Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

"Ahem, Commander, I completely understand your thoughts. I think this matter is of great importance, and it is indeed a good choice to hand it over to Ding'an. But we are in the port of Donghuang at this time. In this case, I think I want two people from you to accompany me to complete this negotiation."

Zhenhai forced down the corners of his mouth that kept rising because of the foreseeable small amount of money, and said as seriously as possible.

"Sure, who do you want to go with you?"

"Dingan and Wichita."

Zhenhai smiled and said:

"Ding'an has a keen sense of investment and is good at bargaining. Miss Wichita was the most injured before and has a more out-of-touch personality. Having her can reduce trouble. I had greeted another me in the construction room before. , I took the two of them there, I think I can understand our difficulties, and we will get twice the result with half the effort."

The corner of Yang Sikang's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Needless to say, the key to the matter lies in Wichita!

The severity of Wichita's injuries is obvious to all, and her personality is indeed relatively casual.

To put it simply, going to Wichita is responsible and unreasonable.

She only needs to go to that point, and Donghuang will have to think twice even if they want to bargain.

Wichita almost had a big problem while helping Donghuang in the battle, so where does the credit go?

What? bargain? Just say you can't speak!

If Wichita becomes dissatisfied and makes a fuss, you can leave it alone!

Needless to say, Zhenhai took these two people there herself, which highlighted her unreasonableness.

So to sum up in one sentence, Zhenhai brought Wichita and Ding'an there purely for robbery, but Donghuang was too embarrassed not to give them!

Zhenhai is negotiating with Zhenhai, who doesn’t know who is who? On his side, he put the blockbuster Wichita and Ding'an.

Finally, Yang Sikang was added as a backing.

Yang Sikang sighed, picked up Erbao, who was happily chewing the apple, and started to touch it.

With Zhenhai's idea, the rations of Dabao and Dabao will be reduced!

"Haha, don't worry. Since we are seeking cooperation, it is naturally a win-win situation!"

Zhenhai said with a smile.

A win-win situation is also the difference between who wins more.

The situation in Yixian was much simpler. After a group of people finished discussing here, everyone quickly went back to doing their own things.

Both Yixian and Ninghai wanted to help Yang Sikang cook, but Yang Sikang still refused.

After all, this was a dinner party to welcome them. Although the scale was smaller, there was no reason for them to cook.

Yang Sikang spent the rest of the afternoon in the kitchen.

Needless to say, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has been prepared for a long time. The duck legs, rabbit legs, pork belly, eggs and other ingredients that have been cooked and soaked in his carefully prepared exclusive brine have already absorbed the aroma.

The marinated ingredients can be cut directly and served cold, or mixed with a sauce or served dry for dipping.

And here at Yang Sikang, they can be added to subsequent cooking to become a high-quality ingredient with more flavor!

But for Yang Sikang, choosing the final dish is a big problem.

Dishes such as Buddha Jumping over the Wall and Gourd Duck are certainly excellent, complicated in cooking, and have special tastes. But when it comes to Donghuang cuisine, the first thing most people think of is the dishes with obvious local characteristics in the city where they live or their hometown. Mode.

Of course he is no exception.

After much thought, he finally chose a simple and common dish for this big dish.

Mapo tofu.

There are both simple and troublesome ways to make Mapo Tofu, and the version he chose is the one that uses minced beef.

Ingredients such as Sichuan peppercorns and peppers are processed in advance and dry-roasted in a pot until they break into pieces when pinched by hand. They are then crushed and sifted to obtain a more fragrant powder.

Add water to the pot and bring to a boil. During this period, quickly cut the tofu into pieces of suitable size, then scoop out the required bean paste and add an extra small amount of black bean paste on the cutting board and chop it together.

By this time, the water has basically boiled. Pour the tofu down and add a small amount of salt to make the tofu firmer, remove the beany smell and prevent it from breaking easily.

The next steps are easy.

Add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to heat, then add minced beef and stir-fry quickly over high heat.

Part of this minced beef is finely minced meat, and part is small particles, providing a different taste and richer aroma.

After stir-frying until fragrant, turn down the heat to low, add chopped bean paste, then add chopped green onion and ginger, continue to stir-fry and the aroma will soon permeate.

Pour the cooking wine along the edge of the pot while the fire is on. The high temperature can quickly heat the cooking wine so that it can evaporate faster and take away the odor in the meat without letting the temperature drop too much, leaving less wine flavor.

At this time, add sugar to enhance the freshness and neutralize part of the spiciness.

Stir well, add water to boil, add tofu, then add a small amount of dark soy sauce to adjust the color, and wait for it to simmer slowly in the next few minutes.

Then add the previously made Sichuan peppercorns and chili noodles, season with MSG to freshen it up again, and continue cooking.

Finally, add water starch in three times, thicken it in place and sprinkle in chopped green onion and a small amount of garlic sprouts, then put it on a plate and sprinkle it with a layer of peppercorns for the last time.

In this way, a mapo tofu dish is finally completed.

Although simple, it is full of flavor.

It is full of color and flavor. It is spicy and fragrant in the mouth and also has a higher temperature due to the thickening.

But as a well-known Sichuan dish, this hot feeling is also one of its flavors.

To be honest, using mapo tofu as the core is not very suitable.

After all, in the face of dishes like Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and Gourd Duck, Mapo Tofu is more or less out of place.

But so what?

The shipgirls are satisfied with this, and that's enough.

Everything else is secondary!

Although the preparation is simple, the quality of this dinner can be seen from the fact that Pinghai couldn't walk through it.

After the meal, when Yang Sikang was standing on the balcony, Zhenhai came over again.

Without asking about work, Zhenhai asked a question:

"Commander, were you from the Sichuan and Chongqing areas in your original world?"
