Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 127 Ice Cubes Are Imperial Items
After Lao Li took Mengyuan into the small kitchen, he closed the door, saying that it was a small kitchen, which was no better than the back kitchen.

Taking advantage of Meng Yuan being here today, Lao Li doesn't need her to help him. From selecting meat to loosening the pig's skin, Lao Li does it all by himself.

After the preparatory work is done, the pork belly must be blanched in cold water for a round before proceeding to the next step.

There is a row of cabinets in the small kitchen dedicated to storing condiments and some precious dry ingredients.

After blanching the water, in front of Meng Yuan, Lao Li followed the aniseed ingredients listed on the house that needed to be cooked in the water with the pork belly.

The weight is specially measured with a small scale, and the cost of these big ingredients is even better than the one she brought herself last time.

I just don't know why Lao Li said that the taste of the food will be very different from hers.

After picking up the aniseed ingredients, Lao Li asked Meng Yuan to take a look once to make sure there was nothing missing, then turned on the fire and heated up the pot, then put the mountain pepper in the pot and put oil to stir-fry. After the smell came out, add garlic, green onion Stir-fry the ginger slices, put in cold water, add bay leaves, fragrant, and finally put the meat in and cover.

Before the meat is cooked is the time to make the sauce.The mint leaves were brought by Meng Yuan from her home today, as well as the peppers, so Lao Li didn't use them to purchase them.

"Uncle Li, I brought a few cucumbers from home, why don't I add hand-patted cucumber cold dishes to my boss!?"

Lao Li frowned. Of course he knew about cucumbers, but most of them are served in restaurants for stir-frying or putting some meat into them for stir-frying.

However, Meng Yuan Lao Li is still trustworthy, not to mention anything else, he can make such delicious dishes at a young age, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future.

"Meng girl, as long as it's delicious food, you can just make it. Uncle Li, the more the better!"

As an imperial chef who has been in the palace, it is naturally best to be able to get in touch with more fresh food.When he withdrew from the palace, if the second young master hadn't said that he would be exposed to more gluten than in the palace, he wouldn't have come to Yuefulou to be the chef.

Meng Yuan was assured, her little face smiled happily.It's rare to meet such an open-minded chef. If someone else sees her limelight being robbed, she may not know what she will do to her child!
It is very simple to hand-pat cucumbers. They are all grown by themselves, and they are also pollution-free vegetables without pesticides. After washing the dust outside with well water, put the cucumbers on the chopping board and break them in half.

"Papa..." After a few clicks, the cucumbers brought by Mengyuan became beyond recognition under the ravages of Mengyuan.

"Uncle Li, do you know if there are any ice cubes in the restaurant? That's right, if this cold dish is chilled with ice cubes, it will be crisper than the ones chilled in Jingli, and the taste will be better."

"Well, yes, it's just that the ice cubes are for the Queen's use, that is to say, our boss has the ability to get them. Our Yuefulou is the main store in the whole country. Is there any other places, but there will definitely be some here. .”

"Then trouble Uncle Li to bring me a bowl of ice cubes!"

Hmm... The ice cubes are actually used by the imperial court, so if I want to use ice cubes, I have to deal with officials?

Aw... In modern times, every household has a refrigerator, so it's such a hassle to use it there.Come here, if you want to eat something cold in summer, you can get involved with officials.
