Chapter 25 Cabbage Wonton
Jiang Zhi added a spoonful of salt, and then threw in half of the lean and fatty minced meat she had just chopped.
That's right, the most crucial step in stir-frying the filling is that you can only stir-fry half of the filling.
Jiang Zhi naturally knew the reason:
Raw meat is naturally sticky, making the filling more cohesive; while cooked meat has a more granular texture and tastes better!
Of course, there is another explanation in the current context:
That's because, of course, cooked minced meat can have more seasonings added to remove the fishy smell, please!
Look, in just a short while, Jiang Zhi has added a small spoonful of white wine, two rings of soy sauce, and minced ginger and garlic all at once!
She refused to believe that it would still have a fishy smell after being stir-fried like this!
Sure enough, once the ingredients were cooked, the whole room was filled with the aroma of the sauce, completely masking the meaty smell.
At this point, Jiang Zhi added more meat sauce that had not yet been stir-fried and began kneading it like dough.
Once the filling had been kneaded into a ball, Jiang Zhi added the diced cabbage she had just cut into small pieces, kneaded it a few more times, and the wonton filling was finally ready.
*
At this time, the dough that Jiang Zhi had placed aside was almost ready to rise.
Yes, Jiang Zhi had already kneaded the dough before making the meat sauce.
Add three spoonfuls of salt to half a bowl of flour, then continuously add lukewarm water that is still a little hot to the touch. Knead it until smooth, then cover it with a damp cloth again and let it rise in the bowl.
At this moment, the waking-up process is complete.
Jiang Zhi then kneaded the dough into a long strip, and then cut it into equal-sized dough pieces.
Finally, roll it out with a wooden stick, and the thin wonton wrapper will come out!
After all that was done, it was time to wrap the wontons.
This is Jiang Zhi's forte!
If there were a bystander watching right now, they would definitely be shocked by Jiang Zhi's lightning-fast hand speed.
She first lightly tapped the water bowl next to her with her little finger, then circled it around, instantly wetting the thin edge of the wonton wrapper with water.
Then, pinch the spoon between your thumb and forefinger, and with a snap, the meat filling, just the right size, is scooped into the center of the wrapper.
At this moment, the other hand that had been supporting the wontons from below also began to exert force!
With a squeeze and a toss, before the blink of an eye, a wonton is wrapped up.
In the blink of an eye, the plate in front of Jiang Zhi was piled high with wontons.
Jiang Zhi was even making plans while wrapping the package.
Pei Ye, the You siblings, Gu Yuan, and herself—she planned to take care of these people this time.
That's right, even though she was having her period, she couldn't lose customers!
Anyway, making wontons isn't difficult. Jiang Zhi plans to teach them one by one later, how to season them, simmer them briefly, and they'll be absolutely delicious with the wontons!
Then she can use this wonton to rip off these rich young masters and ladies, and she'll make another fortune!
As Jiang Zhi pondered, a blush crept onto her previously pale face, making her appear more radiant.
His hand speed also became increasingly fast.
*
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Pei family was terrifyingly tense.
Pei Ye noticed that Jiang Zhi usually spent her free time reading miscellaneous books besides sleeping, so he specially bought her a few.
But who knew that after finally buying these precious books from the antique dealer, he returned home excitedly, only to find that the figure who had been leisurely sunbathing outside was nowhere to be seen.
Originally, this wasn't a big deal.
You Yi, who had been lounging at home doing nothing, heard the commotion and wanted to go over and offer a few words of comfort.
After all, besides cooking, Ms. Jiang also loves to wander around.
But before You Yi could even say a few words, Pei Ye, who was feeling flustered, had already hurriedly knocked on the door of the house Jiang Zhi was renting.
When You Yi caught up, Pei Ye had already opened the door to the room that Jiang Zhi hadn't locked, and the room was empty.
You Yi first glanced at the empty room, which seemed to have never been there before, and then looked at Pei Ye's slightly reddened eyes. The words of advice he wanted to say stuck in his throat.
Pei Ye isn't the most powerful among their playboy circle, so why does everyone respect him and call him "brother"?
This guy usually looks gentle and kind when he smiles, but when he gets ruthless, even Gu Yuan wouldn't dare to go against him with both hands.
then……
He thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but shudder. He suppressed the thought of trying to persuade her and quietly retreated towards the stairs.
Just as the atmosphere became tense and the two people upstairs dared not utter a sound, suddenly the Pei family's door was pushed open with a "bang".
*
Jiang Zhi walked in with a smile, carrying a large basin in her hands, which contained the wontons she had just wrapped.
She refused to believe that this wasn't enough to feed all of them!
As for the price, these people don't care anyway; they don't mind if it's expensive...
Thinking to herself, she kept her head down and occasionally flipped the wontons up and down to make sure the flour on them wouldn't stick together.
Therefore, as she walked and thought, she completely ignored You Yi's desperate reminder.
By the time Jiang Zhi realized what was happening, it was already too late.
Pei Ye had quietly stood in front of Jiang Zhi without her noticing, like a wall waiting for her to run into it.
Jiang Zhi was startled by this guy and quickly took a few steps back. Then, she leaned forward with some confusion and asked.
“Pei Ye, what happened to you today…”
As she continued speaking, Jiang Zhi became increasingly hesitant and somewhat embarrassed.
The reason was simple: finally, she spotted You Yi behind her, who was frantically giving her signals. Following his gaze, she looked over.
Well, when Jiang Zhi saw the empty room, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
*
Unable to think of a better solution in time, Jiang Zhi simply gave up.
She simply smiled and held up the large bowl of wontons in front of Pei Ye, chuckling as she changed the subject.
"I'll cook some more wontons for you guys later, and you can save some to have as a late-night snack..."
No one knew where Gu Yuan had come from, but at that moment he only saw Pei Ye's back and didn't see his dark, inky face at all.
Upon seeing the wontons, she was about to go and take them when she was interrupted by a voice.
"Boss Jiang, are you playing me for a fool?"
Pei Yehan said coldly, his face grim.
The single sound froze the atmosphere inside and outside the room.
*
Jiang Zhi looked up and met Pei Ye's gaze.
Jiang Zhi has never liked looking people in the eye. She's a gourmet, but she's always been a businesswoman. While her moral standards haven't sunk to the level of her peers who are full of lies, she's always liked to mix truth with falsehood and falsehood with truth.
Therefore, apart from the initial glance, Jiang Zhi rarely looks into other people's eyes.
But at this moment, she was forced to meet Pei Ye's gaze:
Pei Ye has a pair of light gray eyes. He usually likes to smile, so his light-colored eyes are not very noticeable.
But now, his face turned cold, his eyes reddened with anger, and his slightly rosy lips were unconsciously bitten until they turned white.
It's surprisingly tempting?
Cough cough cough, Jiang Zhi looked at the scene in front of her and forcibly interrupted her thoughts.
My lustful thoughts really came from the wrong place.
She silently reflected on herself for a moment, then comforted herself:
There's nothing we can do, that guy surnamed Pei just has an absolutely stunning face!
*
While Jiang Zhi, who seemed quite serious, was lost in her fantasies, Pei Ye was starting to lose his composure.
He had secretly glanced at the bronze mirror in the washroom from the corner of his eye, and only stopped secretly changing his posture after confirming that his current posture was indeed dignified.
But now, the guy he wanted to scare was actually standing there dumbfounded in front of him!
If Pei Ye was still rational when he first opened the door and saw the empty room, only feeling a sense of emptiness, then now, Pei Ye's anger has truly flared up!
*
Seeing the air conditioning across the street intensifying, You Yi, who wasn't directly in front of him, couldn't help but shiver. He hugged You Ling tightly, who had just finished her homework and was out for a walk. His eyes, looking at Jiang Zhi, were filled with helplessness and pleading.
You should do something about him!
Jiang Zhifang snapped out of her aimless daze, and with a quick glance, she simply shoved the wrapped wontons into the hands of the eye-catching Gu Yuan, and then sent her off to cook.
Then, You Yi stared in disbelief as Jiang Zhi smiled at him, then pulled Pei Ye into the room and said something to him.
The large, cold-faced refrigerator actually closed tightly. Although it didn't laugh as heartily as usual, at least the cold air was reduced a bit.
You Yi was completely dumbfounded.
*
When Jiang Zhi couldn't sit still any longer and scurried to the kitchen, You Yi secretly tugged at Pei Ye's sleeve.
"Brother Pei...? Has he been possessed?"
Pei Ye resumed his aloof posture, glanced at him sideways, and then forcefully shook off You Yi's hand that was holding his sleeve.
Then he hurriedly walked slowly towards the kitchen.
Only You Yi was left behind, dumbfounded and muttering to himself.
"No, brother, you..."
*
After dealing with Pei Ye, Jiang Zhi hurriedly went to the kitchen.
The reason is simple: cooking wontons doesn't require much skill. When she handed the wontons to Gu Yuan, she whispered a few words to him. The basic steps were to put water in first, then add salt, put the wontons in the boiling water, add a small bowl of water when rinsing the surface, and then take them out after they boiled again.
But there's a lot to consider when making wonton soup.
Jiang Zhi arrived just in time.
She quickly took four bowls out of the cupboard and poured them into them one by one:
Add a pinch of dried shrimp, seaweed, a small spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of salt, and finally a touch of soy sauce.
This is a common way to make soup for wontons.
But Jiang Zhi's wontons are so mouthwatering that they naturally have their own little tricks:
Just then, she took the pepper powder container out of her sleeve, tapped it lightly twice, and sprinkled some pepper powder into each bowl.
Finally, pour in the hot soup and the wontons in the hot soup. In an instant, the fresh aroma is irresistible and the fragrance is overflowing!
