The Yang family's kitchen, large and small, has more than a dozen, which has to provide two meals a day for thousands of people in the Yang family's mansion.

The kitchen in Yang Xiu's room is much larger than the courtyard of ordinary people.

Zhang Wang often sells his talent in the mansion, and the cooks occasionally go to join in the fun, so there are not a few people who know him.

When the fat kitchen steward saw Zhang Wang's first sight, he even jumped over, like a fat white rabbit.

In his eyes, Zhang Forget is like a fortune boy, serve him well, and worry about not having a chance to make money?

Zhang Forgot to explain his intentions, and the kitchen manager was suddenly a little unhappy.

What? Do you want to cook your own meals?

Ancestor, alas, aren't you smashing my job? The main thing at home is to know that the guests cook their own meals, and I am watching from the sidelines, and I must not be whipped ten times and then kicked out of the house?

Zhang Forget didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and kicked him on the ass: "Come back in half an hour, I'll teach you how to cook the same food." ”

Hearing Zhang Wang's promise to teach himself a cooking craft, the kitchen steward's refusal to obey turned into a song in an instant.

He pushed and shoved, and even deceived and drove all the other cooks and cooks to the courtyard, leaving Zhang Forget and Diao Chan with an empty kitchen.

Zhang Wang stood in the kitchen, looked at the dazzling array of ingredients at random, and picked up a can of goat's milk.

Diao Chan often asks for food on the street, long-term fullness, not eating well, stomach needs to be carefully regulated, it is better to eat some things that nourish blood and qi.

When Diao Chan entered the kitchen, it was like a fox entering a chicken coop, his eyes were rolling, his stomach was gurgling, and he was almost drooling.

Taking advantage of Zhang Wang's inattention, she picked up something that seemed delicious and stuffed it into her mouth, almost knocking her teeth down.

Zhang Forget turned his head and saw Diao Chan holding a colorful shell in his hand, looking at him with tears in his eyes, and he was a little speechless.

The children who grew up in Xinzhou haven't even seen shells?

He poured a can of goat's milk into the bronze tripod and called Diao Chan to come over to help heat the fire, while he himself took a copper spoon and looked around for caramel sugar.

As far back as the Western Zhou Dynasty, China had caramel sugar. Caramel is made of rice and malt, which is boiled by saccharification, and is viscous, commonly known as maltose.

Since the creation of the Western Zhou Dynasty, caramel has been widely spread and widely eaten in China. In the history books from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, there are records of the consumption and production of starch sugar.

Huayin Yang is a hundred-year-old family, and there have been people in the court in the past dynasties, such as three princes and nine kings, sauce, vinegar, oil, tea, sugar and other condiments, which should be readily available in the kitchen.

Zhang forgot to look at the seasoning, and finally found the syrup in a clay pot. The syrup is the juice obtained from sugar cane, and the sweetness is much stronger than that of starch syrup.

Pouring a spoonful of syrup into the goat's milk that Diao Chan was cooking, Zhang Forget took a piece of ginger and cut it into fine pieces with a knife.

He then wrapped the chopped ginger in two layers of linen, squeezed out the fresh ginger juice, and poured it into a clay bowl.

Seeing that the goat's milk boiled by Diao Chan had begun to get hot, Zhang Forget scooped out a scoop of goat milk, dried it slightly, and poured it into a clay bowl with ginger juice.

Using another clay bowl to cover the clay pot containing goat's milk, Zhang forgot to find yams, red dates and honey, threw them into the bronze kettle, and began to cook rice porridge for Diao Chan to replenish qi and blood.

In between boiling porridge, Diao Chan looked at the bronze kettle, smelled the aroma of rice that was gradually coming, and kept swallowing saliva.

Zhang Forget waited for a while, smiled and said to Diao Chan: "Diao Chan, watch me make a trick for you." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the clay bowl that covered the goat's milk.

Diao Chan glanced into the pottery bowl, and his eyes widened for a moment.

The goat's milk, which she had cooked herself, was gone, replaced by a bowl of white, soft, creamy, creamy stuff.

Zhang Forget took a wooden spoon, put it in a clay bowl, and handed it to Diao Chan: "Try the ginger milk I made especially for you, this is a good thing to dispel cold and nourish the stomach, nourish blood and qi, nourish beauty and beauty, and relieve cough and sleep." ”

Diao Chan looked at Zhang Forget without blinking, and his eyes were a little moist. When was the last time someone made something for themselves to eat?

Zhang Forget was not very accustomed to this sensational picture, and pretended to urge casually: "Hurry up, it's not delicious if it's cold." ”

Diao Chan made a dull "um" in his nasal voice, and lowered his head to taste the bowl of deliciousness.

The ginger milk is extremely smooth and tender, almost melts in the mouth, and the sweet and delicious taste with a hint of spicy taste has never been tasted in Diao Chan's life.

She ate all the ginger milk in the bowl in one go, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief, revealing an expression of great enjoyment.

Zhang Wu didn't ask her if it was delicious, because it was just nonsense.

Diao Chan handed the empty pottery bowl to Zhang Wang, and said domineeringly: "Another bowl." ”

Zhang Forget didn't take the bowl, and said with a smile: "I'll teach you how to do it, okay?" Go back to Luoyang, find your parents, and let them try your craft too. ”

Diao Chan stared at Zhang Wang's eyes for a while, then bit his lip and said, "I'll accompany you to Liangzhou to find that great sage first, and then we'll take him to Luoyang together." With him as your helper, you won't work so hard alone. ”

"I've already met Mr. Jia Xu, so don't go to Liangzhou." Zhang Wangxiao smiled and touched her little head: "Let's go to Luoyang, on the one hand, to help you find your parents and reunite you with your family; On the other hand, I want to brush up my prestige in that place and make myself famous all over the world. ”

"Prestige?"

"Yes, prestige! In other words, do something that makes the people support, the scholars admire, the court looks sideways, and the world shakes. ”

Diao Chan nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "You taught the people the method of making vinegar for free, are you brushing up your reputation?" ”

Seeing that Diao Chan was so smart, Zhang Forget couldn't help laughing: "That's right, tomorrow we will try our luck and brush up on our reputation in Huayin County to see how it works." ”

taught Diao Chan how to make "ginger hitting milk", and let her drink a big bowl of rice porridge that nourishes blood and qi, and Zhang Wang's little hand returned to his small courtyard.

The kitchen steward watched them go away, with a look of resentment.

Xiao Langjun, didn't you say that you wanted to teach me a cooking craft, why did you forget?

After returning to the small courtyard where he lived and arranging Diao Chan to sleep, Zhang Forget decided to say goodbye to Yang Li.

His life was saved by others, and before leaving Huayin, he should repay the grace of saving his life no matter what.

If good people are not rewarded, who in the world is still good people?

Zhang forgets Zhang Huaixi, and he will repay his kindness.

Jia Xu lit an oil lamp in the guest room to read, but he couldn't read it.

Zhang Wang's admiration and praise for him appeared in his mind again and again, and this kind of admiration from the bottom of his heart made him hard-hearted and unmoved.

Throwing away the absurd idea of wanting to dominate the world, that young man is still quite likable.

With a sigh, Jia Xu threw the scroll on the case and decided to go to Zhang Wang to talk about it.

A son of the Han family who is full of poetry and books, if he does not chase the world, it is not difficult to want to be rich and noble for a lifetime.

Zhang Wangzheng walked in the direction of Yang's study, and after walking a short distance, he saw Jia Xu who came with a negative hand.

The two people who walked with their hands in their hands glanced at each other, and both lowered their hands unnaturally from behind them.

Jia Xu pouted secretly, and said in his heart that I was pretentious when I was old, why did you have to pretend at a young age?

Zhang forgot to pretend when he should pretend, and when he shouldn't, he can immediately put down his dignity.

He trotted all the way to Jia Xu, bowed down, and smiled very brightly: "The night is long, I have no intention of sleeping, I thought that only I knew how to appreciate the beauty of this midsummer moonlight, but I didn't expect that Mr. was also a fellow traveler." ”

Jia Xu looked at his almost flattering smile, and his heart was amused and moved.

If you are yourself, no matter how much you admire someone, you can't let go of your dignity like this.

Just from the point of being thick-skinned, Zhang Forget is qualified to harm the world.

Helping Zhang Wang, who had completed the ceremony, Jia Xu's heart as solid as iron suddenly softened.

What he wants to do, let him do it, when he is young and not reckless, when will he wait?

He's not ruthless enough, so what? There are ruthless people in the world. The person who is high above never needs to be an all-rounder, as long as he can use people.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu put his hands behind his back, and Shi Shiran went back to his room to sleep.

The days to come are still long, and you can slowly play with him when you have enough spirit.
