smoke from cooking

Mama, what are you eating? "

"Curry." Nan Shu's train of thought was interrupted, and she replied impatiently, but when she turned around, she saw the coconut in Doumama's arms.

coconut milk!

A flash of inspiration.Nan Shu nodded fiercely, yes, it is coconut milk.

But what comes out of the coconut is just coconut milk, not coconut milk.

Regardless, let's add it in and have a look.

Seeing Nan Shu staring at the things in her bosom, Dou Mama's face was gloomy and uncertain, she was happy and sad, she subconsciously pushed the things in her bosom forward, "I, I asked someone to lift the lid."

"Okay, well done." Nan Shu took it with one hand, poured a little coconut milk into the bowl, picked it up and tasted it, it tasted sweet, just like the old one.

Pour the coconut milk from the bowl into the pot and stir slowly, taking a small spoonful to taste from time to time.Not enough, or not enough, pour in the coconut milk little by little, and watch the gravy boiled in the pot slowly turn deep yellow, and the taste changes from the original spicy to spicy and sweet.

Nan Shu found that the gravy in the pot had boiled, sighed, poured the leftover rice into it, quickly stir-fried it twice, waited for the white rice to be fried until golden, put it on a plate, and turned off the fire.

"Come and taste it." Nan Shu stuffed the chopsticks into Dou Mama's hands, who was completely stunned. "It's the first time I'm making it, it might be a little spicy, so let's just eat it."

"Master, Mama, even veteran crew members dare not eat anything from the sea."

"It's okay, I just ate a little bit, it looks like it's not good now." Nan Shu ate a piece of fried rice with chopsticks.hot!The nose is so spicy that tears come to my eyes, but after the spicy taste, there is a hint of sweetness.

"It's good to neutralize it. It's a pity that the time is too short this time. I will make a pot of curry tomorrow. I don't believe that I can't adjust... the taste."

Dou Mama tremblingly tasted a small chopstick, which was so hot that he spit it out quickly, and then rinsed his mouth with water, "Ahem, master Mama, what, what, what..."

"Is it unpalatable? There is no way, I should add something in. I have to try a few more times."

For several days in succession, Nan Shu stayed in the kitchen and flipped the curry powder every day. Fortunately, the package of powder was enough, and there were five or six coconuts.

Fragrant and slightly spicy, when you eat it in your mouth, the faint fragrance of coconut milk is mixed with the spicy aroma of spices, and the tip of the tongue feels smooth.Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, this is the smell.

"Tomorrow, I will buy a chicken and I will make chicken curry."

The recipe of curry chicken used to be divided into several flavors, but the recipes are similar to each other. Nan Shu herself prefers the smooth taste.

Ask Dou Mama to chop the whole chicken into pieces and clean it.Heat up the cauldron, sprinkle oil and chicken, stir-fry the chicken repeatedly until the blood no longer oozes from the chicken bones, first spoon the chicken into the plate, and then separate the oil and blood.Chicken curry is usually cooked with potatoes, but Nan Shu can't find potatoes, only a kind of field peas, the taste is rougher than potatoes, but there is no other substitute, so I can only use it first.

Cut the field beans into pieces, pour them into a pan and fry until the skin turns golden brown, and put them in a dish.

The last step is to make curry sauce, the most important thing.In order to show the mystery, Nan Shu deliberately drove Dou Mama out of the kitchen and closed the small kitchen window.

In the past, curry sauce was made from coconut milk, which was sweeter and thicker than coconut milk.Nan Shu thought of a simple method, filled a small pot with coconut milk, boiled it slowly over a low heat, and boiled out the water, leaving a thick paste.Although it is not as good as the coconut milk in the past, it can also adjust the taste by using it.

Stir the curry sauce slowly, pour it on the chicken wada beans, and then simmer slowly until the juice penetrates into the chicken wada beans.

Untie the pot and smell the thick curry smell floating in the air, Nan Shu nodded with satisfaction, this is the smell.

In the main hall, Zhang Ri Zhangyue sat around You Ning at the round table, watching Ama bring up a pile of yellow and orange things, it smells so good, there seems to be chicken and field beans in it, but why is it yellow, so strange color.

Zhang Ri Zhang Yue unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit.Zhang Ri is too old to ask, but Zhang Yue has no scruples.

"Ama, is this chicken?"

"This is chicken curry!" Nan Shu raised her voice with excitement.Such a simple condition can make such a delicious curry chicken, why Nan Shu is not excited.

Zhang Yue stretched out her small arms, wanting to eat with a spoon, but Dou Mama held her down with one hand.Nan Shu glanced at Dou Mama, "I've been eating for three days, if something happens, it should have happened long ago."

"Let me taste it." You Ning stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken, put it under his nose and smelled it, took a small bite, frowned, but slowly relaxed, "The taste is very special, It's not like the usual taste."

"That's for sure, and I don't even look at where the ingredients come from." Nan Shu looked at You Ning who swallowed the whole piece of chicken even though he took a small bite, and the smile on his face increased a little, "Don't underestimate it." I got my formula, but the ingredients sent by shopkeeper Hu still can’t make it work, hee hee, I still need my own method to prepare it.”

You Ning's eyes flashed, "Xiao Shu's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Nan Shu was overjoyed by the praise, and Dou Mama still looked at the dish of curry chicken suspiciously, and took a piece of chicken for Zhang Ri and Zhang Yue respectively, "It's a bit spicy, if you really can't stand it, drink saliva to dilute the taste. "

The aroma of curry wafted in the main hall, and the two children began to learn from You Ning to take small bites, but they couldn't stand the fresh taste, and gradually let go, eating one piece after another, and even mixed rice with curry sauce, and ate it in big mouthfuls .Dou Mama looked at it again and again, and finally couldn't help but tasted it, and found that it didn't have the pungent spicy taste for the first time, and she thought it was okay, so she ate two more mouthfuls in succession.

Nan Shu looked at the whole family with their heads down, eating desperately, and smiled even more happily, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, if you like it, I will continue to do it tomorrow."

After dinner, You Ning sent Zhang Ri Zhangyue and his two children around the yard on the pretext of taking a walk to digest food.Nan Shu wanted to follow, but You Ning stopped her with her eyes.

"Xiaori and Xiaoyue are disobedient?" Thinking that she threw herself into making curry sauce for three consecutive days, ignoring the two children. Seeing that You Ning deliberately left herself to talk, she thought that there was something wrong with the two children.

"Xiaoshu, you are too bold." The words turned and turned in his mouth, but he still couldn't help but say it.

"Bold?" Nan Shu waved her hand indifferently, "I'm not doing well, what's the matter?"

"Next time, let others taste it first, and then eat it." Originally, I wanted to say that there would be no next time, but after thinking about it, I felt that Nan Shu would not listen to him, so I simply changed to another way of saying it.

"It doesn't matter whoever tastes it first." Nan Shu didn't notice You Ning's weirdness, but thought of another thing, "Didn't shopkeeper Hu say that what you sent was seeds? Why are they spices for cooking?"

"It is estimated that he also instructed his subordinates to do it. The subordinates could not tell the difference, and they used the spices as seeds and handed over the errand."

"But there are benefits to being wrong. Fortunately, I tasted it and found that it can be used to make dishes. You Ning, how much do you think I can earn if I sell the production method to shopkeeper Hu?"

You Ning was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Nan Shu to be so interested after the last business was completed, and wanted to cooperate with Lao Hu for the second time.You Ning hesitated for a moment, no one had tried Nan Shu's cooking method before, and he was in the restaurant business, so he didn't know about it, let alone other people.Sell ​​the method to Lao Hu, a businessman who resells, I am afraid that he will have to find someone to sell it in the end, why not...

In the blink of an eye, You Ning's thoughts turned and turned.The shrewdness of the businessman made You Ning immediately sense an unusual opportunity.

"Old Hu is in the business of changing hands, why don't I find another friend who specializes in restaurant business. Didn't you say last time that if you build a restaurant in Qiongzhou to sell dishes from the other side of the sea, I want to send you Talk to my friend about my idea, maybe he will be interested."

"I originally thought that I would leave it for you as the capital to turn around."

"It doesn't matter. Well, the recipes made with ingredients are the chef's secret treasure, and they are generally not circulated. With such things, it is much easier to discuss business."

Seeing that You Ning spoke with confidence, Nan Shu nodded, "Then I'll ask you." Thinking that if You Ning got the chance, he might go to Qiongzhou to set up a restaurant, and his small yard might not be able to keep him. An inexplicable melancholy rose in Nan Shu's heart.

future

But when others have a future, I have no reason to stop them. Besides, You Ning lives in Zhang's house. Apart from no rent and no money for food, there is really no benefit at all.Maybe You Ning himself is tired of being a gentleman and wants to go out for a walk.

Nan Shu couldn't help taking a sneak peek at You Ning, only to see him hanging his head, as if in deep thought.He was even more sure that You Ning was going to leave.

let's go.It's good to go, you can't see it, so you don't see the sky around you now, the two children are like Uncle You every day, and Uncle You is like that, they almost forget that they are their ama's business.

Nan Shu couldn't tell whether it was sour or sweet, happy or sad. In short, the two of them sat bored like this until Zhang Ri Zhangyue ran in hand in hand, only then did they break the silence of the room.

In the next few days, besides teaching Zhang Ri Zhang Yue, You Ning often went out alone.Sometimes no one came back after dinner time.At the beginning Zhang Ri Zhang Yue asked where Uncle You had gone, but Nan Shu didn't know how to answer, so she squeaked twice, and the two children wisely stopped asking.

Nan Shu originally wanted to make curry for a few more days, so that she could make all the curry dishes she knew before, but seeing that You Ning often didn't come back for dinner, for some reason, her mind became much lighter, and she didn't even have the thought to go into the kitchen .Supervise every day
