Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 89 Fantastic Dinner
By the time Xia Jin called her back in the afternoon and had arrived home, Su Mu had already prepared the vegetables on the list in the hotel room.

There were too many fruits and vegetables stored on the bluestone platform in the space, so he simply set aside a plastic basket to neatly stack the cabbage, lettuce, and carrots needed by the other party, and prepared a small bag of fresh shiitake mushrooms for Xia Hongliang Send it over.

Cabbage and carrots are fine. After all, they are not vegetables with too much water content. Apart from being very fresh and bright in color, there is nothing special about them from the outside; and the stored lettuce is really good, and the big green leaves are like blooming flowers. , The tender ones can squeeze out water.

The lettuce stems are uniform in thickness, the skin is thin and the meat is thick and juicy; the lettuce leaves are green and fresh, just looking at them makes people want to eat!
After the vegetable basket was ready, Su Mu put it in the space, walked out of the space and called Xia Hongliang.

Xia Hongchao, who was pleasantly surprised, said that he would contact there immediately, and if necessary, he would personally bring the other party over to pick up the goods.Su Mu thought for a while that it would be inconvenient to stay in the hotel, so he told him that he just got the food and drove it to his home.

Unexpectedly, the little chef arrived earlier than himself. When Su Mu brought in a small basket of vegetables, he was talking about cooking with Xia Hongliang.

Until this moment, he finally met the self-reliant little chef.

He is about 1.8 meters tall; he has a tall and straight figure and looks handsome; what's more rare is that his attitude is very humble, which makes people feel good at first sight.

"Yiming, this is the little Su I told you about, Su Mu. Three years older than you, you should call him Brother Su; Xiao Su, this is Han Yiming, the youngest son of my old friend."

After a brief acquaintance, Xia Hongchao explained: "Originally the best plan was to get the food tomorrow, and then practice a few times to prepare for the battlefield the day after tomorrow. Now it's all right, a day earlier than expected, Yiming, how many times can you practice well?" Time!"

Su Mu handed over a basket of vegetables that he brought over and said with a smile: "It just so happened that I called my friend when I knew he needed these vegetables. He usually helps to buy the products from the farm. There are also some fresh vegetables, so I will bring some of what you need. If there are not enough, I can go over and get them for you at any time."

Han Yiming took it over and inspected the dishes carefully. Suddenly, a stone fell from his heart, and he smiled and said, "This is many times better than the ingredients I prepared before. Brother Su, how much do these cost?"

"I grow vegetables and sell them, so if there are so few vegetables, it's worth the money." Su Mu took out a plastic bag from the basket and said with a smile: "I also got some good things besides vegetables. , anyway, it’s getting dark now, and it’s not easy to get to know the chef of Yanlaiju, why don’t we just make some small dishes here?”

"Okay, okay, that's exactly what I mean!" Xia Hongliang was eager for someone to cook for dinner at night, so he hurriedly said, "I happen to have a bottle of good wine, let's make two side dishes and drink a few cups! Yiming, you cook Do you need any other seasonings? If you don’t find one, I’ll go out and buy it!”

Han Yiming blushed slightly and waved his hands and said, "Don't praise me, you two. I'm just a young chef who hasn't graduated yet. It's not certain whether I can stay in Yanlaiju's back kitchen, and my cooking skills are average. If you want to eat Vegetables, I’m going to make them right now, but I don’t know what Su Ge is holding in this bag? It looks like it’s still alive.”

Su Mu smiled and opened the plastic bag, and showed him a fish and some crabs that were fished out from the space, "There are still fresh things in the car outside, you deal with the fish and crabs first, and I will give them to you." You take it here."

Even if he picked up the smallest crab in the space and took it out, these few crabs weighed at least one catty.

Even Han Yiming, who was used to seeing all kinds of rare ingredients in the back kitchen, was stunned. He had never seen hairy crabs weighing more than a catty!
And look at the bright colors of these crabs, fresh as if they have just been fished out of the water, and the straw ropes tied to their bodies are still wet.Clear outline, dense bristles, blue back, white belly, yellow hair, golden claws, they are indeed pure hairy crabs. At this time, they all bark their teeth and claws fiercely, and they don't look like what should be in this season.

"Brother Su, you really don't hide anything. It's rare for Yan Laiju to come across such a good hairy crab. I didn't expect us to have such a good fortune!" Han Yiming was excited when he saw the nearly one-foot-long hairy crab. The fat and big fish's eyes lit up immediately, "Now there's even soup, this big herring is really good in quality! I'll go clean up and fry some fish balls, and I'll make soup for it later."

With Xia Hongliang's eyesight, he couldn't tell how good these ingredients were, but after seeing the professional chef's reaction, he knew that what Su Mu brought today was not bad.

Therefore, he somewhat believed the rare anecdotes told by his daughter, and hurriedly followed Su Mu downstairs to get the last finale ingredients out of the car.

Xia Hongliang couldn't close his mouth when he saw the big lobster weighing five catties.

In the years of being the boss, I have seen a lot of various dinners.I also eat abalone shark fin, sea cucumber and lobster, but I have never seen such a big lobster!
A lobster with a hard carapace looks like a small one, but it looks a bit scary when it's so big with its teeth and claws!Even though Xia Hongliang kept praising it, he didn't dare to touch it.

"There is also a basket of fresh vegetables in the car. They are specially prepared for you. They are all common fruits and vegetables, but they are all fresh and they are all produced in my farm. The quality is absolutely guaranteed." Su Mu held them in both hands. Lobster walked back quickly, motioning for Xia Hongliang to move back another basket of vegetables in the car.

The two returned with a full load, frightening Han Yiming who came to help in response.

"It's the first time I've seen such a big lobster when I've grown up! Last time when we had a treasure banquet, Fei Ge specially bought two lobsters that weighed four catties. At that time, we were so envious. There is still a chance to meet even bigger ones!" Han Yiming was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he hurried forward to help.

"The main reason is that I happened to meet such a rare thing. I spent a lot of effort to get one. When I get home, I will definitely find a pond to raise some lobsters, hairy crabs and the like. You can go to Huatanao to play in the future." Son, eat these things as you like!" Su Mu went into the kitchen to wash his hands, and stood aside to watch how Han Yiming handled the crabs and lobsters.

Although there are many such good things in his own space, he has never taken them out, so even the little girl Xia Jin has never tasted them.

Firstly, it was because the reservoir had just been built, and the timing was not ripe, so it was unreasonable to suddenly produce such large lobsters and crabs;Parents, including grandma, have never eaten seafood, let alone cook it, but they will ruin the deliciousness.

Today, I learned a lot from the little chef. When I go back, I simply bring two baskets, so that the family members can also try something new.

"Let's steam the hairy crabs and lobsters directly, and I'll make some seasonings to dip them in; the big herring will be used as fish ball soup; and then mixed with bitter chrysanthemum, I think the small fish sauce, shrimp sauce, and mushroom sauce that Xiaojin left here are all good. Very, just mix bitter chrysanthemum with small fish sauce, it is refreshing and delicious; by the way, I will show you the dishes I am going to participate in.

Four dishes and one soup are enough for the three of us, what do you think of the arrangement? "

Han Yiming quickly picked out the ingredients he needed for dinner and asked the two of them for their opinions.

Su Mu's purpose is to follow him to learn how to eat lobster and crab, so naturally he has no objection; and Xia Hongliang even agrees with it.Originally, it was just a favor to help set up the line, but he didn't expect to be able to have such a sumptuous dinner without having to do it himself. Of course, he was happy to save trouble.

After reaching a consensus, Xia Hongliang went to prepare the wine; Su Mu was going to help out in the kitchen and learn from the little chef by the way.

Han Yiming explained to him how to handle these ingredients and how to make them delicious. After a while, when the crabs and lobsters were steamed, he hesitated and asked: "Brother Su, is it convenient for you to get these dishes? I have nothing else Meaning, because it will be used in the morning of the day after tomorrow, so I thought, if it is not troublesome, can I prepare another batch for me in the morning of the day after tomorrow?
The amount required is not large, just two cabbages, five carrots, three lettuces and a few fresh shiitake mushrooms. I just want this freshness.

If you are not busy, you can also go to Yanlaiju to participate in the competition with us.Each chef can bring four relatives and friends in, and there is still one quota left on my side.

At that time, not only can you watch the skills of the chefs, but you can also learn a lot of cooking skills, and there will be comments from famous chefs at the end. After watching it, you can learn a thing or two without talking.I heard from Uncle Xia that you live a carefree life in the country and have your own farm and pasture. If you have nothing to do, it would be interesting to think about cooking. "

When Su Mu heard that there was still such excitement to join in, he was really interested.

I have never been in Yanlaiju since I grew up, so if I have the opportunity to watch the feast every two years, it can be regarded as an eye-opener.So he immediately responded, "Of course! Let's set a time, and I'll deliver the food to you the next morning, and I'll be a cheerleader for you by the way!"

"Then it's a deal!" Han Yiming finally resolved his worries, with a reassuring smile on his handsome face.

The chefs trained by Yanlaiju all start from the lowest level of work, and the requirements are very strict.

As long as one of the assessments fails, at least one will be relegated to the next level of study; at worst, one will be kicked out of the back kitchen.It is precisely because of this that batches of very capable chefs have been cultivated.

After Han Yiming entered the kitchen, he showed his demeanor as a chef.

Put on the apron, clear the workbench, and remove a leather pouch from his waist.After unfolding, there were all kinds of knives inside. Su Mu knew almost nothing about cooking, so Han Yiming explained that these were the tools used for Lengpin carving.

"I'll do it as slowly as possible. If Brother Su doesn't understand something, I can write you a recipe later." Han Yiming was talking, only to hear a light sound of the kitchen knife and the chopping board, under his nimble hands, a A fresh and juicy lettuce quickly becomes a well-proportioned filament.

Xia Hongliang set up the table, and after taking out the good wine, he and Su Mu watched the chef cook together.

Han Yiming was really unambiguous, cutting, slicing, chopping, mixing, frying, roasting... The voice coming from his hands was like music, full of excitement and flow.

Not even Su Mu, who volunteered to help, did all the work in the kitchen by himself.By the time the summer heat of the western mountains began to dissipate gradually at sunset, the restaurant of Xia Hongliang's family had already served sumptuous dishes.
