Chapter 135: Cooking Yourself
"It doesn't matter." Lin Xiaomiao shook her head, "If the prince is to blame, I will bear it." Besides, your family has also eaten a lot of the food I cooked, and it's okay to eat too much tonight. ”
Lin Xiaomiao looked left and right at the ingredients in the kitchen, calculating what she could do tonight.
Lin Fang naturally also knew that the biggest person in charge of the house now was only found in recent days, and the matter of King Jueyang was well known to everyone, and this lady ate a lot in his mouth, and he was afraid that when the people were in trouble, he would cook for the prince.
Thinking about it this way, this squeamish-looking lady should also have two brushes, after all, the children of poor families have long been in charge.
I don't know which family actually raised such a lady who doesn't look like a peasant girl at all among the people, but she is a little more expensive and good-looking than many young ladies in Beijing.
The ingredients in this kitchen are still very rich, with fresh sea bass and live pheasants...... What surprised Lin Xiaomiao even more was that there were rarely seen Jiwei shrimp.
She had a big smile on her face, and it looked like she was going to be able to show off her skills tonight.
She turned back to Lin Fang and said, "Chef Lin, can you lend me two helpers in the kitchen?" ”
Lin Xiaomiao's tone was surprisingly good, which made Lin Fang very flattered.
Lin Fang said with trepidation: "Madame, don't say this, this will be a villain, you can call me Lin Fang, you can have as many people as you want, you don't need to ask the villain, the people in this kitchen are sent by Mrs." ”
Lin Fang really doesn't look old, he is in his twenties and thirties, Lin Xiaomiao thought about it, in the end, his identity is different, in this society with obvious dignity and inferiority, if he calls Lin Fang Brother Lin, it is really inappropriate to be heard in this mansion.
She nodded, "It's okay, then I'll call you Lin Fang." ”
"Then please help me deal with that chicken, and I'll make a spicy chicken and chicken wings rice later."
Lin Xiaomiao said to the nearest servant, and when the little guy heard it, he hurriedly responded, and quickly picked up the chicken to be slaughtered in the corner and walked out, ready to deal with the chicken.
When it comes to spicy chicken, she can't help but swallow her saliva, you know, the diet of the Southern Dynasty is actually salty and sweet, and the taste is not heavy.
Naturally, the Southern Dynasties have never heard of it.
Sure enough, after listening to what Lin Xiaomiao said, Lin Fang couldn't help but ask, "Is this ...... What is Spicy Chicken? Forgive the villain for being lonely and unheard, but the villain has traveled south and north over the years, and has sung countless dishes, but he has really never heard of such a dish as spicy chicken. ”
Lin Xiaomiao's face was arrogant, "It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it, the diet of the Southern Dynasty is light, especially salty and sweet, this spicy chicken is mainly spicy as the name suggests, cut the most tender muscles into small pieces, then soak them in water and drain them, and then put them in clean water to boil, and then supplemented with onions, garlic and ginger, as well as the all-important red rice pepper." By the way, speaking of which, is there red rice pepper in the kitchen? ”
Lin Xiaomiao suddenly asked, if there is no red rice pepper in this kitchen, then what kind of spicy chicken will she make, maybe she will still make scallion oil chicken when the time comes.
Lin Fang hurriedly responded: "Yes, I just harvested a lot of good little red peppers from the countryside a few days ago, and they are all fresh." ”
Although the taste of the Southern Dynasty is weak, Lin Fang's dedication to food makes him not like other cooks in the Southern Dynasty, not only has a study of the diet of the Southern Dynasty, but also has some understanding of spiciness, so there are really a lot of chili peppers in this kitchen, just because the taste of the prince is also light, and he rarely cooks those dishes with too heavy taste on weekdays.
However, in the mansions of these dignitaries, the diet is much more diversified than that of the ordinary people.
"That's a good feeling, I'm afraid that there will be no chili peppers in this house, and I will only be able to make scallion oil chicken at that time."
Lin Fang nodded, "How is the chicken wing rice in the lady's mouth made?" ”
At this time, Lin Fang was like an inquisitive student, with a look of curiosity.
Lin Xiaomiao naturally understands that this is a hobby of food that has reached a certain point, you know, when she used to study art, she also chased after the teacher's ass all day long and asked.
"I'm afraid I can't explain it to you now, so I'll explain it to you in detail when I do it."
"Okay, then the little man will thank Madame for her advice." Lin Fang bowed and saluted Lin Xiaomiao for no reason.
Lin Xiaomiao was taken aback, "Don't be like this, I still want you to teach me too, just when we learn from each other." ”
Lin Xiaomiao asked her to handle chicken, sea bass and Jiwei shrimp.
She took the chicken that had been processed, conveniently cut off the two chicken wings, and then asked the chicken wings to be cut into small pieces, and she began to make chicken wing rice.
"Look at it, first remove the two knuckles of this chicken wing, so that the chicken wings become pocket-shaped......" Lin Xiaomiao said while raising the knife in her hand, kicking off the knuckle bone very neatly, and then adding various spices to marinate.
There are all kinds of spices on the spice table, among which Lin Xiaomiao scooped up and smelled the smell, her eyes lit up, and she turned around and asked Lin Fang, "What kind of seasoning is this, it's very fragrant?" ”
It is a seasoning that tastes similar to cooking wine, but it is more fragrant than cooking wine.
Lin Fang wiped his hands and said: "This is a spice brewed by the villain accidentally found in the countryside, in fact, the villain can't be named, but the villain has tried it, and this seasoning is very delicious when used for seasoning." ”
"Really? It's kind of interesting. ”
Lin Xiaomiao added this seasoning instead of cooking wine made from rice wine to marinate it together.
"Generally speaking, the longer the chicken wings are pickled, the better, and it is best to marinate for more than six hours, but there are definitely not so many hours to marinate now, so it doesn't hurt to shorten the time appropriately."
She marinated the chicken wings and put them aside, "Now let's not fry the rice so quickly, let's make this spicy chicken first." ”
Lin Xiaomiao poured the chicken into a pot and boiled it until it boiled, then drained the chicken and took it out, and then put the chicken into a basin with an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, pepper, cooking wine and salt to marinate.
"This chicken is going to marinate for a quarter of an hour." The quarter of an hour that Lin Xiaomiao said is equivalent to half an hour in modern times.
Everything was marinated, and Lin Xiaomiao began to spread cooking wine and salt evenly on the sea bass, she wanted to use the fish to make steamed sea bass.
Speaking of steamed sea bass, in fact, Lin Fang still has a very good set, Lin Xiaomiao put the ginger slices and green onions on it, looked at the sea bass that was ready to be steamed in the pot, and suddenly asked Lin Fang on the side: "What else should you do to make this steamed sea bass more delicious?" ”
Lin Fang is not too modest, "Actually, the villain still has some research on making this steamed sea bass, if the lady can trust the villain, then let the villain make this steamed sea bass?" ”
Lin Xiaomiao nodded, "Yes, since that's the case, then I'll leave it to you." ”
Lin Fang took the perch in Lin Xiaomiao's hand and said: "Actually, this steamed perch is not difficult, the main thing is that the heat is well mastered, and the taste is good. ”
The steamed sea bass was handed over to Lin Fang, and Lin Xiaomiao quickly made a dish of braised shrimp.
It is not difficult to braise the shrimp, that is, pour it into the hot pan of oil first, then add the green onion, ginger and garlic to stir-fry together, and then pour the shrimp into it and stir-fry together, and then pour some cooking wine......
Soon, a fragrant dish of braised shrimp was out of the pot.
When the people in the kitchen saw such a colorful braised shrimp out of the pot, their eyes were staring tightly, and their throats couldn't help but move up and down.
Lin Fang saw it, and couldn't help but praise, "I only know about the shrimp in the white boiled base, but I don't know that there is such a method as braised shrimp, Mrs. is really an eye-opener for the villain." ”
Lin Xiaomiao was very modest: "I didn't dare to take it seriously, but I tried it once by chance and found that it tasted good, so I made it." ”
After making the braised Jiwei shrimp and the marinated chicken, she first fried the chicken on a high fire until it was seven ripe, and then fished out the chicken and drained it.
Then put the green onions, ginger and garlic prepared in advance into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then put the red rice pepper in and stir-fry for a while, and then pour the chicken into it and stir-fry together......
Soon, a dish of spicy chicken was ready.
The smell of spicy chicken filled the entire kitchen, and everyone swallowed.
The chicken is not small, at least six catties in weight, except for the pair of chicken wings, there is a lot of chicken left, Lin Xiaomiao deliberately made all the remaining chicken into spicy chicken, just to let everyone in the kitchen taste it.
She understands too well the feeling of being able to look at and smell but not eat, which is extremely unbearable, and her heart is like thousands of ants crawling around, and saliva will continue to secrete.
Seeing Lin Xiaomiao divide the pot of spicy chicken into two portions, the people in the kitchen looked at this lady who seemed to be very good at cooking suspiciously.
When Lin Xiaomiao put one of the pots of Lin Xiaomiao in front of everyone, Lin Fang was also shocked, "Madam, ...... are you?"
Lin Fang only felt that Lin Xiaomiao in front of him showed a smile comparable to that of a fairy at this time: "I have made too much of this spicy chicken, I think you should have never eaten it, so I will give you some to taste." ”
Although Lin Fang was also very greedy, he still felt that this was inappropriate, which lady of this family would cook for the next person to eat, he was very frightened: "This ...... It's unacceptable......"
"Why can't you make this dish for people to eat? Why, do you still dislike the dishes I make? Lin Xiaomiao deliberately scared the people here, she felt that the concept of respect and inferiority in this era was too strong.
Lin Fang was really even more frightened, he even knelt down, "The villain doesn't dare!" ”
