Everyone in the entire educated youth settlement.
Except for Su Ruobai.
I was so full from lunch.
Because they had eaten two meals at noon.
Needless to say, the first meal consisted of vegetable dumplings with pickled vegetables.
Normal level, nothing to brag about.
The second meal was much better.
Qian Huan wasn't lying.
That skill is truly exceptional.
The stewed chicken soup was incredibly fragrant and delicious. The chicken meat was tender.
It's so delicious it'll make your tongue fall off!
You could tell how skilled she was when she was plucking the chicken's feathers.
The movement was incredibly swift.
According to Qian Huan himself, his father planned for him to take over the business.
So they took him to a state-run restaurant as an apprentice.
Unfortunately, an accident happened later, and he still had to go to the countryside!
Of course, that's a story for another time.
...
After tidying up, Qian Huan chopped the chicken into small pieces.
First, remove the chicken legs and wings. Then, along the joints, turn the knife and break them off.
The surrounding educated youths were amazed!
Then disassemble the torso.
Then start chopping from the chicken's neck.
Bang bang bang, it'll be over in a minute.
They are uniform in size and incredibly fast.
Everyone agrees that his knife skills are excellent.
After chopping, Qian Huan stuck the knife into the chopping block and commented, "Not bad, it's a good knife."
Xiao Yichen nodded. "If it's bought from the county, it's bound to be good."
After draining the water, put it in the pot.
Xiao Yichen was instructed to start a fire.
Su Ruobai was supervising the work from the side.
When doing these things.
Everyone was driven away.
Only Su Ruobai and Xiao Yichen were watching from the side.
Qian Huan originally planned not to let anyone see it.
This was, after all, his father's own creation.
It's not exactly a secret recipe, but it's certainly an advantage.
Then I thought that with this woman's abilities, she would definitely be able to get all sorts of meat in the future.
I'm going to show off my skills in front of her now.
If Sister Bai wants to eat something nice in the future, she'll definitely think of him.
He can at least eat some, right?
Besides, given this woman's fighting prowess, he wouldn't dare chase her away.
As for Xiao Yichen, it was purely an instinct from the depths of his soul.
He always felt that if he told Xiao Yichen to leave...
I was alone with Sister Bai.
It won't end well.
Qian Huan was also baffled.
It's just an intuition.
...
First, blanch the chicken in water to remove any scum.
Add scallions and ginger to the water to remove the fishy smell.
Then, wash the pot and dry it.
Put plenty of oil in the pan.
Add the drained chicken pieces and stir-fry quickly.
Once the chicken meat changes color, the skin shrinks.
Add soy sauce, salt, and sugar.
Qian Huan saw that Xiao Yichen had bought a lot of these.
They weren't stingy at all, they put out quite a lot.
Stir-fry for a while longer.
Add plenty of water and mushrooms.
Wait until the water covers the mushrooms.
The amount of water is sufficient.
Then just simmer it over high heat.
While the chicken is stewing, they start preparing the filling.
There are actually no other seasonings.
It's just a soup with some rendered pork fat and pork skin added.
First, chop the pork belly.
Pour in the soup you just made, and shake it repeatedly in one direction.
Make the meat firm and flavorful.
Then blanch the elm mushrooms, chop them finely, and mix them well.
Mix the cooled lard into the washed, dried, and chopped chives.
There's a specific method to using this chive.
Let it dry before chopping it into small pieces.
Finally, put all three fillings together and add fine salt.
Mix well.
This way, the chives won't release their moisture after being mixed with oil.
Still plump and tender.
While preparing the filling, Qian Huan complained, "There are too few ingredients. Otherwise, I could have kept the chives bright green after cooking."
That's how it looks! It's a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate!
Sigh, there aren't enough ingredients.
Xiao Yichen nodded.
His mistake.
Next time, buy more materials.
He couldn't even afford to feed his wife a decent meal.
Sigh, I'm incompetent.
...
Su Ruobai nodded, saying it was nothing, she had plenty in her space.
If that doesn't work, she'll just force some babies to be born.
This is easy to solve.
...
Now, everyone is amazed by Qian Huan's culinary skills.
Especially Zhou Yizhi.
“Okay, Qian Huan, we’ve been brothers for so long, I didn’t even know you had this skill.”
Why haven't I ever seen you cook before? How could you put up with it for so long?
Lin Min, who was standing next to her, was displeased: "What's wrong? What do you mean by 'endure'? We're busy working in the fields every day, and then we have to come back and cook. It's already hard enough."
It's one thing for you not to praise us, but to belittle us like this is really inappropriate!
Their educated youth settlement had a division of labor.
The men carried water, tended the vegetable garden, and gathered firewood.
The woman cooks, washes dishes, and occasionally gathers firewood.
Qian Huan tried to smooth things over: "Oh dear, Sister Lin, you've misunderstood. Captain Zhou is just unhappy with me."
He meant that he couldn't let his sisters get tired, so he should take care of the cooking!
Lin Min snorted and turned her head away, ignoring them.
Qian Huan didn't try to persuade him further, and said to Zhou Yizhi, "Hey, I've only learned a little bit, and I don't have anything to show for it. I eat vegetable dumplings and cornbread every day, and I have nowhere to put my skills to use!"
The other educated youth around them nodded in agreement.
They used to only have a few ounces of meat coupons a month here, and even fewer oil coupons.
Every day it's either wild vegetables or cornbread.
Even the best cooking skills are wasted if the ingredients are lacking in oil and salt.
