Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 11 Environment
The weather was bright and clear, the mountain wind was blowing, and it wasn't too hot. Gu Xiang was familiar with Huotou Camp, so he couldn't help but quietly stretched out his tentative little feet, preparing to improve his working environment.

For the first one, she took a few pieces of homemade mung bean cakes, and persuaded some helpers to bring some stones for her to lay the ground.

The Yongyi Army garrison is backed by a mountain, and there is a stream flowing in front of it. There are many flat and round stones without going far. Although the kitchen is not small, it is not a serious road construction. Simply laying the ground does not take much time.

When the ground became clean, Gu Xiang asked someone to find some discarded pottery, put a few flowers in his tent, and placed it on the table in the dining room.

While the flowers are swaying, the pots and pans are greasy and the black paint marks are particularly unsightly. Naturally, they have to be steamed, boiled, brushed and disinfected.

The chefs who were inexplicably sent around looked at each other in confusion, and felt that something was wrong, but Gu Xiang's tone was calm, his expression was calm, and he was tempting. They became very obedient for no reason, and what they should do when they recovered All done.

The only old Du with relatively high prestige...

Uh, old Du Li was standing outside the dining hall, sending Li Changsui away excitedly, weighing the reward from Lord Xia Guo, it was worth two taels of silver!

He hummed a little tune, no matter how he looked at it, he was satisfied: "Little ones, give me some energy, Li Changsui explained that the Duke has eaten well these two days, everyone will be rewarded, and the salary will be doubled at the end of the month."

There were cheers all around, and Lao Du bowed to Gu Xiang, "It's time to work and cook!"

All the chefs seemed relaxed.

Recently, they are almost worried to death. The superiors have repeatedly put pressure on them and scolded them at every turn, but what can they do?
That's all the ingredients are, and the grain transport officials can't wait to add three catties of grass seeds to two catties of corn.

Do you want to make such things into delicacies from mountains and seas?Dream faster.

All the cooks felt sorry for each other, and couldn't help turning their heads to look in Miss Gu's direction.

Unexpectedly, the scene that would only appear in a dream was sent to the eyes by a young and beautiful woman.

Mustard green buns, small wontons with wild vegetables, pork pie...

Obviously they are all the same thing, other cooks are worried when they see those ingredients, but Chef Gu can prepare a lot of dishes in one go, and everything is delicious.

They all began to worry that they would spoil the appetite of those soldiers!
The cook felt his knees go weak for a moment. Seeing Gu Xiang frowning staring at the oil stains on the stove, a few young men rushed over to scrub it vigorously.

Others are also busy working hard.

Gu Xiang didn't want to make a high profile, but looking at the stained stove, the muddy floor, and the dirty, oily hair, hands and faces of the chefs, she suddenly felt that there was no place to stand.

This is the kitchen of the military barracks, how can the soldier's stomach survive after eating?I don't know how many people will lose their heads for delaying the errand of building the river.

What's more, when she cooks, she wants to eat herself. Looking at the dirt on the stove, how can she eat it!
In short, this hygiene issue must be taken seriously no matter what.

Besides, the environment for eating is also an important joint for enjoying food.

When diners see a clean and clean stove and use sterilized bowls and chopsticks, the psychological bonus will make them more enjoyable and satisfied.

The top and famous restaurants in later generations must have a unique environment bonus, and many diners will even check in specifically for the environment.

The kitchen and dining hall have changed from old to new, and chefs have gradually changed their habits to keep their sites clean.

There were also many cooks who felt very uncomfortable and quickly trimmed their messy hair and beards, so as not to make themselves too dirty.

Only then did Gu Xiang have a clear idea.

After tossing about in the canteen, Gu Xiang loosened his shoulder blades, went back to the dormitory to rest while he was free, and packed his belongings by the way.

After these two days of tidying up, her tent is no longer as simple as it was when she first came here. A long table was placed under the tree outside the tent, a few wooden plinths, wooden chairs were placed, and a fence was erected outside. Go catch some chickens and ducks and come back.

The small kitchen on the east side is set up alone, and it is still relatively simple, only made of linoleum and wood, the top of the window can be opened, and the light is very bright.

There is a small oil press on the west side.

It was built by Gu Xiang entrusting Lao Du with the help of artisans in the army.

She is more interested in these ancient instruments. She learned about them when she visited the museum. The craftsmen in the army are very good at their craftsmanship. Moreover, the structure of this thing is simple and there is not much difficulty at all. Gu Xiangyi said that the craftsmen only spent half a day making it .

Although the whole set of machines looks rough at first glance, it is very light, not bulky, and easy to use.

That night, Gu Xiang squeezed out a small can of rapeseed oil with his feet.

Lao Du and many generals in Huotouying were very greedy for this thing. Lao Du's uncle was an oil seller, and he vaguely heard about this kind of oil press from his uncle, but he didn't expect that he would be able to see it one day. .

There is a workshop with this technology, but the oil press is regarded as a family treasure, and it is kept secret.

Of course, what he wants is definitely not Gu Xiang's reduced and simplified one. The amount of oil extracted from this thing is too small, enough for Gu Xiang's own family to eat, and it is a drop in the bucket for the brave army.

Gu Xiang didn't point to the oil press to make money. Besides, without the help of artisans in the army, she couldn't come out by herself. It is also good to change the favor.

There are several three-story wooden shelves opposite the oil press, and on the shelves are the rapeseed oil that Gu Xiang just squeezed out. She also mixed two cans of peanut oil into it, anyway, no one knows how much she squeezed.

In addition to rapeseed oil, there are several jars of sauces and pots of peppers.

The peppers have produced bright red fruits, which are really beautiful.

Gu Xiang reached out and touched the beautiful fruit, planning to spare some time every night to open the field outside the tent and transplant the peppers there.

Not only chili, but many spices she brought can be used as seeds.

She wanted to grow some spices in the village early in the morning, but she was busy and lazy. Besides, everyone in the village knew Gu Xiang well, so she was worried that the action would be too big to attract suspicion.

Moreover, there are more than a dozen boxes of each kind of seasoning she wholesales, and she feels that it is enough for a while.

It wasn't until now that she was pushed to work as a cook in the Bravery Army that she felt a sense of urgency.

In terms of cooking skills, not counting the juicy fish balls given by the system, she is better than Lao Du and others because she knows more recipes and is well-informed. After all, those who are proficient in cooking techniques are all from Bianliang Restaurant Famous chefs, Lao Du and the others don't know it, and the recipes are treasures that can be passed down in the family, and they will not be passed on to anyone who is not their own.

But this is good, if you want to really show it, you need to rely on various modern seasonings.

But the big pot in the barracks can cook hundreds of people's meals at a time, and the seasonings she brought back in modern times can't afford such a large amount of consumption.

The good condiments in the system mall are even more abundant, and they are magical, but even if she gradually becomes rich and powerful, it is not worthwhile to spend food points on condiments.

Wouldn't it be better to buy more skills?
The art of cooking is broad and profound, steaming, stewing, grilling, grilling, frying, cooking, everything is knowledge, and it is difficult to learn quickly. In this regard, the ability of the system is the real magic.

Spices that can be made by ourselves should be made by ourselves, spices that can be grown should be grown, and only those that are difficult to make by ourselves should be bought from the mall. Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of our nation.
