Chapter 54: Steamed Rhubarb Flower (Ask for Collection)
Lin Xuan wore beige pajamas, hummed Mao Buyi's song "Dispel Sorrow" into the kitchen, and casually tied the apron hanging at the door.
He raised an eyebrow and glanced at the bucket placed in the kitchen doorway, and it seemed that after he fell asleep, Rob had divided the dozen or so fish he had caught yesterday as he had ordered.
At this moment, there are only two sea fish left in the fishing bucket, a big yellow flower of two catties and eight taels, and a sea bass of three catties and six taels, although they are still alive, but they are not so energetic.
Lin Xuan scooped up the rhubarb flower with a fishing net, threw it into the vegetable washing pool, and after preparing to slaughter it, scraped the scales to remove the internal organs, and brought everyone a steamed rhubarb flower.
However, he walked around the kitchen three times, only to find that except for oil and salt and a small half bottle of chili powder that had passed its expiration date, there were no condiments in the kitchen, let alone green onions, ginger and garlic, and not even cooking wine to remove the smell.
It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
Lin Xuan sighed faintly, but it did not affect his cooking mood, he always felt that only by keeping his mood happy could he cook mouth-watering deliciousness.
After cleaning the processed rhubarb flowers, he made a few inclined cuts on both sides of the fish, and since there was no cooking wine, he could only smear a little salt and marinate the fish for ten minutes.
It stands to reason that in the process of pickling, the shreds of green onions, ginger and garlic should be sandwiched in the incisions on both sides of the fish body, and a small amount of star anise, garlic slices, shredded green onions, and shredded ginger should be put into the belly of the fish.
But......
Forget it, skip this step.
Lin Xuan secretly swore that if he didn't buy anything else when he went to sea this time, he would have to buy some condiments back, otherwise no matter how fresh the ingredients were, he wouldn't be able to cook an irresistible delicacy?
While marinating the rhubarb flowers, Lin Xuan added a small half pot of water to the steamer, opened the fire spirit stone stove and began to boil the water, and after about three minutes, the water was boiled.
Lin Xuan put the pickled rhubarb flowers into the steaming drawer together with the porcelain plate, steamed them for eight minutes, turned off the heat and simmered for another minute.
Seeing that the fish was almost stewed, Lin Xuan hurriedly opened the lid of the pot, put on heat-insulating gloves, filtered out the steamed water at the bottom of the plate, and then sprinkled a little shredded green onion on the surface of the fish.
This step is also omitted as there are no ingredients such as green onion and ginger in the kitchen.
Next, Lin Xuan used a wok to heat a small amount of peanut oil, and when the peanut oil was steaming, he turned off the heat and poured the hot peanut oil on the freshly steamed rhubarb flower.
The tender skin of the fish is drenched with hot oil, making a "zila" sound, slightly warped, and the fresh fragrance of the fish meat suddenly wafts out.
The last step is to mix the sauce, which is also the most crucial step, mix the flavor, sesame oil, soybean paste, sugar, and soy sauce together, stir well, and sprinkle on the freshly steamed rhubarb, and the steamed rhubarb is completed.
But there was nothing in the kitchen, so Lin Xuan had to omit this most critical step.
However, to his surprise, this steamed rhubarb flower without onions, ginger and garlic, and no fragrant sauce retained the most original fragrance, and the steaming mist filled the entire kitchen, and the wisps of fresh fragrance penetrated into the room of Rob and his face from the crack in the door, making Rob sniff and wake up from his sleep.
"What a fresh smell, face, do you smell it?" Rob pushed away the thigh that was on his body and patted the face of the face hard.
His face was pushed so hard by Rob, and he woke up in a daze, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and sniffed hard: "It seems to be the smell of steamed fish, it must be the boss who prepared a delicious breakfast for us again." ”
"Let's go out and have a look. Rob rolled over and got up from the bed, pushed the door in his briefs and walked out, but when he walked behind the boss, he was disappointed to find that there was no steamed fish in the porcelain plate in front of the boss, only a clean fish bone remained.
"Oh my God, boss, you're stealing food!" Rob covered his mouth in disbelief.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, I just wanted to taste the taste of this fish, but I accidentally ate a few more bites. Lin Xuan spit out the last fish bone, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and said embarrassedly.
"Where did you eat a few more bites, but you obviously didn't give us a mouthful left. Rob was about to cry when he was aggrieved.
At this time, the face also ran over when he heard the sound, and the two of them looked at me and said, and launched a profound moral condemnation of Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan had no choice but to admit defeat, and promised to give them the perch in the fishing bucket to be steamed immediately, and the two stopped shelling Lin Xuan.
Fifteen minutes later, a large plate of steamed sea bass was brought to the table, and the hungry two were swept away, and finally even the bottom of the plate was licked clean by Robb.
"What a bunch of foodies!" Lin Xuan's eyelids drooped, and he really couldn't stand it.
"Hehe, what kind of boss there is, what kind of employees there are. Rob smirked.
"Well, that's right!" Sucking on the remaining soup on his fingers, Face nodded repeatedly, and after a few days of sharing the same bed, he and Robert had united their front.
"Mind you, uncle, are you full? Lin Xuan said that there were no more than two of them, as long as one person kicked the two employees in the ass and drove them to the bar downstairs.
To the surprise of the three of them, before the door opened early in the morning, there were people waiting anxiously at the door of the bar.
What's the situation?
Is the bar already hot to this extent?
Lin Xuan opened the door, only to see a strange face waiting outside the door, the man was neatly dressed, short and fat, looking loyal and honest, after seeing Lin Xuan, he wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, looking a little nervous.
Seeing that the other party wanted to stop talking, Lin Xuan had no choice but to smile and ask, "Sir, is there anything wrong?"
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and then he had the courage to ask, "I heard that your bar sells alcohol?"
Lin Xuan looked at the other party with a confused expression, and suddenly had an urge to kick it over, isn't this nonsense, isn't it nonsense that the bar doesn't sell alcohol, isn't it still selling sanitary napkins?
"Sir, if you have anything to say, you might as well be straightforward. ”
"Oh, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask, does the wine we sell really have that kind of magical effect?" the man seemed a little embarrassed, and when he asked this, his round cheeks turned red.
"Miraculous effect, I don't know what kind of miraculous effect Mr. is talking about?" Although Lin Xuan was a little impatient, he still maintained a smile on his face.
"That's it...... Hey, it's the kind of ...... that makes you stiff and stiff," the man asked, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Damn, who is spreading rumors?
Listening to the man's inquiring tone, how did it feel a bit like seeing a small advertisement on a telephone pole on the street and coming to the door?
The corners of Lin Xuan's mouth twitched twice, still smiling: "I'm sorry sir, you must have heard it wrong, our wine here can only make men softer!"
"How is this possible...... They clearly told me...... "The man seemed to confess to his beloved girl, not only was he rejected, but he was also slapped heavily, and the grievances in his heart had nowhere to vent for a while, and his emotions became very excited, but he didn't dwell on the door of the bar for too long, so he stepped on the windmill parked at the door of the bar and left the town......
