Chapter 112: Lotus Cabbage
Ye Xiaohua decided that Mrs. Qin was really good, and it was really a bit difficult to leave her here alone with the two old ladies, after all, she was not very familiar.
"Go, go, when people are old, they don't want to be welcomed, and no one wants to talk to us old guys." Old Madam Luan complained with a smile, but waved her hand at Ye Xiaohua, "Let's play with your sister." β
Ye Xiaohua had already heard the change in title, but she deliberately ignored it.
People give face, but she can't force it up, she still has to keep an appropriate distance, which Ye Xiaohua has always insisted on.
"Then I'll go with my wife."
Out of the door, Ye Xiaohua took a long breath, and then planned to quickly take off the bracelet, she didn't dare to ask for such a valuable thing, but Mrs. Qin saw through her mind one step earlier, "Alas, don't you want to give it to me, I don't dare to mention that she took it back, if you want to return it, you will return it to her, otherwise I will be scolded." β
She said so, and Ye Xiaohua didn't want to embarrass her, so she just took off the bracelet and put it close to her body, so as not to be accidentally broken by herself.
"But then again, Xiaohua, since my grandmother gave it to you, she will never take it back," Mrs. Qin smiled meaningfully, "In short, you should keep this thing steadily, if you have to return it today, according to my grandmother's temper, I am afraid that this bracelet will only end up being broken by her." β
After speaking, she also winked at Ye Xiaohua.
Ye Xiaohua felt that it was very likely that it was what she guessed, and she couldn't ask for it, or she would definitely have to pay it back, but it would be a pity if such a good thing was destroyed.
The Qin family has a big business, and the chef invited is comparable to a big restaurant, but today Mrs. Qin deliberately instigated Ye Xiaohualu, she was so enthusiastic that Ye Xiaohua had no way to refuse.
There are both northern and southern dishes in the kitchen of the Qin family, even very rare ingredients can be found here, Ye Xiaohua glanced at the Qin family's cooks are mostly meat dishes, and even the rich families who celebrate the New Year are the same, especially when they came out, they heard the two old ladies talking, they were tired of eating meat, and they had no appetite.
She glanced at the cabbage that had been left in the corner and decided to make some vegetarian dishes.
Ye Xiaohua was a guest, and when she saw that she had the idea of cabbage, she didn't dare to stop her, but kindly reminded her, "Little flower girl, that cabbage is for us to eat." β
Ye Xiaohua smiled apologetically, she had moved other people's ingredients, "Then can I borrow one?" β
"When...... Of course," the cook scratched his head embarrassedly, he didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to tell her that the cheap cabbage did not match the identity of the guest, "There are many expensive ingredients, why don't you take a look?" β
Ye Xiaohua waved her hand, "Thank you, but I want to make a dish with Chinese cabbage today." β
In front of Mrs. Qin, the cook couldn't say anything, but what he thought in his heart was, the country girl has never seen any world, has never seen good things, and who eats Dabai in a rich family.
But he soon changed his mind.
Ye Xiaohua picked up a cabbage, put it on the cutting board, and divided it into two, but what puzzled the cooks was that she didn't want delicious cabbage leaves, but kept the cabbage gang that even they didn't like to eat.
Thinking that she had been reminded before, she didn't listen, so she didn't want to persuade her at this time, anyway, she was a guest, she said, continue to be busy with the dishes she wants to cook, and leave her alone to tinker there.
Ye Xiaohua first pruned each piece of cabbage root into nearly triangular petals, washed them, and made a lotus flower, and then washed the plucked large leaves and soaked them in boiling water, soaked until soft, and kept for later use.
The cooks left her alone to tinker here, but no one believed that a country girl could make something delicious with a cabbage.
But occasionally, I still ask, "Little flower girl, do you want sausages here?" β
Sausage?
Ye Xiaohua nodded with a smile and gestured with her hand, "Just give me this." β
"So a little bit is enough to do, give you more."
Ye Xiaohua hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, just give me a little." β
Anyway, if she wants to come, it will be decorative, and if there is more, it will take away the taste of the cabbage itself.
The cooks shook their heads one after another, it seemed that they didn't have much hope for Ye Xiaohua, Ye Xiaohua was cutting, wrapping and arranging by herself, and she was very happy.
But no one thought that only the Chinese cabbage that people would eat, after being pounded by Ye Xiaohua for a while, when it came out of the steamer, it turned into a blooming white lotus.
No one thought that cheap cabbage could be made into such a high-end appearance, but they didn't know how it tasted.
"Hmmm! Nice and delicious. β
As soon as the lotus cabbage was on the table, it attracted the attention of several people, and after Mrs. Luan, the oldest lady took the lead in tasting it, she nodded frequently towards Ye Xiaohua, "What a clever girl, better than our cook's skills, if I don't taste it myself, I won't believe it when I say it's cabbage." β
"You are too awarded, my cooking skills naturally can't be compared with your cook, you think it's delicious, it's nothing more than the New Year's season, eating too much fish and meat, so that I can take advantage of this light side dish."
"I'm really good at talking, this is not a small dish, and a big restaurant may not be able to make such a good thing." Mrs. Luan now looks at Ye Xiaohua, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.
After Mrs. Qin tried it, she was also full of praise for Ye Xiaohua's cooking skills, "It's a pity that my stupid son doesn't have this mouthful, and he is also busy with business during the Chinese New Year, and he can't go home." β
Qin Shuhe spent the New Year at home, and then went to work on business, and he hasn't come back yet.
Originally, Ye Xiaohua still wanted to tell him something, but since he was not there, it was the same with Mrs. Qin.
From entering the door to being praised until leaving, Ye Xiaohua has to feel that she has nothing in the sky and no earth, but fortunately, she always maintains her sanity.
Mrs. Qin sent her to the door, "You were watching me while you were eating, but what's the matter?" β
Mrs. Qin is so smart, Ye Xiaohua is also relieved, "What happened to Miss Yin before before, can you check it again afterwards?" β
"Wasn't that an accident?" Mrs. Qin has never experienced the intrigue in the mansion, so she has such a naΓ―ve idea, and Qin Shuhe is so busy with business, I am afraid that she will not take care of it.
Ye Xiaohua regretted a little, she shouldn't have told her this, but it had already begun, if she didn't say it, Mrs. Qin would also ask, "If I'm not mistaken, this may not be an accident." β
"What?" Mrs. Qin felt that she had goosebumps all over her body, but looking at Ye Xiaohua's expression, it didn't look like she was joking, and she didn't look like such a bad person would joke about it.
"Then who wants to harm Yue'er?" Mrs. Qin asked nervously.
