Chapter 63: come to the door
In the early morning of the next day, Xia Shang began his daily work again, preparing meals for various masters.
As long as it is not a big dish, Xia Shang prepares it easily, and when he gets up early, the preparation of the lunch meal is also completed. When everything is done, there is a half-day break. With these hours taking care of the vegetables transplanted in the vegetable garden, there is nothing to tease and tease the maid who secretly sends autumn waves, this day is called a pleasant day.
As for the space kitchen, Xia Shang decided to leave it for a while. Pretending to be cool for a while, the trouble caused by the follow-up is not so easy to deal with.
Just thinking about it, trouble came to the door.
"Brother Xia, there's a woman outside who wants to see you."
Xia Shang looked at the weather, and said in his heart, who would come to him early in the morning? And I don't have any friends outside.
With some doubts, he put down the hoe in his hand and went to the small door in the backyard of the Saijia.
What appeared in front of Xia Shang was an unfamiliar face, plain clothes, a floral cloth turban, and a pair of eyes full of firmness.
"May I ask who you are?"
"Chef of Yunshui Pavilion,."
Listening to the other party's self-report, Xia Shang finally knew why the other party came.
It all stems from yesterday's experience in the House of Living.
How is Xia Shang's cooking skills? What kind of dishes can be seen and smelled to find out the bottom line, the cherry meat that has been tasted once in Yunshui Pavilion, how can Xia Shang not see it when he moves to Lichun Courtyard?
In Lichun Courtyard, the moment Yang Liu took out the cherry meat, Xia Shang already knew that this was the work of the of Yunshui Pavilion. What puzzled Xia Shang was why the dishes of the were sent to Lichun Courtyard, and what charm did the have to invite the young owners of the Lichun Courtyard?
When I left yesterday, I said that it was just a joke to let the owner of the dish visit in person with sincerity, and I said that I was a little-known small character, who would really take myself in my eyes?
When I left yesterday, I didn't think that would come to visit. Suddenly seeing the other party appear in front of the door made Xia Shang a little stunned.
"What? Don't you want me in? ”
"Uh...... Please come in, please come in. ”
Xia Shang hurriedly gave way to the, during which Xia Shang took a good look at the other party, this looks really good, double ten has six, it is the age of the prime, and the figure has grown to the extreme, wrapped in a simple cloth clothes, the lines are more obvious.
The entered the backyard of the Saijia family and immediately attracted a lot of attention. It stands to reason that subordinates can't let people into the backyard casually, but Xia Shang is different, it is the popular guy of the Sai family, the hot figure around the eldest lady, and only he dares to let people into the house, and the rest of the people don't dare to talk nonsense.
Ordinary subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense, but extraordinary subordinates can't look at it.
As soon as the entered the door, Sang Sang brought a murderous aura, and walked up menacingly and hummed: "Xia Shang, who let you let people in casually?" Let her get out right away! ”
Although Xu Niangzi is not married, but after all, she is much older, and she can't see Sang Sang's thoughts, without waiting for Xia Shang to speak, she smiled first: "Don't be angry with this sister, sister, I'm not here to rob you of a man." Sister, I just asked your lover for a little thing, and I'll leave after asking. ”
"Love...... Inamorato. Sang Sang was so flustered that his tongue was trembling, "You, you...... What nonsense are you talking about? ”
"Okay, my sister still can't see it? This Xia Shang is a rare talent, you have to grasp it! ”
"I ...... I'm ...... I won't tell you! ”
After only two sentences, Sang Sang couldn't resist, covered his face and turned his head to run, and scolded the onlookers not far away while running: "What do you see? What to do, what to do! ”
Xia Shang, as a spectator, had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy, and Fang Cai's hand was not learned by those young girls.
Xia Shang took the to the kitchen, and the Saijia kitchen was really shabby, full of old deposits, which made Xia Shang a little embarrassed: "The cold house is simple, just sit casually." ”
The frowned and looked at everything in the kitchen, whether it was the cobwebs between the beams or the old oil stains on the stove, all of them showed the destitude here. It's hard for her to imagine how such a dilapidated kitchen can make a good chef feel at ease.
"You're cooking in a place like this?"
Xia Shang nodded: "Actually, there is nothing bad here, I will get used to it after watching too much, and it is also kind." ”
The didn't answer, and suddenly put down a bamboo basket from behind her.
Before Xia Shang walked in front, he didn't notice that the was still carrying a bamboo basket.
The bamboo basket fell to the ground, and there was a movement, and there should be a river fresh inside.
"What is this?"
"Yesterday you said that I would come to visit in person with sincerity, and today I came in person, and my sincerity is in this bamboo basket."
"What's inside?"
"The golden carp that was just salvaged from the Yong'an Canal today. I heard that you ordered a clear water golden carp yesterday, but for some reason, you couldn't get what you wanted, so today I will cook a clear water golden carp for you here. ”
"Oh!" Xia Shang suddenly realized, "Is it the Qingshui Golden Carp known as one thousand taels and one share?" Why is this dish so expensive? Is it your skill, or is the fish itself extraordinary? ”
"It's both." The said as she placed the golden carp in the bamboo basket on the cutting board.
The was about to use the knife, but Xia Shang hurriedly stopped: "Wait! This carp looks like no different from other carps, so why did it have the name of a golden carp? ”
"Really?" The asked mysteriously, looking at Xia Shang provocatively, as if to say that you also have something you don't know?
As she spoke, the put the fish head at Xia Shang, and then broke the fish mouth, Xia Shang was surprised to find that the inner wall of the fish lip was golden!
Xu Niangzi explained: "The golden carp of Yong'an Canal is unique to my Yunshui Pavilion, and the house of the owner of Yunshui Pavilion is leaning against Yong'an Canal, and there is a persimmon tree that has grown for a hundred years behind the yard. The persimmons produced by the hundred-year-old persimmon tree are very small, and astringent and difficult to swallow, so no one has touched after the fruit, until the persimmon is rotten and falls from the tree, so the tree grows obliquely against the Yong'an Canal, and the ripe persimmons are all like the Yong'an Canal, and the carp of the Yong'an Canal feeds on the persimmons, and over time it grows the unique golden carp of the Yong'an Canal.
This carp is the best in the river, not only the meat is smooth and tender, but also has a sweet and sour feeling like persimmon and citrus, which is a wonderful food that has never been seen before. Paired with my's exclusive secret recipe cooking, the clear water golden carp has become a delicacy that even the emperor is looking forward to. Selling for a thousand taels is already very cheap. Today, in order to solve the riddle of cherry meat, I personally show you the practice of Qingshui Golden Carp, is this sincerity enough? ”
"Sincerity is naturally enough." Xia Shang nodded, "But ...... Whether I can be satisfied or not, I have to taste this clear water golden carp to know. ”
