Oyster sauce is delicious, has a strong oyster aroma, moderate viscosity and high nutritional value. It is also the main ingredient in preparing traditional Cantonese dishes such as oyster sauce beef with mushrooms, oyster sauce vegetables, and oyster sauce noodles.

Before eating the seafood dinner, Mu Qing had to make the oyster sauce first.

This was Mu Qing's first time cooking oyster sauce.

Add water and salt to a large pot, then put the oysters into the pot and steam them over high heat.

When the oyster meat shrinks to one third of its original volume, it can be taken out.

After removing the oyster meat, continue to boil the remaining juice to obtain concentrated oyster juice.

There are slight differences in color and taste between concentrated oyster juice and modern oyster sauce.

To make the color close to that of oyster sauce.

On this basis, raw materials such as sugar, salt, starch and other food additives can be added.

Mu Qing stir-fried water and sugar in a 1:1 ratio until they became bright red and shiny.

This step is to fry the sugar color.

Then pour in the oyster sauce.

Sugar not only brings out the sweetness of oyster sauce but also enriches its color.

Finally, thicken the sauce with water and starch and add salt to make oyster sauce.

Salt is added to increase the shelf life.

Oyster sauce can be used to make oyster sauce beef and scallion oil oysters.

Both dishes require soy sauce.

The seasonings in ancient times were simple. Apart from salt and sugar, the sour part of the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and fresh flavors were usually replaced with plums as seasoning by ordinary people at home.

At this time, there were already vinegar makers, that is, officials in charge of making vinegar.

In fact, vinegar already existed in this era, but it was difficult to make.

Vinegar is made by fermenting millet rice with malt koji to produce alcohol, which is then oxidized into acetic acid by acetic acid bacteria. At this point, it is also called "bitter wine."

Vinegar is a precious and rare condiment. In Anping, Mu Qing not only makes vinegar, but also controls the price because of the large quantity.

Nowadays, ordinary people in Anping can also afford vinegar.

Ginger is usually used to season spicy food.

As for the chili peppers, they may still be in some corner of this world. Mu Qing has been searching for seeds and plants for so many years but has not found any.

This is also one of the reasons why Mu Qing wanted to capture Shucheng and Daocheng.

Some spices, for example, could not be found in the Tianchi Dynasty at all and could only be obtained from other countries through maritime trade.

To make a dish more flavorful.

There is no need to say much about soy sauce. When Mu Qing was still learning to walk, he instigated Mu Wu to help him make soy sauce.

Finally, it was successfully produced.

Soy sauce is made from soybeans.

Mu Qing also brought this recipe to Anping.

Mu Qing used a lot of saltpeter to transport the seafood from Shucheng to Anping. She also specially asked Shen Moyan to deliver this batch of goods.

The condensation technique in magic can keep these ingredients at around zero degrees.

Mu Qing arrived in Anping first, and then asked Shen Moyan to come slowly. With his speed, he could reach Anping quickly without flying a sword.

The ingredients were ready, and Mu Qing, who hadn't cooked for a long time, stood on a stool and busy himself at the stove.

Shen Moyan and An Yin helped her out.

When they were in the world of cultivation, they helped Mu Qing prepare food and make fire.

An Yin, in particular, was very enthusiastic in order to have a good meal, and had long been trained by Mu Qing to become a qualified cook.

Oyster sauce is delicious and rich, and when stir-fried with beef, it fully brings out its umami flavor.

Mu Qing worked for a long time and finally cooked dinner.

"Mr. Li, Yuehong, come on, come on, take a seat."

Mu Qing invited Li Min, Yue Hong, Zhuge Huaian and Mo Xuzhi and several other aides to the seafood feast.

The military generals include Xiang Quan and Situ Jin.

Of course there are also Wanqi Zixi, Xu Yu, Xu Fuzi and others.

Mu Wu, Mu Shu and Mu Shan, as family members, had already taken their seats.

After Mu Qing rushed Shen Moyan and An Yin from the kitchen to their seats, he pulled Jiang Ji back from the farm.

The meal will officially start after everyone is present.

Li Min began paying attention to the oyster sauce that Mu Qing was making since the day before yesterday when Mu Qing seemed to be in a crazy state.

Although the dishes on the table exuded a fragrant aroma, he couldn't put his chopsticks down when he thought that they were made from the juice boiled in the oyster house.

Mo Xuzhi had naturally heard about this as well, and he picked up his chopsticks hesitantly.

The seafood feast was dominated by oysters.

Shen Moyan and An Yin are different, they know Mu Qing's cooking skills.

An Yin picked up her chopsticks as fast as lightning.

Before Mo Xuzhi put down his chopsticks, she had already eaten two pieces of beef.

The beef is covered with a rich sauce and topped with the freshness of oyster sauce.

It has a great color, aroma and taste. The freshness of the beef jumps on the tip of your tongue when you take a bite.

An Yin's eyes lit up and she quickly picked up another piece of beef. She ate the rice without saying a word and just buried her head in eating.

With An Yin in front of him, Mo Xuzhi put the butter into his mouth hesitantly. The moment it touched his tongue, he could taste its deliciousness.

Compared to Mo Xuzhi who was tasting the food carefully, Mu Qing saw that Li Min was still reluctant to eat, so she directly used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of beef and oysters with scallion oil and put them into Li Min's bowl.

"Mr. Li, please."

Mu Qing looked at Li Min with a smile. Apart from Li Min, everyone else sitting at the two large tables had already been eating with great enthusiasm.

Li Min looked at the meat in the bowl helplessly. He had to take a mouthful of rice and then stuff the beef and oysters into his mouth at the same time.

He chewed it quickly, and the fresh taste of the oyster instantly spread in his mouth.

The oyster beef was tender and juicy. Li Min paused, and his expression changed from being forced to enjoying.

He savored the smooth texture of the beef.

Beef and mutton are already popular among the rich and powerful, and beef with oyster sauce and soy sauce is full of freshness and fragrance, making its taste even better.

Just adding this ingredient to oyster sauce is delicious even when used to dip shoe horns.

Li Min seriously picked up a few pieces of oysters and put them into the bowl. Although he was already intoxicated by the aroma of the dish, his every move was still very reserved.

It was a rare day that no one was talking about official business. The only sounds at the table were the sounds of chopsticks picking up food and eating.

After the meal, even Master Xu, who ate less as he got older, ate two full bowls of rice.

An Yin was even more exaggerated, eating one bowl after another.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Mu Qing cleared his throat:

"I plan to open a company in Shucheng."

"company?"

Everyone looked at Mu Qing in confusion.

“A company is a form of enterprise organization that is formed to meet the needs of large-scale socialized production in the market economy.”

After many classes, everyone already knew the general meaning of the words Mu Qing said.

Mu Qing continued:

"Shucheng is close to the sea, so it can develop oyster farming and produce oysters, and oyster sauce can be its mainstay of economy."

Zhuge Huaian nodded. After eating the beef with oyster sauce, he looked at Mu Qing in approval:

“Dishes fried with oyster sauce are fresh and fragrant.”

"Not only that, Shucheng also has sea salt and kelp. By relying on these seafood products, Shucheng's economy may grow faster than Anping's."

Mu Qing was thinking about kelp and MSG.

As long as Shucheng has these two seasonings, it won't be afraid of not being able to develop:

"Hao Ziwei Co., Ltd. will mainly produce seasonings in the future, build up its brand first, and then sell them to the rich and powerful at high prices."
