Chapter 216: Tea
After Jin Yi walked out, Yun Hui actually felt a sense of loss in her heart, thinking back that she was in the house just now, and she was not as annoyed as she was when she saw her in the past, but it made people have a kind of idea of wanting to get close to her, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart: "It seems that she has learned these methods of serving people in Shangxiu Hall exquisitely, and she is not angry when she pours tea and water." ”
Thinking that Jin Yi was going to make tea for herself and cook it herself, she couldn't help but laugh happily.
She walked around the courtyard, and the housekeepers had dispersed, and looked towards the kitchen, and saw Fandel come out of it, holding two jars in her hand, and walking to the storeroom where the tonic was kept.
Yunhui beckoned to her, and Fan Dai hurriedly walked over, "County Lord, the sun is quite big this time, don't stand underground here, be careful of the sun." ”
"What's in your hand?" Yun Hui asked, glancing at the jar in her hand.
"The princess said that she wanted to use Qianfeng tea, as well as peach blossom dew, and the slave maid opened the warehouse."
Yun Hui pursed her lips and muttered, "I don't like to eat Qianfeng tea." ”
Fan Dai whispered: "The princess doesn't know what to cook inside, she found a lot of things, and it smells fragrant, do you want to go in and take a look?" ”
Yun Hui glanced at her, turned around and went back to the house, how could the pickled and greasy place in the kitchen be casually entered.
Sitting in the house, she felt a little bored, she asked Cui Hua to send Aunt Lan to take Ming'er to the front of the house to play early this morning, so as not to Jinyi was there, Ming'er stuck to her and didn't say anything, and it was not easy for her to do things.
After a while, Jin Yi walked in, with an eight-treasure bright silver teapot in the tray in his hand, and Fan Dai followed behind with a food box.
Put a few silk red agate plates on a few cases, osmanthus autumn pear milk cake, honey mung bean cake, chicken shredded spring rolls, and the last plate contains a few pieces of green and translucent pastries, made into lotus shapes, crystal clear, and gently tremble as the plate is put down, like the slim lotus flowers in the pond are swaying and dancing lightly by the wind.
Jin Yi sat down opposite, poured out half a light pink tea soup from the silver kettle, and handed it to Yun Hui, "The county lord tastes Qian Fenglu, see if it suits your taste?" ”
Qianfeng tea is made of raw pu, the taste is bitter, if you do not add brown sugar when boiling, it will be bitter and difficult to swallow, so although the tea has a strong taste, Yunhui does not like it.
"I don't eat maple tea." Yun Huihu glanced at it suspiciously, and after smelling it, she felt that the tea was fragrant, with a hint of sweet fragrance on the tip of her nose, but it was not the greasy sweetness of brown sugar, with the crisp aroma of peach blossoms.
I couldn't help but take a sip, my eyes narrowed, I sighed in my mouth, and drank a big sip.
The tea soup is slightly warm, but the entrance feels a cool from the tip of the tongue to the throat, the taste is layered, the fragrance of tea, the sweetness of peach blossoms, and the slightest sweet and sour, instantly diffuse in the mouth.
Rao is that she has eaten all the delicacies since she was a child, and she can't help but say: "This taste is strange." ”
Jin Yi smiled lightly and pushed the plate of lotus-shaped pastry closer, "This is lotus root powder mint cake, made with fresh mint juice, and it is best used with Qian maple dew." ”
Yun Hui didn't hesitate anymore, and took a bite of a lifelike green lotus flower, which was really sweet and glutinous, and the mint flavor was not strong, which blended with the coolness of the previous Qian Fenglu, and felt more fresh and refreshing.
She swallowed all the countless words of admiration in her mouth, and just ate and drank without saying a word, but her eyebrows and eyes were very happy, these pastries except for lotus root flour and mint cake, she also often ate others, but the taste was a hundred times better than those on weekdays.
Suddenly, he felt that his movements were a little anxious, put down his chopsticks, drank all the Qianfeng dew in the cup, and beckoned Jin Yi and said, "It's really hard for you, you can eat some of these pastries." ”
Jin Yi refilled the Qian Feng Dew for her, poured some for herself, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's good to meet the taste of the county lord." I heard that the county lord loves fish, I just looked in the small kitchen, and there is a new four-cheek perch sent today, and I will make fish belly for you to taste later. ”
Yunhui rarely eats fish in Beisai, and there are few bitter cold rivers in Beisai, and the fish are full of fat and fat, and they taste very greasy, so after coming back, the cook cooks fish to eat every day, and there is almost no fish and no joy.
"The last time I went to the palace to see the emperor, he gave me a cook who is very good at cooking fish, I want to try your skills, can you still be stronger than the imperial chef?" Yun Hui took a sip of Qian Feng Dew and said with a smile.
Jin Yi pursed her lips and chuckled, but she didn't say anything.
Shang Xiu Tang has been built in Huayin Mountain more than 100 years ago, and several generations have painstakingly studied the five female official skills, knitting and embroidery, flower and tree cultivation, jewelry making skills are extremely exquisite, and there are a large number of ancient medicinal dishes and recipes that have been lost to the outside world.
When I first arrived at Shang Xiu Tang, because Uncle Cheng did it properly, Jin Yi first learned to cook meals as soon as he entered, and the environment of Shang Shan Bureau was much stronger than that of the other four places, at least there was no shortage of food, she and Qiao Wei first started from burning the fire to choose vegetables, identifying ingredients, and in less than half a year, because Jin Yi was clever and diligent and unforgettable, the first seat of Shang Shan Bureau personally instructed, regardless of knife skills, carving and other basic skills, or red and white cases, wine-making sauce have learned solidly.
In the past two or three years, even Qiaowei, who was watching from the side, has also learned exquisite cooking skills, and the dim sum dishes she makes are much better than those of ordinary chefs in the house. Jin Yi later learned the art of botanism and medicine, and integrated the two into cooking, which was even more blue, and his cooking skills faintly surpassed the first seat of the Shangshan Bureau of the year.
If she had been just an orphan girl, she would have simply stayed in the church, and in a few years, a seat in the first seat would still be available. But her mind is not on top of this, she spends a lot more time on medicine than learning cooking and planting arts, and after returning to Beijing, she didn't spend too much time cooking medicinal food for her grandmother, but today she is a little more energetic, in order to please Yun Hui, just a few pastries and a pot of tea, she has been coaxed into a smile.
Jin Yi accompanied Yun Hui to talk, discussing some clothing colors, embroidery techniques, and how to adjust rouge and fragrance dew, and Yun Hui's eyebrows danced with great joy.
When it was time to arrive, Jin Yi went to the small kitchen to cook. Yunhui sat in the room for a while, only to feel that she was chatting in every way, and when she arrived in the yard, she found that the kitchen was very lively, and even Mama Sui was inside.
Yunhui walked over, stood outside the door and looked in, only to see Jinyi wearing a plain blue silk scarf on her head, a cloth of the same color in front of her placket, and her sleeves were tied on her forearm with her arm.
When Mama Sui saw Yunhui coming, she hurriedly said: "County Lord, there is a big smell here, you can tell the slaves and maids to do something." (To be continued.) )
