Chapter 293 Crystal meat and sunshine girl
The box is big and heavy.
You can tell at a glance that it was filled with food, which felt like three huge treasure chests.
What delicious food will be made by Teacher Jiang Yun?
Just as Xia Kui and Dafu opened the lunch box with curiosity, a crystal clear light emitted from the lunch box!
Light? How can there be light?
In an instant, Xia Kui and Dafu's eyes suddenly widened, and then they looked at the lunch main dish placed in the largest food box with a surprised look like a famous painting.
How should it be described...it is a plate of "frozen meat" with red skin and white skin, smooth and crystal clear, like crystal clear heads.
The frozen meat was cut to the size of a finger, and then it was placed in the lunch box into the shape of a pig. It even formed a small pig nest with shredded ginger next to the pig, which looked both beautiful and cute.
Looking at this very unique cold dish, Dafu took a deep breath and asked in surprise: "Wow, it's so beautiful! What kind of dish is this?"
"This is called 'Crystal Meat', which is a traditional famous dish in the Su cuisine system and is very suitable for eating on such occasions."
When Jiang Yun mentioned the plate of meat he made when he got up early in the morning, he couldn't help swallowing slightly because this thing was really appetizing.
"Crystal Meat", also known as "Zhenjiang Meat", is a very special cold dish.
It uses good pig's trotters as raw materials, and marinated with salt and mixed with green onion, ginger, rice wine and other seasonings. Stew it over low heat until crispy and then condensed by freezing.
Because pig trotters contain a lot of gelatin, after freezing the soup together, a beautiful braised soup crust will be formed.
The outer skin jelly is wrapped with the crispy pig's trotter inside, which tastes mellow and fresh, oily and smooth, fat but not greasy.
Although I had told Xia Kui that meat was not suitable for eating outside, this kind of rind-frozen meat dish is another special case.
After all, this dish is nothing special when it is hot, and it has to be cooled to have a unique flavor.
In addition to the "crystal meat" as the main dish, there are also "seed sauce tofu" and "cold soybean sprouts" as the side dish. They are also some dishes that taste better the longer they are left, and they are also delicious when eaten cold.
Of course, although the dishes are cold, Jiang Yun still packed some hot rice in a heated lunch box.
It feels really... amazing to eat with hot rice with cold dishes!
So when Xia Kui clamped the meat and shredded ginger, put it in her mouth with balsamic vinegar, the rich oily and sweet meaty aroma in her mouth immediately sank her on the spot.
"Mmmmm, it's so delicious! I didn't expect that I could have such delicious food on the way!"
"Really, this dish is delicious, much better than the 'Salou' I made at home!"
“‘Salou’? What is ‘Salou’?”
"It is a raw marinated meat made of pork belly. It is marinated with salt and something and sliced it directly into slices and eaten raw with wine. However, the taste is not as delicious as this crystal meat."
Raw... Raw pickled pork belly is eaten raw with wine?
Hearing this, Xia Kui felt her hair stand up, and then quickly lowered her head and ate the rice hard, as if she didn't want to imagine that terrible scene.
In this way, the three of them ate and drank, chatted from time to time, played cards from time to time, and watched TV series or funny videos from time to time.
Before we knew it, eight or nine hours passed quietly.
When Dafu realized it, the sky outside the high-speed rail was gradually getting darker, and they soon arrived at the destination, "Fushu Market".
After getting off the bus, Xia Kui stood on the familiar platform in her hometown, turned to the two of them and smiled, "Dingdeng! Welcome to the food capital Buddha Hand! I hope you can have a pleasant holiday here!"
"The Food Capital? Is it here?"
Seeing Dafu's puzzled look, Jiang Yun smiled and patted her head, explaining with a smile: "Fushu Market is one of the four major food capitals in China and is also a representative area of southern food."
"Is that so, it seems very powerful."
"Of course, although the city is not big, there are many delicious restaurants. Any inconspicuous small restaurant may hide its dragon and tiger."
Seeing that Teacher Jiang Yun had snatched his job, Xia Kui said with anger: "Teacher Jiang Yun, do you seem to have been here?"
"I did come here, and I have lived here for half a year."
"Hey? Why haven't you said it before?"
"It's not that I didn't say it, it's just that you didn't ask... In short, go to your house first and say hello to your parents before you say it."
Against Xia Kui's dejected expression, Jiang Yun smiled and pulled up the two ladies, walked out of the high-speed rail station to stop a taxi, and drove towards the home address that Xia Kui mentioned before.
Foshou Market is not a large area, so it is not far from the high-speed rail station to Xia Kui's home.
Not long after, the three-story single-family house that looked very ordinary appeared in everyone's sight.
Just as Xia Kui and others dragged the box toward the other side, a little girl who seemed to have been waiting at the door of the building was the first to see their figures, and then quickly ran towards them.
Looking closely, the girl who was running towards her quickly in fluffy slippers touched her about twelve or twelve years old, and she looked a bit similar to Xia Kui... This should be Xia Kui's sister, Xia He.
"Sister! Welcome back!" After running over, Xia He rushed over and gave her a big hug, with a happy expression on her face.
Is this...Xia Kui's sister's sister?
Looking at the girl who was completely different from Xia Kui and exuded a sunny atmosphere all over her body, Jiang Yun and Dafu couldn't help looking at her, with an expression of looking at an alien.
This is not because Xia He looks very strange, but because the child gives people the feeling that he is completely different from Xia Kui.
What kind of person is Xia Kui? After being with her for so long, let alone Jiang Yun, even Dafu could see Xia Kui's character.
To put it simply, this guy is a salted fish.
If no one pushed her behind her back or took the initiative to ask her to do something, Xia Kui would keep lying there and pretending to be dead.
Even in interpersonal communication, Xia Kui always pretends to be sunny and cheerful. In fact, she is very depressed inside. She can always feel the look of "so tired, I want to go back and sleep" in her eyes.
However, this little sister Xia He who looks 70 or 80% similar to Xia Kui, but is a few years younger than her. It is completely the opposite.
After hugging his sister with an awkward look, Xia He quickly turned his head to look at Jiang Yun and Dafu beside him, nodding to them, "It's Mr. Jiang Yun and Sister Dafutir, right? Hello! I am Sister Kui's sister, my name is Xia He!"
Judging from her tone and attitude that is full of vitality even in winter, Xia He is like a ingredient that sucks away all her sister's energy. Her sunny and cheerful appearance is definitely not something that can be pretended.
One is pickled vegetables and salted fish, and the other is sunny girl.
