Following Yu Jiaoxi into the room inside, a spacious and bright studio was displayed in front of Lin Xiaozhu's eyes.

There were six stoves against the wall. However, the size is different, the height is different, and the role is different. Two of the stoves were still simmering, and the air smelled of chicken soup; On the right side of the room are three large water tanks, and in the kitchen cabinet on the right, there are a variety of bottles and jars, which are naturally filled with various seasonings; In the middle is a large desk with cutting board knives and some ingredients that are about to be used. There were a lot of things, but they were neat and clean, and spotlessly clean.

Looking at the furnishings in this room, Lin Xiaozhu's hands were itchy, and his heart was a little excited and excited, and he had a strong urge to cook.

Since the old man left, she hasn't cooked again. In her previous life, she liked to eat and cook, but she hadn't reached the point of obsession, otherwise she would definitely give up her major and learn to cook again. But now, in the process of learning cooking skills from the old man, she found that it is a wonderful thing to treat the ingredients a little, then match them with other ingredients, and cook them to form an indescribable taste, so that their taste buds are amazed and praised. She is now deeply immersed in this process, even if what she makes cannot be put in her mouth and tasted by herself, she is willing to eat it and enjoy it.

"Childe likes to be clean, and the kitchen must be clean and tidy, not dirty." Yu Jiaoxi explained.

Then he pointed to the ingredients on the desk and asked, "Now teach and test you, what kind of dishes should you make first?" What do you do next? ”

Lin Xiaozhu thought for a while: "It should be served with cold double bamboo shoots first, then bird's nest in clear soup, and then stewed prawns in oil, black fish fillets with pickled cabbage, fragrant glutinous lotus root, salted egg yolk pumpkin, and stir-fried water spinach." As for the purple lingzhi stewed chicken soup, it depends on the child's habit of preferring to drink the soup first or later. ”

A hint of approval flashed in Yu Jiaoxi's eyes, but his face remained silent, and he asked again: "You arrange it like this." Can you be particular? ”

"Cold dishes and big dishes are prepared in advance, and as soon as the diners are seated, they can be served. Cold dishes are appetizing, and big dishes need to be tasted when they are the hungriest and most appetizing. It is worthy of the chef's careful cooking. While the diners are savoring these two dishes, the chef can calmly stir-fry them, and the dishes will be served as soon as they come out of the pot. The heat is not delayed, and the taste is the best. After tasting the hot stir-fried flavor, the fragrant glutinous lotus root and salted egg yolk pumpkin are served on the side to fill the hungry stomachs. Fill your stomach. Stir-fried water spinach, fresh and refreshing. It should be placed after a greasy and full stomach. ”

"Well said!" Yu Jiaoxi no longer hid the admiration on his face, "But in addition to what you said, you must also remember that even if it is the same type of dish, who comes first and who comes first is also quite particular: the salty one should come first, and the light one should be last; The thick one should come first, and the thin one should be later; Those who do not have soup should go first, and those who have soup should come later. ”

"Remember." Lin Xiaozhu bowed and replied. When he got up, he saw that Yu Jiaoxi's chubby face was full of kindness, and he couldn't help but say naughtily: "Xiaozhu knows that he has eaten salty in front." Even if you forget to put salt in the soup at the end, the diners will exclaim: this soup is delicious! ”

Yu Jiaoxi laughed out loud, stretched out his hand and patted Lin Xiaozhu's head: "That's exactly the reason." ”

With that, he looked out and said that. He said softly: "Take a look quietly, if they are all concentrating on their work." ”

Lin Xiaozhu looked at him mysteriously. Comprehending, he tiptoed to the door to take a look, and saw that the three people outside were all working seriously, and Zhou Yuchun and Wu Caiyun continued to fight while working. She turned her head and nodded at Yu Jiaoxi.

Yu Jiaoxi walked to the stove and opened a hot pot. There are two stew cups inside, which are simmering in boiling water. He took a pair of bowls and spoons, opened the lids of the two stew pots, scooped out a spoonful of bird's nest from each stew pot, covered it again, and handed the bowl to Lin Xiaozhu: "Taste it." ”

Lin Xiaozhu took the bowl and spoon, looked at the two spoonfuls of crystal clear bird's nest inside, and suddenly felt that his nose was sour, and he almost fell into tears.

Since the cooking exam was under Yu Jiaoxi's door and Yuan Tianye's comments on the dishes he made, Yu Jiaoxi has favored her and has not hidden his admiration for her in front of others. Now, at the risk of being discovered, he specially recruited her into this room and scooped bird's nest from a stew pot specially stewed for the two sons to taste for her.

If a chef wants to become a strong cook, the first priority is to broaden his horizons and eat countless good things, so that he can make the most delicious food. Yu Jiaoxi's move is obvious to her emphasis on cultivation.

Yu Jiaoxi was overjoyed to discover Maxima, so why wasn't she so glad to have met Bole? She has no relatives and no reason with Yu Jiaoxi, but she can be cultivated so carefully, how can she not be moved by this kindness?

Yu Jiaoxi watched her scoop a spoonful of bird's nest into her mouth, and asked expectantly, "How do you feel?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu swallowed the bird's nest, raised his bright eyes, and smiled: "The soup is as clear as water, and the color is as light as tea." The entrance is fragrant and delicious. ”

Yu Jiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he slapped his high-five: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Lin Xiaozhu secretly screamed that it was going to be bad, quickly poured the remaining bird's nest into his mouth, and then took a step forward, put the bowl into the steamer, and as soon as the lid was covered, the three people outside stuck their heads in and looked at them: "What's wrong?" ”

Only then did Yu Jiaoxi realize that he was too excited and shouted too loudly. Hurriedly waved his hand towards the door: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys go and do your business." ”

When the three of them shrank back, he was still pacing back and forth excitedly, exclaiming: "These sixteen words describe the subtlety of this clear soup bird's nest." Wonderful, wonderful! Secretly decided, after a while, the son ate this bird's nest, and he must give Lin Xiaozhu's sixteen-character comment.

After being excited, he looked at the sky, touched his head and said, "This bird's nest seems simple, but it is actually extremely complicated. It's not something that can be explained in a moment. Let's cook first, and we'll talk to you later. ”

"Okay." Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile.

She has been cooking dishes with the old man for more than ten days, and she is no stranger to bird's nest. This clear soup bird's nest, she once made it under the guidance of the old man. The taste, naturally, is not under Yu's teaching. Even not modestly, it is better than him.

This clear soup bird's nest is to choose the best tribute bird's nest or blood bird's nest, and then use the hot and cold temperature of the water, which takes four or five days to make, and then after repeated rinsing with water and careful selection of hair to remove impurities, it can be simmered in the clear soup.

In addition, the most important thing in this dish is the clear soup. It's called clear soup, but it's actually chicken soup. This soup should be mixed into the boiling pot with old hens, old ducks, ham, hoof meat, pork ribs, scallops and other ingredients, add cooking wine, onion and garlic and other condiments to hang for at least two hours, and then chop the chicken breast meat to the paste, pour fresh soup and stir it into a pulp, pour it into the pot to absorb impurities. After repeated adsorption two or three times, the chicken soup in the pot, which was originally slightly turbid, is now as clear and clear as boiling water, with a strong and mellow fragrance, not oily or greasy, and refreshing.

Pour this clear soup into a stew pot with bird's nest and simmer it for an hour, which makes this seemingly light and unremarkable, but in fact extremely luxurious and cumbersome clear soup bird's nest.

And in the old man's recipe, there should be a pot of clear tea soup when served at the same time as this bird's nest. According to the principle of traditional Chinese medicine nourishing the liver in spring, nourishing the heart in summer, moistening the lungs in autumn, and tonifying the kidney in winter, in this early winter season, Cordyceps should be added to the tea soup to strengthen the kidney, strengthen the body, calm phlegm and remove asthma, and simmer for a long time, which is most suitable for Yuan Tianye, who often coughs.

"Su Xiaoshu." Yu Jiaoxi didn't make a move, but shouted outside. Seeing Su Xiaoshu come in, he ordered: "You go to the courtyard of the prince and ask if the two sons want to have breakfast." ”

"Yes."

Watching Su Xiaoshu go out, he handed Lin Xiaozhu an apron again: "Come, let's get the black fish fillet first." ”

Seeing the black fish raised in the stone-built pool, Lin Xiaozhu exclaimed: "This black fish is so good." ”

Blackfish is also known as snakehead, mullet, and fire head. "Shennong's Materia Medica" is listed as the top grade. This kind of fish has a high meat yield, thick and white meat, less red muscle, no intermuscular spines, usually used to make fish fillets, the taste is extremely delicious, and rich in nutrition, the most nourishing, and also has an anti-inflammatory effect on wounds.

It was the early winter of the tenth lunar month, and the cold wind was rising, and the black fish tasted the best at this time. The black fish that Yu Jiaoxi got was very large, and it seemed to weigh seven or eight catties; The appearance is vigorous and extremely fresh, which is completely different from the farmed black fish that Lin Xiaozhu saw in his previous life.

Yu Jiaoxi caught the fish, raised the knife in his hand, knocked the back of the knife on the fish's head, knocked it out, and then disemboweled, stripped the belly, removed the gills, and disposed of it cleanly. Then chop the head and remove the tail, cut the remaining section from the top of the fish bone close to the bone, cut off the upper half of the fish, and then dispose of the lower half according to the law, separate the middle fish bone from the fish body, and the whole fish is cut into two pieces of fish body and a fish bone in the middle, as well as the minced fish head.

He put the fish head and fish bones into a bowl and said, "After the dish is finished in a while, I will use this to stew a pot of black fish soup for you." ”

"Ah, yes! Black fish soup is the most delicious. Lin Xiaozhu said happily. The milky fish soup is her favorite.

Yu Jiaoxi said again: "Look at my knife, this fish, it should start from the tail of the fish." Press the tail of the fish with your hand and follow the direction of the bones to enter the knife. After that, he demonstrated it again. The fillets are then starched.

"Yu Jiaoxi, Brother Yuan Shi asked, and said that if it is done, it can be served." Su Xiaoshu came in and said.

"Okay." Yu Jiaoxi shouted, "If the ingredients outside are handled, wash them and bring them in." He also instructed Lin Xiaozhu to prepare the dishes, and pointed to Zhou Yuchun and Wu Caiyun who came in with the ingredients, "After the dishes are ready in a while, both of you will help serve the dishes." ”

This was supposed to be a matter of showing his face in front of his son, and Wu Caiyun should be happy. But she couldn't be happier today. What happened in the morning, she was hoping that Childe would forget her for a while and not remember it. At this time, I go to the son, and I don't know how to punish it.

"Yu Jiaoxi, my foot is a little painful, it's inconvenient to walk, if you fall and spill the vegetables, you can't be affected? Look, did you ask Su Xiaoshu to serve the food? She looked at Yu Jiaoxi and said pitifully. (To be continued)
