Chapter 203: Accepting Disciples
Master Cao picked up the chopsticks and first sandwiched a chopsticks fat intestine, which was spicy and fragrant in the mouth, and there was no fishy smell of fat intestines at all.
Chun Yuyan stared at Chef Cao carefully, and when he saw that he didn't show an ugly expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she also guessed, under the dazzling array of ingredients, there was a small piece of fat intestine, which had been cleaned, and the knife edge was clean and neat.
If this is the case, it means that Chef Cao likes to eat these, and Chun Yuyan took the risk, hoping to get more attention and recognition from Chef Cao.
It seems that she got it right.
The king of Anyang County is much more direct, and after a few chopsticks, he has forgotten to drink.
"Chun Yuyan, you lied to me again, this is your true level, right? Yes? At lunch, you fooled me casually, didn't you? ”
The king of Anyang County was eating in the wind and clouds, and muttered to him.
Chef Cao listened to it and snatched his chopsticks: "You've eaten them all, and you're still eating!" ”
"Oh, when did you make such a delicious dish for me? No, you can't do this, you give it to me, eat this meal, the next meal is not possible, let me eat more! ”
The king of Anyang snatched the chopsticks from Chef Cao's hand, and without saying much, he just ate them.
When the plate bottomed out, the king of Anyang stroking his round stomach and slumped on the chair.
Oops, eating too much.
Chef Cao tasted every dish and finally put down his chopsticks.
Chun Yuyan looked at him nervously.
I saw him slowly wipe his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Do you want to learn to cook with me?" ”
"Huh?"
Chun Yuyan's eyes widened.
What did Chef Cao mean just now?
"Ahhhh Don't say yes yet, silly girl! The king of Anyang pouted, he knew that if Chef Cao had eaten the food cooked by Chun Yuyan, this person would not let go.
"Yes, when, of course you will, you, will you take me?" Chun Yuyan was overjoyed and didn't know how to speak, so he couldn't help but ask again.
Chef Cao said with a smile: "Actually, you already have your own mature system for cooking, and I can't teach anything, but I can point you out, and it is more reasonable in the application of ingredients." ”
Chef Cao said modestly, but Chun Yuyan didn't think it at all, when he mentioned the corner of his skirt, Chun Yuyan bowed his head: "Disciple to meet the master!" ”
"Okay, okay, since you call me master, then I will do my best to teach you, but where do you live now, it's not convenient for you to come here every day, or? Hey, by the way, you're from that house? ”
Chef Cao suddenly thought that he didn't know the situation of this girl, ah, no, it was the situation of this woman.
Hey, that's a bit tricky, you can't let a married woman stay at home every day, right?
"My master!" Chun Yuyan hurriedly made a statement.
Du Ruo almost bit his tongue behind him, and the young lady agreed too quickly, if this is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would be good to say, but now in the Hou Mansion, it is difficult for them to go out to the sky.
Chef Cao nodded: "Okay, it's just the early stage, I will teach you some things, and in the later stage, you need to learn and practice by yourself, after all, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on yourself." ”
Chun Yuyan nodded excitedly: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." ”
"That's it, there is one thing that you can do me a little favor for......" Chun Yuyan paused, and then asked cautiously.
"Oh? What's up? ”
Chef Cao, who has an apprentice, seems to be easy to speak.
"Hehe, a plate of braised pork that needs to be cooked by you." Chun Yuyan stretched out his white fingers and carefully gestured a word.
Chef Cao paused when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "What's the matter?" My master is not hot yet, and he has begun to instruct and work? ”
Chun Yuyan's face showed expectation, and he looked at Chef Cao pitifully.
The king of Anyang County snorted on the side: "What's the matter?" Don't let your apprentices see your craft? Go quickly, you can't recognize the teacher in vain today, you have to have a return gift. ”
Chef Cao nodded, and suddenly felt that what the king of Anyang said was quite reasonable.
So, Chef Cao got up and took Chun Yuyan to the kitchen.
The same steps, but a quarter of an hour later, Chef Cao put the braised pork on a plate, and Chun Yuyan noticed the difference.
Chef Cao's braised pork is brighter in color and smells more aromatic.
"Wow, master, you are really amazing!"
The words of praise blurted out, and the king of Anyang poked his head outside the door: "Ouch, it's so fragrant!" ”
"You can't eat any more!" Chef Cao first warned the king of Anyang.
Then pointed to the braised pork and said: "Since today is the first day of your apprenticeship, then I will first take this dish and tell you some, you see, this meat is also particular about picking up, to see each other fat and thin, blanching the pot under cold water, the meat quality will not be so tight, pay attention, usually the house will use white sugar, here I use these rock sugar blocks, the market is not very easy to buy, but with these will make the meat more fresh, blanched broth do not throw away, and finally pour it into the pot and cook together, it will be more flavorful." ”
Chef Cao explained while wiping his hands with a clean towel.
"It's easy to say, but when you actually do it, it's a different way, and there's no other way than to practice more and master the know-how."
"Well, well, master, I know." Chun Yuyan listened carefully and remembered it in his heart.
After a fruitful half a day, after noon, Chun Yuyan boarded the carriage and returned to the Hou Mansion.
In the Mingxin Hall, the old lady was drinking tea with a teacup, and the maid came: "The third young lady is back." ”
The old lady sat up suddenly, and realized that she seemed to be a little too eager, and turned to pick up the teacup again.
Chun Yuyan entered the door, bowed to the old lady, and then placed the food box in front of the old lady.
"Grandmother, fortunately, my granddaughter-in-law brought back Master Cao's braised pork."
The smiling woman proudly waited for the old lady's praise.
The braised pork in front of him, the fragrance entered his nose for a while, the old lady used a little less rice at noon in order to wait for this plate of braised pork, and now the gluttonous worms were hooked out, and she couldn't wait to signal Mama Gui to open the box.
In front of the eye, it is a plate of trembling, red and tender crystal-like braised pork, sandwiched a piece and put it in the mouth, as if it immediately melted in the mouth, no, take a light bite, full of elasticity.
"Well, that's good......" The old lady sighed with satisfaction, and the dissatisfaction in her heart because of Chun Yuyan's late return suddenly disappeared.
It stands to reason that she has eaten a lot of good things in her life, and she is not the one who covets her appetite, but since Chun Yuyan entered the Hou Mansion, why did she start looking forward to enjoying food like this?
Putting down the chopsticks, the old lady wiped her mouth reservedly: "Well, thank you for your hard work, Chef Cao really lives up to his reputation, and the taste is indeed not worse than that of the imperial kitchen." ”
"If Grandmother likes it, it's fine." Chun Yuyan raised a smile, as if the grandson who was honoring his elders was appreciated.
