Unlimited Food Plan

Aunt Mary was frightened and froze in place for an instant.

Holding the precious seasoning in her hand, she dared not move for a while, Aunt Mary could only say hello reflexively: "Good day, dear Mr. Charlie, do you have any orders?"

Du Changqiu quickly saw what seasoning Aunt Mary was holding. It was a very famous seasoning in the Middle Ages - saffron.

Saffron originated in southwestern Asia and the eastern Mediterranean coast. It was first used as a pigment by cavemen. According to later generations, patterns drawn by cavemen with saffron were found in caves. Some scholars infer that it may have been used as a color on hunters in the early days. Paints and decorative paints.

Afterwards, the medicinal function of saffron was discovered, and it began to become one of the medicines. In addition, human beings believed that saffron was a flower grown in the land where God stepped, and it had a divinity that other flowers did not have. So for a while Saffron is even used as a first aid or some sort of tonic.

If you know a little about ancient Western history, you will find that saffron has almost run through the corners of ancient European history.

From ancient Greece to ancient Rome, and continued to the Middle Ages, from the stone wall more than 5 years ago to the present Kansai, saffron is also an expensive seasoning,? It is also a precious aromatherapy, or a dye, and it has to be treated part-time Kidney disease and weak stomach...

In short, any aspect is inseparable from it.

It is not only ancient, but also has a very stable position. If all the spices are counted as the harem, then the most expensive nutmeg and pepper can only be regarded as the concubine. Saffron is the real master of the harem and will always be stable. Her Majesty the Queen.

The ancient Egyptians also liked saffron. It is said that even Cleopatra used saffron to take a bath to make herself fragrant, and also used saffron dye to make herself up to enhance her beauty.

In short, one sentence explains the mentality of Westerners-everything is unresolved, so saffron is served!

After Du Changqiu found out that it was saffron, he immediately figured out what the cook, Aunt Mary, wanted to cook. After understanding what she was going to do, he immediately thought of the smell of roasted chicken with saffron and red wine—chicken whose head is chopped off will be eaten. Roasted crispy, the finished product is a strange yellow-red color. The chicken marinated in red wine does not smell fishy, ​​but I don’t know if it’s because of the winemaking technology or Aunt Mary put too much wine. In short, the fishy smell is gone. But there is a strange bitter taste.

This is just the smell of red wine, and saffron has a slightly burnt smell. After roasting, it has a very strange and pungent taste when chewed carefully. If I insist on describing it, it is like taking a piece of leather that has not been tanned so well. Wipe the ground, then throw the leather in the dirty water basin, then let it marinate in the dirty water, then wipe the chicken, and throw a little sugar...

Coupled with the bitterness of the red wine, and a bit of sweetness at the end, the smell is very complex and the taste is very strange, indescribable. Du Changqiu can only say that he feels like vomiting again when he thinks about it.

If he grew up like this, he might think that this is indeed a delicacy - at least compared to the dried leg of lamb that has become moldy, Du Changqiu is willing to call this chicken a delicacy, because it is freshly killed meat.

But Du Changqiu really didn't want to taste Charlie's favorite dish at all, and as a food to appease Fan Xing, it was absolutely impossible for this thing to pass the test, and it might even annoy the angry calf even more.

Quickly making a judgment, Du Changqiu immediately interrupted the crazy desire and thoughts in his heart, and said to Aunt Mary: "Wait a minute, I don't want to eat saffron roast chicken today."

"Okay, sir, shall we have lamb stewed with red wine today?" Aunt Mary didn't take Du Changqiu's stop at first. After all, it's normal to change the diet occasionally, and the gentlemen always want to taste a certain food suddenly on a whim.

But the next moment, Aunt Mary heard Mr. Charlie say: "No, I don't want to eat lamb stewed in red wine either."

Aunt Mary, who carefully put the saffron back and shook off the scum from her hands, was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Du Changqiu with a confused face, and asked blankly: "...then just eat Bread and cheese, my lord?"

Although the usual daily recipes in the manor are basically just bread and cheese, after all, Damon's family is very economical, and they don't want to spend the extra money on eating and drinking every day.

But at least there should be meat for dinner, not to mention such a happy event as Master Charlie recovering from his illness? !

Besides, the candy has just been boiled out, and there will be more money in the future. Why does the husband feel more stingy than before?Aunt Mary looked at Du Changqiu very puzzled, with all kinds of weird thoughts in her heart one after another, unable to control herself.

Just when her mind was racing towards the house fight of "Does Master Charlie want to steal the food of the ladies and Mrs. Anne", Aunt Mary heard Master Charlie speak.

"Aunt Mary, wash your hands first, and I will teach you another way to roast chicken in a while." Aunt Mary heard Master Charlie say, and then turned around, revealing the fresh dead deer that had been blocking behind her, looking at 100 people. Looks like a lot of pounds, very fat.

Mary didn't know that the master had only disappeared all afternoon, and he had hunted back such a big deer. Deer is one of the most difficult prey.

"Also, let's make venison for today's main course." Mary heard Mr. Charlie continue.

Aunt Mary, who was still looking at the deer, had a flash of light in her eyes!

"Okay sir, I'll wash my hands right away sir!" Aunt Mary jumped up quickly with a completely different level of agility than she used to, turned around and immediately put the saffron away, and then carefully but quickly washed her hands inside and out.

During the whole process, Aunt Mary couldn't stop her heart from beating wildly—has her luck come? !

Aunt Mary told herself not to be too eager, but she really couldn't hold back, and felt her heart was about to jump out of her mouth.

Don't blame Aunt Mary, because she knows exactly what this simple sentence means!

In this era, everyone who can be a chef for the gentlemen must have one or two special dishes of his own according to the rules. As the chef, he can only help others.

And every chef will spend his whole life defending the recipes that belong to his family. No matter how much money he spends, as long as he is not a prodigal son, no one will hand over his family's inherited craftsmanship to others.

So no matter how capable and agile you are, if you don't have any adventures, if you meet some kind chef who teaches you your unique skills, you can only become a helper in your life.

And this is basically impossible. When the chefs cook their specialty dishes, they will drive the helpers out of the house, just to ensure that their cooking methods are not leaked.

Therefore, there is a gap between the chef and the chef, and from the chef who can serve the gentlemen, to the nobles such as the baron, to the nobles of different classes, each floor, It's all a peak.

Generally speaking, it is customary to serve the poor small manor owners and knight lords in the country, as well as the wealthy businessmen in the city, one or two of their own unique dishes plus baked bread and daily food are sufficient.

If you are a true nobleman like the Baron Viscount, the chef must at least be able to cook a complete meal for the banquet, and at the same time, he must have a unique specialty dish that can be served to entertain the guests, and there must be one or two unusual desserts. craft.

If you are the chef of the earls and dukes, you have to have your own specialties from appetizers, cold dishes to main courses, thick soups and desserts, and you have to be able to cook expensive ingredients-at least you must know swan, Cooking methods such as venison, whale or dolphin meat allow the host to show off his wealth and luxury when entertaining guests.

Of course, Aunt Mary didn't know the details in detail. She also heard about this standard from villagers who had been to the city.

As a serf, unlike a freeman's cook, no matter how much Aunt Mary learned, she couldn't leave the scope of Wirth Manor.

But Aunt Mary is a very pragmatic and shrewd woman. She didn't think too much about it at all. She only knew one thing, and that was that Mr. Charlie was going to teach her a new dish now!

As long as she knows more about cooking, the more her daughter Xiaojin who will inherit her position in the future will learn more, then Xiaojin's position will be very stable, and her children will also be able to secure the position of chef in the future.

This was enough for Aunt Mary, enough for her to tremble with excitement and want to seize this opportunity firmly!

After all, Aunt Mary's grandmother was able to jump from a helper to a cook because she was very loyal when she served the lady, and she was rewarded for offering the idea of ​​solving the master's greedy mistress for the lady.

At that time, the old lady asked her personal maid to teach her two secret recipes brought by her natal family-the practice of cooking saffron red wine roast chicken, and added a main course of red wine stewed mutton. After learning these two dishes, Mary's grandmother jumped From a helper to the head chef, he became the head of the kitchen in the manor, and then passed this dish to his mother, and then to Aunt Mary.

When everyone lived on pea and black bread, only Aunt Mary could eat a little piece of minced meat every week on the afternoon when her mother rested. Aunt Mary always knew clearly that it was not because she was better than others, but because she Because of the opportunity of the grandmother at that time.

And now, a new opportunity came before her again, how could Mary not be excited about this?

Compared to the old lady my grandmother met, this Mr. Charlie was the one who could cook sugar out of beets!Mary is very sure that the recipe Mr. Charlie knows must be even better!

Mary was very active, even hyperactive. In fact, Du Changqiu thought she was going to struggle. At least when Du Changqiu saw Aunt Mary peeling off the deer's skin with a knife, he remembered that the deer was not shot by a spear or bow and arrow at all. There were only two blood holes that were probably bitten out by Fan Xing.

He was ready to fool Aunt Mary, but it was a wink for a blind man.

Aunt Mary didn't notice this kind of detail at all. She was afraid that her slow reaction would make Mr. Charlie unhappy, so she didn't teach her new recipes. Go in, turn it around, and the thick and fat deer legs are directly removed.

Du Changqiu, who was on the quick side, was dumbfounded.

But Aunt Mary didn't notice it. The deer was dragged all the way back. The deer's blood flowed all over the place. There was nothing left. She took off the four deer legs, and then quickly divided the flesh on the body, skillfully dividing it according to the parts. , looked at Du Changqiu with bright eyes, waiting for his order.

According to Mr. Charlie's instructions, Aunt Mary deboned and blanched the broth step by step, and cut large pieces of venison and blanched it and put it aside.

While she was busy there, Du Changqiu turned his back to Aunt Mary, and secretly opened his storage space, and the storage space full of various sundries appeared in front of him instantly.

Because they left very suddenly at that time, the storage space was in a mess, everything was stuffed randomly, and it looked like a huge fresh-keeping garbage cabinet.

Fortunately, this is the case, but it was a blessing in disguise.

Because according to Du Changqiu's original plan, in order to ensure the safety of the return journey to the greatest extent, if he is given time, he will select samples of many things and throw away the rest. To be copied quickly, of course, it is best to quickly match the subspecies in the wild.

But if it’s handled like that, there won’t be such a rich inventory in this storage space——Du Changqiu has always regarded this place as a free fresh-keeping warehouse in the beastman world, and he and Fanxing will put everything in it whenever they find it. Lost, although messy, but now the supplies are so abundant that Du Changqiu feels that he is about to get rich!

He was mainly referring to the huge pile of Xin mustache he kept.

At the beginning, all the orcs in the tribe set out to snatch Xin's beard, but they picked too much and couldn't finish it, so Du Changqiu threw a lot of them in his storage space. As a result, there were always too many Xin's beards, so Du Changqiu put this Things are forgotten.

Just now, when making venison for Aunt Mary, Du Changqiu thought about the seasonings that Charlie usually ate, and immediately decided to add some private goods—anyway, the owners of expensive spices are used to keeping them in their own hands, such as Charlie’s fifteen black spices. Pepper, after Du Changqiu discovered that it could actually be used as seeds, he immediately put it into his storage space, together with the small box carefully prepared by Charlie.

In fact, Du Changqiu also wanted to try the taste of black pepper, but he was too poor now, and he really didn't dare to eat that black pepper casually, so he was going to take out some Xinhuzi.

It's just that everything is too messy, Du Changqiu rummaged around, and even found the castrated wild onions that are prepared to serve with bamboo rice in winter!

There are really all kinds of weird things in here. When Du Changqiu turned over the wild eggs, he was a little speechless. He felt that he really didn't know why. It seemed that he couldn't help the desire to store these things. Fortunately, no one except Fanxing looked at them. Seeing this, otherwise Du Changqiu would feel quite ashamed.

"Put it up with a Xin beard, how about eating stewed venison at night?" Du Changqiu touched his side and looked curiously at the things he had hoarded, looking at his stars in confusion.

Obviously, Fanxing couldn't figure out why his humans hoarded such junk.

But seeing Du Changqiu take out a small handful of Xinhuzi and put it in a small wooden box he found casually, Fanxing understood, it's delicious anyway!

Looking at the shining eyes of the stars, and stomping his feet slightly excitedly, probably because he was too excited, Du Changqiu, who only had a beard in his hands, felt a strange sense of guilt for some reason, as if other people's children could eat luxury tops with customized ones. Nutrient solution package, and he can only let his children eat the lowest level of nutrient solution, which is useless like an adult, and feels very sorry for his children.

"Make another big apple pie. You haven't eaten apple pie yet, have you?" Du Changqiu couldn't help but take the initiative to increase the size. Anyway, now he can make sugar by himself, and the apple manor can produce it himself. Fanxing likes sweets. If there are too few meat dishes, Just let him eat more sweets!

And Aunt Mary didn't know what Mr. Charlie was thinking at all. She only knew that after she blanched the water according to Mr. Charlie's instructions, she put the venison in the pot without anything, and then took out some onions, Cut it into pieces and submerged the venison completely, then Mr. Charlie came over, took a small box, took out a small bright red fruit from it, squeezed the fruit, and threw them all into the venison.

While the venison was being stewed in water, Aunt Mary smelled a strange and exciting aroma that she had never smelled before. She wanted to know what it was, but she wisely kept her mouth shut.

That's something she shouldn't ask, it should be a very precious and mysterious spice.

On the other side, Aunt Mary put a little red wine and salt to marinate the whole venison leg, then watched Mr. Charlie come over, asked her to add honey, lemon juice and garlic, and finally took out some of the bright red small Squeeze the fruit and put it on, and then Aunt Mary went over and brushed the spices evenly.

It's a pity that although I have learned most of the methods, I don't know what the spice is, and Aunt Mary is a little disappointed after being ecstatic.

But before she could get discouraged, Mr. Charlie was heard saying, "Make another apple pie."

Apple pie!

Aunt Mary immediately regained her spirits!

She knew this thing, and she had heard it from the villagers in the city of Tirunwana, saying that it was the most luxurious bakery in the city, and there was apple pie for sale, and a palm-sized triangle cost a full eightpence, and it was extremely Thin and disappears after a few bites.

In this way, the ladies of the nearby manor often send their servants to buy and eat, because it is said that the apple pie made by the chef of this bakery is very delicious.

Apple pie is not a very rare recipe, but Aunt Mary has never made it before-the only dessert she can make is sweet stewed apples, which are boiled in water and then boiled with sugar to make them sticky.

That night, Aunt Mary opened the door to a new world.

According to what Mr. Charlie said, she added white sugar, butter and a little salt to the flour. In fact, when she arrived here, Aunt Mary already thought it was incredible. in the flour?

But she didn't make a sound, just followed Mr. Charlie's instructions, and continued to get some cold water to knead the whole dough.

Then, I washed the fresh apples harvested this year, cut them into thin slices, and added sugar, flour, and cinnamon powder. Probably because apples are often stewed with cinnamon powder every day. Aunt Mary was not as confused as the previous part when stirring the apple slices.

When she finished rolling out the dough and turning it into a crust, put the mixed apples in and sealed them up according to Master Charlie's instructions, and then put them on the iron plate and sent them to bake, Mary looked at this beautiful round apple pie, and was so excited. Before the roasting started, she could smell the faint sweet aroma of butter.

Aunt Mary was so excited that this apple pie would be beyond her imagination.

And the truth is, when she took out the baked slightly burnt apple pie from the oven, and smelled the intoxicating, sweet smell, Aunt Mary felt that she was going to be drunk.

She learned a high-level dessert that can be passed down to future generations!Aunt Mary is sure that such a dessert is enough to entertain any gentleman and noble without being rude!

"Dear Mr. Charlie, everything is ready. I will definitely try the method you mentioned to ferment the Queen's Bread." Amidst the aroma of stewed venison and roasted venison leg, Aunt Mary looked at Du Changqiu respectfully, Like looking at the God of Light herself, she said devoutly to Du Changqiu, "I will start stewing the chicken soup you mentioned tomorrow."

"You did a great job, Mary, I left some stew for you. You have been cooking it for so long, so you have to try it yourself." Before leaving, Du Changqiu said, "You can also make two more of this pie. I'll ask the butler to pick one up after I finish eating, and you guys can make one and try it yourself."

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency." Mary was flattered and quickly saluted.

Seeing Mr. Charlie leave, Aunt Mary walked over and saw the fragrant stewed venison and a piece of roast meat in a ceramic bowl, which was as big as a fist. She was so moved that she could not describe it in words.

Especially when you eat it in one bite, the soft and tender stewed venison will break open with a slight bite. There is a slightly spicy and stimulating aroma in the chewing, and there is no smell of meat at all, only fresh and spicy. , can't stop at all!

Aunt Mary thought that Mr. Charlie was the most generous and kind host in the world. How generous he was to teach her such delicious food and even give her such a big bowl!

Mary wolfed it down, licking the gravy from the bottom of the bowl.

Then she carefully took the untouched piece of barbecue, and walked to the corner where she was looking at when Du Changqiu came. She pulled out a small cloth bag from it, and Aunt Mary put the piece of barbecue into it. Among the piles of small pieces of bread, there was a loving smile on his face.

Hiding all this, Aunt Mary knelt on the ground devoutly and prayed to the God of Light, praying that the God of Light would not put Mr. Charlie in danger again, and hoped that a good man like Mr. Charlie would live healthy and healthy after going through this danger.

After praying, Aunt Mary stood up and quickly started preparing to bake the apple pie—she took this opportunity to firmly remember every step and weighing recipe taught by her husband!

On the other hand, the elegant women of the Damon family looked no better than Aunt Mary.

This night, the Damon family gathered in the restaurant of the manor happily, in order to celebrate the recovery of the head of the family, Charlie, because they survived the crisis of being almost kicked out, and everyone had a smile on their faces after the catastrophe.

After greeting each other, everyone sat down together, only to realize that Charlie hadn't arrived at the restaurant on time.

"Isn't my brother in good health?" Veronica, the most stable elder sister, couldn't help but stood up worriedly and looked at the housekeeper George.

George, who had been busy since he discovered the sugar, hadn't spoken yet. The door was pushed open, and servants came in from outside with huge deep plates and baking trays.

Arranged in turn, Du Changqiu was at the end of the line, smiling at them and said, "This is a new way of eating that I asked the cook to make, you guys have a try."

The lids of the dinner plates were lifted one by one, and a strong spicy aroma filled the whole room in an instant - a few knives were cut on the two huge roasted deer legs. Mouth is moist.

Next to it is a whole crispy chicken, which is almost in close contact with saffron. Later, it was marinated in the same way as roasted deer leg, and then roasted in the oven until it is golden and oily. I know that once you bite into your mouth, it must be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. After the crispy texture is broken with a "click", the slightly spicy garlic chicken juice bursts in the mouth. After chewing and swallowing, it must be even The soul will feel a sense of fullness.

But what attracts the most attention is the tin pot with the strongest aroma and the largest one. It is placed in the center of the table and exudes a charming fragrance. , is stewed soft onions, and large pieces of stewed venison.

With a "gudong", the seven-year-old little Mary swallowed her saliva. She has never smelled such an alluring aroma in her life.
