Xi Shunyun's house is considered large here, with two large tile-roofed rooms, and it is also very clean. The three of them entered the room and sat down separately.
Xi Shunyun asked his two children to make tea for the guests.
The two children did as they were told, which made him very happy, and he looked at Teacher Wanqing gratefully again.
This girl is not only beautiful, but also really capable. In less than a month, the two children have become a different person. How can he not be happy?
After the tea was brewed, he asked the two children to call their mother back to cook.
Zheng Bajin was busy stopping him and said with a smile: "I heard that we were coming to your house for dinner. Her mother had wanted to do it for a long time, but I stopped her. We agreed that Wanqing would treat everyone to dinner, so of course it was Teacher Wanqing. Do it yourself, don’t bother learning from Jian’s mother, I’ll just follow along and get started.”
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Xi Shunyun said hurriedly. For him, asking him to cook by himself was more uncomfortable than killing him. Although Zheng Bajin said that Teacher Wanqing cooked the food himself, what did that mean?
No, why is the teacher treating me to dinner?
Wanqing had already stood up and said: "Brother is right. I promised to cook for the two children. Naturally, I will cook it myself, so I don't need to bother Madam. By the way, if you have any ingredients, just give them to me."
When she came in, she had already discovered that next to the big tile-roofed house, there was a small tile-roofed house, which was darkened by the smoke. It must be the kitchen.
Xi Shunyun always felt embarrassed and declined a few words. Seeing that Wanqing insisted on doing this, the two children also said that they must try the food cooked by Teacher Wanqing, so they had no choice but to agree.
Zheng Bajin also stood up and said he could do the rough work himself.
Xi Shunyun pointed to the chickens that were kept outside and said, "There are two eunuch chickens there. They taste better. Please catch them and kill them."
Zheng Bajin took a look and saw that the two roosters did not have long teeth and were not very old. On the other hand, the other two roosters had long and curved tusks and looked like they were two years old. He pointed and said: "In my opinion, these two roosters are better."
"The rooster has less meat, and the chicken is more tender, so it can be used to entertain guests." Xi Shunyun did not expect that Boss Zheng was interested in the rooster and insisted on it.
Once, he heard someone say that city people, especially rich people, generally do not eat roosters, and their favorite food is chicken.
Zheng Bajin smiled and said: "The rooster is good. The price in the market is not as good as that of the rooster. That's because the people in the city don't understand that the rooster tastes better."
"Okay, Boss Zheng, you have the final say." Xi Shunyun smiled, pointed at the two children, and said, "Isn't it usually first-rate to catch chickens? What are you waiting for?"
The two of them had been waiting for this order for a long time, and they rushed towards the two roosters together.
Free-range roosters are very flexible. It is difficult for ordinary people to catch them with such force. They can fly several meters away with one wing. However, Xi Xuejian and Xi Xueliang did not give them a chance to react, and both rushed to the chicken.
Before the two roosters could spread their wings, they were caught red-handed and brought to Zheng Bajin with their feet in hand.
"Tie them up first, and I'll get a knife." Xi Shunyun said, turned around and walked into the kitchen, holding out a kitchen knife.
However, Zheng Bajin had already taken the one from Xi Xuejian's hand and said that there was no need to go to such trouble, just a knife would be enough. Then he asked Xi Xuejian to get a bowl, pour a small amount of water and add a little salt.
When Xi Shunyun was wondering what to do with the water, Zheng Bajin had already slit the chicken's throat and put the blood in the bowl.
Seeing that Xi Xuejian didn't know what to do, Zheng Bajin asked him to get a larger basin so that he could scald the chicken right away.
Xi Shunyun then remembered that the water had not been boiled yet.
However, you can burn firewood in the kitchen, and you can boil a pot of water in no time.
Zheng Bajin quickly killed both roosters and threw them into the basin, waiting for the two children to boil water.
At this time, he scooped two ladles of water into the basin and gave the chickens a cold bath first. Xi Shunyun and Tang Zhengwen were stunned for a moment, the boss really knows how to play!
When the water boiled, the two of them gained insights again. Zheng Bajin poured boiling water, mixed a few with a stick, and poured the water after making sure that his whole body was scalded.
At this time, give them a cold bath casually.
Then, with both hands, they moved incredibly fast. With a few handfuls, they took off the feathers from one chicken, and then another.
The whole process, from taking a second cold bath to the two chickens being left without a hair on their body, would not take more than two minutes.
If you are a slower person, two minutes is not enough to pick up the tool.
Everyone was stunned.
"Boss, it seems that you have gained experience in eating chicken. How can you make chicken so fast?" Xi Xueliang looked at Zheng Bajing with envy and said.
Zheng Bajin was stunned, good guy, what do you mean?
Wanqing was also stunned and said that she would cook. It turned out that Brother Zheng was so capable that she didn't need her help at all.
In a short time, Zheng Bajin had prepared two chickens, with the internal organs being the internal organs and the meat being the meat.
"By the way, is there Zhaotong sauce?" Zheng Bajin said, cutting the turned intestines into several sections.
"Yes, yes!" Xi Shunyun finally realized that it was the one at home who did it himself.
Zheng Bajin nodded and said, "A little more ginger would be better."
"Yes!" Xi Shunyun realized at this moment that he was really a capable person. He buried endless amounts of ginger in the soil and wanted to eat it now.
Of course, sometimes seedlings will grow, but this does not affect consumption.
Zheng Bajin nodded. At this moment, he was free and directed the two brothers of Xi Xueliang's family to complete such small tasks as scraping ginger, cutting dried chili peppers, and picking peppercorns.
Instead, Wanqing idled aside. Although she was very sorry, she also gained knowledge and thought, if she has a chance to study hard, she will definitely cook a delicious meal for Brother Zheng in the future.
After everything was ready, Zheng Bajin started frying the chicken.
First, he put an appropriate amount of lard in the pot and said to Wanqing: "Remember, you must put lard. Other oils are also acceptable, but they don't taste good."
As he said this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking of the twenty-first century. There are too many types of oil, and some people say that lard is not healthy and makes you gain weight easily.
Really...
Lard is the best, not to mention the taste, but the quality. At least it can be guaranteed that it comes from pigs and is natural and pollution-free.
At this time, the oil was already boiling. Zheng Bajin grabbed a handful of peppercorns and threw them into the pot, then added dried chili peppers and garlic. When it's almost fried, add the chicken directly.
Wanqing pointed at Jiang and asked strangely: "Brother, why don't you put this?"
"You can put this in later or put it in first. The taste is the same. However, the chicken must be fried for a while and then simmered in water." Zheng Bajin patiently taught Wanqing that since there was no hot pot base, she could only use sauce. replace.
There was something choking in the kitchen. Zheng Bajin mixed the food for a while, then handed the spoon to Wanqing and asked her to continue.
Xi Shunyun was watching the two guests busy at work, and felt embarrassed at first. Later, he was confused by Zheng Bajin's cooking skills. It turned out that braised chicken is so particular.
Maybe, this is what people call heat!
