Chapter 95 Preheating, start burning the preheating mat
I woke up very early the next day, before dawn.
I checked the time and it was only after five o'clock.
The two cats were still sleeping soundly in the bed. Zhang Yu had no choice but to get out of bed carefully and cover them with the quilt.
Today's forecast said it would be sunny. After Zhang Yu brushed his teeth and washed his face, he started practicing directly.
Wu Shen's method of beating the body is still very useful. If I didn't practice before, my wrists would definitely feel sore when chopping meat stuffing, but it didn't happen yesterday, and after finishing all the work, I didn't feel too tired.
Of course, the most obvious thing is that his strength is also slowly increasing!
After sweating all over, Zhang Yu stopped and took a shower. When he came out, it was already dawn.
I mixed some feed for the two goslings. As for the cats and dogs, I will bring them to them when he comes back at noon.
When we arrived at Li Jianguo's place, someone was already busy inside.
"Master Zhang, you're here!" The aunt who helped yesterday was standing at the desk. Zhang Yu walked over and took a look, "What are you doing?"
"Make some tofu soup and eat it when they eat steamed buns."
"Okay, I'll do it."
"The relationship is great," the aunt said loudly. Then she smiled and said, "What should I do if the food I'm still thinking about doesn't taste good?"
"It's okay, it'll be quick." After Zhang Yu washed his hands, he took the knife, picked up a piece of tofu and started cutting it.
Originally there weren’t many people eating, so there was no need to make too much tofu soup.
Zhang Yu directly picked up the small iron pot and filled it with a basin of cold water, then put the cut tofu pieces in.
After blanching the tofu to remove the beany smell, Zhang Yu directly took a large colander and scooped up the tofu cubes in the pot without the need for a second blow.
Seeing Zhang Yu busy, those who had eaten fried noodles and spicy soup yesterday simply sat there and waited for him to make the tofu soup.
I want to try the tofu soup made by the other party to see if it is different from others.
Soon, the tofu soup will be ready.
Zhang Yu himself was not polite and just scooped a bowl for himself, then took a vermicelli bag that no one knew who bought it, sat down and ate it.
I took a bite.
It's salty and light, with just the right amount of pepper and a hint of ginger.
Not bad!
After just two sips, Li Xiaoyun strolled over.
"Why didn't you eat at your aunt's place?" Zhang Yu looked at her ladle of tofu soup with a surprised look on his face.
After Li Xiaoyun filled a bowl of tofu soup, she rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you have to spend money to go to my aunt's place? Can't you save money by eating here?"
Zhang Yu was stunned, yes!
After Li Xiaoyun took a sip, he saw a look of satisfaction on his face, "It tastes good!"
Then he looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Uncle Zhang, why does your tofu soup taste different from the tofu soup my aunt sells?"
"What's the difference? It's all tofu soup, and there's no standard." Zhang Yu washed the bowls, put them in the basin, and said casually.
While they were chatting, they saw Li Jianguo hurriedly walking over with his mobile phone, "Master Xiao Zhang, the croaker you want is hard to buy!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yu was stunned.
Li Jianguo smiled bitterly, "I want it too urgently, the quantity is not enough, it's too little, what do you think we should do?"
Now that things are like this, what else can we do? I can only say that others are unhappy.
"Then let's buy carp and make braised carp." Zhang Yu said helplessly.
"That's okay." After saying that, he dialed the phone.
"Uncle Zhang, what is the gaya fish? Is it delicious?" Li Xiaoyun suddenly asked from the side.
"It's the yellow catfish, also called yellow catfish." Zhang Yu glanced at her, "This fish is a freshwater fish, it has no spines. Is it delicious? Haha~ it's as delicious as when you drink fish soup."<
/p>
"Really?" Li Xiaoyun's eyes lit up.
"What's true? You can't eat it now anyway. I'll buy some of these fish someday and call you over to eat." Zhang Yu began to clean the chopping board and table.
Then take out the meat you bought yesterday.
Those that need to be soaked should be soaked, and those that need to be cleaned, such as sheep's hooves, will have to be cleaned by him.
Anyway, there were a lot of things to do today, and he still had to make meals for lunch and dinner.
Moreover, we can’t make do today because it’s a warm-up.
I asked Li Jianguo.
It is said that it is enough to arrange the dishes for six tables. It is not necessary to serve all the dishes, just most of them.
Even though he said this, Zhang Yu still tried his best to do as much as possible.
Of course, he has someone to help him, so he doesn’t have to do everything himself.
First, take a piece of front leg meat, make it 3/3 fat and 7/7 lean. Wash it quickly, slice it, then cut it into cubes, and finally chop it into stuffing. This is to make the lion head. Then I took a large piece of pork belly, this is to make the fermented bean curd button.
Meaty.
Li Jianguo also found him a set of steamers, the kind with an aluminum shell on the outside.
I don’t know whose family it belongs to, but it has been cleaned.
Someone was coding the new stove. The person coding the stove was from the village, but he didn't know him. After the stove was coded, someone helped to bring the burning briquettes over and put them inside, with the briquettes moved on top.
After taking six more elbows, Zhang Yu only planned to make some sauced elbows, and we’ll talk about the steamed egg with elbow flower tomorrow.
The banquet is completely different from that of his own family. Fortunately, he took these situations into consideration last night.
For example, when making steamed eggs with elbow scallops, he simmers them in earthenware pots over low heat at home. But how can there be so many earthenware pots for him to use when making banquets?
First remove the hair on the elbow, and then put it into the water. After everything is burned by the fire, Zhang Yu shouted: "Someone can help brush it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman came over and took over the work he was doing.
The firepower of the new stove had come up, and Zhang Yu quickly used both stoves together, one to blanch the sheep's trotters and the other to blanch the pork belly.
Taking advantage of this moment, he chopped the chicken into pieces without stopping, which would be used to make chicken soup later.
After the pork belly was blanched, Zhang Yu directly changed the water and then blanched the chicken pieces.
The lotus root had been chopped into pieces with help. Zhang Yu directly added it to the stuffing he had just chopped and began to season it.
A large pot of meat stuffing and lotus root foam was added. Zhang Yu made an estimate and began to add the seasonings in the private chat ratio. Salt, chicken essence, oyster sauce, etc., just use a spoon to scoop it into the stainless steel basin.
For convenience, these condiments have long been poured into stainless steel basins.
Don't be confused about what proportion of seasonings to add. Just add based on your feel, and you'll never go wrong.
After the seasonings were added, I looked at Li Xiaoyun sitting aside.
"Come, come here!" Zhang Yu called her.
Li Xiaoyun raised his head and looked at her, "What are you doing!"
"Find you a job." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"What kind of job?" Li Xiaoyun came over with a curious look on his face.
He handed her a pair of chopsticks, "Did you see it?" He pointed at the meat filling in the stainless steel basin, "Stir vigorously in this direction." Zhang Yu demonstrated.
"Do you understand?"
Li Xiaoyun became interested now, "I understand, let's take a look at mine."
After saying that, he searched for his cell phone, then took the chopsticks and quickly stirred them clockwise in the basin.
Zhang Yu saw it and smiled on his face.
Just wait until your hands get sore.
After bringing over the freshly blanched pork belly, Zhang Yu began to work on it, making braised pork belly with fermented bean curd.
When he made it before, he cooked the meat directly. But this would definitely not work at a banquet because it would take too much time.
First, use a toothpick to pierce the skin side, and then apply the bottled honey he bought on it. As for how many layers of honey this manufacturer produces, he doesn’t know.
After everything was applied, Zhang Yu started seasoning.
Holding a large stainless steel basin, Zhang Yu quickly prepared the seasonings needed for the fermented fermented pork.
Start cutting the meat.
Li Xiaoyun's speed had slowed down now, and he felt that his hand calculations were terrible. As soon as he changed his hand, he saw Zhang Yu quickly cutting a large piece of pork belly into slices.
"Uncle Zhang, your knife skills are pretty good!" Li Xiaoyun looked at the pork belly slices of similar thickness on the chopping board with a surprised look on his face.
"How dare you take your uncle's job without a diamond?" Zhang Yu pretended to be a showman.
Li Xiaoyun's eyes gleamed as he looked at it, "Wait a minute, I'll take a photo, and then you can do another trick."
How could Zhang Yu listen to her, "Okay, let's stir it up quickly, I'm not even excited yet." After taking a look at the meat she stirred, Zhang Yu secretly shook his head, he would have to do it later.
Chapter completed!
