Chapter 1221 - Knife Craft

"Erniang, it's not right for you to say that, as soon as I heard the name of this dish, I knew that your niece was definitely a person who had seen the world." Sister Jiang said to Sun Erniang with a smile, then turned her head and said to Xia Ye: "Girl, you just say that you can do it, I can't see how your craftsmanship is, the most important thing in this cooking is the taste, I have a sea bass here today, why don't you make us a steamed sea bass to give us a taste, how about it?"

Xia Ye also vaguely guessed the meaning of this Sister Jiang in her heart, she was busy working alone in this huge kitchen, she must not be able to take care of it, if she can cook this dish well today, Sister Jiang will definitely leave herself in Gongzi's mansion, this is a big opportunity, as long as she stays, why worry about not seeing Gongzi Duge, why worry about not finding clues, Xia Ye secretly made up her mind, while rolling up her sleeves, she said to Sister Jiang with a smile: "I naturally listen to Sister Jiang's arrangement." ”

Xia Ye was full of confidence at this time, but Sun Erniang on the side was worried, she never expected that Sister Jiang would really let Xia Ye cook on the spot, this move was under Sister Jiang's nose, even if she wanted to help Xia Ye, it was not easy, and she herself had never eaten the three dishes Xia Ye said, and there was no way to help her, Sun Erniang turned her head and looked at Xia Ye with confidence, and her heart was a little more stable, and she turned her head to Sister Jiang and said: "My niece is still young, if you don't do well for a while." , I hope Sister Jiang can mention more and don't blame. ”

Sister Jiang naturally understood the meaning of Sun Erniang's words, she turned her eyes to look at Xia Ye, and said with a smile to Sun Erniang: "Erniang, don't worry, I see that your niece is a person who knows what to do, don't worry, I naturally won't blame her for no reason." Hearing Sister Jiang's words, Sun Erniang's heart finally let go a little, and Xia Ye over there also heard that Sun Erniang was worried about herself, afraid that she would be blamed by Sister Jiang if she messed up at that time, so she took advantage of Sister Jiang's inattention and quietly pressed Sun Erniang's hand, just like Erniang did to her when she was at the city gate today, so that Erniang was relieved.

Sun Erniang turned her head to look at Xia Ye, and immediately understood what she meant, so she stepped aside and watched quietly.

Sister Jiang led Xia Ye to the edge of the stove, briefly told Xia Ye the location of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and filled the stove with a handful of firewood, and then stepped aside to observe the Xia Ye carefully.

Xia Ye silently played back what Sister Jiang had just said in his heart, and then fished the perch out of the water with one hand, and began to disembowel it with a knife in his right hand.

Sister Jiang and Sun Erniang were driving next to them, all of them were dumbfounded, Xia Ye's posture was clearly like a cook who had been in charge for many years, both skilled and meticulous, and the knife work was good.

Sister Jiang slowly stepped forward, wanting to look more carefully, and as soon as she took a step forward, she saw Xia Ye make a few strokes on the fish, and the fish had been processed in such a short time. Sister Jiang has been a cook for 20 years, and she doesn't dare to say that she will handle it better or faster than Xia Ye, so she can't help but be amazed in her heart, and sincerely admire Xia Ye.

At this moment, Sun Erniang's heart was also completely let go, it turned out that this girl was not talking nonsense casually, this person was indeed a skilled person.

But at this moment, what Xia Ye thought in his heart was that he hadn't done it for a long time, and he was already unfamiliar with the craftsmanship. She took some green onions, ginger and garlic in her hand, quickly cut them into slices and then shredded them, and then Xia Ye stuffed them into the belly of the sea bass, and put the fish in the steaming drawer to steam, after finishing the work, Xia Ye couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and smiled slightly This first step is finally done.

Sister Jiang looked at Xia Ye's whole set of movements, smiled knowingly, and secretly thought in her heart, as long as the taste of this dish is similar after it comes out of the pot, she will keep this girl.

After steaming the fish, Xia Ye began to adjust the soup, she put the condiments in the pot and kept stir-frying, slowly stir-frying all the aroma in the soup, when boiling the soup, Xia Ye did not forget to pay attention to the fish in the steaming drawer, the fish meat will feel firewood if it is steamed for a little more, and it will feel fishy if it is steamed less, so the most difficult thing to grasp is the heat. Xia Ye stopped looking at the steaming drawer, silently calculating the time in his heart.

Sister Jiang naturally knew this truth, and silently observed Xia Ye to see when she would get out of the pot, although Sun Erniang had also cooked by herself for many years, but it was all coarse tea and light rice, and she didn't know what to pay attention to, so she approached Sister Jiang's side and asked in a low voice: "Sister Jiang, what are my nieces waiting for?" Sister Jiang also turned her head and replied in a low voice: "I'm waiting for the sea bass to be steamed." ”

When Sister Jiang turned around, Xia Ye had already taken the sea bass out of the steaming drawer, poured the soup, and sprinkled some chopped green onions, and this steamed sea bass with all the color and flavor was ready.

Xia Ye turned around and said to Sister Jiang and Sun Erniang with a smile: "The dish is ready, please also invite Sister Jiang and Erniang to taste it." ”

Sister Jiang and Sun Erniang nodded immediately, and one of them took a pair of chopsticks, but they couldn't bear to start when they just lifted the chopsticks. Sun Erniang looked at Sister Jiang and said with a smile: "Sister Jiang, you should put down the chopsticks first, what a vulgar person like us eats is fragrant, and he can't tell the difference between good and bad." ”

Sister Jiang also smiled at Sun Erniang and replied: "Erniang, what are you talking about, what I am doing is not just an errand to serve people, besides, this is done by your own niece, let's move chopsticks together." ”

When Sun Erniang heard Sister Jiang say this, she felt reasonable, so she moved the chopsticks together.

Childe was suspicious at first

Sister Jiang and Sun Erniang each chewed a piece of fish meat in their mouths, and they didn't say a word for a long time, this can make Xia Ye anxious, what's going on? Could it be that I haven't done it for a while, and the craftsmanship is rusty, but even if it is rusty, the taste should not be too bad.

Xia Ye beat a drum in her heart, and then saw that Sister Jiang had already put down her chopsticks, Xia Ye looked at her with the same complexion, but she didn't seem to be half happy, it couldn't be that she really messed up. Xia Ye looked at Erniang again, Erniang was still chewing in her mouth, and she was also expressionless, an ominous premonition shrouded Xia Ye's heart, she quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then took another pair of chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat into her mouth and chewed it carefully, the fish entrance was soft and elastic, and the taste not only retained the freshness of the fish itself but also added to the fusion of the soup, it was delicious!

"Oh, Erniang, your niece is really hidden, she still has such good cooking skills at such a young age, my cooking for more than 20 years is really in vain." Sister Jiang glanced at Xia Ye with a smile, then turned to Sun Erniang and said.
