Chapter 168: The Making of the Crude Version of Essence of Chicken
Criminal Department!
One by one, the two jailers opened the cell door, banged on the fence with sticks, and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can get out of prison." ”
As they shouted, the jailers were glad that they had followed the rules. Each line has its own rules, and the jailer's rule is not to provoke a warrior, unless the other party is a death row prisoner who has been abolished.
These high-grade martial artists who have not committed any major crimes, say that they will turn over, and this is an example in front of them.
The first reaction of the guards was that His Majesty's decree of condemnation had been issued, and they could be released from prison because the opponent's goal had been achieved, and there was no need to continue to imprison them.
But when they got out of the dungeon, they were told that they could go to sign and draw the pledge and get back their uniforms and gongs.
This process is very familiar to people, which means acquittal and reinstatement.
"Your Majesty has pardoned us?"
The people looked at each other, looking at each other's confused expressions, and everyone was very confused.
This prison sentence is clearly the result of a partisan struggle. Everyone is always fighting more people, and even the sinister and vicious party struggle, seize the opportunity to put the opponent to death. It's definitely not going to be easy to settle things down.
Duke Wei gave up something and replaced us from the Criminal Department.... Jiang Luzhong quickly made a guess and looked at the three golden gongs beside him.
The golden gongs silently exchanged glances, all of which were similar guesses. For a while, my heart was a little heavy, and then I was grateful for the death of my confidant, and I was secretly grateful to Wei Yuan in my heart.
After receiving their uniforms, weapons, waist cards and other items, the people left the criminal department in silence, and on the way back to the yamen, everyone finally had the joy of "the rest of their lives after the catastrophe".
From the initial silence, it turned into an excited conversation, and one guy even picked up his colleagues everywhere, saying that he was going to the workshop to be merry.
The golden gongs looked at him a few more times, he was a guy who walked with squinted eyes, and he looked like he was a slippery and treacherous type.
"Song Tingfeng, you just came out of prison, and you can't wait to make mistakes. The gong beside him was dissatisfied.
"What do you know, my head is such an incorruptible silver gong has gone in, it doesn't matter if you are greedy or not. It just depends on whether the adults above want to you or not. The squinting gong vibrated with words.
It's quite perceptive.... Jin Gong said in their hearts.
"If Xu Ningyan goes, we will go. "There is a gong to say.
Jiang Luzhong's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said to the golden gong beside him: "Xu Ningyan is the darling of the Jiaofang Division, and the oirans are vying for the object of pursuit. In addition to the floating incense, there were four oirans present at the time. ”
Under the questioning gaze of the three golden gongs, Jiang Luzhong, who was in a relaxed mood, rubbed the shallow crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "The name of the Oiran of the Teaching Workshop Division is well deserved, it makes me feel like I have returned to my youth." ”
The three golden gongs could not hide the envy in their eyes.
Although they are not short of women, the Oiran of the Jiaofang Division is not within the scope of the golden gongs that can be enjoyed freely, which is not to say that the power of the golden gongs is not big enough, but that the Jiaofang Division belongs to the department under the Ministry of Rites, and the power of the watchman is not useful here.
It is impossible for the golden gongs to have a tea meeting with the guests, and they directly ask for the Oiran to serve, and they will be rejected 100%. It's not good to make trouble, because the Ministry of Rites wants them to make trouble.
Back at Yamen, the four Jin Gong first went to Haoqilou to listen to Wei Yuan's teachings and show their loyalty.
"It's just right, take advantage of this opportunity to clear up the unhealthy tendencies of the yamen and manage your own subordinates. Wei Yuan said.
The four golden gongs bowed their heads and received their orders.
Wei Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This time you can come out, it is not me who should be thanked, but another person." ”
Another person, Your Majesty, Grant Amnesty, Jiang Lu and others guessed in their hearts.
"It's Xu Qi'an. Wei Yuan said gently.
Xu Qi'an's answer made the four golden gongs dare to surprise and be unbelievable.
Jiang Luzhong straightened his back and said in a respectful tone: "Gong Wei, what happened when I was in prison?"
Wei Yuan informed the four Jin Gong of the case of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the Witch God Cult, and focused on the importance of Xu Qi'an in the case.
The four golden gongs left Haoqi Building, and Jiang Luzhong's face was depressed and he was in a bad mood.
A golden gong joked: "Jealous of that gong's repeated merits?"
Jiang Luzhong shook his head, closed his eyes as sharp as a knife, and sighed: "I should have fought with Yang Yan to the end and recruited Xu Qi'an under my command." ”
"Xu Tongluo is indeed a rare talent, but his strength is lower. ”
"You know a fart, you don't know him at all...."Jiang Luzhong suddenly shut up.
"Huh?" the three golden gongs looked at him.
"Don't say it, don't say it. Jiang Luzhong shook his head.
"The surname is Jiang, you are a woman from Xueqinglou, take off your clothes and twist your buttocks, just seducing people, right? ”
"Tell me what's going on with that little gong, I think he's weird. Wei Yuan was too fond of a gong. ”
"If you want to know, ask Wei Gong to go. ”
No matter how the three golden gongs asked, Jiang Luzhong didn't say whether he was alive or dead.
.....
After briefly asking the second uncle's opinion, Xu Qi'an ran to the tooth store and bought the ghost house the next day.
In fact, the second uncle meant to take a look at it again, but the aunt and Lingyue were quite satisfied with the house, except for the female ghost in the well, but the second uncle Xu who was the head of the family said: Since Si Tianjian's people have seen it, there will be no problem.
Aunt and Xu Lingyue were completely relieved.
Yaxing admired Xu Qi'an's head iron very much, and was even a little embarrassed, so he specially hired people to clean the house.
During dinner, Xu Qi'an asked Xu Pingzhi: "Second uncle, the house has been idle for many years and needs to be repaired well. ”
Xu Pingzhi groaned: "Half a month is enough." ”
Half a month? It's not about fine decoration, why do you need so much time.... Xu Qi'an said: "Let's hire a group of craftsmen, find them from the outer city, and then let them rotate in a row at twelve o'clock, so that seven days will be about the same." ”
Xu Pingzhi was stunned: "Why is it the outer city, the craftsmen in the inner city are better." ”
"Because the carpenters in the outer city are cheap, and they don't know that the house is haunted. They can live in it with peace of mind. ”
My heart is so dark... The family thought to themselves.
The work of hiring a carpenter was handed over to Xu Pingzhi, and Xu Qi'an had no experience in these small things in the market.
Second Uncle Xu is from the old capital, he is in charge of these things, and his aunt and sister are relieved.
This man still has to have some hair on his mouth, men like it, and women like it too.
....
Xu Qi'an, who had not been to the Jiaofang Division for almost a week, drove out in a carriage and connected with the owner of the mountain goods shop who had been contacted in advance in the market, and bought two baskets of shiitake mushrooms from him.
Next, he fulfilled his two promises: first, to help Chu Caiwei be promoted to the sixth rank of warlock, and second, to give Chu Caiwei to eat.
The goal is clear, to make a rudimentary version of the essence of chicken.
Xu Qi'an watched a video before, and the person who posted the video was a gourmet, not Bei Ye, but a serious gourmet.
He collected a lot of ancient recipes and made food according to the steps of the recipes, only to find that the ancient food was not as delicious as he imagined.
After summing up, it is found that the biggest difference between modern cuisine and ancient cuisine is not the change and increase of style, but the reform and replacement of seasonings.
After coming to this world, Xu Qi'an deeply agreed with this statement, the chef of Guiyue Mansion is very good, but the meals of ordinary people are very bland, even if the Xu family has soup stock.
"The emergence of monosodium glutamate is a major breakthrough in the human food industry...."Xu Qi'an poured two baskets of shiitake mushrooms into the vat and soaked.
Then he went to the main house, stole an old hen, killed it, and stewed it in a small earthen stove.
Next, simply wash the soaked shiitake mushrooms, scoop them up and drain them, and put them in another pot in the earthen stove.
Xu Qi'an did not plan to concoct monosodium glutamate, because he lacked relevant knowledge and production experience, he only knew that the main ingredient of monosodium glutamate was monosodium glutamate. It can be extracted from grain fermentation and kelp.
.... But isn't it wine that comes out of the fermentation of grains? Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart as he recalled.
The option of extracting MSG from kelp was directly removed and not adopted, for the simple reason that the cost was too high.
Dafeng capital is located in the Central Plains, far away from the coast, although there is water transport and shipping, but the sea goods in the capital is still a luxury that can only be enjoyed by dignitaries.
"If you want to extract enough MSG from kelp, you need an extremely large amount, and you can't extract much MSG even if you buy it and go bankrupt. ”
Xu Qi'an's plan was to use chicken essence instead of monosodium glutamate, thanks to his curiosity when he was a child, one day, Mrs. Le suddenly came to the house, and his mother no longer needed monosodium glutamate.
He was curious about how this yellow bag had replaced MSG. So I took a closer look at the ingredients.
The main ingredient of chicken essence is guanylate, which is comparable to monosodium glutamate. Whereas, guanylate is abundant in shiitake mushrooms.
Time passed little by little, water was added a few times on the way, shiitake mushrooms and old hens gradually boiled, and a peculiar umami smell permeated the small kitchen.
Xu Qi'an took out the mushrooms, leaving thick juice in the pot, and the boiled mushrooms rested on the filter gauze, twisted hard, and wrung out the thick juice. After a few times, the shiitake mushrooms in the gauze were dry, and their bodies looked hollowed out.
After that, the thick old hen broth and shiitake mushroom juice are mixed together, the chicken and chicken bones are mashed in a pot, mixed into the juice, and stirred evenly.
However, it is to wait for the juice to dry naturally into lumps, and then grind the lumps into grinding powder, and the rudimentary version of chicken essence is formed.
After doing all this, Xu Qi'an glanced at the sky, and it was dusk.
At this point, the chef should be busy with dinner, just in time to try the invention of the 21st century.
Seek product feedback from your second uncle and aunt.
I have a hunch that Xu Lingyin is going to eat ten bowls today.... The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth were slightly upturned, and he happily filled the thick juice for a night, and went to the main house.
PS: Today is particularly sour, fighting wits and courage with superiors all day, looking for every opportunity to doze off. Whew~ Finally coded a chapter before getting off work.
I'll get home for the next chapter. In addition, ask for a monthly ticket~
