Chapter 57: Preparation
Chen Qiaoqiao smiled and prepared the next dish. The next dish is braised lion's head, because the pork bought by Wu Er's family has 30% of the fat, which is the first choice for making this dish, Chen Qiaoqiao saw that the rice of Wu Er's family had been steamed, so she instructed her to chop the pork and make it into pork filling, add chopped green onions, minced ginger, soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, eggs and water starch to the pork filling, and keep stirring in one direction with chopsticks until the pork filling is stirred and viscous.
Divide the minced pork into equal portions, dip your hands in a little water, and form large meatballs.
Heat the oil in the pan over high heat, and when it is hot, gently put the large meatballs in, and carefully push and roll the meatballs so that they can be evenly heated to maintain their shape, because the meatballs are larger, the upper part of the meatballs will be exposed to the oil, so use a soup spoon to scoop up the hot oil in the pot and pour it on the large meatballs repeatedly. Wait until the meatballs are completely discolored, then drain with a colander and set aside.
Put the fried meatballs in a soup bowl, then add soy sauce, water and cooking wine, put them in a steamer and steam them on high heat for 15 minutes.
Move the steamed meatballs into the plate, pour the soup in the dish into the pot and boil over high heat, add water starch to thicken the juice, and finally pour it on the meatballs, and then use the green vegetables to decorate the fat and lean meat with ruddy and oily shiny, with the green greens to cover it, the bright color and the tangy fragrance will arouse the appetite just by looking at it, and the mellow and fragrant meat pieces and juices are irresistible top delicious.
Before Chen Qiaoqiao could speak, Zhen'er had already shouted, "Grandmother! I want to eat! Chen Qiaoqiao brought a bowl, picked up a meatball, and instructed: "Eat slowly, be careful of choking!" ”
"Madame's craftsmanship is really brilliant! I've also opened my eyes, Madame, can cook any kind of cuisine? ”
This Wu Erjia used to be a helper in the tavern, and she was quite knowledgeable, and she had already seen that Chen Qiaoqiao's three dishes were all different cuisines. Chen Qiaoqiao had no choice but to laugh, "My lord had a lot of knowledge and insight when he was alive, and he always talked about the dishes he said, so I'll just give it a try!" ”
"Give it a try?" The suspicion revealed in Wu Erjia's eyes deepened, such a craft, I'm afraid it won't be something that will come if you try it, right? "Wu Er's family, look at how the rice is, don't steam it for too long!" Chen Qiaoqiao didn't want to talk to her too much, so she hurriedly diverted her attention.
Wu Erjia hurriedly stared at her own rice, she was only responsible for this, if she couldn't do it well, her face would be lost.
Chen Qiaoqiao looked at the cleaned goose and really thought about it, this goose is also a good thing, the goose meat is flat and sweet; Return to the spleen and lung meridians. It has the functions of invigorating qi and replenishing deficiency, quenching thirst in the stomach, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, and detoxification. Suitable for physical weakness. People who are deficient in qi and blood and malnourished eat it. Nourish deficiency and invigorate qi, warm the stomach and rejuvenate the body. Those who are often thirsty, fatigued, short of breath, and loss of appetite can often drink goose soup and eat goose meat, and their bodies will slowly get better.
For such things, the way of cooking should be simple, and not break its original nutrients.
Chen Qiaoqiao washed the goose meat and cut it into pieces; Winter bamboo shoots cut hob blocks; Slice green onion and ginger;
Heat the oil, stir-fry the bean paste, green onion slices and ginger slices in the pot, wait for the fragrance, put the goose meat into the slightly stir-fry, cook in the cooking wine, soy sauce, add refined salt and monosodium glutamate and continue to stir-fry;
When the meat is colored, add an appropriate amount of boiling water, after boiling, turn to low heat and burn slowly, and when the meat is cooked, put in the pepper and green bamboo shoots, and the green bamboo shoots can be cooked after cooking. The meat of the goose is coarse, so Chen Qiaoqiao simmers it for a while while when cooking, and cooks it until the goose meat is completely crispy. Salty and delicious, the goose meat is fragrant.
"Huifang! This is a good thing, you have to drink more goose broth later, look at your body, it's still too thin, not suitable for childbirth! Chen Qiaoqiao looked at Xu Huifang's narrow pelvis and shook her head secretly, this ancient medical facility is not good, and the proportion of dystocia is also high.
Chen Qiaoqiao looked at herself, she was also very slender, and she really doubted how the original owner, Chen, gave birth to twins. Xu Huifang's face suddenly turned red, and she muttered, "My daughter-in-law knows!" ”
Chen Qiaoqiao knew that she was shy, so she didn't say much, so she told Xu Huifang to cut vegetables. Xu Huifang ordered the chicken to be cut into the same cubes, soaked in cooking wine monosodium glutamate, salt, green onions, ginger juice cut into cubes, and starch, and tasted, "Mother-in-law, what does this chicken mother-in-law want to do?" Xu Huifang was very curious, her mother-in-law's dishes were very novel, and she was looking forward to how Chen Qiaoqiao would handle the chicken.
Chen Qiaoqiao smiled mysteriously, "You just look at it, you definitely haven't eaten the chicken made by your mother-in-law today!" "The ancients all ate stewed chicken or roast chicken, fried chicken should be rare, Chen Qiaoqiao decided to make fried chicken.
Put it in the steamer and steam it for about five minutes. After the chicken is steamed, it is ready to be fried in the oil pan, put the cooked chicken into the batter and wrap it evenly before frying, and then put it into the pot when the oil temperature reaches 8 into the heat, when the chicken is fried to golden brown, take it out and slice it with a knife, and put the cut meat slices into the plate. Let's make fish sauce, put the green onion, ginger and garlic into the oil pot and fry until fragrant, then put in the pickled chili, salt and sugar, cooking wine and vinegar, stir-fry a few times, for the beauty of the dish, remove the residue, and then add water starch, stir well and pour the beaten fish sauce on the chicken thigh. Crispy and delicious, sweet and sour and slightly spicy fish-flavored crispy chicken is ready.
The smell of fried chicken wafted all over the room, not to mention Zhen'er's saliva flowed, even this Xu Huifang also felt that her index finger moved, such a novel practice Xu Huifang had never seen, even Wu Er's family was also surprised, "It's the first time I've heard that this chicken can be fried!" ”
Chen Qiao smiled, looking at Zhen'er's salivating appearance, she suddenly felt a little melancholy, in this life, you will never be able to eat KFC again! In the past, when the summer was unbearable, my favorite thing was to order a three-dollar crispy cone with a group of friends, rub around at KFC, and enjoy the air conditioning. "Grandmother! I'm going to eat chicken! With Zhen'er's shout, Chen Qiaoqiao was pulled back to reality, she knew that the temptation of fried chicken was huge for children, but she deliberately teased Zhen'er, "Zhen'er hasn't eaten yet?" ”
"No, no! Zhen'er can eat everything! Zhen'er was afraid that his grandmother would not give him anything to eat, so he blinked his big eyes and said it very vividly, causing Chen Qiaoqiao to laugh. Zhen'er didn't wait for Chen Qiaoqiao to speak, so she took a piece and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, for fear that someone would rob him.
"Mother-in-law! A Master Ye came outside, saying that he wanted to see his mother-in-law! At this time, Ye Wanrong pushed open the kitchen door and walked in. But I was attracted by the fragrance of this room. Looking at Zhen'er, who was gobbling up, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and walked to Zhen'er's side, "Zhen'er! What are you doing with such a big mouth, you kid! Without a trace, he tore off a piece of the chicken in Zhen'er's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, causing Zhen'er to be dissatisfied.
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help frowning, her own dishes hadn't been cooked yet, this Lord Ye came so early? It seems to be very anxious! "Mother-in-law! This Lord Ye can bring a lot of good things......" Ye Wanrong's eyes lit up, and she looked very excited.
"Madame! Leave the rest of the vegetables to me, and don't neglect the guests! "I was hesitating, Wu Er's family automatically asked Ying, to be honest, she also wanted to show her hand, otherwise, she would have no status in this Chen family.
Chen Qiaoqiao was right to think about it, so she replied with a smile: "Okay! Let's go, let's take a look, what good things did this Lord Ye bring to make Wanrong so happy for you? Ye Wanrong was a little embarrassed, but still muttered; That's a lot of good stuff! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao walked into the front hall, although Ye Wanrong had already said it in advance, Chen Qiaoqiao was still stunned, this Lord Ye is really too exaggerated! A whole load of gifts was delivered! There is not only silk and satin, but also a white jade Guanyin that is definitely the best quality! The jade is crystal clear, snow-white like jade, exuding a faint gorgeous luster. It's no wonder that this Ye Wanrong can't hold it and is excited, even Chen Qiaoqiao is very happy in her heart, it can be seen that this thing must be worth a lot of money, this time Lord Ye really made a bloody investment in order to make friends with Lord Yin!
"Mrs. Chen! The first time I came to the door, it was a small meaning, it was really not a tribute, and I hope that Mrs. will accept it with a smile! "Lord Ye is extremely radiant, and he has also dressed up today, wearing a light blue robe, and he is also very energetic.
So many gifts, and it is said that it is a small meaning! Chen Qiaoqiao almost blossomed! As for the white jade Guanyin, Chen Qiaoqiao is sure that she will be able to eat for several months, and what clothes are there, she doesn't have to worry about her clothes in the past few years!
Chen Qiaoqiao finally knows why there are so many corrupt officials, the effectiveness of this power is really endless! She's just a matchmaker, and she has so many benefits!
"Lord Ye is so polite! How can I afford such a big gift, hurry, please sit down, and don't invite the young grandmother out to entertain guests! Chen Qiaoqiao said with a tiger face and shouted at the spring warbler.
Chunying couldn't help but be startled, it was Hu Feng who felt that she didn't have the face to come out, so she asked her to investigate. However, since Mrs. said so, it naturally means that the ugliness of the family is not publicized. So I hurriedly went to invite Hu Feng.
"Lord Ye, forgive me, our small family is all things that can't be put on the table, don't blame me!" It turned out that Ye Wanrong looked at the white jade Guanyin directly, and she didn't even blink her eyes. Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but hold her forehead, she thought that she had never seen the world, and she couldn't imagine that this Ye Wanrong was even more embarrassing, didn't this make people despise the Chen family? Chen Qiaoqiao could see that the surname Ye looked around at the Chen family, quite disdainful, which made Chen Qiaoqiao very disliked, although this Chen family is not very good, but after all, it is her home, why does this surnamed Ye have a disgusted expression?
