Chapter 68: The Murder in the Castle (1)
If you want to get their attention, you must have a good look. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Chu Yu's first thought was sweet and sour tenderloin and dumplings, the first of these two is unique in taste, and the second has strong oriental characteristics.
As a makeup artist, my mother is very busy every day, she often eats alone, and learns to cook a lot of dishes for her stomach. When she grew up, she took care of the kitchen at home, and her mother loved to eat what she cooked.
Early in the morning, Chu Yu saw the busy scene of the maids, they were packing up and preparing breakfast, and when they saw Chu Yu coming to the kitchen, they all said good morning to her.
Chu Yu responded politely, she also changed into a maid's clothes today, her black hair matches this black maid outfit, plus she is delicate and petite, everyone else thinks she looks cute like this.
Even the cook saw her, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes. This girl from the East really has a kind of magic.
Chu Yu sat and struggled for today's food intake, sweet and sour tenderloin, well, the cook said that there was a lot of chicken. Dumplings, as for this dumpling, Chu Yu encountered a little trouble. There are very few fine noodles here, and the chefs don't take them out much. Chef Jenif didn't want to waste her treasures for this Oriental girl who didn't like her.
The cook disagreed, and Chu Yu had to find another way.
Seeing the mushrooms picked in the early morning, Chu Yu suddenly remembered a soup that tasted very delicious, and the method was very simple.
One morning, Chu Yu found all the ingredients he was looking for in the kitchen, and also met the servants in the kitchen.
Lucy, Chrissy, and Ann. They were all girls in their twenties, and Ann was the youngest of them, only 16 years old.
There are also two handsome and handsome male servants, Karen and Pol.
With the addition of the cook, there were only six people in the kitchen, which would have been more than enough to cope with the few hosts in the castle, but it would not be enough to have a banquet, and this banquet would be the grandest banquet Mrs. Jackson had ever held.
In the evening, the butler and Karen prepared food for everyone at the table. These 20 or so dishes are made by several newcomers, and the newcomers' stay will also be determined by their evaluation.
The people in the kitchen were not qualified to enter the main dining room, so Chu Yu would not be able to see this gorgeous scene.
On the rectangular table, on the clean tablecloth is a delicate and beautiful candlestick, the silent flame of the candle illuminates the darkness, the glass container contains green plants to add a lot of color to the table, and on the side of the table, porcelain plates, knives and forks, and goblets with red wine are waiting for its owner to taste.
The youngest daughter, Vivien, and her aunt, Natasha, were the first to arrive at the table, and they were talking about some funny news that had just come from the city's nobles, and both of them had a relaxed look on their faces.
Vivian was a very beautiful girl, with a very bumpy figure under the long skirt with a cinched waist, and she was also the favorite daughter of the Jacksons.
In the story that Chu Yu heard, the Jacksons had three daughters and no sons, and the two daughters had already married, and they were both very well married, and the men were all nobles in the city. Hearing this, Chu Yu could clearly feel the envy of several maids, maybe their biggest goal in this life was to marry themselves.
Vivien is about to usher in her eighteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony, and the Jacksons plan to hold a very grand banquet for her, inviting powerful people from all over the country, not only to give their daughter a long face, but they also hope that her daughter will choose a person of interest at this banquet, and the castle and their property will also be used as a dowry, so Vivian's dowry is very rich.
Chu Yu felt that where had he heard such a story, but there was no suitable heir in a wealthy family, which was the most likely to cause property disputes. She felt that Vivien's dowry would definitely attract a lot of people to covet it, and this should be the main object and thing she observed next.
Aunt Natasha was a young married lady, and her husband had finally taken a vacation, so they chose to spend a holiday in this picturesque castle and attend a lavish banquet.
Mrs. Jackson appeared with the old lady in her arms, and they were all dressed very formally and in good spirits.
They sat down, and the head of the house, Mr. Jackson, appeared. He is a middle-aged uncle, with a neat suit, meticulous combed hair, and a very rigorous look.
Natasha's husband didn't show up, he had an emergency that he had to deal with, but he would be back tomorrow.
"Madame, I have heard that the dishes for this evening are made by the new servants, and I hope they will make them ready, for I am more accustomed to Mrs. Jenif's dishes. Mr. Jackson said.
"Mr. Jackson, you have to believe my vision, their food will not be unpalatable, and by the way, there will be a secret tonight, which may surprise everyone. Mrs. Jackson first gave her husband a sly look, and then sold a pass. Regarding Chu Yu's arrival, in order to surprise her relatives, she did not allow the servants to speak out. This afternoon, she deliberately went to the kitchen to look at Chu Yu, and when she saw the dishes made by Chu Yu, she was very satisfied.
The sweet and sour tenderloin has a sweet and sour flavor that makes people whet their appetite, and coupled with their bright and bright appearance, she believes that not many people can refuse. There was also mushroom and egg soup, which tasted so delicious when asked, she didn't taste it, and wanted to wait until it was served to reveal the mystery, and now she couldn't wait.
The butler and Karen brought one dish after another, starting with ten. The two of them divided these dishes one by one into the host's plate, and among these ten dishes, there was Chu Yu's sweet and sour tenderloin.
Wei Wei'an was first attracted by the golden piece of meat, and she tasted it, and the sweet and sour taste made her appetite soar. She said happily to Mrs. Jackson, "Mom, this dish is very good, it suits my taste, and I want to keep this person." He will definitely make a lot of delicious food for me in the future. ”
Mrs. Jackson looked at her sweet and sour tenderloin, and then a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Your luck is good, this is the oriental dish made by that girl from the East, and I will try it too." Mrs. Jackson picked up a piece of tenderloin with a fork and slowly put it in her mouth and tasted it.
Aunt Natasha asked curiously, "Is it really that delicious?"
Vivien nodded approvingly, and Natasha couldn't control her curiosity and tasted it, and she immediately showed an expression of enjoyment.
"It's delicious, it's the first time I've ever eaten food like this, it's not only novel but also delicious, oriental food is amazing. ”
The old lady and the head of the family also tried it one after another, and they all smiled after eating, and under the sweet and sour tenderloin carefully made by Chu Yu, the other dishes lost their color.
Everyone else cooks home-cooked dishes and some big dishes, these dishes have been eaten by the Jackson family more or less, and this time they lose their freshness, and some are not as delicious as the ones they have eaten, and in an instant, Chu Yu has been recognized by everyone.
