The simpler the thing, the more difficult it is to make it brilliant. The most difficult thing about egg drop soup is 'egg drop), which should be tender but not scattered, condensed but not hard, and form beautiful egg flowers, which is the best grade.

Although I don't know much about going to the kitchen, I still know how to make egg drop soup. Xia Xiaodong immediately commanded Yao Niangzi, stir-fried ginger and garlic in the oil pot, heated water, added tender tofu, shredded fungus, shredded cabbage, shredded meat seasoning, and finally beat the eggs, put them in the pot, wait for the egg flowers to float, and add some green onions, and it was almost the same.

"Oh, by the way, is there any pepper? Sprinkle with a little pepper. "Xia Xiaodong prefers to add pepper to soup.

"......" Yao Niangzi blinked and didn't speak.

"......" Xia Xiaodong also blinked, hasn't pepper been on the market yet?

"That ......" Yao Niangzi finally spoke up, "Do you have to add it?" ”

Looks like there is still one. Xia Xiaodong said: "Is there any way to add this?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, if you want to use special ingredients, you have to get it from the Kong lady over there." Mrs. Yao pointed to a woman who resembled a lady in charge.

"Pepper is a special ingredient?" This is not ginseng, deer antler velvet, cordyceps, reishi, abalone, bird's nest, foie gras, matsutake mushrooms and the like. Xia Xiaodong was very puzzled.

Yao Niangzi was even more puzzled: "Of course, pepper and pepper are all shipped from the Hu people, one or two peppers and one or two gold, which is expensive." ”

Isn't it just a pepper? It's still expensive?!

"Okay, okay, then you don't need to." Xia Xiaodong was too lazy to bother, waved his hand and was about to give up this Dongdong, but a girl suddenly came over next to him and said with a smile: "Sister Xia wants to use this?" I just took it and want to return it, if you want to use it, you should be fine. ”

Xia Xiaodong turned his head to look, but it was a group of Qiu girls from his etiquette training. Although this girl's surname is Qiu, her temperament is not bitter and hateful at all, but a little bit arrogant.

The bottle of pepper was quite exquisite, Xia Xiaodong glanced at it in Miss Qiu's hand, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I'm going to use pepper, here one by one, if you want to grind it into powder again, the green onions in the pot will be overdone, forget it, thank you." ”

Miss Qiu nodded when she heard this, and then handed over the bottle to another cook beside her, and when she saw that Xia Xiaodong was also cooked, she said, "Why don't we go out together?" ”

Well, of course it's good to have someone with you.

Imagine guarding a pot of egg drop soup and serving a bowl if someone is willing to taste it. Xia Xiaodong felt that he should be able to sell wine a little bit, which was quite fun.

In fact, she thought too much about it.

After all, most of the show girls are boudoir girls with doppelgangers, and it is already very good to be able to show up and let the children of the clan look at each other, and they don't have to do it themselves at all.

There were a series of more than a dozen long tables outside, and the show girls only sat at the side and back of the tables, and as for providing services for the children of the clan who passed by, they had their own cooks to help—that is, the one who did it before.

Yao Niangzi first served Xia Xiaodong with half a bowl, which is also the proper meaning.

Drinking the hot egg drop soup, Xia Xiaodong figured out the reason for this, and when it came to it, it was still a safety issue.

Everything that is imported must be cautious and cautious. Because of the habits handed down during the Taizu period, such a conventional draft method has been formed, but the emphasis on food safety cannot be abandoned.

So the fewer people involved, the better - the hands-on zuò and the hands-on distribution are both the same cook.

And the show girl who is responsible for such food has to be the first to taste it, in fact, there is a hidden meaning of testing drugs.

Xia Xiaodong was very happy that he had figured out one thing. And then...... He smiled and watched that he got the first 'bead'.

Because someone drank a bowl of soup.

On the corner in front of the long table, there is a celadon deep-mouthed saucer, but about three inches in size, Xia Xiaodong thought it was used for decoration or decoration.

It wasn't until he saw a crystal round pearl that was thrown into it, and the bones were spinning in the saucer, that Xia Xiaodong thought that this saucer was used for 'throwing pearls'.

If you look closely at the pearl, it is quite good, the size of a little finger belly, and it is a light pink. When I looked up, I saw a handsome young man, looking over, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose - I don't know if he was nervous or drinking hot soup.

"......" Xia Xiaodong's blind date experience cannot be said to be less, but at this time, I really don't know what to do. She didn't prepare a 'love token' like a Jinpa purse at all, and even if she had it, she didn't prepare it for others.

Fortunately, Yao Niangzi is very experienced, and at a glance, she already knew that Miss Xia had no intention of giving back, so she quickly brought out another bowl of egg drop soup.

The gesture apparently had some sort of agreed-upon meaning, and the boy looked at him again in disappointment, and then left.

Xia Xiaodong just sat with his eyes down, secretly regretting it, he really didn't care too much about this matter, and he didn't think about it carefully. It should be done less, just get a bowl or two.

Thinking of 'one bowl', Xia Xiaodong glanced at the delicate small bowl used by Yao Niangzi, and then glanced at the remaining half of the pot of soup, and could only secretly hope that the thirsty person would come over quickly and finish drinking.

In the end, this small pot, in Xia Xiaodong's opinion, at most three or four bowls of egg drop soup, was filled with sixteen bowls by Yao Niangzi, and twelve pearls of all sizes were obtained.

Looking at the small clay pot at the bottom, Xia Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, and Yao Niangzi sighed, and invited the grandmother next to her to come over to witness, count the empty bowls stacked together, and count the pearls in the plate, and recorded it in the registration book.

The twelve pearls are added by Xia Xiaodong and Yao Niangzi to make five, one and a half. This is a good way to ensure the enthusiasm of the cook from beginning to end.

No wonder Yao Niangzi sighed, she must have regretted that there was less water at the beginning, and secondly, she also regretted that the bowl was still too big.

Finally finished something, Xia Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sun in the sky, and didn't have much time, listening to the bursts of cheers not far away, the polo match was not over yet, and he didn't feel a smile on his face.

Turning her head to look at the side, Miss Qiu's face was not very good. She also made soup, hot and sour soup, and now she has seen the bottom, but she only received two pearls, and even the cook over there looked ugly.

As the polo match draws to a close, there are more and more show girls in the peony gallery, and the target is naturally the players who come over after the polo match.

Xia Xiaodong greeted Miss Qiu, and the two left together, not seeing Qiao Qiao'er passing by.

Qiao Qiao'er kept looking at Xia Xiaodong, but there was no fluctuation in her eyes, as if this person had nothing to do with her.

After walking for a while, Qiao Qiao'er found that she was still holding a bare plum branch in her hand, so she threw the plum branch on the ground, looking like a frozen red snake.
