The people of Jun Sha always had playing cards, poker cards, and mahjong in their homes. Qin Yanan didn't have mahjong, but she still had playing cards.
Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang didn't know how to play, but the rules were similar to mahjong. It was easy to learn, and they just played casually to kill time. Liu Changan didn't want to win any bets, but Zhu Juntang was full of confidence after playing two rounds. She wanted to play something big, but Liu Changan and Qin Yanan ignored her.
After a while, Liu Changan went to brush the sheep's head. He used a brush to brush the scalp. The whiter it was, the better, but if it got scratched, it would be too unprofessional. He then opened the mouth and brushed the tongue, and rinsed the mouth, nose, and ears with water.
"Quite agile." Qin Yanan stood at the kitchen door and watched.
Liu Changan didn't answer. He took a knife and made a long cut from the middle of the scalp to the nose, put it into the pot, poured cold water, and began to boil.
"Do you know, the most famous sheep's head meat in Beijing is Ma Yukun of Qianmen Wailang Ertiao. It has been passed down for six generations. After liberation, during the socialist transformation, Ma Yukun became a transport worker. When Nanlaishun opened, the manager at that time, Chen Liansheng, finally found Ma Yukun to resume his old business. Ma Yukun is the famous sheep's head horse … Now people say that Ma Yukun's skills have been lost, but it's not true. " Liu Changan was slightly proud of himself. People who live for a long time always have a lot of convenience and benefits. "Today, you are in luck. A peerless skill has reappeared in the world."
"I really don't believe it. Ma Yukun's sheep's head, I only heard from the older generation. It is said that once it is made, it is basically sold out. It has been passed down for six generations. Can you make it? Of course, it is lost anyway. As long as you make it delicious, no one can prove that what you said is not true. "Qin Yanan really didn't believe it.
Liu Changan didn't talk nonsense. It still took some time to cook the sheep's head, so he went out to play cards for a while before returning to the kitchen.
Qin Yanan followed him to play cards and followed him into the kitchen.
Liu Changan looked at the goat's head and saw that it was cooked to about seventy percent done. He took it out and while it was still hot, he peeled off the goat's face and skin from the cut in the middle of the scalp. He removed the skull and poked out the goat's eyes with his index finger. He split open the skull and took out the goat's brain. He removed two parts of the goat's face and the goat's tongue and soaked them in cold water.
Qin Yanan was stunned by the smooth and clean process. She knew that Liu Changan had picked up a sheep's head from boiling water and started to peel it. Wasn't he afraid of the heat? Qin Yanan didn't try to stop him from getting scalded. He was an adult, so he didn't have to be so stubborn. He must have the ability.
Just this ability alone made Qin Yanan feel inferior. On the other hand, there were many old chefs who could withstand scalding hot ingredients. Many things had to be processed while they were still hot. It was impossible for one's palms to not be able to withstand the heat, and one did not have that kind of meticulous skills with gloves on.
After soaking it for a while, Liu Changan took a clay pot and fried it with rock salt. When it was hot, he crushed the pepper and added other seasonings to make it into salt and pepper. He put it in the ox-horn bowl to prevent it from losing its flavor. In fact, the secret salt and pepper was the key to eating the sheep's head meat.
When Liu Changan put the sheep's head meat on the long cutting board and showed Qin Yanan what it meant to "sprinkle salt like flying snow and cut thin like paper", Qin Yanan was already convinced. With such craftsmanship and cooking skills, there was no need for him to brag about who he had inherited from. People with unique skills were usually proud and arrogant. How could they attach themselves to others for no reason? However, since he said he was going to reappear in the human world, he would not change his name because of other people's skills.
"I'm going to fry Zhang Jiawei and hire you to be the chef." Zhu Juntang admired him very much, but she just said it. It was a long-term and arduous task to make Liu Changan work for her. Now she couldn't really do it for the time being. She said with envy, "I heard from Zhou Dongdong that you often cook delicious food for her."
"No wonder it's so round." Qin Yanan said as if she had understood something.
"She also often cooks for me. It's a courtesy that demands reciprocity." Liu Changan thought so.
Qin Yanan looked at Liu Changan a few more times and felt the delicious taste between her lips and tongue. The meat was white and clean, thin and big, tender, crisp and fresh, mellow and not greasy. Together with the secret salt and pepper, it simply made her feel that every taste bud was dancing with joy. How could it be so delicious?
"If I eat it every day, I will definitely get fat." Zhu Juntang said worriedly.
"You won't have the chance." Qin Yanan felt that she was thinking too much.
Liu Changan also smiled and started to eat the meat by himself. The mutton head meat should be cold, but the salt and pepper should be eaten quickly when it was just fried. If it was cold and slightly moist, the taste would be much worse.
Qin Yanan ate by herself and also watched Liu Changan eat. She thought that Zhu Juntang was thinking too much. An Nuan was the one who had the chance. After all, Liu Changan said that he would spend his whole life … No, he would spend his whole life to accompany An Nuan.
An Nuan, this little girl, at least had good food. Qin Yanan found that she was actually a little jealous of An Nuan.
Really, she was getting more and more fond of this "eating". Qin Yanan smiled and bit the mutton head meat in her mouth.
"Finished eating. Do you feel any familiar taste?" Liu Changan put down the knife in his hand and asked casually.
"No, this is the first time I've eaten this kind of taste." Qin Yanan shook her head.
"Probably only your great-grandfather could taste the familiar taste." Liu Changan nodded. "When Ye Chenyu was with his younger brother and sister in the capital, he often made this kind of taste."
"Ye Chenyu …" Qin Yanan thought for a while and realized it. She was surprised and laughed, "So this is the name."
"Sinks the Fish, Falls the Wild Goose, Blocks the Moon, Shames the Flower." Zhu Juntang said with a smile.
"How can you use the name of your elder as a joke?" Qin Yanan glared at Zhu Juntang. "It's Chen as in Chen Shi and Yu as in Jin Yu."
Liu Changan nodded and kept looking at Qin Yanan.
"But why do you call your great-grandfather's name directly?" Qin Yanan asked curiously.
Zhu Juntang lowered her head and drank her tea because she wanted to laugh.
"It doesn't matter. He won't care."
Of course, Qin Yanan couldn't say anything. She said to Zhu Juntang, who lowered her head and drank her tea, "Both of us are going to work. You can clean up the table."
"Me?" Zhu Juntang pointed to herself and then picked up her phone, "I'll call someone to clean up …"
"Don't … Forget it. I'm too lazy to argue with you." Qin Yanan sneered at this kind of capitalist, corrupt, and degenerate lady who didn't do anything. She got up to clean up the table. Liu Changan was in the kitchen, so there was no reason for him to do it.
After Qin Yanan went to the kitchen, Zhu Juntang looked at Liu Changan and lowered her voice, "Grandpa, you are testing Qin Yanan, aren't you?"
"You can tell?" Liu Changan thought that Zhu Juntang's mind was as empty as the universe under her skirt.
"How is it? Did you find out anything? I feel that there must be a problem. How could it be so coincidental? Something happened last night and she reformatted her hard drive this morning. Neither earlier nor later? "Zhu Juntang sneered." I watched Conan grow up. "
"I found out that there is nothing wrong with her. You think too much." Liu Changan drank his tea.
