Chapter 224: The First Appearance of Hot Pot
Anyway, it's better to be cheap than to be cheaper than your own people, Xun Yu and they still have to marry in the future.
I only hope that Wang Yong will work hard, and then give birth to a few, or even a dozen, or more than thirty, it doesn't matter, cultivate it, as a talent reserve for the second or even third generation, this can be regarded as a subordinate of her lineage.
Especially the descendants of Xiahoudun, who are the closest to her lineage, will also put her interests first.
This is the end of the matter, and the two days have basically been relocated. At the same time, it is necessary to recruit new palace maids, new waiters, and the purchase of kitchen materials, and at the same time there are a lot of messy things to deal with.
The "lord ......" originally planned to let them leave, but Wang Yong stood up, "Earlier, my subordinates suggested promoting high-yield crops, but in this way, will it involve those grain merchants......
"You're thinking about that too?" Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "I have already discussed this issue with Gongda, these high-yield crops are still planted on a small scale in the short term. At the same time, we will also try to plant these crops in tidal flats, sandy lands and other places that are not suitable for growing ordinary food, and see how the results are.
If it can really survive and the yield can be maintained in a certain amount, then it can also be promoted as a supplement to the staple food. However, there have been rumors in Wanshiwu recently, although high-yield crops are high-yielding, but if you simply eat these, there will be problems? ”
"The main thing is that there is no oil and water, and if you eat it regularly, your stomach will reflux acid. However, if you want potatoes and sweet potatoes, you can try processing them into vermicelli, or you can grind them directly, just like tapioca flour, so you're fine! Wang Yong replied.
Cornmeal nest is the most familiar to old Beijingers, and people at the bottom almost rely on this to live.
Speaking of which, the current corn varieties are still sweet corn, and they can be eaten as fruit corn, so whether they can grind noodles or not is still two words, and even if they are used to grind noodles, it feels a bit wasteful.
If you use it to cook hot pot...... It's pretty good...... The soup base is very sweet!
"Write down the detailed technology, I will take a stake, and when the time comes, there will be a part of your income!" Cao Cao announced directly, "As for your worries, I can give you an answer immediately." In fact, there is no need to worry, not to mention that these high-yield crops cannot be eaten often, as a staple food, people are still used to grains such as sorghum or corn, or rice flour. If it is processed, the cost will increase again.
Besides, the land is in the midst of the families and wealthy families, and if these beings are used to grow high-yield crops, they can still make a lot of money, at most a little less. So if you really want to promote it, in fact, the resistance is not as big as you think. ”
The only ones who really suffer are the pure landlords and rich peasants who are simply guarding dozens of acres of land and waiting for the grain harvest to make money. As for those wealthy families, which one has not bought and sold to subsidize the family?
"The subordinates obey the order, then go back and prepare!" Wang Yong nodded, Cao Cao said so, and he had nothing to worry about.
And in this way, it would be good to deepen the bond with her. When the two parties become more and more entangled, and their interests become more and more aligned, perhaps one day, the two will move towards the road of marriage. Yes, Wang Yong has not given up the strategy Cao Cao, and the goal he set at the beginning was given up like this, what a loss!
The key is that if Cao Cao marries someone else again, I don't know why, he will be a little unhappy!
Of course, he didn't need to be in charge of the meals for these two days, so Cao Cao specially allowed him a two-day vacation to take care of the house. However, after leaving the Yamen, Wang Yong still went to the chef's guild in Xu County, after all, Yang Ci also came here with the army.
"Disciple to meet the teacher!" After Wang Yong's briefing, he came to Yang Ci. Under Yang Ci's disciple, he did teach himself a lot of knowledge, especially correcting his mistakes. It can be said that if he hadn't found out that he had emotional problems, he was afraid that many things in the follow-up might not be connected.
A teacher for one day and a father for life, this is not a joke, since you know that he is coming, then you have to come and pay a visit.
"I have a heart!" Yang Ci was a little tired, in the end, he was getting old, and he was a little tired of traveling. However, there are some things that have to be said, "I heard that you have found a lot of crops again, why don't you report them to the chef's guild?" ”
"These species are all in the wild land south of Jiaozhou, and only the existence of Wanshiwu can break through all difficulties and find these crops. Earlier, there were also some disciples, but the number was too small, and it was necessary to spread it slowly, for fear that it would not only be very slow, but would even lead to the attenuation of the variety. Wang Yong replied embarrassedly.
"Well, I'm just going to say......" Yang Ci lay on the chaise longue with a tired face, "After all, you are a registered chef of the Chef Guild, and I hope that in terms of position, you can take care of the Guild more." ”
"Disciple understands!" Wang Yong nodded, the chef's guild has always hoped to replace everything in terms of ingredients. As an elder, it is not surprising that Yang Ci has such a statement.
It's a pity that he, or the wealthy families of this world, obviously still underestimate the strength of the opponent. These ingredients of his are said to be unique in this world, and as a result, Wanshiwu is estimated to not only have copied them for him, but I am afraid that other improved qualities will be made one after another.
After a pause, he immediately took out an invitation and handed it to Yang Ci: "The disciple will move in two days, and I hope the teacher will discuss!" ”
"Hmm...... Let's put it here first! Two days later, the ...... for the teacher to pass over" Yang Ci nodded.
Looking at his tired appearance, Wang Yong put the post next to him, and then said goodbye and left. The latter lay down in a rocking chair and fell asleep slowly.
Two days later, the palace was lit up, two braziers were placed in front of the door, and bamboo was placed in them. Listening to the sound of bamboo "crackling", this is a veritable firecracker.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" The porter looked at the large army in front of him and immediately shouted.
"Minister Wang Yong, welcome Your Majesty's holy coming!" Wang Yong took Xun Yu's four daughters and personally came forward to greet them.
"Aiqing is exempt!" Liu Xie got out of the carriage and came to Wang Yong, "Is it okay to follow the previous in private?" It's so polite, it's really boring......"
"This ......" Wang Yong looked behind Liu Xie, a little embarrassed. In the past, everyone could indeed play in a friendly manner, but now that everyone has different identities, in the feudal era, it was still a little more worried.
"That's it!" Liu Xie also seemed to realize that this would be the case, and did not embarrass him, "Are you ready for the dinner?" Eat hot pot, right? The kind that used to have a restaurant? ”
In the past, when I made a mutton feast, there was some mutton leftovers, and I made a Japanese hot pot at that time, which was actually closer to a messy stew. Obviously, Liu Xie thought that tonight was also that kind of thing.
"That's not the case, tonight the minister specially ordered some boilers, so that it will be more interesting to eat." Wang Yong said with a smile.
"Well, I'll be looking forward to it!" Liu Xie nodded, and then under the leadership of Xun Yu, he went to the banquet hall.
Not long after entering, the porter shouted again: "Cao Sikong has arrived!" ”
"Subordinates greet the lord!" Wang Yong took the three daughters and stepped forward directly to greet him, with a more deferential attitude than Liu Xie.
"I have a heart!" Cao Cao got out of the carriage, "I'm very interested in tonight's hot pot, and I'm disappointed!" ”
"I hope to make the lord happy, the lord kilometers, please!" Wang Yong took a sideways position, and then Guo Jia led Cao Cao to the dinner scene. As for Wang Yong, there are still people, he needs to wait in person.
"Elder of the Chef Guild, Yang Ci!" The porter shouted, but it was Yang Ci and Yang Xiu, who had already come here.
"Disciple to meet the teacher!" Wang Yong stepped forward to salute.
"Tonight is your housewarming day, and there is no need for such a lot of courtesy. The teacher brought you some small gifts as a housewarming gift, I hope you don't dislike it. Yang Ci smiled and beckoned to the back, and the attendant stepped forward and handed over a box.
As the box opened, a set of kitchen utensils appeared in Wang Yong's line of sight. This is a kitchenware with a special pattern, which looks the same as his long knife, and it is not difficult to guess that this should be a kitchenware made of meteoric iron.
Seeing this set of kitchenware, let alone Wang Yong, even Yang Xiu next to him showed envious eyes at this moment.
"A good chef with good utensils. These kitchenware are specially processed to be sharp, durable, and cut without odor and rust. Senior chefs and above, especially those who plan to become special chefs, will find a way to get a set, but not everyone has the opportunity to get it. Yang Ci pushed the box in front of Wang Yong.
"This ...... The disciple deserves it...... "Wang Yong is indeed a little moved, this is a gift, a little too big."
"Haha, you're entitled to have it! If you really deserve it, then one day, you can use it and become a special chef, and it will not be a disgrace! Yang Ci said slowly.
This set of kitchenware is a gift prepared by the courtiers who came from Guanzhong, and the purpose is of course to win over Wang Yong. In their opinion, a chef from a poor family may not be able to get such a set of kitchen utensils in his life. When I receive this set of kitchenware, I am afraid that my heart will be shocked, and at the same time, I will be grateful to them, so that it will be convenient for them to calculate the next step.
After all, since they came from Guanzhong, they didn't want to be just an ornament in the court. Or actually become Cao Cao's subordinate. Of course, there are also a small number of people who hope that Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty can really gain power, and then on this basis, Zhongxing Han.
"The disciple will definitely not disappoint the teacher!" Wang Yong hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it, "Please also invite the teacher to follow me to the banquet site!" ”
"Good, good!" Yang Ci nodded, and then followed Wang Yong to the banquet site.
Different from the traditional split meal system, this dinner was for 10 people, and more than 30 round tables were placed. Everyone gathered around this round table, curious about what the so-called hot pot was.
Yang Ci was brought directly to the host's seat, along with Wang Yong's four female dependents, Cao Cao, Liu Xie, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song.
In the final analysis, it is the emperor and the three dukes, as well as the Wang Yong family as the master, and finally his teacher. Yang Ci had already retired from the imperial kitchen, but he didn't expect that he was still qualified to sit on the chief.
"Yang Ci has accepted a good apprentice...... Lu Zhi looked at Yang Ci with interest, before he retired, he was just an imperial chef, and he was not qualified to sit on an equal footing with them, but now he was blessed by Wang Yong.
"It is indeed a blessing for Wang Yong to let His Majesty come to cheer him on!" Huangfu Song also nodded, the relationship between Wang Yong and Liu Xie, after going to Zhencheng, also inquired, but I didn't expect His Majesty to have such an experience before registration.
As soon as the words were spoken, there were waiters one after another, bringing up special stoves one after another. Wen Ming, as the supervisor and coordinator of the banquet, constantly urged these waiters to act quickly.
"This is hot pot? How to eat? Cao Cao looked at the stove in front of him and couldn't help but look at Wang Yong.
"Don't be impatient, the hot pot hasn't put charcoal in yet!" Wang Yong replied with a smile.
At this time, another group of waiters took out the charcoal in bags, and then came to the table one after another, put it into the chimney-like thing in the middle of the consequence, and then lit the fire.
The third group of waiters came out, brought kettles, and poured clear soup into the part next to the chimney. At this point, the true face of the hot pot has almost been shown in front of everyone.
"I see, there is a special place at the bottom for soot, and this chimney is used for charcoal...... Then conduct the heat to the outside and boil the water outside......" Yang Xiu muttered in a low voice.
"Hot pot is like that, by opening and closing the lid on the chimney, the heat is adjusted. At the same time, put the ingredients that need to be cooked into the hot pot and blanch them, and then take them out and eat them directly, this is the hot pot! Wang Yong said slowly.
"Isn't this way of eating too simple?" When Lu Zhi heard this, he was a little unimpressed, if it was so simple, even if he didn't have any cooking experience, he could make it and eat it directly.
"That's right, because it's simple, so it's easy to reach thousands of households. In the middle of winter, the people gather together, eating the freshly scalded food, and the family is happy, isn't it beautiful? Wang Yong said with a smile.
"I see, that's the way it is!" Lu Zhi nodded, because it is easy, so all the people can benefit, in this regard, the appearance of this hot pot is also quite meaningful.
"So, serve!" Wang Yong nodded, then stood up and shouted.
The fourth batch, or rather, a group of waiters came out, and then the second batch, and then the third batch, and the dishes were served out one after another. At first it was lamb, then pork, then chicken and duck, and then various side dishes.
At the same time, soy sauce dishes were also served out one after another, and various ingredients were also served in rice bowls.
"Everyone, you're welcome, whatever you want to eat, do it yourself!" Wang Yong solemnly announced, "The dinner party begins!" ”
To eat hot pot, start by putting ginger slices, green onions, and grease, and then start putting other ingredients. The freedom to eat and put whatever you want is very high. It can be said that at the hot pot table, there is no status here, there is no professional nobility, everyone is a chef and a diner!
"It's good to do this once in a while!" Lu Zhi nodded, but still motioned for Liu Xie to put down his chopsticks first. As courtiers, the king doesn't put down chopsticks, and they don't dare to put down chopsticks when they say anything.
"Well, I'll do it first!" Seeing this, Liu Xie was not polite, picked up a piece of mutton and put it in the pot.
Seeing that Liu Xie had already moved his chopsticks, Cao Cao and others put down their chopsticks one after another, and after a while, the hot pot was already full of ingredients. And the mix of flavors is unimaginable.
"I can't imagine what this hot pot tastes like at all......" Cao Ren here, looking at the hot pot full of ingredients in front of him, complained.
"The question is......" Dian Wei was a little embarrassed, "How much does it take to cook such a small pot to fill your stomach?" ”
"Hehe......" The other people at the same table suddenly showed embarrassed expressions, just Dian Wei's appetite, I'm afraid this table is not enough!
