Chapter 792: Master-Apprentice Conversation
To make white chopped chicken, you should use tender and fatty local chicken, such as Sanhuang chicken, Qingyuan hemp chicken, Pudong chicken, etc.
But in Chongyang Town, none of these three chickens can be found.
Fortunately, the locals raised a kind of feathered hen that grew up in the bamboo forest, which is also very good.
If you want to make a good white chopped chicken, this hot chicken is also particular.
The whole chicken can only be scalded with boiling water, and after scalding, it must be chilled with cold water.
Repeat this several times, and the hot chicken will retain the fullest juicy meat as soon as it is broken.
If it is overburned, the chicken skin will break, the juice will come out, and the taste will be much worse.
Ye Qing first added half a pot of water to the cauldron, and put the washed chicken in the pot while it was cold.
While slowly cooking the chicken, she took out a large basin, put in cold water, and added ice cubes for later use.
Once the chicken is scald, carefully remove it with a slayer and immerse it in ice water for about a quarter of an hour.
After cold soaking in this way, the chicken skin will be very crispy, and it will be cold and cool to eat in a hot field, which will make people feel good both physically and mentally.
While cooking chicken, Ye Qing also made three kinds of dipping water for dipping when eating.
The dipping method of eating white chopped chicken is also very simple, the first is to wash and peel the sand ginger, cut it into thin slices, add salt and mash it into a puree.
Pour in an appropriate amount of heated sesame oil and stir well with chopsticks until the fragrance wafts out.
The second kind of garlic juice, mash the garlic and add sesame oil and soy sauce, and if you like to eat chili peppers, you can add some chili sauce.
The third is to chop the green onions, shallots and ginger into small pieces, add salt, a little white pepper, a teaspoon of vinegar, then pour in sesame oil, stir well.
After the white-cut chicken was ready, Ye Qing made another dish of chestnut roast chicken.
Chestnut is a specialty of Chongyang Town, especially Chongyang has a small chestnut called cone chestnut, which has a better taste.
Roast chicken is nutritious and has a certain effect on the treatment of stomach pain.
The method is also very simple, remove the thick bones of the net chicken and chop it into long, about 3 cm wide squares.
Wash and drain the chestnut meat and cut the green onion into sections. Ginger cut into thin slices.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the chestnut meat and fry it until golden brown, pour in a colander to filter the oil.
Then heat the oil pan, stir-fry the chicken pieces until the water is dry, add the cooking wine, then add ginger slices, salt, soy sauce, and simmer in the soup.
Take the clay bowl, use the bamboo grate to pad the bottom, pour the chicken pieces in the wok together with the soup, put it on low heat and simmer until it is rotten, add the fried chestnut meat, continue to simmer until soft, and then pour it into the wok.
Finally, put in the green onion segments, sprinkle with pepper, bring to a boil, thicken with cornstarch water, and pour in sesame oil.
The chicken produced in this way has a smooth meat, sweet chestnut flavor, rich juice, and bright red color.
It is very suitable for the elderly and pregnant women.
While waiting for the chicken to be cooked, Ye Qing made a few dim sums with his hands and feet, and after a while, the servant woman sent five dim sums to Cuizhuju.
They are colorful lotus cake, red bean cake, matcha cream cotton cake, crispy plum water Shin Xuan cake, plum blossom pea yellow.
Because it was made for Master Qian Junbao, Ye Qing made these snacks exquisite, which was breathtaking.
There is a small bamboo forest in Cuizhu Ju, there is an open space in front of the bamboo forest, and there is a square table of white marble and four round stools in the center.
At this moment, an old man with white hair and white clothes was playing against Qian Junbao.
Although the old man was full of gray hair, his face was very young, and if you saw his hair from behind, you would have thought that he was very old.
But if you look at his face head-on, his silver hair is like ice and snow, and his cold but not indifferent face looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties.
It seems that the whole body is full of cold fairy energy, which makes people feel awe.
It's just that at this moment, the mind of the fairy-spirited old man no longer seems to be on the chessboard, but carefully observing the apprentice who has not been seen for more than half a year on the opposite side.
I only feel that the appearance of this apprentice and his temperament when playing chess do not seem to have changed, but they seem to have changed a lot.
After extinguishing it, the old man put down the chess pieces in his hand and said leisurely: "Junbao, have you been in good health recently?" ”
Seeing that he stopped, Qian Junbao also put the chess pieces into the chess box, and smiled: "It's much better, the old disease should be cured!" ”
When Sun Jiping heard this, he swept in front of him like lightning and said, "Oh, stretch out your hand and let the teacher see." ”
Qian Junbao said as he said and stretched out his left arm.
After a while, Sun Jiping let go of Qian Junbao's pulse, his heart was slightly shocked but his expression remained unchanged, he stared at Qian Junbao and said, "Sure enough, it's as you said." It seems that you don't need to be by your side tonight. ”
Qian Junbao bowed slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Qian Junbao nodding, Sun Jiping was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled again: "It seems that people are in good spirits when they are happy, which is a truth."
After you got married, it was really different from before! Just ......"
"Just what?" Qian Junbao looked up at the master and asked.
Sun Jiping smiled and said, "It's just ...... The last time I received a letter from your flying pigeon saying that you were going to get married at the behest of your parents, and now you have been married for a month, why are you still a child? ”
Qian Junbao let out a long sigh and said: "When I got married, I was in poor health, and then my father died suddenly. ”
When Sun Jiping heard this, he asked again: "Are you still satisfied with your new wife?" ”
The corners of Qian Junbao's lips curved slightly, "The apprentice is very satisfied." ”
Sun Jiping glanced at him and was surprised by his answer, but he didn't show it on his face.
It's just that the robe was unfurled, and he got up and said, "I see that the fragrant tea and snacks have been prepared, let's go to drink tea first, and then we will continue the next game later."
Qian Junbao immediately got up, "Obey the master's orders." ”
Sun Jiping likes to be quiet, so there is no one to serve them here.
After the two sat down, Qian Junbao quickly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the master first.
Sun Jiping glanced at a few refreshments, a little surprised by the delicacy of the pastries in front of him, but he didn't say anything to praise them.
Instead, he slowly picked up the Longjing tea in front of him and took a sip, savoring the mellow and refreshing taste of Longjing.
This apprentice is still the same as before, so respectful and filial to him, Longjing is the best West Lake lion before the rain.
It's just that he always has a feeling in his heart that this apprentice has changed!
Qian Junbao elegantly picked up the chopsticks, first sandwiched a piece of rose-red Dingsheng cake for the master, and put it into the empty plate in front of him.
Then he smiled and said, "I know that Master loves to drink tea, these are all made by my wife for Master, can you taste it?" ”
When Sun Jiping heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "It seems that the daughter-in-law married by my apprentice has good skills." You're in for a treat! ”
Qian Junbao smiled lightly and nodded: "Well, she is quite proficient in cooking, if the master can live here, she can also eat the dishes and snacks she cooks every day." ”
Sun Jiping was silent, took another sip of tea silently, and then picked up the Dingsheng cake at random and took a bite gently.
This pastry is really well done, soft and fragrant, sweet and glutinous in the mouth, with a sweet bean paste flavor.
A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, the taste of this Dingsheng cake was no worse than the pastry in the outer building of the building he was used to.
It seems that the woman named Ye Qing is indeed good at cooking.
