26 Turning the face is faster than turning the book
After the meal, the cold dishes on the table were eaten very cleanly, and only some chopped green onions and sesame seeds remained.
There were two plates of dumplings left, and the last two people to eat packed the dumplings and took them away.
Seeing that the remaining dumplings were packed and taken away, their eyes and expressions were unwilling, because they also wanted to pack and take away, such delicious dumplings, let them pack away, if they were the last to finish eating, they could also be packed and taken away, a little jealous.
Seeing that there was still a small bowl of dumpling filling left in the kitchen, another aunt who helped the cook packed the remaining dumpling filling and took it back to eat it herself.
After this meal, the old men who helped, touching their full stomachs and smoking cigarettes, gathered together to discuss Yunxi's meals.
An uncle said:
"Today's dumplings are so delicious, I estimated that there were more than 40 of them."
"It's really weird, I'm a person who doesn't eat celery, I know it's celery stuffed dumplings, I don't plan to eat them, and I've been complaining to the chef for a long time, thinking about what celery dumplings to eat."
Another uncle looked at the person who spoke, took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, couldn't help but want to demolish him, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said:
"Don't brag, I saw that you eat the most fragrant, two bowls of light and sour soup dumplings, and you still don't eat them? Do you still eat less? ”
The uncle who said that he didn't eat celery also hurriedly said:
"It's not that I haven't finished speaking, today's dumplings are delicious, I don't like celery and can eat so much."
After speaking, he looked at the old man who had scolded him just now, and also said:
"I saw that you didn't eat less, and counted a few bowls for me, you bad old man."
........
After a meal, they are all in Kuayunxi's cooking, and no one is doubting it.
An eldest lady, when she saw Qi Taobo, walked up to her with a smile and said:
"Taozi, such a good cook has let you find it, this dumpling is really delicious at noon today."
Qi Taobo looked at the eldest lady who asked, this eldest lady said that the cook was not good at the beginning of the morning, and now she immediately changed her face, sure enough, it was the same as his mother and his wife, and he changed his face at any time, Qi Taobo said with a smile:
"Auntie, you can eat well, this cook is from my aunt's village."
The kitchen is still busy, the people who help the kitchen have not left, and the mutton has not been finished, and the mutton must be stewed in advance, and the time to stew is longer, so that the mutton can be soft and deboned.
There are also dishes, so you have to wash all the dishes out, and you can take them out and cut them directly at the main table the next day.
This should be done in the afternoon, so as to shorten the time it takes to put the vegetables as short as possible.
The vegetables in the village are very convenient to pick, and they are washed out in advance to save time.
The pot of braised chicken feet has been cooked, put the chicken feet into the pot, and after frying, it is fluffy and soft tiger skin chicken feet, the color is like tiger skin, and the shape is also like fat chicken feet after frying, so it is called tiger skin chicken feet.
All the beef is cut into strips, marinated, and then stir-fried the next day.
Prepare all the ingredients for the soup, pork ribs and corn soup, and chop the corn into small pieces in advance, which is also convenient to eat.
The elbow and roast meat are already cooked, almost 7 ripe, take it out and let it cool, when the weather is not very hot, buckle the lid, and it will not be bad overnight, just wait for the next day to be processed.
The clear water chicken has also been cooked in advance, and the whole chicken that is 5 ripe will be directly put into the steamer the next day.
The sweet potatoes are peeled in advance, and the shredded sweet potatoes are waiting to be made the next day.
There are also some ingredients that have a limited time to keep fresh and cannot be processed in advance, so they can only be made the next morning.
The dishes that can be processed in advance, the ingredients have been processed one by one, and it is already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon after the busy, and the ladies who help the chef have also left one after another.
The day's work is over, and only his own family and relatives who have come from afar to eat in the evening are eaten.
Yunxi was still in the kitchen looking at the dishes on the menu, whether they were all prepared or omitted.
Qi Taobo's mother has already prepared a room for Yunxi to rest at night, because the main banquet will have to make a full 25 tables of dishes that day, so she has already agreed with Yunxi in advance in the evening that she needs to stay for one night, so that she will have to start work the next morning to ensure that the banquet will start at 12 noon.
Qi Taobo's mother went to the kitchen and saw the busy Yunxi, and said:
"Yunxi, I saw that you were busy just now, this meeting is also over, you go to the rest meeting first, you have been busy since you came in the morning, I will cook in the evening, let's have dinner at 7 o'clock, I will call you then."
After hearing what Qi Taobo's mother said, Yunxi didn't shirk it, he was busy all day, and he was indeed a little tired, even with the help of strength value, he was a little sleepy, he needed to rest well today, and he had to do a big job tomorrow.
This is the first time that we have made a 25-table banquet, which is indeed a bit much.
Yunxi Says:
"Well, that's okay, Auntie, I'll go wash my hands first, and I'll be over later."
After speaking, Qi Taobo's mother took Yunxi to the bedroom.
Yunxi entered the house and was still observing the decoration in the house.
The style of the 6 bedrooms is not uniform, some are made of tatami mats, and some are beds, but they feel very warm.
When I entered the house, I saw the water prepared by Qi Taobo's mother for Yunxi, some fruits, some small snacks, and a very attentive aunt, Yunxi seemed to know why she felt warm, because there was a careful hostess.
Yunxi lay down for a while, then fell asleep, felt like he slept for a while, and was called up by Qi Taobo's daughter-in-law to have dinner, made a few small stir-fried dishes in the evening, plus pumpkin porridge, and after dinner, Yunxi went into the house to play with his mobile phone for a while, and went to bed early.
At 5:40 the next day, the alarm clock rang on time, and Yunxi got up to wash up after pressing the alarm clock.
As soon as I finished washing, I heard the sound of the kitchen spatula stirring, it was Qi Taobo's mother, making breakfast.
Unexpectedly, he got up so early, Yunxi went out of the yard to say hello, and then began to go to the kitchen again.
Let's start with the cooking order of the elbow and roast pork first.
After Yunxi fried all the elbows, he ate breakfast and began to prepare for today's feast.
To make 25 tables of dishes, Yunxi had already started steaming the elbows before the assistant chef came.
As soon as the elbows were steamed, the aunts and aunts who helped the kitchen also came and began to chop vegetables, and the sound of 'kicking and staring' kitchen knives and chopping boards came from the kitchen early in the morning.
Yunxi is preparing pork chops and corn soup, and he needs to make pork chops in a pressure cooker first, and add water to make soup after the pork chops are cooked.
First from the meat processing, the kitchen busy kitchen aunts, some are frying cashew nuts, some are frying sweet potatoes, pulling shredded sweet potatoes to fry the sweet potatoes first, put aside for later use, and when the vegetables are gone, they will start to fry, and stir-fry while walking.
The kitchens are well divided.
The first dish to be served is the fruit bowl.
You need to shape the watermelon skin in advance, half a watermelon skin, cut off the red part of the melon sac, and draw the watermelon skin into strips, so as not to break the tail.
Simply fix the strips of watermelon skin with a toothpick, like the tail of a peacock, put it in the middle of the fruit bowl, and put a few pieces of watermelon below to fix the position of the melon peel to prevent the shape of the melon skin from pouring to both sides.
After fixing, the fruit is neatly placed on both sides, so that the color matching is also good-looking, and the vision is more delicious.
Watermelon, cantaloupe, oranges, and grapes are the first choice for fruit bowls, as these fruits do not oxidize and turn black.
To prepare the dishes, you should stack all the cold dishes in advance, put them on the big table on the side, and when the table opens, the dishes will be very square and served directly.
Cut the watermelon peel in advance, and the aunt who helped the cook assembled it according to the style of Yunxi's first fruit plate.
When the cold dishes are served, the chef begins to prepare the hot dishes, and the roast meat, elbows, and chickens that have been prepared in advance begin to be plated, and when these dishes are finished, the chef's hot dishes are fried.
Wait for the first stir-fry to come out, help the cook take the first stir-fry away, put it on a plate, put it on the big table, arrange it neatly, and when the people serving the dishes go back and forth, continue to walk the dishes in the order of the dishes.
While the first hot dish is served to the cook, the chef moves on to stir-fry the second course.
The people who serve the dishes go back and forth into the kitchen, and when there are many people, they will inevitably collide with each other, and the dishes will be deducted.
The kitchen was busy stir-frying, and the sound of music in the yard resounded throughout the alley.
More and more people came to participate in the banquet, and there were more and more cars at the door, and the host Qi Taobo wore a suit and greeted the guests at the door, and at the same time, the mobile phone was not disconnected, and there was no need to find the way.
Qi Taobo's daughter-in-law also wore a long cheongsam red dress, with light makeup, and the skirt outlined the figure perfectly, and she changed a person in an instant.
It's very different from the image of wearing pajamas in the morning and having messy hair, just like the Internet buzzword, which describes a person before and after makeup, it is called 'head changing', then Qi Taobo's daughter-in-law has completely changed her appearance today.
Qi Taobo, who was standing in the yard, seemed to have something on his mind, kept looking at his phone, and opened his phone every once in a while to take a look.
