Li Beiyang arrived in front of the colorful blind box light board.
After a brief look, I circled it three times clockwise and then three times counterclockwise.
Then he drew some strange symbols in the air with his index finger while chanting, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! All blind boxes under heaven are my soldiers! I say open what you want to open, and if you don't, you're a big turtle!"
"Listen up, I want the purple hidden blind box, plus cumin roasted chicken legs, braised pork knuckle, and crispy duck!"
"No vegetables are allowed in my blind boxes without my permission!"
After completing the ritual of the "divine intervention," Li Beiyang scanned the QR code.
[Ding! Congratulations! You've won the green box and received a stuffed cabbage and cabbage bento box!]
"Oh my God!" Brother Li Beiyang knelt down on the ground with a thud, clutching the food tickets in his hand, filled with regret.
Seeing her brother's defeat in battle, Li Nansang, the younger sister, learned from his experience.
They continued to circle the advertising sign three times clockwise and three times counterclockwise.
Then I silently prayed to the light board: "Dear Rainbow Blind Box, please bless me and let me get my favorite sweet and sour pork with pineapple! Love you, muah!"
Then, holding the big phone in her little hand, she aimed it at the QR code, and "ding!" she even imitated the voiceover from the light sign.
[Ding! Congratulations! You've won the yellow box and will receive a serving of sweet and sour pork with pineapple and cola chicken wings!]
"Oh my god! You really can hear my wish!" Li Nansang shook her mother's arm vigorously. "Look, Mom! They're all my favorite dishes! I love rainbow blind boxes so much!"
Mrs. Li was shaken until she was dizzy by her youngest daughter, then looked at her dejected son on the ground and sighed, "A man should keep his word, otherwise you won't be able to get the hidden items from blind boxes in the future!"
Li Beiyang resignedly got up from the ground: "Even if it's a plate of poop, I'll eat it all today!"
Mrs. Li picked up her child's two food tickets and went to the front desk. She looked up and was suddenly shocked.
"Shopkeeper, you've dressed up quite uniquely, with bright red and green, both vulgar and elegant."
Qin Yi looked and realized it was the KTV owner she had met when she was selling rice noodles. She had even said she would hire her as a family chef with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.
Judging from Mrs. Li's current expression, she probably didn't recognize herself.
It seems her makeup skills are still quite good; she can still fool people pretty well.
Qin Yi took the food ticket and wondered, "Why are there four meat dishes?"
She looked down at the two children in front of the car. So the system was a doll lover too?
"Children, please sit on the stools in front and wait. I'll call you when I'm ready."
Mrs. Li felt that the proprietress's voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
Qin Yi grabbed the food tickets and went off to get busy.
Let's start by making stuffed cabbage that needs to be steamed.
Mix the minced meat with chopped shiitake mushrooms, chopped carrots, and chopped wood ear mushrooms, then add seasonings and stir well.
Then rinse the cabbage leaves clean, put them in a pot of water and blanch for half a minute, until they are slightly softened.
Next, scoop a spoonful of the marinated minced meat onto the top of the cabbage, fold it in half from both sides, roll it up, and place it on a plate.
Steam over high heat for about eight minutes. Pour off any excess water that comes out of the dish and place some shredded green onions on top of the cabbage.
A spoonful of boiling hot oil is poured over the cabbage to release its aroma, and finally, Qin Yi's homemade blanching sauce is poured over each piece of cabbage.
Boiled cabbage in clear broth is also a dish served at state banquets.
Qin Yi has chicken broth that has been simmering for 8 hours. Now she just needs to absorb the oil and some sediment from the broth.
This is the technique of "making clear broth" in Shandong cuisine, which makes the broth clear.
Only then can it be worthy of the word "boiling water".
Cut the chicken breast into chunks, add scallions, ginger, and other seasonings, and blend into a paste. The paste can be a little coarse for easier absorption.
After filtering the chicken broth, heat it to a boil and then pour in the minced chicken breast.
The minced chicken will slowly absorb the impurities in the broth. Repeat this process three times, filtering each time.
Until the cloudy, whitish chicken soup became as clear as spring water.
Remove most of the leaves from the cabbage and trim it into a lotus flower pattern. Pour the prepared broth over it and steam until slightly softened.
Arrange the cabbages in the shape of a lotus flower and place them in the center of the plate to resemble a budding flower, ready to be enjoyed.
After the little boy's dishes were ready, Qin Yi began to prepare the sweet dishes for the little girl.
Cut the pork tenderloin into chunks, add salt, pepper, egg yolk and other seasonings, and mix well to coat the meat chunks evenly with potato starch.
If you want a crispy coating, use potato starch.
Then take a pineapple, peel and core it, cut it into small pieces, and soak it in salt water for a while.
Qin Yi made a sweet and sour sauce by mixing tomato sauce with white vinegar, diced vinegar, honey, white sugar and a little orange juice.
Place the pork tenderloin pieces, which have been coated with a pat of oil, into the oil and fry until they are set. Then turn off the heat and fry for another 3 minutes before removing them from the oil.
Finally, pour the prepared bright red tomato sauce into the pot and stir-fry until the sweet and sour sauce becomes thick and bubbly.
Add pineapple, bell peppers, and fried meat pieces, then toss to coat with the sauce.
The little girl would love the way it's placed inside a half-hollowed-out pineapple shell.
She remembers the first time she wanted to eat sweet and sour pork with pineapple, it was because the half of the pineapple lying down looked particularly beautiful.
Cola chicken wings is also a very easy recipe.
But kids always seem to have an inexplicable, natural fondness for chicken wings.
After cooking, plate the chicken wings.
Use a small spoon to drizzle the fragrant sauce from the pot over the chicken wings one by one, and sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
After everything is done.
Qin Yi put on gloves and, while the rice balls were still hot, shaped them into a dog and a rabbit, placing them on a plate.
Cut seaweed into eyes and carve carrots into small flowers to attach to the rabbit's ears.
"Kids, lunchtime!"
Qin Yi placed four dishes on the table and then took a long-spouted teapot filled with crystal-clear chicken soup.
Raise the teapot and pour water directly into the center of the cabbage flower bud.
One or two petals slowly bloom from the center, the teapot swirls gently, and the clear broth awakens each lotus petal.
The Chinese cabbage in full bloom resembles both an epiphyllum and a lotus.
"Wow, how amazing! Mom, the flowers are blooming!" Li Nansang clapped her little hands excitedly beside her.
Little Li Beiyang originally had no liking for Chinese cabbage.
But seeing my sister's surprised expression, I suddenly felt that the dish I drew was pretty awesome too.
"Wow! This rabbit-shaped rice is so cute, I want to eat it!"
Wow! There really is a pineapple lying there in the sweet and sour pork with pineapple!
Wow! The cola chicken wings look amazing!
Li Nansang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Little sister, can you stop making such a fuss? You seem so naive."
"Brother, what is worldly experience? Is it noodles made of tomatoes?"
Mrs. Li, who was listening nearby, couldn't stand it anymore: "You two should eat quickly, the food is going to get cold."
After saying that, she picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted it. Judging from its appearance, it was indeed quite good.
Mrs. Li first picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with pineapple.
Hmm? Crisp and sweet!
It's sweet but not cloying, and sour but not harsh on the throat; in fact, it whets your appetite as soon as you eat it!
My mouth involuntarily produces saliva, and I want to eat more.
She picked up another piece of stuffed cabbage roll and put it directly into her mouth.
Mmm~~ The fresh aroma of cabbage mixed with the rich flavor of minced meat bursts in my mouth.
The broth clinging to it is incredibly fragrant and rich.
Take a bite and it's so delicious and juicy, then quickly grab a tissue to wipe your mouth.
It turns out that when cabbage and minced meat are mixed together, the flavor is elevated to a whole new level.
Finally, Mrs. Li left the chicken wings for the children and also picked up a piece of boiled cabbage.
Needless to say, the taste is amazing.
The clear soup hanging in the pot, resembling tea, showed that a lot of effort had been put into it.
The soup should be flavorful yet clear, hence the name "boiled cabbage in clear broth".
Honestly, she never expected that the lunchbox stall at the entrance of her residential compound would have this dish.
And the chef's work was quite impressive.
Aside from that flashy outfit.
The dishes were absolutely superb.
Is there some kind of variety show being filmed nearby, featuring a chef working on the street and a passerby being shocked by what they eat?
Mrs. Li looked around carefully but didn't see any security cameras.
"Li Beiyang! You stole my chicken wings! Shameless!"
"Li Nansang, you're stealing my cabbage again! You pickpocket!"
"That's because you don't like eating vegetables, that's why I'm helping you!"
"Who says I don't like vegetables? Look, I've devoured them all!"
Little Li Beiyang has no idea why the cabbage tastes so good today.
He could understand why the cabbage wrapped with meat tasted good, because the meat inside made the cabbage taste better too.
But he didn't understand why this cabbage, which looked like a flower, was so delicious.
Anyway, it's different from the cabbage we usually eat; he can finish the whole plate!
Mrs. Li watched the two children scrambling for food.
This is unprecedented!
The elderly mother almost burst into tears.
She watched the shopkeeper bustling about on the rainbow-colored carriage.
I'm thinking of bringing the kids here for another meal tomorrow.
If the child continues to love eating, then you must recruit her to your home to be the head chef.
The owner of the rice noodle stall rejected her last time, which made her search for a long time without finding a chef she liked better.
We absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake this time!
