Chapter 14 The Qin Mansion Cooks

"Old man Yang, can you please stay in the village for a few more days? I would like to ask you to teach the people in the village to hold a boat, and by the way, teach them how to swim, in addition to three meals a day, how about I pay you fifty yuan a day? ”

On the three-sail clipper, Sun Xiangfu supported the boat while looking at Yang Shunshuidao, who was staring at him.

Yang Shunshui couldn't imagine that such a small village, so many things would happen in one day, which made him admire Sun Xiangfu, a sixteen-year-old boy, more and more, and heard that teaching people to row and swim in the water can get fifty literary wages a day, Yang Shunshui was very happy, nodded again and again, and said that it was no problem to stay until the end of the year.

In the evening, Sun Xiangfu directly asked his younger brothers and sisters to pack up the simple house and move to Hu Cai's house, and he was the village chief in the future, and the house naturally belonged to him, the house had four or five small rooms, and Yang Shunshui naturally lived here.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, a few people supported the boat to collect fish, plus yesterday's harvest, loach and yellow eel each had more than 100 catties, also thanks to Sun Xiangfu as the village head, and now the public property in the village is also at his disposal, two buffaloes were pulled out, and the back was made of a stretcher with bamboo, and two large wooden barrels full of fish were set up on one side, Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali each took a cow, pulled the cow peg and waved the bullwhip to Cuiyun Peak.

Before leaving, Sun Xiangfu not only told Sun Erli to carefully teach everyone to weave fish cages and not hurt their hands, but also brought the fine iron pot that had not been used after it was built.

The footsteps of the ox in the fields and mountain roads are no less than that of horses, so it was only about ten o'clock in the morning, Sun Xiangfu and the two arrived at the Qin Mansion, and the atmosphere of the Qin Mansion today is different from the past, the middle door is wide open, and there are many soldiers and men leading the horses in and out.

"Uncle De, seeing that there are a lot of people in the house today, I don't know if these fish are enough to eat."

Uncle De followed Sun Xiangfu's hand and looked into the several large wooden barrels unloaded from the cow's back, and saw the buckets full of yellow eel loaches swimming.

"I'm afraid it's not several times the usual amount! Yes, it is in line with the master's thoughts, I will ask someone to go to the account room to get ten yuan of money, don't leave at noon, stay and help the helper, just have a meal in the sea. ”

When Uncle De saw that the number of fish was more than he imagined, his mood immediately improved, there were many generals in the army who came today, all of them were pot-bellied, and there was less fresh food, but he didn't dare to snub the guests.

"That's right, I brought a fine iron pot, I just wanted to teach Aunt Meng a few new dishes, but it seems that I want to show my skills."

Saying that, a few people have already carried the fish to the kitchen, my obedient, the Qin Mansion asked someone to ride a fast horse to the county market today to buy, on the table of the fire room, the ingredients are piled up like a mountain, not only seasonal vegetables, but also several well-killed pigs and sheep.

"You look at it, there are enough ingredients here, if the guests eat well, the master will definitely have a reward."

Just do it, after Sun Xiangfu read the ingredients and ingredients, he immediately knew the bottom of his heart, Uncle De is the steward of the concierge to welcome guests, so naturally he can't accompany him all the time, and when he arrives in the kitchen, there is Aunt Meng, the steward here, to greet him.

"Aunt Meng, I taught you the loach stewed cucumber and steamed yellow eel, you can do it, arrange someone to help kill the fish and cut the material, just leave me half of the fish, and this pork, all the pig's trotters are cut off, the loin is cut into small pieces, the good meat on the belly is cut into large pieces, boiled in a large pot first, as for the sheep, roast it directly outside the house, cut small mouths with a knife, brush a layer with honey first, don't mess the sheep's belly, I want to stuff something into it······"

Aunt Sun usually doesn't have experience in cooking big banquets, but at that time, the ingredients were basically chopped and boiled in one pot by type, which was very convenient, but since Sun Xiangfu taught her a few dishes, she began to understand that different processes, different ingredients, different cooking methods, and the taste of the things cooked out are naturally different, so she kept everything Sun Xiangfu told her in mind, which is a craft that can be heirlooms.

"Fish and sheep are easy to say, but this pork is generally eaten by those ordinary soldiers, why should we divide it so carefully?" Aunt Meng said puzzled.

"Hehe, the pork is ready, and it is also delicious, I am afraid that when the time comes, some nobles will go to grab the meat in the soldier's bowl to eat." Sun Xiangfu smiled very confidently, and set up the ingredients, green onion, ginger and garlic sauce, a large bowl of chopped and packed, found a few fat chickens, stuffed onions, ginger, garlic and boiled eggs into the stomach, and smeared some mixed materials such as rice wine and soy sauce on the chicken skin, and finally stuffed the whole chicken into the belly of the sheep.

Roast lamb is no stranger to the cooks of Qinfu, but they have never done it before by smearing honey on the mutton, they don't know that sugar has the effect of improving freshness, and they don't know how charming the aroma of the 'wild honey' of sugar is after being mixed with meat.

The whole sheep is roasted is not a matter of time and a half, there are Qin Mansion kitchen workers to watch the fire, and after the servant responsible for killing the fish is finished, Sun Xiangfu began to look for something in the kitchen to shelf the wok, because his fine iron pot does not have a corresponding stove, fortunately, the Qin family has smelted iron for generations, and there are many iron tools at home.

"Aunt Meng, the secret of roast mutton is to brush honey to improve freshness, it is very simple, but this stir-fried dish, but only the process is right to produce delicious, but also depends on the heat, the strength of the pot at hand, the frequency of stir-frying, etc., I will show you the stir-fried eel first! Note that the fish are easy to cook, and if the fire is too pasty, so, look at the ······"

I saw Sun Xiangfu pour a spoonful of fat fried with fat pork into the hot pot with an iron spoon, and added a little ginger and garlic to the pot.

After a while, the flame was extinguished, the iron spoon in Sun Xiangfu's hand quickly scooped up the salt, dogwood, sauce into the pot, suddenly, the fragrance was better, and a few more times, seeing that the fish had changed color, Sun Xiangfu grabbed a handful of green onions and sprinkled them into the pot, at this time, all the kitchen workers in the kitchen had already stopped what they were doing, when did they smell the food fragrance that went straight to people's brains.

"Stir-fry the yellow eel silk out of the pot, plate."

Ignoring the Hadazi on the side of her mouth, Aunt Meng brought over a plate containing food, Sun Xiangfu directly poured the pot into the plate, and used a spoon to make the eel meat on the plate look better, so she made a gesture of invitation and motioned to Aunt Sun to taste it.

"This, so quickly, a dish is ready?"

"The ingredients have already been set, of course they will be fried quickly, hurry up and taste it, if it is delicious, I will often make it for Grandpa Guo in the future."

As a cook, a sensitive sense of taste is a must, and she is not afraid of being hot, so Aunt Meng sandwiched a piece of yellow eel silk into her mouth, and suddenly, she only felt that the pleasure index in her head soared.

"Good, good, delicious, really delicious, chewier than steamed eel, much fresher, more fragrant······"

When Aunt Meng was full of words of praise, in the banquet hall, a hairy humanoid monster twitched its nose.

"Hey, what a smell, it's so fragrant."

The banquet hall is not far from the kitchen, and the villa is built on the mountainside, so there is often a hall wind, and the fragrance of the kitchen is so strong that it will naturally spread to the living room.

While the hairy-faced humanoid monster was still sniffling, another black-faced old man who was no less tall than him flashed his figure, walked out of the living room, and went straight to the fire room.

"Yu Chi Dasha is really stupid enough, I can't smell that there is the best food out of the pot, so I'll taste it first."

Hearing the sound that had gone away, the hairy-faced humanoid monster reacted at this time, and chased after it with a shout, only in the living room, Qin Qionghe, who was chatting with them, smiled helplessly.

"Alright, you little ones will come with me to the kitchen and see what we have today!"

"Yes, Uncle Qin, Uncle Qin······" A dozen or a half children originally knelt in the hall with upright rules, and after listening to Qin Qiong's words, they immediately ran happily in the direction of the fire room.

Qin Qiong thought that the fish he had eaten in the past few days was already extremely delicious, and for this reason, he didn't care about rewarding Sun Xiangfu for sending fish a few more dollars.

When Cheng Yanjin, who was dressed in tendon meat, and Wei Chigong, who had a long beard, rushed to the kitchen, Sun Xiangfu was making the second stir-fry, returning to the pot meat, the fragrance of this dish was still on the fried eel, and the flames in the pot were almost to the roof.

"Who cooks so violently, no wonder it has such a strange fragrance."

Cheng Biting Jin almost immediately snatched half of the fried eel silk in Meng Damiang's hand that was eaten by the kitchen workers, and didn't use chopsticks, he directly took a piece of meat with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and after chewing it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his mouth snapped quickly.
