Siheyuan: Survival in the cellar at the beginning, don’t mess with me

"........."

Chen Xi had already thought about what to have for dinner and swung the kitchen knife in his hand quickly.

At the same time, he still had extra thoughts to talk to others.

Hearing Chen Xi's words, the deaf old lady immediately felt relieved. In her opinion, it was not unjust at all for Liu Haizhong to go to prison. He would just show off his official power on weekdays, but he dared to... The blame will be placed on the heads of veterans.

I really don't know what is good or bad.

It doesn't matter if you catch him or not, let him suffer a little, and when he comes out, he can understand some principles of doing things for others.

two seven nine nine five five six three seven

If Liu Haizhong had not been caught, the deaf old lady who knew what was going on would definitely not be able to sit still anymore. She would go to the second uncle's house with a cane and give Liu Haizhong a good beating.

Even if you have bangs, a wide body and a fat body, you would never dare to compete with a deaf old lady.

Chen Luoqing poked his little head, looked at the ingredients on the chopping board, and asked softly: "Duck? Brother Xi, what should we eat tonight?"

Chen Xi flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "Go back and sit down, little greedy cat. I'll make you a famous Jinling dish - salted duck!"

Jinling salted duck production has a long history and has accumulated rich production experience.

The duck skin is white and the meat is tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious.

It is fragrant, crispy and tender.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms, the salted duck has the best color and taste, so it is also called sweet-scented osmanthus duck.

Salted duck best embodies the original flavor of duck. The cooking method returns to nature, filters out greasiness, drives away fishy smell, retains delicious taste, and keeps fat and tenderness. Regular consumption of salted duck can also fight inflammation, reduce swelling and resist aging, and is especially suitable for patients with cardiovascular disease.

Eat meat with every meal, every meal.

Looking at the entire Red Star Courtyard, only Chen Xi's family can do this. Although there are three people eating together, the amount of savings is definitely quite large.

Chen Xi had 10000 yuan in cash, 2060 yuan in military coupons, three real estate courtyard houses, and a monthly regimental-level salary of 220 yuan.

Inside Chen Luoqing's wooden cabinet, there was 2200 yuan in cash, some meat stamps, and food stamps.

In the hands of the deaf old lady, there is still a pension of 3000 yuan, a 'martyr's family pension' of 10 yuan a month, plus the 500 yuan pension for Ye Wu who died in the battle, which has not yet been sent, and a set of real estate. courtyard house.

All the assets added up are definitely a number that cannot be underestimated in this era, and it is not an exaggeration to call it 'rich'.

Plus.

Chen Xi also has a 'ranch'.

Ducks and duck eggs can be provided every day, so maintaining a supply of meat is not a problem at all.

Chen Luoqing was a little confused: "Salt water...duck?"

The deaf old lady was slightly surprised: "This is a famous dish with a long history. I heard that only a chef can make it well. Xiao Xi, will you still make this?"

When she was young, the deaf old lady was considered a 'heroine'.

After all, being able to kill two chicken soldiers is enough to show that she was brave in her youth, even stronger than many men.

At least.

Better than Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Xu Damao and others.

Those of them who lived in peaceful times had never experienced the cruelty of the battlefield back then. Let alone let them go to the battlefield to fight, they would probably feel weak when they heard the enemy's movements.

"Don't worry, old lady, this won't be a problem for me."

"........"

Chen Xi cooked this delicacy quickly.

As far back as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are records of "building a place to raise ducks" in Jinling. According to the "Wu Di Ji": "The King of Wu built a city to raise ducks, and the city was hundreds of miles in circumference."

Jinling is famous for its fondness for ducks.

Its variety, large quantity, and wide spread are the best in the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, Jinling is praised as "Jinling's duck delicacies are the best in the world".

With his rich experience and "Cooking Skills (D)", although he cannot achieve the level of a real chef to perfectly reproduce this salted duck dish, he can still make the taste of it. Still no problem.

[Ding, successfully completed a fine salted duck dish, cooking experience +10]

[Cooking Skills (D): 19/100]

【.........】

Thanks to full control through 'Pasture', Chen Xi saves a lot of time and steps.

Therefore, when cooking this delicacy, it only took half an hour and the work was done.

Rich duck aroma.

It lingered in the whole room and lingered for a long time.

In this era when eating meat is a luxury, if an excellent chef cooks it himself and uses the highest quality duck as the raw material, the "salted duck" that can be cooked will naturally be impeccable, unless it is a later generation. Only the best gourmets can taste some flaws.

However, that was the time when there was no other way. Chen Xi's current cooking skills were only D-level.

It is entirely dependent on the highest quality ducks produced in the 'ranch' that it can significantly make up for the level of completion of this 'salted duck'.

of course.

It was just for the deaf old lady and Chen Luoqing.

That is completely enough. After all, this is not a state banquet-level meal, it is just an ordinary dinner. If he wants, Chen Xi can change it every day and make completely different duck dishes.

Chen Xi would close the door every time before eating.

Now a strong lock has been added to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in and seeing them eating big fish and meat.

As a result, jealousy occurs.

"finished!"

Holding the steaming salted duck, Chen Xi placed it in the middle of the wooden table.

Exactly.

Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner.

Chen Luoqing ate a full lunch box with three meats and one vegetable for lunch. Naturally, she had to eat less for dinner. A dish of salted duck was enough, but it was three and a half kilograms, and it was not enough to share it with three people. It's very little.

Chen Luoqing poked the dish with her chopsticks, and it felt like a springy meat: "This meat looks white and tender, completely different from the Beijing roast duck."

The deaf old lady looked at the salted duck in front of her and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

Although she had never tasted it personally when she was young, she had seen some dignitaries ordering this dish outside a large hotel. It was also full of flavor at that time, and the effect it produced was similar.

look.

Xiao Xi has learned a lot of skills in the army.

Not only is he proficient in cooking, but he is also able to replicate Jinling's signature dish, salted duck, to perfection.

"Of course it's different. Jinling salted duck is the only low-temperature livestock and poultry product in the history of Longguo. It is completely different from traditional pickled products."

"It has a sweet and salty aroma, and a smooth and tender texture. The meat is white, oily and shiny, the skin is fat and the bones are fragrant. It is extremely tender and salty and delicious."

"Through low-temperature cooking, the tenderness of the salted duck reaches a certain level after about half an hour. The muscle-meat of the salted duck cooked at low temperature has good water storage capacity and maintains the juiciness of the duck meat. And the high-temperature cooking The pickled products will destroy their flavor, making them smell fragrant but taste average."

"In addition, the Osmanthus Duck is made with exquisite craftsmanship and good materials."

"'Sauteing and salting, clearing and marinating' increases the aroma and mellowness of the duck, 'frying it dry' reduces the fat of the duck, it is thin and tightly tightened, and 'cooking it thoroughly' gives it a tender and fragrant taste."

"........."

Speaking of this salted duck dish, Chen Xi was absolutely eloquent.

As the level of cooking skills improves, whether it is the classic cuisine of the Dragon Kingdom or the classic Western cuisine, all the related knowledge will flow into Chen Xi's mind and be deeply remembered.

of course.

Remember, remember.

How to use practice makes perfect, and on this basis, improve and recover again.

It all depends on the individual's ability, which is also the standard for classifying cooking skills.

Ordinary chef (E), that is, cooking home-cooked dishes and big pot dishes.

An excellent chef (D) can reproduce some classic dishes to a high level, whether it is a small stir-fry or a large pot dish, and can be served on the table.

Chef level (C) can perfectly reproduce some classic dishes and make people eat them with admiration.

As for the state banquet level (B) and world level (A) above, they have all gone their own way, no longer sticking to the recipes left by their predecessors, and developing their own unique flavors.

"oh oh--"

Listening to Chen Xi's introduction, Chen Luoqing also nodded his little head.

Unexpectedly, a dish of salted duck has such a long history of skill inheritance, which is really eye-opening.

of course.

The most important influencing factor is taste!

If there is no good taste, all appearance and fragrance factors are in vain.

The three of them each picked up their own chopsticks, picked up a piece of white jade and tender duck meat, and put it into their mouths. The delicious feeling burst out in their taste buds. Although no one spoke, they held the meat in their hands. The speed has accelerated a lot unknowingly.

When eating meat, you should also be low-key.

If there is any good food, it should be eaten silently.

In this era, people with a very high-profile style are often the first to die.

"By the way, Luo Qing."

"I put ten duck eggs on the stove. Let's eat these for breakfast tomorrow. Eating cornmeal and steamed buns every day is not nutritious."

"In a few days, you will probably start winter military training. If you don't replenish your body with nutrition, it is unrealistic to withstand the high-intensity training of military training. Your body is the capital of revolution."

"and also--"

"In your wardrobe, there are two new clothes I just bought, one is a white shirt and the other is a Bragi."

"........."

While Chen Xi was eating, he seemed to think of something and said.
