Red apricots make spring

Chapter 16 Egg Skin Fish Roll
Washing and dissecting fish is a piece of cake for Wen Wen. She scraped off the fish scales, gills and viscera, picked out the sore tendons, and cleaned the black clothes in the belly of the fish. It took only 5 minutes, two hours. The herring is all packed.When she walked into the kitchen carrying the fish, Mrs. Wang caught a glimpse of her, thinking that she would not kill the fish and came in to ask someone for advice. She was just about to taunt her, but when she saw the fish in her hand, she rubbed it in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, but the onion juice on his hands made him so hot that tears flowed non-stop.

"Cleaned up?" Aunt Liu turned around and was also taken aback. Even if she had to dissect the two fish by herself, it would have taken at least a quarter of an hour. Stretching out her hand, the maid in the upper room who opened her mouth was able to complete it in such a short time.

"Well, I don't know what kind of dishes these two fish are going to be. I didn't dare to further process them." Rourou said and handed the fish over.

Mrs. Liu took the fish and inspected it carefully for a long time. Not only could she not find any faults, but she also had to admit that the fish killed by Wenrou was cleaner than hers. She couldn't help but look at this girl with admiration, and her attitude immediately softened He hesitated and said: "These two fish were originally made to be bad herring, but today the mandarin fish that the master ordered to eat was not available, so I had to make a fish to deal with it. Then, go wash other dishes."

Seeing that Aunt Liu's attitude is still mild, Rou Rou couldn't help but boldly glanced around the kitchen and asked, "How do you usually cook herring?"

"It's just steamed, braised, fried in oil, and stir-fried, what else can I do?" Aunt Liu answered casually.

Rourou thought about it in her heart, and felt that if she wanted to survive in this Zhao Mansion, the first step was to establish a good relationship with the people here, otherwise, there would be people staring at him coldly, and it would be difficult for her to move forward, not to mention her The only thing he knows is cooking, and if he just stays in the kitchen, if he doesn't show it off, is he really going to squat here washing vegetables and doing chores for a lifetime?With this thought in mind, she tentatively smiled and said, "Why don't you take a fish and let me try to cook it in a fresh way?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she turned her face and looked at her in surprise for a long time. Seeing that the gentle eyes did not dodge, but looked at her confidently, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, could this girl really know cooking?But her method of killing fish is quite clever, should I let her try it?
If this matter was left in normal times, Aunt Liu would never agree to let Wenrou try it out, but it just so happened that the steamed mandarin fish that the master wanted to eat today was not available, so she dared to replace it with herring to make a business, and she was a little panicked What should I do if the old man loses his temper if he doesn't like it after eating it? Hearing that Ruan Rou can cook this fish in a new way, he can't help feeling a little moved.

"Sister-in-law Liu, since she dared to boast about making fish, why don't you let her try it? There is still one fish left, and if we don't do it well, we can do it again." Sister-in-law Wang finally wiped away her tears and gathered together. In the end, she gave advice for Mrs. Liu, but she definitely didn't mean to speak for Wen Rou, but wanted to see her make a fool of herself. As long as she made poor fish and annoyed Mrs. Liu, she would not worry about not cleaning her up!Hmph, is it enough for a yellow-haired girl to wash and dissect two fish?You must know that everyone in this kitchen is a master at cooking, even if Wen Rou really cooked the fish, the taste would never overwhelm them!
Wen Rou saw that Mrs. Wang had a playful smile on her face, and knew that she had no good intentions, but as long as it was about cooking, she was not afraid at all, so she pleaded with Mrs. Liu again: "Let me try it." Try it!"

"Okay!" Aunt Liu finally let go, and handed her one of the herrings in her hand.

"By the way, the master's taste is more bland? Do you want spicy food?" It's difficult to adjust to everyone's taste. If you want to make the dishes palatable, you have to ask clearly first.

"Spicy?" Mrs. Liu didn't understand, but she didn't care. She just replied, "Master's taste is mild, so don't add too much salt."

Wen Rou nodded, knowing that there was no chili here, after thinking about it, she went to the table to get some fatty pork and a few eggs, and then asked Mrs. Liu if she had seaweed. This is a seafood, and I'm afraid it's not easy to find it here.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu replied yes, but this thing is precious, she hesitated for a long time before taking a slice for Rou, but the curiosity in her heart was even heavier, she wanted to see what kind of dishes Wen Rou could cook Quit doing it, just stood by the side with crossed hands, watching how she performed, even Mrs. Wang and the other cooks secretly glanced at her from time to time.

Naturally, Wen Rou was not afraid of them watching. She peeled the skin of the herring by herself, picked out the clean meat, and chopped it with the fat pork into a fish paste. She just put it down, took a clean bowl and beat the eggs, added seasonings, and spread the egg skins.

When the egg skin was spread out, she smeared fish paste on it, spread a layer of seaweed, then spread a layer of fish paste, and finally rolled it into a tube, wrapped it with a clean cloth, placed it neatly in the steamer, and put it on the drawer Steam.

While steaming the fish rolls, Wenrou didn’t stand idle, and went outside the house to wash the vegetables very consciously, lamenting in her heart that life in ancient times was not easy. If it were in modern times, she would be a chef. She only needs to handle the ladle as a small vegetable washing worker, but now she has to do everything by herself. Fortunately, she has solid basic skills when learning to cook, otherwise she will not even have a single accompanying skill at this time. It's really called every day, and it's so ineffective.

Sister-in-law Liu saw Wen Rou chopping the egg skins at the fish stall before, and everything was done lightly, quickly, and methodically, and she couldn't help but feel a little more curious about her. At this moment, she is looking forward to the herring egg rolls coming out of the cage soon, so it's good to try What kind of taste is it, so after a while, I have to ask her whether it is steamed or not, and ask her not to just wash the vegetables, because the steaming will be overdone by then, and the ingredients will be ruined.

Rourou was secretly amused, she never thought that Auntie Liu's temper was somewhat similar to Xiaohuan's, they were both so impatient, it seems that Xiaohuan said yesterday that she had a bad temper, but she didn't have any intentions, so it was a pertinent evaluation.

Guessing that the heat was almost ready, he gently washed his hands and returned to the kitchen, removed the steamer from the fire, then cut the steamed fish rolls into slices about two centimeters wide with a thin wire, and put them neatly on a plate.After she finished all this, Mrs. Liu was already very itchy to watch. The cross-section of the fish rolls laid out diagonally on the plate was yellow, white and black. It looked refreshing and delicious, and she wished to pick one up and taste it immediately how.

Rourou saw her thoughts, and gave her a few pieces of unplated fish rolls that were specially reserved, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Liu, try it, I just made it randomly, and I don't know how it tastes."

Although cooking in this world is divided into cooking methods such as frying and boiling, stewing, roasting and smoking, etc., the handling of ingredients and the matching of colors are not as gentle as they are. Steaming in a cage is enough. Even restaurants and rich people outside, if they do it more carefully and try to change it, they just mix and match various dishes, as long as the tastes blend and do not conflict.That's why Mrs. Liu was amazed by Wen Rou's cooking method. After picking up a piece of fish roll and tasting it, she felt that it was full of delicious flavor, and the taste was light and refreshing. She nodded her head unconsciously and praised, "Not bad!" What is the name of this dish.

"This dish is called egg skin fish roll." Gentle smiled slightly, feeling that the color of this dish on a white porcelain plate was too plain, so she picked up a radish and carved two peonies, one large and one small, as a pair Serve with a few cilantro sprigs and serve on the side of the plate for garnish.
