"Be careful, don't move around, I'll make tea for you."
After staying in the hospital for a day of observation, the "blind" Qiyuanwu finally returned home. Qing saw Liuli carefully holding his hand, leading him to the small square table, and then immediately ran to the kitchen to cook water and make tea.
I was willing to stay in the hospital for two more days, but I was disgusting the food there and the water quality was not good.
"It's true that the home is comfortable!" Qiyuanwu stretched out, of course he didn't sit honestly, and turned to the second floor. When he got down, the circle of gauze on his head had been taken off and he put on a pair of sunglasses.
Well, it feels uncomfortable to wrap a circle of gauze around his forehead. He has long wanted to change it, but temporary blindness is not total blindness, but still has a sense of confusion. He also needs something to block the light, otherwise he will have to keep his eyes closed, let alone
Comfortable.
Qing saw that Liuli had made a good tea and said unhappily: "Why are you running around? What if you fall and get hurt!"
Qiyuanwu said without any attention: "This is my family. I remember everything there is, how many steps you have. What are you afraid of."
"That's right, you should be careful." Qingjian Liuli poured him tea and was cautious, allowing him to enjoy the treatment of giant pandas.
Qiyuan giant panda picked up the tea bowl, smelled the smell first, then blew and took a sip, making a moan with satisfaction. But he hadn't been home for almost two days. Qing saw that Liuli couldn't sit down and drink tea.
Hurry up and remove the dust again, otherwise some dog will definitely complain after a while.
While she was dragging the vacuum cleaner around the living room, she asked curiously: "What does blindness feel like?"
"True blindness is definitely not a good thing. In the future, blind people will ask me for help if they have something to do. I want to give them a 20% discount, but only say briefly blindness. After anxiety, there is a sense of peace of mind. If your eyes cannot see, it will be easier to examine your heart.
, The view of many things has changed because of this." Qiyuan Wu drank tea and pondered, "It's hard to say, it's hard to describe a feeling in words. It's the first time I've encountered such a thing."
Qingjian Liuli thought that feeling, but she didn't get it out, and her hands continued to dust off. Qiyuanwu drank tea for a while, got up and swayed into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and started to churn, and took out the ingredients to smell it from time to time.
Seeing Liuli quickly left the work at hand, she ran into the kitchen and said, "What are you doing? You'd better go and sit down!"
After not going home for a day, Shi Yuan Wu was reclassifying the ingredients and said casually: "The food in the hospital is so bad. I haven't eaten well for a day. Now it's past four o'clock, so I want to think about what to eat tonight."
Oh, I'm hungry, it's normal. This guy is quite picky. The hospital's nutritious meals are obviously delicious, and this guy only eats a little bit every time.
Qing Jian Liuli immediately went to wash her hands and asked, "What do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
"Are you?" Qiyuan Wu tilted his head, his expression not very certain.
"I've been studying for more than a month, so it should be fine... right?" Qingjian Liuli was not very confident, but she couldn't cook even if Qiyuanwu was blind.
"What's the point of being used for more than a month? It's put in a serious restaurant. I'm still washing radish mud at the door for more than a month. I can't even get in the kitchen door." Qi Yuanwu continued to churn the ingredients, obviously not trusting her, "I said before,
Blindness doesn’t affect my normal life, you don’t actually have to take care of me.”
"I must take care of you, and I can't ignore you." Qingjian Liuli muttered, "You have to cook if you can't see it. If you get burned or accidentally overturned the oil pan, how dangerous it is, I'll do it.
Well, at most you can command me next to you."
"You have to do this?" Qiyuanwu confirmed, "No need to force me, you really don't have to worry about me."
"Don't be stubborn, you can rest well during this period. Just ask me to do something if you have anything to do." Qing saw that Liuli was working hard and was preparing to be a giant panda breeder for six weeks. Which giant panda in Qiyuanwu is this giant panda
Made of Chow Chow's makeup.
Qiyuanwu looked like he couldn't do anything about you and sighed: "Okay, then you can do it, but your level... don't think about the difficult cooking, I will guide you to make some simple cooking.
, It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to further improve your cooking skills and strive to become a qualified assistant as soon as possible."
"I know, I'm still so long-winded when I'm blind." Qing saw Liuli muttering unhappily, then leaned into the refrigerator, a little excited about being alone for the first time, "What do you want to eat?"
"If you want to use fool-like operations, it will taste good. Seafood and river food are the best choice. Now it's May. It's time to steam clams tonight." Qiyuan Wu thought about it and pulled a piece of kitchen paper and wrote down one
Address, "Go to this store to buy sand clams, buy more, just say I want it, just let him keep the account."
"Okay, I'll go right now!" Qingjian Liuli looked at the address and immediately set off to purchase fresh ingredients.
She left, Qi Yuanwu took off his sunglasses and rubbed his eyes, went back to the living room and continued to drink tea. The aquatic products store on the commercial street was not far away. More than ten minutes later, Qing Jian Liuli came back with a large bag of sand clams, and saw her slightly on her forehead.
Khan said, "I bought it back. The boss is very good. I chose it for you. They are all very big."
Qiyuanwu got up and smelled it, picked up another sand clam and pinched it, nodding and said, "It's really good quality. It's not convenient for me for a while. I'll leave it to you in the future."
"Don't worry, just leave it to me." Qingjian Liuli carried the sand clam into the kitchen and asked curiously, "What should I do next?"
"First wash the sand clams. Come on, go and cook rice first, add some sesame oil and salt to soak sand clams." Qiyuanwu stood there and directed Qingjian Liuli to work. This is what
The effect he wanted in the end was that he could just talk about his family's affairs. He was not tired at all.
Qing Jian Liuli had a little basic skills for more than a month, so she quickly cooked the rice and soaked the sand clams. Qi Yuanwu directed her to heat the pot, stir-fry the garlic with a little oil, and put it in the sand clams.
The dish is made with rice wine and fermented butter, then cover and simmer over high heat.
These operations are very simple. Qingjian Liuli completed them without any difficulty and said strangely: "That's all?"
Qiyuanwu nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine. The juice from the sand clams will form steam. Steam yourself and wait until the sand clams open their mouths and you can get out of the pot."
Kiyomi Liuli couldn't help but sigh, "What a simple dish!"
"It's really simple, it's just right for you to go through the two swords." Qiyuan Wu smiled and said, "There are only three core elements, clams, wine and garlic. The flavor of clams with sand clams is richer and unique. You can try it in the future.
This method can be used for clams such as sand white, 600, clams, etc.
The wine and ingredients can also be replaced. Use garlic, butter and rice wine. The flavor will be more Japanese-French-style, with rice aroma and a more savory texture. Use garlic, olive oil and white wine. The flavor will be more Italian.
The style is rich in fruity aroma, but the taste is slightly sweet and sour. With garlic, lard and flower carving, the flavor will be Chinese, sweet and salty, and the taste will be more complex and changeable."
After a pause, he added, "I personally prefer the Chinese style, but you can't drink alcohol. The dish with Huadiao and wine will contain slightly alcohol, so we can only choose to use rice wine."
Oh, it turns out that it is just a simple dish, and there are so many things to pay attention to!
Qingjian Liuli became more knowledgeable and remembered these practices in his heart. After Qi Yuanwu said these words, the steam was boiling and the sand clams opened their mouths one after another. He immediately directed Qingjian Liuli to turn to a small fire and said:
"That's all. A basic wine-steamed clam has been completed and can be eaten now, but it can only satisfy the common people's mouths. If you want to deal with old diners, we can adjust its flavor wheel carefully."
Qing saw that Liuli was about to serve the plate on the table, and heard this and said strangely: "What is the flavor wheel?"
Although Qiyuan Wu used Qingjian Liuli as a coolie, he did not hide his own personal information when teaching her. This was actually her real "salary". She asked her to use a small plate to pick up a sand clam and taste it, and she also tasted it herself.
One, while tasting, said: "Just now, the taste consists of a variety of flavors, the most significant fresh sweetness comes from the sand clam itself, which is a unique umami flavor of seafood and river food, accounting for about 50% of the taste;
The second is garlic flavor, which comes from stir-fried garlic slices; the salty flavor of sea water is also from sand clams, because there is this salty sea water, this dish does not require salt or just a little salt.
The two account for about 30% of the total taste ratio;
Again, there are the ester aromas, rice fat aromas and oil fermented aromas, which come from cooking wine and butter, accounting for about 15%; finally, it is the turn of more subtle flavors, such as nut flavors, cucumber flavors, seaweed flavors and wine sweet flavors,
They come from sand clams themselves and cooking wine, accounting for about 5%.
These flavors are mixed together and account for different proportions. This dish has a unique flavor wheel that forms its unique taste.”
Qingjian Liuli listened to him and savored the basic wine-steamed clams, her eyes slowly narrowed.
Strange, apart from being delicious, why didn’t I taste so much?
It does have the sweetness of seafood, and the garlic flavor and saltiness are also a bit. Where are the other flavors? Or is it a wheel? Didn’t I eat the same dish?
But in order not to look too stupid, she savored it for a while and suddenly realized: "So this is the flavor wheel, I understand!"
Qiyuanwu nodded, tasted the soup slightly, and pondered: "It's good to understand. As for this dish, I personally think the overall fresh and sweet taste is too heavy and not suitable. We should find a way to balance it.
.”
Qingjian Liuli immediately said, "Okay, how should we balance?"
"The most common method is to add vanilla." Qiyuanwu taught patiently and was very tempted. "What vanilla should you use to balance the taste with the current state of this dish?"
"Uh..." Kiyomiya Liuri thought for a while and carefully tentatively, "How about coriander?"
"Corana is not good." Takeshi Nihara immediately objected, "Corana is warm and fragrant, and it is thick and dull. For the current thick flavor wheel, there is almost no balance or enhancement effect. You need to think about it again."
"Where is the scallion?"
"no."
"How about chili?"
"It's for you to fine-tune, not for you to destroy."
It made Qingjian Liuli feel a little unhappy when she pouted. She thought this guy was really a sensible thing and was already delicious. Isn’t it all over just sprinkle coriander? If you don’t want to eat coriander, just tell me.
Ask what you are doing!
She gave in and said, "I don't know, it's delicious now, I don't know what else to add!"
Qiyuan Takeshi was also disappointed and sighed: "Add some basil, the basil has strong volatile properties and shows a spicy feeling, lilac, fennel and herbal fragrance, bright and fresh, just suitable for balancing the current heavy flavor wheel of this dish.
Whether to add or not is two dishes, and you are really unwilling to use your brain at all. In this life, you can only watch other people's recipes to cook. It's difficult to improve, and there is no need to think about innovation. It's just a matter of being the best.
The life of a second-rate chef.”
"Tsk, sprinkle some basil and say so much nonsense." Qing saw that Liuli was very dissatisfied, and murmured in a low voice to find the basil and sprinkle some in it.
What's wrong with a second-rate chef? Don't you have to rely on a second-rate chef for your meal now? If you don't feel good, go back to the hospital to have a nutritious meal!
It's such a good thing. Others are serving you with all their hearts and still talking like this.
Wait until your eyes are gone, and you will be killed with one punch!
Qing saw that Liuli was kind enough to take care of him, and he had so much trouble, so he was very upset. He continued to scold him in his heart, and brought a large plate of steamed clams with him back to the living room, took tableware and served rice, and followed Qiyuanwu's request.
After picking some pickled side dishes and changing to a pot of tea, I sat down at the small square table and said angrily: "Eat!"
Qiyuan Wu didn't care about her. He picked up the chopsticks and didn't need her help to pick up the clams. He sucked the meat and soup into his mouth, and sighed again: "It's not delicious, it's old."
Haven't you been talking about it all the time, can you cook it?
Seeing that Liuli was too lazy to pay attention to him, Qing tasted it on her own and snorted a little.
Let's put your bullshit second-rate chef, it's so delicious, it's enough to sell it to the restaurant, but this guy seems to make some sense. After adding basil, the taste suddenly became a little refreshing, and it's a little spicy and fragrant.
Making the original umami flavor of clams lively is much better than the basic ones.
She hesitated for a moment, and felt that she could not be angry. She should learn how to use vanilla ingredients. She hummed and said, "You have a lot of things to do, hurry up and have a good meal. I will do it better next time. Let me tell you,
What kind of herbs should be used for what dishes...that, what is the herbs?"
Qiyuanwu didn't stop eating. This is better than the nutritional meals in the hospital. He is willing to teach her while eating, and said: "Vanilla is herb and spices. There is no obvious difference between them. It only depends on how to use them in cooking.
When using spices, it is made to be the inner, basic flavor and stable in the cuisine. When added to the end of the cooking, it is the herb, which has an external, decorative flavor to balance,
Rich flavor wheel.”
After a pause, he seemed to feel that Qingjian Liuli didn't understand very well, and gave an example, "For example, the steamed clams we are eating now, garlic is used as spices, but if we make white cut meat, cut it in white
After the meat is finished, drizzle a little garlic paste. At this time, you are exercising the 'herb' attributes of garlic, pursuing its spicy aroma for a moment, and stimulating appetite."
Qingjian Liuli suddenly realized: "So that's how it is divided, and the onions are similar? The last time you made the onions and sea cucumbers, the onions are spices? When making the sauce and stir-frying meatballs, a little bit of scallion was sprinkled after it was released.
When is vanilla used?”
"It's almost the same. The onion is a herb. The flavor is gentle and has a wide range of universality. It is more suitable for decorating sauce-flavored dishes." Qiyuanwu thought that it was not appropriate for her to give an example. After all, some people eat onion and sea cucumbers with a special diet of onion.
Yes, it's different to say whether it's considered spices, but the basic meaning is correct.
Qingjian Liuli scooped the soup and poured it on the rice, and quickly stewed the rice. He felt like he had learned something again. Is it so much to cook casually? She said vaguely: "Let me tell me more about what kind of cooking is usually done.
What herbs should be used?"
Qi Yuanwu just said casually, and he said it was a bunch of skewers, from nutmeg to onions, eighty-eight categories, but as he said that he stopped talking, tilted his head and listened, dissatisfied, "You are
Do you think I'm blind and don't know how many bowls of rice you have eaten?"
Cut, the dog's ears are so good!
Qing Jian Liuli regretfully put down the spoon serving the rice and was about to go back and buy a larger bowl by herself. This kind of small bowl always feels like it is not full when you eat it, and it will be gone in three or five bites. Even if you have good dishes, you won’t feel happy.
…………
Supper time passed quickly, and the leisure time after supper was still the same. It would not prevent Qiyuanwu from reading the book if he was blind. He could actually touch the handwriting on the book with his fingers, and he did not lose the greatest joy of daily life. When Qing saw Liuli
He accompanied him by self-tutoring, changing tea and getting some fruits for him from time to time, continuing to take care of him as a giant panda, and compiling the vanilla method into a booklet to prepare for the sudden training of cooking during this period.
Both of them had something to do, and it was almost half past ten. Qi Yuanwu stretched out and put down the book and said strangely: "Aren't you going back yet?"
Qing Jian Liuli looked up at her watch and suddenly got up, but when she got up, she became entangled and said hesitantly: "It's a bit late, but...what do you do if I go back?"
In theory, she should go home to sleep, but now Qiyuan Wu is blind, and she is a little worried when she goes home. What if something happens to him at night?
But I feel a little embarrassed to sleep on his side. What should I do?
Sorry, I'm late. It snowed heavily here today, and I'm going home all the way... I'll change the typo in a while.
