Chapter 95 Cooking Wine
95
After a moment of silence, Bo Beibei said, "Mom, I see, I'll try again."

Bo Beibei was thinking about what the cooking wine tasted like in his previous life.

"It's getting late, I'm so sleepy, let's do it tomorrow." Feng said with a yawn.

"Mom, go to sleep first, I'll sleep later."

"Okay, don't be too late." Feng Shi really couldn't hold on anymore, turned around and left the kitchen.

Bai Beibei froze for a long time before starting to make cooking wine. She only selected five kinds of spices from the dozen or so kinds of spices just now: Chinese prickly ash, cinnamon, nutmeg, aniseed, and fragrant leaves, and cut a few slices of ginger Put it aside for later use, then find out the white sugar, put it in a pot and boil it until it becomes caramelized, then add rice wine and stir evenly, then put the five kinds of spices and sliced ​​ginger into the pot and cook on low heat until a fragrance comes out.

After the cooking wine in the pot cooled down, Bai Beibei fished out all the ingredients and tasted it himself.

Bo Beibei scooped up a tablespoon with a spoon, first tapped it with the tip of his tongue, rolled it into his mouth, and aftertaste, it tasted like modern cooking wine, but the taste of aniseed seemed to be too strong; after another sip, it was a bit choking, And there is a burnt smell. She tasted it the second time and she was sure that too much aniseed was put in. The burnt smell should be because the sugar was boiled too much.

At this time, Feng and the others had already fallen asleep, and Bo Beibei didn't feel sleepy when he was in high spirits. According to the ratio just now, he reduced the amount of aniseed ingredients by one-third, and boiled it again.

The taste made this time is very similar to the taste of modern cooking wine, but Bai Beibei still feels dissatisfied. After thinking about it for a long time, he still doesn't know which spice to add or subtract.

She couldn't figure it out, so she had to give up temporarily. She put the cooking wine made twice into small jars, and asked her mother to make it for the guests tomorrow to see how the guests reacted.

Bai Beibei cleaned up the kitchen, saw her mother and Widow Liu sleeping soundly, and entered the space again.

Walking to the vegetable field outside the cave, Bai Beibei was ecstatic when he saw a few sprouts sprouting from the ground in the field on the far side.

Flavor fruit alive!
Bai Beibei squatted in front of a few buds, stretched out his hand and carefully stroked the tender green fragrance fruit buds, I wonder how long it will take for the fragrance fruit to bear fruit?

Bai Beibei has begun to look forward to owning a large flavor orchard.

However, longing is longing after all. Bo Beibei lingered in the vegetable field for a long time before returning to the cave, and habitually took a bucket of water out of the space and poured it into the kitchen water tank.

In the past few months, the health of the family has been getting better and better, and there is not even a minor illness. The mother, the eldest aunt and the second aunt all attribute it to the improvement of life. Only Bo Beibei knows in her heart that it is all caused by Lingyan water. effect.

Bo Beibei not only adds Lingyan water to her own water tank, but she also adds water to her uncle's and second uncle's house. Now she buys water every time the water is delivered. She has the door key of the uncle's and second uncle's house, so she will not reveal it. tells.

Bai Beibei felt that she had just laid down when she heard Aunt Liu getting up.

Bo Beibei couldn't keep her eyes open, and she didn't wake up until Mancang called her to get up and have breakfast.

"Sister, didn't you tell me that you can't sleep in? Why did you sleep in?" Man Cang complained that he was often talked about by his sister for sleeping in.

Bo Beibei blinked and nodded solemnly: "Yes, my sister is wrong. My sister promises you that she will never sleep in again, okay?"

It is said that precepts and deeds teach, she has set a bad example for Mancang, and she will have to change it in the future.

Feng Shi came in just in time to hear the conversation between the youngest son and his daughter, and couldn't help but shook his head. The daughter is also tired. She slept too deeply last night, so she didn't know when her daughter would go to bed.

Bo Beibei went back to the kitchen to fetch water and went outside to wash up. Seeing that uncle and the others had come over for breakfast, she hurried back to the kitchen and said to Feng, "Mother, use the cooking wine in this jar to make a thousand pieces of red-cooked braised pork. Let's have a look." How does it taste? By the way, let’s get some fish, this cooking wine also has the effect of removing fishy smell.”

As Bai Beibei said, he took out the jar of cooking wine that was boiled for the second time and handed it to Mrs. Feng.

"You made this last night?" Feng Shi opened the mouth of the altar and smelled it: "Well, it smells pretty good, with a faint fragrance."

"Yes, mother, this cooking wine is very effective. Not only can it increase the aroma of dishes, it can remove the fishy smell when cooking fish, and it can remove the smell when cooking beef and mutton. Adding some cooking wine when stir-frying vegetables can also make green leafy vegetables appear more emerald green. "Bai Beibei told all the functions of cooking wine that he knew.

"Is this cooking wine so magical?" Feng Shi was dubious.

"Mom, you'll know if you try it."

"Okay, then I'll use this cooking wine to make some dishes for your uncles and uncles to taste." Feng Shi said and washed the pot.

When Widow Liu heard that Mrs. Feng wanted to cook, she hurried to the stove to start a fire.

As soon as Feng made the choy sum, stir-fried meat with thousands of knots, and braised yellow croaker fish in sauce, he brought it to the table, and he called out after the whole year: "Third Aunt, what day is it today, and you made it so rich in the morning?"

Usually breakfast is either lean meat porridge or white porridge with pickles, and at most a few fried eggs. What's going on today?

Feng said with a smile: "Last night, Beibei boiled a kind of sauce for cooking, and there is also a kind of seasoning called cooking wine. Beibei asked me to make it for you to try and see if there is any room for improvement."

"Beibei made it?" Man Nian looked disgusted, Beibei's dishes could only be swallowed at best, how could it compare with Third Aunt's craftsmanship.

Bai Beibei stared: "Brother Mannian, what kind of expression do you have? Is the food I cook terrible?"

Seeing that he had accidentally offended Bo Beibei, Mannian quickly said with a flattering smile: "No, no, how can Beibei's food be unpalatable?"

Mannian seemed to be afraid that Bo Beibei would not believe it. He forked a chopstick with a thousand sheets of roasted pork and stuffed it into his mouth, regardless of whether it was hot or not.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help laughing.

Bo Beibei also pursed her lips and smiled, staring straight at Man Nian, wanting to see his reaction after tasting this dish.

"Be careful not to choke." Mrs. Zhao muttered worriedly.

Man Nian suddenly stared, eyes straightened.

When Mrs. Zhao saw it, she hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks and patted her son's back in a panic: "They said don't choke, don't choke, who made you gulp like this."

"Mother, I'm not choking, these thousand knots taste so good!" After a while, he said vaguely.

"Brother Mannian, it was your exaggerated expression that scared the second aunt." Bai Beibei said angrily and funny.

Brother Mannian just likes to play tricks. No matter how good the taste of Qianzhang Roasted Pork with cooking wine is, it won’t surprise him like this, right?

Man Nian managed to swallow a mouthful of food, smiled, and stuffed another fish with chopsticks into his mouth.

"Be careful of the fishbone." Mrs. Zhao hastily warned again, but it's a pity that the fish meat has already been stuffed into her mouth after the whole year.

"This is delicious, this fish is more delicious than a thousand knots." Man Nian shouted.
