Chapter 377 I Can Pay the Rent
huh huh~
Jiang Hua sucked the noodle soup in the white porcelain bowl vigorously. Because Zhang Tong watched Jiang Hua fall asleep on the table as soon as he came to the store, so he reckoned that Jiang Hua must have stayed up late last night, and most likely he hadn't eaten. So Zhang Tong specially made a bowl of noodle soup for Jiang Hua, which was not on the menu.
Curry duck noodles, which Zhang Tong originally planned to use as a staff meal today, but seeing Jiang Hua so tired, let her have some curry to boost her spirits. Because after long-term work and staying up late, people's appetite will become poor, especially girls who stay up late are prone to deficiency and cold. Japanese curry is not as strong and pungent as Indian curry, and is relatively soft. Even if the Japanese-style curry is marked as the spiciest, it is generally slightly spicy for Chinese people.
Zhang Tong chose to make a bowl of curry duck soba noodles, which is healthy, nutritious and delicious.
The man who invented the pressure cooker is definitely a genius, at least for those who like to cook, he is a genius. Because with the pressure cooker, many dishes that need to be stewed for a long time to soften and rotten can be prepared in a short time. For example, the two large duck legs prepared by Zhang Tong only need to be stewed for ten minutes in a pressure cooker to achieve the effect of forty minutes in an ordinary pot.
While stewing the duck legs in a pressure cooker, Zhang Tong cleaned up the crab-flavored mushrooms and onions in the refrigerator. Because of the unique smell of onions, many people will cry when cutting onions. Although there are sulfur-free onions that will not irritate people's eyes, the taste of this onion is much lighter than traditional onions, so Zhang Tong never None of them. He has his own solution to the problem of onion smoke, which is to cut the onion after wetting the kitchen knife, so as to reduce the smell of smoke.
Dice the onion, wash and remove the stalks of the crab-flavored mushrooms. Heat the frying pan on the stove, add a small amount of cooking oil, and heat the onion into the pan. Onion is a kind of amazing vegetable. It is spicy and strong when it is raw, but when it is thoroughly heated, it will emit a mellow aroma, and the taste will become sweet and even replace MSG.
The aroma of onions began to diffuse in the sound of sizzling, and the pressure cooker was steaming, and the aroma of duck stew also diffused. Jiang Hua, who was lying on the table, twitched his nose twice, but he still didn't wake up. Zhang Tong boiled another pot of hot water and prepared to cook soba noodles.
Crab-flavored mushrooms are mixed with onions and fried together. The crab-flavored mushrooms are rich and sweet, and they are fried together with onions to make juice. At this time, the duck leg soup was also cooked, and Zhang Tong directly unplugged the vent valve of the pressure cooker. Puff~~ High-pressure steam gushes out, like a whale fountain evoked by jumping out of the sea.
Release the high-pressure steam and open the pressure cooker. A quick pot of duck soup is ready. Just pour the fried onions and crab mushrooms into the frying pan, and simmer slowly over low heat. The water pot on one side was already boiling, and a handful of buckwheat noodles was put in. At this time, Zhang Tong had already prepared Bai Mengduo curry cubes. Zhang Tong chose the original flavor, Baimondo curry is originally a Japanese curry with a light taste. There is only the aroma of curry but there is no spicy taste. It is suitable for people who want to eat some strong flavors in their mouths after staying up late, but their stomachs are not too irritating. The curry melts in the pot, and the duck curry soup with the unique flavor of duck curry, fragrant onion and crab-flavored mushroom is ready.
After the soba noodles are boiled, they are directly put into a large white porcelain bowl, and the curry duck broth is submerged in the soba noodles. Crab-flavored mushrooms and onions are floating on the curry soup, and two big duck legs are spread on the noodles to swear their own existence. Because curry has its own taste, Zhang Tong does not need to add salt to season. Finally, two slices of lettuce were simply scalded and served on the curry duck noodles.
When Zhang Tong brought the fragrant curry duck noodles to Jiang Hua, Jiang Hua, who was still dozing off, woke up directly: "Well, where does the curry smell come from?"
Jiang Hua had no image when he was sleeping on the table, resulting in two red marks on his face. But when she saw the curry duck noodles that Zhang Tong made for her, she said directly: "Is this the noodles for me?"
"right."
"Then I won't be polite!" Jiang Hua was really hungry, picked up the chopsticks and started attacking the noodles. I have to say that Zhang Tong's craftsmanship is still top-notch. This curry duck noodle soup is rich in meat and has a tantalizing curry aroma. The duck legs have been simmered in the pressure cooker until they are soft, and the curry soup has been simmered for a while before it tastes good. Bite down the duck skin and the oil overflows with the texture of the thick fiber of the duck and the curry soup mixed in the muscle fiber. The pleasure of biting is born between the lips and teeth. Have another bite of soft and tender crab-flavored mushrooms with smooth noodles and refreshing green vegetables. Swallowing this bowl of curry duck noodles, which is far from exquisite food, brings a sense of happiness called satisfaction.
This kind of gourmet experience known as "eating thick and full" is another kind of enjoyment besides exquisite cuisine. This is a kind of happiness that can never be experienced in Japanese kaiseki cuisine and French cuisine. This kind of happiness can only exist in small street shops, or even roadside snacks sold by carts.
Jiang Hua ate up a bowl of curry duck noodles and two big duck legs. She even drank up all the duck soup in the soup bowl. Patting his stomach, Jiang Hua leaned on the back of the chair to rest in satisfaction.
Zhang Tong brought Jiang Hua a cup of green tea for digestion: "Are you full?"
"I'm full. It's much more comfortable." Jiang Hua leaned lazily on the chair.
"Jiang Hua, what is our relationship now?"
"What do you say?"
"I reckon they are boyfriend and girlfriend."
Jiang Hua smiled without answering, neither saying yes nor no.
"Look, as your boyfriend, I have encountered something recently, can you help me?"
Although going to Disneyland with Zhang Tong before meant that Jiang Hua accepted Zhang Tong to some extent, but hearing Zhang Tong claiming to be his boyfriend, Jiang Hua still felt a little uncomfortable. She waved her hand: "If you have something to say, don't say that there is nothing."
"That's right, my house is three-in-one, and I can't live here anymore. I will move out before next week or the store will be closed. Tell me, time is tight and tasks are heavy. Where can I find a suitable one in such a short time?" A house to live in! So do me a favor."
"Help you find a house? OK, let me ask for you."
"No, I mean, don't you live in a two-bedroom apartment? Can you give me a room? Don't worry, I will pay the rent!" Zhang Tong said sternly. But Jiang Hua almost crushed the water glass, this old Zhang's shameless speed is too fast!
Note: Many book friends reported in the group that Lao Zhang hasn't cooked for a long time, so I wrote a chapter today. I am writing a book tonight, and I really want to eat fried chicken as soon as I write it. I was trying to exercise restraint while losing weight, so I endured until the fried chicken shops were closed and started writing this chapter. So, ask for votes.
