Chapter 121: Learning Arts

Yunzhu went to work in Ruyi Restaurant, and Chen Shen asked the account office to give her a salary of 700 yuan a month.

When Master Zhang heard about this amount, he felt unfair for Yunzhu: "What is seven hundred a month enough for?" You also have to support your family, and this Chen Shen is too picky. ”

Yunzhu thought to herself that she had just come, it was good to learn some crafts next to Master Zhang, although the work was miscellaneous, it was not too tiring, and seven hundred yuan a month could be accepted.

But Master Zhang broke it down: "He just bullied you because you were a woman, and Lao Jiang still gave one or two a month." The difference is too great. ”

Master Jiang never mentioned to Yun Zhu how much he earned, but with such an obvious comparison, Yun Zhu felt a little short in his heart. She just came, and she didn't want to find Chen Shen to theorize anything. She didn't want to bargain with Chen Shen anymore, she felt tired of dealing with such people.

Every day, I come to the hour to respond, and in the afternoon, I basically have to go back to the hour of the unitary, usually later than this hour. There was no leak in the house, no clock, and no husband in the village. However, Yunzhu has long been used to getting up early, so he has never delayed. Every day when she goes out early and returns late, leaving a seven-year-old daughter alone at home to watch the house, Yunzhu can't help it, but for the sake of life, she has to grit her teeth and insist, fortunately, Tian Tian is a very sensible and worry-free child. Not only that, but also help her with household chores and take care of livestock, so she doesn't have to worry about it everywhere.

The twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month is Tian Tian's birthday, as early as the day before, Yun Zhu went to the pastry shop to order two boxes of Tian Tian's favorite snacks, thinking that the twenty-seventh could go back early and accompany Tian Tian for his birthday.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning, Master Zhang said to her: "Today is a lot of work." You're going to help me. Stir-fry two more dishes for me later. ”

Yun Zhu said in his heart: "I'll try it." ”

It turned out that a wealthy family in the town came to their restaurant today and chartered ten tables of banquets to entertain some more distinguished guests. There are even local officials.

"Which one has such a big face?" Yun Zhu thought, it's not the family surnamed Hu.

Later, a woman in charge of washing vegetables in the kitchen said to her, "You don't know yet." It is the Sun family who lives in the north gate, and their lord came back at the end of the year, and I heard that he was a big official outside, and now he is returning to his hometown, and he has a lot of face on his face. ”

Yunzhu thought, of course, returning to his hometown is a beautiful thing, no wonder there is such a big fanfare. I just don't know how big an official this Sun master has become, and then the woman said: "It seems to be a big man of three grades, in short, it is very powerful." I heard that I brought back a six-room concubine. There are more than a dozen sons and daughters, and all the grandsons are officials, and I heard that there are still children who have just been weaned. ”

Yunzhu said secretly, most people's most simple wishes are just to pursue more children and more blessings, and have children and grandchildren. The ups and downs of the sea are amazing, and it is great to be able to get a good ending in the end.

However, the restaurant took over this job, thinking that Chen Shen would try his best to please him, and the wine and food naturally had to be more thoughtful, and in the end, they were the ones who worked hard.

The Sun family's banquet was booked three days in advance. The recipe was jointly drawn up by Chen Shen and Master Zhang, and the Sun family nodded before handing it over to the procurement office for purchase. Now all the ingredients are ready, and the dishes that take time to put on the steamer were steamed yesterday.

Master Zhang pulled Yunzhu aside and said to her, "You can fry these two dishes in a while." ”

When Yunzhudao didn't know it, he thought he could give it a try, but now he knows that it was the Sun family. I feel even more bottomless, thinking about a big official, I haven't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas. What if she gets fired.

Master Zhang encouraged her again and again.

Master Jiang thought. Yunzhu has only been here for a few days and can be on the stove, and he hasn't even touched the edge. I was unhappy, but I still encouraged Yunzhu to try it.

Yunzhu glanced at the recipe. I saw that it was fried chicken feet and mixed pork heart, two inconspicuous dishes, which was a little relieved.

Chef Zhang had already gone to the ear room to drink tea, and Yun Zhu was washing vegetables here while pondering how to make two dishes.

The chicken feet that were to be used were also brought, they had been cleaned, the toenails had been chopped off, and the calluses had gone. What Yunzhu didn't expect was that it was full of two wooden barrels, and she thought to herself how much this was going to do. Looking back, I had to prepare these for ten tables. Chef Zhang came over and asked, "What are you going to cook your food?" ”

Yunzhu said: "I found the soaked red pepper and fried it." ”

"No, that's how ordinary people eat. You can't do that. ”

Yun Zhu was a little surprised, thinking that the fried chicken feet tasted different, but the methods were all the same, could there be anything new?

Master Zhang found a sharp knife, picked up a chicken claw, removed the thickest part of the meat in the claw, and said to Yunzhu: "Well, like this, remove the meat, and make a dish here." ”

Yun Zhu was dumbfounded, she has always eaten chicken feet except for the bones, where is there only a little bit of meat, if you want to make a whole dish, how many chicken feet will have to be consumed.

"It's really poor and extravagant, where do ordinary people pay so much attention." Yunzhu couldn't stop exclaiming.

Master Zhang looked indifferent, and patiently said to Yunzhu: "Let me tell you, the richer the family, the more exquisite." Especially these old men who have returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, they have not seen anything in the world for decades outside, and they have never eaten anything delicious. In the past, my prince was also a picky person, and his favorite was the duck tongue, which was the most tender in the duck head. Marinate forty or fifty duck heads at a time, take that section and make it into a dish. Listening to those people in the imperial kitchen, the emperor and the queen mother concubines in the palace also have their own picky and exquisite places. ”

Only then did Yunzhu realize how far away her current living situation was from those people.

"It turns out that Master Zhang has done it in the palace before?"

"Yes, I've been doing it for a few years, because the prince's temperament is too weird and it's really hard to serve, so I came out."

At that level, Yun Zhu thought that she would probably not be able to touch it in her life. She looked at Master Zhang's gaze with a little admiration and envy.

Under the guidance of Master Zhang, the cloud beads began to be fried. But it didn't feel like she was frying chicken feet at all, and she only fried three plates, so it didn't turn out that every table had to be served.

There is also a dish of moving pig's heart, which allows Yunzhu to play freely, and Master Zhang did not give any more advice. He's already starting to get to the big dishes he wants to serve. He didn't clear the scene either, but Yun Zhu knew that Master Zhang's secret was still in the black porcelain jar, which contained his special spices. Master Jiang also had this before, but Yun Zhu thought that the level inside must be self-evident.

After Yunzhu mixed the pork heart, he asked Master Zhang to help taste the taste, where did Master Zhang have time, nodded and said, "Let people serve the food, I can trust you." (To be continued......)
