Chapter 116: Seasonings from the Ancient Earth
"Same question, what are cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns and star anise? Curious."
Su Yue had guessed that someone would ask this, so he explained.
"Cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns and star anise are spices and can also be used as seasonings. In the ancient Earth period, people initially used them only as spices and medicinal materials, but later discovered that they could also be used as seasonings, especially when stewing meat, which could make the meat more fragrant. Since then, these four spices have become one of the commonly used seasonings."
Su Yue checked the information and found that the origin of interstellar people also came from the earth.
However, because the era is so long ago, the records of the Earth are very limited.
She also couldn't determine whether that Earth was the same Earth she had been on before.
Regardless of whether we are from the same planet or not, there is nothing wrong with what she said.
Even if there are problems, no one can find them out.
Anyway, the Empire’s records on ancient Earth are pitifully few.
"Spices from the ancient Earth?! Those things are very precious, right?"
"Precious? I don't think so. After all, didn't the onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers we eat exist since the ancient Earth? These four spices probably didn't survive. But now it's good. Princess Yueyue has published them, and in the future, the variety of seasonings in our empire will increase."
"Princess Yueyue, where can I buy these four seasonings? Will Jin's carry them on the shelves?"
"Looking to buy these four kinds of seasonings! Princess, please ask your servants to put some out for sale!"
Su Yue glanced at the comments.
“I saw some viewers asking for these four seasonings.”
"Unfortunately, due to insufficient stock at King's, we are unable to sell these spices individually at this time."
"However, Jin's is trying to find a way to grow these spices. When the stock is sufficient in the future, Jin's will consider taking out some and selling them as spices."
"Okay, let's not discuss the seasoning for now."
"Next, let me tell you about today's live broadcast schedule."
"Later, I will use the pre-made dishes produced by Jin's to show you how to cook live. There are three dishes in total, namely braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, and braised chicken nuggets."
"After each dish is made, the cooking video will be saved and put under the corresponding dish on the website for everyone's reference. At the same time, the corresponding product will be put on sale."
"Please note that not only pre-prepared meals will be on sale, but also cooked meals will be on sale at the same time."
"Today, we at Jin's prepared 2 billion portions of braised pork, 1 billion portions of sweet and sour spareribs, and spicy chicken. The inventory of cooked dishes is one tenth of the inventory of pre-prepared dishes."
"Therefore, viewers who are slow may not be able to grab the cooked food."
"But it's not a big deal. You can buy pre-prepared meals and cook them yourself by following the video. The price of pre-prepared meals is only one-third of that of cooked meals. I personally think it's more cost-effective to buy pre-prepared meals."
Su Yue glanced at the barrage again.
“As for the issue of flash sales that everyone is concerned about, when new products are put on the shelves, they will naturally be put on flash sales!”
"Three dishes, a total of six products. The number of flash sales for each product will follow the old rules, 10 million copies each."
"However, today's flash sale will not be posted on a separate flash sale link. Instead, the first 10 million viewers who add items to their shopping carts will get a 50% discount."
As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, the barrage of comments started scrolling wildly.
Many people think it takes too long and hope that Su Yue can post the product link first.
They have already tasted Jin's cooked food, and even without watching the video, they are satisfied and want to grab some now.
Some people also think that Su Yue’s arrangement is reasonable.
After all, most of the stock is pre-prepared dishes, so everyone has to see if the dish is really that easy to make before they start, right?

He lowered his head and began to unpack the braised pork pre-prepared dish.
“
Once you unpack the pre-made meal, you can start cooking.”
"The first step is to blanch it in water."
"Take out the pork belly and put it in a pot with cold water. Add cooking wine and ginger slices, bring to a boil over high heat and cook for two minutes."
"This will remove the blood and fishy smell from the pork belly."
Su Yue spoke as he operated.
Because there was some waiting time, I also took the time to read the barrage and answer two questions.
Soon the meat was almost cooked, and Su Yue took out the meat.
"After the water boils, it doesn't need to be boiled for a long time, two minutes is enough."
"After taking out the meat, wash it. Then we can proceed to the second step of stir-frying."
"You don't need to add oil when stir-frying. Just put the blanched pork belly directly into the pot. Then stir-fry over medium-low heat until the surface is oily and slightly yellow."
"Everyone, look at it like this, it's almost done. Now you can remove the pork belly from the pot."
"Next, we move on to the third step, frying the sugar color."
"We add cooking oil and rock sugar to the pot, stir-fry over low heat until the sugar dissolves and turns brown and bubbles appear, then add the stir-fried pork belly and stir-fry quickly so that the pork belly is evenly coated with the sugar color."
“Then, it’s on to step four, seasoning and stewing.”
"At this time, we add onion, ginger, cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise, and then add appropriate amounts of cooking wine, dark soy sauce, and hot water. Note: The amount of water should cover the meat. After boiling over high heat, we simmer over low heat. Taking the size of the meat in the pre-prepared dish as an example, the simmering time is about 40 minutes."
With a lot of rest time, Su Yue selected some questions about cooking in the barrage and answered them.
Forty minutes later, Su Yue checked and found that the braised pork was almost done.
Continue cooking.
"The pork belly has been stewed until it is soft and glutinous. The next step is to collect the sauce and serve."
"We just turn on high heat to reduce the sauce until the sauce is thick and the surface of the pork belly is golden brown, then it is ready to be served."
When Su Yue took the braised pork out of the pot and put it on a plate.
The tempting appearance of the braised pork made the audience drool.
"I can't stand this anymore, this... I can't help but drool. I can guarantee that the braised pork made by the princess is even better than the braised pork made by the Jin family!"
"Swallowing my saliva like crazy...I want to eat it so much..."
"Prince Yueyue's cooking skills are amazing!"
"The cooking process seems quite simple, but it takes a long time. If you have a break, you can give it a try. I've decided to buy a portion of both cooked and pre-prepared dishes later. I'll try the cooked dishes first, and I'll try the pre-prepared dishes myself when I'm free."
"Haha! I think I can do it, too!"
“I feel like I can be a chef too!”
"What are you waiting for? Princess Yueyue, please put the goods on the shelves immediately! I'm ready!"
Su Yue withdrew his gaze from the light curtain.
"The first dish is done."
"Now, I'm going to put the products on the shelves. Count down to three, everyone, be ready to buy."
