Chapter 34 Fried Chicken is Coming
While the recruits were complaining in the barracks, Bruno was busy in the castle's kitchen.
During the time that Bruno had traveled through time, his daily diet consisted of a variety of boiled vegetables served with white bread, and occasionally some dried pork strips.
But the pork strips were dry, hard and tooth-breaking.
Moreover, people in this world did not know the need for castration when raising pigs, so the pork had an unpleasant smell. Even if it had been dried, the smell was still lingering when chewing.
Therefore, Bruno often gave the castle's hard-working servants pork jerky as a reward, while he himself usually ate chicken, fish and the like.
But even for chicken and fish, there are only a few ways to cook them without an iron pan, and Bruno had long been tired of them.
Now that the iron pot has arrived and he has signed for it, Bruno naturally can't resist the urge to eat it, so he prepares to reward himself.
The ingredients were not very rich, and Bruno happened to not be able to cook many dishes, just home cooking, which was certainly incomparable with those of the chefs in the restaurants.
Holding back tears, he cut an onion, beat an egg, then asked the servants to catch a chicken, pluck its feathers and prepare it in the kitchen. Then Bruno began his cooking career for the day.
First was a simple dish of scrambled eggs with onions. Although there was no seasoning such as MSG, pepper and salt, it was still shiny and smelled delicious, which made the chefs around stare in amazement.
The next dish was fried chicken. Actually, Bruno originally wanted to make fried chicken with peppers, but it seemed that there was no such crop as peppers in the world yet, so Bruno had to change his mind and try making fried chicken.
Although in the previous life, everyone knew that fast food like Kaifengcai was a kind of food that could easily make people fat, Bruno loved it very much. Although he always felt a slight sense of guilt after eating it, he couldn't help but eat a little to satisfy his craving after a long time.
Bruno first used a knife to cut the chicken that had been cleaned by the chefs into eight pieces, then used a fork to poke some holes in it to make it easier to season, and then sprinkled some simple seasonings on it.
After the chicken nuggets are seasoned, they are coated with batter and breadcrumbs.
Although bread crumbs are dispensable sometimes, Bruno had planned to make fried chicken in advance, so he prepared a lot of bread crumbs early. After all, in this world, white bread is definitely enough, if nothing else.
The method of making breadcrumbs is very simple. You only need to prepare a small amount of white bread, then slice the white bread and place it outside the window or balcony to air dry or dry in the sun.
When white bread is dried and crushed, it becomes the simplest breadcrumbs.
Bruno first mixed some flour and starch with clean water, then stirred it into a thin batter with a spoon, and then started to heat the oil in a pan.
Coat the cut chicken pieces in several layers of batter, then dip them in homemade breadcrumbs, and then carefully throw the chicken pieces coated with batter and breadcrumbs into the frying pan. Crackling sounds will be heard immediately.
After a while, the aroma of fried chicken wafted through the kitchen.
I don’t know what the Earl is doing, but... it smells so good...
No wonder my master has no interest in pork jerky. It turns out that this is the reason...
When a plate of golden fried chicken was served on the table, the scrambled eggs with onions on the side suddenly looked a little overshadowed.
This was actually Bruno's first time making fried chicken by himself, so some of the chicken pieces were a little burnt, while others were a little lightly fried, but it was not a big deal and Bruno didn't care too much.
This was just the time I made it myself. After this, the control of the heat and the proportion of the ingredients would all be the responsibility of the chefs in the castle.
"From now on, allocate ten more gold coins to the Lord's kitchen every month so that the cooks can practice this new cooking method of stir-frying."
"Yes..." Liszt responded.
Bruno nodded with satisfaction. This was the good thing about Lister. He would not try every means to persuade him to spend less money like old Ford and the others. Apart from being a little slow in reaction and easily forgetful, he did not have any other disadvantages.
…
While Bruno was feasting in the castle, the recruits had already started their afternoon training.
The morning training program is standing at attention, while the afternoon training is long-distance cross-country running with weights.
Bruno, despite old Ford's previous opposition, had ordered Sam to move out almost all of Idar County's armor and weapons stocks, gathering a total of 300 sets of imperial standard armor for the new recruits to wear.
At the beginning, the recruits were naturally very interested. After all, clothes make the man, and when three hundred recruits were dressed uniformly, they naturally looked much better than they did at the beginning.
However, when Sam ordered the soldiers to run out of the barracks wearing heavy armor and began to run around the walls of Idar City, the recruits suddenly felt unwell...
The imperial standard armor does look cool, but it is extremely heavy to wear. Although it is light armor, it weighs about ten kilograms. If you add the sword on the waist, it will weigh more than ten kilograms.
After running only half a lap, the recruits were already out of breath.
After the recruits finished running two laps under Sam's leadership, they felt like they were half dead.
But fortunately, Bruno did not skimp on the food for the standing army. Each person had a big bowl of vegetable soup, and plenty of black bread! There was even meat! For civilians, it was normal not to have meat for ten days or half a month, but being a soldier here, you can actually eat meat! Although the portion given to each person was small, it was real meat!
The young Toren was fortunately selected to become a member of the standing army, and at this moment he was wolfing down the military meals.
Although the training was much harder than he expected, he was provided with three meals a day! And meat every day! If it were in the past, it would be unthinkable. The soldiers who came here were all poor and miserable. When had they ever received such treatment?
Although the lord said that there would be one last chance to quit after today's training, Toren had already decided in his heart that no matter how hard and tiring the training was, he would stay in the barracks.
Isn't it just tiring and hardship? Everyone here is used to hardship. But staying here to endure hardships, not only for three gold coins a year, but also with such good food, only a fool would not do it! Therefore, when the first day of training was over, not a single one of the 300 recruits flinched and quit.
I have been busy recently, so the update time is a bit chaotic, sorry
