Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 534 - An Appointment
After sending you thousands of miles away, we must finally say goodbye. No matter how reluctant Zhuo Qianqian was, she still boarded the high-speed train back to school.

They were all independent individuals, and it wasn't a life-and-death separation, so naturally there was no need to burst into tears. Carrying a box full of snacks and braised food prepared by Wang Fan, the two waved goodbye.

Wang Fan did not start a new mission for the time being, but went to Shanghai to keep an appointment.

Of course, the one she went to was not a date with a cool and elegant lady or a pure lolita, but a date with Shen Teng.

Wang Fan truly regards this diner who has supported him for a long time as a friend, and he will naturally do what he promised him.

On August 8st, it was Mr. Shen’s birthday, and I went to his house to cook.

Wang Fan just found out that Shen Teng’s home is actually in Xiamen, Fujian, which many people think is the capital of FJ Province.

This was the first time Wang Fan met Mr. Shen. To be honest, he looked quite different from the image of a rich man in his mind.

Mr. Shen is very tall and thin. He looks gentle and young with a pair of glasses. He doesn't look like a man with a son in his 20s at all.

Father Shen was very happy about Wang Fan's arrival. The two chatted for a while and got along quite well. Looking at the time, Wang Fan said, "It's almost time. I'll go prepare the meal."

Father Shen quickly pulled him back: "You are a guest from afar, how can I let you cook? Xiao Teng was just talking casually, just sit back and enjoy my wife's cooking."

Wang Fan shook his head: "Since I have already promised something, I must do it. I can't go back on my word."

Mother Shen also looked very young and well-maintained. Standing with Shen Teng, they looked more like siblings than mother and son. She had just put on an apron and said to Wang Fan with a smile, "You are one of Xiao Teng's few friends. Being here is like being at home. How can you be so formal? Just sit down and I'll take care of everything."

Shen Teng's home is a villa of more than 500 square meters. He has hired a nanny, who is now wearing an apron and ready to help.

Wang Fan smiled and said, "I'm the one who cooks at home too."

Shen Teng spoke up at this time: "Dad, Mom, Aunt Wu, you guys just stay here. Mom, I'm not saying this, but your cooking skills are pretty good in our area, but compared to my brother Wang, there's still a little gap. I'd like to take this opportunity to let you have a good taste of what delicious food is."

Mr. Shen had tasted the braised food brought back by Shen Teng, and to be honest, it was really amazing. He also missed that taste quite a bit, but he still felt bad about asking someone to cook for him the first time he visited him.

But Wang Fan was very persistent, and since it was indeed an agreement, he couldn't say anything more: "Don't worry about it, dear. Let's use the child's face to taste how delicious the food made by the strongest gourmet boss in the wild is."

Mother Shen wanted to say more, but when she saw Father Shen shaking his head gently, she had to give up: "Okay, then I won't be busy anymore. It's just that this is really rude. Xiaofan, you stay here for a few more days. Auntie will make you something delicious later."

Wang Fan smiled and nodded. He liked the family atmosphere of this family very much.

Walking into the kitchen, there was a wide variety of seafood and vegetables. Wang Fan stroked his chin and thought about what kind of delicious food he could make with these ingredients.

Shen Teng followed in and said, "Brother Wang, just make six dishes. This is the standard for my dad's birthday. The five of us can't eat much, so a slightly larger portion will be fine."

Wang Fan nodded and asked, "Any dietary restrictions?"

Shen Teng said: "Everything else is fine, but Aunt Wu can't eat spicy food, so slightly spicy is fine."

Wang Fan looked at Shen Teng in surprise but said nothing. He nodded again and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go out. I can do it myself." Shen Teng rolled up his sleeves and showed off his muscleless arms: "Brother Wang, do you need help?"

Wang Fan shook his head: "No, it's just six dishes, easy to handle."

Shen Teng turned around and left without saying a word, and also pulled away Aunt Wu who was about to come in to help: "Don't go in, Brother Wang can handle it himself."

Ginger duck, fried oysters, squirrel fish, stewed chicken with wild delicacies, and stir-fried squid with celery and green peppers.

The ingredients in the kitchen are relatively common, not all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. The most expensive ingredient should be the two lobsters tied with pliers.

Wang Fan classified the various ingredients and also drafted a draft of what dishes to make.

Of course, we can’t miss those two lively big lobsters. The mint and spicy stir-fried lobsters are definitely a good choice.

At that time, use Erjingtiao to cook the chili peppers, which will retain the fragrance of the chili peppers without being too spicy, so Aunt Wu will not be unable to eat it.

Although the meal only consists of 6 simple dishes, it includes chicken, duck, fish and vegetables, so it cannot be said to be shabby.

However, he really didn't expect that this family would actually take into account the taste of the nanny, Aunt Wu. Looking at Aunt Wu's expression, he knew that this was not a show in front of him, but that this was how they were usually.

After deciding on the menu, he started to prepare it. The most time-consuming of the six dishes was undoubtedly the ginger duck, so it was undoubtedly the first dish to be prepared.

Ginger duck, as the name suggests, is made with old ginger and duck as the main ingredients. Wang Fan has seen both ginger and duck, and bought old ginger that can be spun into threads and red-nosed duck. It seems that Mother Shen also plans to make ginger duck.

Take out a kitchen knife and place the washed old ginger. After a few operations, all the old ginger is cut into ginger slices. Then, hold the chopping board and place the ginger slices where the sunlight comes in.

Then the red-nosed duck was turned into red-nosed duck pieces and soaked in water with salt and flour.

Wang Fan continued to use his unique technique to squeeze out the blood from the duck meat. Under the dual effects of salt and flour, the remaining blood in the duck meat quickly floated out. After soaking it in water several times, no more blood seeped out.

Take out the seasoning bowl, pour rice wine, oyster sauce, cooking wine, sugar, salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and black sesame oil into the bowl and mix well.

Put a white porcelain casserole on the stove, preheat it on low heat, then put the ginger slices that are slightly warm from the sun into the pot and bake them.

When the moisture of the old ginger is further baked out, pour half a bowl of black sesame oil directly into it.

As long as three things are in place when making ginger duck, the taste will definitely be great: duck, ginger, and sesame oil. These three are the soul of ginger duck.

The flavor of old ginger is already strong, and black sesame oil is also a leader in the sesame oil world. Under the influence of temperature, the sesame oil constantly produces small golden bubbles, and the sesame oil and old ginger also quickly emit a rich aroma.

The old ginger quickly curled up slightly and crisped when fried in sesame oil. Three bay leaves, two pieces of angelica, four pieces of dried tangerine peel, two star anise and a piece of cinnamon were thrown directly into the pan and fried until fragrant.

The flavors of the spices influence each other and finally merge into one. The rich aroma will inevitably drift outward even with a range hood.
