Life is a Game

As soon as Jiang Feng entered, Tian Lin and Grandma Jiang fell silent. Not only did they not speak, but Tian Lin also looked a little embarrassed.

She didn't know how many conversations she had heard with Grandma Jiang, and she was afraid that Jiang Feng might have heard something that she shouldn't have heard.

"Aunt, do you want to learn how to stew meat with bamboo shoots?" Jiang Feng didn't think as much as Tian Lin thought, and asked on his own.

Hearing Jiang Feng ask Tian Lin like this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah, isn't your sister Meimei having a bad appetite these two days? I just want to learn some new dishes and cook them for her to see if she can eat them. I haven’t eaten meat for several days, so how can I keep up with my nutrition.”

"If it's just stewed pork with bamboo shoots, I can teach you. This dish is not difficult. I believe you will be able to master it soon after learning it." Jiang Feng said with a smile, "Anyway, our two families are close, if you can't learn it today I can come over and teach you in two days."

Before Tian Lin could open her mouth, Grandma Jiang said excitedly: "Yes, you can let Xiaofeng teach you how to cook, a strong daughter-in-law. Weiguo has a bad temper, so Xiaofeng is more suitable. And Xiaofeng also has experience in teaching people to cook. He also took in an apprentice this year, and he taught it very well, and now he can even make noodles with fried sauce in only half a year. Isn't it Xiaofeng?"

Grandma Jiang didn't forget to cue Jiang Feng.

The microphone was already in his mouth, Jiang Feng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes."

Tian Lin was still a little dazed, and already felt that Jiang Feng and Grandma Jiang's idea was good, but she still had to be humble: "This is not good, Xiaofeng has been working, and it is rare to come to teach me how to cook during the New Year's break , too hard."

"Auntie, look at what you said, how can it be hard work to teach you how to cook?" Jiang Feng was very enthusiastic.

How can it be hard work to do tasks?

"Miss Meimei took me so well when I was a child. She gave me everything delicious. When eating stewed meat, I never forgot to put the fat in my bowl." Jiang Feng began to talk nonsense with his eyes open, "Sister Meimei We are also anxious when we can’t eat, and teaching you to cook is to help sister Meimei. There is no such thing as hard work, it should be!”

Tian Lin's tears were about to fall when she heard this, and she scolded herself in her heart for being blind, why she didn't realize that Jiang Feng was such an enthusiastic and good boy.

"Xiaofeng, I won't talk about other aunts. Auntie is here to thank you for you, sister Meimei. By the way, there is still stewed meat in the pot, and auntie will serve you a bowl of stewed meat." Tian Lin said Going to get the bowl.

Jiang Feng quickly grabbed her: "No need for aunt, I really can't eat the glutinous rice balls just now."

Grandma Jiang saw that she was no longer needed in the kitchen, so she put the vegetables she had just chosen into the basin, and said to Jiang Feng, "Xiao Feng, you stay in the kitchen to help your aunt, I'll go for a walk."

"Good grandma." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Grandma Jiang left the kitchen, leaving only Jiang Feng and Tian Lin in the kitchen.

Since Grandma Jiang asked Jiang Feng to stay and help, Jiang Feng was obliged to have lunch at noon today. Jiang Feng looked at the vegetables in the kitchen. There were quite a lot of varieties. Basically, there were vegetables that could be seen on the market in winter, and there was no shortage of meat. If you wanted chickens and ducks, there were live ones in the yard.

"Aunt, what dishes are you going to cook for lunch today?" Jiang Feng asked.

Tian Lin smiled: "Your aunt and I have the same skills. I'm going to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes, fried pork with peppers and braised pork. There are ready-made ones in the stew pot."

Basically, every year when Grandma Jiang brings Jiang's family over to pay New Year's greetings, Tian Lin cooks these dishes.

Jiang Feng nodded, as if he had found the feeling he had when teaching the patient's family members how to cook in Renyi's canteen. Teaching one thing is also teaching, and teaching several things is also teaching. Jiang Feng felt that if he only taught one bamboo shoot stew, it would not be enough to guarantee Zhao Mei's diet before giving birth. It is better to teach a few more home-cooked dishes that Tian Lin is good at, so as to completely improve Zhao's food.

"Auntie, you will cook all the dishes for lunch today except the braised pork. I will watch from the side. If you have any questions, I will tell you and teach you some tips. Don't cook the braised pork. I will do it in the afternoon. Do it together with bamboo shoot stew, when I make it, you can watch it carefully, I will specially emphasize some important steps, so don't worry that you won't learn it." Jiang Feng suggested.

"Then trouble you." Tian Lin knew that her cooking skills were not very good, and she also knew that the Jiang family's cooking skills were notoriously good. Grandma Jiang told her during the chat earlier that Jiang Feng is now working in the store every day like Jiang Jiankang.

Tian Lin had no idea about the chef industry, and thought that since Jiang Feng was already at work, it meant he was a chef. The chef came to teach her how to cook, so she naturally didn't make any sense.

Tian Lin began to chop vegetables in front of Jiang Feng.

In terms of knife skills, Tian Lin is not bad, just the level of an ordinary housewife's knife skills. When Jiang Feng was checking the progress of tasks in Renyi's small kitchen, he saw many people who were worse than Tian Lin's knife skills.

Jiang Feng didn't say anything when Tian Lin was chopping the vegetables. At most, he occasionally reminded her that she could actually cut the vegetables into smaller pieces, which were all minor problems.

Tian Lin's biggest problem is seasoning.

Because Zhao's family has been poor for too many years, Tian Lin's dishes are always in two extremes, either heavy oil, heavy salt and heavy sauce, or no oil, no salt and no sauce, the salty ones are deadly salty, and the light ones are deadly light. She has long been used to only adding a little oil and seasonings when cooking and cooking vegetables on weekdays. During the Chinese New Year, she will add more ingredients when cooking. She especially likes to put more oil and salt.

Jiang Feng remembered that when he was not in elementary school more than 10 years ago, Tian Lin cooked vegetables by putting oilcloth on the pot instead of pouring oil. At that time, Jiang Feng was always wondering why Tian Lin didn't put any oil in the cooking. He thought the oilcloth was a rag, which was used to wipe the pot before cooking.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Feng, who had been talking very little when Tian Lin was chopping vegetables, became very talkative when he started cooking.

"Auntie, you poured too much oil. This amount of oil is enough for you to fry 4 eggs, and you only fried two. Crack two more eggs in."

"Auntie, there's no need to add so much salt to scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Don't add this spoonful of salt. If you add too much salt, the taste of this vegetable will change."

"Eat more salt to be able to work hard." Tian Lin couldn't help retorting, "And both your uncle and grandpa like to eat vegetables with a lot of salt."

A heavy taste that the whole family eats.

Jiang Feng: "...Auntie, uncle and grandpa are getting old, it's better to eat less salt, listen to me, put less, at most add half a teaspoon, really can't be more."

"You can't add so much soy sauce! Aunt, why do you add soy sauce to fried tomatoes and scrambled eggs? There is no need to add soy sauce to this dish!"

A pot of steaming hot scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which looks normal and tastes good, is difficult to get out of the pot.

Tian Lin started to burn chili fried meat.

In order to let Tian Lin cook better, and also to facilitate Jiang Feng's teaching, Jiang Feng helped Tian Lin divide all the ingredients and packed them according to the quantity, including the fatty meat that Jiang Feng thought Tian Lin had cut. cut.

There is no problem with fried pork belly with chili, but there is a big problem with pork belly with a fat-to-lean ratio of 8:2. Stir-fried peppers and fried meat are more suitable. If the meat is cut thin enough, June Fourth is also acceptable.

Jiang Feng specially helped Tian Lin re-cut a plate of thin pork belly slices for frying chili and pork.

Then Jiang Feng watched Tian Lin heat the oil into the pan, and turned to take the plate of pork belly that Jiang Feng had set far away.

"Auntie is wrong, it's not this set, it's that set, the one in your hand!" Jiang Feng grabbed Tian Lin.

Tian Lin was still a little dazed, she obviously didn't understand the difference between the two plates of meat, they were all pork belly.

"Auntie, you can't use pork belly that is too fat to stir-fry chili and pork. If you want to use fatty pork belly, you have to cut the meat thinner, otherwise the meat will be too soft and greasy after a bite."

"Isn't it good to eat all the oil in one bite? There's plenty of oil and water in this way, and the fragrance is delicious." Tian Lin has her own cooking theory system.

Jiang Feng: "...Auntie, uncle and grandpa are getting old too. Eating such fat food is not good for your health, really. The same goes for you and uncle. Don't always eat such fat food, it's not good for your health."

Tian Lin was reluctantly convinced, but she was still a little reluctant to part with the plate of meat she cut: "But it tastes better if it's rich in oil and water."

"It's as delicious as I taught you!"

The pork belly was successfully put into the pot.

"Yes, that's it. Auntie, stir-fry the pork belly for a while to get the oil out. When the meat changes color and bends a bit, you can put peppers in it."

"Enough is enough, enough soy sauce, no more. Cooking wine, you have to put cooking wine, you have to put cooking wine for this roast meat!"

"Oh, that's all right, you can add some white sugar for color and seasoning at the end. Just a little, don't put too much, your spoonful is too much!"

The chili fried meat came out of the pan smoothly.

After the fried potato shreds came out of the pot, Jiang Feng felt that his voice was a little hoarse.

I can't blame him for being too excited, mainly because Tian Lin's hand movements are too fast. If you don't get excited and shout your voice louder to stop her, then the material will probably go straight into the pot.

After three dishes, Jiang Feng felt that his teaching level had greatly improved.

Not only has the level of teaching been greatly improved, but even the speed of speaking has also been greatly improved. Speaking slowly cannot stop Tian Lin's movements at all.

She sprinkles salt so quickly that she doesn't look like a would-be grandma at all.

Tian Lin also felt that her cooking skills had been greatly improved. Although she felt that Jiang Feng didn't let her add more ingredients, it made her cook a little unnaturally, but the appearance of the dishes after they were cooked was indeed better than the medicine she made before. nice. Especially the tomato scrambled eggs look brighter without soy sauce, and the color is much brighter.

"Xiaofeng, aren't these three dishes a little short? Even if there is stewed meat in the pot, it doesn't look good on the table. There are so many people eating. I think it's too early to make braised pork, right? "Tian Lin said.

"No need." Jiang Feng began to tie on his apron, "Put these few dishes in the pot next to it first, and cover it with a lid to keep it warm."

"Let me cook the rest of the dishes."
