Chapter 185: Secret Food
Liu Chan took a closer look and saw that this appliance called "Bingjian" had a very ingenious design and a tight casting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is composed of two objects, inside and outside; The outside is Jian, the height of the Jian is more than 60 centimeters, and there is a statue in the Jian, and the height of the rope is 50 centimeters. Both Jian and Zun are decorated with deformed pan claws and engraved with inscriptions. Fang Jian has a cover with a perforated pattern, and the square mouth in the middle of the cover just covers Fang Zun's neck. At the bottom of the jian, there is a movable mechanism, which is firmly fixed to the venerable rope.
There is a large gap between Jian and Zun Ling, and ice cubes can be put in the summer, and warm water can be stored in the winter, so that the wine can be drunk "warm in winter and cool in summer".
"Huh! This Panlong Iron Fang Jian is really a good thing! It's really a good thing for home travel, drinking for fun, drinking cool in summer, and barbecue in winter! Liu Chanai did not hesitate to touch the Panlong Tie Fangjian, and there were words in his mouth, and there was a strange laugh.
"How do you cool off in the summer?" Liu Chan asked thoughtlessly.
"With a fan, of course." Fan Jian looked at Liu Chan like a monster.
"I mean how to cool with ice." Liu Chan gave him a blank look.
"Ahh The dignitaries and wealthy men filled wooden barrels with ice cubes, and covered them with iron sheets of copper with dozens of small holes, and the cool air emanated from the small holes. Fan Jian suddenly realized.
"How do you get the ice?" Liu Chan asked reluctantly.
"These ice cubes are called cellar ice, just like the ice room we just had. Wealthy families dig an ice cellar and dig about 10 meters underground. In winter, when the ice freezes three feet, the ice is cut into pieces on the ground, like bricks, and stored in the ice cellar. It's ready to use in the summer. ”
"I see!" Liu Chan sighed with emotion.
However, this exquisitely crafted Panlong Iron Fangjian is not affordable for ordinary people, and the cost is too expensive. In the future, you can use your later knowledge to make simple, durable, and slightly lower "refrigerators", and in the summer, you can also start a business selling ice and cold drinks, and make a fortune.
At this time, all the horse meat had been lifted up and placed on the desk of the county government's kitchen.
The kitchen is full of smoke, fragrant, swords, shovels, noise, chopping vegetables, stir-frying and pots and dishes, forming a very beautiful symphony. More than a dozen cooks and more than 20 dings and maids are busy preparing meals, and they are very busy and busy.
Liu Chan asked Fan Jian to call six cooks over and asked them to cut off and pick up all the horses' briskets, tendons, and bones.
"Childe, which parts are the brine?" Yan Yu asked curiously.
"Horse brisket, which is the soft muscles on the horse's abdomen and near the horse's ribs, refers to the pieces of meat with tendons, meat, and oil, which is the most delicious part. Meat from many other parts of a horse's body can be called horse brisket, such as boneless strips of meat taken from between the ribs, which are more lean, less fat, and less tendon, making them suitable for braised or stewed soups. Liu Chan said with a smile.
"Childe, you know so much! Really knowledgeable! It really makes us throw ourselves to the ground and envy us. Yan Yu slapped his ass and said very sensitively.
"It's not that my son is bragging, but I understand astronomy and geography. It can be said that the heavens understand half of the story, and the earth understands everything. Liu Chan was triumphant and unashamed.
Xiang Pet Four instantly cast a slightly contemptuous, but full of admiration.
Talking and laughing, after a while, the cook had cut off all the horse belly and tendons, and picked up all the horse bones.
Liu Chan instructed the cook to wash the horse brisket and tendon from the blood, put them in a pot and cook them for 30 minutes, pick them up and cut them into small pieces, and marinate them with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and wine seasonings.
While letting them make soup with horse bones.
Half an hour later, Liu Chan walked in and asked the cook to put the shallots, ginger, and garlic into the oil pot and fry until fragrant, put the horse brisket and horse tendon into the pot together, and put the big incense bag (a gauze bag containing garlic, sand ginger, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, cumin, star anise, licorice, grass fruit, tangerine peel, insect molt, pepper, cloves and other ingredients) and ginger in it, and put it in the horse bone soup. Let them simmer for two to three hours.
"It smells so good!"
"It's so fragrant!"
"What kind of food is this?!"
"I've never seen food so fragrant!"
After boiling for a while, between the mist steaming, the thick aroma filled the entire kitchen, causing the cooks, housekeepers, and maids to almost drool.
Xiang Pet, Fu Tong, Xi Zhen, and Yan Yu were also coveted, swallowing their saliva violently, and looking at Liu Chan with awe-inspiring eyes like a fairy.
Liu Chan instructed Fu Tong and Xi Zhen to take out the sachet after three hours.
He also told the cook to cook noodles, but the cook didn't know what noodles were, so he walked over to his pet and compared them between Liu Chan and the cook for a long time, before he figured out that Liu Chan asked them to cook soup cakes.
It was not until now that Liu Chan figured out the idea of "noodles" in his later generations, which was called soup cakes in the Han Dynasty, because at that time noodles were collectively called cakes, and because noodles were cooked in "soup", they were also called soup cakes.
Their "noodles" made Liu Chan dumbfounded. After a cook made the noodles, he held the dough in his hand, pulled it into a sheet, and put it in the pot to form a flaky soup cake.
It's a bit like the knife-cut noodles of later generations.
Another cook slapped the dough into thin chunks with the palm of his hand, and then cut it into strips with a knife and put it into a pan to turn it into strips.
Liu Chan shook his head completely speechlessly, and sighed sadly in his heart.
It seems that the great responsibility of setting up a noodle and rice noodle factory, planting vegetables, breeding, opening restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, improving food culture, and improving the lives of the people of the three countries will fall on the shoulders of their young people again!
Thinking of this, Liu Chan spread his hands, smiled without smiling, and it seemed that he had no choice but to laugh and accept it.
Then, Liu Chan asked Fan Jian to bring twenty catties of salted horse jerky and slice them, and asked the cooks to cut them all into small pieces, put them all in a large iron pot, and put in the horse bone soup.
The horse bone soup just submerged the horse jerky, and then broke everyone apart and let Fu Tong put in a large sachet and simmer it with ginger.
Tell Fu Tong to take out of the pot in an hour and sprinkle with garlic and green onions.
Ten minutes later, the house was filled with mouth-watering fragrance, attracting everyone to gather around.
"Childe, what's the name of your dish?" Fu Tong asked, swallowing his saliva.
This can be asked Liu Chan, he scratched his head, lowered his head and thought about it.
This kind of flavor snack similar to his hometown in later generations is made of beef, called "Niuba", but this dish is made of horse meat, so let's call it "Maba" first.
"Let's call it 'Maba' for the time being!" Liu Chan shook his head and said with a wry smile.
He always felt that the name was a little awkward, so he would use beef to make it and call it "Niuba" in the future.
'What?' Maba'?! Fu Tong also frowned and kept muttering: "This name is really weird." ”
Liu Chan instructed the cooks to quickly prepare 200 bowls of horse brisket soup cakes, plus horse brisket, horse tendon, meat sauce, caviar, garlic, green onions, and horse bone broth, as well as 200 portions of "horse ba", and asked at least one for each person.
When the cooks, housekeepers, and maids heard that these delicacies prepared for dignitaries and nobles actually had their share, they immediately opened their mouths, knelt down collectively to worship Liu Chan, burst into tears, and kowtowed in gratitude.
Liu Chan was also stunned, he couldn't imagine that a mere bowl of horse brisket soup cakes could make them so grateful to Dade, and the ancients were too easily satisfied.
Liu Chan asked Fu Tong and Xi Zhen to keep an eye on the big iron pot and not let anyone take the big sachets.
These sachets are patented products, and if someone else takes them, there is no secret to speak of.
