Chapter 381: Guest

Autumn is getting stronger, and the fallen leaves have begun to fly all over the sky, as if butterflies are dancing.

Autumn won't be as delicate as spring, won't be as charming as summer, won't be as cold as winter, but it has its own wonderful.

On the fields in the suburbs, the dazzling green has begun to fade, the golden waves of wheat are rolling, and the whole earth seems to be dazzling golden yellow, dazzling gold, glorious gold, in a hazy golden yellow, the melody of autumn is so graceful to hear.

The wind, the clear water, the blue sky, the faint smoke, the high sun, the white clouds, the scenery is picturesque, smart and beautiful.

Aftertaste The ginkgo tree in the courtyard has begun to fall leaves, Su Miao stood in the courtyard and looked at it for a while, and saw Aftertaste coming out of the house, wearing a light blue cloud brocade robe, with a dark purple auspicious cloud pattern leather belt around his waist, and his long black hair was tied up with a purple gold jade crown in a regular manner, making him look more tall and elegant, and his expression was heroic.

He is now going out to the prince's mansion, in the morning the prince gave him a post to invite him to the prince's mansion as a guest, and the little eunuch who came to send the invitation also whispered to him with an embarrassed face that the princess was pregnant, and especially wanted to eat the stewed lion head he had made before, and he had been hungry for several months since he was pregnant, and finally looked forward to his return to Liangdu, and the prince mainly wanted to invite him to make a stewed lion's head for the princess to satisfy his hunger.

Listening to the aftertaste, the prince Liang Yi is three years older than Liang Min, and his crown princess is the eldest daughter of the Shengguo Mansion, Tian, the two of them are of similar age and childhood sweethearts, and the relationship between husband and wife has always been very good, and the two have been married for more than ten years. He has three daughters, and now this child is the fourth child, because he has been married for more than ten years and has three daughters. The two of them are probably very nervous about the fourth child, so Liang Yi opened this mouth to Huiwei, hoping that his wife can go well during her pregnancy and will not lose her mouth, and she will be able to give birth to a healthy and healthy grandson in the future. Although Liang Yi also has side concubines, the prince's mansion has not yet given birth to a boy, and everyone in Liang is rumoring that the prince is waiting for the princess to give birth to his eldest son. The crown prince and the crown princess have thus become a model of harmony and beauty between husband and wife.

Su Miao thought that the aftertaste was to make a good meal for the crown princess, and thought it was funny, the prince knew how to hurt his daughter-in-law.

In retrospect, I felt that Liang Yi invited him to go, not necessarily as simple as asking him to stew a lion's head. However, the Rui Wangfu and the Prince's Mansion have always been good friends, Liang Yi has taken care of the aftertaste since he was a child, and when he was young and ignorant, all the princes bullied him because of his illegitimate status, only Liang Yi treated him very well. Generally, when Liang Min is not out, he will come out. Using the identity of the prince to help him press the field, he didn't understand it when he was young, but when he left Liangdu to live in Fengzhou, he was idle and began to think about his childhood, he finally understood a little.

At that time, Liang Min was still Liang Yi's attendant, and until now the two of them are still as good as when they were in Wenying Palace, when Liang Min insisted on marrying Lin Yan, Liang Yi secretly helped a lot, in all fairness. In the gloomy and dark royal family, Liang Yi and Liang Min really have some friendship.

"When will you be back?" Su Miao asked.

"Not necessarily. I will come back as soon as possible, if I don't come back in the evening, you can eat by yourself, if you have something, tell Lu Lan, this Zhuangzi used to be in charge of her, if you want to know anything, ask her, don't go out if it's okay. ”

Su Miao glanced at Lu Lan, who was standing aside, and responded obediently.

It's been a few days since she came to Xueyizhuang, and she also figured out the identity of Lu Lan, Lu Lan is the steward of Xueyi Village and the big girl of Miao Yunxuan, saying that the steward of Xueyi Village has a small population and doesn't need her to manage it, basically the harvest accounts are all related to money are Qiu Hua and his eldest brother Qiu Falcon is dealing with it, saying that the big girl has an aftertaste and does not need to be served closely, she is usually a big girl who pours tea and water and waters the flowers, compared to other people's maids, she is so idle that she can almost directly support the elderly, but it is obvious that Lu Lan's girl is not idle, In such a free and easy life, she is willing to make troubles for herself, always thinking about things, and her eyes are not at peace for a moment.

After the aftertaste left, Su Miao did not continue to stay in Miaoyunxuan, but came to an independent small kitchen near Hongxi Garden, and as soon as she walked to the door, she heard Zhao Ping's impatient voice coming from inside:

"Wrong! Wrong again! You have to say it a few times before you can remember, when you are oiled, you have to fry it to light gold for the first time, and you have to fry it golden brown for the second time, you can't even fry things well, and your craft is dragging its feet even if you go on stage! ”

"Uncle Zhao, I was wrong! It was me who was wrong! I didn't remember it for a while, I forgot what you taught, I'll do it again, Uncle Zhao, you can help me take a look again! Feng Erniu said with a smile on her face as she hurriedly put the damaged food aside and prepared to fry it again.

"How can I have the time to continue to look at you, and I don't know what Su Miao's girl thinks, she actually brought such a thing from you, it's just nothing to look for!" Zhao Ping himself has a bad temper and has no patience to teach, Feng Erniu's clumsiness made him very angry, and he left with a flick of his sleeves and a snort, and simply gave up his job as an instructor.

Feng Erniu saw him leave, the expression on her face was a little panicked, a little self-pity and a little unwilling, knowing that Zhao Ping hated her and hated teaching her this kind of apprentice who had no talent but loved to be strong, but she was reckless, she just liked this, even if everyone said that she was not talented, everyone thought she was clumsy, but she just made up her mind to embark on the road she wanted to embark on, she walked up hard, even if everyone became her resistance, she still gritted her teeth and walked forward with difficulty, It's just because what she wants to walk most in her life is the road she will work for all her life.

She bit her lip, she didn't know how to fry, she thought she had done a good job, but the more professional the place, the more attention to detail that would be commonplace in the hands of a hand, but in the eyes of a new apprentice, it would be sacred and difficult.

She picked up a piece of tenderloin that had been stained with batter, and went down to the golden oil pot, and with a stinging sound, many snow-white bubbles appeared on the surface of the vegetable oil, and a slightly burnt fragrance rushed to her face.

"Zhao Ping's temper is too explosive, let him teach a girl who has just entered the industry, or the little girl will run home crying in a few days." Cheng Tie sat on a stone pier outside the kitchen door and drank a little wine. Shaking his head, he said.

"There are often setbacks in this business, and it is good to meet a strict teacher at the beginning, the more you can endure the meanness, the smoother the road will be. I'm not embarrassed to pretend to be mean, but Uncle Zhao's scale is just right. Su Miao said with a smile.

"What kind of scale is he, he's just that mean." Cheng Tie poured a sip of wine with a big gourd, laughed, and said.

Su Miao smiled.

"Then again, Sister Miao, Erniu is a good boy. But we still pay attention to a talent in this business, that child, she has no talent. The craftsmanship is not outstanding, and I don't say anything if I want to support my family for a living, but if she wants to gain a firm foothold in this industry, she doesn't have this qualification. Cheng Tie said seriously.

Su Miao didn't immediately refute his words. looked at Feng Erniu, who was still busy diligently wiping her sweat with her sleeves in the small kitchen. After being silent for a while, he smiled and said:

"Talent is really not good, some people are indeed born to be very sensitive and good at a certain line, but then if you slack off or even have boring or disgusting thoughts, even if you have a high talent, it is in vain, to be able to move forward on a road until the last moment, this determination and perseverance are far more important than talent."

Cheng Tie didn't object to her statement, but just ......

"The big game is coming. At this juncture, I'm afraid she's not qualified to be your assistant. ”

Su Miao raised her eyebrows. She didn't deny this: "But Su Ji has no idlers to bring, Xiao Weiwei has to be busy to participate in the competition by herself, we don't have enough manpower, fortunately she took the initiative to come to the door, otherwise I would have gone to find an assistant after I got Liang Du." ”

"Is the head chef really going to leave you behind to compete?" Cheng Tie frowned, although he already knew about it, because it wasn't his wife's mouth that he hadn't asked, but he was also worried in his heart, and now that he was finally alone with Su Miao, he naturally had to understand.

"What is 'abandoned', he just went to a competition."

"The head chef didn't tell you that he was going to compete alone before he came, he just asked you to bring Miss Feng as a replacement, and it wasn't until later that he told you that he was going to compete too, if Miss Feng didn't show up at that time, wouldn't you have one less assistant Sister Miao?" Cheng Tie frowned and said meaningfully

Su Miao understood what he meant, not to provoke, Cheng Tie's words were a little reasonable, and Hui Hui had already made up her mind to compete alone, but she didn't tell her when she had already decided, which caught her off guard. Although if there was no Feng Erniu, maybe he would recommend other assistants to her, but in this matter, she was hiding him after all, putting aside personal feelings, to put it a little bigger, in the case of the two being opponents of each other, retrospectively doing so would easily be regarded as malicious competition, and secretly taking advantage of the other party's trust to suppress and dismantle the stage.

Having said that, Su Miao was not unhappy, also putting aside personal feelings, the aftertaste was just her assistant in the game, although it was a powerful assistant, but the assistant was an assistant, if he was a husband, she would naturally not let him go around, but now he is an assistant, and the boss can't keep the assistant when he wants to change jobs, which she knows very well, so she didn't get angry.

Cheng Tie regretted it after speaking, he just wanted to give himself a mouth, he was not the mother-in-law with a broken mouth, but the words just now seemed to be provoking the feelings of their little couple, he definitely didn't mean this, he just felt that Su Miao was a little disadvantaged in this matter, but after thinking about it, the two of them should not be too clear to avoid being divided, he began to worry that Su Miao would think that he would find trouble in understanding something because of his words, so he quickly changed the topic and asked with a smile:

"I thought that the candidate for the third assistant might as well ask the sous chef to pick out an experienced candidate in Liangdu, which is better than a novice like Miss Feng who will drag his feet."

"He is looking for Huixianglou, and our competition is Su Ji Pinxian Building, where can we mix together." Su Miao lightly rejected his proposal.

Cheng Tie was stunned, at this time, Su Miao was quite clear.

Feng Erniu came to the corner of the courtyard with a basket of crispy tenderloin that failed to be fried, and ate depressedly, she used to think that it would be delicious to make it like this, and they were full of praise when she made it for her younger brothers and sisters at home, but she had eaten the dishes made by the master, and the ordinary home-cooked dishes would become more delicious dishes than the banquet of the gods through the hands of the master, at that moment she was deeply shocked and impressed, she secretly swore that she must become a chef like the master, but now, She couldn't even fry a crispy tenderloin.

"Eat so much and you'll be fat like a ball!" Laughter sounded, and Su Miao, who she had been thinking about just now, suddenly appeared beside her and sat down with a smile, startling her.

"Master, Master......" She hurriedly stood up and respectfully greeted An, "I've seen Master." ”

Feng Erniu's mother has studied, so the children in the family are educated to be very polite, and they respect teachers and abide by them very much, but her compliance makes Su Miao a little embarrassed, she is not very aware of being a teacher now, scratched her cheeks, she asked with a smile:

"You're not going to eat all the tenderloins, are you?"

Feng Erniu's expression became more and more flustered, and she explained with a red face:

"Today, I followed Uncle Zhao to learn how to make fried tenderloin, and I failed several times, and no one else can eat it when it is fried like this, and it is wasted when I throw it away, and I will not waste it if I eat it myself. Master, I will work to pay off my debts! She said in a sincere tone with a hint of pleading, afraid that Su Miao would use the tenderloin as an excuse to drive her away.

This is a sensible girl, Su Miao didn't correct her thoughts, smiled slightly, and asked:

"Do you know why you want to blow things up again?"

Feng Erniu was stunned for a moment, and shook her head in confusion.

"The first time I fry it over low heat, it's to set the shape and cook the inside of the ingredients; The second time it is fried over high heat is to make it crispy on the outside. If you fry the tenderloin all the time on low heat, not only will the skin not be crispy, but it will be soft and sticky when eaten; If you keep using high heat, the tenderloin will be fried dry even if it doesn't get fried. The initial frying should be heated at a temperature of four or five percent of the oil, at which time the surface of the oil is relatively calm, but there is already a little smoke coming out. Re-frying uses a 70% hot oil temperature, the oil pan fluctuates frequently, and a lot of oil smoke has begun to appear. After the initial frying, take out the tenderloin, control the oil in a colander, and turn it a few times to let the meat dissipate heat evenly, at this time, there will be water vapor into the batter on the surface of the tenderloin, and let it stand for half a minute, so that the water vapor in the batter can be fried out during the re-frying, so as to avoid the high oil temperature causing the tenderloin to dry and firewood, and at the same time, the skin of the tenderloin will be tightened in the process, making the tenderloin more crispy. The time for re-explosion should not be too long, and it should be controlled to about one minute. ”

Feng Erniu was at a loss at first, but when she heard the last, she suddenly understood what Su Miao meant, she was overjoyed, turned over and knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and said loudly:

"Thank you, Master, for your teachings!"

It startled Su Miao.

At this moment, Lu Lan, who had never been waiting to see her, hurriedly walked over, made a stiff face, and said:

"Girl, there's a guest!" (To be continued.) )
