Chapter 115: Sanlu Little Milk Cake

If you want to kill the eldest princess of Pavilion Tao quickly, it is not enough to have peach crisp and osmanthus cake that are too sweet and greasy, at least you have to add two 'gadgets'-

Braised pork, happy fattening water.

Of course, the most direct way is to look inconspicuous salt.

That's right, after the purified refined salt, add dessert according to a certain ratio, and then add enough cream, honey, wild boar fat and other ingredients to make a very delicious cream cake, which is a peerless delicacy that kills people invisibly!

This extremely sweet and greasy cream cake can trigger the kidney failure of the eldest princess in a very short period of time, and thus quickly develop into the advanced stage of uremia, which is simply uncontrollable......

……

Yang Chuan thought about it carefully and thought about it, and put the plan of 'Happy Fertilizer Water' on hold for the time being.

The road has to be taken step by step, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, since you have come to Changmen Garden, you can be a good cook for a few days with peace of mind, and prepare a few more hard dishes for Liu Yan, so as to ensure that you can be targeted and finalized!

So, Yang Chuan began to prepare today's lunch for Liu Yan: braised pork with honey sauce.

This person, taking out too many good things at one time is not a good thing, maybe it will attract the attention and covetousness of some characters, and cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

Especially when he showed Liu Sanye his face, he concluded that this guy with scorched skin, triangular eyes, and cold eyes was a ruthless and unrighteous person, comparable to a snake and scorpion.

There's no way, I've been getting along with Zhang Qian, Sima Qian, and Dongfang Shuo for a long time, and even Yang Chuan has been contaminated with the bad habit of liking to show people's faces......

Authentic braised pork is actually very simple to cook, and its ingredients, condiments and toppings are even more simple to the extreme: pork belly, ginger, star anise, rock sugar, soy sauce, plus a little grass fruit and salt.

As for the braised pork in some rice shops in later generations, from the perspective of a professional chef, it is better to stew and smorgasbord, which is not only not delicious, but also harmful to the body if you eat too much.

If you think about it, the taste of the seasoning can cover the flavor of the meat, so is it still called braised pork?

Yang Chuan selected about three catties of pork belly, cut it into squares two fingers wide and narrow, and after washing it with water, it can be put in a pot of cold water and start blanching.

Before cooking braised pork, pork belly needs to be blanched in water.

This is a very important step to keep the pork belly hydrated enough while also removing the blood foam, impurities and the fishy smell from the pork. During the blanching process, be sure to put the pot under cold water.

In addition, when blanching, pouring a little cooking wine can remove the fishy and freshness, and ensure that the meat is smooth and delicious, fat but not greasy, especially in the current Han Empire, which has not castrated the pig, and its fishy taste is very strong.

Well, it's almost an essential step.

As for rock sugar......

Well, even in the kitchen of the princess of Dahan, there is no such expensive thing at all, so Yang Chuan has to use honey and caramel to "shai" the blanched pork belly.

Anyway, the old woman has never eaten authentic braised pork, so she guarantees that she will be numb.

After Liu Laosan delivered the peach crisp and osmanthus cake, he trotted all the way back to the kitchen, and at first glance, he received a few words of praise and reward, and said: "Chef Ren, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess loves the peach cake and osmanthus cake cooked by the two of us very much."

She said that from tomorrow onwards, she would eat these two things for breakfast every day.

In addition, she also ordered us to steam and roast some more, and let me send it to Queen Gillian to taste. ”

Looking at Liu Laosan who was beautiful, Yang Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "I'm actually just a handicap, this peach cake and osmanthus cake, but they are all steamed and baked by your own hands, I really don't dare to take credit." ”

Liu Laosan laughed, reached into his arms, and took out the small ingot of gold that Yang Chuan gave him and threw it over: "Take it, third master, I actually tease you, don't take it seriously;

By the way, today's autumn is crisp, why don't you take a few sips of wine at noon? ”

Yang Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, good, thank you Sanye Liu!" ”

The two laughed for a while, Yang Chuan uncovered the bronze tripod, skimmed the impurities, blood foam and oil stains on the water surface, and then dropped three or five drops of balsamic vinegar into it, turned his head and said: "Liu Sanye, come on, come on, you can teach me to make this braised pork." ”

Liu Laosan's yellow face was slightly red, but he walked over with a grin: "Well, this kid is ingenious, I only told you about it once, and I learned it?" ”

Like Cao Xiang, this Liu Laosan naturally took the credit on his head, but he did not feel the slightest guilt.

Yang Chuan is very satisfied with this.

It's best for this guy to take care of everything, brag about it, and pin the cooking secrets of these 'delicacies' on his own head, which is the best result for Yang Chuan.

You know, this is the crime of 'killing the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty'......

……

In order to let the eldest princess of Guantao have a sweet and fat diet every day, Yang Chuan is also quite hard, and he meticulously taught the secret method of cooking braised pork to Liu Sanye one by one.

"Third master, you see, the reason why this braised pork is delicious is that it is bright in color, fat but not greasy, soft and refreshing, mellow and mellow, so that people who have eaten it will never forget it."

"So, this blanched pork still needs to be colored with sugar."

"Honey, caramel, and basket can all be mixed anyway, and after some hot water stew, you can add some soy sauce...... By the way, this soy sauce is not one of these meat sauces in our kitchen. ”

While making braised pork, Yang Chuan talked in detail, and taught Liu Sanye the secret method of making soy sauce from grain, but he didn't hide it at all.

So, two hours later.

A pot of quite 'authentic' braised pork with honey sauce was sent to Liu Yan's palace, and naturally Liu Sanye personally served it again.

And so it was, and the seven or eight days passed quickly.

Liu Sanye completely learned the cooking skills of peach crisp, osmanthus cake, and braised pork with honey, and also won a lot of rewards, and finally took off the coarse linen clothes and replaced them with silk and satin, showing off in front of people.

However, this guy's gaze at Yang Chuan also began to flicker, and inadvertently, a cold glow flashed in his two triangular eyes, like an ungrateful rattlesnake.

Yang Chuan knew it, but he remained silent.

He has seen a lot of this kind of goods.

It seems that this Liu Sanye feels that his little chef's 'inventory' is almost squeezed? Then, it's time to release a smoke screen and quietly leave.

But.

There was a finale dish that hadn't been served yet, and he couldn't leave for the time being.

That's the "Best Cream Cake".

Just when Yang Chuan was hiding in the kitchen and quietly 'purifying refined salt', Liu Laosan brought a piece of news that made him a little uneasy: on the same day or two, the eldest princess of Guantao was going to summon Yang Chuan.

Hearing this information, Yang Chuan's heart suddenly struck.

'Could it be that the old woman is aware of this?' ’

However, he quickly erased this idea gently, because he saw a very vague jealousy, resentment and dissatisfaction on Liu Laosan's face, and he knew in his heart: it should be that the old woman ate refreshingly, and someone around him mentioned it, so he naturally remembered him as a little cook.

See, or go?

That's still a problem.

You must know that if Princess Guantao is summoned to see it, he, the 'chef Ren' who lurked in, will definitely leave a trace, and once the matter is revealed, it will inevitably be touched by Zhang Tang, Zhuang Qingzhai and others, and finally find out about him.

But.

Yang Chuan thought about it again and again and decided to go and see him.

Didn't he venture into Changmen Garden just to kill the old woman Liu with his own hands? Many of the previous assumptions and preparations were based on a common sense and a series of assumptions about food health, which was not targeted.

Only after seeing the eldest princess of the Pavilion Tao with his own eyes can Yang Chuan finally determine whether his method will work or not.

Of course.

In any case, before leaving, he had to leave another hard dish for Mrs. Liu......

……

The cream cake is easy to make, but it's not easy to make it into a hard dish that is as red as a crane but definitely not poison.

First of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of purification of green salt, which is just a common technical problem in later generations, and it is difficult for Yang Chuan;

Secondly, the ratio synthesis of cream, eggs, honey and oil, which seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult, no less than Zhang Zhongjing's "Daqinglong Soup";

Finally, there is the taste problem of this "poisonous milk cake".

You must know that when these ingredients are matched, they can also be sweet but not greasy, refreshing and pleasant, so that the old woman Liu not only can't get tired of it, but also has to be willing, as something she wants to eat every day, it's really a bit difficult.

Yang Chuan hid in the back kitchen, tossed for a long time, and finally came out.

Looking at the plate of poisonous milk cake in front of him, he let out a long breath and named it: Sanlu Little Milk Cake.

Well, that's a fitting fit.

During the Han Empire, the climate in Guanzhong was humid, the sunshine was very sufficient, the land was full of vitality, the vegetation grew very luxuriantly, and the elk was a very common animal.

Even, in the fiefdoms of some wealthy families, they often have their own deer farms, which is almost a symbol of rich and noble families, so this "Sanlu Little Milk Cake" is very appropriate.

"Ren cook, hurry up, change into clean clothes, and follow me to meet the eldest princess."

On the evening of the third day, Liu Sanye ran back with a roar, holding a brand new set of servant clothes in his arms: "Hurry up and change it, don't defile the eyes of the nobles!"

By the way, you saw the eldest princess, don't talk nonsense, write it down? ”

When he said this, a faint hint of coldness flashed in Liu Laosan's two triangular eyes, and the threat was obvious.

"Also, the eldest princess knows that the peach crisp osmanthus cake was made by you, so you don't need to hide anything, but the braised pork with honey is the craft I taught you, and I wrote it down?"

Yang Chuan nodded, handed the small plate of "Sanlu Little Milk Cake" to Liu Laosan, smiled very shyly, and said: "Liu Sanye, the Sanlu Little Milk Cake you taught me to prepare is ready, you can taste it, can it still meet the taste of the nobles?" ”

Liu Laosan's eyes lit up, stretched out a finger, dipped a little milk cake in his mouth, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly tasted it for a long time.

"Hey, this one is so delicious!" Liu Laosan gasped.

Immediately, his face became indifferent, he coughed lightly, and said, "How about the method I taught you?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded harmlessly, turned around and walked to the stove, brought over a plate of small milk cake and stuffed it in Liu Laosan's hand, and said: "Third Master Liu, this is cooked by you, let the eldest princess taste it first, and then you will teach me the specific method." ”

Liu Laosan smiled and threw out a small ingot of gold: "I will invite you to drink in the evening, third master." ”

"Let's go, let's go and meet the eldest princess first."

The transition plot of these chapters is written slowly and hard by the cook, but the root cause is still a sense of psychological discomfort.

As a cook...... Okay, let's let Yang Chuan be ruthless!
