Chapter 11 Cooking for the first time in Datang
Chen Fang didn't say that this meal was also a treat for himself. In the past few days of coming to Datang, I don't know the taste of food, and I am afraid to eat every meal, today this oil is freshly squeezed by myself, and all the vegetables and meat are also found in the kitchen of Yeting Palace, and even the salt and spices are taken here. Of course, there are very few spices, and even Chen Fang did not find Sichuan peppercorns.
If someone wants to harm themselves, they never think that they will come to the kitchen to cook by themselves!
Chen Fang made the soup first, after all, the corn rib soup was really time-consuming, and it slowly simmered in this pot for a while. Stir-fry in other pots, and don't delay.
Fortunately, this is a place to cook for the palace maids, and there are many stoves and pots. At this time, it was not cooking time, and several cooks became Chen Fang's helpers.
A cook had already finished the work in her hands, and under the command of Chen Fang, she actually burned another stove.
Three stoves, several cooks were surprised to see it, Chen Fang actually cooked on three stoves at the same time.
And Chen Fang didn't think it was difficult at all, after all, the work of washing and cutting vegetables was all done by others, and all he needed to do was stir-fry and put condiments.
And the pork rib corn soup only needs to be simmered in a pot slowly, and it does not require complicated operations.
After a while, the aroma of the meat in the pot wafted out, Chen Fang sniffed the meat, it was not bad, but it was a little worse than his actual level, after all, many condiments were not available, and Chen Fang was not very satisfied with several auxiliary ingredients.
However, this fragrance still made Chen Fang's taste buds flutter, but the meals he had eaten in the past few days were too light and tasteless.
"Childe, it's so fragrant! Is this really the taste of pork coming out? β
There, RosΓ© couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fragrance that permeated the pot. Several cooks also smelled this smell and were amazed.
They don't cook in this kitchen for a day or two, and they have used all the ingredients in the pot, but this is the first time they have smelled it. The food in the imperial dining room isn't so good, is it?
"Didn't you see what's in the pot?"
Chen Fang asked rhetorically, his hand did not stop, a bowl of evenly stirred eggs poured into the hot oil, and suddenly a slight crackling sound continued, and the eggs poured into the pot instantly changed from liquid to solid, and the golden light was soaked with the unique luster of rapeseed oil. A unique aroma of scrambled eggs fills the air, quickly masking the aroma of the meat.
Very simple scrambled eggs, not even with any condiments, just a little salt, but at this time it exudes an intoxicating aroma.
A few cooks opened their mouths in surprise, incredible, really incredible.
Chen Fang smelled the smell of a long time, and now if there are tomatoes, a tomato scrambled egg, it is a classic of Chinese home cooking, and it is easy to eat.
Shredded potatoes with green peppers, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried lotus root slices with meat...
The same was originally the most ordinary home-cooked food for Chen Fang, and they came out of the pot one by one at this time.
The kitchen was filled with all kinds of fragrances for a while, and the surprise of several cooks at this time gradually became numb.
Peach couldn't help it, so she took a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the side, added a piece of noisy fragrant lotus root, and stuffed it directly into her mouth regardless of the heat.
"Ahh Burn me, huhu! β
The girl's expression lit up instantly, and she kept shouting hot, but her mouth didn't stop at all, and her beautiful face was filled with a sense of happiness that couldn't be concealed.
"Childe, is this a lotus root? How is it so delicious! β
"Don't you know the lotus root, cut from the lotus root into lotus root slices, don't you keep looking at it?"
"Childe, the lotus root you made is so delicious, it's even better than the one made in the imperial dining room."
"Have you ever eaten lotus root slices made in the Imperial Dining Room?"
"Blessed by the mother!"
"Childe, can we taste it too?"
When several cooks saw the peach expression, they smelled the fragrance at this time, and they didn't feel that they were speechless, wanting to taste whether this lotus root was really so delicious.
"Of course, there are a lot of stir-fried vegetables, and everyone can taste them."
Chen Fang fried a lot of each dish, which is enough for everyone to taste. As a traverser, Chen Fang doesn't have much hierarchy, although he used to be a supervisor, but he has always been in harmony with employees.
Several cooks also picked up bamboo chopsticks one after another, this one for scrambled eggs, that for green vegetables, and they were full of praise for a while.
The eyes of the two healthy women were hot at this time, but because of their identity, they didn't dare to say that they wanted to taste it.
Chen Fang picked up two pairs of bamboo chopsticks and handed them to the two of them.
"Taste it all, taste it all!"
These two healthy women are the families of the criminals, and their status in this palace is the lowest. However, Chen Fang didn't despise them at all. It doesn't hurt the family, but in this ancient time, it was obviously not the case.
Not to mention family, sometimes the neighborhood has to be affected.
"Childe, you eat too!"
There, Peach Sandwiched a piece of scrambled egg and stuffed it directly into Chen Fang's mouth, Chen Fang was caught off guard and was stuffed.
This girl is now familiar with herself, and she is a little unruly, but Chen Fang naturally doesn't mind.
"Pink, you can eat your own!"
"Childe, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious meal when I'm so old."
"The soup should be better, I'll take a look."
Sure enough, after the dish was fried, the pork ribs and corn soup stewed in the pot were also ready.
Chen Fang instructed the cook to put the soup into a coarse porcelain bowl.
Leaving some food for the kitchen, Chen Fang had already asked Taohong and the two healthy women to rush back to the oil-pressing yard with the prepared steaming meal.
squeezed out the rapeseed oil, and naturally could not snub the carpenters and soldiers who worked together.
The sunset of dusk is about to set in the west, and the clouds on the horizon are reflected red by the sun.
In the courtyard, on the newly moved stone table, the meals have been arranged, large dishes, large bowls of soup, and large pots of rice.
Several coarse porcelain bowls were already filled with rice at this time. Next to the stone table, when he left the kitchen, a jar of rice wine given by the cook had been opened.
Chen Fang beckoned two carpenters and four soldiers, and at first everyone didn't dare to sit with Chen Fang, including Taohong, Chen Fang could only hold Taohong's shoulder. Press her to a stone bench.
"Quick, sit down, won't you let me press you on the stool one by one!"
A group of people sat down a little frightened at this time, and it was already a lot of effort for this hierarchical society to let them sit with themselves.
One healthy woman didn't know why her eyes were wet, and the other hurried to wipe her tears.
"Childe's great kindness today, Meng Fei has no teeth and will never forget!"
Great kindness, Chen Fang is embarrassed, why don't you invite everyone to dinner, how to talk about great kindness.
"A meal, not to mention kindness, you have helped me a lot in the past two days, it should be me to thank you."
"It's just a meal for Gongzi, but for Meng Fei, it's the only warmth in the cold life of this palace for a few years."
Chen Fang understood, but he also sighed, and scolded again in his heart, this evil feudal society.
Of course, Chen Fang can't change anything, he can only adapt to this era and this society now. Talking about change, Chen Fang at this time is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Everyone eats, it's cold for a while."
