Chapter 457 Gannan Navel Orange
Ever since Jiang Feng discovered that he would be highly concentrated when teaching others how to cook, and the crab-stuffed oranges he made would never turn over, Ji Xia had become an important part of making crab-stuffed oranges.
As long as Ji Xia was in Tai Feng Building when Jiang Feng was making crab-stuffed oranges, he would let Ji Xia stand next to him and help pick the crabs.
Jiang Feng felt that by mid-November when Gannan navel oranges would be on the market, Ji Xia could start trying to make crab-stuffed oranges.
When Jiang Feng practiced making crab-stuffed oranges in September, he had always used Australian oranges. Now he has switched to using locally produced oranges. However, in Jiang Feng’s mind, the most suitable orange variety for making crab-stuffed oranges has always been Gannan navel oranges.
Sweet and sour, juicy, big and plump, it’s the perfect choice for making crab-stuffed oranges.
Gannan navel oranges have a good reputation, but Jiang Feng had never tasted particularly authentic ones before going to college. He always thought that the fruit was large in shape, bright orange-red, with an edible rate of 85%, crisp and tender flesh, and a rich, sweet and fragrant flavor. The adjective "containing more than 55% juice" is made up by fruit shops to deceive students who don't know how to choose fruits.
After all, Gannan navel oranges are much more expensive than other locally produced oranges.
After Jiang Feng went to college, he found that he was too narrow-minded.
One of Jiang Feng's college classmates lived in southern Gansu and had an orchard. When he was a freshman, his mother sent him two boxes of oranges to school, and he gave one to every classmate in the class.
After Jiang Feng tasted the authentic Gannan navel oranges produced in the orchard in Gannan for the first time, he was shocked. He quickly chatted privately on WeChat and found out that the price was even more amazing (since it was only half of the price in the fruit shop). From then on, it became their home orchard. long-term stable customers.
Other students placed orders for 20 pounds each, but Jiang Feng placed orders for 200 pounds and 200 pounds each.
200 kilograms is normal, but at the stall near the New Year's Eve where express delivery is about to stop, because he has to stock up on New Year's goods, Jiang Feng's last order is usually so large that others suspect he is engaged in fruit wholesale.
During the Chinese New Year, you can have a big meal cooked by the old man every day, which is basically a big dish. After eating a big meal full of fat and carbohydrates, eating two sweet and sour oranges can help everyone in the Jiang family better prepare for the next meal.
"Master, the crab meat is ready." Ji Xia's words pulled Jiang Feng out of his memories of Gannan navel oranges.
Looking at the orange in his hand, Jiang Feng even felt a little disgusted.
Last year, because the healthy stir-fry restaurant had just opened, the old man went to City A again. Because everyone could often taste the old man's craftsmanship, everyone in the Jiang family except the eldest aunt was a little indifferent to navel oranges.
This year, crab-stuffed oranges are a unique dish. Gannan navel oranges are bound to shine again on the Jiang family’s dining table.
Jiang Feng was making crab-stuffed oranges while explaining to Ji Xia, but because he was a little distracted thinking about Gannan navel oranges at first, the final product did not reach Grade A and was somewhat unsatisfactory.
It was definitely too late to try again. Jiang Feng saw that Ji Xue had begun to stare at the Huadiao Chicken on the tile altar with all its concentration. It was obvious that it was about to be cooked.
B-level is just B-level, it’s not too bad.
Jiang Feng thought like this and put the lid back on the steamer to ensure that the temperature inside would prevent the crab-stuffed oranges from cooling down during this period.
"Xia Xia, let's start stretching the noodles." Jiang Feng said.
The dough was ready. Ji Xia kneaded the dough again, took out a small ball, and began to stretch the dough.
When Ji Xia makes noodles, they look different from normal times.
Although she looks more mature than other children of the same age, is not short in stature, and has a healthy and dark complexion, the first impression she gives is that of a child.
At first, he was a child who was a little timid and didn't dare to talk to people, so he ignored them. Now he is a child who can't control his mouth and always likes to eat junk food and drink carbonated drinks.
But when she was stretching the noodles, she seemed to have grown up in an instant.
Focused, serious, even pious.
People who work hard always look extra mature.
Ji Xue's movements when stretching the noodles are very beautiful, her hands are very steady, the noodles are smooth, the muscles are smooth, and the noodles are rolled in one go, like clouds and flowing water. The movements are big, opening and closing like a dancer dancing, and the noodles in her hands are like ribbons in the hands of the dancers, well-behaved and obedient.
If Ji Xia insists on opening a breakfast shop in a small town or county in the future, he might as well sell pasta on the way. Just her movements when stretching out noodles are enough to attract a large number of children into her shop to eat noodles.
After a while, the noodles were stretched out. When Jiang Feng threw the noodles into the pot and cooked them, Ji Xue's Watan Huadiao Chicken was also ready.
The weight of a whole chicken in a casserole is not light. If you use a tray to carry it, the center of gravity will be unstable. Ji Xue has never served dishes before, and she has not been able to adjust the position even after trying several times.
"Ji Xue, please leave this alone and wait for me to serve it later. You may not be very good at serving it. Xia Xia's noodles will be out of the pot soon. Then you can serve fried noodles and crab-stuffed oranges." Jiang Feng said.
"Yeah." Ji Xue nodded and walked towards Jiang Feng.
There weren't a lot of noodles in the pot. After they came out of the pot, Jiang Feng divided them into two small bowls. It seemed like each bowl only had two mouthfuls of noodles. The noodles were small enough to allow Ji Xue and Tan Wenwen to taste Ji Xia's craftsmanship.
Jiang Feng placed the dishes on the two bowls of plain noodles and poured them with fried sauce. With his excellent presentation skills, the exquisite and beautiful noodles with fried sauce were freshly baked in two nights. The colors are rich and the combination is reasonable. Green cucumber shreds and brightly colored carrot shreds alternate. The fried sauce is poured in the middle of the noodles like a small round pancake. The noodles are of moderate thickness and look very chewy.
These two bowls of fried noodles look even more tempting than the carefully photoshopped photos of fried noodles on the Babao Zhai menu.

Jiang Feng was a little stunned when he looked at the fried noodles. This bowl of fried noodles was obviously not made by him. He only made fried noodles and vegetables. The most important noodles were made by Ji Xia, but he could actually see the noodles. show.
Is it possible that as long as he is involved in some parts of a dish, it is considered to be made by him without having to do the main part?
"Can the crab-stuffed orange be taken out now?" Ji Xue asked.
"Okay." Jiang Feng nodded, handed the crab-stuffed orange and fried soybean noodles to Ji Xue, and went to serve the Watan Huadiao Chicken.
Tan Wenwen was sitting at table 37, waiting for the food. Table 37 was considered a good location because it was next to the window and the lighting was particularly good.
Tan Wenwen sat quietly in her seat without playing with her mobile phone. When she saw Ji Xue coming, she waved and smiled at her.
Compared with the Tan Wenwen who was in the third grade of junior high school that Jiang Feng saw in his memory, the current Tan Wenwen can be said to be a woman who has transformed into a girl, with all her childishness gone.
She has light makeup on her face, a single ponytail, and a lighter lipstick. She is dressed simply yet fashionably. Tan Wenwen's current appearance reminded Jiang Feng of the very shrewd and capable vice-president of the student union who had a hard time dealing with Ji Yue just because she was unwilling to give activity funds to the chess club.
She was truly a woman who was very strict with herself and others, so scary that people didn't dare to hate her, and even a little scared.
Jiang Feng put the Huadiao Chicken on the table and said to Ji Xue: "You eat with your friends first, don't be in a hurry. If the time is up, I will ask Ji Xia to come out and call you."
"Okay, thank you." Ji Xue nodded and sat opposite Tan Wenwen.
Tan Wenwen also smiled and nodded to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng glanced at the table.
