After being dressed as cannon fodder, I feed tyrants by cooking skills

Chapter 16 Song Huanyan

After Jiang Yu finished the work in hand, she felt that it was almost time, so she went to wash her hands and started cooking.

The table is full of ingredients, including chicken, duck, fish and pigs, and various vegetables.The mother-in-law who helped the kitchen also got busy with the work. They had a clear division of labor, and they worked quickly and meticulously. In a short while, the ingredients on the table were cleaned up.

Jiang Yu looked at the big fish on the table. She asked her mother-in-law to help chop off the fish head. She thought about making a dish with the fish head.

Fish head with chopped peppers is a famous traditional dish in the south. Every family eats fish during festivals, which means "more than every year, good luck".Jiang Yu cut a few knives on the fish head, and spread ginger slices under the fish head to remove the fishy smell.Pour the seasoning to marinate, and then she asked a woman to help her chop up the red pepper and minced ginger and garlic.

The pungent and choking chili smell came, and the mother-in-law couldn't help sneezing. She wiped her tears with her sleeve while cutting.

Seeing that the oil in the pot was almost hot, Jiang Yu poured minced ginger and garlic into the pot, picked up a shovel and quickly stir-fried, then poured in the crushed red pepper.As soon as she stir-fried, the spicy taste was immediately aroused. All the women covered their noses with their cuffs, squinted their eyes and hurried out, saying that the kitchen was too suffocating, and they couldn't stay any longer.

Sprinkle with the seasoning, stir fry evenly, spread the chopped pepper sauce on the marinated fish head, put a grate in the pot, wait for the water to boil, and steam for about ten minutes.

The moment Jiang Yu lifted the lid of the pot, not only the women who helped the cook came forward to say that this dish was booming and really festive, but even Mrs. Yang appeared out of nowhere and stared straight at it. Jiang Yu's eyes lit up with the plate in his hand.

"I didn't expect Yutou to be able to do this. This is the first time I've seen it." Mrs. Yang seemed to have opened the door to a new world all at once.

"There are many ways to make fish head. You can make fish head soup, make fish head cakes, and it tastes good if you eat it braised in brown sauce." Taking advantage of the effort to prepare the ingredients, Jiang Yu talked to Mrs. Yang The method of fish head.

But soon, in an inconspicuous corner of the kitchen, a dusty jar attracted Jiang Yu's attention.She wanted to open the jar to find out.

She took off the lid of the jar, and there were some white particles on the lid. She twisted it off with her hands, and it was undissolved salt grains.Jiang Yu felt that this jar was probably something like pickles preserved in salt water.

Sure enough, she guessed almost right, the jar contained salted duck eggs.

Jiang Yu cracked open the salted duck egg and poked it with her chopsticks. A stream of golden oil flowed down the egg to her hand. She picked up a chopstick and the egg yolk was rustling and tasted great.

In fact, she has been here for so long, and she has never seen salted duck eggs.Just now she caught a glimpse of a piece of tofu on the table, and with the oily duck egg yolk, she could make a dish of salted egg yolk tofu.

Seeing Jiang Yu put a few salted duck eggs out of the jar, the cook who was closest to her rushed to stop her. These salted duck eggs were originally salted by their servants and put on the cook's daily meals. Such vulgar things, How can it be eaten as a dish for the host family?

"I can't, I can't, Miss Jiang, this stuff is so salty, how can it be served on the host's dinner table? It can't be done."

Jiang Yu knew that this was the kindness of her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law must have thought that she was going to serve the salted duck eggs directly on the dining table in the main courtyard, but Song Yuanwai spent money to invite her to cook, so she would not do this made.

She pushed the mother-in-law's hand to stop her, and explained: "Auntie, I'm making it with tofu as a side dish." After hearing this, the mother-in-law let go of her hand.

Jiang Yu managed the timing very well, and when all the dishes were ready, it was time for lunch.

The main courtyard sent someone to serve the dishes, and happened to bring a word to Jiang Yu, asking her to follow the person who served the dishes to the main courtyard.I have to say, this Song family is really magnificent, they walked for a while and turned several turns before arriving at the main courtyard.

The dishes were put on the table one by one, and after Yuan Song moved his chopsticks, others picked up the dishes one after another.

After taking a bite of the fish head with chopped peppers, Yuan Song seemed to find it strange that the fish would have a fishy smell if it was not handled properly, so he, a person who never picks and chooses his food, only does not eat fish.

But today the fish was different. The fish was chewed and chewed, but there was no fishy smell. He couldn't help but ask, "How do you cook this fish? Why can't you taste any fishy smell?" ?”

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful!" Song Yuanwai was not stingy with his praise, and immediately boasted.

"Ding dong, congratulations on getting the firework value." Jiang Yu was very pleased that since she came to the town to cook at a rich family's home, the system's broadcast sound has not stopped.

The youngest daughter of the Song family, who was sitting at the table eating quietly, heard what her father said, and she also wanted to try this fish head with chopped peppers. She frowned at the red sliced ​​peppers on the fish head, but she still couldn't hold back her heart. Tempted, the chopsticks in his hand finally stretched out towards that.

I don't know if I tasted it, but it was really unexpected to her when she tasted it. The spicy taste deeply stimulated the tip of her tongue. She took two breaths, and then grabbed the chopsticks towards the plate.Obviously a wealthy lady who is not very good at spicy food, but now she has a soft spot for this spicy dish.

She slapped her mouth that was about to burst into flames with her hand. Beads of sweat had already started to appear on her head, and her entire mouth was as bright red as lipstick, which was very beautiful. She couldn't resist the mouth Pick up the teacup and drink it quickly.

"Cough, cough, cough." Because he drank too fast, he inevitably choked on the water.At this time, there was an outsider standing aside. In order to take care of her image, she took the handkerchief handed over by her maidservant and wiped it carelessly under her body twice.

But when he looked up, he met Jiang Yu who was smiling all over his face.

Now she is a bit quit: "You are a cook, what are you laughing at?" As soon as she said the words, she felt that something was wrong. Usually, her parents always taught her to be lenient and polite to others. of.

She couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands, and subconsciously looked at Song Yuanwai who was sitting in the main seat.

Sure enough, Yuanwai Song still heard her impolite words just now, and he put down his chopsticks with a snap. Although the little girl in front of him was his favorite child, he taught her without any ambiguity. He began to reprimand: " Huanyan, is this how I usually teach you?"

Song Huanyan was taken aback by Song Yuanwai's scolding, she put the dirty handkerchief in her hand, stirred it with two fingers, lowered her head for a while before saying a word; "Father, I know I was wrong .”

The surrounding atmosphere was still very cold, Jiang Yu first blessed her body, and then said with a smile: "I see that Miss also likes my cooking very much, I am happy in my heart, seeing how cute Miss is."

you do not say?Everyone immediately thought of the stubborn little girl who insisted on eating spicy food even though she didn't like it. "噗嗤" I don't know who it is, and I can't help laughing.

Song Yuanwai's tense face collapsed, he smiled too, and even the "stubborn" Song Huanyan smiled, she smiled at Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu responded with a smile.
