The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

Chef Bao's mysterious appearance attracted all of Zhou Quan's attention. He stared at Chef Bao's every move, just wanting to see how he "conjures" fragrant kebabs in his lackluster kitchen.

Chef Bao bent down and found the cast-iron frying pan that the Zhou family hadn't used for a long time from the lowest part of the cupboard.

After cleaning the iron pan, light the fire on the stove side, and place the iron pan directly on the stove without oil or other things, that is, put the iron pan on the fire and dry it.

The wok made of cast iron has very good thermal conductivity. After a few minutes of dry cooking, Zhouquan saw that the wok began to smoke slightly, and the bottom began to turn red.

Curious, Zhou Quan walked over and stretched out his hand, shaking it on the empty iron pot, and then quickly took it back.

God, this iron pot can already feel the heat even if it is just close to it. What is Brother Baoyan going to do?

Just when Zhou Quan was puzzled, the mutton in Chef Bao's hand had already been skewered, and he walked over with more than a dozen skewers of mutton. This temperature should be fine."

As he said that, he put the lamb skewers with serial numbers directly on the top of the cast iron pot, and put the metal skewers on the edge of the pot, and it started grilling in a decent manner.

Zhou Quan was dumbfounded when he saw this, he looked at the iron pot on the stove, and looked at the mutton skewers being heated in the air on the iron pot, feeling very magical.

Is it really okay to bake without fire?

Hey, Brother Baoyan actually added the lid on the pot again, and left it alone after the lid was on. Is this letting the mutton skewers to survive on their own?

Chef Bao, who was getting more and more mysterious, really left those mutton skewers in the cast iron pot, and went to the outhouse to check the mess in the iron pot.

Feeling that the heat is almost ready, he added the sliced ​​meat that had been left outside before, and after a while, he added oil consumption, five-spice powder and chicken essence.

While the other party was busy, Zhou Quan quietly came to the side of the stove, looked inside through the transparent part of the lid, and found that the mutton skewers grilled inside had really changed color.

The discoloration of the meat is a phenomenon of cooking. The mutton that was placed in the air without touching any open flame actually started to become cooked.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Zhouquan was amazed. Regardless of the sultry heat next to the fire, he bent down and watched carefully beside the iron pot.

When Chef Bao came in to look for a vegetable bowl, he saw his family's Fa Xiao with such a miraculous expression on his face, squatting next to the stove he had just left.

Thinking that there was something wrong with the baking process, Chef Bao came over to check and found that everything was normal.

So friends, have you ever seen kebabs?

Shouldn't it?In the past, I have led him to harm beef and mutton, and the grilled ones are the basic ones.

Sensing someone beside him, the familiar aura made Zhou Quan know who was approaching without raising his head.

He grabbed the other party's sleeve and said excitedly: "It's done, it's done, the kebab is done."

Chef Bao:......

Forget it, as long as he looked happy, the chef of Bao's family, thinking so, went back to the outhouse again, and put the cooked stew on the kang table.

After returning, Chef Bao, like Zhou Quan, bent down to check the cooking status of the mutton skewers inside from the transparent part of the pot lid. He could judge the current heat of the mutton with just one glance.

Nine-medium-rare is Zhou Zhou's favorite heat, and it can be taken out to stir-fry.

When the lid was lifted, a strong smell of mutton filled the kitchen. Chef Bao put the grilled mutton skewers on a plate beside him, and turned the stove to low heat.

As the flame became smaller, the temperature around the stove and on the iron pot began to drop slowly. Bao Yan kept feeling the temperature of the iron pot with his hands, and put cumin and raw white sesame seeds into the iron pot when he could among.

After a few minutes of low heat and slow frying, the skins of the sesame and cumin began to change color, and a light yellowish color appeared on the surface of the seasoning.

As the seasoning in the pot began to change color, the special aroma of sesame and cumin began to waft out. Chef Bao felt that it was almost done. He turned off the valve of the gas tank under the stove and fried the fragrant sesame and cumin to the mutton on the plate. Sprinkling it on a skewer, Zhou Quan's saliva almost flowed out.

Oh my god, it's so fragrant, isn't that what lamb skewers grilled over real charcoal fire look like?

If you hadn't seen those mutton skewers from raw to cooked, who would have believed that they were made in an iron pan?

Zhou Quan was holding the plate of kebabs in an iron pan, Chef Bao was holding the rice cooker in the back, the two of them sat cross-legged on the kang, shouted to start, after that, Zhou Quan couldn't wait to reach out to the plate of kebabs.

He grabbed a bunch and sent it to Chef Bao opposite, while he held the other in his hand.

After looking at it and smelling it, both the color and the aroma are seven or eight points similar to those he had charcoal roasted before.

Taking a bite carefully, the first thing I feel is the special aroma of sesame and cumin after heating.

Zhouquan gasped as he ate too fast and was scalded, but even so he refused to let go.

Enduring the heat, he tore off the piece of tender mutton he was biting from the iron stick, and swallowed it whole into his mouth, and the full juice spurted out after one bite.

The rib meat of the lamb is a very delicious part of the lamb. It is fat and thin and soft and hard. Although the method of roasting the lamb skewers in an iron pan makes the kebabs less charcoal, but roasting has the benefits of roasting, the best At least the gravy in the mutton was locked up without an open flame.

It is also burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, but the difference is that in addition to the aroma of grilling, the skewers of lamb also have the freshness and sweetness of vegetables, the fragrance of celery, the sweetness of carrots, and the unique smell of onions mixed with lamb. , fresh as spring.

At the beginning, Zhou Quan could barely maintain a bite of meat, but after eating it, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he almost took off the meat from a bunch of iron skewers with a flick of his head, and then ate it all in one bite.

Zhou Quan ate two-thirds of the dozen skewers of mutton kebabs in an iron pan. Satisfied, he wiped the grease from his mouth with a toilet paper while reminiscing about the food just now.

Seeing this, Chef Bao sent the pot of stew to him, and then handed him the rice bowl and said: "If you like to eat, you can open your belly at night, I have half a lamb chop marinated over there." , definitely enough for you to eat."

Zhou Quan heard the words, but the rice bowl asked while he was eating rice: "You have seen it in our house, the cast iron pot in the kitchen can't handle half a lamb chop, you don't want to use the two pots in the outhouse. A big iron pot, right?"

Chef Bao chuckled and said, "Why did you go to my old house? Has the old kitchen in the old house been remodeled? The stove and oven can be used directly. Wait for the construction team at night All the workers have left, call Shang Wenli and Bao Erlong, we should have a good get together."

Zhou Quan, Bao Yan, Chen Wenli, and Bao Rong, that is, Bao Erlong, were four people who grew up together in the village.

Bao Yan and Chen Wenli are the same age, Zhou Quan and Bao Rong are one year younger than them, but because Zhou Quan goes to school early, so he is in the same class as Bao Yan' and Chen Wenli.

Hearing that Chef Bao wanted to hold a party, Zhou Quan expressed his full support, and immediately called the other two parties to inform them of the time and place of the party.

Half an hour later, their lunch was over, the pot of stew was eaten by Zhou Quan, only some soup was left to cover the basin, and Er Zhou Quan was lying on the kang with his belly on his stomach and humming.

When Chef Bao saw this, he was very angry and funny, fearing that he would hurt his food and climb up on the kang to drive people away: "Don't lie down after eating like this, go down and clean the dishes, and go for a walk in the yard, or you will have to eat health food again." Stomach Xiaoshi tablets."

Hearing this, Zhou Quan got up from the kang, quickly cleaned up the dishes, and took them to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

When Zhou Quan was busy, Chef Bao had already changed his clothes, lifted the laundry tub for marinated lamb chops from the kitchen, and said to Zhou Quan: "Zhou Zhou, I'll go to the old house to have a look. By the way, bring the lamb chops, and you can go find me directly after you finish your work in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Zhou Quan said he knew it, and among the old washing machines at home, seeing that the old double-bar pulsator washing machine was still working normally, Zhou Quan left with peace of mind. Who went to the room to take a nap.

Dimly, Zhouquan felt as if someone was talking in the house, and thought it was someone entering the house, Zhouquan woke up instantly.

But he didn't get up to check immediately, but turned over and opened his eyes slightly, squinting and looking around the room.

The voice is still there, but there is no one else in the room. What's going on?

After making sure there was no danger around, Zhou Quan turned over and sat up, looking in the direction of the voice.

After a while, Zhouquan opened his eyes wide and covered his mouth, and sat there stiffly, unable to believe what he saw.

The author has something to say:

The essentials for making fragrant kebabs, the first must be an iron pan, and it must be a thick iron pan, and the sticks for the second kebabs must be metal, so that the heat conductivity will be good, there is no need to turn over but remember to add a lid , Fourth, remember to wear gloves when holding the metal stick...
