Chapter 21: Immortals Want to Die
There was still some time until noon.
Lu Zhan washed the kimchi jar with hot water several times and put it in the sun to dry.
Then pour the mountain spring water into the pot and boil.
Bring to a boil and cool.
Finally, put the cooled mountain spring water into the kimchi jar, and then put in ginger, garlic, star anise, Sichuan pepper, rock sugar, salt, plus other spices, stir and stir, cover the lid, and mix a bowl of cooled mountain spring water on the edge of the altar to play the role of isolating the air.
After two days, after the kimchi water has tasted good, you can put in cowpeas, pickled peppers, Chaotian peppers, greens, radishes, etc., all the vegetables that can be used to soak and eat.
Lu Zhan thought about it, and when the kimchi was ready, he would make a sauerkraut fish to eat.
When it comes to eating fish, Lu Zhan himself is drooling.
By the way, he promised the hacker and the gourd baby to buy fish for them to eat.
Lu Zhan planned to go to the vegetable market in the afternoon when it was not so hot, and buy three small fish larvae to fry for them.
Next, Lu Zhan wants to make red oil chili peppers.
The original red oil chili pepper at home was mixed with chili powder bought directly from the vegetable market, and the taste was a little worse.
Lu Zhan bought two catties of sun-dried Chaotian peppers before, just planning to make red oil peppers by himself.
First, cut the Chaotian pepper into two sections and sieve it.
After that, I cut some long strips of home-dried red peppers.
To make red oil peppers, all the Chaotian peppers are not authentic, and you have to add some other varieties to make the kind of red oil peppers that smell fragrant and taste more fragrant. Such red oil chili peppers, a small plate, can eat a bowl of rice, delicious!
Cut the dried chilies, then heat the iron pot, add rapeseed oil, adjust the heat to the minimum, and put the cut dried chili peppers into the pot and fry.
In this stir-fry, the whole building is filled with the smell of choking chili peppers. While feeling choked, there is a fragrance of chili pepper that penetrates into the nasal cavity, making people want to die.
Lu Mingyu roared angrily, "Lu Zhan, close the door." Ahem......"
The hacker took the cotton and the gourd baby and ran away. It's so exciting to, I can't stand it!
Sister Dong from the shoe store next door ran to Lu's house, "Lu Zhan, oh my God, you really fried chili peppers." I choked people to death, and I couldn't stand it. ”
Sister Dong covered her nose, and when she was leaving, she shouted again: "Lu Zhan, after the red oil chili pepper is ready, remember to leave me a little." ”
"Good!"
Lu Zhan was also fully armed, wearing a mask and glasses, holding his breath, slowly stir-frying dried chili peppers.
When pedestrians pass by Lu's restaurant, they are stimulated by the smell of chili peppers.
It's spicy and fragrant, so I asked you if you can stand it?
The spicy smell is fragrant, and the street is full of the Lu family's chili pepper. This made many people have a little curiosity and good impression of Lujia Restaurant.
In recent years, no one has opened a restaurant to fry dried chili peppers by themselves. How convenient it is to go directly to the market to buy chili powder.
But the chili powder bought in the market, no matter how you do it, the taste is just a little worse, and you can't eat the taste I remember when I was a child.
The neighbors heard that Lu Zhan is now the chef, and he is very skilled. It seems that the Lu family is going to make a fortune.
Find an opportunity to go to Lu's house to eat and taste Lu Zhan's craftsmanship. As long as it is stronger than Lu Mingyu, there is hope for the Lu family's restaurant.
How bad Lu Mingyu's craftsmanship is!
was complained about by the neighbors like this, if Lu Mingyu knew, he would have to scold the street.
The dried chili peppers are finally fried, packed in a bamboo basket, and quickly poured into the hammer nest while they are hot.
The Lu family's hammer nest is made of stone, a large piece of stone, hollowed out in the middle, and it becomes a hammer nest.
This socket is still an old antique, older than Lu Mingyu.
It was always in the stairwell to eat ashes, but it wasn't until yesterday that Lu Zhan turned it out and was able to see the light of day again.
Put the fried dried chili peppers into the hammer nest, and then use a stone hammer to hammer slowly.
Lu Zhan squatted in the yard and pounded the dried chili peppers hard.
With each beating, the hot and spicy dried chili peppers will turn into minced peppers, which will become more and more finely crumbled.
In the end, it becomes paprika.
With paprika, the next step is to make red oil chili peppers.
Put the chili powder in a stainless steel basin, add salt, soy sauce, and mix the chili powder first.
Next, the most critical thing is to burn the oil!
Turn on the heat, wait for the iron pot to heat up, add the rapeseed oil, and slowly simmer over low heat.
When the oil is hot, turn off the heat. Wait for the oil temperature to cool down slowly.
This step is the last and most critical step. Whether the red oil chili pepper is good or not depends on whether you can accurately grasp the oil temperature.
The temperature of the oil is too high, and when it is poured on the paprika, it can burn the paprika in an instant. That's why, some red oil chili peppers taste mushy.
If the temperature of the oil is too low, it will not be able to absorb the flavor, and it tastes like rapeseed oil, and there is no aroma of red oil and chili pepper at all.
The temperature must be just right, not too hot, not too cold.
Lu Zhan pinched the time, and when the oil temperature dropped by more than forty percent, he decisively picked up the pot and poured the whole pot of oil into the chili powder.
The warm oil, as soon as it enters the paprika, undergoes a chemical reaction.
Lu Zhan hurriedly put down the pot and stirred the chili powder with chopsticks.
After thorough stirring, a large pot of red oil chili peppers is ready.
The pepper sinks, and the oil rises consciously. Such red oil chili peppers, whether used to mix vegetables or used as dipping water, are a delicacy.
There are a total of six tables in the Lu family restaurant, and each table has a cruet containing red oil chili peppers.
Lu Zhan put away the six cruet bottles, poured the red oil chili peppers inside, cleaned the cruet bottles, and put the red oil chili peppers he had just made into the cruet bottles.
When Lu Mingyu saw it, he said that Lu Zhan was a loser.
The red oil peppers in the ghetto can still be eaten, so why just throw them all out. Could it be that the red oil chili pepper she made is so unpalatable?
Lu Zhan smiled: "Mom, you can taste the red oil chili pepper I made." ”
Lu Mingyu dipped some chopsticks to eat, and had to admit that Lu Zhan was better than her. Compared with Lu Zhan's red oil chili, he is not qualified to take it out at all.
Lu Mingyu coughed lightly, she also wanted to save face, "Yes, do more in the future." ”
Lu Zhan said, "We dry the chili peppers ourselves, and the taste is definitely better." ”
Now is the season of chili peppers, and it is the right time to buy fresh chili peppers and come back to dry.
Lu Mingyu responded, "Okay, I'll go to the vegetable market early tomorrow morning to see how much I can buy." Buy a little every day, and by the time you wait until September, you should be able to dry a lot of dried chili peppers. ”
Lu Zhan said again: "Mom, it's time to prepare to make Douban." ”
Lu Mingyu waved his hand and said very simply: "I'll buy the chili pepper back, and you can make it yourself." ”
Lu Mingyu thought very clearly, Lu Zhan had talent in the kitchen, so she wouldn't rob Lu Zhan's job.
Before the guests came to the door, Lu Zhan fried another pot of noodles to make noodles.
Hackers, cotton, and gourd babies, the three of them smelled the scent of Zhenzi and ran in.
Lu Zhan scooped three spoonfuls of rice and served them with rice, which were placed in three rice bowls. In addition, he took a stainless steel soup basin and filled half a bowl of bone broth and placed it in front of the three.
This is the lunch of the three of them.
