Chapter 436: Official Food Trial
The kitchen is available and of high quality. The next thing to do is to officially try the dishes. The recipes of the dishes brought back by the three princes are not ordinary, some of them are not available in the Qing Dynasty, and some are similar to those of the Qing Dynasty. Even people can't just give you the recipe, and the recipes on the cooking books bought from foreign countries have hundreds of thousands of recipes. You can do what you want, and you can do what you want. There are also color pictures that intuitively tell people the effect of the dish after it is plated.
The eldest sister said that she should focus on vegetarian dishes, and the set of "Vegetarian Dishes" that Yun'er gave to Fujin is a set of two books, with a total of more than 8,000 cases. What restaurant has 8,000 kinds of dishes? For example, toon tofu, stir-fried soybean sprouts, fragrant dried tofu, fried potato strips with mushrooms, ground three fresh, braised chestnuts, steamed white jade bergamot, green pepper tofu puff, sweet and sour bitter gourd, fried shredded potatoes, etc., etc. They are all home-cooked dishes, simple, easy to make, and in line with the economic conditions of the public.
The number of meat dishes is much more than that of vegetarian dishes, not the number of thousands, but tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. The food culture of the Chinese nation is also broad and profound, and the special foods of various styles and regions are already strange, exquisite, popular, home-cooked, side dishes, and dim sum.
Fu Jin did not become complacent because of the many recipes in his hand, but found out the dishes suitable for all classes of the Qing Dynasty and began to try them, without any mess. Every day, I have to write down the recipes of the four dishes and the silver required for the ingredients to be used in cooking, and let Master Xu personally buy the ingredients. There were no pigs, only ducks for ornamentation, leftover chickens, two cats catching mice, and a few janitor dogs. Raised goldfish are also ornamental and cannot be eaten. It is because the prince is a Buddhist monk and does not kill. Therefore, if Master Xu and his wife make meat dishes, they have to buy their own ingredients, and they have their own green vegetables. The prince didn't ask everyone to follow his vegetarian diet.
Fu Jin's food tasting is not staring at Master Xu in the kitchen, in that case, they should be nervous, and they will definitely not be able to do it well. It was Mama Liu who was busy with them here, and Mama Liu was quite interested in cooking. When Master Xu finished the dish, Mama Liu tasted it, and then gave it to Fujin.
Since it is a food trial, it may not be successful at one time, it may fail, the taste, the appearance, the taste of Fujin is still not low. She said that it was almost hot, or salty or light, then try again, Master Xu was not only not a little dissatisfied, but also very happy. It's more reliable to remember it a few more times, isn't it? Fu Jin also showed a lot of patience with Master Xu's two bites of food. I didn't reprimand them for not doing it once.
In addition to the task of tasting dishes, Fujin also has the task of designing costumes. In contrast, Fu Jin is more interested in clothing than food. Cooking is for the prince to eat smoothly, be in good health, and make clothes belong to her woman's instincts and hobbies. The clothes Fu Jin wore were all designed by herself, and several companions around her made them. There are also tailors in the house to do it, and there are embroiderers to embroider. The clothes worn by Fu Jin are the most popular in the palace, and Yun Er understands this very well. There is content in his mission to help Fujin, but Yun'er doesn't want to steal the limelight from Fujin. The costume design is mainly based on Fujin, supplemented by oneself. Yun'er always thought that Fujin was very hard to try food, so she didn't mention the matter of clothing design, as if she was urging Fujin.
But Yun'er can use other methods to get Fujin to do the clothing design, so many fabrics, if they are processed into ready-to-wear clothes, the price will increase a lot. The women of the Qing Dynasty, especially the commoners, rarely bought ready-made clothes to wear, and made them themselves. But if there is a very good new kind of clothing, then there will be people who don't care about the price, and women are more interested in wearing it than eating.
"Oh sister, what good things have you brought again? Show it to my sister. ”
"This is a stretch fabric from the exotic side, which is a kind of fabric with elasticity. If you look at this sample, it's made of elastic cloth. Yun'er wore one on her body, she felt very comfortable, and brought you a few pieces of fabric, and left it if you liked. ”
"Like! These are shorts, right? How does it seem small? Do you wear it on the body and do not panic? ”
"Bule. It's because it's tight, it's not good if it's too loose, and you have to look a little smaller and put it on to fit closely. These pants are new, so stay if you're not taboo. ”
"What's the taboo about being so new inside and out? Tell my sister, what is the word for this elastic cloth? ”
"It's just that don't tighten it when cutting, as soon as it is tightened, the size will be smaller. Try it first, and you'll have something new to show you when you come back. It's time for Yun'er to deliver milk and retire. ”
"It's so tiring to be like a windmill every day."
"Don't get tired, don't get tired, you stay."
"Wow! The fabric that Master Yun sent to you is so beautiful! It would be a pity to use such a fabric for the trousers. "I feel so sorry for that tender yellow fabric. How did she know that the fabric was taken out of the woven bag?
"Yes, this piece of fabric can be used to make a gown." Mama Liu was also a little reluctant.
"Master Yun asked me to make pants, what's the matter if I make a gown?"
"When did you obey Master Yun's command so much? I'm sorry, but that's not what the slave meant. "I feel that I don't have a brain today, and Master Yun is talking about brain damage.
"Am I listening to the command of the cloud master? Master Yun knows the performance of exotic fabrics better than us, and besides, if this kind of fabric is used as clothes, it will be too colorful, and it is not suitable for any of us to wear it. It is suitable for making trousers. It's slippery to the touch, soft, and not thin, so let's make one first. ”
Say do it, compare the sample according to the measurement, draw the line with the drawing stone, and cut it with scissors. The mustache was so distressed that she didn't dare to look at it.
"Fujin, can the slave do it for you? You are a person with status. Mama Zheng said cautiously.
"Okay, then work hard Sister Zheng, do it according to this sample. There are also two pockets on top, which is nice to look at. Let's do it, I'm going to read the book of cooking. ”
"Feel free to do whatever you want, and the slave will go to the east room to do it."
Not to mention, Mama Zheng is very happy to do things, and she did it in the afternoon. He took it and showed it to Fu Jin, frowned and said, "Today's eyes are choked by the wild geese, look at it, they are all twitching." The fabric felt so good in my hand that I pulled it out as soon as I sewed it. I have done needlework for so many years to make this virtue. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to feel guilty. I wonder if it's because the fabric is elastic and you tighten the fabric? Or are you pulling the line tight? ”
"That's right, thanks to your reminder, the slave will do it after it is dismantled."
Mama Zheng really dismantled it and did it again, this time it was okay, so she said to Fujin: "This will go to the slave maid, anyway, you still have this kind of fabric, and the slave maid will make it for you again." ”
Fu Jin threw the rest of the fabric to Mama Zheng: "Make me two pants, and the rest will be yours." ”
The mustache stopped: "Fujin, you are too used to Mrs. Zhu, so good fabrics let her spoil them casually." ”
Fu Jin said: "I don't like to hear this, what is waste? It seems that I don't take the things of the cloud master seriously? Sister Zheng is much better at work than you, and she hasn't mastered the habit of fabrics too well, so if you do, maybe it's even worse. ”
The beard pursed her lips and didn't dare to refute.
Yun'er bought the pants for Fujin, so they were naturally made of a sewing machine. She also told Fujin that it was a sample, and she didn't care about anything else, who knew that she would see the "problem" for the mantle.
"Come and see, the stitches on this sample!" The mustache looked like a scorpion sting.
"Huh? Really, what kind of trick is this, how do you do it? Each stitch is generally large! How so? Bun was confused. Of course, she didn't know that it was made by a sewing machine, although the sewing machine had already been installed, and she didn't use the sewing machine because she had been crocheting and patchwork these days. There is no need to pull this kind of fabric at all, it is so casual to move forward, as long as the sewing machine is fine, it will be very smooth, and the insurance will not be pumped.
Yun'er returned to Feiyun Tower, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes and observed the goods in front of her, she felt that she could see it clearly. Yu'er Shui still felt that the master was tired and wanted to rest, so he didn't dare to disturb.
Yun'er saw through the outer layer of boxes that were next to each other, and the upper layer was a code edge machine. Next to each other is the garment sewing machine.
Yun'er opened her eyes and said, "Let's continue to look for something." ”
"Would you like to rest a little longer?" The fish asked with concern.
"Rest. Sister Yu'er, don't follow it, Sister Shui'er and I can take it. ”
"What do you want?"
"I have to look at pinyin to know. Sister Shui'er, you ask Lan'er and the others to carry the aluminum alloy ladder in for me. ”
"Yes, the slave will go immediately."
When she was young, Lan'er and the two brought the ladder over. Yun'er said, "It's okay, you guys go down." ”
Lan'er and the two saluted and went down. Yun'er beckoned Shui'er to go up the ladder from both sides, and carried down the top box on the outer floor, and the fish reflexively reached out to pick it up. was stopped by Yun'er: "Sister-in-law dodge!" ”
The fish pursed its mouth and flashed to the side, watching the master and the water work.
The fish's heart was as anxious as a cat's catch: the master was working and she sang "Ya'er" by herself.
But what can be done? In the belly is the son or daughter of the father-in-law, the grandson or granddaughter that the father-in-law and mother-in-law are looking forward to, and if you don't pay attention to it, maybe the father-in-law and the mother-in-law will not see you in the future.
"Wow! Found it! Yun'er learned the tone of Hong Kong and Taiwan movie stars, and happily patted the top box in the row: "I just said that you bad things don't dare to play hide and seek with me, and finally appeared, right?" ”
"Master, with whom do you speak? Who's the bad stuff? The fish asked.
It is a sewing machine-sama. I've been looking for them since the day I came back, and these sewing machines have another function, they're so good that they just hide behind them and don't say a word. But if they talk, they'll be scared to death. ”
The fish and water looked at each other, and watched the master get off the ladder and go out.
"Why are you talking, the two of us will become salty bacon?" The fish expressed strong dissatisfaction with the neglect of his master.
"Hey, I just said you can't help. Okay, okay, don't be angry with Mrs. Sister-in-law, it's the little sister who is wrong, okay? Come with me to the East Room and find a place for the sewing machine master to stand on. ”
Ling Juan had already moved to the No. 1 courtyard of the Suzhou Mansion on East Road, and the vacated house was very bright, and Yun'er had long planned to install a few sewing machines here to let Yu'er open the door.
Yun'er said to herself: "There are six or seven sewing machines here near the window, and the edge machine is against the east wall. There are really a lot of benefits to finding a prince's husband, at least the territory is big. Sister Shui'er, you instructed Lan'er to clean this room well, and wipe the windows, window lattices, and window sills clean. In the future, you will have new sewing machine skills to learn. ”
"Really, really? Bigger than the skill of crochet flowers? The fish suddenly became excited.
"Compared with this skill, crochet is pediatric."
"Isn't pediatrics for doctors?" The fish are puzzling.
"Don't be mad at me,? I'm using an analogy. It's like crocheting flowers and making siu mai buns, you see? ”
"Understood, understood." The head of the fish is like a chicken pecking rice.
"I don't know what the chief manager is busy with, the installation of the sewing machine must be done by his old man, and in terms of machinery, I am a duck listening to thunder."
"But you just said that this sewing machine is new, and it must be more difficult to learn than the previous one, right?"
"This is going to be a deserter before he goes into battle?"
"No, I'm afraid that I'm stupid and won't be able to learn."
"We fish are the stupidest stupid girls, if you can't learn, I'll beat your ass."
Laughing and returning to the room, Yun'er looked for a piece of cloth suitable for practicing the sewing machine in Xiaoli's head pocket. I was so happy that I sang while looking for it.
"Master, it's time to give milk to the little master, right?"
Yun'er raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "Wow! It's time, thanks to the reminder of my sister-in-law, I will come when I go to the late life. With that, he walked away with a gust of wind.
This time the fish laughed, and laughed uncontrollably. Shui Er asked puzzledly, "Sister Yu'er, what are you laughing at?" ”
"You think about what the master said, she claims to be a late child, and a late birth is a man? Go home to deliver milk, is this night a man or a woman? ”
Yun'er returned home, and Tian Liang happened to be there. Yun'er said to him: "When will the chief manager be free to install a few new sewing machines for me?" ”
"Have you found a new sewing machine?" Okay, tomorrow morning, right? How many units are there? ”
"Let's install six first, and you can't chew it if you are greedy. Two sets of clothing making, one high-power one, one bead embroidery, flat embroidery, and velvet embroidery, and so on a few teaching grandmothers to be proficient, so they will install a few sets for Fujin and our old lady here. ”
"Okay, then the subordinate will tell the prince, and tomorrow he will install it for you with Nalan."
"It's not in a hurry, it's not a day or two. If you have a lot of things at hand, do your business first. ”
After the brother and sister left, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen began to mumble. The gentleman said, "Madame, did you hear what our son and daughter said?" It's like two foreigners who don't understand what they're talking about. ”
"Yes, I understand two words, embroidery."
"You're better than me, and you can at least understand two words."
The two laughed happily, and Baby Beibei laughed inexplicably.
