Chapter 20 Pork Belly Wrapped Chicken
"I'll go and have a look." Zhang Qijie left with shopkeeper Zhang.

Lin Xi hurried to the kitchen with her son in her arms. Chef Zhang stepped forward respectfully, his voice could not hide his excitement: "Miss Lin, thank you for teaching me the dishes yesterday. As your assistant, I am very happy to be able to help you .Today I will do whatever you say."

"Don't be like this, I just know some dishes." Lin Xi smiled and stretched out a hand to block the way.

"As long as I have the ingredients, I will prepare them. I just wait for you to come back and cook." Chef Zhang followed Lin Xi and said flatteringly.

"Okay, Chef Zhang, cut off the chicken's head and feet first." Lin Xi put down his son, found a small bench, poured him another glass of water, fed him a few mouthfuls, and put it on the table.

"Baby, mother is going to be busy now, are you hungry?" Rolling up your sleeves, he asked his son.

"Yeah." The little guy nodded while licking the candied haws.

"Be good, my mother will make it for you right away." Lin Xi felt a pain in his heart, quickly grabbed three eggs and beat them in a bowl, added warm water and stirred evenly, dripped some sesame oil, and a little salt.Pour a spoonful of water into the pot and place the egg bowl in the pot.He said, "Light a fire."

"Okay!" Someone under the stove responded, and the fire started.

Lin Xi took out the pork belly and rinsed it in the sink, scraped off the excess oil with a kitchen knife, turned it over, put the pork belly in a basin, added a tablespoon of salt and a tablespoon of vinegar, and evenly grabbed the pork belly. Marinate for 5 minutes.Take time to wash your hands and look at the steamed eggs in the pot. "Okay." She said, wrapped the bowl with a damp cloth and took it out.Soak in a large bowl of cold water.

"Master Lin, tell me how to wash the pork belly, and you can feed the young master first." Chef Chen moved closer to Lin Xi and said cautiously.

"Okay, now you go and add an appropriate amount of flour, grasp it evenly, and knead it repeatedly until the fat is gone. Find another chicken and chop it into pieces, put it away, and cut a grass carp. It will be used later."

"Okay, we'll go right away." Chef Chen pointed out two things to do, and walked to the water's edge and squatted down to rub the pork belly.

Lin Xi picked up a few spoonfuls of watery eggs from the small bowl and put them in another bowl.

"I'll come. You go and do your work." After the eggs were cooled, Zhang Qijie came back.He naturally took the bowl in Lin Xi's hand and smiled gently.

"Okay." Lin Xi felt relieved now.Concentrate on cooking.The first course is pork ribs and winter melon soup, the second course is steamed pork, the third course is salted duck, and the fourth course is chicken wrapped in pork belly.Lin Xi asked Chef Chen and the others to watch carefully: she sewed a small cloth bag with a needle, and stuffed ginkgo, Codonopsis pilosula, Angelica, Angelica and other medicinal materials and accessories, except wolfberry, into the chicken bag. In the stomach, stuff the chicken into the pork belly and put some peppercorns, and finally sew the pork belly with a thick thread.After adjusting the ingredients in the pot, the pork belly began to be placed and the fire started.

"Have you all remembered these? After cooking, take it out and let it cool, pull out the thread, and take out the chicken and herbs. Cut the pork belly into long strips, tear the chicken into strips by hand or cut it with scissors, and then put it back into the pot. At this time Add goji berries, boil in the pot for seven or eight minutes, add salt and adjust the seasoning.” She repeated the whole process.

"Thank you, Master Chen. We will remember it." Several people replied in unison.

"Okay, then let's start the next dish of steamed grass carp. First, soak the tangerine peel in water for 5 minutes. After cleaning the grass carp, cut it with a cross-cut knife on the front, which is convenient and quick to taste. Put a knife on the back so that it is not easy to steam. Put salt on the belly of the fish, and put a small amount of white wine on the outside to take away its fishy smell. Put three sections of green onion and ginger in the belly of the fish to prevent deformation. At this time, the tangerine peel is soaked, and put a few pieces of the belly of the fish. Put a few slices on it too. This way you can put it on a plate, put it in the pot and steam it for 5 minutes on high heat, then stew it for 3 minutes. After steaming, pour off the juice on the plate, and sprinkle with chopped green onion and chili rings for decoration. The last step is very important, pour the right amount Hot oil and light soy sauce." Lin Xi explained while operating.Someone took a small notebook and memorized it quickly.Lin Xi gulped down the steamed fish with all the color and fragrance, and suddenly felt very hungry.

"It's ready to serve." Shopkeeper Zhang came to the kitchen and couldn't help but say, "I can smell the aroma of vegetables upstairs, and my stomach is wide open. I want to have a full meal now."

"There is a chance, Uncle." Lin Xi said with a smile while turning around.

"Girl Xi, please cook some food for the children first."

"Okay. Can I make more. Give some to my son." Lin Xi already wanted to make French fries.This is convenient and fast.

"Of course. Then you do your work first. I'll go to the front to say hello." After saying that, he left the kitchen.

Lin Xi asked someone to peel ten potatoes and cut them into strips. Boil water in a pot, put a spoonful of salt, and pour the salt into the potato sticks until they are soft.After cooking, remove and dry the water.Put vegetable oil in a clean pot, when the oil is hot, pour in potato sticks and start frying.Wait until the potato sticks are completely golden brown.Too bad there was no ketchup.Lin Xi found a plate, put it on a plate and asked someone to take it out.Another bag was wrapped in paper and placed on the table.
