Chapter 172 Hibiscus Emerges From Clear Water! Simply Beautiful! Use the Cooking Study Cards! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】

Xie Baomin carefully poured the minced chicken from the spoon into the pot.

While pouring, move the spoon slowly so that the minced chicken becomes long strips.

Once you pour it in, don't worry about it.

When the surface is set, the chicken pieces will slowly float from the bottom of the pot.

"Warm frying can maximize the tenderness of the chicken slices, and it can also keep the chicken slices white and tender, without dehydration and discoloration."

Although it was to open Qiu Zhenhua's eyes.

But since his junior brother is here, Xie Baomin still needs to explain the essentials.

In case the junior brother can't understand it after looking at it for a long time, then today's troubles will be in vain.

Qiu Zhenhua on the side added:

"Although warm-frying is not a conventional cooking method, it is used in many places. For example, yuba can be deep-fried before soaking. This will give it a better texture and more fragrant flavor."

When talking about yuba, Lin Xu immediately thought of the minced pork yuba that Cheng Jianshe made two days ago.

It tastes really good. I will try it again when I have the chance.

Well, although there is no relevant technique.

But it must be done.

And it’s very simple to trigger related skills.

Just induce your baby Shen to say he wants to eat.

Just in time to test the actual effect of the wool harvesting system.

After Xie Baomin filled the bottom of the pot with minced chicken, he stopped and slowly waited for it to form into several pieces.

It didn't take long.

The minced chicken that was put into the pot first floated up.

I didn't feel anything when I put it into the pot, but now that it's formed, it looks snow-white, like a cloud rising and falling in the oil.

"So beautiful!"

Lin Xu couldn't help but admire.

I never thought that ordinary chicken could be cooked to such a high level.

Not long after, the other pieces in the pot had taken shape and started to float.

Qiu Zhenhua asked:

"Lao Xie, is it time to fish out now?"

He learned how to cook hibiscus chicken slices.

I think it should be ready by now.

But Xie Baomin shook his head gently:

"If you are making Furong Chicken Slices, it should indeed be out of the pan now, but the Water Furong requires these chicken slices to stand up in the tableware, so it has to be fried for a while."

stand up?

Lin Xu looked at the chicken slices, which were as soft as lactone tofu.

I find this dish more and more magical.

It's so soft and tender. If you want to stand up, you'd need half a box of toothpicks to hold it up, right?

He wanted to ask.

But then I thought, since it is the master's original dish, and it was created to please the first master's wife, I would definitely not choose such a clumsy method of supporting it with toothpicks.

Well, keep reading.

Let’s see how the first mistress was seduced by the master.

After another explosion.

When he felt that the chicken slices were no longer so tender, Xie Baomin brought a pot of hot water, then carefully took out the chicken slices from the pot with a slotted spoon, and put them directly into the hot water.

As soon as I put it in, oily flowers appeared on the surface of the hot water.

Lin Xu understood it all at once.

No wonder the senior brother is not afraid that lard will make the dishes greasy. It turns out there is a step to remove the oil.

With such soaking, even the greasy oil will be soaked out.

Soon, Xie Baomin poured another pot into the pot.

After everything is fried.

He took out the chicken slices soaked in hot water, drained the water slightly, put it in a bamboo basket, and then said:

"Then it's time to test your knife skills. Junior brother, please be careful. This dish cannot be cooked often."

After speaking, he carefully lifted a piece of chicken and placed it on the chopping board. He first cut off the excess part so that the chicken piece had a flush edge.

Then use the tip of the knife to draw a somewhat arced curve along the edge, and when it reaches the other end, it reaches the middle part.

This is……

When Lin Xuzheng was wondering.

I saw my senior brother also marked the other side like this.

Take away the crossed-out chicken slices, and the snow-white chicken slices will look like petals.

"Thank you for your good knife skills."

Although Su cuisine pays attention to knife skills and shapes, Qiu Zhenhua couldn't help but admire Xie Baomin's craftsmanship.

This kind of soft and tender fried chicken is not easy to cut.

Especially the curved edges.

If you are not careful, you will bring a whole piece down.

Unexpectedly, Xie Baomin seemed to be at ease, and even his breathing was still steady.

This is the difference.

While Qiu Zhenhua was sighing, Xie Baomin continued to cut the petals with his knife.

These petals are not all the same size, but become smaller and smaller, and the length of the petals seems to be getting shorter.

Um?

Are there any new changes?

After the fifteen petals were ready, Xie Baomin cut some long strips with a kitchen knife.

After processing all the chicken pieces.

He brought a ceramic cup with a large mouth and a small bottom and placed it next to the chopping board.

Then he took the largest petal and carefully put it in, but did not put it all the way, but left a third of it outside, and bent the tail against the mouth of the cup to hang outside the cup.

Then put the other petal into the cup in the same way, still leaving one third outside.

After putting the five largest petals in, they were arranged in a circle in the cup.

Then Xie Baomin began to put smaller petals.

When placing, place it against the gap between the outermost petals, and also reserve some outside.

In this way, three layers of petals have been placed, and there is only a little gap in the middle of the entire water glass.

"I understand. You are using a bowl-like method to place the entire flower in the pot. The extra third can be used as a support for the flower. Isn't that right, Lao Xie?"

Qiu Zhenhua rubbed his hands excitedly.

This technique is too awesome.

Who would have thought of arranging these soft chicken slices into shapes using a bowl?

Mr. Gao is really awesome!

No wonder I can suppress my uncle and the others for the rest of my life.

I can't help but admire this imagination.

Xie Baomin smiled, picked up a chopstick and said:

"He is indeed an opponent who can meet me in the semi-finals. I figured it out so quickly."

Qiu Zhenhua: "..."

Why did Mr. Gao, who was such a great cook, accept such a bastard apprentice?

If you mention the semi-finals again, I'm worried about you!

Xie Baomin did not continue to put the chicken slices into the cup, but put his chopsticks in and gently pushed the petals to the side, widening the gap in the middle of the cup.

Then he picked up the long cut strips and slowly stuffed them inside.

This time there was less stuffing, leaving only half of it outside.

After stuffing, put the chopsticks in again, squeeze gently on both sides, and then continue stuffing.

Wait until there is really no gap.

He brought a small white soup basin and placed it on the cup.

Then quickly flip over.

The cup was placed upside down in the middle of the white porcelain basin.

He gently lifted the porcelain cup, and a white flower flower appeared in the cup.

Lin Xu was shocked:

"What's next? Is it like boiling cabbage for soup?"

Xie Baomin shook his head:

"That won't work. It took a lot of effort to stand up, but it fell apart as soon as it was poured."

He took a piece of cotton thread, wrapped it around half of the flower bone, and then pulled gently.

Lin Xu looked confused:

"What are you doing?"

Qiu Zhenhua guessed:

"The part where the petals should bloom should be squeezed with cotton thread. The petals will bend down more easily."

Xie Baomin looked over in surprise:

"Let me go, you are awesome, Qiu Qiu, you can even see this, so I always thought that your cooking skills should be better than Mr. Zhongguo, what do you think?"

Qiu Zhenhua didn't want to pay attention to him. He just wanted to grab the kitchen knife on the chopping board and give him a few blows.

Are you still addicted to shit?

Lin Xu on the side couldn't help but complain in his heart.

When he is in front of others, he calls him Dongdong, but behind his back he calls him his nickname, and the nickname Mr. Zhongguo is most likely given by his senior brother.

Tsk tsk tsk, is it really appropriate for you to be such a scumbag, senior brother?

Throwing the cotton thread aside, Xie Baomin brought over the clear soup he had made earlier.

First, he took out the minced meat hanging with a rope and put it aside. Then he reheated the soup pot.

But it didn't boil.

It heated to about 70 degrees and then stopped.

He carefully poured the clear soup, which was as clear as boiling water, into the pot. Then he held the pot and said to Lin Xu, Qin Wei and Qiu Zhenhua:

"Hurry up if you want to shoot a short video, the exciting moment of this dish is coming soon!"

"Don't tell me, I'm really going to take a photo."

Qiu Zhenhua took out his mobile phone.

Qin Wei also obediently took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera, and pointed the camera at the white porcelain basin on the table.

Only Lin Xu didn't move.

Although he also wanted to take pictures, activating the cooking learning card was more important.

Well, such a great learning opportunity.

Plus, with two perfect cooking learning cards in hand, I have to learn this dish no matter what.

"Junior brother, you don't want to take the photo?"

Lin Xu pretended to be cool:

“I plan to learn how to cook this dish and film myself making it.”

"You are confident enough, junior brother. This is not white jade lotus root silk. You may not be able to learn it after watching it once."

When he finished speaking, Xie Baomin held the pot in his hand, pointed the spout to the edge of the porcelain basin, and gently poured water into the basin.

The clear soup slowly flows from the kettle into the basin, as if it is pouring warm boiled water.

But the rich aroma indicates that this clear soup is not simple.

The water poured slowly.

The water level in the porcelain basin is gradually increasing.

“Use the cooking study cards!”

Lin Xu muttered silently in his heart.

The system prompts soon sounded in my mind.

"Learning object: Xie Baomin. Current skill is: pouring water. Do you want to learn it?"

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ?

System, are you kidding me?

He tried again.

Still a pouring skill.

Wow!

I wish I had learned the clear soup technique or the hibiscus chicken slices from before.

Which of these two skills should be learned, which one is better than the pouring skill, right?

You have made the mistake of being dogmatic!

The water level in the basin slowly rose.

When it was level with the strangulation mark of the cotton thread, Xie Baomin stopped.

Lin Xu tried again.

"Learning object: Xie Baomin. Current skill is: Putting the teapot. Do you want to learn it?"

I'll learn from you, you big-headed idiot!

Why is the system so naughty today?

Lin Xu felt a little crazy.

At this time, Qiu Zhenhua asked curiously:

"What's going on, Lao Xie? That's it?"

Qin Wei also quietly paused the recorded video.

It took me a long time to shoot a shot of pouring water. What’s so good about this?

Xie Baomin smiled.

Just tap it lightly on the edge of the basin.

The flower bud in the middle of the pot swayed slightly, and then the petal at the edge gently opened and fell to the water.

As this petal falls, other petals slowly bloom one after another.

The first layer of petals dropped to the water.

The second layer of petals hung down halfway, and then the roots were held up by the first layer of petals, and only the tips of the petals hung down.

The third layer of petals is against the second layer and hangs down even lower.

After three layers of petals hang down.

The strip-shaped stamens inside are faintly visible.

With the clear soup base and white porcelain basin, everyone around was stunned.

"Damn it! What a hibiscus out of clear water! Your master is really like a god."

Qiu Zhenhua stuttered a little.

I never expected that a dish could be so beautiful.

While Lin Xu was sighing at the beauty of this dish, he suddenly had an idea.

“Use the cooking study cards!”

The system prompt sounded soon:

"The learning target is Xie Baomin. The current skill is: Qingshui Furong. Do you want to learn it?"

Ha ha!

The bet was right!

Such a beautiful dish, you have to learn everything!

"study!"

"The host consumed a perfect cooking learning card and obtained Master Gao Peisheng's original dish - Clear Water Hibiscus. Congratulations to the host."
