The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 92
Ye Qing was concentrating on preparing the ingredients for the brine, she didn't hear Wu Yan's sound just now.

Mrs. Xu happened to hear it, looked up, and Wu Yan approached with two buckets of washed pheasants and hares, the feet of the pheasants were still sticking out of the bucket.

When Wu Yan saw Xu Shi, his expression was still a little unnatural, probably because Xu Shi was too strict with him before, so no matter how he calmed down now, when facing Xu Shi, he was still a little apprehensive.

Of course, it is impolite not to greet people.

So, Wu Yan called out in a stiff voice: "Auntie!"

Xu did not like him very much before, especially the time he dared to touch Ye Qing's feet, she really wanted to chop off the boy's hands.As for later, when she saw that Wu Yan was making progress, the knot in her heart gradually became smaller.

"What sauce and marinated sauce?"

"Eh..." Wu Yan was immediately at a loss for words, stared at Ye Qing with wide eyes, and muttered, "Qingqing, what is sauce-flavored marinade?"

Ye Qing had finished preparing the ingredients at this time, raised his head and said: "It's something marinated in marinade. It can be stewed meat, stewed chicken and duck, stewed pig's intestines, pig's feet... Of course, vegetarian dishes are also available. Calculate."

Ye Qing just said it in such a simple way, Gou's speechless and Xu's gluttons went straight out, why do these things sound so delicious?
"In addition to stewed pork, you can also make five-spice pork. Five-spice pork is a bit more troublesome to make, and the process is much more complicated than stir-fried spicy and braised pork, but the taste is very good." Ye Qing said self-consciously Then, the more I talked, the more excited I became.

Xu Shi and Wu Yan hadn't digested the stewed vegetables yet, and they heard her say five-spice, so they couldn't bear it, and they hurriedly urged her to do it quickly.

Wu Yan didn't know how to cook before, but now he is very proficient in cooking. Before Ye Qing could speak, he had already cleaned the cauldron and lit it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu continued her work and cut the bitter gourd into thin slices. She heard Qingqing say that the scrambled eggs were good yesterday!

Seeing that Xu Shi also acted like a greedy child, Ye Qing showed a happy and satisfied smile on his face.

Speaking of sauce-flavored stewed vegetables, in the southwest of China, you can find all kinds of stewed vegetables in supermarkets, markets, and even remote towns.It’s just that the regional differences and the people who make the marinade are different, and the taste of the marinade is also different. Therefore, the secret recipe of the ingredients is still particular about the stewed vegetables.

In Sichuan, the most common meat dishes are stewed chicken wings, stewed chicken feet, stewed meat, and stewed beef. The vegetarian dishes are stewed tofu and peanuts, which are cheap and delicious.Ye Qing thinks back to the original flavor of sauce and lo mei in his previous life, this soul is almost gone.

She laughed secretly because she was a cook, and said that "the essence is eaten by the cook", why is she so greedy as a famous chef?
"Qingqing, what are you laughing at?"

Seeing her covering her mouth and chuckling alone, Wu Yan asked curiously.

Ye Qing quickly waved his hands, "It's nothing, I'm afraid the smell of marinade will come out later, and it will hook your gluttons."

Wu Yan's emotions aroused by her became more and more high, and he wished to see the so-called "sauce-flavored vegetables" immediately.

Ye Qing was no longer speechless, and carefully poured the prepared brown sugar, Chinese prickly ash, ginger, tea leaves, bay leaves, cinnamon bark, dried chilies, star anise, astragalus, fennel, and tangerine peel into the pot, and filled half of the pot with water.

In order to let the taste of ginger dissolve into the marinade, the ginger must be peeled and smashed. In addition, the star anise must be broken into small pieces.After all the marinade is put into the pot, add salt and soy sauce, cover and burn.

After Ye Qing put the lid on, he clapped his hands, and went to clean up the hares and pheasants.

There are almost ten hares and pheasants in two barrels, and one pot of stewing will definitely not finish.Ye Qing weighed the weight and decided to divide it into three pots of stew, and the pheasant and hare had to be butchered into large pieces.Too big a piece of marinade for too long, too small a piece of nibbling and tasteless.

After about half an hour, the marinade in the pot smelled.Wu Yan was the closest, his soul was almost attracted by the fragrance - it was so fragrant!

When Xu finished her work, she went to pour water for the workers, and smelled the fragrance, and sighed in her heart that her daughter was capable.

When the workers smelled the fragrance, they all stopped their work and asked curiously, "Girl Qing, what did you do? Why is it so fragrant? We won't leave at night!"

In the past few days, the workers have become acquainted with the people of Ye's family, and they joked and laughed, which was very interesting.

Others also echoed, "Yeah, I've never tasted such delicious food before. The gluttons in our stomachs have been hooked out, and we don't want to work anymore."

"Uncle Yu, don't you just want to be lazy? You just want to find some excuses."

Xun Bin revealed Yu Miao's shortcoming with a smile, which made everyone laugh.

Of course Ye Qing also knew that these people were joking, so he also joked: "This is delicious, it should be eaten by those who work the most!"

"This girl, her mouth is still so unforgiving."

After Yu Miao cursed with a smile, she called everyone to continue working.It's just that everyone is thinking in their hearts, what is it that smells so good?

After the marinade boiled for more than an hour, Ye Qing used a bamboo raft to fish out the condiment slag, the soup in the pot was thick and thick.

After Ye Qing dipped a little more of the soup to taste, he poured the chopped chicken pieces into the pot, covered the lid and it was the marinated pheasant.

The marinade time should also be paid attention to. If the time is too long, the meat will be too rotten and will not chew;Therefore, in addition to grasping the ingredients of the soup, mastering the marinade time is also a great key point.

After stewing for about half an hour, Ye Qing lifted the lid of the pot.As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, Ye Junhui, Xun Bin, and the cook who had been waiting by the stove were speechless. The six eyes of the three of them almost fell into the pot.

Ye Qing held back a smile and drove the three of them aside, then carefully scooped out the chicken pieces with a hollow spoon, and put them into a clay pot.Then, pour the remaining chicken pieces into the pot, cover the lid and continue to marinate.

"Hey, if the three of you cheat, you won't be allowed to eat at night." Seeing the three cheating cats surrounding the crock pot, Ye Qing threatened immediately.

Ye Junbei and Wu Yan knew that Ye Qing had a "sharp mouth and tofu heart", so how could they bear not to let them eat at night?With a tacit understanding, one of them scooped up a piece and tasted it, and ran away quickly.

After all, Xun Bin was a little restrained, he stood there and smiled at Ye Qing, with a nervous expression on his face, "Qingqing, I'm off to work."

The three of them stalked together, but Ye Junbei and Wu Yan took a piece of meat and ran away, how could Ye Qing let Xun Bin return empty-handed?She picked up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks and gave it to Xun Bin, "Here, hide and eat, I'm not responsible for being robbed by them."

Xun Bin took the chicken, responded excitedly, and hid in a corner.

And Wu Yan chewed the chicken, his face turned green with anger!
