I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

When Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu came back, Xu Congyi called them to the backyard and told them his thoughts.

Old man Xu laughed, "Yi Yi, you have so many ideas in your little head. When grandpa saw your posture, I knew you were going to tinker with making an oven." Old man Xu's words were full of doting, and his love for his granddaughter was beyond words.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's an oven," Xu Congyi didn't expect that his grandfather would know it as soon as he heard it.

"Yi Yi, if you need it urgently today, your method is very good. You can use fire to dry the yellow mud and use it. But it lacks a flue, and the flue is the key to the oven. With it, the smoke can be discharged smoothly and the fire can be long-lasting and strong. Leave the rest to me!" Old man Xu squatted in front of the pit with a smile, asked his son to fetch water to prepare the mud, and dug out the flue himself.

With her grandfather and father here, Xu Congyi felt relieved. She went to the kitchen to marinate the chicken. She planned to make her own seasoning for the marinade.

Xu Congyi had found many tutorials on how to make homemade Orleans seasoning in the space before, but things like bell pepper powder and onion powder were simply not available in this era. If she bought them from the space, it would be better to buy Orleans marinade powder directly. So she thought about it for a long time and decided to make garlic and black pepper flavors. After all, garlic and pepper are both easy to buy.

To make the hamburger set, Xu Congyi used all the ingredients of this era except the chicken. She took this opportunity to give it a try. If the taste was good, she could also cooperate with Tang Wenhao to open a hamburger restaurant in the future.

Xu Congyi planned to make golden chicken nuggets, fried chicken wings and drumsticks, French fries and hamburgers. He first pounded the black pepper into a coarse powder in a stone mortar. When he was peeling garlic, Xu's mother and Li Dahua entered the kitchen.

"Yi Yi, what delicious food are you going to make? We'll help you."

"Grandma, Mom, please help me peel and chop garlic and peel the potatoes. Peel more potatoes." Xu Congyi was no longer polite now, so she could just prepare other things.

Xu Congyi prepared five pieces of chicken breasts and a small bowl of chicken wings and chicken legs. She chopped the chicken breasts into a paste, made cuts on the surface of the chicken wings to make it easier to flavor them, and cut a cut directly from the root of the chicken legs, so that they were easier to fry and easier to flavor.

After grandma and mother prepared the garlic and potatoes, Xu Congyi kept one-third of the potatoes and cut them into pieces for steaming, and asked grandma and mother to cut the rest into potato strips. While waiting for the potatoes to be steamed, Xu Congyi first marinated the meat. He added salt, green onions, ginger, a little white wine and some water to the chicken legs and wings, and also added a lot of garlic and black pepper, and added some water, so that the marinated meat would be more juicy. The same ingredients were used in the chicken breast puree, but Xu Congyi did not add green onions, ginger and garlic, otherwise it would be easy to burn when mixed with the chicken puree.

During the process of marinating the meat, Xu Congyi always felt that she had forgotten something. Later, she remembered that she had forgotten to make the chicken thighs in the hamburger. She quickly went into the space and bought 14 chicken thighs. She planned to eat two per person, after all, there were fried chicken and French fries. Xu Congyi did not use minced garlic and black pepper for the chicken thighs in the hamburger. These chicken thighs are tender and easy to marinate. She planned to prepare two pieces for each family member, which will be a hearty dinner with the fried chicken and French fries that are about to come out of the oven. For the chicken thighs in the hamburger, Xu Congyi used a simpler marinating method, seasoning only with salt, chili powder and a small amount of white wine, striving to make the chicken thighs in the hamburger both highlight their original flavor and not cover up the taste of other ingredients.

The potatoes were finally steamed and soft, and Xu Congyi carefully took them out and placed them on a large porcelain plate to cool, so as to prevent the heat from continuing to evaporate and affect the subsequent operations. When the potatoes were slightly cool and not hot, she used a wooden spoon to mash them into fine and soft mashed potatoes. The golden mashed potatoes exuded an attractive luster, and then she mixed the mashed potatoes with the mashed chicken breast when she fried them in the evening.

After a simple lunch at noon, Xu Congyi went to the backyard to look at the pit he had dug. There was already a fire burning in it. Old man Xu had added plenty of charcoal into the pit. The flames were jumping and the heat was accumulating rapidly. It seemed that the yellow mud could be burned dry soon.

After dinner, Xu Congyi was thinking about making hamburger buns, so she took a short nap and went to the kitchen. Although fourteen hamburger buns were not many, the chicken thighs were relatively large, so the hamburger buns were also larger. Xu Congyi had asked her grandmother to scoop the flour into a large porcelain bowl for kneading dough. Although Xu's mother didn't know how much flour was needed for the hamburger buns Xu Congyi mentioned, she followed her granddaughter's suggestion, that is, to prepare the amount of flour for two steamed buns per person, and accurately grasped the amount of flour.

There was no dry yeast in this era, so Xu Congyi used the yeast at home. She mixed yeast, high-gluten flour, water, salt, sugar and homemade butter together. She did not knead the dough first, but covered the dough with a basin and waited for the dough to absorb water. After fifteen minutes, she moved the basin away, and the dough was warm and elastic. She carefully moved the dough to the chopping board, and used both hands to knead the dough vigorously and evenly. At this time, the dough became smooth easily. After that, it was the same as the steps of making bread in modern times, adding an appropriate amount of butter while kneading the dough. Because the dough was a bit large, Xu Congyi did not want to wake up her father who was resting, so she kneaded it for a long time by herself before it was barely in place.
