The host is a slime [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 74 Western Fantasy Day 3

Hearing so many introductions from the owner of the tavern in one go, Jukes has no intention of being tempted by the food at all.

After all, most of the commissions he receives are spent on food, and he can recite the food from the owner of the tavern with his eyes closed.

The so-called black pudding is not a dessert, but a real dish, and it is also a mixed dish.Black pudding is not like rye bread or wine. Just by listening to the name, you can know what material it is made of. Black pudding is all-encompassing. Generally, a lot of broken things are mixed together and boiled. It is usually animal blood mixed with oats, salt, and spices. , Wrap the outside with some materials, such as cloth, casings, etc., and then throw it in water to boil.

Because animal blood will be slightly Q-bombed after being boiled in high-temperature water, and will change color and black, which is also the origin of "black pudding". At the same time, because of the salt and spices, the price is also slightly more expensive.

As for brown bread, the price is much cheaper. In fact, the raw material of brown bread is similar to rye bread, but its characteristic is that it must be eaten while it is hot.Because once it hardens after waiting for a long time, it can only be sliced ​​and used as a plate.

After the mission as a plate is over, throw it to the pigs to eat. From another perspective, it is not a waste at all.

Of course, this is the practice of taverns and families with a little food and clothing. Poor people even mix this hard thing with water to form a paste, and eat it for several days.

As for eel jelly, it is really a dish of poor people. It is eaten as its name, it is the meat jelly formed after boiled eel and let it cool down.

However, in view of the low overall economic level of the town of Mugla, this dish is also served as a tavern dish.

Pickled herring is not salt-after all, salt is expensive, but smoked, so the pickled herring is not only dark but also has a strong smoke, dry and fishy, ​​like chewing firewood.

There are also boiled vegetables and oatmeal, because they are worried that raw vegetables are poisonous, so whether it is leaf vegetables or root vegetables, they have been fully boiled, and they are completely rotten into a pot of mush.

And there is still no seasoning and salt.

All in all, these dishes are basically affordable and often eaten by ordinary people. In the past, Jukes would not say much considering the overall situation of the tavern.

But it is easy to go from thrift to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

Just now, the taste buds and appetite were opened by the braised vegetables with complex flavors, increasing layers of taste and deep fragrance, and suddenly they swelled, and they couldn't look down on these dry things at all.

※※※

In fact, the owner of the tavern has no confidence in saying it himself.

These dishes were actually made by his wife in the past. His wife's craftsmanship can only be regarded as mediocre, but thinking that most peasant women are at the same level, the boss always feels that he can get by.

But since Ohm made the food, the boss didn't want to eat his wife's cooking anymore.

The proprietress was so annoyed by this that she decided that she would eat a little more with every meal!

There is no harm without comparison. Obviously, they are all similar raw materials, but in the hands of some people, they can really turn decay into magic!

"Then, your stewed pork is gone, so you still have soup, right? Just give me a bowl of soup! You can set the price!" Jukes took a step back, feeling that he had sacrificed too much.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the tavern still rubbed his hands with a puzzled expression on his face: "Customer, it's not that old Tom doesn't want to make money, it's really that stewed soup is the key to making stewed vegetables. If it's less, it's a fatal thing."

At the beginning, Old Tom also thought that buying braised soup after the food was finished would be a fortune, but Ohm told him that the stewed pork soup should be kept, and the longer it is kept, after various ingredients and time, it will be slowly polished. Co-precipitation, the more charming the taste.

He didn't believe it at first, after all, this kind of practice completely exceeded his common sense in the past few decades, but under the eyes of his eccentric wife, he could only ignore the demands of the guests.

Fortunately, Ohm didn't lie. Unlike the guests, Old Tom has been eating a little braised pork every day for more than a month. Naturally, he knows very well that the taste of the braised pork now is more fragrant than when Ohm just prepared it. , As long as you smell the taste, you will be salivated.

So old Tom cherishes that pot of stewed soup even more than Ohm. If he hadn’t entertained guests, he would have wished to sell the stewed meat by himself—because every time Ohm sells the stewed meat, there will always be some The soup really made his heart ache.

Regarding this, the proprietress said: What should I do if the old man is stingy?Just scold me.

※※※

Jukes just wanted to eat delicious food, and he didn't intend to cut off other people's financial resources. Naturally, facing Old Tom's remarks, he had no choice but to do so.However, the companions made eye contact, and they all reached a consensus that we will set off tomorrow, and then we will buy more braised pork to take with us on the way!

Old Tom didn't care too much about the plan of this mercenary team. When he walked around the tavern and found that there was no one he needed to greet, he took the time to go to the kitchen.

As soon as the kitchen door was closed, the embarrassed expression on Old Tom's face disappeared immediately. He ran to the small dining table at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his fat body, and found a plate full of sauces full of rich sauce. , oily, delicious, crispy and tasty stewed pork - this is what Ohm left for the three of them to eat.

In the most conspicuous place in the kitchen, in the big pot brought in by Ohm, the brine was gurgling, emitting an intoxicating aroma during the stewing process. Ohm was still explaining to the proprietress: "... like this, once the brine If the water level drops to this point, enough broth must be added, otherwise the soup will taste bitter if it is too thick and stewed.”

"However, even if it is broth, its taste is much weaker than that of brine, so every time you add broth, you should add some fatter meat stew first, so that the layers of marinade will be richer and more harmonious. Because the taste of the meat is cooked out rather than boiled in, so the taste may not be so perfect, it is recommended to eat it by yourself."

The proprietress Lisa was listening carefully, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Old Tom had already reached out to the table, and hurriedly said loudly: "Hey, how can you steal it first!"

Old Tom was caught upright, smiling, he was embarrassed by his age, but he didn't intend to give up the food he got, he blew wildly on a chicken wing he just picked up, and couldn't wait to take a bite of it .

The fragrant juice burst out of the mouth in an instant, one bite, the chicken is soft and smooth, the soft meat bursts out the juice in the mouth, and the fresh and fragrant taste fills the whole taste buds - this is the taste!No matter how much he eats, he will never feel tired!Oh, how can there be such a delicious taste in this world!He has spent the past few decades in vain!

Old Tom finished a chicken wing with a few mouthfuls. Seeing Lisa's willow brows stand on end, he quickly handed the other two big chicken legs to Lisa and Ohm in the bowl: "I'm afraid of the cold and the taste won't taste good. It's a pity."

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense! Little Ohm's cooking tastes hot and delicious, and it tastes cold as well. You're so greedy!" Lisa mercilessly exposed her husband's lame excuse, and snatched the pot from his hand. Bite off the chicken wing, and handed the other chicken leg to Ohm.

But Ohm waved his hand: "Aunt Lisa, you and Uncle Tom can eat, I'm not hungry yet."

"He has already eaten the chicken wings! This piece of meat is yours!" Lisa took two chicken legs aggressively, and brought them to Ohm's mouth boldly, "Little Ohm, eat more, look at you How hard it is, why don't you gain any flesh!" The proprietress looked at him pitifully.

Ohm looks too plump, there are two proprietresses as wide as him, silent - I really can't bear to tell you that I have a physique that is said to be the one who eats only and doesn't gain weight, and if I really want to eat with an open stomach, I can't eat enough I am afraid.

Ohm also finds it strange to say that he is very clear that his body in this world is not a slime, but he also vaguely feels that he is not a human. After the mercenary fox Nick and the others, as well as the green-skinned Colin and the lizardman who was covered in scales but walked upright on two hind legs and was nearly two meters tall, he felt that it didn't matter if he wasn't human.

Anyway, no matter what race he was before, he just needs to be a slime now.

"However, little Ohm, you've given this to me now, are you planning to leave?" Lisa asked worriedly.

Ohm came back to his senses, and facing the concerned look on the fat woman's face, he smiled and said, "I don't have this plan yet, I have to trouble Aunt Lisa to take me in for a while."

"No trouble, no trouble." Before Lisa could speak, Old Tom hurriedly said, "To tell you the truth, it's thanks to you that our tavern's business is so good! So you can stay here as long as you want!"

Upon hearing this, Lisa gave Old Tom a look of "this attitude is quite reasonable", and then said to Ohm: "That's right, Auntie is just worried that you taught me this craft, for you..."

Ohm pretended not to see the couple's eye contact: "Don't worry, Aunt Lisa, I have more than one skill."

"There are new ones?" Old Tom's eyes lit up subconsciously, "What... oh?!" Before he could say anything, Lisa pinched him, so he counseled: "No, nothing ,forget it."

Ohm smiled: "It doesn't matter, I still need Uncle Tom to help you."

※※※

Ohm doesn't plan on making braised pork all the time.

Ohm can't remember who once said a word - if you don't want to die, you have to eat, since you want to eat, you have to eat it.

Ohm, who used to be a slime, didn't feel much about this sentence, but since he was able to taste it, he felt deeply about this sentence.

Although his current big appetite has turned his focus on food into quantity, it doesn't mean that he doesn't pursue quality anymore.

The level of technology and economy in the Qing Dynasty was not very developed, but the people's pursuit of delicious food has never changed.

Especially after Ohm added seafood to the dining tables of the common people in the later period, those aspiring chefs carried out more inheritance and improvement on this basis. By the time he left that world, the cuisine was already very rich .

Ohm doesn't have much talent in cooking, and he cooks more according to the data-based recipes collected by the lady. In the words of a famous chef he met later, it is "infinitely innovative, but lacking in emotion."

Ohm doesn't know how to integrate emotions into cooking, but his self-confessed ordinary craftsmanship is flourishing in this world.

So he also gave birth to a little ambition and pride.

But because he doesn't know much about many grains, vegetables and fruits in this world, even if he wants to flex his muscles, he still feels a bit like a clever woman can't cook without rice.

He chose to make stewed pork at the beginning because the cooking method here is not only roasted but also boiled, but it is still boiled with water, and boiled with some salt and spices if conditions permit.

There is no way to do this. The cooking method is limited by the cooking materials. There is no soy sauce, no seasoning, and there is no wok. The environment can be said to be very sinister.

Not only is there a shortage of food in this world—in fact, people can eat a lot, but people generally know that they can eat very little—but also cooking utensils are few and strange in shape, such as meat hammers, meat saws, knee breakers... It doesn’t look like it Kitchen utensils, on the contrary, are like instruments of torture.

Therefore, Ohm intends to find another way, after boiling the marinade, and then proceed to a new cooking direction - sauce.
