Volume 1 Dongchang Yan (Sweet Pet) Chapter 31 Rectify the cook

Seeing Xiao Xiaoshen staring at the sugar cake on the plate with straight eyes and swallowing saliva, Gu Yunxi smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"Go over there and wash your hands, I'll clip a piece for you to eat first!"

"Huh? Is it so much trouble to wash your hands? Xiao Xiaoshen was impatient: "Good sister, I'm a rough person, I eat when I'm hungry and sleep when I'm sleepy." Isn't it just a piece of cake, you can give it to me to eat now! ”

He grabbed one of her arms and shook it around, pleading coquettishly.

Gu Yunxi shook him off, raised his boots and posed as if he was going to kick someone: "Go quickly, why are you so unhygienic!" I have begged my kung fu hand to wash it ten times a long time ago! ”

Xiao Xiaoshen was helpless, so he had to go to the big vat next to him to scoop up a scoop of water and pour it into the hand basin, washing his hands while chattering.

Gu Yunxi supervised behind him and thought he was also quite interesting. Then he found a snack plate and a pair of bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of glutinous rice sugar cake and put it on the food plate, and served it to Xiao Xiaoshen.

"Brother Xiaoshen, thank you for accompanying me all morning. The first piece of chongyang cake, I should salute you first! ”

After coming to Dongchang and following the overseer for some time, Gu Yunxi is now more and more able to speak.

Obviously, he skillfully summoned this four-grade guard with a knife for two hours, and now he offered a piece of glutinous rice sugar cake with his own hands, not only did he not feel tired, but he was embarrassed to get up first, and even sank his face and felt a little resentful:

"Sister Yunxi, why are you so different from me? What kind of friendship do we have? I love to help you! ”

"Okay, good, Brother Xiao Shen is the friendliest!" Gu Yunxi coaxed him sweetly, and smiled secretly in his heart. "Don't talk about it yet, come and try my craft and see if it tastes to your liking!"

After speaking, the plate and chopsticks containing the sugar cake were handed to him again.

"Hey! I eat! ”

Xiao Xiaoshen happily took it, took the sugar cake and sent it to his mouth.

"Hmmm! Delicious! It's really delicious......" Xiao Xiaoshen nodded frequently while chewing, and his expression was still unfinished: "Good sister, reward me with another piece!"

"Okay!"

Gu Yunxi replied happily, took a piece of sugar cake with chopsticks and gave it to him, and sent a piece of sugar cake with a moon flower pattern to the food plate.

"Give! Let you eat enough at once! ”

Xiao Xiaoshen ate all the snacks on the plate in two or three bites, patted his stomach and said with satisfaction:

"Hmmm! I'm so full now! Yunxi, your craftsmanship is so good, if anyone can marry you as a wife......"

He looked at her, "hehe" and smirked.

"Go! Just feed yourself and you're talking nonsense again! ”

Gu Yunxi glanced at him angrily, picked up a plate, sandwiched three pieces of glutinous rice sugar cake and three pieces of flower cake, and picked up a piece of wet cloth soaked in water.

"Brother Xiao Shen, you wait here first, and when I come back, I will divide the sugar cakes of the blockers, and you will take them to the team."

"Then why are you going now?" Xiao Xiaoshen looked at the plate in her hand and asked suspiciously.

Gu Yunxi smiled lightly, shook his head to the courtyard, and said casually: "Go and meet those three cooks."

Gu Yunxi went straight to the corridor in the courtyard. The three cooks were sitting leisurely in the porch, and they saw Gu Yunxi walking towards this side with a plate in his hand, walking lightly. The half of the bare forearm that rolled up his sleeves was also covered with a handkerchief.

"Three seniors, the Chongyang pastry I made by myself came out of the pot, and it was just right to dry, so I specially brought it to the seniors to taste it and put forward some suggestions for improvement."

Walking in front of the three cooks, Gu Yunxi respectfully held the plate with both hands and showed the three of them what was inside.

The three cooks, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look inside the plate, and for a moment no one took the lead in picking up the pastries inside.

"Three seniors, Yun Guan'er doesn't often make these things in the past, today I take advantage of the festival to offer ugliness, Chongyang sugar cake to respect the elders, this is indeed a little bit of my heart."

Gu Yunxi is always smiling, like a spring breeze in March, which makes people feel indescribably comfortable. The eyes of the shearwater are shining, and the slightest light is implied in them.

At that time, Master An couldn't hold it back, took a step forward and picked up the handkerchief on Gu Yunxi's arm to wipe his hands, and immediately pinched a piece of sugar cake.

To be honest, when this Chongyang sugar cake came out of the pot, the aroma of fruit and rice spread to the courtyard, and at that time, Master An wanted to taste this delicacy with his own mouth.

With his many years of pastry experience, he can steam such an attractive aroma, and this person's craftsmanship is completely superb!

The mental activity is extremely rich, but there is a casual expression on the face.

After biting off half of the sugar cake, Master An's face was stunned.

The moment the tooth cuts off the glutinous rice layer, it feels very amazing. The sugar cake is soft and elastic, sweet but not greasy. When the whole sugar cake is swallowed, the unique sweet aroma of the sugar cake lingers between the tip of the tongue and the teeth.

The contemptuous look on Master An's fat face completely vanished, and was replaced by endless shock and surprise.

The suspicious eyes kept looking at the fifteen-year-old Gu Yunxi in front of him, how could he easily believe that this half-grown child would have such talent and technology.

His strange expression attracted the attention of the other two cooks, who picked up a piece of flower cake and a piece of glutinous rice candy cake and tasted it, and then, with the same look as Master An's, both of them were in disbelief.

Gu Yunxi looked at their incredible expressions in his eyes, smiled slightly, and asked:

"If you do something inappropriate, please ask the three seniors to give advice, Yun Guan'er will definitely remember them one by one, and have the opportunity to try again."

"Uh...... The little brother is serious. ”

tasted another piece of pink and sweet rose cake, and Master An was completely convinced at the moment. With more than 10 years of pastry experience, he can make eight or nine of the ingredients, production process and baking heat of a cake, just a few bites.

In the past, the filling of Chongyang sugar cake was nothing more than some red bean paste, mung bean paste or pea filling, but this Yunguan'er is a new idea, taking osmanthus sauce mixed with a small amount of honey, adding dried fruit materials to grind the fine, so that the sweetness of honey and flower sauce and the pure fragrance of fruit are perfectly kneaded.

Looking at the color of the flower cake, you can see that her kneading skills are also impeccable.

The traditional Chongyang flower cake is a kind of Jiangmi dough wrapped in filling, which also needs to be steamed in a drawer.

Master An deliberately scalded the little remaining Jiang rice noodles with boiling water, just to make it difficult for her and make her unable to make anything. Unexpectedly, she actually made local materials, and the flower cake made by replacing Jiangmi noodles with cooked bean noodles is not only beautiful in appearance, but also saves the cumbersome process of steaming and cooking in the drawer.

At such a young age, not only are you skilled, but you also have bold and innovative ideas, which is also rare!

Seeing Gu Yunxi's sincere and humble words, Master An hurriedly waved his hand at her:

"Yun Guan'er, you're welcome. Say a few more words, there is really no place for the old faces of the three of us. ”

If you retreat, then it's time for me to take a step forwardβ€”

Gu Yunxi smiled lightly and talked eloquently:

"Uncle An, I really sincerely ask for advice from your three seniors. In terms of seniority, you are all the elders of Yun Guan'er, and you are also the chefs who have officially studied the art of the Eight Classics. When I came to Dongchang, my main task was to serve the Overseer, and cooking was nothing more than a personal preference, to pass the free time, but I never thought about making a living from it in the future, let alone relying on it to go high and low, and take a way to eat and make a living......"

Gu Yunxi paused deliberately, her gaze quietly shifted, and she secretly lingered on the gloomy faces of the three cooks, she only felt extremely ridiculous.

Leisurely and relaxed, he continued:

"Originally, I didn't think of this South Courtyard's home, and there were some things I shouldn't ask. It's just that this morning I found that there was a pot of Jiang rice noodles that could not be used, and I had no choice but to pour it out of my own hands, and Zhenzhen'er was distressed. That pot of noodles has three catties to say the least, if it is changed to a famine year, three catties of river rice noodles can be boiled for more than a dozen people for a day! ”

Yu Feng gradually became sharper, and the essence of his eyes was like a glow, mercilessly projecting onto the three cooks, pushing them to nowhere to hide.

"Oh, the little brother has something to say, something to say......"

Master An's momentum was not as good as Fang Cai's, like a frosted eggplant, and he kept nodding to Gu Yunxi, and the two cooks next to him also gave her a hand.

"Uncle An is old and confused, thinking that he will help you make peace in the morning, but who knows that he hurriedly carried the boiling water on the fire and mixed it into the basin. If you don't say it, I can barely think of it......"

Master An smiled awkwardly, lying about his humble behavior in Gu Yunxi's forced gaze.

"You are also a famous chef, how can you cherish food more than me, a nobody, understand the preciousness of ingredients, this is where the spirit of the esophagus lies, isn't it?" Gu Yunxi stared at him with a sharp gaze.

"Yes, that'......s right," Master An bowed his back in response, and the back of his hand kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. So far, he has really admitted it.

"I believe that you are indeed unintentional, but although my master is the palm seal of the palace celebrant, he does not like to waste extravagance. If he knew that the people in his yard had broken the rules he had set first, the punishment would have been light......

"We know we were wrong! Little brother, don't, don't ......"

The three cooks panicked and hurriedly gave up their hands to bother.

Gu Yunxi smiled, his sharp eyes like dragonflies dotting water, fluttering lightly over their funny faces.

"Good! Forget it this time......"

When the cooks heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"But......

Gu Yunxi raised his head proudly, picked his lips and smiled.

But?

The three cooks who had just felt relaxed were in a tight mood again at this moment, looking at Gu Yunxi one by one, putting on an impatient bitter gourd face.

"But as soon as I have some free time, each of you must teach me how to cook a dish!"

The cooks were stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement:

"Well said! Say! We will do our best to teach it to the best of our ability! ”

"Yes, yes! As long as we can, we will teach you whatever the little brother wants to learn! ”

At the moment, all three cooks are acting respectfully.

Seeing that this Yun Guan'er is small, docile and cowardly, I didn't expect it to be quite scheming. Two hours before and after, a plate of sugar cakes, and a conversation and laughter, the three of them who were used to digging holes were easily led into the trap she set.

Don't be a man! In the future, he must not be perfunctory at will-

"It's decided! The three masters of the flower cake continued to eat, and I went to get busy first! ”

Gu Yunxi smiled flutteringly again, put the plate in the corridor, and turned into the small kitchen.

She always smiled throughout the whole process, neither humble nor arrogant, and her tone was moderate.

Xiao Xiaoshen sat in the kitchen, leaning back and laughing.

"Oh my sister, I was an eye-opener today. I really live up to the fact that the Overseer has personally taken you for more than two months, and now you are really sharp-tongued and talking. ”

"I can't help it. When we came in in the morning, you also saw that there was a clear pot and a cold stove here, and it was not easy to do anything. Thanks to you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat well, but you would have to be laughed at by those three people! Thank you, Brother Shen, you are so nice! ”

The heartfelt praise and sweet smile made Xiao Xiaoshen feel a little excited, and he had the courage to lean into her ear and asked in a low voice:

"I'll go back to Master Cheng Ming'er and marry you home as my wife, how about it?"

Gu Yunxi was putting the flower cake decorated with a wooden rhino on a plate, and when he heard his voice, he immediately turned red, threw his chopsticks and said to him:

"Who wants to marry you! Grab some snacks and let's goβ€”"

The rectangular tray with two rows of flower cakes and sugar cakes was put into Xiao Xiaoshen's hand, and Gu Yunxi immediately issued an order to evict customers.

"Hey! How old are you and you are not married, is it possible that you want to eat and drink for nothing in Dongchang for the rest of your life! ”

Xiao Xiaoshen stood still holding the plate, deliberately teasing her.

"You didn't open the East Factory, who do you care I eat, I won't eat you! Let's goβ€”"

Turning behind Xiao Xiaoshen, Gu Yunxi raised his hand and pushed him on his back to push him out of the kitchen.

"Wait! I'm going to put a wood rhinoceros flower cake! ”

Xiao Xiaoshen's fingers were placed by Gu Yunxi alone in the ice cracked lotus petal round saucer, and three pieces of flower cakes decorated with wood rhinoceros were placed.

"I won't give you those three pieces!"

"Eccentricity! You don't know who those are forβ€”"

One sentence made Gu Yunxi even more embarrassed, and directly pushed the poor-mouthed Xiao Xiaoshen out of the kitchen and then made up for his buttocks, pouting angrily and throwing out two words:

"Get out of here!"
