Faced with Master's problem, Lu Ying felt that it couldn't be easier, "What's so difficult to know the taste of Lu Dao Pingguogong?" Invite the county lord to try it, won't you know the way? ”

But Yu Sansheng glanced at her, "Duchess Pingguo said that the county lord came to the capital, and he can't remember the smell anymore." ”

How so? Lu Ying frowned slightly, she had also heard of the deeds of this beggar county lord, but no matter what, her own father was sick, how could she have such a reason to push and ignore it?

But the housework of these dignitaries and nobles is not something that they can worry about as cooks, so they can only think about how to solve it.

The master and apprentice were worried, and Yu Sansheng suddenly thought of a way, "Do you know where there are people who make tofu in Lu Dao?" Why don't you buy one and give it a try? ”

Bean curd? I've heard it say. By the way, it's the sister surnamed Mu! Lu Ying remembered that Nianfu once said that her family was the ancestor who made tofu. She even made crystal rolls, maybe the tofu would be better? Do you want to invite her......

No!

Lu Ying suddenly aroused a competitive spirit, and with her cooking skills, why did she have to ask for help?

"Master, I think Ping Guogong used to eat folk things, naturally not as fine as the imperial dining room, or we don't do it so meticulously, just use folk practices to make a bowl of ordinary tofu flowers, what do you think?"

"It's—that's a way to do it, too." However, after Yu Sansheng nodded, he glanced at the apprentice again in surprise, "You usually say that you don't get tired of eating, and you never have such an idea, why is it that you know that the way is flexible today?" ”

Lu Ying choked, and then he was shocked. Unconsciously listened to Sister Mu'er's words in his heart. Food should not only be shared with a few, but also for many more.

Ordinary deliciousness, should also be made delicious.

Then this bowl of "ordinary" tofu flowers will be prepared by her.

When Ouyang Kang went home from the banquet, he saw Wangcai squatting at the kitchen door dutifully, playing with his little paws and big furry tail. Seeing him come back, he turned his head to look, whined twice, said hello, and then continued to scratch his neck with his hind paws. There is no intention of moving away. Take a look at this momentum. Ouyang Kang knew that someone must be busy in the kitchen again.

He went to the window and smiled and asked, "What are you busy with?" ”

"Ignore me, I'm not available!" Nian Fu continued to tinker with her new sauce without looking back, trying to remember what ingredients Lu Ying used in the soup.

Of course. She doesn't plagiarize. Besides, she can't afford abalone or anything. I bought some cheap shrimp chicken racks and tried to cook them to taste the same delicious.

"You don't have time to pay attention to me, do you have time to open your mouth and taste this?" Ouyang Kang took out two pieces of osmanthus cake wrapped in a clean handkerchief from his sleeve. Ahem, he was embarrassed to pick up the osmanthus flowers of the Pingguo Mansion, but he ended up with two cakes.

The people in Pingguo Mansion are not very good, but the osmanthus cake in Pingguo Mansion is really good. Since it is a good thing, of course, it must be shared with Mu Xiaochu. Maybe she could do better?

Ouyang Dashao's little abacus is getting better and better, but Nianfu replied to him with an impatient big eye, "Don't you see that people are busy?" What a mess! Hey, it smells so good. ”

The food itself is the greatest persuasiveness, and when Nianfu's nose smells the aroma of osmanthus cake, his impatient expression turns over like a book.

Ahh

"It's not promising!" It's contemptible. Ouyang Dashao glared at Wangcai, but looked at the person who also turned his face like a book and said proudly, "Fragrant, right?" Try it quickly, it tastes good. I heard that it is made by pickling osmanthus and spices that have been stored for three years. ”

Nianfu took a piece of cake, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes, spices?" How did I not think of it? ”

Quickly took a bite of the osmanthus cake and tasted it in his mouth, "Well, it's really good." There should be a lot of stuff in it, but what are they put in? ”

This Ouyang Kang didn't know what to do, and broke off a small piece of another piece of osmanthus cake and fed it to the little guy who had no interest at his feet, and the other half still handed it to Nianfu, "Leave it to you and study it slowly." ”

Nian Fu responded unceremoniously, unceremoniously accepted the cake, twisted a small piece down, and pondered carefully. Seeing her smell all kinds of spices at home, and smell the cake again, while tasting the taste and thinking about it seriously, Ouyang Kang smiled, didn't bother, and went to busy with his business.

Since there was Zhong Shan, there was no silver money and a lot of housework trivial things that annoyed Ouyang Dashao, instead of a clear housework report and sorted out the silver money accounts, it was much easier to deal with. After finishing the housework after a while, Ouyang Kang was about to ask Zhong Shan to come over to discuss a few things, and Zhong Shan came up by himself.

"The young master has already read the accounts, right? Do you have time to take a look at the tidy-up living room? ”

People with eyes can use it to worry, Ouyang Kang happily agreed, and went downstairs with him.

But seeing that the house had been sorted out on a large scale before, Nianfu proposed to hang the curtains, but in that case, the problem of lighting was not easy to solve, in order to take into account the beauty and practicality, Zhong Shan went to buy a batch of bamboo curtains. Bamboo curtains are heavier than cloth curtains, so they can block the wind when they are lowered, and let in the light when they are rolled up.

Moreover, bamboo curtains are cheaper than cloth curtains, and some plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemums are drawn on them, and the tone of the literati in the whole room immediately rises. Then while the weather is not too cold, transplant some bamboo, pines and cypresses from the garden and other winter flowers and trees, repair the pruning and scissors to arrange, and then decorate some colorful chrysanthemums, the overall feeling is very good.

Ouyang Kang was very satisfied, but Zhong Shan still had regrets, "It's no problem to eat here, but it stands to reason that a few more rooms should be prepared for guests to change clothes and rest, but I asked the craftsman, no matter how to save, those bedding furnishings can't be saved, and they may have to be put aside for the time being." ”

Ouyang Kang thought of the thousand taels left by his sister, hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is still some money at home......

Unexpectedly, Zhong Shan smiled a little slyly, "Actually, the young master doesn't have to worry about being inconsiderate, and it may not be beneficial to let the guests see the shabby spots." After all, the young master lives alone away from home, and he does it too well, which makes people gossip. Besides, if you go back and accept the guests' gifts, and then tidy up the guest rooms, let the guests come back and look at them, you will praise your benevolence. ”

Belch...... Well, Ouyang Kang learned another trick of belly black. "What's the problem?"

Zhong Shan stopped laughing this time, and took out a menu from his sleeve, "That's it, there are still some problems." ”

This is the messenger in charge of Nianfu, what is the problem?

After listening to Zhong Shan's explanation, Ouyang Kang was silent. silently put the menu into his sleeve, motioned him to get busy, and went to Nianfu.

It happened that the new sauce that Nianfu tried to test came out of the pot, poured it on the rice noodles that had just come out of the cage, and handed Ouyang Kang a copy, Nianfu asked a little worriedly, "How is it?" ”

Hmm, Ouyang Kang nodded, "Not bad." ”

"And how do you feel like it?"

Well, Ouyang Kang thought for a long time, "It seems to be a little fresher." ”

"So what's the difference?"

Well, Ouyang Kang can't eat.

"Waste!" Nian Fu rolled his eyes angrily, and his heart couldn't help but be a little deflated.

She had eaten Lu Ying's rice noodles, so she naturally knew that there was still a big gap between what she made and her, but what was the difference? She couldn't eat it herself. Do you have to use those precious ingredients to stew the most delicious flavor?

Nianfu felt quite frustrated and unhappy.

It's really bad to be inferior to others, especially when you open a plug-in and can't compare to a local girl, this feeling is really frustrating. Even Wangcai turned his belly over to sell cuteness, but he couldn't let Nianfu lift his spirits.

Looking at her appearance, Ouyang Kang couldn't take out the menu hidden in his sleeve no matter what. But if you don't say it, the treat will be a few days away, what can you do then?

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Still Nianfu saw that he had something to say, and took the initiative to ask.

Ouyang Kang couldn't, so he had to take out the menu and tell her embarrassedly, "Zhong Shan said, we may have to ask a cook to come over and help." ”

Although the dishes prepared by Nianfu were quite distinctive, Zhong Shan also told Ouyang Kang honestly and unceremoniously that they were not of high grade.

Although it can be flattering to people, if you really want to hold a banquet, it is not something that Nianfu, a chef with half a bottle of vinegar, can accomplish.

To take the simplest example, it is not enough to chop a cooked chicken into pieces and put it out on a flower plate, let alone those dishes that require knife work. Maybe these things are useless, but if you don't use them, they don't reflect the grade. Although Ouyang Kang is not rich, the guests invited are all seen in the world, so it is not easy to get a table of scallion pancakes to send away the guests, right?

After eating the food cooked by Nianfu for so long, Ouyang Kang certainly knew what level she was. There is no problem with home-cooked food, and there is no problem with innovation, but it is really not professional enough in terms of appearance. But Ouyang Kang felt that the problem was not her, his sister Mu was not a professional cook, why did she ask so much?

Therefore, Ouyang Kang went through several twists and turns, and only then did he tactfully point out the problem with her, "...... The main reason is that I am afraid that Mr. will pick and choose, otherwise I will Yaozu those people, where will it be their turn to be picky? ”

I thought that Nianfu would be unhappy when she heard this, but she didn't expect her to just respond with a sneer, and said reasonably, "Actually, I originally wanted to say this, but I forgot about it all of a sudden, so you write a post and ask Zhong Shan to go to Hongxing Building to ask Chef Song to send an apprentice to help." We've dealt with each other, and he'll give this face. Oh, that's right! ”

Speaking of Hongxing Building, Nian Fu suddenly remembered that when he tried to roast prawns that day, there was a little beggar who was particularly good at tasting the taste, if he was found to try this sauce for himself, would it be okay?

Nianfu instantly became a hundred times more energetic, "You don't need to send someone, I'll go to Master Song myself!" ”

"Hey, I'm going to eat soon, it's not too late to go when I'm done eating."

Can't wait! Nianfu didn't even have time to untie his apron, put his finger in his mouth and whistled, Zixiao ran out. (To be continued......)
