Chapter 96 Mutton Soup
Jiang Feng fell asleep with deep resentment towards the game.
Early the next morning, Jiang Feng went downstairs to buy a few buns from the bun shop at the entrance of the community for breakfast. He happened to bump into Chen Xiuxiu and Pan Ling who were returning from shopping for vegetables. The two were carrying several bags of vegetables. It looked like they were You have to start cooking for yourself.
"Jiang Feng, come to our place for dinner today!" Pan Ling invited, "Xiuxiu and I watched cooking videos last night and just bought fresh mutton. I'll make mutton soup for you!"
Jiang Feng:...
Should he tell them that cooking is not as simple as you think, and that mutton soup is a recipe for death?
Forget it, as long as they are happy.
"Okay." Jiang Feng said.
Looking at the WeChat group in the morning, Fourth Uncle's beef stew with potatoes yesterday was not good enough and there was still some leftover. Today he bought another three kilograms of beef and continued to stew it. Jiang Feng thought it would be better for him not to eat.
"Pan Pan, I think braised mutton is better." Chen Xiuxiu looked hesitant, "Will the mutton soup be too spicy?"
"No, didn't yesterday's video tutorial teach you how to stew mutton soup without stirring it? Don't worry, the boss who just sold the mutton said that the sheep were prairie sheep and not smelly." Pan Ling was very confident.
"Come on, I'm going to have breakfast first." Jiang Feng encouraged falsely.
Mutton soup is a good daily snack, but there are only a handful of people who can stew it without any odor. It is a family skill that is not passed down to others. Unless the quality of the mutton is particularly good, even the old man will not be able to stew the mutton soup without any odor. . Pan Ling became so confident after watching a video tutorial...
Forget it, the stewed mutton soup will teach him how to behave.
The Baozi shop at the entrance of the community has been open for nearly 20 years. It has been as long-lived as the community. The original boss has grown old and now his daughter takes over. In fact, his daughter's craftsmanship is not as good as his, but the surrounding residents are accustomed to eating their steamed buns in the morning, and their steamed buns are clean, so the taste is not as good as before, which is acceptable.
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the prices of vegetables and meat are getting higher day by day, and the price of steamed buns has also gone up. Just now, Jiang Feng asked the boss that today is the last day of sales, and they have to pack up and go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year in the afternoon.
Okay, tomorrow's breakfast is missing again.
After breakfast, Jiang Feng walked around the community a few times. There are not many people in the community. Most of them have gone back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year. The few old people who have not gone back are now working on the front line of grabbing New Year's goods. They set out early in the morning and will not return with their loot until the evening.
After walking for more than an hour, Jiang Feng saw that the time was almost ten o'clock, so he went directly to Chen Xiuxiu's house instead of going home. These two people who rarely cook on weekdays must be in a hurry when cooking a meal. Maybe the kitchen of Chen Xiuxiu's house is already in a mess.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Xiuxiu opened the door for Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng smelled a suffocating smell before he even entered.
It was a familiar, local sheep, unique and strong smell.
Jiang Jiankang is not very good at cooking mutton dishes, and Comrade Wang Xiulian is also not very good at choosing mutton. When Jiang Feng was still in elementary school, Comrade Wang Xiulian was deceived by a mutton seller and bought local sheep as prairie sheep. The taste of that plate of braised mutton was fresh in Jiang Feng's memory. There was no other taste in his mouth, it was all smell of mutton!
Pan Ling is a stewed mutton soup, which brings out all the mutton flavor.
Rich and long, even if Chen Xiuxiu has opened all the windows at home, it still refuses to dissipate.
Chen Xiuxiu looked hopeless and hid on the balcony after opening the door, unwilling to go near the kitchen. Jiang Feng was also curious about how Pan Ling stewed the mutton soup to this level, so he held his breath and went to the kitchen to have a look.
The kitchen is already in a mess. There are many sand sculpture pictures on the Internet. The kitchen of Chen Xiuxiu's house is as miserable as it is. The bubbling mutton soup is still on the stove. The fire is turned on and the lid is closed. The soup keeps pouring out. .
Pan Ling was still holding her mobile phone and looking at the mutton soup instruction video, puzzled.
"You can turn off the heat, your soup is all out." Jiang Feng gave a friendly reminder.
"No, this soup is too rotten and I haven't gotten rid of the rotten smell yet. This step is correct. Why did I cook it so rotten?" Pan Ling said.
The smell of the kitchen was so strong, it was like entering a sheep pen. Jiang Feng didn't know how Pan Ling could endure it. Maybe it was because of the stew he had brought with him that his sense of smell temporarily failed and he chose not to smell it. But Jiang Feng couldn't bear it anymore. The pot of mutton soup was considered useless, so he stepped forward and turned off the fire.
"It's useless for you to add anything now. You are a local sheep, and the smell is already strong. Even if you pick out all the blood vessels, you may not be able to remove it. Just dump it." Jiang Feng said.
"Local sheep, okay, the boss lied to me again!" Pan Ling was angry, feeling that the sheep's fault was entirely his fault.
Jiang Feng saw a small piece of meat cut off by Pan Ling on the chopping board, picked it up, looked at it, and sighed.
"The mutton you bought was filled with water. You didn't cut it well, and there was no water to remove the blood. This soup..." Jiang Feng sighed again, full of helplessness. The mutton soup in the pot was full of foam, " Let’s empty the toilet. Do you have any perfume that can be sprayed on the toilet? ”
Pan Ling did not give up. After all, she had cooked this pot of mutton soup. Thinking that it might taste good just because of the smell, she took a small spoonful and tasted it.
After taking a mouthful of mutton soup, Pan Ling's face turned green, and he silently took the mutton soup and poured it out.
Pan Ling's kitchen at Chen Xiuxiu's house was made like a biological and chemical weapons laboratory. It was impossible to cook anymore. No matter what they did in it, the smell of mutton would stick to it. The three of them had no choice but to move to Jiang Feng's kitchen and start cooking again. lunch.
Pan Ling and Chen Xiuxiu really don't know how to buy vegetables. They went so early and the vegetables they bought were still not fresh. These two girls were also interesting. They bought garlic and ginger but not onions. They bought a bottle of steamed soy sauce but not fish. Instead, they bought a pound of prawns.
When asked why, Pan Ling said eloquently: "I cook mutton soup, and Xiu Xiu makes open-back shrimp with minced garlic."
Jiang Feng felt that if he hadn't been driven back from the countryside by the old man, the two of them would have poisoned themselves to death by cooking and eating.
He didn't even know how to scramble tomatoes and eggs, so he wanted to challenge the lamb soup and garlic-crusted open-back shrimps, which was even more bloated than Jiang Feng's fried kung pao chicken before he even finished practicing his knife skills.
Jiang Feng has never cooked prawns.
City Z is not close to the sea, and seafood is extremely expensive. When Jiang Feng first went to college, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped when he heard from his classmates who lived near the sea that they had a big plate of abalone for 30 yuan.
But the expensive shrimp must be burned after buying it. Jiang Feng watched the video on Pan Ling's phone twice. The video didn't show how to remove the shrimp line at all. It was an edited video. The soundtrack was good, but many key steps were not edited. In the final product, Jiang Feng could tell through the screen that the prawns were burnt.
Jiang Feng had no choice but to call the old man and ask.
After being scolded by the old man, I deveined the shrimp as the old man said. After a lot of random manipulations, the different-looking open-back shrimp with garlic paste finally came out of the pot.
On the other side, the old man put down his mobile phone, turned around and complained to Jiang Weiming with a smile: "This little bastard wants to fly before he can walk steadily. He stares at the things swimming in the sea before he has even figured out what grows in the ground."
"Okay, I think you are too happy to be happy, so don't show off in front of an old man like me." Jiang Weiming said with a smile, "The day after tomorrow, in the new year, will you wait until your nephews come back to kill the pig?"
"They must be back early in the morning, and we have to prepare breakfast for them." The old man said, "Kill Sanhua the day after tomorrow and make blood sausage first."
"Sanhua? Sanhua isn't big enough. I think Erhua is pretty good. It's thick enough to boil at least 10 pounds of suet." Jiang Weiming liked Erhua more.
"Erhua can't do it. It can't eat anything. It's too fat to be used as a butcher's dish. Sanhua is better. The meat on its hind legs is tight. Leave a piece of cured ham. Erhua will be kept until around the Dragon Boat Festival before slaughtering it. It has to be done. Move it more, otherwise the meat will not be firm enough," the old man murmured, "You have to find an opportunity to get it out of the pig pen and run around more. You can't just lie there all day long to gain weight."
