After Steward Qin finished assigning the task, he left the kitchen. Those who were left to help in the kitchen were not only Lin Xiaozhu, but also Zhou Yuchun, and the three girls in the bedroom next door. Two people were called to wash and pick water spinach, while Lin Xiaozhu, Zhou Yuchun and another girl were tasked with shaving winter melons. It seems that these two should be the dishes for everyone's dinner today.

Lin Xiaozhu: They have been here for two days. In the past two days, the staple food I ate was rice, and it was enough; Except for the meat they saw on the night they first arrived, the rest of the time it was vegetarian. The standard of living in ancient times naturally cannot be compared with modern times, and they are slaves, they can let them eat a full stomach, and they can also eat white rice, Yuan Tianye is already a very benevolent master.

Besides, although those dishes are all vegetarian stir-fried, and they are fried in a large pot. But these two chefs seem to have good skills, and even the vegetarian dishes are fried at a very good level.

Due to the large number of people eating, there are more than a dozen winter melons in one plan. Girls from poor families are good at housework. The three girls moved quickly, and soon each had one planed. Chef Li cooked, and Chef Zhao picked up their planed melons and washed them with water, put them on the cutting board and cut them in half, dug out the gourd, and then cut them up with "do-do". Transporting the knife is like electricity, so fast that you can't see how the knife moves, only see where the knife passes, two centimeters square of winter melon shreds come out of the end of the knife, the size of each is the same, the standard is the same as that made by the machine.

This chef seems to be from a professional background!

Lin Xiaozhu's eyes lit up when he saw it.

In this ancient world, her biggest regret was that she didn't learn to cook in her previous life. Although she cooks very carefully, after all, she is not professional, and she lacks confidence, and she always feels that if she is more professional, the taste will be better.

She couldn't help asking, "Brother Zhao, Brother Li, are all the dishes we have eaten in the past few days made by you?" It tastes so good! And Brother Zhao's winter melon cut is too level. Where did you learn this cooking? ”

Being praised and worshipped, the two cooks were naturally happy. Zhao Hu smiled: "You can just like the dishes we cook." As for this cooking, I learned it in this villa. ”

"Really?" The winter melon in Lin Xiaozhu's hand almost rolled to Zhou Yuchun's feet. She didn't care about picking it up, and hurriedly asked, "Can we learn?" ”

Zhao Hu stopped the knife in his hand, glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, and shook his head: "After you finish learning literacy and rules, you can learn all kinds of skills." However, the cooking class has never been open to girls. ”

When Lin Xiaozhu heard the first half, he was overjoyed; When I heard the last sentence again, I felt cold in my heart again, and quickly asked, "Why?" ”

Zhao Hu lowered his head and continued to cut melons: "I don't know." Anyway, there were fifteen of us studying cooking, and none of us were women. ”

"What did that girl always learn?"

Zhao Hu shook his head again: "I don't know." ”

Lin Xiaozhu wanted to be here, except for the first day when Yuan Tianye summoned her, she saw the boys, and the rest of the time she didn't have a chance to see each other, so she knew that what Zhao Hu said was true. Because there is no contact, just as they don't know what the boys are learning now, they don't know what the girls are learning.

After thinking about it, she asked again: "Then after you have learned literacy and rules, did the stewards appoint you to learn cooking, or did you sign up voluntarily?" ”

"I volunteered. He ......" Zhao Hu pointed at Li Weizhu, "he was asked by the stewards to go." ”

"Brother Li, why didn't you want to learn cooking at that time?" Lin Xiaozhu turned to Li Weizhu, who was busy cooking, and asked.

"This kind of thing is done by girls. My manly husband, doing this, holding my breath! Levi didn't raise his head, and said with a humming voice.

"Li Weizhu, what are you talking nonsense?" A stern voice came from outside the door. Lin Xiaozhu looked up, but it was Qin who was in charge of the kitchen. He stared at Li Weizhu with wide eyes, his face full of hatred. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu looking at him in the afterglow, he swept over with a cold light: "Is the winter melon planed?" Hurry up and get to work! ”

Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly lowered his head, picked up the half-planed winter melon from Zhou Yuchun's feet, and continued to work.

Steward Qin walked in with a straight face, handed a dustpan in his hand to Li Weizhu, and said in a soothing voice: "Na, this is a fresh thing that Gongzi bought from outside!" You do your research and see how to make it delicious. ”

The voice that Steward Qin yelled just now made the air pressure in the kitchen extremely low, and Zhou Yuchun and the others didn't dare to come out. No matter how bold Lin Xiaozhurao is and how strong his curiosity is, he doesn't dare to commit a crime against the wind, so he stood up and stretched out his head to see what "new things" were in the dustpan.

"What is this?" Zhao Hu seemed to be not afraid of the Qin steward with a straight face, stopped the knife in his hand, ran over to look at the things in the dustpan, and twisted one of his fingers and raised it to the light to look at it carefully.

Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly raised his head and looked at it. She had good eyes, Rao was far away, and she could see the little "thing" in Zhao Hu's hand.

It turned out to be peanuts. Is this also worth the fuss? Thinking of what Steward Qin said, Lin Xiaozhu glanced at him a little strangely.

"Childe said, this is called peanuts, and it came from overseas." Steward Qin stretched out his hand to peel off a peanut, allowing Zhao Hu and Li Weizhu to taste a peanut. Although his face was still stiff, his eyes slowly became gentle.

Lin Xiaozhu frowned. What kind of era is this? She remembers that peanuts are native to some parts of China, but peanuts grown in large quantities were introduced from South America in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Could it be that the era she is staying in now is really the Qing Dynasty?

Steward Qin said again: "I heard that this thing can be eaten raw. As for how to cook it better, I don't know. You two try it. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, "I'm going to cook for Childe." Let's put this thing away and try it when everyone's meal is ready. Catching a glimpse of Lin Xiaozhu who was in a daze, his face suddenly became ugly, and he stopped and stared at her, until Lin Xiaozhu came back to his senses and quickly shaving the winter melon in his hand, and then he raised his feet and went out.

"Whew", Lin Xiaozhu exhaled. This Qin steward didn't know what setbacks he had suffered, and his temper was so weird.

"Let it go. Since this thing was imported from overseas, the gold is very expensive. Let's try a few at a time. Zhao Hu told Li Weizhu a word, turned around, picked up the knife and cut the winter melon again.

Li Weizhu was stunned for a moment with the dustpan, and then walked to the cabinet in the corner of the kitchen, opened the upper drawer, poured the peanuts into it, and pushed it up and closed it. Then start brushing the pot and cooking. It seems that he is the best cook of the two. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in charge.

Heat the pan and add oil; Pour a bamboo basket of winter melon cut by Zhao Hu into it, stir-fry a few times, add salt and vinegar; Stir-fry on high heat, remove from the pot and put it in a pot. Li Weizhu's movements were like flowing water, all in one go. The kitchen was filled with the sweet and sour aroma of winter melon.

After he fried some water spinach and fried a pot of eggs, a mother-in-law came in outside the door and said with a smile: "Is dinner ready?" ”

"Okay, Mrs. Wang, you can take it." Zhao Hu had already stopped the knife in his hand and helped Li Weizhu pack the food. Seeing Wang Po come in, the two of them took out the wooden barrel containing the food one by one.

After Wang Po pushed the cart away, Zhao Hu saw that there was no one at the door, and took out a plate of winter melons from under the desk as if by magic, and smiled at Lin Xiaozhu: "Come, try your Brother Li's craftsmanship." ”

Li Weizhu glared at him disapprovingly: "If Steward Qin knows about it, I have to scold you to death." ”

"Isn't it just a few bites? When we were learning to cook, we were also hungry for it. Li Hu didn't care about the authentic way. When Li Weizhu was stir-frying just now, he saw that these girls were quietly swallowing their saliva. Thinking of his sister who he hadn't seen in the family for several years, his heart was soft. He didn't dare to keep the scrambled eggs specially made for the stewards, but left a few mouthfuls of winter melon for everyone.

Although I know that I will eat this winter melon at dinner, the taste of stealing it is naturally the best. Several girls were excited, took the chopsticks handed over by Li Hu, and tasted them one by one.

I don't know if it's because I've been hungry for half a year, Lin Xiaozhu has eaten countless winter melons in his previous life, but he never thought it was so delicious. Because of the vinegar in this dish, and the vinegar was put early, the winter melon was locked by the vinegar before it was cooked softly, and the taste was crisp and refreshing; The sweetness of the winter melon itself is combined with the slight sour vinegar, coupled with the aroma of the firewood roasted by the firewood, the aroma is full of sweet and sour, smooth and crisp and tender, which makes the mouth tongue relish, and can't stop.

Lin Xiaozhu looked at Li Weizhu with admiration in his eyes, and was about to praise a few words, when he suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "What are you eating?" ”
