Chapter Eighty-Six: The Imperial Kitchen
Jiang Ran glued the cured incense powder with refining honey, and then kneaded them into the shape of a pagoda one by one.
Liu Yue watched from the side and nodded secretly. Although she obeyed her son's orders, she still had doubts about such a delicate little girl as Jiang Ran. Now, it seems that a lot of things have changed.
This girl should have some foundation and talent in ingredients, and if she is a pharmaceutical in the future, she will be more accomplished than herself.
Ran Yun'er leaned over to look at it and asked, "That's good?" ”
"Wait until it's dry," he instructed Bai Wei to take it out to dry.
Jiang Ran cleaned his hands.
I washed my face again.
So that's all that remains is the medicine pillow.
The formula of the medicine pillow is based on white chrysanthemum, magnet, nightshade, acacia flower, and then supplemented by some soothing drugs such as Yuanzhi and stone calamus.
In the evening, the inner pillow was sewn and filled with medicinal herbs, and a fragrance came to the face.
Ran Yun'er hugged and refused to let go, "Sister, I'm a little reluctant to send it out, I want to sleep on my pillow." ”
Jiang Ran snatched it over, "You don't wake up until dawn every day, if you use this tranquilizing pillow, wouldn't you sleep until three poles in the morning." ”
Ran Yun'er smiled solemnly, "That's right, then I don't want this medicine pillow, good sister, when I get married, you will embroider a pair of pillows for me that have been in harmony for a hundred years and give them to me." ”
Jiang Ran was amused by her, and nodded her forehead with his hand, "You are really not ashamed." ”
Ran Yun'er said with a smile, "Talking about marriage is justified, what is there to be ashamed of." ”
Saying that, Ran Yun'er took a handkerchief to cover her lips and smiled, "You want to be the pure-hearted Buddha family, I don't want to, I'll tell you." ”
She quietly leaned into Jiang Ran's ear and whispered, "Mother and grandmother are already paying attention to me, and my mother said that I must find someone honest and honest with such a temperament." ”
Jiang Ran was a little stunned when he heard this, how familiar this is, his mother also said this in the past, "My Ran Ran is arrogant, and I must find someone honest and honest to rest assured." ”
Pity the world's motherly heart.
She was a little envious of this cousin's carefree temperament. But he was really happy for her. "Okay, well, I will definitely prepare a century-old embroidered pillow for you in advance, and I wish my sister and Brother-in-law Ran a couple for a lifetime."
The two laughed together.
Ran Yun'er handed the pillow core to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran instructed Zisu, "You and Bai Wei are careful, keep it well, and wait for the pillowcase to be embroidered before putting it in." ”
As she was talking, Bai Zhi came in with a smile, "Two girls, my wife said that she had started to pass the meal, so let the two girls go over for dinner." ”
Jiang Ran and Ran Yun'er walked towards the Evergreen Hall with a smile and a smile.
From the moment you step into the yard, you will be greeted by a special scent.
Jiang Ran and Ran Yun'er glanced at each other.
Ran Yun'er said in surprise, "Sister, is your family's new cook?" This level seems to be at the level of an imperial chef. ”
Imperial Chef?
Ran Yun'er just praised it casually, and Jiang Ran's shadow immediately appeared in Jiang Ran's mind.
She was almost sure in her heart that the few cooks who came to apply for the job were also found by Murong Yu.
Jiang Ran's fascination was done, and Ran Yun'er had already pulled her into the house. Mother Qin also walked over with a surprised face, "Girl, we have oral administration, and I just learned that the husband of the sister-in-law used to be a cook in a restaurant in Kyoto, and she learned a good dish from a man, and now that she is older, she has returned to her hometown." ”
Jiang Ran glanced at it, and half of the dishes were already served on the table. It looked so delicate that she hadn't seen it before.
"Go and call this sister-in-law, I'll see you."
Soon Sister-in-law Sun came in hunched over, and was about to kowtow when she entered the door.
Jiang Ran hurriedly said to Qin's mother, "Quickly help Sister-in-law Sun up." ”
He asked his sister-in-law again, "We haven't seen any of these dishes." ”
Sister-in-law Sun stepped forward, "This is stuffed fruit lotus, this is hibiscus swallow vegetables, and this is braised carp."
Sister-in-law Sun introduced them one by one, every dish is very ordinary, but it looks unusual.
"Sister-in-law Sun's good cooking skills are a bit condescending to stay in our small kitchen." Jiang Ran's tone was full of respect.
Sister-in-law Sun smiled, "The girl said that she laughed, the girl looked at the slave family, it was the blessing of the slave family, as for Yuefeng, the notice made it clear, and the slave family naturally came after thinking about it." ”
Jiang Ran had a headache, she just wanted to recruit an ordinary cook to regulate her mother's body, this imperial chef level, how could a small temple like her afford it.
The Ran family was obviously extremely satisfied, "I didn't expect that we still have such a real chef in Guangling. Sure enough, Ran Ran still has a good eye, and Qin's mother has not chosen such a suitable one for a few days. What do you girl still pick and choose, I'm in charge, it's just this sister-in-law. ”
Jiang Ran couldn't say anything, so he had to pull out a smile and take a seat.
Ran Yun'er sat next to Jiang Ran and said with a smile, "Auntie, don't say it, even our family's cooks don't have such a good level, this dish is not only delicious, but also beautiful." ”
As he spoke, he touched Jiang Ran with his arm, and said quietly, "Just looking at this style is stronger than today's cook who sings late in the fishing boat." ”
However, it was said that throughout the day of Changshou Hall, Mrs. Jiang's dishes were greatly discounted.
In the morning, it was porridge and steamed buns, and at noon, there were four dishes and one soup, and I didn't even see the fish.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Cheng Lanxin has also eaten such dishes before, but now she is used to eating big fish and meat in the Jiang family, and suddenly changed to clear porridge and side dishes, Cheng Lanxin is a little difficult to swallow.
After eating three meals in a row, Mrs. Jiang couldn't stand it, "Why is this dish like this today?" ”
Mama Kong was on the side and glanced at Cheng Lanxin, "Back to the old lady, yesterday Miss Lan's set of heads, plus the wages of the clothes, a total of four hundred and twenty taels, excluding the twenty taels given by the uncle, four hundred taels were spent on the account, and now if you don't save some food, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to last at the end of the month." ”
Mrs. Jiang has always regarded money as her life, and she also regrets it a little at the moment, but it is not shown on her face after all.
Peony and crape myrtle's entire knees are a little swollen, Jiang Zhengtang means that the Jiang family is also a big family in Guangling, if it is spread out to abuse people, I am afraid that it will not have a good reputation for the Jiang family.
Therefore, Jiang Zhengtang prescribed some medicines, and specially asked Mama Kong to assign a girl to take care of the peony and crape myrtle.
Agarwood was led home, Peony and Ziwei were injured, and only Xinhe and Xintao were left by Mrs. Jiang's side.
Xintao was arranged to take care of Peony and crape myrtle, and only Xinhe was transferred by the envoy.
These are all caused by Cheng Lanxin's desire for that set of head noodles.
At this time, Mama Lian Kong complained a little in her heart that Cheng Lan was troubled.
