Volume 8 Flap your wings! 139 Otherworldly Fast Food Lunch 03
Ross' breakfast was simple, a glass of freshly boiled water, a coarse bread that didn't squirp, and a small plate of pickled courgettes. Due to the addition of Xu Zheng as a distinguished guest, Xu Zheng had two extra boiled eggs on the bread plate, but Ross and Dean did not.
Xu Zheng glanced at the eggs twice, and only said that he didn't have so many appetites, one egg for Ross, and one egg for Dean, and he grabbed the coarse bread with crispy courgettes and nibbled them with relish. Dean excused himself for a long time, but he still couldn't bear Xu Zheng's enthusiasm, and broke the eggshell to peel the eggs there. While peeling it, he couldn't help but look at Xu Zheng, and saw that the young man was gnawing on the bread without being serious, without saying a word about breadcrumbs, and his mouth full of food was stuffed and he kept talking, his eyes turned more and more gentle, as if he saw the little brother next door.
He had never seen a magician like this without the slightest shelf. Generally speaking, magicians are synonymous with nobility and mystery, they are knowledgeable, they act coldly, all their minds are spent on understanding the world and magic, and they have much more power over life and death than ordinary people, and they have long lost their enthusiasm for communicating with other people. Unlike the young man in front of him, ** jumped out, and his smile was like a mountain flower, and even his bright eyebrows and eyes were coated with a smile, which was very amiable and cute.
Rose peeled the egg and put it on Xu Zheng's plate with a smile.
At this time, refusal, whether it is good or malicious will hurt people's hearts, Xu Zheng put it into his mouth, and just asked: "My own hen is raw? It tastes so good! Not only is it smooth, but it also has a special fragrance." I mean, your hens are athletic, aren't they?"
Rose and Dean laughed again, the boy was really pure and pleasant, and ordinary things always became the most beautiful things in front of him. And he is also full of strange words, whether he understands it or not, it has a very laughable effect, such as the sporty type right now. Are there any athletic chickens? In this way, aren't there all noblewoman, lady, warrior, and mage?
Dean laughed, winked at Xu Zheng, and said, "No, it's a farmer." In the end, I also felt that this sentence was quite humorous, far beyond my normal swing level, and I couldn't help but laugh.
Ross pushed Xu Zheng: "Xu Zheng, how do you get the big pot of dishes you said? At the price you said, can you really make money?" is a matter of life, and she can't help but be careful. To be honest, if she didn't know that Xu Zheng has a lot of ghosts, in her personal opinion, this business will not make money.
Xu Zheng swallowed the breakfast in two bites and said, "Wait a little longer, and the big iron pot will be delivered in a while." ”
The three of them sat and waited, and after a while, the big iron pot was delivered.
This large iron pot was customized by Xu Zheng according to the wok of the previous time and space, it is a smooth conical iron pot, except for the volume enlarged by nearly five times, there is no other change. In Aris 6, almost all woks are frying pans, so when Xu Zheng wanted to make such a wok, the drawings were sent to the craftsmen, and everyone thought it was a new type of shield, and made a lot of jokes about it.
Xu Zheng hurriedly dragged the iron pot in, and said with a smile, "Come, let you open your eyes and see what is called a high-level cauldron dish!"
Then Ross and Dean got a glimpse of what a cauldron dish is.
It was a strange iron pot, and because it was so big, it couldn't fit in a normal stove. When Dean thought he would have to build a big stove in the future, he had to build a makeshift stove to solve his immediate needs.
Xu Zheng set the pot on the makeshift stove, asked Dean to add a low heat to preheat it, and ran to prepare the ingredients for the stir-fry with Rose.
According to Xu Zheng's instructions, Ross used the last money yesterday to buy a large number of cabbage and carrots. Both of these vegetables are particularly cheap during this season in Madagarh. Twenty catties of cabbage and thirty catties of carrots have not yet spent half a gold coin. In addition, there is a large amount of pork belly with more fat and three castrated roosters. The rooster has long been emasculated after the male **, unlike the eunuch, the size of the eunuch usually shrinks in the process of growth, but the eunuch chicken is getting bigger and bigger, the meat is more than the ordinary rooster, and it is more tender, because of the fast growth and cheaper price, they are usually called broilers. In this way, the pork belly, eunuch chicken, cabbage and carrots add up to one and a half gold coins.
Cut off a small piece of pork belly first, and then boil the rest in boiling water for three to five minutes, then cut it into thin slices the size of two fingers and only one or two millimeters thick. The carrots are cut into hob pieces, the eunuch chicken is cut into small pieces, and as for the cabbage, it is enough to tear it into pieces.
In the past, Xu Zheng did little work, and there were many jokes about his hurry, such as picking cabbage, he had the ability to pick it like an alchemy experiment, and strive to make every small piece like an assembly line. On the contrary, Rose, a former noblewoman, is like a fish in water and seems to be extremely skilled. Xu Zheng was shocked to realize that the rose that was not produced was really simple, and he was familiar with household chores.
Dean preheated the pot and ran to ask Xu Zheng what to do next.
Since he couldn't find such a thing as bamboo leaves or artemisia leaves, Xu Zheng simply used the part of the discarded vegetable leaves that he picked to cook the juice and warm the pot.
Ross and Dean didn't understand it, and Xu Zheng explained, "This is the preparation for the first time the iron pot was used. First use the juice of the plant ** pot, and then wipe it with animal oil, so that the iron pot is not easy to crack when used, and also remove the strange rust smell of the iron pot used. ”
The two of them didn't seem to understand, Rose carefully watched all the steps of Xu Zheng and memorized them by heart, but Dean kept muttering in his heart: Such a high-ranking magician, he doesn't know this kind of civilian life skills, how can he know?
The process of warming the pot and wiping the pot has been completed. The black iron pot, which had previously looked dry and inconspicuous, became shiny and shiny, transforming from an ordinary iron vessel into a cooking tool. Xu Zheng himself was also quite proud, because he had only seen how to get it on the information before, and he couldn't help but slap the iron pot with a shocking expression.
When Rose and Dean saw him as a de**, they couldn't help but want to laugh, but when they saw that his clothes had already been rubbed on the iron pot, they still laughed to themselves.
I've never seen such an untidy magician. The magician's dusty temperament is completely unmatched with this young man, and the difference between them is more than a little bit different.
The next step is stir-frying, strictly speaking, according to the habits of Aris 6, the cooking method of stir-frying is used quite less, and it is generally fried and fried. Xu Zheng poured all the pork belly slices into the pot, looked at the shovel that Dean took out and was only the size of a palm, and rushed out of the house without saying a word, took the huge shovel used to shovel sand at the door, washed it, and stretched it into the pot to stir-fry.
Rose frowned and said in surprise: "Is this okay?!" Her concept is still stuck in the very petty bourgeois frying, and the food should be treated with care, not like this - bold!
Xu Zheng pouted: "Just your man's shovel, which is as small as a toothpick, it is better to use such a big guy." ”
Rose looked at it for a long time, and somewhat understood what a cauldron dish was. Look, a cauldron, a big iron shovel for shoveling sand, no matter the raw materials or condiments in the pot, all magnified n times, an ancient brain poured into the pot and stirred, this is the essence of the cauldron dish - large amount, sufficient, rough and bold, very kind of atmosphere in the mountains and forests.
According to Xu Zheng, this is called Jianghu style. asked what the rivers and lakes are, but Xu Zheng was happy, and the gods and gods pointed to the heavens and the earth, saying: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Dean and Rose didn't understand, and when they asked again, the guy just laughed, smiling weirdly.
The pork belly is put in a pot over high heat, and the oil comes out quickly. Pour out the excess oil for later use, pour in the ginger, green onion, and garlic prepared in advance and stir-fry together, and in a moment, a unique aroma that is different from the common dishes of Aris Big 6 comes to your nose.
Dean said movingly, "Incense!"
Ross kept looking at Xu Zheng, this young man is indeed a lot of ghosts, in her opinion, it is a mess, but what comes out is unexpectedly fragrant.
Wait until most of the pork belly slices are fried until most of the oil comes out and become curly, then pour in the cabbage and stir-fry, add salt, a small amount of Madagar, the pepper that Uncle Dain used to buy at a great price, and throw in some of the seasonings he picked when he was a savage, until the cabbage becomes soft and subdued, producing a translucent effect, and then it is fried.
"Taste it. Xu Zheng picked up the terrible shovel and shoveled it up to let people taste it from afar, acting like holding a knight's gun, not like stir-frying.
Rose was still a little hesitant to look at the food made by this completely different method from Aris Big 6, but Dean grabbed some directly with his hands and tasted it, only to feel that the pork was fat but not greasy, and the cabbage was slightly sweet and crisp after absorbing the oil, and with the meat aroma of pork, the taste was unimaginably good.
"It's fragrant! Dean gave a thumbs up and said, "It's so nice to go with bread." ”
Rose listened to Dean's praise and tasted it, and immediately showed a moving look on his face.
This is followed by the simpler stir-fried chicken with carrots. Pour out the oil first and put it in the pot to boil, pour the chicken pieces and condiments of the eunuch chicken into it and fry until fragrant, add water to simmer for a while, and then pour the carrots into it and simmer together, until the chicken is soft, and the edges and corners of the carrots are softened and dissolved.
The chicken is soft and fragrant, with a natural sweetness of carrots, while the carrots melt in your mouth and taste with the unique freshness of chicken.
After the second taste, Rose and Dean were speechless. This person is still a magician, how can he feel like an authentic chef? The combination of chef and magician, the combination of these two professions is depressing...... The two didn't know that one of Xu Zheng's specialties was that he was not serious at all things, and he usually took things that were not serious and did them as serious things......
After finishing the two 100% cauldron dishes, Xu Zheng talked in detail about how to use the waste vegetable leaves to pickle the Jiangcai, and then he used the plate to hold two dishes and took them to coax the purr, and dragged Mark away. He didn't have to worry about the rest at all, with the ability of the Imperial Capital Rose, he could naturally sell them prosperously.
