Want to come... In the ancient times when there was no salt and many condiments, if people could eat a leaf with a special taste, it would be so gratifying, especially when the leaf was not poisonous. Taste, people should like all kinds of distinct tastes. Even if these tastes are considered'stinky' by some people, many people still like or even cherish them.
Cumin is one of them.
Lu Qian didn't like this kind of thing very much. Xiao Ruan once cooked a meal, and after it was put, she picked it out one by one and was taught by Lu Yu, and she still remembers it.
Lu Yu looked at cumin and smiled lightly. He was about to put it away and was about to use it for a while, but after thinking about it, he said, "Go, cut each one in half, and make it evenly."
Lu Qian was stunned after hearing this, looking at these cumin pieces the size of millet grains... There was a desperate thought.
"All?"
"You heard clearly."
"Uh... alright."
Lu Qian cried and removed the pearl hairpins from the top of her head, and started to cut them in half one by one. In her opinion, speed is very common, but it is just doing your best. But if it looks from outsiders, especially a person who is proficient in swordsmanship, he will be frightened by Lu Qian's movements and his jaw will fall.
How precise, how fierce, how fast this is! Even the most sophisticated swordsmanship in the world does not require people to achieve such a level of precision, right
The hardest part of this is not to cut such a large cumin in half. The real difficulty is that when cutting one, it can't hurt the surrounding hundreds!
how can that be? How can it be done? But right here, Lu Qian did it, and felt that she was not cutting fast, a little anxious, and even a little self-blaming.
As for the actions of Xiao Ruan on the other side, there is no surprise even if someone is afraid of being seen, because... others can't see it!
Others can only see her handful of red powder from the bag, nothing more.
As for... These powders were whole red peppers before she took them out... No one knew about this, and no one could think of it, because... This is also an unlikely thing.
How much work does it take to grind red peppers into powder? It shouldn't be bothersome, it's very simple, it's something that can be done by an individual!
Yes, it is possible for individuals to do this, but... it is this thing that everyone can do, but the methods used by everyone are the same. It's not that there is no creativity, but it can't be done in a different way! Grinding, first coarse and then fine, peeling and crushing, first hard and then soft, at least four steps before and after, to grind the red pepper into such a powder.
If the thinnest grinding disc is used from the beginning, the result is that the leather is not divided, and the red and white colors are mixed together. How can there be the gorgeousness of the whole body now
In a short time, the two of them completed this kind of seemingly simple and casual work, but it may not be possible for outsiders to practice for ten years.
Lu Yu took it lightly, completely ignoring the difficulties and just treating them as condiments. But he also doesn't think it's simple things, not because of difficulties, but... because they are just condiments.
The condiment is the'god' in a food, like aura in the body.
Three flavors, only three flavors, is enough for Lu Yu.
In fact, there is still a blind taste, only in this stuffy furnace.
Finally, he felt that time was almost up, looked at the two hungry girls and smiled, and then... opened the sullen furnace.
Suddenly, a heat wave burst into the sky with heavy smoke, and it was so choking that people couldn't help but cough. Xiao Ruan hurried forward and waved his sleeves, shaking the smoke into the street.
Although this prevented Lu Yu from being smoked, it also caused the people on the street to be attacked by black smoke. They hurriedly covered their mouths, and couldn't help but look sideways, glaring at this side.
This is the capital, the root of the imperial city, and the foot of the emperor. On this street, a pot of water was poured randomly, and ten people were drenched, of which eight might be relatives of the emperor!
Although the facts are not so exaggerated, these smoked people are not all small people who swallow their anger, and many of them are members of large families, frowning and shouting loudly.
"What the hell?!" an old man shouted loudly: "It's getting dark and foggy in broad daylight. Do you think you're an old Black Mountain demon? What's the matter? It's because the streets are too clean, so I licked some black ones. Licking the color? What kind of smoke do you emit from the stove? Is it burning your ancestor's tablet or the foot cloth?"
This slaughter can be described as extremely vicious.
Lu Qian was so angry that she almost killed someone in the street, but Lu Yu didn't think anything.
Randomly waved his hand, and smiled at the old man: "I feel choked? Hey, if you can't bear the bitterness of smoky and grilling, how can you enjoy this supremely good food? Now that it has been smoked to you, I can't say, wait for a round You are naturally indispensable when you are done. Sit over and wait for a while."
He is not angry, and Lu Qian is naturally not angry.
The reason why Lu Yu is not angry is because he has no sense of belonging to himself, the Lu family. As for his ancestors, he will not feel distressed even if he is scratched by his ancestral grave. Even in his previous life, he was an orphan who naturally didn't know who his ancestor was. If he really knew it, even if he really did meet him... You would have to come to Dunwuxing first, and it would be irresponsible to beat them!
And after he said this, the old man really stopped shouting, frowning and looking at his sullen furnace, curiously said: "Is it really delicious in a while?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's delicious or not, I will know after trying it."
"Well, it's reasonable!"
The old man didn't look away, walked in directly, sat down next to the boring person, and waited quietly.
The reason why he had such a reaction was actually within Lu Yu's expectation. It's very simple. Although it is a busy city, it is a'Backwater Street'. There are mostly restaurants and wine shops. After the meal, you can still look at the hungry left and right. It is either shy in the pocket or the glutton. No matter which one it was, Lu Yu's remarks had enough appeal.
At this time, Lu Yu looked at the fire again, there was no flame, but only a piece of red.
In addition to making food, the stuffy furnace actually has another function, which is to burn carbon.
This kind of thing was originally difficult, but of course it wasn't difficult in Lu Yu's hands. Firewood is naturally a good thing, and the things that are fired often have an extremely beautiful taste, which can be described as charred on the outside and tender on the inside, but it is char of'coke' and'tender' with bloodshot eyes.
People in northern Xinjiang only eat cattle and sheep, which is actually very much related to this. The things that are roasted on fire are not easy to be cooked. Even if the outside is burnt and cannot be eaten, the inside is still raw. Only things that will not have diarrhea can be eaten by them. This is because of the limitations of cooking methods and actively choose food.
But charcoal fire is different. This hot red light was called "far-infrared light" in the previous life. Now... it's called charcoal fire. Although the firepower is insufficient, the penetrating power is more important. As long as the meat is not too thick, it can be cooked inside and out. The ancestors in the previous life spent more than two thousand years to study and understand this. In this life, on this vast continent... still very few people use it, even if they use it, they don't understand it.
Now everything is ready.
Charcoal fire, lamb, refined salt, cumin, chili... what can be made is naturally the lamb skewers that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys in the past life!
As for this cuisine, Lu Yu in his previous life has been specializing in it for more than a dozen years! I just don't know whether this "invincible in Heishuiying" dish can satisfy the taste buds of people in this world.
