After I quit the circle, I relied on the God of Cooking system to become popular

Their holiday starts on New Year's Eve.

The three people staying in Chengluju for the Chinese New Year are all cooks, so they are naturally a table of delicacies.

Because the end of the new year is approaching, at least from the first few days of the first day of the new year, it is rare to buy all kinds of fresh ingredients on the street. Fortunately, the ingredients in winter are also a little longer, and you can eat it by yourself, so this is Chengluju’s annual It's a rare time to see the next day's ingredients.

Even if there are only three people eating, after all, it is a New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone has put a lot of thought into it.

Considering that it is easy to waste if you can’t finish it, and eating it the next day will affect the flavor, so the three of them made an appointment to make two special dishes for each of them, preferably one meat and one vegetable, and the amount should not be too large, anyway enough The three of them can eat.

Because you can still buy a lot of things on the morning of New Year's Eve, so today's ingredients are still very fresh.

Qing Ya, the whole chicken master, bought five of them, two of which are used for soup today, and the rest can be taken in the refrigerator if anyone wants to use them.

In fact, if it wasn't for broth, let alone five chickens, even three they might not be able to consume in ten days.

Besides that there are fresh vegetables and pork beef.

Everyone pays attention to a lively New Year’s Eve dinner, among other things, the dishes on the table are definitely richer than usual. I don’t know how much, and even most people’s New Year’s Eve dinners don’t see vegetarian dishes. Fish and meat.

From the perspective of people who have come from the era of not being able to eat enough, this is a manifestation of a rich and beautiful life. Of course, it is best to be a family together.

"In recent years, people have been asking me to help with the New Year's Eve dinner, and they have offered [-] to [-] a day, but I have not agreed. Do you know why?" Shi Qingya said casually while cooking the chicken in his hand.

"Why?" Shi Chengyan answered the question with dignity.

In fact, he is quite clear that although Shi Chengyan is the only family member who can really be by his side every year during Chinese New Year, he still attaches great importance to this reunion day.

When Shi Chengyan first entered the entertainment circle, he thought about it, if he became popular, how could he refuse to invite him to perform in the Spring Festival Gala?

Later... ahem, dreaming, everyone should have similar experiences.

The only advantage of being an [-]th line is that the time is really free, especially in the situation where the agent doesn't care much about him anymore.

"It's great to be reunited, don't wait until you have no time to regret..." Maybe it's because of the special atmosphere of the new year, or because of the long holiday, so Shi Qingya looks a little melancholy, like Some of the troubles accumulated in the heart are the same.

Shi Chengyan didn't answer the words, and worked silently.

----

It was rare that so many stoves were turned on in the kitchen, but there was no tense atmosphere. Everyone's movements were relatively casual, and they didn't race against time like usual.

Shi Chengyan is dealing with the raw materials for making lion heads, but this time he is not planning to make braised lion heads, but intends to challenge himself a little and make stewed lion heads, which can be used as soup for today's New Year's Eve dinner.

There are probably three common ways to make lion's head. In addition to the braised lion's head that Shi Chengyan often makes, there are also stewed and steamed.

You can tell the difference between the three by listening to the names, and the difference in taste is not small. For Shi Chengyan, this is also a very difficult challenge.

There is not much difference in the method of lion head, but it does not need to be deep-fried if it is stewed.

After frying the cabbage hearts as a side dish with oil, you can spread them on the bottom of the casserole, and then put the lion's head in it. If you want to make stewed crab meat and lion's head, you can also put some crab roe, but Shi Chengyan didn't When I bought fresh yellow crabs, I had to make a second choice and stew them directly.

Fortunately, the old man boiled clear soup, and there are still plenty of boiled cabbage left over for him to make. Shi Chengyan can directly use the leftover clear soup to stew, and the taste will be even more delicious.

Apart from the boiled cabbage that Shi Chengyan hadn't seen him cook for a long time, the old man cooked two dishes, and there was also a piece of boiled pork.

Needless to say, boiled pork slices, there should be no one who has never eaten it, but the taste may not be authentic.

Shi Chengyan, who especially likes spicy food, would want to drool when hearing the name of boiled pork slices.

And Yang Zhiyu made two dishes, one was braised pork trotters, the other was chestnut roast pork, and the other was big meat and flower meat.

In view of the fact that the vegetarian dishes of the other two master chefs are not so vegetarian, Shi Chengyan directly made a stir-fried cabbage.

Even if it is a New Year's Eve dinner, there must always be something vegetarian on the table, otherwise it will be too boring to eat.

Because Chengluju's kitchen is big enough, the three of them can work together without disturbing each other.

Shi Chengyan's stewed lion's head and stir-fried vegetables don't need to be prepared in advance, but Shi Qingya and Yang Zhiyu's dishes are different, so Shi Chengyan also helps in the kitchen.

The chestnuts that Yang Zhiyu used to roast the meat were not big. Shi Chengyan ate two raw when he was free, and the taste was still very good, sweet and crunchy.

This is a relatively small chestnut, whether it is eaten raw, fried or cooked, it tastes very good, so they bought five catties when they were stocking up for the New Year two days ago.

However, because it is fresh and shelled, it has to be processed in advance if you want to eat it.

First remove the hard skin on the outside, and then scald the furry inner layer with boiling water to make it fall off better.

Here, the two of them have just removed the skin of half a catty of chestnuts that are going to be fried, and are about to put them in hot water to scald them. Over there, Shi Qingya asked Shi Chengyan to go over and watch him make clear soup.

"Diaotang is not that easy, and generally you can't learn it by reading it once or twice, but I know your memory and comprehension ability, so I asked you to come and have a look, although at your current level It will take some time to master the whole process, but you can still learn something, at least when it comes time to make stock and milk soup.”

Shi Qingya's hands were very steady, and the four pieces of chicken that had been chopped in half were all put into a super-large stew pot, and then water was added for the first stew.

This process lasts for more than an hour, until all the chicken broth and umami are stewed into the soup. If it is directly out of the pot at this time, it should be a very greasy stewed chicken soup. It has no taste at all and is absolutely unpalatable.

"When I showed you the clear soup last time, because I didn't have enough time, I only hung it once. I have a lot of free time today, so I can let you watch the whole thing." Shi Qingya put the lid on the pot and said with a smile.

Then the three of them gathered around a pot of boiling hot water, and each of them was processing chestnuts with a kitchen knife.

Even after being scalded by hot water, some hairy inner skins are still difficult to peel. Generally, this kind of chestnuts are actually older.

If this kind of older chestnut is eaten directly, the taste is definitely not as good as the fresh and tender ones, but it is just right for cooking.

After the chestnuts are processed, the water is dried and kept fresh.

Today's New Year's Eve dinner starts at [-] o'clock in the evening, and it is too late to start preparations after [-] o'clock in the afternoon. After all, the three of them have one pot for each person.

But for the pig’s trotters, it is necessary to start stewing earlier. They generally don’t use pressure cookers to stew them, so if you want to stew the pig’s trotters, you need time to do water grinding.

After Yang Zhiyu finished his work, he took out his mobile phone and made videos with his grandson at home.

After all, it was the first time in the past few years that he was not with his family for the new year, but he didn't regret it. After all, Shi Qingya was so old, if he couldn't spend the new year with his master, he didn't know if there would be any more in the future. Chance.

At that time, when Xue Zhen said on the phone that Shi Qingya was in the hospital, he wanted to come here, but there were so many things on his side that it was really difficult to move forward.

They are all very old, and many times it is really impossible to do what they want to do like young people.

Over there Yang Zhiyu was chatting with his relatives, and here Shi Chengyan and Shi Qingya also moved a stool to sit and chat beside the stewing casserole.

The scene was very interesting to watch. Although Cheng Luju was not as lively as usual, it didn't look deserted at all.

At this time in previous years, they were actually with Zhi Zhaofei's family. From this year onwards, there should be no such opportunity, and even if they did, no one would be willing.

Xue Zhen didn't mention it at all.

But it's not that he doesn't want to celebrate the New Year with Master. The reason is very simple. Even if their Xue family's family relationship is a little simpler than other wealthy families, it is not so simple. He himself doesn't want to stay on this kind of occasion. Naturally, he would not force Master to go there to suffer.

"When will the old novel come over?"

"He said he would come over on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year."

"Doesn't he leave relatives?" Shi Qingya has no other relatives alive, so there is no need to leave relatives, but Zhi Zhaofei had this habit when he was still there, so he also wrote it down.

Shi Chengyan smiled and said: "He said that this is a social occasion in their family, and it is very annoying. If he wants to run out, his family will not stop him."

The reason is simple, instead of letting him panic there, he might find trouble.It's better to just let him go outside to play. Many juniors in these families who are not involved in the family business deal with it like this.

It's better to be with Master than to hang out with friends.

After chatting for a while, Shi Chengyan checked the time, it was almost 10:30, and he started to prepare today's lunch.

Lunch is relatively simple, it is hot pot.

Because the three of them are very good at eating spicy food, Yuanyang hot pot does not exist among them. Even if Shi Chengyan's stomach is not very good, this time Shi Qingya still indulges him to eat spicy food wantonly this time.

Of course, this connivance is limited, at least Shi Chengyan's request to add spicy food was resolutely rejected.

The hot pot bottom material was fried last night, then divided into pieces, sealed with a plastic machine and stored in the refrigerator. It can be stored for a long time, at least half a month.

I cooked a big pot yesterday. Fortunately, I started preparing it after opening last night. Otherwise, these hot pot ingredients would not be preserved at all.

Because it will be bought by yesterday's diners!

Even so, the whereabouts of the hot pot ingredients in this big pot is relatively complicated, and Xue Zhen took half of it directly.

His family has a lot of people, and the consumption is also high, and then Shi Chengyan sent some to Xu Zhiheng, because the express delivery was basically stopped a year ago, this express delivery cost him a lot of money.

But even so, the rest is enough for the three of them to eat hot pot every day.

Because the bottom material is fried, Shi Chengyan only needs to prepare the material.

In addition to a few common vegetables, there are a lot of fat beef rolls and fat lamb rolls. This Chengluju really has no room for manipulation, so it is still a finished product, but the old man still used his keen eye for identifying ingredients. Among the messy rolls, the best meat quality was selected.

This kind of roll can be taken out of the refrigerator and put into the pot directly, and there is no need for Shi Chengyan to bother.

What Shi Chengyan is making now is a salted egg yolk shrimp slip that he had eaten at a hot pot restaurant outside. Among other things, the soft and springy shrimp slip is bitten open, and the inside is a runny salted egg yolk. good.

It is not difficult to make, whether it is salted egg yolk or shrimp slippery Shi Chengyan is not difficult to make, and soon the balls the size of ping-pong balls are neatly placed on the plate, which looks different from ordinary shrimp slippery big.

In addition to this kind of innovation, there are naturally more conventional ones, such as thinly sliced ​​fresh beef that is simply marinated with dried and pickled peppers, some starch and seasonings, so that the meat will be more tender and delicious.

Remove the shrimp thread and shrimp head from the remaining shrimp after making shrimp slippery.

All kinds of ingredients are as few as possible.

Even so, the finished product is full of a large table.

Because the back kitchen is still cooking soup and cannot be separated from people, it is the first time that Cheng Luju's back kitchen is allowed to eat here.

Shi Chengyan moved a table in, and then set up a charcoal stove with a copper chafing dish pot on it.

It's not that Chengluju doesn't have mandarin duck pots, but now I don't know where to throw them, and no one uses them at all.

Most of those who have been able to stay in Chengluju until now have already gotten used to it or even liked the spicy taste, otherwise they would not be able to stay there at all.

Seasoning teacher Chengyan also prepared some. Although there are not as many types as the hot pot restaurants outside, they are cut and packed in different containers like the hot pot restaurants outside. You can adjust the flavor yourself.

When eating hot pot, some people like chili sauce and others like sesame sauce.

Shi Qingya's grandpa and grandson naturally love spicy food as always. Half a bowl is full of chopped millet pepper, garlic, coriander, sesame oil and some seasoning sauce. In short, everyone can add appropriate amount according to their own taste.

And Yang Zhiyu made himself a sesame sauce, added his favorite side dishes, and it tasted delicious.

The advantage of hot pot is here, it can accommodate the tastes of most people.

A large piece of red hot butter hot pot base material is put into the copper pot, and the water is filled to 5% until the soup boils slowly, then add a little water, stir the base material in the pot with a spoon, and then cook After four to five minutes, a pot of red hot pot base is ready, very convenient.

The aroma of red oil hits the nostrils. In the cold winter air, no one can resist this delicious taste.

The meat is naturally the first thing to go into the pot. What's the point of eating hot pot without meat.

Put the fat beef rolls and fat lamb rolls in the colander, and blanch them in the boiling red soup for half a minute, and you will not see the raw meat color. At this time, dip the hot pot seasoning in the bowl, and the temperature in your mouth is just right , hot but not hot, the meat is very fresh and tender, and the whole body is warm after eating.

"It's really comfortable to eat hot pot in winter, but I don't have much time to eat it when it's usually open." Shi Qingya still likes to eat hot pot, but their back chefs usually don't eat at the same meal point, and the taste of hot pot is strong, and they don't like it. It is suitable for eating on business days, so they usually only eat it when they are resting, and the frequency is not too much.

But even so, Shi Qingya, who loves hot pot, still researched such a recipe for hot pot base, which is very delicious.

In the past, when Shi Chengyan came back to work in Jiuyun after the new year, he would bring a lot of hot pot ingredients with him every time. Although it is not necessary for a person to eat hot pot, using this hot pot ingredient to cook a small pot of Mala Tang tastes just as good. Very lore!

They usually consume a lot of physical strength in the back kitchen, so the three of them have a big appetite, and their combat effectiveness is still very impressive.

Beef, mutton and vegetables are quickly eaten in large quantities, followed by meat dishes that take a little more time.

For example, Shi Chengyan specially tried to make salted egg yolk shrimp slippery and deboned chicken feet.

These ten chicken feet are all from the five chickens I bought today. Anyway, I eat it myself, so I don’t have to worry about others finding that there are no chicken feet in the dish after making it, thinking that it is a stale ingredient.

"Actually, boiled duck feet will be more fragrant. Duck feet have thick tendons, so you can cook them for a while, and it will be more delicious." Shi Qingya picked up a chicken foot, feeling a little regretful.

The chicken feet cannot be boiled for too long, and the boned chicken feet are too easy to be stewed.

I have to say that the essence of hot pot is still in the base material. As long as the base material is delicious and the ingredients are fresh enough, it will be delicious after cooking.

If there is hot pot, of course it has to be accompanied by drinks. Under normal circumstances, Shi Chengyan likes carbonated drinks.

When he was in the entertainment industry before, he had requirements on his body shape, so he didn't eat hot pot much more than Shi Qingya. Occasionally, he even ate hot pot, so carbonated drinks are nothing.

Of course, at this time, you will still feel a little annoyed when you go on the scale after a while.

Because everyone was happy on New Year's Eve, it was rare for Shi Qingya to allow them to drink some wine to accompany the hot pot.

For this, Shi Chengyan hugged his carbonated drink tightly to thank him. He is afraid when he hears the word "drinking" now, but he really hurt himself from drinking before.

Many people are addicted to drinking, Shi Chengyan has actually had such a stage, but after a lot of times, drinking can no longer bring him happiness, it can only make him miserable!

After a lunch, all three of them ate their bellies round, very happy.

"Hi'er~" Shi Chengyan hiccupped in an unimpressive way, and he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Although it is not good to overeat, they do not do this every day after all, and once in a while they are just happy.

Shi Chengyan took out a box of haw jelly from the refrigerator, shared a small piece with each of them, held it in his hand and gnawed slowly.

Although they were already full, the hawthorn could digest food after all, and the taste really whetted the appetite. Even though they were already full, they still slowly ate that small piece of hawthorn cake.

As the only strong laborer on the scene, Shi Chengyan undoubtedly once again acted as a tool to clean up the mess, and the two older ones wandered around the yard to digest food.

"In another 15 minutes, if I don't come, you can turn the heat of the stew to the minimum, and then call me." Shi Qingya did not forget to order before leaving.

Shi Chengyan glanced at the current time, then nodded in response.

The aunt who washes the dishes is naturally off today, so Cheng Yan, the master who washes the dishes, is also included.

Fortunately, there is hot water in the back kitchen, otherwise, the bowl after eating today would not be easy to wash, and the butter and red oil condensed into a white solid at night, which cannot be washed off even with detergent. The most useful thing is hot water.

When Shi Chengyan was happily washing dishes in the kitchen to digest food, there was a person who was not so happy.

That is Zhi Zhaofei who should celebrate the new year with them if he didn't reveal his true nature.

"Didn't you say that you would let me go on vacation during the Chinese New Year?" Zhi Zhaofei stood at the door of the back kitchen of Jiweixuan, reasoning with the fat boss in a low voice.

Although he knew that Jiweixuan usually had no holidays during Chinese New Year, he was used to the holidays, so he told the boss early.

At that time, the fat boss also agreed well, but he didn't expect to change his mind when it came to New Year's Eve.

"Before, it was because there were people in the store, but after resigning a few chefs, if you ask for leave again, you will be too busy during the Chinese New Year. Isn't there no way!"

The fat boss tried to persuade him, and continued: "And the level of other people can't compare with yours. After eating their dishes, the bad reviews from diners have increased!"

Now that it's all said and done, what else can Zhi Zhaofei do, but in the end he can only grit his teeth and agree.

Zhi Zhaofei is really irritable, he always feels that the whole world is targeting him, the original plan was well formulated, but when it was implemented, it was completely different, and even this year, for the first time in history, he was not able to celebrate the New Year with his family.

"It's nothing. You still have three times your salary during the Chinese New Year. Your salary is already high. If you triple it, you can almost earn back a month's salary in one week of the Chinese New Year."

The fat boss continued to comfort him, but He Zhi Zhaofei didn't appreciate it very much, and turned back to the kitchen with anger, so he didn't see the fat boss rolling his eyes at his back.

----

After Shi Chengyan washed the dishes, he concentrated on following the old man to bring out the clear soup.

The clear soup that has been hung twice is far clearer than the one before. There is no oil on it, and the soup is clear. It looks like a pot of clear water, and it doesn't look like it has any taste at all.

But if you smell it a little closer, you can find that the umami taste is very obvious.

"Later, you can stew the lion's head first, and just leave half of the clear soup for me." Shi Qingya said while preparing the ingredients for boiled pork slices.

Shi Chengyan looked at the time, it was already almost 03:30, now the stew was on, and it would be just after six o'clock.

He has made lion heads many times, and the efficiency is very high. He quickly adjusted the fillings, but this time the meatballs are bigger than before, but only made three, one for each person will be fine.

After simple frying, the side dishes are placed under the casserole, then the lion's head is put into the clear soup, and finally the lion's head is covered with cabbage leaves to start stewing.
