Tsk, tsk, tsk... Su Qingluan looked at the little chef's very natural attitude and sighed in her heart: Look at his emotional intelligence and his sharp eyesight! No wonder Xu Yuanwei didn't speak as hotly to this person as others just now!
Who doesn't want to have a well-behaved and smart little apprentice and helper by his side who doesn't go around asking for credit to show off?
For a moment, Su Qingluan even wanted to poach this person and bring him to his side. However, Su Qingluan took a closer look at the little chef's clothes. There were already embroidery patterns on the cuffs, but it was not a bright red like the chef Xu Yuanwei, but a greenish gray that was not eye-catching if you didn't look closely.
Su Qingluan understood that these were some levels of assistant cooks within Hongfu Building. They were different from simple handymen. They were there to train "successors".
If she was poached, Su Qingluan estimated that Xu Yuanwei would want to "execute" her on the spot with a kitchen knife, so she gave up her little thought with regret - it was just a casual thought anyway, nothing special. seriously.
Cutting the coriander on hand into long pieces, Su Qingluan thought that she had come to the right place to "rescue the situation".
Of course, the most important reason for coming here is that if you take the pig blood home directly, it will completely coagulate and it will not taste good. But the more important reason lies in something else.
The soup stock was the first reason why Su Qingluan came to Hongfu Tower, and the complete range of spices here was the second reason for coming here.
There are actually a lot of spices prepared at home, but she basically uses them alone.
Recently, Su Qingluan has been so busy that she can't wait to grab the cat's claws and use them, so these spices that are not commonly used and few people can even name them are shelved, let alone used for cooking. It is estimated that other people in the family don't even know where these spices are stored.
What's more, when it comes to the richness of spices, they still have to be here at Hongfu Tower - no other, the stalls of foreign merchants selling spices are not very far from Hongfu Tower, and it can only be reached by walking for a cup of tea. .
And Xu Yuanwei is a chef who refuses to stand still and stick to the rules. He is constantly trying to come up with new dishes - especially after Su Qingluan, a "strong competitor", appeared, he worked even harder.
Shopkeeper Liang is of course happy to see his chefs become competitive and enterprising, so Xu Yuanwei often tosses some unusual ingredients or spices to the kitchen, as if he is preparing some magic potion. Just like any experiment.
This was convenient for Su Qingluan, who needed various spices to "suppress" the fishy smell caused by pig blood and intestines.
In fact, Su Qingluan is not familiar with all these spices. After all, she has also used some compound spices such as "Thirteen Incense" in modern times. As for the mix of spices in it, she did not study it, but the merchant Nor will he take the initiative to leak secrets himself.
Cut off the coriander, mince the green onion and ginger, and wrap them together with the spices in gauze to make a "seasoning bag" and put it into the soup stock. After boiling the aroma of these seasonings over high heat, Su Qingluan adjusted the taste with salt and added a piece of pork. The oil melts inside.
The rich aroma of lard spreads instantly, making the soup more delicious and rich.
While filtering the foam, Su Qingluan transferred the broth to another large enamel basin and set it aside to cool down. Here, the pig blood was filtered with gauze to remove some of the pig blood that had begun to coagulate.
Because I didn’t have any handy tools, this step wasted some time. However, because of this, the soup stock placed next to it was located close to the air vent of the back door. The temperature outside was now low, so in such a short time, the soup stock inside It's no longer hot, just a little warm.
Su Qingluan thought it was just right. This way, pig blood would be added to the belt to prevent it from solidifying directly.
So she added a tablespoon of raw soybean oil - this soybean oil has been commonly used by the chefs of Hongfu Building since Su Qingluan used it to fry the meat slices - and then beat the two eggs and poured them into the already warm, The soup is further cooled by the addition of soybean oil.
Fortunately, Su Qingluan controlled the temperature of the soup to not be too hot, otherwise the liquid from these two eggs would turn into "egg drop soup".
Su Qingluan thought about it, slowly injecting the pig's blood into the soup stock that had been prepared and added with egg liquid, and stirred while adding it. The rich fragrance mixed with the strong smell of blood made the taste of this piece of meat become... The strange feeling of "smell and smell" made everyone look towards this corner involuntarily.
Even Xu Yuanwei, who ran out angrily because of Su Qingluan's "snubbing" and ended up counting the inventory in the warehouse behind, curiously came over to find out.
"Are you making blood sausage?" Xu Yuanwei sniffed, "I think your blood sausage tastes more fragrant. Is it because you added lard?"
Su Qingluan nodded: "Yes, lard and soybean oil are added to make the blood sausage taste more fragrant and smooth - oh, there is also beaten egg liquid, which can also ensure that the blood tofu is more tender and smooth."
Xu Yuanwei snorted coldly when he heard this: "You don't know anything about me. Such an important recipe comes out casually." After saying that, he raised his head and looked around, "You guys, every one of you here, I But remember it all, go out less and talk more! Do you hear me?!"
The last four words, Xu Yuanwei's voice exploded in the kitchen like a firecracker, and the kitchen that was not originally empty actually had some echoes from his roar.
Su Qingluan was closest to Xu Yuanwei and was the first to be affected by the "Lion's Roar Technique". Suddenly, his head was buzzing from the shock of the voice, and he was a little suspicious that his ears were exhausted.
However, she also understood that it was precisely because Xu Yuanwei was also a chef that he knew how important "a menu" in this era, even a menu that was improved on the original food, was. Su Qingluan was very moved by his awkward feelings - but he didn't dare to move.
After all, my ears are almost ringing now.
Su Qingluan originally did not intend to take all these blood sausages back, but left some for everyone to taste. So while vigorously stirring the broth and pig blood to make them mix more evenly, she looked up at Xu Yuanwei who was standing next to him: "Master Xu, you can try my blood sausage later, and if there are any shortcomings, please give me your opinion."
After a period of dealing with each other, Su Qingluan also gradually figured out Xu Yuanwei's "intelligence" - a big tsundere.
Although I was angry with her all day long for refusing to admit defeat, it was also because I met my colleagues who refused to admit defeat. But Su Qingluan never hated this kind of "not admitting defeat" spirit, because even if he was defeated, even if he was unwilling, Xu Yuanwei never used unfair means once.
What's more, he will protect Su Qingluan's interests at every turn to prevent her from inadvertently suffering a loss - just like what happened just now.
So in a sense, Su Qingluan thinks this thirty or forty-year-old uncle is quite cute.
