Chapter 139 I want to treat you to a meal
When it comes to making soup, people from Lingnan can be said to be in the leading position nationwide.

If you have any objections, please see the gout and uric acid rankings of each province.

Generally speaking, soups are divided into boiling soup, clear soup and long-cooked soup. The cooking methods include steaming, boiling, stewing and boiling. Different ingredients and different functions require completely different cooking methods.

It doesn’t matter what kind of pot you use, and the casserole is not necessarily a finished product. The key lies in the ingredients and the heat.

For example,
Chen Jingle is now going to make a pot of chicken soup that can replenish qi and blood, and he wants to put a whole chicken in it, so it is suitable to be cooked by the "boiling" method.

Put the water in the pot to cover the chicken and cook it for at least an hour and a half.

If there is not enough time, the flavor of the meat cannot be stewed out and it will taste at most a little better than bath water, but it cannot be called a delicious soup.

There must be enough water.

Otherwise, there may be too little soup in the middle and you will need to add water.

Adding water a second time can easily destroy the taste of the original soup.

Put the whole chicken in cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium-low heat.

Clean the fresh free-range chicken, there won’t be too much foam to skim off, and after the water boils, you can add the Beiqi first.

Because other herbs will become bitter or change color if they are boiled for too long, you can add them a little later, especially red dates and codonopsis.

When it’s almost done, find a suitable time to put in the remaining ingredients.

If you want it to be as clear and tasty as in restaurants, you have to steam it.

Otherwise, after the water boils, the meat foam will make the soup base turbid during the boiling process.

There is a way to make cloudy soup clear.

Just as I said before, use chicken puree to sweep the soup.

Chen Jingle prepared a small piece of chicken breast, which he would use to mince and make the soup later.

……

"What's for dinner?"

When the time came, Chen Qiyun rushed into the kitchen as if she had a dog nose detector.

"Chicken soup." Chen Jingle moved a stool and sat at the kitchen door, so that he could play with his phone while keeping an eye on the fire.

"anything else?"

"Gone."

Chen Qiyun frowned: "Just chicken soup?"

I thought there was going to be some big meal.

Even if it’s not a big meal, it’s at least similar to the big plate of chicken we had at noon.

Chen Jingle glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to eat, you don't have to."

Chen Qiyun snorted: "Just eat it!"

Not only eat, but eat a lot!

Although she doesn't like soup very much, the soup cooked by Chen Jingle is an exception. The last time she cooked the five-fingered peach stewed chicken soup, it was very delicious and left a lasting aftertaste.

I'm sure the dish this time won't be bad.

After sending Chen Qiyun to watch a bilingual travel video, Chen Jingle washed a handful of cauliflower.

In fact, there is also a Chinese cabbage soup to make, but the chicken soup is not ready yet, so I have no idea where to start making the Chinese cabbage soup.

An hour and a half passed quickly as I scrolled through my phone.

Without even opening the lid of the casserole, the kitchen is already filled with the aroma of chicken soup. The flavors of the chicken and other ingredients such as Codonopsis and Astragalus are perfectly blended in the chicken soup.

At this time, pour the minced chicken in and start sweeping the soup.

After the soup is swept, add some salt to adjust the taste, and you will have a perfect pot of high-end chicken soup.

Scoop out two spoonfuls to make a light and delicious Chinese cabbage soup, then chop the whole chicken and serve it on a plate.

Dinner is done!

The rice cooked tonight was a little less because there was a whole chicken. Chen Jingle was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to finish it and didn’t want to leave any leftover food.

Even the vegetable soup is served in small portions.

There was no need for him to call her. Chen Qiyun came over automatically when she heard the sound of washing the pot.

When he saw that in addition to chicken soup and chicken, there was also a small dish of Chinese cabbage on the table, he immediately smiled.

What? There are obviously other dishes.

Wash your hands, take the bowl, and serve the soup, all in one go.

The soup had just been cooked and needed to be cooled by a fan before drinking. As soon as it was ready to drink, Chen Qiyun couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and sip carefully.

Chen Jingle asked: "How is it?"

"It tastes delicious!" Chen Qiyun didn't even bother to answer.

Seeing her gulp down a bowl in a few gulps, Chen Jingle was somewhat speechless: "Zhu Bajie, be careful not to burn yourself when eating watermelon."

"What's in this soup?"

Chen Qiyun finished a bowl of chicken soup, exhaled a breath of hot air with pleasure, and asked curiously.

The chicken soup was clear and the taste was extremely delicious, not at all greasy like the ones her mother or grandmother cooked.

The feeling can be summed up in two words: comfortable.

After drinking it, I felt warm all over, sweeping away all the fatigue of the past few days.

Chen Jingle narrowed his eyes slightly: "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Chen Qiyun didn't respond immediately, but thought for a moment: "What are the red dates and what? It feels like they put some medicinal herbs in it."

“Dangshen, Beiqi, and Danggui.”

“Why can’t I see any chicken fat?”

"I swept the soup away with the chicken puree."

"..."

Chen Qiyun found it magical that chicken puree could make the chicken soup clear.

learned.

In fact, Chen Qiyun also has a spleen deficiency.

You can tell from her previous dislike for eating that she didn't absorb the nutrients she ate that she looked like a malnourished little kid all year round. Recently, after Chen Jingle's improved diet, her complexion gradually became rosy.

In addition, this period was the time of season change, so this pot of chicken soup was really to her liking.

After drinking a bowl of warm chicken soup, I felt much more comfortable.

He drank two bowls in a row and only started eating the vegetables after being urged by Chen Jingle.

A whole chicken plus a plate of Chinese cabbage, I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to finish it and it will be wasted.

If it was the previous Chen Jingle, it would definitely not work. Fortunately, his appetite has increased recently, and his appetite has increased even though he hasn't gained much weight.

Finally, after the unremitting efforts of the two, they successfully finished both dishes.

Chen Jingle ate most of it, which was almost equivalent to the amount of food eaten by three Chen Qiyuns.

He was a little full, but he was glad that the chicken he bought was a little small, otherwise he might not have been able to finish it.

Finally, there was a bowl of soup left, which was fed to the tiger cub.

The cat in Chen Jingle's family can drink soup and likes it very much.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a local cat.

……

Because he ate too much, all the blood went to the stomach, making Chen Jingle feel a little sleepy.

Lying in the rocking chair and not wanting to move.

Chen Qiyun held the tablet and continued watching the bilingual travel video that she had not finished watching just now.

It was not until it was dark that Chen Jingle felt he had rested enough and was ready to get up to water the flowers, so he sent her back.

Then prepare to take a shower.

But just now when he was lying there, he remembered something.

I had said before that I would treat Li Beixing to a meal as a token of my gratitude, after all, I had helped him bring in a lot of calligraphy and painting business.

As a result, I accidentally delayed it for almost another week.

I feel really embarrassed to drag it on any longer, otherwise it would be seen as a broken promise by others.

So he sent a message to Li Beixing, saying, "Teacher Li, excuse me, are you free at noon or in the evening on the 7th?"

Today is the 5th, and it won’t be rude to invite someone two days in advance.

Li Beixing, who was on the other end of the network, was stunned when he saw the message, then he was delighted and immediately replied: "I'm free, what's the matter?"

I didn't expect the other party to reply so quickly.

Chen Jingle got straight to the point and said, "It's like this. I wanted to treat you to a meal before, but I never found the right opportunity. I just wanted to ask if you are free on the 7th. I want to treat you to a meal."
