Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 176 Appetizer for New Year's Dinner

"Haha, I heard that the soup has been cooked successfully?" Cao Ren slipped over just after dawn.

"Zixiao, don't you need to arrange the venue for the dinner?" Wang Yong asked directly without turning his head.

"There is Yuan Rang over there, and my subordinates are working hard!" Cao Ren laughed, but there was a hint of panic in his tone.Sure enough, this guy came here to be lazy.

If it's marching and fighting, or guarding the city, then it doesn't matter how tired she is, after all, it is the bounden duty of a warrior.But if she is asked to govern, or do something unrelated to war, then she is reluctant, and she will be lazy if she can.This character has been complained by Xun Yu more than once, and Cao Cao has also said it several times, but she also agreed verbally, and she will not change her life or death.

It was also difficult in the early stage, and many generals had to be used as civil servants, such as Li Dian, Cao Ren, and even Cheng Yu.Fortunately, the same is true for everyone. Cao Cao's civil service system was supported to allow her to complete the initial accumulation of talents.

During the period, a document such as the "recruitment order" was initiated, but in the end it violated the interests of the old aristocratic families.You must know that this world family's monopoly on knowledge is stronger than the orthodox world.Although many children from poor families were recruited in the follow-up, most of them needed to be tempered slowly, and the capable children from aristocratic families were at odds with Cao Cao.

It is true that the characteristics of children from poor families are hard work and hard work.He (she) will absorb new knowledge crazily, and then improve themselves.But if the children of the aristocratic families above are not willing to let them learn, then they still can't learn much.Without more accumulation, the improvement of the poor family is limited.

Maybe it's a county magistrate, or a sheriff, or at most a state magistrate, that's all.

Wang Yong thought about opening a school to train talents, but he didn't say it because there were not enough teachers and it would easily irritate the aristocratic family.The medical center is an experiment, and its existence can be regarded as a place for cultivating talents. The key family is not very resistant, after all, the children of the family are normal people and can get sick.

"Even so, look..." Wang Yong smiled and didn't say anything, someone had already come to look for her.

"Hua! How many times have I said that the dinner party is everyone's business, and you are not allowed to be lazy!" Xiahou Dun came to Cao Ren angrily, grabbed her by the back of the collar, and walked towards the venue.

"Let me take a break..." Cao Ren looked reluctant and was dragged away like this.

"Hehe..." Looking at her appearance, Wang Yong could only shake his head, and then continued to watch the fire.All the materials are in place, all he needs is to cook the dishes for tonight's dinner.

"Tonight is not an attempt, but a real battle! It must be successful once, and there should be no flaws at all. Serving out flawed meals is the greatest insult to our chefs!" Wang Yong shouted at several help chefs.

"Obey!" Everyone knew the importance of tonight's dinner, so they responded one after another.

The night is slowly getting dark, and the dinner scene has been arranged very beautifully and lively. It is rare that the weather tonight is not bad. There is no rain, no cloudy sky, and the clear sky is bright with stars, but unfortunately there is no moon... Where does the moon come from on the first day of the new year? ?If the moon really comes out, Wang Yong even wonders if this world is the earth!
"Eat, eat, eat, eat..." Seeing the guests taking their seats one after another, Xun Yu immediately entered the cute state.She has been busy all day today. As the general deployment of materials and the rehearsal guide of the show, she has at least three jobs at the same time.

The more tired she is, the more she wants to eat. At this moment, her heart has been endlessly looping, "I'm so hungry, so hungry, I'm really hungry..."

"Dinner, dinner, dinner!" Seeing this, Cao Ren followed suit, and Xiahou Dun didn't even know how to complain.

"Haha..." Hua Tuo smiled slightly, "Isn't it nice to have a lively New Year's dinner?"

"Big...probably..." In formal occasions, Guo Jia would still become a little shy.

"The appetizers came first, right? The menu says skin jelly, but what is skin jelly?" Xiahou Dun simply changed the subject, and naturally asked Guo Jia.

"It's a jelly made from pigskin. It's made from jelly... a bit... a bit like pudding..." Guo Jia replied in a panic.

"Dessert is also pudding, won't it be a bit repetitive?" Xiahou Dun couldn't help but ponder when he heard this.

"Eating...the feeling of eating is not...different, so...it won't...repeat." Guo Jia quickly explained, perhaps because he was too anxious, and the words were even more intermittent.

"Then let's look forward to it a little bit!" Xiahou Dun nodded. Although she is not a sweet person, she still likes sweets very much.

Not long after, the waiters in the backstage brought out things one after another, and the first ones brought out were not skin jelly, but Dukang and rice wine.This is the water and wine served at the banquet tonight.Originally, he also prepared scented tea, but Cao Ren retorted: "How can you not drink on such a happy occasion!"

So she decided that the minimum was to start with rice wine, and she asked for a pot of Dukang herself.I have drank it with Cao Cao several times before, and I really like the taste.And Guo Jia and others are not very good at drinking, so they just drink rice wine.The wine is slightly sweet and has a nice mouthfeel.

"Isn't it time to toast now?" Cao Ren poured himself a glass of wine, and then remembered.

"Eat, eat, eat..." Xun Yu became even more restless.

"Here we come!" Wang Yong's voice came, and several helpers brought out the skin jelly one after another. After a long time of simmering, the collagen in the pig skin was boiled out, and then solidified by freezing.

There is also a more delicate processing method, which is to thoroughly crush the pigskin, and then boil it to completely melt the pigskin and become a part of the skin jelly. This is the improved version of the crystal skin jelly.

"Totally, I didn't see the appearance of the pigskin, it was pudding at all!" Xiahou Dun couldn't help being surprised.

"What is the raw material of the sauce? It seems a bit sour..." Hua Tuo was also very interested in this crystal skin jelly.

"Mature vinegar and seasoning sauce are the base, add a little sugar, minced garlic and lime (lime), and some pickled peppers if needed." Wang Yong replied, "Please taste, the soup will be served soon!"

"Hurry up then!" Xun Yu looked at Wang Yong, "I guess I'll be even hungrier after eating this..."

To be honest, she doesn't like sour food very much, and she prefers spicy food.However, this crystal skin jelly is very well made and looks very appetizing. I just hope that Wang Yong will not put so much vinegar.

Sure enough, Wang Yong was still very considerate, she didn't put so much vinegar in it, it was slightly appetizing, but not too heavy.Even pickled peppers are specially added, the slightly hot and sour feeling is very comfortable.

"Suck..." When I ate the pork skin jelly, I realized that this thing can be like a vermicelli. Suck and eat it in the mouth, but it is tougher than jelly when chewed, but it will not look old, smooth and tender. Very comfortable taste.

"This is really good as an appetizer! No, I want to drink, why don't I have a drink first?" Cao Ren raised his glass.

"So...Happy New Year, cheers!" Everyone exchanged glances, and then raised their glasses one by one.

　The appetizers are really nothing special. For example, I am a southerner. The appetizers after the table are usually cashew nuts and fish fillets. This stuff is not full, and it is a bit oily. Eat one or two for fun and fill your stomach, nothing more than that.Wang Yong's real bad taste is that he uses sour vinegar for seasoning, which not only fills the stomach, but also increases appetite and hunger.
