Apart from making money, Jiang Yu's only hobby is cooking. After she and Wen Yanqing left the courtyard, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy ingredients for that night, and then went to the general's compound.
She gave the ingredients to Uncle Lin, asked him to make the chicken soup first, and then went back to her room to rest.
After taking a nap, he walked to the kitchen, ready to fulfill his promise to Wen Yanqing at noon.
While guiding Wen Yanqing in kneading the noodles, she was also responsible for the most critical step in making the noodles - the topping.
After the noodles were cooked, she poured a large spoonful of steaming hot sauce over the plain noodles.
The noodles were piping hot and Uncle Lin carefully brought them to the table.
When Mr. Wen smelled the fragrant noodles with gravy, he couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks.
The moment you pick up the noodles, the noodle soup shakes and the slightly spicy, sweet and delicious aroma becomes stronger.
The broth for the noodles is brown-red, bright and shiny, with white noodles and thick broth. The yellow egg skins, black wood ear mushrooms, red carrots, and tender white tofu cubes are mixed together to create a rich color.
Stir evenly with chopsticks, the sauce will still be thick and not loose, tightly wrapping the noodles of even thickness.
So he ran to the kitchen again, and asked Jiang Yu to bring the big stone mill, and then took out the millet to grind flour. Seeing this, Jiang Yu naturally stood aside and watched, and hurried down to help.
So the scene like that appeared in the kitchen: Wen Yanqing was pushing the stone mill while teasing Uncle Lin, and Uncle Lin was throwing millet with loud laughter from time to time.
I walked over, and when Jiang Yu spoke, Uncle Lin, who was working hard, was startled and glared at me.
After eating, have a bowl of delicious chicken soup, it tastes amazing.
The egg flowers scattered in the broth are thin and flexible, with a mellow egg aroma, which is particularly conspicuous in the brown-red broth. Because the egg flowers are thin, they are flavorful enough. When you chew them, the salty and fragrant broth overflows from the egg flowers, and the chewy and refreshing noodles become less and less flavorful the more you chew them.
Good soup is essential for making stews. Slow-cooked chicken soup with diced shiitake mushrooms is so delicious that you can’t wait to swallow it.
Because there was a hot and cold wind inside, Uncle Lin closed all the windows in the kitchen, leaving only a small gap for ventilation. That way, he would get overheated while cooking and also get carbon monoxide poisoning from staying there for a long time.
I was so absorbed in eating that I finished all the soup in a short while.
You can stop cooking while making the cold cake, as long as you keep stirring it to prevent lumps from sticking together in the pot. You can't turn off the heat until the white water in the pot gradually solidifies.
The thick stewed soup and noodles wrapped around the outside of the mouth are hot and fresh. A little white pepper is sprinkled on the stewed soup, and the hotness arouses the spicy aroma of pepper, which is spicy and fresh, and mellow. Add a few drops of vinegar, and eat one mouthful after another. The stewed soup is so delicious that the corners of the mouth are covered with it, and it can't stop coming up.
It is chewy yet sticky, with a strong sweetness from the sugar water and a slight bitter taste of burnt aroma. As the chewy and soft cold cake sways in and out of your mouth, the sweetness is scattered and the sweetness is refreshing.
Uncle Lin just finished eating a while ago. You are still very excited because you bought the yard you liked today.
I also know how the noodles are kneaded. Even though there is soup, they are not sticky at all. They are flexible and smooth, and each strand is clearly distinct.
Turn the jelly over in a large bowl, scoop a few spoonfuls of sugar water and pour it over the jelly, sprinkle with white sesame seeds, and the sugar jelly will be ruined.
Wen Yanqing watched you eat a bowl and just eat it: "Wife, you made so little, and he only ate one bowl?"
After eating such delicious noodles, it is hard not to eat them elegantly. Wen Yanqing was still restraining himself after finishing the meal, but when he got to the front, he picked up a small chopstick and slurped it into his mouth.
Uncle Lin was concentrating on the task at hand, and he nodded back, "Grinding flour."
In order to save my image of wolfing down the food in front of Uncle Lin, I resisted the urge to drink up the soup in one gulp, and instead picked up the spoon beside me and quickly scooped up the soup to drink.
The chicken broth was crystal clear, dotted with emerald green scallions. A spoonful revealed a faint hint of chicken fat beneath the surface. It was piping hot, then a chilling sensation carried through to the stomach, intensely fresh and rich, yet not at all greasy. The pepper beneath the surface only added to the chill. Before the cold broth reached me, I felt a sense of relief.
What if I’m really tired?
The jelly cake is as white as jade, rough and shiny, and the white sugar is slightly brown, which makes the jelly cake look even whiter.
As soon as you take a sip, you will understand the magic of the thick sauce. The sauce is fresh and fragrant, and the noodles are paired with just the right amount of saltiness. It is fresh and fragrant, mellow and not greasy.
Before grinding the flour, Uncle Lin poured it into a basin, and Wen Yanqing followed you to the stove.
White sugar jelly is actually a good product for cooling off in the summer, but for you who are greedy at the moment, it doesn’t matter whether it cools off in the summer or not, as long as it can satisfy your craving.
Hearing that, Old Master Wen felt more relieved than drinking iced sugar water in the dog days of summer: "His child is not filial, but he does it too often. It will become bad after doing it once."
Uncle Lin and Wen Yanqing each had a bowl and started eating while standing in the kitchen.
You ask Wen Yanqing to put the pot on high heat, mix the finely ground millet rice and glutinous rice flour with water, stir the warm water in the pot with a small spoon, and quickly pour in the mixed slurry.
When Wen Yanqing came back from Park Jianjun's place, she saw Jiang Yu pushing the millstone around in circles, and Liu Jing throwing millet out of the millstone with shining eyes.
You just had something cold and salty at noon, and now you are not hungry and want to eat something cold and sweet.
It was obvious, Liu Jingnan nodded, then looked at Jiang Yu and spoke.
Uncle Lin smiled and said, "Grandpa should eat less of this. You used to cook it for him often."
Before the jelly turns completely cold, it still has a soft cool feeling inside and out. It has a soft, tender and smooth texture, not a bit like jelly, but it is tougher and more sticky than jelly when chewed.
Old Master Wen on the side also enjoyed the food more and more, his beard trembling as he ate, and it was obvious that he was enjoying it very much.
Pour the thick white paste into the bowl, set it aside to cool, then boil the sugar over high heat until it melts. The jelly cake will be completely solidified before the sugar is cooked and cooled.
Jiang Yu looked at the heartwarming scene with a smile in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Wen Yanqing immediately stepped down and took over: "Jiang Yu is in trouble since you came here, let him go and rest." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and snatched my job.
"Dayu, the soup that goes under the noodles is so delicious. The shiitake mushrooms are fresh and fragrant, the egg skin is mellow and fresh, the bamboo shoots are fragrant, and the wood ear mushrooms are light, but there's a hint of meaty aroma from the broth. His cooking skills are really getting better and better. Everything he makes tastes delicious."
It seems that it is possible for me to be the first to eat the food made by Uncle Lin.
Wen Yanqing touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, then walked up to Liu Jing and said, "I mean it badly, wife, I scared him. What is he doing?"
Later, like Mr. Wen, I thought that Wen Yanqing would end up living alone because of her personality. Who could have imagined that I would behave like that in front of my lover.
Uncle Lin nodded: "One bowl of soup is enough to fill me up." After saying that, he put the bowl down. Then you remembered something and asked Wen Yanqing to deliver it to Grandpa Wen and the neighbors next door.
As soon as Jiang Yu saw my expression, he knew what I was thinking. He sighed secretly and silently made way for Liu Jingnan.
