Chapter 58: Cooking for My Daughter-in-law
According to the time calculation, the wave talent who defeated Yingyin must go north directly and confront the combined forces of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in Changshe. If my very meagre knowledge of history is not mistaken, the Battle of Chosha will become an important battle.
However, in general, Bocai was not able to completely surround Zhu Jun, otherwise this military order would not have been sent. The possibility of camouflage cannot be ruled out, but if it is camouflage, it is impossible for Zhu Yong not to see it.
"There is nothing wrong with the secret mark and handwriting, it is the master's own handwriting!" Zhu Yong also felt Li Ming's inquiring eyes, and nodded back.
Only then did Li Ming begin to check the military order, and there was not much content, and there was not much content in a piece of bamboo slip. Probably: well done, I wrote down the credit, and I will repay the credit when I go back! Now there is a shortage of people here, so quickly send troops to Yingyin and cut off the back road of Bocai!
Well, minus other ornamental terms and mood particles, that's pretty much what it means!
"I see, cut off Bocai's back road, so that he has to divide his troops to deal with it, so that Shizun should be able to find a way to deal with Bocai!" Li Ming immediately guessed Zhu Jun's intentions, but if he didn't move, wouldn't he be in danger?
The troops of 2,000 people, many of whom are still recruits, directly deal with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army?!
"Captain, if Zhu Jun doesn't attack in time, then we have to directly face the 200,000 army of Bocai?" Fortunately, Xi Zhicai's eyesight is good, and he saw Li Ming's hesitation, so he immediately helped to say it.
"Eh, how can you say that? Zhu Jun is my master, how could he not come to support? Don't talk about that in the future! Li Ming immediately pretended to be angry and directly reprimanded Xi Zhicai.
At the same time, it is inevitable that Zhang Fei wants to cause trouble and abuse Liu Bei from time to time, it turns out that he is following such a routine?
"Peace of mind! Since the head of the family accepts you as an apprentice, and you are a personal disciple, then naturally he will not watch you die. You must know that the disciple is like a half-son! Zhu Yong sighed and said slowly.
"If you're ready now, when will you be able to leave?" Li Ming looked at Xin Bi.
"It's almost afternoon now, so even if you're ready, you won't be able to leave until early tomorrow morning!" Simbi replied.
"Okay, tell me to go down and leave tomorrow! As for tonight, I will go to Yingyang City a little bit, and you must be careful to handle the affairs of the army! Li Ming said solemnly.
"Whoa!" Everyone should be, as for where Li Ming went, everyone knows that now everyone knows that Li Ming has become the son-in-law of Xunfu. And Xi Zhicai, who participated in the banquet, couldn't help but sigh that so many young heroes were ultimately defeated.
Strictly speaking, he is still a little happy in his heart, and it is obvious that the lucky one cannot be him anyway, so he is naturally happy when he sees that it can't fall on others; Second, Li Ming has such a strong ability, isn't it the right choice to follow him?
Li Ming is indeed leaving, or is he going to fight with others. After knowing that the skill would be interrupted, he had to be careful to guard against the existence of those who knew the yellow-level martial arts, especially the existence of the yellow-level martial arts plus the method of practicing Qi. If one accidentally hits a few fatal wounds, it will definitely kill people.
"Prepare a sheep, a few pork tripes, a few chickens, and a few seasonings...... Li Ming came directly to the back kitchen and found Lao Zhou. If the materials Xunfu will have, but he feels that he still brings his own materials this time, so he can be sincere.
If you can, it's also a good choice to study pork belly chicken, but there are not enough medicinal materials, no white sugar and no pepper, and it is almost impossible to present this dish perfectly, which is undoubtedly a pity for Li Ming.
"Have you found the lotus leaf?" Li Ming asked, "Or the big leaves that don't smell anything!" ”
"I found a squatting owl leaf, but the mouth of the wrapped flower chicken will itch when you eat it! My subordinates are thinking about soaking it in water first, then cooking it once, and then wrapping the chicken to try it, maybe to avoid this problem! Lao Zhou arched his hand and replied, "Maybe you can go to Xunfu to have a look, generally this kind of family will always have one or two lotus ponds!" ”
Squatting is the ancient name of taro, squatting leaves are taro leaves, and the same as fruits, if this thing is eaten directly, it will stimulate the mouth and throat, making it itchy to death, and the pain is unbearable. Therefore, the taro seedlings eaten are all pickled to remove those irritating substances.
"Okay, I'll take it and try it! If you really can't eat soy sauce**! Li Ming thought for a while and said. He had tried to brew soy sauce before, perhaps because of the recent good weather, and the soy sauce had been initially successful.
It's just that there aren't many of these things, after all, there aren't too many soybeans this year, so Li Ming is very precious about this thing.
"Subordinates, let's prepare!" Li Ming made soy sauce chicken once before, the method is very simple, the key is the soy sauce, the combination of the two did not expect the chicken to be smooth and fragrant, which makes people want to eat it.
It's a pity that this time there is no part of him, and he can't make that taste without soy sauce!
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Ming had already come to Xunfu, handed over the things to the Xunfu family, let them take them to the back kitchen, and went to the hall himself. Xun Qi also didn't see Li Ming for three days, and walked out with a smile.
"Why did the virtuous son-in-law come in a hurry tonight? I also brought so many ingredients......" Xun Qi asked curiously.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is about to go on an expedition tomorrow to recover Yingyin. Parting is imminent, so I plan to cook for my father-in-law, several uncles, and Cai'er! Li Ming arched his hand and said.
"Eh, why should the virtuous son-in-law be so polite, if you want to eat, you can come directly to Xunfu! Although the Xun family is not a wealthy family, it is not a problem to eat some delicious food! Xun Qian shook his head, this son-in-law has also heard of the way of cooking, and Xun Cai admires it very much. It's just that Xun Qi thinks that this way of cooking is a small way in the end!
"Brother Ming, do you want to cook it yourself? Going on a campaign? Xun Cai hurriedly ran out at this time, but her words were a bit laughable, is eating delicious food more important than her fiancé's upcoming expedition?
Sure enough, Xun Cai, this little girl, is actually really a little glutton?
"Hahaha! Even if it is for Xun Cai, you have to cook it yourself before you go out! Father-in-law, but I don't know the house or can I know where there are lotus leaves? There is a new dish that needs lotus leaves! Li Ming asked with Xun Qian arching his hand.
"Okay, let the old man try the craft of a virtuous son-in-law!" Speaking of which, Xun Qi is not easy to wipe Li Ming's face. Then he found a subordinate and asked him to pick some lotus leaves in the lotus pond in the backyard.
"Father-in-law later, son-in-law will cook! But I don't know, where is the back kitchen...... "Li Ming was about to cook, only to find that he didn't know where the back kitchen was. Fortunately, Xun Cai was clever and walked over with Li Ming directly, saying that he would also fight.
"Brother Ming, what are you going to do this time, this is what you call soy sauce? The taste is salty and delicious, and you don't know how to brew it? Cai'er thinks that if she specializes in this, she is afraid that she can make a lot of money! Xun Cai is like a lark, chirping all the way, and even tasted the taste of soy sauce curiously, which is also extremely respected.
"It's good to use this as a unique secret recipe, and if you make money, there are even more profitable things!" Li Ming would not say that he and Xin Bi had reached a deal for potions, and at the same time, he also asked Xin Bi to bring him some castrated suckling pigs and other spices.
"What is this?" The moment she saw the pork belly, Xun Cai was very curious, she saw this thing for the first time.
"It's pork belly, you know it's delicious! Seriously, although the pork tastes very harsh, it is rare that the taste of the offal has not changed, and this is the best result! Li Ming rubbed his hands, this was a very good discovery.
"Hee-hee, it's actually a pig's stomach, right? In order to be able to learn how to cook, Cai'er also learned a lot of things! But does this stuff really taste good when cooked? "Although Xun Cai knows what pork belly is, how to cook pork belly is a problem.
Except for Li Ming, no one knows how to cook some things.
"Fortunately, I brought an iron pot here!" Li Ming smiled, this is the iron pot he brought, made by a special craftsman, in fact, the original iron pot should be the same thing as Ding, but that thing is too troublesome to use.
Oil is ready-made, and the children of the family are also indispensable for eating. But it's also expensive, so you can't add much. Li Ming also added an appropriate amount, and then directly stir-fried a ginger pork belly, the fragrance came to the nose, and it directly aroused Xun Cai's gluttony.
Taking advantage of Li Ming's inattention, Xun Cai actually boldly took a piece and tasted it directly in his mouth.
"This one is delicious!" Xun Cai just tasted it a little, and immediately became intoxicated, the key is that the more you chew, the more delicious it is, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, this is a rare superb!
Li Ming actually likes pork belly very much, especially pork belly chicken. It's a pity that the price of their pork belly there is too expensive, and most of them are frozen, and the taste is not so good, so they don't buy it often. Moreover, fresh pork belly is also troublesome to handle.
"Did you wipe the mud?" Li Ming shouted outside, and according to his instructions, the subordinates of Xunfu wrapped the lotus leaves in five chickens, tied them with ropes, and finally endured the nausea and smeared a layer of yellow mud on the outside.
"Good!" Li Ming directly picked up the mud, put it in the big pit dug out, and buried the soil for people to light a fire on it.
"Is this something you can eat?" Xun Cai is a little worried, this is mud!
"Guaranteed delicious! I'll do something else! Li Ming smiled, and began to put the pieces of mutton that had been divided by his subordinates on the grill net he brought, and carefully grilled it, whether it was brushed with some oil and soy sauce, or even some cumin.
"It's a pity that there are no chili peppers, otherwise it tastes better!" Li Ming said with a little regret.
"Where's that chili pepper?" Xun Cai was already attracted by the taste of mutton skewers.
"There may not be no Huaxia, but I'm afraid it will only exist outside of Huaxia." Li Ming regrets that the origin of chili peppers is Mexico, so chili peppers are commonly used in Mexican cuisine. At this stage, Huaxia is naturally gone.
There may be peppercorns and rattan peppers in Sichuan, but if you want to eat authentic peppers, it's no fun!
Rao is like this, three meat, two vegetables and five dishes, and finally it is completed, divided into several portions, and served to the hall.
"A little bit of the kid's heart, see the smile!" Li Ming bowed his hands to everyone present and motioned for everyone to taste. Xun Chen was disdainful of Li Ming's behavior, and even felt that such a brother-in-law was a little embarrassed. Only Xun Yu feels that Li Ming is open-minded and worthy of deep friendship. On the contrary, Xun Yan, who was already in a semi-secluded state, sat down generously and waited for Xun Qi's instructions.
"The dawn is going to go on the expedition, and it should have been me waiting for the banquet! Unexpectedly, the virtuous son-in-law cooked by himself, and these dishes just smelled fragrant, and the fruit was extraordinary! Xun Qi is also very satisfied, these dishes are indeed very special.
Even if he smells it now, his index finger is still moving at his age. If it's just an interest, forget it, it's just a waste of time. But willing to devote himself to serious study, Xun Qi is very satisfied with Li Ming's attitude, and he is also very satisfied with these dishes!
