Adorable Food Goddess

Xia Chunyu really couldn't see such a sloppy woman dangling in front of his eyes, so he dropped the book in his hand, walked over, grabbed her by the back of her neck like a chicken, and carried her out.

"Go and wash yourself at the well."

Ye Jiayao was already unable to complain about this man's bad behavior, she didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, she turned silently and went to the well behind the small kitchen.

Uh, so obedient? Xia Chunyu thought she would get angry, but she dared to throw shoes in his face and call him a crazy woman. Although she will be submissive and flattering, she still has a bit of arrogance in her bones. Once she stabs her, she will erect the thorns all over her body to fight back.

Xia cChun felt powerless as if he had punched the cotton with his fist, and went back to his room resentfully to continue reading.

After a while, Song Qi and Peng Wu came back with four big baskets, two bags of rice and noodles.

Ye Jiayao took a look, there was no lack of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there were pots and pans, and even a complete set of knives. The ingredients included a big carp, a pork chop, a slaughtered chicken, a leg of lamb, and There are all kinds of seasonal vegetables. Ye Jiayao was dumbfounded: Four people, can they eat so much? The nature of the bandits can be seen, even going to the cottage kitchen to get something is like robbery.

Although she was already very tired, the words had already been spoken, and today's dinner was her first meal in the cottage, so Ye Jiayao cheered up and was ready to show her skills.

Ye Jiayao caught a carp, first threw the fish hard on the ground, and after falling unconscious, she began to remove the scales and internal organs, and asked, "Song Qi, Peng Wu, where are you from?"

Peng Wu was lighting the fire: "I'm from Hebei."

Song Qi was in Zhanzi Pai: "I'm from Zhenjiang."

"What about the third family?"

Song Qi scratched his head: "Who in the third family doesn't know, I haven't heard him mention it."

Uh... Well, the guy's accent seems to be from the Wuyue area. In this case, there should be nothing wrong with cooking Huaiyang cuisine.

China's food culture is extensive and profound. After long-term development and evolution, it has formed its own system and has distinctive local flavor characteristics. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was roughly divided into the southern food system and the northern food system. In the Qing Dynasty, it developed into Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, and Huaiyang. The major cuisines were further divided into eight major cuisines.

Although Ye Jiayao has studied all major cuisines, she is best at Huaiyang cuisine, because her father is a special chef in a five-star hotel in Suzhou. Huaiyang cuisine is exquisite in material selection, fine in production, focusing on knife skills, light in seasoning, pursuing the original taste, good in color, fragrance and shape, which belongs to the elegant style. Cooking makes good use of heat, and is good at stewing, braising, simmering, warming, steaming, roasting, frying and other cooking methods.

Seeing that sister-in-law was skilled in her movements, Song Qi asked, "Sister-in-law, where did you learn this cooking skill?"

"At home... I mean I learned from my cook."

"You young lady still need to learn this?"

Ye Jiayao looked up at the beam at a forty-five-degree angle, her eyes were complex and difficult to distinguish, and seemed to bring back some unbearable memories of the past, and then she lowered her head and sighed: "Ah... it's hard to say."

When you don't want to talk about it, it's definitely a good way to pretend to be melancholy and profound.

Sure enough, Song Qi stopped asking.

When the fish is finished, Ye Jiayao first puts Song Qi’s chops into the pan and stir-fries them, then adds sliced ​​ginger, a little shiitake mushrooms, cooking wine and soy sauce and other seasonings. Aberdeen ribs are tasty enough, rich in bone flavor and soft and rotten meat.

Then wash the chopping board and start cutting soft tofu. I saw that she carefully sliced ​​tender tofu into paper-like uniform slices, each piece was neatly stacked, and the fingers of her left hand were curled up against the back of the knife. As the fingers retreated, the kitchen knife moved quickly and evenly. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water. Peng Wu's eyes straightened. Is this chopping tofu?

Song Qi was surprised: "Sister-in-law, are you making Wensi tofu?"

Ye Jiayao chuckled: "Yes! Have you eaten?"

Song Qi swallowed, "No, no, but I've seen it before."

"Then let you try the authentic Wensi tofu today, but unfortunately there is no ham." Ye Jiayao regretted.

Song Qi thought for a while: "Is it okay to use Fengrou? I saw Fengrou in the kitchen."

Ye Jiayao's eyes lit up: "Okay, why not, although the meat is not as bright as ham, and has a salty and sweet taste, but its texture is tender, refreshing but not greasy, and it is also a good seasoning to enhance the flavor."

"Then I'll get it." Song Qi hurriedly went.

Ye Jiayao wanted to explain, just cut a small piece, otherwise, according to their temperament, they might bring back the whole piece of meat, but Song Qi seemed to go away in a gust of wind.

After the shredded chicken breast, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms were finished, Song Qi came back out of breath. As expected, he took a large piece of wind meat and said out of breath, "Old Yutou is too stingy, why don't you just eat it?" Did you ask him for a piece of wind meat? He chased him out with a kitchen knife."

Ye Jiayao couldn't laugh or cry, this is really a bandit among bandits.

Looking at the smoke rising from the kitchen, Xia Chunyu couldn't help but feel some anticipation. He didn't know what tricks she would come up with. He really wanted to go and have a look, but he was afraid of being misunderstood and he was greedy, so he had to hold back his curiosity. Continue to pretend to turn the pages of the book.

He picked up the teapot and poured water, but the water was gone, and he called out to Song Qi at the top of his voice, but no one came.

Xia Chunyu immediately took the kettle to the kitchen.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the kitchen, I smelled a strong smell of fish, which made my index finger move. Xia Chunyu put the teapot on the table, and shouted: "Where are people? Where are they all dead?"

Peng Wu hurriedly ran out of the kitchen: "Master San, wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."

Xia Chunyu said with a serious face: "Who asked you about the food? Do you know that the teapot is empty? It's just a meal, not a banquet. Do you need so many people? You also want to change your career to be a cook, right?" , you can go to the kitchen to work tomorrow."

Peng Wu was scolded to the point of shame: "I'm going to boil the water right now."

Ye Jiayao couldn't take it anymore, she copied the spoon in her hand and was about to go out, Song Qi grabbed her and shook her head.

Xia cChun turned on the fire but didn't see anyone coming out, so he had to go back to the house.

Song Qi looked around the door, then came back and said, "The third master has gone back."

Ye Jiayao said unhappily: "He is too difficult to serve. Everyone is kind enough to cook him a delicious meal. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, and come here to find fault."

Song Qi laughed and said: "Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart, San Dang's family is actually very good."

"What a fart, I'll turn my face every now and then." Ye Jiayao said angrily.

"That can't be blamed on the third family. There is no one in the village who is easy to get along with. The third family has been on the mountain for two months and has taken the third position in Heifenggang. Many brothers in the village are not convinced. If the third family is not strong, what's the matter?" I can hold it down." Song Qi said with a smile.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes, that's what she said, he just wanted to calm everyone down, to make everyone listen to him, like a dog.

"What about the second master and the first master? How are they?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Song Qi frowned and said: "It's not easy to say, the first master! He looks very good-natured. I heard that he is a scholar and doesn't know martial arts, but the brothers in the village are very afraid of him. The second master, it seems He has a fierce look on his face, but he is the best at talking."

That is to say, those with white faces sing red faces, and those with red faces sing bad faces. Ye Jiayao changed to a frying pan, poured a thin layer of oil, and fried the shiitake mushrooms stuffed with meat paste. The aroma of the meat and the shiitake mushrooms blended together, stimulating people's sense of smell. Add a little wet starch to the prepared soup and cook for a while, so that the mushrooms can absorb the water and taste of the soup and become luscious and delicious.

This is the modern way of shiitake mushrooms on the iron plate. Ye Jiayao made a slight modification and turned it into another dish. Use chopsticks to place the shiitake mushrooms on the fried green vegetable leaves, pour the soup evenly, and another delicacy is freshly baked.

"Okay, take it over here!" Ye Jiayao clapped her hands, and she was done.

Today, I made five dishes in total, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, mushrooms and green vegetables, Wensi tofu, and fresh bamboo shoots stewed with pork.

Song Qi sniffed it, and sighed contentedly: "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really amazing, just looking at the color and smelling the aroma, it will make people drool."

Ye Jiayao said with a smile, "Be careful not to drip your saliva into it."

"Sister-in-law, don't you take it yourself? The third family will definitely like it when they see it." Song Qi said.

Ye Jiayao curled her lips: "Forget it, he doesn't like me today, so I won't bother him."

She hasn't forgotten that someone carried her out like a rag, and she has never been so embarrassing in her life.

"How can it be, the third leader has a cold face and a warm heart." Song Qi laughed.

Ye Jiayao insisted not to go, and took some food to eat in the kitchen by herself.

In the room, Xia cChun was a little dazed looking at the five dishes, they were all very good in appearance and delicious, if Song Qi and Peng Wu were not around, he would have thought he was sitting in a big restaurant in Jinling !

"Third master, try it quickly, sister-in-law's cooking is delicious." Song Qi's stomach was full of gluttons, and he couldn't help but want to move his chopsticks.

Peng Wu also swallowed straight: "Third Master, you have found a treasure."

Xia Chunyu glanced at him: "What treasure? Hurry up and get the wine."

My heart said that the living treasure was almost the same.

I usually eat stewed meat in big pots, and I am so tired of it. It is rare to have such exquisite food, which whets the appetite. Food should be paired with fine wine.

"Hey." Peng Wu cheerfully went to bring a jar of wine to the third master Man.

Xia cChun just thought of Ye Jiayao when he picked up the chopsticks, so he asked, "Where is your sister-in-law?"

Song Qi said: "Sister-in-law is boiling hot water, let us eat by ourselves."

"Why do you boil hot water when eating?" Xia cChun mumbled, thinking of her dirty face, maybe she wanted to boil hot water for a bath! Women are troublesome, like their men, just fetch a bucket of water from the well, pour it around, or swim a few times in the pool behind the mountain.

The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sour and sweet. The braised pork ribs are full of fragrance and soft and delicious. The mushrooms are covered with a layer of pork belly. The fried meat is crispy and the mushrooms are smooth. The taste is delicious. What surprised him was the Wensi tofu, shredded tofu, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded shiitake chicken breast, and shredded chicken breast, as thin as a hair. This kind of knife skills is nothing more than the most famous chef in Jinling. Can you believe it: "This tofu was cut by your sister-in-law?"

Peng Wudao: "My sister-in-law cut it. I was dumbfounded. I just chopped it like that, and the shredded tofu that came out was like hair."

Xia Chunyu nodded, it seems that he has indeed picked up a treasure, in a sense.
