Chapter 418 A Perfect Marriage
Chapter 418 A Perfect Marriage
Thinking that I have more than twenty ducks laying eggs at home, I have already made several large jars of preserved eggs, but now I am worried about how to sell them.
Before that, I had planned to go to Shopkeeper Wang to discuss this matter.
Now, he has come to me on his own initiative, which, if you think about it, is a good thing.
An Yue discovered that in this dynasty, no one knew how to make preserved eggs.
Preserved eggs can be found in large restaurants such as Wanfulou and Qianxilou.
At present, I am the only one who knows how to make preserved eggs.
Gradually expand sales, and maybe it will be a good source of income in the future.
It seems that I need to study carefully how to eat preserved eggs.
An Yue began to think about various ways to eat preserved eggs.
Preserved eggs are also called preserved eggs. They can usually be made into preserved eggs with tofu, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and preserved eggs with roasted peppers.
You can also make soups, such as Chinese cabbage and preserved egg soup, cucumber and preserved egg soup.
To make cold-boiled preserved eggs delicious, you need seasoning.
But a single dish of cold-boiled preserved eggs is obviously not grand enough.
In a restaurant, what matters is the food’s color, aroma and taste.
What would it look like if you put the mouth-watering chicken and preserved eggs on the same plate?
The seasonings needed for mouth-watering chicken, such as chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, mashed garlic, ginger juice, and soy sauce, bring a spicy taste that stimulates the taste buds.
These seasonings can also be used in cold-mixed preserved eggs. Far from conflicting, the two complement each other.
The preserved eggs are contrasted with the chicken, which makes them more visually colorful.
The addition of preserved eggs makes the chicken more unique and innovative.
Pair the two together for a unique and delicious dish.
At this time, it was almost the afternoon.
After the family finished packing up their business in the shop, they closed the door, put on their backpacks and prepared to go home.
Along the way, Chunzhi's aunt and others were immersed in the joy of making money.
Only An Yue said nothing.
An Yue has been thinking about how to make preserved eggs and mouth-watering chicken.
She planned to start doing it as soon as she got home from dinner.
So she said to Daniu Ale, "Daniu, Ale, when you get home, catch a rooster, kill it and clean it. I will cook it for everyone tonight."
Chunzhi snickered and said, "Miss, ever since Master Gu slaughtered a chicken, I've noticed that the roosters in our house are getting smaller and smaller as we raise them?"
An Yue cleared her throat and asked with a wicked smile, "I guess Chunzhi doesn't like it!"
Chunzhi quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, Chunzhi likes it. I like it very much."
An Yue said calmly: "Our family has been very tired these past few days. Tonight, we will cook a dish that everyone has never eaten before, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone."
"That's great. We'll have chicken for dinner. If the young master knew about this, he would probably jump for joy." Chunzhi said excitedly.
......
Several people returned home.
First, aunt-in-law and Chunzhi went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare to process the chicken feathers.
An Yue and her grandmother went to the east wing to see Xiao Bao.
Da Niu and A'er quickly killed the chicken and put it into a wooden barrel.
Afterwards, the aunt-in-law and Chunzhi permed and plucked the chicken feathers together.
An Yue quickly came out of the east wing and went straight to the kitchen.
She skillfully prepared various seasonings one by one and put them aside.
At this time, Chunzhi and her aunt also cleaned the chicken feathers.
An Yue cut off the smelly meat on the chicken tail and threw it away, then cut the whole chicken in half and put them into the pot.
Then cut a few slices of ginger and scallion, salt, and a little pepper, put them into the pot one by one, and cook them together with the chicken.
An Yue said to Chunzhi who was under the stove: "Chunzhi, you can start the fire and cook."
"Okay, sure." Chunzhi began to pass firewood into the stove.
My aunt and grandmother were cooking the staple food in the iron pot next to them.
......
Half a quarter of an hour later, the water in the pot began to boil.
An Yue skimmed off the foam floating on the chicken soup.
"Haruji, you have to cook it on low heat now."
Chunzhi asked in confusion, "Miss, can it be cooked on low heat?"
"The dish we are going to make is called mouth-watering chicken. We can't keep cooking it over high heat, otherwise the chicken skin will be cooked."
Chunzhi nodded, not quite understanding.
After skimming off the foam, An Yue covered the pot again and said, "Cook it for a quarter of an hour with the lid on, then turn off the fire and simmer for another quarter of an hour and it's done."
As An Yue spoke, she began to clean the preserved eggs.
She took out four preserved eggs, first cleaned the wood ash on the outside of the eggs, and then peeled the eggshells.
Wash the peeled preserved eggs again, and then cut them into four pieces with a kitchen knife.
She prepared all the seasonings and set them aside, waiting for the chicken to be cooked.
The staple food for my aunt and grandmother is ready, and the dishes made by An Yue and Chun Zhi are almost ready.
Considering that An Nian and sister-in-law Meng Xiuer couldn't eat spicy food, they took half of the cooked chicken out of the pot and placed it in cold water.
The other half of the chicken was chopped into pieces and continued to be stewed in the pot. When it was cooked, it was given to my sister-in-law to nourish her body.
Then, An Yue took out half the chicken from the cold water, placed it on the chopping board, and cut it into slices with a kitchen knife. Each slice was as wide as a finger.
First put the chopped chicken in a large ceramic bowl, then place the preserved egg in the middle.
Finally, pour the sauce over the chicken and preserved eggs, and sprinkle some chili peppers, peppercorns and scallions on them as garnish.
Use chopsticks to gently flip the chicken slices to allow the sauce to fully absorb the flavor.
Just like that, a delicious preserved egg and mouth-watering chicken is ready.
At this moment, it makes me salivate.
Chunzhi swallowed her saliva and asked with a smile: "Miss, this dish is really delicious, what is its name?"
An Yue then realized that this dish was meant to be served in a big restaurant, and the name of the dish couldn't be too rustic, it had to be grand and upscale.
So, she decided to give it a nice and meaningful name.
She stared at the spicy and fragrant mouth-watering chicken and preserved eggs in the big bowl for a long time.
After a few breaths, he said, "It's called 'Golden Jade Marriage'."
Chunzhi clapped her hands and praised: "Golden Jade Marriage... this dish name is really nice."
"Okay! Let's get ready for dinner."
As soon as An Yue finished speaking, An Nian came back from the school.
Soon, the family sat around the octagonal table in the main hall and happily enjoyed their dinner.
The whole family enjoyed the meal with gusto and praised this 'golden marriage' highly.
After dinner, the family began to divide the work.
Chunzhi and her aunt-in-law cleaned the kitchen and washed the dishes, while Annian was responsible for wiping the table and putting the benches in place.
Big cattle and Ale feed poultry and livestock.
An Yue returned to the east wing and held her nephew for a while.
As the night deepens, the cold becomes stronger.
Everyone went back to the room and lay on the bed.
An Yue was lying on the bed, thinking about the dish "Golden Jade Marriage".
If I can get the approval of Shopkeeper Wang, how should I discuss cooperation with Shopkeeper Wang on this dish?
Now that we have opened a Malatang shop in the town, the family is a little tired.
But earning several taels of silver every day is an unimaginable happiness for ordinary people.
