Chapter 17: So Sour! It's spicy! It's so cool!
Cut fungus and shiitake mushrooms into shreds, peel and dice tomatoes, cut tofu into small pieces, tear enoki mushrooms, then beat the eggs, cut off the shallots, mince the ginger, and finally cut the lean meat into shreds, add green onion and ginger juice, cooking wine, sesame oil, etc., grasp and mix well, and set aside to marinate to taste......
Jiang Yu's knife work can only be regarded as average, at the beginning, the fungus shredded big big, small small, sometimes need to mend the knife, but as more and more vegetables are cut, his knife work has visibly improved.
Changing to other people, this feeling is not strong, but Jiang Yu can clearly feel that his knife skills have improved.
This also confirms his previous conjecture from another aspect: he is in charge of the food system, and he has indeed increased his culinary talent in disguise.
However, Jiang Yu didn't have time to feel it at this time, and there were already students lining up in advance outside the window, so he had to hurry up and make the soup.
"Are you making hot and sour soup?"
Watching Jiang Yu handle all kinds of ingredients properly, even if Hu Zhihai doesn't like vegetarian dishes, he can know what he is doing, after all, this soup is too common, and everyone in the south has eaten it.
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, drinking hot and sour soup in summer is much healthier than drinking drinks." ”
"That's true, the hot and sour soup, drink it in one gulp, it's sour and spicy, and with the soup dumplings, it's absolutely amazing!"
As soon as he said this, Hu Zhihai's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and even saliva was about to flow down, he urged,
"Hurry up, hurry up, leave me a big bowl in a moment!"
As for the fact that he said that he was a pure carnivore and didn't eat these dishes, he would have left it behind a long time ago.
Jiang Yu ignored him, put the processed ingredients aside, turned around and turned on the gas stove, lit the fire, and poured cooking oil into the pot.
After the oil in the pan is heated and smoking, pour in the diced tomatoes and stir-fry until the red oil is stir-fried, then add water to the pan and bring to a boil, then add the chopped shiitake mushrooms, fungus, enoki mushrooms, tofu and marinated shredded pork in turn.
After boiling all kinds of ingredients on high heat for a minute or two, Jiang Yu took out a metal seasoning jar from the side and put two large spoons of pre-prepared seasoning sauce into the pot.
This seasoning sauce is not a casual one, but a secret recipe that he spent 2180 wealth points to exchange from the system mall, it can be said that the recipe of this seasoning sauce is the key to whether you can make appetizing and refreshing hot and sour soup.
Two large spoonfuls of seasoning sauce have just melted in the pot, and a fresh and fragrant, sour and spicy aroma suddenly comes to the face, making people can't help but salivate.
"Hold the grass! It's sour and spicy, this smell is so special, I can't stand it! ”
Hu Zhihai, who had been standing on the side and staring, smelled the smell, and suddenly couldn't help it, and shouted loudly,
"Lao Jiang, please, move faster, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I'm even more hungry when I smell it!"
"Don't worry, it's almost hot!"
Jiang Yu himself couldn't hold back, quietly swallowed his saliva, and quickly poured the egg liquid that had already been beaten into the pot while stirring it into a flocculent shape, and then added water starch twice to thicken it, and then turned to low heat and boiled until it boiled slightly, and then sprinkled the chopped green onion into the pot.
A refreshing scent of green onions instantly penetrates the tip of the nose.
At this point, the hot and sour soup is finished.
"How about a taste first!"
Stretching out his hand to turn off the fire, Jiang Yu first filled a small bowl, handed it to Hu Zhihai, who was already waiting a little anxiously, and reminded with a smile,
"Take it easy, don't blister!"
"No, no!"
Hu Zhihai suddenly smiled, hurriedly reached out and took the bowl, lowered his head and looked at it carefully.
This hot and sour soup looks so good.
Tender white tofu, shiny black fungus, pink tomatoes, and golden flocculent eggs......
These brightly coloured and textured ingredients come from all over the world and are all gathered in one pot to carry the weight and float in this thick soup.
Adorned with green green onions, the whole bowl of soup seems to be given life, and the whole soup is alive.
The soup is thickened, and the heat and aroma seem to be locked in by a thin film, and only when you get close can you smell the sour and spicy taste.
It is precisely this gesture of refusing to change that is even more unstoppable, like a small hand scratching the tip of your heart again and again, making your heart itch unbearably.
Smelling this fragrance, Hu Zhihai couldn't hold back any longer, he didn't even use a spoon, pursed his mouth and blew a few times, and then picked up the bowl and took a big sip.
As soon as he drank this sip of hot and sour soup into his mouth, his face instantly turned red, and fine beads of sweat visibly appeared from his forehead, and then merged into a bean-sized one, sliding down from his sideburns.
After a long time, he swallowed the mouthful of soup, and then immediately opened his mouth, snorted twice, and said with a look of surprise:
"It's sour, it's spicy, it's so refreshing! It's so enjoyable! ”
At the end of August, Jiangzhou was still hot and dry, and as soon as the temperature rose, the whole person was groggy and couldn't lift up.
This mouthful of hot and sour soup forced out a sweat, and the whole person felt a lot more transparent, and even felt lighter.
Just when Hu Zhihai was pleasantly surprised by the taste of hot and sour soup, a person suddenly came to the window:
"Boss, I, I'm here, can I come in now?"
Hu Zhihai looked back, and it turned out to be the girl who came over last night and recommended herself to be a waiter.
"Oh, you're here, come in first."
He smiled and nodded at Yan Tongtong, then turned his head and shouted inside,
"Lao Jiang, the girl who came to work and study is here."
Jiang Yu was just about to continue making steamed buns, but after hearing this, he put down his work and walked out.
It was already a little late last night, and he didn't actually ask in detail, and he didn't even know the basic situation of this girl, so he still had to re-understand it at this time.
After coming out, Jiang Yu found that this girl was quite good-looking.
She is tall, well-proportioned, with neat short ear-length hair, wheat-colored skin that looks healthy and energetic, and a goose egg face, two big black eyes that seem to be able to speak, smart and energetic.
At this moment, this girl was standing generously on the side, talking to Hu Zhihai.
"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is the owner of our steamed bun shop, Jiang Yu, the soup dumplings are made by him."
Seeing Jiang Yu coming, Hu Zhihai first gave a brief introduction to the girl, then turned his head and said to Jiang Yu with a smile,
"This is Yan Tongtong, a junior in the Department of Literature, a native of Jiangzhou, and she came to apply for a waitress job to exercise her ability.
Of course, the most important thing is that she also likes to eat the soup dumplings in our store, and hopes to share it with more people who love food through herself. ”
