Chapter 117: The Family Banquet
There is a Sichuan chef who shows off his skills, saying that a "hot kidney flower" only takes eight seconds from the pot to the finished dish.
That's in a regular kitchen, it's the result of the furious fire of a pressurized gas stove, and it can't have such an effect at home, at least you have to cook it.
This is not apocryphal, a highly respected master of Huaiyang cuisine once taught his disciples and grandchildren, and talked about the highest principle in the kitchen: "The chef cooks first of two requirements, the first is that you have to cook it, and the second is that the things you make must be delicious." ”
It's as plain as that!
In order to get a good effect of the finished dish, speed up the ripening of the dish, and at the same time, the finished dish can also have that subtle "pot gas", which is a higher requirement.
Yao Yuan could only try to increase the temperature of the pot, so that the temperature of the frying spoon had already exceeded the ignition point of the cooking oil, and the moment the ingredients entered the pot, the splashed oil and water vapor were mixed and ignited, and a fire instantly ignited in the pot.
And laymen like to watch Chinese chefs stir-fry dishes the most.
The orderly soldier Xiao Sun, Xiao Hua'er and his father and mother all crowded at the door of the kitchen to watch the excitement, saw Yao Yuan's pot on fire but did not hurry a few spoons, and then poured cooking wine into the pot in turn to cool down, then cooked soy sauce and vinegar, and after a few turns, salt, sugar, pepper seasoning, and finally poured in the secret pepper oil, turned around is a big spoon to show off his skills, and a plate of Lu cuisine is the most testing of fire work "fried shrimp waist" casual plate forming.
The celadon plate is inconspicuous, and Yao Yuan specially placed the carrot flowers soaked in clear water on the edge of the plate, and then decorated with a coriander leaf.
After some operation, the people around him were dumbfounded, and the orderly Xiao Sun couldn't help but start boasting first: "Oh, my good man, this cooking skill is amazing, hey, better than the big chefs in the canteen!" ”
Yao Yuan threw the towel in his hand on the stove: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and start eating!" This fried shrimp loin is not delicious when it is cold! ”
It is rare for the folding table at home to be opened, the square table becomes a round table, and the dishes on the table are dazzling: crab roe lion head, river crab fried rice cake, boiled dried shreds, jade white jade rolls, canned braised pork, silver tooth fried shredded pork, fried shrimp loin, plus a plate of beautiful Huadiao wine drunk crab, and with a few braised vegetables specially obtained from the braised meat shop, a family banquet is perfect.
Each dish is targeted, the taste takes care of the preferences of dad and mom, and the technique gathers the four major schools of Huaiyang, Lu cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Ji cuisine.
Who is a good person who cooks and serves radish flowers, and he can't eat it in the hard work.
But! Apparently! Yao Yuan's intentions were not in vain, the two old families understood, they didn't care about the taste, they just rushed to the appearance of this flower, and they knew that their son didn't bother much.
I didn't see my mother, Fang Nan stared at the crab roe lion's head, and his eyes began to fog again.
Dad was no longer disappointed, rubbing his hands: "Smash, go and open the box of porcelain bottles for Dad Moutai, you accompany your dad to take a sip today, you are all adults, you have a driver's license, you should be able to drink some wine." ”
This effect was achieved, Yao Yuan hurriedly went to get the wine, and he could accompany the old man to have another drink, and he didn't know how to cultivate the blessing!
However, I am still a little distressed when I open the box, the Moutai of the ceramic bottle, which is well preserved and well packaged, was produced in 70 years, and has been more than 20 years now, if it is stored for another 20 years, the market price of each bottle should properly exceed 100,000!
It's just that the family has a meal, do you want to drink 100,000 bottles of wine?
I smiled when I thought about it again, happiness is the most important thing, I made the old man happy today, and everything will be easy to do in the future.
Besides, the things of this era will be worth a lot of money in the future, and an old wall calendar paper in twenty or thirty years can be sold for dozens of dollars.
The crab roe lion's head used four hairy crabs and a pound of meat filling, only four were stewed, Yao Yuan wanted to give his own to Xiao Sun, but Xiao Sun refused to accept it, and pushed it around, so he had to taste it all by himself.
Mom knows how to eat, use a spoon? A spoonful of lion's head was even put into his mouth, and after taking a sip, his eyes narrowed into a slit: "I haven't eaten this kind of lion's head for a long time, this is like the taste of Cuilou in my hometown, I haven't eaten it since I married your father, northerners don't know how to do it, they are braised every time in the base, and there is no such feeling of fresh eyebrows." ”
Dad is concentrating on dealing with the jar of braised pork, red and bright sauce purple, five-flowered and three-layered, the braised pork is trembling, making people involuntarily open their mouths, ah woo one bite to send in, one eat one without speaking.
After a few bites of braised pork, finally the plate of jade white jade rolls attracted the attention of my father, and the cabbage rolls drizzled with glazed potatoes were crystal green and beautiful.
The well-informed father looked at it for a long time before he recognized what it was: "Huh? How can you still make this cabbage roll? ”
Without waiting for an answer, he picked up a roll and sent it to his mouth, and after eating two bites, he began to talk more: "Son, when did you learn to make this dish, when you were a child, your grandmother also made this dish every New Year, at that time, tsk, but the stuffing you use seems to be different, you have shrimp in this stuffing?" ”
Yao Yuan subconsciously rubbed his hands that had been pricked by the shrimp: "Hehe, Dad, I just watched my grandmother make this dish, thinking that you might like to eat it, so I figured it out myself, and I also peeled a few shrimp and put it in to make it fresh." ”
Lao Yao finally had some doubts: "No, how old are you, how did you learn to cook?" ”
The little sister interjected obediently at this time: "Dad, don't you look at the books in your son's room, they are all recipes, he is fascinated by learning to cook now, but I am also happy." ”
Yao Yuan also added: "Yes, when I was a child, I lived in the compound, didn't I learn a little from my neighbor Master Pan, but now I think cooking is very interesting, and I just think about it if I have nothing to do, isn't it also to welcome you home to read the recipes and learn a few dishes." ”
Lao Yao nodded: "I am afraid of the things in the world, as long as I think about it carefully, there is nothing that I can't learn, I am very satisfied with the table you prepared today!" But then again, I have been busy with your mother and I have been busy with work over the years, so I left you two brothers and sisters at home, in general, as parents, we owe you something, come on, son, and my good daughter, today it is rare for the whole family to get together, let's touch the cup together. ”
With the help of wine, the atmosphere of the dinner party is finally a little normal, a bit like a family eating together.
"Dad, how long can you stay this time?" After Yao Yuan answered the scores of his recent studies and mock exams, he finally convinced his parents that he had been studying hard, and he began to care about his father's work.
Yao Haiyang's chopsticks stopped and sighed: "Come back for a meeting, make a report, it is estimated that you can stay for three or five days, and then you have to go to Moscow and Kyiv, this business trip is estimated to take at least a month, I don't know if I can come back during the Spring Festival." ”
Yao Yuan's curiosity rose, the unit in charge of my dad is a secret unit, but I can guess it, they must be engaged in scientific research work related to the army, otherwise there would not be such perverted secrecy regulations, this time the Soviet Union has just disintegrated and dispersed into a number of stan countries, dad will go to Russia at this time, and then go to Ukraine, isn't there any special mission?
I didn't dare to ask for the details and couldn't ask about it, so I said casually: "Now that the political situation over there is unstable, maybe you can buy some advanced weapons and equipment in the past." ”
Yao Haiyang's face fell: "You kid knows a fart!" Don't say what you shouldn't say! ”
Yao Haiyang's attitude caused Comrade Fang Nan to be extremely dissatisfied: "Old Yao! This is at home, the children have made so many delicious things to welcome us home, you can't be disappointed! ”
Yao Haiyang also felt that he was a little excessive, and raised his small wine glass and played haha: "Hey, your father's unit is special, don't talk about these things when you eat, come and come, smash a toast with my father, I want to see how much my unicorn drinks now?" ”
The twenty-year-old Moutai is so delicious, Yao Yuan raised the wine glass, Fang Nan also raised the wine glass, and even Xiao Sun was forced to pour a glass of wine and raise it, the Arctic Ocean in the glass of Xiaohuaer was bubbling, and it looked good under the light.
The mellow flavor of Moutai sauce and the aroma of the dishes on the table are combined into a wonderful taste, which sets off the atmosphere of a family banquet more and more enthusiastic, and the so-called happiness is nothing more than that.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the knock was loud, urgent, and even felt a little rude.
Yao Yuan stood up, pressed Xiao Sun, who was just about to get up, and opened the door, and a big black face appeared at the gate that he didn't want to see, followed by a remnant.
Yao Haiyang stood up in surprise, the two old comrades-in-arms inevitably hugged and patted when they met, and after a greeting that you are old and you are fat, Lao Yao hugged his son: "Yao Yuan'er, hurry up and move chairs and pour wine for the two uncles!" ”
Damn, two uncles? When did Yu Ye's grandson become an "uncle"?!
Yao Yuan, who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, moved two round stools, took out two cups from the wine cabinet and put them on the table, Xiao Hua'er obediently sent two pairs of chopsticks, and the two uninvited guests sat at the table in such a grand manner.
At this time, the last thing Yao Yuan wanted to see was this Gu Changan, the big black face, and the King of Gu Yan.
The matter of Hongqi Company has not been confessed to his father, so even Man Cheng said that he wanted to come to see the old chief for the first time, but he was stopped by Yao Yuan, and as a result, the unprovoked King Gu Yan broke into the door.
King Gu Yan seemed to be in a very beautiful mood today, and after the wine was dry and Lao Yao touched it several times, he began to correct Lao Yao's mistakes: "In the future, I will not be the director, the deputy director of the Xicheng Bureau, who is in charge of public security work, and also serves as the secretary of our Qianjiakou, and the appointment has come down last week." ”
There is no one who is shameless to this extent, and everyone who is an official is very modest, he is good, he feels that others are calling their official titles small, so he simply introduced himself.
I don't want to think about it, whose credit is the reason why he was able to be promoted to the next level, the brother in the small courtyard caught an A-level wanted criminal for him, and I haven't seen him say anything until now.
After Gu Changan introduced his new official title, he didn't forget to introduce Yu Ye beside him: "This is Xiao Yu, don't look at his young age, now he is the captain of the newly established anti-pickpocket brigade in our district!" ”
