Chapter 132: Pork stewed vermicelli is full!
"She taught you how to cook, so you let her be your master! She cooks deliciously, let her come to the house to cook for you! A bunch of eyeless things! Aunt Niu had no fear, and sneered, "It's just right not to eat, I use it to feed the pigs!" I see if you want to eat it at night! Do you want to eat what I made tomorrow! β
Everyone ignored her, and gathered around Huamanxi to see what she was cooking.
What Hua Manxi will do this time is a famous dish in the Northeast, pork stewed vermicelli!
This dish is the simplest and most home-cooked, almost every household in the Northeast will make it, its uniqueness is that the two ingredients of vermicelli and pork complement each other, pork moistens the vermicelli, so that the dry vermicelli becomes soft and smooth, and the vermicelli absorbs the juice of pork, so that the pork becomes fat but not greasy.
Hua Manxi first took out the vermicelli he bought, soaked it in warm water to soften, and then cut a large piece of pork belly into large pieces, boiled water in the pot, after the water boiled, put in the pork belly to blanch, and after the meat became hard, then take it out and let it cool.
Then start the pot, heat the oil, put an appropriate amount of sugar in the pot, then pour the pork belly pieces into it and stir-fry until the meat pieces are colored, and then add ginger and garlic, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other ingredients, add boiling water and simmer.
Simmer until the meat is medium-cooked, then add salt, soak the soft vermicelli and simmer together, until the vermicelli is soft and ready to cook.
Hua Manxi stewed a large pot this time, enough for more than a dozen people in the kitchen.
"I didn't expect that vermicelli would be even better than meat!" Li San'er tasted the taste first, and was amazed, "This vermicelli is really delicious, soft and smooth, and every bite is a thick meaty aromaββ"
"Let's all scoop it up and eat it ourselves, take care of it, I'll bring some to my mother first." Hua Manxi scooped out some for Hua Lanxiang first, although this is not greasy, but in the end it is oily, Hua Lanxiang is not suitable for eating too much, so Hua Manxi only scooped a small bowl, in addition, she also cut a small piece of pumpkin and steamed it, so that Hua Lanxiang can eat it together.
When she returned to the kitchen, Xiao Yezi hurriedly brought a bowl full of vermicelli and pork, and said to Hua Manxi: "Manxi, this is so delicious!" Everybody's crazy! If you're a little later, you probably won't have any! β
"Lady Lanxiang, you really have nothing to say about your craft! I don't know how long it's been since I've had such a delicious meal! "The Li Yuxi who helped with the purchase is Li San'er's mother, since she knew that she taught Li San'er to cook, she even stuffed the silver that Hua Manxi bribed her with this morning back to Hua Manxi.
"This dish is simple, I will teach it to San'er, and when I go back in the future, if you want to eat it, let's pool the money to buy some meat, and let San'er make it for you." Hua Manxi didn't hide his selfishness, and said generously.
"This girl is really generous and righteous, and she is even better than your mother! Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you! Li Xixi thought about it, and then took off a bracelet from his wrist, and gave it to Hua Manxi, and said, "At that time, when I led San'er into the mansion to apprentice, I gave a lot of gifts to Niu Er, but who would have thought that Niu Er was an iron rooster, San'er had been with him for so long, and he had done all the dirty work, and he hadn't even touched the spatula, you had just arrived, and you were willing to teach him a few dishes, such a great favor, my aunt really didn't know how to repay it, you must accept this." β
Although the bracelet doesn't look very valuable, it is definitely the most valuable thing on Li Xixi's body, where is Hua Manxi willing to ask for it?
"Li Hao, no, really no, I didn't call him anything, but I just said a few words, in fact, stir-frying, not a master, it depends on personal practice and experience, even if I teach the recipe to San'er, the dishes he makes may not be the same as mine."
"I know, I know, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, this is a little bit of the aunt's mind, you must accept it." Li Xixiao still wants to stuff it for her.
"Li Haoxi, if you really want to thank me, help me take care of my mother a little more in the future, I will be grateful, everyone is not a wealthy family, if you can help, you can help, I don't want you anything." Hua Manxi put the bracelet back on Li Haoxi's hand and said in a low voice.
After eating a meal, someone suddenly asked in a low voice: "Lady Lanxiang, this time we have offended Aunt Niu to death, what if she treats us harshly on food at night, or doesn't cook?" She's right, we're going to have to eat her. β
Hua Manxi dared to offend her to death, so she naturally knew what the consequences would be.
She beckoned, and the workers rushed over, whispering a few words in their ears, and the workers were all happy.
In the evening, when it was almost time to cook dinner, the tantrum Niu Er didn't need Zhao Xixi to invite him for a while, but he came back by himself, but he was pulling a face, and how ugly the face was, how ugly it was.
That's right, this time it was the eldest lady who went to beat him personally, and ordered him to go back to cooking if he didn't want to lose his job, not only to cook, but also to come up with some good dishes, good dishes to do, so as to overpower Hua Manxi's limelight today, lest the old lady's birthday banquet fall on Hua Manxi's head at that time!
This time, Niu Er was in a hurry, how did he think that the dead girl would not only cut vegetables blindfolded, but also cook, and the dishes he made were well received by everyone! The second aunt and the fourth aunt even want to hand over the old lady's birthday banquet to her!
Sun Yuan's foreign mansion is strict, even in the kitchen, there is not much oil and water to catch, and what can be fished every year is nothing more than those banquets.
The materials used in the banquet are expensive, but the host's family can't be divided, Niu Er is shoddy, and then report more losses, he can naturally make a fortune, and the things of this banquet are to be prepared more, and the banquet is not used up, and after that, it will all go into his pocket.
So even if he lost some face, he had to go back to the kitchen to cook.
He was in a bad mood, and the people in the big kitchen naturally suffered, one time this one was not cut well, another time that one was not cleaned, one moment disgusted that the stove fire was not strong enough, and another time said that the ingredients were not fresh! Pointing at Sang scolding Huai, the voice shook the sky, and the entire large kitchen echoed with his scolding voice.
In addition to the loud voice, the scolding words are also ugly, and all the filth of the market keeps popping out of his mouth.
Hua Manxi couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a cold face: "Master Niu, your mouth is so wide open, and your saliva has fallen into the pot, don't you dislike it when the masters eat it?" β
Niu Er deliberately waited for her to speak, and then took the opportunity to scold her, but he didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would say that her cooking was unhygienic, and he couldn't think of a rhetoric.
Niu Er blushed and turned his head to the side, only then raised his voice and scolded: "You girl who doesn't have any hair, what do you know!" When Lao Tzu stir-fried, you don't know which dog or mother's man didn't get it! I want you to teach Lao Tzu to stir-fry! Dogs, mothers! β
"Master Niu! Your dish is mushy! Hua Manxi reminded in a cold voice while cutting vegetables.
When Niu Er heard this, he quickly moved the spatula, and sure enough, the dishes he cooked were a little mushy, he was so angry that he jumped three feet high, pointed at the guy who burned the fire and scolded: "Why are you burning such a big fire!" You burn the oil pan and fry people! β
The young man did not dare to squeak, and hurriedly lowered his head.
The people in the kitchen wanted to laugh when they saw this, but they couldn't laugh out loud.
Zhao Xixi watched Niu Er scoop out the fried fish and put it aside, such a dish naturally could not be served to the master, but the dishes in the big kitchen were all bought according to the head, if there was one dish missing, it would naturally not be enough to eat.
Sure enough, the Niu Er frowned and said to Li San'er: "Li San'er, go to the small kitchen and ask your sister to get some dishes." β
If you get the dishes in the small kitchen, the small kitchen will naturally not be enough to eat, and Aunt Niu has been deducting it, whether it is meat or eggs, she will take out most of it.
No wonder the workers ate so badly, today's pork stewed vermicelli, even the soup has been drunk, and there is nothing left.
The people in the big kitchen are commonplace, and no one dares to squeak, so Li San'er glanced at Hua Manxi silently and obediently went to the small kitchen.
"Master, the master has made a bad dish, let you bring me some dishes." Li San'er went to the small kitchen and whispered to Aunt Niu.
"Bad cooking? What kind of dish is broken, if it is bad, don't you know how to bring the bad dish here? Otherwise, how to eat the food here? Aunt Niu chattered, but still took a piece of meat to Li San'er, which shows that she is used to this kind of thing.
There are no expensive ingredients in the kitchen, usually half-fat and half-lean pork belly, eggs, coarse grains, etc., and even fish are rare.
Then Li San'er gave the meat to Niu Er, and said, "The master said that the dishes over there are not enough, let me serve the bad dishes." β
"Let's go, let's go, this fish is all fried, what's the use!" That Niu Er glared at Li San'er unhappily, waved his hand, and asked him to hurry up.
Watching Li San'er take the pasted fish away, Zhao Xixi and Hua Manxi both smiled imperceptibly.
That's right, Zhao Xixi had already guessed that after Li San'er came back, he would take this fish away, so in Hua Manxi's gesture, he added a little bit of something to this fish.
Niu Er made a bad dish, and it was not good to open his throat and scold again, but he was cautious about cooking at this time.
His dishes are braised pork, nine turns of large intestine, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, and a whole duck with soy sauce, and vegetarian stir-fried tofu skin and cucumber.
Sure enough, the taste is quite heavy, the dishes on the table are all drenched in oil, and the ingredients are also very heavy, basically the taste of the seasoning overshadows the original taste of the ingredients.
Hua Manxi was silent, anyway, she would do whatever people asked her to do, as long as he didn't find fault, she wouldn't make trouble.
After this table of dishes went up, Niu Er was full of confidence, he used his heart for this dish, and he would definitely overshadow that girl!
