Chapter 4: Wolf Meat Burned
Qiu Tian returned to the small kitchen of the meditation courtyard, saw Qiu Jibei with a black and gray face, and asked with a smile: "Starling!" What's wrong with you? ”
"Knowingly ask!"
Qiu Jibei glared at Qiu Tian, who was knowingly asking, but facing Qiu Tian's smiling and bright eyes, he lost his mind, "Xiao Jiu, if only you had been so well-behaved." ”
"Yes, yes......" Qiu Tian also lowered her posture to show her goodwill, after all, she asked a noble son to light a stove for herself to watch the fire, which was a bit excessive, "Brother Starling, you can eat dinner with me today." ”
"Just eat this?" Qiu Jibei pointed to the child's stewed wolf meat, although the stew is full of flavor now, it is not enough for him to miss tonight's dinner with his father.
"Dare to love this wolf meat and burn the face of the (eighth) son of the uncle's mansion?" Qiu Tian was very unhappy with Qiu Jibei's underestimation of his wolf meat burning, and rolled up his sleeves, "Today, I'm going to ask you to beg me to stay and eat this wolf meat burn." ”
For a while, Qiu Jibei felt that everything he said was wrong, so he could only silently watch Qiu Tian lift the lid of the pot, and a stream of water vapor suddenly rose, like the southern version of March The smoke and rain were hazy, but this time, the fragrance of the boiled was even stronger, like a peony that suddenly bloomed, affecting people's nerves.
The peony touched the fragrance of people, but this thick stew affected his appetite, he swallowed his saliva and looked at the very soft wolf meat boiled, "Xiao Jiu, I ......"
"Those who do not merit, do not leave food." Qiu Tian took the lead in interrupting Qiu Jibei's needs and motioned for him to continue to help her, while she quickly used her hook claws to scoop up the boiled soft wolf leg and put it in a wooden basin to cool.
At the same time, she took out the dough that had woken up before, kneaded it a few times, and found that the film could be pulled out, so she put the dough back into the basin for secondary fermentation, and then heated a small bowl of peanut oil and slowly poured it into the flour, the sizzling sound of the oil gradually merged with the white and soft flour, stirred evenly and then returned to the pot to heat and stir, and the unique aroma of flour and peanut oil mixed slowly rose.
"It smells so good!" Haruka sniffed greedily, "Miss, what is this?" ”
"Puff pastry." Qiu Tian spit out the word lightly, then kneaded the fermented dough into long strips, and divided it into several small balls, each small dough was rolled out with a rolling pin and stretched, and a spoon was missing a spoonful of puff pastry applied to the dough, and the dough was rolled up, chiseled into a fire agent, and then flattened, and took out a piece of finely chopped wolf meat and stuffed it in, and finally made the edge into a round plaque-shaped fire embryo.
In this way, the prototype of wolf meat fire has been formed, she took a breath, and sighed in her heart: This body can't withstand any bit of tossing.
"Chunxiang, chop the meat (meat) into pieces." She leaned back on the table and glanced at Qiu Jibei's love for boiled wolf meat, "Starling, you help me go to the cook and borrow a pancake pan for me." ”
"That ......" Qiu Jibei pointed to the boiled wolf meat in the basin, this expression was very different from the disgusted appearance at the beginning, Qiu Tian couldn't cry or laugh, "If the starling stays in my meditation courtyard for dinner, these will naturally have the starling's share." ”
"Okay, okay...... I'll go now. Qiu Jibei straightened his clothes and got up hurriedly, but still told Qiu Tian, "I'll eat with you for dinner tonight, and you remember to be my share." ”
Qiu Tian raised her eyebrows and nodded, and continued to make the prototype of the wolf meat fire, and when Qiu Jibei lent her the pancake pancake, it was already after a stick of incense, and the prototype of her wolf meat fire had also been done, and it was placed on the board in a neat and orderly manner.
Qiu Jibei looked at the wolf meat on the board like a bun, and suddenly lost his interest in boiling wolf meat at the beginning, but when he saw Qiu Tian wash the pancake pancake and put it on the stove, and brush it with the fat from the boiling, until the white smoke of the pan slowly rose, Qiu Tian put the wolf meat like a small bun on it.
The collision of the dough and the hot oil brings the crispy aroma of the dough to the surface, and Qiu Tian's eyes quickly reverse the dough, so that the dough is not only heated evenly, but also fixed the dough into shape, which is convenient for the next step.
In the blink of an eye, the dough was fried until both sides were golden brown, and the aroma was even more tangy, Qiu Jibei hurriedly got his hands on it, but he didn't want Qiu Tian to slap it away with one hand, he called out in pain, "Xiao Jiu!" What are you doing? ”
"There are five steps in the process of burning wolf meat: frying, branding, roasting, baking, and steaming.
"Aren't you ready to eat it now?" Qiu Jibei muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's delicious to eat now!" ”
Qiu Tian poked his temple unceremoniously, "Starling-the delicious food is worth looking forward to." ”
Then she roasted the wolf meat that had been fried until golden on both sides into the small oven she had found to barely replace the oven, "Starling, roasting and baking is to make the skin of the wolf meat more dry and crispy, and the appearance is more beautiful and attractive. ”
As for the steaming step, Qiu Tian chooses to steam the residual temperature of the oven at a low temperature after baking, which will not destroy the crispy taste, but also lock the juice of the dried wolf meat again, so that the excess meat juice can be soaked into the dough, forming a crispy outside and tender inside, soft and glutinous and fragrant, with first-class taste and rich flavor of wolf meat.
Suddenly, Qiu Jibei and Chunxiang in the small kitchen began to look forward to the burning of Lang's meat in the oven, while Qiu Tian was helping to hold his head and guard the incense used to calculate the time in front of him.
As the incense dissipated, and the aroma in the oven in the small kitchen became more and more attractive, and at the moment when the incense burned out, Qiu Jibei stood in front of the oven for the first time and was about to pull it away, Qiu Tianyan quickly knocked his hand off, "Starling!" I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We'll have to wait a little longer. ”
This method of returning to simmer is the so-called low-temperature baking of Western food, so Qiu Tian smiled at Qiu Jibei, "Starling!" It's time for you to go to dinner with Daddy. ”
"I'm not going!" Qiu Jibei was flustered by Qiu Tian's wolf meat, and he was no longer in the mood to have dinner with his father, "Instead of going to dinner, it's better to eat a hot meal at your place." ”
"Huh?" Qiu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Qiu Jibei with a nonchalant look, Qiu Jibei found that he had a gaffe and coughed dryly, "Okay?" ”
"I'll see!" Qiu Tian turned on the oven and looked at the slightly dim stove, the dextrin of the flour dough was translucent, and the white sugar hidden in the flour was even more roasted and carred, just like baked porcelain, with a layer of bright and transparent glaze as charming.
She clamped the baking iron plate with fire tongs, carefully dragged it out, and secretly held it to avoid the unstable center of gravity. The wolf meat that had just left the oven was slightly browned by the faint firelight, but with this eye-catching burnt yellow came a strong aroma.
Haruka smelled the aroma wafting in the air, "It's so fragrant!" Miss, why is this wolf meat so fragrant? Qiu Tian looked at the wolf meat that was still moist dough burned, because of the baking in the earthen oven, the original sugar was directly caramelized and attached to the dough, forming a beautiful sugar color, and at the same time she poured the ghee she found into it, which did not let the wolf meat overturn, but induced a new round of flavor, which made her a little surprised, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Qiu Jibei holding the hot wolf meat and burning it, pulling and tearing it open.
The crispy shell made Qiu Jibei's heart tremble, he never thought that the fire in his hand would be so crispy, and the fine dough fell to the ground from his fingers, and instantly shattered into a burst of powder, but what surprised him the most was not the shell, but the inside of the fire - tender (juicy) meat filling, at this moment a thin fragrance rose slowly, this aroma broke the shell The aroma was as wild as a wolf, straight to his nose, as if he seemed to feel that he was a wolf.
He swallowed his saliva, and took a bite of the wolf meat, the crispy shell, the tender (juicy) meat filling, the extremely crisp and the extremely soft taste, forming an obvious contrast, so that this Lang meat was rich in taste and very fine, there was no flour dough flour taste, and there was no firewood smell of wolf meat, but the more he ate, the more he felt a kind of dry heat from the inside like a warm current sweeping the whole body.
Unconsciously, he finished eating a whole wolf meat fire, and waited until he calmed down and looked at Qiu Tian, "Xiao Jiu, your wolf meat is so delicious." It's even more delicious than the fire made by the chef of Daoxianglou. ”
Qiu Tian ate the wolf meat that did not overturn, and had to sigh again in her heart, sure enough, the meat of this wolf king is the best ingredient, and now she has only taken back one leg, and the rest has been swallowed by Jiang Chaoye's goods, she really lost a lot.
One day, she must repay him for "the grace of one arrow" and this "meat of a wolf".
"Miss, can the slave ......" Chunxiang couldn't hold back anymore when she saw the wolf meat burning, and hurriedly asked Qiu Tian, and Qiu Tian directly gave a look Chunxiang, "Eat!" Things are made to be eaten, not to mention that this wolf meat is to be eaten while it is hot, and it will not taste good when it is cold. ”
"Xiao Jiu, why do you suddenly know how to cook?" Qiu Jibei asked Qiu Tian curiously while eating the second Lang Meat Flame, "How do I remember that you peeled a shrimp shell by yourself before, and you didn't want to." ”
"This ......" Qiu Tian was asked by Qiu Jibei, and she couldn't find a good reason to answer, but gnawed on the spring fragrance of wolf meat and said while eating: "Miss, this is inspired after life and death, after enlightenment." ”
"Haruka is right!" Qiu Jibei also agreed with Chunxiang's words, "No wonder the old people have said that life and death are tribulated, and everything is downplayed." Xiao Jiu, you must be like this, so you buried your head in the kitchen instead of the deceitful dinner table. ”
"Starling, are you talking about tonight's dinner?" Qiu Tian looked at Qiu Jibei, who was a pun, "Starling, I also swallowed in front of me, isn't it true that I am my own person?" ”
"Xiao Jiu, you think too much." Qiu Jibei changed his previous joking state, "In the half month since you disappeared, my father had no time to manage the backyard of the Uncle Mansion's Mansion in order to find you, and the group of aunts in the backyard began to behave as demons, fighting openly and secretly, in order to win the position of the hostess of the Uncle's Mansion." ”
"Whew! It turned out to be the right to be the head of the house. Qiu Tian knew through the memory of the original owner that there was no housewife in the Uncle Mansion, so the responsibility of the housewife was all handled by the father, and in the past, the affairs of the father's court and the backyard of the uncle's mansion were handled easily, but she disappeared, and those aunts had the opportunity to take advantage of the wind to blow the pillow.
"Then Daddy gave those women a break, didn't his ears be clean?" Her mouth slipped, but Qiu Jibei squirted out a mouthful of hot tea in shock, "Xiao Jiu, let those aunts hear what you said, don't you want to find a way to harm you." ”
"Brother Starling, aren't you curious, how could I suddenly disappear from the National Uncle's Mansion alone, and I can disappear for half a month before I was found by you?" Qiu Tian smiled warmly, looking at Qiu Jibei, who was obviously suppressed because of his words.
"Xiao Jiu, what do you mean by that?" Qiu Jibei didn't want to follow Qiu Tian's thoughts, otherwise Uncle Guo's Mansion would no longer be as simple as Uncle Guo's Mansion, but Qiu Tian said this but couldn't say who it was, which made him confused.
"It's nothing, I just can't remember clearly, what happened in the recent period, I want to ask the starling, do you know who helped me leave the uncle's mansion?" Qiu Tian changed the topic prominently, but it seemed to guide Qiu Jibei to the reason for her disappearance, the purpose was to ask Qiu Jibei to help her investigate, and she wanted to figure out how many enemies she had in her uncle's mansion and how many "allies" she had.
