1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Yingzi, stop it. What bad intentions do I have? I'm hungry." Chen Tiezhu said hurriedly.

"Will you tell me or not? If not, I'll leave now." Han Xiuying pouted.

This angry look almost caused Chen Tiezhu's two kitchen knives to fight each other.

"I said it's not okay, but I just want to trick the yellow fly." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Isn't he trying to create a gentleman's personality? Then let him play. I throw the bag to him, and he has to take good care of it. He also said he would send you food, so he has to keep it."

"But what if he really did it? He would be a complete hypocrite. Just like I said, if you meet the girl you love, you have to rush around like me."

"Yes, just like meeting a little flowery girl, it depends on your virtue."

Han Xiuying said a word, glanced at him, and sat back on the round table with her long legs to chat with everyone.

Chen Tiezhu was not idle either, and continued to process these ingredients.

Only some salt was added to the chopped meat filling.

Then it was time to beat the eggs and stir the egg liquid.

At this time, Master Wang saw the trick. This young man has great hand strength.

Beating egg liquid is a very easy thing, and everyone can do it. But it is rare to be able to stir it so quickly and evenly like Chen Tiezhu.

After beating the egg liquid, he directly lit a fire and boiled water, threw the sea hare and dried shrimp into the pot, and cooked it directly.

He is still very confident about the sea hare and dried shrimp of this era. What is the freshness of seafood? It's still that fishy and fresh.

After finishing the work here, he mixed the egg liquid, put it directly into the pot, and boiled water to steam it.

Master Wang frowned slightly. Could it be that this young man only had a posture? Was the egg steamed a little too early?

"Master Wang, it seems that there is something to steaming a sea bowl?" Comrade Liu, who was accompanying him in the back kitchen, spoke up.

"Yes or no, for ordinary banquet noodles, it's enough to just boil them to bring out the freshness. If you want to steam them well, you have to pay more attention to the heat." Chef Wang pointed out.

"Why do you say that Master Wang is a real expert? He knows it at a glance. This time I plan to make some raw boiled meat. It takes some time to boil the meat, so I steamed the egg paste first." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"No wonder, no wonder, I thought you were going to make meatballs." Chef Wang nodded.

"Although I'm not a chef and have never heard of this raw boiled meat, it seems that this raw boiled meat is more labor-intensive than boiled meatballs, right?" Comrade Liu asked in some confusion.

"It seems so. Raw boiled meat is not the way we cook it here. The emphasis is on boiling water quickly to keep the meat fresh and tender." Chef Wang said with a smile.

"It looks faster than boiling meatballs, but in fact, it requires a certain amount of effort, otherwise some of the meat in a spoonful is cooked and some is not, which is not good."

"Boiled meatballs are simple, in fact, they can be put in warm water, there will not be so much foam, and it is not easy to spread."

"Today's little brother is going to show his skills, I have to take a closer look. I have only heard people talk about boiling raw meat before, but I have never seen it."

"Don't praise me so much, it's not a great skill." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile, and then continued to work.

First, throw the cut cabbage strips into the boiling soup, and then start to make leek fried with dried tofu.

The cut dried tofu is first rinsed in hot water so that the dried tofu will not stick when fried.

Then it is a crackling stir-fry, and finally add some leeks, weigh a few spoons, add some seasonings and serve directly.

The fried leeks are still green and firm.

Chef Wang nodded his head, and the control of the heat was good.

The most taboo thing when frying leeks is to use too much fire, otherwise they will wilt and collapse.

At this time, Chen Tiezhu also put the prepared meat filling into the big spoon, and directly scooped a spoonful of soup from the boiling soup. Then he used a small spoon in his right hand to shovel and stir in the big spoon.

This hand speed is really good, with a crisp sound of ding-dong, and the track of the spoon is a little unclear.

At this time, he raised the spoon in his left hand, scooped a little bit of starch juice into the soup with the spoon in his right hand, and then scooped some seasonings in the bowl.

Now the soup in the pot looks like a soup.

"Brother Liu, please help lift the lid of the steamed egg paste pot." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Okay."

Comrade Liu did not dare to hesitate and directly lifted the lid of the pot.

Chen Tiezhu picked up the frying pan and poured the soup in the pot directly into the big bowl.

Not too much, not too little, just full.

This move alone surprised Master Wang, the amount was too accurate.

At this time, Chen Tiezhu, holding the spoon for the hot meat, was very casual.With a flick of the cane, the meat was evenly sprinkled on the soup in the bowl.

After removing the fire and holding the bowl, the dish was ready.

The pink raw meat really adds a lot of color to the dish.

"Okay, let's start cooking now. Master Wang, if you are not shy, why don't you try it?" Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"I have to taste the soup at least."

After saying that, he didn't care about being rude or not, and started cooking directly.

"Amazing, this is really amazing, the light freshness, the smooth soup, the tenderness of the raw meat, the crispness of the cabbage, the little brother's cooking skills are amazing." Chef Wang said with emotion.

"I'm just showing off my skills in front of an expert. If the ingredients are not good, I can't make such a good dish." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile, and then he also took the soup spoon to serve some to Doudou and Han Xiuying respectively.

This is not just the soup on the top, but also some steamed egg paste on the bottom.

After all, the two of them were loyal customers of Chen Tiezhu, and they didn't feel surprised after trying it.

But for the rest of the people, once this dish entered their mouths, they couldn't stop eating it.

One comrade even scooped it directly into the rice bowl and ate it with rice, and it was so delicious.

This is really delicious. Occasionally chewing some raw and boiled meat in your mouth, how can it be so tender?

What if you scoop some steamed egg paste and mix it with the soup?

The taste will be even more amazing, it's so tender and smooth.

"Don't just eat this, there is also fried leek with dried tofu. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's steamed egg paste with soup." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

This time he didn't even use space water, he can only say that the ingredients of this era are really real.

"Little Chen, your cooking skills are really amazing." Comrade Liu ate a lot and spoke.

"Old Wang, even if you were here, I would still say that Xiao Chen'er's cooking skills are the best in any famous restaurant."

"Hehe, you're flattering me. Our goal is to make food more delicious under limited conditions." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Brother, your mentality is quite remarkable." Another comrade at the same table said with emotion.

Han Xiuying felt a little helpless. How could this guy be so capable?

In just a short while, he started to call each other brothers?

"You guys..."

Everyone was eating happily when a discordant voice came from not far away.

Everyone looked over and saw Huang Wenxuan standing at the door of the cafeteria with a bag and a food box, looking resentful.
