Chapter 408 Who is not interested
Zhu Xin discovered that the chef's professional skills "kitchen control" have an inappropriate approach.
This skill can speed up cooking and increase the speed of noodles.
Using this method, use the ham that takes several days and add salt several times, and then cooked after several months...
No matter how you think about it, it can't be shortened to one day, right? Otherwise, why do you need to do a test first?
The most important thing is to say that ham is not so marinated but rather a process of maturation.
Compared with mature meat, there is probably a process of salt marinating, and it takes a longer time to mature.
Having said that, it’s really not OK to marinate for so long.
"Just take salt, it won't work for a day..." Zhu Xin spent half an hour resting in the kitchen.
The process of adding salt, simply put, is the process of pickling, which takes one month.
If the calculation is accelerated, it is impossible to condense a month's work to one day.
"Maybe a red-level professional skill is OK?" Cai Yan watched the whole process. Isn't it just ham? Could it be that if you change to some salt, the ham will be more fragrant?
"Good idea!" Zhu Xin also remembered this. After all, his kitchen controls this skill and his level is not very high.
If the skill level is up, the acceleration efficiency can also be improved. If you don’t seek real solutions in one day, it’s better to concentrate thirty days into ten days.
If there is so much time, you can even try making a pig hindrance.
After all, ham is basically made of pigs. Sheep and cattle can be made, but Zhu Xin himself has never eaten this kind of ham.
I originally thought that the attack on Shouchun would only start in August, but they came back in June.
This means that in one or two months, at least there is no more worrying about war. However, relatively speaking, Sun Ce will be much more busy. In the climate of Jiangdong, rice ripens faster than that of the Central Plains, and it will mature around June and July.
After harvesting, you can still plant a round of beans. In fact, alfalfa is not only good. This thing can not only be used as cattle and horse feed and green storage feed. When people are hungry, they can also be eaten with water and boiled. It is sweet and sour. Alfalfa roots are edible and are also medicinal materials.
At the same time, alfalfa can also be used to fertilize the land, not only beans. In the rotation system, alfalfa is also used as a rotation crop.
How to arrange it, let it be left to professionals. Anyway, Zhu Xin is not that familiar with agriculture.
"Why have you been doing this in the past few days?" Sun Ce couldn't help but complain. This was the fifth day after. In the past few days, Zhu Xin has basically been making ham.
This thing is not very expensive. Even if you buy a whole fan directly, it won’t cost much. Why do you have to make it yourself?
I still use the fine salt I finally made, and I feel like it’s a waste to think about it.
"Aren't this all done in the yard?" Zhu Xin replied. High skill level is also beneficial. It only took five days for a month to apply salt.
The marinated ham is washed, and then it needs to be further rested before it can be cooked. The saying of maturation should be imported, but the mature meat advocated by foreign countries was actually available in the Song Dynasty and China, which is Jinhua ham.
Fresh beef takes one month to cook. It’s okay to cook wet, but dry ripening is similar to making ham. Without the step of adding salt, the ripening time is shorter than forty days.
Zhu Xin has eaten it, and the main thing is that it has no tendons, and the gravy is full and the taste is soft and tender. If it is ripe with dry method, it will also have a nutty fragrance, and the overall taste of the ripe meat is relatively rich.
The fermentation of ham seems to take longer, six to eight months.
If you haven't cured it, you probably won't be able to support that long fermentation time and eventually it will break down.
There are also hams in foreign countries, such as the most famous Iberian ham. However, that is just the craft brought back by Marco Polo in China.
After all, he was from the Yuan Dynasty, and Jinhua Ham was born in the early Southern Song Dynasty, and the time was right.
"Is it necessary?" Sun Ce asked, "Even if you use fine salt, the taste may not be much better..."
"Indeed, there is a lack of a suitable environment. But as long as that environment is simulated, high-quality ham can be made anywhere." Zhu Xin replied. Compared to relying solely on the natural environment, we can make ham.
It is better to restore and even find the best fermentation environment to make ham more efficient.
In other words, as long as you control the climate in Jinhua, you also have the production process of Jinhua ham.
Strictly speaking, Jinhua ham can be made all over the world, but this is just a matter of the cost.
"I feel like it's like salt in the end..." Zulang looked at him with interest, "Maybe he can sell it at a high price, but not many people can pay for it."
"Of course, this must take the high-end route. Not to mention costs, if you don't make more than twice the cost, you will lose money!" Zhu Xin replied immediately. After all, even if you use skills, it will probably take one or two months to ferment.
Fortunately, during this period, you can use refined salt to recover your blood first. No, if you think about it carefully, the salt is basically picked up for free.
Even if you don’t have military achievements, don’t you work hard? For your own wife, you have to work hard to help!
"What should I do?" Zulang looked at Sun Ce.
"Who is not interested, right?" Sun Ce shrugged. This was learned from Zhu Xin. It was rude to do this, but I personally feel that it is not bad. "Besides, if the ham is ready, maybe we will be the first to taste it."
"But the lamb leg had failed before?" Zulang was a little worried.
"He has never made ham before. Speaking of ham craftsmanship, it seems to be confidential, right?" Sun Ce thought.
"Indeed, the Wujun Gu family is currently the monopoly of the production method. In other words, except for the Wujun Gu family, no one knows how to make this ham. Even if it is made occasionally, the taste and taste are not as good as that." Zulang nodded.
"That's good too!" Cai Yan said, "It's just right to reach a cooperation with Gu through this. After the interests are in conflict, the relationship between the two parties will be closer."
"Will Gu Yong promote him?" Sun Ce thought to himself. Gu Yong is nearly thirty years old this year, and his political experience has accumulated to a certain level. It is no problem to be a prefect directly.
The question is, why can she be appointed? There are already people who have chosen the prefects of each county.
The prefect of Lujiang Li Shu, the prefect of Jiujiang Yu Fan, and even the county magistrate and the commander of the capital had arrangements.
The rest are nothing more than Luling County and Fujian County, which are just appointed as prefects, which is somewhat exiled.
"How about being appointed as the prefect of Fujian County?" Zhu Xin replied casually, "With her talent, she will definitely make great achievements in Fujian County. After the establishment of Fujian County, she has accumulated enough political capital and was transferred directly to the prefecture for office."
"If this is the case, it's not impossible..." Sun Ce thought about it and thought it was OK, "Is the ham ready?"
"It's all done, and the next one is the highlight!" Zhu Xin looked at the more than ten hams in front of him and sighed.
