After receiving such good tea from others, Du Qiyue felt a little disrespectful, and thought of hearing Zhao Yiyun's violent cough that day, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, is the young master's cough better?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Du Qiyue felt rude, and was about to apologize, Wu Mingyao said: "It's better, but he is weak, and a little illness has to be better than others at night to get better." There are fewer and fewer things to eat, and he used to like things with heavier flavors, but now he can only eat foods with very light tastes, and he has no appetite every time he looks at it. I'm here today to ask if you've made anything fresh to eat for my cousin to try. ”

Wu Mingyao said with some regret, it was also his negligence, he didn't think in advance that Du Qiyue might be excluded.

There are a lot of fresh food Du Qiyue will meet, but there is no place for it in this kitchen, and he happened to have some itchy hands, so he said: "There are new foods, and there are not many guests now, I can go to the house to make a snack and come back." ”

"Really?" Wu Mingyao raised his eyebrows and asked, fresh food is not so easy to make, many famous chefs can't make a few new dishes in their lifetime, looking at Du Qiyue's appearance is very easy, which can't help but make Wu Mingyao a little surprised.

"Really." Du Qiyue nodded and said.

Wu Mingyao called Lian Ming to take Du Qiyue to Wu Mansion, and still went to the small kitchen where he made dim sum last time, but this time there seemed to be a few more people in the kitchen, and it was clearly divided into two factions from the original ones.

Lian Ming's expression remained unchanged, and she glanced at the people in the kitchen and asked Du Qiyue, "Du Langjun, can't you let people see it this time?" ”

"That's for the best." Du Qiyue arched his hand. He knows that this is very troublesome and hypocritical, but who let him have no money now, the way he makes dim sum is usually not difficult, and if he has good cooking skills, he will just look at it, and being seen by Wu Mingyao's subordinates is a loss of a lot of silver for him, and he is reluctant.

Lian Ming nodded, walked to the center of the kitchen and looked around, so that everyone looked at him before raising his voice and saying, "It's not yet dinner, and you sisters-in-law don't have anything to do, so let's go outside and rest for a while." ”

When the original people in the kitchen heard this, they immediately put down their work and walked out in twos and threes. The people who came after stood still for a while, and one of them, a tall woman who looked like a leader, walked out, looked at Du Qiyue and said to Lian Ming: "Brother, we are still working at hand, how can we just go out?" ”

As soon as Lian Ming came in, she saw something stewed on the stove, but she just didn't want to pay attention to it. At this time, when she heard the woman's words, she pouted and laughed and said, "If the steamed things in this pot are good immediately, we will wait, if they don't get better for a while, and they won't be bad on the stove, you can go out in peace." ”

The tall woman heard this, but did not leave, but said: "This is what Aunt Liu asked me to watch personally, if I go out, Aunt Liu will be punished, and it will be difficult for you to bear it for me." ”

Lian Ming's face turned black all of a sudden, the last time Du Qiyue and Li Shopkeeper were taken to the Shuyu Courtyard, Wu Mingyao asked Lianming to investigate, and Lian Ming found out that this was because Aunt Liu was dissatisfied with Wu Mingyao always staying in Zhao Yiyun's courtyard, and suspected that Zhao Yiyun was hooking up with Wu Mingyao, so she sent his subordinates to deliberately misinterpret Wu Mingyao's words, and brought the foreign man to Shuyu Courtyard to give Zhao Yiyun no face. Wu Mingyao knew that he was angry and went to Aunt Liu's house to teach him a lesson, but Aunt Liu didn't admit it at first, Wu Mingyao said that she was in a hurry, she said that she had a stomachache, and then she fainted all of a sudden. Later, the doctor came and said that Aunt Liu was pregnant for two months, and because she was angry, she hurt the fetus, and she needed to recuperate and no longer move.

This is Wu Mingyao's first child, although it may be embarrassing to be the eldest son, but Wu Mingyao was happy and immediately withdrew the punishment for Aunt Liu, only let her think about it in the house, and then rewarded Aunt Liu with a bunch of things for Aunt Liu to take care of. This time Lian Ming was unlucky, and the things that Aunt Liu should have been punished because the unformed child in Aunt Liu's womb was completely reversed. Aunt Liu's fetal gas is her own fault in the final analysis, but of course she doesn't think that she has done anything wrong, but instead pushes the responsibility to others, Wu Mingyao Of course she can't blame it, so she blames Lian Ming, and uses the sick stall to severely reprimand Lian Ming, which makes Lian Ming very shameless.

This tall woman is called Mama An, and she is the cook from her hometown that Aunt Liu brought when she entered the door, and she has been working in the big kitchen in the outer courtyard, because Aunt Liu said that she wanted to eat the food of her hometown, so she was transferred to this small kitchen. Wu Mingyao's small kitchen and the big kitchen in the outer courtyard are more than one in the sky and one in the ground, Mama An was a little carried away with joy, and she wanted to embarrass Lianming a little because Aunt Liu was favored.

Mama An probably thought that Lian Ming didn't dare to take his words, but Lian Ming took over the conversation and said to An He: "If something happens, I will take care of it, you just have to go out." ”

When it came to this, Mama An had no choice but to walk out with someone, and as soon as she went out, Mama An snorted coldly, gave a look to a brother next to her, and asked him to go to Aunt Liu's yard quietly.

After Mama An and the others left, Lian Ming and Du Qiyue said a few more words and walked out, but he did not leave, but sat in front of the kitchen and chatted with a few former cooks.

Du Qiyue looked at the various things in the kitchen, planning to make a three-pool loquat, a banana yam roll, and a butterfly steamed dumpling. Loquat cough relieve, yam nourishment, steamed dumplings are delicious, sweet and salty, dry and wet, and they taste just right.

Loquat is a seasonal fruit that has a lot in the kitchen. Du Qiyue selected eight large loquats, blanched them in boiling water, and then peeled them and removed the cores. Wash the red dates and candied dates, remove the pits, chop them into cubes with kumquat cakes, add sugar and mix well to make a filling. Then put the stuffing into the loquat and put it in the steamer to steam.

This one needs to be steamed for about ten minutes, during which Du Qiyue heats up two pots. This dim sum needs to use wet starch, but Dafeng Dynasty does not have a special starch, and when you want to use it, you need to mix it by the chef yourself, so Du Qiyue added water and dry powder made of various plants in a pot to make wet starch. Add water, sugar, and osmanthus to another pot and boil, pour in the adjusted wet starch to make a thin thicken, and then pour sesame oil on the steamed loquat, so that it is done.

The next thing to do is the banana yam roll, which is a little easier to do. Bananas are transported from the southernmost county, and because of the long distance, the price is quite expensive, one costs ten taels of silver, and it can only be seen in the kitchen of Wu Mingyao's wealth. Du Qiyue took two sticks, peeled them off, cut them into small pieces, twisted them into mashed bananas, and poured in milk.

In order to nourish Aunt Liu's body, the kitchen prepared a lot of fresh milk that had no fishy smell, Du Qiyue poured a large bowl into the mashed banana and stirred it into a paste, then added flour, eggs and a little sugar, and stirred it into a sticky banana paste with chopsticks. Then pour cooking oil into the pan, wait for the oil to be hot, pour in the banana paste and fry it into a golden dough on both sides. After that, Du Qiyue peeled the steamed yam and pounded it into a mashed yam, rolled it into round strips, rolled it on the dough cake, and then cut it into even pieces and put it on a plate.

Butterfly steamed dumplings are the most troublesome to make, take half of the legs and the fresh pork filled, add the cooked ham with lean meat, soaked shiitake mushrooms, prawns, fresh bamboo shoots, green onions, ginger and chop into meat puree, add various seasonings and mix well. Flour and water to make a dough, cut into a mixture, roll it into a round skin, roll up both sides of the dough, make a fan shape, turn it over and put the meat filling. Fold the triangles to wrap the minced meat, knead the two straight sides into a folded wing pattern, push the rounded dough up from the middle to make eyes, and then turn both sides over to make wings, and then put them in a steamer to steam them.

After placing the three sums on the tray, Du Qiyue looked at it and found a large plate again, carved the cucumber and pumpkin into the shape of leaves and flowers, and arranged them into a cluster of flowers on the plate, and then placed the steamed butterfly steamed dumplings among the flowers, and then put a small plate of prepared sauce, so it was perfect.

Du Qiyue put the three sums of dim sum into the tray again, and after washing his hands, he went out to find Lian Ming and asked him to bring the dim sum to the Yuyuan Courtyard, but unfortunately, Lian Ming went to the thatched house with an upset stomach just now, and he may not be able to come back for a while. Du Qiyue still remembered what the cook said last time, so he didn't ask the people in the kitchen to help serve it, but stayed at the kitchen door and waited for Lian Ming to come back.

At this time, a dressed girl came over from outside, and said to Mama An while walking to the kitchen: "Is Aunt Liu's bird's nest porridge stewed?" ”

"Miss Qianxue, it's not done yet." Mama An pointed at Du Qiyue and said, "Just now, this Lang Jun was making snacks in the kitchen, and Brother Lian Ming, who was next to the young master, asked us to wait outside, so it was delayed. ”

"Do you have ready-made snacks in the kitchen? Aunt Liu is very hungry now, and she can't eat anything. Qianxue said, she had already walked into the kitchen by this time, and her eyes were looking around the kitchen as if she was looking for something to eat.

The three snacks made by Du Qiyue were placed on the table at the door of the kitchen, and Qianxue saw it at once, and said, "Isn't this a ready-made snack." He reached for the plate of butterfly steamed dumplings.

Just now he listened to the conversation between Lian Ming and Mama An and knew that this Aunt Liu was afraid of having a holiday with Lian Ming, and an aunt who dared to celebrate the festival with her husband's personal attendant was probably not a fuel-efficient lamp, so when he heard this Qianxue say the three words Aunt Liu, Du Qiyue began to be vigilant, and when he saw Qianxue stretching out her hand to the dim sum she made, she quickly picked it up.

"What do you do?" At the first glance of Qianxue's three plates of dim sum, she wanted to take them back to please Aunt Liu, but now Du Qiyue took them away, and she scolded angrily: "This is a dim sum for Aunt Liu, you dare to take it, if you don't come back, I will let the little girl clean you up." ”

"This is the dim sum that your master asked me to make for my cousin, if you want to take it, you will ask your master first."

Qianxue was originally sent by Mama An to inform Aunt Liu to snatch Zhao Yiyun's snacks, and after listening to Du Qiyue's words, she immediately said: "Our aunt is pregnant with a little young master in her belly, and the master said before that our aunt wants to eat what she wants to eat, although she went to the kitchen to get it, where do I need to ask for such three stacks of dim sum." Hurry up and give it to me, Aunt Liu is hungry, and if she doesn't eat again, she will have tire gas. ”

"I just have to listen to your master, if you want to take a snack, go to your master, as long as your master agrees that you can just take it, otherwise I won't give it to you." Du Qiyue said that the contract between him and Wu Mingyao did not write that he wanted to make snacks for people like his aunt and aunt Fang Fulang in his house, and he did it for Zhao Yiyun twice out of gratitude, once to thank Wu Mingyao, and once to thank Zhao Yiyun. For no reason, he won't give his carefully made snacks to others.
