Chapter 176 Appetizers for the New Year's Dinner
"Haha, I heard that the soup has been cooked successfully?" As soon as the dawn, Cao Ren slipped over.
"Zixiao, don't you need to set up a dinner venue?" Wang Yong asked directly without looking back.
"With Yuan Rang there, my subordinates are working very hard!" Cao Ren laughed, but there was a hint of panic in his tone. Sure enough, this guy came over to be lazy.
If she is marching and fighting, or guarding the city, it doesn't matter how tired she is. After all, it is the duty of a warrior. But if she is asked to govern the country or do something that has nothing to do with war, then she is reluctant. If she can be lazy, she will be lazy. This personality has been complained by Xun Yu more than once, and Cao Cao has said it several times, but she also agreed verbally and will never change it.
It was also difficult in the early stage, and many military generals had to be used as civil officials, such as Li Dian, Cao Ren, and even Cheng Yu. Fortunately, everyone was the same, and supporting Cao Cao's civil servant system allowed her to complete the initial accumulation of talents.
During this period, he initiated a literary order like the "Recruitment Order", but it violated the interests of the old aristocratic families. You should know that the monopoly of knowledge in this world family is stronger than that of the orthodox world. Although many poor families were recruited in the future, most of them needed to be slowly tempered. The capable aristocratic children were separated from Cao Cao.
It is true that the characteristics of poor children are conscientious and hardworking. They will crazily absorb new knowledge and improve themselves. But if the children of the aristocratic families above are unwilling to let them learn, then they still cannot learn anything. Without more accumulation, the improvement of poor children is limited.
Perhaps it is a county magistrate, or a county magistrate, or at most a state magistrate, that's it.
Wang Yong thought about opening a school to specialize in cultivating talents, but considering that there are not enough teachers and it is easy to stimulate the aristocratic families, he did not say it out. The clinic is a try, and this existence is also a place to cultivate talents. The key aristocratic families are not very resistant. After all, the children of aristocratic families are normal people and will get sick.
"Even if that's the case, look..." Wang Yong smiled and said nothing. Someone had come to find her.
"Hua! I have said that dinner is everyone's business, but you are not allowed to be lazy!" Xiahou Dun came to Cao Ren angrily, grabbed her back collar and walked towards the venue.
"Let me take a break..." Cao Ren was dragged away like that with reluctance.
"Haha..." Looking at her appearance, Wang Yong could only shake his head and continue to watch the fire. All the ingredients were in place, and he needed to cook the dishes for tonight's dinner.
"Tonight is not a try, but a practical battle! You must succeed in one go, and there is no flaw at all. Taking out flawed food is the biggest insult to our chef!" Wang Yong shouted to several chefs.
"Abide by the order!" Everyone was also very clear about the importance of tonight's dinner, so they responded one after another.
The night gradually darkened, and the dinner scene was decorated very beautifully and lively. It was rare that the weather was pretty good tonight, there was no rain or cloudy, and the clear sky and the galaxy were brilliant, but unfortunately there was no moon... Where did the moon come from on the first day of the lunar month? If the moon really came out, Wang Yong even doubted whether this world was the earth!
"Eat, eat, eat, eat..." Seeing the guests sitting one after another, Xun Yu went straight into the cute state. She had been busy for a day today, as the general allocation of supplies and also had the rehearsal guidance of the program, and she was responsible for at least three jobs at the same time.
The more tired she is, the more she wants to eat. At this moment, her heart has an infinite cycle. "I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry, I'm so hungry..."
"Dinner, supper, supper!" Cao Ren also started to make a fuss when he saw this, and saw Xiahou Dun didn't know how to complain.
"Haha..." Hua Tuo smiled slightly, "Isn't it good to have a rare New Year dinner?"
"Big...probably..." Guo Jia will still become a little shy in formal occasions.
"The first one to come up should be the appetizer, right? The menu says squid, but what is squid?" Xiahou Dun simply changed the topic, and naturally asked Guo Jia.
"It's the gelatin made from pig skin, and the skin jelly made from pig skin... a little... a bit similar to pudding..." Guo Jia replied in a panic.
"The dessert is also a pudding, will it be a bit repetitive?" Xiahou Dun couldn't help but ponder when he heard this.
"The food...the food feel is not...different, so...it won't...repeat." Guo Jia quickly explained. Perhaps it was too anxious, and the words were even more intermittent.
"Then look forward to it!" Xiahou Dun nodded. Although she was not a sweet party, she still liked sweets very much.
Soon, the waiters in the backstage brought the things out one after another. The first one was not the squid, but Du Kang and rice wine. This was the water wine provided at tonight. There were also flowers tea prepared, but Cao Ren refuted at that time: "How can you not drink wine when you are such a happy occasion!"
So she decided that the lowest level was also the beginning of rice wine. She asked for a pot of Du Kang herself. She drank it with Cao Cao several times before and liked the taste. Guo Jia and others were not very good at drinking, so they just drank rice wine. This wine has a slightly sweet taste and has a good taste.
"It's not time to raise your glass yet?" Cao Ren poured himself a glass of wine and then remembered.
"Eat, eat, eat..." Xun Yu seemed even more restless.
"Here's coming!" Wang Yong's voice came, and several helpers took out the skin and froze, boiled it over a long period of low heat, boiled the collagen from the pig's skin, and then solidified by freezing.
There is also a more delicate processing method, which is to completely crush the pig skin, and then boil it to completely dissolve the pig skin and become part of the skin jelly. This is the improved version of the crystal skin jelly.
"All right, I didn't see the pig's skin, it was just a pudding!" Xiahou Dun couldn't help but be surprised.
"What kind of raw material is the sauce? It seems to be a little sour..." Hua Tuo was also very interested in this crystal crust.
"Aged vinegar and seasoning sauce as the base, add some sugar, garlic and lime (lime), and add some pickled peppers as needed." Wang Yong replied, "Please taste it, the soup will come up soon!"
"That's quick!" Xun Yu looked at Wang Yong, "I guess I will be even hungry after eating this..."
To be honest, she doesn't like to eat sour foods, and spicy food is what she prefers. However, this crystal crust is well made and looks very appetizing. I just hope Wang Yong doesn't put so much aged vinegar.
Sure enough, Wang Yong was still very considerate. She didn't put as much aged vinegar as she was slightly appetizing, but not too heavy. She even put pickled peppers on purpose, and the slight sour and sour feeling was very comfortable.
"Suck..." When I ate the pig skin jelly, I found that this thing can be like a fan. I sucked it and ate it in my mouth. But it is more tough than the jelly, but it will not look old, smooth and tender, and a very comfortable taste.
"This is really good as an appetizer! No, I want to drink, why not, let me bring you a drink first?" Cao Ren raised his glass.
"Then... Happy New Year, cheers!" Everyone exchanged their eyes, and then raised their glasses one after another.
