Another World Farmer's Story of Farming

Chapter 199 Cooking
The old lady's funny words made Liu Zijun and Bai Xiaoyu laugh secretly, and also made Zhou Hongyan and Liu Baoer blush.

Helpless, Zhou Hongyan stayed in the kitchen in the end, but when the guests are cooking, if you, the master, enjoy it with peace of mind, it is really unreasonable, isn't it?In this way, it can be regarded as an explanation.

Of course, these estimates were also the original intention of the old lady.

Bai Xiaoyu checked the ingredients that Liu Zijun bought, and after confirming that they were correct, he began to direct Liu Zijun to work.

But Liu Zijun went to the main room and found a long bench for his wife to sit at a distance from the door, and then unceremoniously directed Zhou Hongyan to go up and light the fire.

Zhou Hongyan was not pretentious, nor had he done it before, so he obediently went to the stove, and started preparing to light the fire with full posture.

Bai Xiaoyu smiled and said: "It's not done yet, just preparing for work is enough for your third brother to be busy, you should rest first!"

Zhou Hongyan smiled embarrassingly: "Then, let's rest here! When you need to light the fire, the third sister-in-law will tell you!"

"Daughter-in-law, let's get started, how do we deal with this?" Liu Zijun asked Bai Xiaoyu while holding a grass carp.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the big fat fish, thought for a while and said: "Just clean it up according to the usual method, then control the water, remember to remove the head and tail of the fish, and then cut it into sections. The jokes are better, and let everyone see how much you have improved in Cyclamen these days, and whether your sword skills have changed!" Bai Xiaoyu said with a smile, watching Liu Zijun swinging a knife to kill fish.

"Look!" Liu Zijun smiled slightly, and quickly placed the kitchen knife horizontally with his hands, scraping off the scales quickly against the fish scales.Three times, five times and two times, a naked fish appeared in front of the three of them.

Bai Xiaoyu raised his eyes, but thought that Liu Zijun basically did everything in the restaurant by himself, and he killed the fish for making fish balls himself, so it's normal to be able to handle one of these things.

In fact, it was exactly like this. Since arriving at Cyclamen, Liu Zijun has been killing fish every day, and he has already practiced his skills. This is not unusual at this time!

Sure enough, it was the same next time, with a light swipe, the kitchen knife cut the fish apart neatly, and then Liu Zijun stretched out two fingers, bent them, and the viscera in the fish's stomach came out, and his fingers moved on the gills again. Throwing two strings of red crescents aside, one fish is almost done.

According to Bai Xiaoyu's request, remove the head and tail of the fish, and then cut the fish into sections, try to be as big as possible, with the back and belly of the fish on each piece. I have to say that this is the most test of knife skills, but obviously, Liu Zijun passed the test, without any foundation, how could Bai Xiaoyu have the confidence to let him be a chef.

After a piece of fish was cut into pieces, Bai Xiaoyu's face didn't look very good, but Zhou Hongyan couldn't help flattering him and said, "Third Brother, you're not bad at this!"

After he finished speaking, he still looked amazed, as if he saw something he had never seen before. Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. This guy has never seen anything before. This is a bit over the top!
But obviously, Liu Zijun was very useful. He smiled at Zhou Hongyan, then looked at Bai Xiaoyu and said, "Daughter-in-law, what are you going to do next?"

Bai Xiaoyu thought about it, and bought a lot of river fresh and various aquatic products, which are difficult to deal with, otherwise, let's finish all these preparations first, so as not to be in a hurry!

So he said to Liu Zijun: "First put the fish pieces and fish heads, remember to sprinkle salt and rice wine. Then prepare the prawns you just bought. The tails, heads, and All the shrimp lines have gone, take your time, don’t worry!”

Bai Xiaoyu was mainly worried that Liu Zijun didn't cook enough, and it was estimated that he would be slow to make shrimps. After the heads and tails of the prawns were removed, there would not be much left of a single prawn, so to make a dish, he needed a lot of prawns. Let Liu Zijun peel the shrimp slowly.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaoyu's concerns were right. Although Liu Zijun had eaten prawns before, his handling was not as fast as handling grass carp. Several times, Bai Xiaoyu couldn't stand the urge to help .Of course, Bai Xiaoyu didn't succeed in the end.

In the end, Zhou Hongyan got started, and the two big men finally got half a pot of processed shrimp meat.

"Come on, now separate the egg whites, put some salt, and let the shrimps in!" Bai Xiaoyu gave an order, and asked the two to clean up quickly.

Liu Zijun started to beat eggs, while Zhou Hongyan was ordered to bring some tea leaves.By the way, Zhou Hongyan started to boil water.

Then, the prawns are still processed, but this pile is not prawns, but lobsters. These lobsters are all processed when they are bought, and they just need to be washed.So don't have to deal with it so painfully.

Bai Xiaoyu asked Liu Zijun to finish the shrimp quickly, and then started the first dish, which naturally was the grass carp as the main course.

What Bai Xiaoyu meant was that this grass carp is not only delicious, but also pleasant to the ears. The most important thing is, like here, the fish is usually wrapped in batter and fried, or fried, and then directly boiled. .As for Mantangcai Chopped Pepper Fish, it is mainly steamed. It happened to let Mr. Zhou and the others try different flavors. The steamed fish tasted more delicious, and the oil was not particularly strong, so it was more suitable for the elderly to eat.

Soon, Bai Xiaoyu asked Liu Zijun to stir-fry the ingredients first, such as chopped pepper, dried chili, green onion, shredded ginger, etc., and then added some seasonal vegetables, mainly diced carrots and potatoes.When these are almost the same, add some more seasonings, preferably with a stronger taste, and you can start the pot when the taste is good. Put these stir-fried things directly into the plate containing the grass carp pieces, and then start cooking in the large The pot is steaming with water.

When watching the grass carp put into the pot, Bai Xiaoyu thought about it again and said, "Hongyan, do you still have skin jelly?"

The skin jelly here generally refers to a kind of jelly-like thing that will be formed when the weather is cold, such as broth, but as long as it is heated, it will become a thick soup.

Zhou Hongyan thought for a while, then said: "It seems that there is broth, I'll ask grandma!"

Bai Xiaoyu nodded: "Success, hurry up, if there is any, get a bowl and steam it in the pot!"

Soon, Zhou Hongyan came back with a bowl in his hand, obviously, it was the broth.

According to Bai Xiaoyu's instructions, put the broth in the pot to steam, Zhou Hongyan asked with great interest: "Sister-in-law San, is this a dish of seafood and broth, or are you planning to cook two separately?"

"It's just a dish, and you need some broth. If it's chicken soup, that's the best. But broth is also available, anyway, let's try it first!" Bai Xiaoyu said calmly.

But Zhou Hongyan continued: "Are you going to do these three things today?"

Bai Xiaoyu knew what Zhou Hongyan meant, so she revealed the words: "Today, I will make three dishes first, but the third sister-in-law will not only know these three dishes, the main reason is that there are not many of us today, and we can't just eat fish and shrimps. What's more, some ingredients are not easy to buy in this season. There are actually a lot of river fresh seafood. Not to mention that there are thousands of ways to cook this fish. Even the shrimp can be divided into lobster, prawn, and boiled shrimp. , each kind of shrimp is prepared differently. What's more, those crabs, mussels, conch, etc., if you want to cook river and seafood, there are too many dishes, we are not afraid that we will run out of talent!"

Liu Zijun took the opportunity to add a sentence: "That's the reason, don't look at your third sister-in-law who taught me how to make the fish balls before, but there is not only one way to make fish balls. We make white fish balls in restaurants. .Your third sister-in-law made it at home. There are all kinds of them, and the tastes are all different. I think this alone will attract a lot of customers!"

Bai Xiaoyu smiled shyly, knowing that what Liu Zijun was talking about was that she tried to make stuffed fish balls once before, and that time surprised Liu Zijun a lot, only then did she realize that the ones he made and the ones he ate were not the best what!
When Zhou Hongyan heard it, he was immediately surprised: "Sister-in-law San knows how to cook so many dishes?"

In fact, those who think that Bai Xiaoyu is a child of the Bai family will be surprised that a young lady can eat so many novel foods, not to mention that this young lady was picked out by the Bai family in the first place, saying that she is not in good health?
And those who know her true identity, such as Yao Qing, Qin Shuang'er, and Mu Fengchen, will probably also lament that she can cook so many dishes. She may also be able to cook before, but usually she just cooks. Small snacks or something, how can you come up with so many big dishes?

But obviously, there are some questions that they will never get answers to.

Facing Zhou Hongyan's words, Bai Xiaoyu just smiled slightly: "I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I just look at these things."

Liu Zijun glanced at her, but Zhou Hongyan was full of admiration. You know, whether it was the errands that the cyclists came to their family before, or the shop where they left incense, and the restaurant they planned to open now, they all focused on food. And it's all from Bai Xiaoyu's hands. He can make these dishes after reading a book, and he can rely on them to make his life better and better. I have to say that he admires this third sister-in-law.Even some chefs may not be able to do this, right?

Soon, they changed the subject to the meal.

Basically, there is no need to worry about grass carp, the lobster is below.

This is simpler, just a thought, that is spicy, and the indispensable ones are naturally minced green onion, ginger and garlic, then small pepper, pepper, and pepper. Just add some condiments. Of course, the method is very simple. If you really want to make it delicious, the first thing is to get rid of the fishy smell. Rice wine is indispensable. Clean, these are essential.
