Chapter 78

Food is the most important thing for the people.A great interstellar migration led to the disappearance of food types, which led to the profession of chef gradually being lost in history - it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and even the best chef cannot make delicious food without ingredients. In addition, the invention of nutritional supplements , the chef became useless.It wasn't until 300 years ago that the profession of chef appeared in front of people again and gained a lofty status - if you take nutritional supplements with every meal, can you still survive after eating for thousands of years?Even if you give them a bowl of rice porridge, people in the future will think it is extremely delicious.People who can become chefs are born into big families. Only big families will retain even a little bit of information about cooking.That's why the chef's status is so high. Those who can eat the dishes cooked by the chef are all from wealthy families. Ordinary people, hehe, can choose any nutritional supplement of various flavors.

The fat man and the thin man were knocked unconscious by the pie that was suddenly thrown down. Bai Tang slapped them on the back of the head: "There is no future! Peel the potatoes for me."

"Potatoes?" The fat man's eyes flashed, "Sister, do you want to make Tiancan potatoes?"

The silkworm potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes were the best delicacies he and the skinny man had ever eaten. After so many days, they still had endless aftertastes, and the thought of them made their mouth water uncontrollably.

"Call me boss, don't call me big sister, I'm not from the underworld." Baitang gave the fat man a white look.

"Boss!" The fat man and the thin man immediately changed their words.

"Ceremonial potatoes?" Fei Jie pointed at Baitang, "The star network said that there are two special delicacies on Gate Star, roasted sweet potatoes and silkworm potatoes. Could it be that you made them?"

"Of course our boss made it!" The fat man said proudly, as if the person Fei Jie was talking about was him. "The thin man and I have both eaten roasted sweet potatoes and celestial silkworm potatoes. They are so delicious!"

Fatty slipped out and sucked. Fatty slipped out and sucked his saliva: "After eating these two kinds of food, I realized that what I ate before was all pig food."

Fei Jie immediately became star-eyed: "Miss Bai, please feed the silkworm potatoes!"

"No pursuit!" Bai Tang snorted, "The Tiancan potatoes are just a snack. Today I will teach the two of them how to make a feast."

"Feast?"

"A dish of stewed pork ribs with potatoes, and a dish of braised pork!"

Everyone's mouth was watering.

"Fatty, go and peel the potatoes, skinny, come here, I'll teach you how to make braised pork first." Baitang said as he took out the seasoning box from the package, and took out all the seasonings to be used.

"Before you cook, you need to know the seasonings. You have to learn them carefully, otherwise you will regret the dish if you add the wrong seasoning."

The thin man nodded seriously.

"This is rock sugar, which is extracted from sugar cane and beets." Baitang stuffed one into the thin man's mouth, and the sweet taste immediately conquered the thin man.

"What are sugar cane and beet?" asked the thin man eagerly.

"It's a new species I discovered on the ancient earth, and the ZF will promote planting in a hurry in the future."

Baitang took out the soy sauce bottle and vinegar together, and asked the thin man to taste each.

"Soy sauce and vinegar can't be distinguished from the outside, but they have completely different tastes. You can smell the sourness of vinegar. Vinegar is fermented from rice and sorghum, while soy sauce is made from soybeans." Thin Man He knew rice, but he didn't know what sorghum and soybeans were. He didn't ask Baitang, knowing that these two must be new species discovered by Baitang.

He also gave the thin man a taste of ginger, nutmeg, star anise, chili pepper, bay leaves, cinnamon and chicken essence, but no need for salt. There will be no shortage of salt in the future world.Bai Tang asked Shouzi to take a piece of fat and thin meat with skin from the freezer - it was not pork. There were many types of meat in the future world, many of which Bai Tang was unfamiliar with.

Bai Tang did not do it himself, but only gave instructions to the thin man: first wash the pork belly with skin and put it in a pot of boiling water, take it out for a while, cut it into medium-sized pieces, and put it in the pot of boiling water again to drain away the blood. , take out and drain the water; add a little oil in the pot, add rock sugar and soy sauce and cook over medium heat until the sugar bubbles, then add green onions and ginger juice, pour in cooking wine and stir-fry until fragrant; add pork belly and stir-fry evenly Continue to stir-fry until every piece of meat is colored. Pour out the fat from the pork belly. Fill the pot with an appropriate amount of water, add bay leaves, cinnamon, etc., sprinkle with a little salt and bring to a boil over high heat. , turn to low fire.

The rich aroma filled the small space, and everyone swallowed their saliva.

"Baitang, can I eat?" Kate walked to the cooking counter and asked.

"Wait, it's still early!" Baitang turned to the skinny man after speaking, "Keep it on low heat for an hour and a half, and wait for the soup to thicken before starting the pot!"

"Yes!" The thin man replied respectfully, his eyes flashing with unconcealed gratitude, joy and disbelief: Did he make such fragrant dishes?
"Boss, boss, I've peeled the potatoes!" The fat man quickly came to Bai Tang's side and held it in front of Bai Tang flatteringly.This guy worked very hard, peeling the skin thinly and cleanly.

"Then cut the potatoes into pieces!" Bai Tang asked the thin man to put out the seasoning box. "You learn from the thin man about the seasonings. Let him consolidate and teach you at the same time."

Soon after, potatoes and pork ribs were simmering on the fire. While waiting for the vegetables to cook, Bai Tang taught the fat man and the thin man how to make noodles.

"There are many ways to eat noodles. Today we eat soup noodles and tomorrow we will eat fried noodles..." Bai Tang taught the two novice chefs how to eat noodles. The fat man and the thin man listened carefully and simply recorded Bai Tang's words. Listened and learned repeatedly.

"Chiliu—" the voice of drooling interrupted Baitang's narration.

When Baitang turned her head, she saw Kate and the three of them drooling around her. Seeing her turn her head, Kate immediately asked, "Can we eat now?"

The space is full of meaty aroma mixed with unknown aroma, no wonder they can't help it, it's so fragrant, it stimulates them to salivate constantly, they want to eat but can't eat, suffering!

"We have to wait another half an hour!" Baitang looked at the time.

The shoulders of the three people slumped: "Wait still? We are all hungry!"

"Are you hungry or hungry?"

"Hehe." The three people smiled sheepishly.

"Boss, I'm hungry too, why don't we have a bowl of noodle soup first?" Fatty suggested cautiously, knowing that he suffered more than the three of Kate, so he just stood by the pot, The smell went straight to his nose.

"How can you make noodle soup without broth?" Bai Tang's words made all five people hang their heads in disappointment.

"But-" A turning point made the five people raise their heads again and look at Bai Tang expectantly.

"You can make lo mein." Baitang said her decision with a smile.

"Oh yeah -" was greeted by cheers from five people.

The five people couldn't get enough of the meal, and they licked every plate and bowl shiny.

"It's delicious! I finally understand what the colonel said about 'we used to eat pig food'." Fei Jie held his stomach, "Baitang, please open your shop as soon as possible! lest after separation, I don't want to If you know what to eat, you will starve yourself to death!"

"Exaggeration!" Bai Tang laughed, but she was very happy that Fe Jie was so supportive. Even more happy than she was the fat man and the thin man.From the moment they took their first bite of braised pork and potato ribs, the two of them were in a trance as if they were in a dream.They couldn't believe that they made such delicious food. The fat man even cried while eating. They were no longer useless, they were also very capable, and they could make delicious things...

"I agree with Fei Jie's words. He is not exaggerating at all. Baitang, you have to open the store quickly." The steady Simon helped Fei Jie speak, he was completely conquered by the food.

"Baitang, don't bother with the store's problem, I can help you solve it." Kate patted her chest and took care of everything. Although Sean's family is a military family, they also have businesses in other industries, "I asked my cousin to work in A The district will reserve a shop for you."

Unlike the Earth in the 21st century, which is divided into many countries and cities, the Capital Star has only one city, which is so big that it covers the entire planet's cities.The city is divided into seven areas: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Area A is where the alliance government is located. Area B has the best environment and is where high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen live. Area G has the worst environment. The equivalent of a slum.

"Can your cousin help me find a store in Area E? I want to open two stores, one is a high-end restaurant for wealthy people, and the other is a snack bar that ordinary people can afford!"

"I've been meaning to ask you, what's a snack?" Kate asked.

"Snacks, snacks are a general term for a type of food with a specific style of taste. It was originally used as an embellishment between banquets or as the main food for breakfast and supper." Baitang recalled the definition of snacks on Du Niang, "Ancient Earth There are many countries and regions in Shanghai, and each region has a variety of snacks, which vary according to local customs, with distinctive characteristics and unique flavors. Snacks are made from local materials, which can highlight the local material culture and social life. , is an indispensable and important feature of a region...Noodles are a kind of snacks, and there are various types of noodles according to regions, such as Huaxia's BJ mixed sauce noodles, Lanzhou ramen, Sichuan dandan noodles, and Shaanxi oil-splashed noodles , Yangchun noodles from Yangzhou, etc., as well as udon noodles from Neon Country, cold noodles from Bangzi Country, and pasta... In addition to noodles, there are buns, dumplings, wontons, various snacks, and various side dishes... A few days ago The roasted sweet potatoes and silkworm potatoes I made also belong to the category of snacks!"

"Oh, Baitang, you said I want to eat again!" Kate wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

Baitang's eyes fell on his swollen belly: "Can you still eat?"

Kate rubbed her stomach and was discouraged: "Why is my appetite so small?"

Still young?The five of you ate enough for ten people!

Baitang slandered: "I'll keep teaching them how to cook for the next few days, and it will definitely make you enjoy eating!"
