Chapter Twenty-Four: Get Right
In the kitchen, Xiaoshan reported to the fat chef the dishes ordered by the prince, including sweet and sour fish and lion's head. So, the other dishes were handed over to another master to cook, and these two dishes were done by Jiang Xinyi herself, originally Jiang Xinyi just wanted to point out on the side, but when she saw the neatly placed kitchenware and condiments in the kitchen, her hands itched.
The ingredients for the sweet and sour fish have been prepared, Jiang Xinyi tried to look for it in the vegetable cabinet, and really found what she was looking for, tomatoes, hey, didn't you say that this thing was only introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty? Is there anything here? Whatever, she's not an archaeologist anyway, and if she is so serious, she will hurt brain cells.
She chopped the tomatoes and put them in a jar, mashed them into a sauce with the handle of a knife, and set them aside for later use.
Then she checked the carp that had been killed, and found that there were no cramps, so she took a knife and scratched at each of the head and tail of the fish, found the fish tendons, pinched them with her fingernails, and then slowly patted the back of the fish with the back of the knife, and under the stunned gaze of the fat man, the two tendons were pulled out, cleaned after cramps, wiped dry, and used a knife to draw five or six knives on both sides of the fish body at equal distances. Rub the carp all over the body with cooking wine, salt, and soy sauce, marinate for about ten minutes, during which she explained to the fat man why she should draw the tendons of the fish, there are two sayings, one is that people who are not in good health can not eat fish tendons, and the other is completely because the fish body will not bend because of the tendons when frying the fish.
The fat man nodded in admiration, no wonder he couldn't solve this problem when he roasted fish.
Jiang Xinyi minced ginger and garlic; Half of the chives are finely chopped and half finely shredded; Remove the seeds of the red pepper and cut into shreds; Put soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and starch in a bowl filled with water to make a sauce, evenly spread the remaining starch on the whole body of the carp, put oil in the pot and burn it until it is hot, carry the fish tail, first fry the fish head slightly, and then slowly slide the fish body into the oil, when the two sides are fried golden brown, take out the serving plate, and put about one or two oil in the pot to burn until it is hot, change the low heat and fry the ginger, green onion and garlic to fry the fragrance, fry the tomato sauce for about half a minute, change the heat to high heat and cook the sauce to thicken the pot, pour the sauce on the fish body in the plate, sprinkle the green onion and soaked red pepper shreds, A modern sweet and sour fish is ready.
Xiaoshan, who was waiting on the side, immediately served the dishes away, Jiang Xinyi specially told him not to say that the dishes were cooked by her, at first, Xiaoshan was still in the mood to see Jiang Xinyi's jokes, but now that he is convinced, I really don't see that this white and tender son can have such skills! He wanted to see what the prince and his friends would say after tasting it.
The following is ready to make braised lion's head, the fat man hurriedly gave her a hand, the ingredient that the fat man prepared before was lotus root, Jiang Xinyi was useless, and found water chestnuts as a substitute in the vegetable cabinet, because lotus root is not as refreshing as water chestnuts.
Jiang Xinyi prepared three spices, the first one, starch, appropriate amount of Chinese cabbage and green cabbage, soy sauce, water chestnut, cooking wine, green onions, ginger, pepper, eggs; the second part, starch, oil to taste; The third part, water, soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine, the condiments of this restaurant are quite complete, except for monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, she found all the things that should be there.
Jiang Xinyi instructed the fat man to peel and wash the water chestnuts and ginger respectively, wash the green onions, and cut them all into minced pieces; Wash the cabbage and cut into large pieces; Wash the cabbage, blanch it in boiling water, scoop it up, and put it on a plate for later use;
"The proportion of meat is very lean meat, three points of fat, finely chopped and coarsely chopped, the size should be like a grain of rice, not too fine, so that the meat can maintain a gap between the texture, in order to contain juice." Jiang Xinyi put aside the meat puree that had been prepared in the kitchen, explained it to the fat man, and chose another good meat, but the fat man chopped it quickly, and even the little worker next to him wanted to intervene to help, but he refused.
Jiang Xinyi put the minced meat into a bowl, beat in the eggs, add green onions, water chestnuts, minced ginger and the first seasoning and stir until sticky, knead them into meatballs by hand, evenly wrap the second seasoning, put them in a hot pan and fry them over high heat until the appearance is golden brown, remove them, drain the oil and put them on a plate;
She poured the third spice into the pot, put the Chinese cabbage and boiled over high heat, added the meatballs, changed the heat to low and cooked until the flavor was absorbed, turned off the heat, put it on a plate lined with green cabbage, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and well, a braised lion's head was ready.
Because the lion's head is also called Sixi Balls, there are only four of them per serving, and the eight of them ordered two plates. But Jiang Xinyi made more than a dozen, and after Xiaoshan came back and took it away, the fat man and several chefs in the kitchen tasted the extra lion's head, and the boss certainly had a share.
"Sure enough, Childe's cooking is really better than mine." The fat man wiped the oil on his mouth and said to Jiang Xinyi in admiration.
"Boss, how much silver taels do I have for the dishes on that table? It's over soon, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. Jiang Xinyi had enough of it, and she also satisfied her vanity, and she was afraid that Xiaoping's girl would be in a hurry, so she urged her to settle the bill quickly.
"Childe, the table of dishes should be invited by the little old man to eat, and there is no need to mention the matter of silver and silver." The boss spoke.
"Huh? Gratis? Then I won't be polite to you, so I won't leave it at that. Jiang Xinyi said a polite word, left the kitchen, found Xiaoping downstairs, said goodbye to the boss, and walked out of the restaurant.
"Master, how many taels of silver do we need for today's meal?" Xiaoping asked, carrying something in both hands.
"I didn't spend a copper plate, the boss had a treat, hehe, I didn't expect this old man to be quite good at being a man." Jiang Xinyi said appreciatively to Xiaoping.
"What? Didn't spend a single copper plate? Xiaoping was so happy, there was such a good thing?
"Master, there are still a lot of unfinished dishes on that table, what a pity, I want to give Xiaohui some to taste, but the little two moved very quickly, and they were all taken away." Xiaoping said distressedly.
"You stupid girl, you will have the opportunity to invite Xiaohui to eat in the future, besides, it is all leftover from the two of us, and it is not good to give it to Xiaohui." After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to help Xiaoping carry something, but Xiaoping avoided her.
The two of them hurriedly looked around for the spice shop, and found it, but there was no such thing as cumin at all, and the shopkeeper said that he had never heard of it.
It was not easy to come out for a trip, and they couldn't go back so early, so the two of them went to the dried fruit store again and bought melon seeds, peanuts, candied fruit or something, and packed more than a dozen packs of large and small, Xiaoping's hands really couldn't take more, and she didn't earn more with Jiang Xinyi, and Jiang Xinyi happily looked at the string of paper bags in her hand, and secretly sighed, "Snacks are these, if you want to eat potato chips and shrimp crackers, you can only dream about it." ”
Seeing that the sunset was about to go down, the two of them reluctantly went back to the courtyard wall of the palace, a lot of things happened this day, but it was okay, I didn't poke any basket, Jiang Xinyi felt that this ancient person was also quite stupid, she and Xiaoping dressed as men and were not discovered, it seems that they can come out with peace of mind in the future!
Jiang Xinyi first helped Xiaoping climb the tree, climbed over the wall, and then threw everything that could be thrown in, "Ping'er, throw a rope over and pull the steamer up, it's not easy for me to climb the tree with this." Jiang Xinyi shouted softly into the wall.
With a snap, a rope flew out and landed on the wall, "Hehe, this little girl is very fast." Jiang Xinyi admired, pulled the rope to tie up the steamer, clapped her hands and shouted;" Ping'er, okay, pull it up, be careful, don't break it. ”
Seeing the steamer slowly rising to the wall, Jiang Xinyi hurriedly shouted; "Okay, don't pull it anymore, it'll break if you pull it again." Fortunately, the other side of the wall stopped moving when they heard her shout, and the steamer stayed firmly on the wall.
"It's all at the doorstep, and if you break it again, you will be wronged." Jiang Xinyi muttered and stepped on the branch to climb up, and when she reached the top, she grabbed the wall with both hands and stepped up with one leg, "Xiaoping, pick it up." Jiang Xinyi carried the rope on the wall and slowly put the steamer down, her attention was on the steamer, and she didn't notice at all, what was the expression on Xiaoping, who was standing below and stretching out her hands waiting to receive the steamer.
OK, Jiang Xinyi saw that the steamer fell steadily into Xiaoping's hands, so she clapped her hands with confidence, turned around and prepared to come down, because the direction was not fully grasped, so her feet did not step on the chair below, but stepped on the side, the center of gravity of her body had left the wall, and it was too late for her hands to climb the wall, with Xiaoping's scream, Jiang Xinyi's body fell backwards, just when she was waiting for an intimate contact with the earth, she didn't feel pain, opened her eyes and saw that she was facing a pair of smiling faces.
"Xiao Qi, why are you here, fortunately you are here, otherwise my ass will definitely fall into three petals." Jiang Xinyi said with a hippie smile.
Wen Yeyan didn't answer immediately, and looked at the cute woman dressed as a man in her arms stupidly. completely forgot that there were several people watching next to him, and it wasn't until Liu Jun shouted "cough" a few times that he came back to his senses and put the person in his arms on the ground.
Jiang Xinyi found out that there were a total of three people in this courtyard out of thin air, Wen Yeyan, who was a little weak-hearted, Liu Jun, who looked embarrassed, and Wen Yuxin, who was angry.
She looked at Xiaoping again, and the poor girl was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled. Jiang Xinyi hurriedly walked to Xiaoping's side and whispered; "Ping'er, I'll lure that guy away, you hurry up and put away all the things we bought today, otherwise it's been a busy day, don't worry about me, it's okay." Seeing Xiaoping nodding, she turned around with confidence and told herself to calm down and see what the perverted guy wanted!
