Chapter Thirty-Eight: Near Zhu Zhechi
"Come back with me! Be the chef of the lord of the prefecture. Nangong Keqing is clear, she is righteous, but she is not a person who is easy to be soft-hearted, she sympathizes with the weak, but it does not mean that she will overflow, what he values is also the so-called value.
Zhao Cheng was terrified, "The county lord is not afraid that the small people will affect you?" He asked incredulously.
"What's so scary, as long as you're not afraid. And your cooking skills don't let me down, don't make me regret using you. Nangong Keqing's serious expression didn't show a hint of joke.
"Xiaomin will not disappoint the county lord." Zhao Cheng said categorically.
Back in the medical hall, Nangong Keqing asked Zhang Yuan to pack out a ward on the second floor for Zhao Cheng to live in, and his original house had been taken over by Zhizhou, before he met Nangong Keqing, he had been living in the temple, and a forty-five-year-old man was still alone.
Nangong Keqing called Xiaoyue, Qin Qing, Zhang Yuan, and Wang Jiang out, and enjoyed a gourmet feast on the long table in the courtyard.
Then, Nangong Keqing arranged for Yu Ling to go to the Nishang Yuyi Pavilion to buy two sets of clothes for the chef, and bought some daily necessities, Zhao Cheng was grateful, no longer thinking nonsense, and just wanted to serve the county lord well.
"Chongyang, accompany me to find a blacksmith tomorrow." Nangong Keqing said.
"Why is Miss looking for a blacksmith?" Chongyang was puzzled.
Nangong Keqing blinked and smiled wisely, "Guess?" ”
"No one can guess what Miss is thinking." Chongyang said seriously.
Nangong Keqing was mischievously funny: "Xiao Yangyang, I'm getting more and more naughty." ”
Chongyang shivered and turned to run away, and her silver bell-like laughter came from behind.
In the blacksmith shop, Nangong Keqing took out a drawing from his sleeve and handed it to the blacksmith, and the things drawn on the picture made the blacksmith look suspicious.
Looking at his appearance, you knew that he didn't understand, Nangong Keqing took the trouble to say two or three times, "This is a pot, and you can put a carbon fire under this chimney-like ......"
Chongyang stretched out his head and wanted to see what was going on, but he still didn't understand what was going on, their girls always had these strange ideas and couldn't figure it out.
Nangong Keqing explained to the blacksmith and came to pick up the finished product five days later.
"Girl, what amazing thing is going to be done here?" Chongyang is unswerving, and his girl just wants to do something.
"Haha, Xiao Yangyang finally understands me! You guessed it, but ...... Confidentiality for the time being. Nangong Keqing put her index finger to her mouth and smiled slyly.
Chongyang was already surprised, but said with disgust: "Can you not call me like that?" I'm not that small. ”
"Aren't you small?" Nangong Keqing said with a smile.
Chongyang was speechless, and he was messy in the wind alone.
"Ni Shang Yu Yi Pavilion" she rarely shows up, since the management rights are handed over to Sister Qing, she must do the least trust.
She is a commander behind the scenes, and the key is to worry about it.
Nangong Keqing ran out every day, and ran all over several main streets......
Chongyang knew that she couldn't be idle, and if she didn't toss, it wouldn't be her.
Finally let her find a big shop, the second floor also looks at the river, this is a modern river view room!
But it's really expensive, and after several negotiations, the boss still doesn't reduce the price, two thousand taels of silver. Indeed, how can such a good paved section be reduced in price? He's not stupid.
"If I sell this shop for 5,000 taels, someone will buy it, the girl doesn't have to think that I have earned more money from you, and this restaurant has done well before, the key is that our boss has other plans, and his mind is not on this, so the boss plans to sell." This man is telling the truth.
"Alright! Pay the deposit to you first, and pay the full amount tomorrow, okay? Nangong Keqing made up her mind and no longer regretted it.
"The girl is simply, just follow the girl."
After reaching an agreement, Nangong Keqing and Chongyang came to the blacksmith shop, sure enough, the ancient blacksmith still has the ability, after reading the drawings and explaining it a few times, he can make a hot pot close to the modern one, amazing!
Nangong Keqing was very happy, and muttered to the blacksmith: "You are making sixty pots for me, this is fifty taels of deposit, I will come to get it in a month and a half, and it will be exactly the same." ”
"Girl, are you serious?" The blacksmith looked confused, this is too big, just a deposit of fifty taels, this pot is so valuable? This can't be cooked! This girl's head is fine! Spending so much effort just to make sixty mouthfuls?
"Really, really, you just do it! Don't you want to give silver? Nangong Keqing said with a sound.
"Good, good...... The girl is a good talker, and she will definitely make it for you in a month. "He doesn't have to take orders from others for more than a month, it's enough.
"Let's go, go home, my sister will make you something to eat." Nangong Keqing was overjoyed.
Chongyang's face was incredulous, "You can also cook?" ”
"What's your young lady wouldn't?" Nangong Keqing looked proud.
Chongyang thought to himself, yes, here it is again......
"Hmmm! Omnipotent and ......invincible," Chongyang said jokingly.
"Xiao Yangyang has gone bad......" Nangong Keqing smiled mischievously.
"The one who is close to the ink is black."
Nangong Keqing said angrily: "It's close to Zhu Zhechi."
Back in the courtyard, she drove the two girls and Chongyang out of the kitchen, and the chef Zhao Cheng looked at her pitifully and begged: "County lord, the little ones don't have to go out!" The small one is your chef, you have to cook, and the small one is not good to go out! ”
She thinks about it! There's got to be someone who said, "Okay, you stay." ”
Turned around and went into the kitchen, leaving the three of them messy in the wind.
I saw her going in and out for a while, and then making a tinkling sound, and a few people watched their young lady busy going in and out, the corners of her mouth twitched, is this still their young lady? They seriously doubted that she could cook, and the young lady's hands were good at healing, so how could she cook?
Although she has made delicious breakfasts and snacks many times before, there is still a difference between it and the main meal, is she going to make a big meal on the table?
Yu Ling couldn't stand it anymore, and said distressedly: "Miss, let the slave come!" Beware of cutting your hands! ”
Nangong Keqing didn't look back, leaving her with a very serious back, "Don't worry!" Miss Ben is cooking you a big meal today. ”
A few people were so moved that they almost cried, whose master would cook for the slaves? In their bones, respect and humility are deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and being able to let them follow such a master is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.
They didn't dare to go in again, for fear that their young lady would be angry, and she was like that, and once she decided, it was difficult to change.
"Rain Lotus ......"
Yuhe was so happy that she thought that Miss was asking her to help! ran over happily, but was kicked out by her.
"Miss." Yuhe stomped his feet.
"Good boy! Go and invite Xiaoyue and Sister Qing. Nangong Keqing commanded.
In the kitchen, Zhao Cheng snorted, his face full of shock.
"County Lord, did you invent this? It's really unprecedented, can you eat something cooked like this? ”
"County Lord, why is this pot so strange?"
"County Lord, can you cook these raw things together? Doesn't it smell good? ”
"County Lord ......" Zhao Cheng was surprised, and suddenly it became 100,000 why? For a while, I didn't realize that I had become so much at once.
Nangong Keqing didn't blame, after all, it was difficult for anyone to accept, "This is called hot pot, it was not invented by the county lord, its earliest origin was invented by Genghis Khan." ”
Genghis Khan has been commanding troops to fight in all directions for many years, and seeing that it is time-consuming for soldiers to eat traditional barbecue mutton, in order to make the troops not delay the warplane, he cut the mutton into small pieces and threw it into a boiling pot, and since then there has been a hot pot in this world.
From a certain point of view, it was the hot pot that enabled the Mongol cavalry to fill their stomachs, capture the Central Plains with high spirits, and fight westward to Central Asia.
Zhao Cheng was a little confused, and just wanted to ask a question, he was blocked back by Nangong Keqing, "Don't ask me who Genghis Khan is!" "You can't be serious with them, because if there's a problem, there's a bunch of questions.
"You'll know when you're done, by the way, how are your knife skills?"
Zhao Cheng was full of confidence, "The county lord can test it casually." ”
Nangong Keqing handed him a few large pieces of frozen beef and mutton, "Here, cut these pieces of meat into thin slices of meat into the shape of a roll, you can do it!" ”
"It can be done." Chef Zhao said with great certainty.
After a while, a plate of meat slices curled up on the plate.
"It's worthy of being a chef, and sure enough, there are two hits, and the knife skills are good." Nangong Keqing did not hesitate to praise it, and then immersed himself in cutting the mushrooms in his hand and cut them into a cross shape.
A burst of aroma wafted into your face...... It is the taste of hanging soup.
The hanging soup is made with an old hen, an old duck, 15 catties of pork bones and 4 catties of crucian carp (crucian carp must be wrapped in gauze when boiling soup).
As the saying goes, "no chicken, no fresh, no duck, no fragrant, no bones." "When hanging white soup, you must be careful about the combination of ingredients to ensure that the soup tastes good. Its characteristics are: milky white color, positive taste, and strong consistency.
Nangong Keqing prepared a bunch of hot pot bases, a total of six kinds, and what they ate today was spicy hot pot bases, of course, this spicy degree has been halved, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it.
"County lord, the soup is ready."
Everything is ready, sauces, side dishes are also ready, what lamb rolls, beef rolls, potato chips, mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, spinach, tofu, chrysanthemum, ham, hairy tripe, duck intestines, duck blood, winter melon, chicken wings, shrimp and so on.
"It's time to eat......"
At this time, Xiao Yue and Qin Qing had already arrived.
