Datang First Chef

Chapter 1

In the first month of the lunar calendar, Chang'an was not warm. Before the second watch, Li Sanniang got up from the couch, dressed tightly and went to the hall. There was a bitter wind blowing in the kitchen, and the whole family was in the wind.

Li Sanniang's expression remained unchanged, she only took off the "baggage" on her back. She looked at the sleeping baby and smiled faintly. She pulled the leather a few times with her right hand so that the thick leather covered the baby's head. He gathered the fabric around the neckline, and covered the layers of swaddling clothes on his body more tightly.

The hired helper got up earlier, and started to work at the first watch. Mrs. Lin came in with a bucket of stuffing that hadn't been mixed yet, and smiled at Li Sanniang: "Da Lang hasn't gotten up yet?"

Li Sanniang took the wooden bucket and said, "Still asleep." She pursed her lips and smiled, "He's good, he doesn't cry or make trouble at night, it's very worry-free for me." She put the wooden bucket by her feet first, then went to the next room I took a few cabbage.

Womb cabbage is the modern cabbage, and what Li Sanniang keeps in her room is autumn cabbage, which is better for storage.Autumn cabbage harvested after a light snowfall, find a sunny winter day after growing up, let the warm sunlight evaporate the remaining water in the cabbage, and then take it back indoors for storage.

The temperature in Chang’an in winter is very low, so it is necessary to prevent the womb from being damaged by freezing when storing it. She first spread a layer of straw on the ground, then arranged the womb neatly one by one on the straw pile, and finally spread a layer of straw on the vegetables. A layer of straw to keep warm, in this way, as long as the temperature is adjusted carefully, it can be stored in February of the next year.

Li Sanniang's family makes a living as a bakery. There is a small yard in Guangdefang next to the West Market. There is a shop in front of the yard, and they mostly sell steamed cakes and cage cakes on weekdays.

The steamed cakes are made of wheat flour and have no filling. The steamed cakes in her house are much thicker than the hawkers selling them in the streets, and they have been stored in the steamer before they are sold. They are still warm when they are taken out. In the cold winter, small vendors are willing to come to her house to buy a piece of thick steamed cake, which can be used as a hand stove to keep it warm in the bosom.

Cage cakes are different from steamed cakes. Wheat noodles are filled with stuffing. Compared with other places, her cage cakes have more fillings and taste better. Neighbors often come to her house to buy cakes. Before entering the market, walk through the gate of Guangdefang and take a few cage cakes.

She washed the cabbage with water, tore off the outermost old leaves, and then placed it on the chopping board, and took out the kitchen knife from the knife holder. thump thump.

The white and yellow vegetable leaves are cut into thin strips, which are almost as thin as the shreds that are shaved from lettuce.

The child on Li Sanniang's back opened his eyes a little, and he knew that the beauty had started chopping vegetables again when he heard the sound. He blinked and let out an "ah".

Li Sanniang said: "Da Lang is awake? I'll feed you rice soup later."

Mo Wenyuan said heartily, the rice soup can be put away, first let me see how you chop vegetables!A mechanical voice sounded in his head.

[Task: Observation of basic knife skills (0/1)]

[Reward points: 1]

He was originally just a small kitchen in a modern kitchen. After he died in an accident, he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and unlike those traversers who traveled to the ancient times to open up territories and carry super-large golden fingers with them, his golden fingers were very small, and they had to It can only be used by him doing tasks.

Mo Wenyuan closed his eyes, opened it silently, and an electronic panel appeared in front of his eyes, and the four characters of God of Cooking System flickered.

After a period of exploration, he already has a basic understanding of the God of Cooking system. The God of Cooking system is divided into two parts: the God of Cooking cultivation system and the God of Cooking auxiliary system. Once he is exposed to one of the cuisines, he will start the "basic food course", and he can enter the virtual space to learn the basic course after falling asleep.

The content of the God of Cooking assistant system is more diversified, from food storage methods, to crop planting, grafting, and sauce making. So far, he has started the "basic storage course" because he watched Li Sanniang's method of storing cabbage.

But the "basic storage course" is relatively useless. Now the only unlockable method is to store cabbage with the straw soil method. If he wants to learn more courses, he must redeem it with points. The cheapest "detailed burial method" still needs 2000 points.

Thinking of this, Mo Wenyuan sighed old-fashionedly, and said in his heart that he didn't know how long it would take to accumulate 2000 points at his current speed.

The point method is very simple and rude, either he completes the daily tasks, or he makes money, a penny, but considering that he has not even grown to three heads, making money is just a cloud.

He should just observe and study honestly.

Mo Wenyuan said "Ahhh" a few more times, Li Sanniang finally felt his determination to get off his back, and called Aunt Lin who was kneading dough outside the door.

She asked Mrs. Lin to take Mo Wenyuan out to feed rice soup.

It is said to be rice soup, but it is actually the top layer of thick porridge. The white and fat rice grains are squeezed into the pottery urn, exuding an attractive rice fragrance. During the stew, Mrs. Lin skimmed the top thick juice with a spoon, filled a bowl full, and after blowing it cold, poured spoonfuls of it into Mo Wenyuan's mouth.

Mo Wenyuan didn't regard it as today's basic sword technique, and was very sad and angry. His small mouth grew so big that he almost swallowed the spoon.

Aunt Lin laughed and said, "Da Lang is really energetic. He eats a lot and his body must be strong."

As Mo Wenyuan ate, his appetite was whetted. The slow-cooked thick porridge had a natural flavor, and the rice soup that condensed the essence of the whole bowl of porridge was even sweeter. Open, one mouthful after another.

[Task: Familiarize yourself with the cooking process of rice soup (3/3)]

[Reward points: 3]

Whether it is the utensils or the way of burning fire, the Tang Dynasty was very different from the modern ones, and Mrs. Lin did not want him to stay by the fire, so Mo Wenyuan could only watch her cook porridge for a while every day, and it took him three days to completely Find out how to control the fire.

With three points in the account, he was in a good mood, and finally no longer sad or angry.

Mo Wenyuan said: Rice soup is so delicious =v=!

.

At the fourth watch, the clock tower rang, and the curfew ended. Traffickers and pawns who were going out gathered at the gate of the city. Occasionally, there were small officials rushing to court among them.

Most of the officials live in the square near the palace, and there are only three or two kittens in Guangde Square.

Li Sanniang was sitting at the door of the shop with Mo Wenyuan in her arms. Only the baby's head was exposed, with a little felt hat on the soft hair.

The bamboo steamer stands on the table at the entrance of the store, and the stove is under the stone slab. Hay, small sticks and matches are piled up together.The flames were blazing, and the steamed cakes and cage cakes in the steamer gave off a pleasant smell of wheat.

Smoke curled up from the wind to the middle of the road, Mo Wenyuan saw a crowd of people rushing towards the door of the store, the morning peak business period is here!

People are packed together like sardines in a can, next to each other.

"San Niang, two steamed cakes."

"Sanniang, do you have any pancakes today?"

Li Sanniang said: "There are mutton, womb vegetables, pork meat with womb vegetables..." He reported five or six kinds of stuffing in one breath.

"Two pieces of womb cabbage."

"How much is pork meat?"

Mo Wenyuan was sitting in Aniang's arms, with big eyes rolling around. He hadn't been out yet, and the world he could see every day was limited to the kitchen and the scene of sitting in the shop and watching the street.

It's interesting to see people coming and going in all kinds of costumes.

The muscular butcher Hu strode towards the shop. He breathed on his hands and said, "Ma'am, five steamed mutton buns."

Mo Wenyuan yawned a little. He finally understood that steamed buns these days are steamed buns, also called long cakes, and they all have fillings.

Mrs. Lin was very neat in her activities, and after answering, she took the cloth from Hu Butcher, wrapped the steamed buns in the steamer and handed them to him. Mo Wenyuan looked at those soft steamed buns, and said to his heart that his mother's craftsmanship is really good, and the buns were packed The steamed cakes have a pointed head and a round belly, and they are all the same size.

Butcher Hu took the steamed buns and bit them. After one bite, half of the steamed buns were gone. I don’t know how Li Sanniang cooks the mutton. The unique fishy smell of sheep makes your index finger move when you smell it closely.

Butcher Hu hurriedly took a sip of the oil before discussing with Li Sanniang: "Two sheep came to the shop today, Sanniang wants it?"

While fiddling with his chubby little fingers, Mo Wenyuan said in his heart, he wants mutton leg meat and mutton fat. Minced mutton leg meat is the most chewy stuffing, add onion and garlic, diced winter melon that absorbs juice, mince mutton meat and put it in the noodle cake Inside, after steaming, the mutton oil melts, sizzling——

Li Sanniang looked at Mo Wenyuan who was drooling and wiped his mouth with a smile: "Why are you crying?"

Hu Tuhu also asked curiously: "This is Da Lang? He really has a good face."

A good-looking child is nothing more than a few points, with a round face and big eyes. Mo Wenyuan has followed Li Sanniang in this life. With big eyes, small nose and small mouth, plus white skin, he is like the golden boy in the painting at a young age. As long as anyone who has seen him has to say something about his good looks.

But he himself is very dissatisfied with this. He said that it doesn't matter if he looks like a mother. When he gets older, don't look delicate. He is a man who wants to shake the spatula in the kitchen. They all look like hard-core sportsmen, who is slender?

Fortunately, he is still young now, and he can't see what he will look like in the future. I just hope that when he gets older, he will stop being white and tender and cute, and he will look rougher.

Li Sanniang said: "Da Lang's eyes follow me, his nose and mouth are like his grandpa's." When talking about the young man who passed away, she had a sore nose and depressed mood.

Fortunately, Li Sanniang was not weak, and she reported to the butcher after secretly feeling sad for a while: "Give me three lamb legs and the sheep's blood, and don't want the sheep's hooves and sheep's blood."

Butcher Hu said: "But do you want to boil the ointment? I'll boil it and give it to you, don't bother Sanniang." The ointment is suet, and after a few hours of boiling the internal organs, you can get a piece of suet.

Li Sanniang said: "After boiling the ointment, I have other uses in the water." She pursed her lips and smiled, "When will you slaughter the sheep? I'll pick some legs."

Butcher Hu also finished his mutton steamed buns, so he wiped the oil on the back of his hand and said, "It's about two o'clock, bring a bowl and bring some sheep's blood back."

Sanniang said generously, "I'll save it."

Mo Wenyuan was stunned when he heard this, and thought that A Niang is really tough, she can chop meat with a knife, pick a leg, watch and kill a sheep, she is omnipotent in everything.

and……

His mind became active. From the time travel to the present, he has never been out of the house. Since the prosperous Tang Dynasty has come, how can he not go out to see how wonderful the outside is?

And on the way, he might see more new food, triggering more chef auxiliary skills, even the cabbage storage method is an auxiliary skill, isn't killing sheep counted?

There were two flames burning in Mo Wenyuan's eyes, and his limp little hand patted Li Sanniang's shoulder.

Mother!Mother!Look at me!

Take me out with you!

Prosperous Tang Dynasty here I come!
