Chapter 1011 Satisfaction
For example, when choosing meat, you usually choose several types. The steamed pork made by my uncle usually chooses more than three types, such as sausage, pork ribs, and pork belly; or beef, mutton, and pork belly.
We also pay attention to the taste of each ingredient. In addition to using salt, soy sauce, sugar, green onion and ginger water, pepper and glutinous rice must be added separately for the sausage; Sichuan flavor must be added for the ribs and pork belly separately. Red bean curd and douban.
Douban requires 40% new Douban and 60% old Douban, so that the cooked meat will be fragrant.
Rice noodles are also particular. Glutinous rice and rice need to be combined in proportion to make it sticky but not greasy. The crushed particles must also be thick or fine, and they must be fried with spices until slightly golden before crushing. The powder produced in this way is fragrant.
To make the steamed pork moist and not watery or dry, when mixing ingredients like pork ribs with rice noodles, use vegetable oil that has been fried and allowed to cool.
Pork belly and fat intestines are rich in fat and can be omitted.
There are many base dishes to choose from, mainly starches and beans, such as potatoes, taro, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, peas, green beans, etc. There are usually several kinds.
Then we get the steaming temperature.
My uncle has a rather picky personality. If he doesn’t do anything, he will do it delicately. Everything from fishing rods to fitness swords is like this. He also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder in cooking.
Even if he takes the initiative to attack you, he will find you annoying. Just wait and eat.
So steamed pork with rice flour is very complicated for my uncle, and I don’t know how to make this dish.
But paired with the garlic sauce, it tastes really good. Zhou Zhi even thinks that this dish from Lao Xu’s family has surpassed the level of steamed pork with lotus leaves and rice flour in Rongyuan Garden.
But it’s probably unnecessary to ask Li Laosan to carefully taste the dishes. Today is mainly to make a good impression.
Fortunately, after two glasses of wine and greetings, Li Laosan felt that his father-in-law and his mother-in-law were very amiable, and there was no such thing as the prejudice mentioned on the elbow road.
Especially the third wife, she is really full of curiosity about this Hong Kong son-in-law. When An Xin was still innocent and romantic in the technical school, she was so worried about being a mother that she almost died of worry.
Even in Mistress San’s most exaggerated thoughts, she never imagined that one day An Xin would bring back a Hong Kong uncle.
Actually, the third concubine does not attach too much importance to her uncle’s wealthy background. Instead, she worries whether her daughter will be looked down upon if she finds such a family, and whether she will be forced to accommodate her husband’s family.
After all, this is a family that broadcasts every now and then.
Now I feel quietly relieved. I can't pretend to be at ease between the two children. An Xin has not been wronged there.
So the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more interesting he became.
In fact, the person who is most familiar with Li Laosan and Xu Anxin's situation in the past two years is Zhou Zhi.
Sometimes Xu Anxin wants to find someone to complain to. If he calls his family, he is afraid that they will misunderstand him. He is worried too much.
This kind of situation is unlikely to happen with Zhou Zhi, because after Zhou Zhi hangs up the phone, he will immediately call Li Laosan to ask about the situation, and then you will find that most of the time, cousin An An is making trouble unreasonably, or simply Just acting coquettishly.
Then Zhou Zhi and Li Laosan had no choice but to express their feelings to each other. It turns out that women who can act coquettishly are the best, and they advised each other to be patient.
One was afraid that her cousin would not be able to get married, and the other felt that it was not good for her daughter-in-law to harass her younger brother. She was also afraid that it would delay Zhou Zhi's studies. The key point was that neither of them dared to stop Xu Anxin from doing this, and they did not dare to mention it in front of her. , they could only apologize to each other for a woman, and actually established a magical friendship in this way.
Not even cousin An An knows about these things, so the person at the table who is most at ease with Li Laosan is Zhou Zhi.
As a result, while others were questioning Jack Li curiously, Zhou Zhi opened his belly and feasted.
But this makes cousin An An very angry. I asked you to come here to assist me. Now you are eating there for me conscientiously? ! I couldn't help but said angrily: "Elbow!"
"Ah what?" Zhou Zhi was startled.
“Nothing!” Cousin An An fiercely stuffed a piece of pork belly into Zhou Zhi’s porridge: “Eat!”
Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded, the steamed rice noodles in Jiachuan are served with garlic and coriander. The plate is just porridge, but the steamed pork belly with five-flower powder is stuffed directly into the porridge. When the noodles are exposed to water, it turns into a soft piece of fat meat. How can you eat it?
"Why are you still bullying your younger brother?" My uncle liked Zhou Zhi the most and couldn't stand it anymore.
"Brother Li San, are you still used to eating it?" Food is a common topic of mankind forever. We must cut into nature and relax carefully. By the way, we call Li Laosan according to the mainland custom: "Actually, steamed vegetables in Cantonese cuisine are also A lot, right?”
"It's delicious. It's a bit like a combination of soy sauce pork ribs and pearl pork ribs, but the flavor is richer."
"Is your book about to be translated soon?" my uncle asked.
"The translation has been completed." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "I thought Fu Xia would be very busy when she arrived at CCTV, but it turned out that was not the case at all. It was a pure waste of national food and there were a lot of events to cover."
“It’s just inconvenient to check the information, okay Give me a good life."
"Fu Xia is now quite famous in Hong Kong." Li Laosan nodded and said, "She has also become an outstanding alumni. Mr. Cai was very satisfied after reading the translation. I am going to give her my novel about Cantonese cuisine to translate.”
"This makes you a cultural person." Zhou Zhi nodded.
"Of course she must be considered a cultural person." Sanjia said: "Her deeds were broadcast on TV, and the official classification said that she was an envoy of cultural exchanges between the two countries."
"She That’s nothing,” Zhou Zhi said, “Cousin An Ran and Cousin An Xin. As for the official definition, one is a young leader of a technologically innovative enterprise, and the other is a trendsetter in exploring the international market."
My uncle lost his temper when he said this, because that is what the official said, and he guards it every day. The uncle who watched it on the hookup couldn't deny it.
I could only say vaguely: "We still have to be like an elbow and learn more..."
This was the end of the conversation, and Zhou Zhi immediately waved his hand: "How can you do the same as me? Here, including me, we have to learn more from Third Brother."
"Oh?" Uncle asked Said: "There have been some introductions about Xiao Li in China. It seems that he went to school in London?"
"Yes," Mr. Li San said: "I completed the BSC in Management with Marketing at Oxford, the MSC in Finance with Risk Management at Bath College, and also studied the Full-time MBA."
A bunch of half-Chinese and half-foreign nouns confused everyone, and Li Laosan really didn’t know how to translate similar professional terms in the mainland, so he had to explain carefully: "Bath School of Management is the best business school in the world. One of the colleges. The third brother first completed his undergraduate degree in marketing management at Oxford University and then completed his undergraduate degree at Bath Business School. A master's degree in finance and risk management, and a full-time master's degree in business administration."
"Two master's degrees?" My uncle couldn't help but be in awe, and then thought of something: "Eh. No, it seems that the news once again said that some foreign college gave you a professor?”
"Which one is honorary?" Li Laosan said with a smile: "Every year they lobby the alumni. I was really annoyed so I donated a sum of money, and they gave me an honorary one without counting."
"That's great..." The third concubine was very satisfied with this son-in-law: "What's wrong with you, An Xin? Give Xiao Li some food!"
Xu An Xin just said Rolling his eyes: "Mom, you have taught us since childhood to be independent and self-reliant, but I have never seen you pick up food for dad."
"I can't serve someone as picky as him." Sanma complained. I asked my husband, and then said: "Finance, risk management and business administration, what are you studying?"
