Chapter 42 Zong, the beginning of the decision
"It would be great if the young lady could accept the minion's proposal. Even if it's just a substitute, it can help. ”
"That's fine. You go and find someone first, by the way, what's the name of the uncle you said? ”
"Zhao An."
"Okay, you go to find someone, Yu Mian, you go to the kitchen to see how it is prepared, after each zongzi is done, take it in a small saucer, the size of the saucer, it should be enough to hold a cup and saucer, separate, don't mix the taste, take it to me one by one, and then choose the flavor that needs to be tried."
"No." Yumian was ordered to leave.
"Yuxu, you will be responsible for using those bamboo knives and forks I prepared, cut off a part, and give me a taste."
"No."
"Yueyang, Yueqin, the two of you know how to heal, after you have seen these things one by one, if it is not suitable for me to eat now, you are responsible for tasting it and tell me how I feel."
"No."
Shen Zhuru ordered them one by one, and even let the screens in the bedroom be removed, and directly put on the long tables, which were prepared for trying those zongzi.
Whether it is appearance or taste, Shen Zhuru hopes to make Mu Liu Xinyue impeccable.
Her mother-in-law also made it clear that the first thing this zongzi is to seek a new idea, followed by the taste.
Although the useless zongzi has not been clearly stated, it is also related to Shen Zhuru's own future image and Mufu's face.
If someone uses this zongzi as an excuse to say that she is a useless daughter-in-law, even if she barely gets by, her small life will definitely not be easy.
Just for yourself, this time you have to go all out and choose the most suitable one.
As different flavors of zongzi are sent into the room, the whole room is filled with the aroma of zongzi.
There are sweet, salty, sour, and some indescribable flavors, which fill the air.
More flavor, or the aroma of glutinous rice plays a leading role.
Although I have not tasted the taste yet, it can be seen from the eighty-one different flavors of zongzi sent in that the matter of this zongzi, in the case of the Mu family, is a continuation of the custom of nine generations, nine kinds of one generation, eight kinds of nine generations, and each generation is about once in twenty years on average, and the custom of nearly two hundred years has been implemented.
Originally, there was a little bit that Mu Liu Xinyue would take the opportunity to target her, which would make Shen Zhuru also put away her villain's heart and become serious.
Checked by Yueyang Yueqin, there are several food mixed zongzi that are not suitable for Shen Zhuru's physical condition at the moment, or are easy to destroy the medicinal properties and affect the healing of wounds.
After collecting the evaluations of the two of them, and then trying other flavors of zongzi, Shen Zhuru had some points in his heart, but if he wanted to do it well, the raw materials were the key.
Of course, eating zongzi is not a matter of one person, she also instructed the kitchen to take some more zongzi of various varieties and distribute them to the people in the yard After tasting them, everyone's opinions were also listened to, and at this time she summoned the uncle who asked Qibao to find it, Zhao An.
According to the rules of the Mu family, men are not allowed to enter the courtyard where the female dependents are located at will, especially the bedroom.
Shen Zhuru thought of a compromise solution, and directly asked people to move the soft collapse to the entrance of the outer hall of the bedroom, where to place a white gauze screen style to block the entrance of the door, so that Qibao brought people to the door, and met with Zhao An, a famous zongzi expert in Qiyang County recommended by Qibao.
When he first saw Zhao An, Shen Zhuru thought it would be a man with a slightly rounded body, but he didn't expect it to be a man in his early thirties with a burly body, more like a martial artist than a chef, and a resolute face.
At the first glance of Zhao An, what flashed in Shen Zhuru's mind was the person who was a soldier, a very inexplicable idea, but it was very in line with his image at the moment, his waist was straight, his face was serious, his standing posture was as straight as a pine, and a feeling of strict discipline came to his face.
Shen Zhuru blinked, put away his surprise, waved his hand, and first asked the prepared eighty-one flavors of zongzi for this Zhao An to taste.
Zhao An didn't say much, just played with the small fork in his hand with a little novelty, selected and tasted a few flavors in these samples, and then stopped talking.
How could Shen Zhuru not know about Zhao An's actions, and slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Zhao, I don't know what you think of these zongzi?" ”
Shen Zhuru's title attracted everyone's attention, and even Zhao An was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise.
"The young lady is polite, just call Zhao An or Master Zhao."
"Oh, then I wonder how Master Zhao feels?"
"I wonder if the young lady wants to hear the truth or lie?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you tell a lie, it's naturally a compliment, and the truth is somewhat offensive."
"Oh, then I don't know if Master Zhao's so-called true or false words are for the taste of the zongzi, or if it is the difference between the true and false words of the zongzi that I can make a novel taste?"
"Naturally, the purpose of the young lady's invitation to come down."
"Please."
"The chef in the house is already at the master level in the production of zongzi, and there is nothing to be picky about. It's just that this taste, most of which are similar to some flavors from other places, have no characteristics at all, but they also expand the taste of zongzi, as for the style, it can't be changed. After all, it's a holiday tradition, and image matters. Therefore, the young lady can't modify the shape, this is the truth, as for the lie, change the appearance, change the soup without changing the medicine, but barely pass the test, but the reputation will not be too good, and once the shape changes, I am afraid it will be troublesome to make. ”
"What you mean is that the taste can change, but the form can't be changed, because tradition is important."
"That's right."
"The varieties on the house because they are basically all collected the flavors of the south and the north, with what I have seen and heard, it can be said that they are all complete, the young lady wants to pass the test, must bring forth the new, make a new taste, the lie is naturally Mrs. can get out, the truth is, even if I add my own original several new flavors of zongzi, the prerequisites of the nine kinds still cannot be met, the young lady gives up early, or the fish eye is mixed, maybe it can solve the problem."
"Master Zhao means that he is not optimistic about me at all."
"Sweet and sour, bitter and salty, the taste is in everyone's hands, there may be novelty that I don't know, I dare not say no, after all, manpower is unlimited, there is a way after all, it just depends on whether people can imagine it. It's just time. ”
"Master Zhao's words are really tactful. I don't know Master Zhao's ability......"
Shen Zhuru wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to try to see if this Zhao An was real, because she had an idea and needed someone worthy of trust, so she didn't know if this Zhao An was worth it.
