Nightwatcher Chapter 168: The production of crude chicken essence
The Criminal Ministry!
Two jailers opened the prison door one by one, banging on the fence with sticks, shouting: "My sirs, you can get out of prison."
While shouting, the jailers were grateful for their adherence to the rules. Each line has its own rules. The jailer's rule is not to provoke the martial artist, unless the opponent is a death row prisoner who has been abolished.
These high-rank martial arts who have not committed any serious crimes say that they will turn over when they turn over. This is an example.
The first reaction of the gangsters was that your majesty’s decree of condemnation was issued. They can be released from prison because the opponent’s goal has been reached and there is no need to continue to imprison them.
After leaving the dungeon, the defendant was told to sign and draw back their uniforms and gongs.
This process is very familiar to people, which means acquittal and restoration of official status.
"Your Majesty forgave us? It's not possible..." someone muttered.
The people looked at each other and looked at each other's confused expressions, everyone was at a loss.
This prison disaster is obviously the result of a party fight. Everyone is always fighting and fighting, and even the dangerous and vicious partisan fights, seizing the opportunity to punish the opponent to death. Will never settle things easily.
Wei Gong abandoned something and replaced us from the Criminal Ministry... Jiang Luzhong quickly made a guess and looked at the three golden gongs beside him.
The golden gongs exchanged their eyes silently, they were all similar guesses. For a while, my heart was a little heavy, and soon there was gratitude that the scholars died for the confidant, and he secretly thanked Wei Yuan in my heart.
Received back uniforms, weapons and waist badges, and beat the guards. People left the criminal department in silence and returned to the Yamen. Everyone finally had the joy of "aftermath".
The silence from the beginning turned into an excited conversation. A guy was still picking up his colleagues and said to go to Jiaofangsi to be happy.
The golden gongs looked at him a few more times. He was a guy walking with squinting eyes. He seemed to belong to the slick and treacherous type.
"Song Tingfeng, you just got out of jail now, you can't wait to make mistakes." The gong beside him dissatisfied.
"What do you know? The clean silver gongs like my boss have entered. It doesn't matter whether you are greedy or not. It just depends on whether the adults above want to mess with you." The gong with squinted eyes Plausibly.
It's quite savvy...the golden gongs said heartily.
"If Xu Ningyan goes, we will go." Tong Gong said.
Jiang Luzhong's eyes brightened, and he smiled and said to Jin Gong beside him: "Xu Ningyan is the darling of Jiaofang Secretary, and the oirans are vying for the object. A while ago, Yang Yan and I took these little guys to Jiaofang. Secretary drinking, good fellow...In addition to the fragrant fragrance, there were also four oirans present."
In the eyes of the three golden gongs questioning, the relaxed Jiang Li rubbed the shallow crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, and smiled: "The Oiran of Jiaofang has a well-deserved reputation. It makes me seem to be back when I was young."
The three golden gongs couldn't hide the envy in their eyes.
Although they are not short of women, the oiran of the Jiaofang Division is not within the scope that the Jin gongs can enjoy freely. This does not mean that the power of the Jin gong is not large enough, but the Jiaofang Division belongs to the department of the Ministry of Rites. Human power does not work here.
It's impossible for the golden gongs to play tea rounds with the guests, and directly ask the oiran to serve them, 100% will be rejected. It's not easy to make trouble, because the Ministry of Rites wants them to make trouble.
Back to the Yamen, the four golden gongs went to Haoqilou first to listen to Wei Yuan's teachings and show loyalty.
"Just take advantage of this opportunity to clear up the evil spirits of the yamen and manage your own subordinates." Wei Yuan said.
The four golden gongs bowed their heads and led the way.
Wei Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "This time you can come out. It is not me who should be grateful, but another person."
Another person? Your Majesty opens an amnesty? Jiang Luzhong guessed in his mind.
"It's Xu Qi'an." Wei Yuan said gently.
Xu Qi'an? This answer made the four Jin gongs dare to be surprised and unbelievable.
Jiang Luzhong straightened his back and spoke respectfully: "Wei Gong, what happened while I was in prison?"
Wei Yuan told the four Jin gongs about the case of the Ministry of Industry's Shangshu fornicating the witch gods, and emphatically described the importance of Xu Qi'an in the case.
The four Jin gongs left Haoqi Building, Jiang Luzhong looked depressed and in a bad mood.
A golden gong ridiculed: "Envy that gong has repeatedly made credit?"
Jiang Luzhong shook his head, closed his sharp eyes, and sighed: "I should have smashed to the end with Yang Yan and recruited Xu Qi'an to his subordinates."
"Xu Tongluo is indeed a rare talent, but his strength is lower."
"You know what a fart, you don't even know him..." Jiang Luzhong shut up suddenly.
"Huh?" The three golden gongs looked at him.
"Don't say, don't say." Jiang Luzhong shook his head.
"The surname is Jiang, you are a woman from a brothel, **** and twisting your ass, are you purely seduce people."
"Come on, I also think he is strange what is going on with that little gong. Wei Yuan is too fond of a gong."
"Want to know, ask Wei Gong to go."
No matter how the three golden gongs questioned, Jiang Luzhong didn't say anything.
.....
After asking the second uncle's opinion briefly, Xu Qi'an went out to buy a ghost house the next day.
Actually, the second uncle meant to look again, but both aunts and Lingyue were quite satisfied with the house, except for the female ghost in the well, but heard from the head of the family, Xu Ershu said: Since the people of the Tianjian have seen it, then There will be no problems.
The aunt and Xu Lingyue were completely relieved.
Ya Xing admires Xu Qi'an's head iron very much, and even feels a little embarrassed. For this reason, he hired some people to clean the house.
At dinner, Xu Qi'an asked Xu Pingzhi: "Second uncle, the house has been idle for many years and needs to be repaired. I took my aunt and sister to see it that day. The structure of the house remains intact, but some windows and doors are decayed."
Xu Pingzhi pondered: "Half a month is enough."
Half a month? It’s not for fine decoration, so it takes so much time... Xu Qi’an said: “Let’s hire a group of craftsmen, look for them from the outer city, and let them spin around at twelve o'clock, so it’s almost seven days.”
Xu Pingzhi was taken aback: "Why are the craftsmen in the outer city better than the inner city?"
"Because carpenters in the outer city are cheap, and they don't know that the house is haunted. They can live in it with peace of mind."
The heart is so dark...the family thought.
The job of hiring a carpenter is entrusted to Xu Pingzhi. Xu Qi'an is inexperienced in these trivial things.
Second Uncle Xu is from the old capital. He is responsible for these things. Aunt and sister are relieved.
This man still has a little hairy mouth. Men like it, and women like it.
....
Xu Qi'an, who hadn’t been to the Jiaofang Division for almost a week, took a break this day and drove out in a horse-drawn carriage. He met the owner of the mountain shop that he had contacted in advance in the market and bought two baskets of shiitake mushrooms from him.
Next, he fulfilled his two promises: one, to help Chu Caiwei promote to the sixth rank of Warlock; second, to feed Chu Caiwei below.
The goal is very clear, to make a crude version of chicken essence.
Xu Qi'an has watched a video before. The person who posted the video was a gourmet, not Mr. Bei, but a serious gourmet.
He collected many ancient recipes and made delicacies according to the recipes' steps, and found that the ancient delicacies were not as delicious as expected.
After summarizing, I found that the biggest difference between modern cuisine and ancient cuisine is not the change and increase of styles, but the reformation of seasonings.
After coming to this world, Xu Qi'an deeply agreed with this statement. The chef of Guiyuelou's craftsmanship is very good, but the meals of ordinary people seem very dull, even if the Xu family is making broth.
"The emergence of MSG is a major breakthrough in the human food industry..." Xu Qi'an poured two baskets of shiitake mushrooms into a large tank for soaking.
Then went over the wall to the main house, stole an old hen, killed it, and stewed it in a small earthen stove.
Next, simply wash the soaked shiitake mushrooms, pick them up and drain them, and put them in another pot of the earthen stove.
Xu Qi'an does not intend to make MSG, because he lacks relevant knowledge and production experience, he only knows that the main ingredient of MSG is sodium glutamate. It can be extracted from grain fermentation and kelp.
...but, isn’t the fermented grains wine? Xu Qi'an murmured while recalling.
The option of extracting monosodium glutamate from kelp was directly deleted and not adopted. The reason is simple and the cost is too high.
Dafeng Capital is located in the Central Plains, far away from the coast. Although there are water and sea transportation, marine goods in Beijing are still luxury goods that can only be enjoyed by dignitaries.
"To extract a sufficient amount of monosodium glutamate from kelp, an extremely large quantity is required. Even if you buy it, you can’t extract much monosodium glutamate."
Xu Qi'an's plan is to use chicken essence instead of MSG. Thanks to his childhood curiosity, one day, the family suddenly came too happy, and mother no longer needed MSG.
He was very curious, how did this yellow thing replace MSG. So I looked at the ingredients carefully.
The main ingredient of chicken essence is guanylic acid, which is a fresh substance that can compare with MSG. The guanylic acid is abundant in shiitake mushrooms.
The time passed bit by bit, and water was added several times along the way. The mushrooms and the old hen were gradually boiled, and a peculiar umami smell permeated the small kitchen.
Xu Qi'an took out the mushrooms, leaving a thick juice in the pot. Put the boiled mushrooms on the filter gauze and wring them vigorously to produce a thick juice. A few times later, the shiitake mushrooms on Sabri were dry, as if his body was hollowed out.
The next process is ~IndoMTL.com~ Mix the thick old hen broth and mushroom juice together, mash the chicken and chicken bones with a medicine pot, mix them into the juice, and stir evenly.
However, just wait for the juice to dry naturally into lumps, and then grind the lumps into powder, and a simple version of chicken essence is formed.
After doing all this, Xu Qi'an glanced at the sky, it was dusk.
At this point, the cook should be busy with dinner, just to try the invention of the scum from the 21st century.
Seek product feedback from your second aunt and uncle.
I have a hunch that Xu Lingyin is going to eat ten bowls today... Xu Qi'an's mouth is slightly tilted, and he happily filled the thick juice overnight, and went over the wall to the main house.
PS: Today is very sour and cool. I have been fighting wits and courage with my superiors all day, looking for all the opportunities to doze off. Call~ Finally a chapter is written before get off work. In addition, the baby carriage was not used in the previous chapter, only some parts were deleted, so it seems that the object is not Xiaodouding. I have changed it.
The next chapter will be written after I go home. In addition, ask for a monthly ticket~
