I am from New Oriental

Chapter 60 Fried Buns

"Brother, Yanyan said that he happened to be fine, and he can do it at noon." Wen Jingyi said with a smile.

"En." Wen Jingjun felt that this was expected.

"That big brother, I'll pick him up now." Wen Jingyi stood up, looked at his big brother after a moment of hesitation, "Brother, do you still have that ointment?"

"What ointment?"

"It's the one you gave me before." Wen Jingyi gestured, "The one that immediately reduces inflammation and swelling when you put it on. I want it from Yanyan."

"You gave it to him?" Wen Jingjun frowned slightly, "Go and pick him up first, I'll bring the ointment there."

"Then, Brother Wen, I will go with Jingyi too."

After both of them left, Wen Jingjun picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Is that still there?"

The person opposite said a number.Wen Jingjun was silent for a while, "Bring me one and set aside my share for this year."

When Yang Le drove over, Chen Yan was reading computer books in the library and thinking about the noon menu.

The phone beeped, and Chen Yan knew that Wen Jingyu had arrived, so he quickly packed up his things, and left the library with a bunch of books he borrowed.

"Brother?" Chen Yan didn't expect Yang Le to drive here.

"You really love to study, borrowing so many books." Wen Jingyi next to him got out of the car and helped Chen Yan put the books in the back seat. "Get in the car. What shall we have for lunch?"

"Brother, what do you want to eat?" Chen Yan asked Yang Le with his head.

"I can eat whatever you want. I like to eat whatever you cook." Yang Le took the time to answer while driving. He spoke from the bottom of his heart. He had eaten the food made by Chen Yan a few times, and he really didn't find anything he didn't like.

"Would you like to eat steamed stuffed buns?" Looking at the watch, it was already past ten o'clock. At this time, it is a bit slow to do other things. The four of us always have to cook five or six dishes. It will be eleven o'clock when they go back after buying the vegetables. , it is a bit difficult to cook the rice before twelve o'clock.

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want." Yang Le turned the steering wheel in his hand and ran directly to the largest vegetable market nearby.

For fresh pork, the front legs of pigs that are three points fat and seven points thin are picked, boned and skinned, and cleaned up on the spot.

Fresh and juicy shallots, fresh and tender purple-rooted leeks and other fresh ingredients were moved into the trunk one by one.

One of the three people was in charge of selecting, one was in charge of paying, and the other was in charge of moving it into the car. The three of them cooperated and completed the purchase very quickly. It was not even eleven o'clock when they returned to Wen's house.

Chen Yan had no time to waste time, so he put on his apron and sleeves, cleaned the skin of the meat and started to stew it.The skin jelly made from the meat skin is an important part of making steamed stuffed buns, so the quality of the jelly is also very important.

Wen Jingyi called over two kitchen helpers and asked them to help with all their strength.He and Yang Le themselves really can't help, staying here is also causing trouble.

After the meat skin was frozen, Chen Yan simply washed the front leg meat and began to chop the meat.

Although it is simpler and easier to buy meat and mince it directly, the taste is not as good as minced meat by hand. Chen Yan prefers this kind of meat with texture.

Chen Yan was busy in the kitchen alone, and Wen Jingjun came back belatedly.Seeing Wen Jingyi and Yang Le busy discussing at the dining table, they also sat aside, "How is your company preparing?"

"Everything is ready, just wait for the finished product to come out." Wen Jingyu replied, in front of his brother, he has always been very obedient and rarely dared to smile.

"That's good. Although the two of you worked in a trading company before, doing business on your own is different from working for others. You have to work harder and be more cautious." Wen Jingjun gave the two of them a vaccination lightly, "But it doesn't matter even if you fall down, you are still young, success is a good thing, and falling is even better, I..."

In the middle of speaking, Wen Jingjun suddenly couldn't continue.Because there was a scent wafting in from the dining room, just lingering around his nose, he couldn't even speak.

"Is Yan Yan cooking?"

"Well, we'll be back before eleven o'clock, and now..." Wen Jingyu looked at his watch, "It's almost twelve o'clock."

Chen Yan's pot of skin jelly had already been boiled, and he replaced it with a pot that dissipates heat quickly, then cooled it down quickly, and chopped it up and mixed it into the meat stuffing.

The translucent skin jelly and meat filling were mixed with a little bit of tender green. After being wrapped by the white, thin and tough dough, they quickly became small buns with beautiful pleats in Chen Yan's hands.

The small buns are only the size of a thumb and index finger circle. They are small and cute. You can put [-] or [-] buns in the baking pan at a time. After frying them for a while, put a spoonful of broth into the buns, covering one-third of the buns, and cover them.

What Wen Jingjun and the others could smell outside was the aroma of the broth after it had gradually dried up under the heat of the fire, mixed with the aroma of the pan-fried buns being cooked through.This smell seems to have some magical power, just smelling it makes the three hungry people outside fidget instantly.

Wen Jingyi looked at the two on the left and right, and it was most appropriate for him to urge him, and walked into the kitchen with a shy face. "Yanyan, are the buns almost ready?"

"Well, it's almost ready." Chen Yan nodded without looking back, still wrapping the buns in his hands.

"Yo, this bun is really small." Wen Jingyi couldn't help admiring the small buns that Chen Yan quickly made out between his nimble fingers.

"You prepare some seasoning." Chen Yan saw Wen Jingqi walking around him, so he knew that they couldn't wait.He, a fat man, is not in a hurry, why are they so anxious?

"Okay!" Wen Jingyi agreed very happily.

After a while, Chen Yan stopped what he was doing, looked at Wen Jingyi in surprise, and asked him why he didn't act yet.

"That... what are you preparing for?"

"It's a common seasoning. If you like spicy food, you can order chili oil or spicy peppers, and vinegar. It would be best if there is balsamic vinegar. If you like spicy food, you can use table soy sauce. Prepare some mashed garlic, your cook should have prepared these things."

"Understood." Wen Jingyi usually eats, and he would know what to eat if he was asked to eat, but he was at a loss as to what to prepare when asked him to prepare.Hearing what Chen Yan said, he immediately called a kitchen helper to prepare it for him, and found a tray to take the things out.

Hearing Wen Jingqi coming out, both Yang Le and Wen Jingjun couldn't help but look back, only to see Wen Jingqi holding a tray with a pile of bottles, large and small, on it.

Yang Le took a look and was happy, "The condiments prepared by your family for eating steamed buns are really complete."

"This was prepared by Yanyan." Wen Jingyi arranged the things one by one, "It will be out of the pot soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan came out with a plate, "Three flavors, pure pork with chives, sauced pork and leeks."

On the three plates, there were about a dozen pan-fried buns the size of a baby's fist.

The bottom is fried brown, with a layer of crispy shell, and the top is white and tender, sprinkled with a little sesame and chives.Each one is bulging and plump, very round and lovely.

The three plates were placed on the table, and the chopsticks of the three people stretched out at the same time, each holding a small white bun between the chopsticks.

The pan-fried buns don't look very hot, but in fact, because the skin is tight, the temperature inside is still very high.

Even though it is already May and the temperature in the capital is not low, the moment he bit his mouth open, a gust of heat still came out of it.

"Be careful, it's hot, there's soup in it." Chen Yan reminded him and went back to make his second pot.There are thirty baking pans in this set, probably not enough for three big men.

As soon as Chen Yan returned to the kitchen, the delicious value of the feedback from the restaurant came crackling.Chen Yan smiled slightly, and worked hard for more than an hour, just for the fruit of victory.

Even with Chen Yan's advice, the first of the three of them ate the raw fried buns, and they were in a mess.Obviously, they are very comfortable eating the soup dumplings, so why are they so embarrassed to eat the fried steamed buns?Although there is not much soup in it, it is very delicious, as if the essence of the meat is in the soup.

It’s no wonder that the skin jelly is the essence that has been boiled for a long time. When it is blended into the meat, it is still frozen. After frying and roasting at the bottom, steaming around, this mixed heating method quickly melts the skin jelly and rushes into the meat. In the filling, and as the temperature increased further, the soup was forced out from the meat filling again.

This in and out brings out all the umami.

The three of them just didn't expect that there would be soup when eating raw fried buns, so they made a plate unexpectedly.

But no one was willing to let go of this little soup, and picked up the plate and drank it while it was still hot.Wen Jingjun even licked the plate forgetfully, and Wen Jingjun didn't even bother to look at him with such futile energy.

Before Chen Yan's second pot of fried buns was cooked, the three plates in front of the three people were all eaten up.

The three of them sat in chairs and pondered slowly.

The delicious and salty flavor of the pork and shallots, the rich flavor of the sauced meat buns, the extra fresh taste of the pork and leeks, the perfect ratio of leeks and pork, the leeks are still fresh and green after biting into the buns, and the leeks are not overcooked at all. Symptoms of dull color.

"The buns are delicious, and I like leeks the most." Wen Jingyu wiped his mouth, "When I was young, my mother made dumplings stuffed with leeks for me, and they were very delicious. The one Yanyan made reminds me of my childhood."

At that time, the Wen family hadn't been handed over to Wen Jingjun, so naturally it hadn't reached its current glory. When the two brothers were young, they were busy with company affairs all day long, and they could only take care of the children once in a while.In fact, that dumpling may not be really delicious, but it is enough for a child to remember.But now, Chen Yan's pan-fried buns awakened that memory again.

"I think the sauced meat is delicious. The pork chives and pork leeks are actually quite delicious. I knew I should buy some fresh shrimp, and the three fresh stuffing should be delicious too." Yang Le said.

"You said that I want to eat three fresh stuffed stuffing now." Wen Jingyu said depressed.

Wen Jingjun remained silent.

He remembered when he and that person met for the first time, didn't he just eat a plate of buns?
