13. Open a small stove

"Brother Tianyi, is there a small stove for decocting medicine in this kitchen, and a small pot for making separate meals for patients?" Gao Ran asked Dong Tianyi while looking for it himself.

Thinking, maybe he'd know if there were the two things she was looking for......

"Hmm......" Dong Tian heard it, and also seriously helped to find it, "There should be one......

"Hah!

As he spoke, he raised his hands and removed from the elevated shelves the small stoves and woks, which were usually shelved because they were rarely used.

"Sure enough, there is still a 'height advantage'! I can see it more clearly...... No wonder I can't find it......"

In the second half of the last sentence, Gao Ran directly rotted it in his stomach - "I dare to love because I'm too short to see it!"

Gao Ran asked Dong Tianyi to put the small stove and small wok in an inconspicuous corner of the kitchen, so that she could cook the fire and stir-fry for a while.

Then, on her own, she began to gather the ingredients available in the kitchen.

"Well, why don't you have all the spices?, and besides, you don't even have any spices?!"

Gao Ran remembered that he had eaten very lightly every day in the "high house" in the past few months.

She originally thought that it was because You Song liked light, and she never specifically asked for any different tastes, so the people directly cooked according to You Song's taste......

However, at that time, it was only because she preferred light flavors that she didn't ask for anything to change......

But now, when she really came to the kitchen of this world for the first time, she found that the only oil here is lard, and the seasonings here are only salt and sugar!

There is no vinegar, no soy sauce, no cooking wine, and no miscellaneous spices, not even onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, etc., which are ordinary "seasonings" in her opinion!

"Oh my God, the reason why the people here always cook so light food is not because they like it light, but because they don't know how to use 'seasoning'......, right? Don't they already know how to make wine?!Why don't they have wine?!Isn't it, they only know how to drink, but they don't know how to season it with sake?!"

Gao Ran faintly felt a little headache......

Can she say that the "ancient people" here are really "single-celled animals" in terms of diet?!

She didn't expect that the development of the food culture of the people here would be much more backward than the "ancient people" of the same period in her original world!

After discovering this, Gao Ran couldn't help but admire these "ancient people" here - he couldn't imagine that they could live so untastefully until now......

She can't admire it if she wants to!

"That's it! Those 'seasonings', spices or something, I'll go to the folk to find them in the future! These things are estimated to be only possible among the folk - even if not many people may use them, there should be them...... Gao Ran could only comfort himself like this.

Although the history here is different from her original world, she still hopes that people here will find some of the things that can be used to enhance the flavor when cooking, such as green onions, ginger, garlic, or spices......

"If I can't find it, then I'll go and look for it in the wild! There will definitely be wild ones in the wild! It's just that it's hard to find!"

Once she wanted to improve the quality of her food, Gao Ran immediately made the determination to overcome all difficulties and get all the "seasonings" she used in her previous life!

Even if they may not look the same as their original world, or even have a different name......

But that's okay!

As long as they taste similar!

"I shouldn't be asking for much, right?!"

In order not to abuse her taste buds, Gao Ran felt that she could just ask them to taste similar - which in her opinion was already a very low requirement!

For now, though, she's going to be able to make the simplest home-cooked meals with the ready-made ingredients and seasonings she has in front of her.

"Hmm...... Brother Tianyi, I'll make you three dishes: 'Stir-fried Winter Melon', 'Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes', and 'Mushroom and Rape'! Later, after I have found all the seasonings I want, I will make you some delicious meat dishes. Today, I can only grieve you to eat some light vegetarian dishes. ”

When she said this, she had already included "scrambled eggs with tomatoes" in the ranks of "light vegetarian dishes".

In her concept, as long as you don't need spices to get rid of the fishy smell, it's called "vegetarian dishes"!

"Hmm, oh......" Dong Tianyi didn't have any idea of the "delicious meat dishes" she mentioned.

Anyway, he has lived for fifteen years, and whether it is meat or vegetarian dishes, he has always eaten them lightly and lightly......

However, to be honest, he still prefers vegetarian dishes to meat dishes.

Because when he eats meat dishes, there is always a fishy smell that is difficult to hide, so that he has no appetite every time he eats it, and he often even feels like vomiting......

Therefore, when Gao Ran said that he was going to make him a vegetarian dish to eat, he was actually quite happy in his heart! At the same time, he was also slightly relieved......

However, except for the stir-fried winter melon that Gao Ran said, which he had eaten before, he had never eaten the other two dishes - the main thing was that the ingredients of those two dishes were fried separately before, and they had never heard of it, and they could be mixed and fried......

"I wonder what it will taste like?"

He was really curious about the two new dishes he had never tried before, and he couldn't help but look forward to them.

"Brother Tianyi, come here!

Gao Ran beckoned Dong Tianyi to come to his side and asked him to help cut a large piece of winter melon out of enough for the two of them to eat, and then according to her instructions, he removed all the winter melon skins with a knife.

But when he wanted to remove the core in the middle of the winter melon, he was stopped by Gao Ran in time.

"This winter melon core is edible!" she explained.

"Can you eat it?!"

Although Dong Tianyi has never cooked, he still has this "common sense".

He doesn't remember that when he ate winter melon, he ate this "winter melon core" even once......

"Really! I don't lie to you, you look at ......"

After that, Gao Ran snatched the winter melon core from Dong Tian's hand, removed the seeds, washed it, and then tore it into petals of different sizes with his hands, and put them in a bowl, and then sprinkled a little sugar on top of it and mixed it evenly.

"Okay! It's ready to eat!

Dong Tianyi suspiciously picked up a small petal and put it in his mouth, chewing it for a while......

"Hmmm! It's really delicious!"

Gao Ran didn't lie to him!

This sugar mixed with winter melon core tastes sweet and refreshing, and when chewing, the mouth is also full of strong winter melon fragrance......

Eating it, I just feel - refreshing!

"This winter melon core is cool. Just eat a little once in a while. Seeing that Dong Tianyi was so satisfied, Gao Ran was happy, but he still didn't forget to remind him kindly.

Then, Gao Ran no longer paid attention to Dong Tianyi, who was indulging in the delicious taste of "sugar mixed with winter melon core", and began to clean and prepare the remaining ingredients by himself, and then prepared to officially stir-fry the vegetables.

Fortunately, in her previous life, she had participated in the summer wilderness survival summer camp organized by the school, otherwise, I am afraid that she would not even be able to make this simplest fire at this moment!

But then again, if she hadn't experienced such a period of wild survival activities that she didn't know how tasteless, she wouldn't have realized how indispensable the inconspicuous "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea" on weekdays were actually - if she wanted to eat deliciously every day......

Therefore, since returning from that event, Gao Ran went to sign up for a cooking class and learned to cook.

Later, she also derived from this, and she also learned more or less about the cultivation of some vegetables that she likes to eat on weekdays, as well as the original methods of making many seasonings that she often uses in cooking......

At this moment, Gao Ran is really extremely glad for his extensive interest in his previous life!

If it weren't for that, at this time, she would probably have to endure a light diet every day with more than enough strength - and probably for a lifetime!

"I'll start looking for the 'seasonings' I want tomorrow! Especially soy sauce and vinegar! If no one here brews them yet, then I'll brew them myself! Anyway, I don't know how to! It's just that the brewing level is not high...... It's okay! It's good to be born once and cooked twice! It's better to improve it slowly in the future! It's better than being like now, where you can only use salt and sugar as a companion every day......

Just imagine eating with salt and sugar every day......

Gao Ran felt that such a light life could almost be regarded as tasteless, which was really sad!

As the three dishes were fried one by one and served on the table that was originally used for food preparation in the kitchen, the whole kitchen was unconsciously filled with a faint aroma of vegetables.

"It smells so good!"

It's not Dong Tianyi's voice!

Gao Ran, who was standing on a low stool and holding out some warm rice from the rice pot in the cafeteria, immediately turned his head vigilantly to look at the front door of the kitchen - but he didn't expect that it was Zhao Yi!
