Chapter 332: Continue training

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head in a funny way, as expected, food is the most important thing for the people.

She sighed as she brought Zhixia and Zhou, who wanted to eat roast chicken, to the restaurant.

In the backyard, the cooks and ladies all got up. Gu Xiaoyou was too lazy to ask the two ladies why they were not sleeping.

She glanced at the sundial in the yard and said, "The little rooster has been marinated and can be taken out of the ice cellar."

"We'll go down right now," the two cooks said.

"I'll go too, there's something else I need down there." Gu Xiaoyou said, and then asked Zhixia to go to the kitchen to get some things. She went to the ice cellar with the two cooks.

After a while, the three people reappeared in the backyard, each carrying a basin and two wooden barrels.

The two cooks took it easily in their hands, and Gu Xiaoyou brought it back, even using his chin to hold it, for fear that the wooden basin and barrel would not be able to hold it.

Mrs. Wu immediately came over to help: "I'll get it."

With that said, he took the wooden basin easily and stretched out his hand to reach the wooden bucket in Gu Xiaoyou's hand.

"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou thanked her and handed the barrel of butter to Mrs. Wu: "You can take this barrel, I will do this."

Mrs. Wu took the barrel, carried the wooden basin, and easily delivered it to the stone table in the backyard.

Gu Xiaoyou walked behind with envy. She had never met an ancient person who was weak.

Probably only Liang'er can compete with her.

Slowly, he placed the wooden bucket containing raw milk on the table.

"Now I will teach you how to paint the little rooster." Gu Xiaoyou washed his hands, opened the cotton cloth on the wooden basin, and took out the little rooster.

Putting the rooster on the iron plate, Gu Xiaoyou picked up the garlic and other spices and wrapped them in gauze.

"Put this ingredient into the belly of the roasted chicken." He said and stuffed the seasoning packet into the belly of the little rooster.

The cooks did as they were told, and Gu Xiaoyou took out a thin cotton rope: "I'll tie it up next, watch my moves."

Gu Xiaoyou deliberately slowed down her movements to let the cooks see clearly the steps she took to tie up the little cock.

The cooks quickly got to work and tied up their little cocks.

Gu Xiaoyou checked one by one to make sure that the little rooster would not escape, and then took the wooden barrel of butter.

"Next, I'll teach you the seasoning." She opened the lid of the barrel: "This is the essential butter for roasting chicken."

"Butter?" The two cooks came over to take a look curiously. Others in the yard were also curious about what butter was, so they all came over to check it out.

I saw a yellow lump in the barrel, exuding a faint milky aroma.

While everyone was observing the butter, Gu Xiaoyou took a small spoon from the kitchen: "Everyone can have a taste."

As she spoke, she scraped off a piece of butter and put it in her mouth.

"Just eat it like this?" Zhou said hesitantly.

"Well, try it." Gu Xiaoyou pressed her chin and narrowed her eyes slightly. Butter without pollution is pure.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyou eating with a look of enjoyment, the others took down their spoons, scraped off a small piece, hesitated for a moment, and then put it in their mouths.

When they ate butter, their eyes lit up. The strange-looking ingredient actually tasted like this.

“Such a strong milky flavor.”

"I thought it would be greasy, but I didn't expect it to be so sweet."

Gu Xiaoyou scraped off another small piece and put it in his mouth: "It tastes good."

"Yeah." Several people nodded in agreement like chickens pecking at rice.

"I stirred this myself." Gu Xiaoyou said proudly: "Brush the roasted chicken first, and I will teach you how to make butter later."

The cooks nodded and followed Gu Xiaoyou to learn the techniques of roasting chicken.

Gu Xiaoyou first prepared the seasoning for brushing the chicken: "A little butter, a few drops of honey, according to this ratio, spread evenly."

The cooks followed the instructions and quickly coated the chicken, then followed Gu Xiaoyou and put the chicken on the iron rack of the oven.

"The heat of the roast chicken is slightly lower than that of the roast duck. The roasting time is the same. It takes four cups of tea on both sides." Gu Xiaoyou explained while lighting the fire.

The heat was quickly adjusted. Mrs. Tang observed the heat for a few moments before mastering the heat.

Gu Xiaoyou then handed over the task of lighting the fire to Mrs. Tang, with Zhixia and Zhou assisting her.

"Let's prepare the vegetable plate first, and then learn how to make butter." Gu Xiaoyou said, and quickly taught the cooks to prepare the vegetable plate.

Putting the vegetable plate aside for later use, Gu Xiaoyou brought over the wooden bucket of raw milk: "This is raw milk that has been stored in the ice cellar for three days. The milk inside has stratified."

The cooks came over to watch, and Mrs. Wu, who had nothing to do, also came over.

I saw the milk in the wooden barrel, with a light layer of white water floating on top and a thick white liquid at the bottom.

"Be careful when you take it, don't mix the two layers together." Gu Xiaoyou warned, holding the barrel steadily.

The cooks took notes carefully and watched Gu Xiaoyou's movements.

"Next, take out the top layer and put it into a bowl." Gu Xiaoyou put all the liquid in the cream layer into the bowl, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said seriously: "The next step is the last step.

A crucial step."

When the three people heard this, they couldn't help but look serious.

Gu Xiaoyou took the chopsticks and started stirring in the bowl: "Keep stirring until the liquid in the bowl turns into a yellow solid."

"There are two buckets of milk over there, you go ahead and do it." Gu Xiaoyou pressed her chin and stirred the cream with a painful expression.

The cooks thought it was a difficult step and spent a long time just stirring it.

The two people took out the cream water and stirred it quickly, looking quite relaxed and natural.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at how powerful they were and how fast they stirred, and felt a little envious. People who have never used a blender have ignorant happiness.

"Alas." Gu Xiaoyou sighed and stirred resignedly.

Seeing her helpless expression, Mrs. Wu said considerately, "Can I try it? I think it's fun for you to do it."

"Are you sure?" Gu Xiaoyou asked unexpectedly.

"Yes." Mrs. Wu nodded, took the bowl and chopsticks from Gu Xiaoyou's hand with a positive attitude, and started stirring quickly: "Is that so?"

"Yes, just stir in this direction." Gu Xiaoyou warned: "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

"No trouble." Mrs. Wu smiled and started stirring seriously.

Watching Mrs. Wu working, Gu Xiaoyou felt a strange feeling in her heart again. Is this Sister-in-law Wu too positive?

She looked at Mrs. Wu's movements with some confusion. At this time, Mrs. Zhou leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.

Gu Xiaoyou suddenly realized and understood Mrs. Wu's intention.

"Then what do you think of her?" Gu Xiaoyou asked Zhou's opinion softly.
