Chapter 518 Giving Dumplings (please vote for me!)
Shredded yam should be regarded as the A-level dish that Jiang Feng is most proficient in making.
Since getting the recipe for the Chinese New Year last year, Jiang Feng has made it at least a thousand times this year. He even relied on pulled yam to counterattack Wu Minqi in the Good Taste Cooking Competition, and later used pulled yam to cook at Tai Feng Lou Station. Keep your footing.
It can be said that the dish of shredded yam is of great significance to Jiang Feng, and it was the beginning of his counterattack.
But for Grandma Jiang, this caramelized yam, which is so sweet that it’s cloyingly sweet because of the added element of love, is a bit bland.
"Small pieces, then smaller pieces, yes, just this size. The pieces are too big for your grandma and me to bite." Grandma Jiang ordered while eating cold shredded radish.
Jiang Feng swore that this might be the smallest piece of yam he had ever cut.
"By the way, Xiaofeng, when you make it, add more sugar. Grandma's body is very healthy in all aspects. Don't worry about grandma eating too much sugar, which is bad for her health. Add more sugar, or less and it won't taste good." Grandma Jiang said.
Jiang Feng suddenly thought of the double-sweet carrot yam that Jiang Huiqin made for Grandma Li Mingyi on New Year's Eve.
"Grandma, do you want me to make a small portion for you?" Jiang Feng suggested.
"That's too bad. Don't make too much. Just half a plate is enough. Xiaofeng is such a good and filial child." Grandma Jiang suddenly smiled from ear to ear. "Grandma will bake pancakes for you tomorrow morning."
"Thank you grandma."
A few minutes later, Grandma Jiang happily sat by the steamer with a small plate of shredded yam, blowing on it and eating the yam in small bites. There was also half a bowl of steaming and white mutton soup on the table.
"Xiao Feng." The old man called Jiang Feng to his side, "Tell your grandma to eat less. Dinner will be served later. Don't let it be seen that you are full now. You are still hiding in the kitchen and turning on the stove when you are old. I won’t be afraid of others laughing at me when I eat it.”
After receiving the order, Xiao Feng ran to Grandma Jiang again. Before she could speak, Grandma Jiang said: "Xiao Feng, pat half a cucumber for Grandma and put less vinegar in it."
"Okay grandma!"
After another ten minutes, the old man's crispy apples came out of the pot. Grandma Jiang also finished the food on the plate and bowl and ate half full. She stood up and got ready to work with satisfaction.
"Eat less sweets, eating too much is bad for your teeth." The old man muttered to Grandma Jiang.
"Isn't it rare for me to eat this once? Anyway, my teeth are already bad, so it won't be a big deal." Grandma Jiang picked up the plate with cold dishes, one in her left hand and one in her right hand, and walked out slowly.
She would have to come back later to bring the crispy apples, and then take them out after the crispy apples had cooled down a bit. Not only did everyone's mouths get hot when they ate it, but Grandma Jiang's hands got hot too when she was holding it.
"Xiao Feng, go check to see if the elbow is ready. When it's done, take it out of the pot and divide it into two plates. After dividing it, divide the Morshek as well. Then stir-fry two plates of green vegetables as your grandma said, and finally make the shredded yam. "The old man said.
"Okay grandpa."
Because there was only one elbow but it had to be divided into two parts, Jiang Feng chopped the elbow into two pieces before making it, so it looked a bit nondescript.
After several hours of simmering, the elbows had absorbed the soup. The moment the elbows were taken out of the pot and plated, Jiang Feng heard the game prompt.
"Ding, the New Year's Eve dinner participation rate has reached 40%."
While the old man was cooking blackened fish with garlic, Jiang Feng clicked on the properties panel to check the progress of the task. Probably because Dongpo elbow is a big dish, the participation rate jumped to 42%, which is far from the [New Year's Eve Dinner] side quest. The only thing left to complete is everyone's approval of the dumplings produced by Jiangjia.
Jiang Feng finished packaging the dishes, looked at the pot again, and saw that the dumplings were already cooked, and said, "Grandpa, when the dumplings are ready, do you want me to take them out and deliver them to Grandma Li and a few others first?"
The old man nodded: "Okay, you and Dede will deliver the dumplings first, and I'll fry the vegetables."
At the same time, the guessing game in the living room has ended.
After Grandma Jiang entered the kitchen, the eldest aunt and her sisters-in-law arranged the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks. Everyone sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the most exciting time of the year to come.
Just as Jiang Feng opened the lid of the casserole containing the elbow, Jiang Jiankang in the living room screamed and jumped in front of everyone and concluded that it was his own version of Dongpo elbow.
After that, even though everyone showed their magical powers and made up the tricks of choosing the shortest among the three long and one short, and choosing the longest among the three short and one long during the exam, no one was fooled by any dish.
There is no way around it, this test question from Morshek is really over the top.
Jiang Feng walked towards the living room carrying a basin of dried dumplings poured with mutton soup. Everyone who heard the footsteps held their breaths.
"It tastes like mutton soup, I said it must have mutton soup!" Jiang Jianguo slapped his thigh in excitement.
"Brother, I just said that mutton soup doesn't count. How can something that you can guess count?" Jiang Jiandang objected.
"That's right, mutton soup doesn't count!" Jiang Jianshe and Jiang Jianye said in unison.
Jiang Feng appeared in front of everyone. Everyone looked at the basin in his hand and found that it was a basin...
Hey, why is it a pot of dumplings?
"Grandpa said the dumplings are ready. Let's serve the dumplings first. Let's bring a bowl to the family who brought the pork first." Jiang Feng seemed to be a microphone conveying the old man's will.
"Boss, wife, go get the bowl." Grandma Jiang directed, "Xiao Feng, is the food ready?"
"It's almost time. Dinner can be served in more than ten minutes at most." Jiang Feng said.
The eldest aunt took out a stack of clean bowls from the cabinet, and Jiang Feng and others began to fill the bowls with dumplings. Everyone is very generous when it comes to serving dumplings, stuffing them into the bowls until the soup and dumplings overflow.
The piping hot mutton soup goes perfectly with the freshly made mutton dumplings!
After discussion, Jiang Feng had to come back to cook, so he took charge of the nearest Li Cuihua's house and Zhu Zhu's house. Because the dumplings were too full and there was a fear that they would spill out, and a bowl was placed on top of the bowl, Jiang Feng simply made more trips and only took one bowl at a time. , anyway, he is very close.
Jiang Feng took the bowl and trotted to the next door.
The population of Li Cuihua's family is not as large as that of Jiang's family, and it is impossible for the several additional daughters to bring their husband and children back for New Year's Eve dinner, so it is relatively deserted on New Year's Eve. When Jiang Feng entered with the dumplings, there was only Zhao Liang (Li Cuihua's grandson) in the living room, and there were several steaming dishes on the dining table.
"Jiang Feng? Why are you here? Dinner hasn't been served yet?" Zhao Liang asked curiously, looking away from his phone.
"Come on, my family cooked mutton soup and dumplings today. My grandpa asked me to bring a bowl to your family. Eat it while it's hot." Jiang Feng put the bowl on the table and opened it, revealing the bulging meat in the bowl. Big fat dumplings.
The dumplings on the surface are either made by Jiang Junlian or Jiang Zaide. The moon is almost full, so some people believe it if they say they are dumplings.
"Wow." Zhao Liang stared at the dumplings with a certain degree of dullness in his expression.
"By the way, where is your family? This..." Jiang Feng was interrupted by Li Cuihua before he could finish his words.
Li Cuihua, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen holding a spatula. The kitchen and living room of Li Cuihua's house were almost adjacent to each other, just two steps away.
"Liangliang, have your parents come back from pulling out the radishes? Wash the radishes and bring them over as soon as they come back. I'm still waiting for the radishes...ah, it turns out to be Xiaofeng!"
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Pulling radishes on New Year's Eve?
What kind of strange New Year's Eve event is this in the Zhao family?
"My grandma just discovered that there were not enough radishes, so my parents went to the fields to pull radishes." Zhao Liang explained.
Jiang Feng understood immediately, and said that when he just went out, he always felt that there were two people in the vegetable field opposite. He thought it was because it was too dark.
It turned out that it was Zhao Liang and his parents who were pulling carrots in the dark.
"Grandma Li, I'm here to bring you dumplings. Eat them while they're hot." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Oh, Xiao Feng is really thoughtful. He even made a special trip to deliver dumplings this year." Li Cuihua was extremely enthusiastic, groping around with her hands as if she wanted to take out something for Jiang Feng.
"By the way, Liangliang grab two handfuls of sugar-roasted chestnuts for Xiaofeng. These chestnuts are the wild chestnuts your Grandpa Zhao went to the mountains to pick a few days ago. They are so sweet. Liangliang, grab two more handfuls for Xiaofeng. Wait for you My parents came back and asked them to bring me the radishes quickly." Li Cuihua smiled sheepishly at Jiang Feng, "Xiao Feng, Grandma Li, I won't talk to you as I still have food in the pot. Come here for snacks tomorrow. ”
"Thank you, Grandma Li." Jiang Feng said sweetly, imitating Jiang Junlian's tone. He found that most elderly ladies did Jiang Junlian's way.
Jiang Feng gave out a bowl of dumplings and got a pocket full of chestnuts. The moment he stepped out of Li Cuihua's house, he heard the familiar game prompt.
"Ding, get the approval of a family."
It seems that Zhao Liang couldn't help but eat it secretly.
After returning home, Jiang Feng shared half a bag of chestnuts with his uncles and went to deliver dumplings to Zhuzi's house. When he came back, he was carrying a bag of egg yolk cakes.
Jiang Feng had no interest in the egg yolk cakes and generously donated them, sneaking into the kitchen to make shredded yam. The old man had finished the fight and was holding a bowl of mutton soup, blowing on it and drinking it slowly.
Another bowl next to the old man revealed that he had already eaten.
Jiang Feng:...
I didn’t expect you, grandpa, to steal too...
No, how can it be said that the relationship between chefs is stealing food?
Taste, yes, just taste. The old man is giving everyone a taste of salt.
After the old man tasted the saltiness of a whole bowl of mutton soup, Jiang Feng's carved yam was ready. While Jiang Feng was making shredded yam, the game beeped several more times. If he calculated correctly, he only needed one family's approval to complete the [New Year's Eve Dinner] side quest.
Jiang Feng and the old man took the dishes out one after another. Jiang Zaide and the others were still delivering dumplings and had not returned.
Every time a dish was served, everyone would be stunned. When the dishes were all served, the table was completely silent. Everyone looked confused, and their helplessness was revealed in the confusion.
Jiang Jianguo stared at the food on the table and fell into deep thought, wondering for the first time whether he was Jiang Weiguo's biological son.
Why don’t I recognize any of the dishes my biological father cooks?
The old man did not sit down, but stood and asked: "Who guessed it right?"
"I, I, I, Dad, I heard it right!" Jiang Jiankang raised his hand to speak.
"And Juan Lian, she smelled the honey grilled lamb chops right before." Jiang Jiandang added.
The old man nodded, went back into the kitchen, and brought two small plates of fried lamb tripe.
A small stack, Jiang Jiankang can finish it in three mouthfuls. The lamb tripe is chopped very finely and mixed with coriander and distinct red peppers, which is very tempting.
They were probably made when Jiang Feng was delivering the dumplings, which were still steaming.
"I didn't do the nine-turn large intestine this year, so this is my reward." The old man showed a smile, "That girl Juan Lian is pretty good."
It's a pity that the person being praised was not present, otherwise Jiang Junlian would have hugged the old man's thigh in pain on the spot, crying and shouting: "Grandpa, I am actually blind, I have no talent and am not suitable to learn cooking!"
< br>
"Dad, what kind of dish are you cooking today?" Jiang Jiankang, who received a special reward, asked boldly.
"Morshek, a kind of whole sheep mat, made from haggis." The old man took his seat.
"The last time your dad made this dish was fifty years ago. It was specially made for the fire-fighting heroes. Eat it while it's hot and eat more." Grandma Jiang said with a smile, "Have Dede and the others finished delivering it?"
"This is the last portion." said the eldest aunt.
"Then wait until they come back before serving dinner. It's really hard for them to deliver dumplings in the cold weather." Grandma Jiang said with a smile, "Xiao Feng, you have worked hard today. If you are hungry, eat first."
"It's okay, grandma, I'll wait for Brother De and the others." Jiang Feng said.
He had tasted a lot of food in the kitchen and now he wasn't hungry at all.
"Ding, the side mission [New Year's Eve Dinner] is completed, and the mission reward [A Memory of Jiang Weiguo] was obtained."
As soon as the game prompt sounded, Jiang Zaide's loud voice came from the outside.
"Grandma, we are back!"
"It's good to be back. Sit down and eat quickly. Your grandpa and Xiaofeng have made a big table of dishes and are waiting for you!"
Jiang Zaide and others roared in and returned to their positions instantly. It's time to eat.
