Chapter 21 Qing Gao
The new chef's name is Qingfen, a round and chubby lump of kindness, and she cooks authentic Sichuan cuisine, but she is not good at making zongzi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the old lady is a talented woman from a scholarly family, and she is not very good at cooking, and the eldest lady Shen's cooking skills are much better, but she is lying on the bed, and the second wife Lin has already fired alone, so she will not interfere in the affairs of the old lady.
Ye Jinhui, in order to be able to eat delicious zongzi, had to cook it himself.
It's pitiful, she has only passed her fourth birthday not long ago, but the Great Song Dynasty has a custom that she will be a year older after her birthday.
Five-year-old Ye Jinhui has to stand on his feet to see the inside of the pot.
"Big girl, what to do, you just tell the slave maid." Qingfen said with a kind face.
I heard that the last cook's family stayed in the house for many years, but in the end they were driven away by the eldest girl, and she, a newcomer, would not be stupid enough to think about offending the eldest girl.
Ye Jinhui was not polite to her, but said, "Then you have to write down everything I said, and the dumpling leaves should be boiled in the broth first; Wash the rice quickly, use a basket to control drying, and try to get as little water as possible; In addition to pork belly, mushrooms, dried shrimps, and dried oysters should be used, otherwise they will not be fresh; Be sure to wrap it tightly and tie it with colorful threads, otherwise it will not be delicious; The stuffing should be marinated first, and the rice should be fried......"
After hearing this, Qingfen's face was full of admiration, "The eldest girl is really powerful, she is so young, she knows so much." ”
Ye Jinhui was a little proud, but very modest, "I watched the cooks at home do these things every year, and I listened to A-Niang several times before I remembered it." Anyway, Qingfen didn't dare to ask the Shen family to verify this matter.
The two chattered and were busy in the kitchen for two days, and the first batch of zongzi finally came out of the pot, so they specially picked up some first and gave them to the old lady to taste.
"It was delicious. You can pack some more and send them to your relatives. The old lady nodded in satisfaction.
It is indeed "very good" to be able to take it out and give it away.
"The Yao family just doesn't want to turn their faces at this time, the old lady is still dreaming, thinking that this family business can still be done, let's have their spring and autumn dreams!" The second wife, Lin Shi, said disdainfully to the henchman Yuxiu beside her.
As for the zongzi sent by Ye Jinhui, the second wife didn't even look at it, and directly told the maid: "I will reward you for eating!" ”
Lin's started with catering, in addition to Wufangzhai, the shop that married over is the most famous silver zongzi forest, every year to the end of the year, come to taste the zongzi guests are overcrowded, praise is not conscious, Lin will not eat Ye Jinhui seasoning, Qingfen hands on the zongzi.
However, with the case of the Tang family's mother-in-law and begging in the past, who in the Ye family dares to say that he is more faceless than the Tang family's mother-in-law? Mrs. Tang has been cured, so for these people, it's better to be safer.
Yuxiu thanked the reward, but didn't dare to take the zongzi from the hall.
Second Master Ye, who had just been reading hard until late at night, saw the rice dumplings on the table that were very delicately wrapped with colorful threads, and suddenly had an appetite, "Cook these rice dumplings." ”
Yuxiu's face suddenly lost its color, and she would have picked it up earlier, but now she was really embarrassed to die, so she had to tell the truth: "This zongzi is a filling made by the big girl, but I am afraid that it will not meet the appetite of the master." "The five-year-old doll is still making zongzi, isn't it laughing to death?
As soon as he heard that the zongzi was the stuffing made by the eldest girl, the second master smiled, "How old is she, if she can adjust the stuffing of zongzi, it must be made by a subordinate person, just to make a name for her." "If you really can't enter it, how can the old lady send it everywhere?
The second wife laughed when she saw that her husband insisted on eating, "The old lady specially sent it to Xin Dazhuang's family, and said that it tasted very good." "The second master has the most tricky taste, and his speech is straightforward, and the taste of this zongzi is the most suitable for him to evaluate." It's almost hot in the kitchen, and I'll give it to the master to taste. ”
Yuxiu had no choice but to send the zongzi to the kitchen, which made it hot.
Ye Er's taste is wonderful, and the zongzi is not big, so he ate all four zongzi in one go.
"This rice dumpling is well done." He praised.
Lin's face was not good at that time, "In previous years, I ate the zongzi of the silver zonglin forest, and I didn't see you praise half a sentence." ”
Second Master Ye said: "The zongzi of the silver zonglin is still a little worse than this. ”
The Lin family became more and more angry, but he thought in his heart that it must be Qingfen who had the secret skill of making zongzi. When I went to greet the old lady on the second day, I sent a girl named Yuzhi over, "It's all the daughter-in-law's, so the old lady has been wronged." ”
The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law have always been the old lady's heart disease, but the second son and daughter-in-law have always been harmonious, and the old lady is still willing to give the second daughter-in-law face, "Then pull the beggar to the moon girl, after all, Xiangzhi is only ten years old, and many places can't think of it." ”
The second lady thanked her gratefully, and asked Ye Jinhui again, "Now that your sister has two maids, why don't you give you one too, so as not to think that the old lady is partial." ”
Ye Jinhui would not go to the Lin family to install someone next to her for this little cheapness, and said with a smile: "Qiqiao is the second aunt's maid, and she is willing to give it to the second sister, if I think it's unfair, just ask my mother for someone." ”
The second wife's expression was as usual, "You made the zongzi yesterday?" It's a pity that it was all eaten by your second uncle alone, can you let your second aunt taste it too?
Eating a little, Ye Jinhui naturally would not be stingy, and instructed Gui Zhi: "There is still something to cook in the morning, you go and send it to the second aunt when it is hot." ”
The second wife tasted the zongzi.
The taste is sweet, oily and not greasy, the color is red and yellow, and the taste is very soft and glutinous. It is indeed much more delicious than the rice dumplings of the silver zongzi forest.
The second wife's mind naturally turned away, if the recipe of this zongzi is in hand, she will definitely have a way to make her zongzi shop into a century-old brand, not to mention for a talented man, even for two jinshi to come out.
The second lady went to the kitchen of the main courtyard with a strange excitement.
If she wanted her to go in with her front foot, Ye Jinhui went in with her back foot.
This kind of good thing, Mrs. Ye Er naturally didn't want Ye Jinhui to come to get a piece of the pie, she didn't say it, she didn't say it, she tried her best to get Ye Jinhui away but couldn't do it, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "Qingfen, are you willing to tell me the method of making zongzi?" I can pay for it, and I can even go so far as to move the old lady to let you take a stake. "It's just a cook, she is sure that the old lady must be rewarding Qingfen with a few small dollars.
Qingfen said very honestly: "It's all the eldest girl who told the slave, you can discuss this matter with the eldest girl." ”
Ye Jinhui said with a smile: "The formula and you can tell the second aunt that I don't have any money to spend when I'm young, so don't buy shares." ”
The second wife smiled like a flower, but said: "Little girls, they are all very high, and they don't like to talk about silver, but the second aunt can't lose you." ”
A look of stubbornness and refusal to take advantage.
Ye Jinhui was secretly amused, "I don't understand this, or the old lady will become a shareholder." ”
The second wife hated to bite Ye Jinhui and relieved her hatred in a few words.
This little fox!
If she refuses now, she will definitely be stabbed to the old lady by Ye Jinhui immediately, so it is better to spend some money to please the old lady.
