Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Xu Tian didn't know that because of his casual sentence, a girl completely lost hope in the family. He is busy trying to ferment chicken manure, and the housekeeper is trying to stop his whimsical ideas. After all, using clay pots that can be exchanged for money To pretend to be Yoneda, and then feed it to pigs... emmm, he must stop the lord from doing this!

The pig manure-feeding chicken experiment was forced to go bankrupt by the housekeeper. Xu Tian expressed regret for this, but the housekeeper secretly heaved a sigh of relief—he did not deny that the things the lord did were meaningful, but some things that exceeded the bottom line Things still need to be controlled.

And Lord Xu smiled when he returned to the room—in a sense, this matter was just his whim. What he really wanted was to give it to the possibly the first barrow in history here. Just a good meal for a few days.

Xu Tian couldn't help grinning sillily when he thought that after the success of the experimental piglet, he would have white lard and a big fat pig that was neither flamboyant nor smelly - he really really didn't want to eat white boiled eggs anymore!

After the new plow came out, Xu Tian felt a little more relaxed. He also fiddled with small tools like rakes and hoes. Brightly taught him to shut up and focus on his work. After all, Xu Tian was not short of money and he was not stingy. He didn't want to lose this good job in all aspects.

It was almost lunch time, Xu Tian felt his stomach that had been deflated but still had no appetite, sighed and walked to the kitchen.Recently, he always touches two eggs in the kitchen for breakfast and adds a cup of boiled milk. At noon and night, he just talks about it on paper. He made big plate chicken with braised pork, Cantonese-style sausage, and sizzling sea bass, but it was already considered a delicacy compared to the dark dishes he tasted on the first day and made the chef proud.

After all, no matter how Xu Tian is an only child, he grew up in a big food empire. He can barely bear to eat boiled eggs without knowing the nature of the ingredients, but he still eats dark dishes when he knows it. This is something that no normal person can eat. will make it.

There is no oil, salt is scarce and bitter, there are only a few recognizable vegetables, and there is no way to eat meat.

The chef and his daughter have already waited here. Broad beans and chickpeas taste average when boiled, but peas should taste better... Seeing the peas that are only half the size of modern times, Xu Tian thought hesitantly.

Eggs are a versatile partner. Whether it’s leeks, shallots or peas and rice, it can become good friends with them. Today Xu Tian is too lazy to make all kinds of troubles. If you change the soup without changing the medicine, you have a pea and egg soup. A few days ago, they were lentils Egg soup and egg soup with chickpeas, and egg soup with broad beans.

There is not much salt left. The previous lord was extravagant and wasteful. In addition, there is a lot of activity outside, and the price of salt is rising every year. Now, a bag of finely ground wheat flour can only be exchanged for the bottom of a bag of salt, Xu Tian He is seriously considering whether to get some salt out of the soil. After all, he doesn't want to turn a stone mill for three days but only get the salt he eats in one day-you know, he does it most of the time. Soup, the kind that doesn't put much salt in it.

The peas have been washed by the little girl, and the green beans look much better against the dark pottery.But Xu Tian has calmed down after the soup these days. After all, broad beans, lentils, and chickpeas were just as good-looking before. Now Xu Tian will not be fooled by these beautiful appearances, and the taste is the most important thing.

The water was boiled, and the beans were poured in. Xu Tian yawned lazily, and then went out slowly. The stuffed beans a few days ago had already told him how tenacious and unyielding the Bean Army was in the face of the sea of ​​fire. It takes patience to get the deliciousness.

Xu Tian licked his lips, thinking of the pea rib soup that he drank in modern times, he swallowed subconsciously... After that, he had no hope for pea soup, after all, as a race that loves meat and dislikes, no amount of eggs can satisfy it. Make up for the natural shortcoming of not having meat.

The fresh meat here has not grown yet, and Xu Tian gave all the dried meat to the knight without hesitation—the taste can only be said to be unbearable, Xu Tian simply tried it and decided to wait for the pig with drooling mouth. Goats and chickens grow up, or go out of their way to spend days running to places where they wear high heels so they don't get caught in the shit, to buy fresh meat.

The latter is impossible, and the former will take time, so today is also a day for the honorable Lord Xu to be a vegetarian.

Sighing a little melancholy, Xu Tian thought in his heart that he would have to use the stinky parchment for a few days to find the limestone, whether the grain rented by the freemen for farm tools was reasonable, and the long process of making acorn powder... Then he was arrested. A timid voice woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he met a timid face, "My lord, the time is up..."

The cook's daughter has a beautiful child's voice, which makes the chef proud and grateful-boys with a good voice must enter the temple and become eunuchs, otherwise they will be disrespectful to the Lord.

"Ok."

Xu Tian remembered that he had told the little girl that if he did not show up after counting the number he stipulated, the little girl would come out and call him, and then...

"thank you very much."

Xu Tian grabbed some beans from his pocket and seriously counted ten of them for the little girl, not one more and one less.

This is agreed upon.

The peas had changed color, and when they were gently turned with a spatula, they seemed to be ripe, but Xu Tian decided not to be fooled by the appearance, and let them stay in the tumbling waves for 60 seconds before cracking an egg ——I have to complain that the eggs here are only two-thirds the size of the first-born native eggs of country hens.

The chopsticks that have been boiled in boiling water for a long time are taken out, and the egg yolks are precisely pierced into the egg yolk before the egg liquid is formed, and then slowly rotate along the pot. The white ones and the yellow ones are really pretty, and the scent of peas is slowly wafting out, but the three-color soups are not inconsistent, as if they were born this way, beans and eggs Just swim in the water.

It's a pity that there is less meat.

Xu Tian secretly underestimated, took out a small piece of salt, threw it into the soup, stirred it, then scooped it up with the still ugly and distinctive ceramic spoon and poured it into his special bowl. This is the only thing he saw in the kitchen. The soup spoon was specially made by the slaves. Although the image is still not flattering, I have to admit that it is easy to use.

A soup spoon is a soup spoon, rather than a bowl with a stick. Although the modern soup spoon is actually a bowl with a stick, the spoon here is mighty and domineering, so ugly that it is difficult to look directly at it, but The weight of Xu Tian's pottery bowl can be strangely compounded - the spoon is put into the pot and then out, Xu Tian's bowl is just full, there is not even a little extra space.

Lord Xu: ...

Today's Lord Xu still left with his cup. There was some soup left in the pot. The chef gently scooped it up and put it into the pottery bowl dedicated to his daughter. The servants who gathered here consciously after the Lord left No one raised any doubts, just looked at the pot with a few traces of egg flower with extremely hot eyes, waiting for the chef to pour water into it, and then drink their mushy lunch, and the lucky ones will have a trace of egg flower.

The cook handed less than half of the pottery bowl to his daughter, and asked her to go out and drink it first to avoid arousing jealousy. This soup was earned by the daughter by virtue of her own ability, and it was promised by the lord himself. No matter what the other servants Envy, jealousy and hatred are useless. After all, although this lord is generous, he is not kind without a bottom line.

The daughter's hands are white and clean. You can't find such a pair of clean hands in the entire castle. This is the daughter's ability. The lord's food is only touched by his daughter except the lord himself. This is the capital and confidence of the daughter... At least That's until the second guy with clean hands comes out.

The chef here is full of thoughts while making mush, but his little daughter is enjoying the food happily, but she just stopped after drinking a little bit, holding the bowl and obediently waiting for her father to come out—the pottery bowl It belongs to the daughter, but she has no right to take it out of the castle. If she wants to enjoy this soup with her family, she can only wait for the father who is the chef to finish cooking, and then take it back in a wooden bowl.

This is the first time that the youngest daughter brought back the soup left by the lord. Because of Xu Tian's various mistakes before, the soup left every time was only like a shovel, and it only covered the bottom of a bowl when it dripped into the bowl. Even a daughter with such a small mouth can drink it dry in one gulp, so the chef just let it cool in the shovel, and then let the daughter raise her head and open her mouth to drink it.

Of course, the shovel would never dare to touch her daughter's mouth directly. The chef knows it with his butt. Even the spatula he touched Xu Tian had to scald it with boiling water before he dared to touch it every time he cooked. It's just a hand, if it's a mouth... The chef trembled, not daring to think about it.

Xu Tian didn't know that there was a little girl waiting to share the joy with her family, so he took the bowl all the way back to the room, and then took out his chopsticks to pick up a very beautiful pea.

The peas should have been thoroughly stewed, Xu Tian squeezed out a groove in the middle with his chopsticks, blew off the heat and put it into his mouth, and wiped it off with a light sip. The faint sweetness made Xu Tian happy He narrowed his eyes, and stuck his chopsticks in again.

This time the soup was very successful. The peas were cooked but not mushy, and the egg was entangled on the side. It also had the same taste that melted in a sip, but it formed a new taste with the peas, which was light but lingering.

I decided to make pea soup for the next few days.

Xu Tian took small sips of the light green soup, feeling the natural delicacy, and had to admit——

The freshest ingredients require only the simplest cooking methods...
