Chapter 67: White Jade Chicken Breast
Cao Ping didn't speak, he walked out of the back kitchen with a plate, Zhao Liying was still feeding with the phone, and when she saw Cao Ping coming out and the dishes in his hand, she was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, you really know how to cook!"
Cao Ping pursed his lips and smiled, licking his lips gently, looking a little embarrassed, but he couldn't suppress a trace of pride, he felt that he could cook for the first time It was a very proud thing to be able to cook. He looked behind Zhao Liying www.biquge.info and asked, "Are you alone?"
Zhao Liying said with a smile behind her back: "Sister Hao Ru went to drink with the producer, and other people have something to do, so I'll come here alone." ”
Cao Ping still wanted to speak, but Wang Yuan came over and looked at Zhao Liying with a smile.
Cao Ping hurriedly introduced: "This is my brother, brother, this is Zhao Liying, is ...... It's my friend. Wang Yuan smiled and said: "No need to introduce, big star, why do I keep my eyelids jumping, it turns out that there is a great beauty Lu coming, it is really brilliant!"
Zhao Liying laughed and joked: "Which eyelid jumps? It can't be a disaster, right?" Regarding the left eye jumping wealth or the right eye jumping wealth in various regions, Wang Yuan is an old oilman, and he opened his mouth and said: "The two jumped together! I asked the fortune teller Huang Banxian to calculate a hexagram, and the half-immortal said that he would meet a noble person today, didn't he meet you as soon as he came back!"
Zhao Liying laughed and said to Cao Ping: "Your brother is really funny......"
Aunt Wang looked at it with a smile on the side, and said to Wang Yuan: "Don't stand and talk, let the girl sit inside!" Wang Yuan hurriedly introduced Zhao Liying into the private room, let her sit down, and said: "Our Pingzi called me at noon to prepare materials, and this time the family will go to the kitchen, our Pingzi's craftsmanship, not I blow it, the whole Hengdian, I can't find a better one than him, don't believe you to taste it?"
Cao Ping put the dish on the table and said with a smile: "The kidneys I bought specially for you, make up for you, try it." ”
Zhao Liying curiously picked up a piece with chopsticks, the waist flowers were like hedgehogs in clusters, and like chrysanthemums, each petal was separated one by one, hanging with oily marinade, fragrant. Zhao Liying smelled it, there was no fishy smell, only a strong fragrance in her nose, and she couldn't wait to take a bite. The slight burnt aroma in the entrance seemed to hide some tempting taste, the teeth bit open the meat, and the tender Q bomb in the mouth made Zhao Liying chew like a squirrel. Long-term pickling has made the kidney flower tend to a semi-mature state, and the waist flower is fully ripe in a very short time by stir-frying on high heat, but it still retains the original freshness. The miraculous knife work makes the waist flower only have a thin layer of flesh to connect, but there is no damage. A special proportion of marinade soaks every inch ***, but because the time is too short, it is only wrapped outside. What makes Zhao Liying squint her eyes with enjoyment is that every chew after the waist flower enters the mouth is to make the gravy and marinade meet and merge again in the mouth, and the faint pepper taste is like the finishing touch to use it to enhance the effect of freshness, so that the meat bursts out on the tongue coating with amazing deliciousness, making Zhao Liying almost moan.
Zhao Liying shook her head from side to side, squinting her eyes with a smile, she couldn't describe it, she just pointed to the plate with chopsticks, then picked up another piece and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "It's delicious!"
Food is the most primitive sense of happiness, the foundation of human happiness, and can even lead to the profound philosophical question of whether people live to eat or to eat to live.
Zhao Liying doesn't have time to think about these problems now, even Wang Yuan doesn't have time to deal with them, she doesn't care about being polite, and there is only one sentence left on her lips: "Have a bowl of rice?"
Wang Yuan got up and said playfully, "Don't bother you, I'll go get rice, Miss Zhao will eat more, just treat it as her own home!" After speaking, he pushed the door and went out.
Zhao Liying suddenly turned her face to look at Cao Ping, Cao Ping didn't know why, the two looked at each other, Zhao Liying said: "This is your home?" Cao Ping nodded and said, "Yes!" Zhao Liying sighed, put down the chopsticks and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I'll buy something! No, I'll go out." "As he spoke, he was about to go out.
Cao Ping hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't be busy, don't worry, we don't pay attention to this." ”
Zhao Liying shook her head and said, "No, this is a matter of etiquette, eating out is one thing, but since it is to your house, it must not come empty-handed!" Zhao Liying greeted Aunt Wang and said with a sweet smile: "Auntie, I thought Cao Ping was going to eat out, but I didn't expect it to come to the house, I'm sorry, I was a little rude just now." In the evening the gift shop was closed, so I bought some milk and fruit for you and your uncle, don't be disgusted. ”
Aunt Wang was very surprised, and said happily: "Oh, thank you! You are Xiaoping's friend, just come and play, what else do you buy? Oh, there aren't many children who know the rules so well now, it's so good!" After a few polite words, Aunt Wang took the things and shouted to the kitchen: "Dad! Xiaoping's friend has come to see you!"
Uncle Wang agreed, wiped his hands with an apron and walked out with a smile, Zhao Liying greeted him obediently, said a few words of greeting, Aunt Wang asked Uncle Wang to fry two more dishes, and accompanied Zhao Liying back to the private room. Zhao Liying came according to the rules, and Aunt Wang naturally entertained her in the way of a traditional family banquet.
The cold dishes in the kitchen are ready-made, Uncle Wang brought four cold dishes after a while, and said with a smile: "Pad your stomach first, the hot dishes will be served immediately, Xiaoping, greet people well!" Zhao Liying originally thought that since it was Cao Ping's house, it was naturally a matter of politeness to buy some gifts, but she didn't expect Uncle Wang and them to suddenly become formal, which made Zhao Liying a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't bother, these dishes are enough, this will delay your business, you can greet other guests first!"
Uncle Wang put away the tray and said with a smile: "It's okay, you have a good time, uncle has a lot of hands and feet!"
Zhao Liying hurriedly said: "Uncle, I really don't need it, I can't eat much." ”
Uncle Wang smiled and said, "You can't eat Xiaoping! Xiaoping can eat it!" Uncle Wang saw the waist flower on the table, and he realized that he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "I know, after eating Xiaoping's dishes, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat my uncle's dishes! Xiaoping, you can cook two more dishes!"
"Hey!" Cao Ping got up in response, Zhao Liying still wanted to say something, but Aunt Wang took her hand and chatted about homely things: "Auntie knows that you are actors, you left your hometown to come to Hengdian, and you are adrift all year round, very hard, Xiaoping has not been here for long, it is rare for a friend to come to play at home, and in the future, I will treat this as my own home, and come to play if I have nothing to do." ”
Zhao Liying had no choice but to accompany Aunt Wang to talk, and when she heard Aunt Wang's words, she asked: "What do you mean when you say that Cao Ping has not been here for long?
"Didn't Xiaoping tell you?" Aunt Wang sighed: "Actually, I shouldn't have said this, but you are friends, and Xiaoping will tell you sooner or later." Xiaoping, this kid, is also quite pitiful......"
Cao Ping went to the kitchen, looked at the materials, and roughly had an idea in his heart, the banquet dishes are not allowed to be single, generally speaking, there are delicacies from the mountains and seas, birds and beasts, so that it can be called a formal banquet, and the specifications are adjusted according to the identities of both parties. For ordinary meals, mushrooms are used for mountain delicacies, fish is selected for seafood, birds are chickens, and animals are naturally meat and hard dishes for pigs, horses, cattle and sheep.
Now that I have a stir-fried waist flower, it's almost enough to stir-fry three dishes and cook a soup, and I really can't eat any more. Since the banquet has been held, the dishes must not be fried too long, and considering that Zhao Liying is a girl, Cao Ping decided to make three more authentic and relatively refreshing Hebei dishes.
The first course is to make white jade chicken breast, Cao Ping picked up a tender chicken, took off a thin sharp knife to remove the bones and skin, and flew his wrist. Uncle Wang smiled and half-jokingly said: "Xiaoping, your skills are so good, just come back and be a chef for me, we will definitely be able to make the best restaurant in Hengdian." ”
Cao Ping smiled and said, "Okay!" Uncle Wang said: "I'm serious! Your craftsmanship is so good, you can be the signboard of our store, you can take pictures and take pictures, you can take one day a week to come to the store, the business is estimated to be very prosperous, if you can, all the income when you stand in the store is your salary!"
Cao Ping put down the knife and said seriously: "Uncle Wang, I have always regarded you as relatives and this place as my home, and when it comes to salary, I will help in the store on weekends in the future, but you must not say anything about salary." ”
Uncle Wang also said seriously: "I know, I also treat you as my child, but you always have to get married! You always have to earn money to buy a house and a car......
Cao Ping interrupted Uncle Wang's words and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, I am an adult and already have the ability to take care of myself, I will be self-reliant, even if I buy a car and a house, I will buy it with the money I earn, don't worry about me." You don't think I can't even afford to raise myself, do you?"
Uncle Wang couldn't refute it, shook his head with a smile and said, "You kid." ”
Cao Ping smiled and continued to cook, the chicken had already been shaved, Cao Ping took two kitchen knives, put the chicken breast on the cutting board and prepared to chop it into minced chicken. Cao Ping's wrists shook slightly, and he saw the two kitchen knives turn into a ball of knife light, and the chicken changed from a piece of meat to a strip of meat, and then from a strip of meat to a diced piece of meat at a speed visible to the naked eye, while his subordinates were silent, without the slightest sound of kitchen knives colliding with the board. This shows that Cao Ping's control of power has reached a very fine level, and the chicken minced chicken that originally needed to be chopped for more than ten minutes has been chopped in just over three minutes.
Cao Ping put the minced chicken in a basin, added green onions, ginger, and water, stirred in one direction, then added egg white, refined salt, and stirred again, at this time the minced chicken has become a kind of tenacious meat paste. Cao Ping beat two more egg whites, poured them into a bowl, pulled out two chopsticks and shook them quickly in the egg whites, Cao Ping's wrists shook slightly, passed to the top of the chopsticks, as if there was a whisk-like effect, in a moment, the egg whites have been beaten into egg bubbles, add the egg whites to the chicken minced, Cao Ping began to heat the pot.
The white jade chicken breast needs to be fried with lard, Cao Ping put a piece of solidified white lard into the pot, melt it with medium heat, burn it until it is hot, pour the chicken minced chicken into the pot, slowly slide one side with warm oil, and then turn it over, until the two sides are swollen and formed, and the color is white and bright, take out and drain the oil. Subsequently, Cao Ping still uses the oil left in the pot, after continuing to heat, put in the pepper and stir-fry, take it out after the fragrance, and then put in the magnolia slices and rape heart to stir-fry, and then put the tender chicken breast meat that has drained the oil into the pot and stir-fry, and then add oil, salt, monosodium glutamate, pepper and other seasonings, as well as Uncle Wang's artifact fresh soup, after boiling, add a little wet starch water to thicken it and it will come out of the pot.
