Nongmen Space: After saving the villain, I was blamed

Chapter 42 Sugar Chestnuts

The chestnut roast chicken that Yu Qingning cooked at noon perfectly combined the tenderness of pheasant chicken with the softness and sweetness of chestnuts.

With tender green cabbage and golden eggs boiled into soup, Yu Wenzhou and the others ate another full lunch.

Of course, the greedy people around were drooling, envious of how Yu Wenzhou's family had such a baby girl who could cook.

But their envy is envy, and they don't have much jealousy.

After returning home, Yu Qingning put the remaining chestnuts into a basin, added water, and washed the fine hairs on the surface.

Then wiped the chestnuts clean with a cloth, Yu Qingning picked up a sharp knife, and quickly made a shallow cross cut on it.

Then she soaked the chestnuts again for a quarter of an hour, washed them, and wiped off all the water stained on the chestnuts with a cloth.

Next, Yu Qingning took every step steadily, calmly, but very seriously.

Put the chestnuts, add a spoonful of oil, a spoonful of sugar, and then add water to cover the chestnuts.

When the water in the pot dries up, the sweet and soft smell of candied chestnuts soon permeates the room.

When Yu Qingning opened the pot, she saw the plump chestnuts one by one, and opened her mouth with a smile, revealing the tender meat inside one by one.

The chestnuts have been simmered and have turned dark brown, and the collision of syrup and oil with the chestnuts has given the chestnuts a shiny luster.

Regardless of the hotness of the freshly cooked candied chestnuts, Yu Qingning hurriedly picked up a candied chestnut.

The hot chestnut is held in the palm of the hand, because the white sugar has turned into syrup and wrapped on the grinning chestnut, the chestnut is placed in the palm of the hand, and it is still a little sticky, exuding the aroma that is unique to sweets, straight to people It jumped out of his nose, making people move their index fingers and drool.

Following the cross-shaped knife that was cut open before, Yu Qingning moved her fingers lightly, and with a little force, the chestnut was easily peeled off, revealing the brown chestnut flesh inside.

Yu Qingning swallowed a chestnut in one gulp. The fleshy chestnuts are sweet and soft, and the taste is not too good.

Chestnuts are not very sweet, which is in line with Yu Qingning's preference for sweets.

Yu Qingning peeled the shells of several chestnuts one after another, and ate the chestnut meat.

She feels that the more you eat the candied chestnuts, the more fragrant they become. Although they are stewed and not fried with quartz sand, the taste is also very good.

Yu Qingning did a lot. She filled the chestnuts and added an extra layer of cloth to keep them warm.

There were still a lot of chestnuts left in the basket, and in line with the principle of making the best use of everything, Yu Qingning made chestnut paste and chestnut puree.

Yu Qingning took out another basin, put in flour, and finally made a thick batter.

Yu Qingning will use a spoon to scoop out a small spoonful of batter, spread it out evenly, and after a while it will become a thin crust in the pot.

Repeating like this, it didn't take long for her to spread out a thick stack of pie crusts.

This is the crust she makes for the chestnut mille-feuille cake. The thin layer of crust has both soft and glutinous texture, and also has a light noodle fragrance.

She took out a piece of cake, spread it neatly, and then spread a thick layer of prepared chestnut puree on top.

The brownish-yellow chestnut puree is covered with a white crust, and this color looks very joyful.

Repeating this step, she put on another cake and spread it with chestnut puree.

Just repeating this seven or eight times, a seven or eight layer chestnut layer is ready.

Yu Qingning put the chestnuts in the same way and covered them with a cover.

Estimating that the time was up, she began to prepare for dinner.

I finally made roast chicken with chestnuts, which won unanimous praise from the family.

In the evening, Yu Qingning also cooked this dish.

In addition, I also made pot-packed meat, sweet and sour fish, and vinegar-simmered cabbage.

The tastes of their family are relatively uniform. They like sweet and sour tastes, spicy and sweet tastes, and of course, they prefer heavy tastes.

It seems that except for that Shizi Shu who has a milder taste, his taste is almost fading out. However, one of his best advantages is that he is not picky about food.

No matter what she did, he would be very supportive.

When they came back in the evening, Yu Qingning's sweet and sour dishes were greatly appreciated.

Yu Qingning naturally felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of her heart.

As a cook, the most satisfying thing is to see that the things you cook are liked by others.

the next day.

After breakfast early in the morning, Yu Qingning went to the town again.

This is the third day of the restaurant's opening, and the business is still as good as the first day. The lobby on the first floor is full of people.

Yu Qingning thought that the people in the Fortune Restaurant would wait for the opportunity to make trouble, but now it seems that the people in the Fortune Restaurant may not have found the opportunity, otherwise they will definitely cheat Tianxianglou.

Yu Qingning was still dressed in men's clothes and walked into Tianxiang Building through the back door.

When she passed the kitchen at the back, she saw a scene that surprised her. Yu Qingning was shocked, but she didn't make a sound, and just watched the whole thing quietly.

Her face darkened, her complexion was as cold as frost, and her whole body was covered with cold air, which was colder than the cold winter days.

She never imagined that in her restaurant, there would be people eating inside and out.

It seems that she is too kind to people, causing these people to mistake her for a good-tempered person.

She didn't say anything, but quietly went to the private room on the second floor.

"Miss Yu", when Shu Ting heard the news of her coming, he knocked on the door and pushed in.

"Miss Yu, why don't you go out? What's the matter?" Shu Ting asked blankly with a puzzled face.

Yu Qingning shook her head, said with a light smile, "It's okay, Shopkeeper Shu, how is the business of the restaurant these two days?"

Mentioning this, Shu Ting's face was full of excitement, and his tone was full of excitement: "Business is very good, Miss Yu, thanks to the dishes you taught the chefs, oh, and that lo mei, which is especially popular recently, more than half At the beginning, the guests came here for the aroma of the lo mei, but after tasting other dishes in our restaurant, they fell in love with other dishes.”

"In the past few days, the lobby on the first floor is full of customers every day, and there are still several waves of customers." Shu Ting excitedly reported to her the operating status of the restaurant in the past three days, with unprecedented expectations in his eyes.

Yu Qingning understood that this situation was similar to what she expected.

But it was also because of this that Yu Qingning understood what she saw at the kitchen door just now.

"Master Shu," Yu Qingning paused, then lowered her voice, approached his ear, and gave him some instructions.

After listening to her words, anger appeared on Shu Ting's resolute face, and his eyes widened slightly, showing an unbelievable look.

He nodded slightly, and then walked out of the private room.

After a while, there was an accident in the lobby downstairs, there was a loud noise, and there seemed to be trouble-making words in the speech.

The sound was loud and disturbing.

But in the private room, the corners of Yu Qingning's mouth were slightly curled up, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she was in a very good mood.

In her eyes, a sharp light flashed, unstoppable.
