Chapter 122: Barbecue
Luo Yelin couldn't help but take a deep breath and sighed, "Wan'er, it's so fragrant." ”
"That's right," Hearing Luo Yelin admit that the skewers she made were fragrant, An Juan paused a little proudly, and said with a smile: "The taste of this skewer has always been like this, the fragrance is ten miles away, and it makes people have endless aftertastes." ”
Grilled skewers are no better than stir-frying, which can clearly see the degree of cooking and understand how much time there is left before it comes out of the pot.
But now the skewers were placed in front of their eyes, and this strong heat dominated their nerves, making everyone's taste buds end-of-the-line challenge, and for a while the sound of swallowing saliva was reflected in the hunger of the whole courtyard.
"Sister An, when will it be okay?" Song Qin squeezed to An Juan's side and asked in a low voice, her eyes full of expectation: "And also, is this little skewer too little...... Do you want to do more at once? ”
She lowered her head and looked at the few skewers in An Juan's hand that didn't have much meat, and she was a little regretful.
An Juan understands Song Qin's mood, and in modern times, when she sits next to her and waits for the skewers to be served, she is also in this mood.
However, no matter how she empathizes with Song Qin, she can't directly manipulate the time to make the skewers in her hands mature quickly.
She shook her head with some regret: "It's probably going to be half an hour younger...... Actually, I want to make more of them at once, but I can't manage it, and it may make the skewers taste worse...... In that case, I might as well make a little less skewer at a time and take my time so that you can all enjoy the delicious taste. ”
Regarding An Juan's explanation, Song Qin expressed her understanding: "...... That's okay, Sister An, come on, I'll wait for you. ”
When she heard this, An Juan turned her head to look at Song Qin and found that she was sitting next to her, looking at her expectantly, her eyes were shining, and she looked very well-behaved and cute.
So she didn't hold back her evil hand, wiped it on her apron, and then rubbed Song Qin's hair: "Don't worry, I'll try to make the skewers as fast as possible, you just wait obediently." ”
Hearing her words, Song Qin nodded hurriedly: "Okay!" ”
While Anjuan was grilling the skewers, Nie Ying continued to skewer the skewers on the side, while paying attention to her craftsmanship sideways.
Seeing that Nie Ying had been staring, An Juan stopped his hand and smiled at him: "Brother Nie, do you understand how I got it?" It's simple. ”
Regarding An Juan's inquiry, Nie Ying was a little hesitant.
He put down the skewer in his hand, grabbed the towel next to him and wiped the blood on his palm, and then stepped forward slowly: "I see it, but I'm not sure if I can learn ten out of ten......"
Seeing that Nie Ying was modest, but actually a little eager to step forward, An Juan's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled him to the front of the stove: "Brother Nie, you come and try, if there is anything wrong, I'll tell you." ”
"Okay." Nie Ying is also not a grinding temperament, so when he heard An Xuan's encouragement, he simply gritted his teeth and stepped forward, stood beside An Xuan, took a few skewers of barbecue from the side, and turned them on the charcoal fire in a decent manner.
He is a chef by himself, and what he learned the most is the control of the heat, so after getting used to the rough feel of the skewers, he can make it much faster than the others.
After An Juan selectively corrected a few movements, Nie Ying had already made a handful of skewers.
An Juan's skewers were naturally put on a plate first and given to Luo Yelin, Song Qin and Song Jian to eat, while Nie Ying's first test was given to the little guy waiting next to him.
Seeing that Nie Ying had already gotten started, An Juan breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily entrusted the stove to Nie Ying, and ran to the warehouse to get some vegetables.
After throwing these vegetables to the servants and letting them wear them on skewers, An Juan went into the kitchen and made some dipping sauces to prevent everyone from eating skewers dry and feeling tired.
For the ancient people who had never touched the skewers very much, the pure and additive-free skewers were so delicious that they wanted to bite off their tongues.
Now that the ingredients are available, this skewer has a unique character and is more in line with their tastes.
After Nie Ying grilled the skewers a few more times, the number of skewers gradually increased, and it could also supply the needs of the people present.
At this time, An Juan had already finished the other things at hand and came back to grill skewers with Nie Ying.
Halfway through, Luo Yelin bit a piece of cooked meat and looked up.
An Juan and Nie Ying were side by side, and it was rare to make the same action, which seemed to have a tacit understanding.
It's just that for this tacit understanding, Luo Yelin looked a little unhappy.
So after he ate all the skewers at hand, he put down the bamboo skewers and stood up: "Juan'er, I also want to try barbecue." ”
When she first heard his words, An Wan was stunned for a moment, and for a while she even thought that there was something wrong with her ears and she heard the wrong words.
Luo Yelin actually wants to cook?
She glanced back at Luo Yelin blankly, and found that the look in his eyes was very serious and sincere, and he really wanted to try the skewers himself.
"Okay," she moved to the side, deciding to fulfill Luo Yelin's wish: "Yelin, you come to me, and I will teach you how to grill skewers." ”
With An Juan's permission, Luo Yelin was satisfied, and directly took a few strings from the pile of strings next to him, and stood beside An Juan, waiting for her order.
An Juan first looked down at what kind of meat Luo Yelin had gotten, and after determining the meat, he quickly conceived an idea in his mind and told Luo Yelin the steps little by little.
The steps required for grilling are not complicated, and they can be summed up as non-stop flipping.
The most important thing is to master the time and heat.
And these things, An Juan understood that Luo Yelin could not understand, so she paid attention to him the whole time, always reminding him to flip the position of the skewers, or pour water into the stove to reduce the heat.
Under her step-by-step guidance, Luo Yelin also successfully made a skewer.
It is rare for Prince Ye, who does not touch the spring water with his ten fingers, to make something to eat with his own hands, even if he looks calm on the surface, there is still an irrepressible excitement spreading in his heart.
He leaned over and brought over an empty plate, and then carefully placed all the skewers he had made on the plate, not forgetting to make a beautiful and contrived presentation after placing the skewers.
After admiring his work, Luo Yelin breathed a sigh of satisfaction, took out a skewer from the plate, and handed it to An Juan first: "Juan'er, you taste it, this is my first skewer, how does it taste?" ”
Luo Yelin's tone and expression were full of expectation, and An Juan really couldn't bear to refuse.
She nodded, leaned her head forward, grabbed the edge of the meat, and pulled it off with a half-bite.
Luo Yelin obediently made the skewers step by step according to An Xuan's requirements, without any devil operation, and the final result was naturally not devilish.
After swallowing the barbecue, An Juan groaned for a moment and gave Luo Yelin a thumbs up: "It's delicious." ”
"Really?" Luo Yelin was a little unconvinced, so he tasted it himself.
"It tastes okay." He smacked his lips: "I really didn't expect that a person like me, who doesn't know anything, can actually bake a decent skewer." ”
"By the way," he thought to himself, "Juan'er, aren't you planning to put the dish of skewers at the banquet in two days?" You can find a few chefs to watch and let these officials grill their own meat and entertain themselves, and the mood is also very good. ”
He tilted his head and thought about it again, and made a reasonable prediction: "I guessed, I think that if this can be baked by himself, according to the character of the imperial brother, he will definitely try it himself." ”
An Juan hadn't thought of this before, but as soon as he heard Luo Yelin's words, he immediately thought of helping himself.
That's a good idea.
She nodded heavily: "Ye Lin, this suggestion of yours is very good, I will discuss it with Brother Nie and the others, and finally come up with a result." ”
After finishing all the skewers, Anwan can finally sit down and take a break, pick up a few skewers, and enjoy the familiar and delicious flavors.
The meat of the skewers is slightly oily, but not very greasy, and with various dipping sauces, it is easy to minimize the boredom of the oil, leaving only a mouthful of meaty aroma, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
For barbecue, everyone can accept it very happily, but looking at the roasted vegetables in the wilting bar, they really don't dare to swallow it, for fear that the taste will not be acceptable.
Seeing that the roasted vegetables had been put aside for a while, everyone was just peeking, and no one reached out to take them, An Juan smiled and looked around: "Why don't you eat roasted vegetables?" It's delicious. ”
With these words, An Juan reached out and picked up a string of roasted leeks, dragged the leeks to the plate with chopsticks, then threw away the bamboo sticks, used the plate as a container, and ate the roasted leeks.
With her at the beginning, everyone also extended their chopsticks to the roasted vegetables one after another.
The final result also surprised everyone.
The taste of the grilled vegetables is sweet and delicious, and it is completely different from the dark dishes they imagined, and it is much more comfortable to eat.
Nie Ying was the first to react: "Miss An, I think it is a good way to eat roasted vegetables and roasted meat together, which can complement each other and relieve greasyness." ”
"You're right." An Juan pinched a few roasted leeks with chopsticks: "And the roasted vegetables taste very good." ”
When eating barbecue, I don't know if it's too salty or too dry, everyone wants to drink something to neutralize the taste in their mouths.
And in this regard, the ideas of ancient and modern people are similar.
…… They all want to drink.
Song Jian contributed the good wine he bought in the room a few days ago, and everyone had a small glass for each person, and they could drink as much as they could.
In the breeze, eating barbecue, drinking wine, chatting and talking together, it is easy to make everyone forget the rapid passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, the moon was already in the middle of the day, and it was getting late, and someone yawned.
An Juan asked the time and made sure that it was indeed not early, so she asked everyone to go back to rest, don't stay up late anymore, and get up early to work tomorrow.
As for Luo Yelin......
