Chapter 9 Sweet and sour tenderloin

After entering the kitchen, Lelin felt that her head was big. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

She wanted to make a few home-cooked dishes such as mapo tofu and tomato scrambled eggs, but it suddenly occurred to her that these peppers, onions, and tomatoes were only introduced to Europe after the great discovery of the seafar, at least in China during the Ming Dynasty, and now, they are probably still growing in South America.

That's good to make potato curry. Well, potatoes are also from South America...... It's good to make curry white radish, and it looks pretty much the same, but how should you make curry?

Alas, in the time-traveling dramas and time-traveling novels she watched before, the protagonists made a home-cooked dish and moved the capital, which was really misleading

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Now not to mention the tropical plants, Lelin rummaged through the sauce on the stoveside, and there was not even soy sauce, only vinegar and a bottle of black meat sauce......

Vinegar......?

If you don't want to make sweet and sour pork ribs.

After making up her mind, Le Lin instructed Shi Chang: "Help me cut four or five taels of pork, and if you want the tenderloin, slice it." ”

Shi Chang was shocked: "Pig ...... Pork?"

"What's wrong?" she thought to herself, if she didn't even have pork?

"Young owner, this pork is cheap meat, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall. ”

It turned out that before the Southern Song Dynasty, pork was treated as meat only eaten by the poor.

There is a poem as evidence: "Huangzhou is good pork, and the price is cheap and other dung." The rich refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand how to cook. ”

In the Song Dynasty in Le Lin's time and space, it was also after Su Dongpo realized the advantages of pork, and he was also a gourmet, and his nature exploded, delving into a lot of delicacies made of pork, and also wrote a lot of words applauding pork to promote pork, and then the situation improved.

It is unknown whether Su Dongpo in this time and space disappeared due to the butterfly effect, and Le Lin has not studied the history of food, so naturally he does not know about these.

So far, she can't think of any other specialty dishes, so she has to say: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows if it's pork?"

Shi Chang suddenly sweated on his forehead, feeling confused about the road ahead, but it was not easy to argue, so he had to cut five taels of tenderloin as instructed.

Here, Le Lin has found all the ingredients. Fortunately, the main condiments sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and green onions can still be found.

Take the chopped tenderloin, coat it with sesame oil, and marinate it with a little flour, egg whites, water and sweet and sour sauce. Bring the pot to a boil, pour raw oil, sprinkle the ginger shreds into the pot, and in a moment, the kitchen will be filled with the fragrance of ginger.

Most of the cooking food in the Tang and Song dynasties was steamed, while the border towns of the Song and Liao dynasties were mainly barbecued. Le Lin's method of stir-frying, Chuanxiong, Rhubarb and Shi Chang had never seen it, and they secretly wondered in their hearts.

Shi Chang's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the cook stealing from him, he hurriedly called it away.

Le Lin concentrated on stir-frying, and didn't know it.

Stir-fry the tenderloin slices in the pan, and finally pour the sweet and sour sauce into the pan to thicken.

In this way, a sweet and sour tenderloin that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of color and flavor, is completed.

The three people next to them smelled the sweet and sour smell that made people appetizing, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Chuanxiong licked his mouth and said, "Young Master, do you want to help you try the taste?"

Le Lin then remembered that the two of them had been busy with her for most of the day, and they hadn't eaten lunch yet, and looked at the tenderloin on the plate, which was about four or five people, so she smiled and said, "You can try it one by one." ”

The three hurriedly thanked them and tasted them with chopsticks.

As soon as the slice of meat entered his mouth, Shi Chang was immediately overjoyed, and his mind was full of one thought: "Huang Hongfu, you are determined to lose this time!"

This sweet and sour tenderloin has a rich taste, fresh and appetizing, compared to Babao duck, it is more than good, and most importantly, it is inexpensive.

Babaolou is finally expected to win back a city!

Shi Chang thought that when he was shopping in the East Market some time ago, he happened to meet Huang Hongfu, the villain's face, and suddenly felt that there was a fire in his chest, and he hurriedly asked Le Lin: "Shaodong, this is the recipe handed down by Le Gong?"

Le Lin didn't bother to think of other explanations, anyway, it was right to push it to Leshan: "Well, occasionally I saw my great-great-grandfather's notebook, which recorded some of his own recipes?"

Some?!Shi Chang's heart is full of flowers.

"Young owner, please teach a few more dishes and revitalize Babaolou, just around the corner!"

Le Lin disagreed, Yunlai Pavilion and Babaolou are on the same street, even if there are more new dishes, if they make high-end dishes like Yunlai Pavilion, it is not a wise move to fight hard.

And Babaolou is closer to Dongshi, Le Lin has an idea in her heart, and said with a smile: "Babaolou, I have other plans." After receiving these two VIPs, you will close, take the account book to the shopkeeper of Ruyi Zhai Zheng, and let him settle the accounts of Babaolou this month first, and I will come to see it tomorrow. ”

Although Shi Chang was disappointed, he had no choice but to accept.

===================================================

As Lelin entered, the scent wafted in.

A few people in the hall didn't notice their index fingers moving.

The dishes were not yet set, and everyone was busy taking a look.

But see the color of the meat in the plate is red and bright, one by one, stacked neatly around the center, accompanied by a white radish carved rose, in the brown-red loin against the background, it looks more beautiful and simple.

"You put sugar?" the boy was surprised when he smelled the slightest sweet and sour smell.

And Le Lin was even more surprised, isn't sweet food popular here?

What Le Lin didn't know was that in ancient times, sugar was generally only added to some tasteless staple foods, and was rarely used in cooking. The relatively high price is a factor, but more importantly, the ancients believed that salt and sugar were two opposite spices, and when put together, they would cancel each other out, and it was not until Jiangnan dishes such as Dongpo meat became popular in the north that the world gradually changed this prejudice.

Le Lin didn't know about these, and although the young man was attracted by the fragrance, he couldn't stop hesitating, and he was also a little worried in his heart.

Ah Li didn't care so much, as soon as the dish was placed, he immediately picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. After only a few bites, I suddenly felt an endless aftertaste, and the sour and sweet taste bloomed perfectly on the tip of the tongue.

The weather is getting hotter, and the children have little appetite, but this dish is sweet and sour, very appetizing, and after eating, I hurriedly sandwiched a few pieces and put them in a bowl.

When the young man saw it, he hurriedly reprimanded her softly: "Ah Li, you forgot the palace...... What are the rules for dining in the house?"

"Remember," Ah Li nodded, and said obediently, "You can only pick one dish at a time." After that, he refused to put the dish back on the plate for a long time, until he saw the stern gaze of his brother, and immediately clamped a piece of the entrance, and he was very reluctant to put the rest back on the plate.

The boy is even more curious, usually Ah Li is not so unruly when he eats.

So he grabbed a piece of tenderloin, chewed it a few times, and exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

He didn't even care about his manners, he immediately grabbed a piece of the entrance, chewed it three times and swallowed it three times or five times, and ate several pieces at once, without the reserve he had just trained Ali.

Le Lin couldn't help laughing, and Ah Li also felt shy and embarrassed, and quietly pulled the sleeve of the young man's shirt.

The young man came back to his senses, was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and said without admitting defeat: "I only clip one piece at a time, and there is no foul." ”

It turned out that this was not a foul, Ah Li suddenly realized, and immediately followed suit and devoured a few pieces.

The boy saw that the pieces of meat on the plate were getting fewer and fewer, and he also stepped up his speed to eat.

In this way, in less than a moment, the sweet and sour tenderloin on the plate was emptied.

Except for the three slices of Chuanxiong they tasted, the tenderloin on this plate was almost half a catty, and the two of them had finished dividing it!

Ah Li licked her lips and reminisced, and asked again, "Le Gongzi, is there anything else?"

The glutinous voice and childlike expression, like Zhang Yan asking her to beg for snacks, Le Lin had no resistance at all, rubbed Ah Li's hair dotingly, and said softly: "Today's is gone, tomorrow you come, I'll do it again." ”

Ali's fair little face suddenly turned red, Le Lin only thought she was afraid of life, touched her nose with her fingers, and said funny: "I'll make desserts for you tomorrow, okay?"

"Dessert?" As soon as she heard that there was a dessert, Ah Li's eyes lit up.

The young man hurriedly interrupted, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Brother......" Ah Li didn't know why his brother was displeased.

"It's time to go home. With that, he motioned to his entourage to put down a piece of silver, picked up Ah Li and left.

Le Lin didn't know why the young man was emotionally fluctuating, and he couldn't force him to stay, so he had to say goodbye: "Then we are destined to be reunited." ”

"Didn't you say that tomorrow will be there?" the young man asked, looking back.

"Forehead ......" was originally meant to coax children, but after thinking about it, this is also a promise, Le Lin couldn't bear to disappoint Ah Li, so she said: "Tomorrow I will wait for Ah Li." ”

Ah Li was very happy, but the young man frowned, turned his head and pulled Ah Li and left with his entourage.

============================================

In the carriage, silk was wrapped on all sides, and a curtain of moon-white veil covered the windows. In the car, it was Ah Li and the boy.

"Brother, this son of the Le family is so gentle. ”

The young man nodded Ah Li's forehead, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be a little jealous: "A plate of meat will sell you." ”

"Don't you eat well yourself...... Ali muttered softly.

When the young man heard this, his jealousy became even stronger: "Look at his young age, he is very flamboyant, Ali Mo is going to be fooled." ”

Ali was careful and thoughtful because of Le Lin, and said with a good feeling: "Le Gongzi does it himself for his own industry, and it is also a progressive move. ”

"The market is a style," the young man saw that she had the heart to defend "Lelang", and he wanted to be angry with her: "The Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, the real generation is not as good as the generation." ”

"Brother!" Ah Li saw that his brother was talking more and more, and persuaded: "The imperial grandmother said that the queen of people should not say anything wrong. ”

The young man saw that Ah Li was serious, and hurriedly apologized and said, "Okay, okay, it's me who is not good, Ah Li is not in a hurry." ”

Ah Li didn't get happy, but lowered her eyebrows, and said unhappily: "However, Ah Li can't leave the palace tomorrow......

"What's so difficult about this," said the young man, "Brother will eat dessert for you tomorrow." “

"How can you compare you to eating for me and eating it yourself!" Ah Li knew that he intended to tease, so she pushed the young man hard and said coquettishly.
