Chapter 25: Cooking
Li Shen wanted to turn around and leave, but Jiang Shan suddenly stopped him and asked him to see what she was doing.
She took out a cup with a small spout on the side, added a whole bowl of eggs, and poured it out, and the egg whites kept coming out of the small mouth.
After the egg whites and egg yolks were neatly placed in the two bowls, Jiang Shan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll go wash my face, you beat the eggs first, then cut the onions and carrots into cubes, and I'll do the rest when I'm done." ”
After speaking, she held up Li Shen's arm with one hand, and Li Shen didn't know why, so she could only put her elbow horizontally.
A pair of hands pressed lightly on their elbows, like a finch grasping a twig with their feet.
"Use some force."
Li Shen's muscles tensed suddenly, and he thought, "What is this going to do?" He's got to hold on. ”
Hiss......
The small hand on the elbow suddenly clenched, Jiang Shan's nails sank into the flesh bluntly, and a woman's weight was tightly clamped on it, and Li Shen's right shoulder couldn't help but sink.
At a glance, Jiang Shan's hair jumped up, revealing a face that was preoccupied and a little nervous. The trouser leg swelled, one foot hooked, the other foot straightened, and jumped slightly.
When Jiang Shan jumped on the right slipper with one foot, his eyes were full of smiles, and the palm that was originally grasping Li Shen's elbow opened, first making a "yes", and then immediately opening the other three fingers.
It's as childish and happy as holding his hand before, spreading his arms, staggering through the curb, and finally turning in circles.
Li Shen watched Jiang Shan's back bounce and disappear, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously hooked.
Take out the onion and slice the carrot with a clatter. The sound of running water in the bathroom sounded, and it didn't look like just washing your face.
He seemed to hear the classic "Husband, help me get a towel." ”
The kitchen knife in his hand was crooked and chopped indiscriminately, and the knife had to cut into his hand several times.
After cutting, the various dices are unevenly sized, and some can even be described as "chunks".
The sound of water in the bathroom was still ringing, and there was a smell of fragrance. When I looked back, water mist was pouring out of the crack in the door.
Li Shen hurriedly found something to do, took some milk, and poured it into the eggs, I heard that if milk is poured into the eggs, the scrambled egg flowers will be more tender.
The ratio of the solution is the romance engraved in every man's blood, and Li Shen keeps grasping the ratio of milk, egg yolk, and salt.
Just when he was working hard, there was a fragrance of shampoo behind him.
Turning around, Jiang Shan's hair was wet, and he was wiping it with a towel. The clothes around the neck are wet and stick to the skin, outlining the current situation of the collarbone.
This woman's head was finally washed, and he was always afraid that Jiang Shan would forget to wash his hair, and he couldn't control his hands to innovate milk and egg fried rice. He doesn't want to think about it.
Jiang Shan wiped his hair and walked to the kitchen, his face was a little stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Li Shen! What did you add to the egg yolk!? ”
Jiang Shan hurriedly kicked the slippers, ran to Li Shen's side, approached the milky bowl and sniffed, turned his head and stared at Li Shen viciously.
"What are you doing with milk in egg yolks?"
"Adding milk to it will make the egg drop creamy and smoother." Li Shen replied calmly, this is what he learned from taro.
Jiang Shan had no choice but to hold her forehead, she didn't know whether to criticize Li Shen or praise Li Shen for his diverse ideas.
In the past, when Li Shen cooked, he liked to add some strange condiments. What fried pho topped with lobster soup. There is even a black history of making braised rice with hairtail, and it is also famous, imitating eel stewed rice.
It's not that you can't eat it, but why mix two things that are obviously delicious separately and mix them up in a nondescript way? And some things aren't healthy either.
"Li Shen, you stand next to it."
"Teacher Jiang, don't be angry."
Li Shen hurriedly rolled to the side and begged for mercy, he had been trained by Jiang Shan several times before, but alas, innovation is the nature of scientists. It's like a chemical equation, eggs + milk = milky scrambled eggs.
Jiang Shan beat another egg to thicken the emulsion of the yolk and milk, calculated the amount, and poured half of it into the rice.
"Lao Li, do you know, what you said is right, but this time it's egg fried rice, the egg yolk is used to mix with rice, add milk, too much moisture, and the rice will stick to the pan."
Li Shen nodded hurriedly, but in fact, he didn't want to mix it with rice, so he couldn't just take it out and fry it alone.
Jiang Shan kneaded the rice and egg yolk together with his hands, and the rice balls were kneaded one by one, and the dry overnight rice absorbed the moisture of the milk and slid into Jiang Shan's palm.
The plain white palm lifted from time to time in the mixture, pulling out a long strand. The silk thread breaks, and from time to time the egg wash is splashed.
Seeing this, Li Shen said, "Shanshan, put on your apron." ”
"Oh, okay."
But Jiang Shanzheng took the apron, and found that her hands were full of slimy egg yolks, and she was going to wash her hands, but she felt a little wasteful, she stretched out her hands like a zombie, as if she wanted to pounce on Li Shen, and said, "You can help me put it on." ”
Li Shen was eager to try, but when he thought of the surveillance, he was in a dilemma.
"It's okay, this place in the kitchen is blocked by cabinets, and it's invisible."
Uncle Jiang, I want to hold it too, but she asked me to help her put on an apron, and this is not a hand or foot.
The shoulder straps of the apron went all the way up Jiang Shan's shoulders and finally fell gently at the collarbone. Li Shen's fingers felt the body temperature from his shoulders and neck, and Jiang Shan's slightly wet hair floated to his hands, cold and cold.
"Turn around."
Uncle Jiang turned around obediently, and Li Shen tied her belt. The belt and pajamas rubbed slowly, but it seemed that they couldn't reach the point of closing their waists, and Li Shen kept fastening them.
"You're going to strangle me to death."
Jiang Shan stopped Li Shen, Li Shen's knuckles kept rubbing her back, and an itch kept surging from her waist, she couldn't stand it a little.
Hearing Jiang Shan's words, Li Shen simply tied a bow.
Li Shen looked at Jiang Shan in front of him, the maid's apron was too large, and it was loosely put on her, but it suddenly shrank at the waist, and Ying Ying held it.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it, teach you how to cook."
Jiang Shan grabbed Li Shen's ears angrily and walked to the gas stove.
The flame "snorted" and burned, and the remaining water in the pot kept foaming at the white foam and steaming into steam.
"Be sure to boil the water in the pot before cooking."
Li Shen didn't have any life experience, but he kept nodding, he liked Jiang Shan's appearance as a good teacher, and there was a bit of compulsion in his gentle words.
After the water boils dry, the oil washes down from the edge of the pan, and the temperature of the kitchen rises little by little, and the smoke rises.
"Come on, Lao Li, pour all the cut ingredients."
Jiang Shan stuffed a whole plate of crumbled dices into Li Shen's hand, and timidly hid behind Li Shen.
She is most afraid of two things when cooking, one is that there is fire in the pot, and the other is to pour vegetables, especially crushed dices, into the oil pan.
The water in the vegetables collided with the oil pot, the oil churned and bubbled, making a snorting sound, and the oil splashed everywhere, and Li Shen felt that the hand behind him was grasping tighter again.
When the movement in the oil pot gradually subsided, Jiang Shan poked his head out and took the rice shovel.
She picked up the salt in one hand and drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the salt was sprinkled and scattered evenly.
Picking up the pot handle, the pot kept colliding with the bracket crisply, the hand flew like a white bird, and all kinds of broken celestial maidens flew like scattered flowers, and were pulled back into the pot by Qi Qi, without missing a trace. The salty fragrance immediately rippled.
Li Shen was still watching Jiang Shan's spoon and shake the pot at first, but when he looked at it, he was attracted by Jiang Shan.
The neck was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the light of the flame was reflected and flickered, I don't know if it was the light reflected by the skin or the crystal of sweat.
"You see, after the ingredients are fried, they have to be put on another plate first, and the oil in them will come back, otherwise it will be all oil in the end."
"When frying rice, you have to slide the pan first, and heat the pan to heat the oil, otherwise it will be easy to paste."
The words came in from the left ear and came out of the right ear, and countless mixed voices sounded in Li Shen's ears, counting him again and again, telling him what and what not to burn together, from the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to the chemical composition, constantly finding arguments.
But all the numbers are for the same purpose, to make him eat better and more normal.
"Lao Li, Li Shen, Li Shen!"
When he came back to his senses, Jiang Shan was staring at himself angrily with his hands on his hips, obviously very angry at his apprentice's distraction.
"Come, repeat what I just said."
"Hairtail fish can't be stewed, the fishy smell is too strong, the lobster soup has too many seasonings, you can't take it to bibimbap, don't make cold dishes and cold rice together, throw it away if you can't finish eating, don't eat too many pickles, the nitrite content is high......
Jiang Shan listened, his eyes softened, he just understood.
