I open a restaurant in Daqin

Chapter 459
In later generations, how do people in other places eat corn?

The simplest and rude way to eat, everyone knows, corn on the cob.

Whether it's boiled or baked, it's delicious.

But that is tender corn, which cannot be preserved for a long time.

And the dried corn, and then make corn on the cob, the taste is not good.

So there are some fine eating methods, such as smashing corn, commonly known as corn grits, some are used to cook porridge, and some are used to stew like rice.

This is the most popular way of eating, and it is also the simplest, but after all, the taste cannot be compared with rice, which leads to the fact that although corn is high-yield and delicious, it cannot completely replace rice and become the staple food.

Even in Qin Yong's previous life, because of the unprecedented development of agriculture, people no longer had to worry about eating enough. Most of the time, the corn was turned into cornstarch or various things, but it was not a staple food after all. .

Only in the southwest, it is definitely the staple food in the staple food. Almost many people use corn instead of rice.

And their method is to grind the corn into flour, which can't be too thick or too fine, at least not as fine as flour, and there can't be any dross or the like. What's left is the essence.

How to make this thing, of course it is steamed.

If you want to cook it like rice, it is doomed to only become batter, and it cannot be cooked through.

The method, if it is complicated, is indeed much more complicated than making rice, but if it is simple, it is actually very simple.

As a food blogger, Qin Yong, the most basic, of course has to understand the food culture of all parties. Of course, he is also proficient in the technique of corn rice.

After a smooth operation, sprinkle enough water on the corn surface, stir evenly, then break it up, put it into the steamer bit by bit, cover the steamer, and steam it on high heat.

This meal has to be done slowly, and of course you can't be idle in the spare time in the middle.

Although many basic preparations are almost done, but after all, it is only the basics.

The next step is to chop vegetables and so on.

Under the stunned gaze of Yingshuang, Qin Yong's smooth operation was seen again, and the saber technique was so fast that it was dazzling.

In just a few moments, a plate of dark and yellowish meat like amber, as well as potato shreds, potato slices, etc., had been cut.

After all, this meal is Qin Yong's so-called agricultural feast, and the most important thing of the banquet is to show the functions and culture of potatoes and corn.

In the final analysis, it is the various ways to eat these things.

Therefore, everything is mainly corn and potatoes, and other things, such as meat, and other dishes are very few, just two or three, as supplementary.

Another big pot was put on the stove, the big bones were chopped open, the bloody foam was boiled in boiling water, and then put into the pressure cooker.

The corn cobs were cut into thick slices, thrown in together with the corn, sprinkled with seasoning, and the pot lid was set, and it was stewed directly.

Seeing that everything that should be done is almost done, the first cooking of the corn meal is enough.

Under Ying Shuang's watchful eyes, Qin Yong turned off the fire, lifted the steamer, poured out all the corn rice, and continued to break it up in the big basin.

Then there is the first step again, sprinkle water to absorb evenly, continue to disperse, keep quiet for a while, and steam again.

After a set of operations is done, start cooking.

Ying Shuang watched Qin Yong operate the modern kitchen tools and his dazzling techniques, and was immediately stunned by the shock.

He could only watch from the sidelines, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although there are many ways to eat this corn, in Qin Yong's eyes, the most mainstream and the best, the one that can be used as a staple food is steamed rice.

As for cooking, corn can only be used as a side dish after all.

Such as corn fried meat, pork ribs hot corn, drumming corn hot and so on.

The corn stew has already started. As for the cooking, Qin Yong also brought a corn fried meat, plus the last amber bacon, and the few two meats in the banquet were completed.

The next step is to make potatoes.

There are many ways to cook this potato.

Stewed potatoes, fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, dry fried potatoes, hot and sour potatoes, etc., a series of methods.

As expected, in order to show off the potato dishes, Qin Yong made more than a dozen of them.

If it weren't for the fear that people would get bored watching them, he wouldn't have a problem making dozens more.

Before I knew it, more than half an hour, almost an hour, had passed since I entered the kitchen.

Or say that making corn rice is a pastime for people with a lot of time.

For Qin Yong, it is not a problem to cook more than a dozen dishes in two quarters of an hour on weekdays, and no more than three quarters at most, that is, less than half an hour, less than an hour.

But now, as for cooking, he has to wait for the meal to finish. This process takes almost two hours.

The biggest drawback of steaming corn rice lies in this point, which is time-consuming.

During this period, Wu Ya did not come back.

Qin Yong was busy for a while, but he forgot about it.

Seeing Qin Yong picking up the rag to wipe his hands, Ying Shuang, who had been standing quietly watching, finally spoke, looked at Qin Yong with admiration and said, "Mr. Xuan Wen, is this finished?"

It has to be said that Ying Shuang at this moment was indeed impressed by Qin Yong's trick in the kitchen.

Just now, she planned to learn a thing or two, but after some operations, she found that she was purely admiring other people's craftsmanship, and when others finished, she didn't remember anything.

"It's over, please greet the princess, and get ready for dinner!"

Qin Yong took off the apron on his body, folded it and put it aside, turned around and smiled.

Ying Shuang heard this, pointed to herself, and said, "Shuang'er going?"

Qin Yong nodded and looked at Ying Shuang with a smile.

Nonsense, I came here to help, I have done so much, but the other party didn't even touch the water, so it shouldn't be too much for her to shout for dinner now!

I have to say that Ying Shuang was obedient, she didn't show any airs of a princess, she was confirmed, and she agreed to leave.

But at this moment, a person suddenly barged in from outside the kitchen, almost colliding with Ying Shuang.

"Sorry, didn't pay attention!"

The visitor hurriedly cupped his hands and didn't pay attention to Ying Shuang. His eyes were fixed on Qin Yong's face from the very beginning, and after a casual apology, he came to Qin Yong and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I have already done what you ordered. finished!"

"Just now, I ran across the entire city of Xianyang quickly. Although there is a curfew in Xianyang, but with the token of the Xianyang Order, no one dared to block me!"

"I notified all the merchants in the entire Xianyang City overnight, and told all my brother-in-law's requirements, and they all promised that within three days, all my brother-in-law's requirements will be met!"
