Chapter 63: Eight dishes and one soup
The father-in-law rushed into the kitchen in a hurry. When he saw Le Youyou's figure, his frown slowly, "Ouch! Finally, I found you, Youyou. Your Majesty has arrived at Xiuli Palace and asked the house again and again why he didn't have dinner yet."
Le Youyou looked at Grandpa Bu and smiled embarrassedly, pointing at the crystal pig's trotters on the table, clothes drying white meat, chrysanthemum tofu soup, Buddha-hand Guanyinlian and Qingxiu's heart-boiled abalone that had just been moved here, "Dude Bu Bu, you have seen it for two hours now, and you are only helping me alone. Until now, I have only made five dishes and one soup, and the remaining three dishes..."
Although each dish is simple, it is very exquisite in knife skills and heat. "Youyou, it's not a urging you to urge you. You have just prepared these dishes and taste them the best. If you wait until all eight dishes are finished before serving them, it will definitely miss the best time for these five dishes."
Le Youyou relaxed helplessly and loosened her shoulders, "Brother-in-law, I don't want it, but the staff is limited, so it's impossible to serve eight dishes and one soup at the same time!"
The best father-in-law looked at the amazing dishes, thought deeply for a long time, shook Fo Chen and said, "I will help you serve these five dishes and one soup first, and then you will prepare your three dishes, Youyou as soon as possible..."
Le Youyou nodded silently at the kind-hearted behavior of Grandpa Bu. She looked at Grandpa Bu and shouted the palace maid to bring out the five dishes and one soup on the table. Before leaving, he told Wan Wan: "I remember when you only have one hour at most..."
"Okay! Grandpa Bu walk slowly!" Le Youyou stretched her body after sending Grandpa Bu away, and looked at her nervously, "Neople, you have never tried that soft-boiled abalone. I'll just serve the food rashly. Will it delay the future of the noble person?"
Le Youyou waved her hand and took the osmanthus fish from the large water tank. The osmanthus fish that was separated from the water desperately swung the fish tail, splashing countless water splashes on the ground, on the table, and on people. But she didn't care about throwing the water directly on the chopping board, swung the largest kitchen knife, and slapped the fish with the back of the knife.
The osmanthus fish that was originally fluttering on the cutting board has now become quiet on the cutting board. She took this opportunity to quickly scrape the scales of the osmanthus fish.
Qingxiu looked at the fish scales floating up and down like the snow in winter. At this moment, she saw that the line of the osmanthus fish was successfully pulled away by her. The whole fish quickly dealt with the fish like a cook who was slit and placed it on the plate.
Qingxiu quickly took the onion, ginger and garlic to Le Youyou. Le Youyou waved his hands with bloody hands, "Steaming fish with ginger will make the meat of the fish look older and bring the ginger flavor.
Although it will make you lose fishy food, it will also destroy the umami flavor of fish. Ginger is used less!”
Qingxiu looked at the ginger in her hand and shook her head motionlessly, "What can we use to prevent the fish from being chrysanthemum and eliminate the fishy fish?"
Le Youyou washed his hands, turned around and sucked the dried tangerine peel that had already run, quickly waved his knife to cut the dried tangerine peel into pieces, thin things that were still thin, and stuffed them into the fish belly. He said briefly: "Soaked tangerine peel can not only remove fishy fish, but also improve freshness. Even when pouring fish sauce, the astringency of the dried tangerine peel will be covered by soy sauce.
The combination of tangerine peel and soy sauce not only eliminates fishy fish, but also improves freshness, and combines tangerine peel soy sauce and fish with each other, making the taste better.”
As soon as Le Youyou finished speaking, he put the fish into the steamer, turned around and buried his head and quickly cut the scallion into shredded scallions, and poured peanut oil into the wok.
"Neither, the fish is coming!" Qingxiu just turned on the steam, Le Youyou looked up and looked at it before igniting a little bit of incense. Before it was time to turn on the steamer, he hurriedly shouted: "Qingxiu close it quickly!"
Le Youyou's face turned dark, and he walked to Qingxiu and grabbed the steamed lid with his hand. He frowned at the fish that had just faded his blood, and silently covered the lid.
Qingxiu looked at Le Youyou's expression and asked carefully: "Negotiable, why can't you get enough fish?" Le Youyou raised her head and licked her tongue gently, and said with a stingy head, "No, this fish has left the first wave of steam and is going to be ruined."
"Ah?" Qingxiu was stunned. When she wanted to open the lid of the steamer, Le Youyou opened her hand with one hand and scolded her strictly: "Qingxiu, can you not know that you must grasp the first bite of steam when steaming fish with delicious meat? Fish cannot be steamed. Steamed fish meat is destined to get old, and the taste will naturally be worse."
She said as she opened the lid and picked up the osmanthus fish, but Qingxiu looked at the osmanthus fish in front of her and came out of the stove with a fragrant smell, "Gui Ren, isn't this fish well?"
She poured off the excess fish sauce from the plate, watched the fish back slightly rotten, frowned and looked at Qingwei in disappointment, and was shocked in her heart that her beautiful cooking skills could only reach the current height.
She covered the fish surface with one hand and poured hot oil in the other hand, "Zhe——The hot hot oil fell on the fish with a green onion shredded Yude, and white smoke rose. Qingxiu sniffed her nose hard, exclaiming: "I miss this fish so much..."
After Le Youyou silently poured the fish sauce on it, he placed the fish on the table and shouted to the palace maid who was guarding outside the kitchen: "Come in, bring this steamed mandarin fish out!"
A little palace maid walked carefully to Le Youyou, carefully put her father in the tray with both hands, and walked out with small steps carefully.
Although she was disappointed with Qingxiu, her face was very smelly. She reviewed her emotions a little, sighed softly, and said in a soft voice, "Qingxiu! I will teach you how to make oil-burned river shrimp!"
Qingxiu was stunned and delved into whether she had done anything wrong. At this moment, she heard Le Youyou's words. She couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Really?"
"Yes! But let's make the three-colored egg first, and then make the oil-burned river shrimp." Le Youyou pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and a smile appeared on Qingxiu's little face, and Le Youyou quickly put the three-colored egg into the steamer, raised his head to look at the second most incense stick that had burned out, "Qingxiu lights the last incense stick for me!"
Le Youyoujiang silently counted the time of the steamed egg in his heart. If the three-colored egg is steamed smooth and tender, it will be considered a success if it cannot have any lumps.
Therefore, she was counting and counting while holding the steaming stove. Qingxiu knew that she had opened the steaming stove before and made Le Youyou look unhappy, so she silently retreated to a corner and watched Le Youyou's approach carefully.
Looking at the oil-burning river shrimp made by Le Youyou, the river shrimp I picked was not big and very full, but the ones I had to pick were moderately tall and full, and even some plump shrimps were thrown aside.
After sorting the prawns in his hands, Le Youyou silently washed his hands and started the three-colored eggs. The smooth and bright three-colored eggs were placed on the surface as tender and smooth as a newborn baby's skin, transparent and free of debris.
Le Youyou narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, "Qingxiu, you can only be considered successful when you see such a three-colored egg!"
Le Youyou put the three-colored egg on the table. The light yellow three-colored egg clearly reflected her pretty face. She pointed at the three-colored egg in surprise, "Neither - this three-colored egg is not only smooth as a baby's skin, but also like a mirror, which can reflect a pretty face!"
Le Youyou looked at Qingxiu with a stunned look at her because of the mirror that appeared in the three-colored egg, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "Qingxiu, we still have a long way to go to learn cooking skills, so we don't have to be amazed by this little skill..."
Le Youyou half-smile and poured the horse-selling meat into the wok. The golden and translucent oil slowly rolled away. Le Youyou tried the oil temperature with chopsticks and found that the oil temperature was just right and said: "Qingxiu, the trick to bursting river shrimps is the oil temperature. Don't be afraid in front of hot hot oil, and you can't go down the river shrimps at will. Be careful to slide the river shrimps into the oil pan, and raise your ears and listen to the river shrimp shells burst open. When the shells are opened, you can get the pot. Listen carefully..."
As soon as Le Youyou finished speaking, the shrimp in her hand slid into the hot oil by her, "Zhe——"
The plain oil surface suddenly turned into a tumbling, and the river shrimp exploded into water vapor flowers in the oil.
"Bara—Bara—"
The shrimp shells burst open, and the transparent blue-blue river shrimp turned red and golden under the action of hot oil. She picked up the river shrimp in hand, put it aside to drain the oil, and then poured the large river shrimp into the hot oil.
Qingxiu, who could not hear the sound at all, looked at each river shrimp in surprise and turned into shrimp flowers. "Neither, I can't hear anything... How did you make the life of the shrimp shell bursting?"
Le Youyou glared at Qingxiu seriously, and let out a heavy "shhhh" sound, his ears still stood up. The spoon in his hand picked up the river shrimp without hesitation and placed the river shrimp on the small river shrimp paper.
She walked to the wok beside her and prepared bright and thick shiny juice. She poured the fried river shrimp into the wok and stir-fry quickly. She poured a small amount of wine before lifting the pot, and neutralized the cold air in the shrimp with the strongness of the wine. "Beautiful, put it on the plate!"
Qingxiu, who covered her mouth, quickly placed the sliced winter melon carved in front of Le Youyou on the stove. Le Youyou took the oil-burning river shrimp into a pot and buckled it on the slices she dug into a small well to exchange for the winter melon.
The winter melon is slightly ripe and tender green color, and the braised river shrimps with red and golden oil are shiny in the winter melon cup. The combination of red and green forms a visual conflict. The aroma of shrimp lingers three feet, filling the entire kitchen with fragrance.
Le Youyou spooned the remaining braised shrimps and poured them onto the plate beside him, "Qingxiu, try this braised shrimps and I'll go deliver the dishes first!"
Qingxiu looked at the shrimps brought to her by Le Youyou and nodded silently. Le Youyou took off her apron and sniffed the smell of clothes. As she expected, her body was stained with the smoke from the kitchen, but she cared very carefully with the three-colored eggs and braised river shrimps and walked slowly towards the main hall of Xiuli Palace, Jinxiu Palace.
Le Youyou was slow and followed the palace maids on the road, but found a man blocking the yard of Jinxiu Palace, "You! Take this dish in for me!"
Le Youyou looked at the palace maid costume in front of her in ignorance, but the arrogance on her face hurt Le Youyou's eyes. She smiled and raised an eyebrow at the man, "Where am I saying no?"
