Chapter 125 The ham sausage is finally grilled
After eating and drinking, Zhao Lan led Su Ruojin downstairs slowly.
The entire Fengle Building was clearly bustling with singing and dancing, but on the way downstairs, apart from the occasional waiter or two serving dishes, there was no one else.
Su Ruojin had no idea whether it was a special passage for Young Prince Zhao or the restaurant had cleared the place specially for him. Anyway, she felt like she was living a luxurious life in a quiet environment.
It turns out that you need to be rich!
Shu Tong and Mao Ya were already waiting by the carriage at the door. Su Ruojin took the opportunity when Mao Ya was helping her get into the carriage to ask in a low voice, "Have you eaten?" The two of them did not follow her up to the fifth floor.
Mao Ya nodded, "We ate on the second floor." After saying this, she looked around quietly and muttered quickly, "It's not as delicious as what Second Lady cooks."
Su Ruojin: ...
How to say it? In the era when cooking, grilling, pickling and cold salad were the main methods, although stir-frying, frying and stewing were also available, the cooking methods were relatively simple compared with later generations. Take the sashimi mentioned earlier for example. Although it is also very popular in the south in later generations, people still cannot accept it. There is an idiom called "脍熱口口", in which 脍 means to cut the meat of any fish into small pieces and eat it raw. Modern people may think that raw meat slices are fishy and not delicious at all, but the ancients did not think so. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Dayin Dynasty, people have always liked to eat 脍.
After eating and drinking, Su Ruojin got on the swaying carriage and dozed off all the way until the carriage stopped and Mao Ya patted her gently. She came to her senses, got off the carriage, and arrived at a quiet mansion.
Pushing open the door and passing through the small patio, you will see rows of desks in the large open space. On each table is either a meat grinder or a sausage stuffer, creating a busy scene.
Zhao Lan turned his head and looked at the young lady standing at the door. "Where do we start?"
The workshop was quite large. Su Ruojin felt that her business of roasting ham sausages had a bright future. She smiled happily and said, "Let's start by selecting the meat."
A middle-aged man in charge got Shuangrui's hint and quickly stepped forward to lead people to the meat-cutting area. As they walked, Su Ruojin asked, "What crops are used to make the starch here?
In front of the royal family, the steward did not dare to speak casually.
Shuang Rui urged: "Just say it if Madam Su Er asks you to."
"Yes, yes!" The steward beside the noble was impatient, and the middle-aged man was frightened and hurriedly replied carefully, "Reply to Miss Su, there are wheat, red beans, mung beans, etc."
Su Ruojin nodded. There was no other way. There were no potatoes, sweet potatoes or corn at the moment. She could only use these for now.
Su Ruojin cuts the meat, mixes the ingredients, and grinds it into fine meat paste in a meat grinder. After cooking, she puts it in a closed high-temperature steamer for sterilization, cools it on a drying rack, and finally stores it in the ice cellar.
In this process, no matter how high the high temperature of steam extraction is, it cannot be compared with the sterilization in high temperature boxes of later generations, so she shortened the shelf life, "It should not be taken out of the ice cellar for more than ten days in summer and less than one month in winter."
No matter what Su Ruojin said, the manager just nodded.
Only someone like the young prince could get an ice cellar similar to a cold storage. This was why Su Ruojin did not think of the small sausage as something simple. Compared with the sausage, the sausage did not require the cooking and sterilization processes. It only needed to be stuffed and placed on the shelf to air-dry. The air-dried ingredients could be stored for a long time.
Zhao Lan stayed by Su Ruojin's side for the entire afternoon, silently watching her instruct the servants and explain the details that needed to be paid attention to everywhere.
Su Ruojin chased him away, but she insisted on standing by, as if she wouldn't be serious if she didn't stand by to supervise. Okay, this is your territory, you can do whatever you want, and she should do whatever she should do.
When I came out of the workshop, it was already dark.
Shuangrui asked someone to give all the sausages made in the afternoon to Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin: ...It seems like there are several thousand of them.
"free?"
The young lady's eyes sparkled and she looked like a money-grubber. Zhao Lan pursed his lips and said, "Hmm!"
"Wow!" Su Ruojin was so happy that she almost jumped up. "Thank you, young prince. I have to go back to Su's shop now to get new products immediately." She was really impatient.
Shuangrui was just about to say that dinner was arranged when the host gave a look and immediately asked Santai to prepare the car.
On the way back, Su Ruojin's heart felt like it was about to fly. She wished she could reach Su's in one step and couldn't stop laughing all the way.
Of course, only Su Ruojin herself thought she was laughing secretly. In fact, in the carriage, Zhao Lan, Shuangrui and Mao Ya, all three of them were looking at her and laughing all the way.
Does this so-called ham sausage really make the Second Lady so happy?
Su Ruojin, who was smiling foolishly, seemed to have finally remembered something. She reached out and took the ham sausage prepared separately in the snack box, opened her mouth and took a bite. Wow, this is a pure natural ham sausage without any additives. It is so delicious.
He was so happy that he stuffed his mouth with sausage and did not forget to remind Zhao Lan: "Little Prince, take it and eat it!" This is the king of snacks!
Zhao Lan really listened to her. He reached out and took one and started eating it like her.
Su Ruojin was eating so happily that she let Shuangrui and Mao Ya eat too.
The two of them looked at Zhao Lan cautiously. In Mao Ya's eyes, the young prince didn't show any expression, but Shuang Rui understood his young master. He reached out and took one and handed it to Mao Ya first, and then he took one for himself.
The ham sausage with added starch is combined with fat and lean pork, and topped with various seasonings and spices. It is chewy and bouncy when you bite it in your mouth. It is so delicious that Shuangrui almost ate so much that his eyebrows almost flew off.
"It's still better when the young lady has taught me." Although the workshop made it according to the young lady's recipe, it didn't taste as good as when the young lady had personally taught it. No wonder the young prince had insisted on bringing the young lady to the workshop. It was indeed different.
The carriage soon arrived at Su's house. Su Ruojin was so excited that she was about to jump off the carriage, but she was so cautious that she almost fell. Mao Ya was about to pull it back, but Zhao Lan was quick and grabbed her.
"Don't be in a hurry." He frowned and jumped out of the carriage first.
Su Ruojin was frightened by the young man's serious face and stopped in the carriage, not daring to move.
Zhao Lan stood in front of the car door and stretched out his hand, "Come here."
Well……
Su Ruojin opened her arms and moved towards him in a daze.
The young man stretched out his long arms, grabbed the young lady's armpits, and carried her down.
Until she stood on the ground, Su Ruojin was still a little dazed. When did the young Prince Zhao become so brotherly?
When Mrs. Dong saw the young lady coming, she hurried out to greet her, "Second Madam..."
Su Ruojin instantly came back to her senses and walked around to the barbecue stall with a smile, "Brother Dashi, Aunt Gui, do you have bamboo sticks?"
"Yes." Xianggui quickly grabbed a handful of bamboo sticks and handed them over.
Su Ruojin let Mao Ya catch it, and she stood in front of Xiang Gui's barbecue grill, "Tomorrow I'll have someone build a barbecue grill specifically for grilling ham sausages. Let's just make do with this today."
Shu Tong brought over two large baskets of sausages, and Su Ruojin and Xianggui and the others quickly started roasting them.
A few minutes later, Su Ruojin handed the first baked one to Zhao Lan, who had not yet left, and said, "Young Master, would you like to try it?"
Dear ones, there is still one chapter to come out in the evening!!!
