"Ye Chui, why is this dish called eggplant? What does croaker mean?" In the kitchen, Lin Wei looked at Ye Chui and Tian Xiaodu and Sun Yi busy cooking ingredients. ◇↓

Even Han Yuyan pretended to start washing dishes. I wonder if she wanted to look very professional. She washed a plate for five or six minutes but couldn't wash it - Ye Chui was even more embarrassed to tell her that he couldn't use the plate at all...

Hearing Lin Wei’s question, Ye Chui smiled and replied: “The word “龙” means a delicious dish. The word “龙” originated from the Warring States Period and the Wu Kingdom’s ministers feasted for the ministers. The king Fuchai ate a dish made of small fish. He thought it was very delicious, so he gave the dish the name “龙”, which is a combination of beauty and fish.”

Lin Wei heard Ye Chui's explanation and said "Oh" to praise him. Tian Xiaodu and Han Yuyan also showed a surprised expression to Ye Chui's explanation. Both of them were highly educated people, but they never knew the origin of the word "龙". Unexpectedly, Ye Chui not only made delicious food, but also had a good cultural foundation.

——In fact, of course, this is not the case. Ye Chui knew the origin of this word because he had specially checked the origin of this word in order to restore the deliciousness of the eggplant. However, looking at Tian Xiaodu and Han Yuyan's surprised expressions, Ye Chui did not reveal it.

The ingredients brought from the restaurant have been placed on the chopping board, with full-colored round tomatoes, carefully selected high-quality chicken breasts, and various dried fruits, mushrooms and other ingredients.

"Sun Yi, now clean all these ingredients and don't have any impurities inside. Xiao Du, please help me peel off the skin of this eggplant." Ye Chui gave the order and tied himself a scarf.

Sun Yi and Tian Xiaodu acted one after another. They had already eaten the delicious eggplant dish many times when Ye Chui tried the dishes these days, but they never knew how to cook it.

Tian Xiaodu knew the preciousness of the recipe, so although he was very interested in this dish, he deliberately avoided it. Sun Yi wanted to peek at it, but he was drunk by Tian Xiaodu every time.

At this time, how to cook this delicious eggplant is the first time that Ye Chu has been exposed to the world.

"Leaves are drooping, I want to help you too!" Lin Wei said with an excited look on her face, wanting to help Ye Chui.

Ye Chui smiled and pointed at Han Yuyan: "You go and help Dayu wash the dishes together."

Lin Wei: “…”

Ye Chui picked up the piece of chicken breast and started cooking. The chicken breast needs to be diced, but it cannot be diced directly. First, the chicken breast should be sliced ​​thin, then cut a knife on it, and then cut it into diced chicken. This is done to make the chicken more delicious and at the same time it is easier to exude the umami flavor of the chicken.

Ye Chui's movements were meticulous, flowing and extremely fast. On weekdays, Ye Chui is the main chef in the restaurant, but he handed over everything such as cutting vegetables and side dishes to Tian Xiaodu. This was the first time Tian Xiaodu was watching Ye Chui show his knife skills seriously.

Sun Yi had already known that Ye Chuan's knife was very skilled, but at this time he couldn't help but show an admiration.

As the leaves drooped, the chicken was cut into diced pieces and put it in a small pot, then another egg was taken out.

"Ye Chui, do you want to mix eggs and chicken?" Lin Wei naturally wouldn't really help Han Yuyan wash dishes. The snacker stood beside him and asked curiously.

"That's right, but you only need to use egg white to stir the chicken. This is called hang-up paste, also called wearing clothes, to protect the moisture of the chicken and keep the chicken flavor to the greatest extent." Ye Chu said, then knocked on the eggs, allowing the egg white to flow into the diced chicken, and the egg yolk was discarded. Then he carefully stirred the chicken. His words were told to Lin Wei, but in fact they were mainly for Tian Xiaodu.

Tian Xiaodu listened with his ears while skillfully peeling the skin of the eggplant. After the leaves were processed, Tian Xiaodu's eggplant had been cut. As a five-star chef, Tian Xiaodu's knife skills were naturally speechless. After peeling the whole eggplant, the white meat inside was exposed, which turned round and very smooth, and the knife skills were also very impressive.

"Master, how do you cut this eggplant?" Tian Xiaodu continued to ask.

"Please help me get a basin of water and put some salt in it." Ye Chu took the eggplant and ordered it - after diced the eggplant, it should be put into light salt water, so that the eggplant will not change color. This is common sense in the kitchen. Tian Xiaodu hurriedly agreed and went to work hard.

Ye Chu started cooking this eggplant. There are also requirements for cutting eggplant. It is cut into squares of similar sizes. This item does not seem to be too difficult, but it actually tests the knife skills. It is not easy to cut the ingredients to the same size, but it is not difficult for Ye Chu - I heard a rapid and even sound of "Dundun" cutting vegetables, and pieces of diced cuts quickly appeared on the cutting board.

When Tian Xiaodu received the light salt water, Ye Chui sent the egg white into the water. His whole movements seemed like a wonderful dance. Lin Wei didn't even bother him this time.

Sun Yi had already cleaned all the ingredients, and Ye Chui continued to cut the oyster mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms into diced diced pieces of the same size, and put them together with cashew nuts, northern almonds and hazelnuts. The preparation for this delicious oyster mushroom was over.

Next, as described by Feng Jie in Dream of Red Mansions, the first step is to fry eggplant in chicken oil. The chicken oil is also specially refined by Ye Chui. This oil is rarely sold on the market. Fortunately, the chicken farm in Chen Sitang comes with a chicken slaughterhouse. Ye Chui specifically asked him to help extract some of it. The chicken oil in the pot is cooked until it is 80% mature. Ye Chui puts the diced eggplant into the oil pan. The strong aroma of the chicken suddenly overflows, making people saliva.

Ye Chui was sure that he heard Lin Wei swallowing saliva beside him...

I saw that the originally gum-white eggplant quickly turned golden and soft. When the leaves stopped fire and took out the eggplant, the eggplant was already full of chicken oil. Remove the oil and set up a wok. The pan did not add oil. Put the chopped green onion and ginger directly and put the diced eggplant full of chicken oil into it and stir-fry it. This process is called dry stir-frying, which can spit out the oil in the eggplant, making the diced eggplant not oily or greasy.

After the eggplant is dried and stir-fried, put it on a plate and set aside. Then continue to stir-fry other freshly cut oyster mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and diced chickens, so that these ingredients can reach 60% ripe and serve.

Then I put in a pot and added hot oil. This time I had to stir-fry three dried fruits: cashew nuts, northern almonds and hazelnuts. Because the dried fruits have a hard texture, they need to stir-fry a lot. Ye Chu held the wok in one hand and the frying spoon in the other. As his hand flipped, the flame suddenly burst out above the wok, making a loud bang, making indescribable magnificent momentum.

Lin Wei was watching attentively, but was startled by the sudden burst of flames. When she went to see Ye Chui again, she suddenly became stunned. Ye Chui was solemn at this moment, and the fire spread on his face, as if he had brought him some "divineness" in an instant. Even Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan and Sun Yi were a little stunned.

Ye Chui was able to gain the name of the God of Food in his previous life, so he naturally had a charming demeanor. Now he is reborn, and his body is the young man, and even his childishness has not yet faded. However, at this moment, he seemed to have regained his demeanor in his previous life in an instant, just like "the God of Food possession".

Add the previously stir-fried mushrooms and chicken diced rice into the dried fruits, then add the golden diced rice eggplant, and then the seasonings such as salt, sugar, water starch, cooking wine and other seasonings into the pot in turn. The dried fruits are mixed with fragrant mushrooms and the fresh aroma of chicken, and they are all integrated into the diced rice eggplant in the final process, and a strong fragrance is emitted from this...

In the living room at this moment.

The guests who were originally talking enthusiastically stopped and turned to the kitchen. The fragrance from there was so rich and charming that it attracted their attention. Wu Haimei, who had been staying in the room before, was also attracted by the fragrance, walked downstairs, looking at the direction of the kitchen with anticipation.

Delicious eggplant is about to be released.

However, at this moment, Cao Kang took Fang Tao into the Lin family's villa - their dishes were completed first.
