Chapter 174 An Indelible Homesickness
As soon as 4 o'clock in the morning, the mobile phone next to the pillow rang the wake-up alarm clock "The Dynasty of the Town Guard". In the midst of the cheerful chorus of dawn, ring, thunder, and electricity of the Sixth Expulsion Team, the velvet blanket on the bed squirmed, stretched out a strong arm to grab the phone, and pressed the stop button. As soon as the velvet blanket was lifted, Jiang Yunfeng's sturdy body was exposed to the cold dawn of late autumn.
After washing up in the bathroom, he came out and bumped into Tian Sumi, Jiang Yunfeng smiled and said, "Xiaohui, why don't you sleep more, there's no need to get up so early." ”
Tian Suhui shook his head and replied with a smile, "I heard Jiang Jun say last night that he would start preparing during this time period, and I think it must be a lot of work, so I also want to help." ”
"Hehe, what a diligent and virtuous girl, she will definitely be a perfect bride in the future. Why didn't Chuangzhen notice it? Jiang Yunfeng smiled and rubbed Tian Shuhui's hair.
"Virtuous ... The bride or something... Chuangzhenjun... Jiang Jun, don't talk nonsense. ”
"Hehe, I know, I know. Xiaohui hurry up and prepare, I'm waiting for you in the kitchen, there is still a lot of work ahead. ”
Jiang Yunfeng felt the kitchen quickly, turned off the intelligent system, and switched to the manual mode. Remove the lid of the soup pot, after a long time of boiling, the beef and sheep bones release the collagen, the soup has shown a beautiful milky white, and take out the stirring fan blades that are put in to prevent the bone collagen from precipitating in the pot. Pick up the big colander and salvage all the beef and sheep bones in the soup pot to ensure that there is no bone residue left.
At this time, Megumi Tado, who had changed into a chef's uniform, also came to the kitchen. Jiang Yunfeng took out all the bones that had been boiled out and discarded them, turned back to Tian Suohui and said, "Xiaohui, hurry up and help me make noodles." Mix soba, soybean flour, and gluten flour 3:2:5 and form a large dough. ”
"Okay." When Tian Shouhui heard this, he began to match according to the proportion. Jiang Yunfeng carefully salvaged the whole pot of soup with several colanders of different sizes of holes in a row, not letting go of any corner, and only after making sure that there was no dregs did he find out the bag of medicinal herbs that he brought back last night, and beat a total of more than 30 medicinal materials such as star anise, cumin, Dahongpao pepper, cinnamon, good ginger, dried ginger, grass fruit, jade fruit, white button, sand kernel, cloves, black pepper, white pepper, kaempfer, long pepper, etc., all into extremely fine powder with a blender. Mix in a certain proportion and pour into a soup pot.
The original milky white bone broth turned gray-brown in an instant, revealing a dark red, and it also exuded a unique fragrance of Chinese herbal medicine. "Hmmm! It's so fragrant, this fragrance is really refreshing! Kohei Chuangzhen rubbed the back of his head and walked into the kitchen, thought for a while and asked, "Ah Feng, didn't I go with you to the medicinal herbs in the main house last night?" Why do I sleep in the walk into the room and what the hell is going on? ”
Jiang Yunfeng, who was stirring the soup pot, smiled awkwardly, thought about it and replied, "Have you forgotten?" Last night you finally ate chicken and said you were tired, so let me go alone. You go back to your room and rest. ”
"Really? But why does the back of my head hurt so much? ”
"Oops, don't worry about the details! Chuangzhen, aren't you planning to make raw fried today? It's almost 5 o'clock now, so don't hurry up. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch up with the early time. ”
"Ah, it's all this time period, hurry, hurry!" Kohei Soma was decisive and didn't waste his energy on these little things, and immediately changed his state and threw himself into the production of raw frying. Tian Suohui came to Jiang Yunfeng with a large basin of dough and said, "Jiang Jun, I have prepared the dough you wanted." ”
"Thank you." Jiang Yunfeng took the big basin and said, "Xiaohui, this side has been largely completed, and I can handle the rest by myself." You go and help Chuangzhen, or he won't be able to make it to breakfast. ”
"Okay, then Jiang Jun, you can come on." Megumi Tansho smiled sweetly, turned around and ran to Kohei Soma. Looking at this match made in heaven, Jiang Yunfeng smiled. Turn around and pour water into the basin and knead the soaked dough vigorously. The released starch made the water turbid and sticky, the first facial cleansing water was carefully filtered out by Jiang Yunfeng, and then water was added to continue kneading the dough, after more than a dozen times in a row, the facial cleansing water also became crystal clear, and the original huge dough also shrank a lot, turning into sticky and flexible gluten.
Jiang Yunfeng took the gluten out of the basin, threw it on the table, pressed it into a cake shape with both hands and threw it into the Hu spicy soup pot, took it out after cooking, changed the knife and cut it into a small diamond shape and poured it back into the soup pot, and then added the beef, vermicelli, daylily, and black fungus that had been prepared on the side.
After all the ingredients were stirred in the pot, Jiang Yunfeng took a deep breath and jumped on the spot a few times to move his limbs. Next will be the most crucial step in determining the success or failure of the whole pot of spicy soup - thickening. Holding the soup spoon in his right hand and stirring clockwise, he holds a large bowl in his left hand and scoops out a bowl of facial water from the large basin next to him and slowly pours it into the soup pot. After connecting to five bowls of noodles, the gray-brown and dark red spicy soup began to thicken. But it was still a little short of the finished product in his mind, and Jiang Yunfeng scooped up the sixth bowl of facial cleanser. Little by little, it dripped into the soup pot, and when I saw that the surface of the spicy soup began to reflect, I immediately stopped moving my hands. Put the big bowl down, scoop a big spoonful of the soup spoon in your right hand, and raise it to let the spicy soup fall slowly. The soup has good fluidity, moderate thinness, and the amount of facial wash is just right.
Jiang Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction, covered the finished Hu spicy soup, and kept warm over low heat. Then I went to the other side to check out the steamed cakes that had been steamed all night. Uncovering the moist gauze covering the wooden barrel, the red dates that had been piled up on the surface of the rice have long since melted into jujube paste. Turn off the gas, take the four buckets of retort cake away from the furnace, Jiang Yunfeng uncovered the gauze of the other three buckets, poured a pound of white sugar on each bucket, and poured hot water to melt the sugar. Under the action of gravity, the sugar water will slowly spread down to the entire wooden barrel, causing everything inside the barrel to be stained with this intoxicating sweetness.
Putting the wooden barrel back to the stove and covering it with gauze to keep it warm, Jiang Yunfeng picked up the rice spoon, scooped out a few spoonfuls of retort cake, put it in a small bowl and served it to Kohei Chuangzhen and Tian Soke, and said with a smile, "Eat some breakfast first, see if this sweetness is enough?" ”
Kohei Sozane put down the meat filling in his hand, took the small bowl, looked at the rice cake dyed with jujube red in the bowl, and asked, "What is this, rice cake?" It looks delicious. ”
This is called retort (zeng) cake, which is a traditional snack unique to Xi'an and Guanzhong areas of Shaanxi Province, China, also known as crystal dragon and phoenix cake. Back then, it was a tribute to the Qing Palace. The main raw materials are glutinous rice, red dates, and kidney beans that are steamed for a long time. Okay, hurry up and taste how it tastes, it's not sweet enough for me to add sugar. ”
Megumi Tasho scooped up a spoonful and put it in her small mouth and said, "It's delicious!" The red dates are so crispy, and the glutinous rice cakes also penetrate the sweetness of the red dates. and the kidney beans in the sandwich are also steamed very soft and glutinous. The sweetness was just right. ”
"What do you think, Sojin?"
Kohei Soma, whose mouth was stuffed with retort cakes, took time out of his busy schedule and nodded.
"Then it's decided." Jiang Yunfeng scooped a bowl of spicy soup and tasted it himself. The strong peppery smell made him can't help but sneeze a few times. rubbed his pantothenic nose, and the hot spicy soup went down to his stomach, warming his cold spleen and stomach. Even my nose has been a little stuffy since I got up in the morning, and my whole body is very comfortable.
The east was flushed with fish belly, and the three of them worked together to carry the prepared food onto the small cart. Get ready to head out towards Chuo. This is someone shouting from behind. The three of them turned around and saw the Great Mido Fumio holding the newspaper of yesterday's [Moon Festival]. Pointing to the rankings, he said, "This afternoon, I want to see you in the first place, or you won't come back!" ”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and replied in unison, "Mrs. Wenxu, it's still too late to start preparing for the celebration banquet." ”
"Hehe, stinky boys, get out of here!"
--------------------------------------- dividing line---------------------------------
Since the store of Kohei Chuangzhen Bar has a name of 'Chinese flavor', it is indispensable to shout and shout for the signboard. As a 'store manager', Kohei Sojin naturally won't do this kind of thing, and Megumi Tadoko is embarrassed to be thin-skinned. Naturally, it fell on Jiang Yunfeng, whose skin was thicker than Jiayuguan. Tapping the huge raw frying pan with a tong, Jiang Yunfeng opened his voice and imitated the Shandong accent and shouted, "Fellow countryman sees fellow countryman, tears are in his eyes." The big brothers and sisters who passed by, didn't miss it. Authentic Shandong Lijin fried buns, beef pot stickers, delicious and inexpensive, as long as a 'plum'. ”
The people in line were all Japanese, although they couldn't understand what Jiang Yunfeng said for a long time. But the sharp speed of speech and the well-placed facial expressions caused a burst of laughter from the tourists present. The three of them quickly presented food for the tourists, Jiang Yunfeng's clip quickly picked up a few fried meat buns and beef potstickers and put them into a small bowl, handed them to the tourists in front of them, pointed to the side and took the spicy soup, and said with a smile, "This guest, do you want a bowl?" Hu spicy soup with beef potstickers, delicious and needs no explanation. ”
The tourist glanced at the pot of grayish-brown and dark red spicy soup, shook his head with a smile, picked up the fried buns and potstickers and left the line, walked to the bench behind the stall and sat down to eat. Although it has been just over two hours since the tourists started to enter at 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., the meal tickets on the table have been piled up in a thick pile, which is on par with the 'Kuga Hotel' opposite. Raw fried buns and potstickers were sold in two large pots, and the retort cake was not sold in a single bucket. However, the tourists were not very interested in the pot, which exuded the fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine and the viscous soup with a strange color, so not a single bowl has been sold until now.
Handing the cake and fried rice in his hand to the tourists in front of him, when Jiang Yunfeng was a little disheartened, a thick Henan mouth sounded, "Can you give me another bowl of Hu spicy soup?" ”。。。
