Although Xiao Nianzhi has tomato sauce here, the sauce that is poured on the fried mandarin fish still needs to be added with sugar and vinegar, and the proportions need to be adjusted again.
However, ketchup is still the highlight.
How to control this quantity also needs to be considered, such as choosing the size of the fish.
Xiao Nianzhi handled the fish himself, modified the flower knife, and knew the size of the fish well.
So, start quickly.
If you want to make the juice more viscous and hang firmly on the mandarin fish, you need not only sugar, but also the last layer of water starch.
Of course, this is the last thing to be added. After the sugar and vinegar are mixed, slowly push them over low heat to allow them to truly blend, and then pour a layer of water starch.
Water starch needs to be light and thin, and the timing of addition needs to be controlled.
After Xiao Nianzhi poured a thin layer on it, stirred it a little and turned off the heat.
Then the thick and sweet soup can be poured on top of the fried mandarin fish.
Yan Nanrong looked at the bright red and alluring soup, pouring it on the fried golden mandarin fish bit by bit, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow wow wow wow!"
Grandpa Feng watched from the side, also very excited.
It looked like they were witnessing not the birth of a dish, but the manifestation of a miracle.
The two people couldn't help but marvel and cheer each other up, which made Xiao Nianzhi very embarrassed.
The squirrel mandarin fish will be on the table soon, and Xiao Nianzhi turns around and goes back to the fish soup.
The turbot fish has also been steamed, and then poured with some hot oil. It can also be served, and it can also ensure the freshness and deliciousness of the turbot fish.
The preparation of fish soup is actually not troublesome, and can even be said to be streamlined.
But the key to it is...
The preparation of seasonings, control of heat, and the taste of soup.
The rich and delicious chicken soup as the base is the icing on the cake for this fish soup.
Therefore, this dish is served very quickly.
Now that it's hot, it's okay to leave it alone for a while.
Xiao Nianzhi started two stoves at the same time, and soon prepared other stir-fries.
At this time, the rice has been steamed to give off the rice fragrance, which is clear and light, intertwined with the milky fragrance of the Hanamaki, playing today's gourmet music.
Yan Nanrong could not help but look at this and that.
As a prince, he was dignified and polite, so he didn't do anything to steal food, but he could no longer control it.
That dish was Little Goblin No. 1, trying to seduce him.
That dish, No. 2, was also seducing him.
…
All the dishes have the spirit of fairies, tempting him!!!
God knows how much self-control Yan Nanrong used to prevent himself from being embarrassed on the spot.
Fortunately, after Xiao Nianzhi and Isatis loaded rice and picked out the small flower rolls, they could start their lunch today.
Because there are a lot of dishes to cook, today's lunch time is a little late.
It was already afternoon when we ate.
However, for everyone, everything is worth it.
Especially Yan Nanrong, who was very hungry for a long time.
When serving the table at this time, you can only maintain your basic table manners. As for more?
Not a drop left!
Yan Nanrong first finished a bowl of rice in a hurry to satisfy his craving.
Then, I ate the second bowl, the third bowl...
After four bowls of rice, he ate the milk-flavored flower rolls.
Grandpa Feng watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to be young!"
I think when he was young and tall, he could eat better than Yan Nanrong.
Yan Nanrong didn't consume much, so he didn't eat as much as his grandfather Feng who had started running business in various places with his brother and father when he was young.
Looking at Yan Nanrong's appearance at this time, Grandpa Feng couldn't help but recall the past.
Xiao Nianzhi listened and asked in a low voice about his grandfather's past.
It was a beautiful and happy day.
Moreover, Grandpa Feng always felt that that period of time passed extremely quickly.
It seemed that everything had passed in the blink of an eye.
Looking back now, Grandpa Feng felt a little more melancholy, but only a little. Most of it was because of the memories of the past, which gave rise to a lot of good expectations for the future.
He never thought about the future.
After losing his wife and daughter, he never thought about his future.
Before he finds his daughter, he will find his daughter in the future.
After knowing his daughter's whereabouts, Grandpa Feng still didn't think about the future.
Where did he come from?
However, now facing the two young children beside him and Xiao Nianzhi's curious and expectant eyes, Grandpa Feng thought: Maybe, he can try it and think about it later.
In the past, I had no worries and was alone. No matter what happened, I was fine.
But now that he has a granddaughter, there is another layer of concern in this world, and he suddenly has a lot more desire to survive.
In the past, he felt that he was fearless in life and death, but now...
Grandpa Feng felt that he wanted to live.
I want to live a few more years and watch my smart and lively little granddaughter.
Thinking of these, Grandpa Feng couldn't help but talk about the past.
He talked about his childhood, how he and his brother were naughty, and then they both ate fried pork with bamboo shoots.
He talked about how he met his wife when he was young, and how the two of them had an ambiguous relationship and fell in love with each other when they were young.
Talking about their sweet wedding, and their worries and joys after having children.
The past that seemed to have faded over time seemed to be dyed in different colors again because of Xiao Nianzhi's curiosity and because Grandpa Feng thought about it again.
They become more vivid and more beautiful, making people want to see more.
Many details that had disappeared into the depths of his memory slowly emerged again, with an unprecedented agility that made Grandpa Feng couldn't help but talk more.
Although Grandpa Feng only remembered to say something occasionally, Xiao Nianzhi listened very seriously.
Maybe it was because the past was very interesting, so Yan Nanrong, who was eating small flower rolls, also pricked up his ears and asked more questions out of curiosity from time to time.
Compared to the re-dyed past, the delicious food in front of you seems to be no longer the focus.
However, for Yan Nanrong: food is still important!
The squirrel mandarin fish is sweet and sour, and the fish is fried to a crispy texture on the outside and tender on the inside.
The charred skin on the outside is not hard because it has been soaked with sweet and sour juice. Instead, it has a bit of toughness and a good taste.
The fish meat inside is tender, white and delicious, with good texture and better taste.
Yan Nanrong couldn't help but eat one bite after another.
When the fish head comes out of the pot, the carrot holding it has been removed, and you can then feed it to pigs with the swill.
Of course, if anyone likes this bite, you can also eat it.
However, Xiao Nianzhi didn't like it very much.
This dish is sweet and sour, and although it is deep-fried, the fish inside is not stained too much by the oil.
Therefore, it still tastes light and delicious.
Grandpa Feng took a bite and thought it tasted very good, so he couldn't help but eat more.
Occasionally, he would eat some of the burnt skin on the outside.
The main thing is that the taste after being dipped in juice is really good!
It's sweet and sour, very appetizing, and the fish meat is tender and easy to digest, so he's not afraid to eat more.
However, from my grandfather's perspective, the most important thing is: this was done by his little granddaughter.
My granddaughter’s cooking is always delicious.
When not eating, it makes people yearn for it.
After eating it, I couldn’t help but think about it again.
