Chapter 16 New Kitchen Utensils
"Da Lang, what do you want so much wine for?"
Wang Qun couldn't figure out why Zhen Qian wanted to do one or two hundred buckets of wine, and if he wanted to say that he brewed it himself, he should also buy some rice and koji back, how could there be such a thing as buying wine directly. But if it is said that Zhen Qian is hungry for wine, it is unreasonable, because Zhen Qian wants the lowest price of turbid wine, although the quantity is a little more, but it does not cost much.
Wang Qun could think that Zhen Qian didn't want to, but he couldn't wait such a long time, from the beginning of brewing to the sale, even the worst turbid wine would take thirty or forty days, which was enough time for Zhen Qian to make a lot of money.
Brewing your own wine is a matter of the future, how can you earn the first pot of gold in the shortest time, the way to borrow chickens to lay eggs is good, although you have to lose some, but there is a lot of time, of course, there is another reason, that is, you can't find a place to brew wine, you can't tell the Zhen family that you want to brew a bar!
"Keep this secret first, wait for Uncle Wang to help me build some things", Zhen Qian smiled and handed a piece of paper drawn in advance to Wang Qun: "Uncle Wang, these things will be created as soon as possible, I will be of great use!" ”
Zhen Qian just asked Wang Qun to create a batch of tableware yesterday, and now he wants to create some strange things, Wang Qun looked at the cylindrical things on the paper, and he didn't know what Zhen Qian thought in his heart.
"What is this?" Wang Qun still couldn't help but say the doubts in his heart.
"Don't say! Uncle Wang can build it", although I believe that Wang Qun will not leak secrets, but the process of building will inevitably make people suspicious, if even the person who built it does not know what it is, the secret will naturally not be easily leaked.
Wang Qun knew that the reader had many eyes, and Zhen Qian was his own little master, so he didn't snoop into the secrets, so he nodded and agreed, but he was curious in his heart, what did Zhen Qian let himself do with these things, everyone had a little curiosity, and Wang Qun was not exempt.
In the next two days, Zhen Qian did not leave his yard, occasionally Zhen Qian could be found lying on the window pondering, and occasionally he was seen holding a brush at the desk and writing something on the paper, until after Zhen Qian woke up from amnesia, many strange actions gradually became strange.
"Lang Jun, the criminal butler is snooping at the door again!"
Xiaozhu pouted and muttered, in the past two days, the figure of the criminal butler has always appeared at the gate of the courtyard several times, and he wanted to sneak into the courtyard, but was stopped at the door by Wang Peng.
"Leave him alone!"
Zhen Qian said as he drew something on the paper, Xiaozhu secretly glanced at it a few times, and found that he didn't even know any of the things on it.
"Lang Jun, what are you writing?"
Xiaozhu grinded ink for Zhen Qian in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "What is on this paper, it looks weird, like a charm drawn by a Taoist priest!" ”
Zhen Qian threw away the goose feather tube in his hand, and forced himself to use the brush in the past two days, but found that the brush in his hand did not obey the call at all, and the words written were not as good as the children in the private school, so he had an idea to find a few goose feathers to make a goose quill, and he was worried that what he wrote would not be acceptable to the two little girls, so he decided to write the plan in his mind in English, and the dense letters on the paper were indeed very similar to the charms used by Taoist priests to pretend to be ghosts.
Zhen Qian said nonsense: "It's nothing, there are always some strange things in my mind, I don't know, just record it first!" ”
The two little Nizi have not been suspicious of their strange behavior, such as Zhen Qian's first-hand cooking, which made the two little Nizi puzzled, but Zhen Qian didn't know where the kitchen door was opened, and suddenly the good dishes were cooked, if the two little Nizi didn't doubt it, it was a problem.
"Lang Jun, this is what you said you saw in your dream?"
In order to be able to justify himself, Zhen Qian had to say that his amnesia was an out-of-body soul, anyway, it was like the legendary ascension, fortunately, people in this era believe in superstition, and also think that Zhen Qian's soul has entered another world, this statement is not wrong!
The more Shen Qian said, coupled with his usual strange behavior, outsiders also believed a little, and privately thought that Zhen Qian's amnesia was caused by an out-of-body wandering, and he selectively forgot why Zhen Qian forgot a small loophole in many things after his amnesia.
The two little girls were a little skeptical, but their brains were too small to understand the strange things that happened to Zhen Qian.
"Isn't that a bit mysterious?" Zhen Qian secretly laughed in his heart.
Xiaozhu asked at the bottom: "Lang Jun, can you tell me, what is the purpose of the pattern on this?" ”
"This is a kind of recorded text", Zhen Qian did not choose to continue to deceive Xiaozhu, and there is no need for this, in his opinion, Xiaozhu and Xiaomei need to master this recording method in the future, it is impossible for them to do everything alone, and it is impossible if there are few caring people around.
"This is also the text, is it the same as the script of those Hu people?" Xiaozhu knows a little, and has also seen the problem of Hu people's writing.
"Almost!" Zhen Qian writes in English, even early Latin rarely appears in the Tang Dynasty, and English has not yet been born from Latin at this time? Naturally, you don't have to worry about being cracked, but it's a very good means of secrecy.
At this time, Xiaomei walked in from outside the house and hurriedly said, "Lang Jun, the kitchenware you asked Uncle Wang to make has been delivered, and now it is being placed in the kitchen, do you want to take a look?" ”
Zhen Qian happily dropped the goose feather tube in his hand, stood up from the bed, tidied up his clothes and said, "Go!" Check it out in the kitchen! With a little excitement and excitement in his words, his dream of becoming a rich man in the Tang Dynasty finally took the first step.
In the kitchen, Wang Qun was receiving the kitchen utensils from the blacksmith shop, looking at the strange look of a bunch of things, Wang Qun's face was full of expressions, especially when asked what these things were used for, Wang Qun felt that his old face was a little feverish!
"Da Lang is here!"
Wang Qun fiddled with this blunt knife in his hand, and he didn't know what Zhen Qian was thinking in his heart, there were as many as seven or eight kinds of strange-shaped knives alone, from large to small, from sharp to blunt, and there were some basins with many small eyes pierced at the bottom, God knows what these things can do?
"Uncle Wang, things are built so quickly, it's so fast!"
There are a lot of kitchen utensils, although Zhen Qian has reduced a lot, and the kitchenware that is not very useful is also directly discarded, plus there are some kitchenware in the kitchen in the courtyard that can be used, in Zhen Qian's opinion, it is already the most simplified kitchen utensils in later generations.
Wang Qun said: "The iron products used in Zhen's mansion are all made in this blacksmith shop, I heard that it was something that Da Lang wanted, so he rushed out overnight, Da Lang saw if it was suitable?" ”
Zhen Qian took a shovel, the wooden handle, the weight is appropriate in his hand, and the center of gravity is not bad, and it feels a little heavy when he swings it, but it is still within the range of bearing. The whole shovel is made of a complete iron bar, and the details have been carefully polished. I'm satisfied! ”
The two little girls were curiously fiddling with the new kitchen utensils, not knowing how Zhen Qian was going to use these kitchen utensils, "Da Lang, can you tell me what these kitchen utensils are for?" ”
"This ......", in fact, it is very difficult for Zhen Qian to explain, after all, he is not a chef, so he said: "Why don't we use these kitchenware to cook a hearty dish today, the usefulness of these kitchenware will naturally be clear." Uncle Wang, you invite Wang Sheng to come over, doesn't he want to learn cooking? ”
Wang Qun was also very curious about why Zhen Qian suddenly knew how to cook, especially Zhen Qian's skills were not bad, the dishes he cooked were different from what he had seen before, if it was said that he had learned it before, but such a skill was stolen from there, which was obviously inexplicable.
Wang Qun hid his doubts in his heart and called Wang Sheng and his wife, although Zhen Qian often went to the kitchen to cook some novel dishes these days, but after all, Zhen Qian could not prepare food for the entire courtyard, and the usual food was also provided by Wang Sheng and his wife, if Wang Sheng learned Zhen Qian's craft, the people in the courtyard would be blessed in the future.
"Help me with these ingredients!"
Zhen Qian quickly thought of a few dishes in his mind, he has always firmly believed that the laborer governs the person, the laborer governs the person, if you want to go further, you must let all the people around you mobilize, every time after cooking a new type of dish, Zhen Qian will always let the two little Nizi record the whole process of cooking, and then let the two little Nizi slowly explore the experiment.
"Lang Jun, are you going to make steamed duck?" Xiaomei handled a fat duck in her hand.
"It is a roast duck, roasted with a fire, the duck must not destroy the appearance, but also can not be disemboweled, when choosing the duck, pay attention not to be too fat and too thin, when roasting, you should pour some hot soup into the duck's belly, the roasted wood is also very particular, the selection of jujube wood, pear wood and other fruit trees as fuel, so that the roasted duck will have a fresh fragrance of fruit wood!"
Xiaomei was amazed: "There is so much knowledge in this!" ”
"Of course, three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the industry, every craft can be learned and proficient, you can get ahead, don't underestimate the profession of chef!"
Xiaozhu grinned and said: "This is what Lang Jun said, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach, am I right?" ”
Zhen Qian stretched out his hand and knocked on Xiaozhu's head, "This can only be understood but not spoken, and it won't work if you say it!" ”
Zhen Qian's Peking duck is a Peking duck, although the taste cannot be compared with the authentic Quanjude roast duck, but it is definitely unique in Datang. The roasted duck has a full appearance, a jujube red color, a crispy skin, a charred exterior and a tender inside, and a fresh aroma of fruit wood.
