Chapter 70
The fish soup over there is also delicious.
Su Guoer used filter cloth to filter out all the fish bones and minced meat, and repeated it several times until there was no impurities in the soup, and then put in six prepared fish balls.
Stir and cook in a casserole for a while.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Remove from the pan.
Yunniang had already prepared the rice on a tray, and Su Guoer brought over the two dishes.
She also carried the remaining two dishes to serve the guests.
There was no fear at all.
Su Guoer is confident in her craftsmanship. Maybe she cannot completely replicate the taste of different places, but she can make sure it is roughly the same. The taste is delicious and people like it, and that is enough.
Besides, a thousand chefs have a thousand different skills. Even with the same recipe, the dishes produced may not be exactly the same. There are also differences in the heat, personal processing methods, and the amount of seasoning.
It all depends on the chef's personal feeling and skill.
The dishes have been served.
Four dishes were neatly placed in front of the adult.
Without picking up his chopsticks, he first picked up the spoon beside him and scooped a spoonful of the Yunjiang fish ball soup to taste it.
Unexpectedly, the soup completely captured his heart as soon as he took a sip.
He was even more amazed when he took another bite of the fish balls.
"The broth is delicious, with just the right amount of saltiness. Most importantly, you can actually taste the flavor of ocean fish in these fish balls. How did you do that?"
He raised his eyes to look at Su Guoer, his eyes were as deep as the sea, but there was no extra expression on his face, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, but his words were praising Su Guoer.
Su Guoer said calmly, "Southern Jiangsu is far away. Even if we use ice to transport this sea fish, it may not be able to be delivered to Bianjing in a fresh state, and naturally it is impossible to restore the fresh taste of this live fish."
"But Bianjing was a prosperous city, and there were a lot of dried fish. I soaked all the dried fish I collected, removed the bones and meat, and boiled them into soup. This became the mixed fish soup that every household in southern Jiangsu loved to drink."
"But the fish soup is bland after all, so I paired it with some smooth fish balls made from chopped fresh fish meat and a little bit of sea fish meat. This is how the Yunjiang fish balls, a dish that blends the flavor of mixed fish soup, are made."
"You can drink the soup and eat the meat at the same time. The taste of the soup makes you forget the graininess of the dried fish meat, and the chewy texture of the fish balls makes you forget the stale taste of the soup. With this balance, it's hard to tell which is real or fake, which is good or bad."
In other words: it is difficult to cook the delicious flavor of sea fish soup if the sea fish is not freshly caught.
But Su Guoer solved this problem perfectly by adding a lot of seasonings. She made the seaside fish soup, which could not be served on the tables of Bianjing people, successfully integrated it into the lives of Bianjing people by making it look real.
The taste is pretty much the same.
It is extremely delicious, the fish balls are tender and smooth, and the soup is delicious.
This is what a good cook is!
Wu Qingli, standing nearby, was practically drooling. Just by listening to the explanation, he could already imagine how delicious the fish ball soup would be, and how chewy the fish balls were, seemingly easy to swallow with just a few chews.
It's a pity that he can't eat it yet.
Lord Liao nodded without saying anything. He just used a spoon to scoop a handful of spicy tofu on the side and put it on the rice.
After digging up and down, a spoonful of rice covered with spicy soup was put into the mouth, topped with some smooth tofu and chopped green onions.
This bite instantly awakened his tongue, and the spicy taste hit the tip of his tongue, making him want to take another bite.
When he looked up, he saw Wu Qingli's greedy eyes staring at him, so he said, "You should eat something too."
He was already ravenous.
Wu Qingli: "Hey!"
After saying that, he no longer cared about his master, and hurried to the kitchen to ask the apprentice to serve him a bowl of rice. He then took a pair of chopsticks and a spoon, brought another plate, and returned to his master.
He directly scooped up a fish ball, and also scooped a large spoonful of spicy tofu, squirrel fish that had been eaten, etc. and put them on his plate.
Don't blame him for being greedy, in fact, the adults at home can't finish all the dishes. He just helps to share a little, and the adults won't say anything.
"This squirrel fish is good, sweet and sour, and very appetizing."
He said this when he saw the adults took two more bites of the squirrel fish.
Finally, I took a spoon and served the adult a bowl of shredded chicken and kidney bean porridge. I watched the adult drink up the small bowl of kidney bean porridge.
Wu Qingli couldn't help but feel happy.
My master finally decided to eat well.
This bowl of porridge saved his life.
You have to know that the master has a poor appetite on weekdays. It is rare for him to come across food he likes. Also, due to his busy official duties, most of the food he eats all day is very unpalatable food sold outside.
For example, the mutton soup under the pontoon bridge.
If he hadn't been in a hurry to attend court, he wouldn't have bought such disgusting food for the master. That being said, the master couldn't actually eat much.
Whenever I buy something, I usually ask him to eat it.
But today, the adult ate a lot of porridge, almost catching up with his daily meal intake.
There was also the braised pork made by Su Guoer, and he ate a few chopsticks.
Wu Qingli now felt that Su Guoer was his lucky star. She had solved a problem that had troubled him for a long time.
Maybe later like this??
He could come over at lunchtime and order a few dishes to bring back for the adults. Who made the adults love the food? And why did they eat so much?
He made up his mind and would do so from now on!
Hahaha, Wu Qingli is very happy that he finally doesn’t have to be chased by the lady and asked whether the master has eaten well today.
Although Su Guoer didn't know why he was eating so happily, she felt extremely satisfied that someone liked the food she cooked.
Besides, he eats so deliciously.
Compared to his master, all the dishes ended up in his stomach.
The gentleman took only a few bites and then stopped eating. Wu Qingli devoured all three dishes and asked Su Guoer to pack up the braised pork to go.
"We can't waste food, but I really can't eat any more. Can you pack up the braised meat for me, young lady?"
Then he gave Su Guoer twenty taels of silver.
Su Guoer took it but felt a little nervous.
Wu Qingli said: "Don't worry, it's a reward from the Lord, just take it."
"Although my master doesn't like to talk, he really likes the food you cook. He will definitely come again in the future. Next time, I hope you will do your best."
Su Guoer: "Of course." She was even less articulate than the adult, but thanks to her good craftsmanship, she was not buried.
"Young lady, you're so young, yet you can cook so many dishes? Where are you from? You're not from Bianjing, right?"
That adult was very smart, and this was actually the purpose of his coming.
It is unbelievable that a young girl can cook such delicious dishes, unless the skills are inherited from her family or she is a disciple of a great chef.
But there was no master chef in Bianjing City who was proficient in all kinds of dishes, so he became suspicious.
