Chapter 65: A Dead Horse Becomes a Live Horse Doctor
"As for meat, it's great to be able to eat a meal all year round, saying that it is a conditional person, during the New Year, buy a pound and a half pound of fat and chop dumplings, that unqualified people, what pig liver, pig lungs, pig intestines, spend a few big sons can also buy a pair, although the taste is worse, it can barely be regarded as meat."
……
Hearing these words of Mrs. Wang and Qin Wu's family, Steward Cai and Tong Shuangxi were dumbfounded.
Tong Shuangxi was stunned because she had never experienced such a hard life before, but Steward Cai was stunned because she couldn't think of how to prepare the food.
"This ...... This is a moment and a half...... Even if you can do it...... You can't really just do that and put it on the table! ”
Those who are officials, when they speak, they are saying that half of them are left behind, and the half left depends on how you realize it, if you are right, you will be Amitabha, if you are wrong, you will be ready to be beaten down to eighteen layers of hell, and you will never be able to turn over!
As soon as he thought that he might have ruined the future of his whole family because of this errand, Steward Cai's forehead was beading with sweat.
Mrs. Wang and Qin Wu looked at Steward Cai in a hurry, and they didn't dare to come up with ideas, after all, Steward Cai's knowledge was much stronger than the two of them, and Steward Cai felt embarrassed, and the two of them had no idea.
Tong Shuangxi saw the anxiety of Steward Cai and Mrs. Wang in his eyes.
"Now I can only treat dead horses as live horse doctors, Steward Cai, are you willing to believe me once?"
Tong Shuangxi is willing to gamble once, but this bet is related to the future of Cai Guanshi, so Tong Shuangxi must ask clearly.
"How?"
Steward Cai is now more concerned about this.
Tong Shuangxi looked at the anxious Cai steward and said: "In the past, when I was in the Wei family, the eldest young master of the Wei family read a few ancient people's food recipes in miscellaneous books, and I thought it was interesting at the time, so I let the maid in the house try it. ”
Hearing Tong Shuangxi's words, Steward Cai, Mrs. Wang, and Qin Wu all showed expectant looks on their faces.
"I think that Lord Liu has never eaten any delicacies and delicacies in the palace, but we can't really entertain him with that coarse food, after all, I have been raised for decades, but I can't help the taste of coarse food, let's combine the two and use fine techniques to make the previous food!"
Tong Shuangxi tried his best to express his thoughts in the most concise words.
Steward Cai, Mrs. Wang, and Qin Wu's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but nod.
"I believe in you! What does this require us to do, just say, don't be embarrassed to call us! ”
It doesn't matter what happens now, the most important thing is to make things well, and Steward Cai doesn't ask how much the food made here satisfies Lord Liu, as long as Lord Liu doesn't blame it.
Tong Shuangxi nodded, she knew in her heart that Steward Cai was eager at this time, so she was not polite, after thinking about it, she asked Steward Cai, Mrs. Wang, and Qin Wu to prepare things separately.
Fresh taro, yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes.
The most common types of noodles eaten by ordinary people in Murakami.
Fine white sugar.
A pair of pigs from the Zhu butcher's house in the east of the village went into the water, a few catties of fat and lean pork.
A few wild vegetables in season.
A few fresh things in the river.
……
These things are not difficult to prepare, and Steward Cai immediately asked people to go down the mountain, enter the mountain, go down the ground, and go into the water......
After these things were ready, Tong Shuangxi left Mrs. Wang, Qin Wu, and the two women in the kitchen who cooked well to help together.
Taro, yam, sweet potato, potatoes and a few wild vegetables are mashed separately into minced pieces, then flour and dough are added separately and covered with dough.
After the dough was kneaded, the pig water and pork were also washed and peeled, and put in front of Tong Shuangxi.
Pork minced and minced green onion and ginger, then put the ingredients to draw water, Wang Pozi kneaded the dough, Qin Wu rolled the skin, Tong Shuangxi used all the power of the wilderness, and wrapped all these pork into dumplings of various patterns.
I think she made a boyfriend from the Northeast at the beginning, and she has made a lot of contributions to this pasta, although the two of them didn't have that fate in the end, but they gradually fell in love with pasta.
After the dumplings were wrapped, the pig over there had already been put into the pot and marinated, Qin Wu's was already good at boiling, plus Tong Shuangxi's little dial, it was even more passable, saving Tong Shuangxi a lot of tongue.
After the various colors of noodles over there were ready, Tong Shuangxi, Mrs. Wang and the two women began to knead the noodles.
……
I don't know how long it took, but Steward Cai hurriedly entered the kitchen.
Lord Liu has already arrived on the mountain with people, and Steward Cai is inevitably nervous.
Just looking at the orderly busy work in the kitchen, Steward Cai's nervous heart suddenly figured it out.
Whether it is successful or not, that's all, after all, he has done his best, even if the nobleman disposes of himself because of this matter, then there is nothing to say.
After figuring out this, Steward Cai, whispered a few words to Tong Shuangxi, and then took someone to prepare tea for the guests.
……
Lord Liu was wearing a blue and purple long robe, which was bright and bright, and he couldn't even see a single fold when he walked.
Seeing that his face was as white as his face and his mouth had no beard, Steward Wen was sure of his identity.
"Lord Liu forgives the villain's rudeness, and can only entertain adults in this barren place!"
Steward Wen didn't dare to look at Lord Liu in front of him.
There is a huge disparity in status, and Steward Wen also received a letter from the nobleman temporarily, saying that the adults in the palace went out of the palace in person, specifically because of something, a person at the level of Steward Wen is not qualified to let the nobleman explain a word.
The noble man only asked Steward Wen to entertain this Lord Liu well, and did not say much about the rest.
Lord Liu was kind, asked a few words with a smile, and asked Steward Wen to take a few of them to see the courtyard that was still being built.
Qin Ergouzi was sent by Steward Wen to greet those who carried the sedan chair, and while he was leaving, he also hurriedly glanced at those people.
All of them are dressed in luxurious and exquisite clothes, and their complexions are even more rare and white, whiter than the most handsome girls in Liuli Village, and they all say that these rootless people have the most eccentric tempers, but Qin Ergouzi is looking at them with beautiful eyebrows, where will there be a trace of evil.
Those rumors are not true.
The sedan chair man had been on the road all morning, he was hungry and thirsty, and Qin Ergouzi took people to Steward Cai.
The meals of these sedan chair men and errand runners, Steward Cai had already let people prepare them, and when he gave an order, he let them take them to dinner.
Qin Ergouzi has been running for a long time after being instructed, and his stomach is also growling with hunger, but he has more important things at this time, so he casually touched a white bun from the pot and went to find Tong Shuangxi.
Tong Shuangxi was busy at this time, Qin Ergou squatted in front of the door for a long time, and he didn't see Tong Shuangxi having any time.
