Chapter 25: Spoils of War
Xu Jiayi took out all the things and gave them all to Lin Wei'an to deal with.
"You have to be able to handle the ingredients, from the selection, to the washing and cutting of vegetables, so that you can make a good dish."
Xu Jiayi was talking to Lin Wei'an very seriously, her eyes kept staring at her movements, "This dish can't be washed like this, it has to be followed, otherwise the leaves will rot." ”
"Oh, oh, it turns out that washing vegetables is so particular."
Lin Wei'an had never tried to treat the dishes so meticulously, as if she was caressing her own child.
After washing, Xu Jiayi told Lin Wei'an all the spices, telling her what this was for and when she should use it.
Lin Wei'an held her mobile phone, took notes while listening, and wrote down everything Xu Jiayi said, she felt that she was in high school when she was so serious about taking notes, which was really not easy.
After Xu Jiayi finished saying what she should say, she began to boil, she showed that she had made a small demonstration, and then let Lin Wei'an get started, and she guided her on the side, telling her what to put on the side, Lin Wei'an complied with them one by one, very seriously.
"Yes, I'm very pleased with your attitude, you can succeed if you keep it up, come, try this."
Lin Wei'an had already prepared the first dish at this time, she tasted both of them, and she felt pretty good, which was considered a success.
"Although it's an appetizer, it's also very good, anyway, the cooking is almost the same, once raw and twice cooked."
Xu Jiayi was very satisfied with the apprentice she taught, and led her to the next dish with enthusiasm.
But this time it was a bit confused, Xu Jiayi didn't notice that Lin Wei'an's heat was too big, but fortunately, Xu Jiayi came back.
She sent the lime juice on it, so that the taste of the meat changed, but the umami was still there, "You see, you have to be careful when cooking, maybe you don't pay attention to it, a mistake in a small place will ruin the dish, just like you manage the company's accounts." ”
Lin Wei'an wondered if she knew about the Huo family some time ago, and the metaphor was so appropriate......
The last dish almost failed, but Lin Wei'an listened to Xu Jiayi's words, and her attitude became more serious and more cautious.
Her hair was tied at the back of her head, curled into a bud, some broken hair on her forehead hooked behind her ears, and an apron on her chest, she looked like a chef, but her hand holding a spatula was not very skillful in stir-frying the dishes in the pot, and she immediately showed her cramped and uneasy.
Lin Wei'an threw the vegetables down every time she took them, she said that she was afraid of being fried, but Xu Jiayi told her that she would not be in a hurry.
"As long as you boil the water in the pot dry, you are putting oil, there will be no oil spilling, and the same is true for the dish, the more you throw it down, the more oil will splash, and you will fall lightly from the side, and it's fine."
After finishing speaking, Lin Wei'an "swished" again, and threw down a lot of brains, Xu Jiayi hurriedly picked up the lid of the pot and put it in front of her.
"You can file like this, so you won't be afraid."
Xu Jiayi took out all her nirvana, "If you don't listen to me again, I'll ignore you." ”
"Don't, I'll pay attention later, I'm definitely not afraid!"
Lin Wei plucked up her courage and said, her hand still raised, and she made a gesture of swearing, with a serious face.
"Don't be poor, look at the dishes, it's time to add water!!"
Xu Jiayi silently reminded herself in her heart that she must keep an eye on Lin Wei'an later, and she has been so afraid that she will not be able to cook well at the moment she gets out of the pot.
"Actually, being splashed with oil is a little painful at that moment, and there is generally no scar, and what you say is really no oil spilled." She knew that many girls were afraid of this because they didn't want to learn, and she used to do the same.
"Okay, this can be cooked, it's been simmering for ten minutes," Lin Wei'an felt that she was starting to ramble again, and quickly interrupted her, saying that it wouldn't be like this.
"Alright, open it and see how it looks."
"It's so fragrant," as soon as she opened Gai Lin Wei'an, she couldn't help but exclaim, "This stewed crab roe lion's head is really loved, fat but not greasy, and the green vegetables retain his original taste, the crab roe is fresh and fragrant, and the fat and tender are abnormal." I loved it last time I was in the store! ”
"Some of the customers in my store often ask me to teach them this, and they all say they like it, but I don't agree, but you are the first person to know this trick."
Lin Wei'an was satisfied when she heard it, she was still afraid that Xu Jiayi would go abroad and where she would eat, but now that she has seen it, as long as she studies carefully and practices more, she can make it herself and eat it in the future.
"Haha," thinking about herself, she laughed out loud, Xu Jiayi didn't know what kind of sweet dream she was having, but she still woke her up.
"Wake up, it's time for the main event."
"Squirrel Guiyu, is a traditional famous dish in Subang cuisine, and it is also a hard dish, I rarely do it, because it is too troublesome, if this dish is served one day, it is too popular, order it at every table, I have to be tired, you go and take out the fish."
Lin Wei'an was so fart that she took out the fish, of course she didn't buy it alive, how dare she.
"I have to admire the wonderful new world, buy fish and kill fish plus processing, one road service, it's not too convenient!"
Vivian Lin had to show off the fish she had bought and take it to the sink to clean up.
"Isn't it unsurprising how dare I wash it because it's dead, haha."
"Wait, you scrape it again, the fish sellers clean up the internal organs, and the fish scales won't be cleaned, I'll show you."
After speaking, Lin Wei watched her pick up the knife and scrape it against the direction of the fish, "You come and try, that's it." ”
"It's simple, isn't it? Wow, that's a lot! ”
Lin Wei'an dealt with it as she had to do, and when she got it right, Xu Jiayi said, "Now start dealing with it." ”
Xu Jiayi told her to remove the fish head, cut out the fish bones, and so on......
Almost an hour passed, Lin Wei'an finally got it right, her waist was about to break, she finally knew why Xu Jiayi also said that it was troublesome, she would definitely not make this dish in the future, it really is.
In fact, Xu Jiayi got the follow-up treatment of the fish, after all, it was not easy to cut it again, and it was not easy to cut out the pattern on the fish, Lin Wei'an gave up, and did the easiest job on the way - cooking rice with a rice cooker......
In the end, Xu Jiayi put the fish into the pot, fixed the shape, and worked for more than half an hour, and it was already dark when it came out of the pot.
"Okay, it's all done now, Huo Jingchuan should be there soon, right?"
"Well, it's about half past eight, and it's still more than twenty minutes."
Xu Jiayi wants to be busy with the shop and going abroad, and she doesn't plan to stay and eat, "Then I'll go first, you just heat up the original food, you don't need to get the fish just now, put it there, and it won't be cold when you take it out after eating." ”
She explained some things and was about to leave, Lin Wei'an felt that someone had been busy with her for an afternoon, but she was going to leave, and she was very unhappy in her heart.
"Don't you really want to stay? We can't eat that much, so let's go together!"
Lin Wei'an still tried to keep it, but Xu Jiayi said that she would not disturb their two-person world, and insisted on leaving first.
Sending Xu Jiayi away, she ran to clean up the kitchen, this mess seemed to have been a war, but this was indeed the battlefield that Lin Wei'an had fought for an afternoon.
With a click, the door opened.
Lin Wei'an watched the TV in the living room again, turning it on very loudly, completely unaware that Huo Jingchuan was back.
