Chapter 667: Pomelo Chicken
"Eh, Mingxue, what the hell is this dish you're cooking? Why haven't I seen it before?" Even though Zhang Jinlan had experienced all kinds of hardships, she had never seen such a disgusting dish.
She swallowed and took a few steps back with her old legs.
I'm afraid to see this dish.
"Oh, this is something I came up with myself. Pomelo is sweet and sour, and stir-frying meat with it is similar to the sweet and sour fried meat made by my aunt. Aunt, you try it, it's definitely delicious."
Wan Xian took a step forward with the plate.
Zhang Jinlan was so frightened that she wanted to run away.
In order to rescue grandma, Jiang Ruyi, who has always been interested in food, inserted herself between the two.
"Let me try." She picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fat and lean meat.
Some of the grapefruit seeds on top were dry, while others were full of juice. I don’t know if it was because too much soy sauce or vinegar was added. It looked dark brown and was quite difficult to eat.
But Jiang Ruyi still stuffed it into her mouth.
She savored it carefully.
Wan Xian stretched her neck and waited for her comments.
"Ruyi, how does it taste?" You know, she has modified this fried pomelo with pork again and again.
In fact, she tasted it and thought it tasted very good, but her son and husband said it was not tasty.
All of them were badly hit by Wan Xian.
The maid held her again.
So no matter which servant in the mansion you ask, they will praise it for being delicious.
That's why Wan Xian just wanted to show off her skills and let the Jiang family give her some advice.
"Auntie, the taste of pork fried with pomelo is actually not bad. After all, meat is fishy and pomelo is fragrant. The combination of the two will improve the taste a lot. But you made a mistake in adding vinegar. The thick red sauce covered up the original fragrance of the pomelo. Also, you should not use pork belly with fat and lean meat. The pomelo cannot suppress the fishy smell.
Fatty meat also taints pomelo. You should use diced chicken instead. Cut the diced chicken into fingernail-sized pieces, soak them in ginger water mixed with southern mint for 15 minutes, and then stir-fry them with peeled pomelo cubes. Use only some salt and sugar to season them, and they will definitely taste refreshing and delicious. "
Jiang Ruyi did not start by belittling the dish.
Instead, he thought about it for a long time and put forward some suggestions.
Wan Xian nodded repeatedly.
"Ruyi's words make sense. I'll go and try it now."
Although there was no fresh mint, the Jiang family had a pharmacy that had all kinds of medicinal materials, even more complete than a drugstore. She could just ask the maid to go to the pharmacy and get some dried mint leaves.
Wan Xian is full of fighting spirit.
Finally, by the time of the New Year’s Eve dinner at noon, she had finished preparing the pomelo chicken dish.
There were two tables in the main room, and the dishes were the same.
The adults sit at one table and the children sit at another.
The sound of firecrackers rang out outside the door, and the New Year’s Eve dinner officially began.
"Son, come and try the pomelo chicken that mom made. Ruyi personally modified it for me. How does it taste?"
Wan Xian had tasted it a long time ago, if she had to describe it in two words.
That's delicious!
In winter, people's taste becomes heavier and their bodies feel cold, so they want to eat hot pot or stewed lamb.
In addition, I felt very hot from burning the charcoal stove every day.
When you eat the refreshing yuzu chicken, it feels like you’re back in summer.
The diced chicken soaked in ginger and mint water has no fishy smell at all.
Served with sweet and sour grapefruit cubes, it is simply delicious.
No wonder Ruyi is so popular. Countless people come to Lianshan Town from far away just to eat the medicinal food.
"Mom, it's New Year's Day, please don't harm me." After eating countless strange dishes, Kong Mingxue no longer trusted his mother.
Not only did he not reach for the pomelo chicken with his chopsticks, he even leaned back.
"Let's not talk about whether the dishes mother cooks are delicious or not. Just the appearance is already a win! Mother, my husband doesn't understand, let me try it."
Jiang Wangyou tried to smooth things over. She ignored Kong Mingxue's obstruction and scooped up a spoonful of diced grapefruit chicken and stuffed it into her mouth.
Just chew a few times.
Her eyes narrowed.
"Is it particularly sour? Spit it out quickly." Kong Mingxue stretched out his hand and let Jiang Wangyou spit into his hand.
"Hmm, it's a bit sour, but very appetizing. It turns sweet as I chew it." After eating too much salty and sweet food, Jiang Wangyou felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly tasted sour food.
But after chewing a few times, she found that the pomelo chicken in her mouth tasted better and better.
There is also a cool feeling.
It was already very hot in the main room, her face turned red, and she was still drinking hot milk.
My throat is about to burn.
After eating this dish, I feel so refreshed all over.
She even took another spoonful.
Kong Mingxue was stunned.
"Are you crazy?" He thought his wife was forcing him to eat the food even though it tasted bad in order to please his mother.
"Don't talk nonsense. The food my mother cooks is really delicious. Try it." Jiang Wangyou directly stuffed the second spoonful of diced pomelo chicken into his mouth.
Kong Mingxue was forced to eat it.
He wanted to vomit.
But his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Eh? It doesn't taste the same as before, it's really delicious, Mom, you really figured it out, you're really capable, it's delicious!"
Kong Mingxue raised his thumb to give his mother encouragement.
But Wan Xian didn't want to pay any attention to him.
"Humph, you just asked your wife to spit it out, and now you've changed your tune? It's too late! Forget your worries, do you like it? I'll cook it for you often in the future, and everyone can try it to see if it suits your appetite. I can make this dish, all thanks to Ruyi. If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be this dish..."
Wan Xian told everyone what Jiang Ruyi said in the backyard.
The Jiang family members then realized that the pomelo chicken cubes were invented by Jiang Ruyi.
Jiang Fubao was also very fortunate that she did not refuse her second sister's help in her clinic.
Her second sister's cooking skills and talents were better than she had imagined.
"Ruyi, can I buy this vegetable from you? I want to sell it in the restaurant." Kong Yuanbao, who loves trading, seemed to smell the scent of money.
He bypassed Wan Xian and asked Jiang Ruyi directly.
After all, the dish was her idea.
"Uncle, why are you being so polite to me? This dish was thought up by my aunt. It has nothing to do with me. If you want to sell it, just sell it. You don't need to ask me."
With the dividends from Jiangnan Restaurant, Jiang Ruyi has long been a real wealthy woman.
In the Jiang family, besides Zhang Jinlan and Jiang Fubao, she is the third richest person.
She looked down upon this small amount of money and did not want to get involved, since the Jiang family and the Kong family had such a good relationship.
"Okay, I feel relieved when you say this."
Kong Yuanbao smiled, raised a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Ruyi also took the hot milk and took a sip.
The atmosphere is particularly good.
"Hey, you, this is my dish, why didn't you ask me? I didn't allow you to sell this dish in the restaurant."
Wan Xian said this in a deliberately arrogant tone.
"My wife is my wife, and I am her husband. We are one. What's mine is hers, and what's hers is naturally mine. So, what's wrong with me selling my own vegetables? As a husband, I make money to spend on my wife." After these words came out, Wan Xian was so coaxed that her eyes disappeared.
