Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 452 Nine Turns of the Large Intestine

But suddenly after aging, I thought that if I use an oven, it may be a bit dry, after all, the temperature of the oven may not be enough.

If you fry it in a frying pan or bake it with an open flame, it should be about the same.

Afterwards, make a separate sauce and dip it in.

Although I'm just thinking about it in my mind at the moment, the old mouth seems to have that taste, the outer skin is baked or fried crispy, and the taste of the carefully prepared sauce is firmly locked on the large intestine after cooking. Bite down, there is a crackling sound, and then the soft and elastic texture jumps in the mouth.

At the same time, it also has a faint unique taste of large intestine, which is beautiful just thinking about it.

"Why are you smirking there?" Master Sun asked curiously looking at the subtle expression on Chen Nian's face.

"Master, I suddenly thought of a senior."

"Senior? What senior?"

"It's the father of a Mr. Yu, Mr. Wang, the commander of the Mongolian Navy. His best thing is the freshest bite of intestines. When the pig is pulled out of the stomach during slaughter, he sucks the head directly. I heard that he still Call that thing large intestine sashimi." Chen Nian said proficiently, he had heard this passage for countless days and nights.

As a result, Master Sun frowned after hearing this: "? What kind of mess are you talking about, Mr. Yu's father can still be called Mr. Wang? Does Mongolia have a sea? Just the commander of the navy? And who will be in the pig? Pull out the large intestine after just killing, and suck at the head of the intestine! Is it disgusting, isn't that a fool?"

"Rumours! Rumors! These are all rumors. I don't think there are such people in the world." Chen Nian said with a smile.

But Master Sun waved his hand: "It's okay if you listen to the fun under the overpass, don't say such disgusting things in the kitchen when you come back."

"Master, I won't say these things anymore." Chen Nian hurriedly stood at attention, admitting his mistake, just now he just wanted to be clever, although the cleverness was indeed a bit inappropriate.

But fortunately, Chen Nian is not the kind of person who usually shakes and is clever, so it doesn't hurt to make a mistake once in a while.

After all, who in this life hasn't been inappropriate, saying and missing a few words regardless of the occasion?
After the intestines were wrapped and tied with bamboo sticks, Master Sun was ready to go to the pot for blanching.

The main thing is to remove the smell on it to a certain extent, and at the same time break the intestines.

And Chen Nian took advantage of this time to peel potatoes aside. Naturally, the shredded potatoes that so many people ate couldn't be finished with three or five pieces.

It's just that there is no conflict between peeling potatoes and Chen Nian learning the skill of Jiuzhuan large intestine from Master Sun.

Mr. Sun, who has seen the age clearly, put some rice wine, green onion and ginger into the pot while blanching the water. It seems that Shandong cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine like to put rice wine in the pot.

"Master, what's the difference between the rice wine you usually put and the rice wine in Huaiyang cuisine? Or is it the rice wine you put there?" Seeing the old age here, I couldn't help but ask.

"There is a difference, because when it comes to rice wine, most people must think of Shaoxing rice wine, but that is just southern rice wine, while I use northern rice wine.

Southern rice wine is mainly fermented with koji and wheat koji. The raw material is glutinous rice. If it is classified, it belongs to rice rice wine. However, our northern rice wine is fermented with bran koji made by Aspergillus, and millet is used as raw material. brewed.

Because big yellow rice is the main food here, just like you can see that Shanxi vinegar and Zhenjiang vinegar are different.

But, the southern rice wine is indeed more famous than the northern rice wine. Even in the north, there are still a lot of southern rice wine passed down. "

Only then did Chen Nian nodded in a sudden realization. He didn't know this before, because when it came to rice wine, he knew Shaoxing rice wine and the like.

In addition, a classmate of his from Shanxi seems to have said that there is rice wine in Dai County, but that kind of rice wine tastes sour and sweet, and basically has no alcohol taste.

"You are still young, you can go out and have a look while you can walk. There is a kind of similar kind in Shaanxi, but it is called thick wine, which looks like the bean paste in the bean paste bun. When you drink it Add some water and some sugar, then put it in a pot and boil it.

It’s just that when you drink it, you can feel a little naughty, but the taste is not bad. We used to have a cook from Shaanxi Yihu. After the Chinese New Year, he brought some from his hometown for us to taste. "

"I see." Chen Nian thought that he was engaged in the catering industry and had been to many places. He thought he had a good understanding of the customs of many places in the motherland, but now it seems that he is still far behind.

While talking, Chen Nian had already peeled more than a dozen potatoes, and Master Sun had already blanched his intestines.

"It is said that it is a nine-turn large intestine, so when the time comes, this dish will have all kinds of flavors. The five flavors of life are sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. In addition to these five flavors, there must be a visceral flavor. It does not have a visceral flavor when cooked in water. It can't."

"That's true. Generally speaking, most people who can eat the smell of viscera can also eat offal. Those who don't like to eat offal, even if they don't have this smell, they can't eat it." Clearly, for example, my mother is such a person.

I don't like to eat fatty meat, and I don't like to eat offal.

Don't say it's because it's not delicious, even if it's delicious, she doesn't want to touch it at all.

There are also some people who simply don't like meat.

No matter how delicious it is, they don't touch it at all.

"Then what are the five flavors that master has except the smell of viscera?" Chen Nian continued to ask.

"Bitter is the bitterness of fried sugar, sour is the sourness of rice vinegar, and spicy is the spicyness of pepper. It is red in red, sweet and sour, and has the aroma of cinnamon powder and amomum powder in the mouth." Master Sun explained.

After such an explanation of the old age, I can understand it. Although the fried sugar color is almost the same, it will not be bitter, but it should still have a little taste when making this dish, but this taste is not special. obvious.

The main reason is that after adding other seasonings, the taste can be completely suppressed.

While explaining to Chen Nian, Master Sun took out the fat intestines from the pot. At this time, Chen Nian saw that the intestines were bulging when they were cooking in the pot.

But after taking it out, the places where the bamboo sticks were stuck were still steaming, which was especially obvious when compared with other steaming places under light pressure.

"Master, is it possible to deflate the air with a bamboo stick? I see that the intestines have swelled up after cooking. If there are no air holes, the intestines may collapse during cooking." After Chen Nian discovered this asked immediately.

But at this time, Master Sun showed a somewhat surprised expression: "I planned to tell you when I pulled out the bamboo sticks, but I didn't expect you to see it first, it is what you said.

In fact, the difficulty of this dish is that it is difficult to pay attention to all kinds of small places, and there must be no mistakes. "

At this time, the old potatoes hadn't been peeled yet, and Master Sun didn't let Chen Nian come over to continue working. Instead, he scooped up some water with a ladle to rinse the intestines.

Regarding this part of the small details, he thought that there was no need to talk to Chen Nian, so he didn't open his mouth, but in fact, Chen Nian also knew that this step was also to get rid of the smell.

Otherwise, after the large intestine is taken out of the pot, there will always be some blood foam on it.

"Master, what are you going to do next?"

"Next, let's go to the pot to cook, aniseed, dried chili, cinnamon, cumin, pepper, and then put some green onions and ginger. Be careful not to cut the ginger skin. It's best to put it here, and then put it in Add some white wine and rice wine..." At this point, Master Sun couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, don't tell me, it seems that I have quite a lot of rice wine here.

This big pot drinks more wine than I do all day long, and it would be nice to be a big iron pot in my next life. I don’t have to do anything every day, and I can feel happy eating vegetables and drinking wine. "

"Master, you're so funny, but if you say that, wouldn't it be nice to be a shovel in the wine workshop?" Chen Nian couldn't help but cheered from the side.

"Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard someone say that someone wants to be a shovel, but if you want to be a shovel, you might as well be a big wine tank." Master Sun also joked with a smile.

The laughter of the two kept ringing, and the atmosphere was extremely pleasant and relaxed.

For a moment the kitchen was filled with cheerful air.

"Have you peeled your potatoes yet?"

"It's finished, master."

"Okay, okay, then you go and cut into shreds first, you should be able to make fried potato shreds, I won't teach you that." Master Sun poured soy sauce into the pot and gave Chen Nian another important Task.

Cutting potato shreds is really not a difficult job for aging, at best it is a physical job.

After all, the difficulty of cutting potato shreds is many times smaller than that of Wensi tofu.

"Don't put too much soy sauce, mainly to suppress the color. After adding soy sauce, you don't need to put salt in it, and then cook like this for more than half an hour."

Saying that, Master Sun put the lid on the pot.

And Chen Nian started to attack the pot full of potatoes.

The goal now is to shred these potatoes. With the dancing of the knife shadow, the sound of the kitchen knife colliding with the chopping board sounds pleasing to the eye with a clear rhythm.

In addition, fresh potatoes will make a slight rubbing sound when cut, so it will not be particularly boring to do this repetitive work without any movement changes.

Even when Chen Nian was cutting potatoes, he could chat with Master Sun for a while.

Sometimes it was Master Sun who told Chen Nian the story of how he used to cook, and sometimes it was Chen Nian who told the story of being a cook in an opera troupe.

There are never enough stories to tell.

There are so many people who come to eat every day, and there are always some people with special eating habits.

And there are some guests with some unforgettable stories behind them.

The various tastes in the food are just like the tastes of life, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty are what make up all kinds of people in this world.

And during the chat, they talked about the mistress who betrayed the teacher yesterday, and Master Sun also felt a little pity about the mistress.

After all, he thought this kid was actually pretty good before, but he didn't expect such a big ambition, but when his strength now can't match his ambition, he will easily overturn.

……

At the same time, on the other side, Shen San waited until the disciples came out in the morning, and began to arrange for them to practice, but after the arrangement, he left the martial arts hall in front and went to Tang Dechun's room.

Tang Dechun was still bedridden at this time, mainly because the injuries he suffered earlier were a bit serious and could not be healed in a day or two. As a hero of Jinwumen, Shen San was naturally not in a hurry to ask this big disciple to be able to stand up immediately. stand up.

And after observing during the competition, Shen San found that there was nothing wrong with Tang Dechun, but at the beginning he arranged Qian Hu to observe this senior brother. Qian Hu did find out who the senior brother seemed to be secretly communicating with by letter.

And it's definitely the kind of shady one, otherwise there's no need to communicate in that kind of covert way at night.

Deliver aboveboard and no one will say anything.

"Master..." Tang Dechun was lying down, but when he saw Shen San coming in, he struggled and wanted to stand up.

And Shen San quickly stepped forward and held Tang Dechun down: "You don't need to get up, just lie down, I just came to see how you are doing."

"Master, I'm much better. I feel like I can wake up in the afternoon." Tang Dechun said.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you lie down for a while longer. You have proved your strength in the previous battle, but it was me, the master, who held you back." When Shen San said this I still feel a little guilty.

After all, in the arena, his own performance was even worse than that of this big disciple.

"Master..." Tang Dechun didn't know what to say, but he didn't feel that Master was slowing him down. After all, he had been silent for so long, and it was natural for him to be a little unfamiliar, and in the past few years, Master had put more He put all his energy on cultivating his disciples, but neglected himself.

"But Dechun... Besides visiting you this time, I have one more thing I want to ask you. It's just that there was a martial arts competition before, so I didn't tell you all the time. You seem to be still dating Su Yunjin?"

After Tang Dechun heard this, he was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly after about seven or eight seconds: "Master, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have any contact with her..."

And when Shen San first heard the word "sorry", his heart skipped a beat, but now he was a little afraid of these words, because he was worried that Tang Dechun would be like those people before.

Fortunately, Tang Dechun had no such plan.

"I don't think there is any problem with your contact with her. After all, you grew up together. Even if I am your master, I can't deprive you of your personal feelings, but I don't want you to be used to do things that are not good for Jinwumen. Things are coming..." Shen San said, he didn't have too much responsibility for this eldest disciple, but advised in a relatively calm tone.

"Master, I didn't... She did come to me once before, and she did exchange some letters, but Master, I assure you that I have never done anything wrong to betray Jin Wumen, and neither did Yun Jin. Ask me anything about Jinwumen..." Tang Dechun promised.

Feeling a little excited.

"Do you still have correspondence?" Shen San asked pretending not to know.

"some."

"Then what exactly did you say?" Shen San felt even more curious when he heard this.

But at this time Tang Dechun shook his head: "Master... these apprentices can't say anything, because the apprentices have promised Yunjin before that they will not disclose those contents."

"Why? If there is no problem, why can't you let me know?" Shen San still had some grudges in his heart, he always treated Tang Dechun as his own son in the martial arts gym.

Including the previous Luo Sheng, but later Luo Sheng rebelled against Jinwumen, while Tang Dechun stayed here all the time.

Coupled with yesterday's mistress, Shen San was indeed a little scared.

"Because..." Tang Dechun opened his mouth, but finally sighed, "Master, I really can't say anything, but I can assure you that I will never do anything that is not good for Jinwumen. If the words are half adulterated, the apprentice is willing to suffer from the sky!"

Tang Dechun said it very solemnly, and although Shen San still had some grievances in his heart after hearing this, he still didn't continue to ask because he knew the temperament of his apprentice.

I had no choice but to take a deep look at the other party, and finally nodded slowly:
"I believe you."

"Okay, then you should take care of your injuries first, I have to go and see if they have practiced well, and in the next year, I won't be able to pamper myself like I used to. If I don't practice again, I may even be in the top three next year. Arrived." Shen San regained his smile, patted Tang Dechun's shoulder lightly, then told him a few words, then turned and left.

But Tang Dechun looked at Shen San's somewhat aged back, and felt very guilty in his heart, but he really couldn't tell his master these things.

After Shen San left Tang Dechun's side, his heart was extremely complicated.

He really wanted to know what was written in that letter?
But he was also a little scared.

Because he really didn't want to lose it anymore.

Just like that, I walked to the kitchen.

Shen San thought about going in to change his mood, and by the way, see how the relationship between the two is now.

As a result, before entering the room, I heard laughter coming from inside.

"What delicious food do you two make today?" Shen San took a deep breath, then walked into the kitchen with a smile.

"The third master is here." Seeing this, Sun Fuquan quickly got up and gave up the stool he was sitting on.

"It's okay, it's okay, Master Sun, just sit down." How could Shen San be in the mood to sit down at this moment?

He just planned to come here to take a look, just to change his mood.

"Today's dish is not ordinary, Jiuzhuan Dachang, Sanye's favorite dish! And I will pass this skill to my apprentice by the way."

When Shen San heard this dish, his eyes lit up immediately.

The reason why he made up his mind to recruit Sun Fuquan was because of this dish.

It's a pity that Sun Fuquan only did it once after coming here.

Haven't had it for a few years since then.

But after all, Master Sun was getting old, and it was really hard work for him to handle the work of launching the water there alone.

Moreover, it would be somewhat unsatisfactory if the apprentices in the martial arts hall help to do a lot of work in the end.

It's just that he didn't expect Master Sun to cook this dish again today!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Chen Nian beside him.

It seems that the main reason for Master Sun to make this dish is because of Chen Nian!
