Xue Wu replaced the steamed hairy crab with boiled cabbage, and the rock sugar yam with a silk yam.

Although hairy crabs are in season now, they are inconvenient to eat, and they are cold things, so I am afraid that not many people will really eat them.

After all, the guests who came to the banquet were either rich or expensive, and no one lacked that bite of crab to eat.

And boiling cabbage is a seemingly simple dish, but it is not at all easy to make.

Wash the old hen that has been killed, and the dried scallops that have been soaked, the washed ham hooves, pork ribs, etc. are put into different boiling water pots to blanch the water, remove the blood and impurities, remove and wash again, and then put them into the soup pot together, add water, ginger, and green onions to boil together over high heat, add rice wine after boiling, turn to low heat and boil slowly.

It takes at least an hour and a half, which is 3 hours.

At the same time, chop the chicken breast and lean pork into puree, add an appropriate amount of water respectively to make a porridge and set aside.

After the soup is boiled, use a colander to skim off all the soup residues and oil slicks.

Pour the clear soup into another pot, bring to a boil, put in the pork puree and stir well, wait for it to slowly disperse, the meat paste floats, use a small colander to clean the minced meat, then boil the soup again, divide the chicken puree into two times, treat it the same way as the pork puree, and finally completely separate the slag and remove the oil, wait for the soup to be fresh and clear as water, season with salt, and set aside.

Divide the soup into two pots.

Select the most tender cabbage hearts, put them in one of the pots of broth, cook them until they are seven ripe, cool them with water, puncture them repeatedly with a fine silver needle, put them in a soup bowl, and pour them down from top with another pot of broth, and the cabbage hearts in the bowl will bloom like flowers.

The soup in the bowl is as clear as water, and it looks like a fresh flower blooming in water.

Rock sugar yam is a sweet soup, but in fact, there is also a sweet soup in the dessert after the meal, which is a bit heavy, so Xue Wu replaced it with a silk yam.

In this era, there is no practice of "pulling wires".

Pu Songling, the author of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" in the early Qing Dynasty, once recorded: "The north is now entangled in fruit, and nothing can be glued with sugar." "It's about pulling wires.

And this time and space, since the end of the Song Dynasty, has turned a big corner, completely developed in the other direction, there is no back Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, many things appeared in advance, and there are many things that have not been invented, and silk drawing is one of them.

Xue Wu took advantage of this opportunity to let the silk reappear in the world.

Silk-drawn yams, silk-drawn apples, silk-drawn sweet potatoes, silk-drawn eggs, etc., this series of dishes can be born.

Personally, she likes the dishes of the Silk Drawing series.

After changing the menu, Xue Wu naturally had to do it again to let the Qin family feel it.

After tasting it, Qin was full of praise, and went back with the recipe on the spot to let the chefs in the house hurry up to learn these two dishes.

At Xue Wu's table, everyone was quite happy to eat, after all, the taste of the dishes was really delicious, especially Lin Yuzhu, who relied on the fact that she wore a gown to cover her stomach today, and she became more and more indulgent.

Fang Wenwen used chopsticks to pick up vegetables for her, and sprayed poisonous juice in her mouth: "I don't think you plan to get married, if you eat it again, you will really become a pig." ”

Lin Yuzhu was eating delicious food, and she didn't take her words seriously from her left ear and right ear out.

However, there is a person at the table who has a more prominent painting style, that is Zhang Ying, when others are eating with relish, she puts down her chopsticks before she picks them up, her brows are furrowed, and she has an expression of "this kind of dish is actually embarrassed to be put on the table".

It made everyone else a little unappetizing.

When the boiling cabbage was served, she laughed directly.

Ye Fu couldn't help it, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Ying glanced at the boiling cabbage, "Your Ye family is also rich, and you actually put boiled cabbage on the table?" Tut. ”

The last contemptuous tone was really infuriating.

Ye Fu put the chopsticks on the table and replied to her "hehe", "Some people like to treat ignorance as fun, but they still want to promote it to everyone, I really don't know what to say." ”

Xue Wu praised her (gén): "Afu, you are the master, you have to be magnificent, when you meet this kind of person, don't be like her." ”

Lin Yuzhu was drinking the soup, and when she heard the words, she sneered and almost squirted out the soup.

Ye Fu took the opportunity to ask her: "Yuzhu, do you know how this boiling water cabbage is made?" ”

Lin Yuzhu shook her head honestly: "I don't know, but I know that it is definitely not boiled cabbage, this is the old lady's birthday banquet, every dish on the table is exquisite, and it is impossible to serve boiled cabbage." ”

Ye Fu nodded appreciatively: "Yes, you still think clearly, some people claim to be well-informed, but they are just frogs at the bottom of the well." ”

A few people, you sang and harmonized every word, and Zhang Ying was so angry that she couldn't wait to lift the table and leave.

However, before she had a seizure, Lin Yuzhu took a boiling cabbage and ate it, "It's so fresh, the soup is fragrant, but it's not greasy at all, it's very refreshing, you can taste it too." ”

Others also tasted it, and they all praised it.

Zhang Ying sat there, not tasting, not tasting, and feeling annoyed in her heart.

At this time, Lin Yuzhu asked: "Afu, how is this boiling cabbage made?" How can you make ordinary cabbage so delicious. I used to be the least fond of cabbage, but I feel like I can eat this boiling cabbage for a year, no, a lifetime! ”

Ye Fu looked at Xue Wu: "I have to ask Sister Xiaoxian about this, this boiling cabbage is what she taught the cook in our house." There is also this sweet potato, which is also very delicious. ”

Xue Wu briefly said the recipe for the next two dishes, of course, this is not a recipe, in fact, even if the recipe is told to everyone present, few can really make that taste.

A table of young girls chatted quite vigorously on the topic of food, but Zhang Ying sat there with a gloomy face, as if someone owed her money and didn't pay it back.

After eating, it was time to cut the cake, which was the climax of the whole feast.

The three-layer cake made by Xue Wu was served to the old lady's table.

Nowadays, eating cake for birthdays has become a fashion in Fengchi, but it is the first time everyone has seen such a big cake.

In particular, the cake is also carved with fruit to carve the scene of "Eight Immortals Celebrating Birthday", and every immortal is lifelike, which is amazing.

The old lady looked at the cake, and she was a little at a loss, could it be that she wanted to cut the carving of the Eight Immortals He Shou Fruit?

The old lady couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she simply asked Haitang to invite Xue Yu over and throw the question to her.

"Xiaoxian, you see that you have made the cake so delicate and beautiful, I am reluctant to start, what do you say?"

The tone was rather scoundrel.
