Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 106

This time, because he brought up all the leftover pickles, bacon, and seasonings from home, the fat cook quickly picked out a few ingredients from the three caves and went back into the kitchen. He took off his straw raincoat and started working, without even having time to change his wet clothes.

As soon as he came up the mountain, he went to the kitchen and arranged the sweeping, boiling water, and chopping firewood. Being a chef is not just about cooking, all the trivial work in the kitchen is his job!

If the arrangement is not good, it will affect the food, the masters will go hungry, how can the servants have a good harvest? !

There is a lot of knowledge here!

"Quick dish, quick dish, quick dish!" The fat cook muttered to himself as he deftly poured three salted chickens that had been chopped and soaked nearby into the pot. He blanched them in water to prevent them from being too salty, then fished them out and washed them.

"Changxi, big fire!"

"Hey, Dad!" Changxi hurriedly added firewood to the stove and poked it from time to time. Although he was only nine years old, he was a good fireman. Although he was the youngest son of the fat cook, he was also a servant of the old Jiang family. The master was kind-hearted, but their family could not be ungrateful. He was too young to do heavy work, but he could do small things like making fire. Moreover, he was under the hands of his biological father, so he could not be abused.

Stir-fry the fat on the salted chicken over high heat, as this is the key to making the salted chicken more fragrant as it is stewed. Then add the onion, ginger and garlic to stir-fry until fragrant. Add a small dish of soaked soybeans and stir-fry until the skin is wrinkled. Finally, add boiling water to cover the ingredients. When the water boils, turn to medium heat, then to low heat and simmer for at least thirty minutes.

"Master, the pot here has been washed, we can start making soup." Xiao Shun said as he placed the ingredients on the table next to the pot to make it easier for the master to take them.

Changxi took the firewood from the stove here and put it into the stove next to it, then added a handful of straw and a handful of twigs, and the fire soon became prosperous.

As soon as the water started to boil, the fat chef put in a plate of salted duck eggs, and then put in a handful of mustard greens. After the water boiled, the mustard greens turned green and began to season. Salted eggs are salty to begin with, so how much salt to put really depends on experience, but the fat chef said - he has a handle on it!

The salted chicken tastes salty by itself, and the mustard greens soup is refreshing, just the right amount to quench your thirst.

Xiao Shun had just come back. He had just taken the cups, bowls and chopsticks to the masters' hall. When he heard his master say that the soup was ready, he immediately took two large soup bowls, filled them with soup, and swiftly put them in the food boxes to send to the masters.

The soup is hot and is served first. Firstly, it makes the dishes appear to be served quickly, and secondly, the second dish can be served after the host has finished drinking the soup.

"Fat chef, what delicious food are you making?" Xiao Shun had just taken out the soup when several women came to the kitchen with a pot in each hand to cook. When they saw the fat chef, they greeted him familiarly.

Because of the purchase of Jiang's restaurant, the fat cook occasionally helped Jiang Yiyu to buy ingredients in the village, and he was quite familiar with the villagers. At this time, he sighed: "It's still some salted meat, salted chicken, pickled bamboo shoots and vegetables. The fresh ingredients can't be preserved. They were eaten up ten days after the rain. Now I have thousands of recipes in my stomach but I can't cook them. I can only make some simple dishes. I really feel ashamed of my masters. Alas——"

It has been raining all day, and fresh ingredients cannot be kept. The only fresh leafy vegetables that the Jiang family can eat now are a handful of mustard greens that were just used up in making soup, and some winter melons, carrots, and white radishes stored in the cellar.

No more.
