Chapter 73 Disgusted ingredients
I remember that when I first met Liu Li, she was still soaking in the water. She saw it on the way home, then jumped into the river, dragged it ashore, and took it home.
When the family changed her clothes, they realized that the one they saved was actually a girl. At that moment, their parents had an immoral idea, which was to raise the girl and then serve as his child bride.
Who knew that later, by chance, the wife disappeared and she had an extra sister. For Xu Huang, who had lost her relatives, the woman who had concealed her gender from the outside was the only existence in this world that he could rely on! At the same time, he was also in this world who had to protect his comprehensive existence!
However, after learning that their enemies, those men in black, might have something to do with Wanshiwu. He knew very well that to fight against such a huge existence as Wanshiwu, either live in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests, or can only become the object that Wanshiwu cannot easily shake. The doorman is absolutely unpromising, and seclusion is not his dream, so only by joining the army is hope!
There was an opportunity in front of me, and the one who gave him this opportunity was now Yijie’s employer and landlord.
To be honest, even though I knew that the two of them lived under the same roof, I was afraid that the owner would not know the true gender of Sister Yi, but I don’t know why this feeling made him feel so unhappy.
Perhaps, subconsciously, he still subconsciously believed that Liu Li was his wife. Or, after five years of getting along, the wood of the past began to become enlightened, or was he in love with Liu Li over and over again?
"Then, we still have more than two hours left. The task is very heavy. Those who kill chickens and sheep must also deal with fish. First of all, the five sheep must be slaughtered. Take out the internal organs for me to clean them. Don't waste the sheep's blood. Find a sacrificial dish to raise it!" Wang Yong looked directly at the people present.
"What are you doing with sheep blood? You're not planning to drink it?" Dian Wei couldn't help but frown.
"The medicinal and nutritional value of sheep blood is also pretty good, and the key is that the taste is also very good, as long as you can make it!" Wang Yong said with a smile. When eating mutton noodles or mutton noodles in later generations, he would add a portion of sheep blood to it, which would be delicious with smooth and frozen.
Since ancient times, China has had the habit of eating animal blood or bird blood, such as duck blood vermicelli soup, hair blood strong, pig blood soup... More high-end ones, drinking turtle blood and deer blood raw, is often a good product for strengthening and yang.
"How unpalatable that?!" Just looking at Dian Wei's disgusting look, you know that there are no such recipes in this world.
"That's okay, just pack it back! Liu Li, Fengxiao, I'll have a good time tomorrow morning!" Wang Yong said with a smile.
"Oh...um..." Liu Limu replied blankly, obviously hesitating.
"This... well, okay!" Guo Jia didn't know what to say. When he thought of eating sheep blood, he was still resistant. However, reason told her that the sheep blood made by Wang Yong must be different, and he finally responded.
"It turns out that Fengxiao understands me the best! You're okay with peace of mind. If it's not delicious, I won't force you!" Wang Yong smiled, "Then, let's start! Dian Wei and I are responsible for handling the sheep, you guys will solve the chicken first!"
"I understand!" After receiving the order, the four of them immediately responded.
"Shop owner!" Wenming stepped forward, "Depending on the situation, do you want to temporarily arrange two kitchen assistants? Speaking of which, I have the contact method of three kitchen assistants in the yamen before."
"Hmm? Are there any other chefs in the yamen before?" Wang Yong was surprised and thought that only Guo Jia was the only one who worked as a chef.
"Of course there will be chefs and chefs in the government office..." Guo Jia came forward to remind him, "It was just that the food was short of food before and there was a shortage of funds. The key was that the chef was very arrogant and refused to find a way to make the wheat and black beans delicious. The lord was so angry that he dismissed all three chefs."
"Since the Lord has been dismissed, I will certainly not use it anymore! But Wenming, you are right, there is a little insufficient staff, can you find another one or two chefs? Just a junior chef is enough!" Wang Yong thought for a while.
"No problem. In fact, as the owner of the store, as long as he speaks, not to mention the junior chef, the intermediate chef is afraid that he will come to help for free." Wen Ming smiled, "After all, being able to observe Elder Yang's disciple's cooking at close range is also a great benefit for many chefs."
To put it simply, it is a stealing master. Even if you cannot directly use the recipes, knife skills, seasoning and heat, or even an understanding of umami flavor, you can still see it carefully. Because there is a lack of sufficient guidance and education, many people only know the concept of umami flavor but not the reason. As long as you give them a chance, maybe another senior chef will be born in the future.
"Okay, I need a helper to get in place within half an hour. Can I do it?" Wang Yong asked.
"Don't worry, we're the house of everything!" Wenming smiled and turned around and left.
"Then, slaughter the sheep first!" Wang Yong came to the animal pen in the kitchen, grabbed a sheep, and came to a place where other sheep could not see. The slaughter process should not be seen by them, otherwise they would be nervous or even afraid. When they were nervous, the capillaries would break, and the meat would eventually become much worse.
The so-called humane slaughtering actually has a large role in ensuring that the meat is more tender!
Wang Yong took out a sharp knife and stabbed the sheep directly into the head. After stirring, his brain was directly destroyed. The sheep suddenly collapsed on the ground. Then he cut a knife in his throat and signaled Dian Wei to take the gutter to bleed. Then he lifted up his two hind hooves, letting the blood flow out from the gutter and poured it into the gutter.
"Owner, I think you should really think carefully about it. How can this thing be eaten?" Looking at the sheep blood in the container, Dian Wei said that she was a little nauseous. She might not be afraid of killing people, but it was really difficult to let her eat the blood into her stomach.
"It's up to me to decide whether to do it or not, but you can make a decision whether to eat or not!" Wang Yong shrugged, "But then, don't regret what you said now!"
"This... well..." Dian Wei was a little confused. Wang Yong's cooking skills were still guaranteed. If he wanted to give up, he would be reluctant to let it go. If that's the sheep blood really tastes good, wouldn't he suffer a loss?
"The banquet was attended by more than 20 civil and military officials in the entire yamen. As the second main course, it takes at least three to meet the needs. The other two are reserved. If they are not used, they will be added directly to the menu of our store tomorrow!" Wang Yong began to peel and rift. One sheep was quite weighty. Everyone divided the three sheep, and adding other dishes was enough.
Buying two more sheep is nothing more than insurance. Besides, it is rare to be a little more abundant, so I plan to treat myself well.
"The smell of mutton is so strong, so it needs to be preserved?" Xu Huang asked curiously. The smell of mutton is very strong, and it is usually treated at a low price and can barely be eaten, but the taste is definitely not good.
"Boy, as long as it can eat the ingredients in this world, there is always a way to cook them delicious!" Wang Yong said with a smile. Especially in the magical country of China, eating this piece is really beyond imagination.
Xu Huang was still young and couldn't understand Wang Yong's words. He just felt that he was not wise and continued to help him.
After touching for about ten minutes, perhaps because Wang Yong started too quickly, one of the sheep had been dealt with. After doing this, Wang Yong put away his knife and looked at Dian Wei and Xu Huang: "You have seen all the process, and you can deal with the other two, can you do it?"
"Okay! It's just that, no one can help pretend to be sheep's blood!" Dian Wei nodded, then shook his head and said.
"I'll help!" A familiar voice came, Wang Yong turned his head and looked, and a girl with two ponytails came to the kitchen.
"Dezu? Why are you here?" Wang Yong looked at the other party curiously. The visitor was his junior sister Yang Xiu.
"Grandpa has told Governor Cao that I, a genius with the qualification of a second-grade junior chef, will serve as the chef. So I will report to the store starting tomorrow and I will give more advice in the future, Master Chef!" Yang Xiu said reluctantly.
How could she not know what grandfather thought, she is a genius! But she was very unhappy with this Wang Yong, perhaps because this person is neither big nor young, or suddenly became his senior brother, or maybe because of this person, he made him lose his composure...
In short, even if she finds an ugly man to marry for the rest of her life, she will never fall in love with this guy! But she didn't know at all that she had just set up a FLAG for herself.
"Okay, come and help!" Wang Yong nodded and gave a direct order when he heard this.
"You really don't know how to be polite!" Yang Xiu pouted in anger, and then he helped to fill the blood obediently. Even if he was angry, his good qualities were the consciousness of the children of aristocratic families. "What's going on? What are you going to do with these sheep blood? A fishy and smelly thing!"
"Of course I ate it!" Wang Yong said with a smile.
"What a joke!" Yang Xiu yelled directly, "How can you eat this thing? It tastes very strong and smelly, okay?"
"Oh?" Wang Yong joked while curling the sheep in his hand, "As a genius, can't you even think of a way to cook sheep's blood?"
"Ask, ask... the question is!" Yang Xiu retorted directly, "How barren are our food? It has fallen to the point where we want to eat sheep's blood?!"
"It has nothing to do with poverty. Human exploration of delicious food is endless!" Wang Yong replied. Of course, a lot of dark dishes will be born in this process, and this cannot be denied. However, if you don't even have the courage to clear mines, then the cooking skills of this world will probably have stagnated.
"Speaking of this, what you are preparing now should be the main course? How do you plan to prepare the soup before?" Yang Xiu simply changed the topic.
"It's also preparing!" Wang Yong stuffed the sauce into the sheep's belly, then applied salt to the outer skin, and put some fresh chili leaves if possible, but if there is no conditions, you can put some rosemary.
The special aroma of rosemary can improve the freshness of mutton. The key is to eliminate the greasiness of mutton. Of course, there are also alternative items, that is fresh tea. Unfortunately, Wang Yong does not have fresh tea on hand, and he is reluctant to use the chili leaves, so he can only follow the kingly route and add some fresh rosemary to enhance the flavor (or not added).
In fact, many Western cuisine seasonings have been used for Chinese food for a long time. For example, basil, which is amazingly mentioned in "The Spirit of the Medicine King", has been recorded in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In China, basil is also called "fish coriander" and "Nine-layer Tower". It is used in many Chinese cuisine recipes, and it is not a rare thing.
For example, if you search for the "Nine-layer Tower" on Taobao, you will find that a lot of fresh basil is sold at 20/catties. In one cooking, you don’t use much of this thing. In some rural areas, they even grow directly, and you can pick some when you need it.
"What is the soup before? Tell me the recipe and I'll help!" Yang Xiu asked casually.
"Hams and Radish Soup!" Wang Yong didn't take it seriously and replied directly. Since the viscera dishes have not become mainstream yet, he is not worried that others will care about this recipe.
"You! Do you know that the smell of mutton is very strong!" Yang Xiu looked at Wang Yong in disbelief. At this moment, she even wondered if there was something wrong with Wang Yong's taste.
"I just want its taste! Haha, I don't want it if it's not strong!" Wang Yong laughed. The internal organ dishes do have very heavy taste, but as long as they are cooked properly, this strong taste will become the supreme delicacy.
Think about sauerkraut fat intestines, Jiuzhuan fat intestines, fried pork liver with leeks, old pork lovers' noodles, Maoxuewang, duck blood vermicelli soup, and even the pig rice and duck rice in Cantonese roasted wax have a unique flavor.
Perhaps after today, many people's sense of taste will expand to a new level! Wang Yong thought secretly.
"Okay, you are the chef, I can't tell you!" Yang Xiu found that Wang Yong was serious, "If something happens, I won't take responsibility! Really, why do I want to help you do such a thing?!"
"Good peace of mind!" Wang Yong had already started skewers on the grill. He had already cut a few cuts on the thick shoulder meat so that he could be roasted thoroughly when the barbecued. At the same time, tie the whole lamb in the spine and remove it after the grilling is done.
After doing this, I put it on the grill and started to turn it back and forth until it is cooked thoroughly, it will take at least one or two hours. The next step is physical work, which does not require too much professional knowledge, so I called two soldiers and asked them to rotate the grill in rotation.
Wang Yong is responsible for watching the fire. When appropriate, he brushes it with grease to lock in the moisture inside the mutton, making the grilled mutton crispy and delicious on the outside, but the meat inside is tender and smooth.
When I was free, I started to wash my hands, and then washed them with the sheep offal. Halfway through the washing, Wenming came back again, with three of them around him, which is said to be a chef with a junior chef qualification of more than three grades and a junior chef.
"Help remove the chicken's feathers and remove the internal organs and set aside. I personally handle the fish. I have prepared the braised ingredients packs, and I have to cook the braised ingredients..." Wang Yong was not polite and ordered one by one. The three of them went from initial doubt to quickly starting to actively help.
Here, they saw too many novel affairs. If they said that at the beginning, they came to see the knowledge because of Yang Ci's identity, but now they really want to deeply observe the cooking skills contained in this cooking.
Time passes little by little, and the banquet is about to begin, and the soup is ready. Based on the sheep belly, sheep heart and sheep intestines, boil beef bone soup, then boil the mutton offals, along with onion and ginger over high heat, then turn to medium heat. Wash the white radish and cut into shreds, put them in the soup, wait until the shreds are cooked, add salt and white pepper to the pot.
If you need to decorate it, after putting it out of the pot and serving it with a plate, add some chopped coriander in the middle of the soup.
"I have prepared a portion for everyone!" Wang Yong divided the amount needed by the officials outside, and then pointed to the remaining part in the pot, "Come and drink whenever you have time!"
"Can we do it too?" The number of soldiers who had increased to six had chosen a representative and came out to ask with a little restrained attitude.
"Of course, you can't let you work in vain, right?" Wang Yong replied directly.
"Sir, benevolence!" They helped roast the lamb, even if they just helped turn the grill at the rhythm, the fragrance came out and their stomachs were so hungry that they were roaring.
"Okay, let me try it, is this thing OK?" Yang Xiu came forward directly, picked up her portion, and started to taste it.
Chapter completed!
