crush the rich

What the woman made for Yin Lian was a bowl of porridge, serious rice porridge.It seems that this rice already exists in this world, and it has been fully utilized by people.

Although Yin Lian felt a little uncomfortable that these people with colorful hair were eating Chinese style rice as their staple food, but to her surprise, the woman's pot of porridge was very delicious.

The rice grains are sticky, fragrant, and feel just right.The porridge is added with an unfamiliar ingredient processed from flower petals. The aroma is very slight, but it tastes very refreshing.The most surprising thing is that this porridge turned out to be salty and sweet.

There are many salty and sweet dishes in Chinese cuisine, but Yin Lian has never seen salty and sweet soup and porridge.Generally speaking, whether it is salty or sweet snacks or dishes, the taste will be heavy, and it is not suitable for soup and porridge.In the dishes, when both salty and sweet flavors are used at the same time, the transition of the two flavors will be paid attention to when cooking.

The essence of soup and porridge is soup, the taste diffuses too fast, and it is impossible to keep a certain taste on a certain level, but the rice porridge made by the woman is very viscous, and there are ingredients like flower buds floating in it. It is a piece of individual petals that are pickled and dehydrated and poured into various colloidal protein products, including meat jelly, fish jelly, milk jelly, protein jelly and other soup products that will freeze, and then made ingredients.

In the bowl of rice porridge that Yin Lian ate, two kinds of flower buds were added, one was fish jelly flavor, and the other was egg milk flavor. The taste of rice porridge will permeate into the rice porridge. The fish soup is delicious and the custard is sweet. This bowl of porridge alone is enough to be regarded as a unique meal.

There are usually pork belly in the petals. The pork belly is thick and difficult to taste, and it has too much fiber, so it is actually not suitable for consumption.But the bowl that Yin Lian ate, I don’t know if it’s because of the type of flower itself or the cooking method. The surface of the bud is flexible and tender, and the taste of the thin layer is more like a single layer of complete seaweed, but it does not belong to seaweed. The fishy smell of the sea.

Just looking at the appearance and taste, this bowl of rice porridge is simply a masterpiece.But it would be wrong to think that this peasant lady is a culinary master hidden among the people. In fact, the other party is really an ordinary peasant woman.

According to what the lady said, it is not surprising that everyone in this world has this level of craftsmanship.At first, Yin Lian thought that the other party was being modest, but after careful observation, she found that the farm aunt's expression and attitude were not fake, and she really said what she said sincerely.

And what Yin Lian saw next proved this point.

The nine-year-old girl in the farmer's family is actually very skilled in handicrafts. Yin Lian saw with her own eyes that she borrowed a utensil to make a large bowl of noodles.

Then it's worth mentioning that the little girl certainly didn't make noodles purely by hand, and she couldn't possibly have that kind of strength.It’s just that there are many kitchen utensils with exquisite designs but uncomplicated structures in the farmers’ homes, so many that they fill up all the bamboo racks on the entire wall, which is amazing.The functions of these kitchen utensils are also very rich. The little girl successfully made noodles in just a quarter of an hour relying on several utensils.

These appliances are different from those electric noodle machines that Yin Lian has seen. Most of them are manual, and the materials are mainly wood, bamboo, stone, and iron. They are not expensive, but they are very convenient to use. efficient.

Yin Lian tried one of the small stone mills.This kind of stone mill is only about the size of a washbasin, and it is not heavy. In fact, the stone slab on it is only about an inch and a half thick. A child can pull it for grinding with a little force, but the grinding force is not strong, and it cannot be used for grinding. Grind the grains thoroughly.

This small stone mill is specially used to grind rice grains before cooking porridge.In this way, the rice grains that have been milled and put into the pot are a little broken but not complete. When used to cook porridge, it can become sticky and delicious in a short time.In addition, there are many similar utensils. For example, the flower buds that Yin Lian thought were complicated to make before are actually very simple to make with the utensils.

Farmers collect flower buds in the right season, put them in special utensils for pressing, then pickle them, inject soup with special bamboo tube needles, and finally dip a little starch on the needles, and then put them into special wooden grids for cooking That's it.

The pre-processing process takes less than a quarter of an hour, and it takes time to dry, but after drying and storing, the process of cooking a flower bud only takes more than ten seconds. It takes a few seconds.

It saves more effort than making dumplings.

After Yin Lian spoke, although the peasant woman was quite surprised, she thought that she was just sick, such as a cold and inflammation, so she couldn't speak.Because Yin Lian took a gold bracelet as the boarding fee before, the woman's attitude is quite enthusiastic.

So Yin Lian also knew from the woman's mouth that the owner of this family was named Dana, who was a very ordinary farmer.The only thing the two couples are very proud of is that their daughter is very good at cooking and seasoning is very good.

"Wika is much more talented in seasoning than both of us. We hope that when she grows up, she will be able to pass the exam as a chef, and we will enjoy the blessings when she grows up." Mrs. Dana said with a smile.

Yin Lian thought about their tone, and then guessed that chef might be a relatively prestigious profession in this world.

She smiled, and said to the little girl Wika: "Is Wika so powerful? I really want to try Wika's work if I have the chance."

Wika was very happy when she was praised, and said, "I'll make a dish for my sister to try tonight!"

That night, Wika really cooked a dish, and after Yin Lian ate it, she immediately noticed the difference.To be honest, the dish made by Wika is just an ordinary home-cooked dish, the ingredients are not very complicated, and it does not use a lot of spices like some heavy-tasting dishes on Earth.

If I have to say it, the seasoning and heat are very precise, which makes the whole dish very comfortable to eat, with a particularly delicious and refreshing feeling.

To be honest...it's better than Yin Changning's cooking.

Yin Lian finally knew what Dana Fu said about the so-called talent.To be honest, before actually tasting Wika's works, she didn't really believe in the so-called gift of taste.From Yin Lian's point of view, the so-called talent of taste is at most a more sensitive tongue, able to taste the ingredients and quality of food.Her own tongue is very sensitive, but it obviously has nothing to do with cooking.

Anyway, her cooking skills were not as good as Yin Changning's.

As for the tongue that is so sensitive that you can distinguish the ingredients and recipes of a dish... Yin Lian has never seen it before, but based on general logic, he knows that it is not a good thing.Using the production process of vinegar garlic as an example, after the garlic is soaked in vinegar and garlic, it will emit a spicy taste. In theory, a cup of vinegar soaked in a large amount of garlic for a short time and a cup of vinegar soaked in a small amount of garlic for a long time, The spiciness is likely to be similar.In this case, how to distinguish the proportion of ingredients?In addition, the vinegar garlic itself will produce a chemical reaction during the soaking process, and the taste will also change a lot. If people who have used vinegar and garlic alone but have not tried vinegar garlic taste it, they will be very disappointed. It is difficult to launch a specific production program.

And unless you are a person who likes garlic or acetic acid, it is a tragedy if you taste the original material when using vinegar garlic.

But now Yin Lian realizes that there is indeed a talent for seasoning, and the reason why she can't understand it is because in her world, the food culture has not yet developed to the point of talent.If the level of the entire industry is still in a situation where only Yiping's technology, experience, and formula can clearly distinguish the gap in realm, then there will be no obvious gap in talent at all.

And only after the technology has developed to a certain level, most people can easily rely on equipment or skills to have extremely outstanding craftsmanship, and the gap in talent will be revealed.

According to Yin Lian, Mrs. Dana and Wika's skills are already very good, but Wika is indeed more talented in seasoning. Her works are a little more amazing than Mrs. Dana's. Although the difference is small, it tastes better. The taste is completely different.

Then Mrs. Dana said: "Didn't Ms. Lian say that she wanted to go to the city to see it? Just three days later, this month's Food Festival, I want Wei Ka to sign up for the chef competition of the children's group. Why don't Miss Lian come with her at that time?" Let's go. At that time, the village will uniformly arrange for Ammon to carry people."

Yin Lian didn't know exactly what the so-called Amu Beast Car was, but she still pretended to know and complied.

And a few days before the start of the food festival, Yin Lian took the opportunity to learn a few things from Wika, the most important thing is the use of various kitchen utensils.In private, she secretly studied their structure and took pictures of them, wondering if they could be imitated and electrified after going back.

In fact, Yin Lian's cooking skills are not bad, but it's the first time he sees such a variety of utensils, and it is inevitable that he will be a little clumsy when using them for the first time.

Wika misunderstood, thinking that she was a young lady who had never touched kitchen utensils.It seems that everyone in this world values ​​culinary skills, even nobles.Even noble ladies who don't need to cook by themselves will take the initiative to learn related skills. One or two specialty dishes can be displayed as one of their talents, just like Yin Lian world's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

So Wei Ka looked very surprised, and said to Yin Lian: "Sister, your parents dote on you too much. You are so old, you haven't started learning to cook yet?"

Yin Lian was ashamed to show off in front of Wika that she was good at cooking in front of her compatriots, but in front of Dana's family, she looked rough and unsightly, so she just smiled at her and pretended to be a beginner with peace of mind.

However, compared to real beginners, Yin Lian still has some skills in this area, which made Wika think that she is very talented, so she enthusiastically taught her for several days.

And during this process, Yin Lian also discovered that in this world, farmers seem to have a relatively high status. Although they are a little worse than chefs, they can be regarded as middle class.And all kinds of food grown by farmers will be strictly graded because of the difference in appearance and taste, and the price will also vary greatly.

Soon after that, it was the day of the food festival, and the Dana couple sent Yin Lian and Wei Ka to the entrance of the village and entrusted them to the coachman, although Yin Lian finally knew what the so-called Ammon was.
