Chapter 10 Different Li Shimin
Very quickly Liu Hai rinsed the pork and then brought it to Li Chengqian.
”Now after the pork is washed, you marinate the pork with salt plus patted onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, or else the pork that will be made in a while will be fishy and smelly, that won’t work” Li Chengqian saw that Liu Hai’s pork was washed, and then told him what to do next.
Getting the method given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Liu Hai ran his ass off to get busy again.
But looking at Liu Hai busy there, Li Chengqian felt bored again after doing this for a while, so he went around the kitchen a few times.
”Damn, it seems that those who write back to the ancient times of the author of the great, is really did not lie to me ah, this he meow really in the ancient times do not have too many things, this is an individual traveled to the ancient times, as long as they do not make, live better than the previous life, that is no problem at all ah,” Li Chengqian turned a few rounds in his heart, secretly thought.
At the same time, Li Chengqian also thought, the kitchen has so many things do not, that they want to live a little better, that is not a lot of life in the past life of the supplies have to build their own, or suffer is not him, such as brushing his teeth is a let him a very bad thing, after all, with a willow branch dipped in green salt brushing his teeth, brushing once he wanted to die of the heart, and containing green salt in the mouth, the taste is not good.
But there is one thing is still very good, is also Li Chengqian before completely did not think of, that is, in the Tang Dynasty, on the big number is actually wiped with paper ass, although I do not know is everyone is like this, or only the royal family so, but still let him can not help but sigh the great Tang really he meow good.
After all, just this one does not let his butt suffer, is a good start, although there are still a lot of shortcomings, but since he came, then he has the confidence to change it for the better.
And the direction Li Chengqian chose is the field he is most familiar with, eating, this China for thousands of years, can never get around the topic.
And this well done, not only can satisfy themselves, but also can bring themselves a considerable income, so why not.
And just when Li Chengqian is thinking nonsense, Liu Hai’s side of the guinea pig (also known as pork) has been marinated almost, and Liu Hai has come several times to ask, can it be no.
”Liu Hai, add water in the iron pot, after boiling the pork into it to add yellow wine, to be cooked out of the blood, in the pork out, into the water to wash, after I teach you how to do” finished Li Chengqian is not in charge of Liu Hai, let him do it, while Li Chengqian is thinking about their own things to go.
Thinking about it, Li Chengqian thought of it, how much money in the end, because the former that unlucky man usually rarely use money, even if use is Zhang Gao this chief to pay him, so in his memory simply do not have the memory of how much money in the end he has.
”Zhang Gao, tell me how much money I have in this huge East Palace” Since there is no memory, Li Chengqian called Zhang Gao over.
”Back to your highness, our east palace can receive ten guan of money and five silks from the Empress Mother every month, now the east palace still has five guan of money and ten silks left” although Zhang Gao didn’t know why the crown prince asked, he still honestly said it.
”I go, this what prince ah, only so little money, still not a little real estate, land deed, this is not to say that one is not as rich as the two younger brothers who have already been crowned king, although they take less per month, but they have real estate, fiefdoms ah” after listening to Zhang Gao’s report, Li Chengqian heart is very bad in the heart of the spit.
”It seems that one has to find a way to make some money, otherwise one’s money is not as much as a minister’s family’s vertical collapse, then one still mixes what mixes, and wants to make money, then Liu Hai has to be properly cultivated” after spitting for a while, Li Chengqian secretly thought, while glancing at Liu Hai who was busy.
”Zhang Gao, let me ask you, if in this hot summer day someone is on the street to buy a cup of ice water for 10 cents, will you go and buy it” but because Liu Hai is not able to do it right now, Li Chengqian thought of ice water and then asked Zhang Gao.
”Your Highness, don’t say ten wen, really if someone sells, twenty wen old slave will also buy to drink, Your Highness you won’t want to sell this ice water, this thing can never be ah”
”How can not, and not I go to sell, you turn back in our East Palace to find a few smart point, and loyal people, while the weather is still hot, go to a king in the East City to buy a small store, give me to buy iced water to go, iced water on the ten Wen, plus the juice of the twenty Wen, this matter is so decided” Li Chengqian also do not care about kneeling on the ground to persuade their own Zhang Gao, directly to this matter is decided, and the king will not sell the iced water to the people. He directly settled this matter.
”Yes, the old slave knows” Zhang Gao saw his own Prince, directly fixed, plus he thought carefully, His Highness said also right, should be down, turn around and go out to find people to go.
And at this time, Liu Hai’s side had also taken care of the pork, just waiting for Li Chengqian to teach him the following steps.
”Liu Hai, you first prepare some of the spices I said, cinnamon, star anise, grass nuts, peppercorns, sesame leaves, onions and ginger, ready, you put oil in the pot, when the oil temperature is fifty percent hot, you put those spices and onions and ginger down to stir-fry a little bit, to be a bit of fragrance out, before the treatment of the pork poured into the soy sauce and caramelized sugar and stir-fry evenly after the release of salt seasoning, and then in the addition of more than the guinea fowl Meat water, large fire boil with a small fire stew, until the soup is dry can be out of the pot, I said these you hear understand it,” finished Li Chengqian asked Liu Hai.
”The official, listen is to listen to understand, but there are some places are not quite understand” Liu Hai thought to Li Chengqian said.
”What do not understand, you first according to the king said to do it again, done I tell you, you those who do not do it right.”
”Yes, then the next official this will start” promised, Liu Hai also did not do much thinking, according to Li Chengqian said the steps began the cooking of the first braised meat of the Great Tang.
”Liu Hai, your cooking is very talented, good, but this braised meat is a little too sweet, and you added a little too much oil, next time pay attention, now you’re doing two copies of braised meat, a moment to let Xia Ju send to the king” and so on the braised meat out of the pot, Li Chengqian tasted a mouthful of it and said to Liu Hai.
Because it is the first time to do, and Li Chengqian did not tell Liu Hai how much oil to put, how much soy sauce to add, how much caramel to add, so the first made out of braised pork is a little too sweet.
But the first time you do it can be made like this, Liu Hai’s performance makes Li Chengqian quite satisfied.
After instructing Liu Hai and Xia Ju, Li Chengqian didn’t stay in the kitchen for much longer, and directly left the kitchen and walked towards the previous courtyard.
As for the bowl of braised pork, of course, was also Li Chengqian take food box, ready to take to their own queen mother taste, although the sweet is a little sweet, but overall is still good.
