Chapter 522 Have a Good New Year - Salt-Baked Snails
At this time, there was a laugh outside the door. It was from my brother Zhu Tonjian. He smiled and stuck his head out of the window and said: "Looking at your cooking is like acting. I will cook a few on the stage another day. Maybe more people will watch."
There are many famous actors and actresses performing.”
The two sisters were shy for a while, and then they groaned: "You were peeking at us cooking just now? It's so harmful to others, so I won't pay attention to you." "It wasn't peeking, it was the fragrance of the dishes that lured me here." Zhu Tongue said:
"I thought some kind of fairy kitchen had appeared, but it turned out to be you guys. Dad once said that popularity means wealth. If you can really attract popularity, you won't have to worry about Shiyue Tower not being able to open. It's a pity that you are
It’s not convenient for women to show their faces in public.”
It's inconvenient to show off in front of men, but what about in front of women? The sisters vaguely seemed to have some feelings, but they didn't have any good ideas for the time being.
While tasting the food, the two sisters mentioned to their brother that the maid Guo Xiaoshi's male companion Wang Erniu had been sold to an official's house in Caishiji. Zhu Toijian said: "This matter does not have to wait. You can write a letter immediately and send it to Caishiji."
He is the biggest customer of our Zhu family. Every year, the butler has to pay a visit with generous gifts. Now people are there to pay New Year greetings, but flying pigeons send a message asking the butler to look for it. If you find it, you can cook some new dishes that I have never eaten before as a reward.
,how?"
She knelt down and said, "My master's kindness is so great that I can't repay it by working like a cow or a horse. No matter whether I can find him or not, I feel deeply virtuous."
"I like to hear this." After saying that, he took out a thin piece of rice paper, asked Wang Erniu's appearance carefully, then drew on the paper and wrote the situation: "The calligraphy of Fei Ge Chuan Shu is simple and concise.
This time I will take care of it and wait for your delicious food."
Guo Xiaoshi said happily: "Master, my maid will make a salt-baked conch from my hometown and serve it as a snack for the master."
After saying that, start immediately. The steps to make this dish: a pack of coarse salt, medium-sized snails, Chinese peppercorns, and star anise, grab some without washing, put the pot in the pot without adding oil, stir-fry the peppercorns and star anise until fragrant, add coarse salt and stir-fry over low heat.

, do not turn off the heat, keep the heat low, add the snails, be careful not to burn yourself, arrange the snails, cover the lid and simmer for a while, you can see the snails squeaking through the lid, after a while

A pack of coarse salt, the snails should be evenly sized. Sprinkle pepper and star anise at will to enhance the flavor. The salt is like snow, and the snails are piled on top like stars. Simmer over low heat until the meat is white.
When I tasted it on my tongue, I felt that it was delicious and crispy, and there was an indescribable fragrance in the light fishy smell. This salt-baked dish is not difficult to make, but the difficulty is that the price of salt was as high as silver, and it was impossible for ordinary people to make it.
This is how the girl’s family fled here from the seaside in Shandong. The seaside
The most indispensable thing is salt. Seeing Zhu Tanjian staring at the snails intently, the two thought he was blaming him for wasting too much salt, so they knelt down and apologized: "Master, please forgive me, little maid, please pay attention next time, this salt fried
It tasted even better after that, so I packed it up and prepared it for the servants to use when cooking."
The two sisters knew that their brother had been like this since he was a child. He would be in a daze after eating delicious food. Obviously, he was shocked by the taste of the snails. He quickly helped her up and said: "Our Zhu family is not short of these few salt coins.
I’m confused because your food is so delicious.”
It was a false alarm! She looked again and again with suspicious eyes, and after confirming that the sisters were not comforting her, but the truth, she stood up. After a while, the tip of her red tongue recovered from the freshness of the conch.
She said to Hu Lanlan: "You are two people. I have tasted her conch. What special dish do you want to give me today? If you can get it, I will also satisfy your request."
"Thank you, Master, everything is fine here. The dish I'm cooking is called Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs." After she answered, she quickly started to work. She poured cold water, pork ribs and cooking wine into the pot.
, blanch the ribs over high heat, skim off the foam after the water boils, add some baking soda, continue to cook for a while, cook until the ribs are cooked, take them out
.Do not put oil in the pot, put the ribs in, cook over low heat slowly, when the oil naturally comes out, add the onions, ginger and garlic, dry roast them until they become fragrant, then add water, the amount of water is about three times that of the ribs. In the pot
After the water boils, start seasoning. Add rock sugar, vinegar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and hawthorn, cook for half an hour, and finally remove the juice, then you can take it out of the pot.
"Xingxiangzi·Han Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs"
Blanch the pork ribs and use cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. Use baking soda to make the pork ribs softer and softer. Do not put any oil in the pot and cook over low heat. The natural oil will come out. Add onions, ginger and garlic, and roast until fragrant.
Chun Chun Bone Soup, Yanyan Sauce. Bring the water to a boil, then add the seasoning, vinegar, light soy sauce, and hawthorn rock sugar. Cook over high heat until the soup thickens and the juice is gone.
Is this any different from ordinary sweet and sour spareribs? Zhu Tonjian looked at it strangely, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, it was different. First of all, its texture was softer, unlike ordinary sugar.
Vinegar pork ribs are the same, hard on the outside and soft on the inside, but the whole body is the same. Secondly, the aroma is different. The aroma of ordinary sugar ribs is a mixture of burnt aroma and vinegar aroma.
It has a pure meat aroma. How to add to it? She explained: "My servant didn't put a drop of oil when cooking. The oil is all slowly fried out of the meat. The aroma and fat are cooked out."
The oil is naturally different, and the boiled one has a burnt smell. In addition, hawthorn and baking soda are added to make the meat softer, and the sour taste is also very different from that of vinegar, without the pungent feeling of vinegar."
"On the third day of the first lunar month, the three of us, brother and sister, are going to thank the cooks at Fat Heart Restaurant who have been busy for several months and can't go home. It's up to you two to be the chefs. Practice hard these days." After saying that, Zhu Tonji tip made a meal with his hands behind his back.
Shi Randi left. The one who ate was a stove that was famous throughout the Song Dynasty. They knew this
The two ladies, Zhu Anxiang and Zhu Anyi, also attach great importance to the meal and cook it carefully.
If it goes well, there will be more certainty that Shiyue Tower will be restarted next year.
The Zhu family is one of the richest people in Xianju. Needless to say, the excitement during the New Year is naturally filled with delicacies, and the delicacies are constantly delicious. In a blink of an eye, it is the third day of the first lunar month. How to make the three brothers and sisters of the Zhu family and several famous animals eat delicacies every day?
It is not an easy thing for cooks all over the country to have something new on their tongues. They almost
I thought about it carefully and thought over and over again, it is impossible to win by taste. How can a few servants who are good at cooking in the eyes of ordinary people compare with the chef? We should still follow the old path, win by shape, and cook the food.
Innovate and make completely different dishes. The original iron plate, flames, etc. can be slightly improved, which can be regarded as an ingenious method.
When the food started to be served, flames burst out from the oysters, and the cooks exclaimed in unison. Amid the exclamations, a man came over carrying a large basin of braised beef head. This was prepared by the cooks in advance as a tribute to the Kitchen God.
When Guo Xiaoshi saw the waiter's face, a spoon fell to the ground with a clang and shattered into pieces.
