Chapter 83: Cramming for Chef Apprentices
In the early morning of the next day, Yin Rong, a miscellaneous servant in the house, got Yuan Rin's explanation, and went to the West Market to purchase before dawn in the early morning.
The wood ordered by the three brothers of the Lu family was sent by the timber merchants one after another early in the morning, and the mahogany of the three board cars was full of three carts, and Yuan Rin was in pain to check out, and he couldn't understand what Yin Li was doing when he bought so much expensive mahogany?
On a new day, the house was busy, but Yin Li fell asleep in the bedroom, and after staying up for most of the night to steam wine, he was tired and choked, rolled up on the bed and fell asleep, and he couldn't sleep enough to be talking.
"Mr. Yin, Mr. Yin......"
Yin Li, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Dong Xiang, and learned that Yin Rong had purchased the food he needed, dragged his tired body to get up from the comfortable bed, hurriedly washed up, and went straight to the direction of the kitchen.
On the kitchen side, Yin Rong really purchased the food materials that Yin Li needed, and the cook Yin Fan was sorting out the food materials that he purchased, but Yin Fan really didn't know how to deal with some food materials, so he took pork offal and stinky dried intestines, Yin Fan really didn't know how to get them, and he hadn't heard of these being edible.
Yin Fan and Yin Rong saw Yin Li coming, and at the same time clasped their fists and saluted: "Mr. Yin! ”
Yin Li was very satisfied and looked at the neatly arranged food and said, "Well, have you bought all the food?" ”
Yin Rong clenched his fists and reported one by one: "Mr. Yin, according to your instructions, I have bought all the pork belly, large intestine, small intestine, powder intestine, thigh bone, pig's trotters, pig's ears, ......."
Yin Rong didn't know what Yin Li wanted to do with these? Among them, the large intestine, small intestine, and powder intestines, which are not eaten by those who kill pigs, are directly discarded or fed to dogs, etc., but Yin Li wants them all, and collects a lot of people who don't know what to do? Even the butcher repeatedly confirmed whether he bought it back and fed it to the dogs.
Garlic, onions, ginger, rice vinegar, Sichuan pepper, star anise, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, sand kernels, angelica and other kitchen materials and medicinal materials Yin Rong have all bought, and the dazzling medicinal materials Yin Fan and Yin Rong are all confused, I don't know what Yin Li wants so many medicinal materials for?
Yin Fan was puzzled and clenched his fists and asked, "Mr. Yin, forgive the little foolishness, what is the use of these things and medicinal materials?" ”
Yin Li shook his head and sighed lightly and said, "What do you know, these are all treasures, are you interested in being a cook?" Interested in me teaching you both. ”
Yin Fan and Yin Rong were overjoyed, clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yin!" ”
Yin Li nodded cautiously and said, "Well, then you start cleaning the pig intestines, this is an exclusive secret recipe, not to be passed on privately, do you know?" ”
Yin Fan and Yin Rong nodded again and again, they had the intention to cultivate the chef's Yin Li, and completely changed the monotonous cooking skills of the current Tang Dynasty, it is not enough to rely on their own ability, Yin Fan and Yin Rong are the first batch of chef disciples.
The iron pot has not been sent over, and Yin Li doesn't know if Xuangu can create it, so he takes advantage of the time to teach them how to clean the pig's internal organs, as well as how to prepare secret ingredients and how to remove the fish.
The first thing is to clean up the flavorful pig intestines first, let them prepare the flour, add a little salt to the flour and sprinkle it on the pig intestines, evenly dip it in flour and salt, and then rub it vigorously repeatedly, knead almost pour some steamed wine, add an appropriate amount of rice vinegar, and then rub a tea time.
Yin Fan and Yin Rong endured the stinky pig intestines, and began to wonder if they could eat it with such a stinky smell? It wasn't until the wine and rice vinegar were poured in that the fishy smell was removed, and I had to admire Yin Li's whimsy, and the last kneading was almost the time to pour boiling water and blanch a cup of tea.
Under the guidance of Yin, the two of them explained the basics of ingredients matching, and gradually had some hazy basics for making food, until Yuan Rin walked in from outside and reported that blacksmith Xuangu had come over with something black and slimy.
Yin Li explained the rest of the cleaning procedures, threw it to Yin Fan and Yin Rong to continue, and when he walked out of the kitchen, he really saw the blacksmith Xuan Gu living up to his expectations, and came over with an iron pot that was nearly two feet wide, and the thickness was just up to Yin Li's requirements.
Yin Li nodded very satisfied and said: "Well, yes, I will refer to this later, Master Xuangu, you know your duty as a man, I hope you abide by professional ethics, don't build this kind of iron pot for others, if not......"
Xuangu couldn't hear Yin Li's meaning, and swore frankly and said: "Yin County man rest assured, Xuan Mou adheres to trustworthiness, since Yin County man confesses, Xuan Mou must keep it in mind." ”
The hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and Xuan Gu doesn't know what he wants, but he still said generously: "Well, very good, I won't treat you badly, Steward Yuan, I am taking 500 Wending more than 10 pots." ”
Xuan Gu clasped his fists and said gratefully: "Xie Yin County male." ”
"This way, please!" Yuan Rin received Yin Li's instructions, stretched out his hand and motioned for Xuan Gu to come with him, and Xuan Gu Chao was grateful and hugged his fists and left.
The pot has been ready, Yin Li took the pot back to the kitchen, Yin Fan and Yin Rong were still processing the food, Yin Li did not disturb them to deal with the food, the kitchen did not have a suitable stove, and the pot did not appear that the basic stove did not match the iron pot.
There was no way, Yin Li had to temporarily build a stove, went out to find some stones to build a simple stove, half a moment passed, a simple stove has been built, Yin Fan and Yin Rong have cleaned up the ingredients.
Yin Li asked Yin Fan to burn the stove, took a piece of pork skin to open the stove for the iron pot, picked up the pork belly of the ingredients they had sorted out and said: "Now teach you how to make fried pork belly, look at it, remember every process......
Yin Li will grind into fine sand kernels and pork belly washed, boil the water in the pot, take out and scrape the inner membrane, and then let Yin Rong boil the clear soup for later use.
Clean up the pork belly, throw the pork belly into the boiling pot of clear soup, ginger, green onions, and peppercorns, cook them over a fire, skim off the foam, scoop up the pork belly, and cut the pork belly into thin strips while Yin Fan and Yin Rong opened their eyes to observe.
Yin Fan and Yin Rong didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to make a dish, Yin Li boiled the soup again, put in the belly strips, sand kernel powder, pepper, wine, and lard and stirred evenly, added salt to adjust the taste, and in the surprised and amazed eyes of the two, the stir-fry hooked up the pot and put it on the plate, and a plate of fragrant and attractive fried pork belly was completed.
Before they digested the fried pork belly process, they vigorously taught the duck cramming, carried out the method of stir-frying the pig intestines, and heated the new cooking method of cooking with oil in the pot, which stunned Yin Fan and Yin Rong, and after stir-frying the pig farm for a while, add salt, pepper, star anise, green onions, ginger, garlic, etc., and then cover the temporary wooden lid to collect the juice.
A series of fragrant and attractive delicacies, under Yin Li's personal demonstration of the cooking process, dazzling ingredients with a refreshing Yin Fan and Yin Rong cognition, grass fruit, salt, star anise, cinnamon, oil, sugar, Kaempfera, etc., the medicinal materials they know, all of which are used as stir-fried vegetables or stewed seasonings.
Yin Li's cramming teaching, Yin Fan and Yin Rong's two apprentice cooks, fortunately approved by Yin Li to try the taste of stir-frying, the fragrant delicacies in the mouth, completely conquered the taste buds of the two, and they humbly learned this magical way of stir-frying.
