Chapter 224 Braised Fish Nuggets (1)
One lunch lasted like a year, and when night fell, Xunzhou packed up and went back.
The first day I set up a stall, I got nothing.
It’s amazing that you can gain something! Even if he was targeted as soon as he showed up, how could the gangster look for a scholar who had just set up a stall here the day before?
Always keep an eye on it for a period of time to make sure there are no problems before you start.
After hastily collecting a few paintings and calligraphy, and returning the rented table, Xunzhou squeezed into the crowd with his things, and taking advantage of the noise caused by a few guards catching "thieves", he ducked into the small shop on the side. Lane, took a shortcut back to his residence.
Although he didn't eat the fish head and tofu stew with chopped peppers that he had for lunch at Dali Temple, this evening meal was sent directly to his home by Zhao You.
I had fish head and tofu stew for lunch, and braised fish cubes for dinner.
The thick cloth wrapped the casserole tightly. Xunzhou was burned several times before he finally opened the lid. The moment the lid was lifted, the salty and fresh aroma that was firmly locked in it spread in all directions. Come.
Quickly, the fish pieces with brown skin lay quietly in the casserole together with the tender green onions. Each piece was tightly wrapped in the thick braised sauce, and the thick stewed sauce was shiny. Shiny, with scattered red pepper rings dotting it, adding a lot of brightness to the whole dish.
Zhao You had just left when he got home. Apparently, not long had passed since the braised fish pieces were taken off the stove and brought to him. The sporadic "gulu gulu" bubbles were the best proof.
Now that a pot of braised fish fillets has entered my eyes, I can no longer look away. Xunzhou couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks on the side and pick up the braised fish pieces in the casserole.
The fish pieces were picked up, and the sticky braised sauce hanging on them was crumbling. The moment Xunzhou put it in his mouth, he instinctively sucked up the sauce that was about to fall from the top. The sauce was salty with a strong fish flavor. The umami taste is slightly spicy, but it is not just salty. There seems to be a sweet umami taste that is so light that you can hardly taste the sweetness.
The taste of the sauce gradually increased. He only ate a flat bun for lunch. Xunzhou, who was already hungry, postponed his desire to eat fish. He picked up the spoon on the side with his other hand and quickly took a spoonful. The rice goes into your mouth with the aftertaste of the sauce.
Then, my greed was completely aroused, and my stomach growled more happily!
Xunzhou put down his spoon and opened his mouth to bite the braised fish pieces. The moment his teeth bit the fish pieces, Xunzhou was stunned for a moment.
When he saw the braised fish cubes just now, he wanted to say that the braised fish cubes seemed to be piece by piece compared to what he had seen before, and they were all "perfect". This was the same as the braised fish cubes in his memory. Something different.
In my memory, the braised fish fillets are a dish no matter how careful and meticulous the cook is. Since the fish fillets are braised, they still have to be turned and pulled with a spatula. The fish meat has clear lines, and no matter how careful you are, it will always fall apart when you turn it over.
Therefore, the dish of braised fish nuggets always turns into large and small "braised fish nuggets" in the end. It is extremely rare to be able to barely maintain its shape, but sister Mingtang's braised fish nuggets are indeed... Zhou Zheng's not Sounds good.
As for Zhou Zheng's reason, Xunzhou understood it immediately when his teeth bit into the crispy fish pieces.
This fish piece must have been specially fried before being braised. Although it is fried, it is not covered with a thick layer of batter like ordinary twisters. However, even without batter, the fried fish is not as crispy as The twist is half a point less.
Although it is crispy on the outside, it is only a thin layer, so it breaks apart with just one bite, revealing the fish meat with clear lines inside.
The tender white fish meat is as thick as garlic cloves and tastes extremely tender. The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
While Xunzhou was eating the fish, he stuffed the sauce and rice into his mouth with big mouthfuls.
When the last spoonful was empty, I realized that I had finished the pot of braised fish pieces without even realizing it!
Pour the last bit of rice into the remaining sauce, mix it and put it in your mouth.
When the casserole was empty and there was not a grain of rice left, Xunzhou put down the chopsticks in his hands, burped, leaned against the wall behind him with unfinished thoughts, touched his belly and sighed: Today is such a short day. , but it’s really like experiencing ups and downs! Probably the contrast between these three foods is so strong that when I think about it now, I feel that when I ate the morning meal in the morning, I felt as if I had ascended to the sky, and when I ate the flat buns for lunch, I felt as if I suddenly fell from the sky to the ground. After an afternoon, when I had my evening meal, I felt like I was flying into the sky again!
But this feeling of being in heaven and on earth is just because of that meal. Xunzhou couldn't help but sigh: In the past, he never knew that he was such a greedy person! To be so emotional over a meal!
But looking at the group of people in Dali Temple, Xunzhou felt that there was no harm in just being greedy for one or two bites of food: Eating, drinking, and having sex is a human nature. Since eating is inevitable every day, it is not a bad behavior to pay attention to one or two bites of food. It doesn’t hurt!
After thinking about it, Xunzhou put down the chopsticks in his hand: I don’t know what sister Mingtang will make for breakfast tomorrow morning. It’s really exciting!
…
Wen Mingtang, who was "missed" by Xunzhou, sneezed and looked at Li Yuan, who had not appeared in a long time, in a daze: Hasn't this person been locked up at home?
When he came back to his senses, Wen Mingtang looked Li Yuan up and down, and the look of suspicion on his face became even more suspicious: just show up when you show up, after all, Li Yuan is not a prisoner in prison. But he was covered in mud and dirt, and Shuangxi, the loser who always followed him, was not here. A fool could guess that he probably climbed the wall or climbed out of a hole and sneaked out. If the Prince of Pingxi County came to the door...
Looking at Wen Mingtang's suspicious eyes in front of him, Li Yuan couldn't help but clenched his fists with his hands hanging by his sides angrily: "You stinky girl named Wen, what's that look in your eyes? If I hadn't heard that you were almost abducted, I would have... I’m too lazy to come out to see you!”
Turns out I came to see her! Wen Mingtang said "Oh". Although he didn't feel that he had any great friendship with the little prince, he still said "Thank you", turned around and brought a pot of braised fish fillets to Li Yuan.
To be fair, there was nothing wrong with Wen Mingtang's reaction, but Li Yuan felt inexplicably angry and aggrieved. Seeing Wen Mingtang put down the casserole and was about to leave, he couldn't help but said: "I came out specifically to see you. !”
Hearing the emphasis on the word "specially"... Wen Mingtang raised his eyes and looked at Li Yuan, who was raising his chin. The little prince glanced at her, proud and excited, as if he was waiting for her to be moved and thank him.
But when Wen Mingtang saw this, he felt very calm in his heart: As a human being from two lifetimes, this young man's thoughts were hard to understand at first, but now he understands them.
But before that, she had to confirm one thing.
"How did the little prince know that I was almost kidnapped?"
Only the chef and Liu Yuan knew that there was something wrong with the noodles. Although it was not a secret and there was no need to keep it secret, even Liu Yuan, who had the most out-of-control temper, was not the kind of person who would ask someone for no reason. Outsiders talked about this matter, where did Li Yuan know about it?
There is another update today^-^Happy weekend everyone!
