The arrival of Chen Yan and others immediately added a new force.
Although they have no experience in growing vegetables, they still have no problem building a shelf.
Insert the bamboo poles into the soil beside the flower pond, tie the tops together so that they are spaced apart, and then connect them with horizontal bamboo poles to create a neat row of bamboo shelves.
Plants with vines such as cucumbers, loofahs, gourds, melons, beans, gourds, and pumpkins are planted in the flower pond on the south side of the rooftop, while green peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, and other vegetables that do not require scaffolding are planted in the flower pond on the north side.<
/p>
After everything was done, Lucy took a picture of the bamboo pole frame with her mobile phone and sent it to her friend group, excitedly praising this magical way of planting.
It’s unbelievable that vegetables can be grown on such a high rooftop and so many varieties can be grown.
Chen Yan said to her:
"Farming is at our core, and plundering is at the heart of you Westerners. This was decided by our ancestors, so we love peace, but you never have peace."
In fact, Lucy's hometown in Scotland is a little better, but her neighbor Ireland is obviously much more irritable.
It is about to separate from the Commonwealth at every turn, and bloodshed often occurs. From the perspective of Easterners, this is somewhat unbelievable.
Lucy did not deny what Chen Yan said:
"This is a custom that has been formed since the Age of Discovery, and has been passed down from generation to generation to the present... But don't talk about this topic in front of other Europeans, as it will cause disputes."
Of course Chen Yan knew this. The reason why she talked to Lucy about this was because she already regarded this carefree aunt as one of her own.
In the kitchen downstairs, pig intestines are being cooked.
To make fat intestine chicken, the intestines need to be braised briefly first, which not only tastes better, but also tastes more delicious.
Shen Jiayue was standing in front of the air fryer next to her, waiting for the crispy chili inside to be ready.
"Xubao, is the fat intestine chicken easy to make?"
Lin Xu said:
"It's quite simple. It's nothing more than making fried chicken and cooked fat intestines in the same way as boiled fish. The bottom of the pot can be used to stir-fry vegetables."
The exact name of Fatty Intestine Chicken should be Fatty Intestine Chicken Hot Pot or Fatty Intestine Chicken Casserole. It is a dish that is cooked and eaten at the same time. It is spicy and delicious and is the first choice dish for many people to make toothpaste.
Lin Xu washed the chicken twice with salt, rinsed it with clean water, then chopped it into slightly larger pieces and set it aside for later use.
To make fat intestine chicken, in addition to braised fat intestines and roosters, you also need rapeseed oil, lard, hot pot base or dry pot ingredients. In addition, you also need ingredients such as onions, ginger, dried peppers, baby cabbage, tofu soaks, and gluten soaks.
, wide noodles, tofu skin and other side dishes.
There is a wide range of side dishes, you can add them as you like.
Normally, restaurants would put some soybean sprouts, but Lin Xu and his family didn’t like to eat them, so they didn’t prepare this side dish.
In addition to the fat intestine chicken, Lin Xu also used the young ginger and young duck he brought to prepare a ginger duck dish.
With chicken and duck as the main course, and some other dishes, it’s no problem to put together a big table.
It takes about forty minutes to stew the sausages. Lin Xu took advantage of this time to put away all the ingredients, changing the knives that needed to be used, cleaning those that needed to be cleaned, and soaking those that needed to be soaked.
Then he went upstairs to get a piece of dried soy sauce meat, planning to steam it with the baby vegetables he brought.
The fresh flavor of the meat will be absorbed by the baby cabbage during steaming, and the freshness and sweetness of the baby cabbage can also make the meat more delicious.
In addition to soy sauce meat, other bacon, sausages, bacon, etc. can be cooked in this way.
I just finished my work and the crispy peppers made in the air fryer are ready.
Shen Jiayue took out the pot and looked at the red and spicy peppers inside, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Haha, this is not difficult.
From cooking the chili to taking it out of the pot, you can do it yourself every step of the way.
"I am truly worthy of being the executive chef of Lin Kee Food. I have great cooking talent."
The girl murmured a few words as she boasted, then picked up a piece of chili pepper with a kuai, blew it into her mouth, and an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on her face:
"Wow, it's crispy and fragrant, and a little less greasy. It's a great success!"
Lin Xu is currently pounding glutinous rice cake peppers with a garlic mortar. He plans to add the ingredients during the stir-frying step when making fat sausage chicken later to increase the color of the dish and also increase the spicy taste.
After the sausage was marinated, Lin Xu turned off the fire, opened the lid of the pot, and let the sausage inside continue to soak in the stew.
When cooking with sausages, the stewed sausages must be soaked for a while. It is best to let the sausages cool naturally in the stewed soup, so that the flavor can be absorbed and the aroma of the stewed soup can be absorbed into the sausages.
"What to do now?"
Shen Jiayue glanced at Lin Xu curiously and planned to fry the second pot of crispy peppers.
"Make ginger duck first!"
This dish requires tender duck, which Lin Xu has just cleaned and chopped into small pieces.
He heats the oil in a pot, pours the duck meat into the pot and stir-fries it over high heat. This process does not add seasonings or ingredients, and the duck meat is completely stir-fried with the fat in the pot.
Through this kind of stir-frying, the excess water in the duck meat can be stir-fried, and the duck meat can also be made firm and chewy.
As for the peculiar smell of duck meat, it will float out of the pot together with the water vapor and oil smoke, and will not remain in the meat.
In fact, this is very similar to the method of Shandong fried chicken. The meat ingredients are first stir-fried with high-temperature hot oil for a while until the fat in the pot changes from clear to turbid and then to clear.
After the duck meat is fried, add the chopped young ginger into the pot. This young ginger has a strong spicy and umami flavor and can be eaten directly.
The ginger duck uses the unique spicy flavor of ginger, which makes the duck meat delicious and enjoyable.
Continue to stir-fry until the ginger becomes spicy, then add some rice wine along the edge of the pot, stir-fry, and use the volatility of the wine to completely take away the peculiar smell of the duck meat.
Then cook in light soy sauce and other condiments, add a little boiling water, and simmer for a while.
After stewing the duck, Lin Xu took out the fat intestines and cut them into hob pieces.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Then set up another frying pan on the stove next to it. After sliding the pan, pour some rapeseed oil into the pan. When the oil is hot, pour the chicken pieces in and stir-fry.
To make fat intestine chicken, you must first stir-fry the chicken in hot oil until it is cooked through.
This not only makes the fresh flavor of the chicken stronger, but also makes the chicken taste better and will not fall apart or break during the stewing process.
Fatty Sausage Chicken is different from other dishes. The chicken should not be cooked very soft, but should be slightly chewy to make it more delicious.
After the chicken is fried, put it into a large colander and set it aside to control the oil.
The fat in the pot is not poured out, but reheated and a spoonful of lard is added to it.
Heat the oil, add the chopped glutinous rice cake pepper and the prepared onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until red oil comes out, then add a piece of hot pot ingredients and continue to stir-fry.
Stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the original braised pork sausage soup, and simmer over high heat for ten minutes.
The reason for cooking it this way is to make the aroma of the braised soup more intense, and the aroma of the glutinous rice cake pepper and red oil can be better integrated together.
There is no need to season the fat intestine chicken, because the flavor of the stewed soup is prepared, and the hot pot ingredients include salt and other seasonings.
Just put a little sugar to make it fresh.
Ten minutes later, Lin Xu took the leak and knocked out all the residue in the pot.
Add the oiled chicken pieces and fat intestines, and continue to simmer.
Taking advantage of this time, take a casserole and put lotus root cut into sections, tofu soak, gluten soak, day needles, tofu skin and other ingredients into the bottom of the pot.
Pour the boiled chicken intestines and soup into it, put it on the small stove used for shabu-shabu shabu-shabu, bring it directly to the table, and eat it while simmering.
But you can’t eat it yet, there’s still one last step to go.
Lin Xu heated the oil again. When the oil was hot, he washed a small bowl of chili segments and a small handful of red peppercorns with hot water and put them into the oil pan.
Simmer over low heat for a while, wait until the peppers are crispy again, pick up the pot, pour the peppers and fat inside into the fat sausage chicken, and the whole dish is completed.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Shen Jiayue exclaimed. She was not hungry originally, but now she was a little hungry.
The spicy taste, ruddy color, and the greasy sausage and chicken nuggets in the casserole all unknowingly tantalize people's taste buds.
As soon as I smell this smell, I can't help but want to fill up a bowl of rice and eat it in the pot.
Put the lid on the casserole and bring it to the dining table together with the dry boiler used for cooking hot pot. Let it simmer over low heat until everyone comes downstairs and start eating.
After finishing this dish, the ginger duck in the pot is almost done.
The boiling water added has basically dried up, and now there is only some fat left in the pot sizzling.
Lin Xu poured the chopped millet pepper and Erjingtiao into the pot, stir-fried twice, then added the condiments, mixed well and simmered for two minutes, removed from the pot, put it in a dry pot, and heated it in the same way for consumption.
As the sun sets and night falls, dishes are being prepared one after another in the kitchen.
There are oil-fried shrimps made from large green shrimps, steamed soy sauce meat, braised mandarin fish, pot-roasted elbows and other dishes. Both meat and vegetables are available hot and cold. In addition, we also prepared some that are suitable for eating in the fat intestine chicken.
Green vegetables, noodles and other ingredients.
When everyone came down from their work on the roof, they were all attracted by the fragrance.
Chen Meiliang said with a smile:
"Although I just had a meal not long ago, I still can't help but feel hungry when I smell the food Xiaoxu cooked."
Shen Guofu responded:
"Yeah, the smell is simply unbearable...Second brother is here, and today I have to eat the dishes Xiaoxu cooked. I have to accept the wind and wash away the dust."
While he was talking, he took out a jar of Luzhou Laojiao from the cupboard next to the dining room.
The price of this kind of wine served in jars is relatively high. I have been craving for it for a long time, and I was afraid that Han Shuzhen would not let me drink it, so after taking it out, I opened the lid without waiting for Chen Meiliang to say anything.
"Come on, come on, bring the wine bowls over, I'll fill them up for everyone."
After speaking, he said to Shen Jiayue:
"Urge your uncle and uncle, why haven't they arrived yet? Are you thinking that there is good wine at home waiting for you to punish yourself with three drinks?"
I have been to Yinzhou several times, whether during the Chinese New Year or National Day, and all the relatives in Yinzhou have given me a warm welcome.
Now that the relatives from Yinzhou are here, the relatives from the Shen family will naturally also get their seats.
Chen Yan said:
"My dad is stuck on the North Fourth Ring Road Elevated Highway. The traffic police are clearing the way right now and should be there soon."
Shen Jiayue called Han Shuyu and found that her uncle was also blocked on the North Fourth Ring Road Elevated Road, not even far from Chen Yuejin.
Shen Guofu said upon hearing this:
"No wait, no wait, let's start first."
He held the jar and carefully began to pour out the wine. Cui Qingyuan, Lin Hongqi, Chen Meiliang, Ren Jie, Lin Xu, all men, came first to get a bowl of wine.
"Who among you girls will drink? I'll fill it up for you."
Chen Yan looked at Lucy and asked:
"Want to try white wine?"
Lucy quickly shook her head:
"no!no!no!"
She once naively thought that white wine was similar to red wine, or at most the same as vodka, but she found that white wine was more pungent, and it felt like it was on fire after drinking it.
Foreigners are not used to drinking white wine at all, so they are still suitable to drink red wine.
What's more, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yuanyuan are busy opening a bottle of Rémy Martin xo. This wine is something Lucy cannot afford abroad. Now that she has this opportunity, she naturally wants to try it.
Aunt Lucy, who has lived in a capitalist society since childhood, came to China and found that she had unknowingly become a proletarian, and everyone around her was a capitalist.
The world is turned upside down!
After opening the wine bottle, the table was quickly divided into three factions, the male liquor faction, the xo faction led by Han Shuzhen, Chen Meijuan, Lucy and others, and the beverage faction headed by Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele.
Chen Yan is a typical fence-sitter. After pouring a glass of XO, she poured herself a glass of apple cider vinegar that Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele drank.
The reason is that apple cider vinegar is good for beauty, and she doesn’t want to miss any opportunity to become beautiful.
Old Mrs. Shen didn't drink or drink. The old man asked Lin Xu to serve a bowl of rice porridge. Her dinner was relatively simple, and rice porridge and side dishes would solve the problem.
"You can eat as you should. After I finished my porridge, I went to play with Dundun. He just came downstairs and took me to his room for a walk."
The old lady took a sip of rice porridge and ate it with vegetables on the table.
Don’t eat too greasy dinner, it’s better to have something lighter.
Shen Jiayue took a sip of apple cider vinegar to promote digestion, then picked up a piece of stewed sausage from the pot and put it into her mouth.
You can taste the oily texture of fatty sausage in your mouth, as well as the spicy taste and refreshing umami.
This umami flavor comes from the chicken.
The sausage is fragrant and the chicken is fresh enough. When the two are combined together, not to mention the fresh aroma, it is super enjoyable to eat in your mouth.
"Wow, this sausage is delicious."
Shen Jiayue took a bite and unconsciously picked up the rice and started eating it.
I originally planned to eat vegetables for a while and then eat rice, but after eating the fat intestines, I felt that if I didn't take a bite of rice, I wouldn't be able to taste the deliciousness of the fat intestines.
This is the charm of cooking. With this kind of dish, the rice seems to shrink by half out of thin air, making it very difficult to eat. After a few mouthfuls, the whole bowl of rice is actually eaten.
While she was competing with the Fat Sausage Chicken, Geng Lele was devouring the ginger duck.
The spiciness of young ginger is mixed with the same spiciness of Erjingtiao and millet pepper, making the duck meat taste spicy, refreshing, oily and delicious.
Eat it with rice and it feels really satisfying.
"Sister Yue, try this duck. It's so addicting and filling. I didn't like ginger in the past, but this kid can't stop eating it."
Geng Lele was trying to sell her a meal, but Shen Jiayue gave her the following:
"Try the fat intestine chicken and add rice to it. I didn't plan to have dinner originally, but today I will at least start with two big bowls of rice..."
Lucy can't get used to such spicy dishes. She is currently eating fried shrimp made by Lin Xu. She thinks this kind of shrimp is very delicious. The shrimp shell is crispy and the shrimp meat is fresh and tender. It is more enjoyable than seafood.<
/p>
Chen Yan was mumbling:
"Let Xiao Qiqi and Xiao Doudou come, they are actually embarrassed. Tomorrow I will let Xiao Qi see this table of dishes, and she will definitely make her slap the table and scream regret!"
Chen Yuanyuan said:
"I went with my boyfriend. Maybe I'm eating dumplings at Master Qi's house now."
Northerners like to make dumplings. No matter when they encounter a happy event or a new year, they will make a meal of dumplings to celebrate.
Today Zeng Xiaoqi went to Qi Siming's house. It is said that Lao Qi also prepared dumplings, but they were not ordinary dumplings, but meat swallows, which are more famous in Fujian cuisine.
The so-called meat swallow refers to a delicacy made of completely flattened lean pork as dumpling wrappers and then stuffed with dumpling fillings.
Because this kind of dumpling is full of meat inside and outside, it will naturally taste more delicious.
Chen Yan took a piece of chicken from the casserole and ate it:
"What about Xiaodoudou? Why aren't you here?"
Chen Yan and Ren Jie got off the car early, put the car at home, changed out of their cycling clothes, and then drove to the North Fourth Ring Road, so they didn't know much about everyone's movements.
Chen Yuanyuan was burned by her fat intestines, and she fanned her mouth with her hand before saying:
"Yang Lin has a day off today. The two siblings went to eat to their stomachs. By the way, I met someone Yang Lin was chatting with online."
Geng Lele came over as soon as he heard this:
"Online dating?"
Chen Yuanyuan said:
"Not really, we are high school classmates, but we haven't contacted each other for several years. I accidentally found out in a classmate group that both of us work in the capital, so we chat occasionally. We should be chatting well now, otherwise I wouldn't let Mr. Dou visit.
."
Shen Jiayue had finished a bowl of rice now, and she asked:
"Since we are meeting offline, why not choose a high-end place? It's so informal to have a belly full of food."
Chen Yuanyuan smiled:
"That girl is the cashier of a belly shop."
Tsk, that’s it.
While chatting, Chen Meiliang looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said:
"Daughter, you know other people's feelings so well, when will you find one? How about I go back and find your high school teacher and ask him to create a classmate group, and you can search among your classmates?"<
/p>
Sister Yuanyuan immediately regretted that she shouldn’t have talked about such gossip.
Alas, I haven’t eaten with the elders for a long time, and I have forgotten the code of silence for unmarried people at the dinner table. I made a mistake, and I will remember it in the future!
She lowered her head and took a mouthful of rice and said:
"I'll make money first and then talk about it. When I buy a small house in the capital, I'll talk about getting married. There's no rush."
Just as Chen Meiliang was about to say a few words about her daughter, Chen Yuejin and his wife, Han Shuyu, arrived. Chen Yuanyuan quickly got up and opened the door, interrupting her father's spell to urge the marriage.
When the two relatives went upstairs, the Lin family became even more lively.
Shen Guofu stood up and started pouring wine, and kept saying that he would be punished with three drinks.
Chen Yuejin and Han Shuyu greeted Mrs. Shen respectively, then sat down and kept talking about the traffic jam.
I originally planned to come early, but ended up wasting time due to traffic jams and waiting for guests.
After the wine was poured, the two of them raised their glasses and began to punish themselves.
Chen Yan’s mother Shen Guofang looked at this scene and said:
"Okay, you have found a reason to drink. You guys get together and you have to get drunk to be satisfied...Xiaojie, you and Xiaoxu, don't imitate them."
After finishing her rice porridge, Mrs. Shen got up and went to the living room. She saw Dundun lying on the sofa watching TV, so she sat over and watched TV with the little guy.
"Meow~"
Dundun turned over and rubbed his head against the old lady. Like a spoiled child, he watched the bears coming and going with the old lady...
