Chapter 43 One Step Away
At this time, the elbow was also steamed. Du Shaojie first poured the soup into a clean bowl, then put a large plate on the small basin containing the elbow and quickly turned it over.
After placing the plate, the aroma of meat and red dates has spread.
The last step is to use the previously poured soup, add water starch to make a sauce, drizzle a little oil, and then pour the sauce on the elbow.
"The elbow stewed with red dates is here."
Today's dishes are all large portions, so Du Shaojie did not call Xiaomei, but served the dishes himself.
There are not many types of dishes today, [stewed elbow with red dates], [beef stew], [stir-fried pork liver], [stir-fried beef], [stir-fried vegetables].
Among them, the beef stew is served in a basin, which is quite large.
"Shaojie, what are you doing? I have never eaten it before."
Wang Yuxiu called a few people to start chopsticks. Qi Yan, Liang Meiqin and Su Dapeng looked at [stewed elbow with red dates] with surprise on their faces.
Du Shaojie then gave them some popular science. This dish is considered a "palace dish". It is not only delicious but also healthy. Because it is complicated to make, it is not easy to eat at home.
"Palace dish? Then I have to try it."
Su Dapeng took the lead in picking up a piece of pork elbow. It melted in his mouth and the taste was simply wonderful.
Everyone started eating. Not to mention the two little ones, they ate one after another. Even Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin ate with oil in their mouths. This dish is very popular with girls.
"Mom, put a red date in the pork elbow and eat it together. The flavor is better."
Du Shaojie demonstrated, and Wang Yuxiu and others also learned to eat it this way. Sure enough, they tasted different flavors.
Beef stew is also very popular. Xiaomei likes to eat pork liver, and Su Dapeng has a special liking for stir-fried beef. For no other reason, it is because the stir-fried beef is fragrant and spicy enough, and it goes well with rice.
In the end, everyone was basically full, especially Du Shaojie's three friends, who really hoped that he would not go back to the farm, otherwise they would not be able to eat such delicious food for a long time.
"Shaojie, are you okay on the farm? How is the food?"
Liang Meiqin looked at Du Shaojie and found that he was not thin, but just a little darker.
But he looked very energetic, so it was a little hard to figure out his situation on the farm.
She asked casually, and everyone turned their heads to look at Du Shaojie.
"It's okay over there. A big wild boar was shot in the farm these two days, and everyone had a good meal. And they sent me to deliver some wild boar meat to the canteen of the bureau, otherwise I might have to wait a week to ask for leave."
Du Shaojie still reported good news but not bad news, so as not to worry everyone.
The food on the farm must not be very good, but it's not so bad that you can't eat enough, there's really nothing to complain about.
Su Dapeng had to go to work in the afternoon, so he left first. Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin helped to clean up the mess, and then said goodbye and left.
Du Shaojie later sent his two younger sisters to school and went to work.
At this hour, the cafeteria was not busy. Liao Yongxin moved a stool and sat outside the back door, smoking.
"Master, you are quite leisurely!"
"It was you, kid. You scared me. How did Zhao Dajun learn to behave this time? Everyone has tasted wild boar meat and is praising him. Tell me the truth, was this your idea?"
After all, he was an old employee of the unit, and Liao Yongxin knew who was what kind of person.
Zhao Dajun was a good man, but he was a straight-forward person. He never knew how to do things in a roundabout way. Could he think of sending some wild boar meat to the bureau?
Liao Yongxin would never believe it.
"People always change, right? Yesterday you asked me to take some time to come. What was it?"
Du Shaojie didn't want to answer this question and cleverly changed the subject.
Yesterday, he hurriedly met Liao Yongxin. Both of them were busy and didn't have time to talk much.
"What else can I do? There's a wedding on Sunday, and I'm invited to cook. If you're free, help me."
Liao Yongxin didn't dwell on the previous topic, and then said this.
"Okay, I'll definitely go."
Du Shaojie won't return to the farm until next Monday, so he has time on Sunday.
Liao Yongxin arranged a time and place for him to meet, and Du Shaojie said goodbye and left.
He went to the infirmary, got some cold medicine and analgesics and fever-reducing medicine, and then returned home.

[Current Works: Red Dates Braised Pork Elbow, Beef Stew]
[Overall Rating: Low, Low]
[Bonus: Teaching Materials for the above Dishes]
[Rewards: Dried Red Dates (2 kg), Tofu (2 kg)]
[Special Rewards: None]
He hadn't had time to do it before, so he opened the light curtain at this moment. As expected, there was a surprise.
Today, two dishes received an overall rating of "low".
[Red Dates Braised Pork Elbow] He did well in his previous life, and now that he has made great progress in his understanding of cooking, it is not an extraordinary performance.
And [Beef Stew] is still a kind of stew, and he has a lot of experience in making stews now. As the saying goes, once you master one, you can master all. You will never be bad at making stews in the future.
The time to start [Simulation Training] is getting closer and closer, and it is worth looking forward to.
In the afternoon.
Du Shaojie went out for a walk, and when he came back, he went into the kitchen with a bag of tofu.
Everyone's fighting power at noon was super strong, and there was basically no food left. It just so happened that the system rewarded him with two kilograms of tofu, and there was still a little beef left at home, so he planned to make a dish of Mapo Tofu in the evening.
First, wash the beef and cut it into small pieces, and then start preparing various auxiliary ingredients.
The soul of Mapo Tofu is "knife-edge chili", which means frying dried chili and peppercorns in a hot pan until fragrant, and then chopping them finely with a kitchen knife.
He already knew how to make this dish, and he had made it before, and received an overall evaluation of "bad".
This time he will cook strictly according to the traditional method, and it just so happens that the ingredients are ready at hand, to see if he can improve it further.
Hard work pays off, Du Shaojie has been thinking about this dish [Mapo Tofu] for a long time, and he has also practiced it. The most rare thing is that all kinds of ingredients are complete, and he doesn't have to think of ways to find substitutes.
A large pot of Mapo Tofu and some leftovers from lunch, steamed cakes, are all for dinner.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya were eating and exclaiming that it was addictive. This dish is a combination of "spicy, salty, fragrant and hot". The smooth tofu is wrapped in a rich sauce. It is easy to feel satisfied when you eat it.
The "ingredients" fried with beef have a significant effect of enhancing the flavor and fragrance. With the finishing touch of "knife-edge pepper", this dish will whet your appetite and make you want to eat it.
"Brother, you are simply amazing! No matter what dish you cook, it tastes so good."
"Brother, this is the most delicious tofu I have ever eaten."
The two sisters kept praising Du Shaojie, making him a little embarrassed.
These two little guys, little devils, said so many nice words, don't they just want him to make more delicious food for them?
But anyway, this [Mapo Tofu] has been made to a considerable standard.
After dinner.
Du Shaojie went back to the room to check the comprehensive evaluation of this dish.
