After the salted fish is married

58. Crispy Salted Chicken

Ji Tan is still a child, if he cooks fried chicken according to the usual method, Yan Xining is afraid that he will be caught by a bone.After thinking for a while, he decided to take only chicken and cut it into pieces to make salted crispy chicken that is suitable for all ages.

Yan Xining put the chicken on the chopping board and skillfully removed the head and tail. As the blade of the knife was drawn across the chicken, the whole chicken was quickly disassembled into meat with skin on.The bloody chicken bone was taken out by Yan Xining and placed in a large bowl aside, he could cook a soup with the chicken bone later.

When he was seriously dismantling the third chicken, Yan Ke appeared out of nowhere: "My subordinates always think that the princess can go to the Punishment Department or Dali Temple."

Yan Xining was taken aback, turned around and saw Yan Ke marveling at the chicken on the chopping board: "This knife is really neat."

Yan Xining immediately understood Yan Ke's reason for coming, he smiled and said: "There are cakes in the cupboard, take it yourself." Normally, Yan Ke only comes to the kitchen for one thing, and that is to see if there are any delicious snacks.

As expected, Yan Ke opened the cupboard in a hurry, and he took out a large plate of leek pancakes from the cupboard with satisfaction.After picking up a piece of cake and taking a bite, Yan Ke was full of praise: "The things made by the princess are delicious."

Yan Xining continued to tear apart chickens: "Why didn't you follow your prince?"

Yan Ke said: "The lord is meeting with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and it is inconvenient for his subordinates to listen in. By the way, wangfei, the lord said before that you will learn self-defense from your brothers. Do you still want to learn?"

Yan Xining turned around sharply with burning eyes: "Is it really possible?"

Ever since she witnessed Yan Ke's [-] martial arts skills, Yan Xining dreamed of becoming a master who could fly over walls.But after returning from the royal enclosure, Ji Song became very busy, and even Yan Ke and his group of guards also became busy, often seeing the dragon at the beginning but not the end.

Now that Yan Ke took the initiative to mention this matter, all the cells in Yan Xining's body became excited: "Then... shall we start now?"

Yan Ke waved his hand: "Princess, don't be in a hurry, let your subordinates eat for a while." He has been busy since he got up, and he has not had time to eat a bite of food. He is almost hungry.

While Yan Ke was eating the cake, Yan Xining quickly cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and put them in the wooden basin that had been prepared earlier.The chickens in his family died unexpectedly, and some chickens had bruises on their skins, which didn't look very good.

Yan Ke said with disgust: "Why is the chicken that Leng Jun sent today so bad? It's so thin, with bruises on its body, isn't it a dead chicken?"

Yan Xining was stabbed, and he struggled expressionlessly: "Let's talk chicken, let's talk civilized you and me."

Yan Ke was taken aback: "What?"

Yan Xining sighed aggrievedly: "This is not from Steward Leng, this is my chick. The wind and rain last night, the roof of the chicken coop was lifted off, and the chick was crushed to death by a brick. I couldn't bear to lose it, so I packed it up." Out."

Yan Ke swallowed the cake in his mouth, and he looked at the chicken in the basin seriously: "The subordinates said that this chicken has strange bones and is not an ordinary chicken, it must be delicious if it is crispy and tender."

Yan Xining: ...

Never expected that Yan Ke would even flatter him.

Every time Yan Xining pickled dishes, Yan Ke always looked at them very seriously.After Yan Xining added soy sauce, salt, minced ginger, sugar, a large spoonful of pepper powder and three small spoonfuls of soybean oil into the basin, Yan Ke couldn't help but be speechless: "Princess, you put a lot of seasonings, no wonder the things you make are so good eat."

Yan Xining smiled and said, "It's hard to say what everyone thinks. You think it's delicious, but others may not. Come on, you've been praising me all the time today, so you must have something to say."

Yan Ke gave a thumbs up: "As expected of the princess, you discovered all of this. Princess, can you make some more spicy snails? Brothers think that is exciting and enjoyable."

Yan Xining agreed, "Of course, but you have to help cut the snails."

Yan Kele said: "Okay, Princess, please help me cook two more pots later, that is so delicious."

As the chicken pieces are evenly mixed with the seasoning, the chicken is stained with sauce, and the bruises on the chicken skin can't be seen.

At this time, Yan Ke also finished eating: "Let's go, princess, let the subordinates check your physical fitness first."

Yan Xining followed Yan Ke's footsteps to the courtyard expectantly, and after running and jumping for a while according to Yan Ke's wishes, he took a horse stance in the courtyard.At first he didn't think it was difficult, but before it was time for a cup of tea, he was already staggering, and his legs felt as if they were not his own.

Yan Ke kneaded the muscles and joints of Yan Xining's limbs for a while, and when he stood up, he showed regret: "The princess has passed the best age for martial arts, and it is impossible to learn the level of my brothers. But This subordinate can teach you some basic self-defense skills, if you encounter bandits in the future, at least you won’t be so stupid as to throw yourself into a sandbag and get beaten.”

Yan Xining's legs were trembling: "When did I pounce on it and use it as a sandbag?"

Yan Ke cleared his throat in embarrassment: "Just... that time at the royal hunting ground, the princess rushed over to block the master's arrow. The master is afraid of accidentally hurting you, so he can only patiently wait for the opportunity."

A master like Ji Song would shoot arrows as soon as the opponent had an opening, but Yan Xining was particularly brave in fighting with the gangster, he used his body to block the assassin's vital parts firmly.Ji Song was cautious, and could only wait anxiously for the assassin to show his weakness after Yan Xining was exhausted.

In short, the reason why Yan Xining was beaten so badly was basically self-inflicted.

Yan Xining felt as if struck by lightning: "Sun!"

Yan Ke quickly comforted: "It's okay, as long as the princess works hard, self-protection will not be a problem. During this period of time, you should increase your physical fitness first. It is a good habit for the subordinates to see you running every morning. Starting today, the princess will Zama step to increase the strength of the lower body."

The strength of the lower body of a martial arts practitioner is very important. If the feet are weak, it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of the loopholes.Seeing that Yan Xining was already trembling, Yan Ke said tactfully: "Proceed step by step, and extend the time of the horse step a little bit. The princess is not a real practicing family, so you don't have to push yourself to the limit."

Yan Xining said sadly and angrily: "Guard Yan, you are overthinking. I haven't started pushing yet, and I'm almost at my limit." The muscles in his legs were so stiff that he couldn't hold it any longer.

Yan Ke was afraid of hurting Yan Xining's heart, so he encouraged: "Princess, don't underestimate yourself, your physical fitness is quite good, and you can rank among the recruits of Chi Ling Army."

Yan Xining: ...

At this time, Ji Tan ran up the small bridge excitedly holding a small basket of green plums: "Sister-in-law, I saw a big sea dongqing under the cherry tree, is that also yours...?"

Ji Tan's voice became weaker and weaker, and when he came to Yan Xining's side, the little prince didn't dare to speak anymore: "Sister-in-law, are you practicing martial arts?"

The princes have to learn both civil and martial arts from the beginning of their enlightenment. Regardless of Xiao Qi's young age, he has also experienced what Yan Xining has experienced.

Yan Xining gritted her teeth with a ferocious face: "Little Qi, good boy, I'll make fried chicken for you in a while."

Yan Ke said earnestly: "Princess, let's come here first. You can't become a master in one day, you have to persevere." Hearing this, Yan Xining's legs gave way, and if Yan Ke didn't pull it in time, he would have to lie down on the ground.

With Ji Tan present, Yan Ke didn't want to stay longer, he found a reason to leave Wenzhang Garden after a while, and when he left, he also took the big plate of leek pancakes in the kitchen.

After resting for a while, Yan Xining felt that her legs were regaining consciousness, but the dull soreness never dissipated.He can already guess the way he will walk tomorrow, it won't be any better than a crab.

Ji Tan squatted beside Yan Xining's legs, and he stretched out his small hands to hammer Yan Xining's legs thoughtfully: "Sister-in-law, practicing martial arts is very hard, Xiao Qi was punished by his master to hold a bow for half an hour, and the next day he could lift his arms." I can't get up. Sister-in-law, why can't you figure it out? You don't have to practice martial arts. There are so many guards in the palace, they will protect you."

Yan Xining touched Ji Tan's soft hair, he felt that if he told Ji Tan his real reason, Ji Tan would definitely laugh at him.So he thought of a lofty reason: "Because my sister-in-law has someone she wants to protect." He is also a human being, so it makes sense to want to protect himself, right?

However, Ji Tan understood another meaning, his eyes sparkled: "Is sister-in-law talking about the third brother?"

Ji Song is the only person in Prince Rong's mansion who has limited mobility, and Yan Xining is Princess Rong, so he must practice martial arts so hard to protect Ji Song.Ji Tan said with emotion: "The third sister-in-law is really kind to the third brother."

Faced with Ji Tan's pure eyes, Yan Xining felt a little embarrassed, and changed the subject: "The chicken nuggets should be marinated, can my sister-in-law make fried chicken for Xiao Qi?"

Ji Tan was very happy: "Okay!"

The chicken nuggets in the wooden basin were already fully flavored after being marinated in the sauce. At this time, Yan Xining took out a bowl of white noodles and a bowl of corn flour. He put the two flours in the wooden basin and stirred them evenly.Then I went to the cupboard to touch a few eggs, broke them and stirred them up, and soon half a bowl of golden egg liquid appeared in the rough porcelain bowl.

At this time, the main scene began. He took out a pair of clean long chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken. After shaking off the excess seasoning on it, he rolled it in a flour basin. A layer of white flour immediately appeared on the chicken.

After the first coat of flour, the chicken has to be rolled in the egg liquid, so that the chicken pieces that enter the flour basin again can be contaminated with more flour.At this time, the outer layer of the chicken is covered with flour, which is bigger than before.

Yan Xining put the chicken nuggets into a large plate on one side, letting the flour and egg liquid touch intimately for a while.After a while, there was a whole plate of chicken nuggets on the plate, and only then did he greet Bai Tao: "Light up the fire."

Bai Tao had already made preparations behind the stove. Hearing Yan Xining's order, the flint in his hand immediately ignited the thatch: "Master, the fire is on fire."

The soybean oil was heating up in the pot. When Yan Xining put the tip of the chopsticks into the oil pan and saw fine white bubbles coming out of the tip of the chopsticks, the temperature was enough.He picked up the chicken pieces from the bowl and slid them into the pan against the sides, and the boiling oil immediately covered the chicken pieces.White oily fumes evaporated from the pot, and at a glance, they were all big oil bubbles.

Ji Tan was only a little higher than the stove, he stood on tiptoe and looked into the pot: "Wow——"

He likes to hear the sound of "thud, thud, thud" when chicken nuggets are fried in the pot. Hearing this sound, he has expectations in his heart: "Sister-in-law, I really like your kitchen, and I also like your pot. .”

Yan Xining was overjoyed: "Hahahaha——" Ji Tan is really a cute child, look, how good at talking.

Through the golden soybean oil, Yan Xining saw that a layer of wrinkled flour shell quickly appeared on the surface of the chicken nuggets. At this time, he could not turn the chicken nuggets casually, otherwise the newly formed flour shell would be crushed.

After waiting for a while, a strong fried chicken aroma wafted from the pot. This aroma is so overbearing, it is so strong that it penetrates into people's mouth and nose, which cannot be ignored.Ji Tan's saliva was about to flood: "It's so fragrant, the fried chicken you cooked must be delicious, sister-in-law San."

Yan Xining smiled and said, "Don't worry, it hasn't been fried yet."

It wasn't until the tip of the chopsticks felt crispy when it touched the flour shell that Yan Xining confidently and boldly extended the strainer into the pot.Jian Li shook the chicken nuggets lightly, and the chicken nuggets that were stuck together quickly separated.

When the crispy shell on the outside of the chicken nuggets turned golden brown, Yan Xining fished them out and put them in the Shau Kei.

Ji Tan was so greedy that his saliva almost came out, but he still maintained the demeanor of a prince.As soon as Yan Xining lowered her head, she saw Ji Tan staring at Shau Kei eagerly like a puppy, the longing in her eyes was almost overflowing.

59. Crispy Salted Chicken

However, the chicken nuggets need to be re-fried to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. After the oil temperature in the pot rose, Yan Xining poured the chicken nuggets into the pot again.Fortunately, the re-frying time is shorter than the initial frying, and the color of the chicken nuggets becomes darker after a while.

Under Ji Tan's expectant eyes, the crispy salted chicken was officially cooked.The golden chicken nuggets are covered in a crispy shell, just out of the pan, with tiny bubbles of oil bubbling from the crispy shell.

The tempting aroma made Ji Tan and Bai Tao swallow their mouths, Yan Xining put the crispy salted chicken in the Shau Kei: "It's very hot now, you have to wait for a while."

After a while, Yan Xining carefully touched the chicken nuggets, the temperature of the chicken nuggets had dropped a little, Yan Xining greeted Ji Tan: "It's ready to eat, eat slowly, don't burn it."

Ji Tan carefully picked up a chicken nugget with his chopsticks, and with a little force on the chopsticks, the crispy shell on the surface of the chicken nugget made a nice "click" sound.Take a bite, and the light and crispy shell falls into the mouth with a full of crispy fragrance.

The chicken nuggets under the crispy shell are tender and full of gravy, and the gravy is so rich that it almost drips down after one bite.The well-seasoned chicken is salty and numb, with a delicious and rich taste.

After Ji Tan took a small bite, he let go completely, his mouth grew bigger, this time he bit more chicken.The delicious gravy was flowing in his mouth. At this moment, he didn't care about talking at all, he just wanted to enjoy this delicacy one mouthful after another.

Seeing Ji Tan eating so deliciously, Yan Xining smiled and patted his head: "How is it? Is the taste okay?"

Ji Tan just finished eating the first piece of salted crispy chicken, and he licked the grease remaining on his fingertips: "Xiaoqi has never eaten such a delicious chicken, sister-in-law, you are too good!"

The sense of accomplishment in Yan Xining's heart rose sharply. He pointed to Shau Kei and said to Ji Tan: "Fried chicken tastes good, but you can't eat too much at one time, or you won't want to eat it when you get bored. Sister-in-law will prepare some dipping sauce for you. See which one you like better."

Yan Xining prepared two kinds of dipping sauces, one is pepper and salt, and the other is chili noodles.After trying it, Ji Tan held the chili noodles and didn't let go: "Sister-in-law, this red dipping sauce is delicious and fragrant."

Yan Xining smiled: "It seems that our Xiaoqi is also a person who can eat spicy food, let's go outside and eat it, my sister-in-law fried the leftover chicken."

Ji Tan happily held the Shau Kei and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." Afterwards, he and Bai Tao happily ran to the eaves to enjoy the delicious food.

Crispy salted chicken tastes best just out of the pan, but it will lose its taste when it is cold.Yan Xining originally thought about frying the leftover chicken pieces after Ji Song came back, but he really didn't want to occupy a pot, so he wrapped the remaining chicken pieces in flour and egg liquid...

The aroma of fried chicken is really overbearing. Wen Zhangyuan fried a pot of chicken, and the aroma wafted over half of Rongwang Mansion.The guards sniffed, their mouths overflowing with saliva: "Princess must be cooking delicious food, we are lucky."

Ji Song was receiving officials from the Ministry of Industry in the main hall.A few days ago, these people were dissatisfied with him and asked for leave. Ji Song took advantage of the opportunity to let them take a long vacation, and took the opportunity to select a few young and promising people from the Ministry of Industry to temporarily take over the fourth department.

News came from Dali Temple yesterday that the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry had convincing evidence of his crime, and he could only spend the rest of his life in prison for the rest of his life.The officials who were at home became anxious. They dared to confront Ji Song before, but they felt that Ji Song had just arrived in the Ministry of Industry and needed them to do something. They wanted to use their status to suppress him.

But now that Shangshu has fallen, the Holy One directly assigns Ji Song full authority to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.They started to panic, if they didn't return to their posts, Ji Song would never let them go back again.

So this group of people waited at the gate of Prince Rong's mansion early in the morning, and they waited for a long time before seeing Ji Song.

Ji Song lowered his eyes and looked at the folder in his hand, and tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his right hand unhurriedly: "Li Langzhong, the former Japanese king asked someone to bring you a message, asking if your body can recover, and you said it will take some time." ..."

Li Langzhong, who was named, stood up quickly: "If you go back to the prince, the old minister is fine, and you can go back to the Ministry of Industry at any time."

Ji Song shook his head slightly and said sincerely: "It's not right. Li Langzhong has worked so hard for Chu Liao, and the Ministry of Industry still depends on you. I think you should go back to take care of your health first, and it won't be too late to return to the Ministry of Industry after your body fully recovers."

Li Langzhong's face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his head.He complained in his heart, he knew that when Ji Song gave the steps before, he would roll along the slope.Now being gagged by Ji Song with the same reason, he has suffering to say.

Ji Song had a calm face, but his eyes were filled with sarcasm.This group of people relied on the old and sold the old to him to show him off, and if anyone else would be suppressed by them.But it happened that they met him, he was never easy to talk to.

At this moment, Yan Ke walked past the entrance of the main hall with a big food box in his hand. His speed was so fast that the group of officials in the hall didn't notice.But Ji Song saw him shaking the food box towards himself, it seems that Yan Xining made delicious food for him to bring.

The corners of Ji Song's lips began to rise, and his whole body became gentler at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ji Song unhurriedly issued the order to evict guests: "I already know your thoughts, please go back to take care of your health and take care of your own family affairs. I will take a rest today, and I will not keep you here. Please go back. "

The officials of the Ministry of Industry left the main hall dejectedly, and after their backs disappeared, Yan Ke walked into the hall with a food box: "These people finally know how to be afraid, and this condescending appearance is really ridiculous."

Ji Song concealed the sarcasm in his eyes: "The Ministry of Industry is their back garden, they come and go whenever they want. It's a dream."

Yan Ke put the big food box in front of Ji Song: "Master must be hungry after spending time with them, please see the special crispy salted chicken that the concubine gave you! The crispy fragrance is delicious and the aftertaste is endless———"

Yan Ke opened the food box, and a tempting fragrance wafted out.Ji Song looked into the food box and saw a single chicken nugget lying on the bottom of the big plate.

Ji Song: ...

This time, he looked up at Yan Ke, with a faint smile: "There is only one piece, how do you know that the crispy fragrance is delicious and has an endless aftertaste?"
