Chapter 34: Forget the Ancient Realm, Immortal Forest Residence, Enlightenment Cliff
Is the girl in the city so neat when she burns chickens and plucks their feathers?
Xu Wanning didn't know what these people were thinking, so after marinating the plucked chicken, she put it aside for later use.
She picked and chose among a pile of wild mushrooms, and in the end she only used hazelnut mushrooms. The traditional practice of chicken stewed mushrooms is to use dried hazelnut mushrooms to stew, so that the hazelnut mushrooms can be more flavorful and chewy.
But Xu Wanning chose fresh hazelnut mushrooms and soaked them in salt water.
Accountant Xu saw Xu Wanning add a lot of salt to a basin of clear water, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and whispered: "Xu Zhiqing, this salt is very valuable, and you have to use a salt ticket to buy it, so you can use it to soak mushrooms, isn't it too bad." ”
"Accountant Xu don't worry, the brine soaked in hazelnut mushrooms will not be wasted, and he will use it to stew soup later." ”
Accountant Xu wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the captain.
"Since the matter of the reception banquet has been handed over to Xu Zhiqing, let's do it according to her method. ”
After the preparations were done, Xu Wanning began to cook.
She first poured the soybean oil she had prepared in advance into the pot, and when the oil was hot, she added star anise, cinnamon and green onions.
It stands to reason that ginger slices and bay leaves should be added, but these two things cannot be bought for the time being, so they can only be omitted.
After all the seasonings were stir-fried, Xu Wanning added the chopped chicken and stir-fried over low heat until the chicken turned slightly yellow.
The captain stood at the door of the kitchen and saw Xu Wanning put in the ingredients one by one, obviously the steps of cooking were similar to those of their family, but the fragrance emitted was completely incomparable.
The chicken stewed mushrooms have not yet reached the mouth, but the fragrance that fills the air is extremely tempting, and even just taking a sip of the air mixed with this fragrance makes people salivate.
"Xu Zhiqing, how long will it take to get better?" Accountant Xu rubbed his hands and asked impatiently.
"I guess I'll have to simmer for two hours. "There is no pressure cooker, so we can only stew in the most primitive way, and in order to add more flavor, the heat must be in place.
While waiting, Xu Wanning made pork stewed vermicelli, pot-wrapped meat and casserole white meat in turn.
The casserole was bought by Accountant Xu in the town for three yuan according to the shopping list given by Xu Wanning. Because of this expenditure, several other village cadres complained a lot, but they were forcibly suppressed by the captain and the village head.
Xu Wanning first made pork stewed vermicelli, only adding two taels of pork to enhance the flavor, and the bottom of the pot is still mostly vermicelli and Chinese cabbage.
"After I came to Dajiang Village, it was the first time to make pork stewed vermicelli, and I don't know how it tasted, so you can taste it for me. ”
She didn't lie, it was indeed the first time she did it after coming to Dajiangcun, and she who won the Chef King Competition several times in her previous life is no longer what she is now!
The village chief was the first to clip a chopstick, and he felt nothing special when he took a bite, but the speed at which he put down the chopsticks was obviously much faster.
"Xu Zhiqing, when you made this pork stewed vermicelli just now, we stood on the side and watched, there was nothing special about it, why did it taste so good?"
He couldn't find a suitable word to describe the taste of the dish in his scarce arsenal of words, and he could only say that it was delicious.
It was better than anything he'd ever eaten before!
After taking one bite, I can't help but want to take a second bite, a third bite.
The captain and Accountant Xu didn't speak, just silently ate the vegetables, and after the village chief reacted, a large pot full of vermicelli was almost bottomed out.
"It's really weird, obviously there are a few slices of meat in it, but it seems that the vermicelli and Chinese cabbage have the flavor of meat, this taste is too positive, and it is better than the master chef of the state-run restaurant!"
Accountant Xu stared at the pot wrapped meat and the casserole white meat.
Pot-wrapped meat is also a famous snack in Hei Province, and everyone here has eaten it a few times, but the same taste is not quite the same as what they used to eat.
The taste is still the same, but it's just that it's different, and it becomes extraordinarily delicious.
"Don't waste this soup, it just so happens that my mother-in-law steamed black flour steamed buns today, and I used them to soak the steamed buns to eat. ”
"Leave some for me, and I'll take it back and cook noodles for the night. ”
Xu Wanning watched several people scramble for the soup of pork stewed vermicelli, hooked her lips and smiled, and brought out the white meat in the casserole.
The white meat in the casserole is made of real pork belly.
Accountant Xu didn't buy much meat, and he had to set aside tomorrow's portion, so Xu Wanning took advantage of the fact that a few people were not paying attention, and quietly transitioned some pork belly out of the space.
The space can be kept fresh and automatically replenished, so she doesn't feel distressed at all.
However, the amount taken out is not too much, so it is difficult to explain it to avoid being noticed by others.
"You eat first, I'll go see what's in the pot. ”
When Xu Wanning came out with the chicken stewed mushrooms that had been stewed, she only saw an empty casserole.
There was nothing left!
Xu Wanning didn't care, and put the chicken stew and mushrooms on the table.
The captain took a sharp breath and smiled, "That's the smell!"
This time, I don't know if it was discussed, but several people ate it with restraint, and basically only the hazelnut mushrooms were sandwiched, and the chicken was not moved.
"Is this chicken not stewed properly?Why don't I take it back and simmer it again?" Xu Wanning frowned secretly.
Although she hasn't used this kind of stove before, it's not so bad that she can't even handle the heat, right?
Yang Suhua, the women's director, pulled Xu Wanning to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "This is what we specially left for you." You see that you have been busy all day, and you can't even take care of the children at home, so when you leave, you will take it back and make up for the children. ”
Xu Wanning smiled dumbly, and excused herself: "Thank you for your kindness, but don't worry, I still have several chickens and ducks at home, and I can cook them for them at any time if the children want to eat them." Taste this chicken, if it's too firewood, I'll be able to regain control of the heat. ”
Hearing Xu Wanning say this, several village cadres glanced at each other. Even though they knew that it was not appropriate to do so, they still did not resist the seductive taste, each of them took a pair of chopsticks, and then gave a pertinent evaluation.
"Delicious!"
"This heat is too good, it's easy to get rid of the bones and not firewood. ”
"And the chicken is also very delicious, delicious and delicious!"
Several village cadres tacitly caught a chopstick in each of them and stopped moving.
Or by default, I want to give the rest to Xu Wanning to take back.
Xu Wanning still wanted to excuse herself, but she glanced at the children who were climbing the wall around the periphery of the team headquarters, and said, "It's better like this, I'll add some hazelnut mushrooms to it, get another pot out, and distribute it to the children." ”
In those years, every family had several children, but there were only so many food rations, and there was a fixed number of children to be distributed.
So, there are really few children who have eaten good food.
