Chapter 516 The Essence of Elbow
Jiang Feng went back to the house and took a nap for more than half an hour. When he was woken up by the alarm clock on his mobile phone, he was still a little dazed. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he woke up from a nap or a normal sleep. He only felt that something happened before going to bed. Everything is just like a dream.
It was like a dream about a busy morning in the kitchen.
When Jiang Feng came out of the house, rubbing his eyes sleepily, and saw everyone in the Jiang family making dumplings in the living room, he was sure that everything just happened really happened and was not a dream.
Making dumplings is probably the most harmonious and very popular family activity that all members of the Jiang family can do together, apart from eating. It is a magical activity that even the two sisters Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian will not be lazy, but will work very hard. .
"Brother, you're awake. Come and make dumplings. Here are these two big pots of stuffing!" Jiang Junlian's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Feng coming out of the house, and she started catching the young man on the spot.
The basin for filling dumplings in ordinary people's homes is usually the size of a washbasin, while the basin for filling dumplings in Jiang's family is the size of a bathtub.
Jiang Feng's hard work chopping dumpling fillings this morning was not in vain, in order to allow all members of the Jiang family to participate in this year's New Year's Eve dinner, so that everyone could enjoy the joy of tasting the fruits of their labor.
Before Jiang Feng could answer, Jiang Zaide patted Jiang Juanlian with a reproachful look on his face: "Julian, what are you causing trouble here? Your little brother is going to make New Year's Eve dinner later, so you don't have time to make dumplings."
"That's right, Juan Lian, what are you talking about here? We are enough to make dumplings, so why do you need your little brother?" Jiang Ran immediately followed suit.
"Yes, sister, what you said was so ill-considered." Jiang Junqing also rebelled on the spot.
Jiang Junlian, who has not yet adapted to the fact that Jiang Feng has changed from a contestant to a referee:...
"Oh, little brother, look at my memory. I suddenly didn't remember that you were helping grandpa cook New Year's Eve dinner this year. I only remembered that you don't like green onions and forgot about the real thing. I just made a lot of special things. Mutton and radish stuffing "Look at these dumplings, they are all made by me. They are big, round and beautiful. You must eat a few more dumplings made by me later. I made them specially for you!" Jiang Junlian activated her skills to talk about people! Talk, talk nonsense.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Is this still his cousin who can only communicate with her at a distance and attack her at close range when they get along, and even in his dreams at midnight he wants to muster up the courage to fight her to the death?
It was as if the devil tore off her disguise instantly and revealed her true form as an angel.
In fact, from a physical point of view, Jiang Junlian is closer to an angel.
"By the way, brother, do you want a drink?" Jiang Junlian put down the dumplings she had just made and inserted her chopsticks into the fillings. There was still flour left over from making the dumplings in her palms, fingertips and between her fingernails.
"I also have a bottle of drink that my uncle sent me last month. The peach flavor is particularly delicious. I'll get it for you!" Jiang Junlian went back to the room to get the drink.
"Didn't you tell me yesterday that you finished the drink?" Jiang Junqing exclaimed instantly, with disbelief written all over his face.
Jiang Junlian ignored Jiang Junqing's taunting skills and left in a flash. When she came back, she had a bottle of pink girl-style drink that looked very delicate.
Jiang Feng took the drink stiffly: "I'm going to the kitchen."
Apply oil to the soles of your feet and slip away.
Jiang Feng was afraid that if he stayed in the living room any longer, he would get lost in Jiang Juanlian's sugar-coated bombshells and praises, and he had just seen that Brother De and Brother Cheng were a little ready to make a move.
Jiang Feng had never felt the charm of the Jiang family's throne so clearly and strongly.
Hot, seductive, eye-catching, sparkling.
Even, easily accessible.
Jiang Feng grabbed the drink bottle and came to the kitchen door. He took a deep breath and took a look at the pink packaging of the drink bottle.
This bottle of drink was a treatment he had never had before.
This is also a treatment that no one in the Jiang family could have received before, because the old man doesn't like to drink.
But today, Jiang Juanlian personally handed the bottle of drink to herself.
He, Jiang Feng, must become the man at the top of the Jiang family's cooking chain!
One day he will succeed in usurping the throne, cooking New Year's Eve dinner for everyone in the Jiang family alone, and reaping all the praise and rainbow farts.
With this unprecedented ambition, Jiang Feng stepped into the kitchen.
"Here you come? Let's see how the elbows are soaking. If there's no problem, go take care of it and think about what to cook later." The old man said without raising his head.
Even if the old man didn't raise his head, Jiang Feng would give his most sincere and brilliant smile: "Grandpa, what do you think is better this year? I have no experience in doing it in my first year."
"Do whatever you're good at. When you're done, go and cut open the black fish. Be quick and don't waste time." The old man said.
"Okay grandpa." Jiang Feng went to fish for elbows in the water.
If Jiang Feng was asked to do an elbow, his first reaction would definitely be Dongpo's elbow. It's not the genuine Dongpo elbow, but the Dongpo elbow that Jiang Jiankang improved beyond recognition but insists on taking advantage of other people's Dongpo elbow.
Grandma Chen Xiuxiu’s pigs were well raised, they were appropriately fat and thin, and the pig’s front hooves were strong and strong. From the pig’s hooves alone, you can tell that this pig must have been a good pig during its lifetime. But the pig-killing butcher's skills were not good enough, and he failed this good pig.
If the blood is not drained cleanly, the pork will have a peculiar smell.
When Jiang Feng took the elbow out of the basin, it had been soaked in water for nearly 24 hours, and the water had been changed several times in the process. Among the elbows on the Jiang family's New Year's Eve dinner, this was definitely considered a VIP level. treatment.
The elbows made by Jiang Jiankang are rich in oily red sauce with a hint of sweetness. The taste is supplemented by the texture. It must melt in your mouth and the skin and flesh can be separated by gently poking the elbows with chopsticks.
The feeling of fat melting instantly in the mouth is the essence of the elbow made by Jiang Jiankang.
As Jiang Jiankang's only son, Jiang Feng has eaten Jiang Jiankang's special elbow for so many years, and is well aware of its exquisiteness. He also knows that this exquisiteness requires a long time to simmer.
Looking at the time, Jiang Feng found that as long as he was quick, he should be able to make it in time. Without thinking about it, he picked up his sleeves and started working.
First put the washed elbows into a pot of water, boil them over high heat, remove the blood and fish them out. Jiang Feng quickly changed the water, poured oil into the pot and sauteed the onions, ginger and garlic until fragrant, then added other spices and stir-fried.
Jiang Feng was racing against time until the elbow was put into the casserole to stew, for fear that if he was a step too late, the simmering time would not be enough to achieve the melt-in-the-mouth effect.
The old man kept his head down while cooking his own dishes, but he was very aware of Jiang Feng's progress as if he had eyes on his head. When Jiang Feng closed the casserole, he said: "Don't stop, cut open the fish."
"When you can actually become a chef in the future, you will find that time is never enough. Even if you grow 10 more hands, you will still be busy, so there is no point in rushing." The old man said.
Jiang Feng slowed down his movements.
“It’s even worse to be slow.”
Jiang Feng silently sped up his movements again.
"Thankfully you have studied so many more years than we did, and I don't know what you have learned. I have told your dad a long time ago that you and your cousins are the only ones who still have some talent, so don't waste your time. Go learn that photoelectric information and practice cooking. What's the use of what you're learning?" The old man began to complain. In fact, he rarely complained about Jiang Feng's college major recently. After all, he had a lot to complain about recently. .
Jiang Feng really wanted to have an in-depth discussion with the old man about how to analyze the status of chef Dahe in the kitchen from the perspective of optical fiber transmission, but he killed the idea as soon as it came up because the old man still had a knife on him. .
"If you want to be a chef, cooking is only part of it. Distribution is the real difficult knowledge." The old man said, "Let's go and see how the fire in the stove is. If it's not big enough, add two more firewood."
< br>
The old man walked to the stove with the marinated enema and began to pour oil into the pot: "But in terms of cooking skills, you are really good now. You have made great progress and completely exceeded my expectations. But in terms of distribution, not only Wu Yatou Better than you, even that boy from the Sun family is better than you.”
"Distribution?" Jiang Feng's hand paused.
"Have you ever seen Wu Yatou doing cutting, serving or serving during business hours? Everyone has their own work to do and it's their own fault if they are too busy. If you are the chef , what you have to do is to distribute and solve, not to help. You have to have a balance in your mind and know when to do what. Fill the fish and bring it to me when it is done. "
"Oh." Jiang Feng began to fillet the fish.
"It's a little early to tell you these things, but you have to start learning and pay more attention to what your third grandfather and I are doing in the kitchen. Don't act stupidly like your dad all day long. I know how to be lazy. When I go back after the Chinese New Year, I will take away the shelf and change my position. I will be upset every day. I know how to hide behind the shelf and be lazy. Such a big man thinks that others can't see him." The old man looked disgusted.
Jiang Feng:...
Comrade Jiang Jiankang, you are a noob who cheated your son! (End of chapter)
