37. The matter of the kitchen
In view of the fact that she was good when she was listening to Xilin Jue Luo's housekeeper, Xilin Jue Luo was ready to give her a piece for her to try, she thought about it for a few days and handed over the people and things in the kitchen to Shu Yierha.
Shu Yierha took on a heavy responsibility at the beginning, and was quite eager to try, and wanted to make some achievements to show her grandmother and parents, after knowing that Xilin Jue Luo had this intention, she began to observe the operation mode of the kitchen, and prepared to show her skills when the time came.
Out of the first month, Shu Yierha officially took over the kitchen, she first went to the kitchen to check, the kitchen at home occupies a total of two large rooms, one is a storage room, there are several cabinets and tables, bowls, plates, rice and noodles are placed here, the other is the place for cooking, a total of four stoves, you can cook soup and stir-fry porridge and steamed snacks at the same time, even there are several boards, and noodles and vegetables have their own division of labor, Shu Yierha turned around, and was generally satisfied with the sanitary environment of the kitchen, and nodded secretly.
In view of people's awareness of hygiene, some details of the kitchen are not satisfactory, such as the washed dishes and chopsticks have not been dried and put away, such as cutting cooked food and cutting raw food knives are not separated, etc., the problem is not big, Shu Yierha pointed out, the kitchen housekeeper lady did not shirk, and immediately beckoned people to change, this attitude made Shu Yierha feel very comfortable, and had a more intuitive understanding of the ability of the old lady and Xilin Jue Luo's housekeeper.
Theoretically speaking, the servants in the family all rely on the master to eat, and most of them are death deeds, that is, even the life of the family is the master's family, they don't say that the master's family is born and died, at the very least, it is always necessary to listen to the master's orders, right? That is, in the future society, if you work in someone else's company, you should also complete the work arranged by others, not to mention the situation that the servants can buy and sell at will, the ideal state is of course what the master's family says, and what the servants do.
However, if all the servants can be so conscious, then there will be no "slave bullying master" word, people's hearts have always been the most difficult to grasp, not to mention because there are many masters and the servants who lead the zhì faction, even if there are few people in the family, it is inevitable that there will be servants who ignore the masters who are not in power, and the powerful housekeeper like Shu Yierha's family can obey the words of the little master on the first day of office, instead of making excuses to shirk, from this point of view, Xilin Jue Luo has definitely worked hard.
There are two cooks who cook for the master at home, a white case and a red case, Shu Yierha is familiar with the white case master, because Shu Yierha remembered the cake and dim sum of later generations, and let her try to make it with her a few times, knowing that her surname is Zhang, people don't like to talk, and she looks a little strict, but the craftsmanship is very good, and the understanding is very high, the pastry that Shu Yierha wants, she can make a very similar finished product just based on the language description.
Another red case master, Shu Yierha is relatively unfamiliar, only know that her surname is Wang, her hometown is Shandong, she makes dishes in the style of Lu cuisine, most of the vegetable markets are fragrant and crispy, pay attention to the taste, and are not too heavy on oil and salt, she may also know some medical theory or health preservation, because Shu Yierha has long found that her cooking is very good, most of them are good for health, and after asking her in detail, she really knows that it was Erhe who found a doctor to teach her.
Shu Yierha is very satisfied with these two cooks, but as a family that loves to eat, she has quite a lot of recipes in her head, and regardless of cuisine or type, there is everything, she personally prefers to eat spicy, and has no sense of sweet and sour taste that most people love, in order to pursue higher food enjoyment, she pretextually saw from the book, first told Chef Wang a few recipes, which belong to the southern home cooking, which is very fresh for Chef Wang, who has never been out of the capital in her life, she tried to make it, Shu Ierha tasted the taste, and let her do it when she was satisfied, and presented it to the old lady and the Erhe couple to taste。
Shu Yierha's management of the kitchen is officially on track, she only reformed a few details, and the rest is still in accordance with the previous practice, but her innovation in dishes is very popular with family members, Chef Wang's skills are good, but after years of eating, there has long been no freshness, and now there are new dishes to try, even if Erhe, who is not heavy on appetite, is in a happy mood.
Xilin Jue Luo saw that Shu Yierha managed the kitchen only in order, and praised her greatly, thinking that she had a talent for kitchen work, thinking about her general female red, and felt that since the female red was not brilliant, then find an advantage in kitchen work, and there must always be a skilled handicraft, thinking of this, Xilin Jue Luo discussed with Shu Yierha, and asked her to learn cooking for half an hour every day, Shu Yierha looked at her delicate little hands, originally unwilling, but after listening to Xilin Jue Luo's explanation, he reluctantly agreed.
Shu Yierha loves food, but she doesn't like to do it herself, because she hates the smell of oil smoke, but Xilin Jue Luo is right, she must have two specialty dishes, otherwise people talk about it, embroidery and embroidery are not good, cooking and cooking are not good, these women should have all the skills can not be used, and it is strange to say that they have no face, even if they can do a few things, they should light up this skill first.
When Shu Yierha began to learn to cook, from Xilin Jue Luo to the two cooks were very surprised, because she learned very quickly, whether it was making noodles or stir-frying soup, she often taught it once, and the things she made tasted good, but she was not skilled enough, otherwise everyone would think that she had practiced before.
What they don't know is that Shu Yierha used to live alone for a long time, but she didn't like to cook anymore, and she practiced cooking skills after doing more, and she cooked with good color and flavor, but she couldn't do knife work, but she didn't pay so much attention to what she ate, so she never deliberately practiced, but now the chefs are demanding, so she has to start from scratch.
Shu Yierha looked at his class schedule, and deeply felt that it was not easy to be an ancient lady, and there were a lot of skills to learn, from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to embroidery and cooking, from horseback riding and archery to housekeeper directors, and she was all-round when learning, because of Erhe's personal preferences, she also had to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, compared with a number of Manchu nobles who didn't even know Chinese characters, Shu Yierha felt that her courses were a bit much.
A long time ago, Shu Yierha wondered, how did those women in ancient times pass the time all day long? And there was no computer and television, and they couldn't do too strenuous exercise, and they didn't do anything, weren't they bored? Now, that she has become one of those women, she has found that her life is full, and she doesn't have enough time to study every day, and as long as she wants, she can live a busy and fulfilling life every day, and she can't think of boredom at all.
