Chapter 16 Cooking

"Miss, the slave has come in." With shouts of excitement, the door was pushed open; The little girl rushed to Lin Shu like a chicken, pulled the little pestle in front of her and sat down, and excitedly talked about the news she had heard.

It turned out that the little son of Dali Siqing was called Zhang Xiaogongzi, who was sent back to his hometown in Yueyang by his father for reflection five years ago because of a case of robbing a people's daughter, but this little son Zhang did not reflect in his hometown, but relied on his father to be a Beijing official, which made the villagers of ten miles and eight towns respect it, especially those with daughters, and avoided it like a snake and scorpion;

In desperation, the villagers jointly played the petition of the people, hoping that Dali Siqing could take his son back to the capital to manage, so Zhang Xiaogongzi entered Beijing half a month ago;

After entering Beijing, because Mrs. Shaoqing was particularly fond of her, she always felt that Zhang Xiaogongzi had suffered a lot of sins in her hometown, as long as Zhang Xiaogongzi wanted it, Mrs. Shaoqing would try her best to satisfy her;

This little boy used to be a good woman, after five years of indulgence, more and more obsessed, especially like some special behaviors, so all day long to our Yanyu Building on the third floor, five days ago was Dali Siqing knew a lesson, confiscated the silver, and did not dare to come out;

So nest in front of Mrs. Shaoqing, Mrs. Shaoqing felt sorry for her son, so she let people bring the girl to the house, enter through the back door, it will not be known by Lord Zhang, and then every few days every evening, the old bustard arranged for the girl on the third floor to go to Shaoqing's house, and picked it up early the next morning; The fairy girl was sent last night, and when she came back this morning, although she was carried back to her room, she was still alive, and when the maid went to deliver breakfast, she found herself dead in her bed. After that, it was Fu Yin who came to search Yanyu Tower.

It shouldn't be that Drunken Xianzhi killed Zhang Gongzi, the bustard is very cautious, and every time the girls leave, they will let people confirm that they sign and leave, so as not to cause disputes. Then why did Drunken Immortal Zhi die?

"Did he kill Miss Xianzhi?"

"No, it was a suicide, she died by drinking medicine."

"By the way, Miss, the slave maid heard that the Dali Siqing outside had a day of trouble in the Mansion Yin Yamen, saying that it was his son's death that was wronged, and asked the Mansion Yin to administer justice to him."

"It's good that this kind of scourge dies early, and I'm embarrassed to shout wronged, maybe it's the hero passing by, I can't get used to it, and I'm just doing chivalrous justice!" Lin Shu said casually.

"Miss, what you said is so right, it must have been done by the hero, I just don't know why Miss Xianzhi committed suicide?"

The little girl said regretfully.

Lin Shu is also curious, it is better to die than to live, generally live past the first two years, and then you will not think about dying again, why is this?

"What about Ruoqinghong's situation?" Lin Shu couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Qinghong is nothing, but she hasn't eaten much in the morning until now, I heard that she used to eat well, she ate a lot, nothing else, and now she is still practicing hard in the room, it's normal." The little girl replied while thinking.

This kind of performance is obviously abnormal, and I don't know how the little girl thinks she is normal; Hearing the little girl mention eating, Lin Shu's stomach began to growl, it was now past six o'clock, and he was busy with lunch;

I couldn't help but ask, "What's for dinner?" Hearing this, the little girl stood up ashamedly and said, "I'm sorry, miss, the slave forgot to get the food, and now I don't know what is left?" ”

Yes, dinner in the backyard should be early; In the evening, it is the business hours of Yanyulou, and the kitchen people will prepare the backyard meal in advance, and then go to the front yard kitchen to cook for the girls and guests, which is very busy, and some guests are particularly picky about the wine and food, and it takes a lot of effort to do it, as if they are not here to drink flower wine but to eat.

"You go and see what you have to eat first, let's make some living, it's really not good, you go and see what ingredients are in the kitchen, let's make some food ourselves." Lin Shu said helplessly.

"Hey," the little girl responded and went out quickly.

After a while, he came back with an angry face, and there were only two steamed buns left that were cooked and eaten, and there was not even a vegetable soup left.

Looking at the girl's appearance, Lin Shu could only comfort: "This is a green building, you think we call Miss Maid, it's really Miss Maid, it's just a title; Before it brought considerable income to the bustard, it was really good to have meat and vegetables; I don't know how much better life is than ordinary people, so you can be content. ”

"What other ingredients, we will make our own." Lin Shu said as he went out.

"Just a bunch of celery leaves and a piece of chicken."

With that, the two of them came to the kitchen, which was neat and clean; A pile of celery leaves was lazily placed on the board, and the master and servant searched around and found a small piece of chicken breast in the top cabinet, and the only thing left was rice and noodles and seasonings.

Lin Shu looked at the remaining vegetables and meat, and in a moment he had an idea: two names of dishes were searched in his mind: steamed wheat rice and honey chicken.

Lin Shu took off his coat and tied the wide sleeves inside with straps; The loose hair is coiled into a large ball, tied up with a headband; He also told the little maid to clean up as usual. Soon the two of them cleaned up.

"Wash half of the celery leaves on the board."

"Yes"

A small porcelain basin put a little flour, in addition to the traditional flour, Lin Shu added half a handful of soybean flour and corn flour, which is more nutritious.

The washed celery leaves were placed on the side of the board, the dark green leaves were more vivid after being washed with water, a pair of white and delicate hands were quickly organized, and soon they were neatly organized, the girl had a slender and slender finger to buckle these fresh and tender between the board and the fingers, and the other hand picked up the kitchen knife on the knife holder on the side neatly, and shook it skillfully in mid-air, if the knife was lighter;

However, this does not affect the speed of the girl's chopping of vegetables, the knife rises and falls, only the sound of knock knock chopping vegetables is heard, the fresh and tender leaves are first cut into slender strips, and the girl wipes off the remaining leaves on the knife with one hand; Hand the kitchen knife to the dumbfounded little maid on the side, and ordered it to be cleaned.

Then put the leaves in a porcelain basin with flour, sprinkle a little peppercorns, pick up chopsticks and flip and stir, and set aside when the vegetables and flour are completely stirred.

Instructed the little maid to take the steamer for steaming steamed buns, spread a dry steaming cloth on it, poured the vegetable noodles, spread them evenly, put them on the steamer, covered the pot, and ordered the little girl to start the fire.

The garlic is peeled and crushed into garlic paste and served in a white porcelain plate, sprinkled with a handful of chili noodles, waiting for the owner to use.

After doing this, Lin Shu began to prepare the second course of honey chicken, an American Chinese food that he used to eat with his daughter, which tasted very good, and the popularity of the store was often bursting and he needed to queue up to buy it.
