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

There are many types of soy sauce, including light soy sauce and dark soy sauce for coloring and seasoning, and soy sauce for steamed fish. The bottle in Jiang An's hand is the top-grade first-grade puree soy sauce.

"This soy sauce has a mellow flavor, but it may not taste good if used directly because it has too strong a flavor, too much aroma, and even a bit harsh."

Jiang An explained, "So, I plan to boil the soy sauce a little bit to remove the harsh taste and fully release the aroma of the soybeans."

Seeing Jiang An change the pot, Lin Xixi became even more curious. He was looking forward to what kind of delicious surprise Teacher Jiang would bring him today.

To break the harsh taste of soy sauce, the best way is to boil it in a pot.

When the soy sauce is boiling, gently add some cold water to break the astringency. Then, just boil out the added water during the boiling process.

Lin Xixi originally expected some mysterious steps, but after listening to Jiang An's explanation, he thought: "This seems to be quite simple."

However, Jiang An just smiled slightly.

"If you think this is the end, you are very wrong."

"I'm going to keep boiling it until all the water evaporates," he explained. "Then I'm going to add a little bit of sugar, and a little bit of cumin. Once the cumin flavor is fully released, I'm going to take it out. Got it?"

Xiao Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking, "Teacher Jiang, is this still soy sauce?" Jiang An smiled and replied, "This is just one of the ways to make it. I specially chose fennel to complement the taste of pickled cabbage and big bones."

He goes on to explain: “Compared to other spices, cumin’s aroma is not as strong at first, but its aftertaste lasts longer than many spices.”

Lin Xixi asked curiously: "Teacher Jiang, are there any special ways to eat other foods?"

"Of course," Jiang An nodded heavily, "Different foods have different ways of eating. You will know when you try this soy sauce later. It is especially suitable for white meat dishes."

"If you think the meat tastes a bit fishy, ​​you can add some cloves. What do you think?" Jiang An suggested.

Lin Xixi's big eyes sparkled with anticipation as she asked, "Teacher Jiang, when can I eat such delicious food next time? I want to try different flavors."

Jiang An was so amused by his big, twinkling eyes that he said, "You can eat whenever you want."

"I'll make whatever you want to eat for you, okay?" Lin Xixi's heart was already leaping with joy. Although he didn't say anything, he knew very well that Teacher Jiang always doted on him the most.

However, this kind of stew takes time to cook slowly. Two hours later, the pickled cabbage and bones were still not ready.

Lin Xixi looked at the time and almost gave up. "Teacher Jiang, if we are not done yet, let's go to bed first. I am really a little sleepy."

Jiang An smiled slightly, glanced at the clock on the wall, and told him confidently: "It will be ready in a few minutes. I need to let the soup in the pot evaporate almost completely, otherwise the collagen won't be able to fully wrap around the sauerkraut, which will affect the taste."

"Teacher Jiang, I'm very curious, why don't you become a chef?"

This is not the first time that Lin Xixi has asked this question, but Jiang An's previous answers were always vague. Today, he decided to give Xiao Lin a clear answer.

"Because if you want to be a chef, you have to take an exam, which is too troublesome," Jiang An explained.

"Teacher Jiang, is this true?"

Lin Xixi almost put her face close to Jiang An's and asked in a particularly naughty tone.

Jiang An just smiled slightly, without saying anything else, he stood up and walked to the kitchen to open the pot.

When Jiang An brought the delicious pickled cabbage and large bones to the table, the moment Lin Xixi smelled the aroma, he felt all the fatigue in his body swept away, and even the sleepiness that had been bothering him before disappeared without a trace.

"Teacher Jiang, I want that soy sauce, give it to me quickly!" Xiao Lin couldn't wait to taste the soy sauce carefully made by Jiang An. What kind of delicious would it be?

Jiang An didn't say much, and directly handed the soy sauce to Lin Xixi, and reminded her: "Try it, but be careful when eating, don't let the big bones burn your mouth."

Lin Xixi answered confidently: "It's okay, Teacher Jiang, as long as it's delicious, I'm not afraid of burning my mouth."

As he spoke, he picked up a large bone, dipped it in soy sauce and put it into his mouth.

However, things did not go as he imagined. The boiling soup on the big bone instantly made him stop.

"Oh my God, why do I feel like I was bitten by it!" Lin Xixi exclaimed.

Jiang An smiled helplessly, picked up the knife beside him, and helped Lin Xixi pick the meat off the big bone piece by piece.

I don’t know how Jiang An did it, but these slices of meat are fat and lean, and contain the unique brittle collagen from the big bones.

Lin Xixi dipped it in soy sauce and tasted it carefully twice before putting it in her mouth.

When chewing, it not only has a mellow taste, but also feels very moist.

"Oh my God, Teacher Jiang, this is so delicious, even better than the sauerkraut and bones you made before!" Lin Xixi praised it highly.

Jiang An knew the shortcomings of this dish, so he asked, "But to be honest, isn't it still not as delicious as the pig-killing dishes we eat in the north?"

However, Lin Xixi's answer surprised him a little.

Xiao Lin thought that these were the most delicious pickled cabbage and pork bones he had ever eaten, for no other reason than that they were made by Jiang An himself, and also because of the bowl of garlic sauce that the two of them worked together to prepare.

By the time they had finished their meal, it was almost daybreak.

Jiang An also felt very tired, so he carried Lin Xixi back to the bedroom upstairs to rest. As for the dishes and other sundries on the table, he would clean them up after he woke up.

Lying on the bed, Jiang An wondered whether he should buy a state-of-the-art automatic dishwasher - a convenient model that did not require each plate and bowl to be neatly placed.

When Jiang An and Lin Xixi woke up from their sweet dreams, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

They slept very comfortably, however, the bowl of garlic sauce in the living room filled the entire space with its rich smell.

Lin Xixi stood outside the living room door, looking at Jiang An with a painful face: "Dear Teacher Jiang, save me! How can such a delicious thing have such a strong taste the next day?"

Jiang An smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not sure about this either. But I had anticipated this situation last night. It doesn't matter, we just open the windows and ventilate it."

"Is ventilation really useful?" Lin Xixi asked doubtfully.

Jiang An nodded affirmatively, and then the two of them acted quickly to open all the windows and doors on both sides of the living room.

Within a few minutes, the garlic aroma in the house disappeared without a trace.

Lin Xixi finally loosened her hands that were pinching her nose and sighed, "Oh my God, Teacher Jiang, this thing smells too pungent. I must put it away in time after eating it next time."

"Okay, I get it. Next time we'll just put it away after eating, okay?" Jiang An touched his head lovingly.

However, the two fell into boredom again and didn't know what to do.

A sly smile flashed across Jiang An's eyes, and he hugged Lin Xixi tightly: "How about we both expand on the game that we didn't play last night?"

"No, what time is it now?"

Lin Xixi refused verbally, but her cheeks turned slightly red. However, she couldn't help but hug Jiang An's neck.

Receiving the hint from the beauty, Jiang An naturally would not miss this opportunity. He exerted force on his waist, picked up Lin Xixi and rushed to the bedroom upstairs.

A few hours later, when Jiang An and Lin Xixi finished taking a shower together, their faces were still filled with happy smiles after the joy.

Xiao Lin gently hit Jiang An's chest and teased, "You bastard, you're really trying hard."

Jiang An smiled helplessly and said, "That can't be helped. When we first got together, you always said that I wasn't trying hard enough and that you were the one in control. Now I want to show you who is the real leader."

"Of course it's still me."

Lin Xixi smiled smugly, then dodged, ignoring Jiang An's reaction, pinching her waist and said, "Anyway, I haven't begged for mercy just now. If you still have the energy, come and catch me."
