Chapter 699: Sweet and Delicious
Bai Ko learned the news in the kitchen, made a few quick snacks for people to send over, and asked them where they planned to eat at noon by the way.
Wei Qian firmly said that he was here to improve his food, and seeing that he was resting today but only came over after breakfast at home, Bai Qiao decided to make a few good dishes at noon to comfort him.
The kitchen was busy step by step, and there were guests in the camp again, and a carriage went directly to the outside of the kitchen, and it turned out to be Shao Xinwei, Miss Shao Wu, Wei Qian's fiancΓ©e.
"Bai Ko, long time no see."
"Miss Shao Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time, sitting in the restaurant, why do you have time to come here today?"
"I beg you something."
"Fifth Miss, don't say that, it's a torment."
"You haven't been to the big camp today, have you? The people who ate your three sets of geese last night are still boasting about it, so you deserve to ask for a word. β
"So Miss Fifth wants to come to learn to cook?"
"You know I'm engaged now, and I want to join the Pomegranate Club."
"Fifth Miss can ask for the wrong person, the president of the Pomegranate Club is Princess Chengjun, and the vice president is Miss Tong Mingli, if you want to join the club, just say it to Miss Tong."
"Didn't the girls of the Pomegranate Club cause a storm a few days ago, and now they are all grounded by their families, and they are not allowed to come out and walk around again before returning to the capital."
"How tightly restrained?"
"Alas, who told them to provoke the county lord of the Yu Wang family, and blame them for their own carelessness, did not restrain their subordinates, those servants are specially with the outing, one of the criteria for selection is to be cautious and careful to control the mouth, you see, obviously someone forgot the rules, but so far no one has admitted that it is their mouth leaking, but I am afraid that when they return to the capital, their subordinates will be cleaned."
"There is always a price to be paid for doing something wrong, the masters have collectively taken responsibility, so they naturally have to settle accounts with the people below, even if some of them are wronged, there is no way, this is a matter of one person making a mistake and affecting a group of people."
"Yes, so those girls are grounded now, even if I go and tell Tong Mingli now that I want to join the club, it won't be interesting, it's better to come to you."
Bai Ko scratched her chin thoughtfully, looked at Shao Xinwei and smiled ambiguously, laughing so much that Miss Shao Wu didn't dare to look back.
"Why are you smiling like that?"
"Young Master Wei Qian only came on the front foot, and you arrived on the back foot, hmm, how about a reasonable association?"
"Don't, I'm ashamed."
"Well, well, no more nonsense, what do you want to learn? Dim sum or vegetable? β
"I can't stay here for long, just learn a snack."
"If you can stay for a long time, you actually want to cook your own meal, right?" Bai Ko squeezed her eyes mischievously, and Shao Xinwei's girl couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
"Oops!" Shao Xinwei was so amused by Bai Ko that she covered her face with her hands and stomped her feet again and again, "Why didn't I find out that you were so good at telling jokes before." β
"Because being idle is also idle."
"If you tease me again, I will complain to Gu Shizi."
At this time, it was Bai Ko's turn to smile, and Shao Xinwei immediately reacted when she saw her like this, and it was useless to complain.
"You just rely on Gu Shizi to spoil you, but you deserve it, don't laugh anymore."
"I'm not smiling, Miss Five, what do you want to learn, you can say it, it's good to prepare the materials."
"Wei Qian said that the city defense camp practiced very hard every day, and their muscles were sore every day, in the first half of the year, Gu Shizi and they played a polo match, and in the final finals, did you make any special snacks to make them persist until the end when they were so tired?"
"Well, that's the one, in fact, it's very simple, mainly fruits, vegetables and beans, and by the way, I ate all the sweet potatoes in the cellar, I think the food in the city defense camp is nothing more than these."
"What about J duckfish R? Don't eat it? β
"Eat, of course, those are the foods that maintain muscle strength, and they are also important, but eating those just after training will increase fatigue. In other words, Young Master Wei Qian only goes home once a month in the city defense camp now, Fifth Miss, you just want to care about his diet, but you can't do it, does he have a new transfer? β
Shao Xinwei glanced at Bai Ko in surprise and laughed again.
"If you're smart, just guess and you'll be right."
"Oh? Promoted? After all, Young Master Wei Qian has a reputation for martial arts, and he will not always be a low-level soldier. β
"Well, the promotion to centurion after the year has not yet been announced, but it has been decided, the reason is the same as what you said, he has the fame of martial arts, starting from the bottom of the soldier is just to familiarize him with the military environment, and when the time is ripe, he will be promoted."
"Oops, congratulations."
"Congratulations on what I've done, it's not my happy event."
"Then I'll go over and say congratulations now?"
"Don't." Shao Xinwei was afraid that Bai Ko would really leave, so she hurriedly grabbed her, "It's not too early, teach me to make dim sum." β
"What do you want to learn? Sweet or salty? Steamed, fried, baked, fried? β
"Wei Qian, he likes to eat red bean soup, and he thinks that it is embarrassing for a man to eat sweets."
"It's normal, he is a martial artist, his future is to be an officer, to be brave and strategic, to use his brain for strategy, and if he uses too much brainpower, he will want to eat sweets, this is completely a normal law of the human body, nothing to be embarrassed about."
"But what he likes to eat is very sweet, with brown sugar."
"Isn't it the kind of sweet soup that red beans have to be boiled out of sand, brown sugar, and glutinous rice dumplings?"
"You know that, too?"
"I'll know when you say that." Bai Ko rubbed his hands, "Fifth Miss, you are really coincidental, we soaked red beans last night and used them to make bean paste today, and we just took a little bit out to cook this sweet soup and gave a bowl to each person in the tent, how about it?" The red beans are ready-made, and it doesn't take too much time to knead the glutinous rice dumplings, so it's good to do it in two quarters of an hour now. β
"Okay." Shao Xinwei stood up excitedly, "I'll make glutinous rice dumplings." β
"Then I'll cook red bean soup. Let's go wash our hands first. β
Bai Xin took Shao Xinwei to wash her hands, and at the same time instructed the cooks to prepare the ingredients to be used, and then Shao Xinwei used warm water and glutinous rice flour in the restaurant, and Bai Xin cooked red bean soup in front of the stove.
Fortunately, the red beans are ready-made, so this sweet soup did not take much time to complete, and the soup is also very beautiful after adding brown sugar, exuding a rich aroma of brown sugar, in fact, it is also possible to put white sugar or rock sugar, each with its own flavor.
After the sweet soup was cooked, it was put into a food box, and Bai Ko took Shao Xinwei to the tent.
The palace chief's tent was lively, and a group of big boys were talking jokes that made people laugh without hesitation.
Bai Ko made a notification through the door curtain, and took Shao Xinwei in, and the chef who followed up with a few food boxes behind him divided a bowl of sweet soup into each person.
