask.

Xiao Shuang'er was puzzled, "Then why don't we just eat rice cakes and soft-boiled eggs?" ”

Lati touched her chin and fell into deep thought.

Cui Er also felt that it made sense, and looked at Han Chuan with sparkling eyes, waiting for a solution.

Han Chuan kind of wants to beat people.

But the high and low are the girls who choose themselves... You have to taste the bitter fruit you brew yourself...

But to be honest, a long, long time ago, Han Chuan also thought about this problem.

Shark fin tastes no different from vermicelli, bird's nest tastes similar to white fungus, although the taste of soft-hearted abalone is like rice cake and soft-boiled egg, but the taste is very different, and Han Chuan has eaten a vegetarian master's vegetarian performance, one of the abalone mushrooms, whether it is the taste or taste, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

So why do people chase the former?

Maybe it's because of identity.

People always have to show their differences through all kinds of external objects, such as officials wear silk, civilians can't, for example, scholars wear high buns, but those who do labor don't need to, and for example, saints wear bright yellow, if others wear it, it is a violation of the regulations, and the door is beheaded at noon...

If there is no external object to distinguish between them, how can we know who is expensive and who is cheap?

Even so, the words cannot be said to the three lesser ones.

Han Chuan tilted his head, and knocked his forehead one by one with a spoon in his hand, "Go, go!" This is a question that you can judge when you really eat it in your mouth! Cui Er cleaned up the hall, Shuang'er went to count the account book of 'Shi Tian', and Lati went into the stove house to prepare food! ”

Han Chuan scooped a spoonful of boiled cold water and put a dry abalone in it - Han Chuan plans to save ten, take ten out to entertain, if it is really good, then ask Qu Niangzi to purchase channels, "Shi Xian" is open to the present, there is still a lack of real town store dishes that can really calm the scene and stand up to pomp, it just so happens that Liuxianju is good at making Beijing cuisine, not good at cooking seafood, and it is not a collision in the choice of dishes.

If you want to promote new dishes, then you have to try the dishes yourself, and this is only for the guys in the restaurant to see the world.

Han Chuan soaked the dried abalone for two days, during which he changed the water every four hours, after soaking, use a sharp knife to remove the mouth and stomach and intestines, clean the mud and sand on the skirt and put it into a clean dish without oil, put ginger slices, green onions and some green and red wine, steam it on the fire and steam it for another hour, dry it naturally in the pot, and it is considered to be soaked.

After soaking for a few days, Xiao Shuang'er was worried about it for a few days.

Xiao Shuang'er squatted in front of the water tank for soaking dried abalone, with his back to the door, leaving a thick and majestic back.

Seems persistent and lonely.

Cui Er looked at Xiao Shuang'er's back, not worrying, "... The clothes that I have just made will definitely not be able to wear again. Shuang'er doesn't grow tall, only flesh. I've changed her clothes several times... After this year, I will have to change the size again. ”

Han Chuan was also a little worried.

Han Chuan was mainly worried, afraid that Xiao Shuang'er would drip saliva into the water soaked in dried abalone, and everyone would not be able to eat it at that time.

Xiao Shuang'er looked forward to it for several days, but she couldn't imagine killing her, and in the end she didn't even catch a drop of abalone juice.

Hanchuan cooks soaked abalone in the simplest way.

He killed an old hen, took a large piece of pork belly, cut a pork rib, took a large bone, a pig's trotter, a chicken claw, and soaked the scallop and cut the cured ham and put them together. The chicken splits the fork with a bone surface at the bottom, afraid that the meat noodles will stick to the bottom of the pot, and then put in all the ingredients that have been fried, spread the abalone with the size of the palm on the surface after soaking and put multiple pieces of ginger, fill it with boiling water and sweet soy sauce, the soup instantly turns white, the aroma is overflowing, from the morning to boil deeper, the juice gradually shrinks, and before approaching the stove house, it is a strong fragrance that can not be ignored and jumps into the nasal cavity with a domineering attitude.

Seeing off the last group of diners, Han Chuan carefully fished out the abalone with a chopstick in one hand.

Mama Zhong did not eat when she was outdated, and she had little interest in Bao Xin, so she went to bed early after checking the account book.

The three small ones, like cats guarding the fishy and dogs guarding the bones, stared at the palm-sized abalone between the two chopsticks.

Little Shuang'er swallowed with difficulty.

"What is this doing? So fragrant. ”

There was a voice in the cloister.

Han Chuan's hand was steady, and he hurriedly put the abalone on a clean plate and turned his head to look.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but laugh.

It's Xu!

It's been a long time since I've seen him!

It's been almost a month!

Last time in the Mid-Autumn Festival, after eating a meal of crabs, Xu Yi didn't even go home, so he rode on a horse and went to Tianjin Wei on an errand!

For so many days, except for Xiao Su coming back and saying a few words from time to time, bringing some food and a message, he didn't even have a figure!

Han Chuan was happy in his heart, "You're back!" Do you still go to Tianjin Wei?! Is it all done? Did you go to the ministry to hand over the errand? Did you go to the palace to say hello to the saint and the concubine? ”

But when he saw that Xu Yi was still wearing an official uniform, stepping on cowhide official boots, and his beard was stubble, he had neither cleaned his face nor changed his clothes, so he laughed again, "You just went back to Beijing?" ”
