Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 73 The Disgusting Ingredients

You remember the first time I saw Liu Li, she was drenched and collapsed on the side of the road. I saw it on the way home, but there was no response after calling out a few times. Finally, after confirming that she was still alive, I took her home.

When the family changed her clothes, they realized that the one they rescued was actually a girl.And from that moment on, the parents had the immoral idea of ​​raising this girl as his child bride-in-law.

It's just that he doesn't agree with this kind of immoral, even threatening behavior, and he has argued hard for it.

Later, by accident, the daughter-in-law disappeared, and there was an extra sister.For Xu Huang who lost his family, the woman in front of him who concealed her gender is the only existence in this world that he can rely on!At the same time, he is also the existence in this world that must be protected!
However, after learning that their enemies, those men in black may have something to do with Wanshiwu.He knew very well that to fight against such a huge existence as Wanshiwu, he had to either live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, or he could only become an object that Wanshiwu could not easily shake.The doorman is absolutely worthless, and it is not his dream to live in seclusion, so the only hope is to join the army!
In front of him, there was an opportunity, and the one who gave him this opportunity was the current employer and landlord of Yijie.

To be honest, knowing that the two lived under the same roof, even if it was very clear, the shopkeeper might not know the real gender of the sister-in-law, but this feeling, I don't know why it made him feel so uncomfortable.

Of course, this kind of unhappiness is not based on the relationship between men and women. Now that I have recognized this sister-in-law, how can I have any unreasonable thoughts?It's just that I always feel that Yijie will leave me because of this man, and he doesn't want to lose his family again!

"Then, we still have more than two hours. The task is very heavy. Those who kill the chickens and sheep also have to deal with the fish. First of all, needless to say, all five sheep will be slaughtered. I will take out the internal organs and wash them clean. Don't waste it, find a container to store it!" Wang Yong looked directly at the few people present.

"Why keep the sheep's blood? You don't intend to drink it?" Dian Wei couldn't help but frowned.

"The medicinal value and nutritional value of sheep's blood are not bad, and the key taste is also very good, as long as you know how to make it!" Wang Yong said with a smile, when future generations eat mutton noodles or mutton powder, they will add a portion of sheep's blood, Creamy and delicious.

Huaxia has had the habit of eating animal blood or poultry blood since ancient times. Duck blood vermicelli soup, hairy blood soup, pig blood soup... Some high-end ones, raw turtle blood and deer blood, are common for strengthening and yang.

"How unpalatable is that?!" Just looking at Dian Wei's disgusted expression, he knows that this world doesn't have these recipes.

"That's okay, just pack it up and go home! Liu Li, Feng Xiao, you'll have a good fortune tomorrow morning!" Wang Yong laughed.

"Oh...um..." Liu Limu replied in a daze, obviously hesitating.

"This, this, this... um, okay!" Guo Jia didn't know what to say, and she still resisted to eat sheep's blood, but reason told her that the sheep's blood made by Wang Yong must be the same as It was different, but finally agreed.

"Sure enough, Feng Xiao knows me best! Don't worry, if it's not delicious, I won't force you!" Wang Yong said with a smile, "Then, let's start! Dian Wei and I are responsible for handling the sheep. Get rid of the chicken!"

"Understood!" After receiving the order, the four immediately responded.

"Shopkeeper!" Wen Ming stepped forward, "It depends on the situation that there is a lot of work, do you want to temporarily deploy two assistant cooks? Speaking of which, I still have the contact methods of the three assistant cooks in the previous yamen."

"Huh? Did the Yamen have other helpers before?" Wang Yong was surprised, thinking that Guo Jia was the only part-time helper.

"Of course there will be chefs and helpers in the government office..." Guo Jia stepped forward to remind, "It's just that there was a shortage of food and funds. The key point is that the chef is very arrogant and refuses to find a way to make wheat and black beans. Eat, the lord Huo Da dismissed him and his three assistant cooks."

"Since the lord has been dismissed, of course I won't use it anymore! But Wen Ming, you are right, there is a little shortage of manpower, can you find another one or two assistant cooks? Only junior cooks are needed!" Wang Yong thought for a while.

"No problem, in fact, as the owner of the shop, as long as you speak, not to mention junior chefs, mid-level chefs will be willing to come and help for free." Wen Ming smiled, "After all, I can watch the cooking of Elder Yang's disciples up close, right? For less chefs, it is also a great benefit.”

To put it simply, it is to steal the teacher. Even if you can't directly use the recipe, knife skills, seasoning and heat, or even the understanding of umami, you can still see it through careful observation.Because of the lack of sufficient guidance and education, many people only know what it is about the concept of umami and don’t know why. As long as they are given a chance, perhaps another senior chef will be born in the future.

"Well, I need helpers to be in place within half an hour, can it be done?" Wang Yong asked.

"Don't worry, we are the house of everything!" Wen Ming smiled, turned and left.

"Then, let's slaughter the sheep first!" Wang Yong came to the animal pen in the back kitchen, grabbed a sheep, and went to a place where other sheep could not see.Generally, don't let them see the slaughtering process, otherwise they will be nervous or even afraid. Once tense, the capillaries will burst, and finally the meat quality will deteriorate a lot.

The so-called humane slaughter is actually to a large extent to ensure that the meat is more tender!
Wang Yong took out a sharp knife and directly stabbed the head of the sheep with a knife. When it was stirred, the brain was directly destroyed, and the sheep suddenly collapsed on the ground.Immediately, he cut a knife at the throat, signaling Dian Wei to take the container to let the blood out, and then lifted his two hind hooves, allowing the blood to flow out from the carotid artery and pour it into the container.

"Shopkeeper, I think you should really think about it. How can this thing be eaten?" Looking at the sheep's blood in the container, Dian Wei expressed a little nausea. She may not be afraid of killing people, but let her eat the blood into it. In the stomach, this is really difficult.

"You can decide whether to eat or not, but it's up to me to decide whether to eat or not!" Wang Yong shrugged, "Just when the time comes, don't regret what you said now!"

"This... um..." Dian Wei was a little entangled, Wang Yong's cooking skills are still guaranteed, and he was a bit reluctant to give up.What if, this sheep blood is really delicious, so wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?
"There are more than [-] civil and military officials from the entire yamen who went to the banquet. As the third dish, at least three heads are needed to meet the needs. The other two are spare. If you don't need it, take it back to the store and freeze it, and add it directly to our store tomorrow. in the menu!" Wang Yong began to peel and open, a sheep is not a small portion, three sheep are shared, and other dishes are enough.

Buying two more sheep is nothing more than insurance. Besides, it is rare to be a little more generous, and I plan to treat myself well.

"Haggis tastes so strong, do you need to keep it?" Xu Huang asked curiously. Haggis has a strong smell, and it is usually processed at a low price. It is barely edible, but the taste is definitely not good.

"Boy, as long as the ingredients in this world can be eaten, there is always a way to cook them deliciously!" 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, so he just felt that he didn't understand, and continued to help.

It took about ten minutes, perhaps because Wang Yong acted too quickly, one of the sheep had already been dealt with.After finishing this, Wang Yong retracted the knife, and then looked at Dian Wei and Xu Huang: "You have seen the process, and you can deal with the other two ends, okay?"

"Okay! It's just like this, no one will help to pack sheep's blood!" Dian Wei nodded, then shook his head and said.

"Let me help!" A familiar voice came, and Wang Yong turned his head to look, and a girl with two ponytails came to the back kitchen.

"Dezu? Why are you here?" Wang Yong looked at him curiously. It was his junior sister Yang Xiu who came.

"Grandpa has already told Governor Cao that I, a genius with second-grade junior chef qualifications, will be the assistant cook. So starting tomorrow, I will report to the store, and I will teach you a lot in the future, Master Chef!" Yang Xiu was very pleased. said reluctantly.

How could she not know what grandpa was thinking, she was a genius!It's just that she is very upset with this Wang Yong, maybe because this person is not big or small, or because he suddenly became her senior brother, or it may be because this person made her lose her composure...

All in all, even if she spends her whole life looking for a peerless ugly man to marry, she will never fall in love with this guy!It's just that she didn't know it at all, and she set a flag for herself casually.

"Okay, come and help!" Wang Yong nodded upon hearing this, and gave instructions directly.

"You really don't know how to be polite!" Yang Xiu pouted his mouth in anger, and then obediently helped to collect the blood.Anger is anger, and good qualities come from the self-consciousness of the children of the aristocratic family. "Speaking of which, what are you going to do with this sheep blood? It's fishy and smelly!"

"Of course I ate it!" Wang Yong said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me!" Yang Xiu yelled directly, "How can this thing be eaten? The smell is very strong and smelly!"

"Hey?" Wang Yong teased while cooking the sheep in his hand, "As a genius, can't you think of how to cook sheep's blood?"

"Ask, ask... the question is!" Yang Xiu retorted directly, "How poor is our food, reduced to the point where we have to eat sheep's blood?!"

"It has nothing to do with barrenness. Human beings' exploration of deliciousness is endless!" Wang Yong replied. Of course, in this process, a lot of dark dishes will also be born, which cannot be denied.But if you don't even have the courage to clear mines, then the culinary skills in this world may have stagnated long ago.

"Speaking of which, what you're preparing now should be the main dish, right? Then how do you plan to prepare the soup?" Yang Xiu simply changed the subject.

"Also preparing!" Wang Yong stuffed all the sauce ingredients into the sheep's stomach, then spread salt on the outer skin, and put some fresh chili leaves if possible, but if not, you can put some rosemary.

The special fragrance of rosemary can enhance the freshness of mutton, and the key is to eliminate the greasy taste of mutton.Of course, there are also substitutes, which are fresh tea leaves. Unfortunately, Wang Yong does not have fresh tea leaves on hand, and he is reluctant to use chili leaves, so he can only follow the kingly route and add some fresh rosemary to enhance the flavor (or not).

In fact, many seasonings in Western food have been used in Chinese food for a long time.For example, basil, which is said to be miraculous in "The Spirit of the Medicine King", has cooking records in the Northern Wei Dynasty.In China, basil is also called 'fish coriander' and 'basil', and it is used in many Chinese food recipes, and it is not a rare thing.

For example, if you search for 'nine-story pagoda' on a certain treasure, you will find a lot of fresh basil for sale at 20/jin.You don't use much of it in one cooking session.In some rural areas, it even grows directly, and you can pick some and use it if you need it.

"What is Qiantang? Tell me the recipe, and I'll help!" Yang Xiu asked casually.

"Haggis and radish soup!" Wang Yong didn't take it seriously and replied directly.Since offal dishes have not yet become mainstream, he is not worried that others will be rare for this recipe.

"You! Do you know that haggis smells 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 sense of taste.

"I just want its taste! Haha, I don't want it if it's not strong!" Wang Yong laughed. Offal dishes do have a very strong taste, but as long as they are cooked properly, this strong taste will become supremely delicious.

Think sauerkraut fat sausage, Jiuzhuan fat sausage, stir-fried pork liver with leeks, pig offal old friend noodles, Maoxuewang, duck blood vermicelli soup, and even the pork offal rice and duck offal rice in Cantonese-style roast meat have a special flavor.

Oh, and a foie gras not to be forgotten!French foie gras is a world-famous so-called "food"!
Perhaps after today, many people's sense of taste will be expanded to a new level!Wang Yong thought secretly.

"Well, you are the chef, I can't say no to you!" Yang Xiu found that Wang Yong was serious, "If something happens, I won't take responsibility! Really, why on earth should I do it for you? This kind of thing?!"

"Relax!" Wang Yong has already started to skewer the whole lamb on the grill.The thick meat of the shoulder has been cut a few times, so that it can be cooked through when it is grilled.At the same time, tie the spine with iron wire, bake it and then remove it.

After making these, put them on the grill and start to bake them back and forth until they are cooked through at least one or two hours.The next step is physical work, which does not require too much professional knowledge, so two soldiers were called to act as handymen, and let them rotate the grill in turn.

Wang Yong is in charge of watching the fire, and when the time is right, he brushes it with oil to lock the moisture in the mutton, making the roasted mutton crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

In the free time, I started to wash my hands, and then washed the haggis along with it.Halfway through the wash, Wen Ming came back again, with three assistant cooks with him, who were said to be junior cooks with a grade three or above.

"Help me remove the feathers from the chicken and remove the viscera for later use. I will handle the fish myself, I have prepared the marinade bag, and I have to cook the marinade..." Wang Yong was not polite, and ordered one by one, the three of them started from the first Doubt, to quickly start to actively help.

Here, they see too many novel things.If it is said that at the beginning, they came here to experience the identity of Yang Ci's disciples, but now they really want to deeply observe the cooking skills contained in this cooking.

Time passed by little by little, and the banquet was about to begin, and the soup was already ready.Based on lamb tripe and lamb intestines, boil the beef bone soup, then bring the haggis, green onion and ginger to a boil, and then turn to medium heat.Wash and shred the white radish, put it into the soup, wait until the shredded radish is cooked, add salt and white pepper to the pot.

If you need embellishment, you can also put some chopped coriander in the middle of the soup after you take it out of the pot and put it on a plate (or not).

"I've also prepared a portion for everyone!" Wang Yong divided the portions required by the officials outside, and then pointed to the rest of the pot, "Everyone come over to drink when you are free!"

"We can do it too?" The soldiers, who had increased to six, chose a representative, and came out a little cautiously to ask.

"Of course, you can't let you work for nothing, right?" Wang Yong replied directly.

"My lord is benevolent!" They helped roast the lamb, even if they just helped to turn the grill according to the rhythm, the smell came out, and their stomachs growled with hunger.

"Okay, let me give it a try, will this thing work?" Yang Xiu stepped forward, picked up her share, and began to taste it.

　According to the agreement, this time the chapter is 4000 words, so only one chapter will be published today.There may be some bugs, I will modify it through the mobile terminal later... I will go to work first.
