Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

Speaking of biscuits, Jiang Shuyao can come up with a bunch of biscuits, such as sauce-flavored biscuits, scallion pancakes, beef biscuits, mille biscuits...

But when it comes to steamed buns, the first thing that comes to mind is Roujiamo.

Roujiamo is a special delicacy in Shaanxi, but it is so delicious that it is sold in stores across the country.

Roujiamo, as the name implies, the steamed bun contains meat.Steamed buns are white buns with crispy outer skin and fluffy and soft inside; meats include braised pork, bacon, etc., chopped into minced meat and pucked into buns, buns are fragrant and crispy, and the mouth is full of fragrance.

Jiang Shuyao didn't rush to cook Xie Xun's test dish meat dumplings. After all, cooking is enjoyable for her, but if she is in a hurry, she will lose the taste of healing.

So taking advantage of the afternoon sun, Jiang Shuyao stepped into the small kitchen and set up the pottery urn to prepare the meat with sauce.

Cured meat and braised meat are slightly different. Without ginger onion and cooking wine, you just need to simmer the pork, cloves, komone, ginger, pepper, ice cinnamon, fennel and other Chinese herbs and spices over low heat until the Chinese herbs The aroma enters into the meat, and the fat is stewed until it is soft and rotten.

The sun is warm and drowsy, and the little milk cat in the corner is dozing in the sun, smelling the aroma of bacon, woke up slowly, and walked towards the small kitchen with its tail cocked.

I don't know which little maid picked up the wild cat and ran out. Jiang Shuya threw it a piece of fat stew, and it immediately came over and devoured it and ate it clean.

There was no Xie Xun watching her cooking, but there was a kitten that sat obediently and meowing coquettishly. Jiang Shuyao turned his head several times and happened to see the kitten's natural corners of her mouth.

Hmm...it's a bit similar, so let Xie Xun raise it.

As she thought about it, she prepared Baijimo.

Bai Ji Mo is kneaded with yeast and ordinary dough. After the dough is smooth, it is made into an agent and rolled into a round cake.Heat the pan, without putting oil, put the pancakes directly into the pancakes and cover the pancakes, and wait until the two sides of the pancakes become golden brown.

When the cake is baked, the bacon will be stewed enough.

The snoozing kitten woke up and yelled "meow~". As soon as the yell fell, another clear voice sounded, "What did you do?"

Xie Xun just got off duty and changed into his normal clothes. He sniffed the scent and walked in and said, "Tomorrow, I am going to discuss matters with my eldest brother and my second brother, so I won’t have dinner here."

Jiang Shuya opened the lid of the pot and glanced at the bacon. The stewed bacon was red in the black and glowed with a bright red luster. He asked, "Are you sure?"

Xie Xun: "...If you can save the meal, please save it for me. I will heat it again when I come back."

Jiang Shuyao asked again: "Don't eat now?"

Xie Xun, who was not originally hungry, was a little greedy by her question, but still refused: "Big brother and second brother are waiting for me, can't delay."

Jiang Shuyao saw his regret and said with a smile: "It just so happens that what I made today is steamed buns. You can eat it without delay."

Xie Xun's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "That would be better."

He leaned over his back and looked into the pot: "What bun?"

After speaking, there was a meow next to him, and Xie Xun turned his head and saw a kitten craned to beg for food.

He asked casually, "Where did the cat come from?"

"I don't know, which little maid surreptitiously raised it. I think the hair is clean, it should be healthy."

Xie Xun nodded, turned his head to look at the cat licking his nose, and said naively, "The cat is greedy."

Then turned his head and continued to lean into the pot.

Jiang Shuya quickly took a piece of braised pork from the pottery urn and threw it on the chopping board. The soup was dripping.

Raising the knife for a while to chop, the soft and glutinous and rotten bacon was chopped into minced meat in two clicks, and the thick gravy was chopped out, and it was wrapped with the rotten bacon-like meat.

Lift the lid of the pot, take a knife in the middle of the Baijimo, put the meat and minced meat in the bacon, scoop a soup of salty, fragrant and fatty broth and pour it into Xie Xun's hand.

Xie Xun was holding the steamed bun, and the rich oily aroma made his tongue evoke fluid. Look at the white steamed bun, which is fluffy, fragrant and soft. I will make one."

After finishing speaking, he reluctantly added: "If there is anything left, keep it for me. I will come back to eat at night."

Knowing that he has a big appetite, Jiang Shuya gave him another one, and said as he cooked, "I use the remaining heat to heat the steamed buns. The bacon meat is also simmered over a small fire. If you don't eat enough, you will ask someone to say something. , I did it for you and let them send it over."

Xie Xun said joyfully: "Very good, very good."

Holding two meat tongs in a graceful posture, he went to look for his brothers in violation.

Thanks to this stodgy brother, even if he is hungry, he can't eat during the meeting.

People are seriously discussing matters, and it’s strange that there is a "crushing" drinker next to them.

So even if Xie Li Xie Lang was hungry, he didn't eat, at most he swallowed some cakes to cushion his stomach.The gentlemen don't like sweets, so they took out the plate after eating two.

It happened that Xie Xun came at this time, and they packed the table and prepared for the discussion.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Xie Xun's posture as tall as a pine and bamboo, but he was holding a meat folder in one hand, like a second fool.

Xie Xun saw them take away the half-empty pastry plate, and quickly stopped: "Wait, keep that plate."

After speaking, he strode forward, put the meat folder in his left hand, sat down and said, "Okay, let's start."

Xie Lang and Xie Li didn't know how to look at him.

Xie Xun's expression was flat: "Big Brother, let me talk about my opinion first, I'll listen."

Xie Li took a breath and smelled the fatty oil scent mixed with herbal flavor, and the salty fragrance was mellow.

"Ahem." He coughed. "Use it after discussing the matter."

Xie Xun replied: "It's not a problem. I don't make any noise, and it's convenient to eat. I can swallow and talk at any time."

Xie Li was helpless to his cold-faced brother, so he started talking about business.

Here Xie Xie listened very seriously, and his expression was very serious, but his actions were completely inconsistent. He held the Roujiamo, pinched the two ends, and didn't know how to stab the filled Roujiamo.

He bit from the side first, and one bite was too big, and slightly squeezed the meat tong bun, the fragrant gravy suddenly flowed out, almost flowing into his hand.

It is this way that Roujiamo is especially attractive.The meat bulged the pie, and it was filled with hot broth. Just imagine how delicious it is.

Xie Lang's voice faintly sounded: "This is what the third younger brother and sister did for the third younger brother?"

Xie Xun swallowed what was in his mouth and replied, "Exactly."

Xie Li was surprised: "How do you eat pancakes for dinner?"

"Jiang is afraid that I will be hungry tomorrow, so he wants to try to make some pancakes that can be eaten even when cold."

Xie Li said, "I don't think this is suitable."

Xie Xun nodded and said, "Exactly, but why not? Eat two yuan tonight, and I will be hungry for a day tomorrow."

Xie Li was silent.

Xie Lang retracted his gaze: "Okay, brother, let's talk about it first." He brought the topic to business.

Xie Li started to talk about money and money. Xie Xun joined them from time to time to discuss proposals. While eating meat pie, while thinking about it, he felt that the discussion had become a pleasure.

He eats deliciously, and Xie Li can smell it after half of the table, and can't bear it: "I wonder if your brother and sister do more today?"

Xie Xun heard the alarm bells in his heart immediately, and he realized how gluttonous the two of them were.

He stretched out his hand to pull the plate, and sat tightly against the edge of the table on his side: "I don't know about that. Is there anything wrong with Brother?"

Rao was greedy, and still couldn't beg for food from his younger brothers and sisters. He said, "Nothing, just curious."

Xie Lang couldn't speak either, and the two of them stared at Xie Xun at the same time.

Xie Xun couldn't bear it: "I will not eat this after I finish it."

However, Xie Lang said solemnly: "Then this is cold in your plate?"

Humph, grab food!

Xie Xun said coldly: "It's hot, it's not cold."

"Third brother." Xie Li said, "Well then, let's have dinner before discussing matters. My second brother and I are still hungry."

In this way, Xie Xun suddenly felt that he was untenable, and instead he became a petty and selfish person who was only concerned about eating and delaying business.

He had to push the plate over: "eat." Then he called the maid to come in and asked her to go to the bamboo courtyard to find Jiang Shuyao and get two more cakes.

Xie Li and Xie Lang stared at the plate of pork buns, and at the same time raised their eyes, their eyes met.

Xie Lang is quick to get it first.

The Bai Ji Mo is still warm, and the bacon meat inside is steaming. Xie Lang is greedy when he smells it. He pinches the Bai Ji Mo and bites it from it.

The fragrant gravy is squeezed out and slides down the knife edge to soak the bun skin.

The surface of Bai Ji Mo is crispy, the inside is soft and fluffy, and the gravy is fully immersed in the bun. The inner layer of the bun is moist and salty. The bun is very delicious, not to mention the braised pork inside.

The soup is rich in flavor, fully absorbing the aroma of herbs and meat, and the same is true for bacon.

The lean meat is cooked soft and tender, thin but not woody; the fat meat is crispy, blending the refreshing of Chinese herbal medicine, fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, sticky and smooth.

The aroma of meat and the aroma of aniseed blend and complement each other. How can it be called a wonderful word.

Xie Lang ate cleanly, not full, and even more greedy.

Jiang Shuyao's new Roujiamo just arrived, Xie Xun naturally divided one, and the rest was given to Xie Li.

Xie Li had long been greedy, and finally it was his turn to eat.

After a bite, I was stunned, what else to discuss? Wouldn't it be good to wait for a while and slowly taste the pancakes?

When Xie Xun and Xie Li finished eating, everyone finally started to discuss matters.

At the beginning of the Haishi, Xie Xun stood up and prepared to go, but was stopped by Xie Lang.

"The third brother, I don't know what the younger siblings will do for you tomorrow?"

"I don't know, I should do nothing. I don't think she has any ideas." Xie Xun replied casually.

"If you do--" Xie Lang hesitated.

Xie Xun finally heard something wrong, this time he was really angry.

He frowned and said, "Second brother, there is no such reason. How can my brother trouble my younger sister to eat?" He said unhappily, "Jiang family loves to cook by himself. Isn't it tiring to do it for you?"

The brothers spoke without mercy, Xie Lang said: "I don't know that my younger brothers and sisters actually did it by themselves, but I wanted to make a mistake. Please don't mind the third brother."

Xie Xun's expression was a little awkward: "I'll go back and ask her."

Xie Xun returned to Tingzhuyuan, thinking about this in his heart, fearing that Jiang Shuyao would think that her brother's request was calling her. After all, she was a noble lady, and not a cook.

He thought about it, thought he was angry, and stood unhappy in the yard for a while.

After I figured it out, I ran to the East Wing to find Jiang Shuyao, but didn't find it, so I went to the small kitchen and saw her.

Jiang Shuyao was making tomorrow's cakes. Seeing Xie Xun came, he said to him, "I'll bake a cake for you tomorrow."
