Ten years as a substitute!Now that she leaves, she regrets it too much

Jiang An followed Lin Xixi's instructions and began to prepare this mouth-watering mutton dish.

He stared at the cut pieces of mutton on the chopping board, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

"Teacher Jiang, why don't you start?" Lin Xixi poked her head into the kitchen and looked at him curiously. "How about I help you find that teaching video?"

Jiang An quickly waved his hand, "No, I'm not sure if the method in the video is applicable."

Although current online videos provide convenience for everyone in cooking, Jiang An believes that they are always lacking in taste. After all, they simplify too many cooking steps, omit some rare seasonings, and the selection of ingredients is not particular enough.

Although Lin Xixi just wanted to taste the food, Jiang An was determined to present the most perfect dish for her.

"Xixi, go to the living room and watch TV. I'll call you when it's ready." Jiang An smiled gently, then concentrated on the pot of mutton in front of him.

Since traditional pickling methods were not applicable, Jiang An decided to try a unique technique.

He first put the required vegetable ingredients into a wall-breaker, crushed them, squeezed out the vegetable juice, and then baked them over low heat to a specific temperature, and then soaked the mutton in it.

This method can quickly mature the outer fibers of the lamb, lock in the gravy, and allow the lamb to fully absorb the deliciousness of the vegetables.

After more than half an hour of marinating, the vegetable juice has cooled down and Jiang An is ready to proceed to the next step of cooking.

However, just as he heated the oil in the pan, Lin Xixi hurried into the kitchen with his cell phone in her hand, "Teacher Jiang, answer the phone, it's Lin Qingyou calling."

Jiang An looked at his hands covered in vegetable juice and could only smile helplessly, then he asked Ms. Lin for help.

Lin Xixi smiled gently and helped him press the answer button.

Jiang An then asked, "Lao Lin, what happened?"

"Nothing," Lin Qingyou's voice sounded particularly relaxed. "I just noticed that you didn't seem to plan to come to the company recently, so I told you in advance that our company may need to purchase another batch of equipment in a while. I will discuss this money directly with Lao Zhang."

"no problem,"

Jiang An never took such trivial matters to heart. He also explained to Lin Qingyou, "It's not that I don't want to go to work, I'm just too tired recently. You two should finish your work quickly, and then we can have a good vacation together."

"My big boss, isn't it a bit heartless of you to say that?"

Lin Qingyou sighed helplessly, "Originally, you were the one who kept yelling and didn't let us rest freely, but now you are the one who rests the most."

Jiang An smiled bitterly, "I didn't mean it. It's because my little classmate is so cute. Besides, I feel relieved to have you in the company."

"Stop talking nonsense here," Lin Xixi obviously didn't believe his words, "Even if this matter has something to do with me, it won't have much to do with me. In the final analysis, it's just you who wants to be lazy at home."

In Lin Qingyou's opinion, this is understandable.

After all, from the beginning of the company's establishment to the beginning of this year, Jiang Anquan devoted himself physically and mentally and worked overtime.

Although the help of the company and Zhang Zhejie is indispensable, Jiang An is the core of the company.

"Okay, let's not talk too much. You continue to enjoy yourself at home. The two of us still have to work hard."

Lin Qingyou said, "By the way, this month's bonus will be doubled." After saying that, he hung up the phone without caring about Jiang An's attitude.

Jiang An smiled helplessly, wondering in his heart, what kind of bonus should he ask for? The surprise he prepared for Lin Xixi would require a considerable investment, and by then, the bonuses and salaries of the two brothers would probably have to go into his own pocket.

When he thought of this, Jiang An couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Teacher Jiang, what's wrong?" Lin Xixi looked at him curiously.

Jiang An shook his head slightly, "Nothing, didn't you hear what Lao Lin said just now? He was planning to let me increase his bonus. You see, my brothers are so straightforward."

"That's not true," Lin Xixi pouted, "They do have a lot of work to do. Also, Mr. Jiang, if you're really worried about things at the company, you don't have to do this. It would be better for the two of us to continue going to work."

"Forget it," Jiang An waved his hand and said, "I am indeed a little tired. It would be good for us to take a rest. Besides, the company does not have any major administrative matters right now, so it is normal for them to be responsible."

"Otherwise, I would stay in the company every day, playing games all the time, which is really boring."

After hearing what he said, Lin Xixi had nothing to refute.

As soon as Lin Xixi left the kitchen, Jiang An immediately started a new round of operations.

When the oil was heated, he threw the pre-marinated mutton cubes directly into the pan.

Originally in his plan, although there would be some oil splashing, because the amount of meat put in at one time was relatively large and the oil temperature was properly controlled, at least large-scale boiling would not occur.

However, the reality was somewhat beyond his expectations. When the mutton entered the frying pan, it immediately stirred up a huge wave of oil.

If Jiang An hadn't dodged in time and his phone hadn't been fast enough, the kitchen would probably have become a mess by now.

The huge boiling sound made Lin Xixi worried and went to the kitchen door. Fortunately, she saw that Teacher Jiang was still safe and sound, but the oil in the wok was constantly boiling.

"Is it so dangerous to cook this dish?" Seeing the scene in front of her, Lin Xixi felt a little regretful. She was worried that the hot oil would splash onto Jiang An.

However, Jiang An just smiled faintly, "Don't worry, there is no problem at all."

"Really?" Xiao Lin looked at him distrustfully, but Jiang An gave a positive answer, "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."

"Well, Mr. Jiang, if it doesn't work, let's just forget it."

Although Lin Xixi said this, she actually felt a little regretful in her heart.

She knew Jiang An's character very well. As long as she asked for something, no matter how difficult it was, he would try his best to complete it.

Lin Xixi warned herself that she must be more careful when speaking in the future.

This is still a small matter. If there are any other important situations, if Jiang An takes risks for her, it will not be worth it.

Lin Xixi is naturally worthy of Jiang An's deep love, but she must also try her best to protect his safety.

As the frying process progresses, the boiling sound gradually disappears, and is replaced by waves of rich lamb aroma wafting out of the kitchen.

No matter how advanced the range hood at home is, it cannot completely eliminate all the fumes.

The aroma was so tempting that Lin Xixi couldn't help swallowing her saliva while sitting in the kitchen.

At this moment, Jiang An also took the fried mutton out of the pot and placed it on a colander to filter out excess oil.

In order to ensure that the mutton skin is crispy, Jiang An deliberately put a layer of oil-absorbing paper underneath when serving, because he knew that Xiaolin preferred the texture of crispy outside and tender inside.

However, the preparation of this dish is not yet completely finished.

The marinated mutton has only a light base flavor, and to achieve the desired taste effect, secondary seasoning is required.

Jiang An glanced at the spice rack on the side, and fortunately, it was stocked with cumin, chili and sesame seeds.

He put the three spices in a dry iron pot according to a certain proportion, lit the fire, and slowly baked it over a low heat. After the aroma of all spices was fully released, he turned off the fire and crushed some of the spices in a grinder.

As for the remaining half of the seasoning, Jiang An gently rolled it a few times with a rolling pin, making it half powder and half granules. This ensures that the aroma of the seasoning can be released in multiple forms.

Then he added the right amount of salt and the seasoning was complete.

Delicious food needs to be served with beautiful utensils to be edible.

Jiang An specially prepared a pre-heated plate, covered it with oil-absorbing paper, carefully arranged the mutton into a beautiful shape, and sprinkled it with appropriate seasonings.

Everything was ready. He was about to turn around and call Lin Xixi to taste the food, but he found that the little girl had quietly slipped into the kitchen and was squatting at the door, looking at him expectantly.

"Teacher Jiang, can I enjoy my mutton now?"

She asked, blinking her big, twinkling eyes.

Looking at her cute appearance, Jiang An couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Of course, but you have to be careful, this plate is very hot. I would be sorry if I burned you."
