Chapter 169: Making a Shoubao is a technical job
She called the lotus seed lily and continued to help with the noodles.
The longevity bags of the Tianling Kingdom have a uniform size standard, and they are all made into the shape of peaches.
Generally, large families invite the most famous cooks in the neighborhood to make longevity bags.
Fang Yishu invited her to come, which gave Tang Mian great motivation.
The whole imperial city is a gathering place for dignitaries, if you do a good job of the prime minister's birthday bag today, isn't it to make her famous, thinking that the silver will flow into the money bag in the future, she is excited in her heart.
"Miss Tang, the spinach juice and purslane juice you want are ready! But what do you want to do with this? Without bothering to explain to the butler, she took it and added each of the two pots of flour at hand, causing the butler to cry out in surprise.
"Miss Tang, what are you doing, the face is all colored, what should I do!"
Tang Mian ignored his panic, but motioned to the lotus seeds and lilies to knead their dough separately.
She prepares the stuffing herself.
The butler shouted, telling someone to prepare the noodles again.
Fortunately, Xiao Liuzi was very smart and hurriedly stopped him, "Butler, what color is the peach we usually eat?" ”
"Pink and green! Ah! Little Liuzi, now is not the time to ask this, if this messes up the master's longevity peach, all of us will be finished. Seeing that he hadn't reacted yet.
Xiao Liuzi reluctantly reminded: "Miss Tang is now making colored longevity bags. ”
These words woke up the housekeeper, but he still didn't believe it, and walked quickly to Tang Mian to ask a few questions.
"Rest assured! Butler, I make sure that none of you have ever seen it! Not only is it delicious, but it also looks good! Tang Mian said to him with a smile.
But he was very cautious, he still didn't believe what Tang Mian said, and he was still standing beside her and watching her make those fillings.
Calculating the time, Tang Mian saw that the longevity bag was not bad.
Tell the servant to inform the man to send it to the banquet.
The housekeeper had to see what the longevity bag looked like.
Tang Mian knew that if he didn't give him a look, he wouldn't give up.
So I took the initiative to lift the lid.
In an instant, the mist rose and dissipated a few moments later, and a huge peach appeared in the boiler.
"Look good!"
"This longevity bag is similar to the longevity peach in the painting scroll of the Antarctic immortal."
"It's just a big peach!"
……
Listening to everyone's praise, Tang Mian smiled.
I think that in order to please Shen Guangbo's mother, she personally studied the longevity bag in the shape of a fairy peach for a long time, and gave her a lot of face.
Today, this shou bao is full of fillings made of brown sugar, and Prime Minister Xu likes sweets so much, he will definitely like this shou bao.
Don't make Tang Mian's inference.
The moment the guys who delivered the shou bao opened the lid again, the eyes of the guests never took their eyes off the shou bao.
"It's really a peach!"
"It's so beautiful, you can't tell it's made of flour at all!"
"It's pretty!"
……
Listening to the praise of the guests, Prime Minister Xu felt face-saving.
The housekeeper brought him a knife and asked him to distribute it to everyone.
It didn't take long for a small portion to be served.
Prime Minister Xu looked at the small longevity bag in his hand, sniffed the familiar brown sugar sesame walnut filling and took a bite, and his eyes were instantly full of tears.
Seeing this, Fang Yishu thought that there was something wrong with the shou bao, and he also took a bite.
It's sweet and soft, and it's so delicious.
Even people like him, who don't like sweets very much, think it's delicious.
The filling inside is something my father-in-law doesn't like to eat.
He looked at it carefully, and it was all his old man's favorite food.
So why did he cry?
"Count! Go back and give a reward of one hundred taels of silver to the chef you invited, this longevity bag is so delicious, I remember when I was a child, my family was poor, and I couldn't even eat chewing candy all year round, that year my mother made a lot of silver money by making embroidery, and the bun I made was this flavor...... "Prime Minister Xu didn't like to show his emotions in front of people, but now he ate this longevity bag, which reminded him of his mother who had died of illness for many years, and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, so he chattered a lot.
The words caused the ladies in the family to cry.
Especially Fang Yishu's wife Xu Qing'er cried the most.
Seeing this, Fang Yishu could only walk up to her and comfort her.
Tang Mian was inconvenient to go out to meet guests, so she could only stay in the kitchen, they had been busy from the morning to now, and they hadn't even eaten a mouthful of rice, she saw that there was still a lot of cold rice left in the kitchen, so she simply fried a fried rice for everyone.
"Miss Tang, your cooking skills are really good, I have grown so big, and it is the first time I have eaten such fragrant fried rice."
"Me too."
"And me."
……
Seeing that everyone likes to eat the meals she cooks, Tang Mian is very happy.
After lunch, nothing happened to her, and she was about to leave when the housekeeper hurried into the house.
A gloomy face.
"Miss Tang, something is wrong, you have to help me this time, otherwise I will be kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion-" The tail note dragged on for a long time, and the housekeeper was afraid that Tang Mian would not hear it clearly, so he walked in quickly and told her about the general situation.
It turned out that they had set up more than 50 tables of meals with the largest restaurant in the imperial city, "Xianhe Tower", and sent them after they were ready.
The boss and shopkeeper of the Immortal Crane Tower personally apologized, saying that the four cooks in their family all had accidents, two injured their hands and feet, one got his eyes, and the rest were missing.
Nowadays, no one is going to fry those dishes.
Tang Mian heard that the housekeeper wanted her to help cook the dishes.
She was a little hesitant, she hadn't made the nine dishes they were going to eat in a long time.
If you don't put the right ingredients when you spoon it, the resulting dish will become unpalatable.
"Please! Miss Tang! The housekeeper knelt down, and all the housekeepers and maids in the kitchen knelt down.
Even with Xiao Liuzi, there is no exception.
"Miss Tang, if the housekeeper can't find a cook, and the dishes he makes are not to the prime minister's appetite, not only the subordinates in the kitchen will be punished, but even the young master will be implicated, after all, he is the host of this banquet." Xiao Liuzi saw that Tang Mian's face had changed, and knew that she had really listened, so he didn't continue.
After that, Tang Mian gave an order to the kitchen people, and asked the shopkeeper to go to the restaurant to bring all the vegetables and vegetables.
"You must now be in good spirits, and in a moment you must do your part, and in an hour all the meat and vegetables must be washed and cut into pieces or dices according to the standard I say, and the rest of us must cut the stoves outside the courtyard during this time...... Okay, everyone can disperse. ”
An hour and a half was just enough for Tang Mian and them to cook.
In order to delay time, Tang Mian asked the housekeeper to serve dessert first.
He kept his hand off the spatula, and began to fry four pots at the same time, and stunned the surroundings.
Especially Xiao Liuzi, he was amazed that Tang Mian was so powerful.
I think it would be good if the young master could marry her back then, after all, this kind of woman who can go to the hall and enter the kitchen is not common.
"Eight treasure duck, rich fish, three yellow chicken......" The small guys served the dishes in the order explained by Tang Mian,
Everyone looked at the fixed nine-course meal of the birthday banquet, and they didn't have much appetite.
There are quite a few of them, and they have to attend an average of six or seven birthday banquets a month, and the birthday banquets of the Tianling Kingdom are also eaten with the fixed eight-course dishes, except for the remaining bowl of soup that can be put at will, the ingredients of the remaining eight dishes are similar.
However, since it was the Prime Minister's birthday banquet, even if they didn't have an appetite, everyone picked up their chopsticks and symbolically chose a dish to eat.
They didn't want to take just one bite, and they all followed the petrification.
What does it taste like?
It's delicious!
At the end of the dinner, everyone was satisfied.
There are also many people who say that the skills of the chefs in the White Crane Tower family have improved.
Even such an ordinary dish can make it so delicious.
What a bargain for this trip!
"How? Chamberlain! Tang Mian and all of them were resting in the kitchen, waiting for the housekeeper's feedback.
The housekeeper knelt down in front of Tang Mian again, startling her again.
It shouldn't be that someone doesn't like to eat the food she cooks, after all, people who come often eat delicious food on weekdays.
It's not surprising that she thinks the food she cooks is unpalatable.
Shouldn't the prime minister show the butler's face in anger?
Thinking of this possibility, she was very reluctant to go.
