Chapter 30: Calling Brother
The steward slapped the cook on the head, turned around and squatted in front of Ren Baqian with a cold face, took out a little from each small bag and put it in his mouth to taste, and after only tasting a few, his complexion changed again and again. As a cook, he thinks that there are at least two of them, which should be used as spices.
However, it depends on how to use it and what kind of smell it will emit after being put into the pot.
There are many things that have a taste, but not all of them can be used as seasonings.
It's just that he's not so sure at this point.
When he got up and looked at Ren Baqian, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before saying, "You do it, we will watch from the side." If these are really spices for cooking, I will call you brother when I see you in the future. ”
"Then you've earned it. As soon as Ren Baqian spoke, the faces of the stewards and everyone turned dark.
I wanted to scold, but everyone forced it.
Wait for a while, and settle the accounts after Ren Baqian finishes cooking. However, many people looked at Ren Baqian's expression and doubted that there was no chance to settle this account. I'm afraid the Imperial Kitchen will be wiped out this time.
Ren Baqian ignored them anymore, and walked around the imperial kitchen twice, silent.
Finally, he found half a beast's leg from the corner of the wall, this kind of meat he had seen in the kitchen of the beastyard, it was the kind of animal that pulled the cart on the street, but the appearance was that of an enlarged version of a goat.
The smell is very strong, but the taste is very good, and he thinks it is much better than the mutton of the earth.
"Who's going to cut it for me, cut it into slices, one plate is enough. Ren Baqian turned his head to the door and asked. His knife work is really incomparable with these cooks, so he won't be ugly.
"You go!" Hook Steward gritted his teeth, but still ordered someone to let him give Ren Baqian a hand.
Then Ren Baqian took out another piece of meat, turned his head to look at everyone, and showed a smile that he thought was kind, and the meaning was self-evident.
The people in the imperial dining room looked at him, and the roots of their teeth itched.
This time it was another person holding a kitchen knife and walking towards Ren Baqian with a fierce face, if it was placed on the earth, it would look like that kind of revenge on society, how far Ren Baqian would definitely be hiding as far as he could.
However, the people in Da Yaoguo all seemed like this, but Ren Baqian didn't care too much, but instead advised: "Cut it into small pieces, it should be a layer of fat and a layer of thin, with a little skin." ”
Seeing that the two of them cut it there, Ren Baqian found two cucumbers to wash, put them on the board and pat them twice before chopping them.
Yes, that's right, this is ready to shoot cucumbers, but unfortunately there is no peeling, and it is barely okay to fry some peanuts and mix them together in it for a while.
After the meat was cut and washed, Ren Baqian first marinated the mutton with cumin, the spices of this world, and peppercorns. After a while, I am ready to make a cumin lamb, a braised pork.
They are all relatively famous dishes.
But when he went to get the pot, he shouted directly in his heart: "Day".
This pot is so heavy? At least thirty or forty pounds, I can barely hold it with one hand. Adults can move, but don't think about it if you want to flip a spoon with one hand.
And the spatula is the same, thick and heavy, let eight thousand weigh it, at least seven or eight catties, wisely put it aside. I use this thing to cook by myself, and I guess it will be sour after a few strokes.
Turning his head and seeing that the two people went back to stand and watched, Ren Baqian hooked his hand: "I said, you two do it." ”
"You can't even stir-fry vegetables, so you still want to cook?" someone muttered.
Ren 8,000 spread his hands, but also helpless. The sauté pan of this world is too heavy. Thinking of the kitchen knife he just held, it was also not light. I don't know if it's their habit or what, or maybe the key thing feels good?
Looking at the physique of these cooks who can fit the two of them with big shoulders and round waists, Ren Baqian thinks it is very likely.
The two cooks reluctantly walked over, and Ren Baqian first commanded a person to do it, first stir-frying the sugar, boiling the brown sugar soy sauce out of the bubbles, then putting in a seasoning similar to green onion and ginger, and then putting the meat pieces in and stir-frying.
Ren Baqian picked up the laborious iron pot with one hand, and Da Yaoren held it like paper, easily flapping up and down in his hand. Let Ren Baqian recognize the gap between himself and Dayao people again.
With the exception of the two cooks, everyone else was watching from a little farther away.
Although Ren Baqian was not pleasing to the eye, they all paid attention to it at this time.
Because the process of frying sugar in the beginning is something they haven't done.
When you put the nutmeg, star anise, and cinnamon inside, the fragrance comes out at once, and the whole imperial dining room can smell the fragrance, and the eyes of the surrounding cooks will light up immediately when they smell it.
If nothing else, the smell alone is really tempting, so fragrant.
The other ingredients are all here, but they have never made this kind of taste, they can only say that what Ren Baqian brought is indeed a seasoning, and it is the kind that can improve the dish by more than one grade.
At the end of the simmer, Ren Baqian commanded another cook to fry the cumin mutton.
As soon as the cumin was put down, the aromatic and strong smell of cumin came out, which these cooks had never heard before.
At this time, everyone couldn't stand still, and they all crowded over.
First of all, he took out the cumin mutton, put a little in a small plate, first ate a piece for himself, and then smiled and handed it to the hook manager: "Taste?"
The hook steward took the plate with a calm face, waited for it to cool down a little, picked up a piece with two fingers, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then handed the plate behind him, and the cooks hurriedly took a piece of it, and put it in their mouths, and their eyes lit up immediately.
The smell of meat has decreased a lot, and it is more tender and delicious, especially with the smell of cumin, which makes people simply praise, and when they only eat one piece and then want to look for it, they find that the plate is empty.
"How?" said Ren Baqian with a smile on his face.
The hook steward gritted his teeth, stared at Ren Baqian, and finally bowed his head and said, "Brother Ren!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Ren Baqian smiled and looked at the other cooks.
"Brother Ren!" everyone shouted when they saw that they were in charge, so they all had to open their mouths.
Listening to the seven or eight big men with big shoulders and round waists who were there calling Brother Ren, Ren Baqian felt a big heart: "Okay, just remember to call Brother Sheng when we meet in the future." Brother Ren sounds weird. ”
The cooks in the field all felt aggrieved, but who let the bet lose?
Who would have thought that this guy from the Beast Garden would really come up with so many spices that he had never seen before.
When the braised pork was stewed, Ren Baqian also divided it into a large and small portion, tasted it himself first, and then handed it to the hook manager.
After eating this sweet and fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth braised pork, the little grievance in everyone's hearts was thrown aside, just wondering what these seasonings were?
(I just found out that I sent the wrong chapter, and I've changed it.) )
