Chapter 13: The First Culinary Scene
Before dawn on the second day, Ye Tiantian got out of bed, what he was going to do today should take a long time, and he couldn't let the Ye family notice it.
There are only half an old hen and Chinese cabbage in the Ye family's kitchen, and she plans to use these to make a famous palace dish called boiling water cabbage.
In the previous life, I carefully studied this famous dish at the state banquet, which was originally created by the famous chef Huang Jinglin in the Qing Palace, and later carried forward by the Sichuan cuisine master Luo Guorong and became a fine product at the state banquet.
And the raw materials of this dish are very simple, just using the ingredients in the Ye family's kitchen, although the seasonings are not very complete, but it should be more than enough to deal with Ye Laosan's stomach.
Ye Tiantian asked Xiaozhou to let himself out at the kitchen door, and when someone came, he coughed loudly to remind himself.
Ye Tiantian, who was in the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to clean up the chicken first, she set aside a part of it to chop into puree, and put the rest into a jar she hid, added well water and put it on the pot to boil.
Next, I boiled a small amount of water in a pot at home, went to the well to wash the Chinese cabbage, and then separated the cabbage and leaves. The preparations are almost done.
When the water in the pot boiled, Ye Tiantian first blanched the vegetable leaves with boiling water, and then went through the well water to remove the water.
Then continue with this step, blanching the leaves until they are half-cooked, and then spreading them one by one on a plate.
Then add the freshly chopped chicken to the chicken broth and stir constantly to absorb the impurities in the pot. After repeated adsorption two or three times, the chicken soup in the pot, which was originally slightly turbid, is now as clear and clear as boiling water, with a strong and mellow fragrance, not oily or greasy, and refreshing.
Add seasonings such as shallots to the pot and continue to simmer. It was almost breakfast time, but I hadn't seen Li appear in the kitchen yet.
, It seems that the Li family was really angry last night, and the Ye family is afraid that they will have to wait until Mrs. Zheng gets up for today's breakfast.
Seeing that the chicken soup in the pot was almost over, Ye Tiantian scooped out a spoonful and tasted it, and was still very satisfied.
She then scooped spoonful by spoonful into the plate where the cabbage had been laid out until it was completely cooked.
Then poured the chicken soup used to blanch the cabbage into another bowl, although when he learned this dish in the previous life, he had to pour out the chicken soup that blanched the cabbage, but in this life, he didn't pay so much attention here, and it was a pity that this chicken soup was wasted, and Ye Tiantian was ready to drink it himself.
After that, it's time for the final step in making the dish. Ye Tiantian poured the clearest chicken soup on the cabbage, and then used the remaining chicken soup to cook the cabbage heart, Xiaozhou was growing her body, and Ye Tiantian was going to secretly add food to her.
After all the steps were completed, Ye Tiantian called Xiaozhou back, Ye Xiaozhou sniffed all the way, and said excitedly: "Sister, this is too fragrant!" Sister is amazing! “
Looking at Ye Xiaozhou's little gluttonous appearance, Ye Tiantian couldn't help laughing.
She scratched Ye Xiaozhou's nose and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, little glutton, I will bring this to the third uncle, you eat this bowl, it is full of meat." “
Ye Xiaozhou rubbed his nose and pretended to complain and said, "Sister, why do you always scratch my nose, it's all broken." ”
Looking at the bowl full of chicken and cabbage hearts, and smelling the aroma of chicken soup, Xiaozhou felt that he could eat a whole old hen.
But she found that there was only one bowl on the stove with food, and asked Ye Tiantian puzzled: "Sister, where is your food?" ”
Ye Tiantian pointed to the other bowl of soup and explained to Ye Xiaozhou: "I'm not hungry yet, it's like drinking some soup, you don't have to wait for me, let's eat first." ”
After saying that, Ye Tiantian walked out of the kitchen with a bowl, and he had to send it to Ye Laosan quickly, otherwise he would fall short if he was seen by the Li family or Mrs. Zheng.
Ye Tiantian walked to the door of Ye Laosan's room, and called the third uncle softly, thinking that Ye Laosan hadn't gotten up yet, Ye Tiantian was about to go in directly and put it on the table, but he didn't expect the door to open suddenly.
Ye Laosan was stunned for a moment when he saw that the person in front of him was Ye Tiantian, but his eyes were immediately attracted by what she was holding, and he asked suspiciously, "What is this?" “
"Third uncle, I saw that my aunt didn't cook for you recently, so I cooked it myself, I'm afraid that you will be hungry, and I'm afraid that grandma will not be happy, you can eat it while it's hot."
Ye Laosan heard Ye Tiantian's answer, and glanced at the plate of bland cabbage with disdain, the clear soup and white water, it didn't look delicious. waved his hand in disgust and asked Ye Tiantian to take it back.
Of course, Ye Tiantian knew that it was impossible to impress Ye Laosan with her appearance, so she raised the plate a little higher, pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Third uncle, you can eat a little, you are hungry, grandma will be unhappy." “
Suddenly, a burst of fragrance rushed into Ye Laosan's nose, I don't know why, this plate of cabbage turned out to be fragrant, Ye Laosan thought that he was really hungry, and he had to take the plate when he looked at Ye Tiantian.
Watching Ye Laosan walk into the room with a plate, Ye Tiantian returned to the kitchen, she believed that Ye Laosan would definitely eat the dish she made.
After returning to the kitchen, Ye Tiantian found that Ye Xiaozhou was adding meat to his bowl, his heart suddenly soured, he took a deep breath, and walked in.
Ye Tiantian walked in and saw that his bowl was full of chicken, and Ye Xiaozhou's bowl except for a few small pieces of meat, the rest were cabbage hearts.
Pretending to be angry, Ye Tiantian frowned and said, "Xiaozhou, what are you doing." ”
Ye Xiaozhou was frightened by Ye Tiantian's blame, pursed his mouth, and said pitifully: "Sister, I don't want to eat meat alone, I know that Sister is all for me, Sister Don't be angry." ”
Hearing Ye Xiaozhou's aggrieved words, Ye Tiantian couldn't pretend to be angry, picked up Ye Xiaozhou's bowl and said earnestly: "Xiaozhou, you are growing your body, my sister is not hungry, if you do this again, my sister will be really angry, my sister has a way to get food, don't worry about me." ”
Ye Xiaozhou originally wanted to stop Ye Tiantian from eating the bowl without meat, but after listening to it, she still chose to listen to her sister's words, if her sister was angry, she would be even more sad.
Seeing Ye Xiaozhou eating obediently, Ye Tiantian also smiled, and the two sisters were happily eating in the kitchen for a while. Both bowls bottomed out.
The rest of the Ye family didn't seem to be doing anything because the Li family didn't get up to make breakfast, and the Ye family's lobby was very quiet.
Ye Tiantian guessed that it was because of yesterday's quarrel, the Li family was still angry, and the Ye family was all heavy-skinned, and no one was willing to bow their heads first.
Mrs. Zheng doesn't eat breakfast, so she doesn't have the habit of making breakfast, and it seems that today is waiting for Mrs. Zheng to make lunch.
After eating, Ye Tiantian washed the pots and bowls, put the kitchen in order, and then sat down at the kitchen door, quietly waiting for the show to happen.
