Chapter 3 Clear Noodles in Another World
evening.
The first floor of the castle, the lord's kitchen.
This time is the time for the servants to have dinner. When Bruno arrived, the servants were gathering together in groups of three or three to have dinner that day.
In this world, except for nobles like Bruno, most ordinary people can only eat two meals a day, namely breakfast and dinner.
"Is this your food today?"
Bruno curiously picked up a piece of black, hard and rough bread.
The sudden arrival of the lord made the servants who were eating uneasy, and the chef who was cleaning the ingredients was even more frightened.
"Yes, yes... it's the food of the villain." The servant stammered in fear and said quickly.
Bruno took the piece of black bread and looked around, and knocked on the stove next to him a few times. The black bread collided with the stove and made a sound of duangduang.
It's thick and hard, that's right, this is probably the legendary black bread...
Bruno has long heard of the black bread of medieval times and has a little impression of the original body's memory, but it is not until today that this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.
"You just eat this on weekdays?"
"If you want to say that, eating such black bread is considered a fairy-like life. The old butler is kind-hearted and the black bread he gives to the little people is made of barley, oats or rye. Although it is mixed with bran, peas and other things, it is much more delicious than ordinary black bread."
When Shabi, who was standing beside him, heard Bruno's questioning, quickly said.
"This is a fairy-like day? Could it be that other people's food is worse than that?" Bruno couldn't help asking.
"That's natural. Although ordinary people can occasionally catch a few fish to improve their lives, this black bread is still the staple food on weekdays. Most of the bread eaten by ordinary people is mixed with many small stones, sand, bran, weeds, etc., which not only makes you chew teeth, but also makes it even harder to swallow. What's worse, you can only grind cheap crops such as peas and acorns into powder to make bread."
After hearing this, although I had expected it, Bruno was still a little shocked. This world... is indeed too barren...
Can you... change... this barren and backward world?
After all the servants in the kitchen got up, Bruno then carefully looked at the ingredients and utensils in the kitchen.
Compared with the civilians who had not had the last meal, their lives seemed to be much better.
I have to say that the ingredients in the kitchen are not as single as Bruno had imagined. The fruits not only include common apples, lemons, peaches, etc., but also many unknown berries collected from the wild, while the vegetables include cabbage, onions, celery, radish and... beets!?
As if he had discovered a new continent, Bruno hurriedly walked over and picked up the beets and looked carefully. Beets are an important raw material for sugar making on the earth...
There must be no way to make sugar beet in this world. At least in the memory of this unlucky person who I have been wearing, beets are just simple vegetables used to make soup.
In this world, the source of sugar is only honey collected from the wild, which is hard to find. Therefore, sugar is particularly precious in this world.
It seems that you have to take some effort to make the candy in the future. This is the way to make money in front of you!
However, sugar making is not the top priority now.
Bruno has had enough time to deal with white bread that can barely be eaten, so it is what he wants to do most now as soon as possible.
As for the system's tasks... let's fill your stomach first. Anyway, the future is long, so you can't be in a hurry.
Cookware is very simple. People in this world only have the understanding of cooking foods, baking and cooking, so there is no iron pot, which shatters Bruno's dream of eating stir-fry.
After looking around, it seemed that noodle was the simplest.
It is impossible to do it yourself. As a noble, you must have the awareness of a noble.
He directed the chef to scoop out a large bowl of flour, add water and dough, and then carefully knead it repeatedly in the clay pot.
"Master, are you going to cook yourself?" Sabi asked softly.
"It depends on the situation..." Bruno said casually.
"How can this be done? It is not appropriate for the Lord to come to the place where the servants are here to stay. How can you do it yourself? If this is spread, it will damage your noble's dignity."
Old Ford frowned and said in a deep voice.
"I'm fine if I don't do it myself, right? Besides, the chef at home is indeed of limited ability, so I'll mention him by the way." Bruno said helplessly.
In this era, there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between nobles and civilians, so Bruno's behavior today was extremely rude to most nobles.
Old Ford had no choice but to nod. Although he grew up watching Bruno, Bruno was the owner of this land. If Bruno had not trusted him, what would be the difference between his status and ordinary servants?
The chef who was dating heard Bruno say that his level was limited, and he was so scared that he knelt on the ground, "Damn it, I can't make a meal that suits your taste..."
"Get up, I will teach you how to make noodles this time, and you can study it carefully in the future."
"Master, you are so awesome, you know everything!" Shabi praised with a smile on the side.
Bruno: “…”
Taking advantage of the waking time, Bruno selected a few fresh-looking vegetables and asked the servants to clean them carefully...
As for the meat... there are a lot of jerky hanging by the window in the kitchen, not only are there common beef and mutton, but also some wild game. However, perhaps because it has been left for too long, the surface of the meat is covered with a layer of mold, which is not fresh at first glance, not to mention the stinky smell hidden in the air.
In order to preserve meat products, most people in this world will dry the meat and store it without sprinkling too much salt.
Because in another world, the method of making salt is still very backward, and the people mostly use coarse salt, which has a bitter taste. Even aristocrats like Bruno, the salt they eat on weekdays is not much better.
Not only does it taste bad, but it is also not very large. I am careful when sprinkling salt and dare not overdo it at all.
After almost awakening when we met, Bruno planned to roll up his sleeves and go on the battle himself.
Although Old Ford wanted to say something, he still held it back. Forget it, just be rude and don't let someone say it out.
Bruno kneaded the dough with his hands and found that it had become a little elastic, so he simply pulled down a ball and rolled the dough on the chopping board with a rolling pin.
Although Bruno didn't cook much at home in his previous life, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running, so he started making noodles as if he were decent.
Although the process in between is a bit bumpy, the final result is also good.
Looking at the crooked and uneven noodles piled on the panel, Bruno finally felt a faint joy in his heart.
There was no iron pot, but there was a clay pot. Bruno stared at the vigorous fire until a faint fragrance came from the clay pot. Bruno's stomach screamed in disgrace.
Serve the noodles, add some lard, salt, oil and noodles, and the aroma are mixed in the hot air, which makes the index fingers sway.
"The master is worthy of being a wise man!" Swallowed, Shabi flattered him as soon as possible.
