Chapter 767 Are you here to learn from a master?
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat braised pork yesterday?" Zhang Yan came up to him directly. "I see that you don't have anything in your kitchen, so even if you buy the meat, I can't make braised pork."
"What do you mean?" Wu De didn't understand.
“In addition to oil, salt and soy sauce, making braised pork also requires some rock sugar or white sugar, and then star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and it would be best to add some angelica, which can greatly enhance the taste.” Zhang Yan explained clearly.
"Really?" Wu De was stunned by Zhang Yan's intimidation. It seemed that Zhang Yan's craftsmanship was not bad. What he said yesterday was probably a modesty and excuse.
"Yes, what I said is true." Zhang Yan was very grateful to Shanshan in her heart. If it weren't for her, how would she know that so many spices are needed to cook a good braised pork.
In her opinion, if barbecued pork is cooked with soy sauce, it must taste very good. How can there be so many ingredients?
"In addition to buying vegetables, I also have to buy the things you mentioned," Wu De wanted to back out, "This is too much trouble!"
Zhang Yan immediately showed her consideration when she heard this. "Teacher Wu, I won't let you go shopping alone. I've been waiting here so that I can go with you and bring the things back. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too tiring for you?"
Wu De saw that Zhang Yan was very sensible and his words made people feel comfortable, "Okay, let's go together!"
After Zhang Yan came back from buying vegetables and spices with Wu De, Wu De threw the meat and vegetables directly to Zhang Yan, "I'll leave it to you from now on, any questions?"
"Teacher Wu, just wait!" Zhang Yan was full of confidence and urged Wu De to leave the kitchen early.
After Wu De left, she took out the steps she had recorded yesterday from her pocket, recited them carefully again, and then started the operation.
She asked about this step very carefully yesterday, including how big the meat should be cut, how long to wait before putting the meat in when frying the sugar color, how many minutes to let the meat release oil in the pan, and when to add the spices.
I’m afraid that any step will be wrong and affect the taste of the braised pork.
She wanted to become famous in one battle, rather than disappoint Wu De the first time.
After she carefully followed the steps to cook the braised pork, she tasted a piece with great anticipation.
My eyes light up immediately!
It turns out that she also has the potential to become a great chef!
I must be nicer to Shanshan in the future!
Then she cooked some vegetables, made an egg drop soup, sprinkled it with chopped green onions and served it on the table.
"Zhang Yan, your cooking skills are quite good!" Wu De looked at the shiny braised pork on the table. The aroma it emanated made him salivate.
"It's okay. Teacher Wu will try it and see if it suits your taste. I will adjust it according to your taste." Zhang Yan looked at Wu De modestly.
"Okay!" Wu De couldn't wait to sit down, picked up a piece of braised pork and tasted it, "It's very good, but it tastes a little sweet. Don't make it so sweet next time!"
Zhang Yan nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I'll remember it!"
"I want to eat braised fish tomorrow, so remember to cook fish tomorrow night!" Wu De told the menu for tomorrow night.
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Okay, I understand."
After Zhang Yan finished her meal and cleaned up the kitchen, she pestered Shan Shan to ask her how to make braised fish.
"Is it braised fish fillets or a whole braised fish?" Shanshan didn't know what Zhang Yan wanted specifically, so she asked.
Is there any difference in braised fish?
Zhang Yan quickly grabbed the paper and pen in her hand, "Why don't you tell me everything!"
In this way, the first thing Zhang Yan did when she came back every night was to ask Zhang Yan for the menu. Today it was four-happiness meatballs, tomorrow it was roasted chicken with potatoes, and the day after tomorrow it was braised beef.
This made the whole dormitory feel very strange. "Zhang Yan, what's wrong with you recently? I haven't seen you eat in the cafeteria, but every day you ask how to cook so many dishes. How do you know the names of so many dishes?"
"I go to the cafeteria late every day. You see, when I ask Shanshan the name of the dishes every day, you have already eaten and are in the dormitory?" Zhang Yan rolled her eyes and found an excuse for herself.
“As for so many dish names, I haven’t eaten many of them. I only heard about them after eating in the cafeteria.” Zhang Yan put the blame for the dish names on the people who ate in the cafeteria.
"If you ask every day, the recipes you have accumulated must be very thick!" The roommate looked at the densely recorded recipe book in Zhang Yan's hand.
"Yes, there are quite a few!" Zhang Yan looked at the recipe as if it were a treasure.
How can I not be like a baby?
Because of these recipes, Wu De felt comfortable enough to give her the money for the groceries and let her go buy them herself!
She deducted a lot of money from the food money!
My wallet has gotten a lot fatter recently!
"So what dish are you going to cook for your parents?" Shanshan has been a little annoyed by Zhang Yan's pestering lately.
It’s not that her recipes cannot be shared, because the same recipe in the hands of different people will always taste different due to different control of the heat and the use of spices.
But it was Zhang Yan who pestered her every day and asked very detailed questions every time, which left her with less time to study.
Sometimes, in order to avoid her asking about the recipe, she would go to evening self-study.
But when she came back, Zhang Yan looked at her as if she had seen her savior, which made her feel embarrassed to refuse, which affected her washing and she could only turn off the lights and go to bed in a hurry.
This has seriously affected her life!
And according to the recipes she has recorded in recent days, when she goes home during the holidays, she can’t finish cooking a big dish every day.
Besides, isn't her family from the countryside?
The conditions are not good, and it costs a lot of money just to buy the ingredients to cook these dishes!
Would her parents be willing to spend all the money they had saved on her just for a bite to eat?
Zhang Yan didn't know how to answer Shanshan's question.
At first, she asked for the recipe under the pretext of being filial to her parents.
But looking at the recorded recipe in her hand, her "filial piety" is a bit too much!
I could only laugh it off, "Shanshan, I don't know what dish I'll cook when I get home. I think my family might be short of this or that, so I just want to be prepared. I ask for more recipes, just in case. I'll cook whatever ingredients are available at home."
"You have quite a few recipes in your hand, which should cover all the ingredients available in your home," Shanshan didn't want to bring herself endless troubles because of a momentary weakness, so she refused Zhang Yan now, "So you should have nothing else to ask next!"
"How is that possible!" Zhang Yan asked without hesitation, "There are so many delicious foods in the world, how can I ask this?"
And what she wants to ask depends on what Wu De wants to eat!
She has no say in the matter!
Seeing that Zhang Yan was not getting the hang of it, Shan Shan's face turned cold, "Are you here to learn from me?"
