Chapter 7 Stealing business
Don't look at the Tang Dynasty, there is no stir-frying, and the method of steaming and cooking is also very simple. But when it comes to barbecue, it's definitely not worse than the ones from later generations.
First, the ingredients are good.
Regardless of fish and sheep, it must be pure natural green food, and it has never been fed, it has been polluted, and it has a special "meat taste".
Second, the single way of eating forces the chef to rack his brains to make things well.
Therefore, in Datang, as long as it is a kitchen, it is a barbecue master, and the heat and seasoning are all first-class.
Wu Ning doesn't usually eat meat, rarely roast sheep, but there are a lot of fish! In the small ditch on the edge of the col, there are so many grass carp and silver carp that no one wants to catch them.
Every time he is hungry, Wu Ning has to go to the river to fight tooth sacrifices, and the barbecue skills are naturally skillful.
As soon as he heard that he wanted to roast, he didn't need Wu Ning's orders, Wu Li trotted to the back of the house and picked up a handful of dogwoods, while Huzi found a long pole and went to the plum tree next to the mountain road to pocket a handful of green plums.
Even Qiao'er obediently rolled up her sleeves and washed a piece of fresh ginger, and the four of them cooperated tacitly.
......
In fact, the best way to roast mutton is to put nothing, grill the fresh chops directly on the fire, sprinkle a little salt when roasted until golden brown, and eat the most original fresh flavor.
But this roasting method has to be freshly killed live sheep to take meat, and the meat quality is naturally as fresh as possible, like a large chop at Wu Ning's hand, but it is not good.
After all, Fangzhou is a small place, and there are few people who can afford to eat mutton, so the butcher shop is naturally not diligent in slaughtering. If you leave it for a long time, you will lose that fresh energy.
Therefore, Wu Ning had to change his approach.
"Where's the honey?"
"Bought it!" Wu Li hurriedly took a small jar the size of a fist.
Wu Ning opened it and saw that it was such a small jar, and the thick honey in it only covered the bottom of the jar.
Wu Li on the side stared at the jar and grinned, "That's it, it's expensive to die, it's ten big money!" ”
"Huh." Wu Ning smiled lightly, "Ten big bucks for food, is it expensive?" ”
"Expensive!" Wu Li nodded affirmatively.
"It's not expensive!" Huzi shook his head vigorously.
"Look, you're not as good as a tiger." Wu Ning was even happier, "It's not expensive at all!" ”
Humans are animals, from monkeys to heaven, and if they are carefully calculated, they will definitely spend more than half of the productive forces created on this mouth.
Later generations forgot where they heard that on this earth, in addition to humans, the total weight of species is about 300 million tons. The combined weight of the world's population is 700 million tons.
However, in order to feed these 700 million tons, there are billions of tons of chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep that are raised in captivity for human beings to satisfy this mouth.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, everything is done for the sake of eating.
From being full to eating well, this pursuit is above all else. Then you say, are these ten big dollars still expensive?
Put the green onions, as well as the fresh ginger that was scattered, together with the dogwood fruit, green plums and salt, into the lamb chops to taste, and after a long time, Wu Ning took out the lamb chops and carefully smeared them with honey.
At this time, Wu Li had already cooked the oven, put the lamb chops on the upper rack, and instructed Wu Li to "watch." ”
"Okay!"
Wu Li should get down, staring at the lamb chops without blinking, for fear that the wings would fly.
With his free hand, he took the rice that Huzi had taoed, took a good look, and finally was still not at ease, so he bought it again.
At this time, the bone broth in the pot was almost boiled, and Huzi was greeted, and the two of them took the soup and the pot to the side.
I found a large vegetable bowl that usually holds porridge, sat directly on the stove, smeared a layer of slippery on the basin with mutton fat, and then poured the rice into it and began to steam the rice.
Hehe, don't think that Wu Ning is having a good life this day, and he can afford to eat white rice.
Wrong!
Although rice is a refined grain, it is far less precious than later generations believed, that is, it is a little stronger than corn (millet).
In this era, the most precious thing is not rice, but white flour.
At first, Wu Ning didn't understand that according to the cognition of later generations, good rice should be more expensive than flour, but it was not the case in the Tang Dynasty.
First, there is no good or bad thing about rice or white flour.
To put it bluntly, where did there be so many varieties in this era, and give you Wuchang rice, Xiangxiang rice, Hebei's flour is the strongest?
It's all the same, the same yield, the same thing.
The so-called good or bad is only the difference between the grinding and the amount of rice husk and wheat bran when grinding.
Another reason why flour is more expensive than rice is the issue of productivity.
To put it simply, flour from wheat to mill requires more manpower and processes than rice, so it is expensive.
......
By now, the two stove eyes were occupied, and nothing else could be done, so the four dolls began to guard the lamb chops, staring at each other with big eyes.
"Brother Jiu'er...."
"Huh?"
"You said that the money has always been.... Is it really earned by a soup stall? Wu Li was idle, and he mentioned the matter of money again.
"yes, really."
"Then I'll talk to my father, don't go to the kiln, and set up a stall on the side of the road."
"Get out!!" Wu Ning was so angry that he almost didn't go away.
Grandma's, this is coming up to steal business? And it's also his own brother, so he really can't be too good!
"Wouldn't it be nice for us to be together?"
"What a fart!"
Is Changluo Mountain really Jiuzhaigou? One more is not more, one less is not less, anyway, there are many tourists.
Changluo Mountain is a little bigger, Fangzhou is not a big city, and there are a number of people who come to the mountain every day to make waves.
"If you really set up a stall, then it's not a consistent earning, but five hundred per person."
"Oooh!!" Only then did Wu Li react, "Then I won't mention it." ”
“......”
"Don't worry." Wu Ning knew that he was unintentional, "Wait for two days, and then find you a good job." ”
"What's the job?"
"I'll hire you to dig a cellar."
"Cellar? What cellar? ”
"It's the kind of ice cellar that the big families in the city have."
"Uh-oh." Wu Li understood, nodded, and turned his face to think, "What are you digging the ice cellar for?" ”
Glaring, "That thing isn't cheap, and you'll have to get a stone after digging." Otherwise, when it gets hot, it's mud inside. ”
"The cellar will do, and I won't store ice."
"So what's there?"
"Where did you come from so much, why?" Wu Ning was impatient, "Save the vegetables!" Can't you? ”
“......”
Although Wu Li didn't dare to ask anymore, he was beating a drum in his heart, "Save vegetables?" ”
"Vegetable cellar? What's the use? ”
Just when I still wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to ask, the courtyard made a loud voice, and someone came again.
"Where is Kuro? Come out and show the fourth uncle, is it white again!? ”
The four children only listen to the sound, and they don't need to look at people, just happy at the same time.
Wu Li didn't even care about the lamb chops, and rushed out with Wu Ning, Huzi, and Qiao'er.
"Fourth Uncle!!"
I saw a black and strong man in the courtyard, dressed in armor, with a straight posture, a big smile on his beard, and hugged Qiao'er.
"Qiao Niang is handsome again."
"What's the matter, do you want to be the fourth uncle?"
......
