Peerless Young Master
Chapter 79 Braised Dishes
In the kitchen, Li Xuan found an old piece of clothing he no longer wanted and used it as an apron. He tied it around his waist and cut the ingredients skillfully.
The knife in his hand seemed to have life, jumping lightly on the chopping board. Every time it landed, it was extremely precise, cutting the ingredients into uniform sizes and thicknesses.
Li Xuan's eyes were focused, and the ingredients were ready in the blink of an eye.
Next to him, there was a pot bubbling with steam. The water inside was not white, but dark brown, emitting a unique and tempting aroma.
Put the ingredients into the hot pot and soak them fully with the seasonings in the hot pot, allowing the aroma to flow into the ingredients. After doing all this, he turned around to prepare other seasonings.
After being busy for nearly a whole day, Li Xuan took the ingredients out of the hot pot, evenly spread the prepared seasonings on them, stirred them thoroughly, and then set them aside.
"What are you doing? You've been busy all day, and you can't eat this?"
After a busy day, Xiao Xuan and Bai Yi Piaoluo cleaned up the shop. After they finished, they saw Li Xuan tinkering with the ingredients in the kitchen again.
This had happened before, but it was over in just over an hour. It had never taken as long as it does now.
She also looked at the ingredients. They were the leftover offal from the duck she bought from the old man last time.
This kind of thing can just be thrown away. Can it be used to make delicious food?
After Bai Yi Piao Luo finished his work, he also came over to join in the fun.
After staying here for a while, he also knew that the seemingly ordinary cook in front of him was the most difficult person to deal with here.
It just made him feel a little strange that Li Xuan told others that Xiao Xuan and the expert in the backyard were a servant and a guard respectively.
But in his opinion, it was not the case.
How could a servant boy dare to attack the young master?
The relationship between the two is so close that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers.
Of course, what impressed him most was that Li Xuan had such superb skills, which were no worse than those of the master chefs in big restaurants.
I have gained a lot of weight during this period.
“How can it be so fast? Delicious food takes time to prepare. It will be almost done by dark.” Li Xuan clapped his hands, very satisfied with his masterpiece.
I haven't used it for a long time, and my skills are a bit rusty.
"Can these things really be eaten? I see that those restaurants only want duck meat, not the offal. Except for poor families, no one eats this stuff."
Xiao Xuan's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, even though the food was emitting a fragrance that made people swallow their saliva;
But the internal organs are dirty, fishy, unpalatable, and have a strange smell.
"This is a delicacy. Once I make it, you'll know how delicious it is. Pair it with some wine and it'll be worth a fortune."
The cooking skills in this era were still very crude, and the experience in handling things like offal and internal organs was not mature enough, which led to these things being almost all thrown away.
Only the poorest families would eat these. They would cook them into a pot of porridge and wolf them down with their eyes closed. The main purpose was to fill their stomachs, not because they really enjoyed eating.
In order to make the braised food, Li Xuan also spent a lot of effort. Some of the seasonings were not available in this era at all, and some were accidentally discovered by him in the doctor's medicine box.
In short, it took a lot of effort to make this pot of brine.
"Just soak it in water without cooking it?" Bai Yi Piaoluo was very confused. Can it be cooked without cooking it?
"It was cooked with hot water in the morning. Now we just need to make it more flavorful," Li Xuan explained.
Then several people left the kitchen and went outside.
Dinner was already prepared on the table, including duck legs, braised pork, pork and chicken, as well as cabbage, green vegetables, tofu and dried tofu.
"I'll go get Dad to come over for dinner."
Xiao Xuan went to the backyard, and the two came back soon.
Seeing Xiao Yidao, Bai Yi Luo's body suddenly became a little restrained, and his eyes began to wander. He felt like a mouse seeing a cat, wanting to escape but unable to, and was terrified from the bottom of his heart.
During this time, Xiao Xuan muttered while holding a piece of vegetable: "I eat this every day, it has no taste at all, I'm tired of it."
"It's good to have something to eat. Go outside and see how many people can eat so many delicious foods at night. I think you are just dazzled by this colorful world. Be careful that you get cheated one day and still count money for others foolishly."
Li Xuan retorted, "Really? It's good enough to have something to eat. Why do you have to force me to cook?"
Don’t you know that you can’t live in a kitchen without a range hood and air conditioning?
After hearing this, the duck legs in Li Xuan's mouth no longer tasted good.
Apart from being convenient, fast food is indeed very average in taste.
If you eat too much, you will get sick of it.
This is also why Li Xuan spent a lot of money to make braised food, just to change the taste.
"Hmph, it's obviously you who are lazy and don't want to cook for us, and yet you're still making excuses here." Xiao Xuan pouted her red lips, looking so adorable with her angry expression.
"It's delicious. There's so much meat. When I was wandering before, it was great to have something hot to eat." Bai Yi Piaoluo ate with relish.
"If it tastes good, eat more. These are all for you."
"Okay," the beautiful girl in white's eyes lit up.
Xiao Yidao coughed twice and said: "These things are indeed delicious, but it is a bit greasy to eat them often. It is nice to change the taste occasionally."
Obviously, he couldn't stand it anymore, and his mouth was almost tasteless.
Xiao Xuan looked like she had lost all hope in life, like a picky eater. Suddenly, she suddenly brightened up and became more energetic.
"Where's that baby you've been fiddling with all day? It's been so long, it should be ready to eat now, right?"
Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "It's almost done. I'll go take a look."
After a while, he came back with a plate in his hand, which was filled with prepared braised food.
“Try it!”
Li Xuan put the plate on the table.
Several people looked at this thing, and to be honest, they hesitated for a moment.
After all, in their eyes, this thing is really unpalatable.
The kind that makes you vomit as soon as you eat it.
Li Xuan didn't care what they thought. He picked one up first, put it in his mouth and started eating. It was not bad.
It is certainly incomparable to the braised food that filled the streets in the previous life. There were dozens of seasonings alone. Here, it is already amazing to have more than a dozen kinds of seasonings.
Even so, it is enough to beat most delicacies and can be called delicious.
Seeing that Li Xuan was enjoying the food and didn't look unhappy, the other three people also picked up one each.
"Is this... is this really offal? Why is it so delicious?"
"Wow, it's delicious, even better than this meat."
Xiao Xuan and Bai Yi Piaoluo were surprised. They originally thought that even if it was not unpalatable, it would definitely not be delicious. They didn't expect it to be so delicious.
Especially the unique taste, which blooms with an indescribable wonderful taste in the mouth, it is really great.
Xiao Yidao was also a little surprised. He knew that Li Xuan was skilled, but he didn't expect him to be so skilled. He could turn decay into something magical. It was simply unexpected.
“Why is it gone?”
Xiao Xuan looked at the empty plate and pouted again, saying that she had not eaten enough. Then she looked at Li Xuan with innocent eyes: "Is there any more? I want to eat more."
"There's a little more, I'll go get it."
After a while, Li Xuan brought the remaining braised food.
Xiao Xuan was very happy. She ate most of the pieces in one go. Bai Yi Piao Luo was not willing to be outdone, but he was too weak and only managed to grab two pieces.
There were still a few pieces left on the plate. Just as the two of them stretched out their chopsticks to pick them up, Li Xuan stepped in and blocked the bowl with his chopsticks.
"You've eaten enough. Eating too much of this stuff can cause stomach upset. These are all from me and Boss Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan and Bai Yi Piaoluo put away their chopsticks in disappointment.
"dong dong"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Bai Yi Piaoluo put down his chopsticks, walked to the door and opened it.
Captain Liu walked in and looked at the group of people having dinner: "Boss Li, let's have dinner. It's really untimely that I came here. I hope I didn't disturb you."
"No way."
"Give Captain Liu a set of bowls and chopsticks"
"Captain Liu, we're out of rice with toppings. If you don't mind, sit down and have some with us."
"That's so embarrassing."
After some tugging, Captain Liu sat down.
Xiao Xuan and Bai Yi Piaoluo both quietly moved their butts, wanting to stay away.
One is a bandit and the other is a thief.
Naturally, they are afraid of the officials.
"What is this?" Captain Liu looked at the braised food in the dish with some curiosity. After taking a bite, he was surprised.
After hearing Li Xuan's explanation, his expression changed and he lowered his voice: "Boss Li, there is an opportunity to make a fortune. Do you want it?"
