Chapter 14: The Wonderful Use of Honey

Guan Yuelin originally thought that Ye Xiao had some secret weapon, and would ask her for a few people who were extremely skilled in cooking to prepare for this bet.

But she racked her brains and didn't expect that Ye Xiao was just looking for her and asked Ah Fu over...... That's right, it's Ah Fu, who was an apprentice in the infirmary before.

Guan Yuelin saw that he was in the hospital, and for the sake of the Guan family's face, she dared to go against Zhang Wanqian, so she transferred him to the Guan Mansion and worked in the mansion.

If this man wants to talk about cooking, he must not have it. As for medical skills...... How much medical skill can a subordinate who is an apprentice in the infirmary have?

Guan Yuelin really didn't know what kind of fame Ye Xiao wanted to do with Ah Fu with him.

In fact, not to mention Guan Yuelin, it is Ah Fu himself, and he doesn't know how he can be by Aunt Ye Xiao's side.

"Could it be that my mother told me that this year, our ancestral grave is smoking, and good things are coming, and I will follow the big families in the future, eating and drinking spicy food?"

Ah Fu thought in his heart, thinking that he would probably be able to be like Ah Wang, who was following Young Master Guan's side, to be a powerful and blessed person, right?

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Ah Fu asked, "Uncle, do you have any plans to bring me to your side?" ”

"Do you know medicine?" Ye Xiao asked.

Ah Fu nodded hurriedly.

As an apprentice in the medical center, the first thing I learned was to learn about various medicinal materials. He had been in the hospital for some years, and of course he knew about those Chinese medicines.

"Just know."

"Uncle, is it possible that you want to?" Ah Fu suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but shudder. Thinking worriedly, he asked tentatively: "Could it be that my uncle wants to drug and poison the Cao family's Cao Pavilion to death?" Such...... Is this gamble nullified? ”

"Ahem......"

Ye Xiao just drank a sip of tea in his mouth and squirted it out directly.

The brain structure of these ancient people is really peculiar, and their ideas are also wild. Such a bold and rampant idea can even be imagined.

"That's a good idea, I didn't think of it before." Ye Xiao chuckled deliberately.

"Plop!"

Ah Fu knelt directly on the ground, his round face turned pale with fright, and he confessed again and again: "Uncle, I can't do this, I am old and young, and I am ...... I don't have it now, but I will definitely have it in the future, and I can't die now......"

Ye Xiao was full of black lines again.

After pulling Afu up, he said helplessly: "Who told you to do it?" ”

Ah Fu was so frightened that his whole body seemed to be soft, and his words trembled slightly: "My uncle is looking for me, doesn't he want me to be this scapegoat?" ”

"Even if I want to find a scapegoat, I won't look for you to be as stupid."

I used to hear the master say that he was stupid, although Ah Fu didn't show it on his face, he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

But now that he heard Ye Xiao say that he was stupid, it made him nod his head as if he heard the sound of heaven: "Uncle is right, the little one is too stupid, and this kind of scapegoat work will definitely not be able to be done." ”

Stunned, Ah Fu changed his words and asked instead: "What is the reason why my uncle is looking for the little one?" ”

"Don't worry." Ye Xiao sighed, no longer joking, and said seriously: "It's just for you to follow me and help me do some small things." ”

The first little thing Ye Xiao asked Ah Fu to help him do was to go to the Wang family's blacksmith shop in the south of the city and take Wang Dazhu's sister Lotus to the restaurant.

"By the way, let Lotus bring all the honey she has in her hands, she may need it."

When Ah Fu was leaving, Ye Xiao did not forget to remind: "Be polite to others, don't scare them." ”

Ye Xiao's idea of finding Ah Fu to do things is very simple, this kid has no other abilities, but he is quite powerful at finding someone...... Just look at the fact that he searched all over Fufeng City and finally found himself in the blacksmith shop.

Ye Xiao didn't expect Ah Fu to do anything powerful, he just hoped that there would be an errand runner...... After all, there are no cars and subways these days.

Fufeng City is quite big, and for a lazy person like Ye Xiao, he really feels a little tired when he runs back and forth.

As soon as Ye Xiao arrived at the restaurant with his front foot, Ah Fu came over with a lotus flower on his back foot.

Xiao Nizi was holding a crockpot in her arms, and she didn't have to think about it to know that what was in the crockpot was naturally honey.

As soon as Lianhua saw Ye Xiao, she was a little excited, and ran over excitedly and asked, "Ye Gongzi, are you looking for me?" ”

"Well, Ah Fudu told you, right?"

Lianhua hurriedly handed over the clay pot in her arms, and then spoke: "I brought all the honey from the house, all of which are here." ”

Under Lotus's curious gaze, Ye Xiao washed his hands first and instructed the chef in the kitchen to prepare half a pot of flour. Then he poured all the honey from the crockpot into the flour, mixed it with some water, and mixed the dough.

Lotus was surprised: "Ye Gongzi, you can also make wheat cakes, I have never eaten this honey wheat cake." ”

It's not that she hasn't eaten it, it's that she is reluctant to eat it like this, but since Ye Xiao has done it, she definitely raises her hands in agreement.

Ye Xiao smiled, secretly thinking that this girl knew the preciousness of honey, but she didn't understand a small trick hidden in honey, that is, the fermentation of flour!

He's working on a new product of this era.

During this period, the use of wheat was limited to steaming, and the use of this grain not only did not make full use of nutrients, but also caused indigestion.

The fermentation of flour is a small innovation, but it can definitely be said to be an innovative invention for the dietary structure.

After Ye Xiao kneaded the flour, Lotus immediately said, "Ye Gongzi, I'll go steam...... I'll do that too. ”

She rushed to serve the basin, but Ye Xiao refused, and he asked Lianhua to take a clean wet cloth and cover it on the flour basin.

Lianhua was confused and said, "Ye Gongzi, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Save this flour overnight."

Lianhua didn't know if Ye Xiao was joking or serious, and said cautiously: "But...... It's going to be rancid. ”

She cautiously saved Ye Xiao's face, but she was afraid that Ye Xiao would be embarrassed if she didn't know how to pretend to understand.

Solo Fei just smiled, and the subsequent movements were even more bizarre...... He used another brazier, filled it with some unburned coals, and buried it inside, with only a little residual heat on the surface.

Then I put the kneaded flour on top of the brazier and tested the temperature.

Lotus and Ah Fu were a little embarrassed on their faces, secretly thinking that Ye Xiao estimated that his hands had not been stained with meat, and he didn't know that the flour would only be cooked if it was steamed on the stove?

It's just that they just smiled kindly at Solo Fei, and secretly wanted to do it with him, even if Solo Fei threw this thing away, they couldn't say anything.

They don't say it, but it doesn't mean that the chefs in the restaurant don't talk about it.

"What is this waste uncle messing with? Could it be that you want to steam out wheat cakes by relying on that little spark? ”

"These young masters, ten fingers don't touch the spring water, can they still know how to cook? I'm afraid I haven't even burned a fire, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let my uncle hear it later, there is your good fruit to eat......"

Ye Xiao didn't have his ears back, of course he heard these gossips in his ears, but he just smiled and didn't think about it.

He doesn't care what others say, and what the result is is what he cares about.

After doing this, Ye Xiao washed his hands before he spoke: "It will take several hours for the flour to ferment, and it's not too early today, let's go and rest first." ”

Honey is precious, although Ye Xiao used it, but Lotus was still a little distressed.

Although he was called by Ye Xiao at this time, he refused to leave, and always stayed in front of the flour basin.

Fortunately, the restaurant is used for accommodation and catering, and there are guest rooms upstairs. Ye Xiao didn't plan to let Lianhua go back alone at night, and after instructing Ah Fu to arrange a room for her, she went back to sleep.

……

Early the next morning, Ye Xiao returned to the restaurant early.

The sky was bright, the morning star was bright, and Lotus was squatting in the kitchen, still watching the pot of flour.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but lean over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lianhua was startled, and when she turned around and saw that it was Ye Xiao, she stood up and said, "No...... It's nothing. ”

"This kid didn't know if he was afraid that the basin would be stolen or that he would be rancid, so he came out and looked at it several times in one night." Ah Fu smiled when he saw this.

Lianhua blushed, and when she saw that Ye Xiao was about to uncover the wet wipes on the basin, she said, "Ye Gongzi......"

"What's wrong?"

Lianhua was very worried: "I tell you, if the face is rancid or rotten, you must not be sad. ”

She secretly lifted the wet cloth a few times earlier, and when she saw that her face was not rancid, but it was rotten, she secretly felt sorry for Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was stunned at first, and said with a dumb smile: "It's not rotten, it's hair." ”

"Sent it?" Lotus was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
