Chapter 455 Zhajiang (Happy 70th birthday to motherland!)
Jiang Feng also knew that the excuse he just made seemed a bit lame, so he forcibly changed the topic. Adhering to the principle that as long as I change the topic quickly enough, you will not be able to expose my lame excuse, he started chatting awkwardly with Zhang Guanghang.
"Lao Zhang, do you have any new dishes to serve on the 23rd of this month? It's the food tasting day soon. I see that you haven't practiced any dishes alone recently." Jiang Feng looked at Zhang Guanghang.
Zhang Guanghang, who was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone, put down his mobile phone and revealed the handsome man's surprise: "Actually, I practice occasionally, but I don't have much inspiration or ideas, so I don't have any specific practice direction, and there is nothing I particularly want to learn, so Just…no.”
Zhang Guanghang looked down at his phone again, obviously obsessed with the comic he just read, and then looked at Jiang Feng: "It's normal for me. People like you want to learn new dishes every few days. Learning is the most useful." Progress, actually..."
"That's not normal."
Jiang Feng:...
Okay, I'm cheating, shut up.
Zhang Guanghang just talked to death in order to continue reading comics.
Wu Minqi had no intention of pursuing Jiang Feng's clumsy lie just now, and lowered her head to play with her mobile phone. In today's society, there is nothing more attractive than a mobile phone. Sometimes you want to hack your boyfriend to death, but the mobile phone will not do that. It will only commit suicide.
Today Ji Xia doesn't have to go to Li's house to help and can stay in Tai Feng Building all day. Jiang Feng is a little worried about letting her stay alone with the freezer. This is undoubtedly a rat entering the granary. He suspects that Ji Xia is already drinking the second bottle. Or the third bottle of Coke.
As the actual breeder of Dahua, Chen Suhua has already established a deep relationship with Dahua. But during this time, Jiang Feng and Ji Xia took over the important task of cooking staple food, resulting in Chen Suhua not making pig food for Dahua for a long time. This gave her a sense of crisis, making her feel that her most intimate position with Dahua was about to be taken away by Ji Xia.
Now when Dahua sees Ji Xia, she can yell at her. Only Chen Suhua, not even Jiang Feng, had such treatment before.
Dahua never screams when she sees him.
So Chen Suhua decided that Jiang Feng and Ji Xia would be responsible for Dahua's meals from Monday to Friday, but she had to do the weekend meals.
She wants to take back her position as number one breeder.
Therefore, Ji Xia lost his job.
Look, there is competition for jobs these days to cook pig food.
Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi said something and went downstairs. Ji Xia was holding a can of grape-flavored Fanta. Jiang Feng looked at the trash can not far away. There was already a Coke can and a Sprite can in it.
"Xia Xia, didn't I say you can only drink one bottle? Drinking too much carbonated drinks is bad for your teeth. Filling a tooth is very expensive now!" Jiang Feng tried to use money to threaten Ji Xia.
"Master, you said I can only drink one bottle of Coke, but I only drank one bottle of Coke!" Ji Xia's expression remained unchanged as he continued to drink grape-flavored Fanta, racing against time.
Jiang Feng:...
If you put your smart little brain to study, let alone high school, you even got into Wharton.
Jiang Feng snatched the Coke from Ji Xia's hand and shook it. There was about two or three mouthfuls left: "You are not allowed to drink carbonated drinks tomorrow. Look at how much you have drank in the past few days. You can only drink freshly squeezed juice." , you have to drink it yourself.”
"Oh." Ji Xia said, "Master, can I drink orange juice?"
"Squeeze it yourself." Jiang Feng's face was expressionless, as cold as a parent helping his child with homework.
"Your sister will have a friend over for dinner later. She may arrive early. The greeter at the door may not have gone to work yet. When your sister arrives, you will stand and wait at the door. Her surname is Tan, table 37. , just take her there." Jiang Feng began to assign tasks to Ji Xia.
"Okay." Ji Xia nodded.
Seeing Ji Xia like this, Jiang Feng thought that maybe she really didn't know Tan Wenwen, or maybe she knew Tan Wenwen but didn't remember it. People always forget things from their childhood very quickly. Jiang Feng didn't remember many of his classmates from elementary school now, not even those from junior high school. Much has been forgotten.
Jiang Feng thought about what he saw in his memory. The meals Ji Xue brought home every night during those days were all prepared by Tan Wenwen for her. If Tan Wenwen hadn't packed the rice so tightly and spread the vegetables so tightly, such a small lunch box would definitely not be able to hold enough food to feed two children.
Whether Ji Xia knew it or not, Tan Wenwen did it intentionally or unintentionally. Since it was so fate that Tan Wenwen came to BJ to see Ji Xue, it was always necessary to say thank you.
Ji Xia didn't have this awareness, so Jiang Feng, as a master, naturally wanted to help her.
"Xia Xia, do you want to learn how to make fried noodles?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Zhajiang Noodles? What are Zhajiang Noodles?" There are no Zhajiang Noodles in the town where Ji Xia is, and there is no Zhajiang Noodles in Taifeng Building. After arriving in Peking, no one took him to eat Zhajiang Noodles, so she I don’t even know what fried noodles are.
"It's just a kind of noodle, but it has vegetable code and fried sauce, and it has meat." Jiang Feng explained.
"I think." Ji Xia was extremely excited, "I learn noodles very quickly. Master Liang even praised me. I learn noodles very quickly!"
Jiang Feng:...
You may not believe it, but what I want to teach you is fried sauce.
Making fried sauce takes a certain amount of time. Jiang Feng looked at his phone and it was just past 3 o'clock. If everything went well, he would be able to finish a small bowl of fried sauce around 4 o'clock.
When Jiang Feng was practicing stretching noodles some time ago, he would occasionally make fried noodles with soybean paste. Fried noodles with soybean paste was not a difficult task, but Jiang Feng didn't do it very often, mainly because his noodles were not very good at stretching.
Every time the fried noodles were made, they were rated very unsightly, either D or E. This made Jiang Feng, who was used to seeing B or A grades, very uncomfortable and his self-esteem was greatly hurt.
So he chose to escape.
As long as I don't make fried noodles, there will be no D grade.
Ji Xia followed Jiang Feng into the kitchen, washed his hands carefully with him, and then stood next to Jiang Feng with a small spoon to watch how he made fried sauce.
"To make fried noodles, you don't need to stretch the noodles too thin. There are thin noodles and thick noodles, but most people still like to eat thick noodles. Xiaxia, your current level of stretching noodles is enough, so I don't have much experience in stretching noodles. It's easy to teach. Today I mainly want you to see how the sauce is fried. "Jiang Feng's small class has started.
Ji Xia listened attentively while holding a spoon.
"First of all, the fried sauce must use pork belly. I taught you about pork belly before. What kind of pork belly is the best to choose under normal circumstances?" Jiang Feng asked as soon as he came up.
Of course, Ji Xia can't fail when it comes to meat: "One third is fat and seven is thin."
"Yes, that's right, but if you like to use a little fatter, that's no problem." Jiang Feng picked a relatively medium-sized piece of pork belly, quickly peeled it off with a knife, separated the fat and lean meat, and cut it into pieces of the same size. Man.
"It's best to make fat when dicing, and separate lean meat. Only in this way can the fried sauce be fat but not greasy, and lean and crispy." Jiang Feng has seen a lot of fifth aunts in his family recently. When I posted the composition written by Jiang Junlian, I unconsciously used the descriptive techniques that Jiang Junlian always used when writing compositions - using many idioms.
Jiang Feng sometimes suspected that Jiang Junlian was writing a composition while looking through an idiom dictionary at the same time, trying so hard to get 800 words.
"Cut the green onions into white cubes. Don't cut them too small, otherwise they will be fried easily." Jiang Feng summed up his experience with E-grade fried sauce noodle soup. "Cut some minced ginger, and that's all the ingredients except the sauce. ”
"As for the sauce, it's a mixture of yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce. Come on, try the taste of these two sauces first." Jiang Feng pushed the yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce in front of Ji Xia, and Ji Xia tasted them.
"Xia Xia, one thing you have to remember is that cooking and tasting are inseparable. A good chef must have a good tongue, but it doesn't mean that you can't be a good chef without a good tongue, but it will be more difficult. Some.”
"There will definitely be various problems when you first start learning. You haven't really started to make it with your own hands. After you do it, you will find that the things you make may not be what you imagined. Same. But how do you find the problem? You have to use your mouth to taste the ingredients. To taste, you have to taste the sauce with your mouth, and you also have to taste the flavor of condiments with your mouth. You not only taste it but you also smell it, but the most important thing is to feel it with your tongue. It is difficult for you to distinguish without using your tongue. Discover what the real taste is." Just when Jiang Feng was explaining excitedly, Ji Xue suddenly came in.
Ji Xue didn't come in empty-handed, she also held a big casserole in her arms. The appearance and caliber of the pot were similar to the casserole she usually used to make Watan Huadiao Chicken. Jiang Feng looked a little familiar, and felt a bit like the casseroles Tan Weizhou used to make Watan Huadiao Chicken in the Tan Family Restaurant.
The casserole used by Tan Weizhou to make Watan Huadiao Chicken is a limited edition. It was left over from decades ago and is not available on the market now.
"Sister, what kind of jar are you holding?" Ji Xia's eyes were attracted by the casserole in Ji Xue's hand.
"A casserole for making Huadiao Chicken." Ji Xueyao said. Seeing that Jiang Feng seemed to be instructing Ji Xia on how to cook, he asked one more question: "What is Xia Xia learning today?"
"Learn how to make fried noodles!" Ji Xia said.
"Xia Xia can already learn how to make noodles with soybean paste. It's really amazing. Learn from your master." Ji Xue smiled at Ji Xia and walked towards the stove with the casserole in her arms.
Ji Yue had previously given her a special ideological education on how to educate her younger siblings. The specific content was that when she should be strict, she should never be merciful with the stick in her hand, but she should not be stingy when it was time to be lenient and praise.
Otherwise, only fighting without praise will easily lead to separation between the siblings.
Ji Xue studied Ji Yue's education seriously and put it into practice after the relationship between the sisters eased on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. During this period, the relationship between the two sisters has developed rapidly and has returned to the close relationship they had when they were young and shared chocolate equally.
"The fried bean paste is oily and contains a lot of bean paste. It needs to be fried over low heat until it is dry. No water should be added. It must be fried until it is cooked through and fragrant. At that time, you cannot see with your eyes. You have to smell it with your nose. And... ..." Jiang Feng was about to continue talking when he suddenly remembered that he had not asked Ji Xue when Tan Wenwen would arrive.
After all, he told Ji Xue not long ago that you should greet Tan Wenwen at the door and lead her to her seat, although the next second he changed his mind and said that he would teach Ji Xia how to make fried noodles.
Changing orders morning and night is something every master should do.
"Xia Xia, wait a minute. I'm going to ask your sister something. You can taste the yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce here." Jiang Feng walked towards Ji Xue.
Ji Xia obediently tasted the yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce with a spoon, and enjoyed the sweet noodle sauce.
Today is not only the motherland’s 70th birthday, but also my grandma’s 70th birthday. (It’s such a coincidence that the lunar calendar collides with the solar calendar) So our family will go out for some activities in the evening, and the second update may be later.
