Chapter 28 Refusal of Bargaining
"Fat aunt, these two beef ribs help me to remove the bones, wipe them with this water, and then rub some salt and put them next to me for a while. ”
"Little rocks, go, go, take them to play! Don't put your hand in the pot! Burn you to death!"
"Oh, Fat Auntie, who do you want to kill? This is bacon? I don't have much salt with me, save some use!"
"Yes, continue to skimm, these foams are skimmed out, don't leave anything behind, it's all blood in the flesh, and the meat is not fishy when it is cooked. ”
"You don't need to ask me about the rice, I don't steam it as well as you, you just decide. ”
......
Except for the aunts who picked their noses and didn't wash their hands, and the children who stole meat in circles, Fengyun's dinner work went quite well.
Pan-fried steak, vegetarian stir-fried choy sum, roasted beef with cabbage, beef soup...... When each dish was brought to the leaders' tables, it provoked exclamations and inquiries.
Every banquet is a grand event for the Li people, and the young men who have only come of age will put on the most beautiful clothes, bring the prey minions they have brought back with their own hands, and give them to the women they like. On days like these, food is important, but more people usually choose to fill their stomachs in a hurry to satisfy other hunger and thirst.
The patriarch is happy to see this kind of thing come to fruition, and the same is true of the old Jiuyi department. Newborns are the hope of the tribe, and the more children can grow into more warriors, which is an important thing for the development of the tribe. If it weren't for the lack of food, Li was willing to hold a banquet every day.
What's more, with such a good skill as Fengyun, Li was greedy and touched his stomach, and he even wanted to secretly use magic power to dissolve the satiety and eat more dishes...... This thought made him a little ashamed, and in order to cover it up, he gave the steak on his plate to the little Li guy who was drooling and climbing on him.
Li women have always believed that let children have more contact with strong warriors, and children will grow into powerful warriors in the future.
Li Greed doesn't care about this, he doesn't feel that it is a degrading thing to be covered in saliva, on the contrary, he feels very proud, the little guy who has not grown his teeth is not small, this is the strong future of the Li people.
......
Fengyun has always believed that the most delicious thing about a cow is not any part of the meat or offal, but the bone oil in the bones. But for most Jiuli people, it is obviously not cost-effective to spend effort to break the thick bones of the bowl to suck that bit of bone marrow.
Ordinary Li Min has limited strength, and cannot easily break the thick and thin beef leg bone at the mouth of the bowl, and the time it takes to break it can eat a full meal, so no one is interested in the charred stick bones of Fengyun, but feasts on rare meat. In the comparison of quality and quantity, ordinary Li Min chose quantity one-sidedly.
However, the witch wars are quite curious about Fengyun's roasted leg bones, they are no strangers to the aroma of bone marrow, they can easily break animal bones, and in the past, they often cracked the bones and sucked the bone marrow after eating the meat. But that kind of thing tends to get tired of the taste when you eat too much, and it doesn't have the strong aroma made by Fengyun.
The copper saw blade was still soft for the hardness of the cow bone, and Fengyun had to use the little remaining power of the Divine Yuan.
The triangular air flow breaks through the air and makes a sharp whistling sound, creating a powerful cutting force under the high-speed flow, and the hard beef bone is cut in half lengthwise like tofu. The incision is smooth, like an open bamboo tube, and the fat bone oil is the rice grains, which are roasted by the flames, and the fat bursts, making an attractive sizzling sound.
After only cutting a cow bone, Fengyun put away the power of the Divine Yuan in distress, and the divine consumption of the high-pressure airflow was no less than that of giving birth to a tornado. This thing is a little less, and it took half of it to fight with Li Rou in the morning, and it took a small half of it to cut it down, and this speed is really unbearable!
Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, to be honest, he is really reluctant to lose this powerful power, where to get some Shenyuan power!
Relatively speaking, the wind blade is the most cost-effective, first use the wind blade to split a small hole, and then use the copper axe to chop, and master the strength can also split the cow bone.
Half of the salt he brought had been used, and Fengyun had never thought that ordinary salt could make so many people so crazy.
Barbecue is the oldest dish, and every Li person is a master of barbecue, and they know the difference in the taste of every piece of meat on every animal. But they never thought that just adding that magical white powder would give the meat a new lease of life.
The function of salt is to improve freshness, sodium chloride in a suitable proportion to maximize the deliciousness of the meat itself, the inexplicable chemical reaction is magic for the Li people, people who have tasted Feng's barbecue look at Fengyun eyes have become awe and curiosity, in their opinion, this is undoubtedly the greatest blessing of the ancestors.
Sichuan pepper powder and salt are like catalysts, and the fragrance spreads as quickly as a bomb after being sprinkled on the big bones of the cow, staring at the rotating Li meat of the whole cow and sniffing, turning his head to stare at the movements of the wind and clouds, motionless.
Scooped up a large piece of bone oil that shook like jelly with a small piece of wood, handed it to his mouth and sipped it into his mouth, Fengyun squinted his eyes with satisfaction, ah~!
Feeling the blazing eyes from all directions, Fengyun swallowed the bone oil in his mouth, put the roasted beef bones in the tray, and asked the fat aunt to carry them to the big witch grandmother, if he slowed down, he was afraid that he would be swallowed by the Li people who were drooling around. Especially Li Rou, Fengyun felt that the way he looked at himself was not looking at a person at all, but at a big barbecue that could never be eaten. After a shudder, Fengyun turned his head away from him, turned back to boil the broth, and looked in the direction of Li Geng's table while skimming the foam, as if waiting for something.
"Today is really an eye-opener!" Fang Ren was also full of praise for the roasted beef bones, and smiled at Li Greed: "After eating this brother's food, I'm afraid my brother and I won't be able to eat when I go back!"
"That white powder is really amazing, no matter what kind of food you add to it, it becomes sweet and delicious, I heard that the Fengyun brother said that its name is salt, isn't it related to salt soil?" Yang Lidi picked out the unmelted salt grains on the meat cube and asked thoughtfully.
Li Greed picked up the clay bowl and drank the hot broth, as if he hadn't heard him, and ignored him. Yang Li smiled and said: "Lord, there is a piece of salt land west of my Yangcheng, and Brother Fengyun has spent a lot of money this time, so it is better to let him go back to Yangcheng with me and bring back more salt soil." ”
Yang Lidi is the leader of the old tribe of Yangyi, and Yangyi is also a large tribe second only to Xuanyi and Li. It is across the river from the old department of Xuanyi, and it is also the biggest help of the old department of Xuanyi. The leaders of each department are not lonely and unheard, and they are no strangers to salt soil, so they can naturally guess it if they think about it a little, but Yang Lidi said it directly, and the intention is not obvious.
Li Yan didn't answer, smiled and cast his eyes on the leader of Fang Yi's old department, Fang Ren also immediately understood, and said with a smile: "This salt is indeed a treasure, not only appetizing and refreshing, but after I finished eating, I also felt like I had added a lot of strength, and my whole body was comfortable." I also ask the lord of the country to tell Brother Fengyun that if he has enough money, I am willing to exchange some to bring back to Fangcheng. ”
As soon as he said this, he immediately blocked Yang Lidi's words. Everyone is not stupid, the importance of salt is clear at a glance, everyone knows that the salt land that Yang Li said has entered the land of Yanbu, and the meaning of his question is nothing more than to set up the raw materials for making salt. He didn't expect to know how to make it, as long as Li Yuan didn't deny that salt was made of salt soil, then the importance of Yangcheng as the only way to get salt soil would be greatly increased, and the benefits it would bring were indescribable.
Li Greed put down the water cup and said with a smile: "This salt is a thing of the wind and clouds, he is willing to share it today, it is for the sake of a national situation, although I am the lord of the country, but I can't forcibly take the things of the people, if you want to change the salt, it is better to negotiate with him in person." ”
......
A good chef with a handful of salt, fresh ingredients do not need any heavy condiments, simple salt can bring out its original umami.
Fengyun took half a spoonful of broth with a wooden spoon, tasted the taste, looked in the direction of the upper seat again, and sure enough, he saw Li Wen coming over, a smile raised on the corner of his mouth, and he stood with his hands behind his back to greet him.
Smelling the fresh aroma of the broth, Li Wen smiled and said: "Brother is a good craft, when I go back to Jincheng, I won't be able to taste the food you cooked!"
"Aren't you going back to Chiyou City?" asked Fengyun suspiciously.
Li Wen shook his head and said: "The patriarch and the nine of us are the same mother brothers, after subduing the Jiuyi, except for the patriarch, our eight brothers are all leading the army to guard the eight cities as the prison city, this time it is for the matter of the west, after the matter is over, we naturally have to return to the city to continue to guard." ”
"Oh! That's it!" Fengyun nodded, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll give you a box when you leave, it's enough for you to eat for a month or two, and it's not enough to come to me again." ”
Li Wen said with a smile: "I don't dare to accept such a rare thing, and I am not the only one who wants it, the patriarch and the old leader are talking about this, so let you go over and talk too." ”
Sure enough, Fengyun smiled and said, "Okay!" and walked with Li Wen to the upper seat.
"Come, sit with me. Seeing the wind and clouds coming, Li Yan patted the position beside him, and did not hide his importance at all.
Fengyun was not polite, sat next to him, put his arm around Li Greed's shoulders and asked, "How is it?"
Li said with a smile: "Today is a send-off banquet, I don't count if I eat well, I have to eat a few leaders well!"
Several of the old chiefs laughed and praised Fengyun's craftsmanship.
The laughter paused, and Yang Li smiled and asked: "Brother Fengyun, this salt is really a good thing, after tasting the food made of it, what we eat on weekdays is simply unbearable, I am really afraid that I will not be able to eat without salt after returning to the city, I specially invite you to come over, I want to ask you to endure the pain and cut your love, and even out some salt, we are willing to exchange it with a good thing!"
Fengyun smiled, but the hand under the table clenched his fist, and after a long day of hard work, he was finally not busy in vain, and he could finally talk about business. Clearing his throat, Fengyun smiled: "Salt is very simple to make, if you change it, I don't have much to change for you, why don't you change it for me?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the table had different faces, some were surprised, some were surprised, whispered to each other, talking about the authenticity of Fengyun's words, and Li Greed's face had sunk irrepressibly.
Seeing Li Greed's face, he could also feel the spreading murderous aura, Fengyun hurriedly said loudly: "If you want to change my salt making method, just exchange it for people, I don't want your grain and furs, I only need people! 10,000 people for one copy, refuse to bargain!"
