Chapter 0010 - Embark on a new position
In the past, the kitchen was generally built on the east side of the yard, so it was generally called the east kitchen, and some of the countryside was directly called the small east house, the past was different from the present, except for the full-time cook, men rarely cooked, just eat, and the general man in the family eats first, and leaves after eating, and the woman in the family can eat the rest of the man.

But it was different in Yang Yu's era, but men cooked more, and it was popular to hurt his wife. Yang Yu is not married, but as an otaku, Yang Yu's only hobby besides reading books and playing online games is cooking. Yang Yu likes the feeling of cooking, a knife, a cutting board, a pot and a spoonful, cooking ingredients into all kinds of delicious. Yang Yu is timid, Si Swenwen can't even quarrel, sometimes he is angry outside, and the kitchen is a place to comfort himself. Little by little, watching the food is ready, the aroma of the meal soothes my mood.
After coming to this time and space, Yang Yu still likes to cook, and when everyone in the old Gu family gets together, he cooks something delicious from time to time, and it is pure lying to Zhang Hu that he has a distant uncle who is a cook. What he never expected was that what got him out of the predicament at this time was not poetry, discourse, mathematics, physics and chemistry, but his hobby.
Yang Yu followed Zhang Hu to the kitchen, only to see a row of tents made of felt connected together, not like the style of the Turks, but like the style of the Han people to build houses. This little boss is Lao Li in Zhang Hu's mouth, in his fifties, he always laughs before he speaks, Zhang Hu arranged Lao Li naturally agreed, took Yang Yu to the cooking place, and arranged two people to help Yang Yu cook.
When he arrived in the kitchen, he naturally wouldn't be hungry, Yang Yu first stuffed a cake into his mouth with a little leftover meat, and the two cooks naturally knew that these people couldn't eat enough every day, so they only looked at Yang Yu and smiled, and one of the older ones brought Yang Yu a bowl of water, and Yang Yu thanked him gratitiously.
Yang Yu took a closer look at the kitchen to fill his stomach, it is estimated that because these kitchen workers are all Han people who have been captive, the style and knife case of this kitchen are almost the same as those of ordinary Han kitchens. I looked at the ingredients again, but I frowned, there are all kinds of flavors, but the ingredients are very short, I thought about asking the two helpers, and the two of them led Yang Yu to another tent, the tent was full of all kinds of ingredients, not only should there be everything, but there were some rare materials, such as Jiang Yaozhu, glutinous rice noodles, corn, I think this is all grabbed by the Turks, otherwise the conpoy must be produced by the river and the sea, glutinous rice is produced in the south, and corn is in the north, but it is also a rare thing, and many people still don't know it. The Turks certainly do not plow. Fortunately, it's cold for this looted thing, so you don't have to worry about it breaking.
Since the tools and ingredients were not a problem, Yang Yu asked Zhang Hu how many people they were, and then started cooking with vigor. Yang Yu told Zhang Hu that he had a distant uncle who was a cook, but he was not fake about making iron pot stews. Yang Yu loves cooking and food, and after coming to this time and space, he quickly ate all kinds of delicacies in Liuguanjuyi. And Liuguanyi as a border city, there are many merchants from the south to the north, the caravan comes back from outside the Saiwai, must want to eat a bite of the taste of the hometown the most, before the caravan goes out of the city, also wants to eat another ironed hometown meal, the small Liuguanyi is not only many locals to operate food, but also a lot of people who were originally caravans see that it is profitable, simply settle down here to operate the food of their hometown, so the most distinctive food in various places can be found here.
Yang Yu loves to eat, but also loves to ponder, pondering how to make it, if you don't understand, just ask, Liu Guanyi has an old couple from Chengshan who runs a small shop of iron pot stew, delicious and not expensive, Yang Yu They often go to eat, come and go, Yang Yu is confident that there should be no problem in making an authentic iron pot stew.
Yang Yu put the beef bones in a pot of cold water, after the blood water in the pot was exhausted, skim off the foam and wash it, then wash it with warm water, and cook the soup in another pot. Take the beef brisket, cut it into pieces, soak it in water and wash it, and let the blood slowly precipitate. It takes time to prepare both of these preparations, just in time to prepare the tortillas and other dishes, and when the other preparations are almost ready, the soup is ready, and the brisket is all gone. Green onion and ginger fryer, then add beef to stir-fry slightly to bring out the aroma, add the boiled and filtered broth, then add spices, then add mushrooms, wolfberries, etc., bring to a boil, simmer slowly.
How this meal is cooked is directly related to the "work position" of Yang Yu's slave career, Yang Yu is naturally doing his best, using all his might, tonight Zhang Hu and they are only six people in total, there are not too many dishes, plus the two helpers arranged by Lao Li, after a while, a steaming iron pot stew will be ready. Lao Li hurriedly arranged for someone to serve the food, and asked people to serve two cold dishes together, and then stepped up to make the rest.
The nomads mainly eat meat and dairy products, but also eat a little corn flour, rarely eat vegetables, and only occasionally dig some wild vegetables to eat, so it is essential to trade tea with the Central Plains. However, the nomads boiled beef are large pieces of pot, and when the water boils, the beef turns white, then take it out and cut it to eat, after cutting, there is blood and water in it, and the meat and vitamins in the blood are not destroyed by the high temperature, perhaps because of this, they mainly eat meat, but the body does not get sick because of eating less vegetables. Fortunately, the trophies in the warehouse are rich in variety, so Yang Yu can show his strengths, otherwise there is only meat and salt, and Yang Yu will not be able to do tricks even if he is possessed by the kitchen god.
When all the dishes are ready, Yang Yu will have nothing to do, so he can only wait in the kitchen nervously, hoping that this meal can satisfy a few overseers, and he can stay here as a cook, so he doesn't have to worry about being hungry anymore. At first, there was no movement in the tent where the overseers were eating, but after a while, maybe a few glasses of wine, the overseer's voice was raised, and only the shouting and screaming came, and it seemed that he should have eaten very happily.
These six overseers, who are in charge of all the overseers of the entire mausoleum construction, except for the Turks, basically belong to the top of the pyramid among the Han people. But here in the wilderness, you can't go to the Qinglou or listen to operas, and you can't ride and shoot like the Turks, and you don't go out to hunt or wrestle for fun all day long, so eating and drinking has become the only pleasure.
As soon as the other five people rushed back today, they heard Zhang Hu boast that they would change their food today and try the famous iron pot stew in their hometown. Who knew that when it was time to eat, as soon as the dishes came up, it really surprised the six people, the first was the iron pot stew, and sure enough, as Yang Yu said, as soon as the aroma came in, the soup was golden and rolling.
Zhang Hu was impatient, picked up the chopsticks and tasted a bite of the stew, and applauded after eating, and the others also picked up the chopsticks when they saw this, and the taste was mellow and fragrant, and there was no fishy smell at all, and the six people quickly poured the wine to start the feast. Then six hot dishes came up, three of which were still recognized by a few people, and knew that they were: burnt fragrant ru, braised bamboo shoots in oil, stir-fried tofu, and the taste was delicious that they had never tasted, and then there was one that barely knew that the main ingredient was ham, and the other two dishes had never seen before. Everyone ate well, Zhang Hu also felt that he had face, and after a brief introduction to the others, he immediately ordered Lao Li, who was accompanying him, to call Yang Yu.
At this time, it was already dark, Yang Yu was anxious, Lao Li opened the door curtain and came in and shouted: "Little brother, the overseers have called you over." Yang Yu hurriedly agreed, and the tent where the overseers who came with Lao Li were eating, and when the tent curtain was lifted, the smell of wine and food came to his face, and he saw six overseers sitting around a table of eight immortals, sitting on the maza where Yang Yu was sitting, and they turned their heads to look at the movements when they listened.
Yang Yu didn't have time to take a closer look, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "Villain Yang Yu, I've seen all the adults." These overseers drank almost all the wine, their faces were flushed, Zhang Hu waved his hand, and said with a big tongue: "See, this kid made our dishes, what's the matter?" Not bad, right? ”
A bald triangular eye with a slightly dark complexion nodded and said, "Well, it's good, I've worked as a cook before?" ”
Yang Yu hurriedly said what he said to Zhang Hu again, and Zhang Hu said impatiently: "It's not a son-in-law, why do you ask so much?" Yang Yu, tell me what these two dishes are first? He gestured to the dishes on the table.
Yang Yu replied: "This one is shark fin silk, and this one is called three things." Yang Yu saw that the overseers didn't recognize shark fins, and he was afraid that they would not look good, so he said: "The adults must have eaten this wing, but the villain changed his method, so several adults didn't recognize it." This dish is called three things, but it is said that it came out of the palace, it should be simmered slowly with abalone, fat chicken, and hoof tendons, but the abalone and fat chicken villain did not find it, so they replaced the abalone with scallops, and replaced the fat chicken with lamb, the taste is worse, and please bear with me. ”
The overseers had heard of shark fins, but they had never seen fin silk, and they always thought that they had to be fin-shaped, how could they know that they were filamentous, and they showed their timidity in front of a hard worker, and their faces couldn't help but be red, and they knew that Yang Yu could speak, and found steps for them, saying that they had changed their methods, and couldn't help but think "This kid is good", and then heard that the three things were palace dishes, and believe it or not, they couldn't help but feel proud, thinking that they had also tasted the emperor's dishes. While happy, the bald and triangular-eyed overseer said angrily: "If you lack anything in the future, just tell me, and I'll arrange for someone to get it." Fifty miles to the east is the big river, and when I turn around, I ordered someone to catch some abalone, and the fat chickens are even better, and those adults go out to hunt and come back with a lot of sand chickens every time. ”
Yang Yu heard that he thought that the abalone was a fish in the river, and he didn't dare to correct it, but he just agreed, and asked: "Dare to ask the adults what are the shortcomings, and then prepare for the small ones." ”
Zhang Hu grinned and said, "No need, it's enough." Then he said to the bald and triangular-eyed overseer: "Old smelly, I gave you this person, let him cook for our brother in the future!" ”
Yang Yu thought to himself: It turns out that he is the old stink mentioned by Zhang Hu. I only heard the old stinky say: "Okay, it just so happens that there are a lot more people arrested recently than before, and I am short of people here." Your name is Yang Yu? I'll leave it here to work from now on. Naturally, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking here, you have to be diligent in your hands and feet, and you will naturally be indispensable to serve our old brothers. ”
Yang Yu was relieved in his heart, and said happily: "Yes, yes, thank you Lord Zhang and all the adults for your grace!" The villain must do his best to satisfy all the adults! ”
Maybe I was really satisfied with the food tonight, and I felt that I was a new person, so in order to show my reward, I picked up the wine jug on the table and gave it to Yang Yu, and said, "The kid is good, take it, this wine is rewarded to you, go down and rest." ”
Yang Yu hurriedly thanked him, took the wine and came out with Lao Li, Yang Yu was completely relieved at this time, and when he came out of the tent, the cold air was agitated, and he only felt refreshed, and he couldn't wait to shout a few times to vent.
Lao Li said to Yang Yu: "Come with me and get you a place to live." But the words were a little cold.
Yang Yu was not carried away when he was excited, he noticed Lao Li's coldness, his heart suddenly woke up, he immediately stopped, and said to Lao Li: "Uncle Li, the kid has just arrived, thanks to your help, I coaxed a few overseers to stay happily, and this wine will give you Lao Nuan to warm your body." The kid has no other benefits, that is, he is obedient and diligent, if you have any work in the future, just leave it to me, the little one has no two hearts! As he spoke, he stuffed the wine into Lao Li's hand.
Lao Li was unhappy because he saw that Yang Yu's cooking skills were much higher than his own, and he could speak spiritually, so he could directly talk to the overseers, and he was afraid that he would take his place in time. At this time, seeing that Yang Yu was so sensible and showed his intentions, he was relieved, and immediately smiled on his face, and said while pushing and conceding: "This kid, your uncle can still be greedy for your wine?" ”
After several pushes, Yang Yu finally stuffed the wine into Lao Li's hands. Since Lao Li had gone to have a heart disease, people became enthusiastic, and asked someone to prepare a futon for Yang Yu, arrange a place to live, and then go back to serve.
At night, Yang Yu was very satisfied when he lay in bed, first of all, he would never have to worry about being hungry in the future. In Yang Yu's previous life, he had never had the experience of not being able to eat, and after he really experienced it, he really knew that if people's basic needs were not met, everything else, what life and what ideals were all floating clouds!
Secondly, this is a real bed, there is a mattress under him, and the quilt on his body is not the broken quilt that followed him on the road to the north, and his stomach is full. After being excited for a while, Yang Yu calmed down a little and prepared to sleep, but suddenly remembered something, and said secretly: "It's broken!" Bitter also! ”
