Chapter 53 Cooking delicious food

What Jing Yi doesn't know yet is that she has recruited a general for herself. Song Yuancheng, who is still acting like a weak chicken now, will make great contributions to her future expansion of territory. Song Yuancheng has really followed her all her life and has never betrayed her.

.

At this time, Song Yuancheng was still a weak scholar.

Song Yuancheng did not expect that his young master would be so open and honest to him. He was moved and excited, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Thank you for your trust, young master. I am willing to learn my skills from you. From now on, I will act as a leader for you."

Jing Yi helped Song Yuancheng up and said, "Don't kneel down anymore. Our family doesn't need this. I will teach you how to do it, but not at home. At least not now."

Song Yuancheng understood immediately, "Is it because Prince Jing is here?"

Jing Yi nodded, "Not only Prince Jing, but there are also many secret guards of Prince Jing's palace around here. Before Prince Jing was not here, there were still secret guards around. Although it was for protection in name, how could you know that there was no intention of surveillance?"

Song Yuancheng was stunned when he heard this, "Young master has known about the secret guard for a long time?"

Jing Yi smiled and said, "Although the secret guards are very skilled in martial arts and are far away from my home, they still can't hide it from me. I just pretend that I don't know because they really don't have any ill intentions.

But if I teach you some skills, I don’t want them to know. We may form an alliance with Prince Jing in the future, but we must have our own chips and cannot let others know all our trump cards. This is also the first lesson I will teach you.

A lesson.”

Song Yuancheng nodded, "Sir, I understand."

Jing Yi said: "In the future, I will go into the mountains to collect herbs from time to time. You come with me and I will teach you in the mountains. We will build our own intelligence system in the future. We need to get information from all aspects and know ourselves and our enemies before we can deal with it calmly."

.

Your enemy is Prince Xuan Xiao Yitai. And Xiao Yitai's biggest obsession is to ascend to the throne, so let's make it impossible for him to achieve his wish. If such a person becomes emperor, it will be a disaster for the people of the world.

As long as he cannot become emperor, no matter who ascends to the throne in the end, he will not end well. It would be easier for him to die directly. Letting him live to suffer is the biggest punishment for him.

If we want to grow and develop, we need people. We need people who are capable, trustworthy, and will never betray us. Therefore, we must recruit capable people with good character. Ability can be cultivated, but the most important thing is that the character must pass the test.

Also, don’t tell Qiao Hong what I’m telling you now. After all, he is still young and needs to grow up and experience. You will tell him when the time comes.”

Song Yuancheng nodded, "I understand, Young Master."

The two of them had initially made friends and formed an alliance. And they had a master-disciple relationship.

Xiao Yilin took a medicinal bath and acupuncture in the morning, and was done just before noon.

Before resting, Jingyi asked Xiao Yilin to eat something, and then the tired Xiao Yilin fell asleep.

In the afternoon, Jingyi asked Feng Zhi to take out two fans of pork and chop the ribs into pieces. In the evening, he made braised pork ribs and pork rib soup. Jingyi gave the fat meat to Qiao Yan to fry in oil, and chose a large piece of fat meat.

Cut the pork belly into small pieces to prepare braised pork for dinner.

Qiao Yan was already very familiar with frying lard. She poured some water into the pot, then put the fat pork cut into small pieces into the pot and fried it. Soon the oil in the fat pork was slowly fried out, and there was a rich smell.

The aroma of fried meat wafted out, filling the whole yard with the aroma.

Feng Zhi smelled it at the door of the wing and said, "Hey, Gu Yu, what's the scent that smells so good?"

Gu Yu also smelled it, looked in the direction of the kitchen and said, "Master Chu must be making delicious food. Didn't he ask you to remove all the meat? He must be making meat."

Feng Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You look at the prince, I will help."

With that said, he left the wing and ran to the kitchen.

As soon as Feng Zhi entered the kitchen, the aroma became stronger. He saw Qiao Yan working and asked curiously: "Little sister Qiao, what are you making delicious?"

Qiao Yan turned around and said, "I'm frying lard, which is to fry the fat in the pork and save it for cooking later. The dishes you eat are all made of lard."

Feng Zhi looked at the lard and fat pieces rolling in the pot and swallowed his saliva, "Then the fried lard is really fragrant."

Qiao Yan said: "After the lard is fried, Brother Feng can eat the lard residue. The lard residue will be delicious mixed with some salt."

When Feng Zhi heard this, he swallowed his saliva and said with a smile, "Then I'll light a fire for you."

After frying the lard, Feng Zhi got a big bowl of lard residue. Mixed with a little salt, it was so fragrant.

Feng Zhi did not eat alone, but ran back to the side room to share it with Gu Yu.

There are several stoves with fires in the house and large pots, so we can cook together.

Because it takes a long time to stew the meat, Jingyi prepared it early and stewed the braised pork in the pot first.

The pork belly and ribs were blanched and stewed in two large pots. Qiao Hong turned on the fire and looked at the pot. With the soy sauce, the braised pork had its essence. Jingyi was very satisfied with the sauce-colored soup in the pot.

Add onion, ginger, star anise and other seasonings, half the pot of meat, half the pot of ribs and start to simmer.

The braised pork and braised pork ribs were stewed in the wing where Qiao Hong and the others lived, and the kang was also being cooked.

Winter was coming soon, so Jingyi asked Song Yuancheng to move in with Qiao Hongyi so that they could both sleep on the heated kang and stay warmer.

Jingyi plans to turn a room in the south room into a living room. If guests come in the future, they can receive them in the living room without going to the yard. This is also more convenient.

A large pot in the kitchen is used to cook pork rib soup, and a large pot is used to stew rice and stir-fry vegetables.

As time goes by, the aroma of braised pork slowly wafts out. It is more attractive than the aroma of fried lard. The same is true for braised pork ribs.

Xiao Yilin was woken up by the fragrance that floated into the room. Because the fragrance was so overpowering, even a sleeping person had to wake up.

Except for Jing Yi, no one in the family has ever eaten authentic braised pork, so everyone in the family is looking forward to having dinner early.

While Gu Yu was waiting for his prince to wash up, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, there is something delicious tonight. It is a new dish made by Mr. Chu. You can smell how delicious it is."

Xiao Yilin smiled and said: "The scent is really overbearing, it even woke me up from my sleep."

In addition to meat dishes, dinner also includes fried fungus with eggs, cold spinach, and vegetarian fried celery.

Jingyi opened the pot where the braised pork was stewed, and a strong aroma steamed out. There was not much soup left in the pot, and the meat was already soft and could absorb the juice.

Just looking at the thick and shiny gravy will make you want to eat it. Braised pork with gravy hanging on it also looks very tempting.

Jingyi tasted a piece of braised pork and it was really delicious. Because the ancient pork was grown by feeding grains, wild vegetables, etc., it can be said to be purely natural, and the seasonings are quite complete, so the braised pork is very delicious.

.

Today is the first time Jing Yili has eaten relatively authentic braised pork since coming to ancient times.

The same goes for the braised pork ribs, which were very successful. Now that I have soy sauce, I can make more delicacies in the future.
