Chapter 164: Because of a salted duck egg, the true face is revealed
"It's more comfortable to eat the food you cook. Let's cook it ourselves in the future. I felt like I hadn't eaten anything after finishing those three buns yesterday. It's not that I wasn't full, but I just didn't feel like my appetite was right, and I lost some of the joy of eating." Su Yuchen sighed after taking a bite of the pancake.
The six golden pancakes are a visually stunning sight. Orange-red shredded carrots and emerald green chopped scallions are evenly interspersed within the yellow pancakes, creating a vibrant and nutritious experience. One bite reveals the savory flavor of the egg, the sweetness of the carrots, and the subtle aroma of the scallions. The seasoning is also perfectly salty and fragrant.
After taking two bites of pancakes, pick up a piece of refreshing and tender lotus root with chopsticks. The slight sourness is mixed with the unique aroma of lotus root, and it has another kind of crisp taste.
"Okay, I'll make whatever my sister wants." Zhao Xiaojing smiled at Su Yuchen, who seemed to be enjoying her meal, and gently stirred the pumpkin porridge. "It's just that the porridge cools down too slowly. Otherwise, a mouthful of porridge, a side dish, and a salted duck egg would be absolutely delicious."
"Salted duck eggs, can we make them?" Su Yuchen became excited when he heard it.
Zhao Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, "I've never made it before, but if I get a chance I can learn how to pickle it and give it a try.
By the way, we can pickle some side dishes. In the future, we can cook porridge and pancakes for breakfast, or steam a batch of buns and freeze them when we have time. We can heat up two of them for breakfast and add some side dishes and salted duck eggs. It is convenient and delicious.
I just don’t know who knows how to pickle it, and who should I ask.”
"My mother can! Just wait!" Su Yuchen was very tempted by Zhao Xiaojing's suggestion and immediately took out his cell phone and dialed the number.
"Hey, you're not...!" Zhao Xiaojing was about to open her mouth to stop him when she heard the phone connected. A voice shouting "Hello" came from Su Yuchen's phone.
"Mom, don't you know how to make salted duck eggs, the kind with red yolks and oil? How do you make it?" Su Yuchen asked impatiently.
"Oh! The sun rises from the west, why are you asking this? Can you do it yourself? Last time I asked you to leave a day later so I could get it from your grandma's house, but you refused. All the duck eggs at your grandma's house were pickled by me, and you want to leave in a hurry!" Su Ma's loud voice came from the noisy environment opposite. Su Yuchen tilted his head back and silently turned down the volume of his phone.
"Oh, come on, just tell me how to do it, it's not me who does it!"
"Who will do it? Oh my girl, is she in a relationship? She needs to have a boyfriend?" Su Ma shouted excitedly.
"Mom, what the hell is going on? Why is your thinking so different from everyone else's?" Su Yuchen suddenly became anxious. "Zhao Xiaojing did it! Zhao Xiaojing!"
Zhao Xiaojing covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she didn't even eat the cake.
"Oh, Xiaojing." Su Ma suddenly said in a sullen tone, "This pickled duck egg is very simple. First, wash the duck eggs and dry them. Use more flour and salt to wash the duck eggs. Soak them for a while, brush them clean, dry them, and then..."
Getting to the point, Zhao Xiaojing listened carefully while turning on the recording on her mobile phone. The steps were indeed simple. After Su Ma finished speaking, Zhao Xiaojing nodded at Su Yuchen.
"Okay, got it. By the way, hang up." Su Yuchen saw that Zhao Xiaojing understood it after just one read, so he raised his hand and prepared to hang up.
"Wait a minute! Why are you calling at this time to ask about salted duck eggs? If you're not at work, you're just meddling in other people's business." Su Ma raised her voice again and yelled.
Su Yuchen was startled and looked at Zhao Xiaojing with wide eyes. He had forgotten about this!
Zhao Xiaojing had anticipated this and calmly held up her phone to show Su Yuchen the two words she had just written. Su Yuchen understood immediately and grinned at Zhao Xiaojing. "Mom, our company is having a team building today. I'm in the car right now. I just remembered this and asked. Hang up!"
"Team building, you don't even look for a partner and just play around every day! Don't call me next time if you don't look for a partner. I'm hanging up!" Mother Su cursed twice and hung up directly.
"I said you can't leave...
Don’t you think my mom is outrageous?!” Su Yuchen was hung up before she could finish her words. She looked at Zhao Xiaojing with frustration and asked.
Zhao Xiaojing laughed heartily for a while before answering, clutching her stomach. "I was just about to remind you that you should be at work at this hour, but you were too quick!
You've been pretending for so long, always calling at night, so why did a salted duck egg reveal your true colors today?
"That's because I was too greedy as you said. I thought of the salted duck eggs made by my mother. The egg yolk was red, oily and sandy, and it smelled so good. I forgot about it because I wanted to eat it so much!" Su Yuchen pouted and stirred the pumpkin porridge depressedly.
"Don't stir it, the temperature is just right, drink it quickly!" Zhao Xiaojing smiled, cleaned up her dishes and walked towards the kitchen first.
Yesterday, I checked Xiaozhi's stats and found that, in addition to the still-popular pork trotter rice, the three fresh vegetables, the braised chicken with mushrooms, and the beef brisket with potatoes also sold quite well and were the first to sell out. Customers also often asked for an extra spoonful of broth when ordering more rice, saying it was delicious when soaking it in the rice.
The pig's feet are braised a day in advance and need to be soaked overnight, so there is no way to change it according to the sales of the day. However, the other three dishes are prepared a lot more thanks to Xiaozhi's adjustments.
And for slow-cooked dishes like beef brisket with potatoes and braised chicken with mushrooms, you can actually make the amount for lunch and dinner at once in the morning. If you make a little more soup, the flavor will be better after soaking for an afternoon in the evening. The soup will be rich and the meat will be full of flavor.
After stewing the potatoes, beef brisket and chicken with mushrooms, Zhao Xiaojing began to do something behind the scenes with her back to Su Yuchen who was frying peanuts.
While slicing the meat yourself, secretly slice it using the shortcut module. After slicing, put them together in a bowl. Do it in small amounts and multiple times. It won’t be so obvious each time, but it saves half the time and energy.
Then follow the same procedure, pretending to rinse the ingredients a few times, and secretly use the module to clean them.
Before half past ten, all the dishes were ready. Zhao Xiaojing washed her hands carefully and went to the plain area to prepare the dessert.
Following Lu Hongwen's advice, we now make two types of sweet soup, hot and two types of iced. The iced ones are still fruit bowls and iced tofu pudding, while the hot ones are tangerine peel red bean paste and coconut milk meatballs.
Red bean paste needs to be cooked on the same day, but the taro balls and adazi in the colorful fruit bowl, as well as the sago and meatballs in the meatball salad, can be made for a few days at a time and frozen for storage. When making them, just take them out and cook them on the same day.
So now you just need to cook the red bean paste and then make the tofu pudding.
When Zhao Xiaojing turned the heat down from high to medium for cooking the red beans, Su Yuchen had also finished preparing. He washed his hands and came over, carefully scraping the soaked tangerine peel with a knife.
There is a layer of white pulp inside the dried tangerine peel. Scraping it off can remove the bitter taste of the dried tangerine peel without affecting the nutrition and unique sweetness of the dried tangerine peel itself.
After scraping it off, cut it into thin strips, wait until the red beans are cooked and the sand is removed before adding it into the pot and continuing to stew.
At eleven o'clock, Zhao Xiaojing turned down the heat for stewing the red beans and began to prepare Wen Jin's 33 orders. Su Yuchen also went to the hall to wait for the guests.
