As usual, Daolin went out in a hurry after finishing his morning exercise and taking a shower. Today he was going to send a letter home, and he hoped to catch the first wave of Yizu heading west.
There are several postmen preparing their horses at the entrance of the post station. The Imperial Capital Post Station will send out postmasters to various parts of the empire every day. With the imperial capital as the center, four postmasters will set off to the east, west, north, and south.
During the handover in the first big city after leaving the imperial capital, nearby items and letters from home will be unloaded, and things he needs to carry forward will be handed over to him, and he will continue to carry them forward.
The end point of this trip is the city closest to the border of the empire. When you get there, you will be basically clean. After resting there for three days, you will set off again to return to the imperial capital. The operations on the road are the same.
Daolin registered his wrapped family letters, paid the fee, and watched the postmaster put the family letters into the bundle, feeling relieved.
On the way back, he went to the vegetable market again to buy fresh meat and vegetables to be prepared.
When they got home, everyone got up and were doing morning exercises in the courtyard. They practiced the same physical technique, which should have been taught to them by Taishi Xingwei.
Went into the kitchen and made a steaming pot of clear noodle soup for everyone, adding an omelette for each person.
'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' opened the door, and there was a fat man standing at the door. When he saw the courtyard door open, he couldn't wait to hand over the note with the number 2 written on it.
Su Chen took the note and checked it to make sure it was from the store, and then took the man to the living room to register.
This family is not an official of the Imperial City, nor is it a martial arts clan, but a wealthy businessman dealing in jade and jewels, named Tang Mingsan.
"I am lucky enough to have drawn this No. 2 note. I am extremely honored. I actually came here yesterday afternoon, and I could smell the alluring fragrance outside the yard. Coupled with my observation, Lord Wang left with a smile on his face.
You just know that our family is absolutely top-notch.”
"Besides pouring jade and jewelry, my only hobby in my life is eating. You can tell by looking at my belly, so as long as it is delicious, I love to eat. Money is not an issue." Tang San patted his belly and said
Chen Feng said.
Chen Feng smiled and handed the menu over and said, "Please take a look at it."
Tang San took the menu, looked at it, and ordered five dishes, dripping Guanyin, sweet and sour pork ribs, secret braised pork, charcoal grilled steak, a chicken Juechen, and a portion of golden shrimp, diced meat, and egg fried rice.
"I have a small business and don't have many mouths to open my mouth to eat. I'm the only one tonight." Tang San said and handed the menu back.
"If you are a single guest, you probably won't be able to eat these dishes." Chen Feng took the menu and whispered.
"It doesn't matter. If you can't eat it, I'll take it away. I guarantee it won't be wasted. Just make it as ordered."
After agreeing on a time, Tang San left.
Dorian looked at the menu and smiled. These dishes were not difficult, it was just a matter of effort.
The dripping Guanyin is still the same as yesterday. The difference is that this time he does not use internal power as fire, but first puts it on the steamer and lets the dishes cook by themselves.
The secret braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and chicken juechen are all delicious dishes, so Dolin is not in a hurry.
First he went to the market and bought a whole fan of steak.
When he got home, he began to prepare the steak and washed it with water.
To make charcoal-grilled steak, you need to make charcoal grilling ingredients. Heat the pan and stir-fry tangerine peel, cinnamon bark, bay leaves, star anise, kaempferol, grass fruit, and salt. After dry-frying, add some fennel and red pepper and continue dry-frying until the aroma comes out.
Then take out the seasoning and filter out the salt with a filter. The salt falls from the filter like a white waterfall. Sieve out the fried and dried seasoning and put it into a pounding jar and pound it into powder.
Dowling took two lemons and cut them in half, took out the lemon juice and set aside. Cut the green onions into sections, slice the onions, slice the ginger, cut the coriander into sections, and slice the garlic.
Add the spareribs sauce to the lemon juice, stir the barbecued pork sauce evenly and pour it directly onto the washed steak, spread it evenly with your hands, stuff the ground seasoning evenly on the steak, sprinkle the sifted fried salt, and finally
Scallions, ginger slices, garlic slices, and onions are also poured on the steak. The next step is the most tiring process. You need to continue to apply the steak for two hours so that every inch of the steak can be evenly flavored.
In the yard, Jiujiu had already lit the fire, set up the grill, and fixed the steak on the grill.
It was already noon. Dowling used some leftovers from the steak to make beef fried rice for everyone. Everyone was very happy to eat it.
Everyone took a nap at noon, and after getting up, Dolin began to assign tasks.
"Brush the oil every half an hour. I'll leave this to you. I'll deal with the rest of the dishes." Dowling ordered, lighting the firewood under the grill.
"Don't worry, Xiaopang and I will keep an eye on it together." Jijiu nodded and said.
To be honest, Dorian was afraid that he would lose control of his drinking and start talking directly.
Back in the kitchen, Dowling took out the turkey. This 'Yi Ji Jue Chen' uses a large turkey. The 'Yi Ji Jue Chen' recipe is actually the same as the beggar's chicken, except that the turkey is several times the size of an ordinary chicken.
, coupled with the firmness of the meat, it can be enjoyed in one bite, so it has a good name.
First, pluck and bleed the turkey, then crush the dried gardenias and soak them in water. You still need lemon, onion, ginger, garlic, and coriander for seasoning and set aside.
Pour the soaked gardenia water directly on the chicken, then add fried salt, and then massage the turkey. The principle is the same as grilling a large steak, and it takes a long time to absorb the flavor.
Massage for about ten minutes, boil water in a pot, put the massaged turkey into the pot, add peeled onions, ginger, cinnamon, bay leaves, grass fruits, star anise, cooking wine, salt, and pepper, and cook for 20 minutes.
Simmer for another twenty minutes.
While waiting, Daolin first soaked some camellia mushrooms, yellow flowers and other dried vegetables. After that, he also needed to knead the mud, adding straw to the yellow mud to make the mud more adherent.
While making the mud, you can also watch Ji Jin roasting a big steak. Seeing how greedy they were, Dolin decided to grill it for them one day when he was not busy.
After the mud is reconciled and the turkey is almost cooked, take the golden turkey out of the pot and stuff the soaked dried vegetables into the belly of the turkey. After the step is completed, wrap the lotus leaves and two layers of lotus leaves.
After the lotus leaves were dried, the yellow mud was evenly covered on the lotus leaves. After finally smoothing it, Daolin took the beggar's chicken out and placed it next to Jiujiu. After letting them grill the steak, they grilled the beggar's chicken.
After all the preparations were completed, it was time to prepare the sweet and sour pork ribs and the secret braised pork. These two home-cooked dishes were easy to make, and it didn't take Dolin a long time to prepare the ingredients.
Dripping Guanyin has changed from the old duck stage to the old chicken stage. At this time, Daolin began to use his internal power to cook and steam. As time went by, the old chicken was replaced by pigeon. When this dish was completed, today's guest Tang San was also in time.
