"There are so many ingredients. Since we live here, we are not too embarrassed. Let's leave it to me to take care of the future dinners. You can just prepare the ingredients." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, here Bernice hadn't spoken yet, but Xiaoya started talking with a smile. Now that she had taken off her scarf, she was indeed much more cheerful than when she saw her in the morning.
"Can you cook?" Hearing Xiaoya's words, Jiang Hai asked in surprise. Then he patted the back of his head and remembered that the other party had just made a home-cooked cold dish. It was really not good for him to question the other party like this.
"Don't underestimate my sister. Even though she is young, she has been interested in being a chef since she was a child. She has been taught by many top chefs. We have Northeastern cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Beijing cuisine, and Shandong cuisine. She is good at all kinds of food, Zhejiang food, you have to give her good treatment this time, and you will be blessed by then." Hearing Jiang Hai's questioning words, Bernice here also smiled and said .
"It's not as scary as my sister said, but I can still cook some home-cooked dishes. Because I couldn't go to school before, so I had to study at home. There was no time to play, and the teacher rarely left any homework. In addition, there was no homework at home. People are very busy, so most of the time I have free time, I learn some cooking skills. My mother said that girls who can cook will be easier to get married in the future." After hearing what Bernice said, Xiaoya couldn't help but feel a little shy. She lowered her head, but even though she was a little shy, there was no color on her face. Speaking of which, Jiang Hai really felt pity for her more and more.
"Okay, then I'll wait for delicious food tomorrow. Tell me what ingredients you need." Looking at the lonely look on Xiaoya's face, Jiang Hai immediately changed the topic and looked towards him happily. she asked.
"It depends on what you want to eat!" Looking at Jiang Hai, Xiaoya seemed to have changed her mood. After all, she has become somewhat accustomed to it after so many years. Looking at Jiang Hai, she asked happily , it has always been her wish to be able to help others.
"Let me think about it, can you make charred pork strips?" Jiang Hai asked eagerly after thinking about the dish he wanted to eat.
"There's no problem with this, but I need non-spicy green and red peppers, carrots, sweet and sour ones I saw just now, pork tenderloin, and starch, preferably potatoes." Looking at Jiang Hai, Xiaoya Bao came up with the materials she needed.
"There are green and red peppers in the vegetable garden, as well as carrots, pork, wild boar, okay? I remember buying starch, but I don't know if it has been used up." After thinking about it, he has no shortage of vegetables here, including green and red peppers. Americans love to eat.
The amount of carrots planted is the largest in Jiang Hai's manor, because not only people need to eat it, but horses also need to eat it.
The only thing I was a little confused about was the starch. I didn’t know if there was any left. Thinking of this, Jiang Hai went to the kitchen. After seeing that there was some left, he happily told Xiaoya that there was starch. This is the most important thing. , he also knows.
"Wild boar meat is okay, but before cooking, it needs to be marinated to remove the earthy smell. Well, this is a dish. Do you want to eat anything else?" Xiaoya was also satisfied when she heard that Jiang Hai had all the ingredients. He nodded and then asked happily.
"Can I make Kung Pao Chicken?" After thinking for a while, Jiang Hai named the second dish he wanted to eat.
"Is it Sichuan cuisine or Zhejiang cuisine?" After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Xiaoya also raised her eyebrows and asked. It was obvious that she was really passionate about cooking. She looked at Jiang Hai with a smile on her face and asked.
"Sichuan cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine is also fine, ah, I'm a little confused." Hearing her words, Jiang Hai was a little confused.
Kung Pao Chicken and Fish-flavored Pork Threads are two serious Sichuan dishes. Kung Pao Chicken was originally evolved from Shandong cuisine’s sauce-fried chicken, with the flavor of Gui cuisine’s spicy chicken added. In the late Manchu Dynasty, a new dish was formed, Kung Pao Chicken.
There are many versions in China, but the main versions are divided into two categories, one is the Sichuan cuisine version, and the other is the Northeastern cuisine version, also called the Zhejiang cuisine version, because when the previous dynasty was fighting against the invasion of island countries, the former government- The house moved to the mountain city.
At that time, the mountain city was not a municipality directly under the Central Government and was still considered one of the Shu regions. Naturally, the dishes it cooked were Sichuan cuisine. However, the emperor of the previous dynasty was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He was not used to the taste, so his chef improved it and made Sichuan cuisine. It was made into something sweet and sour that people in Zhejiang like to eat, and the commander-in-chief of Northeast China was the brother of the former emperor.
He also liked eating these dishes, so he promoted them to the Northeastern Army at that time. Later, after the Anti-Japanese War, everyone also popularized the cooking of these dishes. However, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions have their own cuisines after all, and it is difficult to integrate into them. There is no clear definition in the Northeast. cuisine, so these dishes took root in the Northeast, so much so that now many Kung Pao Chicken are sweet and sour, but actually spicy.
"Then how about doing both? It doesn't take much effort. You have chickens here. Kill one tomorrow. I will use the meat of the chicken legs to make Sichuan style, and use the meat of chicken Yuehun to make sweet and sour ones, and then use the remaining chicken , I'll make a chicken soup, and if you can still catch fish tomorrow, I'll make braised fish, and stir-fry the beef with Ziran beef. If you always eat it fried like this, it's easy to get angry." Looking at Jiang Hai's entangled look , Xiaoya also said with a smile, and Jiang Hai was already drooling when he heard her words.
"Ah, I regret what I did tonight. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's dinner first!" Looking at Xiaoya, Jiang Hai really felt that his spiritual energy this time was well spent. To be honest, if he hadn't promised Bai Nice, he is really unwilling to use his spiritual energy to save others. Yes, Jiang Hai is not what Feng Yunchen said. He is a petty person.
He is extremely selfish. Why should his things be used by others? No matter how pitiful this man is, he still has a heart of stone.
This is why his golden finger is this aura. If it is high-tech or something like that, if you beat him to death, he will not give anything to the country. These things have nothing to do with him. He is such a person. Don’t talk to him. He won't listen to any big reason you say.
Treating Xiaoya this time was entirely because he owed Bernice a big favor, but now he felt that if Xiaoya was really good at her craftsmanship, then he seemed to have really made a profit.
"I hope I won't disappoint you." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Xiaoya also smiled and said seriously.
Next, everyone continued to have dinner. After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa, watching TV, and discussing how long Xiaoya would do, so that Jiang Hai could use this time to buy all the things.
But basically it was Jiang Hai and Xiaoya who were saying that Bernice didn’t care about these things at all, while Darlene and Marianne had never been to China, and they didn’t know what the authentic taste of these dishes was. Like this, so I can’t say anything.
Unknowingly, it was time to go to bed, and the five of them returned to their rooms and began to sleep.
But this night, two people were destined to have difficulty falling asleep. One of them was Jiang Hai, because he was thinking about what to eat tomorrow.
No one knows Jiang Hai’s obsession with eating. To be honest, Jiang Hai now has money, leisure, and a woman. The only pursuit in his life is eating. Now suddenly a chef comes , there really is nothing happier than this.
The other person with insomnia is Xiaoya. When she first arrived in a strange place, she could easily fall asleep. Only a careless person could do this. But apart from choosing a bed, she didn't do anything else. It's okay.
Because here, she no longer has the troubles she had in the past. She can be with her sister and live in a manor like a fairy tale world. There are many animals, green grass, and blue sky. , and the sea.
This kind of life was actually what she had longed for a long time ago. The only shortcoming was that she couldn't see it during the day.
But no matter what, looking at the night scene is still a beautiful thing, at least that's how it looks to her.
After a night of silence, Jiang Hai and Xiaoya didn't know when they fell asleep. When Jiang Hai got up the next day, Bernice's punches were almost finished. Jiang Hai didn't go for a run first because today To get ingredients, the amount of exercise can be guaranteed, so he got up first and made breakfast. Because Xiaoya couldn't leave the room during the day, he had to send it to her.
Of course, Jiang Hai will not forget Azarina. This woman has been living a very happy life recently.
After everything was done, Jiang Hai went to prepare the ingredients. In the morning, he went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and killed a chicken. To be honest, this was Jiang Hai's first time to kill a chicken, and it was still in Xiaoya. He killed it under the guidance of Jiang Hai, because after Jiang Hai caught the chicken, he really didn't know what to do with it. Bernice made a special call to Xiaoya and said "Public release" on the phone before killing the chicken.
The hair was removed, the blood was drained, and the internal organs were removed. Of course, the internal organs would not be thrown away. The heart, liver, etc. inside were all very delicious. After eating something casually at noon, Jiang Hai Went to sea.
Because today, he not only had to catch fish, he also had to get some other things. Everything he made before was basically in vain. Only when he talked to Xiaoya last night did he realize how wasteful he was. The lobsters alone were all in vain. It's good to eat it steamed, but if it's processed, it can be made into three kinds of lobsters. There are other steamed lobsters with garlic, sashimi, etc. Jiang Hai doesn't care, because he doesn't like to eat raw, and abalone is the most delicious. The method of cooking is naturally not steaming, but braised and simmered, but Jiang Hai doesn't know how to do it.
Sea cucumber is not only roasted with scallions, but also cooked with scallion oil, braised in braised sauce, clear soup, sea cucumbers with fungus and tofu, tea-flavored sea cucumbers, etc...
The methods of making sea cucumbers are also all kinds of strange, but Jiang Hai doesn't know how to solve the same problem.
Not to mention that he can't cook, in fact, he has never eaten these things before. After all, before coming here, he was also a good young man of the new century who was not diligent in his limbs and couldn't distinguish between grains. What he can cook and eat now are all the same. Mrs. Philemon learned it.
He only knew this, but now that a chef was here, Jiang Hai felt that it was time for him to feast on his food.
So today he was going to not only prepare a fish, but also some other ingredients and cook slowly, since she wouldn't be healed that quickly anyway.
