Chapter 165 Because of Love (1)
Wang Hao went to bed early. Jiang Feng turned off the lights and went to bed after washing up. He clicked on the properties panel and watched Li Hongzhang's chowder recipe twice.
If he wasn't preparing for a competition, Jiang Feng would definitely practice this dish as soon as possible.
This kind of famous dish with unlimited possibilities for presentation, beautiful and delicious, and difficult to spread its reputation far and wide is simply Jiang Feng's favorite.
After watching the production process twice with pleasure, Jiang Feng reluctantly closed the menu and opened the prop bar.
A memory of Zhang Zhiyun.
Jiang Feng felt that he couldn't control his hands.
What a thought!
After clicking "Yes" very carefully, Jiang Feng found himself in a private residence.
It is a very ordinary house. It can be seen that although the residents are not rich, they love this home very much. The various furniture and furnishings are full of warmth. There are small light yellow flowers blooming in the plastic flower pots on the windowsill, and the green radish on the cabinet. The old but clean carpet, the wooden floor with some scratches and scratches scattered with building blocks, the children's bedtime books on the coffee table, and the toy man with a missing foot on the sofa all showed that there was at least one child in the home.
Jiang Feng had a large range of activities and could go directly through walls and doors. He looked around the house and found no one.
No one?
Jiang Feng was shocked. What kind of magical memory was this? The memory of a house? Why is there no one there?
After walking around the house again, he still saw no one, not even a sound. Jiang Feng was just wondering when he heard the door open.
An old woman with gray hair who looked to be in her sixties came in carrying vegetables. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted: "Yunyun, Yunyun, grandma is back!"
No one responded.
Zhang Zhiyun's grandma put two big bags of vegetables into the kitchen and started looking for people from room to room.
"Yunyun, Yunyun, grandma will roast chicken for you at noon today. Can you make roasted chicken with chestnuts?"
Jiang Feng followed Zhang Zhiyun's grandmother all the way and found the young version of Zhang Zhiyun hiding under the bed, shrinking like a caterpillar and refusing to speak and silently resisting.
"Yunyun, don't lie under the bed. The floor is so cold. If you get sick, grandma will have to take you to the hospital. The nurse sister will use a needle to prick your butt into a sieve." Grandma Zhang Zhiyun threatened.
The threat of having his butt pierced into a sieve was obviously very effective. Zhang Zhiyun stepped out from under the bed. He was not even taller than Jiang Feng's waist, but he pretended to be serious and said angrily: "Comrade Cao Guixiang, I'm very disappointed in you."
The bed under the bed hadn't been cleaned for an unknown amount of time. It was full of dust. Zhang Zhiyun's clothes and pants were all stained on his hands and face. Cao Guixiang picked him up and said with a smile: "Cao Guixiang accepts Comrade Zhang Zhiyun's instructions."
Without giving Zhang Zhiyun a chance to give instructions, Cao Guixiang took him to the toilet, wiped his hands and face with a towel, and gave him a change of clothes.
Jiang Feng said, a bare-butt child wearing only underpants, tusk.
The naked kid Zhang Zhiyun, who had put on new clothes, had no idea that Jiang Feng had seen through everything, and still angrily accused Cao Guixiang.
"Comrade Cao Guixiang, the day before yesterday I said I didn't want to eat dry-fried beef river, but you still made me dry-fried beef river yesterday morning. I said again last night that I didn't want to eat dry-fried beef river, but you still cooked it this morning. Chao Niuhe, you obviously agreed to take me out for morning tea!”
Sound and well-founded.
"It's not that your grandpa insists on eating dry-fried beef river. You can instruct him when your grandpa comes back." Cao Guixiang successfully dumped the pot and turned to the kitchen to prepare for cooking. Zhang Zhiyun was like a little tail Followed behind in a hurry.
"Ah, ah, I want to eat General Tso's chicken!" Zhang Zhiyun ordered.
Cao Guixiang paused while washing the vegetables and asked: "Comrade Zhang Zhiyun, why do you want to eat this today?"
"I just watched it on TV. It's beautiful. It's as shiny as amber and looks delicious!" Zhang Zhiyun raised his head proudly, looking like he was about to praise me, "It's said on TV Yes, foreigners abroad love it, it must be delicious!”
"General Tso's chicken is sweet and sour, even spicier than the potato chips you ate yesterday. Can I make chestnut roast chicken for you?" Cao Guixiang asked.
Zhang Zhiyun hesitated for a moment, but persisted: "Well, why don't you cook it spicy for me!"
"If it's not spicy, it's not General Tso's chicken." Cao Guixiang said.
"No, no, no, I want to eat General Zuo's chicken!" Zhang Zhiyun almost burst into tears when Cao Guixiang teased her like this. Seeing that Cao Guixiang was concentrating on washing vegetables and ignoring him, Zhang Zhiyun tentatively tugged at the corner of her clothes with a look on her face. Let's discuss it.
"Can you just add a little more spiciness, a little more spiciness, just a little bit like this." Zhang Zhiyun stretched out his little hand, trying hard to express what he meant.
Cao Guixiang shook the washed leeks in the water, took out the killed chicken from the bag, and said: "Okay, just add a little spicy. Comrade Zhang Zhiyun, please go and get a bag of starch for Comrade Cao Guixiang now." Come and choose this pot of beans.”
"Comrade Zhang Zhiyun accepts the instructions!" Zhang Zhiyun was successfully escorted away by Cao Guixiang.
General Zuo's Chicken, also known as Zuo Gong's Chicken, Zuo's Chicken and Zuo's Chicken, is a famous Han Chinese dish in Hunan cuisine. The main ingredient is chicken. It is one of the most famous flower-growing dishes recognized by Americans. Although it is named after Zuo Zongtang, a famous general in southern Hunan, in fact it has little connection with him. The cuisine cooked is Hunan cuisine on the surface, Huaiyang cuisine at its foundation, and Lingnan cuisine in technique. Coupled with the founder's own thoughts and creativity, if we really want to count, it can even be regarded as Tan's cuisine.
The main ingredient of Zuo Zongtang's chicken is chicken leg meat. Cao Guixiang put the chicken on the chopping board, cut off two chicken legs with two knives, peeled the skin, removed the bones, removed the tendons and removed the blood vessels. The technique was very smooth, flowing and flowing, and her knife skills were excellent.
The deboned chicken was spread out and soaked in water to soak out the remaining blood in the meat. Cao Guixiang left it alone and let it soak in the water while processing other parts of the chicken. After the whole chicken was cooked, Cao Guixiang looked at the chicken legs in the basin, changed the water, and turned to chopping vegetables.
Cao Guixiang's technique of cutting edges, dicing, slicing and slicing various ingredients is very professional and clean. You can tell at a glance that he is a professional chef with superb skills. If every housewife could have cooking skills like Cao Guixiang, the chefs in the back kitchens of major hotels across the country would be squeezed out of the kitchen by mothers and grandmothers.
"Ah, ah, I've made my choice." Zhang Zhiyun ran into the kitchen carrying a pot of beans of different lengths.
"Yunyun is awesome!" Cao Guixiang praised and handed him the rice cooker liner, "Here, help me wash the rice and fill four and a half buckets."
Zhang Zhiyun grabbed the inner bag with both hands and went to wash rice obediently.
After processing the vegetables, Cao Guixiang put them aside first, took the chicken legs that had been soaked in water for a long time and completely removed the blood, took them to the cutting board, cut them into shallow diagonal cuts, and then cut them into regular pieces. Beat the eggs, leaving only the egg whites, and lightly marinate the chicken legs with salt, egg whites, and starch to enhance the flavor.
Taking advantage of this moment, Cao Guixiang started making chestnut roast chicken.
Chestnut roast chicken is an ordinary home-cooked dish. As soon as the oil was heated and the ingredients were added to the pot, Zhang Zhiyun's grandfather came back.
The old man in his sixties or seventies has a very desolate top of his head, and his few stubborn hairs are plastered with mousse on his scalp in an attempt to cover up all this. Slightly fat, but with a very conspicuous beer belly. Wearing a black plaid shirt and cotton mid-length pants, he walked into the house with a leisurely expression.
"Hey, Yunyun is helping me wash the rice!" Grandpa Zhang Zhiyun said in surprise, "You are so obedient today. It seems that you have prepared some delicious food for you."
"Comrade Zhang Chu, I am now very formally informing you that tomorrow we are going to have morning tea with you. You didn't eat fried beef!" Zhang Zhiyun held up the inner pot with a stern look on his face.
"Okay, okay, grandpa is going out to eat fried beef." Zhang Chu went to the cabinet and took out a wooden comb like a brush, and began to comb the few hairs on his head.
"Swish, brush, brush."
All the way into the kitchen.
"Hey, let's eat roasted chicken with chestnuts today!" Zhang Chu poked his head in the kitchen to see what he was going to eat today, "Why is there still meat that I haven't put in?"
"Yunyun wants to eat Zuo Zongtang's chicken." Cao Guixiang turned around and saw Zhang Chu combing his hair with a comb again, and said with disgust: "I know how to comb it every day. I really thought I could remove those two hairs on your head." Comb it out!”
"It's useful. Look, didn't it grow a little?" Zhang Chu lowered his head and pointed his head at Cao Guixiang. "Look, didn't it grow a few? It was bought for me by my dear daughter-in-law. A comb can grow hair.”
"Come on, I think she learned from you. She wastes money every day. She actually bought you a comb for more than 100 yuan. You didn't even check whether the few hairs on your head are worth the price. You don't want to help. Just don't wander around here, it's an eyesore." Cao Guixiang started to chase people away.
Zhang Chu stayed in the kitchen with a playful smile and began to show off his today's achievements to Cao Guixiang: "Today I was in the park and fought with Old Man Zheng for 300 times. There were so many people watching! What do you think happened in the end? Hehe, Old man Zheng is still defeated by my general. The defeated general is the defeated general, so there is no chance of turning over!”
"Two stinky chess baskets." Cao Guixiang laughed and changed the pot into a casserole to stew chestnut roast chicken. "Wash the pot."
"Okay." Zhang Chu obediently started washing the pot.
Cao Guixiang started to mix the seasonings of General Zuo's chicken. Zhang Chu was washing the pot and watching it, and asked: "Isn't this General Zuo's chicken a famous dish of your senior brother's? Can you also do it?"
"No." Cao Guixiang added a spoonful of white vinegar, "You forgot when we left Peiping, how could I."
"Then what do you do?" Zhang Chu became curious.
"Just make it whatever you want, Yunyun can still taste the authentic one." Cao Guixiang said, "Besides, the dish is spicy, and he can't eat the authentic one. Just make it a little more similar, sour and sweet. You can cook it." Clean it up, keep an eye on it, don’t turn on the water so much, the water fee is free, you won’t be able to clean it and it will smell later.”
Jiang Feng, who witnessed all this with his own eyes:...
Cao Guixiang's words "just do whatever you want" reminded him a lot.
Comrade Jiang Jiankang fooled him like this back then!
