Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Lou Lan'er hated the bullying of the weak by the powerful.

But the little bully was beaten to the ground, still looking like he was going to take revenge.

There was just a "click" sound. She didn't stop for a moment, and with such force, she stepped on the bully's calf and broke it.

"Ouch! It hurts me so much, Heroine, stop it..."

Seeing him begging for mercy, Lou Laner let go of his hand. The bully was supported by his entourage and left in a panic.

"Girl, it's okay. We bought all your flowers. Go home quickly."

Mao Xi knelt down, took some money to the girl, and sent her away.

This girl looks like she is only eleven or twelve years old. It is not easy to make a living by selling food at such a young age.

Originally, everyone wanted to go to a song and dance performance, but this little bully made a scene, which greatly disappointed them.

The flower girl pulled on Mao Xi's sleeve, her body shaking constantly.

It wasn't until everyone sent her home that they let go of Shu Xi.

"Ah Shu, it's time for us to go to my mother-in-law's house for dinner." Lou Lan'er was hungry, so she urged everyone to leave.

The old woman and her son Xiaoluotou had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, the highlight of which was grilled mutton skewers and hand-picked rice.

The little carrot head grabbed two large skewers of meat with both hands and turned them over the open fire.

The meat skewers dance in the flames, without being coated with a layer of oil, and are completely grilled over an open fire.

This skillful technique and precise control of the heating intensity allow each skewer of barbecue to be baptized by flames.

During this period, Xiaoluobo took the meat skewers away from the flame twice and sprinkled them with cumin and pepper seasonings.

How can kebabs be without chili powder? It's just that at present, chili pepper is only popular in the south because of millet. The north has not yet come into contact with this spice.

When no one was paying attention, Ma Xi slipped into her own space and took a bag of dried dried chilies she had stored.

The quantity was not large, and the volume was only half the size of a luggage. Others were not surprised when they saw it, and thought it was Mao Xi who planned to come to the north to sell it.

Only Mu Zhiyuan was watching, feeling like a mirror in his heart: Ah Shu couldn't hold back anymore and entered her space to bring out food.

Mao Xi took a stone mortar and used a stone hammer to grind a whole bag of dried chilies into chili powder.

The bright red chili peppers and chili seeds were ground into extremely fine powder. Mao Xi couldn't hold back and sneezed wildly.

When Little Carrot Head took the whole handful of barbecue skewers away from the flame for the third time, Mao Xi grabbed a handful of chili powder and sprinkled it on.

The little carrot head looked at Ma Xi in confusion: "Sister, what kind of seasoning are you using now? Does it smell so delicious?"

"Brother, you'll know the taste later when you taste it. It's more exciting than Sichuan peppercorns."

After the kebabs were cooked, everyone rushed to eat them first.

The meat skewers had just been removed from the flame, and the meat was still moist with oil. The strong aroma of cumin powder and chili powder made the mutton less fishy.

After one bite, the mutton is soft and tender, and there are bursts of aroma of charcoal fire. This is the smell of fireworks in the world.

Mao Xi had to sigh that the kebabs made by Xiaoluotou tasted more authentic than the meat grilled at her Liuxiang Snack Shop.

Not only does the mutton taste authentic, but the portion is more than three times the size of the kebabs she sells.

A kebab is as long as her arm, and each piece of meat is as thick as two fingers. Is this enough?

Miao Xi has a little bird's stomach, and she is full after eating just one bunch.

Mu Zhiyuan's favorite is mutton, and he has eaten three skewers of mutton in a row.

The old lady was in the kitchen preparing the last dessert: nut-cut cake.

She took a bunch of purple grapes and asked the little carrot head to help squeeze the juice.

The process of juicing uses the most primitive method, crushing with a wooden hammer and filtering the juice with gauze.

The filtered grape juice was boiled in the pot until it was thick, and the old woman generously poured in a whole jar of honey.

"A bunch of grapes, a jar of honey..." The abacus in Mao Xi's heart began to crackle, and she wanted to calculate how much it would cost to cut the whole cake.

Before time travel, people often heard rumors that a villa can be built with just one slice of cake. Although it is an exaggeration, people who have bought it will complain that it costs hundreds of dollars per slice, so the cost is going to skyrocket.

When the honey boils into small bubbles, start to turn off the heat, pour in various nuts such as walnuts, and stir evenly.

Finally, pour it into a square mold. While the cut cake is still hot, put dried fruits and nuts on top, and press it tightly.

"Walnuts, batan wood, dried almonds, raisins, red dates..."

The old woman only made about three kilograms of cut cake, which cost about 150 Wen, so the cost per kilogram was close to 50 Wen.

Mainly walnuts, honey and dried fruits are expensive.

Little Luobotou and the old woman cut the cake into small pieces and invited everyone to taste it.

This syrup made of honey and grape juice has the aroma of grapes. It is a one-piece cake with walnuts and other dried fruits. It is delicate and sweet, but not sticky to the teeth.

You can see the shape of the food in every bite, which is an original delicacy.

However, Mao Xi didn't plan to bring her back to sell Liuxiang snacks, mainly because the cost price was indeed a bit high. It would be good to make one at home for the occasional holiday to entertain guests.

Inspired by the cut cake, Mao Xi thought she could make some steamed glutinous rice cut cake with red dates and raisins in the shop.

Using glutinous rice instead of walnuts and other nuts reduces the cost a lot, and the taste is more in line with Lingnan.

The old woman had not finished eating the remaining half of the cut cake, so she packed it for Lou Lan'er and gave two bags of nuts and raisins to Mao Xi.

"Girl, you guys can eat on the way, I have a lot more here, all dried at home."

It was embarrassing for Mao Xi to eat at her mother-in-law's house and take food with her.

She always gives something to express her feelings.

Mao Xi had already brought out an extra bag of dried chili peppers from the space in advance, as well as a bag of different varieties of chili pepper seeds, and gave them to the old woman.

"Mother-in-law, these are pepper seeds. After they are sown, the peppers that grow can be used for stir-fry or hand-made rice."

After returning to the inn, everyone was still not satisfied with the mutton skewers served by the old lady.

Mo Xia suggested: "Lou Lan'er, let's find the best local restaurant tomorrow morning and go back after dinner. I haven't had enough of this mutton skewer and I want to try it again."

"That's a good idea. I also want to see what delicious food the restaurants here sell."

Early the next morning, when paying the bill, Shu Xi asked the innkeeper about the best restaurant in Beisu.

"Sir, the most delicious restaurant we have here is called [Beisu No. 1 Fragrance], but the food sold is much more expensive than ordinary restaurants. It only entertains wealthy businessmen and officials. Are you sure you want to go?"

Mu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "The best fragrance in Beisu! This name has gained such confidence, I am a little interested. Shopkeeper, what is the signature dish of this restaurant?"

The innkeeper cleared his throat and said, "The signature dish is said to be cooked by the restaurant owner himself, and it's called [Steamed Lamb]."
