In view of the fact that the system master has not issued a task recently, Liu Jiaojiao decided to relax her mood and try to brew rice wine herself.

Although her cooking skills are making rapid progress now, Lao Li Tou has not taught her how to make wine, and there is no winemaking method in the recipe given by the system, so she is really a novice in this area.

Why do you suddenly want to make sake? Because when I was in college, a girl in the same dormitory sold home-brewed rice wine at home, and every year when I came back from winter vacation, I would give a small pot of rice wine to my roommate.

It was the first time she drank rice wine, and it was sweet in the mouth, with a strong aroma of rice and a faint aroma of osmanthus flowers, especially when it was heated and drunk, it tasted too good to be imagined.

It's just that the stamina is a little fierce, and when I drank it for the first time, I was greedy for a cup, and I drank all the pots, and I had a headache all night.

When she graduated from college, she cheekily approached the girl, hoping to go to her house regularly to buy this rice wine, but the girl smiled bitterly and said that the family winery had closed down because it had been cheated, and her parents were heartbroken and decided not to make wine again.

It was then that she learned that every time this girl brought rice wine, her parents made it specially for their daughter, and the recipe had been greatly improved, and the rice wine on the market would not be brewed like this at all.

Only then did she understand why she thought this rice wine was particularly delicious, because it was infused with her parents' feelings for their daughter, which she had always been unable to achieve.

The longer I have come to this era, the weaker my memories of modern times become, but some things are deeply ingrained in my mind, such as the pot of rice wine filled with family affection.

When they learned that the little boss was going to make the sake himself, everyone in the shop became excited, especially the men.

I don't know why, whether ancient or modern, men are particularly interested in things like cigarettes and alcohol.

The delicious ghost Liu Shugen was the first to run out to find Liu Jiaojiao, and said with a shy face: "Jiaojiao, when will the wine be brewed?" ”

Before she started brewing, she was already thinking about it, and Liu Jiaojiao was speechless about the greediness of this product, and said angrily: "I don't know, this is my first time brewing, and I'm not sure if I can succeed." ”

"You're so smart, what's there you can't do? Rest assured, you will succeed! Willow Root patted his chest, a look of blind confidence in her.

"Huh." I really didn't know how to reply to him, so I simply replied with a smirk.

Niu Haoran walked over and directly grabbed the collar of the willow tree root and dragged him away.

It's true, but I just didn't notice this living treasure for a while, and I immediately ran out and was embarrassed.

Liu San also leaned over and said with a little regret: "Little owner, why do you want to make rice wine?" The wine is too light, it's boring, and it's a whole bit energetic, right? ”

Liu Jiaojiao replied with a smirk again, and waved her fist, "This is the most powerful, do you want to try it?" ”

Liu San hurriedly shrunk his neck, but still mustered up the courage to try to say a few more words to make her change her mind, Lotus came directly and pulled him aside, glared at him, and said to Liu Jiaojiao with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him, the rice wine is very good." ”

Liu Jiaojiao waved her hand impatiently and said, "Sister Lotus, you quickly drag him away, and let me see him again, I'm afraid my hands are itchy." ”

The proprietor's cronies are just treated like this, and the other guys are even more afraid to come forward, some are looking forward to it, and some are like Liu San, hoping that the proprietor can change their minds and make spirits.

Erhu didn't care, he was very happy that he could learn things from his master again, but after seeing Liu Jiaojiao's completely dark brewing process, he finally realized for the first time that his master was not omnipotent, and there were things that she couldn't.

However, this discovery did not make him less respectful of Liu Jiaojiao, but felt that the master was better to get along with, because she was just an ordinary person like himself.

After several failures, Liu Jiaojiao finally succeeded in brewing ...... Moromi grains.

That's right, it's not rice wine, it's mash, also known as sake brewing.

After trying a few more times without believing in evil, she decisively gave up the matter of winemaking, no way, some things really depend on fate, and she was destined to have no chance with winemaking.

As soon as Liu Jun arrived at the store, she saw Liu Jiaojiao lying on the table in a daze, with a big bowl of mash in front of her, and immediately understood that she had failed to make wine again.

Unable to bear to hit his sister's pride, he walked over and sat opposite her, took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick basket on the table, put some mash in his mouth, and then praised: "It tastes good, this is the best mash I have ever tasted." ”

Liu Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look at him weakly, pouted, and said, "No matter how good it tastes, it's just mash, not the rice wine I hoped." ”

"Jiaojiao, you're a chef, not a winemaker, and it doesn't matter to you if you can't make wine."

"Even though you're right, I still feel like a failure."

"Mash can be used to make mash syrup, it's delicious, it can be sold, what's there to fail?"

Liu Jun's words reminded Liu Jiaojiao, yes, mash can be used for cooking, and as far as she knows, people in this era only use it to make ordinary sweet soup or direct hot drinks, and no one uses it for cooking.

Steamed fresh fish in wine, braised pork belly in wine, dry roasted medium roll in wine, mash yam......

Oops, I really don't want to know, I was shocked when I thought about it, it turned out that mash can make so many specialties.

Liu Jiaojiao suddenly became interested, slapped the table and stood up, smiled brightly at Liu Jun, and said, "Brother, I have thought of a new dish!" ”

Liu Jun was startled by her sudden reaction at first, but after listening to her words, she couldn't help but be happy for her, and said with a smile: "My Jiaojiao is really amazing, it must be delicious." ”

Liu Jiaojiao, who was indulging in excitement, did not find the problem of his sentence "My family Jiaojiao", but nodded extremely happily: "It must be delicious, and this dish will use mash." ”

"Cooking with mash? Can it really be? ”

"Yes, this dish is called steamed fresh fish with wine."

This dish needs fresh sea bass, and it happens that there are two in the back kitchen tank, Liu Jiaojiao is an actionist, and she directly picked up the bowl of mash and ran to the back kitchen, instead of going to Lao Li Tou to try the dishes as before.

Liu Jun looked at her flying figure and seemed to run away, shook her head a little helplessly, and then rushed to Niu Haoran, who had been peeping on the side, and said, "It seems that we have a good fortune today, let's go and have a look." ”

For Liu Jiaojiao, several of them are respectful and convinced, but for Liu Jun, they are afraid and convinced, so in general, they are more afraid of Liu Jun, who has not spent much time in the store.

Now that they heard him speak in person, a few people could not bear it, so they ran to the back kitchen, especially the willow roots, which ran so fast that it was like a tiger chasing him behind.

Looking at the few people who rushed to the back kitchen, Liu Jun frowned with a little headache.

These people are also too unstable, can they really help Liu Jiaojiao by their side?

Thinking about it, the pace under his feet was also extremely fast, silently following those people.

As soon as he heard that Master was going to try a new dish in the store, Erhu, who had already packed up his things and was about to leave, was so excited that his voice began to tremble, "Master, Master, do you really want to make a new new dish?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao was in a good mood at this time, and quipped: "First, I am a master, not a master; Second, it is necessary to make new dishes, not new new dishes. ”

Erhu's swarthy face turned red all of a sudden, how strange it was to look red in the black, he scratched his hair embarrassedly, and said shyly: "Master, I was wrong." ”

"If you know it's wrong, kill me quickly, ask for perch, remove the scales and internal organs, and hit an oblique knife on your body." Liu Jiaojiao rolled up her sleeves and commanded without raising her head.

"Okay!" Erhu agreed very happily and immediately went to the water tank to catch fish.

Flower knife belongs to a technique in the chef's knife work, there are more than ten or twenty kinds of flower knives used in the fish alone, in addition to the simplest oblique word flower knife, there are common chrysanthemum-shaped flower knives used to make chrysanthemum fish, squirrel fish flower knives used to make squirrel fish, willow leaf-shaped flower knives used to make fathead fish and so on.

For a chef with excellent knife skills, the spacing of the half-finger knife pattern is about 5 mm, and the spacing of the one-finger knife pattern is about 1.5 cm.

Therefore, a good chef has very strict requirements for knife skills, and in order to continuously improve his knife skills and not be unfamiliar with them, chefs will take a certain amount of time every day to train their knife skills.

However, this is not needed for Liu Jiaojiao, who is pregnant with a plug-in, her body has formed a memory that is so strong that she naturally reflexes after Lingquan's long-term baptism, even if she doesn't touch the kitchen knife for ten days and a half and doesn't cook, her knife skills and cooking skills will not regress.

In this aspect alone, Liu Jiaojiao's cooking skills are almost invincible in this era.

After Erhu processed the sea bass, Liu Jiaojiao also handled the other ingredients almost well.

This dish requires mash, chopped melon, ginger slices, shredded ginger, shredded green onion and red pepper, the ingredients are few, and most of them are used to remove the unique fishy smell of fish, the key is the word "fresh", one is the freshness of the sea bass, and the other is the sweetness of the mash.

Liu Jiaojiao first dried all the processed fish with a clean cloth, then smeared rice wine and salt on the fish, and stuffed the mash into the fish's belly, not too much, two tablespoons are enough, if there is more, it will rob the fish of the umami.

After marinating the fish for about five minutes, she asked Erhu to fetch a large long-shaped plate that was just enough to fit the whole fish, and then spread a layer of ginger slices in the middle of the plate to base it, and then put the marinated fish whole.

After the fish is shaped, evenly sprinkle the chopped flower melon on top, then spread a shallow layer of mash, and then it can be steamed in the pot.

When the fish was about to be steamed, Liu Jiaojiao suddenly opened the lid of the pot, added some moromi to it, and then sprinkled the shredded ginger, green onion, and red pepper on the fish in turn, poured in some sesame oil, and then re-covered the pot.

In a short period of time after opening the lid of the pot and adding accessories, the aroma has already filled the entire kitchen, and almost all the people around Liu Jiaojiao can't help but swallow their saliva.

When he saw that the lid of the pot was ruthlessly covered again, the anxious willow root's eyes were almost red, and he said eagerly: "Jiaojiao, isn't it already done?" Why did you close the lid again? ”

"It has to be simmered a little longer." Liu Jiaojiao said methodically.

"Ah, how long will we have to wait? I can't hold on anymore! ”

"Soon, we'll wait."

Liu Shugen wanted to urge a few more words, but Niu Haoran covered his mouth and shouted: "If you still want to eat, shut up for me!" ”

Liu Shugen glanced at Liu Jiaojiao, and then at Liu Jun, who was expressionless but had accusations in his eyes, so he had to nod and shut up obediently.

Woo woo, it's really fragrant and I want to eat it, why wait so long? It's sad for him!
