Chapter 435 Noodles
I made two staple foods, one is the crispy meat pie that An Yunji likes to eat, and the other is the noodles that Lu Qiyan likes to eat.
Xia Mingyue made very homely noodles this time.
Stir-fry chopped peanuts, green onions, diced celery, etc. in a pan. After all the vegetables are cooked, add water and bring to a boil. Add thin hand-rolled noodles. When cooked, pour in the eggs. , flour, vinegar, water to prepare the noodle soup, and finally season with glutinous rice flour and salt.
In order to make this bowl of slurry noodles more delicious, Xia Mingyue added some already cooked five-spice soybeans and a spoonful of chili oil to the bowl after serving the noodles based on Lu Qiyan's usual taste preference.
Lu Qiyan took the noodle bowl, mixed the ingredients in the bowl with chopsticks, and started eating.
The noodles are neither thin nor thick, the noodles are soft and waxy, and the noodle soup is mellow. When eating, you don’t need to use chopsticks to pick the noodles and put them into your mouth. You just put the bowl to your mouth and eat with open mouth.
Take a deep breath and you will find both noodles and noodle soup, with the aroma of peanuts, the freshness of eggs, the freshness of diced celery, the mellowness of soybeans, and the sourness of vinegar in the noodle soup...
It is not as strong as many braised noodles, but it is pleasant in the mouth, like a gentle breeze and drizzle, warm and soft.
It was the first time for Lu Qiyan to eat slurry noodles like this. He felt that they were full of home-cooked flavor. The more he ate, the more he felt his appetite increased, and he scooped up bowl after bowl.
In the end, almost all of the small pot of noodles made by Xia Mingyue ended up in Lu Qiyan's belly.
But even so, Lu Qiyan still felt a little unsatisfied and had to eat some more to satisfy his craving.
The appearance of this big eater really shocked An Yunji who was standing aside.
In the army, he had never seen Lu Qiyan eating, but he had never seen Lu Qiyan eating like this.
The so-called knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing what is inside is probably like this...
An Yunji lamented that Lu Qiyan's appearance was far different from his appetite, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
My brother-in-law has such an appetite and his sister has to bother to feed him. Will he really not annoy his sister?
An Yunji looked at Xia Mingyue subconsciously.
At this time, Xia Mingyue was looking at Lu Qiyan, with a smile on her lips, gentle eyes, and a feeling of relief that was beyond words.
An Yunji, "..."
Misstep!
For a cook, the most favorite thing to see is when others eat all the food she made!
As expected, my brother-in-law is such a sinister person.
Damn it!
An Yunji was filled with resentment and just stuffed the crispy meatloaf into his mouth.
At this time, Wu Jin in the courtyard was enjoying his dinner.
Crispy meatloaf and slurry noodles, one thick and one thin, when paired together, it is simply a delicacy in the world. It can be said that there is no regret in life!
Lu Qiyan and An Yunji each took two days off and only returned to camp on the night of the third day.
Xia Mingyue looked at the time and began to arrange her meals for the two days.
On the first day, we naturally want to feed the fish and meat well.
A piece of Dongpo meat weighs two ounces, is fragrant and delicious, and is soft and glutinous that melts in your mouth.
A whole fried sweet and sour fish with a crispy skin and a rich, sweet and sour sauce.
Never get tired of eating it. The stewed duck with sour radish is so delicious, sour and appetizing and light. The stewed bones are still stained with blood, but the chicken is now tender and delicious. Eat it directly or dip it in the sauce to enjoy the delicious white-cut chicken...
All day long After eating all the chicken, duck and fish, and eating with an open appetite, it is inevitable that you will feel a little bloated. On the second day, you will feel that your appetite is not good and you will not be able to eat too much.
At this time, it is necessary to serve some sour or spicy dishes to fully stimulate people's taste buds, and also to get rid of the chill in the body and feel comfortable in the increasingly chilly late autumn.
So, in the afternoon of the next day, Xia Mingyue began to prepare something to eat hot pot the next day.
Spicy hotpot.
It is obviously different from the light and delicious copper pot shabu, and spicy hot pot needs to eat something new that you don’t have the time and energy to eat on weekdays.
For example, duck intestines, duck blood, tripe...
These things don't seem to be valuable items, but they are quite difficult to obtain because they are difficult to handle and difficult to collect.
Just when Xia Mingyue was worried about whether this spicy hot pot meal could meet her expectations, He Shunzi stood up and beat her chest loudly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Xia, leave this matter to me."< br>
He usually walks between villages and the streets of Changzhou Fucheng. In the past few months, he has become more and more familiar with his surroundings. And this familiarity is not limited to what can be produced where, even Changzhou Fucheng. Every restaurant and restaurant among them knows where they buy their ingredients, what they use and what they don't use.
For example, the eight-treasure duck in Kangfu Restaurant is sold well. The ducks used every day are live ducks that are killed in the morning. From there, you can definitely find enough duck blood and duck intestines.
As for the tripe, it is an object on the body of the cow. Farm cattle cannot be slaughtered easily, but it is inevitable that some will die or be injured. After reporting to the government for registration, they can be slaughtered and eaten. If you inquire about it, you will definitely be very happy. There is gain.
He Shunzi was full of confidence in his connections, and after giving Xia Mingyue a guarantee, he drove the bullock cart out.
Seeing this, Xia Mingyue felt confident and began to stir-fry the hot pot base. The rest of the ordinary ingredients no longer bothered the central kitchen, but handed them over to Honglian to purchase and prepare.
Honglian is also well-informed, and she has quite a lot of experience in this regard.
After receiving the order, Honglian went to the street with a bamboo basket and bought one by one according to the list listed by Xia Mingyue.
First, we went to the mountain goods shop to look for some mountain mushrooms.
Honglian is indeed very discerning in selecting ingredients as Xia Mingyue said. She only picked some bamboo fungus, ox liver, chicken fir, which have unique taste and good cooking taste, and some wild ones that look fleshy and plump. fungus.
In addition, Honglian also specially found some dried bamboo shoots.
Fresh bamboo shoots in spring are shelled and cut into roots, steamed at high temperature, rinsed with water and dried in the sun. Now when eating, soak them for half an hour, then cut them into sections and boil them. The texture is plump and crispy. , full of fragrance.
These things can definitely become the unique items in hot pot, which are fresh and not greasy.
Honglian had a sense of accomplishment and continued to walk around the streets with a half-full bamboo basket, trying to find some rare things at the stalls selling farm dishes.
While walking, Honglian was blocked by someone.
"This is the Red Lotus Lady." The other party had a nice smile and was dressed in blue clothes. It looked like she belonged to a certain family.
Honglian was surprised that the other party knew him, let alone the person in front of him, but he was still polite and said, "I don't know who you are, is there something wrong?"
"My young master I would like to ask Lady Honglian to come over and talk. I would also like to ask Lady Honglian to come upstairs with me." The boy pointed to the teahouse next to him.
Those noodles are a home-cooked meal. Basically, the cooking method is different in every place. This is just the method from the author’s hometown, and may not be the same as what you know~
