Levi's heart was astringent, he couldn't tell what it tasted like, hesitated for a moment, walked to the dining table and sat down.It just so happened that Shen Yao and Zhang Qing went out to check tomorrow's ingredients, and Xue Ying was the only one left in the store in Zhang Luo, she didn't expect someone to come so late, so she asked casually, "What does the guest officer want to eat?"
”When I looked up, it turned out to be Levi, and I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.Li Wei said lightly: "Let's have a bowl of new quail soup and a piece of Hu cake." ”Thinking of what Li Wei said when he was leaving, a wave of anger appeared in Xue Ying's heart, and he said coldly: "This guest officer came unfortunately, he has just sold out." ”"Oh."
Levi seemed to be extra patient today, and said, "Then let's have a hand-washing crab."
I heard that your store has now become the foot shop of Fengle Building, so bring me another pot of Fengle Building's self-brewed Meishou wine. ”Seeing Li Wei's casual appearance, Xue Ying's heart became even more angry, and he said with a horizontal eyebrow: "I didn't buy the goods today, please go back to the guest officer." ”"Oh."
Li Wei didn't think it was angry at all, and said in a deep voice: "Then if you have any ready-made food in your store, just make me some." ”"What do you want to do when you come here today?"
Xue Ying's cold eyes swept towards Li Wei, who knew that he didn't avoid it at all, but smiled: "All the people who come are guests, Xue Niangzi, as the shopkeeper, should greet her with a smile, this tense appearance, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”Li Wei deliberately raised his voice, causing a few diners in the restaurant to look at him, Xue Ying hated the root of his teeth, so he had to slow down his voice and said, "Now there is only mutton fat leek cake left."
Oh, by the way, there is not much mutton left, most of it is leeks, do you still want to eat it?
”Xue Ying remembered that Li Wei had always disliked eating leeks, and she also made mutton fat leek cakes in Li's Mansion, and everyone ate very happily, but Li Wei barely ate half of it and refused to eat it again.Who knew that Li Wei said lightly: "The night rain cuts spring leeks, and the yellow sorghum is in the new cooking room."
Leeks are the most delicious in spring, so let's have two cakes and a white porridge. ”Who knew that Li Wei said this, which also aroused the interest of a diner next to him: "Xue Niangzi, also bring me a mutton fat leek cake." ”"Okay."
Xue Ying had no choice but to agree and go down into the back kitchen.According to Xue Ying's idea, it is best to add more salt to the filling, and it is better to salte Li Wei to death.But after all, there are other customers in the store, and you have to take care of their perception, and you really can't let yourself be too messy.After thinking about it, letting a picky person like Levi eat food he doesn't like can be regarded as punishment.Xue Ying suddenly felt that she was not so angry.Xue Ying selects a piece of fat and thin pork belly and cuts it into a wok, heats it in a wok, pours in a small amount of oil, and stir-fries the meat until it turns white and serves.Freshly picked young leeks are cleaned and cut into small pieces.Find another piece of mutton fat and chop it.The kernel is torn open from the shell, the seeds are taken out and crushed into pieces.Next, Xue Ying mixed the leeks, meat dumplings, mutton fat, peppercorns, and sand kernels together, and stirred well with an appropriate amount of salt and soy sauce.It is very important to make mutton fat leek cakes and noodles, Xue Ying uses warm water to mix the dough, and then knead the dough twenty or thirty times after the dough is awakened, so that the texture of the dough will be softer.Knead the dough into long strips, cut it into agents of the same size, roll it out into a round cake, spread the filling evenly on the round cake, and then cover it with another round cake, carefully pinch and press the edge of the round cake to make the round cake stick tightly and the filling sealed.Finally, you can pancake.The iron pot is heated and twisted over low heat, and the dough is spread on the bottom of the pot, and after seeing that one side has become hard, Xue Ying quickly turns the cake over, and after repeating this three or four times, the cake is cooked.In order to prevent the dough from swelling and blistering, Xue Ying also used an embroidery needle to prick a few small holes in the pie crust, and the unique spicy aroma of leeks came to her nose.Xue Ying served food to the guest next to Li Wei first, and then put a bowl of white porridge and two pieces of mutton fat leek cake in front of Li Wei, gritted his teeth and smiled: "This is what I specially made, the guest officer should eat it all and don't waste it." ”The diners on the side grabbed the cake and took a bite, a rich mutton fat fragrance hit the taste buds, the spring leeks were spicy and tender, and the fat of mutton fat and pork was quietly absorbed, and the taste was soft and palatable, but it did not feel fatty at all.The crust is dry, fluffy and soft, and the palate is pure wheat, which is perfectly matched by the slightly heavier filling.The diner couldn't help but praise: "Xue Niangzi's mutton fat leek cake noodles are really good, and the filling is also fragrant and not greasy, and it is really the best leeks in spring."
It's just that I don't usually see Xue Niangzi making this dish. ”Xue Ying smiled and said, "If the guest officer likes to eat, I will make it often in the future." ”Xue Ying turned his eyes to look at Li Wei, he had only eaten half of the mutton fat leek cake in his hand, but the bowl of white porridge was almost finished, and he sneered in his heart and asked: "This mutton fat leek cake is not suitable for the guest officer's appetite, why didn't I see you eat more?"
”The diners on the side also echoed: "This mutton fat leek cake is very delicious, not as greasy as the one sold in the market, Your Excellency will taste it carefully?"
”Xue Ying smiled faintly: "This guest officer thinks that he is from Guisuke, and he can't look down on the crude food in the shop, so he feels that he can't swallow it." ”Who knew that when Li Wei heard Xue Ying's words, he actually picked up the remaining half of the cake and ate it quickly.Then he drank the porridge in the bowl again, without even frowning, and quickly finished eating another piece of bread.Li Wei has always been picky, and he will never eat more dishes he doesn't like, but now his style is really unexpected, Xue Ying couldn't help but be stunned.Li Wei smiled faintly: "It tastes good, it turns out that leeks are also delicious."
The food in your store is very much to my liking. ”Xue Ying gritted her teeth and smiled: "Then I will come often, and I will make mutton fat leek cakes to entertain guest officers." ”After the diners in the restaurant left, Xue Ying finally didn't have to pretend, and said coldly: "What are you doing here, didn't you say that they will have nothing to do in the future?"
”Levi was silent for a moment and said, "I don't allow you to marry." ”Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, Fang completely understood Li Wei's intention, and the anger in his heart surged up again, and he couldn't help but say coldly: "Your Excellency's words are really funny.What do you do if I marry or not?
Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to demand from me?
”Levi frowned and looked at her: "Don't be angry yet, you have to give me a little time." ”Xue Ying laughed angrily: "Your Excellency, don't be sentimental here, you and I are not all the way, and I don't have a good impression of you, don't come to me again." ”Who knew that Li Wei was not angry, but smiled faintly and said: "Xue Niangzi's words are a bit contradictory, obviously you just asked me to come often, and you have to prepare mutton fat leek cakes to entertain me." ”"You!"
Xue Yinggang wanted to scold him for being a scoundrel, but saw Li Wei and said in a deep voice: "I will come over every day for the past few days." ”After speaking, he ignored Xue Ying, and turned around and left.After Xuejia Gourd Soup Shop officially became the foot shop of Fengle Building, it was also considered to have a name among the restaurants in Beijing, and it was customary to participate in the guild of the restaurant industry.Xue Ying attached great importance to this matter, got up early in the morning to freshen up, specially changed into solemn clothes, and confirmed that there was no problem from head to toe before going out solemnly.The head of the restaurant industry in Beijing is Liang Yongnian, so today's guild is held in his private residence.The mansion of the Liang Mansion is located on the outskirts of Beijing, covering a huge area, and there is a back garden behind the Wujin mansion.The bamboo trees in the park are intertwined, the pavilions are open, there is a very wide golden jade pool, the pond is next to the vermilion railing, there is a corridor sandwiched, there is a moon cave door at the end of the corridor, there is a cave sky when you walk in, it is actually a very spacious courtyard, and the major households of the Bianjing restaurant industry gather here today.It seems that the financial resources of this Liang Xingshou are really not to be underestimated, this is Xue Ying's first feeling when he comes here.Most of the people who participated in the guild today were middle-aged men, and there were a few old women sporadically, and a young woman like Xue Ying was really rare, and she attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.A middle-aged businessman frowned and looked at Xue Ying for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "This little lady, we are here in a serious guild, why don't the men in charge of your mansion come in person, but teach you a little lady to come forward to socialize." ”Since the death of her father, Xue Ying has appeared alone to show up the business in the store, this kind of questioning has been accepted a lot, she didn't take it to heart, looking at the middle-aged businessman's disdainful eyes, she was not so restrained, so she simply came to the chair on the side of the flower hall and sat down, so that she could drink tea and eat snacks all the time.She ignored herself and began to eat as if no one was around.The middle-aged businessman Jia Deng was furious, and said with a sinking face: "This little lady, why don't you answer when I ask you?"
How dare a mere woman be so rude?
”Xue Ying slowly put down the teacup, raised her eyes and said, "As far as I know, there are hundreds of women doing business in Bianjing, and none of the guild regulations say that women are not allowed to enter during the assembly?"
”The middle-aged businessman didn't expect Xue Ying to be young, but he was so sharp-tongued, and paused and said: "There is a difference between men and women, today's assembly is all men, and there are occasionally one or two women, who are also old."
You are a young woman in the midst of it, and it is inconvenient. ”Xue Ying glanced at him and smiled, "Oh, that's it."
It's a pity that I'm the owner of the Xue family's gourd soup shop, and the only man in the shop is a handyman I hire, and I'm only fifteen years old this year.If you insist on not dealing with the woman, why don't I go back and replace him?
”"You, you, you."
The middle-aged businessman was so choked by Xue Ying that he couldn't speak, so he planned to call someone on the side to help.At this moment, a loud laugh came from the door of the flower hall: "Gu Sanlang don't worry about a young lady, as far as I know, Xue Niangzi is the owner of the Xue family's gourd soup shop, and her cooking skills are excellent.Our businessmen are no better than Confucian scholars, and we don't have to pay too much attention to the rules of whether men and women give or receive kisses.Gu Sanlang should give me a face, don't worry about it. ”Xue Ying noticed that the person who spoke was about fifty years old and had a very dignified appearance, and as soon as he entered the flower hall, the rest of the people stood up.This person should be Liang Yongnian.Although Liang Yongnian used a consultative tone, in terms of his status and status, this was undoubtedly an out-and-out order, and although the middle-aged businessman was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.Xue Ying was a little apprehensive at this time, she rejected Liang's proposal, Liang Yongnian came forward to defend her regardless of her previous suspicions, she couldn't understand Liang Yongnian's intentions.Everyone discussed some routine events in the guild, but they heard Liang Yongnian clear his throat and say: "You have been immersed in the mall for many years, you should know the rules.The residents of the city have to pay a living tax of 30 wen per 1,000 yuan, and if they dare to hide their belongings privately and be caught by the lawsuit, one-third of their income will be confiscated.The laws of the court were not in vain. ”Liang Yongnian's cold eyes swept over a shopkeeper: "Zhang Dalang, as far as I know, you had a lot of business income last month, so you should pay more than this tax." ”The shopkeeper's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Liang Xingshou Mingjian, there was a leak in the settlement of the turnover of the next month, and he is asking the account office to recalculate, and when there is a standard, the difference must be filled." ”Liang Yongnian nodded and said, "That's it."
They are all businessmen, as long as you don't make any big mistakes and can cover up for you, I will naturally cover it up.It's just not too out of line, otherwise the Dushang Tax Institute will blame it, and I can't afford to be a businessman. ”Xue Ying heard a little bit at this time, as the head of the line, one of his responsibilities is to supervise the subordinate accounts for the Capital Commercial Tax Institute, and strictly prohibit them from evading taxes.Thinking that Liang Yongnian can be a good restaurant and his party, there must be someone on it.Because it was the first time to participate in the meeting, Xue Ying only had the opportunity to observe, and finally waited until the meeting was over, she was about to say goodbye, but saw Liang Yongnian come over and said, "Xue Niangzi, please take a step to speak." ”Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, and had to follow Liang Yongnian to a secluded place.Liang Yongnian smiled and said: "I have a friendship with Uncle Ling, it is said that he traveled to Luoyang, and his health is good?"
”Xue Ying didn't expect her uncle to travel so widely, and she actually met Liang Yongnian, so she was stunned for a moment and said: "Thanks to your protection, my uncle is in good health." ”"That's good."
Liang Yongnian decided to say something straightforward: "Xue Niangzi, I think you are a cheerful person, and I am also a straight person, so there is no need to detour here and now, I want to know why Xue Niangzi refused this family business?"
”Xue Ying really didn't dare to offend this great god, and thought for a moment and said: "Thank you Liang Xingshou for raising love, it's just that the concubine is used to being alone, she is lazy and tired, and she doesn't understand the rules of a big family, so she is really unworthy of being a match with Ling Lang." ”Liang Yongnian said with a smile: "Xue Niangzi is too modest, the Liang family is just an ordinary businessman, and there are not so many rules."
To be honest, I appreciate your hearty temperament, the dog is introverted, and he needs to marry a more spicy wife.Xue Niangzi rest assured, I am the master, you marry in, no one in the house dares to embarrass you. ”It seemed that Liang Yongnian still didn't understand what he meant, Xue Ying felt very big, and hurriedly explained: "Liang Xingshou said this, which really made the concubine ashamed.To tell the truth, the reason why the concubine refused to propose marriage was not because she couldn't look down on your mansion, but because the concubine didn't want to marry and be restrained at all, and just wanted to live her own small life in the gourd shop. ”Liang Yongnian thought that he had personally come forward to save Xue Ying and had given Xue Ying enough face, but who knew that she didn't buy it at all, and the reason was incredible: she didn't want to marry!
In his opinion, no woman in this world who abides by the rules should have such a strange idea.Liang Yongnian's expression slowly cooled down, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Xue Niangzi has no intention, I naturally won't be reluctant."
After all, the person who proposed to the dog also broke through the threshold.It's just that I heard that the Xue family gourd soup shop is now buying drinks from Wang Housheng?
”I had long heard that Wang Housheng and Liang Yongnian were mortal enemies, Xue Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Exactly." ”Liang Yongnian said coldly: "Wang Housheng's good days are coming to an end, Xue Niangzi should do it herself." ”After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Xue Ying's reply, and turned around and left.On the way back to the gourd shop, Xue Ying had been thinking about what Liang Yongnian said, but she couldn't think of anything, she couldn't help but be a little depressed, who expected that as soon as she entered the store, she found that Li Wei was here again.He didn't break his promise, saying that he would come here every day, and he really came here every day to sign in, and he always chose the time when it was about to close, although there were not many diners in the store at that time, Xue Ying always paid attention to everyone's perception, and it was not good to be too harsh about Levi.Shen Yao saw her come back, as if she had found a savior, and hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered: "The lady is here, Master Li has been sitting in the store for a long time, and he has to eat the food cooked by the lady herself." ”There are really a lot of tricks, Xue Ying sneered in her heart, stepped forward and raised her voice and asked, "What does the guest officer want to eat today?"
”Levi smiled and said, "Golden chicken or wine fried meat is fine." ”"Unfortunately, the guest officer came late, and both dishes were sold out.""
Oh."
Li Wei glanced at Xue Ying and asked, "What else is there to eat in that store?"
”"Willow leaf leek, fried sheep white intestines, bad pig's trotters and feet, your Excellency can choose one."
Xue Ying said that these dishes are all things that Li Wei usually doesn't like to eat, and she secretly thought: In the future, it will be like this day by day, see how long you can survive?
Li Wei frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and chose a dish that he was relatively less disgusted with: "Then let's have a bad pig's trotter paw." ”Xue Ying was slightly surprised in her heart, she really didn't expect that Li Wei actually endured it again.The trotters were made by her in advance.After rinsing the fresh pig's trotters, blanch the blood water in a pot of boiling water and put it into the casserole, and then change to a slight heat to cook for more than half an hour after boiling, and wait until the pig's trotters are soft and rotten.After the pig's trotters were cooled, Xue Ying took out the bones from the back, cut each pig's trotters into two large pieces, poured them into the fragrant grains and soaked them for half a day, and the pig's trotters were ready.The key to the bad pig's trotters is the bad marinade, each restaurant has its own secret recipe, Xue Ying is to mix the lees, rice wine and salt in a specific proportion, and the dried pork has a peculiar aroma.Levi doesn't like to eat pig's trotters because he has to grasp them with his hands, and the food is really indecent.However, as soon as this bad pig's trotters were served, a strong aroma of wine came to his nose, arousing his addiction to alcohol, not to mention, after a long time of soaking in the lees, the color of the pigskin was as crystal clear as amber, and it looked very attractive.Li Wei only hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the pig's trotters and took a bite, after a long time of simmering and rotting, the meat is very soft and rotten, the entrance has a strong meat aroma, and the sake lees have a strong ability to eliminate greasy, can make the pig's trotters complete the transformation from fat to refreshing taste, and taste salty and fresh.Within half a burnt of incense, Levi finished gnawing the two pieces of pig's trotters.Xue Ying looked at him, quite dumbfounded, she really didn't expect that Li Wei would ignore his appearance and gnaw pig's trotters in front of everyone, which was too fast to follow the local customs.Xue Ying was still in a daze, but she heard Li Wei say in a low voice: "Liang Yongnian has always been cunning and cunning, and the government suspects that his wealth is unknown, but he has never found a loophole, since you refuse the Liang Mansion's proposal, you should be more careful in the future." ”"You don't have to worry about it."
Xue Ying said coldly, she suddenly thought, how did Li Wei know that he had rejected the Liang Mansion's proposal?
I couldn't help glaring at him fiercely.Who knew that the corners of Levi's mouth turned upward, and he slowed down his voice and said, "It's not too early, I'll leave first, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”"No one invited you here."
Xue Ying was quite annoyed, and turned her head to see that Li Wei had already gotten up and left.The author has something to say: the scene in the copy is coming.The male protagonist is buried in gnawing on the pig's trotters, and it has a sense of picture, haha.Chapter 36 On this afternoon, Xue Ying was busy all morning and was about to go back to her room to take a nap, but she didn't expect Qin Feng to come to her.Qin Feng frowned: "Xue Niangzi, our store has been in big trouble recently. ”"Oh, what do you say?""
Xue Niangzi knows that Liang Yongnian has a monopoly on the seafood market in the capital, and the vendors in the market supply must first be selected by his shop, and only if he doesn't want it can he get other restaurants.During this time, he deliberately struggled with the owner, and the seafood provided to us by the vendors was not fresh or even spoiled. ”Xue Ying pondered for a moment and said: "Most of Liang Xingshou's diners are dignitaries, so they will order seafood to show their status when they eat.However, most of the diners in your restaurant are ordinary citizens and wealthy businessmen, and the most important thing is to be economical, and the demand for seafood is not large.What's more, Bianjing is located inland, and no matter how delicious the seafood is, the taste will be greatly reduced when it is transported here. ”Qin Feng sighed and said, "I also know this truth, the owner will find a way to do this, and it will be fine for a while."
However, Liang Yongnian has recently intended to fight with the owner, and has recently launched a batch of new dishes, which has attracted many diners in the store, so I came over to ask Xue Niangzi for help. ”"Oh."
Xue Ying was quite interested in this: "What new dishes have they launched in the store?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
”"That's a lot."
Qin Feng counted with his fingers: "Wine boiled Huai white fish, steamed goose with bamboo shoots, crab soup, lotus fish buns, boiled jade." ”"Wait a minute."
Xue Ying asked curiously, "What is this boiled jade?"
”"Oh."
Qin Feng was a little disdainful: "It's just a gimmick."
I also asked a friend to go to his shop to taste this dish.The raw material is spring bamboo shoots.The gold is to hang the bamboo shoots on the almond flour and Sichuan pepper powder to make a noodle coat and fry it in a pan, and the color is golden and golden.It is even simpler to wrap jade, it is to cook rice and spring bamboo shoots in the same pot to make porridge, and the color is white is called boiled jade.But a group of literati doctors like it, saying that this dish has the atmosphere of mountains and forests.Some wealthy businessmen also followed the vassal elegance and went to Liang Yongnian's shop to taste it.If you want me to say, the taste is very average. ”Is it more elegant than vassal?
Xue Ying remembered that her uncle had given her a cookbook before leaving, which was said to have been written by a hermit, and the dishes in it were really elegant.Thinking of this, Xue Ying smiled and said, "I'll go to the store with you and make a dish to compete with them." ”Qin Feng couldn't wait for Xue Ying to say this, and immediately hired a carriage to welcome Xue Ying to Fengle Building.Xue Ying's dish is three crispy soups, which is also inspired by that cookbook.Remove the outer coat of the spring bamboo shoots, keep only the tender tips of the bamboo shoots, cut them evenly into thin slices, wash the small mushrooms and cut off the roots, and wash the wolfberry heads and drain them for later use.Next, Xue Ying heats up the pot and adds a little rapeseed oil, stir-fry the above ingredients in the pot, pour half a pot of boiling water after it is broken, and thicken it thinly, and add pepper, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and a few drops of sesame oil to taste, and the three crispy soups are ready.Xue Ying smiled at Qin Feng and said, "Dr.
Qin, do you want to taste it?"
”Qin Feng scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth, refreshing with a hint of sour and spicy, the spring bamboo shoots in the season are extremely fresh and crispy, the wolfberry head is fragrant, the mushrooms are soft and mellow, and the three materials with different textures and different flavors are extremely harmonious together, constituting a fragrant taste, which reminds people of the mountains and forests after being infiltrated by the spring rain, and has a spring atmosphere.Compared to using spring bamboo shoots alone, this dish has a significantly richer taste.Qin Feng praised: "Xue Niangzi is a good craft, so we will launch this three-crispy soup first and fight with Liang Yongnian." ”Once the three crispy soup was launched, it also attracted some diners in Liang Yongnian's restaurant to come and taste it, and it was obviously more delicious than the slightly faint boiled jade.Wang Housheng's shop is also a little more popular, and it is not as cold as before.It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the other party soon came up with a new dish - full of spring, which is also the main style and elegance, and also uses vegetables as ingredients.After the yellow sprouts, bean sprouts and cress are washed and cut into sections, they are blanched in boiling water, drained, and then poured in pepper oil, soy sauce, vinegar and a little sugar and stirred.It looks unremarkable, but due to the reasonable preparation of the sauce, the dish is verdant and oily, it is really as eye-catching as spring, the taste is sweet and sour, salty and numb, there are refreshing and delicious vegetables, but there is no blandity of general vegetarian dishes, which attracts many diners to come to taste.When Qin Feng came to ask Xue Ying for help with a sad face, she knew that this time the matter was not so simple, and it seemed that she was ready for a protracted battle.What to do to challenge the eyes of spring?
Xue Ying has been meditating hard, and she can't even eat dinner.The gourd soup shop was about to close soon, and Xue Ying suddenly noticed that Li Wei was not there today as usual, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, heh, the man's words were really unbelievable."
Mrs.
Shen, it's not early, we have to get up early tomorrow, let's close the door and rest early.""
Hey."
Shen Yao agreed, and was about to go out to close the door, but saw Li Wei step in and said, "Lady Xue, do you have any ready-made food for me to eat, I was stumped by official business today, so I came a little late." ”Xue Ying said coldly: "You don't need to explain to me when your Excellency is coming, we are closing, Your Excellency will come back another day." ”Levi sighed and said, "After all this time, you're still angry with me."
What happened last time, I guess it was mine, isn't it?
”Xue Yinggang was about to go back, but saw Li Wei and said: "I'm really tired today, if you don't think it's troublesome, just prepare something to eat, I'll leave after eating, it won't delay you too much." ”Xue Ying glanced at Li Wei attentively, and sure enough, he had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, although he always paid attention to his appearance and sat up straight, but his expression was slightly tired, thinking that he was really busy with official business.Somehow, Xue Ying suddenly lost the mood to play tricks on him.Shen Yao had already seen that the relationship between the two was a bit unusual, and at this time she asked in a round, "I wonder what Bachelor Li wants to eat?"
”"Just make some porridge and water."
Xue Ying also sighed, her heart was still too soft.Xue Ying walked into the kitchen and found that there was still half of the mandarin fish she bought in the morning, so it was better to make a bowl of mandarin fish porridge.Xue Ying scraped the scales of half of the mandarin fish, cleaned and cut off the head and tail of the fish, and then carefully lifted the skin.The rice is soaked in advance, and she puts the whole mandarin fish and rice into a casserole, adds enough water and a little ginger to simmer over low heat.Shen Yao asked on the side: "To make meat porridge or fish porridge, if there is too little water, the porridge will be hard and thick, too much water, and the porridge is thin, how to grasp the ratio of water and rice?"
”Xue Ying explained: "The ratio of rice to water is about 1:7.The porridge is just the right amount of thickness. ”Estimating that the time was almost up, Xue Ying saw that the lid of the pot was lifted, and saw that the rice grains had bloomed, so he turned off the fire, carefully pinched out the main bones of the fish with chopsticks, picked up the small bone spurs, mixed the fish meat with rice porridge, added salt and pepper, and finally sprinkled a little green onion, and the mandarin fish porridge was ready.Li Wei was so busy in the palace that he didn't eat much for lunch, and when he relaxed, he realized that he was really hungry.The mandarin fish porridge was placed in front of him, the white fish meat and rice porridge were almost mixed together, and it was decorated with tender yellow ginger shreds and green green onions, and his appetite was quickly aroused.As soon as the mandarin fish porridge is entered, a fresh and sweet taste lingers in the taste buds, the rice porridge is boiled just right, the entrance is soft and glutinous and not excessively rotten, the fish meat is fresh and fragrant, and there is faint fish fat oozing.Because the appropriate amount of ginger and pepper is added, the fishy smell is effectively removed, making the taste of this bowl of porridge more mellow.This bowl of mandarin fish porridge quickly filled Levi's empty stomach, and he actually drank the porridge to the point that there was nothing left.He wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said, "Thank you." ”Levi suddenly found that Xue Ying had cooked many meals for himself, and he never seemed to have said thank you seriously.Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, and finally said, "Since you are full, let's go back, I also have to rest." ”Levi said lightly: "It's raining outside." ”Xue Ying was stunned for a moment before she found that the drizzle had fallen slowly in silence, moist, fine, and endless, and the spring breeze mixed with water vapor blew in, shaking off a pear tree in front of the hall.She paused and said, "You wait. ”Xue Ying took an oil umbrella from his room and handed it to him silently.The corners of Levi's mouth curved upwards in a beautiful arc, and he said again, "Thank you."
I've been busy with things in my yamen these days, so I might come late. ”Xue Ying immediately said: "Don't talk about this, I don't care if you come or not." ”Who knew that Li Wei kept looking at her, and actually smiled slowly, until Xue Ying felt a little embarrassed, and he asked, "I see that you are always busy from morning to night these days, are you tired?"
”Xue Ying was quite surprised, since her father's death, no one seemed to ask if she was tired, she was silent for a moment and said, "Tired, but very fulfilling."
There is no such thing as an easy thing in this world.Although you are in a high position, don't you also have an easy life?
”Li Wei was stunned for a moment, most of the scholars thought that he was a young man and had a smooth career, but who knew the hard work and hardships behind him, he paused for a moment and said: "It's strange to say, I am really tired after a busy day, but after drinking the mandarin fish porridge you made, it seems that I have regained a lot of strength." ”Levi seldom confided his thoughts to others, and his face flushed slightly as soon as he said this.The first time he heard Li Wei affirm the dishes he made, Xue Ying almost subconsciously smiled, and hurriedly held back, no, he wouldn't soften so easily.But she suddenly had an inspiration, and she knew what new dishes to make to fight Wang Housheng in the ring.Li Wei looked at Xue Ying's expression in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It's not too early, I'll leave first, you can rest early." ”Since Levi is leaving, he naturally has no reason to stay.Xue Ying looked out through the paper window, Li Wei's tall and upright figure was slowly moving in the rain, his oil umbrella was obviously too small, and after a while, his sleeves were wet with the rain, Xue Ying suddenly regretted a little, he should have found a bigger umbrella for Li Wei.The author has something to say: the method of boiling jade and three crispy soups is from "Shanjia Qing Offering", but it is the three crispy soups of the mountain family, which are improved into three crispy soups here.At nine o'clock tonight, after finishing the morning of the 37th chapter of the soup shop, Xue Ying came to Wang Housheng's store, and she had already thought about launching a mountain and sea pocket to fight with Liang Yongnian.A few days ago, the two companies launched the gold-wrapped jade, three crispy soups, and spring colors, all of which are made of seasonal vegetables, and the taste is refreshing, while the mountain and sea pockets that Xue Ying wants to make today are made of bamboo shoots, bracken, mandarin fish and fresh shrimp as raw materials, and the taste is more delicious.Originally a Jiangnan generation food, it has recently become very popular in the capital, and it is a food composed of mung bean flour skin and filling.Xue Ying washed the bracken and spring bamboo shoots, and cut only the most tender part into fine cubes.The mandarin fish is cleaned and wiped dry, the meat is cleaned on both sides of the slice, the green shrimp is shelled, and the fish is cut into fine cubes.Then put the diced fish and shrimp into a deep bowl, steam them for a while, strain the water and put them together with the diced bamboo shoots and ferns, and then pour in sesame oil, salt, soy sauce and pepper to taste.At this time, the mung bean flour skin was also soaked, Xue Ying cut the flour skin into triangles, put the filling in the middle, and wrapped it into a triangle, in order to prevent the pocket from falling apart, she specially added a little mung bean flour paste on the edge of the package.After everything is ready, it can be steamed in the pot, it does not have to take long, it only takes half an hour, and the mountain and sea pockets are ready.Because it was a seafood filling, Xue Ying specially mixed the sauce composed of vinegar and garlic paste and poured it on the pocket.The steamed mung bean flour skin is crystal clear, and you can vaguely see the pink shrimp meat, white fish meat, and green bracken, which looks very attractive.Qin Feng was full of anticipation for this basket of pockets, and couldn't help asking, "Can I taste it?"
”Xue Ying smiled: "Of course you can." ”Then he beckoned to the crowd: "Let's all come and try it, and see if there is anything else worth improving." ”Qin Feng couldn't wait to take a bite of the mountain and sea pocket, a sweet taste immediately lingered on the tip of the tongue, the fish and shrimp were fresh and smooth, the bamboo shoots and ferns were fragrant, the mung bean flour skin was refreshing, and the mouth was as fresh as a spring breeze, which was really evocative.He couldn't help but praise: "This bag of stuffing contains both mountain vegetables and seafood, which is really worthy of the name." ”One of the chefs in the restaurant also praised: "This dish tastes really good, but I have a suggestion to add a little shrimp gelatin to the filling, and the taste will be more fresh." ”Xue Ying's eyes lit up and said: "This is very true, if you only use fish and shrimp as the filling, the taste will be slightly dry."
Shrimp gelatin is sticky and rich in fat, which makes the filling smoother and more delicious. ”Qin Feng also smiled and said: "This is very good, presumably once this dish is launched, Liang Yongnian should have a headache again." ”As Qin Feng expected, once the Shanhai Pocket was launched, it was really popular, and even some loyal diners in Liang Yongnian's restaurant came to taste it.After a few more days, Liang Yongnian couldn't sit still, so he asked his cronies to go to Wang Housheng's store to buy a plate of mountain and sea pockets, he only tasted one bite, and his face sank.Not to mention that the name of this dish is very atmospheric, it can attract those literati doctors who claim to be elegant, and the taste is also very rich, with both the delicious and plump fish and shrimp, and the refreshing and sweet fragrance of bamboo shoots and ferns, which is really a very seasonal dish.Liang Yongnian had to admit that this time he lost.Don't underestimate Xue Ying, this woman, she is the big trouble in her heart, thinking of this, Liang Yongnian called his cronies over and whispered a few words.The cooking competition between Wang Housheng and Liang Yongnian has finally come to an end, and Xue Ying has been concentrating on the affairs of the soup shop for this time, but she now finds that it is becoming more and more difficult to buy seafood such as fish fish, clams, and Jiang Yao in the store, and even if she buys it occasionally, most of it is not fresh.According to Zhang Qing, it was the vendor who supplied the goods and was instructed by Liang Yongnian to do it intentionally.
