Chapter 164: Half a child
Smiling and nodding to Yang He, indicating that he handled it well, Zhou Zhi retreated to the kitchen and began to prepare the last hard dish - raw and fried eel.
Every time I make this dish, that classic saying always comes to Zhou Zhi’s mind.
High-end ingredients often only require simple methods to cook...
Take this dish as an example. The ingredients are the tenderest young ginger and green pepper, both of which are shredded. After cutting the green pepper into shreds, shake off the peppercorns and sliced garlic.
If you like onions, you can also add some chive segments, and if you like leeks, you can also add leeks.
All the side dishes are put on one plate, and the eel shreds are put on another plate.
Season eel shreds with salt, cooking wine, pepper, and a little cornstarch.
Turn on the heat and put heavy oil in the pot. The first half is vegetable oil. After the vegetable oil is hot, add the other half of the lard.
After the oil temperature rises to 80% hot again, add Sichuan peppercorns, pour in the eel shreds and start stir-frying. The key to this dish is speed, about ten seconds. Add the side dishes, spread them out, and cook for about twenty-five seconds.
Salt the pot.
The key to this dish is to cook it quickly over high heat. The finished dish requires fresh, fragrant, crispy and refreshing eel shreds, with the volatile aroma and mild spiciness of ginger, the crispness and medium spiciness of green peppers, and some
The slight wine aroma can create a very rich taste.
In addition to the method of stir-frying the shredded eels that best reflects the flavor of the ingredients, you can also use a small amount of bean paste and soy sauce to make the gravy and add it to the side dishes. The rest of the techniques are the same as the previous stir-frying method, and the result is soy sauce.
Flavored eel.
Because it was stir-frying over high heat and quickly, the ingredients in the pot could not be put too much. Zhou Zhi divided it four times in total and fried four plates, one for each of the two flavors on each table.
The main dishes are now ready, including tofu curd, chicken soup, braised pork, bacon sausage, roasted duck with konjac, roasted eel with green bamboo shoots, raw shredded eel, stir-fried shredded eel with sauce, and fried chicken and duck.
Coupled with roasted pepper preserved eggs, boiled peanuts, and folded ear root mixed with lettuce, the two-table banquet is already quite impressive.
The wine I drank was Laojiao Touqu brought by Zhou Zhi, which is considered a good wine in today's countryside.
In fact, there are only one or two people who talk unpleasantly, and those kind of people are generally not liked by everyone, they are just invited here for the sake of face.
The remaining neighbors are actually very simple and very nice.
According to the tradition in Jiachuan countryside, women are not allowed to sit on the main table. In fact, in addition to traditional bad habits, there are also practical needs.
For example, after the hard vegetables are cooked, there are other tasks such as stir-frying seasonal vegetables, boiling vegetables, adding stir-fried ear roots, and adding kimchi for bathing. Generally, it is the women at home who take care of the work.
The men in the family now have to be good hosts and accompany the guests to eat and drink well.
But there was no need for it this time. Sister-in-law and Mother Yang were directly pulled to sit at the table where the friends were sitting. As for the work of adding food, Ye Xin took care of it, and Mu Ruyun and Yang He took care of serving the food.
Zhou Zhi's life was miserable, and he was dragged by Old Yangtou to take the seat at the main table.
I don't feel honored at all to be thoughtful in this position. I just feel that my scalp is numb. I might have to die heroically today.
Jiang Shuyi didn't drink, and she roughly knew what the situation would be like. She was holding a bowl and chopsticks, but she couldn't taste the food and looked at the situation on the table over there with worry.
Mu Ruyun comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Zhu Zi's temperament is very sneaky, and he is thick-skinned. When he knows that he is in trouble, he will hide under the table and pretend to be dead. No one can do anything to him."
Hearing what Mu Ruyun said, Jiang Shuyi was really a little angry: "It's so easy, why don't you go?"
"I'm going to go. I'll go as soon as the food is served." Mu Ruyun had a rare moment of silence: "My elbows are different from ours. I have to be a half-child in this family, right?"
Mother Yang, who was not good at words, laughed and said: "It's the same, classmates, they are all the same..."
"It's just that I know my father-in-law well and I know the neighbors, so I invited him to accompany his guests." My sister-in-law also said quickly: "But Ruyun has a saying that is right. We really treat our father-in-law as brothers, and so do our father-in-law and our mother.
I really treat my elbow as my own son."
Although they had only been together for half a day and one night, Mother Yang had already noticed that there was something unusual between Zhuzi and Jiang Shuyi. However, early marriages are still very common in rural areas, so Mother Yang did not feel anything strange at all.
On the contrary, I was quite happy but also a little regretful and worried.
The girls who came this time were very pretty, and their elbows were obviously similar to Miss Jiang's, but my son didn't seem to have a similar relationship with one of the girls.
This is nothing to worry about. Forget it, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. If you can help someone, do it first.
Put a piece of shredded eel into Jiang Shuyi's bowl: "Shuyi, eat your own, don't worry about it. This dish is the specialty of the elbow. Every time you come here, you have to make it for us. You all should try it quickly."
.”
The sister-in-law also turned on the assist mode and said with a smile: "After eating once, as long as he is around, we don't dare to take action anymore. I don't know which girl will be lucky in the future!"
"Me!" Jiang Shuyi blushed and did not dare to interrupt, but Ye Xin on the other side spoke carelessly.
Yang's mother and sister-in-law were both dumbfounded. Are today's girls so proactive? Everyone can tell that Zhuzi likes this girl named Jiang, so...don't we want to play tricks with you, Miss Ye?
But Ye Xin laughed and said: "Of course there are Xinyi and Tingting, we are not allowed to follow someone to enjoy the glory! Isn't that right?"
"Xinxin, please stop making trouble!" Jiang Shuyi looked over there worriedly: "I, we, it's nothing, Zhou Zhi heard it...it's not good..."
Zhang Xinyi knew that Jiang Shuyi had a low reputation: "Xinxin, why don't you hurry up and cook? You made a fuss when Zhou Zhi was taken away just now, and all the cooking work behind was covered."
"We all like to eat stir-fried cabbage with pepper." Mu Ruyun was a little embarrassed about the gaffe she just made, and now she quickly changed the subject: "Let's do this first."
"I can't run away from you." Ye Xin rolled her eyes at Mu Ruyun: "Come in and light the fire!"
…
…
It's one thing to drink at a banquet, but it's another thing to find a topic to talk about.
If people who are not familiar with each other have nothing in common, drinking wine will make them feel awkward.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhi quickly found a good topic - Wang Lao Mao.
Wang Laoyao is now somewhat of a legend in Baimi Township, and there are many details of the story in the mouths of the villagers.
After graduating from junior high school, I heard that this kid got help from relatives in the city and found a job as a cook in a restaurant.
Because he is diligent and quick-witted, in addition to helping in the kitchen, he also takes the initiative to help the waiter when business in the restaurant is good.
It turned out to be both fate and blessing. By chance, I met a big coal boss.
By coincidence, the youngest Wang happened to have a large car driving license. When the coal boss asked the restaurant owner to help find people, the youngest Wang was writing down the menu for the coal boss, and at that time he said something extra.
The restaurant owner also had a waiter and a cook, and Wang Lao Yao had left a very good impression on the restaurant owner on weekdays, so not only did he not obstruct it, he also made a good recommendation to the coal boss.
He was said to be diligent and careful, and he had seen a lot of clever children, but he was also honest and honest, so he was considered rare, so he praised the youngest Wang.
