Chapter 207: Cooking Rice (85)

Throughout March and April, the farm was like a construction site, dusty everywhere, but the advantage of being busy was that if you weren't careful, you would lose time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lin Quan grabbed a sandwich made of Denise, bit it into his mouth, and put his coat on his sleeve to put it on.

"Where are you going?"

Denise wore an apron and walked out of the kitchen, still holding the pan in her hand.

I thought that after Zuo Xiangyang and them came, there should be no need to make breakfast on their side, but things don't seem to be like that.

At the beginning, it was nothing to eat breakfast at his side, steamed buns, flower rolls, xiaolongbao, hot dry noodles, wide noodles...... , These are all fine, but after eating for two months, Lin Quan can't eat anymore, and he doesn't know if he is tired of eating, or Zuo Xiangyang's skills are declining, and the taste is more unpalatable, so he began to reminisce about the breakfast made by Denise, the brown and slightly hard toast, the occasional burnt and maybe a little salty fried egg, half-cooked vegetable leaves are sandwiched in freshly baked bread slices, and then dipped in a little spicy sauce, the taste is simply aftertaste.

"It's better to cook at home at noon, but let's cook on the stove at noon!

Lin Quan explained, turned around and left.

Denise glanced at the earthen stove in their kitchen suspiciously, this thing was repaired by Lin Quan before, saying that if there is no gas or electricity in the future, this thing can be used to cook on the fire.

This kind of earthen stove is unique to ancient China, did there be a stove in ancient Europe? The answer is no!

I believe that many people who have watched European medieval and even modern film and television works can find that Europeans generally set up a pot to cook and eat.

These small commoner families cooked, and as for the aristocracy, they had ovens, but the construction cost of ovens was huge, in addition to large families having their own ovens, many medieval communes would have communal ovens to make bread (I have been wondering, why do Europeans like to eat bread, is it because they can't make stoves like China, and the technology of refining pottery is so poor that there are no suitable containers, so they can only have bread that doesn't need containers, can be eaten casually, and is easy to preserve?). The province has to cook every day!). At that time, there was also a kind of portable oven, which could be baked by putting in food and then burning it with coal, and such tools were also used in hawker carts to make baked batches for sale. In addition, many meats were cooked directly over fire, and it was not until the 18th century that stoves appeared in Europe.

So this kind of clay stove Denise is not very good at using, although I have seen Lin Quan use it once or twice, but because the chimney was not very ventilated before, so the clay stove was on fire a little, and the smoke from the burning matches could not be discharged, and as a result, everyone choked and coughed, and tears flowed out, which was simply embarrassing!

However, Lin Quan then found someone to come over and repair it, re-processed the exhaust outlet above, and then tried again, and now the problem of exhaust is the end, but if you use this stove to cook, a person will have some trouble, and you have to burn the fire and stir-fry, the key is that there is a lack of chopping wood here, all of which are some small branches, which will be burned out soon, and the cooking will be busy.

And Denise is not very good at stir-frying, if you let her cook it, it's okay, but it's not good for stir-frying, Europe and the United States don't like stir-frying, what kind of vegetable salad do they have, what the hell is this? There are still people to brag about it!

The reason why Chinese cuisine is so popular in the world is that the catering culture of other countries is too scarce, most of the European and American dishes are boiled, the taste can be imagined, everyone in this field is not an order of magnitude opponent at all, foreign cuisine can be counted on one finger, and there are thousands of Chinese dishes, fried, steamed, boiled, fried, fried, stuffy, roasted...... There is everything, this is the heritage of an ancient civilization that has inherited 5,000 years of culture, and food culture is actually a kind of soft power!

And because foreign food is too scarce, so after Chinese go abroad, the first problem they encounter is not cultural conflict, but the diet is not adaptable, and you can't eat so authentic Chinese food in foreign countries, so everyone will miss the taste of hometown infinitely! I also saw a news before, saying that the army has equipped the soldiers with a mobile catering car, which is a mobile kitchen, with which the troops can eat fresh hot food at any time, and the leader of the unit said when evaluating this thing: With this thing, the combat effectiveness of our troops can be greatly improved!

There are too many kinds of Chinese cuisine, and the geographical area is too wide, so that the soldiers in the army come from a relatively miscellaneous place of origin, Shandong, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Northeast China, and Guangdong, and the tastes of the soldiers in these places are not the same, so eating is a big problem, how to make different flavors of dishes in one pot, this is a problem! There are still hot dishes to eat in the camp, but there is not such a good treatment when the field is fighting or training!

And the compressed biscuits, canned food and other foods that foreign soldiers are accustomed to Chinese soldiers are not incapable of eating, but after getting used to eating fresh hot dishes with rich tastes, eating this industrial food, it is easy to get tired of eating, and after getting tired of eating, appetite will decline, physical strength, spirit, morale will be affected, and then it will affect combat effectiveness, and with the catering car, everyone can at least eat hot dishes, which is very critical for the stomach of Chinese! The morale of the troops who can eat hot food is definitely not the same level as the morale of the troops who have eaten canned food for a long time, so it is really not a joke to say that adding a catering truck can improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Lin Quan said that he would use the earthen stove to cook when he came back at noon, but in fact, he had a purpose.

First, Wang Gu Chengzuo Xiangyang has been a little slack recently, which is directly reflected in the quality of the food they make, not only Lin Quan himself thinks it is not very delicious, but even Zhao Chengcheng, who has always been not very picky, has a lot of complaints, as for Qin Chuan, this guy has been complaining in Lin Quan's ear for a long time.

So through this incident, Lin Quan wanted to send a signal to these two people, that is, he was not very satisfied with their current work, and if he didn't go to eat with them, as long as they were a little careful, they should be able to detect that something was wrong.

The second is that Lin Quan wants to eat the pot, and it is difficult to get the pot for cooking rice in the rice cooker, even if you get the pot, it is also a soft pot, not very delicious, only by cooking rice on the stove, you can eat the pot, this kind of pot can be directly dipped in moldy tofu (fermented bean curd?), you can also dip it in spicy sauce to eat, you can also cook pot porridge, the taste is very good, especially the pot porridge, that kind of taste, very mellow, very attractive, much better than the porridge cooked with millet.

Lin Quan is from the countryside, he used to be at home every morning can drink this kind of pot porridge (the countryside generally eats rice in the morning, the north may be eating steamed buns, Henan will also drink a kind of noodle soup, but Hubei is generally cooked in the morning), this taste he has tasted for more than ten years, at the beginning did not feel anything special, and when he went out to start working, he knew how difficult it was to drink pot porridge, the rice in the city is generally steamed out of a rice cooker or even a steamer, there must be no pot cake, so there is no pot porridge。

And in Africa for more than a year, this kind of thing is even more impossible to eat, that is, during the Chinese New Year, after returning to his hometown, he was fortunate to have this long-lost taste, and these days he has been a little greedy for this kind of pot porridge in his heart, and there is a stove in his kitchen, so he is ready to cook a meal and eat a meal!
