Chapter 12 Culinary Skills
"It's that the Cuihua girl just arrived in Ah Jin's room, and I heard Ah Jin's loud shouts, so I came to take a look."
Aunt Li nodded knowingly.
"Qiange, this Cuihua is well-known in the village for being pungent and uncourteous, and she doesn't take her reputation to heart."
"I remember that there was a scandal in the village before, Liu Cuihua fell in love with a man in the village, so she broke into the man's house at night, and after the accident, the village chief brought him back."
Speaking of these, Aunt Li doesn't have a good impression of Liu Cuihua. This will not be for fear that she will harm Ah Jin, and it is impossible for her to shake out her scandal.
"Is that really the case?" Mu Qiange's heart rose to her throat, and she looked in again.
"Yes! Everyone in the village knew about this, but no one dared to say it because of the village chief's face. ”
Aunt Li glanced worriedly at Ah Jin's room, "Qiange, go in and take a look, I'm going to lead the carriage." ”
Mu Qiange nodded, and was about to open the door when he heard Liu Cuihua's sweet voice coming into his ears.
"Brother Ajin, I'll wait for you to change your clothes."
When the words fell, he fell to Ah Jin's bed.
Ah Jin got up neatly, Liu Cuihua threw herself into the air, and she was unwilling, so she hugged Ah Jin.
"Cuihua, what are you doing here?"
Mu Qiange pushed the door in, seeing this, she was angry, it seems that Aunt Li is right, this Liu Cuihua is really a slut.
"I'm changing my brother's clothes! Sister Qiange, it's nothing to do with you, can you go out? ”
Liu Cuihua's anti-guest is the main thing, but it makes Mu Qiange know how shameless this woman is.
"Cuihua girl, cousin, you have also seen it. It's going to be a big deal, and if your parents can't find it, it's time to worry. ”
Mu Qiange wanted to take out the village chief to suppress her, but she underestimated Liu Cuihua's lust, and a pair of eyes were staring at Ah Jin naked.
"When I came out, I told the two old men, don't worry, they won't look for me."
Mu Qiange stood in front of Ah Jin, covering Liu Cuihua's eyes, "Even so, my cousin still has to teach the children to write big characters, you will affect them here, do you want to come back in two days." ”
"Sister Qiange, I won't bother, I'll just watch from the side."
I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness.
Mu Qiange wanted to blast people out directly, but she couldn't do so, otherwise within an hour, it would be rumored in the village that she was unreasonable and uneducated.
"Cousin, Sister Cuihua wants to stay, you decide!"
Mu Qiange threw this hot potato to Ah Jin, and Ah Jin's handsome face flashed coldly.
"Go back, don't set foot in my house in the future, you're not welcome here."
I didn't expect Ah Jin to be so ruthless in what he said, but it was just like this, it could completely make Liu Cuihua die.
"Brother Jin, how can you ......... me like this"
Liu Cuihua's voice was full of crying, as if she was about to cry. That expression seemed to have been wronged, if it was replaced by someone else, it would definitely be pitiful for me, but Liu Cuihua was not likable, and her appearance was average, so no one took her to heart.
The corners of Mu Qiange's mouth twitched, and his voice softened a little, "Cuihua girl, or you can come in two days!" ”
Liu Cuihua wiped the undripped tears from the corners of her eyes, and glanced at Ah Jin a few times, seeing that Ah Jin was still facing outward, and she didn't look at her.
"Alright! Brother Jin, I'll come to see you in two days. ”
Liu Cuihua didn't forget to look back and remind after taking two steps: "Brother Ajin, don't forget to drink soup, that's my heart." ”
Sending Liu Cuihua away, I saw that Ah Jin was still sitting on the banyan tree playing chess like a nobody, as if what happened in the morning had not happened.
"You're not going to drink the carp soup on this table."
Mu Qiange pointed to the untouched soup bowl on the table in his room, and a sly look flashed on his face.
Ah Jin dropped down and stood up. He lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear.
"What's the matter, seeing that Liu Cuihua is interested in me, you are jealous."
"Who is jealous, they just don't want to waste other people's hearts."
The warm breath swept across her face, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck, and the roots of her ears slowly turned red.
"Anyway, Liu Cuihua came with something, how can I turn her away."
Ah Jin didn't see what kind of soup she was giving, "If you like to take it, I'm not interested anyway." ”
Thinking of Liu Cuihua's appearance when she was eating, even if the carp soup was delicious, she had no appetite.
She turned around and went into the house, and took out the carp soup that had been placed in Ah Jin's room and poured it all into the chicken coo.
Looking at the hour, it was time to get off to the ground. Mu Qiange picked up the hoe under the eaves, turned around and explained to Ah Jin, "I'll put the food in the kitchen, if you're hungry, eat first and don't wait for me." ”
When she came to the field, she saw that the crops were growing well, so she turned over the ground with her hoe and pulled out some of the weeds in the field. Just as she was about to go home, the Uncle Zhang also came to the field.
Xu was because he cut his seedlings last time, and his attitude towards her was much colder, and he was a little hateful.
"It's really a narrow road, and you're the only one who weeds today?"
Mu Qiange glanced at him vigilantly, if the uncle made a move now, she was really not his opponent, not to mention anything else, just strength her obvious weakness.
"Yes, Uncle Zhang has something else to do?"
"Hmph, I remember you cutting my seedlings every day."
The uncle's cold voice sounded, and Mu Qiange smiled slightly.
"Yes, my cousin and I remember it every day, and I haven't forgotten."
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang was obviously stunned, he thought that Mu Qiange would be reasonable, but just a short sentence showed Mu Qiange's demeanor.
"If nothing else, I'm going back to cook for my cousin."
Mu Qiange picked up the hoe and walked down the mountain with his feet up.
"You're back."
Ah Jin still maintained a chess posture, dropped a sentence lightly, and stared at the chessboard again.
Mu Qiange added some food to the chickens and ducks in the yard, and then went to the kitchen to make a fire to cook.
Looking at the chickens and ducks bouncing back and forth in the courtyard, Ah Jin's brows furrowed, "Qiange, you are going to feed the chickens and ducks like this." ”
Mu Qiange, who was busy in the kitchen, nodded: "Yes!" In this way, free-range chickens and ducks will grow faster and lay eggs earlier. ”
"What a budget-conscious little money fan," Ah Jin couldn't help muttering.
"You still lock up these things that run around and raise them, if I am in a bad mood that day and step on a few to death, won't you feel distressed."
This naked threat, Mu Qiange pursed his mouth, "Cousin, you have to be careful when you walk." I'll find Aunt Li to come over and make a chicken coop for me later, don't worry, it will definitely not affect you in the future." ”
"Hmph, I'm giving you some time."
Ah Jin put away the chessboard and paced back to the room.
Mu Qiange quietly grimaced, and then stewed the white rice, thinking about what to cook, after all, she would have to trouble Aunt Li to help make a chicken nest later.
Yu Guang floated to see half a smoked pheasant hanging on the stove, and since it was almost lunch time, in order not to make Ah Jin complain, she only had half an hour to stew the chicken.
In addition, she also picked some fresh bamboo shoots from the field today, and paired them with the ham she brought back from the city last time, so that she could make steamed three shreds.
Stir-fried three shredsThis dish is made with fresh shredded bamboo shoots, shredded ham and shredded meat. It seems to be an extremely simple dish, but when you really cut it into shreds, it is the time to really test your knife skills.
She selected a few fresh bamboo shoots with white white bamboo shoots, which were thick and tender. The ham is selected from the upper part, and the upper ham is also the middle piece. Boneless and skinless, the muscle fibers are dense, and the meat quality is the best.
Mu Qiange cut these into evenly sized shreds, and went to the courtyard to pick some chives, garlic sprouts and some shiitake mushrooms.
The reels of the mali, brushing the pot, putting water, and lighting the fire, this series of actions are natural and smooth.
After the water boils, clean half of the smoked pheasant, then cut off the chicken breast and put it into a casserole with the remaining chicken pieces, re-add the cooking wine, ginger slices, and simmer on the stove.
Add a steamer to the top of the same washing with boiling water, put the fresh bamboo shoots on the top and boil it in water, after about a quarter of an hour, take out the chicken breast and tear it into thin strips, and cut it into thin slices after drying the fresh bamboo shoots on the top, and cut it into thin strips.
Mu Qiange had secretly cooked in the Xiangfu before, solving his own three meals a day, these skills were secretly learned from the chef in the house, but he didn't want to be gradually used by himself now.
When the shredded pork and shredded bamboo shoots are cut, the chicken broth in the casserole also emits a burst of fragrance.
Mu Qiange skimmed the oil slick in the chicken soup with a soup spoon, then took a bowl, cut off the roots of the soaked shiitake mushrooms, and put them face down and the roots face up at the bottom of the bowl.
Then the shredded ham, shredded chicken, and shredded bamboo shoots are evenly and neatly arranged on the shiitake mushrooms along the wall of the bowl, and the shredded bamboo shoots and shredded ham are mixed and compacted in the middle, and then a little chicken broth is poured and put into the steamer. After a cup of tea, remove the flip button and place it in a soup bowl. Finally, pour the seasoned chicken soup along the edge of the bowl, sprinkle two bean sprouts around it, and a plate of steamed three shreds with color and flavor is done.
The fragrance of Xu is chicken soup attracted Ah Jin over, and he stood quietly behind Mu Qiange, taking in her movements, and a glimmer of brightness flashed in his deep and dark eyes like ink jade.
Looking at the steamed three threads in front of him, Mu Qiange seemed to have returned to the days when he first learned to cook behind Xiangfu Ai Chef, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a drunken smile.
Just as she was immersed in the sense of accomplishment of cooking by herself, suddenly Ah Jin's voice came from next to her, "It's really good, you not only know how to farm, but also cook, what else is in you I can't find out." ”
Xu is Mu Qiange didn't know that Ah Jin was standing behind her, and as soon as she turned around, she entered Ah Jin's arms.
The faint scent of amber entered Mu Qiange's nose, and her face quickly turned completely red.
Ah Jin pretended not to see it, and sniffed at the fragrant dishes in the pot, "When it's done, bring it out!" ”
"Also...... It's not ...... yet, only the last hook work remains, and it's going to be good right away. ”
"Give," Ah Jin took a few steps forward, picked up the salt shaker on the counter and handed it to her.
And Mu Qiange obviously didn't expect that Ah Jin, who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers, would help her, looking at the salt shaker handed to her, her expression was stunned. Seeing this, the smile on Ah Jin's face became more and more obvious, and he urged in a good mood: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up, your soup will be boiled dry." ”
"Ahh The latter let out a low sigh, took the salt shaker from his hand, added a little salt to the soup, and then added some sugar, and waited until the soup became thicker, and then breathed a sigh of relief and extinguished the fire.
In the evening, when Aunt Liang came to return the carriage, Mu Qiange left Aunt Liang by the way.
When the meal was served, the expressions of several people were stunned, they had seen Mu Qiange's cooking skills, but they didn't expect that they were all the same ingredients, and they could make the same taste in Mu Qiange.
"Sister Qiange, what kind of dish are you cooking, it's so fragrant!" Zhuangzi swallowed his saliva without exaggeration.
"It's chicken soup, and it's steamed with three shreds. It's just that this time the chicken soup has some loving accessories added to it, and it should be even more delicious than last time. ”
Mu Qiange served a bowl of chicken soup to everyone, "Everyone, try it, this chicken soup is not delicious enough." ”
