This year's New Year's Eve, the Yu family is not planning to return to their hometown of Rao, so the small courtyard is becoming increasingly lively, with laughter and laughter from time to time.
As usual, Rhubarb follows its owner for a walk. It has walked this road thousands of times and remembers clearly where there is an extra pebble. It lifts its hind legs and splashes out a stream of yellow water.
I felt so comfortable that my little eyes narrowed.
"Dahuang, hurry up!" Wu Guoliang shouted from the front.
Dahuang pricked up his ears, turned his head and looked at the corner behind him. The water stains turned into a puddle and spread into a large circle. He stuck out his tongue with satisfaction and took a step forward.
Today is New Year's Eve. Yu Jian did not go to the restaurant and stayed in the small courtyard to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Huang Nuan and Chen Xinyi did not return to Raoxiang. They also brought their grandparents over. Two large round tables were set up in the small courtyard.
Grandma happily directed the juniors to decorate.
In the kitchen, Yu Jian quietly looked at the casserole on the charcoal stove. This was tonight's main dish - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Tang Yuan brought the fruit in and stuffed a red strawberry into her mouth. Yu Jian subconsciously took a bite, and the sudden coldness froze the tip of her tongue, and she shivered suddenly.
Tang Yuan came over and asked, "Are the strawberries sweet?"
Yu Jian glanced at him and said, "Are you very free?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Yuan smiled, he was relieved that Yang Jianxin was here in Lantingxuan. Huang Mao rarely returned to the country, and he wanted to have an authentic New Year's Eve dinner. Tang Yuan obtained Yu Jian's consent, and then
Brought him over.
but--
He didn't leave him idle either, and threw him into Wu Guoliang's kitchen to make desserts. Along with him was Huang Nuan, who had always been curious about him. These two people didn't deal with each other from the moment they met, and they were always talking nonsense.
Meal after meal, each other was unforgiving. Tang Yuan was so upset by the quarrel between them that he simply packed a bag and sent them away together, enjoying himself in peace and quiet.
"Want to help?" He pointed to the casserole that was constantly steaming on the charcoal stove. There was a faint fragrance coming out, lingering in his nose, and when he smelled it again, it dissipated.
He was a little curious. The two earth-yellow objects in front of him were said to be casseroles, but more like pottery pots, with ears on them. The edges of the lids were tightly surrounded by white gauze, leaving a small round hole like a grain of rice.
, steaming out loudly.
Yu Jian cooked this dish because it happened to be the Chinese New Year, and secondly... Huang Nuan was so annoying! Ever since she ate Buddha Jumping Over the Wall in the Magic City, she would have to talk about it in her ears every now and then.
She even used provoking techniques. However, Yu Jian still tried her best. As soon as she agreed, she saw the two best friends high-fiving each other to celebrate the success of their plan.
Moreover, just a few days ago, the two of them brought over a bag full of ingredients from nowhere. Sea cucumbers from Liaodong, imported abalone, fish maw from the south, fish from the north, and unusual fungi and wild mushrooms. In the water,
There were almost everything in the mountains and in the sky, blocking her last chance to refuse.
Okay, let’s do it.
Before that, I also learned from Chen Achun who was far away in Yangcheng. Chef Chen didn't hide any secrets at all. He explained the most important points to her one by one and asked her to make a video and send it to him.
, I am very concerned about the final effect of this full altar of incense.
Stir-fried old chicken, freshly fried pork ribs, and stuffed pig trotters are soft and glutinous. This is the aroma of the first layer of soup base in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall; seafood needs to be soaked and simmered to form the second layer of freshness of the soup base; and there are various other ingredients.
The blessing of fungi-like mushrooms merges into the third layer of soup base. Layers upon layers, and perfect integration, this is the true meaning of Buddha jumping over the wall.
The casserole Tang Yuan saw first was actually a wine jar bought by Yu Jian. It was once filled with mellow and fragrant wine. Even after being washed away, the aroma of the wine had seeped into every crevice of the jar.
Put bamboo strips on the bottom, put the fried duck and chicken ribs into the jar layer by layer. There is no need to add a drop of wine. Use the cleanest layer at the top of Lengxue to turn into water, add it, and then add lotus leaves.
Sealing. There is a constant stream of heat at the bottom, and the soup steam rushes up to the lotus leaves and condenses into balls, then slowly drips. The bamboo strips at the bottom of the altar emit the fragrance of bamboo in the heat, which mixes with the aroma of wine on the walls of the altar, and gradually blends.
Simmer three times in a row. Each time, add a layer of different ingredients until all the ingredients are combined in the entire jar. Seal it with a lid. Pour high-quality white wine on the edge again to let the wine evaporate. Finally, scrub the jar.
Ingredients.
"Ding dong ding dong——" The phone made a series of sounds, interrupting Yu Jian's thoughts. When she looked at the screen, it was a video call from Chef Chen. After picking up the phone, she heard Chen Achun's voice full of joy: "Yu Jian
Girl, your improved method has really improved the level of Buddha jumping over the wall! How did you come up with the idea of using bamboo strips?"
Yu Jian smiled and said: "Isn't it used in all ancient methods of stewing meat? And you said that you always feel that there is something missing in the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall you made. I studied it carefully and it seems that it is missing a hint of the fragrance of bamboo leaves."
Chen Achun was convinced by her now. She called Amitabha several times and grabbed her apprentice to come over to thank her. The eldest apprentice still looked dull and bowed to the camera, saying his sincere thanks.
.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Achun sent a big red envelope.
Just as Yu Jian was about to refuse, a voice came over: "Don't take it back! This is the New Year's money I gave you. You don't have to tell me this method, but if you do, let me remember your kindness forever! I'm not here anymore,
And my apprentice, my apprentice is no longer here, and there are still apprentices of apprentices! I have to give you a longevity tablet..." He was getting more and more exaggerated.
Immortality card?
It’s so off the mark!
Yu Jian hurriedly replied to him: "We are just friendly exchanges between colleagues, and you didn't hide anything from me..."
After hearing this, Chen Achun's expression changed. How could he not hide anything? You must know that every secret dish is the foundation of a chef or even a restaurant. Even if he closes eyes with Yu Yatou again, he will not put his most important
He told her the secret recipe. But Yu Jian's magnanimity really made him feel ashamed.
I can only keep beating the honest disciple: "You must remember Yu Yatou from now on!"
Yu Jian didn't pay attention to such a small incident at all. Tang Yuan, on the other hand, looked at her sideways with a smile on his face.
She is indeed a kind-hearted and beautiful little girl.
The two brothers of the Yu family finally returned home at the last minute before the New Year's Eve dinner. Due to the two chefs, the Yu family's New Year's Eve dinner was a little later than other families, but it did not affect everyone's mood at all.
The wine glasses and chopsticks overlapped each other, creating beautiful pieces of music. During this period, there were constant laughter and admiration...
When a jar of Buddha jumped on the wall and on the table, the atmosphere in the courtyard reached a climax——
