Chapter 491: Lots of Meat
She placed the pot filled with water on the stove and turned on the fire. While waiting for the water to boil, she washed the eggs and set them aside.
After the water boiled, she put the eggs in, turned the heat down to low, and after three to five minutes, turned off the heat and simmered for a few minutes.
Jian Yan has never cooked tea eggs, but she has made braised eggs.
She knows very well how to cook eggs so that they can absorb the flavor during the braising process.
Take out the stewed eggs and soak them in cold water. In fact, the eggs are not cooked at all in such a short time, but it doesn’t matter, because what we want is that they are not cooked.
When hot eggs are pre-cooled, the protein in the eggs will shrink faster, but the yolk inside will still be raw. However, the protein will solidify. At this time, you need to peel off the eggshell and then put the eggs into the brine.
However, since you are making tea eggs, there is no need to peel the shells. Just use a spoon to knock some cracks into the eggs.
After knocking on them one by one, Jian Yan boiled a pot of water and added tea leaves and salt. The tea leaves were bought from the largest shopping mall on the Imperial Capital Star. The price was not high, but the quality identified by the system was very good.
In her time, tea of this quality would have been priced similarly to Mingqian Longjing.
But, it's ridiculously cheap here.
There is no other reason. It is mainly because the climate and environment of the pollution-free agricultural planet are too suitable for the growth of tea, resulting in excessively high yields, and nothing can withstand more than one.
Once the quantity increases, the price will naturally not go up.
Jian Yan was actually quite glad that the tea was cheap. Otherwise, she would not spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy tea just to make tea eggs.
Not in the interest.
She was also unhappy about buying bad tea. Even though she had never cooked tea eggs, she knew that the taste of tea eggs had a lot to do with the quality of the tea.
Cheap is good. She can cook delicious tea eggs at a cheap price, and customers can also spend less money to eat delicious tea eggs.
She makes money and earns credits, and the diners are happy with their food, killing two birds with one stone, perfect!
Not long after the tea leaves and salt were put in, she followed her intuition and added ingredients such as tangerine peel. After cooking for a while, she added the remaining ingredients one by one.
The water was already boiling, and the aroma came out soon after these ingredients were put in.
The main aroma is the clear tea fragrance of Yunwu Tea, mixed with the fragrance of other ingredients, filling the room with fragrance.
Grandpa Rabbit took a deep breath, and his ears stood up because of the fragrance. Oh my god, this smell is so fragrant!
Want to eat!
He came closer, staring intently at the dark brown soup boiling in the pot. The eggs, stained by the soup and no longer white but light brown, were rolling and floating in it.
"Granddaughter, let grandpa have a taste of this egg!" He swallowed and said with a greedy look on his face.
Jian Yan smiled and took a piece of lard candy and fed it to his mouth, "The eggs are not ready yet, Grandpa, have a piece of candy first to satisfy your craving."
"That's fine!" He opened his mouth and ate the lard candy, then sat beside her, staring at the eggs in the pot, muttering in his heart, "Get well soon, get well soon..."
The aura he exuded was too urgent. Jian Yan frowned and started chatting with his grandfather.
"Grandpa, do you have any favorite food?"
Grandpa Rabbit was stunned for a moment. It seemed that there was nothing he particularly liked to eat.
He is not picky about food and eats everything.
Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know. I haven't found a favorite yet. If I had to say, pig is one, because it has a lot of meat."
In short, "Beef and mutton are actually meat too."
