Chapter 204 Xiang's eyebrows are about to fall off
In the kitchen, Shen Huazheng was preparing ingredients for hot dry noodles.
After returning from Shanglin Paddock, Princess Lejia had become very familiar with helping Chen Huazheng.
When Princess Lejia heard Shen Huazheng say that this food had a lot to do with her favorite sesame, she also went into the kitchen.
She and Zhou Ying stood aside, watching Shen Huazheng busying herself.
Shen Huazheng poured sesame paste into the bowl, and a strong sesame aroma immediately filled her nose.
She looked at the sesame paste in the bowl and found it was a little too thick.
Shen Huazheng asked Qingzhi to get sesame oil, pour it into the bowl, and then stir it gently with chopsticks.
Princess Lejia was puzzled: "Zhengzheng, why do you add sesame oil to sesame paste?"
Chen Huazheng: "The sesame paste is too thick, add some sesame oil to make it thinner. It will also taste better when mixed with noodles."
If the sesame paste is too thick, the noodles will easily clump together and the taste will not be so delicate.
Use the original soup to make the original food. If the sesame paste is too thick, it is best to dilute it with sesame oil.
The best ratio between the two is 1:1
Princess Lejia nodded: "I see."
Zhou Ying, who was standing aside, also silently wrote down what Shen Huazheng said.
After preparing the sesame paste, Chen Huazheng lit another pot, and when the water boiled, she threw a handful of alkaline noodles into the pot.
The originally stiff noodles suddenly became soft as soon as they entered the boiling pot.
While the noodles were cooking, Shen Huazheng stood aside, stirring the noodles in the pot from time to time with chopsticks to break them up, prevent them from sticking to the pot, and ensure that each noodle was heated evenly.
When the noodles were 80% cooked, she scooped out the alkaline noodles with a colander, drained the water, and poured them into a large porcelain bowl. Then she poured a spoonful of cooking oil into the bowl.
Adding cooked oil can lock the moisture inside the noodles, so that when you dust them later, they won't break due to being too dry.
Qingzhi followed Shen Huazheng's instructions, holding a chopstick in each hand, inserted the chopsticks into the noodles, scooped up a bunch of noodles at the same time, and then gently shook them off.
While Qingzhi was shaking the dough, Qingtang took a fan and fanned the dough vigorously, trying to dry out the moisture on the surface of the dough.
Chen Huazheng explained to Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia: "This is called dusting the noodles. It is a critical step. It can make the noodles distinct and not stick together. It will also be chewier when eaten."
Qingzhi Qingtang dusted the noodles, and after the noodles had cooled completely, Chen Huazheng boiled the water in the pot and put the noodles into the colander.
Put it in boiling water three times and then out three times until the noodles are fully cooked.
Noodles cooked using the "three in, three out" method will have a more chewy and elastic texture.
Shen Huazheng put the cooked alkaline noodles into a large porcelain bowl, and poured in a spoonful of bone soup, a spoonful of brine, and a spoonful of diluted sesame paste in turn, and stirred them thoroughly with chopsticks.
Let each noodle be evenly coated with soup and sesame paste, and finally sprinkle with the prepared fried peanuts and spicy diced radish, and the hot dry noodles are ready.
As the hot dry noodles were finished, an overbearing aroma filled the kitchen. The fragrance spread so far that even the servants who were sweeping outside the kitchen could smell it.
Everyone sniffed hard, the gluttony in their stomachs rising to their throats.
Oh my God, what delicious food is the county lady making again?
Just smelling this scent is so fragrant that it makes your eyebrows fall off.
Princess Lejia swallowed her saliva. She had grown taller during this period, and her waist seemed to have become... a little thicker.
I originally wanted to eat less at each meal, but now it seems that I can’t do it.
Such delicious hot dry noodles, she must eat at least two bowls! !
…
The waiter brought a large pot of pickled cabbage to the table: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the pickled fish you ordered. Please enjoy your meal."
As soon as the lid was opened, a strong and fresh fragrance rose along with the hot air and tried hard to drill into the nose.
Xie Yanqing and Yun Ruo looked at the big pot in front of them. The soup was golden in color, and there were slices of soft, tender, white fish.
There are some pickled vegetables floating around, which smell sour, fragrant, fresh and spicy, and are very tempting.
Xie Yanqing picked up a piece of fish for Yun Ruo, picked up another piece for himself, and started eating.
As soon as you take a bite of the pickled fish, the delicious taste of the fish mixed with a sour and spicy flavor explodes on the tip of your tongue.
The fish meat doesn't have a single bone in it. It's tender and smooth, and doesn't taste fishy at all.
When you chew it, it feels like it is melting in your mouth.
One can't help but close his eyes and feel the indescribable wonderful taste in his mouth.
Ahhh, it’s so delicious!!!
Xie Yanqing ate a few slices of fish in a row, then used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of the soup that the waiter had just poured into their bowls and put it into his mouth.
The soup is rich but not greasy at all.
The fragrant and smooth soup flows down the throat with an extreme sweetness and enters the stomach.
If you savor it carefully, the delicious taste seems to linger on the tip of your tongue, making you linger.
Xie Yanqing was slightly stunned. The sauerkraut fish soup base was even more delicious than the usual soup that had been stewed for several hours.
Yun Ruo ate the pickled fish bite after bite and couldn't stop eating.
She had never eaten such delicious fish before. The fish was tender and the soup was fresh. Even the sauerkraut in it was a highlight.
The sauerkraut is crisp and delicious, and the fish is smooth and tender; the two complement each other.
Gently chew the delicacies in your mouth, and the rich taste will emerge one by one. The deliciousness of the fish and the sour fragrance of the sauerkraut are intertwined, forming a perfect taste symphony on the tip of your tongue.
Originally, I just planned to try a little to test the flavor and save some space to go to other restaurants to try other food.
Unexpectedly, while eating, Xie Yanqing and Yun Ruo asked the waiter to add more rice.
With this pot of sour and spicy pickled fish, each of them can eat a big bowl of rice.
Anyway, there isn't much room left in my stomach, so I might as well eat as much as I can.
When you see other foods you like, be restrained and don’t eat too much.
If you really can’t eat anymore, pack up the rest of the food and take it home.
…
Bowls of pre-seasoned hot dry noodles were brought to the table by the maids. The noodles were crisp and distinct, the sauce was rich, and the spicy radish cubes were a pleasing red. Just looking at them made one's appetite growl.
After smelling the fragrance again, everyone, including Zhou, could no longer sit still.
Zhou looked at Chen Huazheng: "Zheng'er, what kind of noodles is this?"
Shen Huazheng: "Mom, this is hot dry noodles."
After a pause, she added: "Hot dry noodles are the same as scallion oil noodles. You have to stir them evenly before eating."
Winter came not long after the autumn hunt. The weather took a sharp turn for the worse in the past few days and became much colder.
The hot dry noodles in front of you are steaming hot, and just looking at them makes you feel warm.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started stirring the noodles in their bowls.
Although the sesame paste mixed with sesame oil looks thick, it is not difficult to stir. Each noodle is soaked up with the bone broth and becomes extra smooth.
Just stir a few times and the sesame paste will blend into the noodles.
The originally light yellow alkaline noodles were dyed a little darker by the sauce color, which was very tempting.
Princess Lejia couldn't wait to pick up a piece of hot dry noodles covered with sauce with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
The noodles are delicate and smooth. When you eat them mixed with the sauce, an amazing sesame aroma suddenly bursts out on the tip of your tongue and slowly spreads in your mouth.
What follows is salty, fresh, spicy... and a faint sweetness.
As you chew, various flavors come one after another, making you feel very satisfied.
Zhou Ying ate half a bowl of hot dry noodles, then picked up a piece of spicy radish and started eating it with a "crunching" sound.
The spicy radish cubes are crispy and delicious, very appetizing. Eating a piece of it can also help to relieve the slightly sweet taste of the sesame paste.
Zhou also buried her head in the hot dry noodles in her bowl, eating so absorbedly that she didn't say a word.
Pick up a piece of noodles covered with sauce with chopsticks and put it into your mouth, and your mouth will be immediately filled with the fragrant, salty and fresh taste.
The noodles absorbed the sweetness of the bone broth and tasted delicate, smooth and chewy.
As you chew, the chewy noodles and the rich sesame paste intertwine in your mouth.
Salty, fresh, spicy, smooth, chewy, mellow...all kinds of tastes impact the taste buds.
The various completely different flavors and the chewy texture of the noodles blend perfectly together, which is really temptingly fragrant and refreshingly spicy.
The more you chew it, the more fragrant and tasty it becomes. It is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.
It makes people want to savor it bite by bite, and they can't stop eating it at all.
In addition to hot dry noodles for lunch, Shen Huazheng also had someone prepare winter melon meatball soup.
Eat a few chopsticks of hot dry noodles and then drink a sip of soup, and you will feel refreshed and relieve the greasiness.
The sweet soup slowly flows from the mouth into the throat, washing away some of the salty and spicy feeling in the mouth.
The saltiness and spiciness gradually fade away, leaving only the unique sweetness of the winter melon and the delicious taste of the pork meatballs.
After finishing a bowl of hot dry noodles and drinking the soup in the soup bowl, everyone suddenly felt warm from the throat to the stomach, and even the whole body, and felt extremely comfortable.
Princess Lejia leaned back in her chair contentedly, not wanting to move at all.
What Zheng Zheng said makes sense. If you want to shape your body, dieting is useless. The key is to move.
Therefore, there is no need for such plans as dieting and body shaping to exist.
It’s better to cancel it.
