Chapter 293 Dinner at the Farm
"Okay, why not? It's already very good to have this effect at the initial trial stage. It will be even better when you gain experience and gradually improve it." Yue Ning said to him.
Yang Yonggen smiled widely. Just then, Ge Yueqin was holding Leilei and Lu Chunmei was holding Yuanbao and walking into the cafeteria. He happily greeted them: "Yueqin, Ningning said this foie gras is good!"
"Right! Let's call Teacher Lu later. She will definitely be happy."
Lei Lei's eyes widened at this moment, Qiao Junxian clapped his hands: "Brother, hug me?"
The little guy opened his arms and rushed towards Qiao Junxian.
Yue Ning looked around and said, "Huh? Why haven't Xiuxiu and A Biao come back yet?"
"I won't let Xiuxiu go alone. I asked A Biao to come back with her after get off work. The outside world is not peaceful right now. If a girl goes out alone, she will be robbed." Lu Chunmei said, "A Biao will change clothes and wash clothes after get off work. Xiuxiu will wait for him to come back together. If he is a quarter of an hour late, he will be here soon."
"Okay, I'll cook. It'll be ready for them to eat when they get back."
Lu Chunmei and Ge Yueqin went into the kitchen together. Yue Ning poured goose pieces, goose intestines, goose gizzards and bean curd skin into the pot and said to them, "Aunt Yueqin, help me watch the pot. The goose pieces are cooked. Just boil them and serve them. Sprinkle green garlic on them. Aunt Chunmei, take the bacon and salted chicken on the table out."
Lu Chunmei responded and was about to serve the dishes when Yuanbao ran in: "What did Sister Ningning make? Why does it smell so good?"
Lu Chunmei grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into her son's mouth. She gently kicked him and said, "Get out, get out, it's time to eat."
Yuanbao ate the meat and followed his mother out.
On the gas stove, Yue Ning put two casseroles on the stove, put oil in the casseroles, put garlic, onions and ginger on the bottom of the casserole, and then put the marinated fish pieces on the onions and ginger. On top, put green and red peppers and scallions, covered the lid, and let it bake.
She turned back, and Ge Yueqin poured the last spoonful of soup into the goose meat bowl, grabbed a handful of green garlic and red pepper shreds and placed them on top.
Lu Chunmei walked in quickly and carried out a large bowl of goose meat.
Lu Chunmei came back soon, and Yue Ning asked her to light the fire. Yue Ning quickly fried a plate of winter bamboo shoots and bacon. The bacon was the leftovers from the meat that had just been stewed.
The winter bamboo shoots were fried and the two casseroles were sizzling. Yue Ning poured rice wine on the casseroles and fire started to rise.
"Ningning, how can you waste wine like this? I can't even bear to drink this bottle of wine." Yang Zhongyi said with concern.
Yue Ning held a bottle of Jiujiang Double Distilled Tea in her hand, which she originally used to make Zhezhe Pot. Yue Ning smiled and said, "I'll buy you a box next time."
Yang Zhongyi shook his head: "No, no, I'll just make some rice wine myself."
Yue Ning turned off the fire and heard the sound of a bicycle outside. A Biao and Xiu Xiu, brother and sister, came in.
"Everyone is here. Wait for me to fry the potato pancakes and then we can eat."
Yue Ning fried some potato pancakes, took off her apron, and walked out with Lu Chunmei, carrying the potato pancakes.
Qiao Junxian helped Yue Ning pull out the stool. Yue Ning put the potato pancake on the table and looked at Qiao Junxian: "When he went to the northwest to visit me, the first meal he had was potato pancake."
"Wow, so romantic! The first time Young Master Qiao meets Ningning, he eats the meal made by Ningning herself?" Zhao Jiaying said.
Qiao Junxian was opening a can of Coke for Yue Ning. When she mentioned eating potato cakes, he immediately handed the can to her: "Open it yourself."
Yue Ning took the can of Coke and opened it himself. Qiao Junxian said, "My first meal was a potato pancake made by an auntie. The potato pancake was dry and salty. We didn't allow food to be wasted at home. There was not even saliva on the table. I forced myself to eat it."
"You didn't force yourself to eat it, and you burped after eating. I poured you some water." Yue Ning helped him recall.
Lu Chunmei at the next table heard it and said, "No way? How can potato pancakes be bad?"
Yue Ning turned to Lu Chunmei and said, "What if it was done by Aunt Qiaomei?"
"Does Li Qiaomei know how to cook?" Lu Chunmei said, "Li Qiaomei is the luckiest person in our team. Women cook for everyone else, but her husband cooks for her."
Yue Ning stood up, holding a Coke, and said, "Because of me, my fellow villagers from Xiaoyanggou in the northwest and my classmates from Gangcheng University have the opportunity to sit together. Let's drink to this fate."
Yue Ning clinked glasses with everyone, and everyone sat down to eat together.
Pang Qiang impatiently stretched out his chopsticks to the goose pieces, picked up a piece of goose meat with skin, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yue Ning said: "It's a little spicy."
"It's okay, it's okay! Not too spicy and very fragrant." Pang Qiang said vaguely while eating goose meat.
"Yes, it's delicious." Zhao Jiaying said it was delicious, but after eating a piece of goose meat, she, who never eats spicy food, started to burp. She drank two sips of water before she recovered.
Yue Ning used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish for Zhao Jiaying: "You should eat fish!"
"Good." Zhao Jiaying picked up the fish and took a small bite. Her eyes lit up. "Such tender fish. I've never eaten it before."
"We call it pliers fish here, and other places call it catfish. Yangtze River catfish, knife fish, puffer fish, and Yangtze River shad are known as the four delicacies, and are known as 'Xishi milk'. They are not often seen in port cities."
Yue Ning thought about his previous life when the snapper became a kind of fish with good quality and low price in the market. At that time, the real one had been replaced by the fake one, which was the spotted catfish introduced for breeding in South America.
After hearing what Yue Ning said, everyone reached out their chopsticks to the fish stew. Yue Ning was quick to save a piece of fish for Qiao Junxian who was eating goose meat. This guy usually loves to eat fish, but today he was concentrating on eating goose meat.
Because his grandmother's family is from Singapore, he has been used to eating hot and sour food since he was a child. At this moment, he felt that the slightly spicy Gushi goose pieces were just right. The salty and fragrant flavor of the cured meat was stimulated by the chili pepper, and the fat between the goose meat fibers seemed particularly rich in the spicy taste. He scooped a spoonful of milky white soup, and the butter floating on the soup surface was dyed orange by the chili pepper. After drinking it, the warmth spread along the esophagus to the stomach. It is indeed suitable for winter.
He swallowed it and complained to Yue Ning: "How come I've never seen you cook such a delicious goose?"
Before Yue Ning could answer, Zhou Mingxuan said, "Second Young Master Qiao, Ning Ning knows how to cook so many dishes. If she cooks for you every day, it will take you many years to be able to eat all of them, right?"
"Second Master Qiao, how would it feel to have a girlfriend who is a chef?"
"You'll get fat." Pang Qiang said as he continued to pick up food.
Zhao Jiaying said unhappily, "That's you. In order to satisfy Ning Ning, Mr. Qiao signed up for a gym membership and worked out, okay?"
When the past was mentioned, Qiao Junxian just focused on eating fish and didn't want to say more.
"Chunmei! Have you learned how to make this goose meat from Ningning? We will have more goose meat in our farm in the future." Yang Zhongyi said to his wife, "If you make it, put more chili in it."
"I'm not Li Qiaomei, who can cook, but you can't expect me to cook like Ningning, right? Her cooking skills have been passed down from generation to generation." Lu Chunmei said unhappily, "You just drank some cat urine and you're having wild thoughts."
Yue Ning turned to him and said, "Uncle Zhongyi, when the processing plant opens, these geese will not be wasted anywhere. In the future, duck and goose feathers will be collected and processed to make down quilts and down jackets. Goose liver will be sold at a high price, and goose legs and wings will be divided into pieces and provided to restaurants and vegetable markets."
"What I thought was that foreigners are so wasteful. They only eat the liver of such a big goose. It turns out that other parts can be eaten as well?" Yang Zhongyi said.
"Of course! This is a big business." Yue Ning looked at Lu Chunmei with a smile, "We are doing big business, so we have to pay attention to our image and can't hang bacon at the door."
"Got it, got it." Lu Chunmei threw a piece of bone from her bowl onto the floor of the cafeteria. Others did the same, throwing bones onto the floor. Several dogs were gnawing on the bones. The cafeteria was still new, and the floor was made of terrazzo. It had only been a short time, but it was already covered with oil stains of varying depths.
Yue Ning smiled. What does she know?
However, these habits cannot be changed overnight. Didn’t I also follow the local customs when I was in the northwest? Take your time!
Qiao Junxian scooped two more spoonfuls of soup and took a sip. He asked, "Ningning, can you make a salty and spicy goose noodle soup? I think this soup is a good base for noodles."
"Yes! I think it tastes good too!" said Zhou Mingxuan.
"If Ning Xiaochu had it, I would keep buying it."
Yue Ning scooped a spoonful of soup and took a sip. The soup was delicious and slightly spicy. It was indeed a dish that was easy to explode. Goose liver is made from geese. The profit is recovered after selling the goose liver. The goose meat is cut and sold as an additional profit. If Sister Huiyi can use these geese to make instant noodles, the cost is low and the taste is also good. It is a good business.
"This goose soup should be paired with our Northwestern trouser belt noodles." Xiuxiu heard it and followed.
"It's a good idea." Yue Ning nodded.
While eating and chatting, Yue Ning watched Pang Qiang put the last piece of potato cake dipped in goose soup into his mouth and burped with satisfaction.
Seeing Yue Ning looking at him, Pang Qiang lowered his head to look at his belly and said, "I'll go get a gym membership when I return to Hong Kong City."
After having a good meal and a few drinks, it was getting late, so they decided to go back to Pengcheng Hotel.
Xiuxiu accompanied Yue Ning out of the cafeteria. Yue Ning saw A Biao and waved, "A Biao, come here."
She and A Biao grew up together. She was an outsider and had the identity of a "bastard", so A Biao protected her a lot.
Ah Biao came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
"You can!" Yue Ning said with a smile.
Ah Biao was a little confused and looked at her: "What's the matter?"
"Have you found a partner?" Yue Ning asked him quietly.
Ah Biao's face flushed as he looked at his mother: "Mom..."
"I told Ningning, but I didn't tell anyone else." Lu Chunmei looked innocent.
A Biao was helpless: "It's still there!"
"What are you talking about? You obviously like me so much." Xiuxiu leaned on Yue Ning, "The vanishing cream you gave me was taken away by him."
"I'll buy it for you next time." Yue Ning said to Xiuxiu.
Ah Biao heard it and immediately said, "Buy one for me too."
Yue Ning burst out laughing.
