NOVEL NEXT Chapter 169 Longjing Shrimp
Mao Xixin took a teapot and brewed the new Mingqian tea brought by Ranchen.
Drink a cup before dawn and suddenly feel the world is clear. Perfect with cherry preserves.
Mao Xi knew that Ranchen had researched on fragrances, so he asked her, "Miss Ranchen, have you heard that there is a kind of fragrance that can make people suffer from soullessness after smelling it?"
Ranchen usually carries some fragrant powder with her to protect herself, but it can only temporarily stun people. She has never come into contact with fragrant powder that can make people lose their consciousness.
"Miss Ah Miao, I'm afraid this kind of fragrance you are talking about is not an ordinary fragrance. I have never seen it before. I only know that there is a kind of mysterious fragrance that can make people lose their ability to resist instantly and cause them to lose their soul and amnesia. I am afraid that only people in the world can come into contact with it. .”
Mao Xi originally wanted Ranchen to help solve the mystery of her soul-disappearing disease, but seeing that the Tao Immortal no longer performed magic, she decided not to let Ranchen suffer from the soul-losing syndrome.
In the evening, Mao Xi left Ranchen behind to finish the meal, and she went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
Ranchen likes to eat light food, so Maoxi brought out some Longjing tea leaves and prepared to make a dish of "Longjing Shrimp", which she must like.
Brother Yu brought a lot of river shrimp today, wrapped in mountain and sea bags, and there are still some shrimps left.
Mao Xi cleaned the shrimps, peeled the shells and took out the shrimps.
Then sprinkle some salt, rice wine, oil, and dry starch, and mix well with both hands.
After catching it for three minutes, when it smells good, put the shrimp into water, wash it twice, take it out and dry it.
Then start marinating, pour ginger juice and egg white into the shrimp, continue to knead the shrimp, until the egg white completely coats each shrimp.
Catching shrimp requires patience. Mao Xi's hands can already feel that the shrimp glue and shrimp paste have completely fused together.
Pour in the cornstarch again, mix well and coat the shrimps in the batter.
Put the shrimps into the water and take them out when they are half cooked.
Then heat the oil to 30%, add the shrimps, take them out immediately after the oil is done, the shrimps have not shrunk at all.
The bright red shrimps are as attractive as jade.
Xiao Qing saw some brewed Longjing green tea placed next to the stove and asked, "Ah Xiao, these teas can also be used for cooking?"
"Yes, the tea leaves and tea juice will be stir-fried with the river shrimp later."
Put in another pot, add lard, add green tea leaves, shrimps, and salt and start stir-frying.
The aroma of tea floated out from the oil pan, it was the smell of Jiangnan after the rain.
Then, Mao Xi poured two more spoonfuls of tea that had been brewed in advance into the pot and stir-fried them with the shrimps.
The green tea juice is slowly concentrated, and the juice is collected and served on a plate.
At the dinner table, Yaomei and Xiaoqing had already cooked several home-cooked dishes and were waiting for Mao Xi's new dish to be served.
As the fragrance of tea wafts, Longjing shrimps are served.
Mao Xi asked Ranchen to taste it first: "Miss Ranchen, try this dish, Longjing shrimps, stir-fried with Longjing tea leaves and river shrimps. It's light and not greasy."
Ranchen picked up a shrimp and tasted it.
I just felt that the shrimp meat was smooth and tender, not old at all, and there was still a faint fragrance of green tea left on my lips and teeth.
"This dish is innovative. It not only tastes the deliciousness of river fresh food, but also has the freshness of green tea in the mountains. It is not greasy and not greasy. It is red and green and is pleasing to the eye. Ah Shu, you are so amazing. I have never tasted something like this. Delicious river shrimp.”
Ranchen praised her, and Mao Xi was happy when she heard it. She wanted to drink and asked, "Would you like some glutinous rice wine? It goes well with these shrimps."
Dajiang went directly to the kitchen to get a pot of glutinous rice wine, and everyone started drinking and eating shrimps together.
Smelling the sweet aroma of glutinous rice wine, Ajiao also wanted to drink it. Mao Xi found an excuse and used juice instead of rice wine, so Ajiao gave up.
At the midnight snack stall, Ma Boluo and Nalan Jue also came to the shop, and they seemed to be discussing the idea of opening a drink shop.
Nalan Jue saw the name of Longjing Shrimp on the food label and found it quite novel, so she asked: "Miss Ah Shu, how can you stir-fry this shrimp with tea?"
Nalan Jue is a gourmet, but he has never eaten Longjing shrimp? Mao Xi stepped forward to introduce this dish to her.
"Mr. Nalan, this is stir-fried with Longjing green tea and fresh river shrimp. Would you like some rice wine with it?"
Unable to resist his curiosity, Mr. Nalan ordered one shrimp and one rice wine.
Ma Boluo and Mr. Nalan tasted this new dish together.
Nalan Jue put the shrimp into his mouth and felt that the tea and shrimp meat were perfectly blended.
The shrimp meat is as white as jade, with a fresh and tender texture, and the Longjing tea leaves are fragrant and elegant.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Wonderful, there are shrimps in tea, and the fragrance of tea is in shrimps!"
Mao Xi thought to herself: Of course, this is a traditional Hangzhou dish. I was lucky enough to eat it when I was traveling before time travel. It cost me 198 oceans at that time. It must be delicious!
Ma Boluo sighed: "I have never eaten vegetables stir-fried with tea. I only knew that people in the Huai Kingdom must drink tea every day. I never thought about the tea leaves. You really make the best use of them!"
Mao Xi liked to see Ma Boluo, a foreigner, looking confused and inexperienced in the world.
She smiled and said: "Mr. Mabolo, in fact, not only tea, we also fry flowers and eat them. The bark can be used to make spices, the roots can be used to stew soup, and the fruits can also be used to stir-fry. Come and eat more often." You can taste the food.”
Ma Boluo was dubious: "Seriously?"
Mao Xi nodded fiercely and started to talk about the treasures: "We will fry pumpkin flowers and banana flowers, cinnamon can be used as marinade, five-finger peach can be stewed with pig's feet, and pineapple can be used to make pineapple sweet and sour pork."
Ma Boluo drank some wine and said with a hearty smile: "Haha, it seems that my decision to stay in Lihua Town was correct. Miss Ah Miao, you have to add these dishes to the food list. I want it even more when you tell me about it." Taste it.”
Nalan Jue clinked glasses with Marble and asked, "Well, Mr. Marble, as I said before, I want to open a coffee shop here. Are you willing to stay and show me the shop?"
Ma Bo Luo: "Hmm..."
Nalan Jue: "In the future, you can take the Xing Jue when it sails across the ocean, and you can travel for free."
Marlboro: "Deal!"
Nalan Jue had already heard that Shu Xi opened a sweet shop in Kaitang County, selling coffee and various drinks: "Miss Ah Shu, how is the business of the sweet shop you opened in Kaitang County? I've been busy these two days. I didn’t even go to cheer you up.”
Mao Xi's heart sank, and she said slightly worriedly: "The sugar water shop has just opened. Recently, some kind of peach fairy came to Kaitang County. The people went to the suburbs to worship him. There were only so many people in the morning when the shop just opened."
"Peach Fairy? But the one who delivers cherry juice to the people?"
"Exactly, Mr. Nalan, have you heard about it too?"
Mr. Nalan thought thoughtfully: "The teachings of the Sakura Worship Cult have spread to Lihua Town. It seems that my coffee shop will have to wait for a while before opening."
If it is true as Mao Xi said, then now is not the time to open a drinking shop in Kaitang County.
Nalan Jue, who was always shrewd in his work, discussed with Ma Polo and went to his coffee workshop to sell coffee beans.
