Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Chapter 4 Looking for ingredients

The three of them came to the kitchen and happened to meet the chef who was preparing the food. Because most of the ingredients needed to be cleaned up in the kitchen for a long time, his hands were much cleaner than others, but for Xu Tian it was no different, both Just as dirty.

In the castle, the status of the cook is higher than that of the servant, but there is still no chance to meet the lord. Even the butler needs to be cursed by him. When the butler and the lord come to him at the same time, the first reaction of the chef is not surprise, but It's the fear of whether I've done something wrong, and starts to fear punishment that doesn't exist.

"Wash your dirty hands clean."

Ok?

In a sense, the butler is really easy to use, especially when he agrees with your point of view and makes real efforts for it, the execution power is really quite strong.

Seeing the butler first threatening and then soft-spoken, watching the chef's expression change from anger to sudden realization and finally to gratitude, Xu Tian has a deep understanding of the butler's management ability, and at the same time he is satisfied to see the chef's hand slowly revealing She lost her original appearance, and then stood on the stove under the eyes of everyone.

"...My lord..."

In the silence, the housekeeper who loves cleanliness stood up with a fearless posture, hoping that their master would change his mind. The housekeeper really couldn't imagine the scene of the lord standing on the stove cooking for himself. Xu Tian's face matched the stove Taiwan is really not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.

The final result is of course a failure.

No matter how earnest the housekeeper is, Xu Tian compared his hand with the chef's hand with serious skin disease, and the housekeeper clearly understood the current situation, and finally accepted the "lord on the stove" with difficulty. set up.

"I was also a soldier in my country, and I used to cook myself."

The housekeeper's embarrassment and entanglement were naturally noticed by Xu Tian, ​​but he didn't stop what he was doing, and even started chatting casually. As for the content, it was naturally true or false.

The kitchen is much better than Xu Tian imagined, although it is still dirty, but at least there are iron pans and kitchen knives.

Well, this is also the only metal product in the kitchen. The silver tableware has a special storage room. Every time the housekeeper carefully takes out the dishes when the dishes are almost ready, and puts them back when the lord finishes eating.

Well, except for the lord who eats with silverware, everyone else has wooden bowls and wooden plates. It sounds ridiculous, but in this era, every wooden bowl is actually a big fortune, and the same goes for wooden plates , a person may only have one wooden bowl or one wooden plate in his life, and this kind of person is generally affluent among farmers.

The concept of knife and fork does not seem to have appeared, at least Xu Tian did not see this kind of thing in the previous glimpse of dark cuisine. medium.

There is much less edible food than Xu Tian imagined.

There is not much meat in the kitchen, but the meat has been hung for a long time on the door, it looks black, exclude; the birds don’t know if it is poisonous, and there is no meat, exclude; the pork is from yesterday, but Modern wild boar has a foul smell even under the thick oil sauce. Excluding...Looking around, Xu Tian sadly found that the only things he could eat were vegetables and various eggs.

The main food crops here are wheat, rye and beans.

Beans are the main crops for the poor. Rye grows for up to nine months. Except for the castle servants, it is generally eaten by rich peasants and craftsmen occasionally. The requirements are high, so it is generally used to pay taxes; there are many types of beans, but generally people only eat a mixture of lentils, peas, chickpeas and broad beans, which is the so-called mushy beans.

As for soybeans, I’m sorry, they were Chinese products in Xu Tian’s original era, and I don’t know if they are still nesting in that corner here. Xu Tian only hopes that this blurred history has not given some products that belong to China to butterflies. It would be too tragic.

Finally the lord turned his attention to vegetables.

Lettuce, cabbage, carrots, peas and lentils.

This is our lord's final choice.

Well, you can't expect a delicate girl to be as proficient as an old farmer in distinguishing various dishes, especially if she has a mother who is a good cook and lives in the takeaway era.

and many more!

Excitedly, Xu Tian turned his eyes back to the large group of birds, trying to distinguish the familiar figure that had just flashed by, and even wanted to reach in to search for it several times, but fortunately the housekeeper desperately Blocking and her clean-loving habits from modern times prevent him from moving.

The wooden spatula was used as a tool to find the animal Xu Tian wanted. After removing the bodies of three unknown yellow birds and two unknown black birds, the hungry lord finally found the familiar species—chicken!

Yes, although it is a little different from the supermarket variety when you take off your clothes, this is indeed a cute and charming meaty chicken, that's right, I just don't know if it is a rooster or a hen.

In fact, Lord Xu prefers to eat pork, but since seasonings and alcohol are luxury items, he can only follow the Romans and choose the meat that is the least error-prone and relatively light in taste for himself Add calories.

The chicken seemed to have experienced a fierce fight before it died. There was an obvious wound on its neck, and many places on its beautiful feathers were stained with blood. The noble lord decided to dedicate the honor of being a warrior to this warrior, and Let it rest in peace in its own belly.

"That's all."

After a long (actually at most 3 minutes) selection, the lord finally stopped looking. The caring butler found a little girl from nowhere. She looked very thin, but her hands were rare and clean—— Skin diseases and various packages can be seen everywhere.

I praised the butler's thoughtfulness in my heart, and instructed the servants and the chef to fetch water together—at this time, Xu Tian knew that there was a well in the castle, and most of their domestic water was well water.

The chef didn't have any objections. After being brainwashed by the steward, he recognized his position by looking at his hands. In fact, it was a gift that the lord didn't drive him out, and he didn't suffer.

The lord also said that he does not need to make his own food until his hands are raised, but other people's food still needs to be prepared. The housekeeper actually wanted to object at the beginning, and Xu Tian said "his hands are better than yours" He retreated directly in the words.

Yes, although the chef's hands are still not up to the standard for cooking for Xu Tian, ​​most people in this era really don't pay so much attention to it, and compared to other people, chefs are people who often come into contact with water, and their skin condition As long as it doesn't compare to the lord, it's good.

Most importantly, Xu Tian didn't plan to cook the whole castle's meals by himself.

The girl has a name that is almost rotten on the street, Mary. Xu Tian's first reaction when he heard it was the worker who saved the princess. skin is good.

Xu Tian expressed a warm welcome to Mary's arrival. After all, as an exquisite pig girl, a young man in contemporary society who often doesn't even bother to buy semi-finished products from supermarkets, she really doesn't have much interest in dealing with this pile of raw ingredients. Big, but because there is a father who is a cook in the castle, he often helps her father in the kitchen to mix food. Although most of the time he just helps wash the vegetables, but when there is a banquet, he has to help handle the meat. up.

Of course, maybe her hands are whiter because of washing too many vegetables, who knows about this kind of thing.

Always, the picky lord has a barely usable underling, the chef didn't lose his position, and his youngest daughter got into the lord's eyes because of this incident. It can be said that everyone is happy.

The fire licked the bottom of the iron pot, and some water was boiling in the pot. The heroic chicken had already been disembowelled by the girl. The movement was not too skilled but very careful, ensuring that she would not be injured to the greatest extent, and Mary Her lack of proficiency is only in comparison with her father, and compared with Xu Tian, ​​it's another world.

"stop!"

Seeing Mary pouring the internal organs into a small wooden basin, and reaching out to pluck the chicken feathers, Xu Tian finally spoke, and the girl stopped immediately, with an emotion called fear brewing in her eyes. Her father was looking at her with a serious face, and Mary would cry out on the spot.

"You're doing great, I just have a better way of getting feathers."

Xu Tian squatted down and looked at Mary, and explained the reason in the most peaceful tone.The girl saw her figure reflected in the noble lord's eyes, saw the lord's clean hair, fair skin, and starry eyes, and suddenly had a desire to hide herself.

Mary didn't know until a long time later that this feeling is called inferiority complex.

It will take a while for the water in the pot to boil. The pork that was newly hung in the kitchen was removed, and two pieces of precious fat the size of mahjong were cut off. This was almost all the fat on that piece of pork, but Xu Tian had no choice, after all, he couldn't find any other way to get the oil for a while.

It will take a while for the water in the pot to boil, so Xu Tian simply took advantage of this short time to do a simple sanitation promotion, of course, it is the medieval version, after all, he does not want to be sent by the flames to see the unknown existence host.

"These are a disease."

Xu Tian pointed to the various skin diseases on the butler's hands, defined them in an unquestionable tone, successfully made the butlers change their faces, and only when they were sure that they paid enough attention to what he said, did they take the following sentence slowly talk.

"But they're pretty much everyone's, and most of the time they're fine."

The cook is also preparing the food, but he is clearly eavesdropping, as are the servants and Mary.
