Chapter 68 Nameless Qi (There is a slight fan after the text)
After the live sheep is slaughtered and peeled, it is then marinated with ginger, green onions, wine, tangerine peel, Sichuan pepper, pepper and salt.
The marinating time can be long or short, and the longer the marination will make the taste better, but she is in a hurry to eat it, so she only pickles it for about a quarter of an hour.
The pepper was found from the hands of Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and in addition to that, there was star anise. Xu Han asked Hu Shang to buy it, and then buy it from them.
The people of Dayan don't know how to use these spices, even if they are brought into Dayan, very few people buy them, and over time, Hu Shang doesn't like to bring these things to Dayan as trading goods, and even if they do, they are only enough for their own consumption.
Therefore, when Xu Han buys it, the price is very low. In addition, she also bought seeds from Hu Shang and let the grange grow them.
After more than half a year, except for star anise, all shades of materials can be self-sufficient.
At present, the seasoning used in this goat of about forty catties is sent by the Beijing suburb Grange.
"Miss, does this taste so delicious?"
"You'll know if it's good or not when you taste it in a moment."
As soon as Su Qin heard that Xu Han was directing the roast of whole sheep in the kitchen, she immediately rushed out of the room to help.
But as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was choked by the spicy smell of the room and coughed. finally moved to Xu Han's side with his mouth and nose, but saw Xu Han pick up a knife, break the goat in half, and carefully inject the sauce prepared on the side into the leg of the lamb.
The chefs on the side had never seen such a whole roasted lamb, so they all came forward to watch. I saw her bending over, carefully holding a sharp knife to break a slender slit, and slapping the mutton while slapping the sauce into the leg of the mutton.
Her hands were so fast that the chefs on the side were dumbfounded. It wasn't until she slapped all the sauce into the leg of lamb that they came to their senses.
"Miss, why don't you pour this sauce into the sheep while they are alive? Wouldn't it be more troublesome to do this step now? ”
Mingyu is a cook brought by Xu Han from the capital, diligent and studious, and his hands and feet are also sharp, he was Xu Hanti as the chef and learned a lot of good dishes from her.
Xu Han raised his hand and instructed the others to tie up the goats, and answered Mingyu's words while urging.
"Spicy and salty water, will you drink it?" She gave him a blank look and said, "Besides, I am pickling its flesh, not its stomach." ”
After the sheep are tied, they are put on the grill.
Mingyu was preparing the oil that he had brushed when roasting the lamb.
Xu Han saw that he used the traditional way to prepare oil, and he couldn't help but care about the identity of men and women, master and servant, walked forward, took the pot and spoon from his hand, and said to him while adjusting: "Mingyu, I taught you so many ways to make seasonings before, why don't you open your mind?" ”
As she spoke, she grabbed his hand and taught him how to grasp the proportions of various spices.
Mingyu only smelled a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and said that the woman was far away from cooking, but the woman next to him repeatedly taught herself how to turn food into delicious dishes.
Xu Han carefully poured the green onion into the lettuce oil, grabbed five eggs from the side, removed the egg yolk, and left only the egg white.
Finally, mix all the prepared stuff into a paste.
"See, this is the first oil we're going to brush in a moment." She paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, and said to him, "You can also add some sauce to the porridge you boiled in the morning, today's barley porridge is still a little sticky, tomorrow you try to add some egg whites to change the taste." ”
As soon as her words fell, a voice sounded outside the door: "It turns out that the porridge in the morning is from this little brother's hand, what a good craft!" ”
Xu Han turned his head and looked, isn't it Qin Liuli who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic!
And it was Xie Yu who followed.
He had a dark face, and he didn't know who had made him so unhappy.
Xu Han handed the kitchenware in his hand to Mingyu and said, "You are very good at picking the time, and you will have to eat as soon as you come out!" ”
She approached Xie Yu, and felt a little angry in her heart, "Didn't you eat enough in the morning?" Hungry? Or is this guy upsetting you? ”
Xie Yu squinted and stared at her that she was about to get hairy, so she turned her head and replied neatly: "It's not delicious, don't send it again in the future." ”
Qin Liuli's eyes seemed to be shining, and she turned around on Xu Han, who was at a loss, and Xie Yu, who had a cold face, and finally her eyes fell on Mingyu, who hung his head and said nothing, and smiled faintly: "The world's daughter, this cook, is beautiful and has good skills, it is really a blessing for the eyes and mouth, no wonder you are not happy to invite you out to eat every time." ”
Xu Han was about to explain, but saw Xie Yu sniffing at the whole sheep that was roasted on the fire with one hand behind his back, and said expressionlessly: "Is this sheep going to eat here?" ”
Xu Han hurriedly instructed his subordinates to move the roasted whole sheep to the flower hall outside, which also resolved the embarrassing atmosphere in the kitchen.
There is a Mongolian steppe in the north of Dayan Kingdom, and the grassland has its own secret method of making mutton since ancient times. It can be seen that the practice of roasting lamb has been around for a long time.
Qin Liuli and Xie Yu are not picky about food, but both of them are from nobles, and the things in the entrance are extremely exquisite, and they have eaten a lot of roasted whole sheep.
But the roasted whole sheep in front of him is full of color and flavor, which makes people appetite great.
Qin Liuli was not the one who wronged herself, and as soon as she sat down, she immediately ordered someone to cut a small piece into the bowl and start moving.
Xu Han was not far behind, she didn't like others to wait, so she took a knife and gently cut the lamb ribs.
took a bite, and the spicy taste went straight to the bottom of his stomach, and he suddenly sighed in unison with Qin Liuli.
Xie Yu's body did not move, and he watched the two people next to him feast without moving.
Qin Liuli, who has always been sensitive, glanced at Mingyu, who was standing behind Xu Han with his hands down, gestured, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.
Xu Han ate happily, he didn't notice anything wrong in the flower hall at all, and as soon as he swallowed a mouthful of mutton, he heard Xie Yu's voice slightly cold. She raised her head and looked over, only to see his eyes pointing directly at Mingyu behind Xu Han.
"You, come here."
His words fell for a long time, and Mingyu hesitated and did not move.
Xu Han had no choice but to put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth, and asked with a grin, "What did you ask Mingyu to do?" ”
Xie Yu snorted coldly: "The porridge in the morning is not bad, I want him to boil another pot." ”
"It's good that you can finish eating this sheep, why do you still need to drink porridge?" Xu Han muttered, but after glancing at the person opposite, she immediately changed her words, she turned back to Mingyu behind her and instructed, "He is not well yet, it is not appropriate to eat more mutton, you go and boil some porridge." ”
"No, I want him to boil a pot." Xie Yu lifted his eyelids and added a sentence without being salty or light.
Mingyu's face changed, and finally responded respectfully and withdrew.
As his figure disappeared, Xu Han suddenly opened her mind, she waved her hand to let the other subordinates retreat, and said helplessly to Xie Yu: "Are you angry with me?" But what did I do wrong? ”
Xie Yu looked at Xu Han, suddenly swept away the gloom just now, his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he spit out lightly: "You take care of me and work hard, why am I angry with you?" ”
Xu Han pouted, what the hell was this guy thinking?
She looked at Qin Liuli next to her as if asking for help, who knew that this person had already eaten a third of the sheep while they were talking!!
