Chapter 119: This Meat Is Not Rotten and Matured
"It stinks!" Speaking of two, when Wang Yong pulled the three cows to the back kitchen, most of the chefs frowned. Many people can't understand why Wang Yong wants to bring such corrupt ingredients to the back kitchen.
"These three cows are the main dish of tomorrow's celebration feast!" Wang Yong didn't care about their reactions, and announced directly.
"Huh?!" At this moment, everyone's expressions were the same as Mao Jue who heard this just now, with a look of disbelief.
Can this meat, which has been rotten to this extent, still be used as a main course? This is a grudge against Cao Cao and plans to tease each other? But tease and tease, so you have to drag them all into the water!
"Chef, you're really not kidding?" Mao Jue still stepped forward to ask.
"No kidding, tomorrow's celebration banquet will use the meat of these three cows to cook!" Wang Yong said affirmatively.
"It's just that this kind of meat, if it's used to cook vegetables, I'm afraid it's the lord's ......" Mao Jue felt that the words should be made clear first.
"Speaking of which...... Wang Yong remembered something, "by the way, I forgot to prepare black peppers...... This price doesn't seem cheap! If you accidentally go over your budget, it's bad! ”
He is also not a mobile seasoning warehouse, how can he carry so many seasonings with him? Besides, his inventory was almost exhausted, and he had already planned to buy a piece of land outside the city, and then find someone to grow seasonings to directly supply his own needs in the future.
Now it seems that even if you can buy land this year, you will not be able to grow spices until next year. The key is whether the climate of Zhencheng is suitable for the growth of pepper, black pepper and cumin.
After all, in the impression, whether pepper or black pepper, it is planted in the hot areas of the south, and the effect of planting in the north is not known.
As for other spices, many of them were mainly used as drugs before, so the scope of application is not large, and it is precisely because of this that the stock is small. Nowadays, the house of all things and the chef's guild already know that these things can play the role of spices, and many people have tried to explore, and the cultivation of these spices will inevitably begin to improve.
"Why does it stink so much?" A familiar voice suddenly came from outside at this moment, but it was Cao Cao who came to the back kitchen.
Before he could react, the latter had already entered the back kitchen, and naturally saw the three-haired and stinky cow. Immediately came to Wang Yong and asked, "What's the matter with these three cows?" ”
"Back to the lord, this was found by chance in an empty warehouse when I was counting the warehouse before. The three cows were left there for at least thirty days, but the person who kept them forgot them, or could not take them out, so they kept them there. Wang Yong replied.
In fact, he prefers the latter. I'm afraid that someone got three cows and planned to sell them secretly. As a result, he was closely watched, and he couldn't take it out for a while, but after three or five days, he thought that the meat was bad and couldn't be sold, so he simply left it here.
After all, beef is not allowed to be sold publicly, and corrupt beef is even more difficult to sell, so you can only treat yourself as a loss!
"Then why is it still here?" Cao Cao was more concerned about this.
"My subordinates plan to use this beef as the main dish for tomorrow's celebration banquet!" Wang Yong replied.
"What's the bad idea?" Cao Cao didn't mean to blame, she knew very well that Wang Yong was not the kind of man who didn't know the depths. Bringing out the carrion at the key celebration banquet, isn't that looking for death?
When the haggis and sheep blood came out before, his actions were also questioned. Many people think that the haggis has a strong taste, and the key is that it is not clean, not to mention the sheep blood, which many people do not eat. As a result, it can also be made very delicious in his hands.
Not to mention the stinky roasted pig, the pork belly chicken counts as one, the follow-up braised pork counts as one, and the fried shredded pork with green peppers is also counted, and the taste is very good. Even things that were originally used as medicinal herbs can be turned into spices in his hands.
It was Cao Cao who suspected that Wang Yong should be able to cook these three obviously rotten cows deliciously...... Of course, having said that, I am still a little unconfident in my heart, so I don't want to ask a little first.
"The subordinates will say, 'This meat ...... Of course it's not the outer part, it's going to be removed. The part inside, the part where the meat is still very bright red, probably occupies about one-third of the meat volume of this cow, and the taste is very good, I don't know if the lord believes it or not? Wang Yong gestured around one of the cows.
Later, it will be treated simply, at least at least maintain a low temperature of about 1-4 degrees, otherwise it may really be completely rotten. Generally, it is taken and cooked, who will take it out and leave it for a period of time before using it?
"I can trust you, but you have to tell me what's in it!" Cao Cao thought about it and replied.
"My lord, meat is not fresh, it is the most delicious. For example, ham is to use a large fan of pork legs, spread evenly with salt, and then put it in a specific environment to let it blow and sun, and the best ham comes out; Or smoking, where the cured meat is placed on the roof and allowed to rise from the stove, and it is smoked continuously for a year until the ham is formed.
In addition to this, there is another way to enhance the flavor of the meat, and that is aging! These three cows, coincidentally, were turned into aged meat in a suitable environment! And judging by the time, it's just right! Wang Yong naturally doesn't mind popularizing science.
"What's the point?" The concept of maturation, Cao Cao has heard of it for the first time.
"The meat is taken and placed in a low-temperature and high-humidity environment, and the meat is fermented and matured. The shell must not be used, but the meat protected by this shell inside has been fermented and matured, and the tendons in the meat have been dissolved, and the taste will become softer; The beef flavor is more intense, and the key is to have a nutty aroma. Wang Yong introduced.
"Since you've said that, I can trust you! Remember, don't let me down! Cao Cao nodded.
"Lord, the main dish tomorrow night, my subordinates plan to make ......it into a steak like the previous dinner," Wang Yong asked.
"Tomorrow is a bit of a special situation, not suitable for making steak!" Cao Cao shook his head, after all, there were three enemy generals at the table, and when the time came, they would pick up the matching knives and kill them, which would ruin her celebration banquet!
"In that case, how about making a rice bowl?" Wang Yong thought for a while.
"Donburi is just beef on top of rice, right?" Cao Cao asked after a moment's thought.
"Exactly, put the fried beef on top of the rice, and soak about one-third of the rice in the gravy." Wang Yong nodded.
"It's nice too, it saves some budget!" Cao Cao thought about it and agreed directly.
"So, how about a rice bowl per table, a plate of pickles, a plate of greens, and a bowl of broth?" Wang Yong asked further.
"That's it!" Cao Cao finally nodded, the menu was a bit simple, but the budget didn't allow for such a squander. Considering the beef, the menu is actually quite good. At most, I'm a little worried about whether that guy from Dian Wei can eat enough.
"In this way, the subordinates will start the follow-up purchase now!" Wang Yong nodded, he already had a score in his heart.
"That's right!" Cao Cao then remembered that she had something to do, "I have to prepare three extra meals tomorrow, Yuan will capture three enemy generals, and let them participate in the celebration banquet together tomorrow!" ”
