Chapter Forty-Eight: The Breath of Home
Hearing Luo Yang's words, Xia Li suddenly became a little angry, and said a little unconvinced: "Who said that!" It can't eat the dead! ”
Luo Yang directly handed the plate of "squid" to Xia Li's mouth: "Warrior! Come! You try! ”
Xia Li's beautiful eyes rolled at Luo Yang, quickly twisted her head to the side, and stopped talking......
Xu Dong slapped his thigh, and his face suddenly showed a look of annoyance, and he hurriedly said, "Look! I'll just say it! We should pour half a barrel of oil before we can fry it! You have to keep a drop of oil! That's going to be mushy! ”
Luo Yang on the side was sweating profusely when he heard it, half a barrel of oil? Not a drop? Is this a unique way of cooking in this world?
Luo Yang looked at Xia Li with some confusion: "Why don't you fry the squid without oil?" ”
Xia Li looked at him expressionlessly: "If you eat too much oil, you will get fat!" ”
Luo Yang asked with a suspicious face: "Then you can't fry without oil!" Have you ever cooked? ”
Xia Li hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "It's the first time I've done ......."
After a slight pause, Xia Li hurriedly said urgently: "But I've watched a lot of cooking shows!" Except for the lack of oil, I followed the steps on the show! The same did not fall! ”
Luo Yang suddenly said in his heart, good guy! Feelings, this is still a master of theory?
Luo Yang looked at Xia Li and asked, "Have you run out of squid?" Is there any left? ”
Xia Li nodded lightly: "There is still half of it in the refrigerator, and I think it is too troublesome to clean up that thing, so I only make half of it." ”
Luo Yang nodded, and then looked at Xia Li with a slightly suspicious look: "Will the rice cooker be used?" ”
Xia Li felt that Luo Yang had underestimated her a little, and hurriedly said angrily: "Of course it will!" ”
Luo Yang nodded embarrassedly: "Yes!" Terrific! Then you can go get a pot of rice. ”
Then, Luo Yang looked at Xu Dong beside him again, and said, "The supermarket downstairs shouldn't be closed yet, you go buy two bottles of juice!" ”
Xu Dong nodded stunned, turned around and walked towards the gate......
However, as soon as he took two steps, Xu Dong turned his head with a puzzled face: "Wait! You've arranged it for both of us, so what are you doing? ”
"Smack!" Bang!
Luo Yang slammed an apron forward, and then slowly wrapped it around his body......
"Me...... It's time to cook, of course! ”
Seeing Luo Yang's somewhat unfathomable appearance, Xu Dong asked with some doubts: "But isn't the wok leaking?" ”
Luo Yang glanced at the two helplessly, and said a little angrily: "Fortunately, I still have a spare!" ”
After the division of labor was completed, everyone began to carry out their own work......
……
Luo Yang took out the remaining squid from the refrigerator, put it in a vegetable basin, and carried it to the sink.
Luo Yang began to wash the squid, took another pair of scissors, and slowly removed the teeth and some inedible parts of its body.
After washing the squid, Luo Yang began to peel it.
Suddenly, a small head came over from the side, it was Xia Li......
She asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What are you going to do?" ”
Luo Yang glanced at her and said casually: "High-end ingredients...... Often, only the simplest cooking method is required......"
Xia Li was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then slowly said, "Thank you for your hard work......
Luo Yang looked at her with a puzzled expression: "? ”
Xia Li looked at him with a little sympathy: "Even squid is a high-end ingredient, you must have had a hard time over the years......
Hearing this, the corners of Luo Yang's mouth twitched slightly and said, "I'm just making an analogy!" Do you understand the parable? ”
Xia Li looked at him stunned and nodded slightly.
Luo Yang asked again: "Is the rice boiled?" ”
Xia Li straightened her little head and tapped it.
Luo Yang glanced at her and asked casually, "You like to eat squid very much?" ”
Luo Yang's words made Xia Li stunned for a moment, as if she thought of some memories, and after a few breaths, she nodded her head and said, "Well, when I was a child, my grandmother always made it for me, and since she died, I haven't eaten it for a long time......"
Luo Yang looked at her quietly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "Do you want to learn?" I'll teach you! ”
Xia Li nodded happily, and then smiled happily......
"It's the first time I've seen her smile so natural." Luo Yang thought to himself.
……
After cleaning up the squid, Luo Yang cut some flower knives on the squid's body.
Then Luo Yang boiled some hot water in the wok and put the squid inside.
"After cleaning up the squid like I just did, the first step is to blanch, remember to blanch it with boiling water, and you can add some cooking wine to the pot to remove the fish."
Luo Yang opened his mouth to explain to Xia Li, and at the same time added some cooking wine to the pot.
"Hmmm! Well! Xia Li listened carefully and nodded.
……
"While blanching, we can choose to cut the side dishes at this time, the choice of side dishes is not fixed, I usually choose green and red peppers."
Luo Yang slices green peppers and chili peppers on the cutting board.
"At the same time, we're going to chop some minced garlic and ginger."
Luo Yang continued to cut......
……
"And then it's crucial! The next thing is to adjust the sauce of my secret spicy fried squid, you pay attention to it! ”
"Uh-huh!" Xia Li nodded repeatedly.
"Two spoons of sweet noodle sauce, two spoons of garlic chili sauce, two spoons of sugar, two spoons of white vinegar, add a teaspoon of chicken essence and stir well."
Xia Li also chattered slightly, carefully remembering the ratio of the sauce.
……
"After the squid is blanched, let's move on to the second step, which is to heat the oil!"
"Be careful, just put these in oil, no more and no less, this is the key to you! It's about whether you'll give the house next time! ”
Xia Li rolled her eyes at Luo Yang repeatedly......
……
"When the oil is hot, let's stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant!"
"Then add the squid and stir-fry the green and red peppers!"
Luo Yang turned his head to glance at Xia Li and found that she was a little eager to try......
"Or ...... Why don't you try it next? ”
Luo Yang asked with some hesitation and handed out the frying spoon in his hand.
Xia Li took it without hesitation, squeezed Luo Yang aside directly, and stir-fried it herself......
……
"Oops! What are you doing? If you pull it again, you will pull it out of the pot! ”
"Hey! You're flipping over! You can't favor one over the other! ”
"Dish! Cuisine! Cuisine! Chop la chop and pull vegetables! It's going to be mushy! ”
Listening to Luo Yang's constant chatter on the side, Xia Li turned her head and looked at Luo Yang, with a hint of grievance in her eyes, watery ......
Looking at Xia Li's aggrieved appearance, Luo Yang said helplessly: "Hey! Forget it, I'll take you to copy! ”
Immediately, Luo Yang stood directly behind Xia Li, reached out and held Xia Li's small hand holding the frying spoon from behind Xia Li, and slowly fried it in the pot......
"If you see it, I'll take you to fry it like this now, and next time you fry it like this!"
Luo Yang's voice sounded in Xia Li's ears......
The voice was very close, and the sound of the wind when he spoke made Xia Li's ears reddened a little......
"Next last step......"
"I'm back!"
Suddenly, Xu Dong's voice sounded behind the two, and Luo Yang and Xia Li looked back together......
Looking at the way Luo Yang was holding Xia Li and stir-frying together, Xu Dong, who was carrying two buckets of juice, was stunned for a while......
In the blink of an eye, Xu Dong reacted, and hurriedly said, "Wrong!" Excuse me! ”
After speaking, Xu Dong hurriedly turned around and left......
"That tease!" Luo Yang's mouth twitched slightly......
Xia Li hurriedly pulled out the hand held by Luo Yang a little nervously, and for a while, her little face was a little red......
"Okay, I'll do it myself, just pour the sauce inside, fry it for a while, and it's out of the pot!" Luo Yang said with a little embarrassment.
Xia Li blushed and nodded slightly......
