Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

This case is settled. In the next period of time, there will be many rich and powerful people who ransacked their homes and wiped out their families!

However, this has nothing to do with Wen Mingtang and others, the cooks of the public kitchens!With the dishes she cooked, Ah Bing and Tangyuan became more and more proficient in cooking, and Wen Mingtang's thoughts were put on making all kinds of utensils to make new dishes!
The snacks at the takeaway stalls have become more and more popular since the students from the Guozijian University next door came to grab the snacks during get out of class time. Often after lunch, the snacks takeaway stalls are all snatched up as soon as they open!These students even learned to "reserve", ordering snacks for the next few days in advance!
As a result, the guards and officials in Dali Temple could not get more snacks, and there were endless voices suggesting to prepare more snacks!
The public kitchen's existing pots, pans, and pans were a little slow to make snacks, so Wen Mingtang drew up drawings after imitating modern pots, and asked the blacksmiths introduced by Lin Fei to order pots.

When these pots and utensils arrive, there will be no shortage of snacks at that time, and it will also be a relief to the servants and officials in Dali Temple who cannot get snacks!

And the students who snatched the snacks were still enjoying the snacks in their mouths, and they were not tired of eating, but how can there be too many snacks and snacks?While eating the sugar-fried chestnuts, millet crisps, and braised duck in their hands, and drinking milk tea, the students began to give suggestions to Wen Mingtang.

"Master Wen can prepare more snacks, I like to eat this!" The students patted the bulging purses hanging on their waists while talking, expressing that they were not short of money to buy snacks!

It is the time when children at such an age like to eat snacks the most!
Wen Mingtang, who got the suggestion, replied with a smile: "New snacks will be served in a few days!"

But before preparing new snacks, she still has a rest day!
As the end of the new year approaches, more people slaughter poultry and livestock. After all, the end of the year is approaching, and it is also the time when people gradually start to let go of their bellies and reward themselves!
It was a rare holiday, but Wen Mingtang didn't stay in bed, but got up early and went to the market first!
Although there are steel beams in the market, but there are not many customers in the butcher's stall on weekdays, there are already many people carrying chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other poultry and livestock!

360 lines, every line will be the champion!Wen Mingtang passed by the slaughter stall, and glanced at the row of butchers who were slaughtering chickens and ducks, and there was a bald butcher in the middle with the longest row!With a cursory glance, one can see that the kitchen knife in the butcher's hand is quite like a master of "cooking a ox". He slaughtered chickens and ducks and separated the flesh and bones. The kitchen knife is quite exquisite. !
The people waiting by the side had only a few chairs and stools, and in less than half a moment, they led the slaughtered poultry and livestock away satisfied!
This situation made Wen Mingtang think of what Liang Hongjin said a few days ago about "a cook with a good knife", and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing!

She is good at cutting vegetables and meat with a knife, but she is better at killing poultry and livestock such as chickens and ducks!

Because of the slaughter of poultry and livestock, there was a smell of blood in the air!The smell was so strong that even the cook Wen Mingtang felt a little uncomfortable. After watching it for a while, he left the market with two pots of wintersweet flowers in his hand.

The ingredients of the public chef of Dali Temple were all slaughtered by the people on Zhuangzi, so even though he was a cook, Wen Mingtang seldom smelled such a strong smell of blood.

Although he lived in Dali Temple all year round and didn't have his own house yet, but it was the house he lived in. Wen Mingtang still started to buy some New Year's goods one after another to add some New Year's atmosphere to the house!
Returning to Dali Temple with two pots of wintersweet flowers, after putting the flowers in the house, Wen Mingtang went out to find Ji Caimai.

Ji Caimai, who was squatting on the porch, had been waiting for Wen Mingtang, and when she saw her coming, she immediately got up and said, "Let's go!"

The new snack prepared by Master Wen is a snack called boneless chicken tenders!When he heard this, he couldn't hold back and asked the girl, "What is a chicken fillet? Which part of a chicken?"

I have heard of chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken feet, chicken necks, chicken heads, chicken hearts, etc. What is this "willow"?
Wen Mingtang said: "It's chicken breast!"

It was chicken breast!Ji Caimai thought for a while, and after some calculations, he said to Wen Mingtang: "On the day of Xiumu, follow me to Zhuangzi!" Then he explained, "I'll go and buy the whole chicken myself! Chicken legs , Chicken wings and other common things can be priced, but after the chicken is separated, there are not many chicken breasts alone, and the Zhuangzi did not give a price!"

There is meat in the chicken breast, but the meat is really not oily, it is too tight to make, and it tastes dry and woody, so it is far less popular than the other parts!
Ji Caimai thinks that at the end of the year, when Zhuangzi is on a "massive killing spree", he can buy together with the cooks from the yamen next to him, and buy the chicken breasts they don't want from the cooks who are waiting for chicken legs, wings and other parts. Can save a lot of money.

Wen Mingtang has been in the public kitchen for more than half a year, and the ingredients on Zhuangzi have been used for a long time, and he also knows that the ingredients on Zhuangzi are very good. Now it is a rare opportunity to go to Zhuangzi to have a look in person, so naturally he will not waste this opportunity!So after going to the market early in the morning to get back two pots of wintersweet flowers, I bought them with Ji and went to Zhuangzi.

Wen Mingtang took the bamboo hat Ji Caimai handed over and put it on his head, and went to Zhuangzi on the bullock cart with Ji Caimai alone!
Compared with horse-drawn carriages, ox carts are naturally much slower, but more leisurely!The two swayed all the way in the bullock cart, and finally arrived at Zhuangzi around noon.

Standing outside the Zhuangzi, he heard noisy voices coming from inside. After following Ji Caimai into the Zhuangzi, and seeing all kinds of meat and vegetable ingredients piled up in front of him, as well as the yamen buyers who were bargaining in front of the ingredients, Wen Mingtang rolled his eyes. Liang couldn't help but said to Ji Cai: "It's really like a market!"

"The food ingredients in the market are mixed, some are good, and more are shoddy," Ji Caimai said, leading Wen Mingtang over, nodding and greeting the acquaintances he met, He said, "There will be no problem with the ingredients here!"

Although Wen Mingtang was brought to pick the chicken breasts, the dishes that need to be bought daily still had to be bought first. After buying some ingredients for the three meals needed by the public kitchen, and asking the handymen to help them move them to the ox cart to take care of them, Ji Cai bought them. He took Wen Mingtang into the "stall" that slaughtered chickens and ducks surrounded by many people and asked the buyers of the government chefs who were buying chickens and ducks: "Is there anyone who bought chickens and didn't want chicken breasts?"

As soon as these words came out, someone turned his head and said, "I have leftover chicken breasts here!"

Wen Mingtang, who was following Ji Caimai, looked over at the prestige, but saw that Ji Caimai, who had been familiar with almost everyone since just now, was taken aback when he saw that person, "Hey", and wondered: "Which one are you?" Buying from the yamen? This is the first time I've seen you!"
