C182 meatball formation (1/2)
After the chef left the carriage, Xiao Wen began to prepare the seasonings.
First of all, a little salt sweetness is necessary. After all, horse meat tasted even worse than beef. Without the concealment of the flavor, no matter how good the meat was, it was hard to swallow.
Next were ginger powder and garlic powder.
In fact, although ginger was grown in the big men, garlic, which originated in the highlands of Western Asia, was not introduced into China until the Han Dynasty.
Although it was introduced to China in the Han Dynasty, the long golden age of the Han Dynasty has only just begun. Therefore, in the Liubang period, garlic has not yet been introduced into China.
On the other hand, in this world's Qin and Han countries, garlic was not grown on a large scale.
If he wanted to eat this kind of seasoning that was relatively small in the Han, he would have to rely on imports.
However, in his previous life, Xiao Wen was already used to cooking with garlic. Thus, even though the price of garlic was a bit expensive, Xiao Wen still bought it.
Before coming to the prairie, Xiao Wen had considered the issue of keeping Jiang garlic fresh.
Although the shelf life of these two ingredients was longer than that of other vegetables, it was still considered rather long. However, compared to the five valleys, it was still very short.
Under the lack of hygiene in the prairie, it was impossible for Xiao Wen to eat ginger and garlic for months.
I'm afraid within a week, this thing will be corrupted!
Thus, Xiao Wen heated these two items to dry, and then ground them into fine powder using a drug store grinder.
When the time comes, sprinkle some on it. On top of the garlic and ginger, there was even a slight burnt smell.
”Zi Ran, should we release it?” Xiao Wen hesitated.
Although rare, Ziran, a native of the highlands of Egypt and Ethiopia, is a world of intertwined time and space. Many things could be found as long as they appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At most, because the Han Dynasty was located in the upper reaches of Chinese history, there were fewer new things than foreign countries. If Xiao Wen wanted to find these things, he would have to rely on the hearts of foreign countries.
As Ziran was one of the more important seasonings among the Xinjiang dishes in Inner Mongolia, Xiao Wen did not hesitate to buy it after the caravan brought it to the cloud.
Even though a tael of cumin cost Xiao Wen five taels of silver, Xiao Wen could not help but feel heartache.
If the meat in front of him was beef, then he would definitely not let it go. After all, something like cumin was made of thick fibers.
Even if it was ground into powder, ordinary people would not be able to notice it. However, Xiao Wen was, after all, an old turtle. Thus, he could clearly sense the cumin fiber in the food.
Therefore, adding the cumin powder to the meat balls would inevitably lower the taste of the meat balls.
If he was a lion head, that would be fine.
From Xiao Wen's point of view, the lion head was actually more concerned with the smell of sex.
Although the delicacies still had to be more or less based on the taste, but compared to using hand to hand meat balls, the Lion's Head and Zi Ran had no major problems.
However, what Xiao Wen was making now was meat balls. He would not allow any taste problems to occur with his hands.
However, this thing was still horse meat.
The horse meat was very fishy and needed to be covered up with spices. If he were to add Zi Ran, Xiao Wen believed that he would definitely be able to conceal the smell.
On the one hand, it tasted good, and on the other hand, it tasted good. Xiao Wen couldn't help but hesitate.
”The water is ready. It's in the other carriage. It was the carriage that required the installation of iron plates to insulate the flames and also the installation of chimneys. ” The chef's voice came from outside the carriage.
After all, a packhorse wasn't a war horse. Although it could walk for several hours a day, it couldn't charge.
