There are few people in the lunch market, Ronaldinho, and they are not too close to each other. They keep a safe distance that can react no matter what happens.
Chen Song looked hard to taste, and it was not as clean as the supermarket. He asked, "What shall we buy?"
Tong Yihuai took out his own label paper to remember things, which said that he needed main materials and auxiliary materials.
He learned that dish called stewed chicken, which can be regarded as the main ingredient of a medicinal diet. Of course, it is a whole chicken, preferably a farmer’s free-range chicken. Tong Yihuai hopes it is the freshest turkey.
Auxiliary materials include Radix Astragali, Fructus Jujubae, Longan, Lentinus edodes, Fructus Lycii and ginger slices, all of which are dry except ginger slices which need to be fresh.
Tong Yihuai said, "Go to the dry goods store first."
Red dates, longan, mushrooms and medlar can be bought in dry goods stores. Neither of them can pick them, so they choose some to look good and buy some, while medlar directly buys a package. Anyway, even if this kind of thing is not finished this time, you can come to soak in water to drink.
Walking out of the dry goods store, Chen Song also looked at the post-it note and said, "Astragalus is a Chinese herbal medicine and needs to be bought in a Chinese medicine store."
Tong Yihuai nodded and said, "Well, let’s buy ginger first. There should be live chickens in the seasonal vegetable market, right?"
Chen Song said hesitantly, "Will there be live chickens in the vegetable market? Should I go to a chicken farm? "
Tong Yihuai nodded and said, "There must be a nanny who bought live chickens from the vegetable market before."
Chen Song didn’t know much about it either, and he believed it when he said this.
However, they quickly bought ginger and visited the whole vegetable market, but they didn’t find live chickens to sell. The whole chicken was sold.
It’s getting late, so I can’t help it. Tong Yihuai gave up the live chicken to pick the whole chicken that looks beautiful. When the stall owner weighed it, he asked doubtfully, "I didn’t see any live chickens sold in the vegetable market."
At first glance, the stall owner knew that neither Tong Yihuai nor Chen Song often came to the vegetable market to smell the news, and he was not surprised to say with a smile, "You can’t sell live chickens in the stalls in the vegetable market. You know, it’s the kind of farmer who brought his own chickens to buy them outside the vegetable market in the early morning. Of course, there can’t be now."
When Tong Yihuai heard this, he suddenly realized, and then asked, "Do you sell chickens by farmers?"
The stall owner said, "If you had come earlier, it would have been true, but now all that’s left is in chicken farms and cages. Now people like to eat farm chickens. They have been sold out long ago, little brother. I don’t think you often buy food. To be honest with you, you have to come earlier if you want anything good."
Tong Yihuai paid the money, thanked him politely, then left the vegetable market and went to the drugstore to buy Astragalus membranaceus before returning to the apartment.
Of course, we can’t just eat children’s food for dinner, and we don’t know if we can eat chicken. Ronaldinho also bought other ingredients, but it’s not children’s food. They just care about their own chickens
It’s still early for dinner. They put the ingredients in the kitchen, took some astragalus, red dates, longan and mushrooms out, and went to a glass bowl to pour these auxiliary materials together for soaking.
Tong Yihuai explained that "it takes two hours to soak first"
Chen Song watched him move and shook his hand when he was about to pour the longan. "I don’t mind soaking in water, but should I peel the longan first?"
Tong Yihuai paused and hesitated. "There is nothing in the recipe to shell."
Chen Song insisted on his opinion, "But longan shells can’t be eaten, so it’s impossible to cook them together, right?" So even the shell can’t soak the meat inside? Anyway, I think my parents live in longan to shell. "
Tong Yihuai didn’t cook, but the longan did seem to have no shell, so Xin nodded, "You’re right, shell it first."
Together, they carefully peeled the longan shell with film gloves, then put four kinds of auxiliary materials into a glass bowl to soak in water, and set an alarm clock on the mobile phone, put other dry goods in the kitchen basket, stuffed the chicken into the refrigerator, and then left the kitchen to wait for two hours before stewing the chicken.
During these two hours, the two people stayed in the room to watch and discuss with each other, which was very harmonious.
This makes Ronaldinho feel very sorry for them. I don’t know if they really can’t see that they are in love. It seems that ordinary people don’t fall in love like this, but it seems to be good.
Two hours later, Tong Yihuai went to the kitchen with Chen Song to take the chicken out of the refrigerator and wash it, and then stuffed all the soaked auxiliary materials into the chicken’s stomach, which was cleaned before they bought it.
Then Tong Yihuai stuffed the chicken into the stew pot and added water to the pot. "How much water should I add? It’s not in the recipe. "
It’s easy for him to stew chicken, but now it seems that the recipe is too unclear
Chen Song said, "Don’t pass the chicken, right?"
Tong Yihuai decided to listen to Chen Song’s advice. After adding water, he picked up cooking wine. "How much is 1 gram for cooking wine?" Maybe we should buy a measuring cylinder? "
Chen Song took out a bowl. "You just pour some into the bowl, and the bottom of the bowl is almost full of layers. You have to measure a pot to make a meal. Are you doing experiments? That way, the meal is soulless."
Tong Yihuai has reservations about this statement, but after supporting Chen Song’s idea, he poured some cooking wine into the bowl and then Chen Song poured the cooking wine into the pot.
Finally, it was ginger. Tong Yihuai washed it with ginger and said hesitantly, "Do you want to peel the ginger?"
He doesn’t eat ginger, which means he doesn’t eat ginger directly, but he can accept ginger auxiliary materials. However, because he doesn’t eat, he has never carefully observed whether former chefs and domestic aunts peel ginger when cooking.
Chen Song wasn’t sure, either. "There seems to be a little dirty with so much ginger skin, so it’s better to remove the skin and clean it up."
Tong Yihuai nodded and thought it made sense. Then the question came, "How to peel ginger?"
Chen Song hesitated. "For example, just cut off a small piece of the outside face?"
Tong Yihuai nodded again "Good idea"
After peeling the ginger and slicing it into the pot, Tong Yihuai put the whole pot in a gas stove and turned on a big fire. "The big fire boiled and then turned to a small fire and simmered for an hour and a half."
The two men stared at the water in the pot and waited until it boiled before ordering an alarm clock for their mobile phone.
Because the kitchen was on fire, they didn’t go to the room this time, but took them to the restaurant next to the kitchen. While watching, they separated some minds and paid attention to the kitchen. It can be seen that they were very concerned about their first cooking results.
An hour and a half later, they added Lycium barbarum to the pot and then added salt.
However, this recipe still doesn’t say how much salt to add, which is a big difficulty for the two novices. None of them noticed that they could turn to Ronaldinho for help.
After adding salt, continue to simmer for half an hour and the chicken will be ready.
Whether it’s delicious or not, it’s not bad to look clean and clean
Tong Yihuai carefully put the chicken into a beautiful white porcelain bowl. The whole chicken was lying in the bowl for nothing. The light yellow broth was floating with light oil flowers. Some red medlar was floating on the water. It looked very beautiful and smelled good.
Looking at his first official cooking achievement, Tong Yihuai felt very satisfied and had to say to Chen Song, "How’s it going? I said this dish is very simple, right? "
Chen Song gave him an oblique look and said, "It’s quite simple, but haven’t you encountered many problems?" Don’t forget to add salt or Ronaldinho. "
Tong yihuai said casually, "it was the first time that I didn’t have the experience to cook a few more times and I knew how much seasoning to add. Let’s try the soup first."
