Chapter 55 Gourmet Feast(1/2)
"It's me, don't make a sound."
Hong Qiao's voice sounded from behind. Tang Ningning flipped her hands and dodged, pulling Hong Qiao to the position where she was just standing. In an instant, she captured him.
"Don't test me like this in the future."
After saying that, Tang Ningning let go of Hong Qiao with a cold eye.
Hong Qiao shook her clothes angrily, turned around and said fiercely, "If you dare to play any dirty tricks, Sister Hong will definitely not let you go, and the Moon Worshiping Sect will hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
"Whatever." Tangning Ning wiped her hands coldly.
"you---"
Tang Ningning looked at Hong Qiao who was jumping up and down in anger and asked, "What are you looking for me for?"
"Why were you transferred to the kitchen? What kind of trick was used."
Hearing this, Tang Ningning gave her a mocking look, "I've been transferred to the kitchen, which makes it a lot easier and more convenient. Shouldn't you be happy?"
"You are so cunning, who knows what tricks you are playing."
This Hong Qiao is really bad.
Seeing Tang Ningning ignoring her, Hong Qiao sat down on the stool with an angry face, "You can find a way to transfer me to the kitchen."
Transferring Hong Qiao to the kitchen, she is not crazy, not only will she expose herself, but it may also ruin her business, absolutely not, "No."
"Why?"
"I'm just a cook, I don't have that power. Besides, if you want to go to the kitchen, you don't want to do the heavy work anymore. If Hongmei finds out that you delayed everyone's business for your own selfish gain, you will look good."
After being threatened by Tang Ningning, Hong Qiao's face became even more angry. She stood up in anger and said, "You haven't given me the defense map of the smelting site yet."
As soon as she said this, Tang Ningning took out a piece of yellow paper from her sleeve and threw it to her.
Hong Qiao opened it and took a few glances at her, then looked at her suspiciously, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"No."
After getting the affirmative answer, Hong Qiao's face became a little better. Just as he was about to leave, he looked at Tian'er again and said, "It's almost dawn. Let's take a look around tomorrow night and note down other locations."
Seeing Tang Ningning nodding, Hong Qiao left.
After Hong Qiao left, Tang Ningning lay down with her clothes on.
Working in the kitchen, she got up earlier than a chicken. At dawn, Tang Ningning was woken up. As soon as she looked at the time, she quickly put on her shoes, took a quick wash, and went to the kitchen.
As soon as we entered, everyone was already busy in full swing.
Ada saw her and came over and said, "The general doesn't like cold food, and he can't stomach the taste of ginger. Just make him some warm food and send it over."
In this hot weather, Tang Ningning didn't like to eat cold food, so Tang Ningning raised her eyebrows and said, "Uncle, does the general have any taboos?"
"Besides not liking taking medicine, I don't have any taboos." Ah Da said loudly.
Don't like taking medicine? Tang Ningning frowned, thought for a moment, and looked at Ah Dadao who was making porridge, "Is there any adenophora here?"
"Adenophora? Yes, there are plenty of them. Aba also bought them from Ma Lin. The general is sick and often drinks medicine. This medicinal material is the most abundant."
After saying that, he asked Jiya to bring several ginsengs over. Tang Ningning took one and said, "That's enough, that's enough."
"Brother Xiaoqi, what are you going to do?"
Tang Ningning put the ginseng on the chopping board and heard Jiya's words, "Make ginseng porridge."
Can the medicinal herbs be used to make porridge? Everyone has never heard of this novel way of eating it. They were all a little curious. They also thought of the deliciousness of Tang Ningning’s meal yesterday and couldn’t help but ask.
This question brought up a lot of things.
It turns out that these people are not all Mobei people. Except for Ada, who was brought back by Uri Yeshi, most of the others were captured to work, and some were massacred by the Mobei tribe.
Sure enough, they are all miserable people.
"Is this the North Adenophora ginseng?"
After hearing Tang Ningning's question, many people responded enthusiastically, but they were not sure whether it was Northern Adenophora or Southern Adenophora. They all bought it from merchants.
After hearing this, Tang Ningning ignored it, sliced it into slices, and put it into the casserole along with the japonica rice.
"Jiya, do you have any rock candy?"
Jiya immediately said, "Yes, I'll get it."
After Jiya brought the rock sugar, Tang Ningning put it into the casserole, closed the lid, and said with a smile, "It will be ready when the ginseng is cooked."
With that said, he started making dough again, kneaded it into dough and let it ferment.
"Are you making steamed buns?"
Tang Ningning nodded and took out the skin jelly. She didn't expect that in this era, there would be skin jelly. People here first remove the hair from the pig skin, cut it into small pieces, add water and simmer it until the pig skin is combined with water.
The water is integrated into a fluid state, then put into a container, and after solidification, cut into small pieces for consumption. Pork skin jelly is a food that desert people like to make at home. It does not add any seasoning, but it is enough.
"We made a lot of steamed buns. You can give some to the general to eat without any further trouble." Ada heard Jiya's words and hurriedly stopped him.
Tang Ningning shook her head and said with a smile, "It's different. These are called Xiao Long Baozi. When you take a bite, water will flow inside. You can try it later." After that, she chopped up the jelly and mixed it with the chopped pork.
Mo Li Tou.
I added some seasonings taken out from the space, and after preparing the fillings, the dough was fermented.
"What kind of steamed buns can still retain juice?" Ah Da wondered.
No one had heard of it, so they all looked forward to it.
"This skin jelly will boil for a while and it will turn into water. If you take a bite, it will burst with juice."
Tang Ningning responded with a smile.
While talking, she cut the dough into pieces, rolled it into a thin crust, and wrapped the meat filling in it.
Boil water in a pot and start steaming the buns.
After a while, a pot of charming aroma emitted from the kitchen, almost covering the smell of the entire kitchen, and someone's stomach growled with greed.
"Stop looking, go and put food on the table." Ah Da gave the order, and everyone started to get busy again.
Tang Ningning opened the lid of the pot and saw that the ginseng porridge was ready, so she served herself a bowl first.
It tasted delicious. When she drank it, it was warm and had the medicinal smell of Adenophora ginseng. It was very delicious. After finishing the porridge, the steamed buns were also steamed. She quickly opened the lid of the pot and was about to reach out when she was burned.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hiss--"
"Did you get burned?" In the kitchen, only Jiya and Gesl were left cleaning up. Seeing that Tang Ningning had been burned, they quickly ran over and asked.
Tang Ningning touched her ears with her hands, smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. Have you eaten?"
Hearing Tang Ningning ask, the two of them put down the steamed buns in their hands and looked eagerly at the pot of steamed dumplings in front of Tang Ningning. They were crystal clear, white in color and soft in texture, looking like budding autumn chrysanthemums in the mist.
"Want to eat?" Tang Ningning put all the buns on the plate and asked with a smile.
The two nodded quickly and fiercely.
Tang Ningning ate one by herself. It tasted pretty good, with a strong minced meat flavor. She pointed to the remaining steamed dumplings in the pot and said, "You guys eat it."
The two chattered as if they were thanking each other, but they didn't know what they said. Tang Ningning nodded and left with the food box.
When we arrived at the big tent again, the soldiers stopped stopping us.
After entering the big tent unobstructed, Wu Riyesi was still lying on the big chair, holding a book of war in his hand. He looked carefully and saw Tang Ningning walking in, so he put down the book of war and walked over.
"What did you do?"
Tang Ningning laid out the food and replied, "Sand ginseng porridge, steamed dumplings."
Xiao Long Bao? Wu Riyesi frowned and sat down. As soon as he opened the lid, he saw the neatly sized Xiao Long Bao placed crystal clear on the plate. They were exquisite and delicious, making people inexplicably appetizing.
He picked up one and bit it directly into his mouth. Without paying attention, the soup was filled with juice and spread in his mouth. It was oily and watery, fragrant but not greasy. It was so delicious, better than what the other chefs in the kitchen made.
Wu Riyesi looked at Tang Ningning appreciatively, "The workmanship is good."
"General, you can eat more if you like," Tang Ningning said with a smile.
What a joke, if the food doesn't taste good, she won't stay in the kitchen anymore and just go back to the quarry to work as a coolie.
The latter didn't say anything anymore. His appetite increased and he started to eat. After Tang Ningning and others finished eating, they cleared away the dishes and went out. When they returned to the kitchen, the people in the kitchen were already busy with lunch.
Some of them are responsible for the meals of the soldiers, while others are responsible for the meals of the slaves. The difference between the two is very big. For example, the lunch of the soldiers has meat and vegetables, but it would be nice if the slaves' rice has some broth.
Seeing that they were ready, Tang Ningning was about to slip out when Ada called out to her.
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"
"Go up to the latrine." Tang Ningning smiled bitterly.
Ada pointed to the back and said, "In the back."
Originally, there were no huts here, and people in the desert usually settled far away from water sources. But later, more and more businessmen came here, and many huts were built on this side of Malin.
"oh oh."
After leaving the kitchen, Tang Ningning pretended to go to the latrine and found a high ground on the road. Standing on it, she could see the view. During the day, there were not many people in the alchemy field. There were only patrolling guards outside, but she could see
There are many people coming in and out of each felt bag, carrying various large and small furnaces.
