Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

As it was getting closer to noon, fewer and fewer people came.

Sang Tian also started to cook lunch with the tribesmen.

The first dish is braised beef in soy sauce.

Braised beef in soy sauce is made by marinating and stewing. The beef is tender, rich in flavor and full of soy sauce.

Yu had already cut the beef into large chunks, choosing beef shank for its firmness and elasticity. She then soaked it in cold water for at least two hours, changing the water two or three times to remove any blood.

At this time, Sang Tian prepared a large bowl, put ginger slices, scallion segments, cane sugar, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns, dried chili peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic into the bowl, stirred them evenly, and then poured a layer of hot oil to make the sauce.

"Sizzle", the moment the hot oil is poured on, the fragrance of the spices in the basin is stimulated.

The rich aroma of aniseed wafted over the garrison.

Many people inhaled the fragrance.

……

Sang Tian took out the soaked beef, drained the water, put it into the pot, and added appropriate amount of water and ginger slices.

Bring to a boil over high heat, skim off any foam, and remove the beef. This will remove any fishy smell and make it more chewy. Rinse thoroughly with hot water, drain, and set aside.

Then, put the blanched beef into the pot, pour the prepared sauce into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, stir well, make sure the beef is completely submerged in water, and cover the pot.

Simmer for half an hour.

……

While the food was simmering, Sang Tian started making the second dish: pepper and numbing saliva.

Spicy and spicy chicken is a traditional specialty of S Province. This dish has a spicy and fragrant taste, and the chicken is tender and juicy, making it irresistible.

Sang Tian washed the chicken, put it in the pot, added appropriate amount of water and ginger slices, cooked until the chicken was cooked, then took it out and let it cool.

Then fry the peppercorns and sesame seeds separately until fragrant.

Then, cut the cooled chicken into small pieces and put them into a bowl.

Add minced ginger, garlic, pepper powder, chili powder, sesame seeds, sugar, salt, chili oil, etc. into a bowl and mix well.

Then pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with cilantro.

This dish is simple to prepare and the process is easy. Prepare the sauce while the chicken is cooking, and then pour it over the chicken after it is cooked and cooled.

……

By this time, the braised beef had finished cooking. Sang Tian opened the lid of the pot, and a puff of steam first blinded her eyes. Then came the rich aroma of meat and sauce.

Sang Tian was about to be enchanted! She couldn't bear it any longer and her saliva kept flowing.

Sang Tian resisted her cravings and fished out the beef. She placed it in a bowl, added an appropriate amount of salt and seasoning, and mixed it evenly. She then set it aside to marinate for half an hour, allowing the beef to fully absorb the salt and flavor of the sauce.

I estimate that in half an hour, the other dishes will be ready. They'll be perfect for eating together. Then, remove the meat and slice it along the grain of the beef. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top, and it's delicious!

……

But what he was about to make now was the snack that Sang Tian had been longing for.

Crispy pork with green onion!

When Sang Tian was in high school, he suffered from school bullying.

Later, her grandfather who sponsored her came and rented a house for her to live and study.

Sang Tian was reluctant to spend her monthly living expenses. She felt eating out was simply not worth it! Buying vegetables and meat and cooking them yourself was much better than eating out. You could leave a lot of food.

So Sang Tian started cooking by herself.

Lunch was long, so there was plenty of time to cook. But the afternoon was short, so in order not to delay classes, Sang Tian usually made an extra portion for lunch and heated it up in the afternoon.

Later, she was admitted to university, also in the same province, and her grandfather still funded her to rent an apartment outside the campus.

Sang Tian has been cooking for the past six years.

She's actually quite frugal with her groceries. They're mostly vegetarian, one dish per meal, mixed with rice—it's delicious! And, most importantly, they're cheap.

During festivals, she would buy some meat and make a meat dish.

This crispy pork is her most common meat dish. It's crispy and fragrant, leaving a lasting taste in your mouth! Thinking about it now brings back a flood of memories.

In this way, she became proficient in cooking over the past six years and mastered it to perfection.

As for the skills of making other dishes.

On many holidays, her grandfather would visit her at the rental house to see how her studies were going and how her living standards were.

Sang Tian didn't dare tell her grandfather that she usually ate vegetarian food. Otherwise, he would definitely be angry.

So when Grandpa came, Sang Tian would buy some meat and cook a few hard dishes for him to try. So, she learned how to cook all kinds of meat dishes and hard dishes.

He loved the crispy pork elbows that Sang Tian made the most. Every time his grandfather passed away, Sang Tian would pack him a few boxes of crispy pork with scallions.

But now, I can’t cook for him.

……

This dish carries her memories...it's different for her.

The crispy pork with scallions is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a strong scallion aroma. It can be eaten as a dish, as jerky, or as a snack.

Three-fold, no matter how you fold it, there will always be a surface.

Sang Tian washed the pork, cut it into 3 cm long and 1 cm wide strips, and put it in a bowl for later use.

It took several people 20 minutes to cut up the whole pot of meat. You can see how big the quantity was!

Then, Sang Tian added minced ginger, salt, pepper, chopped green onion, ginger and garlic to the pork strips, stirred well, and marinated for 15 minutes.

Then beat the eggs and stir until they become liquid.

Because I didn't have flour, I had to skip it. So, the meat strips this time won't be crispy.

Roll each piece of meat evenly in the egg liquid, coating it thoroughly.

Heat the pan with cold oil. When the oil reaches 6% hot, add the pork strips one by one and deep-fry until golden brown. Add the fried pork strips back into the pan and deep-fry again until crispy. Drain and set aside.

Then pour the chopped green onion, ginger and garlic into the oil pan and sauté until fragrant. Especially the amount of green onion must be sufficient.

Add the fried pork strips and stir-fry evenly, making sure each strip is coated with chopped green onion, ginger, and garlic. Add appropriate amounts of salt and pepper and stir-fry evenly.

The crispy pork with the aroma of green onions is ready.

……

When Sang Tian was making these three dishes.

Duo made a dish of four-happiness meatballs.

Put the pork filling into a bowl, add shrimp, mushrooms, chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar, minced garlic, pepper, and chicken stock, mix well, and marinate for 15 minutes.

Then divide the marinated meat filling into 4 equal parts, roll them into balls and set aside.

Place the rolled meatballs in the egg mixture and coat them evenly. Place the egg-coated meatballs in hot oil and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain and set aside.

Put the fried meatballs into the steamer and steam for about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Pour the soup from the steamed meatballs into the pot, add appropriate amount of salt, sugar and minced ginger, cook until thick, and pour it on the meatballs.

Sprinkle some garlic sprouts.

It’s so delicious!

Lan also made a pot of bamboo shoot and mushroom soup. It was fresh, smooth, and refreshing.

All dishes are ready!

The male began serving rice to everyone. Each large bowl was filled to the brim. He even filled a few extra bowls for extra servings.

The rest, of course, is used to exchange for meat!

……

Trading place with other tribes.

The aroma of Tianlang's cooking had already spread far and wide, and they were so greedy that they couldn't help themselves.

Finally, they cooked and started serving the rice!

Everyone rushed in like a 100-meter sprint, all rushing to grab food!

"50 pounds of meat! You guys scoop it out, I won't be picky!"

"Twenty pounds of meat, one pound for each dish!"

"Give our tribe twenty kilograms of vegetables!"

……

Lan and the others as well as the males behind them were busy again.
