Chapter 81: Pea Yellow
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] It is really difficult to find Chen Mao. He only said that he wanted to hide in his aunt's house in the countryside, but in a place as big as Nanjing, where could he find it. If you want to say that the Song family has the ability, Shang Kesheng immediately made a decision after listening to Rui Xue's description of Chen Mao, only saying that as long as he can make snail stones to eat, he will dig three feet into the ground and find people.
Ruixue stared at the snail stones that were drawn by the water every day, thinking about how to make food. I can't stir-fry or anything, just make dim sum. She asked Master Dong, who specializes in dim sum in the store, for help, and also made black and white dim sum, but no matter how she looked, there was no snail stone.
"Master Dong, is there a kind of pastry that is crystal clear and smooth?"
Dong Qiguang handed her a piece of mung bean cake: "See if this is feasible?" ”
"It's finely lubricated, but it's not crystal clear." Rui Xue glanced at the small and oily mung bean cake and took a bite. It tastes good, and it feels a little sour and cool, "delicious!" Master Dong, what's in here? Sour. ”
Dong Qiguang is a native of Suzhou, and he makes a good Suzhou dim sum, and these days he is also thinking about what kind of dim sum to prepare when he performs at the Caoyun Governor's Mansion. He thought in his heart that the emperor's longevity festival would be in the heat of the day, and he would make some cool and antipyretic food; And the emperor is also getting older, so he has to avoid those greasy snacks and make some appetizers.
"Put aside a little sour plum. Is it delicious? ”
Rui Xue nodded: "When the summer comes, there will be a lot of people to eat." Eat it cold in your mouth, you put mint. ”
Dong Qiguang nodded with a smile and asked, "Taste it carefully, see what is missing?" Is this mung bean flour finely grounded? Did you put too much lard? ”
"That's what you asked me. I can't taste it. Ruixue said honestly. She doesn't have the mouths of those diners, and she can taste what's bad when she eats.
Dong Qiguang recruited an apprentice: "Go, bring this dim sum to Master Feng Yuchu, ask him to taste it, just tell me, I'll send it after I make it." ”
The apprentice hurriedly took it and sent it out quickly.
This time the selection of chefs for the Hallomy Festival can be regarded as the motivation to stimulate the chefs of Lemin Building, and from time to time there are new dishes to be made, which can be regarded as satisfying the appetite of the Feng Imperial Chef, and he is happy to eat all day long.
Not long after the apprentice went, he turned around and came back, his face was embarrassed: "Master Dong......"
Dong Qiguang saw the apprentice come back empty-handed, and finally showed some joy on his face: "How is it?" What does Mistress Chef say? ”
The apprentice said with difficulty, "Master Chef didn't eat. Say ......"
"Didn't eat, what did he say?" When Dong Qiguang heard that Feng Wanfu hadn't eaten the mung bean cake he had saluted, he immediately became anxious.
The apprentice said cautiously: "Master Chef said that now is not the time to eat mung bean cakes, mung beans are old, and the taste is not as good as fresh." You don't have to eat it to know that it tastes bad. ”
Dong Qiguang untied his apron and planned to explain to Feng Wanfu in person his intention to send mung bean cake in the past.
The apprentice hurriedly moved half a step and stopped Dong Qiguang's body: "Master Dong, that mung bean cake ......"
"Yes! What about mung bean cakes? You said that the chef didn't eat it, but what about it? ”
"That plate of mung bean cake was asked by the son."
"Who told you to give things to people?"
The apprentice was frightened by Dong Qiguang's anger, and his speech was no longer fluent: "When the boy saw me serving it, he asked me to serve it, and I saw that the imperial chef didn't want it, so I sent it over." ”
Dong Qi calculated that this time was in the past, and the mung bean cake had already been eaten. He picked out the rest of the pieces, took a small plate, and arranged it loosely in three layers, and finally made a plate.
"Master Dong, the Imperial Chef still said......"
"What else to say? Say it all in one go! ”
The chef said...... Say...... What to eat in what season, those who follow the sky prosper, and those who go against the sky die. The apprentice repeated Feng Wanfu's words, he didn't understand how this food could be connected with such serious words. I didn't say that I would die if I didn't eat according to the season. This mung bean cake is so beautiful, if he is allowed to eat it, he will not be willing to eat it. How can this Feng Imperial Chef be as particular as Master Zhou.
Dong Qiguang understood the meaning of these words. Feng Wanfu told himself to make dim sum according to the season. In the summer, I honestly make mung bean cakes; In autumn, I make Chongyang chestnut cake. And what about spring. He is going to the wild vegetable field to find artemisia seeds and make a youth league? But now the artemisia in the field has long been eldered, that is, to make a youth group, and there will still be an astringent taste in the mouth at that time.
Outside the kitchen, several apprentices were happily eating boiled peas with bowls in their hands. It's the last season of peas, and the fresh tender pea shells are thrown into the pot without removing them, just sprinkle some salt and boil, which is the apprentices' favorite snack. With a single bite, the tender peas slide into your mouth.
Apprentices, you're so unhappy with one bite at a time. They eat contentedly from their bowls, and they have to guard their bowls from time to time in case those who steal peas from their bowls to eat.
"These peas are so tender."
"Hurry up and eat. In a few days, it will not be as fresh as it is at this time. You say it's not weird, that is, these days, in a few days, no matter how you make it, it won't taste good. ”
"That's why Chef Zhou always tells us that the most delicious things are to choose the best ingredients, and what is in season is the best ingredient."
"But Master Wang is not like this. Chef Wang can make delicious things even if he doesn't need the best ingredients. So Master Wang is more powerful than Master Zhou. ”
"It's all amazing. Who do you think will be chosen this time? ”
"It doesn't matter to me who is chosen, and I can't follow him into the palace anyway. Or eat my peas...... How did you all eat ......?"
"Peas, peas......" Looking at the apprentices who were making trouble, Dong Qiguang finally thought of the dim sum that was currently being presented to Feng Wanfu. Take peas to make it.
Peel the peas, put them in water to suffocate, and stir-fry them with sugar......
Rui Xue looked at the pastries made by Dong Qiguang. The pale yellow, rectangular pastry has a faint sheen, but the surface looks a little rough and not so delicate.
If this pea snack can be made more delicately, it has a soft luster like clotted cream; If it is made oval, it is a snail stone that matches the view from the water. But how do you make the pastry look like two colors? Light yellow accents with white ..... or golden yellow......
"Master Dong, the shopkeeper, please come over."
Dong Qiguang decorated the cut pea cake with gold cake: "What to do?" ”
The apprentice said excitedly: "Didn't the mung bean cake you plan to send to the Imperial Chef just now be served to others by Xing'er?" After the boy ate it, he said a lot of things, and even the imperial chef was alarmed. Master Zhou went over to see it and said that it was Zhao Gongzi he had seen in the Caoyun Governor's Mansion the day before yesterday. Master Zhou said, that Zhao Gongzi's mouth is in his mouth, tell you to go over and listen. ”
Dong Qiguang became interested, and he stopped his hand: "Oh? What did he say? ”
"The little one didn't hear much clearly. I only heard that Zhao Gongzi say that it is a little cold in the mouth, and I think it is more refreshing to eat on a hot day, but the mung beans themselves are cool but with mint, some are too much. If the body is weak, the elderly will not eat it, and it will not be good. ”
Dong Qiguang listened carefully. Although it was only a little bit, he had already realized. Oh, yes! The emperor is sixty years old this year, although the Wanshou Festival is in the summer, most of the cooks will prepare cold dishes, if you eat your own mung bean cake with mint, your body will not be able to stand it.
It's okay, it's okay, someone mentioned himself. It almost happened.
He took off his apron and walked out, asking the apprentice: "What else did that Zhao Gongzi say?" ”
"I don't understand what I'm saying, so go listen to it."
Dong Qiguang turned around and came back, hurriedly put the pea cake that had not yet been decorated, and left with it. Pea cake, this thing should fit. He remembered that Master had said when he was teaching him that peas were flat in nature, good for qi, quenching thirst, and even pregnant women could eat more. This is just right for the elderly emperor.
Rui Xue heard the apprentice praise so fiercely, and that Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but want to take a look. Look at what kind of person that diner is, ordinary diners only pay attention to the taste, and don't care if the food is suitable for their body, but this ...... This is the best of diners.
When she came to the gate of the garden leading to the hall, Ruixue saw a group of apprentices gathered at the gate of the garden. She casually patted an apprentice: "What are you looking at?" What to see? ”
When the apprentice saw that it was Rui Xue, he turned half his body sideways, and finally made a gap and asked Rui Xue to see: "Master Dong just brought a snack in." Master Mao's crystal trotters came out, and the boy applauded after tasting it. ”
Ruixue was on tiptoe, stretching her neck and not seeing anything. At this time, it was not a meal, and the hall was quiet, so the apprentices dared to crowd here to watch the excitement. But there was no one in the hall.
"There! Huixian on the second floor. The apprentice pointed to a private room in the southeast corner of the second floor.
The door was closed so tightly that nothing could be seen. I could only see a few apprentices standing outside, and the chefs who were about to serve the food again. What's so nice about this.
Ruixue squeezed through the wall of apprentices, intending to get a closer look at it. When she walked to the staircase, she saw Zhou Qing'an who came out of the private room waving to her.
She was busy and quietly walked to Zhou Qing'an's side: "Master Zhou, what's the matter?" ”
"Go, grab the fried tenderloin and send it over."
"Me?"
Zhou Qingan said solemnly: "Do it well." Today, an expert is here, hurry up and seize the opportunity, people will broadcast you on demand, enough for you to ponder for more than ten years. ”
Rui Xue hurriedly responded. But he pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the conversation inside. It wasn't loud, so she had to stick her whole body to the door to hear the slightest sound.
"Yes. Peas are not freshly ground powder, they are boiled and then made, and they can't be so fine. ”
"The peas are boiled and then sifted into a paste. If it is sold in your store, the texture is delicate and pure, like a good Huangtian jade, do you say it is better? ”
"Yes, yes. You continue. ”
"And ......."
Ruixue still wanted to listen to it, but Zhou Qingan nodded her head impatiently: "Don't go yet." I'll listen to you, and I'll tell you about it. ”
Ruixue had no choice but to retreat. The boy said that the peas should be sifted again after they are boiled, so that they will be finer. Then do what the boy said, and really be able to make it as delicate and pure as he said, like a good Huangtian jade. Huang Tianyu ...... What is Huangtian Jade? But I don't think the sound is familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere.
"Go! What else is grinding! Zhou Qingan looked at Ruixue and couldn't help but urge slowly, why didn't this kid know how to be in a hurry. Such a good opportunity slipped by, and I don't know where to look for it. It's a pity that Master Wang is not here, if he is, he wants to hear this Zhao Gongzi's evaluation of his dishes.
