Chapter 56 Enjoyment between host and guest

Every dish on the dinner table is eye-catching because Qiao Yun incorporates her own cooking into each dish.

Take the sunflower-chopped meat, for example. Strictly speaking, this dish is not part of the Shaobi Banquet. It is said that this dish was made by a famous chef with the theme of Yangzhou Sunflower Hill when Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty visited Yangzhou.

The fist-sized meatballs are fried first and then poured with sauce, shaped like a lion's head. But Qiao Yun made them the same size as ordinary meatballs, which is convenient for eating and avoids the embarrassment of big meatballs being easily crushed.

Fried meatballs are one of the must-have home-cooked dishes for the holidays in the north, and every household has its own way of making them. Ordinary people usually make vegetarian meatballs, add a little minced meat for seasoning, and then add flour or radish vermicelli to the stuffing.

Add one or two more eggs into it and fry it until it becomes crispy and crispy. In their opinion, fried food itself is the ultimate delicacy.

Wealthy people eat mostly meatballs, which are rich in meat and eggs, and are soft and oily. These meatballs are also called rich meatballs.

However, the meatballs made by Qiao Yun are different from these two. She uses a whole piece of pork belly, which is evenly fat and thin, oily and fragrant, and not greasy at all. Then she mixes chopped fungus and lotus root into it, and adds the filling

Seasoned with special green onion, ginger, and peppercorn water, the whole meatball is bitten in one bite, and the meat is juicy, tender, crispy, and fragrant. The sauce poured on the meatballs and the crispy lotus root in the meatballs add rich seasoning and texture.

Another example is the Han Palace Chess dish. The usual method is to beat fresh shrimps, fish, and chicken into a paste, shape them into chess pieces, pour the prepared stock, and steam them in a pot. The stock used by Qiao Yun is the same as boiling cabbage.

The soup base is as clear as water, extremely delicious but not greasy at all. The texture of the chess pieces is not soft, tender and elastic, and you can also eat some crispy vegetable particles. You can tell which ones are minced mutton and which ones are fish.

Minced meat, which is minced shrimp, is not like

Originally, the New Year's Eve dinner was always full of chatter and laughter, but this year's New Year's Eve dinner was very quiet. The deliciousness of the dishes made them abandon all reserve. The wind blew under everyone's chopsticks, and there was a roar of tigers and dragons swallowing.

Liu Er picked up a piece of spicy beef tendon. The bright red spicy oil on the beef made his index fingers tingle. He directly stuffed the whole piece into his mouth. This unprecedented experience made him want to stop.

"What is this? So different from the spiciness of ginger, mustard and dogwood!"

Qiao Yun glanced at the red oil on the tips of his chopsticks and explained: "This is chili pepper! I accidentally discovered it in the farmland. The fruit was red and looked very pleasant. So I picked it to make seasoning.

, how about it? Is it spicy enough?"

"It's so exciting!" Liu Er ate another piece of beef, which was so spicy.

"If it's spicy, drink something cold to moisten it." Qiao Yun asked the maid to bring him the boiled and cooled milk and pour him a bowl.

"Thank you." Liu Er gratefully drank the milk in one gulp, then turned back to battle wits with the spicy beef.

Just when everyone thought they didn't have enough chopsticks, three more maids came in carrying trays. Each tray contained a large plate of fat, white Yanyue wontons.

"This one's for meat, three delicacies, this one's for pork, green onions, and this one's for pickled vegetables and mutton." The maids put three of each kind into the bowls of everyone present, and placed a dish of garlic paste mixed with vinegar on the table.

.

The dumplings were not as delicious as the other ones. When Meng Shaoqing saw the dumplings coming, she stopped eating and concentrated on the dumplings in the bowl, leaving her mouth full of oil.

The pork in the dumplings stuffed with pork and green onion should be in a ratio of three fat to seven lean, and the fatness is just right. The meat filling is mixed with the chopped green onion, which is very smooth.

The stuffing of Rou Sanxian is pork, shrimp and egg. The soft meat filling and the chewy and chewy shrimp are a perfect match.

As for the dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut and mutton, the filling is delicious!

Sauerkraut and mutton were originally a main dish at banquets. Mutton was the staple meat for wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty. Sauerkraut pickled with Chinese cabbage was a specialty of the Andong Protectorate. It was introduced after the Xuan Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo.

Zhongyuan. After the mutton smell is removed by the pickled cabbage, only the meat is plump and delicious. It is hot and dipped in the garlic sauce and swallowed. The heat falls straight from the throat to the stomach, making people inhale happily.

It was a great New Year's Eve dinner for both guests and host, and no one was dissatisfied!

Mrs. Lu was very happy after eating: "Yun Yatou, I am convinced by you! I have never had such delicious Han Palace Chess in Chang'an!"

Han Gong chess is not a top-notch luxurious dish, and aristocratic families will cook it during the Chinese New Year, and the same goes for the Lu family. But unlike the Han Gong chess dish in front of you, which is like a work of art, the soup of those Han Gong chess soups is not only turbid,

Moreover, the chess pieces were cooked a little too soft, and the flavors of the chess pieces and the soup were mixed with each other, and neither the minced meat nor the broth could taste the original flavor.

"How do you make the soup base of Han Gongqi? Why is it so fresh?" Mrs. Lu couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Yun clapped her fingers and said, "A whole chicken, a whole duck, a pair of pork ribs, a whole ham, and some scallops. After removing the impurities, they simmered slowly for a whole day.

Finally, we use minced pork tenderloin, duck breast minced meat and chicken breast minced meat to sweep out the impurities in the soup, so that the soup base can be so clear, fresh and bright."

"These minced meat chess pieces of yours need so much meat and fish to go with it!" Mrs. Lu was stunned. "What about the meat left after making the soup? You didn't throw it all away, did you?"

"How can that be done!" Qiao Yun shook her head quickly, "Although the essence of the delicious food has gone into the soup, the remaining meat is still meat! I have the final say to share it with the maids and women in the mansion as a tooth sacrifice. You

Don’t blame me.”

Lu was relieved when she heard that it was not wasted.

"You are a good boy! How can I blame you! These servants have worked hard all year long, and they deserve to have a free meal of meat during the Chinese New Year!"

After the meal was finished, everyone had eaten until their bellies were round. The table was littered with cups and plates, and not a single plate was left.

"Comfortable" Chi Qing let out a long sigh and drank two glasses of sweet rice wine before suppressing the urge to burp. He slumped on the backrest of the footless chair, stretched out and said, "New Year's Eve dinner every year.

This is the first time this year that I am so satisfied.”

"It's all because of Qiao Yun's sister's good craftsmanship!" Meng Shaoheng found that when he praised Qiao Yun, the beautiful sister would have a faint smile on her face. So, in order to win the beauty's smile, he did not hesitate to praise him at all.

word.

"Okay. Who wants to stay awake tonight? I'll ask someone to prepare midnight snacks for you."

"I want it!" Meng Shaoqing was the first to raise her hand: "I want to stay with Sister Ayun!"

"No." Mrs. Lu glared at her: "Your sister Ayun has been busy all day, why don't you let her have a good rest quickly! Besides, you children are growing up, so you are not allowed to stay up late!

"

Meng Shaoheng said: "We want to stay up late. We originally planned to go to the back yard to enjoy the snow. We heard that the maids hung lanterns on the pavilion and trees in the back garden, so we wanted to take a look at the night view."

"good."

After everything was settled, Qiao Yun was taken back to the wing by Yun Xuemei, took off her coat and stuffed her into bed.

Qiao Yun yawned and closed her eyes.

Although she was indeed tired, she couldn't just sleep.

There is a place at the other end of the game space waiting for her to catch up!
