There was a strange fragrance from the Saijia compound this morning, and the people in the courtyard couldn't help but swallow their saliva from a long distance.

The maid who had been probing the wind in the past walked over step by step, and a group of subordinates all surrounded him.

"What's the situation?"

"What the hell did you say?"

"What did the cook make? How does it smell so good? ”

Thinking of the situation in front of Xia Shang, the maid was bored for a while, waved her hand, and said impatiently: "Hey, don't ask!" Didn't say anything, didn't pay any attention to me at all! ”

"What? Sister's figure, he didn't even pay attention to you? ”

The maid twisted her body angrily: "Hmph, can people be the same as us?" The nostrils of those who serve their masters are open on the top of their heads! ”

"What are you talking about?!"

A voice came, and everyone dispersed, shouting respectfully: "Sister Sangsang." ”

"Do your job! Is it too little work? ”

No one said any more, and they all went back to their places.

Sang Sang is yesterday's tasting girl, and she is also the leading maid of the Sai family, her status is second only to the housekeeper, and she is also a character who can interject casually in front of the three ladies of the Sai family.

Sang Sang was annoyed when he looked at the people talking to each other, and suddenly a rich smell of meat came, and his attention was immediately attracted.

Soon the fire was extinguished at the kitchen door.

Xia Shang was squatting to the side and guarding, not knowing what was going on, but the smell of meat seemed to come from the fire he was guarding.

"Xia Shang, what are you doing?"

"Sister Sangsang, I'm cooking! Didn't the eldest lady say yesterday that she wanted me to prepare a bowl of chicken soup for her? That's it. ”

"Are you in the ** soup?" Sang Sang's eyes widened, "You are clearly a pile of charcoal!" Where did the chicken soup come from? ”

"Sister Sangsang just look at it, now that the time has come, I'll put out the chicken soup immediately."

Xia Shang smiled mysteriously, and used the tongs to dig at the extinguished charcoal fire, and dug out a black lump from the charcoal fire.

Seeing Xia Shang return to the kitchen with the black thing, Sang Sang also followed.

I saw Xia Shang remove the scorched black from the outside of the thing layer by layer, and gradually appeared blue-green.

"Lotus leaves?"

In confusion, the lotus leaves have been stripped away, and a stronger fragrance comes to the face, and Sangsang's saliva gushes out like the flooding of the Yellow River.

After swallowing several mouthfuls to ease up, Sang Sang took a few steps closer: "The chicken is hidden in the lotus leaf?" What is this practice? ”

"This chicken pot is my original one, and now it is boiled in the ordinary soup method, so that the chicken can absorb the bone broth, and then the chicken is roasted in a flame-extinguished charcoal fire with lotus leaves, so that the chicken can be regained firmness and at the same time force out the chicken juice. This allows all the juice to be hidden in the belly of the chicken, and the taste is more delicious and mellow than yesterday's method. ”

"Your kid's technique is unique, it's the first time I've seen you do this in so many years. The eldest lady is about to get up, and this bowl of soup must be delivered immediately. ”

"Okay!"

Xia Shang responded, cut open the belly of the chicken, and the rich soup gushed out with the heat, and the juice in the belly was still boiling!

"Wow! How is there so much soup today? ”

"Different techniques will naturally achieve different results."

With that, two bowls of fragrant chicken soup were placed on the stove.

"The eldest lady eats a small amount of food, only one bowl."

"The little one knows, but Sister Sangsang must be tired from running all the way here, and this second bowl is my filial piety to Sister Sangsang."

Sang Sang was stunned for a moment, and his bright eyes narrowed: "How can we eat the master's things as subordinates?" ”

Xia Shang didn't answer immediately, carefully closed the kitchen door, and then turned around and said, "Sister Sangsang, this is what I specially prepared for you, so don't be polite." There was no one else in this kitchen, just a bowl of soup, no big deal. You must know that this medicinal diet has been carefully cooked by me, especially suitable for girls to drink, not only can regulate qi and blood but also beautify the skin. Sister Sangsang is when she is growing up, but she has to comfort herself and look good when she looks smart! ”

Sang Sang looked at the soup on the stove, the fragrance no longer tempted her all the time, and when she heard that this soup could beautify her face, her heart was a little shaken.

"Sister Sangsang, you're welcome! You have worked hard at the Saijia, can you still drink a bowl of soup? ”

"Oily cavity slippery! I'm telling you, it's not allowed to be like this in the future! The eldest lady hates the person who can't control her mouth the most, and this time she will not take it as an example! ”

"Yes, yes, only this once, not for example."

Sang Sang finally took over the soup bowl, and the rich aroma seemed to have magic power, so that people couldn't put it down anymore when they picked it up.

Sang Sang's status in the Saijia Xia Shang could feel it, otherwise he wouldn't be so flattering. Seeing that Sang Sang no longer refused, Xia Shang was relieved, because he thought that no woman was immune to her taste magic, as the saying goes, to tie a woman's heart, you must first tie a woman's stomach. As long as Sang Sang tastes it once, there will definitely be a second time, and after a long time, Sang Sang's heart will naturally come to Xia Shang's side, even if it doesn't fall in love with him, at least it can be regarded as a backer to play cover.

Sang Sang was about to drink the chicken soup, when Xia Shang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly called: "Wait! ”

Sang Sang frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

"Oops, the little careless, forgot a very important process."

As he spoke, Xia Shang turned his back and took out MSG from his arms, poured a little into his hand, and then added it to the two bowls of chicken soup.

Looking at the crystal clear pure white particles, Sang Sang was a little puzzled: "You are salt?" ”

"No, my sister will know if she tastes it."

Sang Sang drank the chicken soup suspiciously, his face immediately had a layer of ruddy, and his bright eyes quickly shot out of amazing brilliance, put down the soup bowl, and his lips were still stained with oily and shiny juice, causing the little fragrant tongue to slide gently over his lips. Don't look at it as a maid, her posture is at least seven or eight points.

"Good...... It's so fresh! I'm ...... I've never had such a delicious chicken soup, it's several times more delicious than yesterday! Oh my God, this chicken feels like it's coming to life in its mouth! You...... How did you do that? ”

Xia Shang smiled: "Forgot the white particles just added? ”

"You mean the salt? No way! How can that little bit of salt make chicken broth so delicious? ”

"Sister, that's not salt. That's called MSG! Great stuff! ”

"MSG?"

"That's right, monosodium glutamate and monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the essence of taste, and just a little addition to any dish can make a wonderful change in taste."

Sang Sang pouted: "I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense." Know that this is your cook's secret ingredient, and you won't tell anyone else. ”

Xia Shang looked helpless, to be honest, he really couldn't help it if he didn't believe it.

Soon, Sang Sang left with another bowl of soup, and Xia Shang picked up a kitchen knife to dispose of the remaining chicken.

It's just that no one noticed that all this was clearly seen by Ah Kuan who was hiding in the window!

……

Chicken broth is for the eldest lady, but the chicken is the key. The chicken has been carefully cooked, the aroma of the meat has been brought to the limit, after simmering to make the chicken soft, and then buried in the charcoal fire to tighten the chicken, after a loose and tight, the chicken has unconsciously undergone a qualitative change.

This is a rare delicacy, originally intended to be kept for himself, but when he thought of the girl in the back garden, how could Xia Shang still take care of himself?

Thinking back to the woman, I saw that she was dressed not like a maid, but not like a master.

What kind of identity still needs to be scrutinized.

After some pondering, Xia Shang finally confirmed that she should be a maid with a high status, because don't look at her bright clothes, but her thin appearance is obviously not nutritious, if she is the owner of the Sai family, there should be no such problem. There is also a more important clue is the words that Ah Kuan muttered last night.

Ah Kuan said that the master of the Sai family is not easy to serve, in addition to the eldest lady, there are also the arrogant second lady, the third lady who has nothing to do, the sick young master, and the fierce young lady.

Xia Shang thought about these masters, and compared them one by one with the woman, and found that none of them matched.

If you are not the master of the Sai family, you can only be a subordinate.

Knowing the identity of the other party's subordinates, Xia Shang was very happy, since everyone has the same identity, there is no need to be so restrained when they meet.

Thinking of this, Xia Shang couldn't help but laugh, cut the chicken neatly, wrapped it with the remaining lotus leaves, and quietly went to the back garden.
