Chapter 88 Clay Pot Rice
After understanding the situation, Ji Zhisui took his men to Baiwei Restaurant, intending to let the two of them help in the kitchen.
When Grandma Zhao and the others saw the pork filling being poured into the pig's offal, they couldn't help but look surprised.
Grandma Zhao hurriedly tried to stop them, saying, "Sui Niang, what are you doing? Why are you stuffing good pork into pig offal? All that pork will be wasted. You can't do that!"
Seeing Grandma Zhao like this, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but smile, "Grandma Zhao, it tastes so good this way!"
At that time, she was also surprised when she saw Sui Niang buying these pig offal, but after trying Sui Niang's craftsmanship, she was completely convinced.
"Can this really be delicious?" The speaker was Sister You. Her family had eaten pig's offal before, and it smelled terrible.
"Of course! Don't underestimate Sui Niang." Pei Ersao was very proud. Sui Niang's skillful hands had the ability to turn decay into magic.
Pei Ersao's performance reminded Ji Zhisui of her number one true fans, who always rushed to her videos to praise her first.
Since there is no problem, Grandma Zhao and the others can do it with peace of mind.
There were three more people working today. Grandma Zhao was quick and efficient, and Sister You and the others were used to doing the work, so they quickly adapted.
The ship merchant needed the sausages urgently, so everyone was busy in the kitchen and had little rest.
Ji Zhisui planned to reward everyone well. The bone soup was already stewed, and he would stir-fry a few dishes later.
As for the staple food, when she was making these sausages, she had the idea to make clay pot rice for everyone.
The rice has been soaked for an hour before. The longer it soaks, the shorter the cooking time will be. To make clay pot rice, you need to use a casserole. Apply a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pot to prevent it from sticking to the pot and increase the crispness of the rice crust.
Drain the rice, spread it flat in the pot, and slowly pour in clean water so that the water just covers the rice to avoid washing away the oil layer at the bottom of the pot.
Cover the pot and start cooking on low heat. When the steam starts to increase from the small holes in the lid, it means that the moisture in the casserole is drying up. At this time, you need to pour a layer of oil on the edge of the pot to prevent the middle from being over-baked and burnt.
When the rice in the pot is 80% cooked, spread the sausage slices evenly on the rice so that the meaty aroma of the sausage can fully penetrate the rice.
After a few minutes, add green leaves and eggs, cover the pot and simmer for a while before serving. The eggs will be soft at this point.
After taking it out of the pot, pour in the prepared sauce and the clay pot rice is ready.
Sister You and Erhua stared at Ji Zhisui's actions intently and didn't know how many times they swallowed their saliva. They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had filled their stomachs.
The taste of the pig offal mixed with meat filling is so delicious. They never knew that pig offal could have such a delicious taste.
After Ji Zhisui finished cooking the clay pot rice, Sister You and Erhua quickly turned their eyes away.
This is the food that the master eats, it has nothing to do with them, and it is not something that slaves like them should covet.
I just hope that Miss Ji can give them more food, even if it's just brown rice, as long as it can fill their stomachs.
Ji Zhisui looked at the two people standing in the distance and waved at them, "Sister You, Erhua, go wash your hands and come eat."
The two looked at each other in disbelief, even suspecting there was something wrong with their ears. What did Miss Ji say? She wanted them to come over for dinner?
This...how is this possible!
The two of them stood there awkwardly, without moving. They were just bought slaves.
Ji Zhisui looked at the two people who didn't know what to do with their hands and feet, and guessed the reason.
Slaves in this dynasty had no human rights and were equivalent to dogs raised by their masters. Not to mention being able to sit at the table for meals, it was already very good for them to be able to have a full meal.
But Ji Zhisui's thoughts did not live in this era, and it was difficult for her to accept the slavery of the dynasty. She bought these two people just to use them as helpers in the restaurant.
She walked over, holding one of them in each hand, and pulled them to the table: "You two should sit down and eat now. We still have a lot of things to do this afternoon!"
The Pei family had no opinion on Ji Zhisui's behavior. Sui Niang was the housekeeper now, and besides, they had no right to ask any questions about the people Sui Niang had bought with her own money.
Although Sister You and Erhua sat at the dinner table, they did not dare to overstep the line. They just held the bowls and chopsticks in front of them and started eating. The fragrant rice mixed with the salty and delicious sausages made people feel delicious from head to toe.
Grandma Zhao knew that Sui Niang was a good cook. She always sent them whatever fresh food she made before, but this was the first time she had eaten Sui Niang's meal properly, especially the crispy and fragrant rice, which fully exuded its own fragrance. No wonder she was able to open a restaurant on North Street.
With her cooking skills, I'm afraid even the chefs in the noble master's house don't have such skills.
During the meal, the ship merchants arrived. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they began to call out, "Boss, we want to order some food."
They had collected some goods in Qizhou County and had been busy until now. They missed the meal time and did not choose a nearby restaurant. Instead, they hurried to Baiwei Restaurant on an empty stomach, waiting to taste Miss Ji's cooking.
Pei Yian saw someone outside and stood up to go out to greet them.
Ma Mazi stood at the entrance of the kitchen, the delicious aroma of burnt food wafting into his nose, making his stomach growl.
He asked curiously, "Boss, what are you eating here? Can you give me one too?"
Pei Yian's gaze fell on Ji Zhisui with a questioning look.
When he heard that someone was interested in clay pot rice, Ji Zhisui didn't even bother to eat. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out.
At first glance, I found that these were all acquaintances, the shipping merchants who had ordered sausages from me.
"My dear, what new food have you made?" Just by the aroma, he could imagine how delicious it was.
"It's clay pot rice, made with Chinese sausage."
"Claypot rice, what is this?"
"The sausages are ready? Can we have some too?"
"Yes, my dear, we have been craving sausages for a long time!"
The eyes of several people were expectant and burning. Ji Zhisui couldn't refuse and nodded.
Fortunately, she had made a lot of clay pot rice before, and she brought out the rest. Everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at the clay pot rice.
The pieces on top should be sausages. Ma Mazi was the first to reach out with his chopsticks, pick up the sausages and put them into his mouth.
Savory and delicious, it’s really good!
It turned out to be a sausage that could be sold for one or two taels of silver. It was much more delicious than bacon. It would be a blessing to be able to eat such a delicacy while drifting on the sea.
