With so many people helping together, the kelp was processed quickly.
Because Runniang had never cooked kelp before, Jin Feng took the initiative himself and demonstrated how to make kelp for Runniang.
Cold shredded kelp, braised pork ribs with kelp, fried shredded pork with kelp, steamed kelp fish, braised chicken and shredded kelp...
Looking at a large table of dishes made from kelp, Run Niang's eyes were filled with tenderness.
In the feudal era, gentlemen were expected to cook far away, and few scholars were willing to go to the kitchen, but Jin Feng was an anomaly. Not only did he know so many novel ways to eat, he also didn't mind cooking at all.
Not to mention teaching Runiang new dishes, sometimes when she works overtime until midnight and gets hungry, she will go to the kitchen to get some food.
Runniang likes Jin Feng not only because of her gratitude, but also because of the pyrotechnics in Jin Feng's body.
The scholars in Dakang are more and more arrogant, and their families have more and more rules. Not to mention concubines, even their wives and children will be severely punished if they violate the family rules.
Jin Feng has now become a big shot that would shock the whole society, but he is still as easy-going as before, and he is still casual at home, and sometimes he even jokes with his servants.
In Runniang's eyes, this has a unique charm.
"Why are you staring at me?" Jin Feng found Runniang staring at him with her big watery eyes, so he stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose: "Have you learned?"
Runniang was distracted when she was startled by Jin Feng, and then her face turned red with embarrassment. She pursed her lips and glared at Jin Feng, and then replied in a low voice: "I learned it!"
Cooking kelp is not complicated. With Runniang’s cooking skills, you can do it after just one look.
While the two were chatting, Tang Xiaobei picked up a cold kelp shred with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
I tried chewing it twice, and my eyes suddenly widened.
She originally thought that kelp shreds would be as difficult to chew as water plants, but when she ate them, she discovered that the kelp shreds treated with Jinfeng were soft, soft, and full of umami flavor!
After finishing the kelp shreds on the chopsticks, Tang Xiaobei picked up another chopstick and prepared to stuff it into his mouth.
"Just give it a try, why isn't it over yet?"
Jin Feng held down Tang Xiaobei's wrist: "I invited General Zheng and Mr. Hong to dinner today!"
There are usually no rules when eating at home. Xiao'e, Achun and Bei Qianxun's sister often eat when they come back and run away after finishing.
But it would be different if Jin Feng or Ninth Princess invited guests to their home for dinner.
No matter who the guest is, you have to wait until the guest arrives before using your chopsticks.
This is the most basic respect for guests.
When Tang Xiaobei heard this, he put down his chopsticks angrily: "It's so delicious, I couldn't hold it back..."
"It's a pity that there is no chili. It would taste better if there were chili!"
Jin Feng said with some regret.
The origin of pepper is Central America, and it is not available in Dakang at present.
Sichuan, which is famous for its spicy food, now also uses things like peppercorns, dogwood, and ginger to season its food.
Although dogwood and ginger also have a spiciness, they are still different from chili peppers. Jin Feng always feels that the taste is missing.
"Chili? What is that?" Tang Xiaobei and Runniang both looked at Jin Feng.
"It's considered a condiment," Jin Feng said, "but the origin of chili peppers is the same as potatoes."
Tang Xiaobei knew about Jin Feng's plan to build an armored ship to search for the New World. Hearing this, he asked: "Then we will be able to eat it soon?"
Runniang also looked forward to it.
"Hopefully," there are too many dangers and accidents that may be encountered on the voyage, and Jin Feng cannot guarantee that he will succeed the first time.
After confirming that the dishes were almost ready, Jin Feng shouted toward the door: "Tie Hammer, go ask General Zheng and Mr. Hong to come over for dinner!"
"Okay!" Tie Chui agreed and arranged for the escort to call someone.
Runniang also arranged for the chef to put the dishes on the trays and start serving them to the restaurant.
Although Jin Feng had no airs, he didn't need to do the dishes himself. He washed his hands and walked into the restaurant.
As a result, as soon as he sat down, Zheng Chiyuan came in followed by an escort.
"General Zheng, you are fast enough!" Jin Feng joked with a smile.
The navy's camp is not close to here. Zheng Chiyuan arrived so quickly, it was obvious that he had arrived a long time ago.
Perhaps when they arrived at the restaurant, Jin Feng took the initiative to joke again. Zheng Chiyuan was not as nervous as usual and said with a smile: "Of course you have to run faster to eat."
"Sit down, let's wait for Mr. Hong!"
Jin Feng motioned for Zheng Chiyuan to sit down, and the female escort standing nearby poured two cups of tea over her with a wink.
Zheng Chiyuan quickly stood up and took it.
The two chatted for a while, and then Hong Taoping came.
Compared to Zheng Chiyuan, Hong Taoping was much more casual. He just said hello casually when he entered the door and sat down, sipping herbal tea and constantly looking at the table.
There was no cooking in Dakang before, and the food was mainly steamed, fried, and grilled. After Jin Feng came, he made iron pots for cooking. Now, cooking is almost universal around Xihewan.
After the escorts and workers came to the dock, they brought the iron pot and cooking vegetables to the dock.
Also brought over were Sichuan peppercorns and other Sichuan condiments.
Stir-frying and boiling are two completely different cooking methods, and Hong Taoping fell in love with them as soon as he tasted them.
He was busy working in the dock just now. He heard from the escort that Jin Feng had come up with a new dish and invited him to try it. Hong Taoping didn't say anything, just put down the work and came.
But he didn't recognize any of the dishes on the table.
Hong Taoping has always asked questions when he doesn't understand. This is true in shipbuilding and also in life.
Seeing that he didn't recognize the food on the table, he asked directly: "Sir, what kind of food is this? Why haven't I seen it before? Is it delicious?"
Before Jin Feng could answer, Zheng Chiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Hong, you must have seen this dish, but you just didn't recognize it."
"Have I seen it?" Hong Taoping became even more curious. He tilted his head and stared at the cold kelp shreds for a while, but unfortunately he still didn't recognize it. He scratched his head and said, "Sir, General Zheng, don't be so pretentious and tell me quickly.
, what on earth is this?"
"Hahaha, this is foot-binding grass!" Zheng Chiyuan replied with a smile.
"What is this?" Hong Taoping suspected that he heard wrongly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief: "Can this thing be eaten?"
Having grown up by the sea and working as a shipbuilder, Hong Taoping was no stranger to footweed, but in his eyes, footweed was a weed in the sea. He had not dared to think about it just now.
"Whether you can eat it or not, you'll know after you try it." Jin Feng smiled and picked up the chopsticks: "Everyone is here, how about using the chopsticks?"
If it were at home, familiar guests, such as the old village chief Guan Sanye and the others, Tang Xiaobei and Runniang would come to the table for dinner, but this was the East China Sea, and they were not very familiar with Hong Taoping and Zheng Chiyuan, so they did not come to the restaurant.
, but called Qing Mulan and Zuo Feifei, and a few women set up a table in the next room.
