Chapter 512

"If you don't have wine, you can use sour fruit instead. If possible, you can add salt, vinegar and pepper to make it taste better. Here you must have a variety of scallion, ginger and garlic, which are essential for removing fishy smell and expelling cold. "

"Every kind of fish has a different way of doing it. If you have a chance, you can ask the local cook for advice."

While marinating the seafood, Xu Qing cut some vegetables again. Seeing her skilled and neat knife work, the cooks showed their admiration.

Heat the oil in the pan, fry the fish until golden on both sides, then add the boiled clams, stir fry in the pan, add water to stew, add salt, scallion, ginger and wine, bring the water to a boil, and then add the side dishes.

In another pot, Xu Qing is going to make a spicy version. This time, he has to fry the green onion, ginger, pepper and Huling, the bean paste they brought from the capital, add water before adding seafood and side dishes.

Attractive fragrance floating out, nearby people can't help but frequently cast eyes, quietly swallow saliva.

It's full of two pots, enough for hundreds of people.

The last pot Xu Qing used to cook porridge, she said: "do not put this kind of vegetables in the pot stew, not delicious, cabbage, radish, carrots can be stewed, green vegetables, put in porridge is more delicious. Cut the green vegetables into small sections, and then put them in after the porridge is cooked. Add salt and continue to cook for a while. You can't cook for too long, just cook it. "

"If you think the vegetables taste sour, blanch the water in advance, add two drops of oil, and the blanching time is It's about counting 60 to 100 times in your heart. Adding two drops of oil can keep the vegetables green

Seafood is easier to cook, so it doesn't need to stew for long.

When I opened the lid of the pot, I saw the Milky soup in the pot. There was no foam in it. The cooks were shocked.

The color of the soup they stewed is much worse than this, which should be the reason why they didn't handle it well in the early stage.

Bursts of fragrance wafted out, we can't wait to taste.

Xu Qing: "it should have been stewed. Have you tried it thoroughly?"

Cooks smell speech quickly picked up the bowl chopsticks, have scooped a spoonful of taste.

It's so fresh! This is everyone's first feeling.

Although you can still taste a fishy smell from the seafood, it's much better than what they make. This fishy smell can be ignored!

They smell the fragrance and come here. They scoop a bowl of chopsticks in the pot.

Hu Yi sighed: "if I can eat this delicious food every day, I can live here for another ten years!"

Hu Ling: "this spicy seafood soup is delicious! It must be the Douban sauce I brought in

Several other generals also brazenly came to rub a bowl, and immediately saw that Xu Qing and the ten cooks had different eyes. They all rushed to teach their camp to cook first.

In the afternoon, Xu Qing taught the cooks how to marinate pickles, make pickles and pickles, and preserve the vegetables that they could not eat.

Pickles and sauerkraut stewed seafood is also quite delicious.

Towards evening, Xu Qing and Li Changting left with a lot of seafood from Hu Ling.

They took part in the purchase of poultry, but they didn't stay in the barracks. It's really inconvenient for Xu Qing as a woman to stay in the barracks.

They rode to the wharf of Shangshui town and came to the merchant ship they went to today.

In the cabin, Xu Qing bought a large number of silk, which was sent by the old owner to transport. Xu Qing has no way to return to Hezhou for the time being. She plans to transport the silk back to Yu poming, who will deal with it.

The merchant ship will leave early tomorrow morning.

After checking the goods, Xu Qing and Li Changting stay in a nearby Inn, and then quietly return to the cave at night.

"Haven't you had dinner yet?" Xu Qing asked Duanmu ring and hammer.

"Two cakes." The hammer returned.

"I brought the food back. It's all seafood. Have some." At the inn, Xu Qing went into the space to prepare the dinner. After eating with Li Changting, she came back with two big pots of seafood, which were still hot.

"Good!" Hammer was so excited that he almost jumped up. Thinking of Xu Qing's words when he left in the morning, he quickly said, "I took a bath today. I washed it very clean. My clothes were all new and my bedding was taken apart and washed again."

Xu Qing said that if he didn't clean himself up, he would be as sloppy as ever. After that, his food would only be white porridge and green vegetables, and he wouldn't even give him an extra grain of salt!

But if he takes a bath every day and appears clean in front of her, there will be meat to eat every day!

Hammer live nearly 30 years, never so clean and tidy, even hair are floating light soap horn fragrance.

He felt that when he came home, no one would know him.

After dinner, the hammer went to sleep on the temporary wooden bed in the corner of the stone room. He had been sleeping here all this time.

A moment later, Xu Qing, Li Changting and Duanmu ring went in to have a look.

"How long will your medicine keep him sleeping?" Asked Xu Qing.

"I can't wake up from thunder till tomorrow morning." Duanmu rang back.Xu nodded and pulled up the curtain beside him to completely block the sight of the wooden bed.

Out of the stone room, three people into the space.

Now that the hammer has been called in, and the hammer has been well done at this time, Xu Qing and Li Changting have plans to recast the remaining gold and silver.

During this time, Li Changting has learned a lot from hammers, and has been able to cast gold spindles by himself. Next, Li Changting plans to learn how to cast silver spindles. When he learns, he can let hammers go back.

So they picked out the silver and silverware from the field and put them in the basket.

After picking out the silver, the three went to clean up the gold and silver jewelry. The most troublesome thing was that they had to pick out the jades and gems.

Xu Qing first picked out those exquisite and beautiful jewelry, which can be sold directly, and the value will be several times higher.

Those with poor workmanship or even damage will be removed.

Although some of them are inlaid with gems and jades, most of them lose luster, become dry and even crack under the high temperature environment of volcano.

Gems, pearls and jades are afraid of dry environment. If they lose moisture, they will lose luster.

Only the gold, silver and jewels kept in the box are good. I don't know how many years they have lost their original value. They can only be removed and disposed of at a low price.

The gold and silver inlaid with gems and pearls are put away separately and re cast into gold and silver spindles.

When the hammer woke up the next morning and saw that the corner nearby was full of silver, he thought he was dazed.

"Your Highness, did you get the silver?" The hammer ran out and asked.

"Well." When Li Changting is not there, Xu Qing, who is cooking breakfast by the earthen stove, answers.
