A 21st-century mainland woman inexplicably transmigrates to 1990s Hong Kong? If it were anyone else, they would surely be at a loss. But Ye Shuyi is not just anyone. Falsely accused and framed by h...
Chapter 91: Braised Lamb in Traditional Style [Monthly Ticket Bonus]
Old Master He kindly asked Li Yunjiang if he was scared.
"No. Thank you for your concern, Mr. He." Li Yunjiang said politely.
"That's good." Old Master He nodded slightly and continued, "I've heard that it was you who found the person who caused the trouble. It's all thanks to you."
"Don't be polite, old man. It's just a small matter."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then the old man turned the topic to Ye Shuyi.
"This must be Miss Ye," the old man said as he glanced at her.
"I am."
"The pastries made by Miss Ye are exquisite and delicious, but is she from a famous family?" he asked.
"I studied with a master in my early years, but he didn't want to reveal his name. He just said that he was a leisurely immortal." Ye Shuyi said with a smile.
"Oh, so where is your home in Hong Kong Island?"
“Tsim Sha Tsui.”
"That place is nice." The old man said in a calm tone.
From this we can see that they are not a wealthy family.
Rich people live in Victoria Peak, Mid-Levels, Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay and Kowloon Tong.
"Grandpa, Shuyi is a famous chef. Her family has two restaurants, one under her father's name and the other under her name. But she actually manages them all. They are very famous in Hong Kong Island!" He Yue introduced.
"Yes." Old Master He placed the teacup on the mahogany coffee table beside him and said, "Ruan Yu, go to my room and bring those wooden boxes over."
"good."
This is the reward from the old man.
"I almost wronged you just now. This is a small gift from the He family as compensation." The old man handed a mahogany box to the butler.
The housekeeper handed it to Ye Shuyi.
"Shuyi, accept it quickly!" He Yue urged.
Ye Shuyi took it and thanked the old man.
Before he finished, Old Master He handed over a rosewood box and said, "You just proposed a solution in a critical moment, using citric acid to repel ants. This is our He family's way of thanking you."
"Thank you, old man."
I thought that was the end, but the old man presented a third box made of golden nanmu wood.
"It's a blessing for Ah Yue to have a friend as smart and talented as you. As his grandfather, I also want to thank you."
"Thank you, old man."
This time it's finally over.
The old man also gave Li Yunjiang some things, and then let the three young people go out and play.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, not too early.
Li Yunjiang drove back to the police station, while He Yue took Ye Shuyi back to Xiangjiang Kitchen.
"Thank you, He Yue." After getting to know each other, Ye Shuyi started calling him by his name.
"It's okay. If you really want to thank me, could you please let me have dinner?"
"Sure. But I have to cook for the bosses."
He Yue followed Ye Shuyi to the kitchen to watch her cook.
Usually, Shi Ruoxin would come over occasionally to learn from him.
He Yue is good-looking and stands there like a door god, with a strong presence.
"There's a smell of cooking smoke here, please go out first." Ye Shuyi is usually seen cooking, but today she inexplicably felt uncomfortable.
"All right."
Besides, today Shi Ruoxin also came to watch Ye Shuyi cook and passed by He Yue.
She looked at him curiously, and He Yue turned and smiled at her.
Comparing men to flowers may not be particularly appropriate, but He Yue’s smile is as beautiful and eye-catching as a rose.
The little girl's face turned red.
Shi Ruoxin quickly turned her head away and stopped looking, and walked to the kitchen with quick and light steps.
"Sister Shuyi." She arrived and greeted me.
"Why are you so anxious?" Ye Shuyi knew who it was without even looking up.
"Nothing. Sister Shuyi, is that handsome guy just now your friend?" she asked.
He Yue came a few times, but she was always in the kitchen and was never seen.
"Yeah, he's my friend."
"Oh, Sister Shuyi, I think his temperament is not like that of an ordinary person."
Ye Shuyi did not hide it from her: "He is the young master of the He family, so naturally he is different."
"Which He family?"
"The one you were thinking of."
Apart from this, no other families with the surname He in Hong Kong dare to call themselves the He family.
"Sister Shuyi, you are so amazing! You know so many important people." She admired him sincerely.
"It's luck." In fact, it was luck that we met, and the reason we were able to get in touch was because she could cook.
And done very well.
"Sister Shuyi, what are you going to cook today?" Shi Ruoxin didn't continue to dwell on why Sister Shuyi was so lucky, and instead asked other questions.
"Traditional style braised lamb, pigeon in black bean sauce, Arhat tofu, scrambled eggs with beans, and apricot juice white lung soup." Ye Shuyi introduced.
"They all sound delicious." Shi Ruoxin felt that eating delicious food was a pleasure, and watching Ye Shuyi cook was also a pleasure.
Braised Grass Lamb, a traditional Cantonese dish, is made with grass-fed goat. Ye Shuyi chose the goat's front leg, which is tender and has just the right amount of fat and lean.
Soak the mutton slices in water for an hour to completely remove the blood, then you can put them in the pot.
Add ginger slices, cooking wine, and white vinegar, bring to a boil over high heat, and skim off the foam to remove the fishy smell. Then, heat the pan with cold oil, sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant, and stir-fry the Chu Hou sauce and fermented bean curd over low heat until the oil turns red.
When the mutton is cooked, the red oil colors it. After stir-frying for a few times, it turns golden brown. Cooking wine is poured on the side, and the aroma of the mutton is released.
Put it in a casserole, add medicinal herbs, light soy sauce, water chestnuts, sugarcane, rock sugar and other ingredients, simmer over firewood for one and a half hours.
When you lift the lid of the pot, the fresh and mellow aroma of mutton hits your nose, accompanied by the fragrance of medicinal herbs.
This mutton is warm in nature and has the effect of stimulating appetite and strengthening the spleen. The addition of fish maw and sea cucumber makes it both beautifying and nourishing, making it most suitable for women.
Ye Shuyi picked up a piece and tasted it, it was just right.
She poured another half bowl for Shi Ruoxin.
"Please help me try."
Shi Ruo happily accepted this good job.
When you take a bite, the meat is fragrant without any smell, the skin is tight and tender, and the juice is overflowing.
Beautiful.
"Sister Shuyi! You are this!" The thumbs were raised straight up.
"Thank you! Is it delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious. I've never eaten food you cook that's not delicious." She said, holding the bowl.
As long as it tastes good, that's fine. Ye Shuyi divided the remaining mutton into two portions and packed them.
While the mutton was soaking and stewing, she had already prepared the other dishes and the soup was almost ready.
Apricot Juice White Lung Soup uses pig lungs. It is called white lung because the pig lungs are rinsed thoroughly with a hose to drain out the blood and turn them almost white.
Then cut, wash, stir-fry, blanch, add figs, ginkgo nuts, sea coconut, soup bones and other ingredients to cook, which also takes at least one and a half hours.
I originally thought I would have to ask Butler Xue to wait for a while, but he didn't arrive until after seven o'clock today.
Just enough time for the soup to cook.
Ye Shuyi couldn't help but wonder, was there something wrong with the Chen family?
In the past, Butler Xue attached great importance to the fact of coming to get food.
Ye Shuyi waited and waited, but no one showed up. So, at eight o'clock, she called Chen Nanfeng.
No one answered, busy tone.
