Food starts from cooking

Chapter 35 Teacher Huang's Steaming Rice Tips

When it comes to cooking, the most excited person is not the group of Mr. Huang and Mr. He, but the staff who have stayed at Zhou You's house early.

Especially those who ate leftovers, as soon as they heard that Zhou You was going to cook, they immediately started to leave.

"Brother Zhou, do you want to buy something? Just tell me!"

"Brother Zhou, do you want me to wash the vegetables? My hands and feet are diligent!"

"Brother Zhou, I'll add firewood for you!"

Teacher Huang and Teacher He, as well as the staff who came in with them, looked strange. The owner of this house...

The popularity is a bit high.

The population is a bit large, and this is definitely not enough for the family. Zhou You counted the number of people and made a list.

"I am suitable for running errands, Li Hang, drive to the city!"

After receiving the order, Xu Shulong waved his hand, called two people, and decisively disconnected the pickup truck.

After all, there is no market in Lingqu Village today, so he can only go to the urban area, and the urban area is rich in food, so he plans to buy more.

After all, Zhou You is a chef, so he has some requirements for the kitchen, so when it was first built, the kitchen was relatively large, and it also brought an outer shed, which was originally reserved for barbecues in the summer.

Qin Lu had quick hands and quick eyes, and quickly poured water to wash the pot. She worked hard and was a good wife and mother.

After half an hour, Zhou You started to work!
Of course, the dishes haven't come back yet, he mainly steamed the rice first, after all, this meal is to let them know that pearl rice is good.

Seeing that Zhou You was finally busy, Teacher Huang asked Qin Lu who was idle, "What's the matter? Is it really so delicious?"

Although the production team is looking forward to the meal, it is just the eagerness to empty the belly after busy work.

But work didn't start again today, so why are they all mobilized and looking forward to it.

Qin Lu smiled helplessly: "Mr. Huang, I don't know how to say it. I can only say that Zhou You's craftsmanship is definitely the best I have ever seen. You will know it when you eat it!"

Well, seeing that there is no reason to ask, Teacher Huang can only watch from the sidelines.

Taking out a small bag of rice from the Westinghouse warehouse, Zhou You poured it out carefully, briefly passed the water, and then put it directly on the steamer.

And this process was clearly seen by everyone else.

Cooking alone, with a dozen or 20 people watching, is also a spectacle.

"This is steamed rice!"

"The firewood rice steamed in a big pot like this in the countryside is so delicious!"

"That rice looks good!"

"Just run through the water, at least wash it!"

Someone whispered.

After all, not everyone can accept life in the countryside. Some people always think of the countryside when they think of it as dirty, messy and unhygienic.

"It's a bit rough. The most basic requirement for rice is that it should be neither thin nor raw. However, a bowl of high-quality rice should have clear grains, bright grains, soft and delicious, sweet and non-sticky. I want to achieve There are actually a few tricks to high-quality rice!"

"Oh, the trick? What is it!" Mr. He and Mr. Huang are old acquaintances. They have cooperated more than once. In the last issue, they were called the peerless twins, and they immediately took over the topic and praised it.

Teacher Huang took a sip of tea and said, "That's oil, salt, and white vinegar!"

"Adding oil can make the rice shiny and shiny, and the grains are distinct. Adding vinegar can make the rice soft and delicious, firm and plump. As for adding salt... Rice is a product of the field after all. Even if it has rice fragrance, it will still be more or less There is a little smell, and the salt can just get rid of the smell in the rice!"

"Tsk tsk, Teacher Huang deserves to be called Chef Huang!"

Everyone else gave a thumbs up, and then looked at Zhou You, thinking that Zhou You's steamed rice was indeed a bit rough.

Zhou You naturally heard these words, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't even think about changing it!
Oil, salt, white vinegar?
Thought I was just plain rice?

I'll let you guys know what the pearl rice given by the system is called in a while!

The materials hadn't been bought yet, after Zhou You put away the rice, he also had some free time, and he didn't see Xiao Qinghe for a few days, he had already called Yang Qingning and asked her to bring the child back, and the weekend was coming.

Everyone just chatted and waited, but...

"Hmm...it smells so good!"

"That's right, I smelled it too, the smell of rice, I suddenly miss the smell of my mother!"

"The aroma of the rice is so tempting!"

The aroma of rice came out, causing many people to sniff their noses, but they were not surprised, after all, the aroma of rice itself was the purest.

but……

As the white mist inside the steamer rose more intensely, the aroma of the rice also became more intense.

"Hey, that's not right, the smell of this rice...why is it so strong!"

"Yes, yes, I often cook at home, and the rice is not so fragrant when I steam it!"

"Could it be because of firewood rice!"

"Mom, is firewood rice so delicious?"

Each of them sat quite far away, but as the smell became more and more intense, they even took the bench and began to move a little bit towards the stove.

At this time, Teacher Huang couldn't help sniffling, with doubts in his eyes!

No no no!

It's not that he has never eaten firewood rice. Although firewood rice does have a special aroma compared to electric rice cookers, it is because of the large fire and long-time simmering, which leads to the dissolution of the molecules in the rice grains.

Therefore, if the time is not grasped, it will lead to the result that although the rice smells good, it tastes bad and tastes bad.

But no matter what, it will not be so fragrant!

All of them were sniffling around the steamer. Fortunately, there were no police here, otherwise these guys would have to be arrested!

Cooking smoke curls up!

Although there is no one within a kilometer of Zhou You's house, many people in the village usually like to come and watch the excitement because the family comes and goes.

Filming, everyone has never seen it, and some of them have watched the "Longing for Life" program, and wonder if they can see popular stars.

but……

"Hmm...it smells so good, Zhou You's family is cooking!"

"No...you can't be Zhou You cooking!"

"That……"

Several villagers wandering around the pond in front of Zhou You's house saw the smoke and smelled the fragrance, and their eyes widened immediately.

go?
don't go?

Nonsense, of course I’m not leaving, they’re all from the same village, I don’t care much about etiquette at all, and most of them just go in and eat casually when there’s a meal.

But after all, there are other people in Zhou Youjia, but...

This is really delicious!

Finally, it was the Temple of the Five Viscera that overcame reason, and they walked towards Zhou Youjia resolutely.

At this time, everyone had gathered around the stove, talking about the smell, while fanning steam towards their noses and mouths with their hands.

"Let's make it!"

The time was almost up, Zhou You lifted the crowd, took the rag, and opened the lid!
The moment the lid was lifted, majestic steam rose into the sky!

A more intense smell of rice spread out, and at the same time, the sound of gurgling and swallowing saliva came and went!
