This issue is really not something that the people here can explain clearly, because they are not Emperor Lieyang and don’t know what he thinks.
"I'm going to do an interview when I have time. What do you think it would be appropriate for me to bring?" Dowling asked.
Although Daolin asked everyone this question, in fact only Concubine Li could answer it.
"In terms of things, as the fourth master of the Li family, he will definitely have plenty of them. In fact, just meeting him in the past is already the best gift, because what we give is sincerity." Concubine Li said calmly.
"Having said that, I think it's still a bit abrupt. Let's do it this way. I'll cook a few dishes myself and bring them over. This will make me look familiar." After thinking about it, Dolin made a decision.
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.
"If you quit drinking, please go to the City Lord's Mansion later and make an appointment with him for dinner. I'll start cooking in the afternoon and have a good meal with him at the City Lord's Mansion in the evening. You can also bring me some good wine brewed from gourds. said Dorian to the abstainer.
"No problem!" Jijiu nodded and immediately took out five wine gourds and handed them to Daolin.
Dowling took it and put it into the ring.
Lunch was cooked by Qiu Huo and Wu Ziyong, and I have to say that their cooking skills have improved a bit, and they are now able to take charge of themselves.
After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Concubine Li re-planned the room and personally arranged a suitable room for Chu Xiyun, so that everyone could stay.
The front yard belongs to the Wang brothers and the Chou brothers. The three-story courtyard in the middle is the third floor for Daolin and the second floor for Jiji. During this period, the Wang brothers also built two separate small courtyards near the backyard on the north side of the viewing lake. hospital.
Now King Thunder and Flash lives there, and Old Donkey Tou is back. The two of them live in the same courtyard, and Chu Xiyun lives in the same courtyard.
Concubine Li and Mi Lu still lived in the backyard, and the kitchen was for Wu's own use.
After arranging their respective residences, Daolin called Concubine Li and he asked some questions.
Dolin felt that the place was a little crowded. It wasn't that the house was not big enough. In fact, it was already very big. The main reason was that there were too many people around him.
Concubine Li gave the answer, that is, the first property is now being renovated. After all, it was almost destroyed by the battle between Daolin and Ye Guangxian. It is said to be renovated, but in fact it is equal to reconstruction. The construction team was provided by Chairman Zhao. Very solid.
When that side is rebuilt, at least half of the people will have to move here, and then this side will be spacious.
When Daolin saw that Concubine Li had arranged everything very reasonably, he immediately gave a big thumbs up to Concubine Li.
He handed Concubine Li a ring by the way, and the ring contained one million taels of silver.
"What do you mean?" Concubine Li naturally knows how to use the storage ring. Although she has no cultivation level, Daolin's ring is not locked and can be used by anyone.
"I know that everyone follows me because of friendship, but we can't let the brothers have no money in their pockets. This one million taels is regarded as a salary for everyone. We are not short of money now, and we will have income in the future, so it should be paid Wages still need to be paid, and our wages need to be high."
Concubine Li nodded. Although money is indeed an external thing to them, I posted this to win over people's hearts. It is inevitable that when everyone needs money, if there is a big treasury around them, but they can't get the money out of their pockets. When it comes, it will create a gap in people's hearts.
We need to be proactive about this kind of thing. We can't wait until someone asks for money before giving out money. That would make us passive. It's better to take the initiative and give money directly.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this kind of thing." Concubine Li assured Daolin sternly.
"From now on, you will be our mastermind and housekeeper. If you have any problems or difficulties, communicate with me in time." Daolin smiled and patted Concubine Li on the shoulder.
Concubine Li also nodded solemnly. She knew that this was because Daolin trusted her. One million taels was nothing to Daolin, but to the common people, one million taels was a silver tael that they could not earn in ten lifetimes. .
"Okay, you have to prepare dinner. I'm going to have a good dinner with Fourth Master Li tonight, and he will be the father-in-law. It will be easier for us to work." After saying this, Daolin walked towards the kitchen. Concubine Li returned to her small second floor.
When they came to the kitchen, they saw Qiu Huo and Wu Ziyong busy cleaning up. They knew that Daolin loved cleanliness, so they also paid attention to the environmental hygiene of the kitchen.
"You two have a rest, it's already very clean." Dowling said with a smile.
"The young master cooks himself, let's help you get started." Qiu Huo said with a smile. In fact, he also wanted to learn something from him.
Dolin did not refuse. If this happened in the past, he would definitely do things like washing and chopping vegetables himself.
He told the two of them the dishes he was going to cook. He prepared a total of seven dishes, four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup dish.
The meat dishes include 'dragon and phoenix in auspiciousness', 'kung fu boneless pig', 'national beauty and heavenly fragrance' and 'four different'.
Vegetarian dishes are simple seasonal vegetables.
The soup dish is a very complex soup called pheasant soup.
After explaining the ingredients that Daolin needed, Qiu Huo and Wu Ziyong were confused. They had never heard of these dishes and didn't know how to start.
So Daolin told them about the required ingredients. It would be good to have them ready-made. If Wu didn't have them for his own use, he would immediately go to the market to buy them.
Not long after, Daolin was ready to make the "Dragon and Phoenix Presenting Xiang" and "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance". There have been production methods before, so I won't describe them specifically this time. I will mainly talk about "Kung Fu Boneless Pig".
'Kung Fu Boneless Pig' is a lost sacred dish. Even the records in Daolin's grandfather Dao Tiangao's notes are incomplete. Daolin combined his notes and Taishi Xingwei's research to create it. It can be regarded as a continuation of the legend. .
This dish requires the chef to have superb knife skills. It would be much easier for someone like Daolin who has mastered knife skills to make it.
Daolin first used the "Pao Ding Jie Bei Knife Technique" to dissect and remove the bones of the piglet, and then gave the piglet a hot bath with the old medicinal soup. During this period, he had to use a frying spoon to continuously pour the soup to the piglet, so as to ensure that the piglet had a hot bath. The whole body of the pig can be heated evenly, and it can also remove the odor and improve the aroma.
When the piglet is cooked, take it out, wrap it with a clean drawer cloth, and then beat it with your fists to make the pork tender. Turn the pig over and sprinkle with the secret marinade (peanut crisps). , cumin, salt, etc.) before applying the marinade evenly to ensure that the pork is flavorful.
Then the piglet is dressed up, special vinegar is applied to the skin, and then the piglet is dried with infuriating air, and then grilled over charcoal fire until the skin is crispy and bursting with juice.
Daolin left the roasting work to Qiu Huo, and he also needed to make other dishes.
