Chapter 45 Four Lucky Bags
Wen Zhenyi smiled and shook his head: "It's not a big deal, it's still early, and once the ingredients are prepared, it won't be too difficult to make."
"Yi Yi, the duck is ready." Wen Chengwen's loud voice came into the kitchen.
Wen Zhenyi kept cooking: "Dad, please help me bring the duck in." He looked at the cook Feng and said: "Aunt Feng, boil the salted duck eggs. I will need them later."
Cook Feng wiped her hands and immediately asked the servants to light another stove and start cooking the salted duck eggs she had bought.
Wen Zhenyi finished the carving in his hand and placed it in the water beside him.
Looking at the duck in the basin, ready to debone it.
Ma Yinghe actually carved the flower, but it wasn't as delicate or pretty, and a little rough. But for a first time, it was already very good.
Wen Zhen took one look at the flowers in her hand and gave her a thumbs up: "Mom, you are quite talented in carving flowers."
Ma Yinghe felt a little embarrassed by her daughter's praise: "Yi Yi, what are you going to do?"
Wen Zhenyi cut a knife on the duck's back, and then she just pinched here and pressed there with her hands, and the duck frame appeared in her hands.
Ma Yinghe looked at her in shock: "How did you do that?"
"Mom, this is a technical job, please watch carefully." Wen Zhenyi didn't plan to teach her later, so it was appropriate to teach her now.
Ma Yinghe watched carefully from the side. The movements were not difficult, as long as the method was mastered: "I'll try it."
Wen Zhenyi brought her a duck: "Here."
After looking at it for a long time, Mrs. Wen felt that she could not learn it, so she went to do something else.
Wen Zhenyi did not waste the duck bones and prepared them to make broth for a bowl of longevity noodles.
The boneless duck meat is marinated for one or two hours after adding salt, cooking wine, green onion and other seasonings.
When Shen Hanxing came to the kitchen, it was already noon. The big kitchen was not preparing food today, and all the food was prepared by their own small kitchens.
The kitchen was still busy. The servants and the people from the Wen family were all busy with their tasks, and the preparations were not delayed at all.
Aunt Li took the time to make noodles for everyone, so we could just eat something simple to get by at noon.
Wen Zhenyi was sitting on a stool in the yard, eating noodles with his head down. He saw a shadow appear in front of him and looked up at him, without even finishing the noodles in his mouth.
Shen Hanxing looked at her with some amusement: “You’re eating now.”
"Slurp." Wen Zhen slurped the noodles in his mouth and swallowed them in two or three gulps, almost choking. "Cough cough."
Without thinking, Shen Hanxing reached out and patted her back gently: "Eat slowly."
Wen Zhenyi finally recovered: "Have you eaten?"
Shen Hanxing withdrew his hand and sat opposite her: “We’ll eat in Lesheng Yard.”
When Wen Zhen heard him say he had eaten, he was slightly surprised: "Can you eat now?"
"One bite."
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Aren't you hungry?"
"It doesn't look very appetizing."
"I'll make you something to eat after I finish eating." Then he started to eat with big mouthfuls.
Shen Hanxing looked at the way she ate, and then looked at the noodles in her bowl which were not very tasty. Why did she feel hungry?
Wen Zhenyi didn't notice any difference in his gaze. He just wanted to finish the meal quickly and get him something to eat, so that he wouldn't lose his appetite after working so hard.
Mrs. Wen saw her enter the kitchen and then started to make something, a little confused: "Yi Yi, aren't you full?"
Wen Zhen didn't even raise his head: "No, I'm making something to eat for Brother Shen."
"Han Xing is here?"
"Well, stay in the yard." As he said that, he made a few four-happiness blessing bags for her. The ingredients were all prepared, and he just had to fry some stuffing in the pan.
Shen Hanxing looked at the things on the plate in her hand, looking quite cute: "What is this?"
Wen Zhenyi handed him the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I only made four of these four lucky bags for you. You must finish them all."
Shen Hanxing was a little embarrassed, but looking at her serious expression, he could only say, "I'll try my best."
Wen Zhenyi knew his appetite, so the fillings in this four-happiness bag were not much, they just looked large.
Shen Hanxing took a bite and saw that there were vegetables and meat in it. It seemed that everything was included: "Is your head full of these delicious things?"
“Not all of them are delicious, but I just like making them.”
Chen Hanxing ate slowly and carefully, like an elegant nobleman.
It was the first time that Wen Zhenyi watched him eat so seriously. He found that watching him eat was quite enjoyable, except that he ate too little.
After eating two, Chen Hanxing couldn't eat anymore, and his handsome face looked a little melancholy.
Wen Zhenyi reached out and took the plate from him: "If you can't eat it, don't force yourself. I was just kidding."
Shen Hanxing didn’t want to waste her hard work: “I want to try again.”
Wen Zhenyi tilted his head and looked at him: "Why don't you save some space to try the birthday banquet I'm making tonight? I'm afraid you'll be too full now and won't be so kind as to eat the food I cook tonight."
Chen Hanxing looked at the two remaining Four Happiness Lucky Bags on the plate: "It's just a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a pair of white little hands appear on the plate, picked up the Four Happiness Bag from the plate and stuffed it into their mouths.
Wen Zhenyi had something stuffed in his mouth and said vaguely, "This way it won't be wasted." Then he took the plate and chopsticks from his hand.
Shen Hanxing was a little stunned.
Wen Zhenyi didn't think about whether it was suitable or not. She just thought that since she didn't want to waste it, she might as well try it herself to see how the filling tasted.
After lunch, the kitchen became busy again. Some preparations had been done and the broth in the pot was ready.
Shen Hanxing did not go into the kitchen to disturb them while they were working, but chose a corner where he could see the kitchen and sat down quietly.
Wen Zhenyi opened the lid of the pot and saw that the broth had turned golden yellow and had a rich aroma.
The ingredients here are all pollution-free, and the food they make tastes absolutely amazing.
The white casseroles have been washed and placed on the table. She is now going to start the last step of making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Debone the chicken and bacon, put them into the casserole, then add ginger slices, bamboo shoots, shark fin, shark fin and other ingredients layer by layer, with abalone on top.
Season with broth, add it to the casserole, cover it with a lid, and steam it in a steamer for one and a half hours to allow the aroma of all the ingredients to blend in.
The duck has been marinated for enough time, so it’s time to start making the egg yolk duck rolls. This step is not difficult, so it’s left to the three cooks to complete.
Changshengjidi is made of fried dough sticks, peanuts, walnuts, a little ginseng, etc., and its shape is no different from real ginseng.
Wen Yongnan looked at the ginseng on the plate and couldn't tell for a moment whether it was real ginseng or fake: "Is this fake?"
