Ye Hua was talking to Ye Juaner about his mother-in-law. He was extremely envious of Ye Juaner for having a live-in son-in-law, which really saved her a lot of trouble.
The two of them got up and walked to the west room. Just as they were about to finish their conversation, Ye Juan'er, who always responded seriously, became silent.
On the other side, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Qiuyi also had surprised expressions on their faces.
Ye Hua followed their gaze towards the table and was immediately attracted.
But she quickly told herself that it was not the first time she had seen such a thing before, and people would put a lot of effort into the presentation of the dish. It would be even worse if the food tasted bad.
But Jiang Qiuyi's eyes were completely glued to the dishes on the table, and she couldn't pull them away.
Apart from anything else, just the dish placed in the middle made Jiang Qiuyi decide to invite Mrs. Ye to prepare a banquet for her.
In the middle of the dish, the head and body of a phoenix were carved out of carrots, and the feathers at the back were made of cut dried tofu and meat-filled rolls.
In addition to this dish, there are sweet and sour pork tenderloin, pork elbow, carp, braised pork intestines, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and cold cabbage hearts on the table.
Finally, there was a dish that looked white and fluffy, but I didn’t know what it was called.
Sister Ye said, "Auntie Hua, try it and see if it tastes good."
Because today's lunch was just for Ye Hua's family of three to taste the dishes, Ye Juan'er didn't let her husband and son go to work first, but handed the chopsticks in her hand to Ye Hua.
Ye Hua’s first chopstick went straight for the sweet and sour pork.
This dish is not difficult to make, and many people can make it, but to make it delicious, you still need to master the tricks.
The heat is especially difficult to control, and if it is over-fried, it will become hard.
But if the time is too short, the tenderloin will be soft and shapeless, and the texture and taste will be very different when eaten.
As soon as Ye Hua took a bite, his eyes widened uncontrollably, but he was still chewing and had no time to speak.
Jiang Qiuyi was so anxious that she kept asking, "Mom, how is it? Is it delicious?
"Don't just eat sweet and sour pork, try other dishes too. Or let me try it myself?"
Ye Hua ignored his daughter's anxiety and tried several dishes he was familiar with first.
I have to say, even if it’s the same dish, Mrs. Ye’s hands act like magic.
The dishes he made not only looked good, but most importantly, the taste was very different from that of local chefs.
Mrs. Ye watched Ye Hua nervously as he tasted the food.
The remaining dishes were all ones that Ye Hua had never eaten.
"What are these dishes?"
"This is Tiger Skin Knuckle, the one next to it is called Dry-fried Fish, and the one in the middle is Golden Phoenix."
Ye Hua usually likes to eat fish, but he has never eaten it cooked like this.
I saw a big carp with layers of cuts on its body. After the pieces of fish meat were exposed, they were fried several times until crispy, and finally seasoned and drizzled with sauce.
The fish meat was easily separated from the fish body, and the first thing you tasted was the sweet and sour flavor.
As soon as I chewed it, I heard a crisp crackling sound in my mouth, which shows how crispy the outer layer of the fish meat was fried.
The fish skin was extremely flavorful, and the fish meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This carp cooking method, which Ye Hua had never eaten before, captured Ye Hua's heart in an instant.
She felt that there was no need to try other dishes, as she was already very satisfied with Mrs. Ye’s cooking skills!
Even if other dishes are still cooked in the old style, as long as this dry-fried fish is included, the return banquet for my daughter will be enough to stand out among relatives, friends and fellow villagers.
Because he was enjoying the dry-fried fish, Ye Hua did not continue to try the other dishes, but invited everyone else to sit down and eat together.
As soon as Jiang Qiuyi sat down, he picked up his chopsticks and reached directly for the plate of white, tender and plump dishes, which he hadn't even understood from the beginning.
"Sister Ye, what kind of dish is this? I've never seen it before."
Mrs. Ye hurriedly introduced: "This is snow-coated red bean paste. The outside is made of eggs, and the inside is filled with red bean paste. I also sprinkled a little white sugar, so it can be considered a dessert.
"I will use this to wish my sister Qiuyi a sweet and happy life in the future."
When Jiang Qiuyi heard this, she was naturally delighted.
But he was afraid that Ye Hua would scold him again, so he tried his best to keep the corners of his mouth steady, and lowered his head to look at the white dumpling in his bowl.
To make this dish both beautiful and delicious requires a lot of skill.
The snow-covered bean paste made by Mrs. Ye is not only soft and plump in shape, but also white like cotton balls.
The outer layer of egg white is as fluffy as clouds, and the white sugar sprinkled on it looks like snowflakes falling from the sky, landing on the clouds, sparkling and glittering.
Jiang Qiuyi finally had enough of admiring it and took a bite of the snowball, revealing a little bean paste inside.
She didn't know how to describe the fluffy texture and sweet taste.
Only those who have tasted this dish themselves can understand.
"Mom, sister-in-law, please try this snow-covered bean paste. It's really delicious."
Jiang Qiuyi didn't care whether she would be scolded or not. The food was so delicious that she almost wanted to cry.
Of all the dishes on the table, what Mrs. Jiang was more interested in was the dish of cold-boiled cabbage hearts.
Cabbage is the most common vegetable eaten at home every winter.
But because they ate too much, even if she racked her brains to change the cooking method, the family still got tired of it before the Chinese New Year and no one wanted to eat it anymore.
However, Mrs. Ye’s dish of cold-mixed cabbage hearts not only tastes refreshing, but the cabbage hearts are also crisp, a taste she has never tasted before.
