Chapter 11: Hu Cake VS Steamed Bun

On the second day, Xiaolan made breakfast with Hu cake, millet porridge and small pickles. Hu cake is the staple food of this era, similar to oil cake, but there is no oil and no dough.

The surface is yellow and black, chewed in the mouth, astringent and sticky.

But Long Kun Kun and Xiaolan both ate with relish, and the grass was even sweeter.

Only Qin Chuan was hard to swallow.

In this era, although the raw materials are pure green and additive-free.

But the recipe is too crude, and the cooking method is too scarce.

This makes Qin Chuan, who is accustomed to eating modern food, can't help but feel that he has no love.

If this continues, Qin Chuan feels like he will go crazy.

Therefore, Qin Chuan decided to cook and eat by himself at noon.

Qin Chuan first went to the kitchen to look at the ingredients, and found that there were Chinese cabbage (cabbage, which will be replaced by cabbage later), lotus roots, and some leeks in the kitchen.

And the meat, it's just mutton.

In this era, people with status and status disdain to eat pork.

And cattle need to be cultivated, and it is a crime to slaughter them for no reason.

As a result, beef is not available on the street.

Those aristocrats, who usually eat the most, are probably mutton.

If you are more extravagant, you will eat venison.

With these dishes at hand, I can make a few dishes.

But the most crucial point is that Qin Chuan can't cook......

As an online writer who has been at home all year round, ordering takeout is the right way to eat.

In the end, Qin Chuan still decided to let Xiaolan do it by himself.

First of all, Qin Chuan has eaten enough Hu cakes, he doesn't want to eat Hu cakes anymore in his life, he just wants to eat white flour steamed buns.

Of course, steamed buns actually existed as early as the Three Kingdoms period, and it is said that they were created and invented by Zhuge Liang.

But at that time, there was no alkali for the dough.

Until the Tang Dynasty, steamed buns were still not popular in a large area, but popular as a staple food.

Qin Chuan was suspicious, afraid that it was not because there was no alkali that they made the steamed buns into Hu cakes.

Qin Chuan first opened the mall, found yeast powder, and found that the price was actually worth one hundred krypton.

It's really a black-hearted mall, but in order to eat steamed buns, Qin Chuan endured it.

After buying a packet of yeast powder, Qin Chuan asked Xiaolan to make noodles.

Then let the dragon kun go out to buy a few catties of fat pork and come back.

Because Qin Chuan just found out in the kitchen that in this era, there is not even edible oil.

In this era, there are no peanuts, but there are already beans.

With beans, it is possible to squeeze soybean oil, but now it is obvious that it is too late.

So, for the time being, it can only be replaced with lard.

After mixing the dough, put the dough in a basin and let it wake up.

At this moment, Long Kunkun wrapped a few catties of fat pork in lotus leaves and walked in.

"Don't boil up, a few people from outside the house have come to visit, let me report it."

Someone looking for me? I just came to Chang'an City, and I don't know anyone?

Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask, "You didn't ask who they were?" ”

"There are three of them, and the leader is a little black fat man, and he says his name is Cheng Chuliang. ”

Oh, it turned out that Cheng Chuliang and these goods came.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but say, "You go and invite them in." ”

After that, Qin Chuan walked out of the kitchen and went to the living room first.

Not long after, Cheng Chuliang, Qin Huaiyu and Yu Chi Baoqi followed Long Kunkun to the living room.

Behind them, there were more than a dozen small servants, carrying several large boxes.

The little guys carried the box into the room and put it down carefully, looking very heavy.

Qin Chuan couldn't help asking, "Cheng Chuliang, what is this?" ”

Cheng Chuliang smiled and said: "Big brother, there is 100,000 yuan in the box, which was sent by the eldest grandson to that kid, and I will send it to you without hurrying." ”

It turned out that it was a bet of 100,000 yuan.

This bet was made by Cheng Chuliang, but it was won by Qin Chuan.

Cheng Chuliang sent the money over early in the morning, exquisite!

Qin Chuan is just short of money, and this 100,000 yuan is really timely rain.

"Big brother, you don't know, now Fang Yiai's handstand and the things that have been poured into his mouth have spread throughout Chang'an City! Ha ha! ”

"After he Lao Tzu knew about this, he went home to perform family law, beat him hard, almost broke his leg, and locked him up for three months after the matter was over, so that he could think about it behind closed doors!"

Qin Chuan asked with some curiosity: "There were no outsiders at the scene at that time?" How could it be spread that the entire Chang'an City knew about it? ”

Cheng Chuliang smiled exaggeratedly: "Wowhahaha, this still needs to be asked, of course we helped him publicize!" ”

Suddenly!

Well, there were only a few of them present at the time, and it turned out to be a few of them who were propagandizing, so it's no wonder that the entire Chang'an City people who could spread it knew it.

These guys are really not good things.

"Big brother, the money has been sent to you. I'm happy today, I'm in for a treat, let's eat and drink! ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but say: "That's it, don't go to the restaurant today, I made a few delicacies, and you haven't eaten them." You've eaten here before you leave. ”

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Big brother, what you said is too big, right?" We have eaten all the restaurants in Chang'an City, and if we want to say that we have not eaten food, no one has made it! ”

Qin Chuan smiled and said: "Then today, the eldest brother will let you see and understand, you wait here for a while, I will urge you, and it will be fine soon." ”

Yu Chi Baoqi said with a smile: "Since the eldest brother said that there are delicacies that we haven't eaten, it must be good, and we can feast on it!" ”

Qin Chuan got up and went to the kitchen, ready to instruct Xiaolan to cook.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Qin Chuan found that Xiaolan was exclaiming at the warm face.

"Wow! Young Master, what did you just add to the noodles? This side was launched all at once! Look, such a drum! ”

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Qin Chuan smiled slightly.

This noodle is made with yeast powder, and the noodles that come out are of course good.

However, this yeast powder, for a while, is not easy to explain to Xiaolan.

Qin Chuan said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, you make steamed buns first, and I will guide you to cook later." ”

"Yes, yes! The young master is really powerful! I really know everything, and I can actually cook! ”

Xiaolan was ingenious, and quickly made steamed buns, put them in a large pot, added water, and let Long Kunkun boil water.

And next, Qin Chuan began to teach Xiaolan how to cook.

However, as soon as Qin Chuan walked in front of the cabbage, that is, the cabbage, a prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

"If you find the ingredients, do you want to upgrade your cooking skills?"

Well?

Isn't there less than 10,000 krypton gold worth now, which is not enough to upgrade at all?

Why is the beep sounding?

But soon Qin Chuan remembered, by the way, Cheng Chuliang had just sent 100,000 yuan.

That is, there is just an extra 100,000 krypton gold value, which is indeed enough for upgrades.

Qin Chuan didn't know how to cook in the first place, and if he instructed Xiaolan to do it, it would definitely not be much better.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan immediately said, "Upgrade your cooking skills." ”
