Chapter 18 So Sour!so spicy!So cool!

Cut the fungus and shiitake mushrooms into shreds, peel the tomatoes and cut them into cubes, cut the tofu into small pieces, tear apart the enoki mushrooms, beat the eggs, cut the shallots, mince the ginger, and finally cut the lean meat into shreds, add onion ginger juice and cooking wine , sesame oil, etc., mix well, put aside and marinate for flavor...

In fact, Jiang Yu's knife skills can only be considered average. At the beginning, the fungus shreds were big and small, and sometimes he needed to make up the knife, but as he cut more and more vegetables, his knife skills visibly changed. alright.

For other people, this feeling is not strong, but Jiang Yu can clearly feel that his knife skills have improved.

This also confirmed his previous conjecture from another aspect: as he is in charge of the gourmet system, he has indeed enhanced his culinary talent in disguise.

But at this moment, Jiang Yu didn't have time to feel it carefully. There were already students queuing up outside the window in advance. He had to make the soup quickly.

"Are you making hot and sour soup?"

Seeing Jiang Yu handle all kinds of ingredients properly, even if Hu Zhihai doesn't like vegetarian dishes, he can still know what he is doing. After all, this soup is so common that people in the south have eaten it.

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "That's right, drinking hot and sour soup in summer can appetize and eliminate food, dispel dampness and relieve greasy, much healthier than drinking beverages."

"That's true, the hot and sour soup, drink it in one gulp, it's sour and spicy, and paired with soup dumplings, it's perfect!"

As soon as he said it, Hu Zhihai was so excited that his saliva was about to flow down. He urged,
"Do it quickly, do it quickly, and leave me a big bowl later!"

As for what he said before that he was a pure carnivore and didn't eat these dishes, he had already forgotten about it.

Jiang Yu ignored him, put the processed ingredients aside, turned on the gas stove, lit it, and poured cooking oil into the pot.

After the oil in the pot is heated and smokes, pour in the diced tomatoes and stir-fry continuously until the red oil is fried, then add water to the pot and boil, then add the chopped shiitake mushrooms, fungus, and enoki mushrooms in turn , tofu and marinated shredded pork and other ingredients.

After turning on high heat to boil all kinds of ingredients for a minute or two, Jiang Yu took out a metal seasoning pot from the side and put two tablespoons of pre-prepared seasoning sauce into the pot.

This seasoning sauce is not made casually, but a secret formula that he spent 2180 wealth points to exchange from the system mall. It can be said that the recipe of this seasoning sauce is the key to making appetizing and refreshing hot and sour soup The essential.

Just after two tablespoons of seasoning sauce melted in the pot, a fresh, rich, hot, sour and refreshing smell rushed to the face, making people salivate.

"Grass holding! It's sour and spicy. The taste is so delicious, I can't stand it!"

Hu Zhihai, who had been standing on the sidelines and staring, smelled the smell, couldn't help it, and yelled loudly,
"Old Jiang, please, hurry up, I haven't had breakfast yet, and the smell makes me even more hungry!"

"Don't worry, it's almost ready!"

Jiang Yu himself didn't hold back, swallowed quietly, and quickly poured the egg liquid that had been beaten long ago into the pot while stirring it into flocculents, then added water starch in two batches to thicken it, and then turned to low heat When it boils slightly, sprinkle chopped green onions into the pot.

A refreshing scallion fragrance immediately pierced the tip of the nose.

At this point, the hot and sour soup is done.

"Taste how it tastes first!"

Reaching out to turn off the fire, Jiang Yu filled a small bowl first, handed it to Hu Zhihai who had been waiting anxiously, and reminded with a smile,
"Take it easy, don't get blistered!"

"No, no!"

Hu Zhihai immediately smiled, quickly reached out to take the bowl, and lowered his head to examine it carefully.

This hot and sour soup looks amazing.

Tender white tofu, black fungus, pink tomatoes, and golden flocculent eggs...

These ingredients with bright colors and different tastes come from all directions, all gathered in one pot, and float in this thick soup.

Embellished with tender green scallions, the whole bowl of soup seems to be given life, and the whole thing is alive.

This soup has been thickened, and the heat and aroma seem to be locked by a layer of film. Only when you get close can you smell the hot and sour taste that seems to be there.

It is precisely this kind of attitude of wanting to refuse and exchange, which makes people more addicted, like a little hand scratching the tip of your heart, making your heart itchy.

Smelling the aroma, Hu Zhihai couldn't bear it any longer, he didn't even use a spoon, he pursed his lips and blew a few times, then he picked up the bowl and took a big gulp.

As soon as he took this hot and sour soup into his mouth, his face flushed instantly, fine beads of sweat visible to the naked eye emerged from his forehead, and then merged into bean-sized ones, sliding down from his temples.

After a while, he swallowed the mouthful of the soup, and then immediately opened his mouth, made two huffs, and said with surprise on his face:

"So sour, so spicy, so refreshing! It's so fucking enjoyable!"

At the end of August, Jiangzhou is still hot and dry. When the temperature rises, the whole person is groggy and unable to lift his spirits.

After taking this hot and sour soup, I was sweating all over my body, and my whole body felt a lot clearer, and even my body felt lighter.

Just when Hu Zhihai was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the hot and sour soup, a person suddenly came from the window:

"Boss, I, I'm here, can I come in now?"

Hu Zhihai looked back, it turned out to be the girl who came over last night and Mao Sui recommended herself to be a waiter.

"Oh, you're here, come in first."

He smiled and nodded towards Yan Tongtong, then turned his head and shouted inside,
"Lao Jiang, the girl from the work-study program is here."

Jiang Yu just planned to continue making buns, but after hearing this, he put down his work and walked out.

It was a little late last night, and he didn't actually ask in detail, and he didn't even know the basic situation of this girl, so he still needs to get to know her again at this moment.

After walking out, Jiang Yu realized that this girl was quite good-looking.

She is tall and well-proportioned, with neat short hair, wheat-colored skin that looks healthy and energetic, an oval face, and two big black eyes that seem to be talking, smart and energetic.

At this moment, the girl was standing aside, talking to Hu Zhihai.

"Come here, let me introduce you. This is the owner of our steamed stuffed bun shop, Jiang Yu. He made the soup dumplings himself."

Seeing Jiang Yu coming, Hu Zhihai briefly introduced the girl, then turned his head and said to Jiang Yu with a smile,
"This is Yan Tongtong, a junior in the Department of Literature, a native of our Jiangzhou, she came to apply for a waiter, the purpose is to exercise her ability.

Of course, the most important thing is that she also likes to eat soup dumplings in our store, and hopes to share it with more people who love food through herself. "
