Chapter 164 Ban'er
Smiling and nodding to Yang He to show that he handled it well, Zhou Zhi retreated to the kitchen and started cooking the last hard dish - raw and fried shredded 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 ginger and green pepper, both of which are shredded. Among them, after cutting the green pepper into shreds, shake off the pepper rice and garlic slices.
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.
Bring heavy heat to the pot and add heavy oil. 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. Pour in the side dishes, spread them out, and stir-fry. Add salt and cook in about 25 seconds.
The key to this dish is to cook it quickly and quickly. The finished product requires the eel shreds to be fresh, fragrant, crispy and refreshing, combined with the volatile aroma and mild spiciness of the ginger, the crispness and medium spiciness of the green pepper, and some The slight wine aroma can create a very rich taste.
In addition to this method that best reflects the umami 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 methods are the same as the previous stir-frying method. , what comes out is the sauce-fried shredded eel.
Because it is stir-frying over high heat and quickly, you cannot put too much of the ingredients in the pot. Zhou Zhi divided it four times in total and fried four plates, one for each of the two flavors on each table.
The big dishes are all here, 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 stir-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 he drank was the Laojiao Touqu brought by Zhou Zhi, which is considered a good wine in today's countryside.
Actually, there are only one or two people who talk annoyingly, 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.
It is a tradition in Jiachuan countryside that women are not allowed to sit at the main table. In fact, in addition to traditional bad habits, there are also practical needs.
For example, after the hard vegetables, there are stir-fried seasonal vegetables, stir-frying vegetables, adding stir-fried ear roots, and adding kimchi for bathing. These tasks are usually done by women at home.
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 of the friends. As for the work of adding food, Ye Xin, Mu Ruyun and Yang He were in charge of it. vegetable.
Zhou Zhi's life was miserable, and he was dragged by Lao Yangtou to take the seat at the main table.
This position of thoughtfulness does not feel glorious at all. I just feel that my scalp is numb. I may 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 didn't know how to eat, and looked at the situation on the table over there worriedly.
Mu Ruyun comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Zhu Zi's temperament is very sneaky and slippery. He is thick-skinned. When he knows that he is dying, he will hide under the table and pretend to be dead. No one can do anything to him."
Hearing Mu Ruyun say this, Jiang Shuyi was really a little angry: "You said it so easily, why don't you go?"
"Go, as soon as the food is served." Mu Ruyun had a rare moment of silence: "Elbows are different from ours. At home we have to I am a half-child, am I an aunt?"
Mother Yang was not good at words, and she laughed and said: "It's the same, classmates, they are all the same..." "It's just that I am familiar with my father-in-law and the neighbors. I know him too, for my father-in-law "I brought you over to accompany the guests." The sister-in-law also said quickly: "But Ruyun is right in saying that we really treat our brothers as brothers, and our father-in-law and mother also treat our brothers as our own children."
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 all beautiful, and their elbows were obviously similar to Miss Jiang, 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 eats his own, don't worry about it. This dish is the specialty of the elbow. Every time he comes, he makes 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 it once, as long as he is around, we don't know which girl will dare to do it in the future. Enjoy it!”
"Me!" Jiang Shuyi blushed and did not dare to interrupt, but Ye Xin on the other side spoke carelessly.
Mother Yang and sister-in-law were both dumbfounded. Are all girls today so proactive? Everyone can see that Zhu Zi likes this girl named Jiang, so...are we not going to play tricks with you, Miss Ye?
But I heard Ye Xin smile and say: "Of course there are Xinyi and Tingting, we are not allowed to follow someone to enjoy the glory! Isn't that right?"
"Xinxin, don't make trouble. !" Jiang Shuyi looked over there worriedly: "I, we, it's nothing. , Zhou Zhi heard it... bad..."
Zhang Xinyi knew that Jiang Shuyi had a low reputation: "Xinxin, why don't you go cook quickly? You were making a fuss when Zhou Zhi was taken away just now. What did you say? All the cooking work behind was taken care of.”
"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 either. "Ye Xin rolled her eyes at Mu Ruyun: "Come in and light the fire!"
...
...
Drinking at a banquet is one thing. It's another thing to talk about the Dragon Gate Formation.
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.
The youngest Wang is now a bit 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 discerning, in addition to helping in the kitchen, when business in the restaurant is good, he also takes the initiative to help the waiter.
It turned out to be both fate and blessing. By chance, I met a big coal boss.
As luck would have it, 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 he said something extra at that time.
The restaurant owner also has a waiter and a cook, and Wang Laoyao has left a very good impression on the restaurant owner on weekdays, so instead of obstructing him, he also made a good recommendation to the coal boss.
He was said to be diligent and careful, and he saw a lot of smart children, but he was also honest and honest, so he was very rare, so he praised the youngest Wang.
That’s it.
