Chapter 156 Mint Braised Vegetables
When we arrived at the kitchen, Huaguduo and Xu Bo had already started cooking because it took a long time to catch the snails.
Bai Mengmeng was soaked all over, which scared the two of them.
"Aren't you going to pick mint? Why are you all wet?"
Bai Mengmeng smiled shyly: "I also went to the river and found some snails."
She soaked the mint leaves in clean water, then found a basin, filled it with water, put the snails in it, and let the snails spit out the dirt.
Xiaoliu didn’t want to eat in the cafeteria before, so she decided to cook a dish every day during this period so that everyone could change their taste.
Today she decided to use mint to make two related dishes.
I will make mint fried pork ribs at noon and crispy red beans with mint in the evening.
…
She prepared the ribs in advance, and when Master Pi came over in the morning, she had already cleaned the ribs.
These ribs are bright red in color, of high quality, and exceptionally fresh, so Bai Mengmeng didn't blanch them.
Fresh ribs do not have a strong smell, so there is no need to remove the blood. The meat will be more fragrant when cooked this way.
She cut the ribs into small pieces, washed them with flour water, added onion and ginger water, marinated them slightly with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, starch, pepper, salt, sugar and other seasonings, and put them in the refrigerator for refrigeration.
Several hours have passed since we cleaned it up this morning.
She opened her phone and saw that the time was up, so she quickly heated the oil in a pan and put the ribs in.
Fried spareribs require a lot of oil, so they usually look greasy. However, after adding mint, the refreshing taste will alleviate this problem, leaving only a crispy fragrance.
Turn the high heat down to low and start frying slowly. When the ribs turn golden brown all over, Bai Mengmeng takes out a box of dried chilies that she grew and ground herself from the shelf.
The dry-fried spareribs always taste not so good without a little chili, not to mention that the dry chili made by myself is more spicy. When I was in Fenghuang County, it was well-known far and wide and customers loved it.
Sprinkle a handful of chili peppers into the oil pan, and immediately the spicy aroma will come out.
When the ribs are almost cooked, Bai Mengmeng sprinkles a handful of processed mint leaves and fries them together.
Suddenly there was a crackling sound, and a minty fragrance filled the kitchen.
"Right now!" Bai Mengmeng knew the time was just right, so she quickly picked up the colander and scooped the ribs and mint leaves into the plate.
The ribs on the plate looked browned, and although the mint leaves had curled up, they still looked green.
A rich meaty aroma, mixed with the fragrance of mint, is constantly amplified under the influence of high temperature, blending into a strong and domineering special smell.
And as time went on, it slowly spread throughout the entire building.
…
In the training room of Zigaishan Mountain, Yan Lu sniffed and stood up suddenly: "What a nice smell! What is it?!"
Jiang Song had some rhinitis, so he couldn't smell anything normally. But now he opened his eyes wide and said, "I think I can smell it too. It's really fragrant..."
In the public class classroom, the members began to lose their focus one by one.
"What kind of meat is that? It smells so special."
"Could it be crispy pork?"
"That's definitely impossible. It should be fried pork ribs."
"No, how did this fragrance reach us?"
Yin Yuanyi was fidgeting at the moment. He could hardly bear the strong fragrance.
It must be a new dish made by the cafeteria!
"It should be mint fried pork ribs."
Wang Hao thought secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that after changing the place, he could still taste the delicious food made by the headmaster.
Liangcha looked at Wang Hao next to him. The other person's saliva was about to flow out, and the saliva was crystal clear and fell onto the table bit by bit, making his eyes wide open.
…
"Wang Hao." Song Siyu quickly pulled out a tissue and stuffed it into the other person's hand: "Wipe it off quickly. And would you like a piece of Liangcha too?"
In the medicine testing laboratory, many scientific researchers who were secretly conducting research here also raised their heads one by one.
“This scent is overbearing!”
"Did he come out of the cafeteria?"
"How is it possible? How can such a long time be enough to make such delicious food?"
The leader, Hua Hualiu, swallowed his saliva and said, "I heard that a new chef has come to the cafeteria, and he has a natural talent for cooking. He may not be using machines to cook anymore."
"You'll know when you go to eat later. Don't always cook for yourself. You still have to go to the cafeteria to eat occasionally."
…
Bai Mengmeng was immersed in the rich fragrance and didn't feel how fragrant it was.
After all, his nose has already adapted to the scent, so he can't really enjoy it.
In fact, she didn't realize how exaggerated the aroma of the food she cooked was. It was completely different from before and could actually spread throughout the entire building.
Therefore, Bai Mengmeng has not yet realized how tough the battle will be.
Arrange the meal slowly.
When the clock struck twelve, the silent building suddenly became lively.
As soon as the elevator door opened, we saw the monks showing off their magical powers and rushing out of the elevator.
Many people who couldn't get the elevator actually entered the emergency passage and rushed into the cafeteria.
Bai Mengmeng was stunned and looked at the scene in extreme shock.
She could swear that since she came to Zigai Mountain and entered the cafeteria, she had never seen so many people flocking to the cafeteria and scrambling to eat.
By the way, was the food she cooked today really enough?
No matter how I look at it, it just doesn't seem enough.
She had previously thought that there were not many cultivators in Zigai Mountain, and most of them should be outside.
But now it seems that she was totally wrong. She didn't know which corner of the mecha these people came out from. Did they usually hide?
Bai Mengmeng never knew how many people were in Zigai Mountain. Because he joined later, he didn't know the personnel composition.
She thought that in the mountains, apart from some teachers and staff, there were only some newly joined monks and a few cultivators.
So she once expressed her feelings about this, thinking that Zigai Mountain was built so big and covered such a large area, but there were only a few new members, and they were trained here for half a year.
This is really a waste and makes people feel the full smell of corruption.
In fact, she didn't know that there were some secret laboratories on this island that she had never known about, and there were quite a number of researchers in them.
