Chapter 57: The Manchu and Han Banquets (2)

"You don't have to worry, I won't let you lose your job. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

In her previous life, her grandparents lived in the countryside, and every time she had a holiday, she would go back to the countryside to visit them and help them cook by the way.

Therefore, this kind of thing is just a small thing for her.

"That'...... I'll leave it to Miss Gu! ”

The old woman turned around three times in one step, and seemed to be a little uneasy, Gu Xiao was amused in her heart.

She looked at all the ingredients and found that there were all kinds of vegetables and meat, but no beef.

"It seems that cattle can't be killed in this era!"

Killing cattle? Hong Ling and Hong Luo were so frightened that they couldn't say a word.

"Gu ...... Miss Gu, you can't talk nonsense about killing cattle! It's going to be beheaded! ”

Gu Xiao was taken aback, "It's so serious?" ”

It seems that this is also a dynasty that values agriculture and suppresses business!

"That's right! So Miss Gu, I can't say this again in the future! ”

Gu Xiao nodded, "Oh! ”

Alas! Her braised beef! It seems that there is no hope for it.

"You guys help break the vegetables first, and I'll brush the pot."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind blowing by, and when she looked back, she found that a small guy quickly put water into the pot and quickly brushed the pot.

Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say it, just leave the rest to me?" ”

The little guy smiled innocently, "Just leave such a small thing to us!" ”

Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows, went back to cut the meat, and was just about to pick up the knife, but a pair of hands were faster than her, and they directly picked it up and stood in front of the board.

Gu Xiao's eyes widened, and she was angry and funny in her heart.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and take a break. ”

Someone spoke at the right time, "Miss Gu, you are responsible for cooking the dishes, just leave the problem of handling the ingredients to us!" ”

Gu Xiao thought about it for a while, and also felt that it made sense, maybe the division of labor and cooperation would be faster.

"That'...... Let's do it! ”

She told them what they needed, and she went back to the pot.

The division of labor and cooperation of a group of people was really fast, but in a while, everyone had already prepared the ingredients that Gu Xiao needed.

In the end, Gu Xiao left only Hong Ling and Hong Luo, one watching the fire, the other delivering the vegetables, and the rest of the people watched not far away.

Everyone who was a little worried at the beginning calmed down after seeing Gu Xiao's cooking action like a cloud.

Gu Xiao made thirty dishes before and after, fifteen southern dishes, and fifteen northern dishes, and when everyone was stunned, she also dripped a few drops of spiritual spring into the dishes.

She divided each dish into two portions, one for the Red Nighthawks and one for the main hall.

Thinking that they were all her own people, she was not stingy, and almost every dish dripped into the spiritual spring.

By the time the dishes were finished, almost an hour had passed.

"It smells so good!" Someone closed his eyes in intoxication.

Hong Luo and Hong Ling couldn't help but sigh, they couldn't imagine that Miss Gu's cooking skills were so good!

"Miss Gu is a good craft, can you teach me how these dishes are cooked?"

"Uncle is the cook of the Wind Courtyard?"

Gu Xiao looked at the middle-aged man with an expectant look on his face and asked out loud.

The middle-aged man nodded, "Exactly!" ”

Gu Xiao tapped his chin with the fingers of his right hand, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll write you all the steps to cook later." ”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, "Really? ”

Gu Xiao frowned, "Do I look like someone who can deceive people?" ”

She's often liared to people, yes, but those are white lies.

Even if he was given a recipe, he probably wouldn't be able to make this taste, who let him not have the killer feature of Lingquan?

When the man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, no, how could Miss Gu deceive people!" ”

Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Okay, come on, let's help bring the dishes over!" ”

――

"What smells so good?"

The old lady who had just stepped through the door couldn't help but look around.

But I saw a small guy walking by with a food box in front of me.

Seeing that the old lady was puzzled, Mama Zhao called out to the person in front of her, "Wait, what's in that box?" ”

The little maid at the end turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was the old lady coming, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"I've seen the old lady!"

"No need to be polite, tell me quickly, what is in this, why is it so fragrant?"

She had always been not very picky about eating, but when she smelled the contents of this box, she only felt hungry.

"Old lady Hui, this is a dish cooked by Miss Gu herself, and the slave is about to send it to the eldest son!"

The old lady was surprised, "Oh? Did that girl do it? ”

Mama Zhao exclaimed, "Unexpectedly, Miss Gu's cooking skills are so exquisite, just smelling this old slave already makes people can't wait to eat!" ”

"Hmm!" The old lady nodded with satisfaction, thinking that her grandson would have someone by her side in the future, and her heart was a little more relieved.

"Let's go inside!"

The little servant bowed again, and only after the old lady had passed by did he follow them with the food box.

When the eldest lady saw that it was an old lady, she hurriedly got up and stepped forward with a smile, "The old lady is here!" ”

"Old body, please say hello to the princess and princess!"

Linglong and Xiao Chen got up at the same time, and helped the old lady up one left and one right, "The old lady doesn't have to be polite. ”

The old lady nodded with a smile, everyone got up and saluted the old lady one after another, and Gu Xiao was naturally no exception.

When the old lady took her seat, everyone took their seats one after another.

The old lady looked at the table full of dishes, looked at Gu Xiao and smiled kindly: "I didn't expect you little girl to have such skills, the old body has a good mouth today!" ”

Gu Xiao smiled modestly, "Where, if the old lady likes it, Gu Xiao will often do it for you in the future." ”

"Princess, princess, let's try it first!"

Knowing that the two of them don't put down the chopsticks, the rest of the people don't dare to put down the chopsticks.

Xiao Chen's chopsticks were the first to move, he picked up a piece of eight-treasure duck and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Everyone looked at him expectantly, as if they wanted to see something in his expression.

"Hmmm! Delicious, delicious! Let's try it, everyone. ”

After a long time, he gave Gu Xiao a thumbs up.

When everyone heard this, they all got off their chopsticks, and after tasting it, they all praised it one after another.

Gu Xiao smiled when she heard this, and accepted everyone's praise with peace of mind.

As the public knows, if there is no spiritual spring, the dishes she makes will be at most comparable to the cooks in the house.

"This is the best dish I've ever eaten over the years!"

Everyone didn't care about asking the name of the dish, and they all picked up chopsticks to pick up the dishes.

The corners of Gu Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, she thought, if it weren't for the fact that these people still had that reserve in their bones, I was afraid that those dishes would have been swept away a long time ago.

"This shrimp is really good!"

Linglong picked up a piece of hibiscus prawn, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, and nodded.

"Since eating Miss Gu's dish, this king feels that the imperial chef in the palace is nothing more than that."

Xiao Chen swallowed the food in his mouth and gave Gu Xiao a thumbs up.

Luo Fei, who was suspicious of Gu Xiao at the beginning, didn't say a word at this time, just buried his head in hard work.

The eldest lady nodded and joked: "I knew that Xiaoxiao's cooking skills were so good, and I didn't have to worry about thinking about changing the old lady's recipe!" ”

The old lady has been very picky lately because of her illness, and when she sees those dishes, she doesn't say it's too greasy, but it is too light, and she feels unappetizing about what she eats.

"Old lady, try this dried roasted winter bamboo shoots."

Gu Xiao got up and used clean chopsticks to clip some winter bamboo shoots for the old lady.

The old lady picked up some and put them in her mouth, nodding again and again, "It's very crispy!" Everyone also tastes it. ”

Everyone, you chopsticks and I chopsticks, and soon, there were only discs left on the table.
