Chapter 215: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner for Two People
An Pengfei followed Jiang Xinyi back to his yard, and on the way, both of them had a heart, and no one spoke. It wasn't until he arrived in the kitchen that Jiang Xinyi put on an apron for herself before An Pengfei spoke.
"Yi Xin, this is the New Year, how can I let you cook again, it's better for me to treat the second brother, let's go to Juxian Mansion to eat." An Pengfei was behind her, and she discussed.
"It's because of the Chinese New Year that I have to cook and eat at home. Only after such a year can it taste. Rest assured, it's still early, and you won't be hungry until midnight today. Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.
"But it was worth the wait that night, and I got something delicious." An Pengfei said with infinite aftertaste.
"There's something good to eat tonight, but are you really sure you're not going anywhere?" Jiang Xinyi reminded him again.
"Well, no, do you have somewhere to go? Do you want me to go with you? An Pengfei thought that she wanted to go back to Jiang Xiangfu to see her father and brother, but she didn't dare to go back because she left King Yu, so she took the initiative to ask.
Yes, not to mention that a woman who was divorced by a man is looked down upon by her family and others, even a woman who runs away from home is the same.
"Second brother, you are idle anyway, why don't you come and help me." Jiang Xinyi avoided An Pengfei's question, and took out another apron and threw it to him.
"It's okay to help, but why do you have to wear this?" An Pengfei grabbed the apron and said with a frown.
"Put it on, you don't have to stain the robes, and Ping'er and them have to work hard to wash." Jiang Xinyi put down the things in her hand and came over to forcibly help him tie his apron.
"You feel sorry for them." An Pengfei looked down at the apron on his body and said.
"It's all a family, of course we have to care for each other." Jiang Xinyi said and took out a fish in the basin to clean it up.
One of the best things in winter is that you don't have to worry about the meat and vegetables going bad, and there is a natural refrigerator outside. The fish was delivered from outside this morning, Jiang Xinyi left one, and let them send the rest into the big kitchen.
"What do you want me to do?" An Pengfei asked thoughtlessly.
"Go and chop up that goose for me." Jiang Xinyi said and pointed to a goose next to him that had plucked its "feathers" and hollowed out its internal organs and said to him.
An Pengfei measured the goose with a kitchen knife for a long time, and he didn't know how to stomp.
"Oh, you're still a fool of the rivers and lakes, and you can't even stomp a goose." Jiang Xinyi looked at him and shook her head and said.
"Yi Xin, you can't say that about me, what does it have to do with stomping geese when you mix in the rivers and lakes?" An Pengfei asked very aggrievedly.
"It doesn't matter, it's already common for you to cut people with a knife, but now, you can't even do this little thing." Jiang Xinyi pouted and said.
"Just because you can fight and kill people doesn't mean you can do this." An Pengfei didn't understand how these two things could be compared.
Jiang Xinyi put down the fish in her hand, picked up the kettle on the brazier, poured some hot water to wash her hands, walked to An Pengfei's side, and squeezed him away; "Get out of the way, look at me."
After speaking, Jiang Xinyi raised the knife in her hand, and chopped a goose into even pieces in a few clicks.
"See, it's such a simple matter, don't tell me in the future that you are playing with knives." Jiang Xinyi said to An Pengfei while putting the stomped-on goose into a small basin to clean.
"I usually let the enemy kill with one move, how can such a thing happen." An Pengfei was criticized for being useless for the first time, and muttered a little unhappily in his heart.
This is true, even if he meets the most hateful person, he will not take people to stomp on him!
"Alright, you go and light the fire." Jiang Xinyi arranged for him to go to the stove pit.
Burning the fire, An Pengfei is still quite good, and he lit the fire all of a sudden. Then I watched Jiang Xinyi skillfully busy, put the things in a small basin and stew them on the stove, cutting them for a while, and stir-frying them for a while.
The kitchen was filled with fragrance and oil smoke, and An Pengfei wanted to stand up and watch her stir-fry several times, but he was afraid that the stove would not burn well, and he was blamed by her, so he had to burn the fire honestly.
But fortunately, Jiang Xinyi didn't let An Pengfei wait long, so she clapped her hands and said; "Second brother, it's okay, you can go out and wait, and by the way, prepare the dishes, chopsticks and wine glasses."
"Don't you need me to help serve the food?" An Peng flew to the stove to take a look, and there were a few plates with large bowls detained. It smells very good, but I don't know the true face of Lushan.
"No need, you can go out and wait." Jiang Xinyi drove him, then took out a stone from a jar + passion, lifted another piece of silk cloth, and finally took out two things.
An Pengfei was about to go out, but when he saw what Jiang Xinyi was holding in his hand, he turned around curiously and came back to ask; "What is this?"
"Can't see it?" Jiang Xinyi handed him the things in her hand and asked.
"I don't see it." An Pengfei replied honestly.
"Call you stupid, you're still not convinced, aren't these the pig ears we bought together that day?" Jiang Xinyi shook the things in his hand in front of his eyes again, and said helplessly.
"Yi Xin, you can fool me, where are these pig ears." An Pengfei took a closer look and said.
"Ugh." Jiang Xinyi didn't know what to say, she just took the pig ears cooked in the sauce pot, rolled them together while they were hot, and then pressed them with a heavy object, and it was like this after it was cold. She's got it last day.
Jiang Xinyi put the pig's ears on the cutting board, cut them into thin slices with a knife, and then placed them on the plate.
"Huh? It's really pig ears. An Pengfei reacted at this time.
"Let's get out." Jiang Xinyi handed the plate with the pig's ears to An Pengfei.
After An Peng flew into the restaurant, he prepared the dishes, chopsticks, and wine glasses, and moved a wine jar in the corner of the wall and put it in the corner of the table, so that he had to stand up and scoop the wine when he was happy.
Then, he stared at the pig ears that were evenly thick and neatly stacked on the plate, they were so beautiful, how did she figure it out?
Subsequently, Jiang Xinyi brought out all the dishes in the kitchen.
Then, An Pengfei was dumbfounded again.
The dishes on the table, four hot and four cold dishes, each of them irritated his eyes. Needless to say, just looking at it makes people salivate.
"Yi Xin, it's really you, it's not the second brother, I've been in the kitchen, I won't believe it if I kill me, you did it." An Pengfei praised it convincingly.
"Hehe, it's not just a matter of seeing if it's delicious, you have to taste it with your mouth." Jiang Xinyi motioned for him to hurry up and move his chopsticks.
"Then you'll have to tell me what it's called." An Pengfei still couldn't bear to touch those good-looking dishes with his chopsticks, and asked.
"This is called Guifei chicken wings, but I have to change its name in the restaurant in the future, Guifei is our eldest brother's mother. This is called stewed beef brisket with radish, stewed goose with bean drums, sweet and sour carp, mille-feuille, belly clear, spiced beef, and kimchi. Jiang Xinyi pointed and said the name of each dish on the table.
An Pengfei was dumbfounded, he had been wandering on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he had never eaten any wine and food, but it was the first time he had seen such a cooking method and name.
"Come, second brother, for the sake of our acquaintance, for us to be able to drink at the same table, let's have a drink." Jiang Xinyi raised her wine glass as she spoke.
An Pengfei also picked up his wine glass movingly, touched the glass with her, and the two of them drank it all.
"Second brother, hurry up and try it." Jiang Xinyi was anxious to see his reaction and urged.
An Pengfei took the chopsticks and measured it on the table, and he was not sure which dish to start with first. In the end, I decided to try the beautiful pig ears first.
"Well, it's delicious, it's crispy." After An Pengfei ate a slice, he gave Jiang Xinyi a thumbs up.
"Well, second brother, you are a real eater, and the characteristics of this dish are summarized in four words." Jiang Xinyi also praised him.
An Pengfei pinched another chicken wing, and after taking a bite, he nodded again and again.
"Second brother, this dish has a flaw, it's a pity." Jiang Xinyi pointed to the concubine's chicken wings and said to An Pengfei.
"yes, I don't think it's really delicious." An Pengfei said with a smile.
"This dish is missing one of the main condiments." Jiang Xinyi said with a little regret.
"What is it, can't you buy it in this capital?" An Pengfei really wants to know what this dish will be delicious without regrets.
"Wine is wine made from grapes." Jiang Xinyi said.
"That's a little difficult, I've eaten wine, but this thing is very rare, Yi Xin, if you need it, the second brother will find a way to find it for you." An Pengfei said with a guarantee.
"Really, then thank you second brother, but don't worry, before the restaurant opens, you can find it, I want to make this dish the signature dish of our restaurant." Jiang Xinyi said happily, took a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.
"Are you going to move all these dishes into the restaurant?" An Pengfei asked.
Jiang Xinyi nodded.
"Hehe, no wonder you got this kitchen, you have planned it a long time ago." An Pengfei had to say with admiration.
"That's right, I want us to make the dishes in the building, which are different from theirs, I want the dishes that I can make, make everything once, and then give you a taste, and if you are satisfied, it's okay." Jiang Xinyi said proudly.
"Oh, so you were so kind to cook food for me, do you have other intentions?" An Pengfei asked with a smile.
"What, you don't like it? Then I can come in with someone else. Jiang Xinyi said deliberately.
"No, how can you let someone else do such an important thing, I'd better sacrifice it." An Pengfei pretended to be very reluctant and said.
This meal, eaten from the afternoon until dark, Jiang Xinyi and An Pengfei did not say anything else on the table except for the topic of each dish.
It is said that they spit out the truth after drinking, but the two people in this restaurant are different, the more they drink, the less they talk, and in the end, the two people at the wine table actually drank dumb wine.
Fortunately, half of the dishes on the table are cold dishes, otherwise you won't be able to drink when it's cold.
An Pengfei wanted to take this opportunity to confess to her, but he didn't have the courage. He was afraid that if she got angry, then the relationship with her would be very awkward in the future.
Jiang Xinyi felt that she was almost drunk, she looked at the handsome guy in front of her drunken eyes, thinking about whether to let him know her business.
When the wine was almost drunk, the two of them walked out of the courtyard and looked at the red lanterns that filled the garden.
When the lantern will be lit, Jiang Xinyi doesn't know, but An Pengfei does.
"Second brother, wait a minute, you come to my yard, I have something to say to you." Jiang Xinyi said hesitantly.
"Well, you wait." An Pengfei promised to run back to his yard, and immediately returned with a large package in his hand.
"Yi Xin, today, everyone in the whole house is wearing new clothes, but you have forgotten yourself. Fortunately, I have prepared a gift for you, second brother, I hope you like it. However, Yi Xin, after you read it, don't be angry. If you don't like it, throw it away, just treat it as if the second brother didn't give it away. An Pengfei said, lowered his head and made a lot of determination, stuffed the package into Jiang Xinyi's hand, and took a few steps back.
"What is it that makes such a mystery?" Jiang Xinyi wanted to unravel it.
"Yi Xin, will you take a look back at your yard? If you still want to see me in an hour, hang this furoshiki on the door. An Pengfei mustered up the courage to finish speaking, turned around and ran into his yard first.
What do you mean? Jiang Xinyi shook her head a little dizzy and thought?
