After observing for a while, Feng Yifan saw a batch of oyster mushrooms that had been dried by Han Wenwen. He immediately felt that this could be used to make a good dish for everyone.
So he directly borrowed the kitchen from the old Han family.
"Uncle Han, I'd like to borrow your kitchen, is that okay?"
Hearing this, Mr. Han smiled and asked, "What's the matter? You are the great chef Feng, are you going to show off your skills in my house? You want to buy and cook it now, right?"
Su Ruoxi couldn't help but say, "If you want to try to cook a new dish, just go home and cook it. It would be bad to disturb Uncle Han at his house."
Feng Yifan smiled and said to his wife, "I'm not going to make a new dish. I want to make a snack for the children."
Hearing that there were snacks to eat, Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Okay, okay, Dad, make some snacks for us. I want to eat with Sister Wenwen."
At this point, Feng Ruoruo said again: "No, no, there's also Brother Haohao. Dad, I want to go with Sister Wenwen to call Brother Haohao to come eat with us."
Su Ruoxi couldn't help but smile and said, "You only know how to eat. It's so early in the morning, I'm afraid Brother Haohao hasn't gotten up yet."
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "Brother Haohao is such a lazy bum. It's so late and he still hasn't gotten up."
Han Wenwen smiled and said, "Then I'll take Ruoruo to call Yue Qihao. Maybe he's already woken up. We can call him over so he can have Uncle Yifan's snacks as breakfast."
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Okay, okay, let's go, Sister Wenwen."
The adults did not stop them this time. They just shouted to the two children when they were leaving the house, asking them to be careful on the road.
But the adults were not worried, because the children were running around in the village, and the villagers would help watch them. Generally speaking, as long as they did not leave the village, nothing would happen. Besides, when Han Wenwen went out, she took her dogs with her.
If you really encounter one or two bad guys, facing a group of big and small dogs, you may not be able to do anything.
After the children left, Feng Yifan asked Wenwen's grandfather again: "Uncle Han, can I use the kitchen?"
Mr. Han smiled and said, "You can use it. It's an honor for our family to be used by a great chef like you. It also allows us to see the chef's skills."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Uncle Han, please don't belittle me. I just want to take advantage of the situation and make some interesting snacks for the children so that they can have a taste. Then, I want to give you an interesting side dish for lunch, Uncle Han. How about that?"
Mr. Han smiled and said, "Okay, we'll wait and see."
Feng Yifan then followed Grandma Wenwen into the kitchen and inspected the kitchen.
Determine what's in the kitchen and what's missing.
Fortunately, what Feng Yifan wanted to make was relatively simple, and the things in the Han family’s kitchen were basically enough.
Grandma Wenwen was still a little worried: "Yifan, we don't have much in our kitchen. Can you take a look and see if there is anything missing? If there is anything missing, tell your uncle Han and auntie, and auntie will go to the street to buy it for you. Just tell me, don't be polite."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Auntie, please stop worrying. These things are enough in your kitchen."
Then Feng Yifan first took out the oil from the kitchen.
The oil used in the kitchen is peanut oil, and it is also squeezed in the village oil mill. To be honest, the peanut oil squeezed in the village oil mill may be purer than the one bought on the street. Of course, the peanut oil squeezed in the village may also contain more impurities, which may have both advantages and disadvantages.
Feng Yifan picked up the oil barrel, looked at it and asked, "Auntie, can you use this oil?"
Grandma Wenwen immediately said, "If you want to use it, just use it. How can the family be short of this little oil?"
Hearing this, Feng Yifan also laughed.
Indeed, now that the living standards in the village have improved, no one cares about such a small amount of oil.
As for Feng Yifan, he just happened to process the barrel of peanut oil for the Han family and filter the oil slightly so that the Han family's cooking would taste more fragrant in the future.
"Auntie, I'll process this oil for you today. I guarantee that the dishes you cook with this oil will be more fragrant."
Grandma Wenwen didn't really understand, but she just said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll listen to you, the chef."
At the same time, Ning Cheng took the initiative to push Su Jinrong into the kitchen. He was also very curious and wanted to see what Feng Yifan was going to make.
In Ning Cheng's opinion, Feng Yifan needs to do relatively complicated preparation every time he cooks.
It is also because of the proper preparation in advance that he is able to cook every dish very well.
But it was obvious that the Han family's kitchen today was rather simple and did not meet Feng Yifan's requirements that he had prepared in advance.
So Ning Cheng became even more curious.
Feng Yifan poured all the oil into the pot. In the process of pouring it into the pot, the oil was also filtered through a sieve to ensure that the oil in the pot was cleaner.
Afterwards, Feng Yifan brought in all the oyster mushrooms that Han Wenwen had picked and dried.
After a brief rinse, absorb the moisture from the oyster mushrooms.
The temperature of the oil pan was about 50% to 60% at this time, but Feng Yifan was not in a hurry to add more oil. Instead, he said to Ning Cheng, "Remember, if the mushrooms are wet, then you should put them in now when the oil temperature is 50% to 60%, fry them, take them out, and wait until the oil temperature rises before adding them again."
After introducing them to Ning Cheng, Feng Yifan pointed at the oyster mushrooms in his hand and said, "Today these are dried a little, so there is no need to fry them twice. You can fry them directly when the oil temperature reaches 70% to 80%. "
As he was speaking, the oil temperature had risen, and Feng Yifan poured all the oyster mushrooms into the pan.
In an instant, the oil pan was boiling, and the oyster mushrooms quickly took shape in the pan and forced out the last bit of moisture, further shrinking into tight long strips.
Feng Yifan waited until the oyster mushrooms changed color and turned a burnt brown, then took them all out of the pot.
Pour out the oil in the pan and set aside to cool and settle.
Then scoop another spoonful of oil and put the scallions and ginger into the pan. Fry the scallions and ginger until they are brown, then discard all of them.
Feng Yifan then said to Ning Cheng, "Did you see that? The green onions and ginger here need to be discarded, so when frying, don't use the whole green onions and ginger. If you are in the kitchen, you can use the leftovers from other chefs. If you are at home, just use some green onions and ginger. Do you understand?"
Ning Cheng also wrote it down carefully.
Grandma Wenwen, who was standing by and watching, couldn't help but say to Su Ruoxi after hearing this: "It seems that this chef is also particular about saving money?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Yes, in many cases, when cooking, we just need the flavor of these onions and ginger, so we don't have to use the whole onions and ginger. Using some leftovers can also save waste. Nowadays, we are advocating conservation."
Grandma Wenwen nodded and said, "Yes, we should save some money now. I see a lot of young people wasting so much that it's really terrible."
Old Man Han also came to the kitchen at this time. Upon hearing this, he immediately shouted, "You have forgotten what it means to work hard for every grain of rice. Is it easy for us to work hard from dawn to dusk? As a result, those children, especially the young ones, just waste their food. It's really heartbreaking."
Grandma Wenwen continued, "Yes, it was shown on TV. All the good things have been ruined."
Feng Yifan took this opportunity to say to Ning Cheng, "Did you hear that? You should learn to cherish and never waste easily, especially as a chef, you can't waste ingredients casually. So do you understand why I ask you to take back everything you cut and eat every day?"
Ning Cheng nodded: "Yes, I understand. We can't waste it. We must cherish the hard work of the workers behind the ingredients."
Old Man Han looked at Ning Cheng and suddenly said, "Who did I think it was? Was it Brother Ning's eldest grandson? I said he didn't say a word since he came in, so I almost didn't recognize him."
The old man asked again: "Are you learning from your uncle Yifan now?"
Ning Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I am learning from Uncle Yifan, but I haven't passed the test yet, so I can't officially become his disciple."
Old Master Han smiled and nodded: "Well, work hard. I also know about the ridiculous things you did in the past. If you can wake up and turn back in time, there is a saying that goes 'a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold', so you must study hard and strive to become a formal apprentice. You will definitely become a great chef by following your uncle Yifan."
Ning Cheng said seriously: "Grandpa Han, I know. I will definitely learn well from Uncle Yifan."
After Feng Yifan finished frying the scallions and ginger, he added light soy sauce and a little dark soy sauce directly into the oil in the pot, then added some sugar. After the sauce became thick, he poured all the fried shredded oyster mushrooms into the pot, added some sesame seeds, and stir-fried them to ensure that each one was evenly coated with batter and sesame seeds.
Finally, add a little bit of chili, and then you can serve it.
Feng Yifan smiled and said to everyone: "Okay, this dish is ready. See if the children are here? Let the children have a taste and see how my dish tastes."
Hearing Feng Yifan say that this was a dish, the group of people couldn't help but feel very strange.
Su Ruoxi asked directly: "Didn't you say that you made this as a snack for your daughter? How come it has become a dish now?"
Feng Yifan explained with a smile: "This can be used as a snack or as a side dish for drinking."
When he was about to leave the kitchen, Feng Yifan said to Grandma Wenwen, "Auntie, please don't touch the oil in this pot now. Wait for it to settle. I will help you deal with it later. You can continue to use the oil, and it will make the dishes more fragrant."
Grandma Wenwen smiled and said, "Okay, we are all good cooks."
When a group of people came out of the kitchen, Feng Ruoruo and her other children had also returned.
As Feng Ruoruo entered the room, she did not forget to introduce Yue Qihao who came back with her: "Brother Haohao, my father bought the vegetables that Sister Wenwen picked, and then made delicious food for us. I immediately thought of the delicious food and wanted to share it with Brother Haohao."
Yue Qihao also said with anticipation: "Thank you Ruoruo."
Han Wenwen smiled and said, "Yue Qihao, you are so lucky. Sister Ruoruo is thinking about you. Otherwise, I would definitely not invite you to eat."
In fact, there are quite a few children in the village, but only Han Wenwen and Yue Qihao can really play well with Feng Ruoruo.
Some other children may be somewhat repulsed by Feng Ruoruo, or even a little afraid of her.
However, during this period of time, Feng Ruoruo also made some other friends, but her relationship was not as close as with Han Wenwen and Yue Qihao, so she did not call those children to eat together early in the morning.
After entering the yard, Feng Ruoruo immediately shouted, "Dad, Sister Wenwen and I are back with Brother Haohao. Have you prepared your snacks?"
A group of people in the yard were waiting for the children to come back, and everyone was curious about how Feng Yifan's dish tasted.
Feng Yifan picked up the plate and said, "It's ready. Come over and have a taste."
The three children ran over quickly and took a look at the fried shredded oyster mushrooms on the plate. The three children were very curious and didn't quite understand what they were.
Seeing the three children hesitate, Feng Yifan immediately said, "Don't be afraid, try it, it tastes delicious."
Han Wenwen's grandmother also took out chopsticks and distributed them to everyone.
Naturally, the three elderly people were asked to taste it first, and then Feng Yifan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and let his daughter taste it.
At the same time, others also picked up some with chopsticks and put them in their mouths to taste.
Originally, everyone was somewhat pessimistic about the dish. After all, there was a little bit of black stuff on the plate in front of them, and even though it was decorated with white sesame seeds, it didn't look very good.
But when they really put it in their mouths, everyone was instantly amazed.
Feng Ruoruo liked it very much, but this time the little girl did not shout out immediately. Instead, she curled up in her father's arms and watched how others would judge her father's dish.
Finally, it was Mr. Han who spoke first: "Well, it's really delicious."
As soon as Mr. Han opened his mouth, he made the final decision.
Later, Wenwen's grandmother also said: "Well, it's really delicious, salty, sweet, spicy, and still retains a bit of a crispy texture. It doesn't taste like mushrooms at all, but rather a bit like eating shredded beef. No wonder Yifan said this is a snack."
After hearing what her grandmother said, Han Wenwen immediately said, "Yes, I really thought it was shredded beef when I ate it."
Yue Qihao asked curiously: "Isn't this shredded beef?"
Feng Ruoruo finally spoke: "Hahaha, Brother Haohao guessed wrong, this is not shredded beef, this is made by Dad using the mushrooms that Sister Wenwen picked."
Yue Qihao was immediately amazed: "This, this is made of mushrooms?"
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is dried shredded oyster mushrooms. I fried them to remove all the moisture and added some seasoning, so you will feel that it tastes like shredded beef."
Yue Qihao picked it up with chopsticks and tasted it, then said in surprise: "It's made of mushrooms?"
Obviously, the boy still felt a little unbelievable and felt that this had overturned his cognition.
Ning Cheng was also the one whose cognition was overturned. He was also very surprised by the dish of mushroom shreds, especially since he watched Feng Yifan make it. The shock he felt was even stronger than that of Yue Qihao.
