After Luo Qinghe left, the chef went home after arranging the inside and outside of the Fang family's back kitchen.

"Mother! You're back, I've got all the food ready. Seeing her come back, the daughter-in-law of the cook came up with her stomach and said softly.

"Hmm." The chef responded lightly, but did not move. Her daughter-in-law's eyesight was very fast, and she quickly poured a cup of hot tea and gently placed it in her hand.

The chef was satisfied, Shi Shiran sat down, picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

But she knew very well in her heart that the reason why this daughter-in-law served her without complaint was because she could get back a lot of silver for the family every month.

"Are you feeling better today? What about at home? ”

"My body is much better, thanks to the dragon horn san you brought back, I eat it every day, and the acid reflux problem in my stomach is indeed much better." The daughter-in-law said respectfully:

"By the way, mother, the Li Junjia sent you this month's interest."

The daughter-in-law took out a bag of silver as she spoke, and said, "But this matter accidentally let Ah Qing see it, and I was afraid that he would squander it, so I used the excuse that someone else sent it to pay off the debt." ”

"Well said, Aqing's child has not spent money lightly or heavily since he was a child, and this silver must not be placed in his hands." The chef nodded in agreement, but suddenly yawned and looked tired.

Seeing this, the daughter-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed her shoulder, and said with concern: "Why are you so tired today?" Is Aunt Zhou doing something again! ”

"She is really a person, relying on the friendship between the two elders to rely on you for everything, and you have not thought much about her over the years! But Aunt Zhou's two troubles in three days are really unpleasant. Just like last time, she was greedy for people to take things cheaply, and promised to do things for others, but it turned out that it hasn't been done for a long time! Didn't the words that came to our house a few days ago mean that they were waiting for us to do it for her! ”

When it comes to Aunt Zhou, the daughter-in-law is as disgusting as eating a fly.

"Yes, Yueniang's business is that Aunt Zhou didn't do it well, which made the second lady so angry...... But Aunt Zhou is actually a loyal person...... "The chef still spoke to Aunt Zhou."

As soon as she heard this, her daughter-in-law was not happy, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, looking at Luoquan Town, which of those people who want to climb up to you is not only a promise, and they will go to great lengths to give you benefits?!" It's like Aunt Zhou, who will only look for trouble all day long! ”

The daughter-in-law's words, the chef and the mother agreed with it:

Originally, Aunt Zhou was brought with her to cultivate a right-hand man, but unexpectedly, that person was lazy and lazy, and she was looking for fault everywhere like a fighting every day.

Just like Fang Cai, Luo Qinghe's intention to improve dim sum was not a big deal, but Aunt Zhou just had to taunt her a few words, which made many people in the kitchen dissatisfied with her.

The chef did her best for Aunt Zhou at home, but at this moment, the Wang family was very busy one by one - busy studying how to improve the taste of Huaxin Xuan Cake

Luo Qinghe sat at the table and opened the jar that had just stuffed the ink into her hand and saw that it was a jar of honey!

The taste of white sugar in this era is not good, if you directly add stone fish maw, it will cover the fresh fruit and fragrance; And honey originally has its own aroma, if it can really be used well, it must complement each other.

But the amount of honey at the moment is small, and Luo Qinghe came to the conclusion after some research with the shopkeeper Wang:

This honey is a rare object, although the taste is good but the sweetness is not enough, this small half can barrel can not make a few flower cakes, and if you put honey directly, I am afraid that the frozen will be a little whitish, not translucent and clear color.

"I used to get some honey when our family opened a dim sum shop, and your grandfather used it to make some pastries! However, this honey is only suitable for smearing on the outside, and if it is mixed into pastries, the taste will be too faint to taste, so ah, this honey is not worth mixing into the ingredients. The king's shopkeeper wisped his beard and analyzed.

"Say it like you know so much! It's just a little bit of it many years ago, so don't let that good thing go to waste! Aunt Wang said angrily.

"I've been making dim sum for so many years, how can I fail so easily!" The shopkeeper Wang was very unconvinced.

Yueniang, who had rested for two days, looked much better, and snuggled on the side of the bed and said with a smile: "Yes, Dad, you haven't made dim sum for many years, I'm afraid you've already given birth to your hands!" ”

"Hand raw? I have made dim sum all my life, and how brilliant the Wangjia dim sum shop was back then! Even if I have been retired for many years, looking at Luoquan Town, there are few people who can compare to me! What is honey! You know how that came about! ”

Seeing that he couldn't prove himself in terms of craftsmanship, the shopkeeper wanted to hook up with everyone's taste with some novel stories, so as to appear to be well-informed.

Sure enough, seeing the surprise on the faces of the Wang family, the shopkeeper Wang said triumphantly:

"I've heard people say in the past that honey is collected little by little by people in the mountains and at the risk of their lives, and if you are not careful, you will be stung by wild bees..."

"I tell you, when they collect honey, they take home a whole hive of that size, and then scrape the things there little by little with a scraper, and they have to be careful not to attract ants or get wet when preserving it...... Also, in fact, scrape the remaining layer of white honeycomb wax, chewing is sweet! The shopkeeper Wang said and smashed his mouth.

When Aunt Wang heard this, she was about to question whether the shopkeeper Wang was making it up, but Luo Qinghe was surprised and said, "I didn't know that honey was such a strange thing!" ”

"Not really! If you don't believe it, you can ask your grandfather to take you to a shop in town that sells gifts. Aunt Wang saw Luo Qinghe's infatuated face, thinking that she felt novel when she saw this thing, so she doted on her.

"What are you going to do there? There is an old man in our village who used to collect honey, and if you ask him, you can get it. The shopkeeper pouted.

As soon as she heard this, Luo Qinghe had a plan in her heart: in modern society, you can buy honey in any supermarket you walk, and she never thought that this would be a rare object.

"Grandpa, listen to what you mean, the biggest danger of picking honey is being stung by bees, I may have a way to solve this, one day you will take me to try!"

"Try?! The wild bees are very fierce, some of them are poisonous, if they are stung, the ordinary Lang Zhong will not be cured! Shopkeeper Wang felt that Luo Qinghe was simply whimsical, and smiled and refused.

But Luo Qinghe recognized it really: "Grandpa, just let me try it!" ”

"What to try?" As soon as she heard that picking honey was very dangerous, Yueniang first worried: "You are a good girl's family, the injury you suffered some time ago has just recovered, what are you going out for?" ”

"Mother~ Why don't you even support me? Later, if I really pick honey, you will know how good I am! ”

Looking at Luo Qinghe with a disapprehensive expression, frowning and pouting, the second elder of the Wang family and Yueniang felt that she was cute and tight.

"Nian, this is Chinese New Year's Eve soon, I heard that people say that burning incense and praying to the Bodhisattva at this time is the most spiritual, can you talk to the Fang family, promise you half a day's effort, grandma so that you can take you to the temple?"

Usually, in order to show that they are sympathetic to their subordinates, large families will give a few days off to their subordinates who have not signed a deed of sale during the Chinese New Year. Besides, the Fang family doesn't need me as a novice for the New Year, even if I ask for leave, I will lose two days of salary at most, and the reward I get in the Fang Mansion can completely make up for the money I earned in those two days...... Luo Qinghe analyzed it carefully and said, "I guess it's okay, at most let him deduct some wages!" ”

"Hmm..."Hearing her say this, the shopkeeper Wang nodded, and seemed to agree.

"But..."The shopkeeper looked at the other three for the first time, and stopped talking.

"You old man has always been outspoken, what can you say that you dare not say?" It is said that husband and wife know each other best, and when Aunt Wang saw the shopkeeper like this, she knew that he had something to say: "What's the matter?" Miss your son and grandson? ”

"The grandson just urinates when he is old, what does Wang Dong's beast have to think!" Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper cleared his throat in embarrassment and said:

"I'm just thinking, when this Huaxin Xuan cake is really improved tomorrow, Mr. Zhao is satisfied with it, and I want to ask about the specific recipe, should we tell him?"

"Of course I won't say it! The reason why Mr. Zhao is willing to stay is because he loves to eat this bite, if everyone knows this secret formula, what will I use to gain a foothold in Fang Mansion in the future? ”

"Besides, even if I give him this recipe and recipe from beginning to end, this dark cake is not something he can make if he wants to!"

"Besides, the honey was given by the young master, if the second lady knows that the young master helped us, maybe there will be something wrong again!" Luo Qinghe subconsciously refused, and said like a cannon:

"The people in this deep house compound have always been waiting to catch other people's handles, those people don't work hard all day long, they know the endless intrigues, so we should have the attitude that more things are better than less, and don't want to make more incidents."

The shopkeeper Wang also agreed with this, nodded approvingly and said mysteriously: "Nannan, if you really succeed in improving this Xuan Cake, don't rush to send it to the Fang family!" You should hang their appetite for two days first, so that he can eat it when he can't think about it, so that they can not only cherish your snack more, but also show that you have been working hard these days. ”

As soon as the shopkeeper Wang's voice fell, Luo Qinghe smiled in his heart: It seems that this shopkeeper Wang is not a simple character, with such a family heirloom scheming and character, presumably the main owner of this body will live a wishful life no matter where he is!

Time flies.

In the past few days, when Luo Qinghe was working in the Fang family, he had always set up a miserable persona, and he sat in front of the stove with a bitter face every day.

Everyone in the kitchen thought that she couldn't think of how to make a snack that satisfied Mr. Zhao, and she was afraid of being punished by the second lady, so they were very sympathetic to her, and often whispered behind her back:

"If the dim sum can't be made, this girl will probably be blamed by the second lady, or even kicked out of the Fang Mansion...... Their family was already very poor, and if they were really kicked out, how would they make a living? ”

In this non-stop chatter every day, the people in the back kitchen gradually changed their attitude of alienation and defense, and became more and more friendly and concerned about Luo Qinghe.

Not only that, Luo Qinghe's appearance of being silent that day made Aunt Zhou, who was like a fighting all day long, lose a trace of fighting spirit.

After all, she is also an elder, if she can't get along with Luo Qinghe again, it seems that she has no adult talent, and Aunt Zhou has nowhere to vent, so she can only shrink aside in a gloomy mood.

However, the young master of the Fang family has not been idle in the past few days.

Seeing that there was no movement after the honey was delivered to Luo Qinghe, the young master of the Fang family thought that Luo Qinghe had not succeeded, so he sent the little servant to give Luo Qinghe all the ingredients that might add some flavor to the dim sum, such as cane sugar, sugar cane, beets, and even sour dates, green plums, etc.

Luo Qinghe knew in his heart that the young master of the Fang family was in a hurry, but he was not 100% sure on his side, and he really didn't dare to give him any explanation easily, so he could only go silently

But thanks to the blessing of those things, the Wang family has not eaten less snacks these days.
