Chapter 27 Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork
"Brother is learning to make mutton soup?" Chen Hexi held the microphone and his face was surprisingly gentle and happy. Occasionally, neighbors in the apartment would greet the girl standing on the porch and making a call.
Chen Hexi's heart has already flown back to China.
"Big White Lamb Soup, a secret recipe passed down from ancestors, 501 pieces, not to be opened." If you go to the provincial capital six years later, many people will probably hear this? The recipe for Big White Lamb Soup from the Xu family was sold by the Xu family themselves, but no matter how the "Xu family" and all the people who got the recipe, they could not make the "oil in water in the bowl, water in a drop of oil in the oil". It is thick but not greasy, which is simply a joke.
Now it seems that Mr. Xu is not a good man. He probably did something wrong when he was afraid that the prescription would be leaked.
But... the signboard of the Xu family's old store for decades ended up like that. Several famous chefs in the provincial capital who have experienced this incident couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
What is the use of family tradition? If you don’t pass on skills, there will always be a day when the sky falls and the earth falls.
Chen Hexi reminded the guy who couldn't speak on the other side of the phone: "Brother, I think the son and daughter-in-law of the Xu family are not like good people. You have to be careful. If you really can't find something to carry with you as a self-defense."
The sound of my brother laughing came from the other end of the phone.
The seventeen-year-old girl started acting coquettishly with her brother: "I'm telling it seriously~"
She lowered her eyes and felt a little worried. For the Xu couple, grandfather and brother were snatching gold mines from them. If they didn't hate them, there was a ghost.
"You'll be careful, right?"
The sound of obedient breathing.
"You have to protect yourself first and then think about something else! Isn't it?"
The sound of obedient breathing.
"You must protect both kittens, dogs, and grandpa, right?"
The sound of obedient breathing.
Chen Hexi bullied Chen Hechao and could not speak, and forced his brother to make a guarantee with a series of questions about right and wrong.
"You bullied your brother again." Chen Baoshi took the phone and said as usual at the beginning.
"Hmph" Okay, I'm so willful, domineering and unreasonable! What do you want? Facing my brother, Chen Hexi, who is old and tender, immediately changed from a senior and spoiled tomboy to a willful sister. Facing my grandfather, she instantly became a stubborn and taciturn middle school granddaughter.
Chen Hechao, who was standing aside with his ears pricked up and listened to the sound, smiled again.
The two grandparents and grandchildren who lived in the hotel made a phone call and were satisfied to go back to bed. Chen Hechao remembered his sister's instructions and bent down and put his hand on the ground.
Xiao Niwai, who had been raising his trouser legs underneath, immediately put his front paws on his hand, shook his tail, and rubbed it against his sturdy arm.
The young man lowered his head and gently grabbed the dog into his arms.
Are kittens, dogs and grandpas? It seems that puppies are also very important.
The twenty-four brother Xiao decided to love the house and the wool and the puppy were better.
Chen Baoshi, who wanted to say something to his grandson, turned his head and looked at his grandson and puppy who were both tired, hummed twice, and left with his sleeves.
"I love the new and get tired of the old!" This is cursing Chen He Chao.
"Forget your righteousness when you see profit!" This is scolding Xiao Ni.
Chen Hexi on the other side thanked Mrs. Taylor and walked upstairs. She had to deal with a foodie in a while.
Today is Friday. Starting from Monday, Ms. He warmly invited Chen Hexi to vacation in the villa in the lake district.
Of course, the time can be adjusted when working in a restaurant, especially after she handled three big men alone four days ago.
At that time, Black Bean became a "cici brainless fan" in one second, and his eyes were full of yearning for Chinese martial arts.
Yu Zhengwei woke him up with one sentence: "I don't know how high she is in martial arts, but if you keep looking at her with such disgusting eyes, she can also smash you into the floor."
The black beans became wilted, and they became "little black beans that grow mushrooms" for a whole day before they recovered.
The reason Chen Hexi politely declined to go on vacation was because there were gatherings of Chinese students from several universities around him this weekend.
The so-called gatherings are always a group of people eating and drinking, and communicating spiritually.
For the money-short international students, the diet at the party can only be prepared by one dish or snack for each person, and everyone has a meal together.
Tian Wanzi arrived at Chen Hexi's apartment at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She came to convey the message to "by the way" to try the food Chen Hexi would bring the next day.
The apartment in the afternoon was very quiet and comfortable, with light green twill tablecloths and a complete set of furniture in the wood color. Although it is rare to feel the warmth of the sun in such early winter, this did not delay Tian Wanzi feeling the warm atmosphere in the sweet fragrance of fruit tea.
The fruit tea comes from Mrs. Taylor's passionate sharing last week. It does not use the traditional Western dry flesh and black tea mixture, but uses honey to make fresh fruits cooked with syrup and honey until they are thick, put them in a round glass jar, and then mix them with water when drinking. Mrs. Taylor smiled and said that this was obtained by her friend in London from a chef in a Chinese restaurant.
In the bleak autumn, a cup of steaming sweet tea can replenish people's vitality from the inside out.
Tian Wanzi sighed and lay on the sofa with sad face: "Why are you living such a good life in a country of corruption? It's definitely because your eating and drinking is too high, too high."
Chen Hexi didn't say anything, so he lowered his head and took out the things she had prepared in advance from the shopping bag.
Tian Wanzi sighed again: "No, think about it carefully. You don't have many opportunities to eat Chinese food every day. Now you are working, how can you still clean your room so neatly? This is unscientific!"
Tian Wanzi, who turned the room into a doghouse in minutes, felt his little chest sour.
Chen Hexi was too lazy to pay attention to her: "Give me the can I send you."
The main ingredient is a piece of pork tenderloin with a transparent and firm texture.
What Chen Hexi wants to make is a very popular dish in southern China, pineapple gourmet pork.
First change the tenderloin into thick slices, then use a knife to cut even patterns on both sides of the thick slices. The pieces look like the meat cut out of scales, mixed with soy sauce, white pepper, rice wine and salt together and marinated.
Open the canned pineapple on the other side and heat it in a pot to make the soup thicker.
The meat was marinated, Chen Hexi took the whole piece of meat with gloves, and used a narrow and long meat-cutting knife to cut the meat into pieces of the same size from top to bottom. His hands with gloves were still light and flexible. When his palms turned slightly, it seemed that every small piece of meat looked the same.
Stir a whole egg into a bowl filled with meat pieces and beat it with chopsticks until the egg liquid is bubbled, so that the egg liquid is wrapped in every piece of meat piece.
The meat wrapped in egg liquid was then thrown into the plate of flour. Chen Hexi reluctantly took off his gloves, rubbed and beat them with his hands, and made sure that each piece of meat was evenly covered with a thin layer of flour.
The oil was raised in the pot. When there was hot air on the oil but no smoke, Chen Hexi put the meat piece against the edge of the pot into the oil pan. When the layer of flour wrapped gradually turned slightly yellow, she picked it up with chopsticks.
When the oil temperature is 90% hot, put the tenderloin pieces into the pot and fry it again. The golden color not only represents the right cooking time, but also makes Tian Wanzi swallowed several times.
Stir-fry the garlic and the green and red peppers cut into slices. After the aroma is found, the tomato sauce and light soy sauce are added. Because there is no white vinegar, Chen Hexi experimentally ordered a little fruit vinegar. The dark red soup mixed with the tomato sauce and soy sauce is more fragrant because of the oil. The girl's hands with gloves seem to be blessed by God. Every time she adds seasoning, she is accurate and steady.
I just poured half a cup of the canned pineapple juice into the pot. The dark tomato sauce was diluted into a light-colored soup that attracted more appetites. You can also see the minced garlic rolling in it. The sweet and tempting soup was cooked, and finally put the meat cubes and pineapple and stir-fry evenly.
Red soup, white minced garlic, golden pieces of meat, tender yellow pineapple, and green and red peppers are used to embellish it.
In addition to the main dishes, there is also a small plate of roasted mushrooms, and the main food is a salty sandwich.
The mixing of eggs and flour is to ensure that the cooking technique can make the meat delicious.
The slightly garlic-flavored sauce is so sweet and sour.
Not to mention that there are pineapples that make the whole dish rich in fruity aroma and rich in flavor.
Tian Wanzi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of Gulu meat and put it in his mouth, and immediately his tongue was burned.
"Hiss...huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Chen Hexi took off his gloves, washed his hands, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and applied a layer of hand cream. Then he sat at the table slowly and clamped up a piece of gurgle meat.
“The color is a little heavier…”
"The fragrance of canned pineapple is far less than fresh pineapple."
"The sourness is a bit bad, and fruit vinegar is still not as useful as white vinegar..."
The meaning of the words is that there are many dissatisfactions.
Tian Wanzi took a sip of water and held her round face and sighed: "It's delicious! It's just too hot."
"It's a pity that there is no water starch thickening..." Chen Hexi was still picking problems.
"You are a chef because of such high requirements for yourself?" Tian Wanzi turned his head and asked half complaining and half teasingly.
Chen Hexi's face froze for a moment.
"Of course... not."
After the meal, Tian Wanzi held her stomach and hummed and suggested to Chen Hexi: "Don't take this dish to the party."
"..." Chen Hexi was speechless.
"Unless you want them to cry because they miss home or fight for a piece of meat. Moreover, many people from other schools have more complicated origins, so it is better for you to be less successful."
It seems that Tian Wanzi should change his name to the Emperor of Truth today?
Chen Hexi nodded to express his understanding.
"It is said that the country will have projects to encourage international students to return in 2018. Now these people have their own little plans in their hearts. It is safest to not get involved in anything." Moreover, some people like to attack the "tender grass" that is not well-educated.
"Oh~ It's not easy to get along anywhere." Tian Wanzi looked at Chen Hexi's beautiful and expressionless little face, and he always talked to him. "The shop I worked in changed to a boss from a film country. It is said that people from a film country are rigorous in their work, and I think it's okay, but... I think he seems to be bullying me as a Chinese."
Tian Wanzi couldn't tell her feelings either. After Christmas, she would go to an internship at a securities center in the capital of Fuguo. If she quit her job, she would have no additional income in the next month.
Chen Hexi thought about it and probably understood Tian Wanzi's entanglement: "You are not only Chinese in your store, but also other foreign students. You can expand his target on you and expand it to others."
Tian Wanzi looked at Chen Hexi stupidly: "Ha?"
A little girl with superb cooking skills, why can't I understand what you are saying?
I was teaching the other party not to get involved just now, and when I turned around, the other party started teaching myself directly? It sounds very powerful?!
The former wave, Tian Wanzi, felt that she was crushed by the later wave again.
The author has something to say: Everyone ~ I am the paper deposit box that works overtime on weekends!
