Chapter IX, Menu

A few yellow glimmers began to peek out of the gray white sky, and a high rooster croak echoed through the town, as if to wake up the people who were still asleep. The girl Maisie tilted her little head, sleepily smelling the fragrance coming from a certain end, and when she turned her head to see the source of the fragrance, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then, as if remembering something, she ran to wash up and dress up.

Mebes, who got up early in the morning to knead the dough, looked at the six large pieces of coarse wheat grape nut toast in front of her, which exuded a charming brown color, and suddenly realized that if it was sold in the tavern as a merchandise, it would not be able to support the needs of the residents. The flour-stained hands slapped the table fiercely, and said righteously:

"In that case, let's add it to the main meal" It just so happened that Mebis was going to try the process of the otherworldly food. The fermentation time of the baguette is relatively long, and so far it is only a superimposed fermentation, he estimates that after this is done, it will be baked in the oven in the afternoon, and the grape nut toast can be sliced directly, and now it is time to choose the ingredients.

In the early morning, Green Town is always relatively lively, with middle-aged men carrying large bags of goods, horse-drawn carriages coming and going, and the sound of constant shouting of vendors. Walking into the long market street, you will see bags of fruits and vegetables wrapped in linen, slaughtering the meat sold that day at night, surrounded by spice merchants stationed in guards, holding white cloths, carefully introducing to customers.

"Hey, spices are still expensive in this era" Mebes couldn't help but think that the black pepper in the otherworldly memory is not as expensive as the golden tower, on the contrary, it is very cheap. I bought some fresh fruits and vegetables, 3 pounds of lamb ribs, went to Oakie's grocery store to get a few bottles of good spices, and went to Uncle Merry's to pick up custom-made abrasives, and returned to the tavern to the latter's laughter.

Thinking back to the fact that the dishes of Western food in the other world are more complicated, the lazy Mebeis naturally will not make all of them and eliminate some of them, but only keep them:

Appetizers, soups, main courses, desserts,

The style is streamlined, the content is subtle, the key price Mebeis only sets 50 silver towers, and the big dad moves 1 gold tower of the profiteering, he seems to be more close to the people, of course, it is not without restrictions, he brought the wooden sign outside the tavern with a bright gold dye marked: Thanksgiving God price limit 50 silver tower can try a meal on the tip of the tongue dancing dining experience Daddy produces, you deserve it, in addition, due to lack of manpower, the tavern only receives 3 tables of guests at the same time, a table of 2 people.

Although I don't know if anyone will come from 12 o'clock to 20 o'clock at night, Mebis said that it doesn't matter if I come or not, it's a big deal that I eat by myself, and he still shows an evil and stealing smile.

He plans to make a sweet and sour snack with an open mouth, and the soup is naturally a relatively ordinary cream mushroom in his memory, the main dish is herbs with lamb ribs, and finally a stove of puff pastry tarts, just do it.

Burning the wood under the fire pit, Mebis first made an otherworldly 'hawthorn strip', sweet and sour, with the white jade radish produced in the coastal sandy town of Monbe, crisp and sweet, rich in juice with sour black moore strips. Black moore is a bush berry like a blackberry, but smaller and has a very sour flavor every other spring. The fruit grows so densely in the mountains that even the animals in the mountains do not touch it, which shows its acidity.

The finely chopped yellow cane sugar is melted on an iron pot, and the watery sugar solution emits a sweet sugarcane scent, and then put in the washed black moles with fluff, the hot sugar water quickly collides with the black moles rich in pectin, and the water slowly evaporates, leaving only the most essential part.

Since there was no 'blender', Mebis could only hold the spoon at his knightly speed and keep crushing the berries to make them more viscous.

The jam that was finished in a few moments was slowly poured into the square iron plate made by Uncle Merry, and the crystal black viscous jam was evenly spread on the iron plate, and the sweet and sour smell continued to scratch Mebes's nasal cavity, and he dipped a little bit of his index finger into his mouth.

Suddenly, the fragrance of Black Moore, hidden behind the sourness, emerged, and the sweet and sour taste made Mebes close her eyes and carefully savor the strong natural scent.

After a moment of coming to his senses, he placed the iron plate containing the jam on the wooden shelf outside the tavern, and when the water was almost evaporated, he took it out and rolled it into strips. The next step is to prepare mushroom soup, which is a deviation from the food of the two worlds.

Mebis can't learn everything, he has to think on his own and imagine flexibly. In recent days, the temperature has become a little hot, and there used to be less dairy sales, and now it is basically impossible to buy whipped cream in the town, so he wittily bought a pair of whitetail fish liver at the Oak grocery store.

The only value of this larger fish is the liver of the abdominal cavity, the white liver after dehydration, only a little can add a rich frankincense to the tasteless soup, this is the perfect substitute for cream, the mushroom he bought from the village woman is called white mushroom, the fresh food is the most fragrant, there are other mushrooms in the market, but Mebis thinks that the white mushroom can best express the deliciousness of the soup.

Mixed with low-gluten flour and butter in a hot pan, a long spoon-like tool with a slight intertwining of fine iron is a tool that Mebes instructed Uncle Merry to build according to otherworldly knowledge, called 'Egg Pump', he felt that this thing was unexpectedly useful, when the flour and butter were well mixed, but there was no gluten.

Slowly pour in the raw milk, stir evenly with a pump, add the minced mushrooms and soaked whitetail liver, and slowly cook for 10 minutes on a slightly larger fire, and the rich milky aroma becomes more and more intense with the stirring of Mebes.

There is no hurry to make the main course, starting to make it too early will lose the moisture in the meat over time, and finally it will become dry when it is served, he freed his hands and began to knead the tart crust of the puff pastry egg tart, the type of dough is similar to coarse grain toast, almost all of them are custard dough, but there are more eggs and less sugar.

Mebis, who was already somewhat skilled, relied on the knight's astonishing strength to soften the powdery into smooth-looking, firm dumplings in two or three strokes, and then covered them with a damp cloth and waited for further puff pastry.

Sprinkle some white pepper powder on the fragrant mushrooms, stir well with a pinch of coarse sea salt, pick up the spoon and take a sip, the rich milky aroma and the fresh aroma of the mushrooms are perfectly matched, and the little spicy embellishment of white pepper is a little sweeter, "perfect" Mebis gave a thumbs up while licking his mouth.

Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on the dough that is placed a little soft, roll it out into a square with a long rolling pin, and then pour the soft and collapsed butter in the middle, fold it, and stack it tightly, because there is no frozen butter, and the dough after rolling is not refrigerated to cool down, such a soft grease will leak oil during the baking process, resulting in uneven puff pastry, which is difficult to eat, and even skilled cooks should be careful.

On a large piece of dough, Mebes uses a round lid to print and cut out a round crust, sprinkle a thin layer of powder on the round grinder, slowly press the puff pastry in, pour the pre-prepared egg mixture, and put it in the fiery arched stove.

A faint aroma wafted out of the door, and Maisie, who came to the tavern early in the morning to prepare for work, saw Mebes, who was busy on the side, and the girl asked him happily:

"Do you have any new dishes?" and then looked around, as if he didn't see Daddy and felt a little strange.

Mebes saw her doubts, looked at the girl's lovely face and replied:

"Daddy has something to do, I'll act as the tavern for the time being" paused

"I'm going to do something new today, and you'll understand later"

"Oh" Seeing that he did not elaborate or ask, he began to prepare the things in the tavern.
