The Empress’s Gigolo

Chapter 31: Braised Pork and Cumin Lamb

Views:

Cover the cumin lamb and braised pork with lids, and Ren Baqian asked them to fry some peanuts.

This time it was useless to instigate the supervisor, someone took the initiative to do it.

Now everyone wants to know what these seasonings are from Ren Baqian.

Regarding this problem, Ren Baqian didn't hide it, after all, it was just some condiments, and he could pretend to be aggressive in the imperial dining room.

"This is cumin. You have tried the taste just now. It can remove the fishy smell and improve the tenderness of the meat. Another very important function is to have a little antiseptic effect. After all, the weather is so hot, and a dish can be put away after it is cooked. After a while, the cumin slows down the flavor of the dish."

Although some vocabulary is different, everyone can easily understand what Ren Baqian said.

"How can this kind of cumin be sold?" Someone asked immediately.

Others also looked forward to it.

But they didn't know if Ren Baqian would speak out. After all, this thing has never been seen before, it is considered unique, and its value can be imagined.

"Let me plant some and see how the yield is." Ren Baqian thought for a while.

"Can you sell it to us?"

"Of course." Ren Baqian spread his hands. "Why don't you sell this thing? I don't plan to be a cook."

Ren Baqian's mouth was a seasoning that they had never heard of before, and these people's impression of Ren Baqian was that his mouth was full of nonsense, and he didn't look like a big Yao person, so they were almost disgusted.

When Ren Baqian really took out the things, their attitudes began to change.

When Ren Baqian agreed to sell them the seasoning, their eyes were already extremely eager.

After all, the attitudes of people from other countries towards Dayao people are brutal and violent, but one thing has to be admitted, they are all straight-hearted. The kind that says one and says two.

Ren Baqian ignored them and continued: "This is star anise... nutmeg... cinnamon... Chinese pepper..."

Tell them all the seasonings.

Everyone in the imperial dining room almost confessed to Ren Baqian after listening.

Don't call me brother, you can call me uncle.

The seasonings that Ren Baqian brought out really opened their eyes.

With these seasonings, they also have the confidence to make more dishes, and the taste has improved by more than one level compared to before.

Ren Baqian explained it to them, and then instructed everyone to work, it would be much more enjoyable.

Smash the fried peanuts, then chop up the spicy green fruit and throw in the cucumber, then mix it with salt, brown sugar, monosodium glutamate, and minced garlic.

Everyone tasted it, and asked Ren Baqian what those unexplained white particles were

"MSG, I'm afraid I won't be able to get this thing out in a short time." Ren Baqian shook his head and said.

Hearing him say that, although everyone was a little regretful, the harvest was already huge.

You must know that the original condiments of the imperial dining room are only soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and several vegetables like onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper.

This time, Ren Baqian took out six or seven kinds, which made them feel as if they had opened the door to a new world.

"Send the dishes to His Majesty." Ren Baqian looked at Guan Guan and said.

Gou Guanshi cupped his fists at Ren Baqian: "From now on in the imperial dining room, whatever you say will be what you say."

Then let someone spell a piece of fruit, and let someone send it to His Majesty together.

Ren Baqian turned around and saw that there were still ice cubes in the corner, and said to the remaining people in the imperial dining room: "You find a box, and put ice cubes in it, and then put vegetables, fruits and meat in it, how much can you save?" Store for a period of time, the hotter the weather, the faster the food will deteriorate, and the lower the temperature, the longer the storage time."

Now everyone was about to treat Ren Baqian like a god, and immediately nodded after hearing what he said, and when they were ready to go back, they found someone to make a box and did what Ren Baqian said.

The steward Gou sent the dishes into the palace, and as soon as the lid was lifted, there was a pungent sound, especially the smell of braised pork, which could be smelled from a long distance away.

The two maids beside the empress secretly swallowed their saliva.

"I haven't seen this dish today." The empress said casually after taking a look.

"It was made by Manager Ren! The subordinates have never seen this kind of dish, but it tastes really good." Manager Gou said sternly.

"Oh? Come to think of it, you guys still made a bet, right? Last time you said it was a kid surnamed Ren, but this time he became Steward Ren, and he won?" the empress sat up slightly and said.

"It is true that he won. He took out several spices that he had never seen before. Your Majesty will know after tasting it." Gou Guan said.

The empress nodded slightly, and when someone brought the poison to her, she was the first to taste the braised pork, which was the most fragrant and made her feel a little hungry.

It looked a little greasy at first, but after eating a bite of braised pork, it didn't feel greasy at all, and it was full of fragrance, especially the taste brought by several seasonings that I had never tasted before, which made the empress nodded: "Very good, What is it called?"

"Braised pork." Gou Guan said.

"The name doesn't sound good, but it's really good."

After that, I ate cumin mutton. Although it didn't look like the usual one, but with cumin, the mutton was more tender, and most of the fishy smell was removed. Adding the aroma of cumin, the empress was also amazed.

This day the empress ate a lot more, although her every move was still elegant, but her speed was much faster. When it was finally served, Guan Shi looked at the dishes on the plate and knew that he ate half more than usual, which is extremely rare.

It can be seen that His Majesty really likes these new dishes very much.

"Very good, very good, I will make this again tomorrow. In addition, you can ask him to learn a few more new dishes." The empress got up and walked a few steps on the ground and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Don't you arrange Steward Ren to the Imperial Dining Room?" Steward Gou asked. Although he hated Ren Baqian's attitude at first, but when Ren Baqian showed the real thing, he also very much agreed with Ren Baqian. Moreover, Ren Baqian is not only familiar with all kinds of seasonings, but also proficient in many new dishes that he has never seen before. It would be a pity if he continues to be placed in the animal garden.

No matter whether Ren Baqian came to the Imperial Dining Room as forehand or second hand, he had no objection.

"Forget it, I have my own arrangements, you go back and ask him to tell me about that novel. Qingyuan, you follow and bring him over."

"Yes, Your Majesty." A tall, good-looking maid in her twenties answered in a low voice.

After leaving the hall, the waitress lifted the lid of the dish and secretly tasted a piece of it when no one was there, her eyes lit up immediately.

I just smelled the taste and thought it was very similar. I didn't know how delicious it was until I put it in my mouth.

"Well, it's really delicious." Satisfied with curiosity, Qing Yuan sucked off the oil on her fingers, put her hands behind her back, and rolled her eyes.

"Brother Ren, Your Majesty told you to tell some novels." Guan Shi said to him when he saw Ren Baqian sitting there in a daze when he entered the courtyard of the imperial dining room.

Qingyuan looked at Guanshi Gou, then at Ren Baqian, pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Ren Baqian crisply, "It's the one I talked about last time, Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
