I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 16

"You only put the wine in once, and it evaporated during the frying process. How could there be wine aroma in this meat?" Wang De frowned. From the beginning to the end, he had a panoramic view of Yu Jian's every move. .

No, there must be something missing...

Wang De's face was gloomy and frightening, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes watching Yu Jian were as sharp as vultures.

"Little girl, how did you do it?" Wang De asked unwillingly.

Yu Jian laughed quietly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Chef Wang, how does my fried pork with sauce compare to yours?"

Just ask if you accept it or not? !
"Hmph! I think you were just lucky..." Of course he was not convinced, thinking that Wang De's name was well-known in the capital anyway, how could he bow his head to a yellow-haired girl.

Yu Jian had expected him to act like this, so she didn't force her, she just pushed the plate forward, and greeted the others in the kitchen: "Everyone, come and try."

The little disciples had long been seduced by the fragrance so much that their mouths were drooling, and regardless of Wang De's unhappy face, they rushed forward and put it in their mouths.

The surface of the meat is still a little crispy, and when you bite down, the juice in the meat seam is rich like soup, full of umami.

The little apprentices couldn't tell the difference, they just felt that the one in their mouths was better than Chef Wang's, and the eyes that glanced at Wang De had a different taste.

"Eat, eat, eat! You just know how to eat! Get out of here and go to work!" Wang De finally broke out in anger, and slapped the table with his palm. The loud sound scared several people to run around.

This is the effect she wants!
Satisfied, Yu Jian walked up to her father, and Yu Yuan threw herself into her arms full of admiration, holding her face and kissing her constantly.

"Yu Yuan! You slobbered my sister's face!" Yu's father pretended to be angry and slapped his butt lightly, but his face couldn't stop smiling.

I believe that it won't be long before the news of Wang De defeating his daughter will spread throughout Jinfulou.

This girl of his is not only top-notch in craftsmanship, but this move can kill people and kill her heart, and she can also fly away.

After Wang De's self-esteem was frustrated, Yu's father was in a good mood. The traffic jam all the way did not affect his good mood, and he even hummed a little song.

Yu Jian turned her head and saw Yu Yuan staring at her with wide eyes and a smile.He pinched the little guy's nose and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Yu Yuan felt that her sister was even better than Xi Yangyang, and defeated the bad uncle without any effort: "Sister, can I learn how to cook from you too?"

"Learning to cook is tiring! Your little wrist can't handle a kitchen knife."

Yu Yuan persisted and continued: "I'm not afraid. I'm small now, so of course I can't carry it. Can you wait until I'm older..."

This clear thinking made Yu Jian look at him with admiration. How could he be a child who was only six years old?

"Anyway, I will definitely be stronger than Yu Jianguo in the future!" Yu Yuan didn't know what he was looking forward to, but he started to speak wildly.

Father Yu was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, and scolded with a smile: "You brat, you're also named after me?"

Suddenly thought of something, while waiting for the red light, Father Yu turned his head to his daughter: "Ah Jian, how on earth did you make the diced meat taste like wine?"

Yu Jian pondered for a moment, then slowly replied: "Father, have you ever heard of the word 'case care'?"

what is that?Father Yu's eyes were darkened, and he shook his head, what kind of esoteric words?

The method of "case caressing" was figured out by Li Yuanxi's master from ancient books.After dissolving the wine in the palm of your hand, with a special technique, let it soak in the texture of the meat.Then scrape with a knife to loosen the meat and completely wrap the wine in it.

There were many literati and poets in the Tang Dynasty, and they preferred to drink alcohol. The fish and meat cooked in this way often exude a strong alcohol smell, which can be regarded as catering to the market demand at that time.

Father Yu was amazed when he heard it, and couldn't help but marvel at the infinite wisdom of the ancients, and asked Yu Jian how he learned about it.

Yu Jian only said that she had read this novel by accident, and thought about it for a while, but it really succeeded.

……

Mother Yu had been looking forward to her daughter's arrival for a long time, and made countless phone calls along the way. When she really saw Yu Jian standing at the door, she felt timid again.

It was Yu Jian who stepped forward first and gave her a big hug.Mother Yu's already restless heart became even more turbulent, and she began to cry while holding her daughter, with a little guilt in her gentle eyes.

"Okay! Why are you crying when your daughter is here? Don't be afraid of being laughed at by others!" Father Yu couldn't stand it any longer, and acted like a good boy when he got a bargain. His daughter didn't even give him a hug!
"I just feel sorry for my daughter, who dares to laugh at me?!" Mother Yu was not polite to him at all, and immediately retorted.

Yu Yuan also chimed in: "That's right, that's right, who dares to laugh at my mother!"

This dog-legged appearance made Yu's mother burst into laughter, and the atmosphere of the family became hotter.

"Sister, sister—can you make me the milk cake I ate last time?" Yu Yuan sneaked up to Yu Jian and made a small request.

Ever since he returned to the capital, every time he thinks of his sister, he thinks of the taste of golden soufflé, and then he misses his sister even more strongly.

The single-cage golden soufflé is a bit boring to eat in summer, Yu Jian thought about it, and decided to make him a fresh meal to satisfy his cravings.

"Ah Jian, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Mother Yu saw Yu Jian wearing an apron as soon as she came out of the bathroom, and then looked at Yu Yuan who was following behind her buttocks. She didn't understand what happened, so she immediately took a feather duster , without further ado, he slapped his ass, "It's you again! Your sister just came here, so you let her cook for you! See if I don't beat you—"

The room was instantly buzzing, and it was so lively.

Yu Jian recalled that when he was in Chang'an City, it was also such a summer, it was so hot that he didn't even bother to make a sound.Several decrees came from the palace, saying that the nobles couldn't eat.

She racked her brains and finally made a dish of white jade cold cheese, and only then did she reluctantly pay the job.Later, during the hottest summer season, cold porridge began to be eaten in Chang'an City.

The almonds were brought over by Yu Jian from Rao Township. They were ground early and made into smooth almond milk, which was then filtered with fine gauze. At this moment, it was silky smooth without any grains.

Heat the almond milk in a pot, cook until the surface is slightly wrinkled, and when a thin layer floats on the surface, add the pre-cooked highland barley.

Yu Jian steadily stirred the spoon in her hand, allowing the sticky highland barley grains to completely blend with the almond milk. This process requires a lot of patience, but in Yu Jian's view, cooking is a healing process. process.

The almond milk in the pot thickened little by little, and gradually, the texture became creamy.She thought of the experiments she had done thousands of times, of being drenched in sweat in the dining room of Guanglu Temple, and of the distressed eyes of her master.

Yu Jian took a deep breath, recovered from his thoughts, turned off the fire, and put the whole pot into cold water to cool it down.

"Sister, are you ready?" Yu Yuan's small head came in through the half-open kitchen door, looking at him eagerly.

Yu Jian smiled sweetly, leaned forward and touched his little head: "It's almost ready..."
