Chapter 586 New Year’s Eve Dinner (3)
Although Jiang Feng wanted to jump up and beat Jiang Xiaoran violently, he couldn't.
Not within memory, not outside memory. I can't beat him in my memory, and my master is unknown outside my memory.
He could only silently bury the grief and indignation of being beaten by a dozen strong men in his heart, and arrange his seat between Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian when he had a chance to have dinner with Jiang Xiaoran next time.
Jiang Xiaoran put the two dishes on the table, and Lin Juan and Jiang Yanlu's wife went into the kitchen to serve them. Jiang Yanlu and Jiang Yong sat side by side on chairs and warmed themselves up around the brazier. Jiang Yong had no expression on his face, while Jiang Yanlu rubbed his hands and showed a flattering smile. He seemed to have something to say.
There were still some melon seed peels scattered on the ground. It was obvious that the scumbag comrade was very perfunctory when sweeping the floor and did not sweep it clean at all.
"Xiaoyong, um, I have something I want to discuss with you..." Before Jiang Yanlu could say anything, he was interrupted by Grandma Jiang Xiaoran who walked out of the kitchen angrily, then turned back and brought out a plate of dishes.
"It's time to eat, it's all served." Grandma Jiang Xiaoran said with a smile, giving her eldest son a warning look.
Jiang Yanlu quickly shut up. Jiang Yong glanced at him without saying anything and sat down at the table.
Jiang Zhe was the last one to arrive at the table, and it was not until Jiang Weiming came out with the last dish that he reluctantly sat down next to his mother. When he sat down, he restrained his scumbag and gangster aura a little, probably because Jiang Yong was sitting next to him.
The last dish to be served was steamed eel. Perhaps because he was afraid that the soup would be spilled on the way over or the flavor would be lost, Jiang Weiming held the dish on another plate. When the dish was served, Jiang Feng could smell a faint eel. fragrance.
"Dad, what is this?" Jiang Yanlu asked.
"Steamed eel." Jiang Xiaoran answered quickly.
Jiang Weiming nodded and moved the dishes next to the steamed eel: "I used to make this dish when you two were at home. In the past few years, didn't Xiaoyong only come back during the Chinese New Year? It's nothing. I ate it when I had the opportunity, and I happened to have plump eels this year.”
Jiang Weiming unveiled
Fragrant and fragrant.
As if the seal had been released, the aroma that had been sealed on the plate suddenly burst out, and the delicious aroma of fish, pork, and fuyong eggs swept in like a torrent, surrounding everyone present.
fragrant.
It is very fragrant, not floral or simply meaty, but a mixture of the fresh aroma of eel and the top-quality clear soup. Jiang Weiming is a master of clear soup. Jiang Feng had already experienced this when eating chickpeas, but this did not prevent him from drooling over the plate of steamed eel in front of him.
The large and plump eel meat, cut into segments, is clearly displayed on the plate. The color of the sauce can be clearly seen on the meat, and the fish meat near the skin is white and delicate.
Jiang Feng had eaten this dish at Wu's Restaurant years ago, and it was made by Wu Han. While eating, Wu Minqi also introduced him to how to make steamed eel. Jiang Feng clearly remembered Wu Minqi saying that the steamed eel made by a chef with particularly good cooking skills can be fragrant for 50 meters after being put on the table.
Jiang Feng didn't pay attention at the time, just thinking it was a beautiful legend that existed in the chef world. After all, this kind of legend is not uncommon in the chef world. Everyone has a legendary chef who can cook a certain dish to perfection, but no one has ever seen it.
Now Jiang Feng saw it, and the steamed eel that was said to be able to carry a fragrant fragrance of 50 meters after being uncovered was clearly placed in front of him.
Although Jiang Feng couldn't really go 50 meters away from the dish and smell it to see if he could really smell the aroma of steamed eel, he knew very well that what Jiang Weiming made was the legendary dish.
The secret to the aroma is the last spoonful of clear soup poured over the dish.
To a certain extent, Tian Lin's new idea of just pouring chicken soup into dishes is not wrong. Top-quality stock and clear soup really have the power to turn decay into magic. After all, stock and clear soup are the ultimate exploration and ultimate refinement of the freshness of ingredients by Chinese chefs in the past thousand years.
Unparalleled.
Unfortunately, Jiang Feng could only watch Jiang Xiaoran feast on the dinner table while he stood by and drooled.
Jiang Xiaoran is a teenager who is in the developmental stage and is the first high school student to eat. Not only does he eat a lot, he also eats quickly. Maybe it was the speed of eating and grabbing food that he had developed by fighting for food in the cafeteria, but Jiang Zhe, who was also in his prime at the same table with him, didn't seem to be able to beat him at the table.
The steamed eel on the plate is rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In addition to the plump eel meat in the steamed eel, the pork and hibiscus eggs buried under the fish meat are also rare delicacies. Especially the furong egg, because it is buried at the bottom and absorbs all kinds of soup, it is almost the essence of the whole dish, where the fresh flavors gather.
Because Jiang Xiaoran ate quickly, when the pork and eel on the surface were all finished, the hibiscus egg buried at the bottom was still hot or even a little hot.
Jiang Xiaoran had been busy eating before. When he ate the furong egg, he couldn't help but take out his mouth and sigh: "Wow, grandpa, the steamed egg under the fish you made is really delicious!"
"Come and try two pieces!" Jiang Xiaoran seemed to have discovered a new treasure.
Grandma Jiang Xiaoran scooped up a spoonful of eggs with a smile, while Jiang Weiming smiled and shook his head: "Grandpa doesn't like food, but if you like it, just eat more."
"Eat slowly and no one will compete with you. It's like a piggy eating." Lin Juan said with a smile.
"Xiaoran is growing, so it's normal to eat quickly." Jiang Yanlu said.
Jiang Yong also had a smile on his face, and the New Year's Eve dinner finally began to develop into a happy and family-friendly atmosphere.
"Hmph." Unfortunately, a real scumbag would never allow the atmosphere to become a happy and family-friendly one.
Jiang Zhe's cold snort seemed to express his strong inner dissatisfaction to everyone present. He was sitting at the table with his head propped up as if his bones had been ripped out. He looked like a gangster collecting protection fees at the entrance of the village.
Seeing Jiang Zhe's appearance, the smile on Jiang Yong's face disappeared, and he couldn't help but said: "You have to look like you are eating when you are eating. How do you look like this? Sit down."
Jiang Zhe reluctantly resumed his normal sitting posture.
Hearing what Jiang Yong said, Jiang Yanlu's wife immediately had an opinion: "Second brother, what do you mean? The New Year's Eve scolds Xiaozhe for what he is doing. He sits wherever he likes and how he feels comfortable."< br>
At the end, he added unconvincedly: "Of course you didn't care about the way he ate just now. Xiaozhe just sat a little casually."
Jiang Xiaoran, who was immersed in eating eggs:? ? ?
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Lin Juan put the bowl on the table and turned on the fire, "What does it mean for Ran Ran to eat like that? Ran Ran eats like that. Who is a teenager eating? Like this? ”
"Did Jiang Yong just talk about Xiaozhe's sitting posture? Don't you know what he was talking about? If you have any objections to our family, just say so. Jiang Zhe has been acting yin and yang since we entered the house. , where did we offend you? Let’s make it clear, don’t blame others here.”
Every housewife is an excellent quarrel player.
"Okay, what's the fuss about during the Chinese New Year?" Grandma Jiang Xiaoran jumped out to smooth things over. "There is indeed something wrong with Xiaozhe's sitting posture. It's okay if the elders say it. However, don't be so voracious when you eat later. Be careful of choking. Slow down. , your aunt is right.”
"Eat."
It's a pity that no one at the table can really eat except Jiang Xiaoran who is immersed in eating eggs.
Jiang Feng wanted to sit on the table and eat for them.
Really, if you want to quarrel, go to the yard and fight directly after dinner. No quarrel at the dinner table will affect the mood of eating.
Several people at the table absentmindedly ate a few mouthfuls of food. Lin Juan stared at her sister-in-law eagerly and was always ready to fight. However, Jiang Yanlu's wife simply surrendered and gave up for some reason. She didn't even bother to see Lin Juan and kept giving Jiang Zhe food. vegetable.
Jiang Yong's face was expressionless, as if he was used to it. Jiang Yanlu seemed to have something to say but never said it. The expressions of Jiang Weiming and Jiang Yanlu seemed to be struggling with something, but he was more pretending not to observe carefully. come out. Grandma Jiang Xiaoran ignored everyone and went about eating their own food, only occasionally giving Jiang Xiaoran a few pieces of meat dishes.
Jiang Xiaoran was definitely the best in the show, he was the one who ate the most. Although he was dissed inexplicably, he was definitely not at a loss.
"Grandma, can I stay here tonight, and then ask grandpa to cook me another plate of steamed eel tomorrow morning? I want to mix it with noodles." Jiang Xiaoran whispered in her grandma's ear.
"Go and tell your dad. If you stay here tonight, your grandpa will definitely burn it for you tomorrow morning." Grandma Jiang Xiaoran said with a smile.
Just when Jiang Xiaoran was about to turn around and mention this to his father sitting opposite him, Jiang Weiming put the bowl on the table and said: "Yanlu, Xiaoyong, come to the room with me. I have something to tell you two. ”
Grandma Jiang Xiaoran's face suddenly darkened. Today I went shopping with my mother for the New Year during the day (I have to go there again before I finish), and happily played Werewolf in the evening. Sure enough, I am losing my mind playing with things (looking at the sky) Tomorrow I will change my mind, start a new life, update it properly, and guarantee two updates, for sure!
