Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 332 Secret Love (seeking a monthly ticket)

Afterwards, the work of processing the ingredients was basically done in the past, and Miaomiaowu also came over to take a look halfway through. Although she knew a lot of strange knowledge about cooking in her brain, if she only talked about basic skills, it must be Not as good as old ones.

And many things are not in the books, such as Chen Nian's posture of holding a knife, his shredded meat skills and some subconscious movements. Miao Miaowu watched Chen Nian carefully process the ingredients over there, and secretly thought of Chen Nian I wrote down some of Chen Nian's actions that can improve efficiency.

Of course, no matter what questions Chen Nian has during the process, as long as Miao Miao Wu knows, she will know everything, and this can be regarded as learning and communicating with each other.

After all the ingredients are cleaned up, put all the processed ingredients into the pot for cooking, which is also the last step.

The whole process will take a while, so Chen Nian went out and sat with them after adjusting the heat.

But there is nothing to do in the store at night. If you chat, Miao Miaowu will definitely ask about the business trip between the two of them last month, and Chen Nian doesn't want to talk about it. After all, the two parties are here. How embarrassing they would be if Wu Miao Miao made a joke or something.

But what Chen Nian doesn't know is that now An Hongdou is very embarrassed. Every minute she is here seems to be suffering. She used to force herself to forget those things in the kitchen before, but now when everyone sits together, watching Seeing Miao Miaowu's half-smile look, she couldn't help picking the insole with her toes.

Fortunately, Miao Miaowu didn't always say that, she had said enough before, as for the doubts in her heart, she had to wait until tomorrow when she had dinner with An Hongdou at noon.

So she talked about her current troubles.

When I first started making videos, Miao Miaowu was still very thin, weighing no more than a hundred catties, and her face was still oval. From the side, there were still obvious lines on her chin, but now her face has become small round face.

Although I go to the gym every day, since I became a food blogger, I have higher requirements for food, so I eat not bad every day, which makes me unable to lose weight.

Hearing Miao Miaowu's words, An Hongdou quickly said that she was the same, and said that Miao Miaowu actually didn't look fat at all, and kept praising and comforting her, for fear that Miao Miaowu would become more emo as she talked, and finally put Douluo also came out with his own affairs.

An Hongdou knows that Miao Miao Wu is not the kind of big mouth who likes to gossip everywhere, but he has not told her in advance about this matter, if Miao Miao Wu misunderstands a certain part of it, it will be bad .

"Hongdou can really talk." Miao Miaowu certainly understood why An Hongdou was so considerate today.

Just chatting about Miao Miaowu in this way, about an hour later, bursts of delicious smell came from the kitchen.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look." Chen Nian said.

Get up and go to the kitchen, the kitchen is full of delicious smell of fish and lamb.

Fish is not fishy, ​​and mutton is not smelly.

All the essence in each body has been selflessly dedicated.

Smelling this smell, even though Chen Nian had already eaten at five o'clock in the afternoon, he still couldn't help being aroused by the gluttons.

Looking into the pot, the milky white thick soup in the pot is slightly gurgling due to the low fire. Although the fish has been boiled for more than an hour, it has not broken. A layer of skin bound tightly.

It's just that its body looks fuller than before, obviously it's full of soup.

The mutton is accompanied by the left and right, changing positions constantly with the flow of water, the part of the lean meat is a little grayer, and the part of the fat is white and sun-stained, it is really like a lamb in a sunny afternoon He kept running happily around the crucian carp.

While running, the wool on my body was fluffy and trembling...

Turn off the heat and serve the soup.

Aged Nian took out the mutton and fish and put them into a porcelain plate, with a little skill in plate arrangement, and then poured the soup into it.

Filter out the fine debris in the original pot, making this pot of fresh fish and mutton soup look more pure.

"The soup is here!" Chen Nian came outside excitedly with the soup in his hand. He had read the recipe just now, and now the completion of Yuyangxian has reached 93%, a full increase of nearly 20%.

This shows that the current direction is right.

After putting the fresh fish and sheep on the table, Chen Nian turned around to get the bowls, chopsticks, spoons and various dipping sauces. The dipping sauces are to be used when eating lamb later.

It was the first time An Hongdou had seen this dish.

Although she was watching the whole process of processing the ingredients just now, she always felt that fish and mutton would be delicious together.

Because the taste of fish and lamb is obviously not the same type.

Until now, when she saw the bowl of meat in the soup basin, the soup like suet and white jade was like a mirror, and from the slight ripples on its surface, she could feel that the soup must be very fragrant.

Even though she doesn't know how to cook, she often goes online to watch food videos. After watching a lot, she naturally understands that some glue on the skin of the fish came out when the fish was stewed.

However, this dish also has some shortcomings in her opinion now, that is, the fish meat may not taste like anything. After all, fish itself has a taste, and it will not be greasy if you eat more, not to mention crucian carp, which eats meat while eating. Spitting out thorns is also enough to take up most of a person's energy.

But mutton is different. If you eat too much mutton, you will definitely feel a little greasy.

Although it is said that this is a soup dish, it is mainly for drinking soup, but you can't finish the soup and throw away the meat, right?
But it didn't take long before Chen Nian brought over the prepared dipping sauce, dispelling An Hongdou's last worries.

After everyone filled the soup, Chen Nian didn't show any courtesy. He couldn't wait to take a sip. The barking white soup that was gurgling in the pot was very calm at the moment. The thin layer of oil droplets on the soup was blown aside like a cloud.

Sucked lightly along the edge of the bowl, making a small sound.

The soup is not fishy at all, but rather sweet, but the sweetness is not the sweetness of sugar, but the kind of sweetness that comes with delicious food, and although the soup is thick, it is not at all mushy, but very refreshing.

At the moment, it was drizzling outside, and the air was slightly cold, but at this moment, after taking a sip of the soup, the delicious smell could not stop reverberating in his mouth. The soft and mellow taste stimulated the senses of Chen Nian, and the pores of Chen Nian's body could not help but As he relaxes, his forehead and the tip of his nose also sweat slightly, causing the cold air attached to his body to escape like a snake and scorpion, and it is replaced by a warm and comfortable feeling.

If it weren't for the two ladies in front of him, he really wanted to take off his shirt and enjoy this delicious supper shirtless.

Then I picked up a piece of mutton and put it in my mouth. After a long time of stewing, the mutton was also stewed soft, but because the mutton neck was selected for aging, the texture itself is very firm, so it tastes fresh and springy , with a long aftertaste.

This piece of lamb was not dipped in any seasoning, including in the pot, and it was aged without much seasoning.

But even so, the fragrance of the mutton itself has been aroused to the maximum extent under the careful training of the aging.

When Chen Nian was serving the soup, he put fish and mutton in everyone's bowls. After eating the mutton, Chen Nian focused on the piece of crucian carp.

When I was eating at noon, I experienced the deliciousness of crucian carp when I was eating it. Although the crucian carp meat was not stewed well at that time, its taste was quite good.

Carefully put the crucian carp into the mouth as well, the tongue deftly flips up and down, matching the teeth and the upper and lower jaws, separating the fish bones one by one.

The process is quite skilled.

Spitting out fishbone requires skill. If you are not used to eating this kind of fish with many spines, it is recommended to try two kinds of fish such as sea bass and mandarin fish. Relatively speaking, there are much fewer spines.

Crucian carp is one of the very common freshwater fish. It lives in major water systems outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Its meat is tender and has high nutritional value. However, when talking about crucian carp, the first thing many people think of is to use crucian carp to make soup. .

Because we all know that crucian carp has many spines, it may be troublesome to eat. If it is stewed into soup, the soup will become the protagonist, and then eat some fish, and it is fun to pick out the spines.

Otherwise, if the fish is fried directly, picking the spines will become the main task.

After picking out all the fish bones in the old age, I began to taste the fish carefully. Just like at noon, the taste of crucian carp is still very tender, the meat is loose but not loose, extremely delicate, and it tastes better than other fish. Some.

The word "never tire of food" is best interpreted in crucian carp.

"it is good!"

Suddenly there was an admiration, but it was not what Chen Nian said, but Miao Miao Wu!
"This fish and sheep delicacy is really something. I was a little worried when I came here. After all, drinking fish and mutton stewed soup at night will explode the purines, and it is easy to gain weight, but now I realize the real value after eating it!"

"That's right, how can you lose weight if you don't eat well!" An Hongdou said in agreement, but she didn't praise this sentence just because she was taken advantage of, but because she usually did This is how it is done.

Miao Miaowu couldn't help turning her head to take a look, only to see the fish in An Hongdou bowl.

It was a piece of fish belly.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but secretly sighed in her heart.

"Sure enough, the treatment is different. The fish belly is the most delicious part of the fish, especially crucian carp, which is not particularly fat. On the contrary, it tastes very tender, and you don't have to worry about getting stuck by fish bones. Sure enough, I was too worried before, and these two people don't need to match up at all!"

Although they didn't express their hearts to each other, their various behaviors seemed to be running in both directions.

But this is the interesting part. They don't know each other's intentions, but they have secret feelings in each other's hearts.

So from now on, Miao Miaowu feels that she should not play the role of a matchmaker, just being an observer is enough.

But Chen Nian doesn't know this, he only knows that his fish and sheep fresh this time is actually very successful, as for the remaining 8%, Chen Nian is sure to make up for it in the remaining few days superior.

Soon the three of them finished the whole pot of fresh fish and goat, and they all ate to their hearts' content.

But when Chen Nian was cleaning up and washing, Miao Miaowu's cell phone rang suddenly, she picked it up and took a look: "No, I have to go, a friend asked me to sing, I just ate too much today, go out Play around, digest and digest, then wait here for red beans, it’s not safe for a girl to go alone at night, wait for Chen Nian to clean up the kitchen and ask him to take you back."

After speaking, Miao Miaowu left without the slightest sloppiness.

It wasn't until after she walked out of the hotel that she took out her mobile phone again. There was no new WeChat message on it. The sound just now was just the latest international war news push.

Although I decided to be an observer in the future, I still have to give them a little room for development.

Of course, it would be more fun if An Hongdou changed his mind because of a slip of the tongue with himself tonight, and then mustered up the courage to confess his love to Chen Nian.

But this matter cannot be forced, and there is no rush.

Just after Miaomiaowu left, Chen Nian also cleaned up the back kitchen and closed the door to send An Hongdou back together, but now Chen Nian is mainly thinking about how to improve the last 8% of the fresh fish and sheep.

But because Chen Nian has cooked this dish twice today, he doesn't have any thoughts in his mind for the time being.

So he told An Hongdou about his current confusion.

"Are you trying to make this soup better?" An Hongdou was a little surprised, because in her opinion, the soup made for a long time is already very good, and there is no problem even if it is sold out.

However, she can also somewhat understand Chen Nian’s thoughts. After all, she is also like this when she is creating. Usually, after she has finished creating her work, she will show it to her friends. Many friends think it is already very good. Works, but An Hongdou feels that there is still room for improvement.

Maybe it's just adding an extra chord in a certain section or changing the melody of the prelude slightly.

"In terms of food, I can only eat, so if I am asked to give some detailed opinions, I may really not be able to say anything, but I think that since you are making soup, you can also refer to it in Guangdong. In Bian and Fujian, they are still very good at making soup."

"Guangdong?"

The name of a province that suddenly flashed from An Hongdou's mouth lifted Chen Nian's spirit!
"That's right! Cantonese people know how to make soup! Why didn't I remember that?"

"It's a pity that I worked with Mr. Qiao for so long before!"

"If you want to continue to improve the taste and nutritional value of the soup, it would be inferior if you just add ordinary seasonings to it, but if you add traditional Chinese medicine to it...then the nutritional value will not go up any time soon?"

"Moreover, many Chinese medicinal materials are also a kind of seasoning, such as cornel, cloves, ginseng, wolfberry, etc..."

And after An Hongdou's point, although Chen Nian has not yet determined what medicinal ingredients he wants to put in the soup, he has found a way to move on!
