Having fun in hardship is also an essential skill for survival in the doomsday.
From the end of the world to the present, it has been less than a year.
A year ago, these people were still living a peaceful life, enjoying all the conveniences brought about by modern society.
And now, they can only be trapped in this underground facility. Although it is much better than other survivors' lives, it is still far inferior to the previous life.
At the very least, there is no rich entertainment life here, no freedom to enjoy the sunshine at will. Now the whole world is a huge cage, and they just opened up a small world in the cage.
To say happiness, compared with other survivors, they are happy, but if you want to compare the past, they are unfortunate.
The next generation or the next generation of new humans may be accustomed to this kind of life, and even feel that this kind of life is very good and happy, but it is difficult for their generation to feel this way.
Dinner is a barbecue meeting with hot pot.
The method of making hot pot is not difficult, at least not difficult for the chef-level An Kai.
The seasoning may not be complete, but I can barely make a hot pot base. The oil is mutton, which is not very different from butter... Well, let's just think so.
The traditional method does not add animal oil, but the frying method obtained by Ankai through the system is obviously improved. Although vegetable oil has a refreshing taste, it is not fragrant. Chicken fat and lard can make up for this. The former can enhance the color and soften the taste, while the latter can make the oil more smooth. But now only mutton...it can play a little role, and they have lard, so it’s actually not bad. You must know that fish and sheep are fresh, and how much mutton oil is used to improve freshness.
The second step is to make chili.
The chili peppers are taken out when the water is ready, dried and steamed for half an hour and minced. The hot pot oil will be bright red in color and will not catch fire after eating.
It's a pity that they don't have chili now. An Kai has found a lot of seasonings, and even planted some seasonings in the planting area, but they just didn't find chili.
I don’t know if it’s his bad luck, or the people in this world don’t like peppers.
Other spices also need to be crushed to fully incorporate the flavor into the oil. The shape of the broken pieces can be divided into two coarse and fine powders. The two coarse spices are fried with oil, and the fine powder is braised to force out the fragrance.
When frying the hot pot oil, it needs to add oil twice to cool down. The temperature during frying cannot be higher than 100 degrees Celsius, otherwise the bottom material will become mushy and bitter. This problem can be avoided by adding twice. The refueling time is the first time that the oil is poured in the pot for the first time after 10 minutes. When the oil temperature is close to 100 degrees Celsius after frying for a period of time, add the same amount of oil. As the oil temperature rises, the bottom material is in the oil. The red and scent can penetrate even more when it is soaked in the middle.
Put the rock sugar at the end. The rock sugar can adjust the soup taste, neutralize the spiciness, and brighten the oil. Therefore, choose to put it in the pot at the end to avoid heat and bitterness after being heated for too long. Well, there is no rock sugar either. You can only use white sugar. Although it must be a bit short, they can't have such high demands now.
Close to the existing seasoning, Ankai barely made a pot of mutton sauce. The pot is not a special hot pot pot, but the most common stainless steel pot, which is large enough to be used directly on the induction cooker.
Add boiling water to the mutton oil base, then add **** slices, green onions, peppers, mushrooms and other auxiliary materials to cook a big pot of beautiful hot pot soup.
"...The mutton is made of selected little fat lambs. The mutton is fat and lean. The meat is tender and juicy. After a simple freezing, it is cut into one-millimeter-thick meat slices with a sharp knife. The meat slices are slightly rolled and arranged into neat and beautiful flower trays. The pink ones. The lamb is tumbling in the pot of soup, the hot oil and seasoning are soaked in it, and every bite has a rich mutton flavor..."
An Kai cleared his throat and said in a self-confessed magnetic voice.
Joanna and Emma were shooting with a DV camera nearby, and the two of them trembled with laughter.
What they are shooting now is a documentary called "The Shelter on the Bite of the Tongue".
He deliberately used a special magnetic voice to explain, a serious look that was especially funny, not only Joe Aina and Emma, but the other three little guys were also quietly laughing beside them while smelling the scent of the oil pan.
The main content of Shabu-shabu is mutton. Anyway, there are more than 100 catties of mutton. Picking out 20 or 30 catties of mutton is not a problem.
Pork can also be used for shabu-shabu. For example, tenderloin and pork belly are suitable for shabu-shabu.
Of course, a more appropriate way is actually barbecue.
Ankai made Korean-style barbecue this time. It was a charcoal stove with a roasting pan on top. Put the meat and vegetables on the grill. Add onions, leeks, garlic and other ingredients. After roasting, stir well. It also has a unique flavor.
What is the authentic Korean barbecue? To be honest, An Kai has never eaten it. The recipes provided by his chef skills are mainly based on the dishes he has eaten. What he has not eaten at all is not good. , I can only try again and again by myself. He doesn’t have this skill now, and the time is too late, so don’t think about things like spicy cabbage and sweet chili sauce. There is only a little bit of cumin. He is reluctant to let go, and is waiting for the planting to continue to expand the planting volume. Woolen cloth. There was no planting before, just because the planting room space is limited, cumin is not a common seasoning, so if you can avoid it, you can avoid it.
The seasoning is not enough. In fact, eating barbecue is very troublesome, because it may not suppress the fishy smell of the meat.
Of course, there are also ways to deal with it. First of all, the blood in the meat should be cleaned. Second, the quality of the meat should be better, and it is best to select the parts with less fishy smell.
It is not a problem to deal with blood water. You don't need Ankai to do it yourself. The equipment in the slaughterhouse can directly drain all the blood to ensure that there will be no residues in the meat.
The quality of the meat is also completely fine. Although it is basically impossible to raise abnormal meat like wagyu, in the ordinary category, the animals raised in the farm are definitely the best. After all, in reality, farming still faces various objective problems. Basically, there are no farms with these problems. The meat raised is naturally top-grade.
After more than an hour of intensive preparation, a lot of DV shots, Ankai finally got everything ready.
Set up the DV Everyone sat around the table, Ankai was a little extravagant, and took out some drinks. Everyone filled themselves with alcohol, adults, minors and drinks.
With a "cheers", everyone immediately started rushing for food.
Hot pot is also available in this world, but it is more Western-style hot pot, such as Chinese hot pot, which is not available in this city anyway. So when such a big pot of hot pot filled with red oil is in front of everyone, everyone wants to taste it. As a result, um, how should I say, the taste is good, but everyone's evaluation is not as good as the previous killing pig dishes.
As expected, the problems of taste and eating habits are still very difficult to solve, but although the evaluation is not as high as that of pig-killing dishes, it does not mean that everyone will not eat it.
In fact, most of the lamb slices that were cut out ended up in the hot pot. After all, they are very fresh things. You have not seen it before, and you are still very curious and are willing to try more.
Yakiniku is very popular with everyone. Although the seasoning is not complete, the taste is not too bad.
When everyone was eating so hard, An Kai also leaned back on the chair to rest.
He felt that the number of similar dinner parties had been a little bit more recently, but thinking about it carefully, isn't this a sign that the shelter is gradually getting on track? This is a good thing. Under the apocalyptic environment, everyone can still live like this. What is it that is not a good thing? Is it really right to have a pause like other survivors?
No, An Kai does not accept it.
He thinks that he should let everyone eat well, let himself eat well, and let the shelters live as good as possible, that is what he should do.
Of course, the most important thing is that I have to live a good life. If I have a system and I have a hard time, then he is too bad.
