Chapter 238: Homemade Essence of Chicken
The home-style version of chicken essence is actually chicken breast, dried shiitake mushrooms and dried shrimp skin, three ingredients are ground into powder, and then mixed to use their fresh fragrance to enhance freshness.
Chicken soup is fresh, chicken breast can provide, mushrooms are originally the fresh food of nature, and shrimp skin is the fresh food of seafood, they have their own fascinating fresh aroma.
So, after frying them, grinding them into powder, and then fusing them, it is the home-style version of chicken essence.
There is no technology and hard work, they are all real materials, and the materials are safe.
Xiao Nianzhi said it briefly and began to make it.
In the early stage, she needs to do the step of frying, stir-frying, or drying.
The shrimp skin was very dry in the sun, but Xiao Nianzhi was afraid that it would have impurities and not clean it, which would affect the chicken essence later.
So, I soaked it in water again and washed it.
After that, it is slowly baked over low heat to bring out the fresh flavor thoroughly, which is much better than drying it directly.
Dried shiitake mushrooms and chicken breasts are also the same steps.
Near noon, all three ingredients were finally baked.
In fact, during the baking process, the fresh fragrance has already wafted out.
A very fresh and natural, but invisible, quietly seductive taste.
Anyway, Steward Qiu was very curious, and asked Xiao Nianzhi about it, knowing that she was not rejected, so they squeezed over to watch the excitement.
It's just that a group of rough men are not too embarrassed to squeeze Xiao Nianzhi, so they stretched their necks one by one, and their bodies twisted into various postures.
Anyway, Aunt Yu was watching from the side, and she couldn't help but applaud secretly: they were trying too hard to see the excitement!
You must know that most of the people in Steward Qiu's group have retired from the battlefield and have nowhere to go.
More or less, they all have some old diseases and dark wounds, or obvious disabilities.
However, at this time, they couldn't take care of it, and Steward Qiu's legs, which were a little weak, also burst out with vitality at this time.
Anyway, at this moment, Aunt Yu couldn't see that there was something wrong with Steward Qiu's leg.
When the three ingredients are cooked, the next step is grinding.
This step is a delicate job, because there is no wall breaker, so you need to grind slowly with a mortar.
If Xiao Nianweaving is allowed to do it, this work is estimated to take two days.
Just grinding this step, she estimated that it would take a day.
The final powder needs to be fine, it needs to be sprinkled into the dish, and it needs to be almost perfectly integrated into it.
Therefore, in the process of grinding, it is definitely not possible to succeed at the first time.
Xiao Nianzhi put all the ingredients in the basin on the side, and then motioned to Qiu to manage them: "Uncle Qiu, you can start grinding." ”
When Steward Qiu heard this, it was finally their turn, and they were ready to do it one by one!
I have to say that even if Steward Qiu retreats from the battlefield, his endurance should not be underestimated.
This can already be seen from the last time the cream was beaten.
Now grinding, you can see it even more.
Don't look at them as rough men, but they do fine work, very carefully, and from time to time they will ask Xiao Nianzhi, is this okay, is that okay?
Xiao Nianzhi was tired all morning, and now he can finally rest for a while, and he only needs to deal with it occasionally, just ask from the uncles.
Therefore, she directly took the new script given by Xiao Qing and looked at it.
Aunt Yu was curious and came over, and found that Xiao Nianzhi should be watching all kinds of ambiguous romance stories that are popular in the capital, and they are not too explicit, so she nodded: "This is not bad." ”
Xiao Qing's gift, it must have been carefully checked.
Moreover, he is not very old, and if he goes to copy books, those bookstores or bookstore owners will definitely not be able to give him those stories that are too explicit.
When he arrived at Xiao Nianzhi, it was Xiao Qing who filtered it for the second time, and it was impossible to have any meaning of crossing the line.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't understand what Aunt Yu meant, but when the other party was bored and wanted to read it, she picked up another book and handed it to Aunt Yu: "Auntie, do you want to read it together?" ”
Aunt Yu flipped through the Tao Te Ching for most of the day, and she was a little tired, so she just changed her eyes and took it.
The master and apprentice flipped through the script and gave some guidance to Steward Qiu.
With their help, the ingredients are quickly ground into powder, and finally mixed directly together, and then sprinkled with some ...... when cooking
Well, it is much more convenient and quick to simmer slower than low heat, and the fresh aroma of various ingredients must be much more convenient and fast.
It's not that there are no fresh seasonings now, it's just that many precious ingredients are simply unbearable for ordinary people, and the process is very long, so you need to simmer slowly over low heat to bring out the freshness of the ingredients.
This method of improving freshness is not suitable for Xiao Nianweaving.
What she pictured is a convenient, fast and easy operation, so this home-style version of chicken essence is the best.
At noon, I ate the buns that Steward Qiu brought back, and they were meat buns!
After all, at the beginning of the month, the canteen budget is sufficient, and the food must be better.
But at the end of the month......
Well, it's possible that it's all greens, and the students who eat it have blue eyes.
At noon, it can be regarded as a fool, and for dinner, Steward Qiu asked Xiao Nianzhi, if the little girl goes to do supper, then they will not eat dinner, and eat more for supper.
Almost all of the Qiu stewards are unconcerned and single, and some of the wages they earn are saved when they are old and used as coffins, and some of them are used for daily food and drink.
Therefore, it is not too luxurious for them to have a late-night snack once in a while.
Today's weather is fine, Xiao Nianzhi is not lazy, so when Manager Qiu asked, she nodded hurriedly: "I'm going, I was delayed for a day yesterday, and I'm embarrassed." ”
Hearing that Xiao Nianzhi was going to make a supper, Manager Qiu smiled heartily: "Then let's not go to dinner, waiting for Yuan Niang's supper." ”
They all take care of Xiao Nianzhi as a junior, and when there are no outsiders, they are all called Yuan Niang.
Everyone went into battle and made a small jar of chicken essence, which is estimated to be enough for a while.
For what to eat for dinner......
Xiao Nianzhi was also thinking, Aunt Yu looked at the book for an afternoon, raised her head at this time, and suddenly said: "I remember, the osmanthus in the back mountain should have been opened, right?" ”
The master and apprentice haven't come back recently, so naturally they don't know the situation in the back mountain.
Therefore, Aunt Yu asked Steward Qiu what she said.
Although Steward Qiu is in charge of procurement, he also knows about the affairs of the college.
After all, they are all fixed assets.
Therefore, when Aunt Yu asked, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the fragrance came out two days ago, and those students went to enjoy the flowers and poems during their lunch break. ”
The batch of their academies opened relatively early, but in August, osmanthus flowers from all over the country have also opened one after another.
It's just that because of the geographical location of the capital, it is more northern, so more osmanthus flowers are in mid-August and open at the end of August.
For example, their academy, which opened at the beginning of the month, is indeed early.
As soon as he heard that there were osmanthus flowers, Xiao Nianzhi's eyes lit up.
Osmanthus, it is also an ingredient!
