Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Heart Is Broken
"Old man, you don't see that I'm young and talk to me about fun, right?"
Bai Yu's voice was not small, Tan Qingyang also reacted at this time, and he was not annoyed after hearing Bai Yu's words, he shook his head and chuckled twice: "Female doll, you don't have to use the agitation method on me, if you can do it, I won't say anything about it, if you can't do it, you just say that I won't respond to it, how good this beggar is, how comfortable it is." ”
Originally, Bai Yu was really going to use the agitation method, but when he saw the old beggar say this, he didn't need to shrug his shoulders: "Yes, yes, you are the most comfortable, let's go now, you can't eat the ten dishes I made and don't follow me." ”
"No need, you send it to me before noon, and I'll go with you. ”
Tan Qingyang waved his hand impatiently when he heard this, he didn't believe that Bai Yu could do it.
In this regard, Bai Yu got up and glanced at him noncommittally, and said with some anxiety: "Then don't run away here." ”
It's hard to find someone, if she runs away coldly, where will she find someone, and wait for her to start work.
Tan Qingyang saw that Bai Yu looked like he was afraid that he would run away, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "Let's go, hurry up, I'm going to run early." ”
When Bai Yu heard this, he thought about it, and finally got up and went home.
On the way back, Bai Yu bought a lot of vegetables and went back, originally wanted to buy a fish, and finally saw the parallel goods, there were a lot of shrimp and crabs in it, seeing this, Bai Yu only felt that the saliva was going to flow out, and he didn't say anything and bought the shrimp and crabs back.
When he got home, he began to prepare to eat, Xue Ziyi was originally detained by Xue Hanyu to read and write, but when he saw Bai Yu cooking on the fire, he immediately stopped reading and went to the kitchen without saying a word.
Tan Qingyang is old, and he doesn't know how long he has been a beggar on the street, so his stomach shouldn't be very good after all, Bai Yu, who originally wanted to make some Sichuan food, thought about it, and finally gave up.
You can cook Sichuan food at any time, the restaurant is open, what dishes can't be made, do it now, what if you eat people out of a good way.
Thinking like this, Bai Yu finally gave up the idea of making Sichuan food and made some dishes that tasted more delicious.
After thinking about it, Bai Yu looked at the ingredients on the side, and finally made up her mind, the ingredients were pork ribs, fish, chicken, duck, shrimp, crab, and vegetables, radish, mushrooms, etc., wouldn't it be ten or eight?
Thinking like this, Bai Yu asked Xue Ziyi on the side to help deal with the ingredients, except for shrimp and crabs, the rest were handed over to her, during this time, Xue Ziyi followed Bai Yu to help with these ingredients, from the beginning of the rusty, to now it is also handy.
Xue Ziyi was processing the ingredients, and Bai Yu was cooking, originally she wanted to steam rice casually, but now that she bought shrimp and crabs and came back, there are not many of them, and she can't cook anything at all, so she simply makes crab porridge.
Yulin Town is close to the sea. There are many docks, there are many seafood, but they are all fish, those fish are to be transported away, there are relatively few sold in the market, but they are not very expensive, after all, she has no money to buy before, besides, the meals she made before, home cooking, there is no need for those things at all, yes, I have never paid attention to it, but I have never seen crabs and shrimps, let alone whether anyone has eaten them, yes, Bai Yu has never eaten crabs and shrimps when she arrives here.
Speaking of which, these two things are really her favorites, and if it weren't for the fact that there were too few of them at this time, she really wanted to eat them all by herself.
Because of the opening of the restaurant, the guys in the kitchen are relatively complete, boiling the porridge on the pot, picking the shrimp line, washing the crabs and removing the lungs, and then taking out the meat and putting it in a bowl for later use.
By the time Bai Yu had processed the shrimp and crabs, the chickens, ducks, fish and other things on Xue Ziyi's side on the side had already been processed, the porridge on the fire had already been boiled, and the original water was also the white of rice soup.
After doing this, Bai Yu cut the ginger and garlic that had been stored on the side, wiped the chicken inside and out, sprinkled the fish with a thin layer of salt, poured the oil into the pot, and heated it.
Because of making the whole fish, the fish picked by Bai Yu was not big, and it was fried brown after a while, and after the fish was fried, Bai Yu put the fish aside for later use, and picked up the chicken coated with ginger and garlic.
"Ziyi, come here. ”
At this time, Xue Ziyi had almost washed all the dishes, and when she heard Bai Yu's voice, she hurriedly ran over: "Sister-in-law, you called me, do you want to help?"
When Bai Yu heard this, he shook his head: "I'm going to make white-cut chicken, you watch from the side, this chicken is more elaborate than spicy chicken shreds, you look at it first, and I'll teach you how to make it when the time comes." ”
The white-cut chicken looks colorless, just like boiled, but it's not really just boiled, just cut it and dip it into the sauce, especially when cooking the chicken, but if it's not cooked well, it won't taste like that at all.
When Xue Ziyi heard that Bai Yu was going to ask her to cook, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Bai Yu with a sparkle: "I know my sister-in-law, I will definitely take it seriously." ”
To say, although Xue Ziyi said that she learned to read and write with Xue Hanyu, she also likes to recognize words, but her favorite thing is cooking, especially looking at Bai Yu, who is obviously not much older than her, but as long as she makes a move, any kind of dish can be turned into a delicacy in her hands, and she admires it in her heart, yes, learning to cook is her ultimate goal.
Seeing this, Bai Yu put the chicken in the water, added fire, and turned his head to look at Xue Ziyi: "The white-cut chicken seems simple, because it is relatively light, and there is no big ingredient, unlike the previous spicy chicken shredded live hot and sour chicken, you can use chili peppers or big ingredients to enhance the taste." ”
"But the white cut chicken is not good, when cooking with water, some people may not feel, but some of the taste is more sensitive may feel that there is a fishy smell of meat, so you have to coat the inside and outside of the chicken with ginger and garlic, and then wait for it to almost absorb the appearance, apply again, today I am a little rushed, only painted twice, time permitting, you can apply a few more times. ”
Bai Yu's voice was not loud, slowly, and Xue Ziyi on the side listened attentively.
As he spoke, the water on the fire was already slowly bubbling, and it wouldn't take long for it to start.
Bai Yu didn't speak again, but put his eyes on the pot, holding the long chopsticks that he had made before: "Pay attention when boiling chicken, don't cook it for too long, if you want to cook such a chicken, it will generally be cooked for ten ......" Bai Yu originally wanted to say that it would be boiled for fifteen minutes, but when she thought of fifteen minutes, Xue Ziyi didn't know how long it was, but she didn't know how these fifteen minutes were said in ancient times.
After thinking about it for a long time, he held back a sentence: "Half of half an hour, in half." ”
Half and half? Xue Ziyi looked confused, and it took a long time to react: "Sister-in-law is talking about the time of half a pillar of incense, right?"
Huh?: "Probably. ”
Saying that, the water boiled, Bai Yu looked at the chicken for almost five minutes, and then took the chopsticks and turned the chicken in the pot once, every five minutes, because I didn't know how to tell Xue Ziyi about this five minutes, yes, Bai Yu directly let her watch it by herself, and estimated how much time.
Cooking is already an instinct for Bai Yu, there is no need to time at all, her body seems to have a memory, and when she cooks each dish, her body has an instinctive reaction, when to do something.
After a while, Bai Yu picked up the chicken from the pot and put it in the cold boiled water prepared on the side.
"When the chicken is scooped up, it is still hot and not in a hurry to cut it, so it is scattered, and you can directly put it aside and wait for it to cool down by itself, I put it in cold boiled water because it can make the skin of the chicken smoother and the meat more delicious. ”
As he spoke, he paused, and turned his head to look at Xue Ziyi: "If the chicken wants to be cooled, it must be put in cold boiled water, and it can't be used in cold water, in this case, it is easy to have a stomach." ”
Xue Ziyi was thinking about why he had to use cold boiled water, and it was the same with cold water, when he was in a hurry, what could he do if the boiling water was not cold, when he heard Bai Yu say this, he immediately nodded.
"Sister-in-law, isn't this cold water the same as cold boiled water? Why do you have to use cold boiled water, isn't that redundant?"
It's going to be cold anyway, so why boil it to make it cold again.
Xue Ziyi asked Bai Yu at this, and after thinking for a while, Bai Yu said slowly: "In cold water, there is an invisible insect, if you use cold water, the insect will easily run to the food, and then be eaten into the stomach, and it is easy to make stomach trouble." ”
Bai Yu couldn't explain to Xue Ziyi what bacteria were, and finally thought of a more understandable statement, Xue Ziyi, who was originally standing next to Bai Yu, suddenly turned white after hearing Bai Yu's words.
Then the cold water she drinks a lot of the time, isn't that drinking a lot of bugs into it??
Thinking of this, Xue Ziyi suddenly felt that the whole person was not good and wanted to vomit.
Seeing this, Bai Yu couldn't help but sigh: "So when you drink water in the future, you have to drink boiled water." ”
From here, Bai Yu drinks boiled water, even with Ji Linyuan, the Xue family, after drinking Widow Zhang, they also drank boiled water, they only knew that they were used to drinking like this, so they would burn it every day, anyway, there was cold boiled water, and naturally they also drank cold boiled water, which was a habit that was invisibly affected.
But why Bai Yu drank it like this, they didn't know, at this time, Bai Yu gave Xue Ziyi a science popularization, and I believe that she will soon teach it to others.
After talking to Xue Ziyi about why he wanted to drink cold boiled water, it was cold for a while, and after the chicken was completely cooled, he took out the chicken, controlled the moisture, and smeared it with a layer of oil.
"That's it, the white-cut chicken is ready, and then it will be cut directly, and the sauce can be adjusted, you can think about it first, and then you can look at it." ”
After saying that, Bai Yu began to get busy.
Sweet and sour fish, braised pork, braised duck with potatoes, braised lion's head, sour and hot shredded potatoes, braised tofu, dragon beard noodles, cold chrysanthemum, stir-fried cabbage, three fresh soup, and a potato cake, presented one by one under Bai Yu's little hands.
Xue Ziyi on the side stood aside, looking at Bai Yu shuttling by the stove, the whole person was a little confused, she finally knew that there was only one stove in the kitchen, why did she change it to a few for her sister-in-law.
The figure of the sister-in-law shuttles back and forth between the stoves, and every time she stops, she can produce a dish, watching the delicacies come out in the hands of the sister-in-law, Xue Ziyi has already admired the five bodies to the ground.
As soon as Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu came back, they smelled a burst of fragrance, and Zhang Ziheng and Zheng Yuansheng, who came with them, rushed to the kitchen in an arrow step, looking at the dishes on the kitchen table, and their saliva almost came out.
There are a lot of dishes, Zheng Yuansheng has never seen Bai Yu since he met Bai Yu, except for the previous time when Ji Linyuan was in Xie Yuan, he has never seen Bai Yu cook so many dishes, and in addition to sour and hot potato shreds, stir-fried cabbage, and three fresh soups, other dishes have never been seen before, Zheng Yuansheng has never seen them, and Zhang Ziheng on the side has also seen several dishes.
Xue Ziyi on the side saw the two of them coming in, and looked at them vigilantly, this is the dish that my sister-in-law wants to use, but I can't let them eat it, because at the moment when they stretched out their hands, Xue Ziyi slapped the hands of the two of them with lightning speed.
"You can't eat this dish, eat it, don't think about eating your sister-in-law's dishes after eating." ”
The two of them were slapped like this, and they were about to make persistent efforts, when they heard Xue Ziyi's words coldly, they suddenly stopped moving.
"Ziyi, what are you going to do about my sister-in-law?"
Zhang Ziheng, who could see whether he could eat it, looked at Xue Ziyi aggrievedly.
"Cooking. Xue Ziyi was concise and to the point.
Zhang Ziheng, who originally wanted to get something out of Xue Ziyi's mouth, almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurted out after hearing Xue Ziyi's answer, he also knew that he was cooking, what he wanted to know was who to cook for, such a big battle.
As soon as Ji Linyuan drank Xue Hanyu and came in, he saw such a scene, Zhang Ziheng looked at Xue Ziyi without tears, while Zheng Yuansheng on the side had a pair of eyes glued to the dishes on the table, looking like he wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat.
Xue Ziyi, on the other hand, wrenched his face and looked at the two of them vigilantly.
In the end, their eyes fell on Bai Yu's body, only to see Bai Yu holding a radish in one hand and a knife in the other, carving intently, and with her knife by knife, a model of an animal came out.
During the Chinese New Year, the two of them had eaten snowflake dragon beard noodles made of white jade, and even if it was just a prototype, they knew what white jade was going to carve at the moment.
After a while, with her movements, a dragon head was carved out and placed in front of the fried dragon whiskers.
After all this was done, as soon as Bai Yu looked up, he saw Ji Linyuan drinking Xue Hanyu standing in the kitchen, and the two poor people.
"You're here. ”
Bai Yu looked at a few people and said with a smile.
"Hmm. Ji Linyuan replied in a low voice.
Zheng Yuansheng on the side saw that Bai Yu was busy with the work in his hands, and he didn't stare at the dishes anymore, but stared at Bai Yu.
"Yu'er, are you making these things for seeing?" Zheng Yuansheng wanted to eat it, but he didn't dare, why? Because Xue Ziyi said that after eating it, he would never want to eat the dishes made of white jade again.
I don't know how many dishes Bai Yu can cook, let him never eat again, isn't that a sin?
"Yes, sister-in-law, I think it looks good, if only I could eat a little. Zhang Ziheng nodded, and swallowed his saliva very cooperatively.
Bai Yu looked at the appearance of the two of them, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, this old and young, I'm afraid that for food, anything can be done.
"You can't eat this, but you can eat. ”
When Zhang Ziheng and Zheng Yuansheng heard this, they could only eat, and glanced at the thick white rice porridge that was cooking on the fire, and suddenly they were dished, what is delicious about white rice porridge, they can eat it every day if they want to, they want to eat vegetables.
The two only felt that one heart had been deeply hurt.
Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu, looking at Zhang Ziheng's appearance, couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, seeing that Bai Yu was walking towards the stove where the porridge was boiling with something, walked to Zhang Ziheng's side in two steps, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Ziheng's shoulder: "If you don't eat it, forget it, I'll eat." ”
"But no, if you don't eat it, you're still picky eaters, you eat it thin, and if you eat it, we have to eat less. ”
Xue Ziyi pursed her mouth when she heard this, looking like she likes to eat or not, and she doesn't eat it, her sister-in-law's porridge has been boiling over low heat, thinking about it, and the materials are still available, how can it be white rice porridge.
The two of them, who were originally still interested in Shan Shan, suddenly became energetic when they heard Xue Ziyi and Ji Linyuan say this.
No, why are white rice porridge so rare?
While thinking about it, I smelled the fragrance wafting over the kitchen.
Bai Yu put the crab meat and shrimp into the porridge, stirred, increased the = low heat, and cooked for about a minute or two, after the crab meat and shrimp were cooked, add shredded ginger and salt, and suddenly the fragrance wafted out, add a little chopped green onion, and it is done.
Smelling the smell of seafood coming from the pot, Bai Yu couldn't help but sniffle, feeling like the saliva in his mouth was about to flow out.
"Okay, but ......" to eat.
Before Bai Yu's words were finished, two large bowls appeared in front of her eyes.
"Trouble sister-in-law. Zhang Ziheng said with a shy face.
He didn't know what his sister-in-law added, but it was fragrant, and he had never smelled it, a little fishy, but it wasn't very smelly, on the contrary, it was very fragrant.
Along with Zhang Ziheng, there was also Zheng Yuansheng's bowl, and the old man didn't speak, just looked at him, a look, I just look at what you do, looking at Bai Yu and couldn't help but support his forehead.
"The ......"
"Ziyi, you come and dress them up, I'm going to go out for a while. ”
Originally, Bai Yu wanted them to pretend by themselves, but when the words came to their mouths, they didn't dare to say it, looking at the green light in their eyes, if they let them come by themselves, she was really afraid that the pot would be robbed for them, and in the end she had to ask Xue Ziyi to help them pretend.
When Xue Ziyi heard this, he nodded and helped them load it, while Bai Yu took a bowl and filled it and went to the inn.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go, are you going to the inn? ”
Ji Linyuan saw that Bai Yu was leaving, so he hurriedly walked up, and while he was talking, he went to the inn, and if Bai Yu wanted to refuse, he didn't say it in his mouth.
Xue Hanyu looked at Ji Linyuan's departing back, then at Bai Yu, and couldn't help but shake his head.
After a while, Ji Linyuan came back, followed by Widow Zhang and the people who came out of the village together.
"Sister-in-law, here. ”
Hearing this, Bai Yu nodded, and led people into the kitchen, and saw that as soon as the people came to the kitchen, a pair of eyes were fixed on the table, and their eyes were full of shock.
The few young people who originally followed Bai Yu out to learn to cook, before seeing Bai Yu arrange them in the inn, they couldn't see anyone, and they were still a little lost in their hearts, but now when they saw this table full of dishes, their eyes changed when they looked at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu glanced at the sky outside, it was already noon, and said in a deep voice: "Take the dishes on the table with me, and come back in the evening to make food for you." ”
After Zheng Yuansheng, who was originally eating porridge, heard Bai Yu's words, he hurriedly put down the hot shrimp and crab porridge that couldn't be eaten, ran to the table, and served a potato cake.
"Well, I'll serve it for you too. "He wants to see who has such a big face to let Bai Yubaba cook such a big table of dishes, and he has to send them over, maybe he can go to eat a meal.
Zheng Yuansheng moved, and Zhang Ziheng on the side also moved, and without saying a word, he took a dish and looked at Bai Yu.
Seeing this, Bai Yu only felt a little pain in her brain, and waved her hand at the two helplessly: "End and end." ”
The two of them served, the Xue Ziyi brothers and sisters on the side and Ji Linyuan didn't say a word, and one of them served a dish, and several people on the side saw that the dish was about to be served, so they were in a hurry, and hurriedly went to serve a dish, and finally there was a bowl of porridge and two dishes left, Bai Yu was about to serve porridge when he saw this, but he was stopped by a pair of slender and bony hands.
"Sister-in-law, I'll come. Ji Linyuan looked at the bowl of hot porridge, put down the dish in his hand, took a towel, and stepped forward to serve it, leaving Bai Yu with no room to refuse.
Seeing this, Bai Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, seeing that it was noon, he didn't care about saying anything more, and the Xue family, Widow Zhang, and a few people served a dish one by one, and set off in a mighty way.
Bai Yu's formation is not small, as soon as he goes out, the street attracts a lot of people, some are attracted by the taste of the vegetables, and some are attracted by this formation, but the people who are attracted to it, looking at the food that they hold in their hands, the color and fragrance are full of saliva and swallow saliva, the people who were eating are not eating at this time, throw down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and come out to see the excitement.
Zheng Yuansheng was holding the dish, feeling that the saliva was bubbling in his mouth, but what he looked at was the white-cut chicken that was held in his hand by Bai Yu, and he suddenly regretted that he couldn't do it, he should have served the chicken before, and it was good to smell it, why did he serve a plate of dim sum, and he couldn't smell anything.
Thinking like this, Zheng Yuansheng's heart became curious about the person who wanted to eat this dish, until Bai Yu led them to a beggar, Zheng Yuansheng's whole person collapsed.
Tan Qingyang should have packed up his things and gone home a long time ago, but today he stayed there and didn't move, thinking about the female doll who had been here for a few days, he looked at the sky, and saw that the sun was getting bigger, he sighed, and even he didn't know whether he was disappointed or sad.
Thinking that noon was almost over, and it was time for him to go back to find something to eat, he was about to go home with the broken bowl in front of him, when he heard a voice sound.
