Chapter 20 Ingredients must not be let down

In the house, Zhao Si and Wang Li were in one case.

There are sliced lamb, chicken, buttermilk, beans, meat sauce, flour, salt, leek sauce, and unknown greens......

A small tripod is placed on the side of the case, baked by charcoal, and the water is boiling.

"In the barracks, the food is poor, forgive me!" Wang Li smiled and spoke.

"It's already very rich!" Zhao Si smiled and shook his head.

The food provided by the Qin Dynasty was often directly related to the level of the title.

Zhao Si's current title is only one level, which was set when he was in Langya before, and everyone was promoted to one level, which is the lowest level of public servants.

The official food rules for the lower titles consisted only of a bucket of coarse grains and low-quality pieces of salt.

Coarse grains are really coarse, not coarse grains in the modern traditional sense, but grains that do not shell. During the Qin Dynasty, the shelling technology was also relatively backward, and the shelling process was more time-consuming and laborious, and the cost was relatively high.

Zhao Si has been bad enough on the boat, dried vegetables, and all kinds of wild fruits, fish, kelp, shells, in short, in this era around the world, don't think about how rich the food can be, docking is a troublesome thing, the worst thing is that many places are deserted at all, and you may not be able to replenish food after you dock.

There is no shortage of fish and all kinds of seafood, and there are a lot of salted dried fish in the cabin, which really makes Zhao Si vomit.

Going ashore and then having a good meal is one of the driving forces that supported Zhao Si's return to Qin.

Unexpectedly, he was directly managed by the military, and the food in the military camp was even more indescribable.

Coarse grains are really slashing, and so are they when they are cooked thoroughly.

Zhao Si even missed the days of eating dried salted fish.

Wang Li is worthy of being a big dog, even if he eats in the barracks, he can be so luxurious.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as Zhao Si's favorite beef.

However, Zhao Si, who is familiar with online novels, knows that cultivating cattle was extremely important in ancient times, and was even directly protected by law, after all, this thing is closely related to agriculture.

I don't know if there were any relevant laws in the Qin Dynasty.

"Please eat together!" Wang Li smiled and saluted, probably the etiquette of a friend's banquet?

Zhao Si didn't know how to be polite, so he could only learn vaguely, and held up the buttermilk on the table to drink it all.

It's not wine......

Zhao Si noticed the rice grains in the buttermilk, thinking it was rice wine or something, but there was no wine taste at all when he drank it, the taste was sour, it tasted okay, it was more appetizing, and it was equivalent to a flavored drink.

After drinking the buttermilk, Zhao Si cooked the mutton salt in the ding.

This form is very similar to eating hot pot, or this form is the predecessor of hot pot.

Braised and pickled, four mainstream cooking methods.

Cooking is naturally as in front of you, the food is cooked, and the civilians use clay pots to cook the grain, and a big dog like Wang Li is more particular about eating, the ingredients are placed on the table, and the diners cook themselves. It's not much different from hot pot.

Needless to say, it is grilled, which can be considered the predecessor of barbecue?

Pickling is pickling, pickles, meat sauce, dried meat, salted fish, etc., all belong to the category of pickling.

Pork is eaten raw, sashimi, raw meat...... All the rage in this era of scarcity of culinary means. In modern parlance, it is to eat sashimi.

Of course, history records that there are not a few people who eat death.

The mutton is placed in the ding, with the miscellaneous spices in the ding, it begins to boil slowly, the white smoke rolls, the fragrance comes to the nose, the mutton rises and falls, and it appears from time to time.

Zhao Si tasted the noodles on the table again.

It is a small snack, it should be made of rice noodles, it tastes glutinous and glutinous, you may feel that it belongs to the general taste at first taste, the sweetness is very light, the taste stimulation is not strong, but it is not greasy, it will not look particularly dry, and it tastes very smooth.

Taking advantage of the chat with Wang Li, Zhao Si took another look at the unknown green vegetables.

It tastes like cabbage?

But it is far from the shape of modern cabbage, and it has not fully evolved? It's not the appearance of a little cabbage, it gives people a half-hung feeling.

The meat needs to be cooked for a long time, Zhao Si likes to eat cooked food, and secondly, because he is infected with parasites in this era, it is really hopeless, unlike the future generations who can go to the hospital to struggle.

Zhao Si first soaked the green vegetables to eat, but considering that there may be insect eggs on the green vegetables, Zhao Si still soaked them for a long time, and the main thing is to save his life.

After shabu-shabu, spread the leek sauce and taste it.

The taste is not special, it is the sweet taste of green vegetables and leek sauce.

Then I tried to dip it in black meat sauce.

Zhao Si frowned......

"What the is this meat sauce from?" Zhao Si said secretly in his heart.

It's salty, it's bitter, and it's fishy......

Zhao Si gradually realized that something was wrong, he may have overestimated the food level of this era, the lack of seasonings and the lack of eating methods, plus the lack of technology in hard work, I am afraid it is difficult to satisfy Zhao Si, a guy who has been influenced by science and technology since he was a child.

When the meat is cooked, sure enough......

Bland...... It can be eaten with leek sauce and salt grains. That's it......

Zhao Si is not picky, he can't eat anything.

He ate more than the garbage on the ship.

The main thing is that there is a problem with his mentality, he came with the mentality of enjoying the food and rewarding the sense of taste, so many ingredients that can be called precious in this era, it is really tasteless to eat.

Wang Li noticed Zhao Si's brows, and said with a pale face: "But the food is not delicious enough?" ”

Zhao Si nodded, and then explained in order to avoid Wang Li's misunderstanding: "The ingredients are already rich enough. ”

Zhao Si didn't want to waste a few ingredients, and it was disrespectful to eat it so tastelessly.

Thinking about it carefully, the chili peppers brought back from overseas were still in stock, and Zhao Si gradually paid attention to it in his heart.

Zhao Si looked at Wang Li and said: "I brought a spice from overseas, the food is spicy, put it in the pot, the meat tastes very beautiful, do you want to try one or two?" ”

When Wang Li heard that it was a brand-new crop from overseas that he had never seen before, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"There can be butter and pepper, it's better to match one or two!" Zhao Si asked.

"Yes!"

Butter and pepper are very precious, and needless to say, butter is almost completely wild now, produced near the Qinling Mountains, and it is a spice.

Spices, in ancient times, were soft gold. At least until it was widely cultivated, it was more expensive than gold.

Unfortunately, none of this is anything to Wang Li.

As a guy who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, and he was favored by his grandfather Wang Qian, and he did not experience Wang Ben's fatherly education, Wang Li can say that he can have whatever he wants.

Wang Li ordered someone to fetch it, but Zhao Si saw that the servant was about to leave, but in the end he didn't hold back.

"If you have beef, you can cut some more beef......"

Although I'm embarrassed, I can't help it, Zhao Si is really hungry for beef.
