A few medicinal dishes, steaming what should be steamed, and waking up what should be done.
While Fu Yu was taking the hawthorn cake from the refrigerator, he quickly looked through the recipes favored by anorexic customers for the specific instructions for the medicinal meal he was about to make.
The ingredients for this medicinal meal are very simple and the operation is not difficult. The only subtlety lies in the presentation.
After all, if you want to make anorexic patients have the desire to eat, first of all, in terms of visual effects, people must have a very novel impulse to try.
Fu Yu chose the honey cherries with novel cooking methods and very creative presentation.
Although the name of this herbal dish is a bit unremarkable, the visual impression of the finished product is ingenious, exquisite and gorgeous.
Fu Yu made this medicinal meal the finale.
Whether Xia Anni can eat anything tonight depends entirely on this dish.
Standing in front of the refrigerator, Fu Yu opened the door and began to blow the air conditioner to cool himself down while quickly looking through the recipes that anorexic customers liked.
When he first came here, Fu Yu thought that Liu Yiming's home was so warm because the heating was better.
After waiting for a while, I realized that the temperature in the room was so high that it was entirely heated by the central air conditioner!
He is a rich man after all!
It’s just different!
After busy cooking for a long time, Fu Yure was sweating profusely.
After cooling down for a while with the air-conditioning of the refrigerator, I took out the solidified hawthorn cake.
The hawthorn cake was made very successfully. Fu Yu used a knife to draw a circle along the edge of the pot, and used a little force to flip the pot upside down on the eucalyptus board.
During the operation, his movements were very casual, completely ignoring the fact that the hawthorn cake was obviously deformed when it was placed, as if he didn't care at all that the hawthorn cake would fall apart.
Even though Li Zongming had a lot of research on medicated meals, he couldn't figure out for a while which medicated meal Fu Yu made.
Ren Yuchang had no clue at all. Hawthorn could indeed be used as medicine, but he privately believed that neither hawthorn cake nor hawthorn jam could be considered a complete medicinal diet.
Otherwise, it would be a bit too confusing.
Among the people, only Yao Shi's eyes lit up slightly when he saw Fu Yu's very casual taking action.
He thought of a dish, stuffed hawthorn.
However, the specific method is different from Fu Yu's current operation.
The method of making authentic hawthorn wine is to clean the hawthorns and then make a few cuts on the fruit with a knife to facilitate the flavoring.
Use sugar water boiled with rock sugar and brown sugar to boil hawthorn.
After cooking and changing color, you can take it out of the pot.
However, this dish needs to be brewed with sugar water for two days before it can be eaten.
Very appetizing and soothing to the throat, with moderate sweetness and sourness.
Fu Yu's current operation is not very similar.
Even if it is an improved version, under normal circumstances, the hawthorn core should be removed, boiled in sugar water, and filled with hawthorn jam.
This makes sense.
However, Fu Yu made a bowl of jam and a small pot of hawthorn cake...
Could it be possible that he planned to use hawthorn cake to shape it into a hawthorn shape and then fill it with hawthorn jam?
In this case, maybe the taste can be slightly better?
However, no matter how you think about it, it feels a bit like taking off your pants and farting.
Yao Shi was puzzled anyway and could only focus on Fu Yu's operations, wanting to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Fu Yu put the frozen hawthorn cake aside. Instead of rushing to operate it, he fished out the remaining hawthorns from the salt water and cut them into small pieces.
Add water and use a breaker to make jam.
Sieve the beaten jam.
Put all the beaten jam into a pot and heat to stir-fry.
Fu Yu chose a flat-bottomed ceramic pot from Liu Yiming's family. Using a non-metal pot to fry the jam can better ensure the original flavor of the jam and maintain its original color.
During the frying process, low heat was used. Fu Yu added sugar while frying, and kept stirring in the Wuhu pot.
When cooking, especially operations like making sauces or making jams like this, even if it is done by Yao Shi, you need to taste it properly to determine whether the sweetness and saltiness are appropriate.
But Yao Shi discovered that Fu Yu was just the old god stirring the food and adding sugar from time to time, but he never tasted it.
Referring to his previous assumptions, Yao Shi became more and more sure of his judgment. Fu Yu indeed had a unique talent in flavoring.
This time Fu Yu fried the jam until it was thick and not dripping, then turned off the heat.
Spread the jam on a baking sheet lined with foil and smooth it out.
Then put it directly into the oven for baking.
After setting the time, Fu Yu took over the hawthorn cake, then took a clean tray, scooped out a piece of hawthorn cake with a small spoon, and kneaded it in his hands.
Everyone only saw the slight movement of his fingertips, and within a few seconds, he placed the kneaded ball on the fruit plate.
Fu Yu repeated the operation and pinched out a total of more than twenty small red balls. Then he picked up the toothpick and began to press on the small red balls to create the special shape of the fruit base joint and the fruit socket.
Finally, press an arc on the same side of each little red ball.
This time, even Ren Yuchang, who was not good at cooking, could see that the shapes made by Fu Yu turned out to be red cherries without stems, but they looked very vivid.
The tray is filled with pinched cherries.
At first glance, no matter the size or shape, it seems to be engraved in the same mold, vivid, delicate and cute.
Fu Yu took a look himself and was very satisfied.
He carefully put the tray aside and found a bag of fresh tangerines that the buyer had specially bought.
If it were summer, Fu Yu would have asked the buyer to bring back some cherry leaves.
It's a pity that in the fruit shop in winter, the only ones you can buy are oranges with branches and leaves. The other fruits are bare with no leaves at all.
However, fortunately, the texture of the orange leaves is very clear, so the effect should be very good.
Fu Yu poured out all the oranges in the bag and carefully selected a few orange leaves with complete shapes.
He cleaned the prepared orange leaves and used kitchen paper to absorb the moisture on the surface.
After handling the orange leaves, Fu Yu took a piece of matcha-flavored chocolate, unwrapped it and placed it on a deep plate.
Put water in the pot, and when it heats to 60 or 70 degrees, put the plate with chocolate into the pot, heat it over water until the chocolate melts, and stir until there are no chocolate particles.
Then use a soft brush, dip some chocolate in it, and spread it gently and evenly on the leaves.
During the operation, Fu Yu strictly followed the requirements of the anorexic customer's favorite recipes and specially painted the back of the orange leaves.
Because the texture on the back is clearer, the chocolate leaves are made in reverse, and painting the back of the leaves is exactly the same as the front.
Since it was my first time to try it, I don’t know if it was due to a problem with the chocolate itself or because he didn’t control the amount when brushing it correctly. I felt that it was a bit too thin.
After hesitating for a moment, he painted all the oranges, waited for the chocolate to dry a little, and then painted it again.
After completing this step, Fu Yu put the chocolate orange leaves aside and took the risen Wubai sweet cake dough.
The mold that the buyer bought was the smallest mooncake mold according to his requirements.
The style is a combination of three-dimensional cherry blossoms and cute little animals.
Three-dimensional Sakura Six Styles are six kinds of cherry blossom-shaped grinding tools, and they also come with a full set of food coloring.
Fu Yu cleaned all the molds, wiped away the water stains with paper towels, and then put the assembled Wubai sweet cake into the molds to shape.
After setting, put the Wubai sweet cake into a pot filled with cold water and steam it over high heat.
After setting a time, Fu Yu took back the tray with chocolate orange leaves.
The chocolate has completely set.
He picked up the orange leaves, started to separate them from the tail end, and slowly separated the leaves downwards. They were separated easily.
During his movements, Fu Yu was very careful and his technique was very gentle, for fear that the chocolate would be broken if he didn't pay attention.
After picking all the orange leaf chocolates, Fu Yu went to the oven and took out the hawthorn puree that had just been baked.
The surface of the puree in the baking pan has been baked and dry.
Xia Anni raised her head to take a look curiously, and then realized that what Fu Yu baked was clearly fruit peel!
She glanced at the fruit peels spread out on the baking sheet, her heart was still intact, and she still had no appetite at all.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but just out of curiosity, I followed everyone to the kitchen to watch Fu Yu cook, just for fun.
But as waves of fragrance spread out, she began to feel a little nauseated.
The agent's attention was always on Xia Anne. Seeing that she was obviously uncomfortable, he hurriedly said: "Annie, why don't we go sit outside for a while?"
Liu Yiming was standing next to them. Hearing this, he turned around and saw that Xia Anni didn't look well, so he also advised her: "Yes, it's too hot in the kitchen. Come on, go to the living room to rest for a while. When dinner starts, I'll I’ll call you later.”
Xia Anni really felt a little uncomfortable, so she didn't shirk anymore. She followed the manager out of the kitchen and went to the living room to taste the medicinal food later.
Sitting on the sofa, the manager asked concernedly: "How is it? Did you feel nauseated again just now?"
Xia Anni nodded, calmed down, and then said: "The smell of the broth is really disgusting."
The agent turned around and looked around. It was true that no one was around. Then he couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "I thought medicinal food was some magical thing, but it turns out that this is it..."
Quail soup, stewed chicken, steamed fish, pasta...
Apart from adding two extra herbs during cooking, I really don’t see anything special about it.
Anyway, it’s different from what I imagined.
Xia Anni didn't say anything, but she was actually quite disappointed in her heart.
Mainly because the sister who heard Liu Yiming boast about the medicinal diet was so amazing!
What's so delicious, it tastes so fresh!
The presentation is particularly beautiful and makes you very appetizing!
What’s particularly effective is that after just a few courses of treatment, you can see significant changes!
...
It may be that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Anyway, Xia Anni doesn't have much expectations for Yu Chuang's medicinal diet now.
After all, with these dishes, no matter how creative the chef is, can he still put flowers on them?
And she really couldn't eat anything like this kind of stewed meat and soup.
Usually, the food I barely eat is soda crackers. The soup is so watery that I almost feel like vomiting if I smell it more.
The agent poured a glass of warm water over.
Xia Anni held the cup but did not drink.
In fact, she also felt that her throat was a little dry, but she just didn't want to drink, as if she would spit it out immediately if she took a sip of water.
The agent advised: "Just take one sip. If you don't eat anything and just drink water, you can survive for a month. If you don't eat or drink, it won't take more than three days, and you're basically done."
Xia Anni took a helpless sip of water, but was stared at by her agent. She paused and took another reluctant sip.
The agent sighed when he saw it.
Thinking of the medicated meals being made in the busy kitchen, she really looked forward to the young chef.
There is no other reason, as long as Xia Anni can have a good meal, no, as long as she can have two bites of normal meals.
How would this person be in good health if he really got rid of all kinds of food?
Thinking of this, the agent couldn't help but sigh again.
...
In the kitchen, Fu Yu put the fruit peel on the kitchen table to cool, then turned around and took out the steamed catfish with shredded ginger in the pot.
The meat of the catfish is very tender, and it is steamed with shredded ginger. After it comes out of the pot, it smells of a rich and fresh aroma.
I don't know if it's dinner time in the evening, but everyone in the kitchen looked at the steamed fish on the plate and smelled the tempting aroma, and suddenly felt a little hungry.
Fu Yu, however, did not rush to serve. Instead, he used taiko to skillfully lift the fish body slightly and pinch out two large pieces of tender meat from the lower abdomen.
Then take the spinach and carrot, cut them into shreds, blanch them in boiling water, divide the two large pieces of fish into four equal parts, roll them into balls with your hands, and cross-tie them with spinach shreds and carrot shreds.
The steamed fish meat is very loose. After being rolled into a ball, it is wrapped with shredded spinach and carrots to prevent it from falling apart.
At this time, Fu Yu was really grateful to the system for giving him the flexibility of his fingers.
Since his finger flexibility has been improved, tasks like tying vegetable strips are no longer difficult for him.
In a situation that even he himself felt was extremely magical, he tied four very small fish balls into a bow tie smoothly and easily.
The white fish meatballs are wrapped with orange carrot strips and green spinach strips. The three colors look very beautiful together.
Fu Yu took a delicate small porcelain bowl, put four fish balls in it, and then poured the soup from the steamed fish plate on top.
This steamed catfish with shredded ginger specially made for Xia Anni is considered complete.
As for the whole catfish, it can be served directly to the table later as today's medicinal dish, and others can taste it together.
"What's in this small bowl...is it a medicinal meal for Annie?"
Liu Yiming looked at the exquisite and unique fish balls in the pure white porcelain bowl and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is so beautifully made!"
Fu Yu nodded: "Yes, Miss Xia doesn't have much appetite, so just try a small amount of each herbal meal. Today I will try the taste first, and then increase the amount little by little after customizing the herbal meal process."
