The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 101 Stewed Dragon and Phoenix Soup
At noon, the family chewed Ye Qing's steamed pork buns and discussed the snake issue. Except for Xu's mother and three women who did not speak, the other three men discussed in full swing.

Wu Yan has always been reticent, but this time when talking about stewed snake soup, he also talked more.

"Fried first, then stewed!"

"Just throw it into the pot and stew it, just add some pepper and ginger to remove the smell!"

"This is good, but don't fry it?"

"After frying and adding ginger and pepper, it's braised in soy sauce!"

Ye Junbei's voice was the most enthusiastic, but Ye Pingrong and Wuyan didn't give in too much, as if the three of them had eaten countless times, and had all kinds of experience.

Ye Qing finished eating one bun, took another bun and took a bite, then cast a serious glance at the three of them, and asked seriously, "Have you all drank snake soup or eaten snake meat?"

"I haven't drank or eaten!"

This time, the voices of the three were in unison, and no one was behind by half a point.

Hearing this, Ye Qing touched his forehead and said helplessly, "I haven't eaten yet, and you guys are still discussing so lively?"

Ye Pingrong and Ye Junbei looked at each other, then fell silent.Wu Yan blushed in embarrassment, and muttered after a while: "Didn't I hear someone say that!"

Yo, is this still aggrieved?
"Blanch the skin first, then add a local chicken to stew!"

After Ye Qing finished speaking, all eyes looked at her, shocked, surprised, suspicious, unbelievable...
Everyone was thinking about a question at the same time: isn't she afraid of snakes?How do you know how clearly?

Ye Qing didn't want to explain at first, but he was afraid that he wouldn't explain, so they asked other questions in a hurry, and said bravely: "I heard from Boss Xiong that when you scald the snake, there will be more meat, and there will be more meat with the snake. The native chicken is stewed together, and the soup becomes milky white, which is called 'Dragon and Phoenix Soup', which is delicious."

Xiong Jie owns a restaurant, he only cooks snake soup, I believe he knows it!
Everyone was dubious, especially Wu Yan and Ye Junbei, their gazes on Ye Qing seemed to be fixed and unable to move.

After Ye Qing explained it, he acted like an ostrich, directly ignoring the gazes of these people, and eating sullenly.

When Xu and Zhang Xiu thought of snakes, they felt goosebumps all over their bodies, and they felt extremely uncomfortable.Zhang Xiu was embarrassed to speak, but Xu's was different, she yelled: "You guys can do whatever you like, but don't let the three of us see it, it's pure if you don't see it."

Ye Pingrong was afraid that they would have nightmares at night, so he quickly greeted Ye Junbei and Wu Yan for dinner, and we will talk about the stewed snake soup later.

In the afternoon when Ye Junbei was about to cut the snake's skin, he discussed with Wu Yan, and he did what Ye Qing said - scalding the snake's skin!

After the snake skin was scalded, Ye Junbei dissected and washed the snake's stomach, chopped the snake into sections, and put them in a clay basin.The snake meat is white and tender, with joints, which is not scary at all.

"Junbei, the old hen is back!"

Ye Pingrong came back with an old hen, and started yelling as soon as he entered the yard.

Wu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, then gritted his teeth and handed it to Ye Junbei.He himself can only do errands, these jobs of killing chickens and plucking chicken feathers-he can't!

The father and three cooperated well, two of them killed the chicken, and one boiled the water, and the speed of killing the chicken and plucking the feathers was quite fast.

In half an hour, the snake was slaughtered and the chicken nuggets were chopped. Why is this snake soup stewed?Should it be fried before stewing, or not?

Grandpa, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows.After some discussion, they finally decided to ask Ye Qing to help!
Ye Qing just woke up, walked to the door of the main room and saw that the sun was covered by dark clouds, fearing that it would rain again today, he went back to the backyard and carried a basket on his back to hunt pigweed, and picked some vegetables in the field.

But before she went out, she was stopped by Ye Junbei halfway!
Ye Qing didn't want to cook the soup himself, so he directly told Ye Junbei the secret of stewing snake soup.But men are not good at cooking after all, after listening to Ye Qing's explanation, it was a waste of time to listen to it, after listening to it, he immediately shook his head, not learning anything.

Well, she just made the soup with her own hands for her father's sake!

Seeing that Ye Qing nodded, Ye Junbei grabbed the pannier on her shoulders, whistled by himself, and went to beat the weeds.

Ye Qing went into the kitchen to wash his hands, then asked Wu Yan to light the fire, invited Ye Pingrong to rest, and started to work in the kitchen by himself.

Before stewing the dragon and phoenix soup, the snake meat and hen must be blanched in water with ginger and scallions to remove the foam. This will not only remove the fishy smell, but also make the snake meat and hen emit a special fragrance.

Then use minced green onion and ginger in the pot, cook the rice wine in the pot, add a certain amount of water (there is no fresh soup prepared in advance, you can only use water instead), salt, pepper, after the fire is boiled, then change to a small fire Bring to a simmer on the stove.

Originally, a casserole was used to make soup, but a large pot of snake meat and chicken could not fit in a mere casserole; it would take time to stew them separately, so we might as well stew them in an iron pot.Maybe the taste will be worse, but it will be enough.

The dragon and phoenix soup stewed according to Ye Qing's method can reflect the characteristics of clearness, fragrance and freshness, and it has medicinal value.

Wu Yan smelled the fragrance, salivating, sniffed and said: "Qingqing, it seems to be really better than snake soup!"

"Have you had a drink?"

Wu Yan shook his head, but there was an expectant smile on his face.

"Boss Xiong said that snake meat and hens contain a lot of nutrients, and are especially suitable for people with weak constitutions, insufficient energy and blood, and malnutrition." Ye Qingguan continued after using Boss Xiong's name, "Besides, dragons and phoenixes are auspicious. , nutritious, and auspicious, the best is the best!"

The dragon and phoenix soup was stewed for almost an hour before it was considered to be really stewed. When the lid was lifted, the aroma was overflowing, and the aroma was tangy, and he closed his eyes in speechless enjoyment.

Fragrant!
Really fragrant!

It's so fragrant!

Ye Pingrong sat outside the yard and looked at the fields in the distance. The yellow and orange rice bowed his head humbly, as if beckoning to people that it was time to harvest.

He originally wanted to go to the edge of the field, but the smell in the kitchen was so delicious that he walked to the door of the kitchen in a ghostly manner.

"Qingqing, is the stew ready?"

Hearing his father's voice, Ye Qing poked his head out, nodded to Ye Pingrong and said, "Father, the stew is finished, you go and call mother and sister-in-law to get up, you can drink the soup."

They are afraid of eating snake meat, so can't they just drink soup?

Ye Pingrong sniffed like a child, and turned around every step of the way to call Xu Shi and Zhang Xiu.

As soon as he left, Ye Qing and Wu Yan burst into cheerful laughter in the kitchen.

When Ye Junbei came back with a big basket of pigweed, Ye Qing had just brought the soup bowl to the table.

"Brother, come here!"

Ye Junbei knew that the soup was ready, so he quickly put down the basket to wash his hands and drink the soup.At first glance, it really is soup, not even a little bit of bone residue, not only lamented, but also really clean.

Ye Qing understood Ye Junbei's expression at a glance, and the corner of his mouth slightly twitched.

Feed a spoonful of thick soup into your mouth, it is really delicious!
