The main task of Li An and his soldiers was to cook. After cooking, they would eat. After eating, they would return to the port town.
The antelope meat had been stewed long ago, the roast lamb chops were also being prepared, and the stir-fried antelope innards began to emit a tempting aroma. As for the good wine, they had brought enough when they set off.
However, these delicacies were not enough. The variety of food was still a little too simple. Fortunately, the soldiers had hunted a lot of pheasants and collected a lot of wild fruits. The wild fruits could be used to make platters, and the pheasants could be used to make more delicious food.
"Oh, this pheasant looks good. Its feathers are very beautiful. It must be very vigorous."
Ang Lee saw the pheasant in the soldier's hand and said.
"Big Brother, do you want to add another dish?"
Li Feiyu asked.
Ang Lee thought for a moment and replied, "The coconut fruits we just collected are all cooked! How many are left? "
"Big Brother, there are a lot of them. It's enough for each of us."
Ang Lee said happily, "That's great. Let's make a coconut chicken rice! No, it should be called coconut chicken. This name is domineering enough. "
The so-called Wild Chicken with Coconut Juice was a delicacy made from wild chicken, coconut juice, and a large amount of seasoning. The taste of this dish was very good. Li An had eaten it many times in his previous life and was very infatuated with this delicacy. To be able to eat this dish in this place was also a kind of enjoyment.
Moreover, Li An had enough reason to believe that the Wild Chicken with Coconut Juice he was going to make now would definitely be better than the Wild Chicken with Coconut Juice he had eaten in his previous life. After all, the taste of wild chicken was definitely better than that of ordinary domestic chicken. This was an innate advantage that ordinary chicken could not compare to.
"Big Brother, using coconut juice to stew pheasant meat, isn't this a bit wasteful? After all, coconut juice is very good. Isn't it better to stew it with spring water?"
Li Feiyu felt that it was a bit wasteful and said.
Ang Lee came down from the net and looked at Li Feiyu. He said, "Are you stupid? You also know that coconut milk is delicious. Don't you think it will be delicious if you use delicious coconut milk to stew delicious pheasant chicken with a lot of side dishes and spices? "
Hearing Ang Lee's words, Li Feiyu was almost drooling. He quickly nodded and said, "It's delicious. The Wild Chicken with Coconut Juice made in this way will definitely be very delicious. Big Brother, you know how to make this dish."
Ang Lee said proudly, "Of course. Let the soldiers deal with the pheasant. Also, prepare some more ingredients. One tael of onions, half a tael of carrots, three large chili peppers, a small amount of rice wine, a little salt, enough coconut juice, a big spoonful of white powder …"
After Li Feiyu ordered the soldiers to prepare, Ang Lee began to recall how to make the Wild Chicken with Coconut Juice. Although he was very familiar with this dish, it was Ang Lee's first time making this dish, so it was inevitable that he was a little unfamiliar with it.
"Big Brother, everything is ready. You can cook it yourself."
Li Feiyu came over and said with a smile.
Ang Lee nodded and personally walked to the newly built iron pot and began to cook the Wild Chicken with Coconut Juice.
This was Ang Lee's first time cooking this dish, so it was inevitable that he was a little unfamiliar with it. He had to cook it slowly.
Li An first inspected the processed pheasant meat and removed all the bad parts, leaving only the best parts. He then reprocessed the pheasant meat to make it look better, so that people would have an appetite after looking at it.
After cutting the pheasant chicken, Ang Lee also cut all the prepared three large chili peppers. Moreover, he cut them into thin slices. Only in this way could the taste be better. He couldn't put too much onions, just a little would be enough.
All kinds of green onions and oil fumes naturally had to be prepared. After all these seasonings were prepared, Ang Lee began to heat the pot.
After the pot was heated, Ang Lee poured the oil into the pot. After the oil temperature reached the standard, he put in green onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings. After a while, he put in the big chili peppers that were cut into thin slices. These seasonings were for the taste. Only by adding these seasonings could the fishy smell of the pheasant chicken be removed and the pheasant chicken taste better.
After adding these seasonings, the aroma quickly filled the surroundings, making people feel very comfortable. Since the aroma had been squeezed out, the next step was naturally to add the pheasant meat. After the pheasant meat was put in, under the high temperature of the oil, this kind of sizzling sound was quite pleasant to the ear, making people unable to help but drool when they heard it.
However, this dish was not fried pheasant chicken, so the frying time could not be too long. After frying for a while, the coconut juice that was prepared in advance could be poured in.
When the coconut juice was poured into the pot, it had to be enough to completely soak the pheasant chicken, and a little more. After all, as the stew continued, the coconut juice in the pot would definitely continue to decrease, so more had to be prepared. Moreover, if it was not enough, they had to continue to add more.
In fact, in the cooking of the coconut chicken in the future, it would definitely not be like Ang Lee's, adding so much coconut juice would greatly increase the cost. They would add at most 200 grams, and the rest would be directly added with water. If the soup was not enough, they would continue to add water. This way, they could better control the cost of the dish. If too much coconut juice was added, the boss's profit would be thin. In the era of profiteers everywhere, how could there be a kind boss who would use all the real ingredients? It would be good enough if he did not cheat people to death.
Under the roasting of the fire, the coconut juice quickly boiled. At this time, Ang Lee added a small amount of salt and cooking wine, and also some coriander to further adjust the taste.
"How is it? It smells delicious!"
Ang Lee looked at Li Feiyu beside him and said.
Li Feiyu sniffed hard and said, "The fragrance of the meat, coconut milk, and many spices are all intertwined together. This smell is too good. Not to mention eating, just asking about it is very satisfying."
"Of course, it's a famous dish! Not only is it delicious, but it also has the effect of cooling and relieving the heat. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a medicinal herb! Haha! "
Ang Lee laughed proudly.
"It's so delicious, I must eat more later."
Li Feiyu joked.
It had to be said that the light pheasant chicken with coconut juice was the ideal delicacy to relieve the heat. Moreover, it was said that it had the effect of beautifying, but it was unknown if it really had such an effect.
The soldiers were all busy, and all kinds of delicacies were being made as quickly as possible. The entire ten-mile radius was filled with the tempting aroma of food.
The first dish to come out of the pot was the stir-fried antelope. Because it was chopped and stir-fried, it was the fastest to come out of the pot. Next was the barbecued antelope steak, and finally the stewed meat and pheasant chicken with coconut juice.
Food was always best when it was simmered over a small fire. How good could quick-cooked food be? There was an old saying that went, "Slow work produces fine work." Food that took a lot of time to cook was the most delicious and delectable delicacies.
Among all the delicacies, the pheasant chicken with coconut juice made by Ang Lee was undoubtedly the best. This dish could not be called a dish, but a soup. This was because other dishes were either dry or had only a small amount of juice. This dish was full of coconut juice, so it should be called a soup.
"Soldiers, let's eat and drink. Take out all the wine and drink three big bowls each. After we are full, we will go back."
Ang Lee said loudly.
"Okay."
All the soldiers responded loudly.
The soldiers each chose their favorite delicacies, and the best, the wild chicken with coconut juice, was enjoyed by Li An alone. However, Li An did not plan to eat it alone. After tasting it, he would share it with the soldiers. Only then would it be interesting. If he ate it all alone, it would be too boring.
Because it was cooked for a long time, the milk and spices of the coconut were all immersed in the pheasant chicken. Coupled with the freshness of the pheasant chicken, the taste was really wonderful.
Ang Lee put a small piece of pheasant chicken into his mouth and gently removed the bones inside. He immediately felt that his mouth was smooth and delicate. The more he chewed, the more he felt that the pheasant chicken had a different taste. After swallowing it completely, there was a feeling of endless aftertaste. The freshness of the pheasant chicken, the fragrance of the spices, and the milk taste of the coconut milk all lingered in his mouth, stimulating his taste buds and making him involuntarily secrete a lot of saliva. If he did not hurry up and eat another piece, his saliva would immediately flow out.
"It is really a delicacy in the world!"
Ang Lee sighed and picked up the next piece of pheasant chicken and continued to eat heartily, completely forgetting that Li Feiyu and the others beside him were swallowing saliva.
"Big Brother, I want a piece too. It's really tempting to look at it."
Li Feiyu put down the barbecue in his hand, gently picked up a piece of pheasant chicken and ate it without hesitation.
Of course, Ang Lee would not stop his brother. It was really delicious to have someone to share the delicious food with. It was better to share it with others than to enjoy it by himself.
"Big Brother, this is too delicious. It is much more fragrant than this barbecue. Delicious, delicious!"
After eating, Li Feiyu did not know how to express it. He just kept saying that it was delicious.
This was a peerless delicacy that Ang Lee spent a lot of effort to cook. Naturally, it was very delicious. It was absolutely delicious.
Such delicious food made the surrounding soldiers who were eating heartily very envious. However, they would not be as rude as Li Feiyu. They did not dare to think about Ang Lee's delicious food.
The pheasant chicken with coconut juice was a peerless delicacy. The taste of the milky white soup inside was naturally not bad. After Ang Lee ate three to five pieces of pheasant chicken, he drank the soup with a spoon and enjoyed the taste of the soup.
"Fresh, fragrant, smooth, endless aftertaste."
Ang Lee took a sip gently and said with intoxication.
The coconut juice was delicious enough, but the soup at this time was even more delicious. It was more than ten times better than the coconut juice.
"Big Brother, I want to drink a little too."
Li Feiyu was really greedy. He scooped a big spoonful into the bowl and drank it all in one breath.
"Refreshing, too refreshing, too delicious. I've never tasted such fresh and smooth soup before."
Li Feiyu was intoxicated.
Ang Lee wanted to eat and drink all the delicious food in this pot in one breath. However, looking at the envious expressions of the surrounding soldiers, Ang Lee decided to let the soldiers taste this delicious food.
However, a pot of pheasant chicken with coconut juice was not too little or too much. If Ang Lee ate it alone, it was enough. However, if more than a hundred soldiers tried it, it was definitely not enough. A mouthful of soup was not enough for each person, let alone a piece of delicious pheasant chicken.
In a situation where there were too many monks and too little meat, it was obviously impossible to satisfy the appetite of all the soldiers. As a result, only a portion of the soldiers could get this benefit.
Who was allowed to eat meat, who was allowed to drink soup, and who was allowed to just watch? That would depend on one's ability. Only when the strong were allowed to eat meat would everyone be convinced. Those who couldn't would also stop complaining about how unfair it was.
Who was strong and who was weak was not decided by Ang Lee alone. They had to compete in person to be fairer.
Ang Lee could decide what to compete in. Wrestling, running, arm wrestling, archery, ball throwing, anything was fine.
Ang Lee took out a few copper coins and tied them with a rope. He handed them to one of the soldiers and said, "Hang these copper coins fifty steps away. Any soldier who can hit the coins can eat a piece of pheasant chicken or drink a mouthful of soup. You can choose."
The copper coins were quickly placed fifty steps away and hung on a tree branch. They looked small from afar, but they were definitely visible.
"Those who want to eat meat or drink soup, go and try!"
Ang Lee encouraged again.
"Let me try."
"Let me try too."
These soldiers were all elite soldiers and had never admitted defeat. They naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to perform in front of them.
Shooting copper coins at a distance of fifty paces was still very difficult. Not all soldiers had this level of skill. Even in the future, it was not easy to achieve this. Therefore, this rule was destined to make most of the soldiers unable to eat meat.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
More than half of the soldiers had participated in the competition, and the remaining less than half were busy eating the roast meat. Perhaps in their eyes, the roast meat was delicious enough, and there was no need to waste energy fighting for the more delicious wild chicken with coconut juice. Or perhaps, their strength was at the bottom of this group of soldiers, and they felt that it was impossible for them to hit the copper coin 50 steps away. Rather than humiliating themselves, it was better to eat the roast meat peacefully and fill their stomachs first.
It had to be said that Ang Lee's method was very good. Most of the soldiers could not hit the copper coins. After the first round of shooting, there was only one copper coin left out of the six.
"Good, very good. Five warriors, you can choose to eat a piece of meat or drink a mouthful of soup."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"I can only choose one of the two?"
The soldier was somewhat unwilling and seemed to want both.
"You can only choose one of the two. However, you can continue to shoot copper coins in the next round. If you hit it, you can still choose. "
