"Hey..." Roland couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at the people who had nothing to eat. Look at the pitiful food, which was either fried, fried, roasted or boiled. Roland said he was not surprised by this. After all, the author of The Lord of the Rings
Mr. Tolkien is from E-country, and the cuisine of E-country is a powerful presence in the dark cuisine world, so it is not surprising that Middle-earth has a poor catering technology tree.
Roland felt a headache when he thought of Country E's famous national dishes in his previous life: fried fish, French fries, and fried fish with French fries. Although Middle-earth is not as outrageous, it is not much different. As a country with a food culture dating back 5,000 years, Roland has a headache.
Roland, who came from a big foodie empire, naturally felt that his stomach was aggrieved.
"Bang, bang!" A crisp sound came, and Roland frowned with dissatisfaction. Roland, whose thoughts were interrupted by the noise, raised his head and saw his "Flying Lizard" immersed in a plate on the table.
Copying the beans, Roland touched a few, opened his palms and looked at them carefully, and found that they were soybeans commonly grown by the people.
Roland's thoughts began to wander. He remembered that this was one of the few supplementary foods and snacks available to the people of the Kingdom of Lagland. In this era of scarce and barren living materials, a plate of salted beans was already a rare treat among neighbors when chatting in the evening.
snacks.
"Maybe we can start with beans..." Roland propped up his chin. After all, bean products are not difficult to make, and everything from grinding soy milk to grinding is ready-made.
…
"Your Highness, you..." Nyx looked worriedly at Roland, who was carrying a sack of soybeans into the castle kitchen, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull him.
"Your Highness..." The cooks and cooks in the kitchen looked at Roland with some fear, and each of them carefully saluted Roland.
"Well, come two people and soak these soybeans for me!" Roland put the bag on the ground.
The cooks and women who were "feeding the animals" looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as His Highness did not come to accuse him, after all, the innovative food they had provided to the castle had left the kitchen without work for a long time. The entire lord's castle
The kitchen in the house has actually become a place dedicated to serving meals for the servants...
"How long will this soak, Your Highness?" an older cook asked cautiously.
"At least 12 hours, plus! Don't let me innovate anymore! Whoever wastes my things again, I'll hang him on a swing on the top of the city!" Roland said murderously.
Everyone quickly shrank their necks and lowered their heads in fear. Roland felt relieved as he looked at the servants who looked like quails. At least he no longer had to worry about his tofu project being poisoned by the dark cooking masters.
With Roland's intimidation, at least no one dared to offend Roland by using their necks as a swing, so everyone quickly soaked the soybeans in the water.
…
"What are you doing?" Nyx asked, holding Roland's hand with some confusion after he returned to the room.
"Of course I'm trying to make delicious food for you!" Roland felt a sense of comfort in his heart when he listened to Nyx's soft voice, and the sound like a trickle gently soaked into his heart.
"..." Nyx's expression changed. She stared into Roland's eyes in shock, trying to see something in Roland's eyes, but the fear and panic in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Don't worry, I won't mess around!" Roland patted the girl's head and comforted her. It seems that the kingdom's dark cuisine has caused a lot of psychological impact and harm to the little girl.
Regarding the food in Middle-earth, Roland can only describe it in a few words. The halflings who are the best at eating are not out of the category of frying, stewing and roasting. The regent of Gondor can only enjoy ordinary food, which may be more expensive, but the taste is better.
Just like the rest of the food, it's bland and uninspiring.
"You'll know after you try it!" Roland gave the lie.
…
The next day, Roland came to the kitchen on time. The whole kitchen was silent and everyone was respectfully waiting for Roland's arrival with their heads lowered.
"Is the stone mill ready?" Roland suddenly said.
"Ready, ready!" The head chef came up with a smile on his face.
"Grind all those beans into soy milk!" Roland directed.
"It's just like you grinding rice into rice milk!" Roland said, looking at the chefs who were hesitant to move.
After a short while, the kitchen finally sent a cook to report to Roland that the soy milk was ready.
"Let's go!" Roland became interested and walked quickly towards the kitchen. Nyx, who was tired of being in Roland's arms, stamped his feet angrily and trotted after Roland dissatisfied.
…
"Yeah! Well done!" As soon as Roland entered the kitchen, he smelled the original fragrance of beans, and there was a large vat of milky white soy milk with a yellowish tint.
"Your Highness, do you want to serve this to everyone?" The cooks looked at Roland. After all, what is the use of grinding beans into pulp?
"Take a linen cloth and filter the bean dregs, then call me! Don't throw away the filtered bean dregs!" Roland commanded, these bean dregs should not appear in the tofu, as it will affect the taste.
Hearing this, several cooks quickly found clean linens, took out an empty pottery vat, and used wooden ladles to scoop out the soy milk and filter it.
In this way, Roland waited boringly for more than an hour, and finally the filtering was completed. So Roland began to instruct them to boil the soy milk, and then filtered it again. Then came the most critical moment. Fortunately, a batch of gypsum was obtained during the system sign-in. Originally,
Thinking that the useless gypsum now has a use, Roland has no lactone and cannot make brine, so he can only use gypsum for the rest...
This was Roland's first time ordering tofu. After ordering the tofu and instructing people to keep the tofu warm, all Roland had to do was wait. After all, he didn't know if he could succeed on his first try.
After about twenty minutes, Roland was surprised to find that the soy milk had solidified! In other words, Roland had successfully produced the pre-product of tofu - tofu curd!
This was not bad, Roland was intoxicated by the charming aroma of tofu, while others could not help but twitch their eyes when they saw their king intoxicated by the strange smell, but everyone was very smart and did not say anything and could only lower their heads lower.
"Huh~huh~" Roland hummed, and took out the three products provided by the system from the system space - soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, etc. Then Roland found a few cloves of garlic in the kitchen and threw them to the chef to smash them.
After mincing the garlic, I excitedly mixed up the tofu curd.
"Hmm! Fragrant! This is the taste!" As an authentic ancient capital person, authentic tofu bread is the ancient capital people's favorite breakfast! Being able to taste the taste of home in this place in Middle-earth almost made Roland burst into tears.
.
"Um..." Nyx watched as Roland stuffed the thing that looked like brain tissue into his mouth in large gulps, and added bright red spicy oil... Nyx almost felt nauseated.
"Come and taste it!" Roland smiled, scooped out a spoon, and moved it towards Nyx.
In Nyx's eyes, Roland at this moment was like a gangster who wanted to feed him poison, approaching with evil intentions, and all the pores in Nyx's body suddenly resisted Roland.
