Chapter 57: Preparation

Early the next morning, Yunzhu instructed Tian Tian to look after the house and serve the livestock fed by the family. She changed into the clean clothes she had gone out, hurriedly freshened up, and was about to go out.

Feng Bai came over.

"Song Niangzi, it's time to go."

Yunzhu hurriedly agreed: "I still bother the second aunt to come to the door to invite." Right away. ”

Here Tian Tian ran over and shouted crisply: "Second grandma!" ”

Feng Bai bent down and rubbed Tian Tian's hair lovingly, and said with a smile: "The little girl has a sweet mouth. ”

Yunzhu had already packed up and came out and said, "Second aunt, let's go." ”

Feng Bai smiled: "It's better to let Tian Tian go with you." Go back and talk to Master Jiang, he will definitely have no opinion. ”

Yunzhu said: "No, this family has to be guarded, otherwise what will happen to the chickens and ducks fed and the pigs in the pen." She was still a child, and she was afraid of causing trouble in the past, so forget it. We're not guests. He said to Tian Tian again: "Remember the words I gave you, take good care of the house, and go to your Aunt Meizi next door to find you next door, do you know?" ”

Tian Tian nodded obediently, with a pair of big watery eyes, and his appearance was extremely pitiful. Yun Zhu couldn't help pinching her little face, and then left with Feng Bai.

Master Jiang sat on the stone under the big locust tree and smoked dry tobacco, and there were two more young and strong young men next to him, all of whom were fresh-faced. The woman who had been burning the fire with them was nowhere to be seen.

Master Jiang put away the cigarette pouch, got up and said, "Let's go." ”

Yun Zhu followed Feng Bai's side, and the two talked all the way. Three men walked in front. They had to speed up their pace to keep up with them.

"Have you heard of this Hu family?"

Yunzhu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know anyone in the town." ”

Feng Bai is a bag of inquirers, and he has always been very well-informed. However, she still has a little advantage, although she knows a lot of things, she has a strict mouth, and she will not spread right and wrong like those long-tongued women in the village.

Feng Bai and Yunzhu said: "Everyone in Qingtang Town knows about this Hu family, it is said that the family is engaged in tea trading, and the family is very rich. Silver is like snowflakes. ”

"If you are really so rich, why do you still live in Qingtang?"

"You don't know that. Living in Qingtang are the old couple of the Hu family. The children have their own houses everywhere. I heard that the fourth daughter of their family is married to a general. The dignified general's wife, what a magnificent. ”

"This time they married the six sons of their family, but they were just a concubine. Married to the daughter of the county family. ”

Yunzhu said: "Don't they all say that low marriage and high marriage, a concubine of a merchant family, marrying the daughter of a county official, seems to be a little unusual." ”

Feng Bai smiled: "I didn't expect that even the Song lady, who has seen the world, said so." Do you think that the county order looks down on the Hu family......" She shook her head and said, "I heard that the county order is still looking for someone to be the matchmaker." Take the initiative to bring your daughter over. Didn't you just take a fancy to the white flowers and silver of their Hu family? Of course, I think it must be the fourth girl of their Hu family who became the general's wife. ”

Yun Zhu thinks it makes sense to say this.

It's the first time to cook for such a rich family. Master Jiang was a little unconfident in his craft. Then he asked Yunzhu: "The Song family must help me." ”

Yunzhu said: "I don't have much confidence. What I thought in my heart was that since Master Zhang in the restaurant was invited, they might only have to fight their lives, and where would they get their turn to perform.

When they arrived at Hu's house, they entered through the back door.

Yunzhu followed behind them, looking at the flowers and trees in the back garden, a lush scene. I thought that she was in this situation, and she didn't know how many lifetimes she would have to endure before she could live in the final garden.

It was also the first time for Feng Bai to go to such a rich and noble family, and he just felt that his eyes were not enough. She really wanted to touch the paintings in those pavilions and smell the flowers on the branches. It's just a matter of thinking.

Master Jiang inquired about the Hu family's servant before finding the kitchen. Chef Zhang hasn't come here yet, and there are a lot of fresh vegetables piled up in the kitchen, and half of the pork is lying on the board.

Master Jiang rolled up his sleeves and said to the people around him, "Although I don't know what the menu is, don't be stunned." Let's get to work. ”

The crowd responded.

Just as they were about to get busy, a man who looked like a steward walked in.

"Where are you from?"

Master Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and bent down and said with a smile: "We are here to help cook, and Master Zhang also knows." By the way, I don't know if Master Zhang is here? ”

The steward looked at them with a little disdain and contempt, and only after understanding Master Jiang's words did he say, "Chef Zhang hasn't come here yet." It's a mess here, you guys clean it up. I'll send you something when Chef Zhang comes. Don't move things that shouldn't be moved. ”

Master Jiang should be.

With such a cautious and flattering look, Yunzhu is still the first time to see it.

The steward looked around them again and walked away.

Master Jiang assigned them to help with the work. Yun Zhu and Feng Bai were busy sorting out the dishes. Yunzhu knew that today was not a positive day, and there were not many things to do. I thought that tomorrow would be the main wine. I don't know when Master Zhang will come. A few of them, along with the two guys left in the kitchen itself, hurried to clean up the meat and vegetables. The ground was also washed again. The knife is sharpened.

Yun Zhu and Feng Bai were busy sorting out the onions and peeling the garlic.

Master Jiang sat down and smoked again. They were all waiting for Master Zhang's arrival.

I don't know how long it took, Yun Zhu and Feng Bai processed the ginger, onion and garlic, peeled the lettuce, foamed the fungus, and processed spring bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms and the like.

After a while, Master Zhang finally came, followed by two guys from the restaurant.

Master Zhang was stunned when he saw Master Jiang, and hurriedly said, "What about you all clean it up?" ”

Master Jiang hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I don't know what the menu is, so I don't dare to move it casually." Please also ask Master Zhang for guidance. ”

Only then did Master Zhang see the inconspicuous Song Yunzhu in the corner, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly said, "You can help wash and cut the vegetables, and you don't have to interfere in other things." ”

Master Jiang couldn't help but be a little depressed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to do anything, so he had to obediently obey the arrangement.

The person behind Master Zhang put down the back basket, which contained the knives that Master Zhang was used to, and his secret sauce. Command the people in front of you as if nothing happened. The menu was prepared a long time ago, because it seemed unhurried and organized.

Chef Zhang later found an opportunity to say a few words to Yunzhu: "I changed your recipe slightly, and now it is made into a hot pot and is being sold, but I didn't expect it to be quite popular." Our shopkeeper is also happy. If you don't show your hands later, I'll see. ”

When Yun Zhu heard this, he glanced at Master Jiang, but Master Jiang looked at him approvingly, and Yun Zhu said, "I'm just afraid that I will lose my hand and cause trouble to Master Zhang." ”

Master Zhang smiled: "Naturally, you fry a plate first, and I will taste it first." Where did it say that you should serve the food directly. ”

Yunzhu then understood, and suddenly his face turned red. (To be continued......)
