Chapter 60: Stepping Up Cooking

"Caught up. The giant tiger got out of a carriage.

"Big brother, I'm here. The giant tiger laughed.

"Well, it's good that Huzi is here, I'm going to go to Yan Country on this trip, I don't know Huzi, do you want me to go with me?"

"Wherever the eldest brother goes, I will go, but I have no two hearts by drive. The giant tiger touched his head and said.

"Good brother. Be careful on this trip. Zhong Tianzheng patted Huzi on the shoulder, and the two of them got into the carriage together.

Zhong Tianzheng called the captain of the first team of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and asked, "How long will it take to walk to the border after leaving the city?"

"Your Excellency, it will take about ten days, and after leaving the city gate from here, you will pass through a forest before you can reach the official road. ”

"Change to another way, go directly to the official road, and set off. ”

"Yes!"

"Get on the pipe, reroute. ”

The envoy's carriage slowly descended on the road.

Zhong Tianzheng sent a letter to Juhu a few days ago, asking him to go to Fengshi Villa, the purpose was to inquire about the recent situation of Tianzheng Inn, but he didn't expect to suddenly send an envoy to Yan Kingdom, so he changed his mind. If you want the giant tiger to accompany you on the road, with the martial arts of the giant tiger, I believe it will be much safer.

"I don't know any of these people, what if they all run away at the critical moment? I'm not that stupid. Zhong Tianzheng thought to himself.

"Actually, the strength of the giant tiger is already good, the system says that it has reached the strength of the ground level, and the giant tiger has not practiced any martial arts, just with one body of bravery, the horizontal muscle training has reached the current level, it is not easy. Zhong Tianzheng thought to himself.

"Big brother, I miss you after not seeing you for a long time, after you left, the business of our inn is getting better and better under the leadership of the new chef Li Along! Every day we are busy until the evening before closing, guess how many gold coins we have earned?"

Zhong Tianzheng thought to himself: "It is estimated that there are at most 1,000 gold coins, and the wages of these two people." ”

"Two thousand gold coins?" Zhong Tianzheng said a little higher, because he thought that Li Along's cooking skills were not low.

"A full three thousand five hundred gold coins, this is still excluding the expenses of my brothers, how about the eldest brother, my brother didn't disappoint you. The giant tiger said happily.

"Awesome, you've worked hard this time. Zhong Tianzheng looked at the giant tiger approvingly.

"It is conceivable that you are too hard and tired during this period?" Zhong Tianzheng sincerely cared about the giant tiger.

"Hehe, I'm not tired, I eat well and sleep well every day, Li Along's cooking skills are good, and many people love to eat his food. The giant tiger touched his head and smiled.

"Hehe, look big brother, I brought something here. The giant tiger put the package behind him beside Zhong Tianzheng.

"What is this? Huzi, you brought all the more than 3,000 gold coins in the store!!

。。。。。。

Tianzheng Inn, after Li Along got up, after washing up habitually, he went out to buy ingredients, and then returned to the door in large bags.

"Huzi, come over and help get the ingredients, Huzi~ Hey, did you oversleep today?"

Li Aaron muttered that he had pulled all the ingredients to the back kitchen by himself.

Since Zhong Tianzheng was not in the inn, in order to maintain the normal business of the Tianzheng Inn, and in order not to let others find out, Zhong Tianzheng did not let the system disappear the Tianzheng Inn, but canceled the automatic function, so the automatic maintenance of the Tianzheng Inn was canceled, and the ingredients would not be automatically put into the kitchen. Everything has become like an ordinary inn, but fortunately, Li Ah Long and Hu Zi are diligent in doing things, if Zhong Tianzheng comes back at this moment, he will definitely say.

"Everything seemed the same as when I left. ”

After Li Along pulled the heavy ingredients to the back kitchen, he returned to the main hall of the inn from the back kitchen.

"Tiger Child~"

"Hey, what about people, Ao is right, the ingredients I bought today have not been reimbursed with the money in the account. Li Aaron habitually reached into the counter, found the key, and opened the drawer, but was dumbfounded.

"There's no one??? I'll go!"

Then Li Aaron was on the counter and found a letter left by Juhu.

"What kind of writing is this, it's like a ghost drawing, the words are scribbled, and there are patterns drawn. Li Aaron said complainingly.

However, Li Along, with 120,000 points of energy, barely understood the meaning of the giant tiger.

"Brother Aaron, I'll send money to my eldest brother and come back at another date. ”

Huzi~~~ You come back for me!" Li Along raised his head to the sky and shouted.

。。。。。。

"Oh no. Zhong Tianzheng covered his face with tears and laughter.

"This Aaron is miserable now. Zhong Tianzheng thought about it and knew the situation that Li Along was facing.

"Hey, hey, the eldest brother is his own person, Li Along is an outsider after all, if I don't give the gold coins to the eldest brother, maybe I can still be insured. ”

Zhong Tianzheng smiled, not knowing what to say.

After walking for a while, the giant tiger fell asleep.

Zhong Tianzheng entered the cooking space. Add green onions, ginger slices, 7 or 8 peppercorns to a pot of pork belly with skin in cold water, and bring an appropriate amount of rice wine to a boil.

Skim off the foam, cook until eight ripe, remove and cool naturally (chopsticks can be inserted). Slice the meat into thin slices, slice the ginger and garlic, and cut the green onion into diagonal sections.

Pat the white part of the garlic with a knife and cut it all diagonally into pieces for later use. Put the wok on the heat, add a small amount of oil and stir-fry the chili pepper and peppercorns. Add the slices of meat and stir-fry until the slices become transparent and the edges are slightly curled. Stir-fry the meat to the side of the pot and add the Pixian bean paste (you can chop it finely first) to fry the red oil. Add a little soy sauce or sweet noodle sauce to adjust the color, and stir-fry well with the meat slices. Add the green garlic, a little cooking wine, and the sugar to taste good.

Meat selection should be fine: fresh pork to be slaughtered on the same day, fat four hind legs two knives, thin six wide and three fingers, too fat is greasy, too thin is burnt, too wide and too narrow are difficult to form.

Boiled meat to be seasoned: boiled meat in clear water, it is difficult to produce the aroma of meat, therefore, after the water boils, you should first put in ginger (pat it open with a knife), green onions, garlic, pepper hanging soup, etc., and then put in the washed pork, six ripe to pick up and set aside, can not be cooked too soft.

Cutting meat should be skillful: many people wait for the meat to be cold and then cut, fat and thin are easy to break, hot and hot when it is hot, it is difficult to even the knife, the chef who knows how to take the meat to soak it in cold water, take advantage of the cold outside and the inside when the knife is hot, if there is a refrigerator, you can put the freshly cooked meat in the freezing room for two or three minutes, which is better to cut. The ingredients should be proper: the watercress must be authentic Pixian watercress, chopped with a knife, and the soy sauce should be thick and can be hung on the wall of the bottle. Cooking should be accurate: mastering the heat is the key to returning the meat. Use medium heat, after the meat slices, that is, chop the finely chopped Pixian bean paste, mix and stir-fry, so that the unique color and taste of the bean paste penetrate into the meat. It can boil the meat slices into a roll shape one by one, commonly known as "lamp nest". When the meat slices are nested, immediately put in a little sweet noodle sauce and soy sauce, or put a few drops of cooking wine and a little chicken essence to increase the fragrance and umami, and then immediately add the ingredients, change to high heat, and stir-fry until cooked.
