Chapter 64: Be a Lady
"My girl, it's chaotic and hot here, where can you be here. Tell the nurse what you want to do or what you want, and the nurse will do it for you. A woman in an indigo dress stood at the kitchen door, bowing over anxiously to the girl in front of her.
The girl was only five or six years old, and she still wore a bun on her head, and the two buns on the top of her head were tied in a bow pattern with pink ribbons, and the long ribbons hung down on both sides of her cheeks.
The girl's skin is smooth and fair, with a healthy flush.
The lips are red and red, the temperature in the kitchen is very high, and beads of sweat are slightly on the nose.
The most outstanding of the girl's facial features are her eyes, which are large and bright, and the black pupils occupy most of the eyeballs.
The girl pursed her mouth slightly when she heard the words that the nurse had to say in her ear a dozen times a day.
"The nurse can't do it for me, I don't run around here, just watch, and don't do anything, it'll be fine."
What else does the girl have to say when she sees the nurse?
"You go and see if A-Niang's plums are pickled."
"Girl, the nurse didn't say anything, so let the nurse accompany the girl. Don't dare to let the girl be here alone, the plums from the second lady have been sent over yesterday. Granny Qian really stopped nagging, and took out a fan from somewhere and gently fanned it.
Ning Xin was satisfied that the nurse finally stopped nagging her, and she didn't know why all these years, the nurse seemed to have changed her personality, and she whispered in her ear every day.
It's too dangerous to do this, it's not safe to do that, what should the girl do to tell the nurse, and the slave to do it.
Is it menopause? The average life expectancy of people here is short, so menopause is early?
But the rich nurse seems to be younger than A-Niang, and the menopause is too.
Ning Xin thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of the reason why the nurse Tang Seng possessed her body, so she only hummed and coped with it every time.
"Girl, this is according to the method you said, the slave tried to make it, you see if it will work."
Seeing Ning Xin walk into the kitchen, a sturdy servant woman in her thirties was holding a small celadon bowl with a yellowish powdery substance.
"Well, yes, it's a lot of work to be able to do this." Ning Xin said with satisfaction with the contents of this small bowl.
"The slave maid is to do what the girl teaches, and she usually can't be coarse. This time, I lived up to the girl's trust, and it was a great blessing to let the girl see it. Ning Xin could smell the smell of the servant woman in front of her, which was unique to the kitchen.
The kitchen was always smoky, and the smell of oil smoke from the servants seemed to have melted into their skin, and no matter how much they washed, they couldn't get rid of it.
"The locust tree family hurry up and do something, what are you doing with so much nonsense." Seeing that what she said was becoming more and more unreasonable, Granny Qian interrupted her to chatter.
"Yes, that's cooking." The nurse around the girl is not comparable to those servants who cook in the kitchen, and the difference can be seen by the neatness of the clothes and the material of the clothes.
"Did you say that you want to leave a piece of lean meat connected to the big chop under the vermilion backbone?" Ning Xin looked around at the ingredients in the kitchen and asked.
"Stay, girl, take a look at this piece. And the green onions, the biggest green onions are here. ”
Ning Xin took a closer look, and there was still a big difference between the biggest green onion and the green onion she wanted.
I can only get this Cheng dù thing here, so let's do it by piece. Ning Xin's heart is not very bottom.
"Wash the meat and slice it and shred it." Ning Xin commanded.
Although the cook looks like five big and three thick, the knife work is really not bad.
Wow, the shredded meat that Ning Xin wanted soon appeared under the knife.
This chef is the best in the small kitchen, otherwise Ning Xin would come to the kitchen to "cook", and she would not be served by her side. This is an opportunity to show their faces, how many cooks have been busy in the kitchen all their lives, and the master has never seen them.
Ning Xin was coming to the kitchen this time, and the entire small kitchen shook.
The ingredients that Ning Xin wanted, they had already said hello in the big kitchen, and they booked them first.
The starch that had just been served, Ning Xin just said a rough idea, and she herself was not clear about the meticulous procedures of each step.
The Huaishu family pondered for two days, and they didn't know how much corn they grinded with a stone mill before they made the Cheng dù that Ning Xin wanted.
Of course, these will not be sued by the master, as long as the master can be satisfied and the results are made, the process is not important.
"Put the shredded meat in a bowl, and add the wine, salt, egg whites, and corn flour."
"Grasp the shredded meat with your hands so that the corn flour adheres evenly to the shredded meat."
The Huaishu family did every step according to what Ning Xin said, and Ning Xin saw that the shredded meat was basically handled.
"Put a little oil, raw oil, and stir well in the shredded meat."
There is no refrigerator here, otherwise putting it in the refrigerator to freeze it will not only make the meat non-stick, but also make the taste tender.
"This meat is now sitting on for a while to marinate and taste good."
Ning Xin pointed to the green onion and said.
"As long as the green onion is white and cut into shreds, the white onion is the white part of the green onion stem." Ning Xin explained.
"Slice the ginger and pat it slightly." Ning Xin pointed to her back and motioned for her to slap Jiang with the back of her knife.
At this time, the people in the small kitchen watched with great interest as Ning Xin commanded the cooking.
Granny Qian was very surprised, when did the girl learn to cook!
She used to come to the kitchen to recognize the dishes, which would command decently. The most important thing is that she has never heard of any of the practices she said. Ning Xin didn't know the questions that rose in the hearts of the bystanders.
As a foodie, Ning Xin still has a long history of understanding food.
Although she hates smoke and fire, she loves food.
If you let her cook, it is estimated that she will not even be able to grasp the heat, let alone this skilled knife worker.
She has some theoretical knowledge, and she is a scum in practice.
In the era of information explosion, she will go back and search for any tutorials when she eats something delicious. After studying it by herself and knowing how to do it, she was not interested.
In the five years she has been here, Ning Xin has a general understanding of the world.
The ingredients here are relatively abundant, and the level of cooking is really known as our big foodie country.
Steaming, cooking and barbecue have appeared, and the taste that can be made is really ordinary.
This is still in the Anguo Mansion, where the level of food cooked is much higher than the average of the Great Chen Dynasty.
Most of them are chopped and chopped, put in a pot with a little salt, and cook them before eating.
Because of her age, Ning Xin can only eat foods that are not palatable and have a huge room for improvement.
She is still a child, so she can't run to the kitchen and tell the cook, you don't do well in this dish, what should you do, just talk about it.
That's definitely not a surprise, it's a scare!
No matter how smart the child is, he doesn't have such a smart method, and it is estimated that he will have to find someone to cast a spell to exorcise ghosts or something.
This time, she just said that she would try to do it, but she didn't dare to pack a ticket for the specific results.
Climbing trees or something has long been soaked in Wei Ya's tears, and she doesn't dare to mention it anymore.
Improving food, cooking, and loving food is what a lady should do.
During this time, I still want to be a quiet lady.
