Chapter 121: The Second Competition
Mo Zhenlin nodded, Ye Xiaozhou's learning progress this morning was much faster than he expected, if this girl had always had such enthusiasm, the future would be immeasurable.
Seeing that Grandpa Mo agreed, Ye Tiantian took Ye Xiaozhou to the hall of Zhongji Hall and found a place to sit down.
Ye Xiaozhou looked at Ye Tiantian and seemed to be a little worried, and asked worriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you, why are you unhappy, it's today's competition... Lost? ”
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaozhou could see that he was a little worried now, Ye Tiantian hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Sister won the competition today, but Sister Tomorrow's topic Sister hasn't figured out how to do it yet." ”
Ye Xiaozhou tilted his head and didn't understand a little, didn't Sister Ah come up with the question in the second competition, why Sister Ah couldn't do it, it was a strange thing.
However, Ye Xiaozhou felt that it was most important to comfort Ye Tiantian, so he gently touched Ye Tiantian's back and said, "It's okay, don't worry, you can definitely do it." ”
Seeing Ye Xiaozhou pretending to be an adult, Ye Tiantian was successfully amused, and when the two sisters were laughing and playing, the guy came over and said to Ye Tiantian and Ye Xiaozhou: "Miss Ye, the meal is ready, the shopkeeper will let you go up to eat." ”
I didn't expect to trouble Grandpa Mo again, Ye Tiantian was a little embarrassed, and took Ye Xiaozhou up to the second floor to the dining room, where Grandpa Mo had already sat down.
The strange thing is that Chu Chen is not in Zhongji Hall today, Ye Tiantian thinks that he should have gone to deal with things again, and he didn't ask, so he and Ye Xiaozhou had a happy meal together.
During the meal, Grandpa Mo asked Ye Tiantian with concern how things were going in today's competition, and Ye Tiantian said happily and worriedly: "Grandpa Mo, I won the competition today, but I have no clue about tomorrow's topic." ”
"Oh? What's the topic of tomorrow? Can you tell grandpa, grandpa will help you figure out a way. Seeing that Ye Tiantian was a little worried, Mo Zhenlin also wanted to help her.
Ye Tiantian shook her head, she didn't want others to help in her own competition, so it would seem that she was cheating, so she should think about it herself.
Suddenly, Ye Tiantian tasted a sour taste in his mouth, and it didn't conflict with the taste of the dish, Ye Tiantian tasted it carefully, it should be the taste of tangerine peel.
Ye Tiantian had a flash of inspiration, and thought of a dish he had made in his previous life, which was also related to tangerine peel, and tangerine peel is a medicinal material, which is also consistent with the key to bringing forth the new.
However, he doesn't have tangerine peel in his hand now, but Zhongjitang definitely has it, so Ye Tiantian was a little embarrassed and said, "Grandpa Mo, can I ask you something?" ”
Hearing Ye Tiantian say this, Mo Zhenlin was a little puzzled, what was the matter, and let this little girl beg him, nodded and said, "Okay, girl, what do you say." ”
Ye Tiantian said with a little hesitation: "Grandpa Mo, can you lend me a medicinal herb, I want to use it in the competition tomorrow, but I don't have it at home." ”
Mo Zhenlin didn't feel strange at all by adding Chinese medicinal materials to the dish, his chef had always done this, so he nodded and said, "No problem, girl, what do you want?" ”
"Tangerine peel, I want to borrow a few taels of tangerine peel back, because I haven't tried it yet, so I want to give it a try, and if I can, I will use it in the competition tomorrow." Ye Tiantian replied.
Hearing Ye Tiantian say tangerine peel, Ye Xiaozhou hurriedly took it over and said: "Tangerine peel has a bitter taste, bitter taste, and a warm nature. Return to the lungs and spleen meridians. Regulates qi and strengthens the spleen, dries and damps and dissolves phlegm. It is used for abdominal distention, less eating, vomiting and diarrhea, and coughing and phlegm. ”
In fact, Ye Tiantian didn't know what the effect of tangerine peel was, so when he heard what Ye Xiaozhou said, he also felt taught, nodded and said, "Yes, it's this tangerine peel." ”
Mo Zhenlin's eyes also flashed a glimmer of light, I didn't expect this little girl to remember so skillfully, and she only taught her a few times in the afternoon, it seems that she is a talent for recognizing medicine, which is comparable to Chu Chen back then.
Tangerine peel is not a precious medicinal material, there are many in Zhongji Hall, Mo Zhenlin said to Ye Tiantian: "Girl, you can go directly to the astragalus to get it, whatever medicinal materials you want to use in the future, you can take it yourself, it doesn't matter, we are a family." ”
Hearing Grandpa Mo say this, Ye Tiantian was a little moved, he had never felt anything about the word family, but since he had Ye Xiaozhou, and then met Grandpa Mo, Ye Tiantian felt that he understood what family was.
Ye Xiaozhou didn't want to go back with Ye Tiantian after eating, saying that she still wanted to read for a while, so Ye Tiantian didn't force her, and went back with five taels of tangerine peel by herself.
This time, what Ye Tiantian was going to cook was nine tangerine peel beef, and when he saw this recipe for the first time, Ye Tiantian felt that the name of this dish did not sound like Sichuan cuisine, and thought that the master was mistaken, but he didn't expect that the history of this dish was still very long.
Ye Tiantian didn't go home directly after leaving Zhongjitang, because Ye Xiaozhou wanted to stay in Zhongjitang, and there were no ingredients he needed at home, and Ye Tiantian didn't want to spend his own money to buy them, so it wasn't cost-effective.
Thinking about it, it is better to try the dishes in Yifengju, and before Ye Tiantian left Yifengju in the morning, Zhong Yuan had already left, so no one would disturb him, so Ye Tiantian was much more relieved.
Sure enough, when he arrived in the kitchen of Yifengju, there was no one in it, Ye Tiantian felt that this was exactly what he wanted, so he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to start.
This dish uses beef, and in the area where the meat is placed in the back kitchen, Ye Tiantian rummaged around and picked a piece of beef that he liked and took it back to his stove.
Ye Tiantian first removed the meridians of the beef, then cut it into small cubes, poured oil into the pot, heated it, put the beef in it, squeezed the water and took it out.
At this time, Ye Tiantian remembered that he had not taken the colander that he had asked the blacksmith to play that day, and he hadn't been there for several days, and he didn't know if the master would return it to the furnace to rebuild it, so Ye Tiantian decided to go home tonight to take a look.
Pulling back his thoughts, ye tiantian concentrated on the dish in front of him, boiling water in another pot, throwing the freshly fried diced beef into it and boiling, almost one to two hours later, and then again
Then soak the tangerine peel in water to soften, then chop it with dried chili peppers and ginger, chop the washed green onions, peel and chop the garlic, and set aside when these are ready.
Ye Tiantian put oil in the pot to heat, throw in the dried chili peppers, chopped green onions, minced ginger, garlic paste, chili noodles, Sichuan pepper powder, rice wine, and then stir-fry them evenly with a spatula. ,
The next step is to pour in the diced beef, as well as the original juice left over from the stewed beef, then add soy sauce, salt, and powdered sugar, stir well, and reduce the juice over high heat.
