In the crock that was going to be taken away tomorrow, Ruan Rou found a piece of good tenderloin.
The meat is square and straight, with clear texture. If it is not because it is raw meat, it is soggy and sticky, it would really look like an ornamental stone!
"Girl Rou, is this what you said, the treasure hidden by your father?" Cai Mi took the tenderloin from Rourou's hand, weighed it in his palm, and asked with a smile.
Finally seeing a smile on Cai Mi's face, her gentle mood relaxed for a moment.
"That's right, Uncle Cai, I just don't know what my father is keeping a piece of raw meat for? But let's say it first, you can't eat all of this meat, you have to leave some of it for my father, lest my father get suspicious! Wenrou frowned, really couldn't figure out what Wen Shou was going to use this piece of tenderloin to steal on the road.
"Hey, don't worry, I don't eat much, just a little is enough!" Cai Mi gestured with his hand, "But, do you really plan to let me use this piece of meat?" Cai Mi asked again worried again.
"Of course! I ruined your mutton and chicken legs before, so you couldn't eat it. It's just a piece of tenderloin, and you don't use it all. What are you afraid of!" Gentleness is refreshing.
"Then I'll do it!" Cai Mi said, and quickly pulled out a knife from the stove, and with a light stroke, one-fifth of the tenderloin was cut out.
"Cai Bo, you are so kind, that's all you need!" He said with a gentle and cheerful smile.
"Hehe, you're wrong, that's for your father, these are what I want to use!" Cai Mi smiled playfully, gently pushed the one-fifth of the tenderloin, and then put the remaining five four quarters. Take it into your arms.
"This... Uncle Cai..." Ruan felt that she was being tricked for the first time. Forget it, anyway, I didn't say before that I must keep more for my father. If my father asked, he would say that the meat has been kept for a long time and has shrunk!
"Hey hey hey." Cai Mi smiled triumphantly.
"Cai Bo, what are you going to do with this tenderloin?" Rourou's attention was all on the tenderloin in Cai Mi's hands at the moment.
"Go, go back to the house and sleep! You have to hurry tomorrow!" Cai Mi drove Wenrou impatiently.
"Uncle Cai, just let me stay here! Anyway, I have watched all your skills before. I promise not to tell!" Rourou continued to beg.
"What kind of skill? I just did it casually. They are all small tricks of the country people. They are not comparable to your masters in Zuixianlou! If you don't go back to sleep, just stay here. Anyway, as I said, I am just a country villager. Husband, now I'm a handyman, not a master!" Cai Mi was so tortured by tenderness that she couldn't help it, and she had been tossing all night. If the entanglement continues, it will be dawn, so I just follow her.
"Uncle Cai. You are so kind! I promise to stay in peace." He made a gentle and mischievous face.
"That. You said it yourself! Stay quietly, don't touch my things, don't make trouble for me!" Cai Mi stretched out a finger, warning Genuine seriously.
"Definitely." She agreed with a gentle smile.
I saw Cai Mi cut the tenderloin in his hand into two-inch long and half-inch thick strips along the texture of the meat. I chopped some chopped green onion and shredded ginger and put them on the meat strips, then added soy sauce, salt, pepper noodles, cooking wine, mixed well, and marinated in a large bowl with a wide mouth.
"Cai Bo, it's so dark, you can see the texture of the meat! It's amazing!" Gentle praised.
"Hmph, what is the texture of meat? I don't understand!" Cai Mi said.
"Cai Bo, what you did just now to grind peppercorns into noodles. It's really amazing. It turns out that the rolling pin can also grind seasonings!" Rourou thought of something again.
"Hmm." Cai Mi replied angrily.
"Cai Bo, is this marinating meat? How long will it take?" Rourou continued to ask.
"Shut up!" Cai Mi didn't bother to pay attention, and just yelled roughly.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll shut up!" Seeing that Cai Mi was a little annoyed, Ruan Rou covered her mouth with her hands obediently, as if she didn't want to say any more.
After about a quarter of an hour...
Cai Mi touched an egg from the ingredients basket, lightly beat it on the side of the bowl, put it into the bowl of cured meat, added some starch, and stirred it vigorously with chopsticks, ready for use.
"Cai Bo, why do you need to add starch when you put eggs? Don't you put only the same kind of sizing in general?" Rourou saw Cai Mi's method, and asked curiously again.
"Shut up!" Cai Mi ignored her for a long time, and roared angrily again at this moment.
"Cai Bo, if you speak louder, the people in the courtyard will wake up not only by the smell of your cooking meat, but by your loud voice!" Rourou smiled mischievously again.
"Hmph!" Cai Mi snorted coldly, ignoring Wen Rou any more.
The woman is really long-winded, let alone a little girl!
You have only learned how to cook for a few days, and you only know one set of skills. You are really overwhelmed!
At this moment, Cai Mi felt a deep dissatisfaction and contempt for gentleness in her heart.
Putting down the bowl for mixing the meat, Cai Mi skillfully lit the firewood, set up the pan, and poured oil.
The movements are smooth and everything is done in one go, so gentle that the eyes are straight.
"Cai Bo, do you also cook at home?" Rourou still couldn't hold back, and asked again.
"Nonsense! If you don't cook, is there anyone else who prepares it and serves it?! As I said, I'm a farmer, not a nobleman who stretches out his clothes to eat and opens his mouth!" Cai Mi said angrily.
Strange, why did you pay attention to that girl again! At this moment, Cai Mi felt a little remorse in his heart, and in an instant, he put on a cold face again, ignoring tenderness.
There was green smoke curling up from the oil in the pot, Cai Mi put his palm on the oil surface to feel it. According to Wen Rou's visual inspection, the oil temperature at this time is about 70% hot.
At this moment, there was only a hissing sound, and one of the meat strips that were still in the bowl just now rolled over like a frying pan, followed by the second, and the third... In the blink of an eye, Cai Mi Using a pair of chopsticks, I put all the meat strips in a bowl into the oil pan, and turned them all over!
At this moment, the oil temperature has just reached 80%!
Gentle's attention was all focused on the golden strips of meat in the pot, and she still couldn't get enough of it.
I saw Cai Mi holding his breath and concentrating on it, using a big fence. With a light scoop, all the meat strips in the oil pan were scalded into the big strainer. Only tiny oil bubbles continued to sizzle on the strips of meat.
"Is this all right?" Gentle and curious asked.
Cai Mi didn't have time to care about tenderness at all at the moment. In the blink of an eye, the oil in the pot was already 90% warm.
"Wow, hiss" The meat strips that were still holding the oil in the strainer just now rolled into the oil pan again in a blink of an eye.
"Rebomb!" Rourou exclaimed in shock.
This is the first time she has seen such repeated bombing techniques!
"Hmph." Cai Mi squeezed out a sneer again from his nose.
The meat strips in the oil pan gradually turned from golden yellow to reddish brown. At this moment, with a big wave of Cai Mi's hand, the big fence stretched into the oil pan again, scooped up all the meat strips and put them on the plate.
"Should it be better this time!" Wen Rou asked speculatively.
"Hmm." Cai Mi snorted coldly.
Ignoring the tenderness, he directly took the plate by himself, turned around and sat on the small stool in the kitchen, and chewed the plate of fried meat sticks with relish.
The texture of the meat after repeated frying, rolling in Cai Mi's mouth. There was only the sound of chewing and chewing, and Cai Mi closed her eyes and enjoyed the beauty.
Hearing Gentle's saliva, seeing Gentle's swallowing saliva flooded again.
"Cai Bo. Is it delicious?" Gentle and tentative asked.
"Hmm." Cai Mi didn't have the time to explain at the moment. You don't need to ask, as long as you look at the food, you will know that Wen Rou's question is absolutely nonsense.
"Cai Bo." Rourou called out.
"Huh?" Cai Mi answered absently.
"Look, I've been tossing all night, and I'm also tired, how about..." Gentle moved closer again.
"Go back to sleep!" Cai Mi said. I almost choked tenderness to death.
"Cai Bo, I'm not sleepy, I'm just hungry!" Rourou said bluntly.
"Are you hungry? It's none of my business!" Cai Mi raised his eyes, glanced at Rou Rou, and continued to eat while saying, "Your father must not have just hidden such a piece of meat. If you are hungry, go find some by yourself Eat it!"
"Uncle Cai. Didn't you finish this? You see, there are so many...you can't eat..." Rourou began to falter.
"Who said I can't eat? I don't even have enough to eat!" Cai Mi glanced at Wen Rou, changed positions, and hugged the big plate of fried meat sticks into his arms.
"Hmph! What's the big deal! Isn't it just fried meat!" Seeing that the old man surnamed Cai didn't even give him a bite, Rou Rou became angry.
After tossing all night, isn't it just for a good meal! This old man is so stingy!
Rourou said angrily, and approached the stove angrily.
The appearance and steps of Cai Mi's cooking just now clearly appeared in his mind.
After tearing off the remaining one-fifth of the tenderloin, there was nothing left for Wen Shouzheng for a while! Three times and two times, cut into strips as usual, marinate, beat eggs, put starch, mix well, pour oil, put in the pan, fry, and fry again.
When golden yellow turns reddish brown, pick it up quickly and put it into a bowl.
"Isn't it just fried meat! What's the big deal!" Rourou said, blowing gently on the bowl of meat that she had just fried.
It is crispy and delicious, with a moderate flavor. I never thought that soft meat can be made with such a hard and crunchy taste.
After only one bite, Ruan fell in love with this dish deeply.
"That... you did it too?" Seeing that Ruan Rou was also holding a bowl, Cai Mi sat down, feeling curious for a moment.
"Yeah." Wenrou replied angrily.
"I'll try it." Cai Mi said, and she stretched out her chopsticks.
"Uncle Cai, don't you have it..." Before Rou Rou finished her sentence, before she had time to dodge, Cai Mi's chopsticks had already been stretched out, quickly picked up a piece of fried meat, and put it directly into her mouth.
In fact, Cai Mi had already observed carefully when he was operating gently just now.
This girl is so born and amazing! Why did I only do it once, and when she copied it again, all the essentials and steps were correct, and it was quite flexible! Just don't know how it tastes.
However, at this moment, with the meat in his mouth, Cai Mi was shocked.
This taste! It's exactly the same!
