Chapter 11 Three visits to the thatched house invite Liu Gong
11. Please ask Liu Gong for three visits to the thatched house
I have to say that the efficiency of Qianfan, Xiaoyu, and Da Zhuang is very high. www.biquge.info In addition to Tian Dazhuang himself, he recruited five more grooms from twenty-six No. 30 families, only one needed to learn, and in addition, there were five young men from other families who were also willing to become grooms. Tian Dazhuang handed over the bamboo slip roster to Sun Yao, and Sun Yao handed it to Qianfan casually.
"In the future, Qianfan will be my housekeeper, he is still young, you have to help him more."
"Yes, miss."
"Qianfan, pick one of these four to follow me, and then pick a carriage for me."
"Miss, this Tian Liang is Uncle Tian's youngest son, he is under the tutelage of Uncle Tian, he is only twenty years old, but he is also stable, so let him follow Miss. As for the carriage, naturally choose the best one. ”
"Yes."
"I can't help it, miss, Tian Liang is still too young, the road in Xiliang is tortuous, I'm afraid he can't control it."
"Okay, I believe in Qianfan's vision. Besides, Tian Liang is your son, you should give him a chance to hone his skills. ”
"Yes, miss."
Lin Xiaoyu also handed over a bamboo slip, and she handed it to Qianfan directly, which made Sun Yao very satisfied, this Lin Xiaoyu can be regarded as a talent.
"Miss, Xiaoyu didn't know how many waiters he needed, so he only picked six, three men and three women, all of whom were twenty-eight years old, and they looked good."
"That's very good, you can pick two clever points in the past, a man and a woman."
"Then Zhou Duanwu and Yang Ruyu."
Sun Yao thought she would say Dragon Boat Festival and Niuniu.
"Then they are. Qianfan, what is the situation of the workers? ”
"Miss Hui, there are thirty people available, just the farm, they are all willing to help, no accident, after three months, they will definitely be able to move in."
"That's good, don't forget to pay them, and the materials should be good."
"Qianfan knows."
"Then you all go back first."
Sun Yao decided to get Liu Gong done first, and then she could go to Fengguan Tower, and start the first business in her life.
Sun Yao took Dongling and soon arrived at Liu Gong's house.
Sun Yao personally knocked on the door, and after a short time, Liu Gong's wife opened the door.
"Sister-in-law, is Gong Liu here?"
"Miss, don't dare to be, the husband is not here, Miss should please go back."
"It's okay, I'll just wait here."
"Then Miss, please come in first, the house is shabby, please forgive Miss."
"Sister-in-law is polite, I'm afraid the place where Sun Yao lives is not as good as here."
"Miss is polite, please take a seat, I'll make tea."
"There's a sister-in-law."
Liu Gong's wife smiled, and after a while, a pot of green tea was placed in front of Sun Yao, and a cup was poured.
"This tea is very good."
"It's good that Miss doesn't dislike it."
"Sister-in-law is so polite, thank you sister-in-law. I heard that Liu Gong always goes out early in the morning, I don't know if it's true or not? ”
"Pretty much, actually, I'm quite worried."
"What did my sister-in-law say?"
"It's just that the husband complained twice, saying that his eyebrows were dizzy."
"Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much."
"Thank you, I'm going to get busy first, and I'm not with you."
"Sister-in-law walks slowly."
About an hour later, the sun was already in the west, but Liu Gong had not come back, Dongling was in a hurry, Sun Yao was just unhurried, looking at a dense poplar tree in the yard, a few birds singing happily, full of interest.
About half an hour later, Dongling couldn't bear it anymore after all.
"Miss, this Liu Gong is too hateful."
"Dongling, Hugh is talking nonsense, Liu Gong should have something to delay."
"Miss, you've been waiting here for nearly two hours, and it's getting late."
Sun Yao didn't say anything, but Duke Liu's wife walked out.
"Miss, why don't you have dinner here in the evening?"
"Don't bother my sister-in-law, I wonder if my sister-in-law has ever heard the story of the thatched house?"
"Miss said that I am just a vulgar woman, and I have never heard of it."
"I'd love to tell my sister-in-law about this story."
Then, Sun Yao briefly told the story of Liu Bei's visit to the thatched house, and then said goodbye and went home.
After Sun Yao had dinner, she called Rong Ma, Dongling and Qianfan over.
"I wonder what happened to the Chef Championship a year ago?"
The three of them looked at each other, but Qian Fan replied.
"Miss, the Chef God Contest is mainly a competition between the chefs of the major restaurants in Daming Town, there were more than 30 people participating in the competition, and the final entry was Liu Gong of our Fengguan Building, Guan Gong of Baoyue Building, and Zhang Gong of the VIP Building. The final question was given by Feng Taishou, who asked the three of them to make a dish with home-cooked tofu, and then the ten beggars decided who would make the best one. ”
"This Feng Taishou is really unconventional enough."
"Indeed, at that time, Zhang Gong's dish was called Guifei Chicken, which was to integrate hen meat into tofu, which is said to be extremely tender; The dish made by Liu Gong is called Babao Tofu Soup, which is full of color and flavor; Guan Gong simply made a dish of cabbage tofu. Surprisingly, the beggars agreed that Guan Gong's cabbage and tofu were the most beautiful food they had ever eaten. ”
"Eaters, when people-oriented, different from person to person, Liu Gong and Zhang Gong are not wronged. It's just a competition, how can it have such a big impact on the business of the restaurant? ”
"It's really nothing, who knows that Liu Gong and Zhang Gong are not convinced, which makes Taishou very angry, it is Taishou's words that make Liu Gong and Zhang Gong embarrassed and disappear, and the two restaurants have no suitable chefs, so they naturally decline."
"What did he say?"
He said that really delicious food has nothing to do with utensils, ingredients, raw materials, and cooking methods, but that care and love for diners is the necessities of a cuisine.
Sun Yao nodded, thoughtful.
"Looks like it's enough for me to look at the thatched cottage."
On the second day, Sun Yao got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen in a hurry.
"Miss, why are you so early today?"
"Mom Rong, lend me the kitchen!"
Sun Yao knocked on the door of Duke Liu's house again, and Dongling carried a basket in the back.
When Mrs. Liu opened the door, she was a little surprised when she saw that it was Sun Yao.
"Liu Gongke?"
"The husband has already gone out." Mrs. Liu smiled embarrassedly.
"But went fishing?"
"How do you know?"
Sun Yao smiled but didn't answer, saluted and left, and walked not far, but it was Tian Liang who was waiting there in a carriage, which was naturally Sun Yao's entrustment to Qianfan yesterday.
"Tian Liang, go to the river."
Sun Yao saw Liu Gong sitting by the river fishing from a distance, she got out of the carriage and took the basket in Dongling's hand.
"You're waiting for me here."
"Liu Gong, in ancient times, there was a story called Jiang Taigong fishing, I heard that it was the wisher who took the bait, I don't know what kind of fishing method you have for this fish."
"Naturally, it is also the wisher who takes the bait."
"Are you still satisfied with the fish that caught the bait?"
"Satisfaction or dissatisfaction is all up to me."
"Gong Liu, I have pumpkin porridge and a pumpkin pie here, what do you think?"
Sun Yao put down the basket and took out a worn-out plate and a notched bowl, which contained a pumpkin pie and half a bowl of pumpkin porridge.
Liu Gong glanced at it casually, his face was as usual.
"It's just a normal meal."
"No, the utensils I use are shabby, the accessories are just ordinary water and flour, the pumpkin is just planted by Rong Ma in the spring, it is not precious, and it is far from the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and this cake and this porridge are all made by me, I basically have never cooked any food, but under the guidance of Rong Ma, I just do what I can. In this way, it can be seen that the quality of the meal has nothing to do with utensils, auxiliary materials, and cooking. Can Liu Gong agree? ”
Liu Gong's complexion changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
"I heard my sister-in-law say that Liu Gong often skips breakfast and comes to fish when he is hungry, and Liu Gong has sudden dizziness, and the little girl is not talented, and she happens to know the original symptoms of the disease, but it is just low blood sugar, just eat on time. Pumpkin is sweet, which is suitable for Liu Gong, but you can't eat too much, one porridge and one cake are enough. Am I thinking that I have injected my concern for Liu Gong into this piece of food? ”
"What is hypoglycemia?"
"It's just a disease, it's not serious, Liu Gong doesn't have to care, just eat on time. Liu Gong doesn't want to taste it? Sun Yao asked, pointing to the food she brought.
"Really delicious food has nothing to do with utensils, ingredients, ingredients, or cooking methods, but care and love for diners is what makes a meal a necessity. I kind of got it, hahaha. ”
"Then Liu Gong is still satisfied with the fish he caught today?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied!"
"That's good, then I won't bother Liu Gong fishing. Tomorrow afternoon, please Liu Gong go with me to Fengguan Tower. ”
"Good. The old man will play with your little doll. ”
"Thank you Liu Gong, I am sure that you will not be disappointed."
Liu Gong will naturally not be disappointed, but Sun Yao is also a veritable foodie, and he also has a little understanding of some food practices in later generations. According to Sun Yao's understanding, although this era is particular about eating, it is not as diverse and complete as later generations. At that time, Sun Yao said that he thought of a new type of dish, and he took Liu Gong to develop it together, believing that with Liu Gong's craftsmanship, the taste should be no worse.
Thinking like this, he walked to the side of the carriage.
"Tian Liang, you prepare, tomorrow at noon, we will go to Fengguan Tower."
"Yes, miss."
"Miss, you still have a way, you can get that old man so quickly."
"Respect Liu Gong in the future, he is our cash cow."
Oops, speak your heart. But anyway, I'm in a good mood today.
On the second day, Qianfan and Rong's mother took Rhubarb to live in the empty house of Tian Dazhuang's family, and Sun Yao's new home officially began construction, and Sun Yao also took Liu Gong, Dongling, Xiaoyu, Dragon Boat Festival and Ruyu to the Fengguan Tower in the town.
"Qianfan, you go to Fengguan Tower every seven days, I need you for something."
"Yes, miss."
Sun Yao is planning to train Qianfan well, there are many things, she can't do it herself, she can only find someone she trusts, Qianfan will definitely be a good housekeeper. Let Qianfan go every seven days to check the accounts of Fengguan Tower. Sun Yao left three hundred taels of silver for Qianfan and Rong's mother, she only has seven hundred taels left, and the money for household items is also in it, and there is not much that can really be used.
The carriage left, Sun Yao glanced at Que Mountain, full of hope for the future.
