Chapter 49: Finding the Seasoning
"Senior Brother Ginseng, I'm afraid I can't eat simmering pork belly." Palet had a bitter face, she actually made this dish for herself, because simmering pork belly has the effect of dissipating cold in the middle of the temperature and tonifying the spleen and invigorating qi, which is especially suitable for her.
"Why can't you eat it, is the pork belly not fresh?" Ginseng looked sideways at the pork belly on the board and looked fine.
"Senior Brother Ginseng, it's not that the pork belly is not fresh, but that I still have a few seasonings." This pork belly is quite fresh.
"Spices? What's missing? Ginseng was full of curiosity, he also saw it just now, the seasonings in this kitchen are quite complete, I don't know what seasonings Senior Sister Hua lacks.
"There is still ginger, atractylodes, pepper, ginger is yellow, and then ......" Palet introduced each spice, from color to appearance, ginseng listened carefully, and after listening, he replied with some uncertainty, "Senior Sister Hua, I seem to have the pepper and atractylodes you want there, ginger you see if you have this in your pharmacy?" ”
Because the pepper and atractylodes that palet said are both medicinal materials, so the ginseng believes that this ginger should also be a medicinal material, but they don't have this medicinal material in their pharmacy, and Imperial Doctor Zhang likes to study medicinal materials very much, maybe he has it in his pharmacy.
Palet listened to the words of ginseng, and the whole person was full of hope again, her simmered pork belly was hopeful, and the two of them acted separately, and soon the seasoning was found by the two people.
Palet held the hard-won medicinal herbs and burst into tears.
"Senior Sister Hua, what else can I do?" The chicken was also ready, and the ginseng fell into the embarrassment of having nothing to do, and Palet looked at the washed and clean chicken and said, "Senior Brother Ginseng, you can help me find some wine and maltose." "According to Palet, there is maltose in this era, but the taste is not as good as in modern times, but it can still be used.
"Okay." Ginseng obeyed my sister's instructions and went to find wine and maltose.
Palet began to prepare boiling water to blanch the pork belly, then put the atractylodes, ginger and pepper into the pork belly, found needles and threads to sew the pork belly, and punctured the small hole of the pork belly with a needle to sew the pork belly, put in water, boil over high heat, and cook for an hour on low heat.
In the time of boiling pork belly, palet began to mix the juice used for cold dishes, considering that some people eat spicy and some people don't eat, palet is ready to make cucumbers not spicy, beef and pig ears spicy, this juice palet decided to make a little more, if these three dishes are not enough to eat, then cut something else, mix with this juice to eat, convenient and fast.
As soon as palet finished preparing the juice, ginseng came in with wine and maltose, "Senior sister, I have found something." ”
"Okay, now please ask Senior Brother Ginseng to help me put the chicken in boiling water and boil half a cup of tea, then take it out and drain it, then rub the chicken body with salt and wine, marinate it for two quarters of an hour, take it out and dry it." This time, palet took the initiative to assign tasks to ginseng without waiting for anyone to ask, and the ginseng was very happy about it.
In fact, if this chicken can put MSG, it will be absolutely amazing, but unfortunately there is no MSG in this era.
Palet watched the ginseng start to move, she also began to chop vegetables, and both of them entered the busy, but Palet hadn't been busy for long before she heard a familiar voice, "Flower girl, what are you doing here?" ”
Mama Yuan asked a standard question.
"Mama Yuan, I'm cooking, why are you here?" For this Mama Yuan, Palet still has a little respect in her heart.
"How's it going?" Mama Yuan did not answer why she came.
"Almost, is Mama Yuan going to help?" Palet replied to Mama Yuan's words seriously, and sent an invitation to Mama Yuan.
