Chapter 131 Giant Panda Treatment

"Be careful, don't move around, I'll make you some tea."

After staying in the hospital for observation for a day, the "blind man" Qiyuan Takeshi finally returned home. "Eyes" Kiyoshi Liuli carefully took his hand, led him to the small square table, and immediately ran to the kitchen to boil water and make tea——Qihara Takeshi Ken stayed in the hospital for two more days to observe, but he disliked the bad food and water quality there.

"Sure enough, it's still comfortable at home!" Takeshi Qiyuan stretched his waist, of course he didn't sit still, turned around and went to the second floor, and when he came down again, the gauze around his head had been taken off, and he put on a pair of sunglasses.

Well, the gauze wrapped around his forehead is uncomfortable. He has long wanted to change it, but temporary blindness is not complete blindness. He still has a sense of disordered light. He still needs something to block the light, otherwise he will have to keep his eyes closed, let alone Comfortable.

Qing was startled when Liuli came out after brewing tea, and said unhappily, "Why are you running around, what if you fall and get injured!"

Qiyuan Wu didn't care and said: "This is my house. I remember exactly where there is and how many steps there are. What are you afraid of?"

"That's what you said, you should be more careful." Qingjian Liuli poured tea for him cautiously, allowing him to enjoy the giant panda treatment.

The giant panda in Qiyuan picked up the tea bowl, smelled it first, then took a sip and groaned in satisfaction, and hadn't been home for almost two days, Qing saw that Liuli couldn't sit and drink tea properly, Quickly get up to remove the dust again, otherwise some dog will complain later.

While dragging the vacuum cleaner around the living room, she asked curiously, "What does it feel like to be blind?"

"True blindness is definitely not a good thing. In the future, blind people will ask me for help. I will give them a [-]% discount, but I only talk about short-term blindness. After anxiety, there is a sense of peace of mind. When the eyes are blind, it is easier to examine one's heart. As a result, my views on many things have changed." Qi Yuanwu sipped his tea and pondered, "It's hard to say, it's a feeling that's hard to describe in words, and it's the first time I've encountered such a thing."

Qing saw that Liuli made up for the feeling, but didn't make it up, and continued to dust off his hands, while Qiyuan Wu drank tea for a while, got up and staggered into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and began to rummage, taking out ingredients from time to time to smell.

Qing Jian Liuli quickly put down the work at hand, ran into the kitchen and said, "What are you doing? You should sit down!"

After not going home for a day, Qiyuan Takezheng reclassified the ingredients and said casually: "The food in the hospital is terrible, I haven't eaten well all day, and it's past four o'clock now, I have to think about what to eat for dinner."

Oh, I'm hungry, it's normal, this guy is quite picky, the nutritious meals in the hospital are obviously delicious, this guy only eats a little bit every time.

Seeing Liuli wash her hands immediately, she asked, "What do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

"You?" Takeshi Qiyuan tilted his head, his expression uncertain.

"I've been studying for more than a month, so it shouldn't be a problem... right?" Qing Jian Liuli wasn't very confident, but Qi Yuanwu couldn't go blind and still cook.

"What's the use of more than a month, put it in a serious restaurant, and wash the radish at the door for more than a month, and can't even enter the kitchen door." Qi Yuanwu continued to rummaging through the ingredients, obviously not trusting her, "I said it before, Blindness doesn't affect my normal life, and you don't actually have to take care of me."

"I must take care of you, and I can't leave you alone." Qing Jian Liuli muttered, "You still have to cook without seeing, if you burn your hands or accidentally knock over the oil pan, how dangerous it is, I'll do it Well, at most you can direct me by the side."

"You really want to do this?" Takeshi Qiyuan confirmed, "Don't force it, you really don't have to worry about me."

"Don't be brave. During this period of time, you should take a good rest and tell me to do anything." Qing Jian Liuli was willing to work hard and prepared to be a giant panda breeder for six weeks. Which giant panda is Qiyuanwu? Chow Chow makeup.

Takeshi Qiyuan looked at you as if you really had no choice, and sighed: "Okay, then you can come, but your level... Don't even think about difficult dishes, I will guide you to cook some simple dishes , it just so happens that you take this opportunity to further improve your cooking skills and strive to become a qualified assistant as soon as possible."

"Understood, I'm still so long-winded when I'm blind." Qingjian Liuli muttered unhappily, and then looked into the refrigerator, a little excited for the first time being alone, "What do you want to eat?"

"Seafood and seafood are the best choices if you want to operate like a fool, and it's May, so let's have wine and steamed clams tonight." Qiyuan Wu thought for a while, pulled a piece of kitchen paper, and wrote a Address, "Go to this store to buy sand clams, buy more, just say that I want it, and let him keep the account."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Qingjian Liuli looked at the address and immediately set off to buy fresh ingredients.

After she left, Qiyuan Wu took off his sunglasses, rubbed his eyes, and went back to the living room to drink tea. The seafood shop in the commercial street was not far away. After more than ten minutes, Qing Jian Liuli came back with a large bag of sand clams. Khan said: "I bought it back, the boss is very nice, I specially picked it for you, and they are all very big."

Qiyuan Wu got up and smelled it, picked up another sand clam, squeezed it, nodded and said: "The quality is indeed good, I am inconvenient at this time, and I will leave the job of purchasing ingredients to you in the future."

"Don't worry, just leave it to me." Seeing Liuli carrying the sand clam into the kitchen, Qing asked curiously, "What should I do next?"

"First wash the sand clams. Come on, wash the rice and cook the rice first. Add some sesame oil and salt to the rice washing water. It is best to soak the sand clams." Qi Yuanwu stood there and directed Qing Jian Liuli to work. This is For the effect he wants in the end, he only needs to talk about family matters.Not even half tired.

Qingjian Liuli has been doing odd jobs for more than a month, and she has a little bit of basic skills. She quickly cooked the rice and soaked the sand clams.Takeshi Qiyuan directed her to heat up the pot again, sauté the garlic with a little bit of oil, add clams, rice wine for cooking and fermented butter, then cover the pot and simmer over high heat.

These operations are very simple, seeing that Liuli completed it without any difficulty, Qing asked strangely, "Is this enough?"

Qi Yuanwu nodded and said: "Yes, that's all right. The juice from the sand clam will form steam, and you can steam it yourself. When the sand clam opens its mouth, it will come out of the pot."

Qing Jian Liuli couldn't help sighing, "What a simple dish!"

"It's really simple, and it's suitable for you to use two knives step by step." Qiyuan Wu smiled and said, "There are only three core elements, clams, wine and garlic. Sand clams used for clams have a richer and unique flavor. You can also try others in the future. Some clams, such as sandy white, sixtieth, clams, etc., can be used in this way.

The wine and ingredients can also be changed. If you use garlic, butter and rice wine, the flavor will be more Japanese-French style, with rice aroma, and the taste will be more clam juice; if you use garlic, olive oil and white wine, the flavor will be more Italian. This style has a strong fruity aroma, but the taste is slightly sweet and sour; if garlic, lard and flower carving are used, the flavor will be more Chinese, sweet and salty, and the taste will be more complex and changeable. "

After a pause, he added, "Personally, I prefer the Chinese style, but you can't drink alcohol. The dish with Huadiao and wine will contain slightly alcohol, so we can only choose rice wine for cooking."

Oh, it turned out to be a simple dish with so many details!
Seeing that Liuli has gained knowledge again, Qingjian kept these practices in mind, and after Qiyuan Wu said these few words, the steam boiled, and the clams opened their mouths one after another. He immediately directed Qingjian Liuli to turn the fire down, and said: "That's enough. A basic wine-steamed clam has been completed and can be eaten now, but it can only satisfy the taste of ordinary people. If we want to deal with old diners, we can fine-tune its flavor wheel."

Seeing that Liuli was about to be served on a plate, Qing asked strangely, "What is a flavor wheel?"

Although Qiyuanwu used Qingjian Liuli as a coolie, he did not hide his secrets when teaching her. This is actually her real "salary". She asked her to take a sand clam from a small dish and taste it, and she tasted it herself. One said while tasting: "Just like now, the taste is composed of multiple flavors, the most prominent sweetness comes from the sand clam itself, which is a unique umami taste of seafood and river seafood, accounting for about 50% of the total taste;

The second is garlic, which comes from stir-fried garlic slices; alongside the garlic is the seawater saltiness, which also comes from sand clams, because of this seawater saltiness, this dish does not need to add salt or only needs a little salt, and The two account for about 30% of the total taste;

The third is ester aroma, rice fat aroma and oil fermented aroma, which come from cooking wine and butter respectively, accounting for about 15%; finally, there are more subtle flavors, such as nutty, cucumber, seaweed and wine sweetness, They come from sand clam itself and cooking wine respectively, accounting for about 5%.

These flavors are mixed together in different proportions, which is the unique flavor wheel of this dish, forming its unique taste. "

Qing Jian Liuli listened to his words, and also savored the basic style of steamed clams with wine, her eyes narrowed slowly.

Strange, apart from being delicious, why didn't I taste so much?

It does have the freshness and sweetness of seafood, and there is also a bit of garlic and saltiness. Where is the other flavor?Or a wheel?Didn't I eat the same dish with him?

But in order not to look too stupid, she tasted it for a while, and suddenly realized: "So this is the flavor wheel, I understand!"

Qiyuan Wu nodded, took another sip of the soup, and said in a deep thought: "It's good to understand, as far as this dish is concerned, I personally think that the overall fresh and sweet taste is too thick, which is not suitable. We should find a way to balance it." .”

Qing Jian Liuli immediately said: "Okay, then how should we balance?"

"The most common method is to add herbs." Takeshi Qiyuan taught patiently and persuasively, "What kind of herbs do you think should be used to balance the taste of this dish in its current state?"

"Uh..." Qingjian Liuli thought for a while, then carefully probed, "How about the coriander?"

"Coriander is not good." Qiyuan Wu immediately objected, "Coriander has a warm and fragrant tone, which is thick and dull in itself. For the current heavy flavor wheel, there is almost no balance or improvement effect. You need to think again."

"What about the shallots?"

"No."

"How about the chili?"

"It's for you to fine-tune, not for you to destroy."

Continuing to guess incorrectly made Qing Jian Liuli pouting a little unhappy, thinking that this guy is really good at work, already delicious, wouldn't it be over if he just sprinkled coriander?If you don’t want to eat coriander, just say it, why don’t you ask around!
She gave up on herself and said: "I don't know, it's delicious now, I don't know what else to add!"

Takeshi Qiyuan was also very disappointed, and sighed: "Add some basil, basil is highly volatile, and the pungent, clove, fennel and herbal aromas are bright and fresh, which is suitable for balancing the heavy flavor wheel of this dish. Adding or not adding are two dishes, and you really don’t want to use your brain at all, you can only watch other people’s recipes for the rest of your life. Improvements are enough, let alone innovation. The life of a second-rate cook."

"Tch, throw some basil and talk so much nonsense." Seeing that Liuli was very dissatisfied, Qing muttered to find basil, and threw some in.

What happened to the second-rate cook?Don't you have to rely on second-rate cooks to eat now? I'm sorry that you go back to the hospital to eat nutritious meals!
What a fine job, others are serving you with all their heart, and you still talk like this.

When your eyes are healed, I will punch you to death!

Seeing that Liuli took good care of him with good intentions, he was very upset that he still had so many shits, so he continued to scold him in his heart, took a large plate of wine-steamed clams back to the living room with him, took tableware, served rice, and followed Qiyuanwu's request After taking some pickled side dishes and a pot of tea, I sat down at the small square table and said angrily, "Eat!"

Qiyuan Wu didn't care about her, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the clams without her help, sucking the meat and soup into his mouth, and sighed again: "It's not delicious, it's too old."

It's not that you have been nagging, can it be cooked?

Seeing that Liuli didn't bother to pay attention to him, she tasted it on her own, and snorted a little.

Put your ass off, second-rate cook, it’s so delicious, it’s enough to sell it at a restaurant, but what this kid said seems to make sense, after adding basil, the taste suddenly becomes refreshing, and it’s slightly spicy and fragrant, Let the original umami taste of the clams come alive, which is much better than the basic model.

She hesitated for a moment, feeling that she couldn't just be angry, she should learn how to use vanilla ingredients, and hummed: "You have so many things to do, hurry up and eat well, I will do better next time. Tell me now, What kind of herbs should be used for what kind of cooking... um, what are herbs?"

Takeshi Qiyuan didn't stop eating, it was better than the hospital's nutritious meal, and he was willing to teach her, while eating, he said: "Herb ingredients are herbs and spices, there is no obvious difference between the two, it just depends on how to use them in cooking When the spice is used, it is to make it the internal and basic flavor of the dish, with stable characteristics, and when it is added at the end of the cooking, it is vanilla, which acts as an external and decorative flavor to balance, Rich flavor wheel."

After a pause, he seemed to feel that Qingjian Liuli didn't understand very well, and gave an example, "For example, in the wine steamed clams we are eating now, garlic is used as a spice, but if we make white-cut meat, it will be cooked in white-cut meat." After the meat is ready, sprinkle a little garlic paste, which is to give play to the 'vanilla' property of garlic, pursue its instant spicy aroma, and stimulate appetite."

Qing Jian Liuli suddenly realized: "So it's so divided, and the green onions are similar? Last time you made fried sea cucumbers with green onions, green onions are spices? When you made big meatballs with sauce, you sprinkled a little chopped green onion after it was out of the pot. For vanilla?"

"Basically, shallots are vanilla ingredients, with a neutral to mild flavor and a wide range of applicability. They are more suitable for adorning sauce-flavored dishes." Qi Yuanwu felt that her example was not very appropriate. After all, some sea cucumbers with fried scallions only eat scallions. Yes, whether it is a spice or not is another matter, but the basic meaning is correct.

Qing Jian Liuli scooped up the soup and poured it on the rice, and quickly picked up the rice, feeling that she had learned something again. Is it so much about cooking casually?She said vaguely: "Tell me more about what kind of herbs should be used in any kind of cooking."

Takeshi Qiyuan just talked about it casually, and it was a big list, from nutmeg to 88 categories of onions, but he stopped talking, tilted his head and listened, and said dissatisfiedly, "Do you think I Don’t you know how many bowls of rice you eat if you’re blind?”

Cut, the dog ears are really good!

Qing Jian Liuli regretfully put down the spoon for the rice, and was going to go back and buy a bigger bowl by herself. This kind of small bowl always feels not enough to eat, and it will be gone after three or five mouthfuls, and even good food is uncomfortable.

…………

Dinner time passed quickly, and the leisure time after dinner was as usual. Being blind did not prevent Qiyuan Wu from reading a book. He was able to read the handwriting on the book with his fingers, without losing the greatest pleasure in daily life. Accompany him with self-tutoring at the side, change tea and some fruit for him from time to time, continue to take care of him like a giant panda, and compile a booklet on how to use herbs by the way, preparing for surprise cooking training during this time.

Both of them had work to do, and the time soon reached 10:30. Takeshi Qiyuan stretched his waist, put down his book and said strangely, "Aren't you going back?"

Qing Jian Liuli looked up at his watch, and suddenly got up, but halfway through getting up, he got tangled up and said hesitantly: "It's a bit late, but... what do you do when I go back?"

In theory, of course she should go home and go to sleep, but now that Wu Qiyuan is blind, she is a little worried when she goes home, what if something happens to him at night?

But it's a bit embarrassing to sleep on his side, what should I do?
　Sorry for being late, it snowed heavily here today, I rolled all the way home... I will correct the typo later.
