Chapter 2 To Sell or Not to Sell is a question

The Lin family has a bedridden old man who has been sick for a long time, three young ladies who are like flowers, as a house slave, is there a better family than this situation? In another family, as long as there is a random man, Jia Yi doesn't have to think about it to know that he must be exhausted to death.

"Our Lin family is a good family, so I told you before I sold you, cough cough ......" Old Man Lin coughed twice and gave Jia Yi the most ruthless answer: "No discussion." ”

Peat, you dare to say that your Lin family is a good family without even discussing, are you ashamed? If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't move while lying in bed, Lao Tzu would have let you see what the rebellion of the broad masses of the people was like.

In fact, Jia Yi also thought about it in his heart, the house slaves of the Tang Dynasty were slaves to put it bluntly, and the master family could do whatever they wanted with you, frying and cooking was completely at the mercy of others, of course, as long as you paid some money to the government afterwards, but if you rebelled, even if you could escape from this house, there was no guarantee from the master family, and the beloved documents issued by the government, you would just run to the ends of the earth, as long as you were still in the land of the Tang Dynasty, you were caught, or you became a slave, and the ending may be even worse. If you can't do it, you will be assigned to a deep mountain and old forest to be a big bass for the natives (the captain of the dung picking brigade).

Jia Yi, who was deeply aware of this, directly ignored the master's answer, and discussed with him on his own: "Master, look, you have to sell me anyway, it's just that you have no money." It's better to let me manage the restaurant for a while, and if I can make money, you can take back your life, and if you can't make money, it's not too late for you to sell me. ”

"You!?" Master Lin's expression and tone did not hide his high suspicion of Jia Yi's words, Jia Yi has been at the Lin family for a few years, but except for seeing Jia Yi doing chores in the backyard and running in a restaurant, he really hasn't seen Jia Yi cook.

Jia Yi sorted out his thoughts, opened his mouth and said: "I have been here for a few years at our Lin family, and during this time of helping the chef in the restaurant, I found that the cuisine of our restaurant is very simple, except for stewing and boiling, or some simple cold dishes, there is really nothing new, and other restaurants are probably these cuisines, in fact, we can completely come up with new ones." ”

"What's new?" Old Man Lin's attention was successfully attracted by Jia Yi, after opening a restaurant for such a long time, Master Lin really didn't know what other cuisines there were besides stewing and boiling, and now he heard the new cuisine from Jia Yi's mouth, how could he not pay attention to it as a chef?

"Stir-frying, cooking, frying." Jia Yi triumphantly said these four words that everyone knew in later generations, in the Tang Dynasty, an era dominated by stewing and boiling, as long as some of the dishes contained in these four words came out, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

"What is frying?" It's really too novel, Master Lin is so big, he hasn't even heard of it, how can it not attract the attention of Master Lin.

"In fact, this frying and frying all need one item to complete, that is, cooking oil, the food made with cooking oil, the taste is extremely delicious." Jia Yi vividly sketched a dish that several people here had never seen before, and there was no way to think of the dishes that came out first, which firmly attracted the attention of the four people to him.

"What is cooking oil?" Old Man Lin is worthy of being a cook, and when he hears about new cooking items at this time, he wants to find out a thing or two as soon as he hears about it.

"Uh...... This is a little complicated, to put it simply, edible oil includes vegetable oil and animal oil, of which animal oil is commonly used in restaurants such as sheep fat, as for vegetable oil, the best is oil made from rapeseed, of course, soybean oil is also available. ”

Rapeseed oil is also one of the most common edible oils in the 21st century, of course, soybean oil is also very common, but in the Tang Dynasty without any high-tech equipment, soybean oil is very simple, but it is very difficult to preserve it for a long time.

As for the production of rapeseed oil, it is really no simpler, squeezing, and the tools are ready to use, and there is no difficulty for Jia Yi.

"Isn't it that you're going to add cooking oil to your cooking when you're cooking?" Boss Lin's thoughts are still stuck on stewing and boiling, and it is really not a simple matter to make Master Lin think of directly using oil to make food for the first time.

"I won't go into the details of the specific operation, anyway, I can make delicious dishes with cooking oil."

Old Man Lin didn't know what kind of dishes Jia Yi could make by frying and frying in his mouth, but after listening to what Jia Yi said, it didn't seem to be a fake, and his heart was a little shaken for a while.

Although Mr. Lin only has three daughters, and he will marry sooner or later, if he has a good business in their mother's family, then even after they get married, they will not be subjected to too much trouble from their husband's family.

After pondering for a moment, Master Lin's eyes gradually became firm, nodded heavily, and said to Jia Yi: "Okay, I'll give you a month, if you don't see the restaurant improve, I will still sell you." ”

"Thank you, sir."

In this era when there is no fried food at all, as long as this kind of food comes out, it will definitely cause a great sensation, and a month is too rich.

"You go to make some preparations today, and I'll let Meiyu help you." The second miss of the Lin family is called Lin Meiyu, the third miss is called Lin Baoyu, and the names of the three daughters all have the word "jade", which shows that Mr. Lin is also a master who loves money.

"Okay." Jia Yi responded happily, isn't it just to send an overseer, that's not a thing.

happily took Lin Meiyu back to the backyard of the restaurant, Jia Yi couldn't wait to get into the kitchen, rapeseed oil is definitely not in this era, fortunately, I have seen some information before, although there is the existence of brassica in the Tang Dynasty, that is, rapeseed, but rape is basically eaten as a vegetable, the stems and leaves are seasoned by cold dressing, and the taste is also good, but the rapeseed will be collected, and it will continue to be heavier next year, and it will definitely be too late to harvest rapeseed, so it is better to use animal oil to support the scene first, and rapeseed oil to take it slowly.

Fuel consumption, this process was seen in Jia Yi when he was very young, when he was a child, the pork he bought at home had a thick fat, and his mother would always remove the fat, and then put it in the pot to fry dry, and after a short while, you could see the lard, and some fried crispy meat scraps, which was his favorite.

The pork of the Tang Dynasty was considered to be dirty meat, and people with a bit of status basically would not eat it, and the poor people could not afford mutton, let alone beef. At this time, pork became their only choice for meat, so there is still a lot of pork in the kitchen of the restaurant, and there is a lot of fat.

There are no woks in the kitchen, just a few stoves, each with a large wood pot.

Jia Yi casually chose a pot and lit the fire, without putting water, directly cut off a thick piece of fat and threw it into the pot.

"Jia Yi, what are you doing?" Lin Meiyu, who was standing behind Jia Yi, kept watching Jia Yi's movements and was a little puzzled, in the past, Old Man Lin made lard, basically roasted it on the fire, and then put a pot underneath, and then I really didn't know what Jia Yi was doing.

"Fuel consumption, you look at it, there will be delicious food in a while." Jia Yi didn't look back, stared at the big firewood pot without blinking, and saw that it was one thing to consume fuel, and it was another thing to consume fuel himself, and now he was praying with all his heart, and the old lady didn't add anything else when she consumed fuel back then.

As the temperature of the wood pot increases, the fat in the pot begins to make a "zz" sound, and then a layer of transparent grease begins to condense at the bottom of the pot. Seeing the grease that appeared, Jia Yi breathed out without a trace, as long as the oil came out.

Jia Yi kept teasing the fat in the pot, and as time went on, the fat in the pot became more and more, and the fat became less and less, and some burnt meat residues began to float on the oil surface.

Pick up a clay bowl placed on the side of the stove with chopsticks, sprinkle a little salt, wait for a while, and wait until the meat residue is not so hot, then hand the clay bowl and chopsticks to Lin Meiyu: "Taste it." ”

Lin Meiyu had never eaten this kind of thing, and it was the first time she had even seen it, so her face was full of suspicion.

"Eat it with confidence, I promise you'll love it." Jia Yi showed Lin Meiyu a smile that he thought was harmless, and gave Feng a bold look.

Lin Meiyu picked up the meat scrap and carefully put it in her mouth, at first there was only a salty taste, as she chewed carefully, the unique aroma of fried meat began to spread in her mouth, a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief, but the speed of chewing the meat scrap became much faster.

After a while, a large piece of fat had completely turned into lard, and a lot of meat residue had sunk at the bottom of the pot.

When the oil in the pot is a little colder, Jia Yi began to take out the oil, as the temperature decreases, the lard will quickly condense into lumps, this is no way to do it, animal oils have this characteristic.

Looking back at the meat scraps, the bowls were gone, and when he turned around, Lin Ruyu ran outside as if he was in the wind.

"Hey, Second Miss, what are you doing here?"

"I'll take it back and give it to my dad to taste."

With a fluttering sentence, he took away the ancillary products of Jia Yi Oil, judging from Lin Meiyu's performance, if these meat scraps are placed on the dining table, they will definitely become famous dishes in the shortest possible time, but you should leave some for me......
