Before Jiang Yi came to the kitchen, he took some dried chili, gourmet powder, and other condiments from the warehouse.
The chicken was killed on the spot and was very fresh. The two lively Crucian Carps were also slaughtered on the spot. They were plucked out of their internal organs, sprinkled with cooking wine, smeared with salt, and placed in a clay pot to marinate for a while.
The stove was lit up, and a layer of cooking oil was poured over it. A faint smoke rose, and some pepper and dried chili were sprinkled. A fragrance instantly filled the air.
He poured in the chicken cubes, poured soy sauce, stir-fried them for a few minutes, poured in water, and braised them for a while.
Jiang Yi's skillful technique dazzled the fatty who was starting a fire under the stove. He was completely convinced. The dishes were not cooked yet, and the fragrance emitted from the pot was something he had never smelled before in his life.
A few minutes later, a plate of steaming spicy chicken was served. Then, two marinated Crucian Carps were placed in the pot. The boiling cooking oil fried the Crucian Carps on both sides until they were golden yellow, and they continued to boil in water.
Before the pot was ready, Jiang Yi cut the whole piece of pork belly into a uniform shape and put it into the clay pot one by one. After boiling it for a few minutes, the fishy foam floated away and he fished it out and washed it. At this time, the carp in the pot was also ready.
Two fragrant braised carp were placed on a porcelain plate. The pot was cleared, and the steamer was placed. The pork belly with the ingredients was steamed together with the plate.
He smeared white sugar, mixed it with soy sauce and Shao wine, served it with ginger slices and chopped green onions, covered the lid, and sealed the surrounding area. He shouted,"Fatty, add fire!"
"Ah! Ahhh…"
The fat boy, who had been dumbfounded for a long time, woke up and nodded repeatedly. He carried a few pieces of wood and added them to the stove.
In just a moment, the flames that came out of the stove lit up the entire kitchen. It was already dark, but the oil lamps in the kitchen had already been lit up. Under the bright lights, Jiang Yi made a few more dishes.
The legendary Tang Dynasty actually didn't have much to eat. Potato, peanuts, corn, tomatoes, and so on. These were all imported into China from overseas during the Ming Dynasty.
Jiang Yi couldn't possibly have so many vegetables that he had never seen before, could he? It was fine to get some seasonings, but it was not a good thing to have too many fresh things. It was easy to make people suspicious.
Li Er and the others had seen these chili peppers before. It was easy to explain that he still had them. If someone really questioned him, he could just say that he had hidden them.
About an hour later, spicy chicken, braised carp, Dongpo pork, Mapo tofu, sweet and sour pork ribs, and other fragrant dishes were out of the pot.
"Fatty, come, have a taste…"
Jiang Yi took off his apron, scaring the fat boy silly."Young Master, I…I think I won't eat it?”
"Cut the crap, let's eat and see!"
Jiang Yi cursed and frightened the fat boy. Only then did he dare to stuff a piece of spicy chicken into his mouth. Just as he touched the tip of his tongue, a wave of spiciness touched the taste and instantly swept through his entire body. His eyes widened, his mouth tightened, and he nodded.
"How is it? Speak." Jiang Yi was getting impatient.
"So…so delicious…"
The fatty was about to go crazy. He had been in the imperial kitchen for seven to eight years, and he had never heard of such delicious food. His eyes were red with excitement."Young Master, your…your culinary skills are unparalleled in the palace. It's too delicious.”
"Haha, right? Other than the ones on my plate, you can eat the rest later. Serve the dishes!"
Jiang Yi waved his hand and turned to leave, which made the fat boy extremely excited.
One had to know that the dishes could not be filled to the brim on a single plate. There was quite a bit left in the pottery basin beside them. Although these servants could not sit at the table, they could actually eat the food cooked by their master. It was really a good fortune that they had cultivated in their previous lives.
Jiang Yi went out of the kitchen and thought about what wine to drink. There were no outsiders in the manor now, but there were quite a few high-quality white wines such as Wuliang Ye and Moutai in the warehouse.
Sigh! Just get a bottle of Wuliang Ye to drink.
Jiang Yimo hid in the study room with a person and entered the warehouse. He took out a bottle of Wuliang liquor. He didn't dare to take out the bottle directly, but poured it into the wine jar. Then, he carried it back to the hall.
"Liu 'er, come and eat together…"
Although Liu 'er was a servant girl, she was different from ordinary servant girls. She served Jiang Yi and received a lot of preferential treatment.
It was reasonable, but the little girl seemed to be very shy. She walked to the table nervously and did not dare to say,"Young Master, Liu 'er…Liu' er should eat with Butler Jiang and the others.”
"Liu 'er, be good. From today onwards, you will eat at this table…"
Jiang Yi thought of a weird uncle. He pulled the juicy Liu 'er to sit beside him and put a piece of Dongpo Pork into his mouth."Delicious, right?"
Liu 'er's eyes lit up as her body tensed up. She forgot her fear and nodded like a chick pecking at rice." Mmm…It's…It's delicious…"
"Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang!"
Just as Jiang Yi was about to laugh, a ghost-like shout came from outside the door. Then, he saw two tall young men running over from afar. After a while, they arrived in front of the hall."Haha, Brother Jiang, it's not that I want to disturb you, but the fragrance in your house is really tempting. I could smell it from two streets away, but unfortunately, I was dragged by my father to train the soldiers, so I couldn't leave. Fortunately, fortunately, I finally made it in time…"
It was Cheng Chumo and Zhangsun Chong, who shamelessly sat on the chair.
Looking at the table full of fragrant dishes, he rubbed his hands."The ancients said that food and lust are human nature! Brother Jiang, how could you not invite your brother when you have such delicious food?”
"Did I ask you to come?"
Jiang Yi was furious. How could this f * cking shameless person reach this stage?
However, no one paid attention to him. Cheng Chumo was just like his father. When he saw that he couldn't walk, he picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. He was stunned and stared blankly."It's…it's…it's really eaten by immortals. Brother Jiang, this…this is also from you?”
