Guozijian little cook

Chapter 16 Fish Stew

The matter at the academy has been dealt with almost, and the remaining masters can help.

Xiao Siye thought that there was still time, so he nodded: "Then I will stay cheeky."

When Xiao Nianzhi heard this, she quietly stood behind her aunt, and lightly poked her on the back, the meaning was obvious, why not let her cook?

Aunt Yu instantly understood what the little girl meant, and she just wanted to send Xiao Nianzhi away so that she could talk to Xiao Siye, so she smiled: "You have been busy these days, and you haven't had a chance yet." Try Xiangxiang's craftsmanship, let Xiangxiang cook at noon today."

As soon as Xiao Nianzhi was asked to cook, Xiao Siye quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I drank the pear soup yesterday, it tastes very good."

Xiao Siye also drank pear soup before, whether it was from the cafeteria or his own cook, the taste was not as sweet as Xiao Nianzhi's.

Xiao Siye didn't keep the big bowl full, and almost drank it all in one go.

I don't know if it's the effect of the pear soup, but he stopped coughing today and his throat feels comfortable.

Seeing Xiao Siye's refusal, Aunt Yu shook her head helplessly: "Let the little girl go."

Hearing what Aunt Yu said, Xiao Siye thought about it again, what happened yesterday sounded dangerous, and he was also afraid that the little girl would get scared after thinking wildly, so it's okay to let her get busy and ignore those messy things.

After thinking it over, Xiao Siye nodded, turned his head and told Xiao Nianzhi: "Ask the cook to help you, don't get caught..."

Afterwards, she gave a lot of reassurance. Aunt Yu was listening and couldn't help shaking her head, but there was a smile on her lips.

Xiao Nianzhi quickly followed Guanshi Hu to the kitchen, leaving behind Aunt Yu, Xiao Siye, and two maidservants standing at the door.

Seeing the back of Xiao Nianzhi walking away, Aunt Yu took a look at Xiao Siye: "Think about how brave and strong you are than you imagined, now that you see it, don't worry?"

The reason why Xiao Siye came here after he was busy was because he was afraid that Xiao Nianzhi, a little girl, would encounter such a thing when she first arrived.

Now looking at Xiao Nianzhi's appearance, most of his heart has been put down, he is not annoyed by being teased by Aunt Yu, he smiled helplessly: "She is a poor child, if I don't take care of her more, what will she do?"

After hearing this, Aunt Yu became curious: "Do you think there are no other close relatives?"

Regarding this question, Xiao Siye hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not that there are still people in my aunt's family, but it's a little difficult to get along with. It is also for this reason that his father wrote to me. When his father was around, he still couldn't deal with those people from his aunt's family, let alone a little girl? Although the tribe is friendly, there are some things that don't make it easy, so it's good to keep her away from those people."

Xiao Siye's aunt's house?

That's Xiao Nianzhi's grandmother's family?

As soon as Aunt Yu heard it, she knew that Xiao Siye was being merciful, saying that he was not easy to get along with, maybe it would be very difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Xiao's father was afraid that Xiao Nianzhi would be a little girl, and no family members would be able to cope with it, so he simply stayed away from those people. Although he left his hometown, Xiao Siye was always more reliable than those people.

And there is no best product by the side, and the days are relatively quiet.

After thinking it over, Aunt Yu nodded: "I'll just take care of you more in the future. I accepted your favor back then, and now I finally have a chance to repay you."

When mentioning the events back then, Xiao Siye smiled embarrassedly: "Speaking of which, the ginseng I gave to my aunt back then, I think his father sent it to me."

Aunt Yu was stunned after hearing this, and shook her head after realizing it: "So, some things may be predestined in the dark, and my fate with Xiangxiang, it must have been doomed many years ago."

Xiao Nianzhi naturally didn't know about the conversation between the two.

She followed Manager Hu to the kitchen, preparing to touch the ingredients with the cook.

No matter what, Xiao Siye counts customers, Xiao Nianzhi is not easy to deal with by frying two dishes.

For three people to eat, at least four dishes and one soup, and it is best to have some dessert after the meal.

The cook saw Xiao Nianzhi approaching, and came up to her with a smile: "Girl, we have freshly delivered carp, grass carp, freshly killed chicken, chopped ribs..."

The two briefly touched each other, and Xiao Nianzhi knew it in his heart.

Not much pork came, but there was a tenderloin.

Looking at this, Xiao Nianzhi thought of sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

Aunt Yu must like this taste.

Xiao Siye had a cold and his throat was uncomfortable before, so let's have some home-cooked vegetables.

It just so happened that Zhuangzi had fresh green leafy vegetables and oyster sauce, she still needed to explain how that dish was made, first stir-fry it, and then talk about the oyster sauce when there was a chance.

Fresh carp, braised in soy sauce, has a strong meaty aroma.

Fresh chicken, stir-fried with scallion oil is also good.

Finally, there is a soup, with a dessert, and it's all done.

After thinking it over, Xiao Nianzhi started to do it.

With the help of a cook, the pressure of preparing ingredients is reduced by half.

She first instructed the cook to cut the tenderloin: "Cut it into long strips as thick as your fingers."

While speaking, Xiao Nianzhi had already chopped up the chicken with a chopping knife.

Fried chicken with scallion oil does not need to be blanched, so that the freshness of the chicken can be preserved to the greatest extent.

However, if it is not handled properly, it will have a strong fishy smell.

Therefore, the chopped chicken is washed back and forth several times with salt water to clean the blood foam and impurities, and then marinated with seasoning, which makes it easier to taste and remove the fishy smell.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi's nimble chopping knife, the cook's scalp tightened, she quickly withdrew her gaze, and started her own operation.

The cook has no doubts about Xiao Nianzhi's cooking skills, because yesterday's tofu and cabbage stew was enough to conquer her.

Whether it's the knife skills or the taste, Xiao Nianzhi handled it very well.

Regardless of whether there is a recipe or not, let the cook copy it one by one. She feels that she may not be able to make the same taste.

Regarding this, Xiao Nianzhi silently commented: "It's really difficult, because they don't have enough seasoning."

After the chicken was chopped and cleaned, Xiao Nianzhi went to handle the fish again.

The fish is fresh, not killed or processed.

Killing fish is not an easy job, because the fish has a lot of mucus, and if you don't catch it well, it's easy to chop into the air.

Xiao Nianzhi found an old cloth, pressed the head of the fish to fix it, and then hit it several times with the back of the knife, it is not known whether the fish passed out or died.

Then she swiftly began to remove the scales, remove the fishing line, and dispose of the internal organs.

The black film in the belly of the fish should also be cleaned, otherwise it will easily affect the taste of the fish.

Xiao Nianzhi handled it very cleanly, and the whole movement was neat.

The cook occasionally turned her head to see her movements, and couldn't help secretly admiring them.

To be honest, the cook herself doesn't know how to kill fish, and when she encounters fish killing every day, she has to call the farm worker or the steward for help.

Looking at Xiao Nianzhi's actions at this time, the cook was both admiring and envious.
