Chapter 65 Fish and Cilantro
Autumn and Mid-Autumn Festival are over, and Mao Xi has canceled the mooncakes and number one set meal in the store, and is going to add three fish-flavored home-cooked dishes, including fish-flavored shredded pork, fish-flavored tofu and fish-flavored eggplant, and the snacks and fruits are replaced with yam. cake.
On the holiday day, she accepted Su Xuexue's invitation and took her younger siblings to Songjian Academy for lunch.
Xuexue Su said that she would make braised pork for everyone to eat today, and she also brought some seasonings and raw materials for cooking.
Mi Yuan and Nalan Jue were playing chess, and Mu Zhiyuan also came to the academy early and was helping Xuexue Su water vegetables in the field.
The younger sister Ajiao was licking the candied haws, and as soon as she entered the academy, she ran to Mr. Mi and asked for a hug.
Mi Yuan stopped playing chess and said to Mu Zhiyuan: "Amu, come here and continue playing chess for me. I will take the two children to the study to practice calligraphy."
Mu Zhiyuan was a little reluctant, but Mi Yuan was his teacher, so he could only step forward and sit on the stone bench to play chess with Nalan Jue.
"Prince Mu, do you remember when you studied in Beidu? You and I both studied under Yu Mi, maybe we were classmates." Nalan Jue said, and dropped a white stone on the chessboard.
"It's been so long, who remembers who your classmates are!" Mu Zhiyuan said angrily.
Master Miyuan brought Xiaodouzi and Ajiao to his study room and asked them to copy the copybooks and practice calligraphy. Xiaodouzi was serious and wrote stroke by stroke. Ajiao was quite naughty and actually drew animals on the paper with a brush.
Mi Yuan was also a good painter, so he taught Ah Jiao how to draw chickens and puppies. Ah Jiao was quite talented, and the chickens and puppies in his paintings were vivid.
Mi Lao asked her: "Ajiao, who is this little chicken and puppy?"
Ajiao laughed and said: "This puppy is my family's ingot. This one is not a chicken, it is the ostrich raised by my sister!"
"Ostrich?" Mi Yuan was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he felt that this was something Ma Xi would do.
Mao Xi brought a lemon seedling and planted it in the field for Xuexue Su. Then she ran to the kitchen and prepared lunch with Xuexue Su.
Xuexue Su is cooking his specialty: braised pork.
Mao Xi is preparing her ingredients. Today she is cooking three dishes related to bamboo shoots.
"Little girl, what are you going to cook today?" Su Ziguan asked.
"Back to school, I have prepared three dishes for you: fish-flavored shredded pork, autumn bamboo shoots and lion's head, and fresh bamboo shoots and winter melon soup."
"Young girl, you are very particular about these three dishes. Each one has fresh bamboo shoots."
"Yes, I am a scholar. Every dish here has fresh bamboo shoots. If I want to be particular about it, there is nothing special about it. The first dish is fish-flavored shredded pork, which is a home-cooked dish. Ordinary people can also make fish with simple ingredients. fragrance;
The second dish, the lion's head, is more complicated and is mostly eaten by wealthy families; while the third dish is more bland, with winter melon and fresh bamboo shoots stewed in clear pork rib soup.
The general implication is that it represents the ups and downs of life, from common people to rich people and then to ordinary life, all in these three bamboo shoots. "
Xuexue Su touched his beard and sighed: "Little girl, you are using a bamboo shoot as a metaphor for the three realms of life, hahaha!"
After Mao Xi finished speaking, he immersed himself in making "Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor":
Cut the pork tenderloin, carrots, bamboo shoots, green peppers, black fungus, and shiitake mushrooms into shreds; marinate the pork tenderloin shreds with salt, pepper, soy sauce, and water, add egg white, starch, and sesame oil to lock in the moisture of the shredded meat; add a spoonful of sugar, half a spoonful of Mix light soy sauce, two spoons of balsamic vinegar, half a spoon of cooking wine, one spoon of water and starch, and prepare the sauce in advance.
Boil water in a pot, blanch the shredded vegetables in water to remove the odor, then fry the shredded pork and take out the oil; use oil to sauté the minced ginger, garlic, and chopped pepper paste until fragrant, pour in all the ingredients, stir-fry, and add the sauce. Stir-fry until the juice is reduced and serve.
As soon as the fish-flavored shredded pork comes out of the pot, the aroma attracts everyone to the kitchen.
Xuexue Su was the first to try it with his chopsticks, and sighed: "There is no fish but the taste of fish. This dish is appetizing and can be eaten with rice!"
Xuexue Su and Mao Xi successively brought the remaining dishes to the dining table. In addition to braised pork, Xuexue Su also cooked Yong Tofu and braised fish.
The first dishes on the disc are braised pork and fish-flavored shredded pork.
Master Mi Yuan praised it without hesitation: "Little girl, how did you come up with this recipe of fish-flavored shredded pork?"
Mao Xi smiled modestly and said: "It's not a special way. I just used the remaining juice of braised fish to stir-fry one day, and suddenly I thought of it. Later, Liuxiang Snack Shop will also sell it, and there will be more fish. Fragrant eggplant and fish-flavored tofu are both delicious dishes to go with rice and wine, so remember to support them, master!"
After dinner, Mi Yuan gave Ajiao a set of paints and painting tools for painting, touched her head and said to Shu Xi: "This girl of yours is quite talented in painting, so I will give these to her." , if nothing happens, let her paint at home more."
"Thank you, Mr. Mi!" Shu Xi thanked Mr. Mi and Su Ziguan, and took his younger siblings back to Liuxiang Snacks first.
When Mu Zhiyuan saw her leaving, he also ran out.
"Nalan, how good do you think you can learn today's fish-flavored shredded pork dish?" Su Ziguan asked Nalan Jue.
"Pedant, this dish not only tests the heat, but the ratio of the seasonings is also amazing. You can actually taste the fish meat in the pork. I am not a talented student, so I can't figure it out. The peppers in the dish don't seem to be fresh peppers. But it has quite a flavor.”
"Hahaha! You still have a good mouth, you know the secret right away."
After Su Xuexue finished speaking, he took out the minced chili sauce that Ma Xi left just now and continued: "This is the minced chili sauce that Mao girl left for me. Look, with it we can make this dish by ourselves, right?" !”
The two food lovers entered the kitchen and started studying the fish-flavored shredded pork.
Outside Songjian Academy, Mu Zhiyuan caught up with Miao Xi.
"Ah Shao, why are you walking so fast and why don't you stay in the academy for a while?"
"I won't disturb Xue Zhi and their lunch break. Besides, there are many people in the store today. I'm afraid A Niang and the others won't be able to make it."
After lunch, Ajiao felt a little sleepy and asked for a hug. Mu Zhiyuan picked her up and when they arrived at Liuxiang Snack Shop, she had already fallen asleep.
After settling the two little guys in the store, Mao Xi started to get busy. Today was a holiday and new dishes were served, so there were many people in the store.
Uncharacteristically, Mu Zhiyuan ran into the shop to help cut vegetables. Mao Xi pushed him aside to rest and said, "Butler Wang will take you back later. Just take a good rest as soon as you recover! If you are busy later, hire someone else." How about you being a 'helping cook'?"
"Okay, then I can drink tea here!" After saying that, he ordered a pot of tea, ordered some fruits, and sat in the outer room with the diners, listening to Lou Lan'er's story.
Savage Valley, next to the ruins of the hermit's life.
The female assassin in black who stole the fish was sitting on the edge of the stone table, looking at the stone wall of the stream and thinking about brother.
She had cleaned the semi-open cave. After sitting quietly for a quarter of an hour, she explored the surroundings of Savage Valley, looking for clues left by her brother.
After traveling to the otherworld, she also saw the panda Huahua.
But this time when Huahua saw her, she was not as fierce as the last time the female assassin fought with Mu Zhiyuan. She ran to the female assassin and rolled her body coquettishly.
The female assassin patted its head and said lonelyly: "Do you miss my brother too?"
