One hundred and one octopus lips
"Don't worry, this business can be the best, and if it can't be successful, you should make a friend." Qin Shen patted Qiao Su on the shoulder, "What else do you need to prepare?" ”
"Hey, although I prepared a lot of ingredients today, I didn't know that there were guests, I don't know if they will like it!" As soon as Qiao Su knew Lin Cheng's identity, he suddenly had some gains and losses.
"It's good to be a guest of ordinary friends, and you don't have to take it to heart. What's more, they come uninvited, they love to eat or not, if they don't eat, it is estimated that Xiaobai will be very happy! Qin Shen looked around and opened a plate that was being held, "What is this?" ”
"This is a fish lip." Josu said on the side.
"Fish lips?" Qin Shen looked at Qiao Su incredulously, when he was the prince of Beishu, although he didn't particularly care about appetite, but the people in the imperial dining room would also change their tricks to make food, but he never knew that fish lips could still be eaten!
Qiao Su took the fish lips soaked in rice wine from Qin Shen's hand, "The fish lips are one of the eight treasures of seafood!" It's a pity if you haven't eaten it. When it came to eating, Qiao Su was simply full of self-confidence, and she said with a smile: "What I prepared today is four dishes and one soup, stir-fried pork liver, braised fish lips, chopped pepper fish head, sour and spicy folded ear root and dried bamboo shoots and duck soup." ”
"Very well, that's all! It is estimated that even if they go to the top restaurant in Yuzhou, they will not be able to eat this delicacy. Qin Shen is still very ...... about fish lips Curious, of course he has eaten fish, and as a royal family, the types of fish he has eaten are simply not too much, but the fish lips are ...... It's the first time!
While processing the fish lips, Qiao Su told Qin Shen: "Generally, to make fish lips, we need to use the skin part of the upper lip of sturgeon, eel or shark, so that whether it is braised or braised in yellow, it will be strong and delicious." ”
"Aren't all fish fine?" Qin Shen frowned and asked.
"Of course!" Qiao Su shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of disapproval, "If it is a hairtail fish or other small fish, their lips are only a thin layer, and they taste like eating fish bones, what else is delicious?" But the fish I'm talking about are different, their upper lip is not only large but also rich, which is the ingredient that can be used to make fish lips. ”
She happily turned her hand and grabbed Qin Shen's arm, "You know what? Today is mostly too coincidental! On the way back, I happened to see a fisherman selling sharks, because the sharks are too big, of course, they are all sold separately! It was late when I went, and there was almost nothing left, so I bought the fish lips at a very low price. ”
Qin Shen sighed, "It is estimated that except for you, no one should know that fish lips are edible." "What a little fool! Fish lips don't have to spend money to buy such a thing, okay? It is estimated that there will definitely be left in the end.
Looking at Qin Shen's suspicious gaze at the fish lips, Qiao Su couldn't help but pinch his waist, "You don't doubt my cooking skills, do you!" ”
"Of course not!" Qin Shen immediately said, "It's just the first time I heard about it, so I was a little curious. ”
"Just wait and taste! Make sure you eat so much that you want to swallow your tongue. Qiao Su clenched her nose and said, she patted Qin Shen's arm, "Okay, I'm going to cook the dishes, you get out of the way." ”
Qin Shen was helpless, it was really ...... Obviously, Qiao Su just grabbed him and didn't let go, and he was going to cook at this time, so he actually asked him to get out of the way. However, Lin Cheng and Steward Lin were still waiting in the dining room, and Qin Shen had no choice but to obediently push back.
"Where's the white jade?" Josu suddenly looked up.
"Master, I'm here!" Wang Baiyu ran out from behind the pillar on the side, really, the master and the master hugged each other just now, and she ...... I had to hide for a while!
"Come here, it's rare to make fish lips, you follow along." Qiao Su beckoned to Wang Baiyu.
After all, their kitchen here is not very big, so Qin Shen retreated from the kitchen very interestingly, "Where is the lo-mei?" I'll get some to go to the dining room. ”
"The lo-mei is on the Zhao family's wine shelf, and there are wooden signs on the jars below, all of which are marked on them." Qiao Su said without looking back.
"Got it!" Qin Shen looked at Qiao Su's serious explanation to Wang Baiyu and left quickly.
Qiao Su carefully explained the steps to Wang Baiyu as he did it, "Do you remember when I was dealing with fish lips in the afternoon?" ”
"Remember!" Wang Baiyu nodded and said, "You want to change the fish lip into a knife, cut it into half the length of the middle finger, and then span it like a thumbnail, first scald it with boiling water, and then wash it in clean water, repeat it twice, so that it can be fishy, and then soak it in rice wine." ”
"Good!" Qiao Su smiled and nodded, "Now we have to add clear soup, green onions, ginger slices, and rice wine to the wok, and cook the fish lips, you come!" ”
"Good!" Wang Baiyu took the spatula in Qiao Su's hand and carefully followed Qiao Su's instructions step by step.
They first skim off the scum after the water boils, then simmer slowly for a quarter of an hour, take it out to drain it, and then wipe it off with a clean cotton cloth.
Qiao Su stepped forward to take the spatula, first added hot oil to the pot, and then when it was sixty percent hot, put the green onion and ginger slices in it, and then put the fish lips and Qiao Su's seasoning in advance and stir-fry, thicken it with starch, and finally pour chicken broth and sesame oil on it, and you can put it out of the pot and put it on the plate.
The work of putting on the plate is all done by Wang Baiyu, because Qiao Su found that Wang Baiyu not only learns things quickly, but also has a very good aesthetic, and in this regard, she trusts Wang Baiyu very much.
"Alright, let's send it in!" Josu said with a smile.
"Hey!" Wang Baiyu smelled the delicious fish lips, and really wanted to reach out and take a piece out to eat!
Lin Cheng has always been doing business on the water, and he has traveled south and north for many years, and he has never tasted any delicious food, and he has never seen any ingredients, but this fish lip ...... It's his first time!
Even the signature dish of the top dining building, Lin Cheng just thought it was acceptable, but after he tasted the dried bamboo shoots and duck soup, he was full of anticipation for the braised fish lips.
Wang Baiyu had already brought the rice out, "Master, Master said that you should entertain the distinguished guests first, and the remaining two dishes will be ready soon." ”
"Got it." Qin Shen nodded and said.
He put the jade golden bamboo shoots, black duck wings, braised chicken feet and egg tarts on a small plate and put them on the table, so that when the dishes were not ready, Lin Cheng and Lin Steward would not be embarrassed and could only eat the dishes in front of them.
Wang Baiyu sighed and came to the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Su took the chopped pepper fish head out of the pot and looked at Wang Baiyu suspiciously.
Wang Baiyu walked lightly to Qiao Su's side and whispered, "That Master Lin and Steward Lin can eat at a glance!" ”
"You're really ......," Qiao Su shook his head, "I cook enough every time, and I've never been hungry for you, so why do you do this?" ”
"I ...... It's all Master's fault! Master always makes new dishes, this fish lip ...... I haven't eaten it yet! Wang Baiyu said with a pout.
