Chapter 198: Summoning a Mushroom Rain
Because the prince has arrived in Yuncheng, the guard at the gate is extremely strict, no one can only enter or leave, and even the carriage of the carriage must be strictly checked. Unless they had a special status, they all had to be searched, which caused many peasant women to be deterred from entering the city, and only hurriedly sold their agricultural products to speculators outside the city gates, and then turned around and left. The displaced people who had been squatting outside the city walls were driven away, and they did not know where they had been settled.
With the personal proof of the shopkeeper of Fumanlou, coupled with the familiar catcher, Tang Yourou did not need to take off the wolf skin coat in the cold weather, but he was still arrested and touched the bag and belt to prevent the entrainment of weapons.
Just because the prince came, he made things so grand, no wonder Liu Jia was like a great enemy.
Jing Gongzi's birthday banquet was held in the private room of Fumanlou.
It is said that Prince Ji is worried that others will be poisoned, and there will be a special cook to cook for him alone. But everyone else in the birthday banquet depends on the chef of Fu Manlou for their dishes. The cooks opened their bows one by one, and began to prepare for the pickling as early as three days before, carefully preparing this delicious feast.
The broth of the boiling cabbage has long been boiled, sealed in a crockpot, and poured over after it is boiled again in the evening. It is said that the prince and the cronies around the county commander have tried it in advance and are very satisfied with such "approachable home-cooked food".
Liu Jia also received some recipes with new tricks from others, and appointed a few cooks to cook in advance and prepare in Liu's house. Now that the willow house is occupied, Tang and Rou have to find another place to carry out the final processing and steaming of mochi.
All of them found her a private house, and sent the original residents with some money, worried that she would not be able to do it alone, and planned to match her with someone to help.
Tang and Rou asked him for Xiaoba.
All of them couldn't agree immediately, so they only said to help her go back to the private room to see if he was busy, and left in a hurry.
People in the city don't use dung to light a fire, and on weekdays, it is often the young lady who is diligent on the stove, and she does not have many opportunities to light the fire, so she takes two flints and knocks on the firewood under the stove for a long time, but she has not been able to make a fire.
Fortunately, Hachi came after a while, found some hay, made a small fire, and then ignited the dry firewood to solve this trouble.
Shouldn't there have been a magical fire fold in ancient times? Hasn't this era been invented yet?
It seems that it is possible to make a fire fold and sell it for money, but I don't know if there is a market.
Tang Yourou stared for a while, and saw that the fire under the stove was stable, before turning his head and asking Xiaoba, "Isn't it busy in the private room?" ”
Hachi actually came in a brocade dress today.
This brocade dress is mainly made of autumn chrysanthemum red, and the corners are dyed with sandalwood silk stripes, which makes him, a fourteen-year-old boy, very cute. The inside and outside are two layers of silk, and the interlayer is stuffed with soft hair, and then sewn into different lattices with fine threads to fix it, so that you will not be shivering from the cold when you wear it in the private room.
I think it's because after this new position was recognized by the shopkeeper, he specially allocated money to buy him this dress.
Tang Yourou reached out and pinched it.
The clothes feel good, but the silk clothes are flashy, and they are not as affordable and warm as the wolf skin jacket sewn by the young lady for her.
"Not busy." Xiaoba shook his head, let her pinch the corner of her clothes, and replied obediently, "The adults have all gone to the Qinglou, and there are servants to accompany the wine, so I don't need it." ”
"It's a pity that this money can't be earned." Tang Yourou felt sorry, looked up at the young man's still delicate face, and said, "It's good." In case you are taken by those people and explode chrysanthemum, it will be too unfortunate. ”
Hachi scratched his head, very confused.
The first drawer of mochi did not grasp the heat and time well, and it was oversteamed and a little soft.
Then eat it as glutinous rice cakes.
Tang Yourou forked one with a bamboo chopstick, took a bite, and was very satisfied with the taste, so he stuffed it into his mouth, puffed up his mouth, and chewed it creakingly. Seeing Hachi standing next to him salivating, thinking that he had prepared a lot more anyway and could still make it fresh, he fed him a mouthful.
The little milk dog was so surprised by this exquisite food that it was so delicious that his face smiled.
The two of them happily stood by the stove and munched on it.
"Hmph, this bite will eat me a penny!"
Liu Jia's voice floated faintly from the gate of the courtyard.
Hachi was startled and bowed down to apologize again and again outside the kitchen, but his mouth was stuffed with mochi, he covered his mouth, and he couldn't speak.
Tang Yourou left the kitchen, looked at Liu Jia who came down from the carriage at the door of the house, was very happy, went back and used chopsticks to pick up a mochi in the steamer, and ran over: "Taste it, this is hot, and the taste is different from cold!" ”
Liu Jia looked at the mochi that she had pierced with chopsticks, and raised her eyebrows silently.
Tang Yourou knew what she was worried about, and patted her chest, "Don't worry! ”
She stretched out her hand and gestured to the semi-finished mochi covered with sackcloth on the wooden shelf in the yard, and said, "I have made a hundred more, and I have brought several bags of powder, which are very convenient to make!" ”
Liu Jia turned his anger into a laugh at this time, directly leaned on the chopsticks, bit off the mochi, nodded and praised when he munched, and his words were slurred: "Great!" Here's a drawer for me! ”
As he spoke, he lifted his shirt and hurried to the kitchen, obviously wanting to grab a few more.
Tang Yourou was stunned, he didn't expect that the rich female businessman could still do such a shameless behavior, she chased after her with chopsticks high, and protested loudly with her teeth and claws: "No, you can't eat so much!" I'll sell it for money! Let go of my mochi, ahhhh ”
The two of them rushed into the kitchen one after the other.
Hachi followed, envious.
Boss Liu is so fierce, when he reported the situation in the private room, he didn't even dare to look at her. But Sister Rou dare!
Where can I usually see Boss Liu talking to people like this? But she will say this to Sister Rou!
It's really worthy of Sister Rou!
The humble status of a cook is not worthy of appearing in front of nobles, which makes Tang and Rou greatly relieved.
I was wanted because of a misunderstanding, but if I don't get it right, I'll get into trouble. At this time, you just need to make the mochi, let it cool and roll it on with sesame seeds, and send someone to serve it, so you don't need to show up in person.
The birthday feast begins at the time of the unitary, but it has to be prepared before then. Liu Jia inspected the layout of the private room, went to the winery to accept the wine, and met all kinds of people, arranged performances in the lobby on the second floor and on Nanchang Street, and was so busy that he didn't eat anything.
At this time, I came to see the progress of the little girl, and she was dizzy with hunger.
Seeing that Tang and Rouzhen had sent so many semi-finished mochi products, most of their worries were relieved, but they found that she couldn't master the stove heat, and she was afraid that she would do too much, and she didn't dare to eat more.
But it's not a problem to be hungry all the time, so the little girl has to do something to feed her.
If it was a handyman on the side, she would probably tremble and make something delicate for her, but Tang and Rou knew that she needed the quickest food at this time, and when they saw that flour, eggs, salt, lard, and sesame seeds were ready on the stove, they casually mixed a bowl of egg cake pulp.
