Chapter 11 Egg Skin Fish Rolls
Washing and cutting fish is a piece of cake for gentleness, she scrapes off the scales neatly with her hands and feet, removes the gills and internal organs, picks out the sour tendons, and cleans the black clothes in the belly of the fish, but in five minutes, the two herring fish are cleaned up. When she carried the fish into the kitchen, she was caught by Sister-in-law Wang, thinking that she would not kill the fish and come in to ask someone for advice, just wanted to open her mouth to taunt her, and when she caught a glimpse of the fish in her hand, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, but was spicy by the onion juice on her hands, and tears flowed non-stop.
"Cleaned up?" Sister-in-law Liu turned around and was also greatly surprised, even if she came to kill these two fish by herself, it would take at least a quarter of an hour, but she didn't expect that this maid in the upper room who was stretched out in her eyes and opened her mouth for food could be completed in such a short time.
"Well, I don't know what to cook for these two fish, I didn't dare to process it further." With a gentle voice, he handed the fish over.
Sister-in-law Liu took the fish and carefully inspected it for a long time, not only could she not find fault with it, but she also had to admit that the fish that was gently killed was cleaner than the one she killed, and she couldn't help but be a little impressed by this girl, and her attitude immediately became gentler, and she hesitated: "These two fish were supposed to be bad herring, but today the mandarin fish named by the master to eat was not bought, so I had to make a fish to deal with it, and I didn't think of what to do for a while, you put it there first, wash other dishes." ”
Seeing that Sister-in-law Liu's attitude was still gentle, Wen Rou couldn't help but glance around the kitchen with her eyes and asked, "How do you usually make herring fish?" ”
"It's just steaming, braising it, bad oil, and stir-frying, what else can I do?" Sister-in-law Liu replied casually.
Wen Wen thought about it in her heart, and felt that if she wanted to survive in this Zhao Mansion, the first step was to have a good relationship with the people here, otherwise there would be people staring coldly at everything, it would be really difficult to move an inch, not to mention that the only thing she would know was cooking, just stay in the kitchen, if she didn't show it, would she really want to squat here to wash vegetables for a lifetime and fight chores for a lifetime? With this thought in mind, she smiled tentatively: "Why don't you take a fish and let me try to make it in a new way?" ”
When Sister-in-law Liu heard this, she turned her face and looked at her for a long time in surprise, and when she saw that her gentle gaze did not dodge, she just looked at her confidently, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart, could this girl really know how to cook? But she's quite clever at killing fish, so why don't you let her try?
If this matter is left in normal times, Sister-in-law Liu will never agree to let Wen Rou try to do it, but it just so happens that the steamed mandarin fish that the master wants to eat today is not bought, and she dares to change it to herring fish to make it for the sake of making a difference, and she is a little worried in case the old man eats it and wants to lose his temper.
"Sister-in-law Liu, since she dares to boast about making fish, why don't you let her try it? There's still one fish left, and if we don't do it well, we'll redo it. Sister-in-law Wang easily wiped away her tears, and came over to make an idea for Sister-in-law Liu, but she was by no means kind to speak for Gentleness, but wanted to see her make a fool of herself, as long as she made the fish unpalatable and annoyed Sister-in-law Liu, she didn't worry about not cleaning up her days! Hmph, a yellow-haired girl, can wash and cut two fish, is it a skill? You must know that up and down in this kitchen, they are all good at cooking, even if the gentle really makes the fish, the taste will definitely not be able to cover them!
Seeing that Sister-in-law Wang had a little funny smile on her face, she knew that she was not well-intentioned, but as long as it was about cooking, she was not afraid at all, so she pleaded with Sister-in-law Liu again: "Just let me give it a try!" ”
"Okay!" Sister-in-law Liu finally relented and handed her a herring in her hand.
"By the way, the old man's taste is heavy and light? Spicy or not? "It's hard to adjust, and if you want to make the food palatable, you have to ask about it first.
"Spicy?" Sister-in-law Liu was puzzled and didn't care, but replied: "The old man's taste is light, don't put too much salt." ”
Gently nodded, knowing that there were no chili peppers here, after thinking about it, I went to the case to get some fatty pork and a few eggs, and asked Sister-in-law Liu if there was any seaweed, this is seafood, I'm afraid it's not easy to have it here. Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Liu replied that there was, but this thing is precious, she hesitated for a long time before taking a piece for Gentleness, but the curiosity in her heart was even heavier, wanting to see what Gentleness could make, and she didn't do any more work, so she only stood on the side with her hands crossed to see how she did it, and even Sister-in-law Wang and a few other cooks secretly glanced at her from time to time.
Gentle nature is not afraid of them to see, she peeled the skin of the herring by herself, removed the net meat, chopped it into fish puree with the fat pork, and then added various seasonings to the basin, whipped it vigorously, and waited for the fish puree to become viscous, she put it down, and took a clean bowl to beat the eggs, add seasonings, and spread the egg skin.
When the egg skin came out, she smeared the fish puree on it, spread a layer of seaweed, and then a layer of fish puree, and finally rolled it into a cylinder, wrapped it in a clean cloth, neatly placed it in the steamer, and went to the drawer to steam.
At the same time of steaming fish and meat rolls, Wen Wen did not stand idle, very consciously ran outside the house to wash vegetables, sighed in his heart that life in ancient times is not easy, if it is left in modern times, she is a chef, there is naturally a small worker for her to wash vegetables, she only needs to be in charge of the spoon, but now everything has to be done by herself, fortunately, when she learned to cook, the basic skills were solid, otherwise she would not even have a companion skill, then it is really called every day, called the earth is not good.
Sister-in-law Liu looked at the gentle chopping fish stall egg skin before, everything was done lightly and quickly, methodically, and her curiosity about her couldn't help but be a little heavier, but at this moment she was looking forward to this herring egg roll coming out of the cage as soon as possible, and it was good to taste what it tasted like, so she had to ask if it was steamed once after a while, and asked her not to just wash the vegetables.
Gentle and secretly funny in her heart, I didn't expect Sister-in-law Liu's temper to be a little similar to Xiaohuan, they are all so anxious, it seems that Xiaohuan said that she had a bad temper yesterday, but she has no scheming, which can be regarded as a pertinent evaluation.
Estimating that the heat was almost over, he gently washed his hands and returned to the kitchen, removed the steamer from the fire, and then cut the steamed fish rolls into slices about two centimeters wide, and then neatly plated. After she did all this, Sister-in-law Liu was already itching to scratch it, and saw that the fish rolls on the plate were staggered with yellow, white and black, and she looked refreshing and delicious, and she couldn't wait to pick up a piece immediately to taste how it tasted.
Wen Rou saw her thoughts, took a few unplated fish rolls to her, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Liu, you taste it, I'm just messing around, and I don't know what it tastes like." ”
Although cooking in this world is also divided into frying, boiling, stewing, roasting and smoking, etc., but the processing of ingredients, the matching of tones, how can there be such a gentleness, often just cut and shredded at will, fry in the pot or steam on the basket, even if it is a restaurant and a rich family, do it carefully, and make a change, but also mix and match all kinds of dishes, as long as the taste is not mixed and matched. Therefore, Sister-in-law Liu was surprised by the gentle way of cooking, and when she picked up a piece of fish and meat roll and tasted it, she felt that it was full of fresh and fragrant, and the taste was light and refreshing, so she nodded unconsciously and praised it, "Not bad!" Then he asked Gentle what the name of this dish was.
"This dish is called egg skin fish roll." Gently smiled slightly, feeling that the color of the dish on the white porcelain plate was too plain, and picked up a radish and carved two peonies, one large and one small, put a few pieces of coriander, and placed them on the side of the plate for decoration.
