Chapter 81 Thank you, Captain Zhou, and thank you, sister-in-law!

Zhao Guifen pulled Jiang Rou and wanted her to add some water.

Jiang Rou shook her head and said very firmly.

"Sister Guifen, don't worry. The dish I made is called Waterless Scallion Oil Braised Chicken. The word 'waterless' is in the name, so no water is needed. Not even a drop."

"Really not even a drop?"

"It really doesn't take a drop, don't worry!"

Jiang Rou nodded seriously.

This dish is all about the original flavor of the chicken. If you add water, the taste will not be authentic.

Zhao Guifen had a conflicted look on her face. Between trusting Jiang Rou and feeling sorry for the chicken, she finally chose to trust Jiang Rou.

"Sister Rou, since you said that, you must have your reasons. You can read and have been educated, so you must know more than me. I believe you, if you don't want to add water, then don't add water!"

"Sister Guifen, just be at ease. We'll eat chicken together at noon."

When Zhao Guifen heard this, her eyes lit up. She actually had a share.

Half an hour of simmering on medium heat passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Rou stood in front of the stove again and opened the pot lid——

First there was a wisp of steam, and when it cleared, a large hen covered in shiny soy sauce was revealed. [Photo]

Shiny and shiny.

Accompanied by a fragrance.

Especially tempting.

As for what Zhao Guifen was worried about, it didn't happen at all, and the whole big hen was still fine.

The ingredients originally placed under the big hen were completely absorbed by the boiling hot oil and sauce during the long cooking process. The onions, ginger, garlic, and scallions were completely absorbed by the sauce and gradually charred and turned black.

Zhao Guifen finally understood it now.

Because it is cooked over medium heat and there is a thick layer of ingredients on the bottom, the chicken will not get burnt at all.

Jiang Rou also took the initiative to explain.

"When I put the lid on just now, I deliberately pressed something on the lid to prevent the steam from escaping. There is water in the chicken, and there is also water in the sauce and ingredients. As long as the steam does not escape, the chicken will not burn."

"In this high temperature and sealed environment, the flavors of green onions, ginger and garlic will seep into the chicken little by little with the heat. It doesn't even need to be boiled in water, and it still has great flavor."

"Even the leftover scallion oil is not wasted at all. It is delicious when mixed with rice."

After listening to this, Zhao Guifen showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

He was amazed and sighed.

"Absolutely! Sister Rou, your method is absolutely amazing. No wonder I think the fragrance is particularly strong when I smell it!"

At this moment, the small kitchen is filled with the aroma of green onions and chicken.

It's so rich that it makes your mouth water.

but.

The fragrant chicken braised in waterless scallion oil is not yet completely done.

There is only one last step left.

Jiang Rou once again took out the wild onion, cut off the green part with a knife, and then cut it horizontally into thin long strips.

Place green scallions on top of the chicken in a thin layer.

There was no small pot in the kitchen, so Jiang Rou used an enamel cup instead.

She poured cooking oil into the enamel cup and then put the enamel cup on the fire to heat it.

When the cooking oil starts to smoke, it's almost done.

Pour the steaming hot cooking oil over the shredded green onions and chicken.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Sizzle, sizzle!

It was like a jumping note, making a beautiful sound.

The aroma of green onions and the tenderness of chicken are thoroughly blended once again under the stimulation of high-temperature hot oil.

Zhao Guifen watched from the side, unwilling to move his eyes away, and kept swallowing his saliva.

This is really... so fragrant!

…

Jiang Rou made two dishes of waterless scallion oil braised chicken.

The bigger one is for the men who come to help.

The smaller one is a grown-up chick that was raised in the yard at home.

Because the food and drinks the chick eats are what Jiang Rou brought out from the Lingquan space, the chick grows very fast.

In less than a month, it already looks like a little chicken.

Jiang Rou asked Zhao Guifen for help and killed one.

That’s why there are two.

Jiang Rou gave the smaller one to the children and Zhao Guifen.

Don’t be fooled by its small size; chicken meat is actually more tender and tastier.

At lunch time.

Jiang Rou put the braised chicken in scallion oil in a large bowl and brought it out directly without even cutting it.

Anyway, these men are all rough guys, and eating chicken all day will only make them taste better.

So that men can eat more comfortably.

Jiang Rou brought the food and they ate in the yard of Zhao Guifen's house next door.

Separated by a wall.

In my own yard, I can still hear the sounds of exclamations and sighs clearly.

"Wow! Chicken! We have chicken to eat today! Captain Zhou, you are so polite!"

"It smells so good! My mouth is watering! I've never seen a chicken like this before, it smells so good."

"Go away, go away... Your saliva will make the chicken dirty, otherwise how can we eat it..."

The men were shouting loudly, but they were actually quite disciplined and no one was willing to take the first step.

Just waiting for Zhou Chongshan to speak.

Zhou Chongshan looked at the crowd and said.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat. This is what my wife made for you. Eat it. You're welcome. Work harder this afternoon and finish the roof as well."

"Thank you, Captain Zhou, and thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Thank you, Captain Zhou, and thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Don't worry, Captain Zhou! We will definitely finish building your house today!"

A strong body and voice, full of vigor and ambition.

the other side.

Zhao Guifen and her two sons, Da Huzi and Er Huzi, were also holding chopsticks and looking at Jiang Rou with embarrassed expressions.

Whenever Da Huzi and Er Huzi made a move, Zhao Guifen would slap them.

Zhao Guifen really felt that she had taken advantage of Jiang Rou. She did not contribute anything to building the house, so why did she just eat a meal at Jiang Rou's expense for free?

Jiang Rou noticed Zhao Guifen's embarrassment.

She took the initiative to tear off a chicken leg and gave it to Da Huzi, while Er Huzi got a chicken wing.

The same goes for Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua, one is a chicken drumstick and the other is a chicken wing.

“We eat too!”

As Jiang Rou picked up her chopsticks, this hot and noisy lunch in the sunshine finally began.

It smells so good!

Zhou Xiaochuan held the chicken leg and didn't say a word for a long time.

It’s not that I don’t want to eat it, but I’ve never experienced it before.

He never thought that he could actually hold a chicken leg and eat it with big mouthfuls.

In the past, he couldn't even get a piece of chicken claws.

There are big pieces of meat in my hands and the aroma in my breath...

All this seemed too unreal to the little wolf cub.

Jiang Rou took a look, a mischievous smile flashing in her eyes.

She looked at the dazed Zhou Xiaochuan and pushed his wrist.

The juicy chicken drumstick in Zhou Xiaochuan's hand was suddenly stuck in his mouth and cheeks, and the soy sauce-colored sauce covered his mouth.

Jiang Rou immediately turned around, pulled Zhou Xiaohua, and said happily.

"Xiaohua, look, your brother has turned into a little cat~"
