Chapter 106 The Charm of Pepper
Chapter 106 The Charm of Chili Peppers
Mei Huanzhang's injuries have completely healed, and the poison in his body has been eliminated. Xiao Yilin has also fully recovered. So Jingyi is going to use chili peppers to make some spicy dishes today to let everyone appreciate the charm of chili peppers.
Jingyi planted a lot of small peppers, and because of a little use of the wood power, the small peppers were already red. Jingyi tasted them spicy enough.
Jing Yi always felt that her powers were somewhat mutated, so she experimented with peppers in order to study her powers.
In the spring, she went to the mountains with pepper seeds, used wood-type powers to cross the peppers with other plants, and then actually developed a variety that was different from the small peppers. This variety produced larger fruits, so
It's like the big pepper. Although it's not as spicy as the small pepper, it tastes very good.
Jingyi used her powers to spawn some seedlings and brought them home and planted them in the third courtyard of the new courtyard. They are growing very well now. So Jingyi is going to use two kinds of peppers to make a few dishes for everyone to try today.
taste.
Jing Yi said last time that she would make pickled fish for Lin Xiuhan, but she never fulfilled it. This time there was black fish again, so she had to cook the pickled fish well.
Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to clean up the black fish scraper. Then she personally cut the black fish meat into medium-sized and thick fish fillets, cut the fish steaks into sections, and then added pepper, egg white, and white wine to the fish fillets, fish heads, and fish steaks respectively.
, salt and sugar, mix well and marinate for a quarter of an hour.
The sauerkraut at home is pickled by Jingyi herself, and she has eaten it many times. It is very good. Jingyi squeezes out the water from the sauerkraut and cuts it into shreds. There are also various mushrooms collected from the mountains at home, and Jingyi also eats them.
Cut some.
Cut the green onions, slice the ginger, and mince the garlic prepared in advance. Heat the pot, pour in an appropriate amount of oil, add the green onions, ginger slices, minced garlic, and bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the chopped pickled cabbage and stir-fry evenly. In the pot
Pour in enough boiling water. After the water boils, add the fish heads and fish fillets, cook for about a quarter of an hour, and then add the cut mushrooms.
Then put the marinated fish fillets into the pot one by one, scatter them with chopsticks after adding them, cook until all the fish fillets change color, add a little salt and pepper, stir evenly and serve.
Jingyi added some oil to the pot, then added Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, etc., fried some chili oil, and poured the fried chili oil directly on the pickled fish. This way, the aroma was more overbearing, and the whole yard was filled with the smell of chili oil.
.
Finally, sprinkle some coriander on top of the pickled fish poured with chili oil to complete the dish.
The pickled fish Jingyi is served in a small white round porcelain basin. The golden soup contains tender white fish fillets, yellow-green shredded pickled cabbage, and white and brown fungi. It is also mixed with red,
Green crushed peppers, with a pinch of emerald green coriander on top. Just looking at it makes it very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Coupled with this overbearing fragrance, people's appetite is whetted even before they taste the taste.
It was the first time for Qiao Yan to see her son cooking this pickled fish dish, and it was also the first time for her to see chili peppers used in cooking.
Qiao Yan swallowed her saliva and said, "Sir, I didn't expect this chili to be so fragrant after being fried. This pickled fish looks delicious."
Qiao Hong, who was sitting in front of the stove to help light the fire, was so greedy at the aroma that he swallowed his saliva.
Jing Yi smiled and said, "Didn't I give out several portions? You can also have one. You can have a taste later."
Jing Yi was afraid that others wouldn't be able to adapt to the taste of the chili for the first time, so she didn't put in much chili and the taste wasn't very spicy.
Qiao Yan knew how to make fish balls, so Jing Yi asked Qiao Yan to make this dish. However, no one else had ever made eel, so Jing Yi made braised eel by herself. There were also garlic pork ribs and a dessert that Jing Yi also made by herself.
.
Jing Yi and Qiao Yan cooked a large table of dishes together.
Jingyi, who had a lot of ingredients for some dishes, cooked more and distributed them to the guards who came with Xiao Yilin. Jingyi was afraid that they would not have enough to eat, so he asked Qiao Yan to cook some more dishes for them.
The food was placed in the main hall, and Mei Huanzhang and Jing Yi were accompanying them. This was not the first time that Lin Xiuhan and Xiao Yilin had dinner at the same table. Besides, there weren't that many rules in Jingyi's house. Lin Xiuhan and Xiao Yilin were all welcome.
The Lord is satisfied.
Except for Jing Yi, the other three people looked at several unfamiliar dishes on the table and waited for Jing Yi to introduce them.
Jing Yi smiled and said: "I prepared enough ingredients today and bought some river fresh food from the villagers, so I made a few new dishes today."
Jing Yi pointed at the pickled fish and said: "This is pickled fish. It is made from black fish fillets, supplemented with pickled cabbage, mushrooms, peppers and other ingredients. Brother Xiao, you brought this pepper to me last year. I will give it to you this year."
I planted some and they are ready to eat now.”
Xiao Yilin didn't expect that the little girl he brought had already planted the seeds and could still eat them. "Then I have to have a good taste."
Xiao Yilin has the highest status here, and everyone is waiting for him to use chopsticks.
Xiao Yilin picked up a piece of tender white fish meat and put it into his mouth. The fish meat had no thorns at all. It was fresh and tender and had no fishy smell. It also had a sour and more exciting taste. He knew that this was what the little girl was talking about.
The taste of chili.
The fish meat is soaked in the soup, and the umami taste of the fish is mixed with various flavors such as sourness and spiciness to form a unique flavor, which is very enjoyable to eat.
Xiao Yilin looked at Jing Yi with shining eyes, "Jing Yan, this dish you created is really delicious."
Jing Yi said: "Try the sauerkraut and mushrooms in the soup again. Uncle, Brother Lin, you guys should try it too."
Xiao Yilin was afraid that everyone would be constrained because of his identity and said, "Don't be constrained, everyone. We don't have to worry about so many rules here in Jingyan, just feel free to do it."
Xiao Yilin then ate shredded pickled cabbage and mushrooms. Because the shredded pickled cabbage had been cooked in the soup, and combined with the flavor of fish and pepper, it was sour and fragrant, and the mushrooms were also delicious. This dish was really delicious to the extreme.
Xiao Yilin thought that if this dish could be brought to the restaurant, the restaurant's business would be even more prosperous.
Mei Huanzhang and Lin Xiuhan also tasted the pickled fish, and Lin Xiuhan gave it a thumbs up, "Jing Yan, this dish is really amazing. I didn't expect this pepper to be so unique, it's really amazing."
Jingyi gave his uncle a piece of braised eel with chopsticks, "Uncle, please try this braised eel. It is made from eel. The meat, blood, head and skin of eel have medicinal value. It can nourish blood."
, nourishing qi, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, removing rheumatism and other effects. Eel meat is sweet and warm in nature, has the effect of nourishing the body and blood, and treating deficiency. It is very nourishing to the body, so you should eat more.
Brother Xiao, you should also eat more, this is a rare good thing."
Mei Huanzhang smiled and said: "I have only lived here for a short time, and I have gained a lot of weight now. It seems that I will have to control my food intake in the future. I don't want to become a fat man when I get older."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Lin Xiuhan said: "Mr. Mei is right, the food cooked by Jing Yan makes people want to stop eating. After eating, they want to eat more, and they eat too much without knowing it."
