Assistant God of Life in Another World

As a food lover, Fang Tian had read many food novels in his previous life.And in these novels, once it involves "mountain and wild" things, such as wild boars, hares, wild vegetables, etc., after cooking, the book will describe "the taste is delicious and incredible".

In fact, as long as anyone who really lives in the mountains, or has experience in eating in the mountains, knows that the description of "beautiful" in such novels is not so beautiful in reality.

In Fang Tian's previous life, due to the advent of the era of large-scale industry, various biological hormones and additives were poured into all kinds of food, so that people, especially those in the city, might have to add a modification ——People who have reached a certain standard of living and started to pursue a healthy diet hate all kinds of harmful processed foods.

In this case, they began to love green and yearn for the original ecology.

But this longing from afar...

In the previous life, there was a saying circulating on the Internet called "ideal is plump, reality is skinny."

The same is true with regard to diet.

Just like wild vegetables.

Compared with artificially grown vegetables, wild vegetables have many shortcomings. <Plucked in the sky, after the season, you can’t eat it because it is too bitter; some wild vegetables must be rinsed in boiling water several times before cooking, otherwise there will be many things that affect the taste or hinder digestion; some wild vegetables must be used The right meat is matched with it, otherwise it will be too scraped, and the stomach will feel uncomfortable after eating...

So many kinds, countless.

Just like now, every time he goes out for a picnic and designs dishes, Fang Tian will miss all kinds of vegetables, especially Chinese cabbage.

Compared with all kinds of wild vegetables that are too skinny, how plump Chinese cabbage is!

And a simple chowder, pork vermicelli and Chinese cabbage.Coupled with potato tofu or frozen tofu, there is no need for a special first-class chef, just a little cooking skill.After cooking and serving it steaming hot, it immediately becomes a heart-warming food with an attractive aroma that hits people's heart.

What about game cooking?Especially Fang Tian, ​​Quan Ye——

There are no seasonings.There is no good salt even refined salt, no cooking oil with a variety of mild flavors, no combination of various home-cooked vegetables, no...

There is no need to list too many, just one "cooking oil without various flavors and mild flavors".Chef Fang can be knocked down.

Not to mention peanut oil, rapeseed oil, and sunflower oil, there is no edible vegetable oil here at all.This is nothing, vegetable oil itself does not have the fragrance of animal oil.

In the previous life, although many experts analyzed from various aspects, animal oil was not as healthy as vegetable oil.But many chefs still prefer animal oil, because many foods are cooked with vegetable oil.It just doesn't taste like it should.

on the other hand.Fang Tian himself is skeptical about the claim that vegetable oil is healthier than animal oil.

The reason is simple. In the evolution of organisms, animals have gone further than plants. This is an indisputable fact.But as a high-level existence.Animal fats naturally have more and richer elements than vegetable fats.

If you simply judge it from the smell, animal oil is better than vegetable oil.

And this smell discerns.Fang Tian has always believed that it is a biological instinct evolved by human beings in the long evolution process.Instinctively tend to be good and repel bad.

But this world, or this place, what kind of animal oil is used!

lard?

There are, but not many.

Fang Tian doesn't know how pigs in this world are raised, but he can be sure that they are not fed with grain.

In the primitive ecology, under the planting mode without chemical fertilizers, compound fertilizers, pesticides, and high-quality seeds, it is impossible to produce rich food. Taking wheat as an example, a thousand catties per mu is completely a fantasy, and people can't even imagine it. Dare to think so outrageous.

In this case, feeding pigs with grain, perhaps only nobles or even big nobles can afford to waste it.

Therefore, the conventional pigs here basically only have lean meat and no fat.At the pork market in Hongshi Town, do you want to buy a piece of fatty meat?no way!

In a catty of pork, nine ounces of fine meat and half liang of fat meat are "extremely high-quality meat", and the half liang of fat meat is mostly the kind that can't squeeze out any oil.

All other fat meat is carefully picked out, sold at a high price, and used for oil extraction.But this oil is not the same as the lard in Fang Tian's previous life. Although it is fragrant, there is also a faint but not negligible fishy smell mixed in it.

So much so that when it is used for cooking, the taste is greatly defeated.

This is one of them.

What's more, people generally can't afford pure lard.Is it true that lard is ridiculously expensive?No, but the output is seriously insufficient, which cannot supply the corresponding consumption.

Take Fenglin Compound as an example, what kind of oil do you usually eat?

The answer: mixed oil.

Don't hares have fat on them?Cut it off and take the oil.

Isn't there fat on the pheasant?Cut it off and take the oil.

Isn't there fat on wild ducks?Cut it off and take the oil.

……

So in the end, no one can tell how many kinds of animal fats are mixed in the oil, at least Aunt Rowling, who presides over the cooking, can't tell. In fact, before Fang Tian, ​​no one paid attention here at all. Or care about it.

Who cares about this?You're full, aren't you?

Therefore, Fang Tian has been bitter for a long time.If it is really possible to use tea leaves to remove the fishy smell and extract a kind of "jing oil" without fishy smell, it will definitely satisfy people's appetites.

Let's talk about the present.

The charcoal fires in several large ovens are glowing.Owen and the others got firewood, and in Fang Tian's view, it was definitely a big deal. ——Where there are trees, they will never take branches; where there are big trees, they will never take small trees.

So what is currently in the grill is neatly chopped pine wood. Of course, wood that is more than a hundred years old is a must.

The crackling sound of burning is accompanied by the rapid seepage and combustion of pine oil in the pine wood, as well as the unique aroma of pine wood, which is refreshing.

The pine mushrooms carefully selected by Fang Tianjing were cut into slices, and then strung on thinner pine branches, rinsed with oil and sprinkled with salt.Move to the grill, and then, the fragrance and aroma will be mixed together.Go straight out.

In fact, a better way to cook matsutake mushrooms is to fry them in a pan.But when it comes to oil, broiling wins out a lot.Rinse a little bit of oil on top, after roasting over high fire.The oil and fishy smell are all removed, but only the strong fragrance is tangy.

This may be the most suitable food cooking method under the existing conditions.

Of course, Fang Tian assigned the task of grilling to the little ones to do it themselves.Self-reliant, oh no, self-reliant.In addition, the poria cocos was peeled and crushed into fine powder, and this task was handed over to the little loli, who then made a cake with water, and was fried in a pan by Owen and other big guys.

In fact, the taste of this original Poria cocos cake is not very good, that is, it has a flavor.Really delicious and nourishing Poria Cake.Some other ingredients must be added.Fang Tian is of course not in the mood to do any research and development at the moment.

The tasks were assigned, and Fang Tian himself started to cook the meat.

Put the processed whole pheasant and hare into the boiling water pot and cook for some time.Take it out, that's the first step.

Put the tea in boiling water.Cook again, this is the second step that is not usually available.

Then put it into the boiling water.Cook for the last time, which is the necessary third step after the second step.

After three boils, although the meat is not crispy, it is fully cooked.But just right, chop it into small pieces, put it in the pot, and stew it with the pine mushroom slices until it's overcooked, and then sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt, this dish is ready.Of course, before refining fat to extract oil, that is a must.

Sharjah watched carefully from beginning to end.

In fact, it's not just him, Owen and others, as well as a group of little guys, are also looking at it from time to time.

However, this dish did not disappoint their viewing and scrutiny.

As the cooking was nearing completion, a scent that they had never smelled before gradually permeated the entire pine forest domineeringly.

They don't know how to describe it, only Fang Tian knows, this may be the first time in this world, pure meat aroma without the slightest fishy smell.

And when the cooking was finally finished and put into a bowl, even Fang Tian was drunk.

This is a taste that has not been seen for a long time, and it can even be said that it is a taste that has improved to a higher level than in the previous life.

Even Fang Tian didn't expect that after removing the fishy smell, the most primitive game stewed together, its fragrance and taste are so mouth-watering. <God, that's how it feels.The nose sniffed non-stop, and then ate, one mouth, and those little guys were about to go crazy, and their movements accelerated rapidly.

As for Owen and the other big guys, they only cared about eating and didn't even give a single comment.

Only Sharjah, after eating a piece of meat, eating two sliced ​​mushrooms, and drinking three mouthfuls of clear soup, held a bowl and approached Fang Tian and said with a sigh: "There is such a taste in the world!"

And Fang Tian, ​​after taking a sip of the soup, knew, or rather confirmed, that his experiment was successful.

In the world of gourmet food, raw materials and cooking are good at each field. It is difficult to develop skills without seasoning, and it is not long without seasoning.

It is often the case that, in an age when raw materials are of good quality, means of cooking are desperately scarce.And when the cooking methods slowly began to improve and progressed to the point where there were flowers blooming like brocades, those high-quality raw materials from nature had been excavated and destroyed to the point where there were not many left.

This is a difficult contradiction.

However, what will happen when people from the era of highly developed cooking come to the era of highly developed raw materials?

The arrival of a brand new era of food?

Maybe, it's just that it will be a long time later.

At present, for Fang Tian, ​​these are nothing more than repeating old skills and trying a small trick.It doesn't matter whether it's good tea or delicious food, but it's just for occasional adjustments, and things pass like running water, without leaving any traces of snacks.

When he came to this world, when he embarked on the road of practice, when he saw the power, when he witnessed the authority, when he met the miracle, when he extracted step by step from the experience and knowledge of the past and present life. The coordinates of human activities of "establishing the world, traveling the world, and governing the world" all show one by one——

The him in this life is no longer the him in the previous life. (to be continued..)
