The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 125 The ham is finally grilled

After eating and drinking, Zhao Lan slowly led Su Ruojin downstairs.

The entire Fengle Building was bustling with singing and dancing, but during the process of going downstairs, except for the occasional waiter or two serving food, there was no one there.

Su Ruojin didn't know whether it was the exclusive passage that Prince Zhao Xiao took, or whether the restaurant cleared the place specially for him. Anyway, it felt like living a luxurious life in peace and tranquility.

 Sure enough, you have to be rich!

Shu Tong and Mao Ya were already waiting by the carriage at the door. Su Ruojin took advantage of Mao Ya to help her get into the carriage and asked in a low voice, "Have you eaten?" The two of them did not follow them to the fifth floor.

Mao Ya nodded, "Eat on the second floor." After saying this, she looked around quietly and whispered quickly, "It's not as delicious as the second lady's cooking."

Su Ruojin:…

how to say? In an era when cooking, grilling, pickling, and cold dressing were the main tasks, although stir-frying, frying, stewing, etc. were also practiced, compared with later generations, the cooking methods were still relatively simple. Take the yusheng just now, for example, although in later generations in the south It's quite a lot, but people still don't accept it. There is an idiom called "荍词population", in which 荍 is to cut meat, not limited to fish, into fine pieces and eat it raw. We modern people may think that raw meat slices are fishy and smelly. It's not delicious at all. The ancients didn't think so. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Yin Dynasty, people have always liked to eat spicy food.

After eating and drinking, Su Ruojin got on the carriage and staggered. Su Ruojin was dozed all the way. It wasn't until the carriage stopped and Mao Ya patted her gently that she woke up. She got off the carriage and arrived at a quiet place. 's big house.

 Pushing open the door and passing through the small patio, there is a row of desks in the large open space. Each table has either a meat grinder or an enema machine, giving it a busy scene.

Zhao Lan turned his head and looked at the young lady standing at the door, "Where to start?"

 The workshop is quite large. Su Ruojin feels that her roasted ham sausage business is promising, and she smiles happily, "Start by choosing the meat."

 A middle-aged man in charge got Shuangrui's hint and quickly stepped forward to lead people to the meat cutting area. As he walked, Su Ruojin asked, "What crops are the starch here made of?"

In front of Tianhuang nobles, the stewards did not dare to speak at will.

Shuangrui urged: "Speak as Mrs. Su tells you to."

"Yes!" The steward next to the noble man was impatient, and the frightened middle-aged man quickly replied cautiously, "Go back to Mrs. Su, there are wheat, red beans, mung beans, etc."

Su Ruojin nodded, there was no way, there were no potatoes, red potatoes, or corn at this time, so we had to use these first.

Su Ruojin cuts the meat, mixes the ingredients, puts it into a meat grinder and minces it into fine meat paste, and then puts it into a closed high-temperature steamer to sterilize it, puts it on a drying rack to cool, and finally places it in an ice cellar for storage. .

 In this step, no matter how high the temperature of high-temperature steaming is, it cannot be compared with the high-temperature oven sterilization of later generations, so she shortened the shelf life. "It should not be taken out of the ice cellar for more than ten days in summer, and it should not be more than one month in winter."

No matter what Su Ruojin said, the manager just nodded.

Only people like the little prince can get an ice cellar similar to a cold storage. This is why Su Ruojin did not think of the small ham sausage simply. Compared with ham sausage, sausages require less cooking and sterilization processes. They only need to be filled and put away. Just air-dry on the rack, and the air-dried ingredients can be stored for a long time.

 Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Lan stayed with Su Ruojin, silently watching her instructing the servants and explaining the details that needed to be paid attention to.

Su Ruojin drove past him, but she had to stand on the side, as if she didn't care if she didn't stand on the side to supervise the work. Okay, this is your territory, you can do whatever you want, and she should do whatever she wants. .

By the time I came out of the workshop, it was already dark.

Shuangrui asked someone to give Su Ruojin a batch of ham sausages made in the afternoon.

Su Ruojin: ...There seem to be several thousand small ones.

"free?"

The little lady’s eyes were shining as if she was obsessed with money. Zhao Lan lowered the corners of her slightly pursed lips and said, “Yeah!”

"Wow!" Su Ruojin almost jumped up with joy, "Thank you, little prince. I will go back to Su Ji's shop now and buy new ones right away." She couldn't wait. Shuangrui was just about to say that dinner was arranged, but the host glanced at him and immediately asked Santai to prepare the car.

On the way back, Su Ruojin's heart felt like it was about to fly. She wished she could reach Suji in one step, giggling all the way.

Of course, only Su Ruojin thought she was snickering. In fact, all three people in the carriage, Zhao Lan, Shuang Rui, and Mao Ya, looked at her and laughed all the way.

This so-called ham sausage really makes the second lady so happy?

The silly Su Ruojin seemed to have finally remembered something. She reached out and took the ham sausage prepared separately in the snack box. She opened her mouth and took a bite. Wow, this is a pure natural ham sausage without additives. It is so delicious.

He was so happy that he stuffed the ham sausage in his mouth and reminded Zhao Lan: "The little prince, take it and eat it!" This is the king of snacks!

Zhao Lan really listened to her, reached for one, and ate it like her.

Su Ruojin really enjoyed the meal so much that she let Shuang Rui and Mao Ya eat.

Both of them looked at Zhao Lan carefully. In Mao Ya's eyes, the little prince didn't say anything, but Shuang Rui understood his little master, reached out and took one and handed it to Mao Ya first, and then he gave it to Mao Ya. Got one myself.

Ham sausage with added starch is combined with alternately fat and lean pork, with various condiments and spices. When you bite it in your mouth, it is chewy and not too delicious. Shuangrui's eyebrows will almost fly after eating it.

"It's still delicious according to the lady's guidance." Although the workshop made it according to the lady's recipe, the taste is not as good as the one taught by the lady herself. No wonder the little prince insisted on bringing the lady to the workshop, and it turned out to be different. .

The carriage arrived at Su Ji very quickly. Su Ruojin was so excited that she was about to jump out of the carriage. She almost fell down, but when Mao Ya was about to pull him up, Zhao Lan quickly pulled her back.

“Don’t worry.” He frowned and jumped out of the carriage first.

Su Ruojin was frightened by the serious face of the young master and stopped in the carriage without daring to move.

Zhao Lan stood in front of the car door and stretched out his hand, "Come here."

Well…

Su Ruojin opened her arms and moved toward him in confusion.

The young master stretched out his long arms and put his arms around the little lady's armpits, and hugged her down.

Until he stood on the ground, Su Ruojin was still a little confused. When did Prince Zhao become so brotherly?

 Mother Dong saw the little lady coming and hurriedly came out to greet her, "Second Lady..."

Su Ruojin came out of her daze instantly and walked around to the barbecue stall with a smile, "Brother Dashi, Aunt Gui, do you have any bamboo sticks?"

"Yes." Xianggui quickly grabbed a handful of bamboo sticks and handed them over.

Su Ruojin let Mao Ya catch it, and she stood in front of Xianggui's barbecue grill, "Tomorrow I'll have someone build a grill specifically for roasting ham, so I'll make do with it today."

Shutong brought two large baskets of ham sausages over, and Su Ruojin brought Xianggui and others to bake them first.

 A few minutes later, Su Ruojin brought the baked first one to Zhao Lan, who had not left yet, "Young Master, would you like to try it?"

Dear friends, there is still another chapter for tonight! !
