Chapter 22: The Lack of Spices

After returning to Ye's house, Ye Tiantian hurriedly entered the kitchen and started to make lunch, because he was looking for chili peppers, he was delayed in the market for too long, and the lunch time was already very close.

Ye Xiaozhou is not in the kitchen, it seems that he should go to work in the field, and he can't be his own cook, fortunately, the dishes he bought at the market today are not very difficult to make, Ye Tiantian began to prepare.

At the market, Ye Tiantian saw fresh tofu that had just been made, so he bought some back, and then bought a handful of vegetables and a few catties of pork.

Prepare yourself to make a dish of mapo tofu and back pot pork, and then add a dish of stir-fried vegetables.

Seeing that it might be too late, Ye Tiantian was ready to cook both dishes on one stove at the same time.

First, cut the tofu into small pieces, boil the oil and water in two pots, put the pork in the unboiled water, throw in a slice of ginger, and pour in the rice wine that was just bought from the market.

Ye Tiantian is not sure whether the rice wine can play a seasoning role, but if the taste is the same, it should not be unpleasant to add to the dish, and then the peppercorns should be put in the oil pot.

In the place where the peppercorns were hidden behind the pyre, Ye Tiantian only found the last bit of dried peppercorns, and it seemed that he was going to go up the mountain to pick a little peppercorns as soon as possible.

Without chili peppers to make Sichuan cuisine, Ye Tiantian is not very accustomed to it, if there is no pepper, Ye Tiantian will not know what the taste of his dishes will be.

Divide the last bit of Sichuan pepper and throw it into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, add the sauce and minced meat that Ye Tian Tian prepared before, stir-fry until the color is even, and then add the tofu.

At the same time, cook the pork in the other pot until it can be easily pierced with chopsticks, then remove the pork, put it aside to cool, and gently turn the tofu with the other hand to prevent the tofu from sticking to the pot.

Before he had time to make the sweet potatoes he bought back into simple starch, Ye Tiantian could only boil and collect the juice, make mapo tofu into minced meat and roast tofu, and put it on the stove.

Then use the pot to cook the tofu to prepare the fried vegetables, wash the pot and add the oil, and when the oil is hot, add the freshly washed vegetables.

After the meat is almost cold, it has to be cut into thin slices, this is the place where the knife skills are tested, it is too thin, it will be broken when fried, it is too thick, and it cannot be fried.

Ye Tiantian's knife work in the previous life has always been the reason why she failed to become the first Sichuan chef, although this time it was made for the Ye family, but Ye Tiantian didn't want to be sloppy.

After carefully cutting the pork, Ye Tiantian twisted up a piece and looked at it, his knife skills have not been practiced for so many days, and he has still regressed a little.

Ye Tiantian shook his head, what he should think about most now was how to finish this meal as soon as possible.

She boiled the pot dry and added oil, heated the pot over high heat, put the sliced meat into the pot, and stir-fried until the meat slices were curled, the fat was transparent, and the oil of the pork was fried.

Add salt and soy sauce to the vegetables in the other pot and stir-fry a few times before they are also served out of the pan. Put it together with the freshly fried mapo tofu.

Then push the meat in the pot next to it to one side, pour in the peppercorns, stir-fry the special sauce, and when you see the color of the oil turning red, you can pull the meat chop over and stir well.

Pour in rice wine, salt and sugar, stir-fry evenly, and add a handful of vegetables.

After putting it out of the pot, Ye Tiantian didn't know what this plate of meat that looked okay and what it tasted like.

She tasted it carefully, and although it didn't look like back to the pot meat, it was at least not unpleasant.

The rice on the small stove was also steamed, and Ye Tiantian hurriedly finally put all the dishes, chopsticks and meals in place before Boss Ye and the others came back from farm work, and returned to the kitchen by himself.

Ye Xiaozhou should be back soon, Ye Tiantian used the dishes and chopsticks he had hidden in the kitchen to pack the small part of the meal he had set aside, and sat on the bed while resting while thinking about what his cooking was missing.

The sweet potatoes, powdered sugar, and rice wine that he bought from the market in the morning were all hidden, and he was worried that if Li suddenly entered the kitchen one day and saw these things, he would not be able to explain them.

Now the relationship between himself and the Ye family is too delicate, and he doesn't know when this strange balance will be broken, so it's better to be careful with everything.

Ye Tiantian's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Ye Xiaozhou entering the kitchen, looking at Ye Xiaozhou who was sweating profusely, Ye Tiantian was very distressed.

But she knew that Ye Xiaozhou was willing to do it, and she didn't want Xiaozhou to spoil her fun.

Taking over the tools that Xiaozhou was carrying, Ye Tiantian raised his arm and wiped the sweat on Ye Xiaozhou's face with his sleeve, and asked her to sit down to eat quickly, Ye Xiaozhou's eyes lit up when she looked at the food that Ye Tiantian left her.

Ye Tiantian and Ye Xiaozhou sat on the bed and ate together, because there was no table in the kitchen, so the two of them could only put the food on the bed, but the sisters were not affected at all, and they both ate very happily.

"Sister, you... Cooking is really too... It's delicious, I want to be every day... Eat the meals you cook every day. Ye Xiaozhou stuffed his mouth and said vaguely.

Seeing that Ye Xiaozhou really loves to eat the food he cooks, Ye Tiantian feels very happy.

In her heart, Ye Xiaozhou has always been a child, no matter how sensible or obedient she is, Ye Tiantian hopes that Xiaozhou will be happy.

After having lunch with Ye Xiaozhou, Ye Tiantian estimated that the Ye family should have eaten almost, and was about to go to the lobby to clean up the dishes, Ye Xiaozhou saw Ye Tiantian get up and wanted to follow her to help.

Knowing that Ye Xiaozhou had been working hard all morning, Ye Tiantian didn't want her to be tired anymore, so he ordered Ye Xiaozhou and said, "Xiaozhou, you just sit here and wait for me, otherwise I will be angry." ”

Seeing Ye Tiantian's pretended angry face, Ye Xiaozhou pouted and said aggrievedly, "Okay." ”

After pacifying Ye Xiaozhou, Ye Tiantian arrived in the lobby, and there was no one in the lobby, only a mess left after eating.

Ye Tiantian said to himself while cleaning up: "If you become a chef, you have to be a dishwashing girl, alas, who would have thought that my generation of famous chefs would become like this now." ”

Carrying the dishes and chopsticks back to the kitchen, Ye Tiantian began to clean them slowly, and the Ye family had to go out to continue their farm work after lunch.

However, I have already applied to Mrs. Zheng, so I don't have to go to the field anymore, and I should be able to take the opportunity to make some of the seasonings I need this afternoon.

After cleaning the kitchen, Ye Tiantian felt sorry for Ye Xiaozhou who was working too hard, and it happened that she also had to go up the mountain to prepare seasonings. So he helped Xiaozhou carry the tools to the ground.

Looking at Ye Xiaozhou's hard work, Ye Tiantian felt very distressed.

Ye Tiantian didn't want Xiaozhou to discover his emotions, so he said goodbye to Xiaozhou and went up the mountain, this time Ye Tiantian learned to be smart, and didn't go to the path he didn't know anymore.
