Volume 1 Chapter 20 Yan Lang is really generous
March is an honest person, not to mention the Xiangdi banquet, usually accompany the Fang period in the morning and dusk, she didn't dare to look around in the Guanchun Garden, don't talk about Yan Sanlang that day, she didn't even see what Mrs. Luo looked like.
Fang Qi didn't need to explain in March, waved at her, and continued to lie on the door frame with relish.
I only heard Yan Chi say: "The day before yesterday, Yan ate a quail crystal at the banquet in Qin Xiang's mansion, and the flavor was even more unique than what I ate at the palace banquet, which really made Yan have an endless aftertaste, so although I know that this is Wen Niangzi's private residence, not a wine shop and dinner stall, I only hope that Wen Niangzi can make an exception, Yan is willing to give five hundred taels of silver, and bother the lady to monopolize this dish." ”
"It's not that the little woman doesn't know what to do, this dish, the ingredients need to be prepared in advance, I'm afraid I can't meet Yan Lang's needs."
"Yan is not begging to be able to taste the food again today, during the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Wen Niangzi should be able to manage the Xiangdi wine banquet, and I am afraid that I will not be able to spare time, so since the Dragon Boat Festival, Yan Mou booked ten days in advance, and Wen Niangzi should be able to be fully prepared."
"This ......"
As long as Wen Niangzi agrees to occasionally cook delicious food for Yan, in addition to the food, Yan can provide Wen Niangzi with sour branches and wood enough to build a set of tables and chairs, a cool couch, two flowers, and a four-sided painting screen?"
Fang Qi was secretly frightened when he heard it, not because of Yan Lang's generosity, but because he was able to vote for Aunt Wen in such a short period of time.
Because of her professional relationship, Aunt Wen is most concerned about the smell of oil and smoke all over her body, so she is extremely addicted to all kinds of spices, and she can only provide Mrs. Wen with the incense and sachets she prepares.
Speaking of which, Fang Qi knew Aunt Wen's preferences, or because of an extremely fortuitous chance, she had this "God-given relationship".
Is this Yan Saburo a monster? How did he find out what Aunt Wen was thinking about within two days?!
But Aunt Wen didn't seem to care how Yan Lang knew her favorite, and when she heard the three words sour branches, she couldn't wait to go straight to the blister kitchen to make a quail crystal in front of Yan Lang, but she said it so that she couldn't be ashamed to take it back immediately, so she had to continue to pretend to be reserved.
"Then it's a deal."
"The wood Yan has been sent to the door, does Mrs. Wen want to ask a craftsman to build it herself, or simply ask Yan to ask someone to build the finished product and send it to the treasure house."
"No, no, how dare you bother Yan Lang, just ask someone to build it herself." Aunt Wen hurriedly said.
You must know that the red sour branch is not a wood that can be bought with money, this is a foreign thing, often after the arrival of the official is the official, first to meet the needs of the official family, and then after the reward of the prince of the clan, there will be a surplus by the official trading market, immediately also by the powerful and high-ranking officials gun bought out, Wen Auntie has a little sister, is a cook in the palace, once rewarded a red sour branch of the spring stool, envy Wen Auntie's eyes are red for more than half a year, stubborn and hard to make the little sister agree to lend her the spring stool to use for three days, or Wen Auntie is afraid of and Fa Xiao turned against each other.
What a temptation is this? It's enough to decorate a room!!
Of course, you have to transport it into your own home first to feel at ease, what if Yan Lang regrets it?!
Yan Chi smiled, not reluctantly, only said: "Sour branches and trees are rare, Yan recognizes a good craftsman, wrote a post and handed it to Wen Niangzi, Wen Niangzi used this post to ask the craftsman to build a set of utensils, so as to guarantee that the good material will not be wasted, this craftsman is also a strange person, if there is no good material, please don't move him to make a move, if there is good material, he will not ask for a price." ”
After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Fangji.
The three masters and servants retracted their heads in fright, and they all fled straight to the private kitchen, or Fang Qi reacted first, and stomped his feet first: Hey, why am I afraid of that Yan family, as if he really became a thief when he looked at me?
August stuck out his tongue and said: "Yan Saburo is obviously polite in front of Aunt Wen, and his gaze is too scary to look at here, and the backbone of the slave and maid is almost frozen by this glance, didn't he find out that we were peeping?" ”
Fang Qi was furious: "Where are we called voyeurism? Is this his home? Is he familiar with Aunt Wen or am I familiar with Aunt Wen? I haven't questioned him about his secret support for my cook's private work! ”
March was even more stupid with fear, and it was estimated that her brains were frozen hard, and she stammered: "Yiguo, country, Gongfu, son, son, son, is Aunt Wen's lover?" ”
August laughed so hard that he almost didn't fall on the stove: "Listening to the conversation between the two, you know that we are thinking nonsense, and you are too timid in March." The Yiguo Mansion is a noble, and their son-in-law visits, Aunt Wen is naturally not good to receive in the side hall, so it is reasonable to invite you to come in and talk. ”
Fang Qi didn't want to theorize about it, but he didn't know that there was a "ding dong" in his head.
The system is shouting: Dear, the main quest has risen by a point, it must have something to do with your goodbye iceberg beauty, hurry up, come on, dear.
The system is very excited Fang Qi but silently wailed, this Yan Saburo's eyes are like a sword to kill people without seeing blood, and he stares at his viscera and all his internal organs are shocked, if he is really the target person, this difficulty is really greater than fighting against his mother-in-law, but when he thinks of the tempting rewards after completing the task, Fang Qi feels that he should be braver-his mother can still control the characters of her life and death, Yan Saburo's eyes are just like to kill people and can't really kill people, although the task is difficult, but the small life is very peaceful.
Fang Qi asked August to go out with her with the plate of cold mixed silver wisps.
Yan Chi had already planned to get up and say goodbye, but when he saw the two masters and servants of Fang Qi coming to the flower pavilion, Aunt Wen, who was originally going to send him out, paused, and he naturally stopped.
It is not a strange thing for the little lady of Xiangdi to appear in her own cook's house, Yan Chi just feels that this person seems to have been seen by him a little too much, and he is sneakily peeping at both times, and this time he seems to be deliberately bumping into him - although seriously speaking, it is a rare thing for him to appear in the house of the chef of Xiangdi, but Qin Sanniang can obviously wait for him to leave and reappear, after eavesdropping on the conversation between him and Aunt Wen, and deliberately brought a plate of dishes to drive him over before leaving, it is really suspected of deliberately attracting his attention.
"What's the condiment?" When Mrs. Wen saw the "work" of the Fang period, she even forgot about the precious red sour branches for the time being.
"Lady taste it first?" Fang Qi smiled and handed over the bowl.
Mrs. Wen hurriedly tasted it, and knew that she still added chili peppers when she tasted it, but she didn't know how to treat the whole chili pepper, and she didn't see the shape of the chili pepper, but the taste was more spicy than the ingredients of the fresh chili cold mix, and the ham was simmered during the fang period, and the fried chicken eggs were shredded and added to the silver wisp for cold mixing, which is an innovative dish, although it is simple, the ingredients are also common, but the color and flavor are complete.
Yan Chi also glanced at the plate of brightly colored dishes, raised his eyebrows, and felt that the food that could be praised by Aunt Wen should not look delicious, but of course he would not also ask for a basket to taste, although he was good food, he was not greedy, knowing that Fang Qi wanted to use food to attract his attention, approaching him must be unintentional, food is a poisonous tool, how could he be fooled if he was as witty?
He still bowed and said, "Yan won't bother much today." ”
Aunt Wen came back to her senses from the amazement, sent the distinguished guests of the Yiguo Mansion out, and by the way, she received the two cars of red sour branches that made her excited, and turned back to the flower pavilion, just as she saw that her nieces had brought up today's lunch dishes, and beckoned Fang Qi to taste them together.
The nieces regarded Aunt Wen as both a parent and a teacher, and they didn't dare to eat at the same table with Aunt Wen, so they stood in the pavilion with their hands down and waited to listen to the evaluation.
Aunt Wen was very dissatisfied: "Although it is still able to eat, it is not difficult to swallow, but it is mediocre and has no peculiarities at all, so you can also be called a cook?" In the homes of the people, the food cooked by the housewives who are quite ingenious is probably not weaker than yours. Yes, I haven't taught you the secret recipe yet, but after learning the art of cooking for so long and tasting all kinds of ingredients and condiments, won't you be able to figure it out? You should strive to be innovative and strive for your own methods to be adopted by the family as a secret recipe. ”
With a wave of his hand, the nieces walked away.
I hesitate to ask how the peppers are processed into this red-colored chili oil.
Fang Qi took the initiative to tell Mrs. Wen the method, plus the pickling method of the bean paste, and said: "The bean paste will have to wait a few days to be pickled, so I will put the lady here first, if I need it, and then ask the lady to put it in an altar and take it to the Xiangdi." ”
Aunt Wen stared at Fang Qi for a while, and shook her head regretfully: "It's a pity that Sanniang is the lady of Xiangdi, otherwise I really want to officially accept you as an apprentice, with your talent, if you engage in the profession of a chef, the achievement will be above me." ”
Fang Qi also felt regretful, to be honest, Xiangdi Lady Xiu's identity is really nothing good, she wants to be a chef, and she is afraid that she will not be able to be comfortable if she earns a lot of money, so why worry about her husband's character, will she be troubled by her mother-in-law, get out of your parents' orders, and this lady will be more chic and happy if she does not marry.
But there are regrets in this world because there is no if, and Fang Qi has not forgotten his true situation: "Lady, I want to learn two dishes, which are Weng Weng and Mrs. Weng's favorite food, and it is good to show my hand at the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, which is also my filial piety to the second elder." ”
Wen Niangzi also knew more or less about Fang Qi's situation in Xiangdi, and after hearing this, she asked more: "What?" Are you looking for another backer? ”
"I regretted it, I didn't want to marry the Peng family again, and I offended the eldest lady to death, so I had to win a little more pity from Weng Weng and the wife."
"Alas, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that a lady like you would live like walking on the tip of a knife, and I used to think that you were all lucky people who didn't know the sorrow of the world, and came to stretch out your hands for food and open your mouth." Aunt Wen sighed, but she didn't ask much about the secrets of the Xiangdi.
Her cooking skills could have been selected into the palace, but she extremely didn't want to participate in those intriguing conspiracies, and she thought that if she was distracted by this kind of thing, it would be difficult to improve her cooking skills.
When Fang Qi first pestered Aunt Wen, Aunt Wen was extremely cautious, but Fang Qi was good at selling miserably, and she was also good at doing what she liked, and she was so smart that she had a clever mouth and a clever mouth, so she couldn't bear to refuse such a poor and ghostly yellow-haired girl for a while, and taught her a few home-cooked dishes, and let her occasionally cook to please her mother and sister.
It's just that Aunt Wen never asks about the secret of the Xiangdi, and all she knows is the three generations of the owner, each of whom has a preference for food.
