Chapter 21: The Golden Jade

After Lin Shuqing scooped up the fried tofu fruit, he began to scoop up the oil again.

Leave a little oil in the pot, cut some green onions and garlic and throw them down to stir-fry until fragrant, and throw a few peppercorns.

A numb and fragrant smell suddenly burst in the kitchen, Wang Zhan sniffed, sneezed, and the smile on his face was even bigger.

Lin Shuqing put in the beef foam that had been prepared a long time ago, and the texture of the beef was delicate, which was the most suitable for this dish.

Beef in these years was a rarity, because cattle were important livestock used to cultivate the land, and few people killed cattle to eat meat, and only did it when the cow died of old age or fell ill.

There is also beef in the kitchen, but there is not much of it.

Wang Zhan looked at it, Lin Shuqing cut the beef into such fine pieces, thinking that Lin Shuqing was saving meat for herself.

When the beef is out of the pot, the aroma is even stronger.

Lin Shuqing poured some soy sauce into it again, there is no soy sauce in this kitchen, and there are no chili peppers, so making mapo tofu must be much worse.

I cut two pieces of ginger and threw them into the pot, which made the flavor richer and a little spicy.

After the base was ready, Lin Shuqing scooped a scoop of water into the pot. When the sauce-colored soup in the pot is bubbling, cut the tofu into pieces and put it down.

Cover the pot and cook until it is cooked through.

Tofu was meant to be eaten as is, without having to cook it for too long, and she did it to make her taste good.

Cooking it for too long will ruin the shape of the tofu.

Lin Shuqing calculated that the heat was almost up, so he put the tofu up and put it in front of Wang Zhan.

"Shopkeeper, you taste it, is it okay?"

Mapo tofu is a well-known national dish, and it is spicy and refreshing, which can be popular all over the country, and it also proves that it can meet the taste of many people.

Wang Zhan was not polite, and took a bite directly with chopsticks.

In his mouth, it was full of fresh, spicy and smooth, and it was the first time he had tasted it because one dish could gather so many flavors.

Wang Zhan was naturally full of praise for this dish, but he was a little curious about the fried golden tofu over there.

"Girl, this beef tofu dish is very good, is the tofu over there also doing the same?" Wang Zhan couldn't wait to ask.

"This dish is called mapo tofu, which is numb and fragrant."

"This is fried tofu, let's call it bean fruit, this is for other dishes! I'll wait for it to cool ......," Lin Shuqing said, trying the temperature over there.

Wang Zhan didn't delve into why he was called Mapo, his eyes were straight when he watched Lin Shuqing cooking, so naturally she was what she said.

I took a knife, cut the edge of the bean fruit, and pulled out the tofu inside, leaving a yellow skin.

She looked at the rest of the house, cut some radish, mountain mushrooms, wild vegetables, cabbage, shredded meat, and tofu, all cut them into small cubes, stirred them with salt, and added them to the golden bag, and found a green onion to tie it up.

This one by one was made and boiled with the leftover mapo tofu soup in the pot.

Once cooked, serve and place delicately on a plate.

"This dish...... It's called a full house! You boil some of this soup base with bones and radish, it takes time, so I won't make it! Lin Shuqing said.

Wang Zhan tasted another one, this dish made him smile both in appearance and taste, with these dishes, why worry about his restaurant not being popular?

Thinking about it, this Miss Lin must be the descendant of a big family, although she is dressed plainly, but her style and bones and extraordinary cooking skills must be more than the current predicament.

Wang Zhan was not polite, and spoke directly: "Is Miss Lin interested in staying here as a cook?" These dishes are sold at a high price, and the money earned belongs to you, and I will pay you every day! ”

"Give an extra 100 ...... a day"

Wang Zhan gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

Being a chef and cooking for others is something Lin Shuqing never thought about. She earns a lot every day by selling tofu, and she has younger siblings at home, so she can't stay in the county every day.

"Thank you for the kindness of the shopkeeper, I live more than ten miles away, there are no adults at home, and my younger brothers and sisters are young, I have to take care of them every day!"

"There is a small courtyard in my city, there are four or five rooms in it, if Miss Lin wants, she can move to the courtyard and go back every day after cooking......

Wang Zhan offered lucrative conditions again.

Giving food and housing to a big house and paying money, cooking a few dishes a day, and the daily salary has exceeded the monthly salary of many people.

If it had been before, when she was working at the institute, she would definitely be very excited. But now she is not alone, and she can't plan for her alone.

"Shopkeeper Wang, if you don't know anything about cooking, you can come and ask me, I ......understand my kindness," Lin Shuqing refused again.

Although she is really poor, she has no net worth of 100 yuan.

Lin Shuqing ruthlessly refused, although she wanted it very much, but she firmly believed that her future was long-term.

Wang Zhan seemed to have a plan in his heart, and he was not surprised by Lin Shuqing's answer.

Tidying up the smile on his face, he said, "The girl gave me so many dishes today, and I also want to give the girl a dish." ”

As he spoke, he caught a live fish from the fish wandering in the tank beside him.

Skillfully pick up the back of the knife to stun the fish, skillfully remove the scales and gills of the fish, remove the head and tail, and remove the bones.

This fish bone is not to cut out the fish meat, but to remove the entire fish skeleton neatly and completely.

The fish is not wasted, and the skin is peeled and sliced into snow-white flakes.

After cutting, the fillets are placed on the neatly chopped fish bones with layers underneath.

All the edible parts of the fish have been retained, and the shape of the fish has been restored, and it has been transformed into a snowflake fillet with a silver glow!

The whole process of deboning and slicing can be called miraculous, and Lin Shuqing's eyes are a little straight.

"My father was valued by the head of the family because of the excellent work of this fish belly, I learned a little, and I was not outstanding, I only did half of the golden jade, barely a jade belly, and I was ugly in front of Miss Lin." As he spoke, he pulled out a small jar from the locked cabinet in the corner of the kitchen.

Scoop a spoonful of the sauce and place it on a small saucer next to the fish.

Lin Shuqing took the chopsticks and added a slice, the crystal clear and reddish fish meat, stained with some sauce on the plate. The fish is fresh in the mouth, smooth and tender with sour and crispy sweetness, and the taste is sweet and fragrant for a long time.

Thin as cicada wings, as thin as scattered snow, as thin as silk.

This is what people often say, "I don't get tired of eating, I don't get tired of fine", it's really delicious!

It's not that she hasn't eaten sashimi in her previous life, but what kind of salmon is it, and the popular foreign raw eating mode is called sashimi or something.

No matter what, she felt that the taste and craftsmanship could not be compared with the one in front of her.

Is the artwork in front of her good?

She also understands that in fact, in this era, it is not that there is no good food, nor is it too backward, but she is too poor to afford to eat.

Lin Shuqing ate half a plate of fish with tears in her eyes, it was delicious. It's that the fish is raw, and it's hard to digest if she eats too much, so she has to weigh her stomach.

But she also has a curiosity......
