Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 106 Jiannan Burning Spring (recommended for collection)

Waiting is definitely a very painful thing.

For example, Cheng Chumo couldn't take it anymore. After waiting for a long time, he couldn't care less about Zhang Yi's persuasion, so he lifted the lid of the pot with his big hand, and then stuck his chopsticks in.

A piece weighed two catties, and he fished out the hot beef immediately.

"Don't eat it yet, there is the last process!" I really couldn't see this guy's appearance of never seeing meat, and seeing that the beef was almost ready, Zhang Yi helped to scoop up all the beef.

Firstly, it has been cooked before, so there are all cooked meats in the country, and secondly, it has been in the marinated pot for a while, although in Zhang Yi's opinion, it would be better if it is boring for another two or three hours, but since Cheng Chumo can't wait , then he will naturally stop insisting.

For Zhang Yi, anyway, this meat is eaten by Cheng Chumo and his family. What's the matter with marinated beef, it is better than boiled beef, right?As for himself, he still thought it would be better to bring some raw beef to cook again when he returned home. Of course, if the Cheng family still had cows that died of illness or freezing, he would not mind helping to sell the stolen goods.

This stewed beef has a particular point. If you want the meat to be dry, easy to preserve, and chewy to eat, you need to run it in the oil pan.There is a knock on this process. First, the oil used must be vegetable oil, and then after the oil is put into the pan, it must be heated with a high fire until thick smoke is emitted, and then changed to a low fire.

At this time, the temperature of the oil is much lower, and the beef in the pan will not become burnt due to the high temperature.

The fat cook was drooling along with Cheng Chumo, smelling the strong fragrance, 'Crack! With a bang, without paying attention, Cheng Chumo's slap landed on the forehead.

I only heard Cheng Chu scolded silently: "Just eat it, look how your saliva is drooling? You don't use your brain when you're fat like a bear, learn his unique skill, and I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in the future." eat?"

The fat cook just patted his head, then burst out laughing, and gave Cheng Chumo a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Young master is really clever, why didn't I think of it?"

Seeing the fat cook's eyes focused on every movement in his hand, even scratching his ass, Zhang Yi felt that this family was a little abnormal.

Who has ever seen the master and servant talk like this?If this kind of cook was placed in Zhang's house, the old lady would probably let Lao Zhong hang him from a tree and beat him.

But think about it. I heard that all the servants of the Cheng family were from the army, so because of the cook and Cheng Chumo who didn't know about it and dared to make a fuss about the stewed beef, Zhang Yi reckoned that this guy must be not simple.At least it should be the fire leader who has cooked for Cheng Yaojin for many years, otherwise, the Duke's Mansion would not be able to have such a guy as the chef.

The oil in the pot immediately dropped a lot of temperature as a few pieces of wood exited the firepit. Zhang Yi immediately put the braised beef that had been drained from the nearby Shauki into it one by one. Oil the surface of the pan.As the pieces of meat entered the oil pan, there was a series of harsh sizzling sounds, accompanied by billowing water vapor.

"Be careful, this oil must be put in a little more, and the temperature should not be too hot. This process is to remove most of the water in the meat, so the time is a bit long." Zhang Yi turned the meat with a spatula, While explaining to the fat cook: "Look, if the fire is too high, the temperature of the oil will be high, and the meat will be fried before the moisture in the meat comes out. But if the fire is too low, the temperature will not be enough, and the frying time will be too long. This beef will lose the taste that the beef should have. Therefore, the temperature of the oil must be moderate, and you will be familiar with it after cooking it a few times!"

The method must be taught, even if it is to make Cheng Chumo less come to the house for a few meals in the future, Zhang Yi thinks it is very worthwhile.It's not that he is reluctant to eat a little bit, but that eating at the same table with this guy is no different from eating with pigs.Often you only pick up a chopstick, and the rest of the food is in other people's bowls. How can people eat it?
After only a few pieces of meat, the two brothers didn't plan to stay in the kitchen anymore. Seeing that the fat cook wanted to try his hand, Zhang Yi immediately handed over the right to eat beef, and then came under the leadership of Cheng Chumo. A house ready to taste delicious.

The house is very secluded, it is more like a wine cellar than a house, as soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a strong aroma of wine, refreshing your spirits!
"Mozi, is this your wine cellar?" Zhang Yi asked Cheng Chumo, looking at the dozen or so big vats with seals in the room.

Cheng Chumo didn't immediately reply to Zhang Yi's words. He first took a bite of the beef in his hand, chewed it vigorously a few times, and swallowed it. After biting again, he said inarticulately: "This is not wine. Cellar, how can the things in it be worthy of your craftsmanship?"

While talking, I saw him pick up a wine jar, use the sea bowl he brought from the kitchen just now, take a sip of the water in his mouth, and then spray it on the seal on it!
"puff!"

A thin spray of water sprayed out from his big mouth, and the seal was sprayed right by the sprayed water spray in an instant.

"This is my father's treasure, Jiannan Shaochun! It's so precious!" Cheng Chumo looked at Zhang Yi proudly, and explained: "Don't look at the wine in this room, in fact, the real good wine is just that A few jars, after you drink it, you will definitely not want to touch other wines in the future!"

Zhang Yi didn't believe Cheng Chumo's words. Of course, he had heard of Jiannan Shaochun. In later generations, the famous advertisement "Tang Dynasty court wine, Shengshi Jiannanchun" was talking about this Dongzhong wine.However, Jiannanchun at that time was already a high-alcohol wine with a degree of more than 60 degrees, which was obviously the result of countless generations of improvements.And the current Tang wine, Zhang Yi, can't believe that it can reach such a high purity.

When the seal on the wine tank became wet, Cheng Chumo carefully lifted the seal with his hands, and then put it aside.It can be seen that he has definitely done this kind of thing, and his proficiency is definitely the result of years of continuous practice.

The wine tank was opened, and indeed a particularly mellow aroma of wine came out.

"Lizi, you are blessed. This bottle of wine was given to my father by His Majesty back then, and I have been reluctant to drink it until now!" Cheng Chumo said after pouring a full bowl of wine into the bowl, "It's just a little less Son, and I don’t dare to drink too much, I have to put the seal on later, it will be miserable if my father finds out!”
