Chapter 53: Cooking Food
What Jing Yi didn't know was that she had accepted a general for herself. Song Yuancheng, who is still a weak chicken, will make great contributions to her expansion in the future. Song Yuancheng has really followed her all his life and has never betrayed.
At this time, Song Yuancheng was still a weak scholar.
Song Yuancheng didn't expect his son-in-law to be so open and honest to him, he was moved and excited in his heart, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Xie Gongzi's trust, I am willing to follow Gongzi to learn skills." In the future, it is the first to be the son of the horse. ”
Jing Yi helped Song Yuancheng up and said, "Don't bow down in the future, our family doesn't need this." I'll teach you the skills, but not at home. At least not yet. ”
Song Yuancheng immediately understood, "Is it because Prince Jing is here?" ”
Jing Yi nodded, "It's not just King Jing, there are also a lot of secret guards from King Jing's Mansion around here." Before King Jing was not here, there were still secret guards around. Although it is nominally protection, how do you know that there is no meaning of surveillance? ”
Song Yuancheng was stunned when he heard this, "Childe has long known that there are secret guards?" ”
Jing Yi smiled, "Although the secret guards' martial arts are very high, and they are also some distance away from my house, they still can't hide it from me. I just don't know. Because they really have no ill will.
But if I teach you something, I don't want them to know. We may form an alliance with King Jing in the future, but we must have our own chips, and we can't let others know all the hole cards. That's the first lesson I'll teach you. ”
Song Yuancheng nodded, "Childe, I understand." ”
Jing Yi said: "In the future, I will go into the mountains from time to time to collect medicine, you follow me, and I will teach you in the mountains." We will build our own intelligence system in the future. It is to get information from all sides, so that you can know yourself and your opponent in order to deal with it calmly.
Your enemy is Xiao Yitai, King Xuan. And Xiao Yitai's biggest obsession is to ascend to the throne, so we will make him unable to achieve his wish. Such a person becoming an emperor is also a disaster for the people of the world.
As long as he can't be the emperor, no matter who ascends to the throne in the end, he will not end well. It's cheaper for him to let him die directly. Letting him live to suffer is the greatest punishment for him.
If we want to grow and grow, we need people, people who are capable, can be trusted, and will never betray. Therefore, we must absorb capable people with good character. Ability can be cultivated, and the most important thing is that the character must pass.
And what I'm telling you now, don't tell Qiao Hong in advance, he is still young after all, and he still needs to grow and experience. Tell him when the time comes. ”
Song Yuancheng nodded, "I understand, Childe." ”
The two have a preliminary heart-to-heart relationship, and they can be regarded as allies. And they have a master-apprentice relationship.
In the morning, Xiao Yilin took a medicinal bath and took acupuncture, and it was almost noon.
The prospect of rest made Xiao Yilin eat something, and then the tired Xiao Yilin fell asleep.
In the afternoon, Jingyi asked Feng Zhi to take out the two pork, cut off the pork ribs, and chop them into pieces, and make braised pork ribs and pork rib soup in the evening. Fatty meat Jingyi handed over to Qiao Yan to fry oil, and selected a large piece of fat and thin pork belly and cut it into small pieces to prepare for dinner to make braised pork.
Qiao Yan was already familiar with frying lard, pouring some water into the pot, and then putting the fat pork cut into small pieces and frying it in the pot. Soon the oil in the fatty pork was slowly fried, and a strong aroma of fried meat wafted out, and the smell was all over the yard.
Feng Zhi sniffed at the door of the wing, "Hey, Gu Yu, what kind of fragrance is so fragrant?" ”
Gu Yu also smelled it, looked in the direction of the kitchen and said, "It must be that Young Master Chu is making food." Didn't he tell you to pick all the meat? It's definitely meat. ”
Feng Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You look at the prince, I'll help." ”
With that, he ran out of the wing room and went to the kitchen.
As soon as Feng Zhi entered the kitchen, the smell became stronger, and when he saw that Qiao Yan was busy, he asked curiously, "Little Sister Qiao, what are you doing delicious?" ”
Qiao Yan turned her head and said, "I'm frying lard, that is, I fry the oil from the fat pork and keep it for cooking in the future." The dishes you eat are made with lard. ”
Feng Zhi looked at the boiling lard and fat pieces in the pot and swallowed, "Then this fried lard is really fragrant." ”
Qiao Yan said: "Wait for a while, after the lard is fried, Brother Feng can eat the lard residue, the lard residue is delicious mixed with a little salt." ”
Feng Zhi swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then I'll light a fire for you." ”
After frying the lard, Feng Zhi got a big bowl of lard residue, and it was too fragrant to mix with a little salt.
Feng Zhi didn't eat alone, and ran back to the wing room to share it with Gu Yu.
There are several stoves in the house, all with large cauldrons, where they can cook together.
Because of the long stew time, Jing Yi prepared it early and stewed the braised pork in the pot first.
After blanching the pork belly and pork ribs, they were divided into two large pots and stewed in the pot, and Qiao Hong looked at the pot with a fire. With soy sauce, the braised pork has the essence, and I am very satisfied with the sauce-colored soup in the pot.
Add seasonings such as green onions, ginger and star anise, and start to simmer half a pot of meat and half a pot of pork ribs.
The braised pork and braised pork ribs were stewed in the wing room where Qiao Hong and the others lived, and they happened to be burning.
Winter is about to begin, so Jing Yi asked Song Yuancheng to move in with Qiao Hongyi, so that it will be warmer to sleep on the kang.
Jingyi plans to decorate one of the south rooms into a living room, and if there are guests who come in the future, they can receive them in the living room without going to the courtyard. It's also more convenient.
In the kitchen, a large pot cooks pork rib soup, and a large pot stews rice and stir-fried vegetables.
As time passed, the aroma of braised pork slowly wafted out. It's a flavor that's even more enticing than when you fry lard. The same goes for braised pork ribs.
Xiao Yilin was woken up by the fragrance wafting into the room. Because the fragrance is so domineering, even those who fall asleep have to wake up.
Except for Jing Yi, the family has never eaten authentic braised pork, so everyone in the family is looking forward to eating early.
Gu Yu said excitedly while waiting for his prince to wash up: "Lord, there is something delicious tonight, it is a new dish made by Prince Chu." You smell a lot of fragrance. ”
Xiao Yilin smiled: "This fragrance is really domineering, it woke me up from my sleep." ”
In addition to meat dishes, there are also fried fungus with eggs, spinach salad, and stir-fried celery.
Jing Yi opened the pot where the braised pork was stewed, and a rich fragrance steamed out, there was not much soup in the pot, and the meat was already soft and ready to collect the juice.
The thick and shiny gravy makes you have an appetite, and the braised pork with gravy on it is also very tempting.
Jing Yi tasted a piece of braised pork, which was really delicious. Because this ancient pork was fed with grain, wild vegetables, etc., it can be said that it is all natural, and the seasoning is relatively complete, so the braised pork made is very delicious.
Today is the first time Jing Yi has eaten more authentic braised pork since he came to ancient times.
The same is true for braised pork ribs, which are all successful. Now with soy sauce, I can make more delicacies in the future.
