Chapter 15 Success
"What did you say?" Looking at Wu Wenxiu, who was sitting on the top, with an unbelievable expression, Ruchun only felt that her hands were shaking, she had never seen such an expression of this Mother Wu, although she usually didn't have a smiling face, but it was the first time she had seen such an angry look, as if she was going to eat someone. Qiu Xiang next to her twisted her arm, and she came back to her senses, and said again in a trembling voice:
"Winter, Sister Dongwen said that the old lady was very satisfied with this menu, and specially invited a mother-in-law from the small kitchen to bring her granddaughter to help, and Wisteria was the master."
"Cousin, how can this be? This wisteria didn't even come out of the door of the big kitchen, why did it become intimate with Winter Pattern, how could it be good to let the old lady say it was good if she came up with an idea? After saying that, he didn't care about anything else, and he raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes.
"Qiu Xiang, you take a box of dim sum from the second lady just now and give it to Ruchun."
Ruchun took the snack and didn't ease up until he went out, and for the first time he reviewed himself, whether he came to report the letter and reported the mistake.
It wasn't until Ruchun walked out of the courtyard that Wu Wenxiu spoke again, "No, you can't wait until Qiu Xiangbiao is good before begging the old lady." ”
"But, I'm afraid to beg for ...... now," Qiu Xiangniang put down her sleeves and said.
"Now beg, why do you use your brain." Facing Wu Wenxiu's contemptuous tone, Qiu Xiang could only secretly clench her fists.
"So, what are we going to do? Now this wisteria has taken the line of winter lines, and has won the affirmation of the old lady, if this dish is done again, then only Zirui will be able to enter the second lady to be a third-class, then what can I do with my autumn fragrance? Cousin, you promised me that I had been counting on you? Woohoo......"
"Shut up, it's not time to cry yet, it's not impossible. Just let her make this dish, whether it will be successful or not? ”
"That's right, cousin, why don't we make some use of our feet on that dish, so that the old lady will be disgusted with her, so that it will be ......."
"Idiot." Before Qiu Xiangniang finished speaking, Wu Wenxiu scolded her, "You are the wife of the prince who eats white rice, and now that girl doesn't even have to stretch out her hand to the people in the big kitchen, she sent someone from the small kitchen to cooperate, that's a good star, if there is an accident." If you find out about our heads, you don't have enough heads. ”
When Qiu Xiangniang heard this, she touched her neck with her hand and didn't make a sound.
"According to my cousin's meaning, how about now?" Qiu Xiang asked, raising her slender eyebrows.
"Let her toss, let's make two preparations, one is that she didn't succeed in this dish, let's still follow the original method, Qiu Xiang will go to Mama Wang's side, it's easy to remember you, don't break it." You also go to blow the wind with your daughter-in-law more, so that she and the second lady can make their words clear and get ahead of Zirui. ”
"Cheng, what about the second hand?" Qiu Xiangniang asked anxiously.
"The second hand is that she really succeeded, then let's do it......" The two of them came up to listen to Wu Wenxiu's arrangement, their faces turned pale, Qiu Xiang was fine, but Qiu Xiang Niang waved her hand vigorously,
"I can't help it, I can't help it, it's not just my head, it's all my family."
"Then you can watch your daughter stay in Zhuangzi for the rest of her life, and it's good to find a mud leg for her." Qiu Xiangniang hurriedly shut up when she heard this.
"Mother, just do what my cousin said, I will master the proportions, isn't there a few days left, I will practice a few more times, and I will not make mistakes."
"Hmph, at the age of Bai Sheng, it's not as transparent as your daughter. Okay, let's set it like this first, it all depends on how the flower banquet is the day after tomorrow, and then we'll take care of it."
Watching the two walk out of the yard, Wu Wenxiu stood at the door for a long time and didn't move, she had been sending people to keep an eye on Zirui and Yu Meiqing's movements, so as to deal with them in time, but she completely ignored the girl Wisteria, and then thought about the earrings last time, now it seems that Wisteria is by no means as honest as she looks on her face, it is her own carelessness.
Originally, it was a thing that had nothing to do with him, but it was only because of Yu Meiqing himself that he intervened, and now he can't stop it, let's see.
Wisteria was choosing vegetables in the vegetable garden managed by her mother at this time. Yu's mother followed behind with a worried look on her face, helping them carry the blue zi.
"Why are you so troubled, this head is so good, it's not all your credit if you do it well, it's all your sin if you do it badly."
"Godmother, don't worry, I know it in my heart" Wisteria put a handful of cabbage into the blue and said to Cai'er: "Okay, these are enough, let's go back and try to do it first." ”
Seeing her determined look, Yu's mother stopped talking. At this time, the big and small sons of the Ma Wu family also caught the fish, and each of them weighed three or four catties. When Wisteria was sick, Yu's mother often made this fish soup for her to drink, and the most common one was less thorny and more meaty.
Wisteria and Cai'er took the ingredients back to the big kitchen, and Ma Wujia had already poured out the innermost stove eye. Wisteria saw that the dried seafood soaked when he left, tofu, bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, etc., were all cut into small thin slices according to their own requirements. nodded at Mrs. Xia and signaled that she could start.
After the fish fillet passes through the water, the slices are as white as jade, the green vegetables are green and tender, and all kinds of seafood are also cut into small pieces and stacked in the sea bowl layer by layer, and finally the broth boiled by Yao's sister-in-law is poured on it. A burst of fresh fragrance came to the nose, and everyone in the kitchen picked up chopsticks to eat, saying that it was delicious. Wisteria took a piece of fish meat into his mouth, the taste was good, but it was old. Many of the people who thought about this banquet were elderly, and I was afraid that they would not have the same appetite. And because the dashi is made from chicken and bones, it looks greasy when poured on top. Since it was the last dish, it was really inappropriate to serve such a greasy soup dish.
Wisteria and Xia Pozi sat back in front of the stove and said their thoughts, and Xia Pozi also agreed.
"You're right, although this dish is a novelty, but it may not be able to have the effect that the old lady wants, let's try to add or subtract a few more."
In this way, several people got busy again, back and forth until the sky was completely dark, although each time it was better than the last, but it did not achieve the effect that Wisteria wanted. It wasn't until Mrs. Xia's granddaughter waved her hand again and again that she couldn't drink anymore that everyone stopped.
I can't make the final product today, but fortunately there is still one day. Xia Pozi also comforted her and said that the last match today tasted very good, and the fish was also tender, so it could be served if it didn't work.
After sending everyone away, Wisteria couldn't sleep in bed after washing. Ruchun pulled his shoes barefoot, and said while laying out his bed cover: "I don't have that diamond non-porcelain work, I think, Ming'er might as well drink a bowl of Broadway Spring directly to save trouble, so as not to embarrass you and burden us." ”
After listening to Ruchun's words, Wisteria sat up and frightened Ruchun. After half a ring, he lay down again, but his heart blossomed. That's right, why didn't I think of what kind of broth to use, it turned out that there were all kinds of seafood and fish in the bowl, as long as the water of Broadway Spring was drizzled, wouldn't it be refreshing?
The next day, as soon as Mrs. Xia arrived, Wisteria told her what she thought. Xia Pozi was also very happy, and several people began to prepare the materials again, and then directly poured boiling spring water. This time, in addition to the fish and a little firewood, the soup is really light and fragrant.
"If only the fish could be more tender." Xia Pozi said with a little regret.
"I have an idea." Cai'er interjected at this time, "My grandfather went up the mountain all the year round, and sometimes stayed in the mountain for more than a month, and he always sliced the meat directly from the small prey that he hunted, and ate it after walking in the boiling water, and my grandfather said that it was very tender." How about we not let this fish go over the water, but just put it on top, and when we go to the table, we take the spring water and pour it on it? ”
Wisteria once again despised herself, she had eaten so many shabu-shabu pots and sashimi in her previous life, why didn't she think of this method. So everyone started to do it again, after pouring the spring water, Xia Pozi took the lead to taste it, and the other three people looked at her, only to see Xia Pozi slowly say, "This is the most tender fish that the old woman has ever eaten", and Wisteria let out a long breath.
On the day of the feast, Liuhe Zhuangzi people came and went, and the garden was full of local women with status, a lively scene. One dish after another was served, attracting everyone's praise. When all the dishes were served, everyone had eaten almost enough.
Mama Wang, who was beside the old lady, walked out and said loudly: "The old lady of the Zhongguo Mansion thanks everyone for their love for Liuhe Zhuangzi for so many years, and today I have added a special soup, which is made from our Bailao spring water." ”
With just this sentence, the people sitting below whispered, and after a while, they saw the girls take out a wide bowl and put it in the middle of each table, and everyone stretched out their heads to see, the layers of stacks were extremely neat, red, yellow, green, and white, and the main thing was that there was a layer of transparent food on it. Didn't you mean soup? Why is there no water at all?
In the midst of everyone's confusion, another group of girls came in, one carrying a long-spouted teapot in his hand.
"Everyone, this pot is Bailao Spring water," Mama Wang said and motioned for the girls to pour the water in.
After everyone saw the water rush in, the crystal see-through ingredients on it rolled up, and the water overflowed layer by layer, and after a while, the fresh taste came to the nose. I stretched out my chopsticks and took a bite in a hurry, "It's fish, it's actually fish, oops, it's really delicious." ”
Everyone began to eat, full of praise, Mama Wang looked at everyone's satisfied expressions, and the hanging heart finally returned to its original place.
In the Evergreen Garden, the old lady also has such a dish on the dinner table today. On weekdays, the old lady is a vegetarian, but she has never objected to having meat on her table. Just like now, looking at everyone's love for this soup, the old lady couldn't be happier.
After eating, he called Winter Pattern in, "What's the name of the girl who came up with this dish?" ”
"Back to the old lady, it's called Wisteria." Winter Pattern replied with a smile.
"Well, it's a thoughtful girl, reward, all in the big kitchen will be rewarded, this girl will be rewarded. You also appreciate, hehe......"
Winter Pattern hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him. When Mama Wang saw that the old lady was happy, she quipped, "I went to the big kitchen with Dongwen to sit in the big kitchen for an afternoon, and I got a reward, but my wife passed a lot of words for you, and I didn't see the old lady reward me." ”
"Haha, reward, reward. Granddaughter-in-law, there is a reward today. ”
