Chapter 19 The Little Master of China Continues
Picking up the rest of the beef, Zhou Yi placed about five or six pounds of beef on the chopping board, and threw the rest directly into the refrigerator.
These are enough for the evening banquet, and the rest should be regarded as future inventory. To deal with the beef in front of him, Zhou Yi did not use a kitchen knife. Instead, use the magic of a rolling pin.
The best beef ribs are not only tender meat, but also crispy ribs. Using a knife is not only difficult to clean up, but also easy to lose this deliciousness.
The best thing to do with this beef is pounding. Beating with a rolling pin thousands of times, the muscles, tendons and brittle bones are all broken and mixed together, and even the gravy will be absorbed.
When the beef has turned into a gravy filling, Zhou uses pepper, salt and a little chili, add chopped green onion and diced mushrooms, and stir to make the final meat filling.
Then Zhou Yi took out the eggs, took out five or six eggs, and stirred them into thick egg juice. That's all for the preparation of beef pot stickers and fried dumplings.
Like steamed dumplings, pot stickers are the most delicious when they are just out of the pot. So at this stage, we can only put it on hold temporarily and enter the preparation of the next staple food.
Seabass, free-range hens, as well as seasonal vegetables and mountain delicacies, Zhou Yi plans to make a seabass chicken soup dumplings. He directly picked up a perch, which was a big eight-pound perch. The whole one was about half the length of Zhou Yi's arm, and it was quite plump.
The belly of the fish was cut open with a single knife, and then the internal organs were cleaned out with a slash. This kind of opening and closing method is unimaginable, while cleaning the internal organs without damaging the meat in the belly of the fish in the slightest, and retaining the taste of the fish to the greatest extent.
After cleaning the internal organs, Zhou Yi threw the kitchen knife wildly, and sliced the fish in a dazzling way. Large pieces of fish fell onto the plate like snowflakes, not only in size, but also in the ratio of fish skin to fish meat. There is no change either.
By the time the whole perch had turned into a clean fish bone, a thick pile of fish meat was already piled up in front of Zhou Yi.
Fish meat is inherently loose and is not suitable for meat filling, so other things should be used to assist. Add a few eggs, diced Sichuan bamboo shoots and diced mushrooms, add a little salt and cooking wine, and finally stir them all together. As a fish filling, this is basically enough. The rest is a matter of soup.
The cleaned hens, add ginger slices, shallots, and shiitake mushrooms directly into the pot and cook. The firepower is controlled by one's own ability throughout the whole process, and egg whites are continuously added in the middle. It was not until the whole hen was boiled that it was loose and mushy that Zhou Yi put the high tube pot on the stove and kept it warm with a small fire.
At this level, the staple food is almost ready. Then prepare the main dish. And for today's main course, Zhou Yi prepares to make lobster to deal with the upcoming guests.
First, remove all the shrimp meat from the largest lobster, then mix it with ginger powder, a small amount of egg, pepper powder and salt, and shape it into shrimp balls the size of a ping pong ball. Head mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, fungus and shiitake mushrooms are put into a casserole and bring to a boil over low heat, then add the yam, white radish and prepared shrimp balls.
This kind of casserole eats the most primitive mountain and sea delicacies, so artificial adjustment is not very important. The only thing to watch out for is the impurities that keep oozing out. In order to ensure that the impurities do not interfere with the deliciousness of the lobster, Zhou Yi can only use his mind to control everything in the casserole, and take it out of the pot as soon as the impurities are filtered out. So it took a lot of time to make this main dish.
Zhou Yikong took action and sent a message to Xia Ruisi asking where they were. She quickly got a reply from Sharis. After learning that they had just left New York City, Zhou Yi looked at the time, it was just past 6:30.
Zhou Yi, who felt that there was enough time, took out a few onions and apples, sliced them, put them in a wok, mixed with a little rum, minced beef, boiled them with various seasonings and water,
After the water evaporated and dried into a thick sauce, it was placed in a small jug.
Zhou Yi then removed the heads of the remaining three blue lobsters, leaving only the tails and the whole shrimp, wrapped in starch and nut crumb shells, and fried them in a hot oil pan. The lobster gradually turned into a beautiful golden brown under the cooking of the oil temperature. The smell alone makes you drool.
When Zhou Yi placed the fried lobster on the plate, the gate of the villa's wall opened slowly. As the gate of the wall with voice recognition as the key, only three people's voices can be opened normally, and Xia Ruisi is one of them.
Obviously, Sharis and the others just arrived at this time. Reaching out his hand to take off his apron, he walked towards the gate of the villa. When Zhou Yi opened the door, he happened to see Ororo and Qin. Grey and Sharis, along with three other young men and women, got out of the car.
Facing several invited guests, Zhou Yi first went with Ororo and Qin. Grey gave a warm hug, then looked at Sharis and the three young people beside her and said.
"Welcome to my house, I'm Zhou Yi, Xia Ruisi's brother. It's not the first time we've met for these two young ladies. But this gentleman is a new face, so I still have to introduce myself." Zhou Yi He nodded to Katie and the girl named Vivien Leigh who had been with Sharis last time, and then extended his hand to a tall, muscular boy with short smooth hair and a somewhat silent boy.
The boy held Zhou Yi's outstretched hand calmly, and said calmly, "First meeting, Mr. Zhou Yi. I'm Pete. I'm glad you invited me to be a guest."
"Welcome, young man. It's my honor to invite Sharis's friends over." Patting Pete on the shoulder, Zhou Yi moved away. "Come in, ladies and gentlemen. Please don't be restrained, just treat me as your own home. Although it is only the personal domain of a bachelor, it should satisfy everyone."
Just as the young man walked into the hall with Ororo and looked around curiously, Zhou Yi grabbed his sister. asked in a low voice.
"Hey, Xia Ruisi. Who is this guy. Don't tell me what is yours..." At this time, Zhou Yi had completely entered the role of a worried brother. To be honest, although he still had an impression of Pete. Yes, but if you are really misinformed by yourself, then ask them to go to the bottom of the Atlantic to find him.
"Hey, you care too much." Xia Ruisi gave her brother a charming glance. With the same sneaky expression, he leaned into his ear and said.
"I can tell you that Pete and I have only a normal relationship, but I saw that he was interested in Katie, so I invited him over. I plan to take advantage of the time when I leave school to give them a little improvement!"
"Xia Ruisi, has anyone told you that your current performance is really too rude." Looking at Xia Ruisi who looked like a little fox stealing chickens, Zhou Yi let out a sigh of relief and also laughed at the same time. .
For her brother's teasing, Xia Ruisi gritted her teeth and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. Although it was of no use, Zhou Yi still made a grinning expression.
And getting the effect she wanted, Xia Ruisi raised her head and ran to her little friends with her big braids.
Looking at the restrained young people, Zhou Yi pretended to touch his waist, and said with emotion: "Girls, and young men. If you think this is too boring, let Xia Ruisi take you to the game room to play for a while, trust me. The collection should not disappoint you."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yi looked at Ororo who shook his head helplessly and Qin who stood with his chest folded. Grey, said again.
"If you're worried about the teacher, don't worry. I'll hold them back for you until it's time to eat."
Looking at Qin and Ororo, who didn't block their intentions, Xia Ruisi directly took her two good friends to the second floor. She had been here a few times, and she knew where the game room was, but the big Pete was a little confused. Looking at the two teachers with embarrassment, they also left the hall with petite Katie.
Watching a few young people walk out of the hall, Zhou Yi directly stretched out his hand to embrace Ororo's slender waist, and said to the two of them with a smile: "You guys came just right, I just need two people to help me fight?"
Ororo hurriedly patted Zhou Yi's restless left hand and gave him a blank look.
"Don't mess around, Qin is still here."
piano. Grey just turned her head silently when she heard the words, and said calmly, "I didn't see anything."
This attitude made Ororo even more embarrassed. After all, Zhou Yi was still younger than him, and being so ambiguous with Zhou Yi in front of her friends really made her a little embarrassed. Therefore, her attitude became more and more determined, and she would not let Zhou Yi take advantage of anything.
So in the end, Zhou Yi could only express his surrender to Ororo with his hands up. He didn't mind how ambiguous he was with Ororo in front of Qin, but those main dishes did. The fried lobster will be soft if it is dragged for too long.
So Zhou Yi could only ask again: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. But two ladies, I really need your help now."
"What do you want to do, I only have experience in pasta." Qin. Gray responded directly to him.
"It's very simple, as long as you learn how to do it!" Zhou Yi pulled Ororo and led the two beauties directly into the kitchen.
Looking at the things that had been prepared in the kitchen, Ororo looked at Zhou Yi in surprise, and said with a rare compliment in his tone.
"It's the first time I've discovered that you still have the talent to be a chef."
"Trust me, it's definitely a professional level." Zhou Yi smiled, directly picked up the thickest piece of dough, scooped a spoonful of the prepared beef stuffing into it, and flexibly sealed it with his five fingers.
Looking at Zhou Yi's unscientific hand speed of several dumplings per second, Ororo rolled his eyes directly, while Qin. Grey imitated Zhou Yi's technique and tried it, but unfortunately squeezed and fried the dumpling skin.
"You call this easy?" Ororo said angrily. As a user of Western catering culture, she said that this thing was almost completely beyond her ability.
"Trust me, this is the easiest thing. You just need to practice."
"Forget it, I'd rather make sandwiches. Is there anything else that needs my help?" Ororo directly rejected Zhou Yi's opinion after she destroyed a pile of dumpling wrappers.
"Okay, dear. If you don't mind, could you get me something to drink back here, I haven't cleaned it up here in a long time and have nothing but wine and regular milk. I don't want that. The little guys complained about my poor hospitality here."
"Okay, leave it to me." Ororo shook the key and left the kitchen briskly. Perhaps for her, this kind of place is no easier than the battlefield.
Watching Ororo leave the mansion, Zhou Yi turned to face Qin who was still working hard. Grey smiled.
"Well, looking at you, you seem to need a little help from me."
The piano at this time. Grey is still struggling with how to make dumplings, but judging from the finished product she has, the results don't seem so satisfying.
