Chapter 289 Boneless Chicken Fillet (8)
Not long after lunch, there were almost no people buying vegetables in the afternoon market. Because there were no people, the vendors on the roadside and in the shop set up a cloth tent to doze inside.
This is what Lin Fei and others saw when they walked to the market.
Although the management of Darongfang City and the bazaar still has some regulations, it is a bazaar, even after it has been cleaned, the air in the bazaar is still filled with the smell of vegetables, meat, and slaughtered poultry and livestock.
That smell made Liu Yuan, who is used to dealing with pens, inks, papers and inkstones, quite uncomfortable. Most of his impressions of people's eating and drinking are in the public kitchen, especially since Master Wen came to the public kitchen, there is only the smell of food hooks. , when did you smell this kind of fishy smell in the public kitchen?
It is the market, and it is not that I have not been there before, but Liu Yuan did not expect the fishy smell to become so heavy.
"Is it because of the excessive slaughter of poultry and livestock at the end of the year?" Bai Zhu said and rubbed his nose, "It seems that the fairs in the past did not have such a strong smell."
Lin Fei, who was always sensitive to smells, also frowned, but didn't speak. Instead, he looked up at the dozing vendor, and then looked at the slaughter stall.
At this time, there were signboards on the front of the several slaughtering stalls that said “rest and avoid disturbance”, and the butchers slaughtering poultry and livestock were resting in their respective tents.
Lin Fei raised his hand and rubbed his nose, then took a deep breath.
Looking at this move, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who were holding their noses, were about to say a few words of admiration. After all, Lin Shaoqing's sensitive nose is different from ordinary people. This breath must be unusual.
Lin Fei, who took a deep breath, stood there for a moment, then immediately lifted his feet and walked towards the slaughter stall not far away.
The slaughter stall was also cleaned up. After all, the Law of Great Glory is there, so if you don’t want to clean it up, you need to clean it up. But that **** smell couldn't be cleaned up no matter what.
Although the movement of several people walking towards this side was not loud, it woke up a bald butcher in the middle of the slaughtering stall. Hearing the sound, the butcher got up from the branched stall, and subconsciously laid out the floor on the stall. One of the various knives in a row was seen by several people.
The bald Mrs. Tu was already glaring and had a fierce look on her face. Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who were looking at him with a knife in their hands, were also taken aback. They subconsciously stopped and looked up at him.
Looking at each other like this for a moment, the bald butcher's eyes paused for a moment on the two of them, and it wasn't until they reacted belatedly that he realized that he was looking at the official robes on the two of them. After a moment of stalemate, the bald butcher put the knife back into the distance, glanced at the two of them, but his eyes turned to Lin Fei who had walked to a slop bucket, thought for a while, and said: " The slop bucket and other filthy things must not pollute the eyes of adults, and the smell of waste and foul-smelling things in it will damage the body, so adults should not come near it!"
With a hoarse and rough voice, coupled with that ferocious appearance and the row of knives in front of him, Liu Yuan privately thought that just looking at the appearance, this man really resembled the portrayal of the villain in the script.
Lin Fei gave a "hmm" and looked up at the bald butcher, but he was not at all afraid of his vicious skin, but nodded, glanced at the slop bucket, and asked the bald butcher: "What is the filth in it?" New here today?"
The bald butcher nodded, took a knife casually, and sharpened the blade while saying: "As the year approaches, there are more people slaughtering poultry and livestock, and it can be filled in less than half a day, so we have to replace it with new ones every day. "
"It can be regarded as sharing!" said the bald butcher while sharpening his knife. "There was a misunderstanding about the slaughter before, and I suspected that the butcher had changed the slaughtered poultry or something. Maybe you don't know it. There are so many things! It may be unclear when the time comes to check. Generally speaking, which bucket is thrown into the waste of the first business order in the morning, and that bucket will be used until the bucket is changed."
When Lin Fei heard this, he said "um", and looked at the bald butcher with a calm face, but his eyes were extremely clear: "The smell from these slaughter stalls is the strongest in your stall, but your business most?"
The bald butcher was slightly startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Fei, but still nodded and said, "That's right!" Then he explained a few words, "Grocery shopping is not shopping, and there are not so many people buying vegetables. Patience, whoever is quick will come to whose shop!"
The implication is that among so many people, his skill is the most agile.
Lin Fei nodded again, pointed to the overflowing swill bucket, and said, "Then you are using this swill bucket?"
The bald butcher glanced at the swill bucket, and replied, "I'm using it!"
Hearing this, Lin Fei looked at the bald butcher's expression, but squinted his eyes, and said, "The smell inside is not right, I want to see what's inside." While speaking, he turned his head and looked at Bai Zhu.
Bai Zhu understood immediately, turned around and ran quickly towards the Yamen of Dali Temple.
…
…
After the snack boneless chicken tenders were sold out early, Wen Mingtang went back to the back kitchen and started with a large piece of fat and thin, quite "beautiful" pork belly.
Snacks are in short supply, so it’s not that I don’t want to make more. After all, one serving is two servings, and five servings are six servings. It's just that there are only so many chicken **** in a day, and they will be gone when they are sold out. This is due to the supply of ingredients on the Zhuangzi.
There is no chicken breast, so I have other meat to make up.
Today, after Ji Caimai came back from Zhuangzi, he excitedly pulled Wen Mingtang aside, and then showed her a large piece of "really beautiful" streaky pork meat, and said happily: "The pork belly on Zhuangzi today is quite beautiful. , as soon as I went, I saw a lot of people scrambling for it, so I hurried forward, and finally grabbed such a piece!"
In all fairness, this piece of pork belly is not small, if it is a family, it will be enough for several meals! But if it is placed among so many people in the public kitchen, it may not be enough for one meal, so it will not be used as a dinner.
It can be used as a snack without making a meal! Wen Mingtang had a snack that he had been craving for a long time and needed such beautiful pork belly to make it.
Hearing Wen Mingtang say that he has been craving this snack for a long time, Ji Caimai immediately became interested, so he simply held a cup of milk tea and watched her make snacks with A Bing and Tangyuan, while chatting with them.
Wen Mingtang has always been "strict" when it comes to cooking and eating. He didn't put the pork belly meat into the pot until A Bing and Tang Yuan had thoroughly removed the hair from the pork belly meat. The wine and other things were cooked together.
Rubbing her sore arms, Tangyuan was feeling "it's not easy to pluck the hair, I will be the first one to serve this snack when it's ready", when she saw a few servants enter the public kitchen with serious expressions, and then walked away Going in front of Wen Mingtang, he asked Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, can I ask some questions about the knives used in this kitchen?"
