Chapter 18 Wild Vegetables, Rice, and Ai Lulu(1/2)
Cody is also a very lively little maid.
After happily saying hello to Jiang Jin.
She looked at the beautiful natural scenery around her and said with a smile:
"It's nice here, right? I like coming here too."
Judging from the appearance, Cody is also the kind of person who can't sit still.
She is definitely not satisfied with staying in that quiet monastery every day.
I will wander around when I have nothing to do.
Like the streams and rivers around here.
Those are places that Cody is familiar with.
But even so, she still nodded to Jiang Jin and said:
"It's almost time, we have to go back and prepare breakfast."
Now the sky is getting brighter.
It's almost time for the hosts to enjoy breakfast.
Because Ms. Wei Qi, who was in charge of the meals, broke her arm.
She has been sent to the church in Neverwinter Town for treatment.
But this kind of nerve-wracking thing.
You probably won’t be able to come back for a while.
So today’s breakfast has to be prepared by Jiang Jin.
Jiang Jin is very happy about this.
So he said to Cody:
"Okay, help me pick some wild vegetables around and bring back together the ingredients for breakfast."
"Wild vegetables? Are these things... edible?"
"Of course you can eat it. It's very delicious. Hurry up and don't waste time."
"Oh...ok."
Although Cody nodded in agreement.
But I still feel a little baffled in my heart.
Aren’t the ingredients for breakfast all in the storeroom?
Why do you want to go back with these wild vegetables? Weird man.
Generally speaking, the hosts in the monastery have a very rich breakfast.
Starting early in the morning, they will enjoy grilled beef and pickled oysters.
Consommé with radish and shrimp, stewed eggs in cream, smoked salmon, Bayonne ham, chicken pie and more.
Such a rich menu also corresponds to a later dining time.
Therefore, breakfast in the monastery can usually be eaten around nine o'clock.
The chefs and maids have to prepare more than two hours in advance.
Only in this way can we ensure that the host can enjoy this delicious meal during the meal.
However, that was all in the past.
With Jiang Jin’s cooking skills, how could he be satisfied with such a simple and unvarnished breakfast?
You know, in his opinion, the vast majority of chefs in the world.
They are all apprentice-level existences, and their craftsmanship is very weak.
Since I'm in charge of the cooking now, I have to eat something really good.
For example...fresh wild vegetables picked around the spring.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jin looked at a wild mushroom she picked from the tree.
In his eyes, he could see that the mushroom was filled with very thick mist.
This mushroom is good, let’s use it as the main dish this morning.
The thick mist represents powerful holy energy.
The more powerful the holy energy is, the more delicious the ingredients will be when cooked perfectly.
Naturally, it is also more beneficial to cultivation.
Of course, Cody definitely doesn’t know about this kind of thing.
She just thought the young chef was crazy.
I actually picked so many wild vegetables so early in the morning.
Wild mulberries, wild garlic, radish, Chinese toon... and a large pile of thick mushrooms.
Just when these two people came back with a big basket of wild vegetables.
Cody, who came in as a cook, couldn't help but show doubts.
This... what on earth are you going to make for breakfast?
Is it wild vegetables and rice?
Especially after seeing Jiang Jin coming back with a bag of rice.
The doubtful look in Cody's eyes became more obvious.
In this world, people occasionally eat rice.
But in most cases, gadgets are not the staple food.
But as a special material.
Used to make a dessert called "rice pudding".
Rice pudding is the best dessert of Mrs. Wei Qi, the former chef of the monastery.
The main ingredients of this dessert are milk, round rice, caster sugar, vanilla pods and cinnamon powder.
When making, pour the milk into the steel pot.
Cut the vanilla pod in half and scrape the vanilla seeds inside into the milk with the tip of a knife.
Then add caster sugar and cinnamon powder to the milk.
After boiling, add cooked rice and simmer over low heat.
After cooking, put it into a mold, bake it in the oven until the surface is colored, and enjoy.
Soft and glutinous rice paired with thick fresh milk.
The taste in the mouth is dense and thick, full of milky and rice aroma.
If you like, you can also add raisins, nuts and other accessories.
In short, it is a dessert that everyone in the monastery liked very much.
But obviously, Jiang Jin didn’t bring out the rice to make rice pudding.
In his eyes, rice is the best staple food, not bread.
Although rice can also be used to make a variety of desserts and snacks.
But it can only exude its greatest charm when used as a staple food.
Of course, everyone in the monastery is still accustomed to eating bread as their staple food.
If you want them to get used to eating rice, it still takes a little time.
And this first breakfast was Jiang Jin’s first step in changing everyone’s habits.
Not long after, a wisp of smoke silently rose from the kitchen of the Silent Monastery.
Jiang Jin's not burly figure is constantly busy in the kitchen.
Each piece of food was cleaned and cut.
The charcoal burning in the stove made a crackling sound.
The aroma of charcoal mixed with the aroma of rice floats to the surrounding area.
It drifted into the nose of a green nun who was hanging out.
Suck...suck.
Early in the morning, Elulu's little nose twitched.
I keenly smelled the fragrance wafting not far away.
To be continued...
