"It's almost summer now. Where can I get the ice cubes? There may be some in the icehouse of the palace, but those are not something ordinary people can afford!"
The diners watching outside began to discuss in low voices, and then all their eyes fell on Li Qiang. He carried a bamboo basket to the vegetable selection area and only selected some red beans and fruits.
When I arrived at the chef's counter, I saw him chopping the fruit, stirring it in the pot, and adding some sugar from time to time.
"What is he doing?" People around him started talking.
Mr. Liao also had a puzzled look on his face, "If you add sugar to the fruit, can it be made into jam? But isn't jam meant for dessert? Could it be that the dish being tested today is the same dessert?"
It takes time to make jam, so Liao Lao looked at Dongmenyan.
The dish Dongmen Yan cooked today is quite famous, and it can be regarded as one of the famous dishes of the Dongmen family.
"Moon over the Qingming River" is a dish that Mr. Li has had the pleasure of seeing before, but has never tasted it.
If you can see it being done with your own eyes today, of course you have to look carefully!
Xia Jin also looked at him, and was very interested in the name of the dish. She thought it had something to do with the Qingming Festival.
I saw that Dongmenyan walked to the material selection area and selected Chengfen, glutinous rice and mugwort. These mugworts are the most delicate parts picked during the Qingming Festival and have been stored in the underground vegetable cellar, although they are not as fresh as when they were first picked.
, but still fresh and tender.
Dongmen Yan selected some relatively fresh parts, and only took the sharp parts, and began to grind them carefully.
After grinding and filtering, add the glutinous rice and other ingredients into the mixture and knead it into a dough.
"He wants to join the Youth League?" Xia Jin guessed.
"It's not that simple. Chef Xia, keep reading!" Mr. Liao stroked his beard.
Xia Jin continued to look and saw Dongmen Yan kneading the green dough balls and then starting to make the filling. Usually when making green dough balls, most of them use sweet red bean paste.
But the ingredients Dongmen Yan chose were an abalone and freshly picked king oyster mushrooms. Finally, he selected some mustard greens and started making soup.
"Isn't he going to use these to make Qingtuan stuffing?"
Although some people also make Qingtuan into a salty dish, this is the first time I have seen it done like this by Dong Menyan!
After a while, the soup was ready. Dongmen Yan took out the ingredients, cut them into thin strips, mixed them and wrapped them in green dumplings.
On the other side, Li Qiang is cooking jam seriously. So far, this is the fifth jar. He has also made some coconut jelly and jelly, and of course taro balls.
Xia Jin taught him these things last night. As long as he follows the steps, he will not go wrong!
After making the last jam, Dong Menyan was almost done and it was time to plate it.
I saw him putting the steamed green dumplings on a plate, and then pouring the golden abalone juice into the middle of the plate, dotted with a little green mint leaves, like a piece of green grass surrounding a bright moon, which actually corresponds to
its name.
After it was done, Dongmenyan looked at Li Qiang next door and saw that he had taken out a piece of ice from nowhere, took it in his hand and threw it up. He heard a few clapping sounds, and the ice cube fell on the plate.
Crushed ice.
"So fast!"
"What just happened!"
"How did he do that!"
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. It's a pity that there is no rewind device in this world, otherwise their jaws would definitely be dropped.
When Xia Jin taught Li Qiang how to use the Ice Soul Claw yesterday, she was worried that Li Qiang would not be able to adapt to it. Unexpectedly, he only tried it once and he was already able to use it freely.
With one night's practice, freezing a piece of ice with super powers is not a problem.
After placing the crushed ice on a plate, add coconut jelly and jelly, top with jam, garnish with red beans and taro balls, add a serving of shaved ice, and you're done!
This operation left everyone confused.
"Is this food edible?"
"Is it ice cubes, jam, and red beans? It looks weird, like a child playing house!"
People around him were talking in low voices, and even Mr. Liao felt it was inappropriate.
"Chef Xia, why don't you cook it yourself? I believe Mr. Dongmen will sell it to me to save face!"
Xia Jin shook his head, "Old Liao, please eat before we talk!"
Li Yu was somewhat interested. After all, he had worked as a waiter here for a month and knew something about Xia Jin.
Regarding the reputation of the Food God Hall, she would not do anything that she was not sure of.
"Bring the dishes here and try them!" he said first.
"I'm looking forward to Young Master Dongmen's 'Moon Over the Qingming River'!" Qu Linjie raised his chin, disdainfully talking about shaved ice.
Instead, he glanced at Xia Jin, looking like he was waiting to see her fall.
The Dongmen family sent Dongmen Yan here to regain the Dongmen family's undefeated honor. Winning the competition this time will prove that the Food God Hall cheated on the day of the food festival.
It would be better to put all the blame for Dongmen Qian's death and Zhang Heng's assassination on Xia Jin, and use Dongmen Yan's hand to kill Xia Jin!
Qu Rongjie was making a small calculation in her mind, as if her plan had been more than half successful, a sneer could not help but appear on her lips!
The two delicacies were brought to the table, and they were tasted one by one in order. The first one to taste was Li Yu, who was sitting in the first place.
He picked up a green dumpling, opened his mouth and took a bite.
I thought it was just an ordinary youth group, but I was stunned the moment I entered!
The moment you bite the skin of the green dumpling, a stream of soup gushes out from it and fills your mouth in an instant. The fresh flavor includes the crispiness of mustard greens and the tenderness of king oyster mushrooms, forming a unique texture and taste.
's feast.
It's as if this mouthful puts you under the rain during the Qingming Festival, standing on the fields of mugwort leaves, looking at the rivers and lakes, the sunrise and sunset, and then a cool wind blows in your face, making you close your eyes comfortably.
, fell into that wonderful picture.
Li Yu couldn't help but sigh: "The moon on the Qingming River is indeed worthy of its reputation and delicious!"
After finishing the green dumplings, he used a spoon to pick up a spoonful of the abalone soup inside. The moment he took his mouth, the cool fragrance and the deliciousness of the abalone shocked his spirit.
Then I felt that my whole body became warm, as if I came back from sweeping the tomb during the Qingming Festival, and the dampness dissipated, leaving only a warm feeling of satisfaction.
Seeing Li Yu's eyes light up under the mask, Old Man Li couldn't help but look forward to it. He hurriedly picked one up and put it in his mouth, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Seeing this, Qu Rongjie also ate one.
"Master Dongmen's cooking skills are superb. It's my honor, Qu Rongjie, to taste it!"
Seeing his praise like this, the diners watching the excitement outside had already begun to swallow their saliva.
How delicious this is!
