Back at Taishou Mansion, Bai Yang instructed Zhao Yun, Zhu Yan and others to rest. He went into the kitchen and directed the cooks to get busy.

Bai Yang doesn't have anything to do for the time being, he hasn't been to the kitchen for so long since he came to Taishou Mansion, so he happened to come and see it today.

To be honest, it hasn't been long since he came to this era, but Bai Yang is not very suitable for all aspects. No mobile phone and no Internet are not uncomfortable for him as a soldier, but it is too inferior in life.

Let's talk about dressing first, for a later generation, the dressing of this era is extremely complicated, and it is not very convenient to wear and walk like this.

Of course, there is also daily washing, which can be said to be the point that Bai Yang wants to complain about the most. Didn't ancient people brush their teeth? Don't wash your face or hair? Of course, all of them are there. But people don't pay too much attention to this aspect of hygiene, don't think about brushing your teeth and the like, and you don't have that condition.

Most of the people who go out to see the streets are a mouthful of yellow teeth, and there are also some officials, old men, and wives who usually pick their teeth after eating some meat, how can ordinary people have this habit.

Washing your face and hair may remember to wash it, and there is nothing to decontaminate, so people's lives can be imagined.

Later, in response to these personal hygiene problems, Bai Yang specially asked the elders to buy some salt, and stipulated that the people who were too shou fu must clean their mouths with salt every morning, and at the same time they must wash their faces and hair, and wash their personal sheets, covers, and clothes once a week to keep their personal hygiene clean.

So the biggest difference between the people in the Taishou Mansion and the ordinary people outside may be that their teeth are white, their clothes are clean, and their hair is more tidy.

Finally, it's about eating, and his life is very good. But Bai Yang is mainly full every time he eats, and he has never been like later generations, he can be said to have a dish that he wants to eat, and he regards eating as an art and enjoyment, and most people who may live in this period can eat a full meal, and people are already very content.

So after he returned to the house today, thinking that there was nothing important, he sent Zhu Yan, Zhao Yun and others to busy his own business, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Lord Taishou, why did you come to these places? Get out of here, this is not the place for adults! will stain you. "A few kitchen guys were preparing for the evening banquet ordered by Bai Yang, and suddenly saw Bai Yang come in. Hurry up and say hello to Bai Yang, and ask Bai Yang not to come into the kitchen.

Bai Yang saw that everyone persuaded him to go out, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll come in and take a look, you do yours." ”

In fact, when everyone asked him to go out, he had already thought about what was going on. As the old saying goes: 'A gentleman cooks far away.' To put it bluntly, a gentleman should stay away from the place where he kills and cooks.

Of course, in addition to the literal meaning, Bai Yang thought that there was another meaning: the person who was busy in the kitchen should not be a gentleman. Because most of the chefs are butchers, they want to kill chickens and cows, which is not what gentlemen and literati should do.

In the hearts of ancient people, a gentleman should be well-dressed, smiling, holding the books of sages and sages, and reading the Four Books and Five Classics orally. You shouldn't be like a butcher with a greasy coat and a fierce eye, a knife in his hand, and a fat and thin man in his mouth.

As a result, everyone has a consensus: a gentleman is a civilized person, a butcher is a vulgar person, and civilization and vulgarity are so easily distinguished. Therefore, everyone yearns for civilized people and worships scholars.

After a few people persuaded him for a while, they saw that Bai Yang just didn't go out, and he was particularly interested in all kinds of things in the kitchen, so they didn't persuade him again. Anyway, he is also too guarded, he wants to come here, and these people don't have the courage to really drive him out.

"How do you cook here? Take me on a tour of the back kitchen of our Taishou Mansion. Bai Yang saw that everyone was not driving him, and said to everyone with a smile.

Hearing that Bai Yang wanted to visit their place of work, several people were still very excited. However, the kitchen is managed by the back office, so most of them are older women, and the only man among them is in his fifties.

Because he was a man, Bai Yang thought that he must have asked him to do some manual work in the back kitchen, all of which were old women, and they didn't have the strength to do some work. Hearing Bai Yang's question, the old man hurriedly said, "Lord Taishou wants to visit our kitchen, then I will take the adults to visit!" It just so happened that the old man was fine. ”

"Okay, then it's troublesome. The rest of you don't have to keep watch over me, go get busy. ”

Hearing Bai Yang say this, everyone walked away and went their own way, and they were busy again.

"Taishou-sama, you come with me." The old man took Bai Yang to a place similar to a warehouse and introduced Bai Yang.

On the whole, it is relatively formal, with warehouses dedicated to meat and vegetables, as well as places dedicated to grain. These two places are separated, otherwise if you provoke the rats, everything will be ruined.

After that, the old man took Bai Yang to visit the place where they usually wash and cut vegetables, and then returned to the place just now, and introduced some of the processes of cooking to him.

How so? Overall, except for the cooking process, everything else is good. During this period, people did not have too many seasonings for cooking, let alone oil and the like, and there was no concept of stir-frying. If you eat meat, you add some meat to the dish, and the more luxurious ones are like the hand-handled meat in the previous life, boiled in a large pot, and everyone takes a few pieces of meat and puts them next to them to eat.

Bai Yang looked at everyone's cooking process and called everyone over.

"I'll show you, if you see that this meat is not, you can cut off the white part separately in the future, just like me." Bai Yang said, cutting some of the fat on the pork and asking them to heat the pot at the same time.

"My lord, why don't you add some water? This pot is all burned red, and the life of the pot after using it a few times like this must be short, and it may break when it will break. Several old women saw Bai Yang on the side that he had been letting the fire burn, but there was no water in the pot, and they felt that the pot would be burned out after a long time, so they hurriedly said to Bai Yang.

"Oh——, my goodness! You burn slowly, it's too hot. Bai Yang looked at the person who was burning the fire on the side, he was real, Bai Yang let the fire burn prosperously, but he didn't expect that she was a veteran of the fire, so he burned the pot red when he cut some fat, and hurriedly put some water to cool down. After that, I ran a little water in the pot and put the fat in the pot and stir-fried.

"Tingla", watching the meat in the pot slowly stir-fry and the oil was fried out, and gradually a smell of meat wafted throughout the kitchen.

"Lord Taishou, this is too fragrant." As they spoke, they sucked hard a few times in the direction of the big iron pot, looking intoxicated.

Bai Yang continued to stir-fry the fat in the pot until half of the oil flowed from the pot. Then he put some salt, fished out the meat scraps from the oil, and told them how to store them.

After that, Bai Yang tried to fry a plate of green vegetables for everyone with lard, and everyone tasted it and said it was delicious. Bai Yang also tried to eat a few bites, and it couldn't be compared with the dishes with various condiments in his previous life, but the overall was much better than the boiled vegetables that people eat now.

"I saw all the frying oil just now! In the future, fry a little more and store it, and if you are afraid of spoilage, you will have a lot of salt in it. In the future cooking, we will use this method more, you can fry some other vegetables or stir-fry some meat, of course, you can also match meat and vegetables to fry, everyone has nothing to think about and ponder, and strive to get the food of our Taishou Mansion up. Looking at the scene of everyone's yearning, Bai Yang guided everyone a little again, hoping that the meals in the future could be enriched and the food could be improved.

Bai Yang saw that there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only wait for the snow this winter to see if he could give everyone a hot pot meal. When you think of the deliciousness of hot pot, it is indeed a unique taste.

Thinking of all the things that have happened in the past few days, although I am very busy, I have gained a lot. Taking a handful of oil residue and putting it aside, Bai Yang shook his head and walked out of the kitchen, humming a song while eating the oil residue: "Yes, it's still the taste of childhood, but it would be better if there was a little sugar." ”
