Chapter 009: Fish Head Tofu Soup
Slice the tofu and slice the green onion and ginger.
Wang put the cleaned fish back on the vegetable pier, and the head of the fish was separated from the fish.
Then use a knife to split the head of the fish in half from the middle.
Compared with Wang's Mali's action, Lin Wei's strength in chopping the fish was much worse, and it took some effort to chop the fish head.
The rest of the fish was cut into pieces and marinated in rice wine, green onions and ginger for a while, and while the pickling was done, Wang began to teach her the first course.
"This first dish, my mother will teach you to make fish head tofu soup."
Lin Wei and Gu Xiaolian's eyes widened, watching Wang's every move intently.
Heat the oil into the pan, stir-fry the green onion and ginger until fragrant, and with a bang, the fish head slides into the bottom of the pan and slowly frying until golden brown on both sides.
Only then did Wang pour the boiling water prepared in advance into the pot from the pot on the side and cover the fish head.
Add ginger slices and green onions to boil over high heat, and the fresh fragrance of the fish will slowly float out.
Lin Wei took a deep breath with a satisfied face.
Just by smelling it, you can imagine what kind of delicious it must be in your mouth.
Looking at Wang's appearance of concentrating on cooking, the originally somewhat mean face became much softer.
But it was only an instant, Wang's face rose again, and he said, "Withdraw the firewood!" ”
As soon as the words fell, before Lin Wei could react, Gu Xiaolian had already hurriedly taken a few steps forward, squatted down and slowly withdrew half of the unburned firewood from the stove door, and threw it into the charcoal basin on the side.
It turned out to be a small fire, Lin Wei nodded clearly.
Then thinking of Gu Xiaolian's almost reflexive reaction, Lin Wei couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
"Xiaolian and her mother have a real tacit understanding!"
Gu Xiaolian, who was praised, lowered her head a little embarrassed, but moved to Lin Wei and rubbed it.
Wang glanced at Gu Xiaolian and said, "If you can't do this little thing well, then you can follow your mother and me to cook so many meals in the stove room!" ”
"The main thing is that it's better to teach your mother!" Lin Wei decisively patted his ass.
Wang was obviously very useful, and there was a hint of joy on his face, and he said with a smile: "My daughter just can talk." ”
After thinking about it, she said: "Since you want to learn to cook, then you two sisters will practice more with me in the future, although my mother's skill is not as good as those cooks from high-ranking families, it is not bad." ”
Lin Wei and Gu Xiaolian nodded hurriedly, especially Gu Xiaolian, whose eyes were blooming, obviously very happy.
Wang Shi looked at the reaction of the two, and couldn't help but say with a straight face: "But there is one point, you also have to suffer, not to mention anything else, if you want to do a good job of basic knife work, you have to practice more, you know?" ”
"Yes! Mother, we know! ”
After listening to the answers of the two, Wang nodded with satisfaction.
Taking advantage of the slow simmering of the fish soup, Lin Wei also put her fish into the pot under the guidance of Wang.
What she didn't expect was that the moment she picked up the spatula, she felt as if there was a thin layer of light around her, her whole body instantly felt extremely light, and her hands had more strength than before.
This sudden change made Lin Wei stunned for a moment, but when he looked at Wang and Gu Xiaolian, he didn't seem to notice her abnormality.
Lin Wei felt strange in her heart, and looked down, could it be that only she could see this light?
"Don't worry about the host, this is just a function of the system, which aims to improve the host's cooking skills, and it cannot be seen by outsiders."
After being reminded by the system, Lin Wei understood.
Originally, she was still thinking that when the system introduced itself, it said that it would allow her to obtain wonderful cooking skills and move towards a variety of lives.
If this wonderful cooking skill was learned little by little by herself, then didn't the system slap itself in the face?
She still despised it in her heart.
At this time, I was not surprised to hear such an explanation from the system.
Isn't that reasonable?
Lin Wei, who silently added a point to the system in his heart, was quite satisfied with the arrangement of the system.
But soon she remembered that there was no change in her body when she held the knife herself, so she wondered: "How can this function be triggered?" ”
"At present, the knife work still needs the host's own efforts."
Lin Wei understood.
But it's just right, after all, no one can learn such a thing as knife work.
This kind of basic skill still depends on practice, and if she is very proficient at the beginning, it will arouse suspicion.
That's just right now.
This system is quite smart, knowing that knife work can't be done quickly, but the feel of personal cooking is something that outsiders can't judge.
Just like two people cooking the same dish, using the same ingredients and techniques, the taste may be different.
So now that means that with the help of the system, she should be able to make a delicious dish?
But in fact, she really wants to make this dish on her own.
Lin Wei hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Can I use my own mind to control this ability?" ”
Seeing that the system was silent, Lin Wei said again: "This is the first time I have learned to cook a dish seriously, I want to see my true level, so I don't need this ability first, right?" Put it away first, and then let it out when you can use it, okay? ”
"Naturally, this ability is automatically released, and the host can retract it by mind, and only need to call the system again when needed."
That's great!
After retracting his ability, the original feeling of lightness and comfort disappeared, and the strength in his body gradually subsided, but Lin Wei still felt very happy.
After frying the fish head, heating the water and simmering, turning to low heat and simmering two teas, Lin Wei put the cut tofu into the pot and boiled it again, sprinkled with chopped green onions and a little salt, and the delicious fish head tofu soup was ready.
The soup is thick and white, and the aroma is overflowing.
The whole stove is filled with the smell of fish.
The fish soup made by Wang had already been served in a casserole and simmered on a small stove.
If this cold day was left directly, I am afraid that Gu Wenyuan would have already cooled down before he went home.
Therefore, when Lin Wei's soup came out of the pot, he also put it in a casserole and simmered it over low heat, which would not affect the taste, and when Gu Wenyuan came back, he could also drink a mouthful of hot fish soup.
Gu Wenyuan is now the only boy in the Gu family, although he has only reached the age of ten, he has to take on the burden of the whole family.
Now that it's the end of the year, every household is busy, and there are many things to buy, so Gu Wenyuan was driven to the town by the Wang family early in the morning to buy New Year's goods.
Originally, it was time to come back at noon, but I don't know why, the soup of Wang and Lin Wei was ready, but there was no trace of Gu Wenyuan.
Waiting and waiting, Lin Wei, who didn't eat much in the morning because he was worried about this fish task, had a gurgling stomach.
She touched her stomach a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, the Wang family couldn't sit still, no one could starve her Wei'er when she was hungry, didn't she?
Besides, such two large pots of fish head soup were enough for Gu Wenyuan to drink, so he got up and scooped a bowl from each of the two pots of fish soup and handed it to Lin Wei.
