Chapter 597: That's Not How Dishes Are Cooked
The housekeeper was directing the cooks in the kitchen to prepare meals, and suddenly saw Yu Chang coming, and hurriedly trotted forward and said, "Master, why are you here, there is a lot of smoke in the kitchen, let's go out." ”
Yu Chang waved his hand with a calm face and said, "What's going on?" ”
Seeing that Yu Chang's face was not good, the housekeeper felt strange in his heart, and looked at Yu Chang with a puzzled expression.
Yu Chang pointed to the two jade bowls filled with mutant beast meat and frowned: "Outside are all famous doctors in Chang'an who came to treat my father, how can I casually use some ordinary meat as mutant beast meat!" ”
The housekeeper said wrongly: "Master, we don't dare to use ordinary meat as mutant beast meat, these are real mutant beast meat." ”
After listening to the housekeeper's words, Yu Chang's brows furrowed even tighter, Yu Shinan was a great Confucian, so he had high requirements for the character of the subordinates in the house.
"Hmph, then let me ask you if there is so much mutant beast meat sent by Your Majesty?"
Hearing Yu Chang say this, the housekeeper finally understood, it turned out that the Marquis of Jiayuan sent someone to send the mutant beast meat was the old man who didn't know it.
Thinking of this, the housekeeper also breathed a sigh of relief, he really thought that he didn't know what he had done wrong.
"Master, these are really mutant beast meat, and there are not many mutant beast meat sent by His Majesty, but just now Jiayuan Marquis asked Captain Ma Du to send twenty catties of mutant beast meat, and also sent a lot of fresh vegetables."
Yu Chang was stunned when he heard this: "You said Jiayuan Hou? ”
The housekeeper smiled: "Yes, sir, look, this mutant beast meat only used ten catties to make two large plates, and there are still ten catties left here." ”
Yu Chang looked in the direction pointed by the housekeeper, and sure enough, he saw a large piece of mutant beast meat on the kitchen table, much larger than the one sent by Li Er, and there were many different vegetables next to it, as if they had just been picked from the ground.
"These vegetables ......" In the cold winter, Layue Yufu could only eat some pickled vegetables, and Yu Chang was stunned for a moment when he saw so many fresh vegetables.
The housekeeper said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Marquis of Jiayuan has set up a greenhouse for planting vegetables and fruits on the Zhuangzi outside the city, so that you can eat fresh vegetables in the cold winter and wax moon, but it turns out to be true." ”
This time, Yu Chang couldn't believe it.
"These are all sent by the Marquis of Jiayuan?"
The housekeeper nodded, Yu Chang's face was suspicious, so he didn't have to worry about the lack of mutant beast meat to entertain guests, but he didn't know why Wang Xiang did this, not to mention the extremely precious mutant beast meat, these fresh vegetables alone were rare things that money couldn't buy.
"Hou Jiayuan knows that the old man doesn't eat meat, so he specially asked someone to send some fresh vegetables, and I am asking people to cook vegetarian meals for the old man."
"Marquis Jiayuan has a heart." Yu Chang said a few more words and left the kitchen to go to the courtyard to entertain the guests.
Seeing Yu Chang's eyes looking at him, he was a little more enthusiastic, Wang Xiang secretly said that this time the effort was worth it.
After a while, the subordinates of the Yu Mansion served the food one after another, and everyone was looking forward to the mutant beast meat that Yu Chang said.
"Hey, this is a turnip? And greens, which are cucumbers? ”
As soon as the meal was served, some guests couldn't help but be surprised.
"There are so many fresh vegetables in Yufu in this cold winter!"
Listening to everyone's amazement, Yu Chang also felt very faced, and he was even more grateful to Wang Xiang in his heart, and others came to the door to treat his father during the New Year, if the hospitality could not satisfy everyone, Yu Fu's face would not be able to pass, and now it seems that there is no need to worry about everyone being dissatisfied.
When the two large plates of mutant beast meat were brought to the table, everyone's exclamation was even greater, I heard that the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion occasionally ate mutant beast meat and served it in small plates, but I didn't expect Yu Mansion to use such a large jade plate full of mutant beast meat to entertain everyone.
Originally, I thought that I would be satisfied if I could eat a piece of fresh food, but now I am afraid that I can eat it openly, and I am naturally happy in my heart, this time I came to Yufu It is worth the trip, not only to see the rare mutant Sydney pear, but also to have a full meal of mutant beast meat, such an opportunity is usually not encountered.
Everyone was looking forward to the mutant beast meat, but Wang Xiang was not too interested, and left after only a few bites, Yu Chang thought that Wang Xiang was going to relieve himself and didn't care too much.
Wang Xiang naturally didn't go to relieve himself, and after leaving the banquet, he quietly went to the back kitchen of Yufu.
"Master Hou, why are you here?" Seeing Wang Xiang coming over, the housekeeper was even more surprised.
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Is the vegetarian meal prepared for Master Yu ready?" ”
The housekeeper hurriedly replied, "It's just done, I'm about to send it to the master." ”
Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Your young lady has been taking care of Elder Yu and hasn't eaten, so I also prepared some meals for her, and I will send them over when I go back." ”
"Huh?" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment.
Wang Xiang asked him to prepare a meal for Yu Xiuyan, he didn't think it was strange, but Wang Xiang said that he was going to send it to the housekeeper, so he couldn't understand it, Wang Xiang was a distinguished guest of Yu Mansion, how could he run over and personally deliver food to the master if he didn't eat at the banquet?
Of course, Wang Xiang didn't want to send food to Yu Shinan, he wanted to send food to Yu Xiuyan, and he could also take the opportunity to get close to him.
What is the meaning of listening to a group of old men talking about medical skills at the banquet, of course, it is better to accompany Yu Xiuyan to eat together.
Seeing that the housekeeper was stunned, Wang Xiang urged: "Hurry up and prepare, yes, I didn't eat enough just now." ”
The housekeeper wondered in his heart, there are so many delicious things at the banquet, you said that you are not full and hurry up to eat, what kind of business is running the back kitchen, and you have to send food to the master......
However, Wang Xiang is a distinguished guest of Yu Mansion and a benefactor of Yu Mansion, the housekeeper naturally did not dare to have any opinions, and after listening to his words, he hurriedly ordered himself to prepare a meal, Wang Xiang did not leave, just stood by and waited.
Seeing that the cook of Yufu threw a bunch of vegetables into the pot to stew indiscriminately, Wang Xiang hurriedly stopped them, no wonder he felt that the food made by Yufu just now tasted bad, such a pot of stew was simply a waste of ingredients, and those guests still ate with relish and boasted.
The cook was about to prepare a meal for Yu Xiuyan, but was suddenly stopped by Wang Xiang, and he was puzzled, and the housekeeper also looked at Wang Xiang suspiciously.
"That's how you guys?"
The cook didn't know why Wang Xiang asked like this, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the house has always done this." ”
Wang Xiang shook his head when he heard this.
The housekeeper cautiously asked, "Master Hou, is there any problem?" ”
What's the problem? Big problem.
"That's not how the dish works."
After listening to Wang Xiang's words, the housekeeper and the cook were even more puzzled, the chef of Yufu has been cooking in the mansion for more than 20 years, don't they know how to cook? You said that you didn't eat in front of you, but went to the back kitchen to instruct the cook to cook, isn't it really funny?
Seeing the housekeeper and the cook's suspicion of himself, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Do you know about Dengxian Tower?" ”
The housekeeper and the cook both nodded, who doesn't know the No. 1 Restaurant in Chang'an.
"Do you know who the owner of Dengxian Tower is?"
