Yu Jian came out of the back room, and there was a big quarrel between the big one and the small one. There was also a yellow dog that was not too big of a deal. It barked once on the left and barked twice on the right. It seemed to be trying to stop the fight, but it seemed to be secretly stirring up trouble.
"Okay! You guys who are celebrating the Chinese New Year, please calm down." Yu Jian shouted with her hands on her hips and her eyes rounded.
Tang Yuan immediately kept silent and smiled.
Only Yu Yuan was unconvinced. With a jerk of his head, the tiger tried to bypass him and rush towards the giant bag behind him.
"Xiaoyuanzi——" Yu Jian called again.
Yu Yuan stopped, his chest rose and fell violently, and he pursed his lips: "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat!"
Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows, oh, you are quite brave!
Yu Jian was made to laugh and cry by them. Tang Yuan was already so old. When he was with Yu Yuan, he always teased him unconsciously. Every time, the little guy looked like he was crying or not. The key is,
Yu Yuan still enjoys this way of getting along. He is really... speechless!
Rolling her eyes, Yu Jian waved. She was just thinking about how to take out the stove when suddenly she came: "You're just in time, help me take out the big carbon stove from the storage room."
Tang Yuan got the order and went to work. As soon as he moved his front legs, Yu Yuan's little fat hand reached into the bag, took out a slender wooden stick, and looked at the eight red candies on it.
Hawthorn said proudly: "You still want to stop giving it to me? Hum hum——"
In this winter, the best ritual is to roast meat.
Among the large bag of ingredients given by Lao Wu, there were several fresh geese. They were not ingredients that are usually delivered to restaurants. They looked like new varieties that were about to be introduced. The meat was plump and tender, the body was huge, and the belly was full of geese.
A dab of goose fat is a clear yellow color, perfect for grilling meat.
She had chopped the fat goose into large pieces. She used the ancient method in "Essentials for Qi Min" to mash the vinegar, pickled cucumber, scallions, ginger and orange peel, Sichuan pepper and other ingredients, and mixed them with the goose meat.
After marinating for a while, chop it again. Thread the goose meat on a bamboo pole, spread the egg white evenly on the meat skewers, wait for a while, and then spread the remaining egg yolk on it.
Tang Yuan had already lit a fire on the long charcoal stove and put on Yu Jian's usual stone baking pan. Don't ask him how he knew, he had a keen eye for observation, not to mention that he was looking at his sweetheart.
"Smart!" Everything was ready, and Chef Tang even got a compliment for nothing, but he was overjoyed.
The meat needs to be grilled quickly over a high fire, until the outer layer of the skewers is coated with egg yolk and becomes charred, and the meat inside is cooked. Yu Jian fanned the fan to make the flames stronger, and kept flipping the bamboo skewers to make the flames more intense.
Each side is heated evenly.
Gradually, the original aroma of the goose meat is stimulated, including the clear color of orange peel and the numbing aroma of Sichuan peppercorns.
"Gululu..." Tang Yuan's stomach growled at the right time, his expression changed, and he quietly touched his abdomen with one hand.
After that, I left in a hurry, so I drank a glass of water hastily and didn't even eat breakfast.
This is very embarrassing.
Yu Jian glanced at him: "Are you hungry?"
Chef Tang was embarrassed: "No... no... right..." Just as he finished speaking, his stomach let out an unsatisfactory growl. This time, Chef Tang was as calm as ever, and his face turned suspiciously pink.
When he lowered his head, a skewer of steaming goose meat was stretched out in front of his eyes. Looking up, the little girl said solemnly: "Help me taste it. Is it salty or bland?"
Tang Yuan took it, a smile overflowed from the corners of his lips, he opened his lips slightly, blew in the hot air, and took a gentle bite.
The not particularly beautiful surface of the goose meat was bitten open by sharp teeth. After a crisp "click" sound, a fragrant aroma spurted out. The goose meat was still bright in color, but the color was slightly aggravated. It changed from white and tender to
A warmer yellow color. Each piece of goose meat has a piece of goose skin on it. The juice bursts with one bite, the skin is crispy and the meat is rotten. The collagen mixed with the aroma of meat fat makes people appetizing.
Chef Tang rarely eats such market delicacies, and always feels that eating skewers is not in line with his elegant nature. Now he understands that the reason why he doesn't eat is because he doesn't eat anything that makes him feel delicious!
If Ah Jian makes skewers for him, he will never tire of eating them!
"How is it?" the little girl asked him with her round eyes open.
Chef Tang wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth and seemed to ponder deeply for a moment before saying: "It's very delicious!" However, when he thought of something, he asked again, "You said it's a New Year's gift, but it's not allowed to be baked and eaten.
Is it the best?"
Yu Jian smiled mysteriously: "Of course not! Sizzling meat when eaten hot is one kind of flavor, and eating it cold is another kind of flavor. When the surface is dried and the egg white protein solidifies, it will wrap the meat tightly like an eggshell.
If it ferments again in the remaining temperature, it will taste like aspic."
Chef Tang simulated the taste in his mind and suddenly had an idea: "Just give my sister's portion to me later." He went back and divided the portion again, then gave Tang Jingling a little taste.
That’s it.
Yu Jian glanced at him, clearly knowing his little thoughts.
Another item in the annual gift is pastries. Many traditions in the capital are from the Liangjiao of Wu Kingdom, and this pastry gift box is no exception.
This glutinous rice cake is the most traditional New Year food. Grind mung beans into powder, mix with flour and mix evenly. Knead into dough and knead out small dough. Then press the small dough into half thumb-width strips, sprinkle with boiled
Take the bloomed mung beans and fry them in a pan.
The fried glutinous rice can be stored for a long time in winter after being cooled. When it is time to eat, bake it in a hot pan, mix it with your favorite sweet or salty sauce, and eat it while simmering.
In addition to mung bean pancakes, there are also sesame and shredded ones. In Wu Guoliang's hands, one prototype can be transformed into thousands of different flavors. Yu Jian was dazzled by the sight, but also strengthened his determination to learn Bai An.
In fact, Tang Yuan's words stimulated her invisibly. It turned out that in Chef Tang's eyes, she was still the little girl who needed protection. Perhaps her father, mother, teacher Guan Shanyue, and others had the same idea.
In this case, she can only make herself stronger and stronger.
As Tang Yuan once said, when you stand at the top, you can look down on everything.
"Ouch - it's so hot!" In my ears, I heard the painful cry of milk.
Yu Jian turned her head, and Yu Yuan ran to the charcoal stove without knowing it. She touched the bamboo stick on the stove and put it into her mouth. The juice in it was probably not cold yet, and she was sticking out her tongue with tears in her eyes.
At its feet, Big Yellow had an anxious look on its beady eyes. It just took a lick of the meat juice that leaked from the little guy's mouth. It was really delicious and completely matched its dog taste!
Then he saw Tang Yuan coming out of the back room with ice water. He handed it to Yu Yuan and said with disgust: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Not only are you anxious, you are also greedy. If not, who are you scalding?"
