Qiao Su soon went to the backyard of the yamen with his master, "This...... Do you live in the yamen? ”

"Yes." The master nodded lightly and didn't say much.

Although it is the backyard of the yamen, as soon as Qiao Su stepped through the moon gate, he saw the exquisite pavilions and pavilions inside, no wonder he lived here, this is really a good condition, compared with the mottled pillars in the yamen in front, it is really different!

Qiao Su just glanced at it, then lowered his head and followed behind his master, and went directly to the kitchen.

Over there, there's already a cook there.

The master introduced: "This is the chef in the house, although she has good skills, but she is not very good at pasta." ”

Qiao Su nodded, "Where to clean your hands?" ”

"This way, please." The cook hurriedly took Qiao Su over.

Qiao Su cleaned her hand, took the apron and put it around her body, and then began to mix the noodles, she put the eggs and oil that needed to be put in the noodles, and handed them to the cook, and then she began to process the beef.

Qiao Su looked at the master, "The condiments here are not complete, can you ask the master to send someone over to pick up my second apprentice and ask him to send me all the seasonings I use on weekdays?" ”

"Yes!" The master immediately turned around and went out, and found an official to pick up Zhao Guang in Qiao Su's shop.

When Wang Baiyu heard from the official that Qiao Su was making beef noodles for the prefect's mother and was going to take Zhao Guang over to help, he was so jealous!

"Brother Guancha, are you sure that my master is the second apprentice, not the eldest apprentice?" Wang Baiyu said with a tight nose.

The official cha smiled, "I didn't see Master Qiao, I heard about it from Master, it shouldn't be wrong." ”

"Oh, well!" Wang Baiyu quickly smashed all the seasonings commonly used by Qiao Su into a food box, and then handed them to Zhao Guang, "Go and listen carefully to Master's words, don't make trouble for Master, do you know?" ”

"Senior sister, don't worry, I know!" Zhao Guang smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth. The master attached great importance to him, and even asked him to come over to help by name, and at this time, Zhao Guang felt that he was floating when he walked.

Wang Baiyu pouted and sent the official and Zhao Guang out, and then closed the door, in fact, she understood that Qiao Su didn't want her to go over to help, but if she left, what would happen to the three children in the family?

Hey, there's no way, who made her the master's big apprentice?

Wang Baiyu looked at Zhao Xiaoqi and Zhao Bamei behind her, clapped her hands and said, "Come on, let's make caterpillars!" Don't you want to try hawthorn and orange stuffing? Let's do it quickly! Wait for Master and Zhao Guang to come back and surprise them! ”

"Okay! Then we're going to hurry, I'm going to get jam. Zhao Bamei's chubby body turned around and ran into the kitchen.

"Slow down! The jam is in the cupboard, you can't reach it! Zhao Xiaoqi was worried that Zhao Bamei would fall, so he hurriedly ran in.

Qiao Su first cut the beef, then put it in the water to remove the blood, and after washing it twice, he turned up the heat and boiled it to skim off the blood foam.

Then he sat aside and waited, chatting with the cook by the way.

When Zhao Guang came, Qiao Su had already rolled the noodles.

"But it's coming, have you brought all my treasures?" Josu said.

"It's all here!" Zhao Guang patted the food box, and then put the food box on the table on the side.

Qiao Su's apprentices have all come to help, so naturally there is no need for a cook here, everyone has their own secret recipe, and the cook will naturally not leave people to dislike.

In fact, Qiao Su doesn't care, after all, the same ingredients, different people will make different flavors, not to mention that if she is really worried about being imitated, it is estimated that she will be angry with Niu Ji if she finds it.

Qiao Su poured oil into the pot, and then saw dried peppercorns, ginger slices, green onions, and red peppers specially sent by Zhao Guang and threw them into the stir-fry until fragrant.

Then throw the blanched beef cubes in, fry off the water vapor on top, and then add salt, soy sauce, rice wine, star anise...... Stir-fry together until evenly flavored.

In ancient times, there was no pressure cooker, so Qiao Su could only put the fried beef pieces into a small jar and steam them in the pot.

"Master, aren't they all fried? Why is there still steaming? Zhao Guang asked, tilting his head.

"Because beef and mutton have a lot of muscles and brains in them, you can't make them soft just by stir-frying."

Zhao Guang nodded, "So that's the case!" ”

When the heat was about to be close, Qiao Su took out the beef, poked it with chopsticks, and found that the beef had become soft and rotten, so he began to cook the noodles.

Cooking noodles is naturally handed over to Zhao Guanglai.

Now Zhao Guang is very skilled in doing this kind of small work, he skillfully fishes out the noodles with a fence and passes them in cold water for a while, so that the noodles are not easy to stick together.

Dividing the noodles into five large bowls, Zhao Guang asked, "Master, I heard that you only need to make beef noodles for the prefect's mother, how do you make so much?" ”

"Silly boy, why are you so real? If you make more, of course, others can eat it, for example, ......" Qiao Su looked at Zhao Guang with a smile.

Zhao Guang looked up at Qiao Su and whispered, "For example, Lord Prefect?" ”

Qiao Su smiled and didn't speak, she lowered her head and added chopped green onions to the bowl with noodles, poured beef broth, and then put a few pieces of stewed beef in each bowl.

"Master, this beef noodle is so beautiful, much better than Niu Ji!" Zhao Guang hates Niu Ji the most, and he will step on Niu Ji whenever he has the opportunity.

"You! Mouth. Qiao Su smiled and picked up a piece of beef and put it in Zhao Guang's mouth, "Is it delicious?" ”

"Delicious!" Zhao Guang clicked his mouth twice. "Actually, my father took me to eat Niu Kee's beef noodles when I was a child, and there were no Xiaoqi and Xiaoba at that time!"

"At that time, did you think Niu Kee's beef noodles were delicious?" Qiao Su smiled and took out the broken noodles from the pot, made a small bowl and put it on, and made a little for Zhao Guang, "Eat quickly." ”

"Master, you're so nice!" Zhao Guang was worried that he would be discovered, so when the time came, someone would say bad things about his master, so he ate quickly, and he finished it in a few bites, of course, this also had something to do with the fact that there were not many things inside. "At that time, I thought it was delicious! But that's because I haven't seen much of the world! Now that I'm with Master, I hardly touch anything outside! Because it's so unpalatable! ”

Qiao Su shook his head and reached out to poke at his vigorous forehead, "Let's steal honey!" ”

"What the disciples said is the truth!" Zhao Guang smiled and ran to the side to help Qiao Su clean up the seasoning, and then went to clean up the stove.

When Qiao Su walked out, the master was already waiting outside.

She smiled and said to her master: "If I accidentally do too much, the noodles are all in it, if there is nothing else, I will take the apprentice back." ”

The master nodded, ordered his subordinates to go in and bring the beef noodles to the dining room, and then personally went to send Qiao Su and Zhao Guang out.

There was nothing to do, so Lord Jing naturally went home and sat down at the dining table with his family.
