Chapter 492: Changes in the situation - joining the army
This matter is indeed difficult. To become a cooking god, a person must have cooking skills and merit, and at the same time, he must be enlightened and consecrated by the red pen on the tip of the red tongue. He is still a baby who has just turned one year old and has not taken milk. How can he examine everyone and the red pen?
What about the consecration? After thinking about it again and again, Tianmu Yuanjun came up with an idea.
In Shiyue Tower, Zhou Ling took good care of An Xiangyi. Because she had just given birth to two baby girls, her body was extremely weak. In order to facilitate absorption, today, Zhou Ling planned to make a tofu box for her based on the instructions from her master.
The tofu was ground by Zhou Ling's mother with a stone mill. She cut out a piece of the freshly made tofu. She first cut the tofu into six-inch and two-inch cubes, and fried it with peanuts until golden brown.
Then take it out and put it on one side of the tofu block
Cut a piece of skin from the noodles, leaving one side uncut, to serve as a box lid. Scoop out the tofu inside, fill it with the prepared stuffing, and close the "box lid". The stuffing is pork stuffing, and the preparation method is to combine sea rice and fungus.
Soak in warm water, add pork and dried shrimps
, fungus, green onion, ginger and meat, cut into pieces respectively; put peanut oil in the wok, bring to a boil, add onion, ginger and meat and stir-fry until cooked, add dried shrimps, fungus, salt and stir-fry evenly into the plate, add amomum villosum
Mix the noodles evenly, fill it into the tofu box, cover it and put it in
In the plate, stack them into a tower shape, steam them in a cage for about a quarter of an hour and take them out. Put another spoonful of sesame oil, add onion, ginger and minced garlic and stir-fry, cook with vinegar, add fungus, green vegetables, water bamboo shoots and soy sauce, soup, soup
After boiling, thicken the soup. When the soup is thick, pour it on the tofu box and serve.
"Wulingchun·Tofu Box"
Cut the tofu into long cubes and fry in the oil pan on both sides. Cut off a piece of skin on one side and stuff it with the stuffing. Stir-fry the onion, ginger and meat until cooked through, and mix in the battered pepper. Add soy sauce to the fungus and water bamboo shoots, thicken the soup and pour it over the top.
After a few days of rest, An Xiangyi was able to sit up from the bed and use chopsticks to pick up vegetables by herself. She no longer needed to be fed. She looked at the juice. It was composed of fungus, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and various seasonings.
After taking a bite, I saw the filling inside the tofu, and I couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "I thought it was just fried tofu, but I didn't expect that it was just fried tofu."
There is something else out there, you have to taste it carefully."
After tasting it, he praised "the clever combination of meat and vegetarian food, the delicate taste, the rich aroma, the tough skin and tender filling, and the endless aftertaste. Its fragrance and beauty cannot be expressed in any language or words. You can only feel this delicacy by tasting it yourself."
It’s so much fun.”
Seeing An Xiangyi gradually come out of the gloom and look happy, Zhou Ling was also happy for her and explained to her in detail how to prepare this dish.
She struggled to sit up, asked Zhou Ling to help grind the ink, and took a paper to write down the recipe. Seeing her struggling, Zhou Ling helped her back to the bed and said, "Sister Shu will do these things for you. First,
It’s important to take good care of your body.”
Lanterns were held on October 15th. After the 15th day, the New Year was over, and Pantan Pier became lively again. Zhou Guojiang was about to go back to Tongjiang Academy to study. With the sound of horse hooves, a servant stopped in front of Shiyue Building and handed over
A notice from the county government said: "Your family has made it difficult for me to find you. This is a new recruitment order issued by the imperial court. If one of your family members is to serve as a soldier, he will report to the county government tomorrow."
It turned out that the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty was tense again. The only people in their family who were of the same age were Zhou's father and Zhou Guojiang. After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the government servants delivered documents everywhere. When they were delivered to his house, no one was there. After asking around, they found out that they were there.
During the Chinese New Year, my father was old and in poor health, so the spot naturally fell on Zhou Guojiang.
Seeing everyone's sad faces, Zhou Guojiang smiled and said: "The book says, why don't men wear hooks and collect fifty states in Guanshan? Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, and you will be like a scholar with ten thousand households. Our family is poor, so we have to go from there."
I am afraid that no one will be willing to provide insurance for us if we honor our ancestors through the imperial examination. Please relax, I will return home in glory in a few years."
An Xiangyi struggled to hold her daughter and pointed at him and said: "Thanks to your benefactor, you invited the doctor, our family was saved. After the two daughters can talk, I will ask them to recognize you as their godfather."
There was something strange in her eyes. Shopkeeper Sun laughed and said, "Everyone's orders must be violated. Tonight, I will cook a dish for Zhou's journey across the river. Disciples, follow me to the kitchen."
Zhou Ling, Tang Kexian, He Cailu and other three people followed them to the kitchen to help the chef. Shopkeeper Sun grabbed the eel from the bucket, put it on the chopping board and cut the skin with a knife, and then pressed the meat with the knife.
Tear it quickly and peel off the skin. Cut the eel into pieces.
Blanch the fish meat in boiling water, remove the spines, and cut into strips one finger long and half a finger thick. Wash the green peppers, cut them into thin strips as long as the little finger, along with the magnolia slices and the mushrooms. Chop the fresh perilla leaves into small pieces.
Crack the egg whites into the bowl and stir until foamy.
Add dry starch and refined salt and mix thoroughly, then add shredded eel, stir well and slurry. Set the wok to medium heat, add lard, and heat until 50% hot. Add shredded eel, break it up with chopsticks, pour into a colander and drain. Fry.
Leave some oil in the pot, heat until 80% hot, add magnolia slices, green onion
Stir-fry the peppers, mushroom shreds, and refined salt for a while, then add the eel shreds and stir-fry with the cooking wine. Mix the yellow vinegar, perilla leaves, starch, meat clear, and soup into a sauce, pour it into the wok, stir it twice, and put it in
On a plate, sprinkle with pepper, pour in sesame oil, and add coriander to the plate.
"Jiang Chengzi Zilong Takes Off His Robe"
This dish is the most courageous thing to do. There is no need to worry about it, and the tears are gone. Cut the skin of the eel with a knife on the cutting board, debone the fish, blanch it in boiling water, cut it into shreds, and mix with perilla.
Smash the meat with egg essence and salt, heat the lard, and fry until cooked. Leave the oil and add shredded chili and mushrooms. Mix the broth and cooking wine skillfully, sprinkle with pepper, and drizzle with sesame oil.
When the food arrived, the smell of chili pepper was a bit pungent. Shopkeeper Sun pointed at it and said, "This is a man's food."
Zhou Guojiang looked at the dish. The dish was bright in color, with white, green, brown and purple. He looked around and everyone's eyes were fixed on him, asking him to stretch out his chopsticks first. He picked up the shredded eel and put it in.
In the mouth, I just feel that the eel is tender, spicy and smooth. A spicy taste goes straight into the throat and reaches the stomach. Immediately afterwards, the body heats up, as if being in a stove. This is a man's dish, a strong man's dish!
It was too spicy and would be difficult for others to eat. Shopkeeper Sun peeled the dried chilies to the side. Zhou Ling followed and took a bite. The taste of the dish was slightly spicy, salty and fresh, smooth and delicious.
Mrs. Yu Er is well-informed. After tasting it carefully, she praised: "It gives people a full range of enjoyment and pleasure in color, fragrance, meaning and shape. It's wonderful, wonderful."
Zhou Guojiang's parents' backs were slightly hunched and their hands were shaking. They wanted to say something, but they couldn't. Sun Jiugong raised his glass and said to them: "Your Zhou Guojiang went to Caishiji to serve as a soldier. Fatty
Qian, the shopkeeper of Xin Restaurant, has been promoted to captain there and is in charge of more than a hundred soldiers. Lieutenant Lin in the barracks is also a good friend. I will write you a letter to recommend it. When the time comes, they will take care of you.
.”
Lieutenant Lin is in charge of Sentinel No. 10 of the whole battalion. Although it is risky to follow him, it is very easy to make achievements. Zhou Guojiang, a passionate young man, was secretly happy after hearing this, but he was afraid that his parents would worry, so he remained calm on the surface and handed the recommendation letter
