After buying the items, Yu Hui found a skilled craftsman in the village to help install the gas stove and gas cylinder.
I didn't get home until after 9 p.m.
Back home, Yu Hui sat down at his computer again; the stir-fry recipe was going to be released tomorrow.
Although he was very confident in his culinary skills, he still made a table with a lot of dishes on it, covering almost all eight major cuisines.
The ingredients are quite simple, only beef, pork, and chicken. The stir-fry restaurant will only be open for business tomorrow, and he doesn't want to prepare too many ingredients, fearing that he won't be able to use them all and it will go to waste.
After finishing all that, he took a shower and lay on the bed feeling refreshed, reading a novel.
Yu Hui's favorite books are those by Tomato Novels and Drowning Kitten, because they are very realistic and down-to-earth.
I watched it all night after I opened it.
......
Nothing was said that night.
The next day.
A gentle breeze was blowing, and dark clouds covered the sky.
It looks like it's going to be a cloudy day.
With such good weather, there will only be more and more people climbing the mountain; it looks like today will be another busy day.
Yu Hui stretched and lazily woke up from bed, preparing boxed lunches and braised dishes as usual.
I also brought a lot of side dishes, planning to take them to the food street for a special meal.
As expected, business was booming today.
As soon as we arrived, a lot of tourists gathered around us, some of whom were regular customers, but most were new customers.
"Hey boss, why did you bring a pot this time? Is it a new product?" a tourist who had made two repeat purchases asked.
Yu Hui explained, "Yes, we've set up a special kitchen where you can order any of the dishes listed here. You can take a look."
After saying that, he took out the menu and placed it on the stall.
The tourist's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "I like this!"
He picked up the menu and saw that it was filled with dozens of dishes, arranged according to the template of the eight major cuisines.
Tourists' attention was immediately drawn to the Hunan cuisine section.
He was a tourist from Xiangcheng, and he usually couldn't live without spicy food.
Because he had been working in Shenzhen, he hadn't been back to Xiangcheng for a long time. Seeing these dishes today made him miss home.
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then give me a serving of Yongzhou blood duck!"
"Okay, just a moment!"
Yu Hui nodded upon hearing this and began making it.
Yongzhou Blood Duck is a very distinctive local dish. As the name suggests, the main ingredients are duck and fresh duck blood.
In addition, there are a few other points to note.
The best ducks to use are ducklings that are 2-3 months old and weigh about 2-3 pounds. This will result in the best-tasting duck meat.
The chili peppers are half green and half red, slightly spicy, because people from Hunan love to eat chili peppers. The bitter melon should also be a bit bitter, so that it's more enjoyable to eat.
All the ingredients were prepared before setting up the stall, so Yu Hui only needed to stir-fry the vegetables.
Yu Hui picked up a bottle of mineral water and poured it into the pot. Then he added duck pieces, ginger, and cooking wine to the cold water. The purpose of this step was to remove the fishy smell and blanch the blood.
After boiling and draining the water, pour oil into a pot, then add the duck meat and stir-fry over high heat until both sides are golden brown. Then add ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers.
This step really tests the chef's skill level.
If you're not careful, it might burn or char.
Yu Hui held a pot in his left hand and a spatula in his right.
After stirring it a few times, he used his left hand to gently toss it upwards. The duck meat tumbled once in the air before landing steadily in the pot.
After repeating this action four or five times, Yu Hui gripped the pot handle tightly and used his arm strength to make the duck meat rotate "three circles to the left and three circles to the right" in the pot.
Such skillful movements stunned everyone.
"Dude, you didn't graduate from New Oriental, did you?"
"That's awesome! When will I be able to master the skill of flipping a wok?"
"Wow, I never thought watching the stall owner cook would be such a pleasure! His technique is so comfortable!"
"This stir-fry must taste amazing! I'm drooling!"
"......"
Yu Hui did this not to show off, but to ensure that the food was heated more evenly and tasted better.
After stir-frying until fragrant, add salt, soy sauce, and boiling water, and simmer for about 20 minutes. When there is still a small amount of broth in the pot, add the green and red peppers and stir-fry evenly.
at last.
The most crucial step.
Take out the fresh duck meat that you prepared in advance, and while the pot isn't looking, quickly pour it in, then keep tossing the pot.
Once each piece of duck meat is coated with duck blood, you're all done!
Yu Hui skillfully scooped the Yongzhou blood duck into a large box, and Ye Yiqiu, who was good at reading people's expressions, would then pack it up and hand it over to the customer.
At the same time, she would thoughtfully ask customers how many meals they wanted, and she would do this for every single customer.
This is Yu Hui's favorite; she's very attentive, unlike Zhu Zi, who's careless and always forgets to put out the chopsticks or collect the money...
"Boss, could you cook me a dish too? The duck you cooked for that guy smelled really good."
The customers in the back row originally only planned to buy boxed lunches and braised dishes, but after seeing the Yongzhou blood duck that the tourist in front of them had, they suddenly became tempted.
After buying the boxed lunch, he wanted Yu Hui to cook another dish.
"Boss, I want some stir-fried dishes too. Your dishes look very authentic, and your cooking skills are excellent. They must taste delicious. I haven't had any food from my hometown in a long time. I wonder if you can make the taste of home here!"
"Me too! I went to Dongbei once before and I really loved their sweet and sour pork. Could you make me a serving?"
I want to eat Mapo Tofu!
"Here comes the poached chicken!"
"No one can stop me from ordering a sweet and sour carp!"
"......"
On the other side.
The tourist sat down opposite a girl and placed the Yongzhou blood duck he was holding on the table.
The girl looked up happily upon seeing this, but when she saw the actual object, she looked puzzled.
"???"
"Didn't I tell you to buy braised food and boxed lunches? Why did you buy a duck?" The woman looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Honey, I also bought this from that vendor. He recently launched a new stir-fried dish, and I was the first one to buy it.”
“This is a specialty from my hometown. I’ve always wanted to try it, but I’ve never had the chance. I never expected to find it here,” Yang Junjie exclaimed.
He is a migrant worker in Shenzhen, working in the IT industry. He and Xu Fang have been dating since college.
We've been together for eight years now.
Last month, both sides met each other's parents and discussed the wedding date, which will be in the second half of the year.
"Do you remember where I took you on our first date?" Yang Junjie asked.
"The place where we had our first date..." Xu Fang said with a look of reminiscence, "You took me to a Sichuan restaurant near the school and we ordered Yongzhou blood duck."
"Back then, you were still an innocent boy, not very good at pursuing girls. You didn't even dare to look me in the eye, and you kept your head down praising how delicious the blood duck from your hometown was."
"result......"
