Chapter 140: Bait
Amber winter melon is a very time-consuming dish, and it takes less than four hours.
She remembered that Princess Pingnan loved this dish the most.
It was after the county lord and the prince of Pingnan made a marriage, one day the princess of Pingnan came to the palace as a guest, and the princess was proud of the filial piety of the county lord and mentioned it to the princess of Pingnan.
Princess Pingnan was very surprised, saying that she had eaten amber winter melon once when she was not out of the cabinet, and then she couldn't find a cook who could do this, and she never forgot it.
The princess didn't understand that amber winter melon was a time-consuming and labor-intensive dish, so she asked the county lord to make this dish and invite Princess Pingnan to taste it.
As a mother, she can't help but show off her daughter's excellence to others.
The princess could not bear to disappoint the princess, so he went to consult her cook who made amber melon, and the lady told her a trick that would greatly shorten the time it took to make the dish.
It's just that the taste is slightly inferior.
"What's the trick?" Xiuyue looked at Luo Sheng and muttered.
Maybe she thought too much, and the amber winter melon that Miss Luo was going to make was not the amber winter melon she thought it was.
There is also a cook who can make amber winter melon, which is made of sweet orange and winter melon, which is very good as a dessert in the hot summer, but the female chef despises it as a street food that cannot be put on the table.
Luo Sheng smiled at Xiuyue: "You can know it just by looking at it." ”
Xiuyue stopped talking, staring intently at the winter melon from the cut flowers to the final piece of crystal clear amber on the plate.
"Where did Miss Luo learn it?" Xiuyue asked eagerly.
Luo Sheng swept the beard squatting in the back kitchen and brushing the dishes, as well as the strong man chopping wood in the yard, and said with a smile: "The person who taught me to cook this dish is a female chef, and I will talk to you carefully when I have time." ”
Xiuyue came to her senses and nodded carelessly: "Okay, good ......"
Luo Sheng shouted to the red beans who lived in to pass the vegetables: "Bring this plate of amber winter melon to Miss Zhu's table, remember to say this......"
After listening to Luo Sheng's explanation, Hongdou took the plate and quickly went to the lobby, and I didn't know how much saliva I swallowed along the way before I couldn't help but taste a piece.
At this time, the second girl Wang had already drunk the last drop of noodle soup, and smiled sweetly at the eldest girl Wang: "Sister, Yangchun noodles are really delicious." ”
Miss Wang quietly pinched her purse, gritted her teeth and said, "Little Er, another plate of braised beef." ”
They share a table with others, how can they not smell the fragrance of the table full of delicacies.
Especially after eating Yangchun noodles, even a bowl of ordinary-looking noodles is so delicious, you can imagine how delicious the braised beef should be.
When the second girl Wang heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I'm full." ”
A plate of braised beef is twenty taels of silver, how can my sister have so much money.
Even if there is, it can't be spent on it.
Miss Wang became more and more sad.
There is a sake brewery that is surprisingly expensive, but it also tastes surprisingly good.
If the mother is still there, it is nothing to take them to spend a few dozen taels of silver to taste fresh.
It's a pity that their mother died early, and they begged for a living under their stepmother, except for tailoring clothes and jewelry according to the season, that is, the monthly money can be used.
Bring my sister here, and the only ones who really dare to taste it are Yangchun noodles and cucumbers.
But the unexpected taste disrupted her plans.
That's it, it's all here, do you want to watch my sister go back after eating half full?
No matter how expensive it is, just eat such a meal.
"I'd like to try it." Miss Wang smiled at her sister and told Chloe to serve the food.
At this time, Hongdou came over and put the plate in front of the two.
There are pieces of crystal clear amber piled up on the plate, and it is not at all obvious what it is, only the alluring color and unique sweetness that make people uneasy.
How expensive this plate is!
The second girl almost jumped up: "I, we didn't order this dish." ”
Miss Wang also quietly squeezed her purse.
This dish looks delicious, it must not be cheap, maybe it is more expensive than braised beef.
The money in her purse was only enough to buy another plate of braised beef.
If she keeps the account and sends the bill to her stepmother when she goes back to the liquor store, she can't stand her stepmother's smile and hides a knife.
Besides, eating meat is more affordable......
Red Bean smiled sweetly: "This is a gift." ”
Gifts?
As soon as these words came out, many eyes immediately came to them.
This includes Wei Han.
The last time someone else ate a gift, he didn't have it, it was when Lin Saijiu brought his grandson to dinner.
This time, why is there another gift?
Feeling Wei Han's gaze, Zhu Hanshuang was suddenly nervous and excited.
Was he looking at her?
Just now, the county lord went to say hello to him, and I didn't see how warm he was to the county lord......
Zhu Hanshuang had all kinds of feelings in her heart for a while, and even ignored why the girl from the Wang family who shared the table had a gift.
Miss Wang remained sober: "I'm sorry, why are we the only ones who give away food?" ”
Even if they are close relatives, they will treat their children separately, let alone outsiders.
There is no such thing as a cheap bargain in the world.
The ears of the drinkers in the lobby couldn't help but prick up.
That's right, why do the two little girls have free food?
Isn't it said that only the second grandson who brought the forest sacrificial wine came to pay half price?
It is said that Zhao Shangshu also brought his grandson to try it, and he didn't give a penny less.
It seems that the grandson who was brought with him was overwhelmed, and Zhao Shangshu didn't come for a while.
"This gift is to compensate the guest officer for being willing to share a table." Red Bean explained.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Can it still be like this? They're happy to share a table, too.
Hongdou followed up and said: "Of course, it's only once, so it's still the two girls who are beautiful and lucky." ”
Miss Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then thank you." ”
Ignoring those stares, the eldest girl Wang raised her chopsticks and put a piece of amber winter melon into the bowl of the second girl: "Sister taste it." ”
Seeing that the things in the bowl were crystal clear, the second girl Wang didn't dare to move her chopsticks for a while, and asked, "May I ask what this is?" ”
"This dish is called amber winter melon, and it is a unique dish in our wine shop."
The second girl Wang opened her eyes in disbelief: "It turned out to be made of winter melon?" ”
She couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in her mouth, showing a satisfied expression.
"Sister, you eat too."
Seeing the two little girls, you and I ate together, everyone was in a hurry.
Whether it's delicious or not, why don't you just care about eating!
Woo woo, it must be delicious, but it's a free dish, and you can't buy it with money.
Wei Wen, the lord of the small county, never opened the amber winter melon after it was served, until there were only three or two pieces of crystal amber left on the plate, and then said, "Give us a plate of amber winter melon." ”
The mother mentioned this dish many times, regretting that no one in the palace could cook it, and said that she also liked to eat it when she was a child.
She couldn't remember what the food she had eaten when she was a child tasted for a long time, but the most important thing was that the concubine liked it.
"I'm sorry, but we don't sell the free food in our wine store." The red bean simply refused.
The girl has already explained that the rules of the wine shop cannot be broken.
Zhu Hanshuang's face sank: "Don't sell it?" You open the door to do business, how can there be such a rule! ”
Hongdou pouted: "The rules are set by our host, even the King of Kaiyang wants to buy it and don't sell it, is it possible that Miss Zhu is bigger than the prince's face?" ”
