Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Condiments such as onion, ginger, and garlic were not seen. Fennel, rosemary, and lavender were not something Xu Tian, ​​a kitchen rookie, could play around with. Looking at the pile of chicken on the table, Xu Tian finally chose the simplest and least seasoning stew.

The lettuce and egg drop soup has been made into a large pot and scooped out. Pour cold water into the pot and put the chicken directly into the pot. Don’t even think about washing rice water to remove salt and salt water. Don't even think about it, there is no cooking wine here, and wine is useless. This barren reality is enough to make any modern person who comes from growing flowers cry bitterly.

But it still hurts.

Xu Tian couldn't help but think about it while handling the chicken. What he didn't notice was that the three housekeepers all came over silently and listened carefully to every word he said. The more they listened, the more they couldn't stop curious.

Their lord came from an ancient eastern empire. At first they only listened to it as a joke, but when they saw the lord, they realized that it might be true. Many, for example, there are many things they just said that they don't understand, but they are not disorganized, but have a special rhythm, which is weird and pleasant to them.

"Lord, what is ginger?"

Seeing that Xu Tian's movements stopped, the housekeeper finally couldn't help but speak. The other words came from the language of this land, only the word "ginger" was in Chinese. Although the pronunciation was still weird, it could be seen that the housekeeper had tried his best. up.

"Increase the fire."

Xu Tian's hand trembled, and the silver plate used to hold the chicken almost didn't fall into the pot. Fortunately, Lord Xu's control was not bad, and the tragedy of chicken stewed on the silver plate did not happen.

Calmly gave the order to the chef first. After all, there was still a tidal step that had not been completed. The lord put the plate in a safe place before turning around to answer the butler's question. After all, he wanted people to learn Mandarin in the future. The age of the butler It's so big, if you don't study in advance, you will soon be left behind.

Silently memorized the learning courses that would cause his leaders to complain incessantly in the future, Xu Tian looked at the old man with gray hair, and tried hard to think of words that could be understood by the housekeeper to explain, the language here was already With its own basic system, the state of Shili different sounds has not changed, and it is very long.

Sure enough, it is better to promote Chinese to the world.

"Ginger is a medicinal herb in my country."

"What is the medicine.

...is something that can heal..."

"...No, no, not that kind... He can also be used as a seasoning..."

"...Action?...Usually we use it to treat baldness, that is, there is no hair on the head...and there is cough and...ah...yes, that's it..."

"What is a seasoning? ... just to make something taste better..."

"...Yes, it is also useful for women to drink when they bleed every month, but it must be paired with other things..."

Xu Tian felt deep regret for his previous thoughts. The housekeeper’s questions were endless one after another. From the moment the water was just put into the pot to the bloody water, and finally at the moment when the chicken soup was boiled and salted, he didn’t finish asking. My head was going bald, and what was even more frightening was that even the chef's eyes were getting brighter, waiting for the housekeeper to finish asking him to continue.

"stop!"

Hunger and the smell of food finally made Xu Tian's patience reach the limit. He roared angrily, and there was no sound in the kitchen except the movement of the pot. Seeing the butler shrinking to the ground like a quail, Xu Tian felt that My head hurts even more.

"Wait until I finish eating."

The world is big, the food is the biggest!

God knows how terrifying the butler's thoughts can be. This damn old man's eyes lit up terribly after he knew that ginger can cure hair loss. The eyes he looked at Xu Tian somehow made people think of people who have been hungry for a few days when they see meat. .

Xu Tian avoided the housekeeper's sight with a stiff face. The chicken in the pot was ready. Although only a little bit of bitter salt was added, it completely exuded its own fragrance. Lord Xu's tableware only had one set of plates. The chicken soup is obviously undrinkable.Most of the chicken was scooped up and put on the plate, but there was still shredded meat that couldn't be scooped up and rolled up and down with the soup. The kind lord blinked and decided to leave the soup and meat for those who were already secretly swallowing at the kitchen and the kitchen door. This group of people who drool.

"You split up."

Xu Tian pointed to the pot of soup, opened his mouth, and each of them shared two pieces of raw chicken with relatively more meat.

The pot in the castle is much bigger than the pot at home. The chicken that Xu Tian ate was only the part with a lot of meat stewed, and he gave up the rest. According to the rules, those lords who don’t eat it can be divided among the lower levels. , but must be allowed by the lord in advance.

"Remember how I did it?"

When the three people in the kitchen were dazzled by the surprise, Xu Tian turned to the chef. His obsidian-like eyes were pure and cold, which made the chef wake up instantly.

"Remember, my lord."

Subconsciously lowered his head, and answered respectfully, his tone could not hide the humility and a little fear, a short period of time is not enough to change people's influence on the lord, not to mention that the chef was punished several times by the previous lord because of the dishes. .

"These--"

The lord pointed to the chicken's neck, head, and buttocks, which had just been given up and partly divided. His tone was as cold as ever, but the servants gave a little cheer that couldn't hide their joy.

"You do it, everyone has to eat it."

Eating meat was a luxury for the poor in ancient times, no matter in China or abroad, but the time interval may be once in a lifetime or even once in a lifetime.

The previous baron lived a luxurious life but never wasted it. The meat must be gnawed clean, and the smaller bones must be chewed and swallowed. Only the big bones are licked from the beginning to the end until there is no more squeezed out. It is unbelievable in Xu Tian's eyes that the taste will be used as a tool of kindness by his subordinates, but it is indeed a very normal thing here. Most people regard gnawing on the bones given by the master as a kind of glory. here.

But Xu Tian can't.

One is that he can’t eat a piece of unseasoned chicken by himself. Didn’t you see that he didn’t even take away the chicken soup? Although objective conditions account for a large part of the factor, the most important thing is that he doesn’t like it; secondly...

Seeing that even the housekeeper looks skinny, Xu Tian is really embarrassed to take it all by himself.

The life here is more cruel than Xu Tian imagined, and the people in the castle are already living a good life, at least they will not starve to death, and occasionally they can eat as much as they want, even if they eat unknown mush .

This castle is not too big, and there are only about fifty servants in it, both men and women. In fact, Xu Tian felt blushed when so many people shared a chicken. After all, it looks too shabby, can one person It might even be possible to eat a piece of meat, but that's not the case in the eyes of others.

"Put more water, don't worry about adding too much salt."

After thinking about it, Xu Tian issued another order that stunned everyone. After all, in this society where five spoonfuls of salt can be exchanged for a healthy hen, this is equivalent to giving silver coins to the servants.

Seeing everyone's weird faces, Xu Tian blinked, and carefully looked through his memory.

Oh, it seems too extravagant.

Of course, this is based on the eyes of this era.

"You have a lot to do this afternoon."

Xu Tian thought for a while, and added a sentence later, and at the same time suppressed his aching conscience silently, then the corners of his eyes twitched to see that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was finally full of normal gratitude Feelings.

It's been too hard.

For some reason, Xu Tian's eyes became wet.

But he didn't say anything anymore, he just walked out through the door slowly, and the servants respectfully made way for him, with their heads bent below their waists.

The taste of the chicken is just like that, there is always a frowning taste when there is no aniseed, Xu Tian reluctantly eats it, and misses the modern times of thick oil and red sauce in his heart.

By the way, the lord still didn't have a knife and fork. When Xu Tian was sure that he couldn't find a tool to make suitable chopsticks for a while, he could only wash his hands with well water several times, and then started to grab them with his hands wildly. One meal, and silently vowed in my heart that I must make a pair of chopsticks before dinner, no matter how simple they are.

After eating, Xu Tian washed his hands and left the table. He didn't want to find out what to do with the leftover bones and soup. He just asked the housekeeper to wash his tableware with hot water before dinner, including the pot.

The castle where more than 50 people live has only one iron pot, and this is not a symbol of poverty, because although the previous owner liked to enjoy it, he also knew the importance of force, and let the blacksmiths make weapons and armor without affecting himself After all, he actually eats barbecue most of the time, and iron pans are rarely used.

As for the servants... Sorry, in the eyes of the nobles, only the nobles are human beings, and the dogs of the nobles have more status than his servants. After all, most of the time his dogs can eat bones that the Baron cannot chew, while the servants can only eat bones. It is mushy, and even brings earthy vegetables to satisfy the hunger. If an iron pot is enough for the servants, what does it have to do with the noble lord?

Today's Mary is very happy, the new lord has come, not only gave her a very delicious food, but also allowed her and her father to go back with a big bowl of broth.

A big bowl of broth!

Even though she was a chef's child, she had only tasted meat once when she was so old, and that was when her mother was sick, and her father risked his life to cut a piece of meat the size of a fingernail from a deer, and then secretly took it home to roast it, and then Divide it into three parts for her, brother and mother to eat. In those few days, she was always worried about whether she would be discovered, because the lord had hanged a servant who dared to steal bones to eat before, and what they stole was not bones, but meat .

Fortunately, all is well.

Mary looked at the broth in the wooden bowl and took a small sip. The warm feeling spread from her mouth to her stomach. For some reason, salty water remained in the corner of her eyes.

Mom will definitely like to drink it too...
