Chapter 240: Learn to cook
Huo Chen deserved to be a master of hunting, and in just half an hour, he came back with three pheasants and two hares.
As soon as Xu Ying saw him, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and he put his hands on his waist and commanded: "Huo Chen, you and Wu Qingsong have cleaned up the pheasants and hares first."
Fuying, you guys come with me. ”
Xu Ying squeezed the prepared apron and began to take charge of the chef.
"Look at it, if you want to learn how to do it, you can also light a fire next to it." After Xu Ying finished speaking, she called a stone to help her light the fire.
When the stone heard this, he ran over happily, and he was the best at lighting a fire.
Xu Ying chose a slightly larger fish, the fish had been washed, cut the fish in half, and then chopped off the head and put it aside.
In order to make the four of them study better, Xu Ying deliberately slowed down.
First, lay the fish flat with a sharp knife, from the tail to the head, and use the knife to cut the fish in half.
Then divide the meat and steak into two large slices of fish, and continue to slice the two large slices of fish horizontally with a knife and an oblique blade into a suitable size fillet, which can be slightly larger.
Lu Daya often cooks, and this thing is not difficult for her, so she gives up the work of cutting fish.
Gu Fuying wanted to learn cooking the most, so she volunteered to start cutting fish, but she had never cooked, and it was difficult to get a knife.
Wu Qingsong watched with relish from the sidelines, and did not forget to taunt Gu Fuying a few words: "It's really a big lady, you can't cut a fish." ”
Gu Fuying was stunned by him like this, and his face was suddenly full of anger: "You have the ability to cut it." ”
"I'll come, I'll come." Wu Qingsong stepped forward, took the kitchen knife, raised and dropped the knife in his hand, and soon the size was the same, and the uniform fish fillet was cut.
Gu Fuying's eyes widened, and she looked at Wu Qingsong's face full of incredulity: "You can even cook?" ”
Wu Qingsong smiled: "What's this, I have no parents when I was young, and my sister depends on each other, my sister is young, if I don't cook, we both have to starve to death." ”
Gu Fuying didn't expect him to have such a miserable background, his eyes were a little red, and he whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention your parents." ”
Wu Qingsong didn't care: "It's okay, this is a fact, I'm used to it." ”
From the very beginning, he was ridiculed by his fellow villagers as a fatherless and motherless wild cub, and in the end he has become accustomed to it.
The best shield is that you don't get provoked by these things, and those people don't think they're boring anymore and won't play tricks on you.
Xu Ying saw that the fish was cut, then put the fish fillet into a basin, rinse it several times (this can remove part of the fishy smell), then squeeze the water dry, put it in the plate, and then put in salt, white wine, and green onion and ginger in turn to extract the juice by hand, put it inside and grasp it with your hands, and marinate it for about 10 minutes.
Then add starch and eggs to grasp evenly.
These are relatively simple, and several people have learned them.
Then wash some side dishes, which are taken from home, peel and cut the bamboo shoots into strips, cut the mushrooms into slices for later use, and at the same time cut the ginger into shreds, the green onions are also shredded, the garlic is crushed, and the chives are chopped into green onions for later use.
"After the fillet is marinated, we pick out the green onion and ginger, then beat in an egg white, put in a spoonful of starch, and then grasp it well with our hands, and then marinate it for another 10 minutes, the fish will absorb the egg white and starch, so that the fish will be smoother and tenderer."
Then prepare a clean iron pot, put in the oil after heating, put in their secret soybean milk sauce after the oil is hot, then add peppercorns and fry together, add an appropriate amount of water, and then put the green onion and ginger inside, and then put in the dark soy sauce, white wine, aged vinegar, sugar, monosodium glutamate, boil over high heat and simmer for 5 minutes to release the flavor of pepper and ginger and shallots into the soup.
After cooking for almost 5 minutes, we used a colander to fish out the seasoning residue in the soup, of course, we can also leave it alone, Xu Ying didn't like to eat those things, so I fished them out.
After scooping out the seasoning residue, pour the lettuce strips and mushroom slices and cook them for 2 minutes, boil them raw, and then take them out and put them in the prepared large bowl for later use.
We put the marinated fish fillets into the pot, first turn on low heat and slowly cut it with chopsticks, and then turn on high heat and cook for a few minutes.
After the fillets are cooked, turn off the heat and take them out and put them in the soup bowl of the assembly vegetables, pour the soup into it as well, and then we sprinkle 5 grams of pepper noodles, 5 grams of chili noodles, and at the same time sprinkle the minced garlic for later use.
Then reheat some hot oil, pour it on the chili noodles, and with the sound of hot oil stinging, the boiled fish is ready.
With the burst of fragrance, everyone began to swallow their saliva.
Gu Fuying's fish and meat were also better, compared to Xu Ying, she looked at the dishes she had made, and her eyes were red with excitement.
Uncle Ying picked up the chopsticks, couldn't help but put a piece of fish meat in his mouth, a bite into his mouth, fragrant and spicy, anyway, she thought it was delicious.
"I'll taste it!" Wu Qingsong walked over, full of curiosity.
Picked up a piece and took a bite, although it was not as delicious as expected, but it was not bad, he rarely praised it: "Not bad, delicious!" ”
Gu Fuying snorted coldly, it was a must, she picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Gu Fuzhu on the side: "Cousin, can you taste it." ”
Under Gu Fuying's expectant eyes, Gu Fuzhu took a bite, it was spicy and fragrant, and the fresh fragrance of the fish instantly exploded in her mouth, she nodded with a face full of surprise: "It's delicious." ”
Gu Fuying thought that he had succeeded, smiled at Xu Ying, ran over quickly, sandwiched a piece of fish made by Xu Ying and put it in his mouth, and only used one bite.
Gu Fuying's eyes turned red, and she looked at Xu Ying aggrievedly: "Why do I do the same steps as you, why are you so delicious, and mine so plain." ”
Xu Ying was amused by her pitiful appearance and explained, "Because I am in this business."
You must be good at what you do, and you have never cooked before, so you must take your time at first.
If you cook once and make it better than me, then I haven't learned the cooking skills for so long in vain. ”
Gu Fuying pursed her mouth: "But didn't you just learn to cook?" ”
Xu Ying shook her head: "I only started cooking last year, but before I didn't cook, I watched my mother cook every day, and I had been studying for more than ten years at that time."
Isn't it equivalent to studying for more than ten years? ”
Gu Fuying was instantly comforted by Xu Ying's words, too, it was not bad for her to cook for the first time.
Looking at the boiled fish she made, Gu Fuying wanted to taste it for her parents later, this was her first time cooking.
Compared with the fish made by Xu Ying and Gu Fuying, everyone prefers what Xu Ying makes, and Gu Fuying can't help but feel a little disappointed when she sees everyone eating what Xu Ying makes.
Instead, Wu Qingsong stood in front of Gu Fuying, took a piece and praised while eating: "Although your knife skills are not very good, this fish tastes good." ”
"Then compare with you, who makes the deliciousest." Gu Fuying's face was full of anticipation.
Wu Qingsong thought for a moment: "It seems to be me." ”
