Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cooking in a Restaurant
"Your eldest uncle's two sons, the eldest cousin is called Liu Changshun, and the second cousin, Liu Changchun. The second uncle's family has two sons and a daughter, the third cousin is Liu Changxi, the fourth cousin Liu Changdong, the eldest cousin is called Liu Changying in the same year as you, the daughter of the third uncle's family is Shuangquan, a fifth cousin Liu Changqing, and the third cousin Liu Changyue. The two daughters of the aunt's family, the sister-in-law's name is Liang Youcai, and the two cousins are one named Liang Qiu, and the other is called Liang Xia
Grandma, you are so amazing, you and your grandfather raised such a big family at the beginning, but now you are not separated, such a family lives together, will there be no disputes, can you live? Shan Xing asked
"How can you live, and then built five wings each, boys live in the winter wing, girls live in the house where your mother and aunt lived, the west wing is used as a grocery room and guest room, the yard is also wide, I also Zhang Luo divided, but your three uncles disagreed, saying that when we are old, then divide, there is no way, Zhang Luo has not divided several times, this group of children is very sensible, since childhood, do not fight, don't look at the boys, but they all know how to take care of the small,. Although we are not divided, the money from each house is in their own hands. Each of them gave me a tael of silver every month to subsidize the family. Your eldest uncle is a carpenter, although he is not rich, but he can get by, your second uncle manages the crops at home, and the output of the family belongs to him, and your third uncle is a little better than them, after all, he earns living money. Shan Xing quietly listened to her grandmother's account of the distribution of money in the family, which shows that grandma is a wise person, if Mrs. Li can be like grandma, a bowl of water is flat, and her father and mother may not leave them early. Thinking of this, Shan Xing couldn't help but hug her grandmother's arm tightly and whispered, "Grandma, you are so good." ”
The next day, when Shan Xing woke up, her grandmother had already cooked the meal, and Xiaoshan and Xiaojube had finished freshening up, just waiting for her to get up.
"Grandma, you are all up, why don't you call me, I overslept", Shan Xing said embarrassedly
"It's still early, grandma is old, she doesn't sleep so much, she's used to getting up early, it's time for you to grow your body, it's okay to sleep a little longer" Grandma said very kindly
After eating breakfast, Shan Xing set off with Xiao Shan, because Xiao Shan is a boy, Shan Xing wants him to experience more things, not only to know how to read, in addition, today I have to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Xiao Shan.
As soon as the two sisters and brothers reached the entrance of the village, they saw Nengyi standing by the carriage, leading the horse and waiting for them.
"Big brother Noh" Xiaoshan and Shan Xing both greeted him
"Miss Li, Master Li, the young master sent the little one to pick you up, the two of you get in the car, let's go"
"Don't be so troublesome, the road is not far, Xiaoshan and I will arrive in a quarter of an hour, and I have to work hard to make a big brother trip, I'm really embarrassed" Shan Xing said politely
"Don't bother, the two of you are done, let's go, we'll be there in a while" can set off with a dozen horses. What I didn't say was that the young master got up early today, cleaned up, and waited in the restaurant, although he didn't say it, but as long as he had long eyes in the restaurant, he knew that the young master was in a hurry, and his eyes kept looking at the direction where Miss Li came. In the end, I still couldn't bear it, so I called Noh Yi and asked him to catch the car to pick them up, which was much faster than walking.
About five minutes or so, I arrived at the restaurant, only to see Shan Xing and Xiaoshan get off the car, Xu shopkeeper and the little second brother were waiting at the door of the restaurant, looking at their next one, and hurriedly came over, "Eh, Miss Li, you are here, please come inside, Li Gongzi also please" Xu shopkeeper took care of him warmly
"Little Er, what's the daze, hurry up and serve tea to Miss Li and Gongzi Li" Shopkeeper Xu pushed the little second brother who was following him and said
As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I saw Xiao Yunqi sitting at the table, crossing Erlang's legs, drinking tea leisurely. "Xiao Gongzi" sister and brother greeted each other. "Sit down, I'm waiting here for a cup of tea, Miss Li didn't come early."
"Xiao Gongzi, we came here after breakfast, why are you picky, besides, I just need to finish what I said today, and I didn't say to come early in the morning" Shan Xing muttered
Xiaoyun looked at her pouting little girl, and suddenly thought she was cute. "Then Miss Li, don't let us down, it's up to you to perform today."
"It's not like you haven't eaten my cooking, if you disappoint you, I'm afraid I won't be able to support you," Shan Xing whispered
"What Miss Li said, I didn't hear it clearly" Xiaoyun's ear cutting power is very good, he can hear it clearly, but he just wants to tease her.
"I said, I'm confident in myself, I won't let you down"
"Shopkeeper Xu, take me to the kitchen to have a look, I'll go and prepare, Xiaoshan, you wait for my sister here"
Shopkeeper Xu led the way in front of him, only to see them passing through the hall of the restaurant, and directly behind them was the kitchen. I saw that there were seven or eight stoves in the kitchen, and several chefs were preparing the ingredients for noon. She looked at the ingredients and thought about what to do. Shopkeeper Xu came over and asked, "Miss Li, you can only know what you are missing, prepare the small ones for you, and you see that these cabinets need to be avoided when you are cooking." ”
Xu Xianghui thought that Shan Xing was standing there with concerns, so he spoke
"Oh, no, Shopkeeper Xu, I was going to hand it over to them, don't shy away from it, I'm thinking about what to do"
Seeing that there was a piece of tenderloin, Shan Xing decided to make a meat section, looked for it again, and found a few sweet potatoes, a fish, and a chicken.
Shan Xing decided not to do much today, so she made four dishes, just ready ingredients, a piece of meat, shredded sweet potato, boiled fish, and a large plate of chicken. Fortunately, she remembered the few chili peppers left at home when she left, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to cook the fish today.
Shan Xing said to do it, and asked the shopkeeper Xu to wait for him in the front lobby, so she started to prepare by herself, washing the chicken and fish to control the water, washing the sweet potatoes, changing the knife, and cutting it into hob pieces. Then cut the meat into long strips about the thickness of your thumb and put them on separate plates. Cut the chicken into chunks and serve on a plate, and slice the fish on a plate.
Everyone looked at this little girl who was talking big, working cleanly and orderly, and now they all had a glimmer of hope in their hearts that they didn't trust, after all, if the restaurant was closed, they would all have to go home, and the whole family was counting on them to earn money to support, and no one wanted to be unemployed.
Here, the apricot took two potatoes and washed them, cut them into hob pieces, put them on a plate, chopped the red peppers and put them on a plate, and set them aside.
Put water in the pot here, put the chicken in the pot under cool water, put a few slices of ginger, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam, take out the chicken, and wash it with cold water several times. Then put a little less oil in the pot, then put a little sugar, stir back and forth until the color appears, add the chicken and continue to stir-fry until the chicken is colored, the water is dry, then add green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, thirteen spices, a little soy sauce, add water to cover the chicken pieces, cover the pot and boil for about half an hour, then add the potatoes into the pot, add appropriate salt, cover the pot and continue to burn the fire until there is a little soup left in the pot, and it will be out of the pot for a while.
Shan Xing took out two bowls of chicken, one bowl called the little second brother, brought it to the front lobby for Xiaoyun to taste, and left one bowl in the kitchen for several chefs to taste, and then made the second meal by himself.
Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, put the sweet potato that hangs the pants into the hot pot, fry it until the surface is golden brown, and then put the meat section of the same pants into the pot until the meat section floats up, and the color is golden out of the pot to control the oil.
Leave a little base oil in the pot, then add an appropriate amount of sugar, stir continuously with a spoon until the sugar turns from white to reddish syrup, put the fried sweet potato into it, stir-fry until the sweet potato is evenly mixed with syrup, and get out of the pot. Two tastings are also served.
Put a little oil in the pot, stir-fry the green onions, ginger and garlic, and put the thirteen spices of soy sauce into it, and then put the meat segments that have been too oily into the stir-fry, and even get out of the pot. The same is a two-plate tasting.
The last dish is boiled fish, put heavy oil in the pot, put the chili, green onions, ginger and garlic into the stir-fry, fry until fragrant, put in the hot sauce made by yourself, add the fish head to the pot, fry for a few minutes, and then add water and boil until the color of the water is white and thick.
Then put the fish fillets into the pot one by one, spread green onions, cabbage and other vegetables on the fish, and pour oil on the hot pan to finish the work.
