Chapter Seventy-Three: Boiled Water with Spicy Chicken......
The guys in the back kitchen were all smiling when they saw her, and everyone saw Chen Yao's drinking yesterday, so they teased Jiang Yu: "You were also drunk later?" Hahaha, did you wake up at this time? ”
Jiang Yu rolled his eyes and made an exaggerated expression: "That's right, I was drunk by the stamina, and I haven't woken up yet, so I'll come to the back kitchen to scare and scare you." ”
The guys laughed, because Chef He was busy in the back kitchen, and he was afraid that he would be unhappy to see them laughing and playing during working hours, so he teased a few words, and stopped chatting. Jiang Yu was boiling water in the small stove next to him, preparing to cook noodles. Because they all knew that Jiang Yu went to take care of Chen Yao last night, everyone tacitly divided Jiang Yu's work and helped her do it first, so that she could have breakfast with Chen Yao and then come to work.
Although I don't know if Chen Yao made a fuss after that, it is estimated that she took care of it very late, and it is the family of two girls, so it is nothing to take the initiative to help.
The freshly boiled chicken broth has a faint light golden color, and there are some oil flowers floating on the soup noodles. Chef Ho doesn't like soup bases that are too greasy, so he carefully skims off most of the fat every time, leaving only a shallow layer for heat preservation. However, this is just right for cooking noodles, and the fat will wrap the noodles, so that the noodles are not easy to condense into lumps; At the same time, the soup base does not look greasy and even has a sweet taste. When the noodles were cooked, Jiang Yu scooped a large spoonful of soup into the noodle bowl and covered it with two wooden lids - it was still cold now, and it couldn't be cold when I brought it back to the room, and the soup was greasy and not delicious as soon as it was condensed.
Chen Yao is a foodie, and he doesn't have any special taste requirements, so Jiang Yu has no scruples, and sprinkles a little chopped green onion into the cooked soup to taste. She also fished out two pieces of meat from the pot of chicken soup, and ate one piece with Chen Yao later, plus noodles for breakfast. The chicken soup was still piping hot, mixed with the hot noodles, and the umami was suddenly aroused, and she couldn't help but sniff.
It smelled so delicious, she didn't feel hungry at first, but as soon as this umami came out, Jiang Yu heard the sound of her stomach "gurgling".
She still often eats soup somen noodles in modern times, here, it is probably the first time, after all, there are too few shops willing to use old hens with red dates and wolfberries, and a little medicinal herbs to make soup, even if there is, the price of that noodle, before, Jiang Yu could not afford to eat.
And Jiang Yu eats the same thing as the guys on weekdays, and there is nothing for breakfast, just some light white porridge and side dishes, steamed buns, etc. She is breaking the fast with Chen Yao today.
When the two bowls of steaming chicken noodle soup were brought back to the room, Chen Yao was suddenly sobered up by the fragrance. She lifted the quilt suddenly, and didn't care that she was about to get out of bed to eat noodles before she washed, Jiang Yu patted her on the head: "Hungry cat!" Wash your face and eat again! ”
Chen Yao stuck out her tongue and didn't care too much, but she still obediently went to wash. It takes a lot of time to boil a pot of mellow and rich chicken soup, and you need to pay attention to the heat at any time, only Chef He has insisted on doing this, and this chicken soup has become one of the most important features of Xiangmanyuan.
Because of this, Chen Yao eats less chicken noodle soup at home - she always feels that there is no fragrant soup from the garden - she usually comes to the restaurant to eat two bowls. Today, not only did she drink the fragrant old chicken soup, but she could also eat the chicken noodle soup made by Jiang Yu for her! It's going to be delicious!
The two girls quickly cleaned up and sat down facing each other. The chicken soup is very fresh, with a hint of Chinese medicine and red dates, and a slight sweetness of wolfberry. Thanks to Chef He, who has already skimmed off the fat, even if Chen Yao eats in a hurry and drinks a big mouthful of soup, he doesn't feel tired-it's better to eat the soup noodles while they're hot.
The noodles were cooked crisply, and Jiang Yu walked fast, so he didn't become sticky and soft because of soaking in the soup, but absorbed enough soup and became delicious and chewy. If this had been someone else, it would definitely not have been able to cook so delicious...... Chen Yao thought contentedly, and stretched out after eating a big bowl of noodles.
"Eat! Go to the back kitchen, I'll clean up the dishes. ”
Jiang Yu has to work, and he can't be like her. Chen Yao waved his hand to "push" Jiang Yu back to the back kitchen, the latter nodded, didn't shirk much, and handed over the rest of the dishes and chopsticks to Chen Yao - anyway, the two of them are already very familiar, and no one will take this little thing to heart.
When Jiang Yu returned to the back kitchen, He Hao kept secretly looking at her. After a lot of times, even if Jiang Yu didn't care about it at first, he had to react in the end, and when he turned his head and looked at He Hao's expression that wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to laugh a little - he definitely wanted to ask Chen Yao how it was.
She was busy with the work at hand, and happened to go to He Hao to get something, when she heard him say cautiously: "Jiang Yu, that...... How is Chen Yao? Did you wake up? ”
Jiang Yu said in his heart that it had been a night, could he not wake up? Sure enough, he was concerned and asked such a question, but well, it also reflected He Hao's kindness. For Chen Yao's sake, she didn't plan to point it out, she just smiled and said, "It's much better to sleep well, she didn't drink much in the first place, but I can't let her drink anymore in the future." ”
This one is quite scary. If you don't watch it, drink more, and something happens, that's the real trouble.
He Hao snorted, as if he had something to say but couldn't say it, and he twisted and pinched. Jiang Yu couldn't cry or laugh, how could he make him look like a girl, just ask if he wants to, can she still eat him?
Jiang Yu took the initiative to say, "What's the matter?" ”
"No, no, it's okay...... Jiang Yu, go to work, she's fine. ”
"You care so much about Yaoyao!" Jiang Yu finished taking the things and didn't forget to tease He Hao. As expected, He Hao's face turned red all of a sudden, he didn't answer Jiang Yu's words, lowered his head and hurriedly went about his own business.
Alas, it would be nice if Chen Yao didn't like Yang Xuan. Jiang Yu thought regretfully, although He Hao looked a little shy, he really cared about Chen Yao, if Yang Xuan was replaced, if he could remember to cook a bowl of sobering soup when Chen Yao poured a cup yesterday, it would be good!
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yu didn't like Yang Xuan even more. But this is Chen Yao's own business, she doesn't have much to say, so she is busy leaving it behind.
Probably influenced by Jiang Yu's enhanced version of spicy chicken, the guys in Xiangmanyuan have been in a lot of energy when they have been working recently, and it is difficult to say whether they were spicy or because of the effect of distraction and began to work hard. Although the gloom brought by Barilla still affected them somewhat, the dish still seemed to boost morale.
In private, someone secretly asked Jiang Yu if he could do it again? Although it is quite spicy, it is suitable for drinking, and the more you eat it, the more you will get better.
Jiang Yu also asked the shopkeeper Chen's opinion. When the shopkeeper Chen was also there when he tried the dishes that day, he was also good at drinking, and he was the one who ate the most at that time. Shopkeeper Chen didn't say a word, and directly asked Jiang Yu to change the recipe, and put the menu according to her improved taste. Since this dish is suitable for sake, it will be sold with the sake, and maybe more people will like to eat it by then.
This was exactly what Jiang Yu wanted, she happily responded, turned her head and said hello to the guy who bought it, bought more chicken and condiments and came back, and made another meal of spicy chicken for everyone to eat.
Although this spicy smell spreads throughout the kitchen and makes people cry, I have to say, cool! The guy who bought it also happily agreed, and when Xiangmanyuan closed in the evening, everyone didn't leave, and they all waited for Jiang Yu to make spicy chicken. They all looked at her with blank eyes, as if they were looking at some hope.
Jiang Yu was so amused by them that he calmed down after a while, the knife rose and fell, and his hand was still steady.
Jiang An also came back from Jishitang and looked at Jiang Yu at the kitchen door. He was still young, and although he was greedy, he couldn't stand the choking spicy taste, so he was choked at the door and coughed repeatedly, and took several steps back. These days, he has also become familiar with the guys, and someone turned his head and just happened to see it, and picked up Jiang An and let him ride on his neck, and observed Jiang Yu cooking up close.
This startled Jiang An, and soon became happy again, Jiang An covered his nose with one hand, supported the man's head with the other, and looked at it probingly.
The spiciness is gradually not as strong as before. Jiang Yu put the fried vegetables into a large plate and brought them out, everyone sat in the lobby and ate spicy chicken together, someone brought wine, everyone touched each other, chatted and bragged. Jiang Yu also looked at them with a smile, a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Chen Yao was hungry for wine next to her, but she didn't dare to drink it, so Jiang Yu specially instructed the guys. She could only watch, drinking white water and drinking spicy chicken, hey, the spicy chicken without wine always felt that it was a little less flavorful.
Chen Yao couldn't help but sigh in her heart, why isn't she a massive! Just a cup to pour!
Chen Yao inhaled as she ate, and her speech was a little slurred: "This dish will definitely be able to compare with Baiweiju!" Hiss...... It's spicy to death. ”
Jiang Yu hurriedly poured her a glass of water, Chen Yao took the cup and poured it down in one go, only then did she feel that the spicy taste on the tip of her tongue had subsided slightly: "Their spicy chicken doesn't have this taste!" ”
"Whatever I do, you think it's delicious." Jiang Yu was happy, sandwiched a piece of potato in Chen Yao's bowl, and ate some non-spicy vegetarian dishes to relieve the spiciness. According to modern terms, Chen Yao is simply her brainless fan, the type of person she says is delicious in everything she does, Jiang Yu wants to be the day when her cooking level is not as good as now, I am afraid that Chen Yao will still eat happily.
"I can't say it's delicious! Really. However, Uncle He is not very good at eating spicy food, so he probably can't make such a spicy dish. Chen Yao nodded.
Jiang An also ate with tears in his eyes, inhaling and drinking water. It's so spicy! It's spicier than the food he ate at Wang Shaoci's house. But thinking about this, he hasn't seen Wang Shaoci for a long time, and he doesn't know if he's back, or if he still has something to do at home......
