Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 84 Trying to make a locust dish

When Wang Yong came back, he didn't take anything, obviously not for shopping.Although she was a little curious about his temporary visit to the Wanshiwu and what was going on, the three women did not ask any questions.

"Mutton powder? Isn't the price of mutton cheap?" Officials came to eat one after another. After hearing the lunch menu, Xun Yu was the first to ask questions.

"Of course it's not cheap. The price of mutton has risen so much!" Wang Yong nodded, "So at most a few slices of mutton, you need to add haggis, sheep blood or mutton, and you need to pay extra!"

Within the budget, it can only be handled in this way.Fortunately, mutton bones and mutton heads are not very valuable. Boil a good soup, add refreshing dustpan powder, and finally season with coriander, put a few slices of mutton on the table and serve.

"Add a serving of mutton (sheep blood/mutton haggis)!" Naturally, many officials with relatively well-off families asked for more vegetables.This part does not go to the Yamen's accounts, and all the earnings go directly to Wang Yong's pocket.

"The mutton is very fresh. It's rare that the smell of mutton is handled well. It's very good!" Cao Cao took a bite and nodded in praise.I have eaten roasted and stewed mutton yesterday, and I really want to eat something light today. Wang Yong's current cooking method has largely retained the original taste of mutton, and it has not been made very strong, but it has dealt with the smell of mutton. Very good, very rare.

"Add mature vinegar and chili oil as needed!" Wang Yong shouted, and the two seasonings had already been brought out by Liu Li.

Mature vinegar is purchased directly from Wanshiwu, which has been bought and stored before.The chili oil was fried by himself after he got the dried chili. It took a little time, but fortunately he had the experience of frying before.

Prickly ash and chili are put into the oil pan and stir-fried at the same time. This is what I learned when I read the introduction about Chongqing noodles in that issue.Later, I saw a franchise store opened in the city, and I was curious to eat it, and then I felt the taste...that's it...

"Should the chili oil and mature vinegar be poured directly into the noodles?" Cao Hong asked.

"It can be poured into a soy sauce dish for dipping mutton. It can also be poured directly into the noodles as needed, so that the taste will become very spicy. Whether it is light or spicy is up to you to choose." Wang Yong reminded.

"This chili oil... tastes very good, and I feel that there are other flavors besides the taste of chili?" Xun Yu asked, it's amazing, when he ate chili for the first time, he was almost killed by the heat, but now it seems to have disappeared I'm used to the spiciness.

“Chili oil is made by sautéing spices such as pepper, sesame, shallot and star anise in oil, and then pouring in crushed dried chilies and frying. The spicy flavor is very pure, and different people have slightly different configurations of chili oil.” Wang Yong nodded. As expected of Xun Yu, he could tell the speciality of chili oil just by smelling it.

"There are a lot of tricks in the chili!" Cao Cao smiled slightly, "It feels like anything can become delicious in your hands. Then, is our chef capable of making those damned locusts into dishes?"

As soon as the words fell, Wen Ming shouted directly outside: "Shopkeeper, we have sent someone to get the locusts you want! It's a whole catty, and they were all just caught!"

"Okay, how much does it cost?" Wang Yong was about to pay.

"Our boss speaks, this time it's free!" Wen Ming shook his head, then left.

"It's the East Asian migratory locust...fortunately..." Wang Yong identified it carefully, and then heaved a sigh of relief.It is said that locusts can be eaten, but there are 859 species of locusts in the Acrididae family, and those that can be used as medicine and food in China are mainly East Asian migratory locusts and Chinese rice locusts.

In this era of low medical level, Wang Yong thinks it is better to be on the safe side, so as not to cause any problems.In the end, he was infected with some serious illness, but he didn't have enough medical means to treat him, so he died like this, which is too wronged.

"Worriless, you don't really plan to..." Seeing Wang Yong carrying a bag of locusts, and the locusts were still bouncing inside, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.

Not to mention Cao Cao, the women who were close to Wang Yong all moved away.Especially Xun Yu, who hid directly behind Guo Jia, poked his head out to look over.

"I heard that people in some places like to eat locusts very much. They also call locusts 'sky chicken' or 'flying shrimp'. It is not difficult to understand from the name. This thing should be very delicious to eat." Wang Yongju said Raising the bag in his hand, "Let's buy it and try it out. If it doesn't taste good, find another way. If it tastes good, it can drive some people to eat together, and it will also help the lord!"

"Really?" Xun Yu asked weakly. She was really afraid of locusts, but when she heard that locusts were delicious, she was indeed very curious, "I don't eat much. Lied to me!"

"If you're sure it's edible..." Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong, "If it's really edible... even if it's not very tasty, I'd like to take the lead in eating locusts!"

Nominally, Cao Cao is the governor of Yanzhou, even though she actually occupies some counties in Dongjun, Shanyang and Jiyin, the territory is slightly smaller than that of Lu Bu. If she takes the lead in eating locusts, then the local officials, as long as they have a little political wisdom, will Eat locusts.They will even mobilize the common people to eat together. One person can eat ten catties or eight catties. No matter how big a plague of locusts is, it will not be enough to eat.

"I have to experiment with this!" Wang Yong replied, and then Zhou Zhou went to the back kitchen.

In no hurry, I went directly to the ice cellar and put the locusts in it to freeze.Otherwise, it would be a lot of fun to jump off the frying pan like this!The dried locusts are actually better, but he doesn't have the time, and neither does Cao Cao!

"We need to wait for an hour, and the follow-up preparations won't take too long, why don't you come over to taste it tonight?" Wang Yong walked out of the cellar and came to Cao Cao to ask for instructions.

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"In addition, my subordinates heard..." Wang Yong immediately added, "Dry the locusts and grind them into powder, and soak a cup of water every day to drink. The taste is not very good, but it can build strength. The key is not to get fat. Yes Drink it properly for the soldiers, and after a period of time, the soldiers may become more powerful."

After all, it is a high-protein product. Those who build muscles, who doesn't drink cans of protein powder?The only problem is that men in this world should have genetic defects. Under such circumstances, a lot of exercise and taking protein powder can achieve the level of soldiers in time and space. Wang Yong is not sure.

"Well, I'll go back and ask Wanshiwu to help collect a batch of dried and ground locusts!" Cao Cao also began to pay attention to it. Anyway, she also wanted to hire someone to catch and kill the locusts. It's a loss.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao also became silent, turned around and returned to the government office. The Chinese food has been eaten, so there is no need to stay any longer.

"You're trying to get revenge on me, aren't you?" As soon as Cao Cao left, Xiahou Dun ran over and grabbed Wang Yong by the collar, "You actually want us to eat locust powder or something!"

"Speaking of..." Cao Ren suddenly came to his senses, "There doesn't seem to be much locust powder in the early days, so why don't we concentrate it on Ling!"

"I agree!" Le Jin nodded, then looked at Xiahou Dun, "Ling, you're welcome, really!"
