272 Chapter 272 Father-in-law's Test

Seeing Yang Xiaoxiao's serious prayer, Liu Huaxing wanted to laugh a little, but in order not to spoil the atmosphere, he held it back, just touching the little girl's head by the side.But Yang Xiaoxiao closed his eyes and prayed silently for a long time, then nodded in satisfaction, looked at Liu Huaxing and asked, "Are you praying? Sincerity is the spirit!"

"Yes." Liu Huaxing grabbed her pigtail and smiled. "Go back and finish your homework today?"

"Yeah." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, tilted his head and nodded, "Hey, Xingxing, should you go to my house for dinner tonight? Anyway, you are also at home alone, or just stay overnight at my house."

"I think... it's not the time yet." Liu Huaxing smiled dryly, "Your dad may be a little hostile."

"Oh, that's the same." Yang Xiaoxiao said reluctantly: "But I don't think my family will allow me to stay overnight at your place tonight, or..." Speaking of this, Yang Xiaoxiao asked tentatively. "I will go home later tonight, and then get up early tomorrow morning, come to you to catch up?"

"It's okay, don't worry, silly strawberry." Liu Huaxing helped her brush away the bangs in front of her with a smile, "Hair is getting longer."

"Yeah." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled, brushing the braid behind his head, "Do you think I should continue to stay?"

Soon Yang Xiaoxiao was diverted. In fact, Liu Huaxing didn't mind being alone at home, but he still agreed to go to Yang Xiaoxiao's house for dinner.Because it is rare for Yang Chengzhi to rest at home today, Liu Huaxing plans to exchange feelings with his future father-in-law in the past.What's more, during the day, you have to prepare the ingredients for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and sell it when you are ready.

Now Liu Huaxing’s sweet-scented osmanthus cake is already a feature of Yang Chengzhi’s store. Many customers will rush to buy some on Saturdays and Sundays, and even take them back. Gradually, they are spreading. More and more people came after hearing the news.

Liu Huaxing’s sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not only cute in appearance, but also innovative in taste. It is not as sweet as the traditional sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so it will not be too tiring to eat. In addition to serving as a refreshment pairing, it tastes very good alone. .

Of course, in fact, Yang Xiaoxiao was the only surgeon recently. He just gave pointers from the side and checked the finished product to confirm that there was no problem before letting Yang Xiaoxiao take it to her father.And they have been selling osmanthus cakes for more than four months, and they have also made a lot of extra money.

During the day, Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao obediently did half of their homework at home. In the afternoon, they prepared the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. It was almost three o'clock.Liu Huaxing cleaned up and came to Yang Xiaoxiao's house.

In the National Day, the temperature in Beichang City began to drop, but it was still more than 20 degrees. The little girl took advantage of this summer's tail to wear shorts and show her legs as much as possible, which was also convenient for him to eat tofu.

"Mom, the stars are here." Yang Xiaoxiao shouted after pushing the door open. Yang Xiaoxiao's mother Wang Mei immediately greeted her and said with a smile: "Oh, A Xing is here? Come in with a change of shoes? Her dad! Come out and say hello!"

Ever since Yang Xiaoxiao started selling osmanthus cakes to bring food to Yang Chengzhi by the way, Liu Huaxing felt that Yang Chengzhi seemed to spend more time resting at home, which in a disguised way eased the atmosphere of their family, which should be considered a good thing.

Yang Chengzhi was dressed in loose pajamas. After he came out of the room with a magazine, he nodded to Liu Huaxing even if he had said hello, a little perfunctory. Then his gaze shifted to Yang Xiaoxiao.

"Last night...cough cough." Yang Chengzhi cleared his throat and seemed to want to ask them about the situation last night, but he felt a little embarrassed to ask directly, so it turned into a light cough, and finally he changed the subject and stared. Liu Huaxing said: "I bought a fish head at home today, make a fish head with chopped pepper and try it."

"???" Liu Huaxing was a bit full of question marks at the time: didn't he come as a guest?Why are you a chef again?

However, although Liu Huaxing felt that Yang Chengzhi was a bit suspicion of taking advantage of his opportunity to order a few dishes he likes to eat, at least it was the request of the future father-in-law, Liu Huaxing agreed in one fell swoop: "No problem!"

When he came to the kitchen, Liu Huaxing saw a huge fish head with fat head. Yang Xiaoxiao followed him with small steps and grinned. Liu Huaxing touched her brain and smiled: "My little strawberry likes to eat chopped pepper fish head. ?"

"I like it! I like to eat fish like spicy, so I like to eat chopped pepper fish head." Yang Xiaoxiao said happily.

"Well, I have the motivation to say that." Liu Huaxing felt the white and tender skin on Yang Xiaoxiao's face with the back of his hand and smiled, then tied his waist and started busy in the kitchen.In fact, the dish of chopped pepper fish head is relatively simple, but it is also difficult to make flowers.This is like egg fried rice. It is difficult to make egg fried rice different from others.

To put it bluntly, this kind of cooking requires basic skills. The more solid the basic skills, the better.But fortunately, Liu Huaxing's basic skills are very solid, and he has been cooking for five or six years, counting the time he has returned after reading files.

Not to mention that he spent a lot of time cooking in Michelin restaurants. Compared with the time a normal person cooks every day, he may have been cooking for ten years. This basic skill is still not enough to make a fish head. questionable.Although he doesn't like fish head very much, he doesn't cook this dish much, but he also knows the basic method.

Later, Liu Huaxing changed the knife on the fish head, made a few cuts to make it easier to taste, then added salt, oil and white wine to marinate, and then prepared the "chopped pepper" for the fish head.

The chopped pepper of the fish head with chopped pepper is basically the core of this dish, and the taste you eat comes from the chopped pepper. Therefore, the chopped pepper should be able to remove the fishy and enhance the flavor. The normal method of preparation is to add oil and add garlic Put the dried chili in the pan to reveal the fragrance, then add the chopped chili and stir fry, add salt, monosodium glutamate and soy sauce and other seasonings, and then saute the tempeh until fragrant. The sauce of chopped pepper fish head is complete.

He was busy in the kitchen, and Yang Xiaoxiao was on the side to help him as usual, helping him wash the onion, ginger and garlic, and hand him the seasoning.When everything was ready, the chopped pepper fish head was steamed in the pot, and Liu Huaxing also fry a few side dishes by the way, such as hot and sour potato shreds and tomato scrambled eggs, so as not to appear out of space on the table.

Soon, the chopped pepper fish head was steamed, and Liu Huaxing used a spoon to put a few drops of oil on the chopped pepper fish head before serving.

"I'm sorry, it's rare to be a guest and ask you to cook again." Wang Mei said with a smile, and then smelled the chopped pepper fish head, and sighed: "It's so fragrant...her dad, would you like to drink two glasses? Have your favorite fish head with chopped pepper."

Yang Chengzhi nodded in thought, "Then have a drink."

Hearing that Wang Mei got up and fetched a bottle of white wine. Although Liu Huaxing did not drink, this bottle of wine looked quite high-end.

"I'm coming." Liu Huaxing got up immediately, took the bottle from Wang Mei's hand and poured a small glass for Yang Chengzhi.

"Enough is enough." Yang Chengzhi responded, and then grabbed the chopsticks, "Okay, let's start tasting."

When everyone clicked on their chopsticks, they all sighed. Wang Mei and Yang Xiaoxiao were full of praise. The fish was sweet and tender and tasted delicious without any fishy smell. The chopped pepper was also very tasty. It was especially appetizing.But these are actually just basic skills. Any chef who does a good job of chopped pepper fish head should do these. They didn't get the essence of it, just thought it was delicious.

"It's fragrant and spicy, so delicious." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly at Liu Huaxing, leaning on his shoulder, "So happy!"

"This taste..." Yang Chengzhi is different. After all, it is the old oil seed who manages the restaurant. He naturally noticed something special in it, so he frowned, "It seems that there is a special fragrance... Is it sesame oil?"

"As expected, uncle, I really tasted it." Liu Huaxing smiled, "I added some sesame oil to it when I finally started the pot to enhance the flavor. The scent of sesame oil can bring the umami taste of the chopped pepper fish head to another level. It can also further eliminate the fishy smell."

"It's a bit risky..." Yang Chengzhi frowned, "Although in terms of results, the effect is not bad."

Sesame oil itself is a kind of oil with a strong taste, it has a very obvious bitter taste of sesame, so you need to control the dosage well.Chopped pepper fish head itself is the taste of chopped pepper. Fish meat has only fish flavor, so if you give too much sesame oil, you will have the taste of sesame oil in your mouth, which will cover the taste of chopped pepper and fish itself.

However, if given properly, the scent of sesame oil can enhance the taste of the entire dish, and the fish will be a bit fishy. The bigger the freshwater fish, the more fishy it is. No matter how you remove it, the fishy smell will exist. The proper aroma and bitterness of sesame oil can deceive the taste, making people unable to taste the fishy smell of this fish.

It is precisely because of this that the aroma and taste of the whole dish will be upgraded to a higher level, which can be described as the finishing touch.

"Well, it's really good." Yang Chengzhi nodded in satisfaction and raised his glass for a drink.

"It does have a special fragrance, it's really delicious." Wang Mei also smiled, "I have dinner and wine."

"I haven't eaten such delicious chopped pepper fish head in a long time." Yang Xiaoxiao ate the chopped pepper fish head with a happily smile.This moment is Liu Huaxing's favorite moment and his motivation as a chef.

The four people were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant. Liu Huaxing didn't say much, but just watched Yang Xiaoxiao and his family eating and drinking with a smile, praising the delicacy of chopped pepper fish head.

Until the meal was finished, when Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao came to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Wang Mei came to the kitchen and smiled mysteriously at him: "Axing, you have passed the test of your future father-in-law, congratulations. "

"Test? What test?" Liu Huaxing asked in a puzzled manner, "Is it just to be a fish head with chopped pepper?"
