Chapter 167: Fish and Chicken
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gao Dian didn't stay at home for long, he packed his things and set off again.
Although the home is comfortable and comfortable, people always have to learn to forge ahead, and they must move forward, and people cannot always stay in the same place.
Regarding the future road, Gao Dian has some vague ideas, but he has not yet decided how to go, but the tone is set, that is, to learn and constantly improve his level.
It will definitely be too late to make money in this way, but Gao Dian believes that he has an external body and can shorten this time.
Gao Dian was carrying a large bag of things, and when he came back, he was obviously just carrying a backpack with empty hands. When I went back, I couldn't finish it with my hands.
If it weren't for Gao Dian to take the high-speed train, one person's ability was limited and he couldn't carry too many things, Gao Dian doubted that his parents could let him bring twice as many things.
When he left this time, Gao Dian brought home-grown dried chili peppers, native eggs, as well as a fish and a chicken, all of which were slaughtered and cleaned by his parents before dawn.
You can't take the high-speed rail with you, and it's also a very troublesome thing for Gao Dian to return to the city to deal with it.
In addition, there are some fruits to eat, which Gao Dian didn't want to bring, but he couldn't resist his parents, so he could only bring them.
After a bumpy ride, I returned to the familiar city, and the time was already approaching evening.
On the way, Gao Dian called Gao Ran and asked her if she wanted to come to eat fish and chicken, but Gao Ran refused, saying that the company was busy with work and had no time.
Gao Dian looked at the chicken and fish in his hand, which were still fresh. This kind of home-grown fish and chicken is best eaten when it is fresh, and if it is frozen in the refrigerator for a few days, the taste will deteriorate a lot.
Gao Dian naturally didn't want to put it in the refrigerator, which would be too wasteful of its taste.
The car stopped at Wei Qiaoyi's dessert shop, and Gao Dian walked straight in.
Although there was a sign on the door of the store that said "Today's desserts are sold out", Wei Qiaoyi did not close the door and left.
She was making dessert with her head down.
Some desserts are not made on the same day, some things have to be prepared a day in advance, and some are even complicated, and it may take several days just to prepare.
"The dessert is sold out, let's come back tomorrow."
Wei Qiaoyi heard someone come in and said subconsciously.
"I'm not here to buy desserts." Gao Dian said.
Hearing this, Wei Qiaoyi raised his head and asked, "Came back so early?" Didn't stay home for a few more days? ”
"No, I don't want to work hard if I stay any longer, so I'd better come out while I'm motivated." Gao Dian said with a smile.
Wei Qiaoyi smiled when she heard this.
"You sit down for a while, and then I'll talk about it when I'm done."
"Okay." Gao Dian answered and sat down.
Wei Qiaoyi's movements were very fast, and he was busy with the things in hand before long, and sent these prepared ones to the refrigerator, waiting for them to be used when making desserts tomorrow.
After a brief cleanup, Wei Qiaoyi sat down opposite Gao Dian and asked, "What are you bringing here?" Daan small packet. ”
"Good stuff to bring." Gao Dian said with a smile.
Then he opened the bag, revealing the contents and said, "This is the fish raised at home, and this is the chicken raised by the family." ”
Wei Qiaoyi glanced at it, nodded and said, "It is indeed a good thing." ”
Gao Dian smiled: "Let's go, let's find a restaurant and get these things to eat." ”
He didn't invite Wei Qiaoyi to his rented house, it was not suitable for a lonely man and a widow, so he proposed to find a restaurant outside to do it, and it would be good to pay a processing fee at that time.
"Whatever restaurant you go to, just get it in the store and eat it. I have pots and pans in my store, but there are some seasonings, let's buy a little and win. Wei Qiaoyi said.
When Gao Dian heard this, he felt that this proposal was good, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, then let's go shopping now." ”
"Wait, I'll get the key." Wei Qiaoyi said.
Soon, she grabbed her car keys, and the two were ready to go to a nearby supermarket to buy spices and side dishes.
At this point in time, only supermarkets can buy things, and in places like vegetable markets, people have closed their stalls early.
There is a large supermarket chain nearby, which has a fresh food section, where you can buy basically common vegetables and meats, and the seasonings are naturally quite complete.
Gao Dian pushed a shopping cart, Wei Qiaoyi walked next to him, and the two discussed how to get it.
Chicken and fish are good stuff and can't be wasted!
In the end, the two discussed that the fish would be boiled and the chicken would be stir-fried in the simplest way.
In fact, like black-bone chicken, it is used to stew soup, the soup is delicious and delicious, and it is a good ingredient. But Gao Dian's parents knew that he liked to eat meat and didn't like to drink soup very much, so the chicken he caught was less than a year old, and the meat was tender and suitable for stewing.
If you want to make the stew, it is best to use two or three years old hens to stew, and the more you stew, the more fragrant it is.
Passing by the wine area, Wei Qiaoyi proposed to drink some wine, Gao Dian shook his head and refused, he sat in the car for almost a day, and he didn't want to drink.
So the wine was changed to a drink.
If you don't drink anything when you eat, you always feel almost funny.
The two of them are not in a hurry, they walk around and stroll, the fun of visiting the supermarket is probably here, if they buy something in a hurry and leave, it will be no fun.
After a while, walking to the fruit area, Wei Qiaoyi went to pick it up with great interest.
It's a pity that Wei Qiaoyi didn't buy it in the end, in her words, the quality of the fruits here is too poor.
The two finally walked to the vegetable area, and after buying their things, they went to check out and left.
I bought a lot of things, and when I bought them, I felt that I didn't buy anything, but when I really paid for them, I realized that I had bought so many things.
Put the things in Wei Qiaoyi's car, and the two returned to the dessert shop.
"How about you cook this chicken and I cook this fish?" Wei Qiaoyi made a suggestion.
"Okay, I'm fine." Gao Dian said.
"Then we'll compete with each other to see whose craftsmanship is better." Wei Qiaoyi said with a wink.
"I can't compare to you." Gao Dian shook his head and said, he is self-aware, and he didn't know Wei Qiaoyi's skills on the first day.
"It's not about making desserts and pastries, and I'm not good at it anyway." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"Okay then." Gao Dian responded.
At the same time, a fighting spirit rose in his heart, everyone is not good at it, and it is not certain who will kill the deer.
This small competition between the two is not colorful, in fact, it is just to add a little fun to cooking, and it does not have to be a winner.
What happens if you win, and nothing you lose if you lose.
In the kitchen of Wei Qiaoyi's store, Gao Dian is not the first time to come in, every time he walks in, he will feel that the kitchen is very clean.
It can be seen that Wei Qiaoyi cherishes the environment of the kitchen very much.
If you don't clean it often, the kitchen won't be like this.
There are two stoves and pots, so you can choose what you want to use.
Gao Dian nodded, walked under the faucet, and began to wash his hands carefully.
In the past, when he was cooking, he didn't wash his hands much, and even if he washed, he simply washed it, and he didn't wash it like he does now.
This habit has been cultivated since Gao Dian studied with his teacher, and now, he washes his hands beforehand whether he is making pastry or cooking.
Wei Qiaoyi saw Gao Dian's habit and praised: "This habit is good, wash your hands before cooking." ”
Gao Dian smiled and said, "This is what my teacher taught me. ”
"By the way, do you have any aprons here, lend me one, I'm afraid I'll get my clothes dirty." Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi looked a little strange and said: "Yes, yes, I'm afraid you won't wear it." ”
"There's nothing you can't wear, just an apron." Gao Dian said unconcernedly.
"Okay, then you wait for me here, and I'll get it for you." Wei Qiaoyi said.
Gao Dian nodded and watched Wei Qiaoyi walk out of the kitchen, and after a while, she was holding an apron in her hand.
White & Black...... I don't know why, when Gao Dian saw this color, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
When Wei Qiaoyi unfolded it, Gao Dian found that this apron was very similar to the maid's outfit?
In essence, this is still an apron, not a maid outfit, but it is too similar, and the similarity is 99%.
"You don't have any other aprons?" Gao Dian asked with a strange face.
"No, do you want to wear it?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.
Gao Dian hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I think I may not be suitable." ”
Wei Qiaoyi held back a smile and said in Gao Dian's tone: "Didn't you just say that it's just an apron, what can't you wear." ”
Gao Dian fell into a deep silence, he admitted that his vision was too narrow before, and now he was slapped in the face.
But you can't blame yourself, who would be so bored to make an apron exactly like a maid's outfit?
"It's because I'm superficial, and I still don't think this apron suits me well." Gao Dian said.
"Then you're not afraid of getting your clothes dirty?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.
"Ahem...... If the clothes are dirty and washed, it's not a big problem, it's okay. Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi didn't continue to tease Gao Dian, and said, "Okay, if you don't wear it, you won't wear it." ”
She put the apron aside, Gao Dian was silent for a while, and asked, "Why haven't I seen you wearing this apron?" ”
Gao Dian has been here many times, but he has never seen Wei Qiaoyi wearing this apron.
"I haven't worn it." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"And what did you buy it for?"
"I thought it looked good, so I bought it and put it away." Wei Qiaoyi said.
Gao Dian: ......
Forget it, don't dwell on this issue.
The two of them started cooking separately.
Wei Qiaoyi is cooking fish, she picked up the cutting board and began to process.
This cutting board and knife were all bought by Wei Qiaoyi when she first went to the supermarket, although she has a lot of cooking tools here.
There are also cutting boards and knives, but they are not suitable for handling fish and chicken, so Wei Qiaoyi bought a set now.
The fish is cleaned of the scales and internal organs, and the surface is salted with some fine salt, which is not much, which is to prevent the fish from spoiling quickly.
Wei Qiaoyi cleaned the salt on the surface, and then began to slice the fish.
This is a grass carp, about three catties.
This size is just right for eating, the meat is fat and delicate, if it is larger, the meat will become old. More than ten catties of grass carp, the meat has completely become old, and it does not taste like fish at all, but like chicken.
The meat on both sides of the grass carp is very thick, and it is sometimes sliced into fillets.
Wei Qiaoyi's knife work is still very skilled, and a fish didn't take much effort to be dealt with by her.
Gao Dian was not in a hurry, he slowly dealt with the side dishes.
Stir-fried chicken is seasoned with green peppers, ginger and garlic, supplemented with salt and sugar, and no extra seasoning is needed.
In fact, if Gao Dian fries at home, he prefers to use pickled peppers to soak ginger.
However, stir-frying with green pepper and ginger also has a unique flavor.
When it was Takanori's turn to use the cutting board, he began to slaughter the chicken.
If the chicken is too large, it is not easy to fry and taste.
Gao Dian slaughtered the chicken here, and Wei Qiaoyi was over there preparing the ingredients.
The ingredients of boiled fish are complex, and Wei Qiaoyi has an exclusive recipe.
When cooking boiled fish, there is one essential seasoning, and that is dried chilies!
Gao Dian brought a lot this time.
The two have a clear division of labor, but they cooperate with each other, for example, when Gao Dian peels garlic, he will peel out Wei Qiaoyi's share together.
When Wei Qiaoyi cleans the ginger, he will also clean a portion of Gaodian.
Soon, the ingredients are ready and the cooking begins.
In fact, Wei Qiaoyi completed the preparation of the ingredients earlier, but she did not cook first, but waited for Gao Dian to come along.
Whether it's boiled fish or stir-fried chicken with green peppers, it needs to be tasted hot.
The small competition between the two is just to add fun, not to win or lose.
Wei Qiaoyi put the prepared exclusive secret recipe boiled fish base into the oil pan to fry the fragrance, then added water, waited for the water to boil, put in some bean sprouts with a base, and scooped up and put it in a pot after cooking.
After boiling the water, the fish is re-marinated, and after two minutes of boiling, it is scooped up and put in a basin.
The soup in the pot was poured into the basin, and the fish had just been submerged.
Next is the soul step.
Heat the hot oil in the pot, sprinkle the dried chili peppers, dried peppercorns, and minced garlic on top of the fish, and pour the hot oil on it, and a fragrance rushes out directly, accompanied by the sound of "times".
Finally, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions, and a portion of boiled fish is done.
Gaodian fried chicken is very simple, heat the pan with cold oil, wait for the oil temperature to rise, stir-fry the ginger and garlic, and add the chicken to stir-fry.
When the chicken is medium cooked, then go down to the green peppers, wait for the spiciness of the green peppers to be absorbed by the chicken, and the chicken is already cooked thoroughly, at this time put salt and sugar to taste, and finally add a little chopped green onion before the pot.
The fragrance suddenly came to my nose.
When the dish is ready, take it outside and eat it.
The two sat facing each other, and Gao Dian opened two bottles of drinks and placed them on the table.
"Here, let's have a drink first." Wei Qiaoyi raised his drink and said.
"Okay." Gao Dian responded.
The two of them touched their drink bottles, making a crisp sound of glass colliding.
The two took a sip, and then Wei Qiaoyi said, "Come and try it, which of us makes it delicious." ”
Gao Dian nodded, and his chopsticks pinched the boiled fish that Wei Qiaoyi had made.
This boiled fish is very restaurant-style, half water and half oil, but it is very fragrant.
Picking up a piece of fish, stained with chili pepper and oil, before he ate it, Gao Dian knew that it must taste good.
The fish is in the mouth, and Gao Dian savored it.
