Chapter 77: A mediocre little genius in cooking

Li Tingyu didn't know at the moment that the Liang family hated her because she was accepted as an apprentice by Li Jinyong, and she was busy cooking.

This is her culinary debut in Dongcang, and she has to be cautious. The most important thing is whether she can convince her uncle to take a stake in her restaurant, depending on how well she cooks this meal.

Therefore, when Li Tingyu cooks, he should not only consider the taste, but also the novelty and aesthetics.

So it's a little bit more complicated.

The aroma in the kitchen wafted in the wind, and the maids and servants outside the door couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"It smells so good?"

"The eldest lady actually knows how to cook?"

The chatter was endless. Especially Mother Yang and Mother Zhao, who are in charge of cooking on weekdays, are even more curious.

I don't know what kind of dishes the eldest lady made, so fragrant.

Li Tingyu ignored the discussion outside and concentrated on cooking.

With the help of the little maids, Li Tingyu was busy for a whole hour, and he was finally done.

"Let's serve." Li Tingyu only felt that his back hurt, and it was really terrible to cook such a big table of dishes.

Eleven and Ruyu had already been ordered by the eldest lady to wait outside, and they hurried in after listening to Li Tingyu's instructions.

"It smells so good." Eleven couldn't help but swallow.

"Little gluttonous cat." Li Tingyu looked at Eleven's appearance and laughed.

Eleven stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, picked up the dish, and straightened up and walked towards the flower hall.

She is the eldest lady's person, and she can't embarrass the eldest lady.

"Miss, the slave maid is waiting for you to freshen up." Ruyu prepared hot water early and waited for Li Tingyu.

Li Tingyu smelled the smell of oil smoke on his body, and he almost didn't choke. I didn't feel it when I was cooking, but it's a little unbearable to stop now.

She also wanted to try the food she cooked, and it took a lot of time to freshen up. But she can't see people without washing, it's too difficult for her.

"Let's go." Li Tingyu didn't dare to delay any longer, and if he delayed a little more, he would have a less chance of eating food.

"You guys also go wash up, and when you're done, you can rest, and let Ruyu follow me later." Before leaving, Li Tingyu did not forget to explain the peony and gold, and the two of them helped her a lot today.

"Yes." Seeing that the young lady was still thinking about them, the two suddenly felt that it was worth it no matter how tired they were.

Here, Li Tingyu is hurrying to wash, and eleven over there they are serving the food in an orderly manner.

All the dishes were personally presented by the people of Lan Yuan, and Mama Liu was staring at the sidelines, for fear that someone would set her young lady.

The people of the Liang family were secretly anxious on the side, staring so closely, they couldn't do it at all. I could only watch these dishes and be delivered to the table safe and sound.

"Drunkard Peanuts."

"Cucumber jade."

"Vinegar cold tomato."

"Eight treasure crispy duck."

"Hibiscus slices"

"Squirrel mandarin fish."

"Spicy chicken."

"Flower-stuffed shiitake mushrooms."

"The shallots are crispy."

"Tai Chi taro puree."

One dish after another was served on the table, the lid was lifted, the fragrance wafted out, and Yang Chunlai and Li Jinyong suddenly felt hungry.

Even the old lady, who had always been steady, couldn't help but swallow.

There are so many surprises this granddaughter has given her.

I've never been in the kitchen to make so many dishes. No matter whether it tastes good or not, she, as a grandmother, must give enough face and eat it all.

"Where's your young lady?" Although Li Jinyong wanted to move his chopsticks, he still asked reservedly.

Eleven recklessly, peony is inconvenient to meet guests. Li Tingyu was not at ease, but still let Ruyu come to wait.

"Back to the Li court, my young lady went to tidy up her appearance. Miss said, you try her craft first, and remember to tell her when you taste it. If it wasn't good, she would be too ashamed to come. ”

Ruyu had already come to the flower hall one step ahead of Li Tingyu, with just the right smile on her face, and replied to Li Jinyong's words respectfully.

"Hmph, it's not good, the old man can't recognize her as an apprentice. Let her hurry up. Li Jinyong looked at the table full of dishes, and didn't know which one to eat first for a while.

"Court Li, please." The old lady greeted Li Jinyong and turned her head to look at Yang Chunlai, "You don't have to be polite, it's all your own family." ”

Yang Chunlai nodded. Li Jinyong hummed softly and stopped talking.

I saw that he took the lead in picking up a piece of cucumber.

This cucumber is verdant and has the aroma of sesame oil to whet your appetite.

Li Jinyong couldn't help but eat a big mouthful of rice with cucumbers, and when the rice entered his mouth, he was stunned for a moment.

Why is this rice so sweet and soft? What kind of variety is this, when he returns home, he will definitely ask the purchasing manager to buy some.

"Where did you buy the rice from the house?" Li Jinyong swallowed a mouthful of food again, but he couldn't help but speak.

The old lady also felt strange why the food on weekdays was not so delicious. Doubts are doubts, but she still announced that someone stepped forward to reply.

Yang Chunlai was also amazed, the rice eaten by their Yang family was already considered a relatively expensive variety in Dongcang, why was the rice of the Li family more delicious than theirs?

Does this Li family have so much silver?

Yang Chunlai thought about it and ate another big bite of rice.

Steward Lin, who was in charge of the kitchen and bought it, hurriedly came, listened to the questions of the masters on the seat, and replied tremblingly: "It has always been the blue terrier rice that I bought from Wansheng Rice Store. ”

Li Jinyong nodded and said that he had written it down, while Yang Chunlai frowned suspiciously. Their family also eats this rice, why does it taste different after eating?

Yang Chunlai continued to taste other dishes with doubts, while Li Jinyong picked up a small peanut and put it in his mouth.

Hey, why are these peanuts so crispy? Taking a sip of wine, Li Jinyong's whole person was refreshed.

"I finally know why it's called drunkard peanuts." Li Jinyong smacked his lips unsatisfied. This peanut and wine are a perfect match.

With this peanut, you can't stop drinking! Can you not become an alcoholic?

Hearing him say this, Yang Chunlai also quickly tasted it, and then took another sip of wine. The salty, crispy flavor fills the entire mouth.

"Good!" Yang Chunlai's face flushed with excitement. If you can make a business with these peanuts, you will definitely make a profit.

I have to say that doing business is engraved in the bones of the Yang family. After tasting the first bite of this peanut, Yang Chunlai's reaction was to sell it.

Yang Chunlai couldn't wait to taste the next dish.

"Why is this duck cold?" Yang Chunlai couldn't help frowning.

"There is something inside, let the slave and maid take it for you." Ruyu stepped forward with a smile and asked for instructions.

Before she came, the young lady had already told her about today's dishes, so now she can deal with this situation in an orderly manner.

Yang Chunlai nodded, and Ruyu picked up a pair of chopsticks and disassembled the duck. The duck's belly suddenly burst into a hot breath, and the whole house was full of fragrance.

"I see." Li Jinyong had to admire Li Tingyu's whimsy, he thought it was just an ordinary duck, but he didn't expect it to be very good.

This duck eats the ingredients in the stomach rather than the duck itself, no wonder it is called Babao duck.

The old lady followed and tasted it, and it was indeed delicious. She couldn't help but order another bowl of rice. Ignoring the other people's greetings, the old lady was enjoying every dish.

Just when the chopsticks reached the Tai Chi taro paste, Li Tingyu came.

"Grandmother beware."
