Chapter 12: Incredible, Incredible
Wang Yong... is actually a little interested in Cao Cao's promise. For a man like him who was born in another world, conquering a noble and beautiful woman is both a challenge and an instinct. The key is to continue opening a store like this, in this messy shida
"The status of chefs in this world is much higher than that of chefs in the feudal era of time and space. This also means that my challenge was not unsuccessful from the beginning!" Wang Yong silently cheered himself up.
Cao Cao and others had a great time eating this meal. They ate all the side dishes by several people. The last bit of soup was used to make rice, and they all had round belly and a happy expression on their faces.
"I feel like I'm going to be invincible!" Cao Ren patted his belly, looking like a tomboy-like behavior.
"Hua, pay a little attention to the image. This is not home." Cao Cao scolded in a low voice when he saw this.
"What's the matter? It's all about our own people!" Cao Ren disagreed. Well, Wang Yong felt that his existence was once again ignored by gorgeously.
A group of beakers and swallows stood up and left talking and laughing. Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian, the three only green leaves, also silently followed, as if they were used to this way of getting along. Only Dian Wei looked back at Wang Yong, and that was all.
"Carry it out!" Wang Yong shook his head. He could conquer someone with just one meal. He didn't have such an idea.
About half an hour later, several soldiers came over and paid 12 sackcloth bags for the meal promised by Cao Cao, each of which was half a stone pack. One stone was about 60 kilograms, and one sackcloth bag was 30 kilograms of grain.
Unfortunately, it was not corn, but black beans for feeding horses and wheat that were relatively few people ate. Wang Yong carefully checked it. The quality of black beans was not much different from that of later generations, which made him feel relieved. As far as he knew, the early black beans were really not allowed to be eaten. As for wheat, these days, they were all boiled directly after they were unshelled, at least what they saw and heard so far was undoubtedly.
"It's really a waste of resources..." Wang Yong couldn't bear it. Then he remembered that the existence of steamed buns seemed to appear in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the book "Shi Ming" written by Liu Xi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were words such as "steamed cakes, soup cakes, scorpion cakes, marrow cakes, golden cakes, and sou cakes", which shows that pasta has begun to appear.
"But it's so strange!" Wang Yong murmured in a low voice, "It's obviously an era when I like food, and the development process of civilization is no different from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Why does it seem that they have never heard of pasta?"
Wang Yong felt strange for the first time and felt something was wrong. Then he suppressed the idea. The weirdness of this world may have at most impact on him, and he probably won't be able to use it.
"Well... your strength has increased again?" Wang Yong picked up the burlap bag and thought he wanted to use his hands, but he picked up a bag with one hand. The key was that it was a little lighter. Over the past month, one or two days later, he felt that his physical fitness had improved a little. At first, he thought it was an illusion, but now it seems that it is true.
"I don't know what level my final level will reach. Maybe I can't make it to the chef industry in the future, so I can change my career and become a general." Wang Yong said self-deprecatingly. It is impossible to be a general or a general. Fighting and killing are not in line with modern people who have lived in a comfortable and peaceful environment for a long time.
He put the linen bag into the warehouse, opened a bag of wheat and weighed a bucket and put it aside. Then he searched in the warehouse for a long time and found a stone mill, one big and one small. It seemed that it was bought by the former store owner's interest, but the warehouse had been covered with dust for a long time.
"Can you still use it?" Wang Yong picked up two stone mills, put them in the patio, and scooped out the water from the water tank to clean them. The two dusty stone mills gradually returned to their former appearance under his cleaning.
"It can still be used!" Wang Yong said in surprise. In this way, there is no need to buy another one. This thing is not very expensive, but in the spirit of "save a little, it's okay if you can make do with it!"
Put it in the patio and dry it, and the sun is almost dry in an hour. Nothing is good in the year of drought. The only good thing is that you don’t be afraid of sudden rain in the sky when you are drying things.
"Haha... it's drying very quickly..." Wang Yong shook his head. Nowadays, water can't be harvested from the wells these days. It's a month or two before he will run out of the city and fetch water from the riverbed that is about to dry up.
He poured the wheat that had been measured into a stone mill until the wheat was ground into powder, and it would not take much effort. What he was even more worried about was whether the handle would be broken when he used too much force.
"I thought it was easy..." Looking at the powder mixed with wheat shells and wheat, Wang Yongcai knew that many things that seemed very simple before traveling through time were actually not simple. For example, when he grinds a bucket of wheat, it took at least an hour or even longer. If he wanted to have a thinner wheat flour, he had to work harder.
This is not the end. Take out a sieve, preferably a very dense one. Put the swept wheat flour mixture on and slowly sift it out to sif the snow-white and crystal wheat flour is more troublesome than rotating a stone mill.
"It's only so much..." Looking at the flour that had shrunk in the box, Wang Yong was a little helpless. With this time, the corn and rice had been boiled twice. It is said that the white steamed buns are something that only rich people eat, and maybe it's really a matter. Just because this is just a step to grind flour, he wasted a lot of time.
"But next, it's simple!" Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and began to add water and dough.
In order to avoid adding some oil in your hands, it is really a little bit of oil. Peanut oil is magical in this world, but the price is not cheap, so it is best to save as much as possible. Now is not enough to let him squander at will.
Adding the yeast, he followed him to two packs of natural yeast powder, and then he also cultivated natural yeast independently, but it was not enough to be used. After all, his life was indeed tight in the first ten days.
"I have to wait another hour... I'll take the opportunity to prepare for something else!" Seeing the dough that was fermenting, Wang Yong shrugged and began to work hard.
I was only planning to make some steamed buns, but I thought about it carefully and couldn't stand it if I had no oil and water, so I simply went out and exchanged half a pound of corn for a pound of wild boar. This thing is that the lean meat rate is relatively high and the taste is better than that of domestic pigs. The problem is that the smell is also very heavy. The pickling process is also indispensable, and it takes a lot of time. Finally, a little vegetables are added to complete these, and the dough has already started to be produced.
"Very good, I didn't put too much yeast!" Wang Yong sniffed it carefully. If the yeast is added too much, the fermented taste will be very strong. Some people like this taste very much, but I have to say that this taste will destroy the flavor of bread or steamed buns.
Speaking of which, in the West, steamed buns are also called steamed bread in a certain island country.
Rub, rub flat with a twisted pole, and finally stretch it into a long rod-shaped strip. Traditionally, grab pieces of dough with your hands, and of course, you can also divide it into pieces of dough with a kitchen knife. The key to forming the ball requires a steamer.
There was no such thing as steamer in this world, but at Wang Yong's request, someone specially hired to make two large steamer and four small steamer. If you didn't use it at that time, it didn't mean you couldn't use it in the future. The opportunity will always be left to those who are prepared.
"I didn't expect that you would make it work so soon!" Wang Yong said proudly at the steamer in front of him. He thought that he would buy wheat at the latest next month and talk about it, but he didn't expect that he would be so much ahead of time.
The pot is ready-made. Add water, and then put the dough and the dough with meat filling into a large steamer. He had steamed buns before, but did not put the distance too close. During the steaming process, the yeast will further play a role. The dough, the size of a baby, will instantly expand as big as a fist, or even larger.
"I still remember the first time I steamed buns, but ten steamed buns opened the rice cooker..." Wang Yong recalled the scene when he first steamed buns and couldn't help but smile. It was better to say that he ate a big steamed bun than 10 steamed buns.
The key is the heat. Even if you use a biogas stove, the heat control is very important. After coming to this world, it took him three days to adapt to the heat, thanks to the biogas stove, not the firewood, otherwise it would take longer.
"Sniff..." Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Wang Yong, "Shopkeeper, I suspect you are carrying me to make delicious food!"
"I^&%^" Wang Yong was shocked and came to his senses. However, Xun Yu was lying beside the stove, greedily sniffing the fragrance emitted from the steamer.
"I'm clearly closed the door?" Wang Yong looked outside the door, but found that except for Xun Yu, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and Le Jin also came. Finally, the little girl named Dian Wei was hiding behind them.
"Ah... that..." Le Jin, who has a more lively personality, walked up, "I just went to the yamen. We just walked here and didn't plan to eat, but Xun Sima suddenly sniffed the smell and rushed into the store."
"This is my supper!" Wang Yong guarded the steamer behind his back and looked carefully at the illegal invaders.
"We spend money to buy it!" Xun Yu immediately stated, "The price will definitely satisfy you!"
"Is it really good that your logistics manager is so spendthy?" Wang Yong pointed to Xun Yu, who turned into a foodie. By the way, this guy was originally a big foodie, right?!
"Anyway, we don't spend the money in the treasury. Of course we don't care about her personal behavior." Cao Ren also looked at Xun Yu with a headache, "By the way, Yanyan, you have an identity at least. It's not good to ignore your image like this, right?"
"Hey!" Xun Yu didn't care at all, but looked directly at Wang Yong, "Can you eat it?"
"The amount I made this time is not much, so I will give you one at most..." Wang Yong scratched his head. In fact, the amount was quite large, and the dough he sent was a bit large, otherwise he wouldn't have to use a large steamer. He steamed four of the small steamer and then he would have full. After confirming that it had been steamed, he picked up five steamed buns with bamboo clips, put them in a plate, and took them out.
Looking at the five snow-white steamed buns, the five people suddenly had their eyes lit up. They had never seen such white food.
"Don't you bring a pair of chopsticks?" Xiahou Dun shouted at Wang Yong.
"Isn't it better to simply wash your hands and hold them with your hands? In fact, this thing can be eaten while working." Wang Yong returned to the kitchen and brought out a basin of clean water. Of course, considering her eating habits, he took out his unparalleled chopsticks.
Xun Yu didn't talk nonsense. After purging his hands simply, he wiped it clean with his handkerchief and picked up one. Almost instantly, his eyes suddenly flashed with dazzling light: "This thing is amazing!"
Then he took a bite and suddenly shone with light. While shouting, "It's amazing, it's amazing" he quickly wiped out the steamed bun. After eating one, he shamelessly extended his evil hand to the second...
But I didn't want to catch a short time. It turned out that the steamed bun was already snatched by four people in an instant and started to taste them.
