Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Uninvited Guest
Lin Yu made a lot of preparations for this meal, because he didn't have time on the day of moving, so he bought fresh vegetables and meat the day before. Fortunately, the weather is quite cold now, and I am not afraid that these things will break. After inviting everyone into the house and talking with her, she was ready to go to the kitchen to start construction, leaving Qingqing to talk to Dr. Lin and others, but Bai Feiruo followed Lin Yu to visit the kitchen with a curious face.
The kitchen and storage room of this house are four rooms, and there is also a cellar and wine cellar, and it seems that the original owner is still a good wine man, two of which store all kinds of grain, and the other room has some winter storage vegetables such as cabbage and radishes, and some dry goods such as seafood, mountain goods. The other largest one is the kitchen, which is paved with bluestone brick floors and cleaned. There are four large tables on the middle wall, and there are new pots and new kitchen utensils hanging on the wall, and there are four large stoves lined up against the right wall, and there are four charcoal stoves and large steamers on the left wall, and there is a water tank at each corner of the room, but only one has water in it.
Lin Yu had already planned what to do, which made her a little regretful, there were not many vegetables in ancient winters, and aquatic products were even more pitiful, and she probably couldn't make a few of the best dishes. And if there are only six people eating, because the main dish has been decided to be hot pot, the amount of other dishes must also be considered, and you can't open your arms to show your skills. But what makes her a little depressed is the ancient kitchen knife, which is really not easy to use.
However, what is more interesting is that at this time, there are already peppers, sweet potatoes and tomatoes, and I don't know if it is a cow who has crossed over to bring the butterfly effect. However, in the end, the ancient materials are still relatively scarce, Lin Yu walked around all afternoon yesterday, and only saw cabbage, radish, lotus root and mushrooms, and only bought some dry goods.
But this is not difficult for Lin Yu, her father often said that a chef who is picky about materials is not a good cook. Lin Yu thought of his father, his heart was sour and warm, and he quickly calmed down, took out a piece of pork from the basket, washed it in water, and was about to cut it, when he saw Bai Feiruo poking the kneaded dough with a curious face, completely like a child.
"Xiaobai, don't make trouble here, either accompany Dr. Lin to discuss medicine, or come to help."
"I haven't seen it." Bai Feiruo was a little unhappy when she saw Lin Yu, and looked at Lin Yu's chopping vegetables with a little grievance. "Why don't I chop vegetables for you? Actually, I'm pretty good at swordsmanship."
This kid's family background is better than he imagined, Lin Yu looked at him a little ill-willedly, "Okay, come and try to cut it, just cut it horizontally along the texture of the muscle, and try to be as thin and uniform as possible." ”
Then looking at Bai Feiruo's results, Lin Yu was dumbfounded, and muttered half-loudly, "What kind of cooking skills do you learn, it's better to learn martial arts directly." ”
"How? Not bad. "If Bai Fei pinched a piece of meat and proudly displayed it, if there was a tail, it would definitely go up to the sky." Don't underestimate people in the future. ”
I don't know if the knife work is naturally so good after learning the knife technique, or if Bai Feiruo's knife skills are really good, the thin to translucent pink meat slices are evenly arranged on the yellowish bamboo board, which is very beautiful.
"It's amazing." Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, looked at Bai Feiruo and smiled brightly, "Then there is mutton in the basket in the corner, let's cut it like this." ”
In this way, she will save trouble, because she has never been a serious cook, and her knife skills are only better than ordinary people, and there is no comparison with a good knife master. Unexpectedly, she was worried that the mutton would lose its smooth and tender taste if it was cut too thickly, so someone actively came up to help.
That piece of mutton is not like this one, but a big piece, five or six catties, so white that he couldn't help but wail, although he cut it well, it was made by his extraordinary wrist strength and control, and it still took some effort to be more serious than a serious knife master.
Lin Yu saw his embarrassed appearance, and it was not easy to tease him anymore, and said with a smile, "If you don't want to cut it, it's okay, go and help me get more water, and I'll use it later." ”
"Whoever says I don't cut it, I'll do it." Bai Feiruo shook his head and said with a smile, "You see how well I cut it, if it's as thick as you cut, I will have to eat such thick slices of meat when I eat hot pot myself." ”
My knife skills are not so bad, Lin Yu muttered to himself, but he also found an apron to put around Bai Feiruo, he is a guest today, wearing a silk dress with a blue background and white grass pattern. Lin Yu still can't help but clear the types of silk, but it looks like it's a very valuable silk, and it's not good to stain it.
Bai Feiruo cut up the slices of meat, and Lin Yu washed the pork bones he bought yesterday and the chicken bones that had just been removed, and threw them into a large pot with a piece of fatty pork belly, added water, covered and boiled broth. She plans to make a salt-and-pepper chicken fillet of the dismantled chicken, this kind of thing is still relatively fresh in ancient times, mainly because she is greedy, although she knows that the fried food is more rubbish, she still can't help but want to eat it. But now the dessert should be steamed first, Lin Yu prepared a red date crystal cake and a red bean milk bun, which are actually more common snacks, and they are not what she is best at.
She just put the red beans soaked yesterday into the pot and boiled them, Qingqing came in, Lin Yu was preparing to make cold dishes, and looked at her in surprise, "Why don't you go to accompany Aunt Lin and them?" ”
"It's all acquaintances, and it doesn't matter if you accompany it or not." Qingqing lowered her eyes, rolled up her sleeves, and walked to the stove to help Lin Yu light the fire, she couldn't cook, and she could only light the fire. "It's my negligence, I'll call someone to come tomorrow and buy a few people."
"Why do you say that all of a sudden?" Lin Yu said with a smile. "I'm not a big lady who doesn't touch Yang Chunshui with ten fingers right now, and besides, what's it like to cook by chance?"
"That's it." Qingqing said categorically, "It's not that you don't have money, so why bother yourself." ”
Lin Yu really wanted to tell Qingqing that this was a hobby, but thinking about it, she was indeed not a long-term person, although she was very talented in learning to cook, and her skills were indeed good, but her love for cooking was relatively limited, otherwise she would not not help in the restaurant at home. And some people care about themselves, why don't they appreciate it?
"Then you have to find a good stove."
Seeing that Lin Yu smiled and didn't object, Qingqing nodded and said, "It's about the same, and it's still space for the two of us to live in this house, so it's safer to have more people." ”
While the two were talking, they saw the eldest lady of the Lin family suddenly appear at the door, "Qingqing, Xiaoyu, there is a guest." ”
"Hey, what guest?" Or is there a guest? All the social circles of Lin Yu and Qingqing before were in the Hou Mansion, so no one should come.
"Oh, a very beautiful girl." Aunt Lin seemed to be very excited, and even said with a gesture, "I thought I saw a fairy at first!" The country is still full of beauty and beauty, anyway, people can't take their eyes off it. ”
As soon as she said this, Lin Yu and Qingqing knew who Lu Dao was, such a beautiful person, Lin Yu had only seen one in his two lives, Mrs. Yin Susu, and Zhang Wuji's mother in the Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
