Chapter 63: Eight dishes and one soup
Gonggong Bu hurriedly rushed into the small kitchen, and when he saw Le Xuan's figure, his frowning brows eased, "Ouch! I've finally found you. His Majesty had already arrived at the Xiuli Palace, and repeatedly asked the Sprinkle family why they hadn't had dinner yet. ”
Le Yuxuan looked at Gonggong Bu and smiled, pointing to the crystal pig's trotters, white meat for drying, chrysanthemum tofu soup, Bergamot Guanyin lotus and the soft-hearted abalone that Qingxiu had just moved over on the table, "Gonggong Bu, you have also seen two hours now, just help me alone, so far I have only made five dishes and one soup, and the remaining three dishes ......"
Father-in-law Bu looked at each dish although it was simple, but it was very exquisite knife work and heat, "Yu Yu, it's not the sprinkler family urging you." These dishes are the best to taste when you have just made them, and if you wait until all eight dishes are finished before serving, you will definitely miss the best time to use these five dishes. ”
Le Yuyu reluctantly loosened her shoulders, "Father-in-law, I don't want to, but the manpower is limited, and it is impossible to serve eight dishes and one soup at the same time!" ”
The most father-in-law looked at the dishes that were ingenious, thought about it for a long time, shook off the Buddha dust and said: "The old slave will help you serve these five dishes and one soup first, and then your three dishes, you can serve them yourself as soon as possible......"
Le Yuyu looked at Father-in-law's kindness and nodded silently, she watched Father-in-law Bu shout and the palace maid brought out the five dishes and one soup on the table, and before leaving, he told him: "Remember the time, you will only be an hour at most......"
"Good! Father-in-law walks slowly! After sending off Father-in-law, Le Yuxuan stretched her waist, and looked at her anxiously, "Nobleman, you haven't tried that soft-hearted abalone, so you will serve it rashly, will it delay your future?" ”
Le Yuyu waved his hand and scooped up the osmanthus fish from the large water tank. The osmanthus fish, which is out of the water, flicks the tail of the fish desperately, splashing countless splashes and falling on the ground, on the table, and on the people. But she didn't care about throwing the water directly on the cutting board, picked up the biggest kitchen knife, and slammed the fish with the back of the knife.
The osmanthus fish, which was originally fluttering on the cutting board, became lying quietly on the cutting board at the moment, and she took this opportunity to quickly scrape the scales of the osmanthus fish.
Qingxiu watched the fish scales float up and down like snow in winter, and at this moment she saw that the fishing line of the osmanthus fish was smoothly removed by her, and the whole fish was quickly processed and put on the plate for Le Xuan.
Qingxiu hurriedly took the green onion, ginger and garlic to Le Xuan, and the bloody Le Xuanxuan waved his hand, "Steaming fish with ginger will make the meat of the fish old and bring a ginger flavor."
Although it makes you fishy, it also destroys the umami taste of the fish. Ginger, use less! ”
Qingxiu looked at the ginger block in her hand and shook her head without moving, "Then what can I use not to destroy the umami of the fish, but also to get rid of the fishy?" ”
Le Yuyu washed his hands, turned around and smoked the tangerine peel that had already run the method, quickly waved the knife to cut the tangerine peel into a pen and stuffed it into the belly of the fish, and said simply: "The soaked tangerine peel can not only remove the fish, but also improve the freshness, and even when pouring the fish sauce, the astringency of the tangerine peel will be covered by soy sauce."
The combination of tangerine peel and soy sauce not only removes the fishy fish, but also improves the freshness of the tangerine peel soy sauce and the combination of the fish, which makes the taste better. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she sent the fish into the steamer, turned around and quickly cut the green onion into shreds, and poured peanut oil into the wok.
"Noble, the fish is going to be ready!" Qingxiu had just turned on the steam, Le Xuanyu looked up and glanced at the little incense that had just been burned, and it was not time to turn on the steamer at all, so she hurriedly shouted: "Qingxiu, turn it off!" ”
Le Xuanyu's face darkened, her figure walked in front of Qingxiu and snatched the steamed lid with one hand, frowned and looked at the fish that had just faded from the blood, and silently closed the lid.
Qingxiu looked at Le Youyou's expression and asked cautiously, "Nobleman, why can't you pay back the fish?" Le Yuyu raised her head and licked her tongue gently, and said stiffly: "No, this fish has gone through the first wave of steam and is going to be wasted." ”
"Huh?" Qingxiu was stunned for a moment, and when she wanted to open the lid of the steamer again, Le Xuanyu opened her hand with one hand and reprimanded her strictly: "Qingxiu, don't you know that you must grasp the first steam to steam delicious fish?" Fish can't be steamed, steamed fish meat is destined to be old, and the taste will naturally be worse. ”
As she spoke, she opened the lid and picked up the osmanthus fish, but Qingxiu looked at the osmanthus fish in front of her fragrantly out of the oven, "Nobleman, isn't this fish good?" ”
She poured out the excess fish juice from the plate, watched the back of the fish rot slightly, frowned and glanced at Qingxiu in disappointment, and was shocked that Qingxiu's cooking skills could only reach the current height.
She covered the fish with one hand, and poured hot oil with the other, "The hot oil fell on the onion shredded Yude fish, and the white smoke rose, Qingxiu sniffed her nose vigorously and exclaimed: "I miss this fish ......"
After Le Youyou silently poured the fish sauce on Yu, he put the fish on the table and shouted to the palace maid guarding outside the small kitchen: "Come in, bring this steamed osmanthus fish, and bring it out!" ”
A little palace maid cautiously walked up to Le Xuanyu, carefully put her hands into the tray, and walked out with small steps carefully.
Although she was disappointed in Qingxiu, her face was very stinky, she reviewed her emotions a little, sighed softly, and said softly, "Qingxiu! I'll teach you how to make fried river prawns! ”
Qingxiu was stunned for a moment, digging into whether she had done anything wrong, but at this moment, when she heard Le Xuan's words, the whole person couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Really? ”
"That's right! But let's make the three-color eggs first, and then we make the fried river prawns. Le Xuan pursed her lips and smiled slightly, a smile on her delicate little face. Le Yuyu quickly sent the three-color egg into the steamer, raised her head and looked at the second most incense that had been burned, "Qingxiu will light the last incense stick for me!" ”
Le Yujiang silently counted the time of this steamed egg in his heart, if the three-color egg is steamed smooth and tender, there must be no pimple at all to be considered a success.
Therefore, she counted and guarded the steamer while picking up the river shrimp, Qingxiu knew that she had opened the steamer indiscriminately before, which made Le Xuanxuan unhappy, so she silently retreated to a corner to watch Le Xuan's practice carefully.
Qingxiu looked intently at the fried river prawns made by Le Xuan, and the river prawns she picked were not large and very plump prawns, but they were medium-headed, full-fed prawns, and even some plump prawns she would throw aside.
After sorting the prawns in her hands, she silently washed her hands and baked the three-color eggs, which were smooth and translucent into the surface of the skin like a newborn baby.
Le Yuxuan squinted her eyes with satisfaction, "Qingxiu, you can only be considered successful when you see such a three-color egg!" ”
Le Yuyu put the three-color egg on the table, the light yellow three-color egg clearly reflected the delicate face, Qingxiu pointed to the three-color egg in surprise, "Noble - this three-color egg is not only smooth like a baby's skin, but even more like a mirror, it can reflect the delicate face!" ”
Le Xuanxuan looked at Qingxiu in amazement because of the mirror that appeared in the three-color egg, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "Qingxiu, we still have a long way to go on the road of learning cooking, don't be amazed by this little skill......"
Le Yuyu half-smiled and poured the raw meat into the wok, the golden and translucent oil slowly rolled over, Le Yuyu took the chopsticks and tested the oil temperature, and found that the oil temperature was just right and said: "Qingxiu, the trick of fried river shrimp is the oil temperature, not afraid in front of the hot oil, let alone the river shrimp at will, you must carefully slide the river shrimp into the oil pot, and listen to the river shrimp shell burst open, and the shell can be opened." You listen carefully......"
As soon as Le Xuanyu finished speaking, the small river shrimp in her hand was slid into the hot oil by her, "Chi-"
The plain oil surface suddenly became tumbling, and the river shrimp exploded into water vapor flowers in the oil.
"Bah---"
The shell of the shrimp burst open, and the transparent blue river shrimp turned red and golden under the action of the hot oil, she scooped up the river shrimp, set it aside and drained the oil, and then poured the large river shrimp into the hot oil.
Qingxiu, who couldn't hear her voice at all, watched in surprise as every river shrimp turned into shrimp flowers, "Noble, I can't hear anything...... How did you manage to hear the shrimp shell burst into life? ”
Le Yuxuan glared at Qingxiu seriously, and let out a heavy "shh
She walked to the side of the wok to prepare a bright and thick bright sauce, poured the fried river shrimp into the wok and stir-fried quickly, and poured a small amount of wine before the pot, using the strength of the wine to neutralize the cold in the shrimp, "Qingxiu, plating!" ”
Qingxiu, who covered her mouth, hurriedly put the sliced winter melon carved in front of Le Xuan on the stove, and Le Xuan put the fried river shrimp from the pot with one hand and buckled it on the sliced winter melon that she dug into the shape of a small well.
The winter melon is slightly ripe and bubbling with a tender green color, and the anti-red and golden braised river shrimp are bright in the winter melon cup, and the red and green collocation forms a visual conflict, and the shrimp fragrance lingers, filling the whole small kitchen with aroma.
Le Yuyu scooped up the remaining braised river prawns and poured them onto the plate on the side, "Qingxiu, you try this braised prawns, I'll deliver the dishes first!" ”
Qingxiu looked at the prawns that Le Yuyu brought to her and nodded silently. Le Yuyu took off her apron and sniffed the smell of her clothes vigorously, as she expected, she was contaminated with the smoke of the kitchen, but she was very concerned about carrying the three-color egg and the braised river shrimp and walked slowly and methodically to the main hall of the Xiuli Palace-Jinxiu Palace.
Le Yuxuan was unhurried, and followed the palace maid on the road not far away, but found a person stopped at the entrance of the courtyard of the Splendid Palace, "You! Bring this dish to me! ”
Le Xuan looked at the palace maid costume in front of her incomprehensibly, but the arrogance on her face stung Le Xuan's eyes, and she smiled and raised her eyebrows at the man, "I said no?" ”
