Chapter 67: The Soy Sauce Turmoil
"Spicy pig's trotters, it's officially started!"
Yan Chen had a bright smile on his face, and in the expectant eyes of several people, he took out the blanched pig's trotters in the pot, put them in clean water to wash off the blood foam on them, and put them in a colander to control the water for later use.
The pot used for blanching was cleaned again, the empty pot was placed on the fire, and the steaming flame jumped more cheerfully, and even the shogunate cook who squatted in front of the bellows and pulled the bellows was useless, this step was for the cauldron.
It didn't take long, about a few breaths, Yan Chen stretched out his hand and felt it slightly in the sky above the pot, "The pot made of Xuantie is different, it can't be burned red at such a high temperature, I don't understand what your family thinks, what a waste." ”
Shook his head helplessly, Yan Chen's hands were not idle, the first step of the pot has been completed, if it is replaced by an ordinary pot, the bottom of the pot will be burned red. Yan Chen poured some oil into the pot, and the fire quickly became slightly smaller after the change of hands, and the oil temperature was just right at this time.
"This way of operation even the bellows have become an ornament. The shogunate cook smacked his lips, but Yanchen did not respond to him, and poured the dried red pepper, ginger slices, eight star fruit, bay leaf and other seasonings prepared in advance into the pot and stir-fried until fragrant.
With the stir-fry spoon constantly stirring in the pot, the fragrance of the spices is stimulated by the oil temperature, and the air has been filled with a rich aroma, and the taste of the spices has been released perfectly.
Then Yan Chen picked up the pig's trotters that had been controlled and put them in the pot and stir-fried them a few times, and the thick and fragrant liquid extracted from the jade bone muscle grass finally came in handy.
Not a drop of the liquid in the snow-white porcelain bowl is poured on the pig's trotters in the pot, wrapping each piece of pig's trotters tightly, and being absorbed and fused in the stir-frying.
When the liquid is completely absorbed, what appears to everyone is a crystal full flesh, and in the crystal it seems that you can see the snow-white hoof bones under the flesh.
"It's so beautiful, it's like a work of art. Mu Nianwei admired softly, she didn't expect someone to turn cooking into an art.
Yan Chen took out a delicate porcelain bottle from the storage ring, which looked like a vessel for wine, and the volume could not hold three taels of wine.
"Ouch, Brother Yan is addicted to alcohol, and he has to take two bites when he stir-fries. Mu Hai, who was hanging an arm, saw the porcelain bottle's first reaction was wine, and he teased it without thinking about it.
"Do you want to take two bites?" Yan Chen uncorked the bottle and gestured to Mu Hai, and he immediately ran over, "I'll taste what kind of good wine this is, such a delicate bottle, the wine must not be much worse." As soon as he said that, he took the porcelain vase and poured it into his mouth, Yan Chen just smiled and watched, but did not stop his behavior.
"Bah, salty, what is this?" As soon as the liquid in the porcelain bottle was in his mouth, Mu Hai immediately spit it out, and the imaginary wine fragrance was not there, but a special soy sauce smell was very strong.
"Here...... Is it soy sauce?" Mu Hai stared at the brown-red liquid he spit on the ground, and asked Yanchen with a face full of disbelief, "You use such a delicate bottle to serve soy sauce, you tell me what you think!"
Mu Hai smacked his lips, "Well, but the flavor of this soy sauce is quite unique, it's quite fragrant, I'll take another bite and taste it." As he spoke, he once again raised the porcelain vase to his mouth, but Yan Chen quickly stepped forward and snatched it down.
"Save it, you, this bottle is only three taels, but it took me a lot of effort to mix it, and it contains the essence of a variety of spirit grasses. Yan Chen glanced at the bottle distressedly, he didn't expect that Mu Hai, this kid, was such a tiger, and he would lose half of the bottle in one bite.
"Hey, Brother Yan, don't be so stingy, your soy sauce is really good, give me another taste." Mu Hai rubbed his hands and approached Yan Chen awkwardly.
"No!" Yan Chen refused very bluntly, which made Mu Hai very resentful.
"Eh, wait, Brother Yan, you just said that there are many kinds of spirit grass essence condensed here?" Mu Hai suddenly thought of something, and circled around Yan Chen with one arm, "Did you take away those spirit grasses that my family lost last night!"
Yan Chen was embarrassed for a rare time, and rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Mu Hai, everyone is a brother, don't care about these details." ”
"Then give me another bite of soy sauce. ”
"No way!"
"Then I'll tell the master of the house. ”
"The pig's trotters in the pot seem to be mushy. Yan Chen glanced at Mu Hai demonstratively, and he was really intimidated immediately, and Yan Chen walked back to the stove calmly and continued to be busy.
"Mu Hai, you are getting more and more out now, you even want to taste soy sauce. Mu Lan would not let go of any opportunity to hit Mu Hai, and decisively mocked.
Mu Hai glanced at her unhurriedly, "What do the little girl's family know, let me tell you, it's not an ordinary soy sauce, the entrance is extremely delicious, the sauce is full of flavor but not very salty, the entrance instantly seems to marinate my tongue, I can't wait to swallow it." ”
"Really?" Mu Lan saw that Mu Hai's performance didn't look like he was lying, and she couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "Then why did you vomit just now." ”
"I'm not mentally prepared. Mu Hai glanced at the brown-red liquid on the ground depressedly, "I thought it was wine, but I wasted so much delicious soy sauce in vain." ”
"The spicy pig's trotters will be even more delicious after a while. Yan Chen suddenly interjected next to him, and several people noticed that Yan Chen had already added the pig's trotters to soy sauce and stir-fried, and the pot had been filled with boiling water and ready to start stewing.
"Mu Hai, it's all your fault, I didn't see that step just now. Mu Lan glared at Mu Hai dissatisfied.
"Even if you see it, you can't steal Brother Yan's housekeeping skills. Mu Hai immediately pushed back.
"Mu Hai, you owe it again, don't you? ”
"Come on, who's afraid of whom. ”
The two of them glared at each other unconvinced, and they were about to fight without saying a word, and in the end, Mu Nianwei separated the two, "Okay, you both stop and see what Brother Yan is going to do." ”
Hearing this, the two gave up the dispute, but Mu Hai couldn't help shouting again, "I'm sipping, Brother Yan, what are you doing here, why do you want to make such a big battle?"
It turned out that when the two of them were arguing with each other, Yan Chen had already silently covered the lid of the pot, and the fire was blazing and jumped straight to the roof, shocking Mu Nianwei and the others.
However, the cook of Mufu muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you see that when he made cakes in the morning, he was even more sassy and came out with a whole red bird." ”
The shogunate cook muttered something, Mu Nianwei and the three of them naturally had no time to pay attention, the raging fire that rushed to the roof in front of them had begun to shrink under the control of Yan Chen's fire control, and the center point of the contraction was the pot that was containing pig's trotters.
The flame shrank to the end, and completely leaned on the surface of the pot, forming a fireball that wrapped the pot body, and the outside was still swimming like flowing water.
"Amazing, amazing, Brother Yan's realm of pretending to be forced is really high!" Mu Hai looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and after a long time, he couldn't think of anything else to say except sighing.
"Prepare your screams, the food is about to arrive. Looking at the stunned few people, Yanchen smiled confidently.
