Chapter 12: Amazing, Amazing
For Cao Cao's promise, Wang Yong ...... In fact, I am still a little interested, for a man like him, born in another world, conquering a noble and beautiful woman is both a challenge and an instinct. The key is to continue to open a store like this, in this era of war and chaos.
"The status of the chef in this world is much higher than that of the chef in the feudal era of the original time and space. It also means that my challenge wasn't fruitless from the start! Wang Yong silently cheered himself up.
This meal, Cao Cao and others ate very happily, four pots of pork belly chicken, and even the side dishes were all eaten by several people. The last bit of soup was used to soak in rice and eat, and the last one was eaten with a round stomach and a happy expression.
"I feel like I'm going to be invincible!" Cao Ren patted his little belly, acting like a tomboy.
"Flower, pay a little attention to the image, this is not home." Seeing this, Cao Cao reprimanded in a low voice.
"What does it matter? It's all your own here! Cao Ren disagreed. Well, Wang Yong felt that his existence was once again ignored by the gorgeous beauty.
A group of warblers and warblers got up and left with a smile, and Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian, the three only green leaves, also followed silently, and seemed to have become accustomed to this mode of getting along. Only Dian Wei glanced back at Wang Yong, and that was all.
"Clean up!" Wang Yong shook his head, he didn't have such an idea of conquering anyone with just one meal.
About half an hour later, a few soldiers came over, paid for the meal promised by Cao Cao, and sent 12 sacks of sack, each of which was a half-stone suit, one stone was about 60 kilograms, and one sack was 30 kilograms of grain.
It's a pity that it's not corn, but black beans for horses, and wheat for relatively few people. Wang Yong took a closer look, and the quality of the black beans was not much different from that of later generations, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, as far as he knew, the early black beans really couldn't be eaten. As for wheat, it has been eaten directly after being hulled these years, at least so far.
"It's really a tyrannical thing...... "The wheat was actually directly used to cook and eat, Wang Yong couldn't bear it. Then I remembered that it seemed that the existence of steamed buns seemed to have appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the book "Interpretation of Names" written by Liu Xi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are words such as "steamed cakes, soup cakes, scorpion cakes, pith cakes, golden cakes, and rope cakes".
"But it's so strange!" Wang Yong muttered in a low voice, "Obviously, it is the era of liking food, and the development process of civilization is no different from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, why don't they seem to have heard of the feeling of pasta?" ”
For this world that is different from the original time and space, Wang Yong felt strange for the first time, and always felt that something was wrong. Immediately, he suppressed this thought, the strangeness of this world, the impact on him, at most, may be something in his original memory, and it is estimated that he will not be used.
"Hmm...... Strength is up again? Wang Yong picked up the sackcloth bag, thinking that he was going to use both hands, but he picked up a bag with one hand, and the key was slightly lighter. In the past month, every day or two, I feel that my physical fitness has improved a little, and at first I thought it was an illusion, but now it seems to be true.
"I don't know what level my final level will reach, maybe I won't be able to mix in the chef world in the future, so I can change my career to become a general." Wang Yong laughed at himself. It is impossible to be a military general, to be a military general, and it is fundamentally not in line with modern people who have lived in a comfortable and peaceful environment for a long time.
He put the sack of burlap into the warehouse, opened a bag of wheat, measured out a bucket, and set it aside. Then I rummaged in the warehouse for a long time, and found a large and a small stone mill, which seemed to be bought by the previous owner's interest, but it had been in the warehouse for a long time.
"Can it still be used?" Wang Yong picked up the two stone mills respectively, put them in the patio, scooped out the water in the water tank for cleaning, and the two dusty stone mills gradually returned to their former appearance under his cleaning.
"It still works!" Wang Yong was pleasantly surprised, in this way, there is no need to buy another one. It's not very expensive, but in the spirit of 'saving a little bit and counting a little', you can make do with it!
Put it in the patio to dry, and the sun will dry almost in an hour. Nothing is good in a dry year, the only good thing is not to be afraid of sudden rain in the sky when you are drying things.
"Huh...... It's going to work very fast......" Wang Yong shook his head, now these days, the well is almost out of water. In a month or two, he would have to run out of the city, on the dry riverbed, to fetch water.
It didn't take much effort to pour the measured wheat into a stone mill until it was ground into flour. He was more worried about whether he would be able to tear the handle off when he used too much force.
"I thought it was easy to ......" Looking at the powder mixed with wheat husk and wheat, Wang Yong knew that many things that seemed simple before crossing were actually not simple, for example, the time he spent grinding a bucket of wheat, others would take at least an hour, or even longer, and if you want more delicate wheat flour, you have to pay more labor.
This is not the end, take out a sieve, preferably a very dense kind, put the swept wheat flour mixture on it, and sift it slowly to sift out the snow-white and crystalline wheat flour, which seems to him to be more troublesome than turning a stone mill.
"It's just that......" Looking at the shrunken flour in the box, Wang Yong was a little helpless, there was this time, and the corn and rice were boiled twice. It is said that the big steamed buns with white flowers are something that only rich people eat, and maybe it's true. Just because this is just the step of grinding flour, how much time he wasted.
"But then, it's easy!" Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief in the end and began to add water and noodles.
In order to avoid getting his hands dirty, he added a little bit of oil, peanut oil is very magical in this world, but the price is not cheap, it is best to save it, and now is not enough time for him to squander it at will.
Adding yeast, there were two packets of natural yeast powder with him, and then there were also natural yeast cultivated independently, but it was not to the extent that it could be used out, after all, in the first ten days, his life was indeed tight.
"Another hour to wait...... Take the opportunity to prepare something else! Seeing the dough that was fermenting, Wang Yong shrugged his shoulders and began to get busy.
Originally, I was only going to make some steamed buns, but I couldn't stand it without oil and water, so I simply went out and exchanged half a catty of corn for a catty of wild boar meat. The pickling process is also indispensable, it also takes a lot of time, and at the end add a little greens, and when this is done, the dough has already risen.
"It's good, the yeast didn't put too much!" Wang Yong sniffed carefully, if there is too much yeast, the fermented taste will be very strong, some people like this taste very much, but I have to say that this smell will destroy the flavor of bread or steamed bread.
Speaking of which, in the West, steamed bread is even in a certain island country, steamed bread is also called steamed bread.
Kneading, rubbing flat with a twisting pin, and stretching to form a stick-like strip, the traditional way is to grab pieces of dough by hand, and of course it can also be divided into pieces with a kitchen knife. To form a dough, the key is to need a steaming drawer.
There was no such thing as a steamer in this world, but at the request of Wang Yong, he specially asked someone to make two large steaming drawers and four small steaming drawers, which were not used at the time, which did not mean that they could not be used in the future, and the opportunity was always left to those who were prepared.
"I didn't expect you to play your role so quickly!" Looking at the steaming drawer in front of him, Wang Yong said proudly. I thought I would buy wheat and come back next month at the latest, but I didn't expect it to be so much earlier.
The pot is ready-made, water is added, and the dough, as well as the dough with the meat filling, is placed in the large steaming drawer. He had steamed steamed buns before, but he didn't put them too close, and the yeast would play a further role in the process of steaming, and the dough the size of a baby would instantly expand to the size of a human fist, or even larger.
"I still remember the first steamed steamed buns, and as a result, ten steamed buns opened the rice cooker...... Wang Yong recalled the scene when he steamed steamed buns for the first time, and couldn't help but smile.
The key is the heat, even if it is a biogas stove, the control of the heat is very important. When he came into the world, it took him three days to get used to the fire, also thanks to the biogas stove, not the firewood, which would otherwise take longer.
"Sniff ......" Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Wang Yong, "Shopkeeper, I suspect that you are making delicious food behind my back!" ”
"I ^& %^" Wang Yong was taken aback and came back to his senses, but it was Xun Yu lying on the side of the stove, greedily sniffing the fragrance emanating from the steamer.
"I'm closed, huh?" Wang Yong looked out the door, but found that after deducting Xun Yu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and Le Jin also came over, and finally hidden behind them was the little girl named Dian Wei.
"Yike...... That ......" Le Jin, who had a more lively personality, walked up, "It's not just a matter of going down, we just walked around here, and we didn't plan to eat, but Xun Sima sniffed the smell violently and rushed into the store." ”
"It's my dinner!" Wang Yong guarded the steamer behind his back and watched a few illegal intruders carefully.
"We pay for it!" Xun Yu immediately said, "The price will definitely satisfy you!" ”
"Is it really good that your logistics director is such a loser?" Wang Yong pointed to Xun Yu, who was incarnated as a foodie, saying that this guy was originally a big foodie, right? !
"Anyway, she doesn't spend the money in the treasury, and of course we can't control her personal behavior." Cao Ren also looked at Xun Yu with a little headache, "Speaking of Yanyan, you also have an identity, so it's not good to ignore your image like this?" ”
"Naa!" Xun Yu didn't care at all, but looked directly at Wang Yong, "Can you eat it?" ”
"The amount I did this time is not much, at most I will give you a ......" Wang Yong scratched his head, in fact, the amount is still quite a lot, and the dough sent out is a bit big, otherwise he doesn't have to use a large steaming drawer, and the small steaming drawer will be full if he steam four of them. After making sure that they were steamed, I took out five steamed buns with bamboo tongs, put them in a saucer, and served them out.
Looking at these five snow-white steamed buns, the five of them suddenly lit up, and they had never seen such white food.
"Don't you bring a pair of chopsticks?" Xiahoudun shouted at Wang Yong.
"Wouldn't it be nice to simply wash your hands and hold it with your hands? This thing can be grabbed and eaten while working. Wang Yong returned to the back kitchen and brought out a basin of water. Of course, taking into account her eating habits, she took out five pairs of chopsticks.
Xun Yu didn't talk nonsense, after simply cleaning his hands, wiped it with a handkerchief he carried, and picked up one. Almost instantly, his eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling light: "This thing, it's amazing!" ”
Then he took a bite, and suddenly the light was shining, and he quickly eliminated the steamed bun while shouting "unbelievable, unbelievable". After eating one, he shamelessly stretched out his hand of sin to the second one......
But I didn't want to catch it, it turned out that almost instantly, the steamed buns had already been coaxed by the four of them and tasted them separately.
