Chapter 32: Preparations
The next day, Ye Jingshu entered the space, took some of the vegetables she had recently harvested, and by the way, she went to the market to get a few pig's trotters, brought a stick, and set off to go to Old Man Mo's house with Yu Weiwei.
As soon as Ye Jingshu arrived this time, she found that Grandma Mo was already waiting for them at the door.
As soon as she saw Ye Jingshu and the others coming, Grandma Mo stepped forward with a smile:
"Xiaoye, Xiaoxiao, are you here? Come on in. My old man is already waiting. ”
Seeing that Ye Jingshu was carrying a big bag in her hand, which was full of various vegetables, and if she looked closely, there were still a few pig's trotters. Grandma Mo laughed out loud with a "poof":
"Just come here, what are you doing with all these things? Lao Mo went to the market early in the morning and was ready for a long time! ”
When Ye Jingshu heard this, she smiled: It seems that even if Old Man Mo is old, his heart is still full of enthusiasm for pursuing food. "Lian Po is old, can you still eat", the ancients did not deceive me!
As soon as Ye Jingshu and Yu Weiwei entered the courtyard, the rich smell of pig's trotters entered their nostrils.
As an old fan of "Mo Ji Pig's Trotters", smelling such a familiar fragrance seems to bring the two back to the legend of decades ago.
"Wow! It's so fragrant! God knows, how much I miss the taste of this pig's trotter! ”
Yu Weiwei walked around the yard excitedly, at this time, she completely ignored her usual "cool" image, as if eating a pig's trotter could fly to the sky beautifully!
After Ye Jingshu smelled the smell, she was surprised to find that several important recipes for this braised pig's trotters appeared in her mind:
Ingredients, grass fruits, bay leaves, peppercorns......
The special aroma of the spices does not hide the original deliciousness of the pig's trotters, but can well remove the fishy taste of the pork itself, which is simply a complement to each other!
It is said that "the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway." Seeing the reaction of the two, Old Man Mo nodded with satisfaction: It seems that Xiao Yezi, this girl is indeed a good seedling!
"How? It's been a long time since I've eaten the pig's trotters that the old man made me? ”
Old Man Mo was leisurely half lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he tasted the jasmine tea in the cup unchanged for ten thousand years.
I saw Yu Weiwei immediately jumped to Old Man Mo's side: "Grandpa Mo, people haven't eaten your pig's trotters for a long time, I really think about it, my heart, liver, spleen and lungs hurt."
After a pause, his eyes glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and then he showed a flattering smile:
"Hey, grandpa, I'm ...... I'm ...... today."
Rubbing his little white hands:
"Grandpa Mo, do I have a good mouth today?"
After that, Yu Weiwei glanced at Old Man Mo expectantly.
Looking at Yu Weiwei's cute appearance, Old Man Mo was completely amused:
"Today, when Xiao Ye finishes making skewers, you can eat as much as you want!"
After getting the approval, Yu Weiwei completely relieved her heart, and immediately went to the house with a smile and moved a small Mazha, came out and sat next to Old Man Mo, and ate the jujube paste cake on the table.
Seeing that her friend had settled down, Ye Jingshu put the big bag in her hand on the table and said:
"Grandpa Mo, I came over this time, and by the way, I brought some vegetables from my own home, there are more types, and I will give you a taste of my craftsmanship later."
Old Man Mo found the pig's trotters in the handbag with sharp eyes, and felt satisfied:
This little girl is worthy of being the apprentice he values Mo Zhensheng! Without his reminder, he had everything ready.
However, when I was satisfied, I was satisfied, and when I ran to my mouth, I immediately became disgusted:
"Do you hate the old man, I'm too poor to afford these things? It's all the way over! ”
Although the words are not good, Ye Jingshu still keenly captures the care inside: Hehe, this Grandpa Mo is so cute, obviously he feels sorry for her little girl, but his mouth is not good at all!
I only heard Old Man Mo's voice coming softly:
"Now that you're ready, let's get started!"
Looking at the lazy Old Man Mo, Ye Jingshu smiled slightly, nodded, and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
Ye Jingshu first picked up the knife and peeled the potatoes three times and divided them by two, then cut them into thin slices, soaked them in water to wash off the starch, and skewered them with a skewer.
After removing the stems, the eggplant is cut in half from the side, then cut in half a few times, coated with salt water, wrapped in tin foil, and placed on a tray.
Next, the corn is relatively simple, use a knife to uproot the corn kernels, then pick up the skewers, and carefully string them one by one.
……
Twenty minutes later, Ye Jingshu came out of the kitchen with various vegetables such as eggplant, potatoes, mushrooms, and leeks that she had handled.
Seeing the ingredients prepared by Ye Jingshu, Old Man Mo was very surprised:
I have lived for so many years, and I have experienced a lot of ups and downs. According to decades of experience, the current barbecue on the market is still only at the stage of meat skewers, and they are mainly mutton, and some vendors have found another way, at most only adding tendons.
But look at this little girl, but she took a bunch of vegetables and came out. And each has its own way of dealing with it.
After looking at it, Old Man Mo shook his head in his heart:
This little girl is really young and whimsical! This vegetable is not as good as meat, the water content is too large, how can it be delicious when it is roasted and soft to step on?
It's good to have that in mind, though. After all, people can't always stick to tradition, they have to look forward!
Later, when the little leaves are baked, even if they are not delicious, don't act too seriously and hurt the young people's hearts to learn.
Old Man Mo secretly thought in his heart.
Before Ye Jingshu turned around, the afterglow just caught the regret that flashed in Old Man Mo's eyes.
However, in Ye Jingshu's opinion, although Old Man Mo's worry is superfluous, at this moment, Ye Jingshu's heart still flows through the bubbling warmth: this care, she Ye Jingshu understands it!
Walking to the grill, Ye Jingshu was secretly frightened by such a formation:
Its unsightly barbecue grill seems to have been used for many years, and although the iron sheet on the outside has faintly glowed with black and yellow, it will not affect the glory it has experienced in the slightest.
This shelf is three meters long, and at first glance, it is specially made by the old man. If you put meat skewers on top, think about the pomp and circumstance of the year: tsk! How many guests you have to entertain this night!
However, Ye Jingshu was very puzzled in her heart:
Old Man Mo started as a cooked food, why has he never heard of it, and he also made barbecue?
Seeing Ye Jingshu's puzzled expression, Old Man Mo smiled:
"This shelf, it's my brother's. Back then, his barbecue was in our entire A city, tsk, it was in short supply! It's open every night at 6 p.m., but from 4 p.m., hehe, the guests are lining up! ”
Is business so hot? This must be a master-level character! Ye Jingshu secretly planned that when she had the opportunity, she would have to have a good exchange with this legend in the barbecue industry......
Before Ye Jingshu could speak, she heard Mo Laozi let out a long sigh:
"Xiao Yezi, I know, do you want to meet my old brother?"
Ye Jingshu nodded hurriedly.
But Old Man Mo seems to have thousands of mountains and rivers in his eyes at this time, making people unable to see the direction clearly:
"My brother passed away 10 years ago. Before he died, he gave me the grill as a memento. ”
"After so many years, the shelves have not been used again."
Ye Jingshu secretly spoke: The eldest brother in Old Man Mo's mouth, if it is true, it is the big man in the barbecue world!
The barbecue has only been popular for a few years! According to Old Man Mo, this big guy passed away ten years ago, so this is definitely a pioneer in the barbecue industry in City A!
It's a pity that the person is no longer there, otherwise he must try the craftsmanship of this senior!
Pulling her thoughts back, Ye Jingshu focused her attention on these skewered vegetables.
The grill was cleaned, and there were small boxes under the shelves with all kinds of spices. Next to the spice box is a bamboo fan to control the fire.
Ye Jingshu looked at what Grandpa Mo had prepared for her, and her heart was very shaken:
Although there are a few things missing, they are already very thoughtful to her.
After Yu Weiwei finished eating a piece of jujube cake, she stopped talking and planned to do a lot of work. Ye Jingshu could be seen standing next to the grill and had no intention of making a move.
After a while, I saw Ye Jingshu turn around and go to the kitchen again.
"Hey, why did Jingshu go in again?"
Looking at Yu Weiwei, who didn't know why, Old Man Mo smiled, looked at Ye Jingshu, who was busy in the kitchen, and looked far away:
"You little girl, quickly wipe your mouth, the jujube mud makes the corners of your mouth."
……
Ye Jingshu turned back to the kitchen, just to prepare the two missing spices: minced garlic and chili sauce.
Ye Jingshu casually took off the garlic skewers hanging on the wall, peeled them off, smashed them with a horizontal knife, peeled off the garlic skin, put them in a stone mortar, and pestled them up.
At the same time, take out half of the chili noodles and add seasonings such as chopped peanuts, chopped walnuts, star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns, and peppercorns. After that, I saw Ye Jingshu splashing the hot rapeseed oil.
"Wow ......"
Immediately, there was a sound of sneezing from the yard.
"Ahh
After Yu Weiwei on the chair smelled the smell of chili oil, she immediately sneezed uncontrollably, then picked up the water cup and poured it violently.
When she looked up and saw that Old Man Mo was looking at her with a smile, even though she had always boasted of being "cheeky", Yu Weiwei immediately blushed.
"Hehe, this chili oil is so delicious!"
Grandma Mo, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, had been watching Ye Jingshu who was engrossed outside.
I saw that she quickly put the minced garlic in a bowl, then sprinkled it with salt, poured a layer of rapeseed oil, and stirred it a few times, the action was very neat.
Grandma Mo looked at it and nodded in her heart. Since the first time she saw this little girl, she was dressed in fine clothes but plain and elegant in color, and her manners were polite and generous.
In addition, during this period of time, the intentional test of his wife, even in the face of cold eyes, he still persevered every day, rain or shine.
Turning his head to look at his wife on the recliner, they both saw appreciation in each other's eyes: this is a good girl.
