Chapter 53: Cooking Tips
In front of the brick kiln, the brothers of the Feilong Gang were worried, and the hard work of the past few days finally had to come to fruition, and success or failure was also in one fell swoop.
Pushing open the sealed mud wall, what greeted me was a sea of bricks and stones, densely packed with red bricks neatly arranged, like soldiers waiting to be reviewed. Pick up a piece and put it in your hand, the surface of the red brick is as smooth as a mirror, as bright as jade, like a crystal gem, take a small hammer and knock it hard, and the line does not move.
"It's beautiful, it's so beautiful, I've grown so big, I've never seen such a good red brick, and building a house with it is almost the same as living in a crystal palace?" The rooster muttered to himself, as if in a dream.
Han Niu was a little puzzled: "Why is the color different from the one burned in the brick kiln village?" ”
The rooster glared at Han Niu viciously: "Why do you want to be the same as them, the things they burn out are not a few green, and it is uncomfortable to look at, you see our bricks, red as fire, bright as jade, much more beautiful than them, and much stronger, living in this kind of brick house, the heart is bright!" ”
Qian Yu pinched his nose helplessly: "When we burn bricks, because of the high temperature, sufficient oxygen intake, and the use of cooling kiln extinguishing method, the iron element in the bricks is fully oxidized, so it has the current red color." If you want to burn green bricks, the whole incineration process needs to be cooled and deoxygenated with water from time to time, and the cooling must also be cooled by water cooling, which is not only time-consuming, but also more complicated, and we can't compare. ”
Looking at the bricks in his hand that were almost as transparent as glass, it was difficult for the rooster to accept that the burned things were not as good as others: "I don't care, anyway, we are better than them." ”
Qian Yu sighed: "The bricks used to build a house must be rough on both sides, so that it is conducive to the full bonding of the mud. I didn't think about this beforehand, so we failed this time. ”
"Huh? Failed? At this time, even Yue Fei couldn't accept it: "How could such a good thing fail?" Even if you can't use it to build a wall, you can use it in other aspects, right? ”
Qian Yu thought for a while: "Either use it as a stone to pave the road, or send a few pieces to each person, you can choose yourself." ”
Yue Fei......
This failure was expected by Qian Yu, a brick from billet to molding, the process is extremely complex, if you want to succeed again and again, it is difficult to complete without dozens of tests.
In fact, the bricks burned today have exceeded his expectations, and the whole process of his operation is no problem, just make a little improvement, and next time he will definitely be able to burn a good brick.
A new round of firing began, and Qian Yu added some cement formulas and bricks of different sizes this time, in order to find the best plan for firing bricks and stone in the shortest possible time.
Compared with the exploration and attempt of the brick kiln process, Qian Yu has summed up the complete lime firing method, and at the same time increased the sales of lime.
Originally, the purpose of Qian Yu's lime burning was to build houses, in order to subsidize the use of the gang, they sold some roosters, but not much, and now the bricks are not burned for a long time, and the lime is not resistant to storage, so they simply opened up the supply.
*******
"Is Boss Yue here?" This time it was Aunt Li who came, and unexpectedly Aunt Li was followed by the monkey daughter-in-law.
Seeing that the brick kiln and lime kiln were burning in the flames, Qian Yu, who was bored again, took the initiative to greet: "Boss Yue is not here, Boss Qian is here, the eldest lady is here to send money?" ”
Aunt Li: "It depends on whether you want it or not, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants at home, and the old body wants to buy some lime to sprinkle." ”
The monkey's daughter-in-law blushed and whispered: "Ke oil and Ke oil, the slave family has been neighbors with the eldest mother since childhood, and later after the slave family and the monkey got married, the eldest mother also took care of us a lot......" After a few days of getting along, she has become somewhat familiar with this new brother, but she is still weak in her speech.
Qian Yu slapped his thigh: "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, the things you burned out of your own house are not worth anything, you can use them at will." ”
Seeing that Qian Yu said kindly, Aunt Li also relaxed, she didn't want these discounts, she was just a woman's family, and she was always nervous when she ran to buy things in the old nest of the black club, so she found the monkey daughter-in-law: "That's not good, your things are not blown by the wind, how much money should the wife and son not lose." ”
Qian Yu: "In this case, you give a penny, and you can pull things as you like!" ”
"Really?" Seeing that Qian Yu was not as difficult to speak as he imagined, Aunt Li's businessman personality was immediately exposed: "The old body will thank you first." ”
After speaking, she took out a penny from her arms and handed it to Qian Yu, and beckoned: "San'er, pull the car in!" ”
Then Qian Yu saw a young man in his twenties, pushing a trolley one meter five wide and four meters long, carefully moving this way.
Aunt Li smiled: "Boss Qian, I don't want more, ten cars are enough." ”
Hearing this, Qian Yu was sweating profusely: "Auntie, where are you buying lime, you are trying to empty our warehouse!" Just this big car, we can't burn a kiln enough for you to load a car, and a penny is not enough for firewood! ”
Seeing Qian Yu's bitter face, Aunt Li seemed to be ten years younger: "Boss Qian, the old body is joking with you, let's just pick up a few pieces." ”
Qian Yu......
Seeing that Aunt Li was leaving, Qian Yu hurriedly stopped her: "Aunt Li, don't you still have a 'cooking technology guide of the kitchen god QQ', or use it today, I'm afraid that I will leave in a few days, and you can't find anyone if you want to." ”
Aunt Li shook her head with a smile: "Boss Qian, it's not that the old body looks down on you, the old body has been making scallion pancakes for forty years, how much oil is put on one or two sides, how many green onions are pinched with one finger, it will not be wrong to close your eyes, if you want to guide me, I'm afraid it will ......"
The rest of Aunt Li didn't say anything, but even a fool understood what she meant.
The monkey daughter-in-law hurriedly pulled Aunt Li's sleeve: "Auntie, you don't know, cooking with oil and oil is amazing." In the past, when the ram brother cooked, he poured all the vegetables into the pot and cooked them, but the slave family couldn't stand it, so he and his husband set up another small stove. Now he has been studying with Keyou Keyou for a few days, and the food he makes is drooling every time he eats it! ”
The ram who was burning the fire looked embarrassed: "Brother and sister, can we not talk so bluntly, in the past, the gang was poor, there was no oil and no salt, and all kinds of ingredients should be complete like now, without grams of oil and oil, the food cooked by Brother Yang can also make you want to eat!" ”
Aunt Li saw that the monkey's daughter-in-law and the ram's expressions did not seem to be fake, and she couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
At this time, another woman walked in, followed by a tall and thin man, the tall and thin man saw the brothers of the Flying Dragon Gang, and shrank his head in fear, but the woman was extremely calm: "Haha...... Xiao Langjun can make the old body easy to find, you said called the flower chicken, the old body tried to produce several times, always do not get the essentials, today I came to visit, I promised before, you can't play tricks! ”
After the woman finished speaking, the thin and tall man put a food basket on the table, nodded and said, "This is our signature dish beef and sheep four fresh dishes that we are good again, and please taste it." If there is anything missing, please refer to it......"
Before the tall and thin man finished speaking, he was kicked by the woman and ran away. The woman stretched out her hand to open the food blue, and there were four dishes in it, namely boiled beef, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, a few kebabs and a bowl of mutton soup: "The four dishes are the best of the old body, and they are also the most popular among the guests, please ask Xiao Langjun for guidance." ”
Except for Qian Yu, everyone present was stunned, no one in Qingfeng County in front of Cai Damiang didn't know her, she was the first chef and shopkeeper again, and her understanding of food, especially cattle and sheep, was unbelievable.
On the first day of each month, Mrs. Cai will perform the cattle killing at the door of the good again, with only a knife to solve the cow, a key cow can be completely decomposed, the skill is skilled, breathtaking.
The most important thing is that Aunt Cai's temper is more hot than her cooking skills, and the brothers of the Feilong Gang can walk sideways in Qingfeng County, but when it is good, they have to be honest. It's not that she can't beat her, but I'm afraid that she will scold the street, Aunt Cai will scold the street, the voice is so ugly, the language is vicious, and people who hear it will be full of despair for their lives.
Now everyone is afraid, not only did he come over in person, but he also asked Qian Yu for guidance in a good voice, did the sun come out of the west today?
Qian Yu didn't notice anything, he walked over casually, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "Spicy and fragrant, my aunt is from Sichuan?" Especially the spicy taste, there are both the hemp of the pepper and the fresh and spicy of the dogwood, you fry and cook the dogwood with hot oil, not only perfectly bring out the spicy of the dogwood, but also get rid of its own bitterness, amazing! ”
Before the introduction of chili peppers, people used dogwood to get spicy flavor, Qian Yu taught students to "plug dogwood one less person" because of curiosity, specialized in the study of this plant, and also tried to use oil to extract the capsaicin inside, the effect is always not ideal, but I didn't expect Mrs. Cai to succeed.
You must know that the chef at this time cooks, the most commonly used is boiling, the stir-fry method is not popular, although the meat is also bitter with dogwood, but it does not affect the taste much, so few chefs will study this, the other party is amazing!
What Qian Yu said was from the heart, but Aunt Cai was shocked when she heard it, using red oil to extract dogwood to increase the taste of the dish, it is a secret skill handed down by her ancestors, and it has always been passed down to her daughter-in-law, the reason why she is known as the first chef in Qingfeng is this secret skill, but now she is broken by the other party, this ......
Qian Yu didn't feel it, this was just a trick, some food TV shows felt sorry for the audience if they didn't have a trick every day, but many people didn't like to watch it, how could he have thought that this was someone's secret skill?
Another piece of stewed beef brisket with tomatoes: "Well, the beef has been simmered for an hour, right?" Fragrant and crispy, delicious! Beef is a good thing, but it's not very easy to cook. When we eat beef ourselves, we can only smash the meat with a hammer first, and only your hotel can do this kung fu steaming. However, the crispy beef is finely fried in oil, sprinkled with seasonings is steak, the flavor is very unique, this is Western food, you should not have it here, you can try it. ”
"The lamb skewers are also good, but the cumin doesn't need to be ground too much, otherwise it will be easy to paste when you see the fire. Mutton soup with balsamic vinegar to remove the fat, the method is good, but the vinegar itself has a sour taste, for people who don't like it, it is a little unbearable, you can put the radish and mutton together to cook, so that the taste is more pure......"
Aunt Cai looked at Qian Yu blankly, Qian Yu's flickering that day, she didn't fall asleep all night, and when she pondered carefully, she found that these words were ethereal, and Mr. Hexagram was as pure as stupid, she also sighed that she was fighting geese all day long, but she was pecked in the eyes by the geese, and she was secretly annoyed for several days.
Yesterday, I accidentally knew that Qian Yu was in the Flying Dragon Gang, so I took my husband to kill him, saying that it was to ask for advice, which was more provocative, who knew that Qian Yu's words, not only told her family secret recipe, but also pointed out the shortcomings in the dishes at will.
