One hundred and four, the eldest young master
It turned out that the daughter of this grandmother-in-law had a good little maid, and the little maid gave her a pack of medicine early in the morning, and asked her to find a way to put it in the meals of the lady's family, and told her that the medicine was not poisonous, just to make the lady's family nauseous, and then the lady would only punish the cook who cooked, and her mother would not be punished.
The daughter who was carried away by love was left alone in the morning, and when she helped her grandmother watch the meal, she added ingredients to the meal.
Mrs. Xiang sneered and said nothing, and Mrs. Zhang immediately sent someone to find the good friend of Mrs. Sun and her daughter.
But soon the people who went to find him came to report that the little guy had run away.
Zhang Niangzi spit and said: "Bah, there is nothing to do, the monk can't run to the temple if he runs away, he is the son of the family, and his father and mother are still in Liufu, so he ran away." Madame, use his father and mother to ask who is instructing him. ”
Mrs. Xiang nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, and I'm tired." ”
Of course, Zhang Niangzi will not let go of this good opportunity to suppress the opponent, the power of Zhou Niangzi and Zheng Niangzi in Liufu has been weakened, and some subordinates have turned to Zhang Niangzi's side.
Mrs. Zhang had no scenery in Liufu for a while.
Of course, Mrs. Zhang did not forget Zhao Shuang, who brought this glory to herself, and asked for a reward for them from his wife, and the inner kitchen almost became Zhao Shuang's world.
Someone provided ingredients for free, and Zhao Shuang naturally would not let go of this great opportunity to train apprentices and satisfy the mouth.
Every day, the master of Liufu is immersed in a variety of delicious dishes, and almost all the ingredients proposed by Zhao Shuang are responded.
Liufu's family banquet began to become famous in Pinglan Mansion, Liuzhifu invited the five elders of Pinglan Mansion today, and Zhao Shuang's menu was: steamed mandarin fish, Buddha jumping tendons, reed flower soup, burnt matsutake mushrooms, diving shrimp, spicy chicken, spicy snails, and golden three silks.
The mandarin fish in Lujiang in spring is the most fatty, but Pinglan Mansion is more than 2,000 miles away from Lujiang, and the transportation conditions at this time can transport the delicious mandarin fish of Lujiang River to Pinglan Mansion alive, which is a very luxurious thing, and the cost is huge.
In this era, it is a crime to kill cows, and eating beef is to be punished. But the prefect's family couldn't refuse the delicacy of the beef made by Fu Ning.
Luhua soup is a soup made from chicken brains, and the chicken must be two months and three days old, and the taste is not enough for one more day or one less day.
The diving shrimp is so fresh that it is cooked and served on the table, and the shrimp is still swimming in the water, and its freshness can be imagined.
The spicy chicken is relatively simple, but the level of the chef is very demanding, the whole chicken needs to be cut 360 knives, after the whole chicken can not see a little knife marks, so that the muscles can be more flavorful, when eating, those knife marks will make the chicken layer upon layer, both tough, and tender and spicy.
The golden three silk is made by cutting the meat next to the third rib of the pig into extremely thin shreds, wrapped in flour and eggs, and fried, the finished product is thinner than a quarter chopstick, but the outside is charred and tender on the inside, and the deliciousness is simply irresistible.
The family banquet in Liufu requires hundreds of taels of silver.
But the masters of Liufu fell in love with this delicacy and fell into it and couldn't extricate themselves.
The guests ate very happily, and the whole banquet was full of praise, and they couldn't wait to stay in Liufu.
Governor Liu was extremely proud and enthusiastic, and he was still excited until the guests were sent away.
So he decided to go to the concubine's room to calm down.
After calming down for a while, Liu Zhifu lay in the gentle township and enjoyed the concubine's massage.
"My lord, since your cook is so capable, why don't you let them cook something to eat for the eldest prince and cure the eldest prince's anorexia?" The little concubine was delicately blowing a gentle wind in Lord Liu's ears.
It's not that the concubine cares about the eldest son, but that she can't see Mrs. Zhengfang Xiang has been favored these days. In the past two months, the old man has eaten in Mrs. Xiang's room, which is simply a favorite.
The eldest prince is the eldest son of Lord Liu, but he was not born by Mrs. Xiang in the main room, but by one of Lord Liu's concubines when Mrs. Xiang had not passed the door.
In ancient times, it was common for a man to take two concubines to serve in the room before he married a wife.
However, not long after Mrs. Xiang entered the door, she sent the eldest prince's mother to Zhuangzi to fend for herself.
The eldest prince has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and his diet is very fine, but he is often difficult to swallow, and he can't eat ordinary things, so he can only live by drinking some gruel every meal.
When Governor Liu heard the concubine say this, he remembered that he had an ailing eldest son.
He seems to have seen the child at the family banquet during the Chinese New Year, and he was so weak that he almost took his last breath, what a dead star.
Governor Liu couldn't wait for him to die, and he would never see him sick again.
But the death of the eldest son is not an auspicious thing for a family, if this cook can cure the eldest son's anorexia and let the eldest prince live in good health, it is still a good thing for Liufu.
Governor Liu pinched the concubine's face and said: "It's still your intimacy, tomorrow I will instruct the cook to treat the eldest prince for anorexia, if you can make the eldest prince open his mouth to eat, you and the cook will be rewarded." ”
Zhao Shuang sat in the courtyard like this, and the pot came from the sky.
"Treating anorexia? I'm not a doctor, so why don't I find a doctor for treatment, but a cook? Zhao Shuang drank the spring tea that Yuan Xi had just brewed and complained.
Fu Ning said: "Master, I think the matter of the eldest son, it's not that the things we make are delicious, he can be good." ”
Rou Niang said: "Miss Shuang'er, if you cure the eldest son's illness, you can earn a hundred taels of silver!" ”
Zhao Shuang didn't care about a hundred taels of silver, she just wanted to continue to stay in Liufu to eat and drink, and if she wanted to eat and drink, the matter of the eldest prince seemed to have to be completed.
"Okay, let's go see the eldest prince for dinner tomorrow."
At noon the next day, Zhao Shuang and the four of them came to the courtyard of the eldest prince with the food they cooked for the eldest prince.
The courtyard was quiet, and there was not even a servant under the porch.
The little maid who delivered the meal said, "Young Master, your meal has been delivered." ”
There was no movement in the room.
The little maid explained: "The eldest young master is like this, he usually ignores people. As he spoke, he walked up the steps, raised the curtains, and invited Zhao Shuang and a few people in.
Zhao Shuang and the others walked into the house, the room was simply furnished, bookshelves, tables and chairs, there was a desk by the window, and there was a very thin teenager sitting behind the desk, the teenager looked down at the book, even if they came in, he didn't look up at them.
The little maid said: "Young Master, today the master specially instructed Chef Zhao and Chef Fu to cook for you, these chefs are the best cooks in our house now, and Madame has been eating their cooking for the past two months." ”
The boy still ignored it, and lowered his head to read the book.
