Drinking steamed buns? Just these three words are enough to attract people's attention. As the number one foodie in the Northern Song Dynasty, Cai Jing is also an authentic steamed bun lover. Hearing these three words, there is nothing wrong with him. Without saying a word, he immediately
leave.
As for the fourth young master, not to mention, they rushed towards the Qin Mansion on horseback. Feng Yinu was a little surprised. In her impression, this seemed to be the first time Li Qi invited her. In fact, this
The idea came to Li Qi temporarily, so he didn't pay so much attention to it. Although he had been in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long, he had met quite a few people, but when it came to being trustworthy and tasteful, these were the only people he knew.
Ji Hongnu and Bai Qiannuo are considered family members, so there is no need to invite them.
Today may be the busiest time in Qin Mansion in recent years, but Mrs. Qin dislikes this kind of occasion the most, so she asked Wu Furong to entertain them as the host, while she went to the store to take care of business.
.
In the front hall, Gao Yanei saw a room full of beauties, and two of them were his idols, especially Feng Yinu. Although he had removed his glamorous appearance, it made him feel much more friendly, as if
It's already meat in the bowl, and he's salivating with excitement. Even if you give him a bland steamed bun now, he'll probably find it delicious, but since Cai Jing is here, he doesn't dare to be presumptuous.
Cai Jing sat on the front seat and said to Wu Furong: "Shopkeeper Wu, Li Qi invited me to come and drink steamed buns. How can I drink these steamed buns?"
Wu Furong smiled and said: "When I return to the Grand Master, this is the first time I have heard of drinking steamed buns."
Cai Jing snorted and said, "What about Li Qi?"
"I don't know. I just sent someone to the kitchen to call him, but my nephew said he went out just now."
Cai Jing nodded and said, "This guy just likes to make things up, so let's just wait."
Chai Cong, who was sitting next to him, also chuckled: "I've heard a lot about eating steamed buns, but this is the first time I've heard of drinking steamed buns."
When Hong Tianjiu heard their conversation, his eyes shone, he lowered his head, rubbed his hands and said, "Drinking steamed buns, that must be fun."
You guys, there are so many beauties here, what's wrong to talk about, and some of them say "baozi" one sentence at a time, and then another "baozi" (baozi), you are such an abrupt beauty. When Gao Yanei heard their conversation, he felt displeased in his heart, waved his hand and said plausibly: "
Uncle Cai, since Li Qi has said so, the buns must be drinkable. We just have to wait and eat. Come on, come on, I just brought two decks of cards. How about we play a few hands? Feng Niang and Hong Niang, you guys
Come too." After saying that, he winked at Feng Yinu shamelessly, his expression quite obscene.
Although this Gao Yanei is fair and fair, he is really born with a bad streak. Every move he makes, even the red flowers on his temples, are full of color. You can tell at a glance that he is not a good person, which has caused everyone to be confused.
Once you're used to his actions, it's not strange anymore.
Feng Yinu and Ji Hongnu looked at each other with a slightly embarrassed expression. Bai Qiannuo didn't know Gao Yanei's evil intentions. He rolled his eyes and said cheerfully: "Sister Feng, sister Hongnu, let's just play mahjong."
,Uncle Wu, come and play with us for a while."
Wu Furong was just about to nod in agreement, when he suddenly felt a ray of light coming from him, and his heart was shocked. He saw Gao Yanei's eyes as wide as copper bells, and he looked like he was eating people, as if he would just nod his head, and the guy would pounce on him immediately.
When he came up to his mouth, he swallowed the words with force, looking extremely embarrassed.
However, the little tricks of these juniors did not escape Cai Jing's eyes. Now Feng Yinu is a teacher in his college. Naturally, he was protective and laughed and said: "Speaking of this mahjong, I also feel that my hands are a little itchy."
"Kang'er, you don't mind playing a few rounds with this bad old man like me." Since I played with Li Qi for a while that day, I started to speak in professional terms.
"ah?"
Gao Yanei had a bitter look on his face. In fact, he really wanted to say that he was very concerned about it, but he didn't dare to say it. He forced out a smile, nodded and said: "Uncle Cai wants to play mahjong, and my nephew is naturally willing to play in front of the horse and behind the horse."
In front of the saddle and behind the horse? Cai Jing let out a long sigh and said: "Kang'er, you really should read more books."
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst out laughing and the atmosphere became quite harmonious.
...
In the kitchen, Wu Xiaoliu had fallen asleep leaning against the stove, drooling all over the floor. Lu Meimei and Zhang Runer had completed their tasks and were sitting at the table in a daze.
After a while, Li Qi finally arrived, and Lu Meimei quickly pushed Wu Xiaoliu.
"What happened?"
Wu Xiaoliu was suddenly startled, stood up suddenly, looked around, saw Li Qi coming, and said hurriedly: "Brother Li, why are you going so---eh? Is this jelly for us?"
I saw Li Qi holding a small basin in his hand, and the basin contained a whole piece of dark gray, crystal clear stuff.
Li Qi glared at him and said, "Are you too sleepy? This is the stuffing I brought out in front of you."
The three of them looked shocked. Wu Xiaoliu said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, this---is this the soup we just made?"
"Otherwise, what do you think it is?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes at him angrily, walked to the chopping board, and slammed the small basin on the chopping board. He saw the piece of stuff shaking slightly, extremely tempting, and said: "This is pig skin jelly made from pig skin."
, that is, collagen, don’t ask me what collagen is, you just need to remember that when you cut the pork skin jelly without any impurities, the inside is green, shiny, and very elastic." He said with a knife.
He went down, cut off a strip, and said, "This way there will be no impurities. Otherwise, the luster will be very dull and it will taste very greasy. Do you understand?"
The three of them nodded in unison.
Li Qi didn't say much. He cut the pork skin jelly into thin strips, then minced it, and mixed it with some seasonings such as crab roe, crab paste, crab meat, etc. At this point, the filling was finally made, and it could be said that it was ready.
It's a lot of trouble.
But the next step requires even more effort. The method of wrapping soup dumplings is not as random as ordinary dumplings. Each soup dumpling must have more than 30 wrinkles, and must be fine and even. The sealing agent head is small and the mouth is tight and cannot be tightened.
There is a slight crack. If a little filling is exposed when making the bag, it is a failure. After Li Qi taught Zhang Runer and Lu Meimei how to make the bag, he also gave them some filling practice, and he wrapped it skillfully
.
...
In the front hall, the sound of playing mahjong was rising and falling. The three beauties were sitting at a table with Wu Furong. Cai Jing was sitting at a table with the three young men. Naturally, the pretentious guy Chai Cong was sitting in the middle sipping tea. Since then,
After Gao Yanei came to the table, he never thought about Feng Yinu and Ji Hongnu again. The killers had red eyes and would catch them at every opportunity.
Suddenly, a burst of fragrance wafted in. Everyone was shocked when they heard it, and turned their eyes to the door, only to see Lu Meimei walking in directly carrying a basket.
Everyone's eyes were bright. Of course, they were not looking at Lu Meimei, but the buns placed on the basket. They saw that the round cake-like buns were white and crystal clear, and the wrinkles on them were fine and even, and the whole thing was just like a flower.
The chrysanthemum is plump and round, tightly wrapped with thousands of petals, and the jade chrysanthemum is about to bloom. In addition, the skin is as thin as paper and is almost transparent. If you move it a little, you can see the soup inside gently swaying. It makes people feel like they are about to blow.
It was so soft and torn. Not to mention eating it, just looking at it was a beautiful enjoyment. But everyone was dumbfounded.
Li Qi then walked in and saw everyone looking dumbfounded. He couldn't help but smile proudly and said: "Master, everyone, we will play mahjong later. Try my newly baked buns first."
Cai Jing was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "What kind of buns are these?" As he spoke, he had already stood up and walked over. The others also gathered around.
Li Qi smiled and said: "This is my latest development of soup dumplings."
Cai Jing asked curiously: "Is that just pouring soup into steamed buns?"
"You can also say that."
"But how to fill it?"
"Uh...Grand Master, this is too much to explain in just one sentence. Everyone, please take a seat."
Cai Jing also knew that even if Li Qi said it, he wouldn't understand. Everyone sat down one after another, with the three women at one table and the others at one table.
Li Qi took out the small plate that had been prepared long ago, with processed ginger shreds on the bottom, put the soup dumplings on it, and presented it to everyone. Just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly heard Hong Tianjiu scream, "Ouch,
It burned me to death."
It turned out that this guy couldn't hold it any longer, so he grabbed a soup dumpling and took a big bite. As you can imagine, the soup splashed everywhere and the guy was so hot that he was jumping around. He subconsciously sucked the soup from his hand with his mouth.
Juice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "This soup is so delicious."
"Xiaojiu, you really need to change your impatience." Li Qi sighed and said, "Don't be too busy eating. Listen to me. The way to eat these buns is very particular. First of all, you have to eat them on the buns.
Take a small bite, then suck the soup inside, pay attention to boiling it, and finally eat it with the shredded ginger."
Lu Meimei handed Hong Tianjiu another soup dumpling.
Everyone followed the instructions and took a small bite on the soup dumpling first, and then slowly sucked the soup inside. This suck was amazing, everyone seemed to be completely immersed in the delicious soup, without saying a word, the whole hall
A rustling sound was heard inside.
Li Qi didn't bother them. He poured himself and Lu Meimei a cup of tea and drank it by himself.
After a while, Cai Jing wiped his lips and exclaimed: "Li Qi, I have eaten so many dishes of yours, except for the 'Sun and moon compete for glory, swallow mountains and rivers with anger', this soup dumpling is the most delicious."
Li Qi smiled and said: "The grand master said that because the filling of the soup dumplings is made of crab roe."
Cai Jing laughed loudly and said: "You kid, haha, yes, but your crab roe soup dumplings are much more delicious than the crab roe dumplings I ate before. The skin is thin and smooth, the soup is as rich as a spring, thick but not greasy, and the taste is thick.
It’s delicious, both in the way of eating it and in the taste.”
Hong Tianjiu swallowed the bun skin and the shredded ginger. He looked into the basket and saw that it was empty. He hurriedly said, "Brother Li, is there anything else? This one is really not satisfying to eat."
Gao Yanei responded: "That's right, that's right, if you invite us here, you won't let us go back hungry."
Cai Jing was afraid that Li Qi would repeat the same old tune, so he hurriedly said: "Kang'er is right, this is the way to treat guests."
This old guy is really greedy. Li Qi said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I will eat enough for everyone today. The filling in this soup dumpling actually accounts for a small part of crab roe, mainly collagen, which is very Nutritious things are good for your appearance and are also very good for your body." After that, he turned to Bai Qiannuo and smiled: "Especially for women, eat more."
Bai Qiannuo giggled and said, "Brother, these soup dumplings are so delicious. Even if it's not beneficial, we still want to eat more."
Feng Yinu and Ji Hongnu nodded one after another, they both seemed to have a special liking for this soup dumpling.
Fan Shaobai asked: "Master Li, when are you going to launch the soup dumplings?" Now Fan Louke was overwhelmed by Jinlou. After he tasted the soup dumplings, he wanted to sell them immediately.
Li Qi glanced at Cai Jing and said: "I'm afraid it will take a while, so you should eat more today."
Gao Yanei said angrily: "Why is this? These buns are so delicious, you will definitely not lose money if you sell them."
Make a lot of money, you idiot. Li Qi sighed and started to show off his acting skills, saying: "You guys don't know, I also wanted to launch this soup dumpling as soon as possible, but it's a pity--sigh."
Cai Jing said displeasedly: "You kid, please stop sighing all the time. This is what annoys me the most."
Sweat! I've done it. Li Qi said sarcastically: "It's a pity that making these soup dumplings requires a skilled hand, and you have to be making dumplings for at least three or four years, so I have to cultivate talents first."
Gao Yanei said unhappily: "When will we go?"
Cai Jing's pair of cloudy eyes swayed from side to side, and he chuckled: "What's so difficult about this? There are plenty of people like you mentioned in my house, so it doesn't hurt to lend you some."
Old man, you are really wise. Did Li Qi not know his little thoughts? He said shyly: "I'm so embarrassed about this."
Cai Jing glared at him slightly and said, "You kid, are you still embarrassed?"
Gao Yanei said hehely: "Uncle Cai is right, he is called being obedient when he gets an advantage. I must be right this time."
Cai Jing laughed and said: "Kang'er, I really blamed you wrongly before."
They are really the same as each other. I call this polite words, do you understand? Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said: "Then I would like to thank the Grand Master."
At this time, Wu Xiaoliu and Zhang Runer walked in carrying the second basket.
When Gao Yanei saw it, he immediately said angrily: "Li Qi, how can you let me do such rough work to my sister?"
Zhang Run'er hurriedly said: "Brother, don't blame me, this is all Run'er's own wish."
Gao Yanei was angry and said: "Sister, you are too kind, you have to be careful about Li Qi, he is very bad."
After hearing this, Zhang Runer's face turned slightly red and she couldn't say anything. She didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky to meet such a godbrother.
Fuck! You didn’t blush at all when you said this, md, and you actually said such things in front of my woman. Li Qi snorted and said angrily: "Ya Nei, you'd better eat your buns quickly, lest you And he said I didn’t treat guests well."
Gao Yanei's eyes widened and he said, "Just eat it, am I afraid of paying you back?"
Li Qi shook his head, completely speechless.
Everyone concentrated on sucking it again, with expressions of great enjoyment.
After Fan Shaobai finished eating, he felt more confident and couldn't help but praise: "Master Li, your soup dumplings are really more delicious than the plum blossom buns from Wanglou."
Chai Cong shook his head and said, "My favorite steamed buns used to be Wanglou's cave plum blossom steamed buns. I also thought they were the most delicious steamed buns in the world, but I never thought, alas, these two are incomparable."
Hong Tianjiu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It goes without saying that Brother Li is a god of cooking."
Li Qidao: "Xiao Jiu, don't say this nonsense. I am the king of kitchen, not the god of cooking."
"Does it make a difference?"
"Of course there is. Haven't you heard that there is no chef without beef balls?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qi was suddenly stunned, then smiled again and murmured: "Damn it, how could I forget it."
