Chapter 271 A favor from a meal (3)
Collecting juice and thickening is a technical job. Cao Guixiang first adds seasonings to the pot, then boils the black ginseng and the soup over low heat. After ten minutes, put the black ginseng on a plate and use the dissolved starch. Thicken the gravy with the soup in the pot, pour on the chicken oil, and finally pour it on the black ginseng.
The gravy looks very thick, but when you pour it on the black ginseng, it is very consistent and flows down like water.
Jiang Feng was stunned.
When he looked at Cao Guixiang's movements, what he thought of was the eight-treasure chestnut pigeon.
Sun Guanyun's gravy is also made from soup. Although it doesn't seem to be the same as Cao Guixiang's method, the result is similar.
The grilled black ginseng is out of the pot.
Jiang Feng visually inspected the black ginseng on the plate, which was about a foot long. It was brownish red because of the gravy. It didn't have short thorns like sashimi. It was round and smooth, with black horizontal spots on the skin. Plus, it was big enough. It looks very majestic and majestic, and it is worthy of being the first dish in the banquet.
"Chiyuan, Shao...Shao kid, it's time to eat!" Zhang Chu put the big grilled black ginseng on the table.
There are three dishes on the table, grilled large black ginseng, two-color prawns and steamed seabass. These three dishes could have been called a gluttonous feast when Jiang Feng was in the third year of junior high school, let alone when Zhang Chiyuan was in the third year of junior high school. Zhang Chiyuan looked at My eyes widened.
"Dad, are you rich, or did you win the lottery? Our family has such good food today." Zhang Chiyuan felt that he might be the second generation of rich people. How big of a lottery would his father have to win to buy so many good dishes?
"Our family will be poor after this meal. This meal costs your father and me more than two months' salary. From now on, our family will eat vegetarian food every day. If you don't get into high school, you will always be vegetarian and won't even give you fat sausage." "Zhang Chu went to serve the rice and saw Cao Guixiang still busy in the kitchen and asked: "Honey, aren't the dishes finished? Let's cook the remaining chicken and ham at night. Let's eat first, and wait until the shrimps are cold. .”
"I don't like shrimp, you and Chi Yuan can eat it. There is still some gravy left, so I mixed it in and stir-fried it together." Cao Guixiang said.
Zhang Chu put four bowls of rice on the table and took three pairs of chopsticks and a spoon. Because Xue Shaoheng was still a child, he only served half a bowl of rice.
"You eat the shrimp first, and give one to Shao...Brother Shao, and wait until your mother serves it before eating." Zhang Chu warned, "Don't finish them all, leave some for your sister."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm talking about." Zhang Chiyuan has already eaten.
Two-color prawns are also a famous dish of Tanjia cuisine. One shrimp is eaten in two. The body and head of the shrimp are cooked in two ways. The head of the shrimp is bright red and the body of the shrimp is golden. Zhang Chiyuan bites one by one, with a crunch that leaves a fragrant taste in his mouth.
After eating two, Zhang Chiyuan thought of Xue Shaoheng.
Xue Shaoheng stood nearby and looked at the dishes on the table. He didn't move his chopsticks or move his hands, staring straight at the grilled large black ginseng and two-color prawns.
"It's okay if you don't know how to use chopsticks. Just grab it with your hands. My family doesn't pay attention to this." Zhang Chiyuan said.
Xue Shaoheng did not move.
"You don't like shrimps? Why are you like my mother? Shrimps are so delicious, especially the two-color prawns made by my mother. They are crispy, crispy and fragrant. They also add fat meat and water chestnuts. Not to mention how delicious they are. "Zhang Chiyuan began to brag about Cao Guixiang's cooking skills, "The ones made in other restaurants are not as delicious as those made by my mother!"
Xue Shaoheng still didn't move.
"Forget it, just wait for you to eat sea bass and braised large black ginseng. My mother has made this braised large black ginseng twice before, once for my tenth birthday and once for my sister's birthday. The taste is so delicate and delicious. Nen, don't mention it, you must have never eaten such delicious food." Although Xue Shaoheng didn't speak, it didn't stop Zhang Chiyuan from speaking.
"Big..." Xue Shaoheng looked at the big black ginseng.
"What's big? It's a big grilled black ginseng." Zhang Chiyuan said.
"Big black ginseng." Xue Shaoheng said.
"Grill the big black ginseng." Zhang Chiyuan corrected.
"Big black ginseng." Xue Shaoheng said.
"Forget it, it's almost the same. Big black ginseng is big black ginseng. Mom, what are you frying? It's so fragrant." Zhang Chiyuan started to rush into the kitchen.
"Go out, I've already cooked it. Why are you coming in? Ham and roasted chicken. You won't eat this with so many dishes at noon today. Go and eat quickly. The dishes will be cold by the time." Cao Guixiang was cooking the ham. The chicken came out, and the ham-roasted chicken was mixed with scallops.
Jiang Feng, who witnessed the whole process of roasting chicken, said that it may not be a coincidence that Cao Guixiang can cook an A-level dish like Yun chicken casually. The middle-aged version of Cao Guixiang is already very good at cooking dishes casually. The strange combination of chicken, ham, scallops, and remaining gravy made Jiang Feng drool when he smelled the roasted chicken with ham.
Jiang Feng was not the only one who wanted to drool. Zhang Chiyuan also found Cao Guixiang's roast chicken with ham very tempting.
"Mom, your ham and roast chicken smells pretty good, let me try a piece!" Zhang Chiyuan followed Cao Guixiang back to the dining table and eagerly picked up a piece of chicken.
"Well, it's delicious!" Zhang Chiyuan said with an exaggerated expression.
"I just know how to eat. Have you eaten, Brother Shao?" Cao Guixiang also called Xue Shaoheng Brother Shao according to Zhang Chu's call.
"I told him to eat but he didn't, probably because he doesn't like shrimp." Zhang Chiyuan said.
Everyone sat down and started eating.
Xue Shaoheng only used a spoon to pick up the rice the whole time and didn't eat any vegetables. When Cao Guixiang wanted to pick up food for him, he silently moved the bowl away and refused to take it.
"Why does this child only eat food but not vegetables?" Cao Guixiang wondered.
"Are you embarrassed? Or are you afraid of life?" Zhang Chu guessed.
"Maybe it's because I can't eat it. I heard from my classmates that some people can't eat vegetables and will die if they eat them!" Zhang Chiyuan began to believe it and spread the rumors.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've only seen people starving to death, but I haven't seen people eating vegetables to death. I don't study hard all day long and just listen to other people's nonsense." Cao Guixiang took out a handkerchief from the cabinet and picked up a few shrimps. Wrap it up in a handkerchief and stuff the handkerchief into Xue Shaoheng's pocket.
"Your dad may be right, I'm just afraid of life when I look at my child." Cao Guixiang said.
Zhang Chiyuan didn't pay attention, and took a pair of chopsticks to chop the big black ginseng: "Mom, I think your grilled big black ginseng this time was not as good as last time."
"Your father bought the black ginseng. If he didn't buy it well, you go find him." Cao Guixiang began to blame the blame. "You eat more black ginseng. It's specially made for you. Sea cucumbers are nutritious. You will pass the exam soon. Eat more." Replenish your brain and score more points.”
"Mom, walnuts are good for the brain."
"Then go and eat walnuts."
……
The Zhang family finished their lunch while laughing and playing. Xue Shaoheng only ate white rice the whole time and didn't taste a bite of food.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Chu went to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, he sent Xue Shaoheng to the nearby police station. Cao Guixiang saw the art homework that Zhang Chiyuan threw on the table. She picked it up and saw that there was an ugly deformed cup on the paper.
Zhang Chiyuan looked disgusted with Cao Guixiang, and argued unconvincingly: "My painting is already very good. Most people can't paint like this."
"Come on, any kid can draw better than you." Cao Guixiang didn't believe Zhang Chiyuan's lies.
"Nonsense, brother Shao, you come and draw." Zhang Chiyuan pushed the pencil to Xue Shaoheng.
Xue Shaoheng looked at the drawing paper on the table.
Cao Guixiang smiled helplessly.
Xue Shaoheng picked up the pen and drew a stroke on the drawing paper.
Two strokes, three strokes.
The lines were straight and smooth, without any hesitation. Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chiyuan didn't pay much attention to it. Jiang Feng looked at it with eyes wide open.
Every engineering dog who wants to learn mechanical drawing knows how difficult it is to make drawings by hand.
No matter how you measure with a set square or draw with a compass, the errors are always there. The last few strokes will never connect, and each step will be wrong. It takes a whole day to draw a flat plan, but at the end of the drawing, you will find that there are all errors.
Young hero, please start over from the beginning.
The teacup that Xue Shaoheng is currently painting seems to Jiang Feng to be an alternative three-dimensional view.
The meat is basically a 1:1 restoration. What it looks like on the table is what he draws on the paper. It's the same size, the same pattern, and the same pattern.
Gods are nothing more than that.
Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chiyuan didn't realize how special Xue Shaoheng's paintings were. They just sighed while watching his paintings.
"The painting looks really similar." Cao Guixiang sighed.
Zhang Chiyuan was speechless.
"What does it look like?" Zhang Chu came out of the kitchen washing dishes.
"Come and take a look, this painting is exactly like our tea cup!" Cao Guixiang called Zhang Chu to come over and see the immortal.
Zhang Chu took a closer look and was also stunned: "It's so similar, exactly the same. This kid can be a painter in the future!"
A teacup is not that complicated. Xue Shaoheng has already finished drawing and stopped writing.
"Child Shao, uncle, please take you to find your parents and take you home." Zhang Chu held Xue Shaoheng's hand.
"Home." Xue Shaoheng murmured, walking towards the door, trying to open the door.
"Home."
Xue Shaoheng is going home, otherwise his sister will have to wait impatiently.
Zhang Chu looked at Xue Shaoheng with some confusion and boldly guessed: "Did he remember the way home?"
"Home."
"Sister."
"Home."
Xue Shaoheng was a little anxious. The door of Zhang Chu's house was different from his. He couldn't open the door.
"It seems true that you brought someone's child back without even knowing the situation. His parents will be very anxious later." Cao Guixiang stood up from the sofa after rubbing it, "You stay at home. He is really unreliable, so I will follow him.”
Zhang Chu also knew that what he did was unreliable: "Then be careful. If he can't find his way, send him to the police station ahead."
"You don't have to say it." Cao Guixiang opened the door and led Xue Shaoheng out.
Xue Shaoheng took Cao Guixiang and walked to his home. He first returned to the park and then walked through the park to his home.
Cao Guixiang accompanied Xue Shaoheng to the downstairs of his house. Aunt Liu, who lived opposite Xue Shaoheng, was downstairs. When she saw Xue Shaoheng, she shouted in a loud voice: "Xue Hua, Xue Hua, don't look for anything." Went to the police station, your brother is back.”
Cao Guixiang asked: "Do you know this child?"
"We know you. You live right across from my house." Aunt Liu said, "It's you who..."
"Shao Heng, Shao Heng!" Before Aunt Liu could finish her words, Xue Hua's scream came from upstairs.
When Cao Guixiang saw that Xue Shaoheng had indeed arrived home and her family members had come down, she felt relieved and turned around to leave.
Xue Hua rushed downstairs, holding her household registration book in her hand. She was happy and angry when she saw Xue Shaoheng. She wanted to scold him but didn't know how.
"Where have you gone? Didn't I tell you not to run around? It's very dangerous outside!" Xue Hua almost cried.
"It'll be fine when you're back. Your Shao Heng is like this, and you can't even scold him. Just now, a kind person sent him back, and it was... Hey, why did he leave? Your Shao Heng was raped by someone like me. A woman of about the same age sent him back. It's really strange that your Shao Heng couldn't even explain how that person sent him back." Aunt Liu turned around and found that Cao Guixiang had left.
"Flower." Xue Shaoheng said.
"Shao Heng wants flowers?" Xue Hua asked.
Xue Shaoheng nodded, then shook his head: "Flower."
Seeing that Xue Hua still didn't understand, Xue Shaoheng simply gave up telling her what he was doing. He took out the handkerchief that Cao Guixiang had put into his pocket during the meal and handed it to Xue Hua.
Xuehua fruit handkerchief, open it, there are two two-color prawns.
Two shrimp heads, two shrimp bodies.
"Did the person who just sent you back give this to you?" Xue Hua asked.
"Eat." Xue Shaoheng asked Xue Hua to eat shrimp.
"Sister doesn't like shrimps, so Shao Heng eats them," Xue Hua said.
"Eat."
"Big black ginseng."
"Big black ginseng?"
"Big black ginseng."
Xue Hua smiled and took Xue Shaoheng's hand and led him upstairs.
"Shao Heng, you can't run around anymore. How did you come back today? Did you tell the aunt who sent you back where we live?" Xue Hua asked.
"Big black ginseng." Xue Shaoheng kept repeating the three words "big black ginseng".
Xue Hua probably understood that Xue Shaoheng meant to let her eat the shrimp, and said: "Sister doesn't want to eat, come on, Shao Heng opens your mouth, and sister will feed you."
Xue Shaoheng opened his mouth obediently.
A shrimp is in its belly.
Jiang Feng left his memory. (End of chapter)
