Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 299 Chopped Pepper Boiled Red Oil (2)

Seeing that the preparation was almost done, Gu Qi dispersed the crowd, found a flat place, took appropriate amount of green onion, ginger, and garlic, cut and crushed them, and also took two taels of white sesame seeds, some star anise, two pieces of fragrant leaves, and some peppercorns.

Turning to Qing, he said, "Give me the red pepper."

It was the first time for Qingyi, the chef, to chop red peppers, and he didn't know how to do it. His eyes were red after chopping just now. Hearing Gu Qi's words, when he raised his head, there were tears in his small eyes.

"Here comes."

While talking, he couldn't help wiping his tears with the back of his hand, which made his eyes even redder.

"There is still water in the jar outside the door, so go and wash your face first. Remember to wash your hands first." Gu Qi ordered casually, and without further words, started to heat up the oil.

After the oil is [-]% hot, pour the peeled peanuts into the oil pan, turn down the heat and stir-fry until it turns slightly yellow, remove from the pan and remove.

Then use a mulberry knife to beat and crush the fried peanuts until they are finely chopped for later use to increase the taste and aroma.

Shredded ginger, minced garlic, Chinese prickly ash, and fragrant leaves are put into the pot at the same heat, about half a stick of incense, and the spices are taken out after the shredded ginger turns black.

At this time, the spices that had been fried until slightly charred had begun to emit a strong aroma, which attracted the attention of everyone in the kitchen.

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Lu's eyes widened even more, and they stared intently at the frying pan in Gu Qi's hands, their faces full of incredulity.

The owner can cook?And the cooking skills are amazing! -
Gu Qi didn't care about everyone's reaction. After testing the oil temperature, he took sesame seeds and freshly crushed peanut foam and poured it in. This step was to boil the oil until fragrant.

Finally, add water and salt, and at the same time put the chopped dried red pepper into the pot, cover and boil over low heat until the water is boiled dry and the red pepper is fried and crispy, then turn off the heat and let it stand.
-
In fact, the red oil that has just been prepared is not too fragrant, and the color is not the purest. It is often necessary to wait for it to cool completely, cover it and let it sit overnight. The fragrance will be strong enough on the second day.

But these, other people in the kitchen don't know, they just feel that the rich peppery smell is coming from Ruo Da's back kitchen at this moment.

Shunzi swallowed unconsciously: "Master Qi, this smells so delicious!"

Ah Da nodded in agreement, with an intoxicated expression on his face: "It's fragrant and spicy!" The taste is a bit sweet.

The expressions of Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wei became more and more shocked. They never thought that the red pepper could be made in such a way, let alone that the boss directly demonstrated the method of making the red pepper in front of them.

Isn't the owner afraid that they will use this culinary skill for their own use after stealing it?

Mrs. Lu's culinary skills came from her husband's early years as a traveling cook. In addition to ordinary home-cooked dishes, the husband and wife also have a few special dishes that can make others look at them, which was learned by her husband from a teacher in his early years.

When they usually go out to pick up work and cook banquets for others, the couple will habitually disperse the outsiders when they are cooking these special dishes, because they are afraid that the skills they use to live and live will be learned by outsiders.

Even the few little apprentices under the husband's hands will not teach them real skills at the beginning. They will save some basic skills for the cook, and they will start to teach others after two years of raising them. Usual dishes.

As for the truly unique dishes, only the big disciples who have been around for more than seven or eight years and plan to keep them as successors in the future will teach them all.

And after such a big disciple is graduated from the teacher, he has to follow the rules to send filial piety to his door every year during festivals and festivals. In essence, he is not much different from half a son.
-
If it is said that Mrs. Lu does not have an authentic master's lineage, she has less feelings, but Mrs. Wei's pupils are slightly constricted at this time, and her complexion is turning blue and white.

The strong spicy smell in the kitchen constantly stimulated Mrs. Wei's breath and mouth. For some reason, Mrs. Wei felt her heart warm up, and suddenly childhood memories appeared before her eyes.
-
Her father is the heir of the generation of Wei family recipes. When she was young, Mrs. Wei would often go to the kitchen to watch her father cook. She is the youngest girl in the family, and she has three older brothers and one older sister. Because she is the youngest, her parents and elder sisters are used to pampering her. she.

Before the age of seven, Mrs. Wei could also freely go in and out of the kitchen to watch her brothers learn cooking skills with her father, or practice with her sister how to make pastries with her mother.

In fact, compared to making pastries, Mrs. Wei prefers to go to the big kitchen at home and watch her father devote himself to making Wei's dishes.

At first, she just looked at it. Later, every time Mrs. Wei watched her father cook, she also felt itchy hands, and she began to want to follow her father to learn Wei's cooking like her elder brother.

At that time, she was only six years old, and her father only laughed at her, saying that she was too young to master the knife, so she said that she could practice knife skills like the third brother.The father also said that she was too young and her wrists were too weak to hold a kitchen knife.

Another half a year passed like this, and one day, Mrs. Wei couldn't hold back, and sneaked into the big kitchen when her father and brother were not at home.

When she fired and heated the pot just like her father, Mrs. Wei was trembling all over. The carefree and nervous excitement without words made Mrs. Wei feel that she could be as famous as her father in this life. Cook, carry forward the Wei family cuisine.

But that was the day when her father, who had always been gentle and loving, showed his furious expression to her for the first time in the kitchen.

Mrs. Wei still remembers that her father said that the Wei family dishes are passed on from male to female, and the elder brothers who are used to doting on her will no longer speak for her. They also told her that her daughter's family is going to get married after all, and the marriage is not the Wei family. So she can't learn Wei's food.

Mrs. Wei couldn't remember whether she cried that day, she just felt that something seemed to disappear from her that day.

The days since then seem to be no different from before.Her father still loves her, her mother is still gentle, and her elder brother still loves her to heaven.Except that she never entered the big kitchen again, and never watched her father and brother cook.

Like her elder sister, she only followed her mother to learn female reds and how to make pastries.Before my sister got married, my mother began to teach my sister how to make ordinary home-cooked dishes in the small kitchen, and Mrs. Wei followed suit.

My mother's cooking skills are very ordinary, and she only knows some simple stewing skills, and the taste is no different from that of her neighbors.

But what does that matter, for a woman, it is enough to be able to manage the meals at home after marriage, besides, she and her sister also learned the skill of making cakes, which can be eaten for a lifetime, and it is already more affordable than other dowries. The craftsmanship also made her very confident in her husband's family after she got married.

Mrs. Wei has always felt that her past [-] years have been very smooth, loved by her mother's family and respected by her husband's family. Even if there was a famine, she did not suffer too much.

But for some reason, at this very moment, Mrs. Wei suddenly felt severe soreness in her eye sockets.

Probably the red pepper oil made by the owner is too spicy, even the fragrance is very harsh.
