Qin Jiao was eager to try, and Xie Qian nodded slowly.
Xie Qian didn't have high hopes for Wen Ying's cooking skills. He saw that the two girls had a little secret.
Xie Qian felt that Wen Ying was careless, so after returning to Chengdu and parting ways with Qin Jiao, Xie Qian asked Wen Ying to keep what happened at Changtan Lake a secret.
"...I don't want my cousin to worry."
"Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person!"
Wen Ying was very willing to keep it secret, and Xie Qian couldn't help but point her finger at her: "Your uncle should tell your aunt, right? Don't let your aunt leak it in front of my cousin."
"No, my uncle is hiding it from my aunt."
Wen Ying's assurance did not make Xie Qian very happy.
Your uncle hides small things from your aunt, and it will be easier to hide big things from your aunt.
In Xie Qian's eyes, the dull Wen Ying was really hooked up with a hamster. It can be predicted that Xie Qian will not change his opinion for a long time in the future.
When Xie Qian returned to Jiang's house, Lin Lin asked him if Changtan Lake was fun. Xie Qian couldn't mention the incident of falling into the water, so he rarely lied.
"It's fun. Wen Ying's friends are very enthusiastic."
Lin Lin was very happy, "Then you can hang out with Wen Ying's friends more often in the future. If you want, you can also invite them to your home!"
After telling a lie, he had to lie more to cover it up. Xie Qian was helpless.
Wen Ying wants to bring crayfish to the late-night snack market in Chengdu, so she must make preparations in advance.
Deng Shangwei and Boss Qin were dealing with Yu Wenhao in Pu County, but they did not forget their promise to Wen Ying. They helped Wen Ying collect twenty kilograms of crayfish from the countryside and brought them to Chengdu. As soon as Wen Ying returned to Chengdu, Sister Fang from Deng Shangwei's company
I contacted her and personally delivered the crayfish to Wen Ying.
"Why do you think you want to eat this thing? The head is big and the shell is heavy. Only a little bit of meat on the tail can be eaten. It smells like mud."
Sister Fang works in a fishery company. Among other things, she definitely has the benefits of buying seafood at low prices.
For people who are used to eating seafood, if they eat these "aquatic products" from the ditches in the fields, they will naturally have a strong muddy smell. Sister Fang is not biased against crayfish. She treats loaches and river crabs equally and never eats them.
!
Wen Ying was carrying a bucket of shrimps as if she were carrying a bucket of banknotes.
There is definitely a muddy smell, so the dishes developed around crayfish have a strong taste.
After all the wild crayfish have been taken care of by foodies, basically only farmed crayfish are left on the market. The quality control of farmed crayfish is better. Some chefs have developed steaming and other methods... In the late-night snack market, steaming
Crayfish is not a mainstream dish. Those who like this bite will eat something with a strong taste.
After the crayfish has been cooked with heavy oil and spices, the muddy smell is gone. Sister Fang's shortcoming of having a large and heavy shell in her mouth is transformed into the joy of peeling the shrimp. The shrimp head feels like a snail. Let's meet up with a few friends at a late-night snack stall.
Dine in front of a bowl of crayfish, and it creates an atmosphere!
When He Zhen just met Wen Ying, he still pretended to be an elite rich second generation who had returned from studying abroad. He invited Wen Ying to a Michelin restaurant and invited her to watch plays and concerts. Wen Ying had already noticed that He Zhen was probably interested in her.
If it were anyone else, they might cover up their own personality to cater to He Zhen and use all means to catch this golden turtle son-in-law.
Wen Ying is not an ordinary person.
She was fed up with her parents' controlling desire, so she went to Shanghai alone to work hard.
Falling in love can completely turn her into a vase with no opinions of her own... I'm sorry, she can't do it. If she has to give up her own ability to be with He Zhen and let her look at her "boyfriend"'s face to eat, then
Why doesn't she go back to her hometown to watch her parents' faces while they eat?
Compared with a "boyfriend" who is not sure whether she can get married, the job given to her by her parents who are obviously related by blood is more secure!
Not to mention the relationship between men and women, even if they get along with ordinary friends, they should be on a regular basis. He Zhen invited her to a Michelin restaurant, and Wen Ying wanted to treat He Zhen to some down-to-earth food in return.
Wen Ying took He Zhen to a food stall to eat crayfish.
This kind of life belongs to Wen Ying. If He Zhen cannot accept it, it means they are not suitable for each other.
During that meal, He Zhen did not behave strangely.
The crayfish Wen Ying ate more, and He Zhen also tasted it. Wen Ying did not scare He Zhen away.
And He Zhen kept peeling shrimps for her... At that time, Wen Ying was a little touched, thinking that He Zhen had a gentlemanly demeanor. Later, after getting together with He Zhen, he got to know this person better, and only later did he realize that He Zhen actually
She couldn't get used to eating, so he kept peeling the shrimps for her. If she ate more, He Zhen would be able to eat less and openly!
He Zhen doesn't like to eat dishes with heavy spices. He thinks the ingredients are not good enough and needs seasoning to save them.
When Wen Ying discovered her little thoughts, He Zhen didn't panic. He took Wen Ying to a Ningbo restaurant in Shanghai and specially ordered a crayfish dish for Wen Ying.
Each shrimp has a plump yellow color when its head is removed. The aroma of wine overflows in the mouth, and the sweetness blooms in the mouth, giving Wen Ying the joy of eating sea urchin.
Of course, crayfish like this are not cheap. The price of a few shrimps is enough for Wen Ying to order a bowl at the late night snack stall.
It was delicious. Wen Ying felt that she had lost the happy atmosphere of eating crayfish.
She truthfully gave her evaluation. He Zhen was speechless and obviously misunderstood. After all, Wen Ying is a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing, and her love for hometown cuisine is deeply rooted in her taste buds and is not easy to change.
Wen Ying thought the matter was over. Not long after, He Zhen took her to a private restaurant again.
This time, instead of eating Ningbo food, we had Sichuan food. Wen Ying tasted the amazing Sichuan style braised shrimp!
At that moment, Wen Ying firmly decided to become a barrister and make a lot of money, because her differences with He Zhen were perfectly resolved under the influence of Qian's ability.
That private restaurant that served Sichuan cuisine later became a place where Wen Ying and He Zhen often visited.
After going there many times, Wen Ying got to know the chef. The chef liked her as a diner who did not hesitate to praise her, so he taught her a simple version of the braised shrimp recipe. She made it according to the recipe given by the chef, at least
It can restore 70% of the taste that Wen Ying ate in the store, but it is impossible to restore it 100%. It is their signature secret recipe, how can you completely teach Wen Ying?
What's more, Wen Ying is not a chef. Occasionally cooking for He Zhen is fun. She prepares meals for He Zhen three times a day. She is not the nanny that He Zhen paid for!
Wen Ying later made it twice according to the recipe, and felt that the chef did not fool her. It did taste like a private restaurant, and it was a low-end version of the same dish.
When she discovered that crayfish had not yet appeared on Chengdu's late-night snack street, Wen Ying immediately realized that this was a business opportunity.
Strictly speaking, this business opportunity was brought to her by He Zhen.
But now she wants to use the recipe given by the chef of the private kitchen to make Sichuan-style braised crayfish for Qin Jiao and Xie Qian to taste... Well, there is nothing wrong with it at all. He Zhen was dating a senior in the UK, and she didn't say anything.
!
When Wen Ying received the crayfish from Sister Fang, she did not start it immediately, but prepared the ingredients first.
Because she and Xie Qian went to Changtan Lake to play and delayed their make-up lessons, they had to make up lessons for two days in a row. Two days later, it was time for Wen Ying to treat guests.
Early in the morning, Deng Yaomei helped Wen Ying wash the shrimps, while Wen Ying began to boil the brine.
Considering that Xie Qian doesn't like spicy food, Wen Ying prepared two kinds of brine, one with chili peppers and one without chili peppers.
After washing the shrimps, they need to be deep-fried. The deep-fried crayfish will never become old after being cooked for a long time, and the crayfish will become more flavorful after being soaked in brine for a long enough time.
When she smelled the cherry fried shrimps, the aroma of brine filled the house. Chen Li opened the windows of her home, and the aroma spread all the way downstairs.
Chen Li wondered: "You have never even touched a spatula. When did you learn this skill?"
"I saw this recipe on the Internet. I'll give it a try today."
Wen Ying said casually.
Chen Li thought that Wen Ying did often mess with the computer at home, so she believed her statement.
Deng Jie and Deng Hao stayed at the kitchen door, drooling with greed.
Wen Ying poured the fried crayfish into the brine and boiled it, then turned off the heat and simmered it for half an hour. When she opened the lid of the pot, the aroma went straight to Tianling Gai. Chen Li said with a smile: "The way you do it, even boiled shoe soles will be delicious!"
"
Chen Li only thought that Wen Ying wanted to show off her skills in front of her friends, so after tasting the crayfish, she gave Wen Ying positive feedback.
However, Chen Li originally only wanted to taste one shrimp, but unknowingly peeled several.
Deng Yaomei also said it was delicious, but Wen Ying's guests hadn't arrived yet, so Deng Yaomei refused to eat more.
Deng Jie can eat spicy food, but Deng Hao can't, so Wen Ying gave some of the shrimp prepared for Xie Qian to Deng Hao.
Crayfish are inherently heavy in shell and have little meat. The 20 kilograms of crayfish sent by Sister Fang looked like a lot, but it was definitely not much for so many people to eat.
Moreover, Wen Ying did not expect that not only Xie Qian and Qin Jiao would come, but also Wang Shuang and Li Mengjiao.
The four of them all brought something with them. Xie Qian brought fruits, Wang Shuang brought cold dishes, Li Mengjiao brought desserts, and Qin Jiao brought a bouquet of flowers.
"I can't help it. These two people came uninvited as soon as they heard there was something delicious to eat."
Li Mengjiao said angrily: "Wen Ying, you only invited Sister Qin Jiao but not me. Do you think you don't treat me as a friend?"
"Today is also my first time making it. I won't dare to ask you to taste it until Xie Qian and Qin Jiao approve it."
Li Mengjiao was very satisfied with Wen Ying's explanation.
Wang Shuang could no longer see how weak he was three days ago. Wen Ying congratulated him on being discharged from the hospital. Wang Shuang hesitated: "I'm sorry about what happened before."
"What happened before? My memory is not very good and I have forgotten it a long time ago. Please sit down and try my handiwork."
The visitors were guests, and Wen Ying greeted everyone to sit down.
The braised shrimp was brought up.
Four people, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t know where to start.
Wen Ying sighed, forgetting that these were four rich second generations!
She distributed disposable gloves to everyone, and personally demonstrated how to peel shrimps, which parts should be discarded, and which parts could be eaten. Wen Ying ate the first shrimp she peeled, and the second one was placed with Xie Qian.
On the plate: "This is a non-spicy taste, Xie Qian, please try it."
When Xie Qian ate shrimp, the crayfish seemed to have become high-end.
Li Mengjiao giggled, "Wen Ying, don't be partial, can you peel one for me too?"
That must work!
Not only Li Mengjiao has it, but Qin Jiao and Wang Shuang also have it.
Wen Ying waited for their feedback. After Qin Jiao finished eating one, she peeled off the second one herself.
Wang Shuang also didn't expect Wen Ying to have such skills.
——Is this the shining point of Wen Ying?
Wen Ying asked him to comment, and Wang Shuang told the truth: "This thing needs to be eaten with iced Coke and Sprite to make it really delicious!"
My kid, your thinking is too narrow-minded. It’s not as good as cold beer with ice Coke!
Qin Jiao said it was a bit spicy, but while shouting it was spicy, she couldn't help but want to continue eating. In Qin Jiao's words, she couldn't stop.
Li Mengjiao tasted the crayfish with chili pepper, and was eager to try the crayfish without chili pepper.
Xie Qian just pretended that he could not see Li Mengjiao's desire.
The crayfish without pepper was specially cooked by Wen Ying for him. Why did he share it with Li Mengjiao?
Of course, Xie Qian's character cannot protect food in public. He made a request that Wen Ying couldn't refuse: "Can I take some home and let my cousin try it too? She can't eat spicy food like me."
Xie Qian said this, and Chen Li immediately found a lunch box to pack without Wen Ying getting up.
Wen Ying felt fulfilled. People who had eaten had good reviews, which gave her a lot of confidence: "I'm going to find a stall in the late-night snack street selling this Sichuan-flavored braised crayfish!"
