Chapter 122 Cooking for Him
Yun Xi was roasting the whole lamb while smearing sesame oil on it and turning it over constantly.
The seasoning is already applied before, so there is no need to apply seasoning again when baking.
When the sesame oil was almost applied, she asked a cook to take over the job of roasting the lamb while she went to prepare other things.
The cook had already separated the meat from the other lamb and the bones were already being used to make soup. Yun Xi took a piece of lamb and expertly cut it into thin slices, then put it into the boiling lamb soup pot, adding various seasonings and spices. Then she slowly simmered it over low heat.
Seeing that there were still some vegetables in the kitchen, she asked the cook to wash them and prepare to stew them with the mutton later. This would make the soup more rich and nutritious.
After doing all this, Yunxiu started to make mutton dumplings.
The cooks had already kneaded the dough, rolled out the dumpling wrappers, and chopped the stuffing. Yun Xi prepared the stuffing and started making dumplings.
Yun Xi calculated that even if each person made 20 dumplings, not counting the servants, there were more than a dozen people in the family, so a total of three or four hundred dumplings would be needed.
Fortunately, she was not the only one making dumplings. Several other cooks who had time could help. Later, when Xi and Yunfang came back, they also came to the kitchen. With so many people, it didn't take long to make hundreds of dumplings.
When the dumplings were almost done, Yun Xi stopped and let them continue making dumplings while she started to stir-fry the mutton. First, cut the mutton into small pieces and also cut the onions. Oh no, onions in this dynasty were called shallots.
Many people don't like eating shallots, thinking that they taste bad, and don't know that they should be cooked before eating, and just think that they should be eaten raw. Of course, eating them raw doesn't taste good.
Yun Xi knew that shallots tasted good when fried, especially when fried with meat, it could cover up the fishy smell and enhance the deliciousness of the dish.
There are many kinds of vegetables in Zhuangzi, basically all the vegetables that are available in this dynasty and can be grown in this season are planted, including chives.
For this dish of stir-fried mutton, Yunxi planned to stir-fry shallots with the mutton. She felt sorry that there were no carrots in this era. If there were carrots, she would add some to stir-fry together, and the taste would be better.
The lamb is fried, the skin of the roasted lamb has become golden and crispy, and the aroma fills the entire kitchen.
Lifting the lid of the stew pot, the mutton soup had become milky and rich. Yun Xi put the vegetables that she had prepared in advance into the pot.
At the same time, he started to boil water in another pot to cook dumplings. When the water boiled, he put the white and plump dumplings into the pot and took them out after they were cooked. The steaming dumplings looked very appetizing.
After some busy work, dinner was finally ready.
Yun Xi waved her hand at the table filled with roasted lamb, lamb soup, fried lamb, dumplings and other delicious dishes, and said with a smile, "Yes, Chen Tian, I made all of this myself. I have fulfilled my promise."
Ying Tianchen was surprised. It turned out that when Miss Yun said she was going to get busy, she meant to cook for him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yun. I didn't expect Miss Yun's cooking skills to be so good. The food is delicious and looks great. Just looking at it makes me hungry."
Yunxiu said, "Don't be too quick to praise it yet. It won't be too late to praise it after you eat it and find it delicious."
"It must be delicious." Ying Tianchen had a mysterious confidence in Yun Xi.
We still divided them into two tables, one for men and one for women and children.
Everyone was full of praise for Yunxi's cooking skills. When Ying Tianchen took the first bite, his eyes lit up and his taste buds were completely conquered.
Everyone was working hard, eating one dumpling at a time, then taking a big bite of roast lamb, and then another sip of lamb soup. It was simply too delicious.
Everyone wanted to swallow the chopsticks together, and they felt that the chopsticks dipped in the flavor of mutton were also very delicious.
