Chapter 539: The Conquered Chef Li

But before he reached the city gate, he was stopped by a group of black-clothed people who suddenly appeared.

"Phew!!" Wang Ye grabbed the reins suddenly, the horse sprinted forward for a while before barely stopping its hooves, Xu Yu who was sitting in the carriage dragged the handrail on the edge, the carriage had just stopped slowly, and the black-clothed people in front of him pulled out the long knives on their waists without saying a word and rushed over, surrounding the carriage!

"Kill!!"

These three days were a particularly long period of time for Qi Ling, but fortunately, Chef Li's business in the restaurant improved a lot after trying the spices he gave him, and he invited her to eat at the restaurant.

Qi Ling couldn't drag it out, so he had to take Qingyu to the appointment.

Chef Li's restaurant is located in the east of the city, where there are many residents and small traders, and now there are fewer and fewer people who come here to set up stalls because of the epidemic.

Looking at the emptiness here, she couldn't help but sigh: "How good it would be if there was no epidemic, I can see how prosperous this city is." ”

Qingyu looked around and chuckled: "The girl is really good at laughing, no matter how prosperous this great achievement is, it can't compare to half of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Originally, he had the ability to raise the level of life of the people, but he just stuck to the rules and didn't know how to be flexible, King Dacheng enjoyed the prosperity in the palace, but the people died of illness and starvation, it has been four or five years, and they are still living a life of boiled meat in salt water......"

As she spoke, her tone was full of disgust.

Qi Ling turned his head to look at her, with a slight doubt in his eyes: "Qingyu, you... Have you ever been to Dacheng? ”

The more she spoke, the more indignant she became, as if she had lived here.

Is this really true, what is the secret?

Qingyu's face stiffened, and she smiled reluctantly: "The girl said that I laughed, I used to serve by Lord Xu's side, and sometimes I would hear him occasionally mention this Dacheng thing, so... Got a little bit of it too. ”

"Oh, that's right, then you have a good memory, and seeing how familiar you are, I thought you lived here for a little time before."

A trace of panic flashed in Qingyu's eyes, but she was quickly covered by a smile: "The girl said that she was laughing, there is Li Ji Restaurant in front, let's hurry over." ”

"Okay, I don't know what Chef Li will do, he will definitely have a lot of things after staying here for so many years, I really have some little expectations!"

Originally, I wanted to come here to feel the humanistic customs here, but I didn't expect a sudden epidemic to disrupt all her plans, except for cooking and eating in the hotel every day, there was no fun at all, and Xiao Gu often used the excuse that she was too weak to let her go out......

This is simply captivity in disguise, okay!

Finally, she seized the opportunity to come out for a walk, and by the way, you can also taste Chef Li's cooking skills from the combination of Daming and Dacheng...... Unfortunately, it backfired.

When he saw the white meat being served, the corners of Qi Ling's mouth twitched involuntarily.

What is this, an upgraded version of spices and salt to cook meat?

Qingyu is also frowning, this... Can this meat be eaten?

Chef Li warmly entertained: "Miss Qi, Miss Qingyu, try it, since this spice was added, the taste of this beef is completely different, in the past, I could only barely use some salt to taste, and the meat made is moderate and has only one taste, and it is too tired to eat too much." ”

"After adding this spice, this beef has a fragrance, not only fragrant, but also a little sweetness in this meat, and the guests say it's good!"

Qi Ling flicked the barely cooked beef with his chopsticks, and he really didn't have any appetite at all.

Chef Li did cook the meat with spices, and when it was served, he could smell the smell of spices, but this color made people have no appetite at all!

She stroked her forehead, "Forget it, can you borrow the kitchen here?" ”

Chef Li asked cautiously: "This dish... Not satisfied? Actually, there are a few dishes in the back......"

Qi Ling hurriedly stopped him: "Don't don't, don't!" I know seasoning is scarce here, but is there any difference between boiled meat in brine with spices and boiled meat in salt water? ”

Chef Li scratched his head: "... It doesn't seem to be ......."

"That's right!" She stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Since I am here today, then teach you a dish, come with me." ”

Then she followed Chef Li to the kitchen, which was much more beaten than in the hotel.

Let's take a look at the seasonings first, and then look at the ingredients, and then decide on today's menu, stewed beef bones with sauce!

Take the large bones of beef cattle that were just delivered today, chop them into palm-sized pieces, and wash them to remove the blood.

Add a little salt to develop for a while, then blanch in water for half an hour, remove and wash.

Then make a large pot and add lumps of butter to boil, add ginger and garlic chili sauce to stir-fry the red oil, put the boiled beef bones into the pot and stir-fry, add soy sauce to color, and soon the tempting aroma will rush out.

After stir-frying for a while, add the remaining bone broth from the previous blanching, then add various spices, a few cloves of sun-dried chili peppers, cover the pot and start the simmering process.

It takes at least two hours to simmer until the flesh and bones are separated, the soup is brown and thick, and the final sauce stewed with large bones is the most delicious.

Qingyu brought hot water and soap horns to wash off the greasy on her hands, and Chef Li stood to the side in a daze, watching her movements like a cloud of water, unable to return to her senses for a long time.

He has been in Dacheng for five or six years, and he is not used to coming to Dacheng at that time, and now he is proficient, and the hardships are needless to say.

Now when he smells the fragrant aroma again, he seems to have returned to the small town where laughter and people come and go, although it is not rich, but life is also passable, and whenever the New Year is approaching, such a pot of meat and bones will be stewed at home.

Because there are many children in the family, they can't afford to buy too much meat, so they buy several big bones with meat, and when they are crushed, not only can they eat some meat, but the leftover broth can also be used to mix coarse rice and eat.

The brothers, on the other hand, squatted in front of the stove like puppies and refused to leave, thinking that they would be the first to eat the meat and bones when they came out of the pot.

At this moment, smelling such a familiar smell, Chef Li immediately wet his eyes.

Qi Ling was not in the mood to take care of him, and saw that there was still some fat mutton with skin in the corner, so he made a pot of braised mutton, the mutton was delicious, with a slight smell, and the rich soy sauce tasted fresh but not salty, and the delicious ones wanted people to swallow their tongues.

"Whew!!" The hot mutton entrance, the hot Chef Li couldn't stop sighing, this mutton has been stewed at a very good time, the sheepskin fell off as soon as it was bitten and torn, with the slightest wisps of tendon skin, the more you chew, the more fragrant!

The taste of lean meat is richer, and the soup contained in it bursts out directly after biting, and he sticks out his tongue when he is hot, but he still eats it unceremoniously into his mouth.

"Delicious! It's so delicious! ”

Chef Li looked intoxicated, no wonder Ah Xingna wanted to say that before, in comparison... Well, it's not comparable at all!

I didn't expect Miss Qi to have such good craftsmanship!

Not long after the mutton came out of the pot, the mutton bones stewed on another stove were also out of the pot, the light brown meat color with the constantly churning soup, the iron spoon held even the meat bones, the rising heat with a rich sauce fragrance came to the face!

Delicious! It's so delicious!

Chef Li hadn't read a book, so he couldn't think of any adjectives, but he felt that the meat was fragrant and wanton, and there was a hint of spiciness, which almost exploded directly on the tip of his tongue as soon as he entered his mouth.

A little beef with fascia was torn off the bone, and before he could chew it, he swallowed it quickly, and then began to tear off a piece of meat.

Some people prefer the richness of the whole meat, but some people prefer this kind of flesh and bone, even if the meat is not much, it is enough to satisfy the desire to tear the lips and teeth.

Qi Ling was not as crazy as Chef Li's food, he picked up a smaller piece and tasted it, the sauce was thick and slightly sweet and spicy, it was already cooked to the fire, and the meat was rotten but not scattered, which was the best proof.

'Hiccup! ’
