Chapter 110: Mom, I Want to Eat Fish Soup
The dish of Song sister-in-law fish soup is said to have been made by a female chef in Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty.
This female chef became famous for her ability to make fish soup, and later married a gentleman who was the fifth oldest in the Song family, and was known as "Song Wu's sister-in-law".
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the family moved south to the West Lake, and in order to make a living, Song Wusao's family continued to sell fish soup by the Su Causeway.
One day, Song Gaozong took a boat trip to the West Lake, and met Song Wu's sister-in-law who was selling fish soup next to the Su Causeway, so he bought one to taste.
After tasting it, Song Gaozong praised this fish soup and rewarded Song Wu's sister-in-law with gold and silver silk.
After this incident was spread, Song Wu's sister-in-law suddenly became famous, and wealthy businessmen came to the door to buy food.
Since then, "Song Sister-in-law Fish Soup" has become a well-known delicacy in the city.
This dish has been inherited from the Southern Song Dynasty to the present, with a history of more than 800 years, and has been improved by countless famous chefs.
But it is undeniable that it is still a traditional dish full of history and culture.
……
After Jiang Yu processed all the ingredients of the pepper chicken in the side dish room, the time had already passed half past four.
There was only an hour left before the opening hours of the cafeteria dinner, and Jiang Yu, Lu Shuwu and Qian Liwei were ready to start stir-frying.
The three cooks stand in a row in front of the stove, each heat the oil, and then pour the dishes into the pot.
The moment the ingredients collide with the hot oil, the sound of frying, the sound of the stove, the clanging of spoons and iron pots, and the sound of the range hood overhead are all mixed together, forming a unique "symphony" in the kitchen.
The refreshing fragrance is also at this moment, rushing to the face and penetrating into the nose.
Jiang Yu was still thinking about Sister-in-law Song's fish soup in his heart, so the speed of stir-frying was slightly faster today, plus the three dishes he made were all fast dishes, and it only took more than half an hour to make them.
As for the remaining two steamed dishes, chopped pepper fish pieces and steamed pork ribs with taro and tempeh, they have also been processed before stir-frying and put them in the steamer to steam.
When he finished stir-frying the vegetables, Shen Deqingcai, who went to the vegetable market to buy sea bass, just came back.
"It's been a great job, it's been a great job!"
Jiang Yu smiled at him, reached out and took the bag to see that the perch was still alive, and it was constantly opening its mouth in the small amount of water in the plastic bag.
He turned his head and said to Shen Deqing again, "Xiao Shen, you go wash your hands, replace Yan Tongtong, and let her come over."
"Oh, okay."
Shen Deqing nodded, ran to the sink to wash his hands, and shook it twice hard, before running towards the sales room in front.
After a while, Yan Tongtong came over.
Before she could ask, Jiang Yu said:
"I'm going to start cooking now, you go and ask Aunt Liu to bring Lele over, this fish soup won't taste good if it's cold."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Yan Tongtong nodded excitedly, turned around and ran out.
After she left, Jiang Yu returned to the side dish room with the fish, ready to cook.
Probably because of the improvement of knife skills, Jiang Yu killed the fish very quickly, and slaughtered this perch in three and two clicks. ….
After removing the scales and gills, he sliced the meat on both sides of the fish's body, smeared it evenly with Shao wine and a little salt, put it on a plate, and then sprinkled it with ginger slices and green onion knots, and then took it outside and put it in the steamer to steam.
In the interval between steaming fish, Jiang Yu was not idle, and returned to the side dish room, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms and ham, and brought two eggs, poured the egg whites into a bowl and beat them.
The preparations are done, and the sea bass is almost steamed.
Jiang Yu waited for a while, then took out the steamed sea bass, poured the fish juice into a bowl, then removed the skin, peeled off the fish, and put it in the fish juice for later use.
At this point, the dish is actually only half done.
After transferring all the prepared ingredients to the operation room, Jiang Yu washed the small pot and went again
Remove from the pan and add the lard.
After the lard is heated, add shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded ham, shredded bamboo shoots, etc., and then pour the peeled fish and fish juice into the pot, add light soy sauce, Shao wine, salt and chicken broth.
After the soup in the pot boiled, Jiang Yu slowly poured the water starch along the edge of the pot, and gently stirred it with a spoon while pouring to prevent the starch from clumping.
After thickening, he poured the egg whites into the pot little by little, and finally added rice vinegar, white pepper and other seasonings, stirred again, Jiang Yu turned off the heat and put the fish soup into the soup bowl.
"This is Sister-in-law Song's fish soup?"
As soon as this dish was completed, Lu Shuwu came up and looked left and right.
Song sister-in-law's fish soup is also fragrant, but it is not like the dishes such as pepper chicken and roasted chicken feet with plum vegetables, and the aroma is so strong that it makes people swallow their saliva.
Its fragrance, like the color of its dish, is very light, and it can only be smelled when you are close.
After observing for a while, he couldn't see anything, so Lu Shuwu couldn't help but ask,
"Boss, when you made this dish, I didn't see you put sugar, but I saw you put vinegar, how could it be sweet and sour?"
"Why don't you taste it?"
Jiang Yu glanced at him, grabbed a few coriander leaves from the basket on one side and put them in the fish soup.
Lu Shuwu looked at the bowl of light soup in front of him again, shook his head after thinking about it, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Uh, forget it, forget it, I won't rob anyone else."
At this moment, Yan Tongtong ran in sweating profusely and said breathlessly:
"Senior brother, someone is here."
"Oh, that's good, it just so happens that Sister-in-law Song's fish soup is also ready, I'll bring it over."
Jiang Yu responded, put the big bowl of soup on the tray, and then picked up the tray and walked outside.
After taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and said to Yan Tongtong,
"Xiao Yan, you can bring two more clean small bowls, and two small spoons as well."
"Oh, okay."
Yan Tongtong nodded, ran over again to get the bowl and spoon, and went out behind Jiang Yu.
Lu Shuwu watched Jiang Yu disappear around the corner with the fish soup, couldn't help smacking his lips, and said loudly to Qian Liwei, who had just finished frying:
"Ah Wei, bring all the dishes out, and it will start business immediately!"
……
Seven in the hall of the cafeteria.
As soon as Liu Shurong and her son Wu Wenle came in, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. ….
Didn't you say that the cafeteria wouldn't open until half past five?
It's not even five o'clock, and there are so many people queuing up in the cafeteria!
Also, there seem to be a lot of people on the road outside.
It seems that the live Internet celebrity really didn't lie, the food in this cafeteria is really delicious, otherwise why would the students rush here?
Liu Shurong has a strong hope in her heart, I hope that the dishes made by Boss Jiang can really open her son's appetite, as long as her son is willing to eat, his anorexia may be cured!
With this expectation in their hearts, the mother and son came to the dining area and found a corner and sat down.
Not long after she sat down, Liu Shurong saw Jiang Yu holding a tray in her hand with a large soup bowl on it, and slowly walked over to this side.
Behind him, Yan Tongtong held a bowl and a small spoon and followed closely.
Liu Shurong felt excited in her heart and quickly stood up.
It didn't take long for Jiang Yu to put a big bowl of Sister-in-law Song's fish soup on the table in front of their mother and son, and said with a light smile:
"Sister-in-law Song's fish soup is ready, I don't know if Le Lexi likes it or not?"
As he spoke, he also turned his head to glance at Wu Wenle, who was sitting on the side.
Wu Wenle sat in his seat weakly, raised his eyelids and glanced at the bowl of fish soup with a faint fragrance, and looked away again.
Obviously, he did this to Jiang Yu
There is no interest in the dish.
The smile on Liu Shurong's face froze for a moment, and it took a long time to recover her strength, and she also turned her head to look at the bowl of fish soup that exuded heat.
The color of this fish soup is shiny, the gray and black shredded mushrooms, the pale white shredded bamboo shoots, and the red shredded ham are carried and floated in the thick soup, and then accompanied by the emerald green coriander leaves, the color is fresh and elegant, just like the Jiangnan in a painting, showing the delicate and graceful Qiantang cuisine to the fullest.
But this fish soup is beautiful, why is the fragrance so light?
As a native of Qiantang, she naturally eats this dish a lot, but every time she eats the fish soup, it is fragrant and can be smelled from afar.
"Maybe Boss Jiang is not from Qiantang, so he can't make authentic Song sister-in-law fish soup, right?"
Liu Shurong thought so in her heart, a thick sense of loss surged from the bottom of her heart, just now she saw it clearly, Lele only glanced at the fish soup and turned his eyes away, indicating that he didn't want to eat this dish.
Could it be that this time I really went to the doctor in a hurry and found the wrong person?
So what should Lele do?
For a moment, her heart was filled with despair.
"Aunt Liu, why don't you hurry up and give Lele food?"
Jiang Yu hadn't spoken yet, Yan Tongtong, who had been standing on the side watching all this, was anxious, she stepped forward, picked up a bowl, gently stirred the thick fish soup with a spoon, scooped it into the bowl spoon by spoon, and continued in her mouth,
"This fish soup has to be eaten hot to be delicious, but it won't taste good when it's cold."
This fish soup was originally just a faint fragrance, who would have thought that when Yan Tongtong stirred it so gently with a spoon, the heat instantly steamed up, and a thick and attractive aroma came to the face.
This aroma is not only the smell of fish, but also the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms, the meat of ham, and the fragrance of chicken soup.
"Yikes! This fish soup is so delicious!"
Yan Tongtong couldn't help but swallow her saliva, stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, and said with a grin, "I'm so hungry that I want to drink two sips!"
Liu Shurong, who was originally in a low mood, was also shocked at the moment, her eyes widened, and she couldn't figure it out when she broke her head:
Before, this fish soup could only smell a faint fragrance, why was it stirred up by Yan Tongtong for a while, and it suddenly became so fragrant? !
What's going on, what's going on?
"Mom, I want to eat this."
Before she could figure out why, Wu Wenle's familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Liu Shurong was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously asked:
"Lele, you, what did you just say?"
"I want to eat, I want to eat fish soup......
"Good! Mom will give you a sheng!"
Liu Shurong heard it clearly this time, but her tears fell straight down like pearls with broken threads.
These are not tears of sadness, these are tears of joy.
She waited too long for her son to say "I want to eat"!
