Chapter 129: Show off your skills
How to say it, Chen Xue was a Hakka in her previous life, so she actually knows a lot of Hakka food, but with her cooking skills, it is probably impossible to reproduce it.
And the materials were limited, so she could only make simple ones.
Birthday party.
Of course you need longevity noodles.
Then, fish and shrimp are definitely needed.
But because all the fish and shrimp had been put into the lake, Lord Chen could only put down a fishing net to catch them.
As for fish, Chen Xue plans to make sweet and sour fish.
Kill the caught fish, cut into pieces, add onions, ginger, garlic, salt, cooking wine, etc. and marinate for a while.
Then take out the carp and fry it in a pan.
When it turns golden brown, take it out and start preparing the soy sauce.
There was no ketchup, and Chen Xue didn't like it, so she didn't exchange it. As for some other condiments, which were not available before, Chen Xue just remembered to exchange them from the system.
One spoonful of light soy sauce, two spoonfuls of starch, three spoonfuls of sugar, and four spoonfuls of aged vinegar.
Then put ginger, garlic and other ingredients into the pan and fry them for a while, then add them into the prepared sauce.
Finally, pour the sauce over the fried carp.
A simple dish of sweet and sour fish is ready.
Chen Xue’s cooking skills are poor, mainly because she can’t control the amount of salt well, and also because she can’t control the heat well.
I don’t know when it is cooked and when it is not, and how long to stir-fry it to make it taste the best.
So, Xiaodie was the one who reminded them.
Although Chen Xue ordered her to rest, she was still a little worried, so she ran over to look at Chen Xue and occasionally helped.
Chen Xue just followed her.
After making the first dish, Chen Xue was full of confidence and then planned to make braised prawns.
It is said to be braised prawns in oil, but in fact they are not sea prawns, but large river prawns. Because this place is not near the sea, the prawns caught from the lake are all large river prawns.
However, they are delicious after frying.
So, it should be called Fried River Prawns.
It's done in a similar way, not very complicated.
First use scissors to cut off the whiskers and legs, remove the shrimp thread, wash and drain the water.
Take this opportunity to prepare the seasonings, chop the onions, ginger, garlic, etc., and then heat the oil in a pan.
After the oil is hot, put the shrimp into the pan and fry them. After one side is fried thoroughly, turn it over to the other side.
When it is cooked through, you can take it out and drain the oil. At this time, put ginger, garlic, chili peppers into the pot and stir-fry.
After the seasonings are fried, add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and a little cooking wine, then pour these sauces on the fried prawns and finally sprinkle with chopped green onions.
“It smells so good!”
"When did Xiaoxue's cooking skills become so good?"
Lord Chen was attracted by the fragrance and was a little surprised. After all, he knew that Chen Xue had never been in the kitchen.
"I'm such a smart person. I've followed Xiaodie for so many days, how could I not learn it?" Chen Xue boasted, not afraid of being found out that she was not her previous incarnation.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you bring the dishes to the table!" Mother Chen glared at Mr. Chen, obviously dissatisfied with seeing him standing there doing nothing.
Lord Chen didn't dare to refute, so he could only pick up the plate and leave in shame.
"Ma'am, let me do it!"
Xiaodie hurried over and wanted to help Chen's mother serve the dishes, but was rejected. "No need, Xiaoxue said that you are the birthday girl today, so you should have a good rest."
"You've been cooking, washing dishes, and doing laundry these past few days. You must be exhausted. Take this opportunity to rest up."
Chen Xue also echoed, "If Xiaodie is alright, maybe she can just watch me cook. Otherwise, if I make a mistake, it will ruin the whole dish."
"Yes, girl!"
Since it is a birthday party, we naturally have to prepare a big meal. Anyway, the space has the function of keeping food fresh, so we don’t have to worry about too many dishes going bad if left for too long.
So, Chen Xue plans to continue doing it.
The third dish is braised pork trotters with kelp. This dish is different from the other dishes available here. Those are all stewed soups or clear soups.
What Chen Xue makes is spicy and delicious.
However, there was pig's trotter but no kelp. Chen Xue could only ask the system to exchange it. One contribution point could get more than a pound of kelp, which was still worth it.
First wash the kelp, dry it in the sun, then wash the pig's feet and prepare the seasoning.
First blanch the pig's feet, then drain the water, then heat oil in a pan and add the pig's feet and braise.
Then add ginger, star anise, cinnamon, dried chili peppers, etc.
Add kelp and stir-fry until well-seasoned.
Then add water and simmer for half an hour until the pig's feet are well-seasoned and cooked through.
In fact, there are other steps, but Chen Xue actually forgot_
But... as long as it's edible, it's fine.
With three meat dishes, we naturally also need some vegetarian dishes.
Vegetarian dishes are the simplest and Chen Xue’s best.
Then, Chen Xue also made a soup, carrot and corn soup.
Finally, we come to the most important and last one.
That is, longevity noodles.
Fortunately, the longevity noodles exchanged by the system were already prepared, so she didn't have to knead them manually, she just had to cook them directly.
Don’t forget eggs when making longevity noodles.
Chen Xue fried two poached eggs for Xiaodie, and then carved the words "Happy Birthday" for her with a carrot.
However, after Chen Xue finished her preparations, she realized that there were cakes, longevity noodles, and so many dishes. She didn't know what to eat.
Then a few people discussed it and decided to have a big meal at noon and celebrate the birthday in the evening.
Anyway, she always makes longevity noodles in front of Xiaodie, so she already knows the surprise, so it will be the same if she waits a little longer.
"Xiaoxue's cooking skills are really good." Lord Chen praised, "She's worthy of being Xiaoxue!"
Chen's mother also praised, "Yes, Xiaoxue is much better than me."
"What the girl cooked is delicious!" Xiaodie also praised.
“No, no, no!”
Chen Xue was a little amused and confused. "Today is Xiaodie's birthday. Shouldn't I praise her? Why are you praising me instead?"
"Come, Xiaodie, you need to eat meat so that you can grow taller!" Mother Chen picked up a shrimp and put it in Xiaodie's bowl.
Chen Xue was even more direct. She picked up Xiaodie's bowl and picked up a few shrimps, some pig's feet and kelp for her. She didn't stop until the bowl was full and exceeded by several centimeters.
"Girl, it's too much, too much..."
Σ(д|||)
Xiaodie was shocked and hurried to stop him. Oh my God, how could she eat so much?
When Chen Xue put the bowl in front of her, the food was about to touch her nose.
Xiaodie was a little amused, but she was very touched. In fact, when she decided to go into exile with the girl, she was prepared to endure hardships.
Who would have thought that she had not suffered at all, on the contrary she was happier than when she was in the mansion, especially the girl had become completely different and treated her even better.
A man will die for the one who pleases him, and a woman will dress up for the one who pleases her.
This is how Xiaodie feels now.
This meal took several hours.
Before she had finished digesting it, it was already evening. Chen Xue pulled Xiaodie into the room and brought out longevity noodles and birthday cake.
Although it was a little uncomfortable to hold on, Xiaodie's heart was filled with warmth and touched, and tears flowed down like pearls.
