Chapter 101 The rest of the flowers and plants are still arranged by the young master
Yin Ling left behind her melancholy and tried her best to solve problems for her master: "But didn't the county lord of Yun'an taste her mother's craftsmanship when she was a child?" Why don't you go to the Marquis Mansion of Naqi Mountain for you and ask if there is a way to see if the Lord of Yun'an has a way? ”
Mr. Xu shook his head a little helplessly and said: "The teacher has already asked Mrs. Qishanhou to ask, but she said that the county lord of Yun'an has been wandering outside for many years, and he has long forgotten his mother's craftsmanship, and there is no way!" ”
No way? As soon as she heard this, Yin Ling was a little puzzled: she was a daughter, how could she watch her father beg so much on the sickbed, and only coldly said 'no way'?
However, the affairs in the mansions of those rich and noble families are not something that she, an outsider, can manage, and the most important thing at the moment is how to solve this confusion for her master.
The master and apprentice thought of all the ideas they could think of, but none of them could be used.
Yes, the two of them were speechless for a while, but after being silent for a while, Mr. Xu suddenly said: "Why don't you go directly to inquire about the dim sum shop in the city, and buy all the rose cakes for Qi Shanhou to taste!" ”
A dim sum shop? How familiar do these three words sound at first glance? Yin Ling thought about it again, and then suddenly remembered that when she was discussing with Luo Qinghe that day, Luo Qinghe also mentioned that her family used to open a dim sum shop, but since she can also have such a dexterous mind, then maybe she will have a way to deal with this rose cake?
No way! Halfway through the thought, Yin Ling hurriedly shook his head and suppressed this thought, since he was so dissatisfied with Luo Qinghe, how could he bow his head and beg her now?
"You say... Is it possible that Qi Shanhou is tired of eating the food made by these palace chefs with only the best ingredients and craftsmanship, but he misses the ordinary taste he tasted in ordinary people's homes back then? Why don't you try to use the simplest ingredients and craftsmanship to make some ordinary rose cakes that can be eaten by any ordinary person inside and outside Guangling County? ”
Mr. Xu glanced at Yin Ling with appreciation, and said with a smile: "This is also a good way!" But didn't you always believe in cooking the best ingredients with the best craftsmanship? How can you be so flexible now? ”
Yin Ling was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly found that she was still unwilling to bow her head when she swore that day, but at this time, she inadvertently took out the theory that Luo Qinghe persuaded her that day and used it? But if you think about it carefully, Luo Qinghe's words are indeed very reasonable! In this world, not only the feast is delicious, but also the food that ordinary people can enjoy is also what they chefs should pay attention to!
Looking at his apprentice, who had made great progress, Mr. Xu nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Since you came up with this idea, then the rose cake for Qi Shanhou will be completed by you personally!" ”
After Fang Fang Shaoze dispersed the banquet, when he returned to Qintao Street in a carriage, he saw warm yellow candlelight in the kitchen next to the attic from a distance, and the oily and slippery Laifu was lying bored at the door to dry his stomach.
As soon as he saw Fang Shaoze coming, the lazy Laifu barely hummed a few words, which could be regarded as a greeting.
As soon as Fang Shaoze saw this situation, he knew that Luo Qinghe must be tossing in the kitchen again, so he chuckled and asked aloud, "Qinghe, what novelty are you thinking about?" ”
But Luo Qinghe didn't have time to deal with Fang Shaoze at this time, so he just stayed in front of the stove and boiled the soup in a casserole.
She also smelled the delicious and unusual taste in Yin Ling's casserole that day, so Luo Qinghe was also very dissatisfied with the ingredients today, trying to make a soup that was better than Yin Ling's craftsmanship.
Looking at her appearance of forgetting to sleep and eat, Fang Shaoze sighed lightly and took out a square oil-paper bag from his arms: "I heard that the osmanthus in the Marquis of Qishan Mansion is the best in Guangling, so I took some of their mannamon shortbread back for you to taste!" ”
Although Fang Shaoze was very tempted, in the end, he was not familiar with the Marquis of Qishan, so he was not embarrassed to let his subordinates pick up those dangui for Luo Qinghe. However, although I didn't bring back the flowers, the shortbread made of osmanthus is also worth trying.
Luo Qinghe, who hadn't had the heart to deal with Fang Shaoze, suddenly smelled the sweet fragrance of cinnamon on the end of his nose, so he swallowed his saliva and put on a smiling face and came over.
Coming over with her was also the laifu who was lying at the kitchen door drying his stomach just now, this little guy also learned from the master to change Fang Cai's lazy and unwilling to look up, and was holding his little short legs and pulling the hem of Fang Shaoze's clothes.
"Humph! Profiteering guys! Fang Shaoze withdrew his leg with some disgust, but when he looked up again to face Luo Qinghe, who was also ignoring him just now, he had a different face: "Give you a taste!" I heard that the cinnamon of the Hou family of Qishan was sealed in a porcelain jar, and the cinnamon honey was pickled together for five years before it was taken out and used! ”
Taking the pastry in Fang Shaoze's hand, Luo Qinghe suddenly said when he heard this: "Hey, this method can also be used by me!" ”
But the world is big, and the food is the biggest! At this moment, Luo Qinghe couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly broke off a piece of the cinnamon shortbread and put it in his mouth, and tasted the taste carefully: "I have also eaten this cinnamon-flavored thing before, but the taste is always one layer worse than this dangui shortbread, what ingredients do you think the chef in the Qishan Marquis Mansion added to this cake?" ”
"That's the secret recipe of other people's cooks, how would I know it?" Fang Shaoze smiled, looking at Luo Qinghe's single-minded appearance of eating cakes, and didn't want to disturb her anymore: "You eat first, I'm tired for a day and go back to the house to wash up!" ”
Since taking over Boning, Fang Shaoze has not been stumped by those trivial accounts and endless housework for a long time.
This Boning's ability to do things is simply unexpectedly good! Since the day of the fight, after discussing the division of labor with Fang Shaoze, Bo Ning put the good account book on Fang Shaoze's desk every evening, and also explained all the housework in the courtyard today's in a very orderly manner, and Fang Shaoze only needed to make a decision.
Unable to wash up, Fang Shaoze sat at the table and read today's account books carefully, and just wanted to call Bo Ning to come over and ask again, but saw that this right-hand man had already gotten the news and came to report the situation to himself.
"Young Master Fang, the flower hall in the front yard has almost been repaired today, do you want to go and inspect it?"
"Good!" Fang Shaoze was very happy and readily agreed.
Following Bo Ning to the flower hall, Fang Shaoze had already seen that the flower hall that was still a little dirty two days ago had been repaired according to the plan of that day, and the ebony columns around were covered with smoke-blue gauze tents, and thin bamboo soft curtains were installed outside the gauze tent.
Bo Ning explained the situation to Fang Shaoze one by one: "Young master, after installing the gauze curtain that day, we found that it could not be windproof, so we went to purchase a batch of soft curtains made of thin bamboo strips to install outside, if the soft curtain is put down, the flower hall will be no different from the interior!" And when the time comes, the young master can also paint some danqing on the thin bamboo soft curtain, or mention some pairs, and see from a distance that this place is also an elegant place to drink wine and chant poetry! ”
As he spoke, Bo Ning pointed to the cleared land around the flower hall and said, "When the time comes, we are going to plant a circle of geraniums on the inside, so that there will be no mosquitoes near the flower hall in summer, and the remaining flowers and plants will be arranged by the young master!" ”
Fang Shaoze patted Bo Ning on the shoulder, and seemed to appreciate his arrangement, but Bo Ning was a little embarrassed: "But since this flower hall is used for drinking parties, then we should prepare a few rooms in the courtyard." But I've been discussing with my friends for the past few days, even if I don't need anything else, but those bamboo mats, bedding, pillows and quilts are all necessary, and according to the cash in our house, it may be a little difficult..."
Fang Shaoze said very generously: "I still have some here." The 1,500 taels of silver tickets that Fang Shaojin stuffed to him when he left that day were pressed at the bottom of the box by Fang Shaoze in case of emergency.
But Bo Ning shook his head and said, "I didn't say this to let the young master give out the money, but to say that according to your current situation, it may not be bad to be in the courtyard if it is simpler!" After all, everyone knows that you leave home alone to make a living, so naturally you will not be dissatisfied because of the poor conditions in the house, and if you live too comfortably, it will cause people to talk! So, you can prepare a little bit for this room. ”
Good intentions! Fang Shaoze couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Okay, then that's it!" ”
"Young master, there is one more thing ......" Bo Ning hesitated for a long time before he pulled out Fang Cai Luo Qinghe from his arms with an embarrassed face, and said a few words to Fang Shaoze in a low voice.
Fang Shaoze didn't move when he heard this, but nodded and asked Bo Ning to go down and do something else.
Turning around and going to the kitchen, it happened that Luo Qinghe also brought out a cake that was exactly the same as the dish Yin Ling made that day, and when he saw Fang Shaoze coming in, he hurriedly stuffed a piece into his mouth and said, "Is it delicious?" ”
"It's delicious."
Luo Qinghe's expression froze: "Is there a meat egg roll delicious?" ”
"Nope."
The surging desire to survive made Fang Shaoze react very quickly, knowing that seeing the light in Luo Qinghe's eyes light up again, Fang Shaoze breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Luo Qinghe looked happy, he didn't believe Fang Shaoze's nonsense in his heart, everyone knew that the hard work was delicious!
But Fang Shaoze's blatant bias still moved Luo Qinghe a little: "Did you come to me for something?" ”
After thinking about it and thinking about it, Fang Shaoze licked his dry lips, but in the end he couldn't bear to take out the recipe that Fang Cai Boning handed over to him, but said softly: "I think... You and I may not be able to do much on the day of the housewarming feast, so I would like to ask a better cook to help. ”
Fang Bo Ning felt embarrassed that Luo Qinghe's dishes were all snacks, and it was no problem for ordinary friends to bring out the wine when they gathered, but after all, this was a serious housewarming banquet, and the people to be entertained were all the sons of the family who had seen the world and the picky Yang Tong and his colleagues. Although Yang Tong had already said that it was good to be simple, Bo Ning felt that Fang Shaoze, as the host, could not be rude and slack in front of the guests.
But when he saw Fang Shaoze's stammering and didn't dare to look at himself, Luo Qinghe was relieved, but he was also very understanding and generous: "I was about to discuss this matter with you, the banquet is too big for me to withstand alone!" Why don't you order someone to go to Zuixiao Tower in a while and ask Boss Xu to borrow someone! ”
However, when it came to Boss Xu, Luo Qinghe remembered the begging boy with a sensitive sense of taste and tricky taste: If he helped him taste the taste, then he was worried that this craft could not be developed?
With a happy face, Luo Qinghe jumped up violently and stopped Fang Shaoze, and said, "Wait a while, it just so happens that I have something to go out, so leave Boss Xu's affairs to me!" ”
