Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 166 Trying to Make a Roasted Pig
"Yuan? Why did you come here?!" Xun Yu was obviously a little surprised, more surprised, and hurried to greet her.

"Yan, it's great to see you!" Seeing Xun Yu, Guo Jia hurried over and hugged her into his arms.One of them is 1.6 meters tall and the other is 1.5 meters tall. When they hugged each other, Xun Yu immediately buried himself in Guo Jia's chest.

"Yuan... this is too painful..." Xun Yu hurriedly distanced himself from Guo Jia, and compared to the physical pain, the spiritual pain was more serious... They are both at the same age, and they could still touch their heads to comfort them before. Her... in the blink of an eye, she actually developed so well, I'm a bit unwilling!

"Yan, do you really want to pursue Wang Yong?" Guo Jia asked pitifully, with teary eyes, like a kitten or puppy worried about being abandoned by its owner, "So, you want to abandon Wang Yong?" Me?"

"Yuan... don't say such strange things, you have always been my good friend, best friend..." Xun Yu's face showed a trace of unbearable, it is hard to say whether it is a pure friendship.The relationship between the two was too close, they ate and slept together, can the relationship between the two really be explained by "friends"?
"Woo meow..." Hearing what Xun Yu said, Guo Jia felt as if he had lost love suddenly, and tears rolled in his eyes, which might fall at any time.

"Okay, okay, let's go aside and talk slowly!" Seeing the gazes of several people around him, Xun Yu also felt a little embarrassed, and directly dragged Guo Jia into the tent, "No eavesdropping!"

"Do you want to eavesdrop?" Seeing the two of them go in, Cao Ren asked with an expression of "it's not a big deal to watch the excitement".

"This...isn't that good?" Xiahou Dun was actually a little moved, but he couldn't save face and eavesdrop.

"Let's forget it... I feel like this will embarrass them..." Wang Yong also persuaded, but then his ears trembled, as if he heard something.

It was also the fault of the tent, which had no sound insulation effect, and was farther away, but his hearing was good.

He heard some crying and comforting voices vaguely, but the comforting effect seemed to be ineffective. Guo Jia seemed to become very emotional, and he almost cried; but the next moment he heard some faint "um... um... "The voice seemed to be blocked.After that, there was no sound in the camp, but it made people super curious about what happened!
Not long after, Xun Yu came out first, wiped the corners of his mouth, and gave everyone a thumbs up: "It's done!"

"Woo meow..." Guo Jia followed behind Xun Yu like a little daughter-in-law, her cheeks were completely flushed.She was even ashamed to look at everyone, so she just stood behind Xun Yu, fingers clasped together, thumbs twirling in circles.

Super, super curious, what just happened!The few people outside couldn't help complaining in their hearts.

However, Guo Jia's mood has completely calmed down.I started to say hello to everyone, and of course I also had to say hello to Wang Yong. The relationship between the two parties was actually not that rigid, but after the turmoil just now, I couldn't let go now.

"Let's have something to eat, it's almost time for dinner!" Wang Yong could only take the lead in finding a topic.

"Then... Shall I help? By the way, Wuyou, the pigs you fostered in Wanshiwu have already been brought here." Guo Jia replied subconsciously, and then remembered that there were other things to explain.

"Oh, those pigs... Except for the two pigs that are trying to be castrated and raised, the other piglets are meaningless. If you want to come to the Master's House and the Chef's Guild, you should already know the benefits of castration...how about tonight? How about just eating roast suckling pig?" Wang Yong suggested after a little thought after hearing the words.

Originally, I despise the pork of this era. They are all fed without castration. It takes more than two years to be slaughtered. Not to mention, there is not much fat.The key is that many people actually raise them directly next to the toilet, which makes the meat even more saucy!
So I planned to raise barrows by myself. The original idea was just to increase some available ingredients. Second, if it can be promoted as an exclusive patent, then naturally there will be a lot of income.Others can choose not to use the recipe's patent, but obviously no one can ignore the cooking skills and the cultivation technology of new ingredients.

Master House was able to break the rules and give him a C-level membership, largely because he discovered the usage of tomatoes and peppers with his help. This is equivalent to adding a seasoning and a new ingredient in this world.And membership cannot be hereditary, that's the key.

Later, when the money was earned, the cultivation of barrows was not so important.He especially wanted to come to Xu County, knowing that Guo Jia was not available, so he gave it to Wanshiwu for foster care, and at the same time submitted an application for barrow breeding technology to the Chefs Guild.

"That's right! The technology has been recognized by the chef's guild, and the patent certificate is here..." Guo Jia searched for it in his luggage and handed a certificate to Wang Yong. 1% of the profit will be paid as a patent fee. After deducting the 10% handling fee, the remaining 90% will be deposited into your account.”

"Okay, thank you!" Wang Yong nodded.

"Roast suckling pig, it's pretty good!" Cao Ren was more concerned about the roast suckling pig. He had eaten it before. The meat was very tender, without any smell, and the skin was crispy. Just thinking about it a little bit, the body fluid in his mouth began to secrete involuntarily.

"Roasted suckling pig..." Xun Yu thought for a while, then looked at Wang Yong worriedly, "It's more difficult than roasted lamb. Worry-free, can you really handle your current situation?"

When it comes to roasting a whole lamb, it is enough to roast the lamb until it is fragrant; roast suckling pig is not good, the requirements for sizing and roasting are very strict, and the skin must be crispy on the outside, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside to be considered qualified.The deployment of crispy syrup and the heat of baking are very particular.

Generally speaking, if you want to bake well, you have to bake in an open oven; and the way to be a little lazy is to bake in a dark oven. Can taste it.

"You have to try it, otherwise how can you improve your cooking skills? Practice more, and you will be familiar with it!" Wang Yong smiled, and if he really wanted to do it, he didn't have the confidence yet.

"Wuyou, what's the matter?" Guo Jia noticed something keenly, and felt that something seemed to have happened to Wang Yong.

"By the way, Feng Xiao doesn't know yet..." Xiahou Dun suddenly understood, "The thing is like this... So, the current Wuyou, the cooking level has slipped a little, probably at the level of a senior chef."

"And it's the bottom part!" Cao Ren directly made up for it.

"How could this happen!" Guo Jia looked at Wang Yong worriedly, "Wuyou, is it alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Wang Yong patted his chest, "This is my true level. The previous state was abnormal. If it continues like this, it will affect my subsequent development."

Immediately, he found Wen Ming and told him to take someone to bring back all the suckling pigs, and then went to the back kitchen to make preliminary preparations.

"Let me help!" Guo Jia ran over. At any rate, during this period of time, when she was working as a helper for Yang Xiu, she also secretly learned a lot of orthodox cooking skills, and her cooking skills improved a little.

The key is that I have to perform better, and my cooking skills must be improved as soon as possible.Otherwise, Xun Yu would really be snatched away by Wang Yong!No one noticed that this girl in love is already full of fighting spirit!
The most important thing about roast suckling pig is to prepare crispy syrup, and the raw material is maltose.Maltose is sold in Wanshiwu, and it is kept in the kitchen materials.

This should be the earliest source of sugar. The ancient caramel was largely made of maltose.Before sucrose or beet sugar became the mainstream, maltose was the mainstream of sugar in Chinese history.Even if sucrose later became the mainstream, maltose still occupies a place in Huaxia sugar.

Mix maltose and water, wait for the maltose to melt, then add white wine and vinegar (Zhejiang vinegar) and mix thoroughly, the finished product is crispy syrup.When blending, pay attention not to put too much maltose, after all, it is easy to color when heated, causing the finished product to turn black.

For seasoning, prepare salt, seasoning sauce, sugar, minced garlic, minced onion, rice wine and five-spice powder.Five-spice powder does not seem to exist in this world, but it can be prepared by yourself.

After all, five-spice powder itself is a blend of peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, cloves and cumin seeds.According to the needs, there are several recipes, which are prepared according to the needs, and the cooking effects of different recipes are slightly different.

"It's almost there, the rest is waiting for the suckling pig to come..." Wang Yong worked for a long time, preparing the oven, the bamboo poles for skewering the pigs, and of course the iron wire.

Roast suckling pig is like this, poked in from the anus, come out from the mouth, cut open and cleaned to marinated, and finally use iron wire as a 'suture line', and 'restore the pig to its original shape' to facilitate roasting.

"Master Chef, the suckling pigs are brought back!" Wenming brought a few soldiers and brought over four three-month-old suckling pigs. In terms of size, they are actually a little bigger. After all, roast suckling pigs are usually Choose six to seven catties of suckling pigs, these are obviously already twenty catties, and there is still some fat.

"In this case, two ends are almost enough to eat!" Wang Yong thought for a while, "The other two ends should be raised first!"

"Obey!" The soldiers didn't complain when they heard the words, and directly took the piglets to be raised in captivity.In the back kitchen, there is a place dedicated to raising chickens, ducks, and other livestock.

The pig is slaughtered for bloodletting and hair removal. The kitchen knife splits the piglet from the inside of the buttocks along the spine, removes the suet, and removes 3 to 4 ribs and shoulder blades from the front chest.Rinse thoroughly with clean water and drain.

To marinate, first use salt and five-spice powder, brush briefly in the abdominal cavity, wait for three to 10 minutes, then mix the seasoning sauce, sesame paste, sugar, minced garlic, minced onion, Fen wine and five-spice powder, spread evenly on the abdominal cavity, and then marinate Make three 10 minutes.

"I remember that later generations used a U-shaped fork to fix the inner side of the roasted suckling pig, and then turned it over and roasted it like this, which made the roasting faster. However, this method should be used to make the roasted suckling pig crispy on the outside and tender on the inside..." Wang Yong put the roasted suckling pig together. The pigs are skewered and then tied up with iron wires. The work is slow and meticulous. If you want to get delicious food, sometimes you have to do it slowly.

Judging from the appearance, the piglet had returned to its original appearance, and it was hard to imagine that it had been disembowelled before, and the internal organs and bones were removed.

"It's almost time, we need to speed up the rest!" Looking at the time, there are still more than two hours before dinner, although there is plenty of time, the next steps are also very cumbersome, and the piglet is big, Don't hurry up.

It's no wonder that some restaurants in Guangdong Province in later generations have to make a reservation if they want to eat roast suckling pig.

　Roast suckling pig, of course, is not counted, it can only be regarded as a roast pig.Twenty catties, it is obviously unreal to hold it directly in your hand and roast it.
