Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 616 Hello, I want that (ask for a monthly ticket)
"I want to eat Chaoshan raw pickles."

After hearing the name, Chen Nian couldn't help being stunned for a moment. To be precise, this is not a dish, but a way of doing it.

And the method is also very simple, that is, clean the clean ingredients and cut them raw, and then soak them in a special marinade.

"This thing may not be suitable for us..." Chen Nian reminded.

After all, when I was in school, there was a book dedicated to this kind of microorganisms and parasites, and it was considered a big subject, because it was related to food safety to a great extent.

"But they often eat this in the video and on TV, and it looks very delicious." An Hongdou said.

And looking at An Hongdou's anticipation, Chen Nian couldn't help sighing: "Okay, this can definitely be done, but I have to take a look at the ingredients in it, it must be fresh."

"Okay!" Seeing that Chen Nian agreed, Hongdou immediately showed joy on his face.

Then Chen Nian took a few pots, and then planned to take out the ingredients inside to have a look at the situation first.

The types of ingredients bought by red beans this time are quite rich, including three-eyed crabs, blood clams, and Pippi shrimp, and the inside of the Pippi shrimp is still yellow.

There are also small blue dragons, cherry blossom shrimps, oysters...

But these things are also alive.

"How did you bring so many things here by yourself..." Chen Nian couldn't help feeling curious when he looked at the big basket of live seafood, which was still filled with water and oxygenated.

"I don't know, I just wanted to eat, and I wanted you to help me make it, so I moved here in a daze, but these things add up to be quite heavy."

An Hongdou said with a little embarrassment, Chen Nian suddenly thought of the kind of girl who couldn't even open the bottle cap in the movie theater, and when there was no water in the office, she went upstairs with her bare hands, and then slammed , Insert the bucket upside down on the water dispenser.

"These ingredients seem to be very fresh, and they are all fresh, and I saw that there are seafood in them, so I will make it."

"Okay!" An Hongdou watched Chen Nian bring the sorted seafood into the kitchen, and she followed in: "Do you need my help?"

Chen Nian deliberately said not to use it, but after thinking about it, it seems that it is not appropriate to say so. Maybe some girls like that, but An Hongdou is the kind of girl with strong self-esteem, and she also likes the kind of girl who is needed by others. a feeling of.

So finally said: "Then why don't you come with me and wash these things first."

"Okay!" As soon as she heard that she could help Chen Nian, An Hongdou rolled up her sleeves on the spot, revealing her two thin arms.

"Remember to wear gloves." Chen Nian said, then found two pairs of gloves from the cabinet, and handed them to An Hongdou to put them on first.

So as not to be hurt by the sharp thorns on the seafood while handling the seafood.

Although shrimp and crabs are all salvaged from the sea, it is best to brush them well in running water.

Sighing in his heart while brushing the old years.

To be honest, he himself really wants to try raw marinade. As a cook, one of his wishes is to eat delicious food from all over the world.

But the major he studied told him that there are parasites in this kind of food, and for many foreigners, the stomach may not be able to adapt to this kind of food.

But after much deliberation, Chen Nian decided to give it a try.

So the two of them kept brushing the seafood with brushes in front of the pool.

For example, aged shrimp and crabs are all handled by myself, and some shellfish are handed over to red beans for aging, otherwise, even if they wear gloves, the thorns on these seafood may penetrate through them. in hand.

An Hongdou had a great time dealing with it there, holding a brush to carefully clean every inch of the shellfish's skin.

After washing, put them into the basin again, and then start to further process the seafood after aging. When the time comes, just put the shrimp or something directly into the basin to marinate.

Three-eyed crabs and butter crabs are aged and cut in half directly from the middle, and then thrown into the large plate.

After all the seafood was put on the big plate, Chen Nian asked the red beans to help wash the coriander, while he started to peel the garlic by himself.

As a chef, he naturally has his own way of peeling garlic. Put the unpeeled garlic on the chopping board, pat it lightly with a kitchen knife, and then lift the tail of the garlic and shake it, and the garlic will fall out.

After finishing all the garlic, Chen Nian started to make minced garlic again, and finally the minced garlic peeled out by Chen Nian filled a large bowl.

Followed by peppers, coriander, shallots, ginger, a little garlic, and a few lemons.

"Do you want to put the coriander root in too?" An Hongdou asked curiously as she watched the old man put the seasoning ingredients into another pot.

"If you make this, you can put it in, because the taste of coriander root will be stronger."

"Oh, I see."

An Hongdou nodded half understanding.

After aging, salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, light soy sauce, fish sauce, white vinegar, wasabi, and chili oil were added to it.

"Red bean, help me get a few bottles of mineral water from the front."

After receiving the mineral water, Chen Nian opened the lid and poured it in. The main reason is that this pot of seafood is enough for raw. If raw water is used again, it is a bit unacceptable for Chen Nian to use clean mineral water. The last stubborn.

"Do you want to stir it evenly next?"

"Yes." Chen Nian nodded, "Do you want to try it?"

"Can I do it?" An Hongdou said as she stepped forward to take the spoon from Chen Nian's hand.

Then I stirred vigorously.

At this time, Chen Nian went to the wine cabinet outside to take a look, and finally took a bottle of Wuliangye.

Although the normal price of this bottle of Wuliangye alone is more than 1000, it is nothing compared to that pot of seafood.

After going back, Chen Nian directly opened the lid and poured the wine into the seafood.

"Give them a bath first, and let them drink first." Chen Nian said while talking, but the shrimp inside immediately started to pop up, making Chen Nian covered all over his body.

All of a sudden, the kitchen was full of laughter.

Soon An Hongdou asked: "Chen Nian, do you want to sterilize them like this? I heard that there are many parasites in such seafood..."

But Chen Nian shook his head: "That's not true, these seafood live in the sea, and the environment in the sea is high pressure, high salt, and even high temperature, so if there are really parasites in it, the wine with more than 50 degrees is not suitable for For them, it was just a bath.

Unless you pour more than 70% alcohol into it and put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours, maybe you can kill some of them. "

Chen Nian explained.

"Then what should we do?" An Hongdou suddenly felt a little panicked.

Chen Nian stopped what he was doing at this time: "Either let's heat up these seafood, the best way to deal with parasites is to heat them at high temperature, cook them, and then it should be good to make seafood with sauce. "

But An Hongdou hesitated for a while after listening: "Forget it, or else we should eat raw pickled food, after all, I have wanted to eat this for a long time."

Chen Nian had no choice but to nod his head: "Well, if this is the case, then I will continue to do it,"

After pouring the wine into it, after a while the movement of the seafood in it became quieter, and Chen Nian came to the side again, and together with An Hongdou, he picked up a basin and poured all the prepared sauce into the large bowl containing seafood. inside the basin.

"Is this all right?" An Hongdou asked.

"Of course not. Now we have to put them in the freezer for a while, so that they can add more flavor." After talking, Chen Nian picked up the pot, asked the red beans to open the front of the freezer, and then put the big pot of raw marinated seafood put it in.

"What are we going to do now?" An Hongdou asked.

Chen Nian looked at his girlfriend like a curious baby, asking what to do next at every step.

"Next... I'll make some porridge to drink next, and I can't just eat this."

Then Chen Nian got water and rice in the pot again, planning to make a pot of white porridge and mix it up later.

In this way, even if the stomach and intestines feel some discomfort due to the raw salt, you can use porridge to relieve it.

"Then what's next?" An Hongdou asked again.

"Next, let's close the store and go out to buy something."

"what?"

Just when Hongdou was puzzled, Chen Nian took her hand, went directly outside and closed the door, and then walked towards the other side of the street.

"Wait here for me first, I'll go in and buy something." Chen Nian said.

As a result, An Hongdou watched Chen Nian walk into the pharmacy, and his brain started to spin instantly. What would Chen Nian go in to buy?
Why did you go to the pharmacy all right?

Could it be... buy that?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush, but she is not a conservative person, and she also believes that Chen Nian will not let her down in the future.

It's just that even though she thought so in her heart, she was still a little nervous, and her palms were sweating.

Came to the counter after watching the vintage enter the drugstore.

"Hello, what do you want to buy?"

An aunt in a white coat in the pharmacy raised her head and asked.

"Hello, I want to buy some of that..." Suddenly, Chen Nian forgot the name of the medicine he wanted to buy, so he got stuck while talking.

As a result, the aunt seemed to understand immediately: "Oh, I see, it's that one, right?"

She only thought of it as a young man like Chen Nian and was embarrassed to say it, but usually such young people come to the pharmacy to buy that?

So he took out a small pink box directly from the medicine cabinet beside him.

"When you go back, remember to eat within 72 hours after the event. The sooner you eat, the better the effect."

When Chen Nian looked down, his face immediately turned red.

"Auntie, I don't want this, I don't want this medicine."

"Don't want this?" The aunt of the pharmacy looked at Chen Nian and then at the medicine box on the glass counter, "Oh, young people are quite responsible."

While talking, he put the medicine back in its original place, but soon took out a bigger box from the other side.

The packaging of this box is pretty good-looking, but Chen Nian didn't notice any trademark on the surface of the box when he first saw it, but instead saw a big 001 written on it.

At this time, he also knew that his aunt had misunderstood.

"Auntie, I didn't want to buy this kind of thing. I just forgot what I wanted to buy just now. Now that I remember, I want to buy a stomach medicine."

"Stomach medicine?" Auntie was surprised when she heard this, "What do you call stomach medicine?"

"I just didn't remember it for a while."

"Okay, okay, but what kind of stomach medicine do you want to buy? Ordinary stomach pain or gastritis?"

"It's because I'm afraid of parasites after eating raw salt, so I bought a medicine and took it."

As a result, the auntie sighed on the spot when she heard this: "If you are really like this, I don't recommend you to buy medicine in the pharmacy. I'm really afraid that there is something wrong with your stomach. It is better to go to the hospital for an examination."

"Well, if there is any medicine, can I take it first, because I'm not sure if anything will happen."

Seeing that Chen Nian insisted on buying medicine, the aunt said, "Okay, I'll get you some." As she said that, she went to the cabinet beside her and began to look for it. After a while, she brought medicines such as antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and insecticide. "If you really have a problem, if it comes in a hurry, take the medicine first. It should have a certain relief effect. There are also some prescription drugs that I can't prescribe for you without a doctor's order. In short, if you have a problem, you must go to the hospital in time, you know? This kind of thing Don't delay."

Chen Nian nodded after seeing the medicine box.

"Okay, thank you ma'am."

After paying the money, when Chen Nian walked out with the medicine box, his aunt told him: "But don't eat carelessly, take it according to the instructions, and if you really feel sick to your stomach, you must go to the hospital in time. "

"Okay, thank you auntie."

Then Chen Nian walked out of the pharmacy. Seeing Chen Nian coming out, An Hongdou couldn't help being a little nervous, but she didn't have the nerve to ask Chen Nian what medicine he bought.

Walking back and forth like this, Chen Nian asked curiously, "Why didn't you ask me what medicine I bought?"

This question made An Hongdou blush: "Isn't that the one? Then there's no need to ask?"

When Chen Nian heard this, he said in admiration: "At first I thought you didn't understand these things, but I didn't expect you to know that I was going to buy some stomach medicine. After all, we are taking it for the first time, so we still have to be fully prepared. .”

"Stomach medicine?" An Hongdou couldn't help being stunned after hearing this.

"Yeah, I didn't think of it until the last time I was cooking porridge. Otherwise, after the two of us finish eating, maybe our stomach will become a front-loading washing machine."

An Hongdou's face was a little unnatural at the moment, and his face turned even redder. It turned out that Chen Nian was going to buy stomach medicine, but he thought that way just now.

"An Hongdou, An Hongdou, you used to be a pure and well-behaved girl, why did you become like this now that you have a boyfriend?"

An Hongdou kept asking herself in her heart.

But since it was dark now, Chen Nian never noticed the unnatural expression on An Hongdou's face...

"Hongdou, are you a little hot now? Why are your palms sweating?"
