[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] "Master Zhou, you should help me make a table noodle!" Yuan Bin walked up to Zhou Qing'an and asked.

Zhou Qingan rubbed his eyes and sighed: "You should still look for Wang Jiuzhi." I'm not as good as him. "Thinking about it, I am really not as good as Wang Jiuzhi, happy for what a person says, and I am really not the chef's material.

"How so? Your Excellency the Doge also likes to eat your cooking. ”

"Don't comfort me. I've only made a few times for the Governor. ”

Yuan Bin smiled, he was not comforting Zhou Qing'an, he had more and more opportunities to eat in Lemin Mansion in the past two years, Zhou Qing'an's Huaiyang cuisine tasted very good, but he was very stubborn and would not be as flexible as Wang Jiuzhi.

"Master Zhou pays attention to a lot of things when cooking, and he refuses to put more salt. Chef Wang will change his taste according to different people. ”

Zhou Qingan smiled: "So that's the case." He himself has long understood this truth, but it is really difficult for him to ask him to do it, and he has made a lot of determination to pair vegetables with winter dishes today. In fact, it's not that he wants to do the opposite, but he doesn't want to listen to what others say, he wants to really turn this dish into his own dish.

"Lord Governor wants to see the newly arrived Nanjing Household Squire Lord Zhao today, I heard that Lord Zhao had been an official in the south before, so it is better to cook Huai'an cuisine."

"The new Tobe squire?"

Yuan Bin nodded: "Yes." I heard that he used to be in Huguang. Yuan Bin confessed to Zhou Qing'an and got up to leave.

"Lord Yuan, you are leaving! Ruixue Express delivery. The polite greeting made Rui Xue stomp her feet, these people just like to talk nonsense.

Yuan Bin turned sideways and looked at Rui Xue with a blushing face funny: "Won't you send me?" ”

Rui Xue felt even more embarrassed at this time, Yuan Bin couldn't join in the fun with these boring people at this time, knowing that if he sent him, they would have more to say, and asked him to send him.

Yuan Bin looked at Ruixue quietly. There was no eagerness in his eyes, but he waited slowly, as if he had the patience to wait no matter how long Ruixue was silent.

Rui Xue finally couldn't stand the attentive gaze from the side, walked up to Yuan Bin, and whispered, "Please." ”

The corners of Yuan Bin's mouth hooked up with a smile.

Out of the door, Rui Xue could feel the gaze that had been following her figure, and suddenly turned her head, and she could see a few heads that had not had time to retract.

"They ......"

Yuan Bin grabbed Ruixue and shook his head: "Let them." I have something to say to you. ”

Rui Xue looked up at Yuan Bin. In the past two years, she has grown a lot taller, but it is still a little difficult to meet Yuan Bin.

"Halloween is coming."

"What does Halloween have to do with me?" Ruixue was a little confused. But Yuan Bin won't call her out just to talk about this matter.

Yuan Bin smiled slightly: "The emperor has a full birthday this year, and some gifts will definitely be offered in various places." At that time, the dishes that will be offered will definitely be indispensable. ”

"Lord Yuan, what you said is that you want my father to cook imperial meals for the emperor's birthday?"

Yuan Bin nodded: "In a few days, the governor will hold a banquet in the mansion, and he will invite the famous chefs of Nanjing City. Say to your father, and ask him to be prepared. ”

Ruixue happily agreed. This is really a great thing, there is an imperial chef in the store, everyone is nervous like that, if my father can cook imperial food for the emperor, it will be a great honor.

"Thank you, Lord Yuan."

"If you want to thank me, go to my house more often, the third brother often talks about you."

"I just saw Third Brother Yuan a few days ago." Rui Xue blinked and looked at Yuan Bindao, but she quickly lowered her head again. How could she not understand what Yuan Bin meant. Over the years, Gong has always talked about Yuan Sen in his ear, and always talked about marrying a daughter-in-law, even if she is young, she can understand the meaning of her words. I thought that I would never hear these words again if I sat at Yuan's house, but I didn't expect Yuan Bin to join the lobbying team now.

Yuan Bin just watched Rui Xue quietly. He condescendingly could see the demarcation on Ruixue's bun, the little girl was about to reach the age of opening the flute, and the ear hair on the sideburns was about to be combed. The third brother likes her, but the little girl is obviously pretending to be confused. Do you want to tell the third brother?

Rui Xue didn't dare to look at Yuan Bin, she felt that Yuan Bin's faint gaze had seen everything she was thinking clearly. What to do?

It was the commotion behind him that eased Ruixue's embarrassment. She turned to look unhappily at the guys who were hiding in the distance and sneaking in this direction, but there was a hint of a smile in her eyes. She had never been so grateful to the guys who liked to eavesdrop, and she was finally saved.

"These people like this, I'll go back and teach them a lesson!" Rui Xue shook her fist at the guys angrily, but hurriedly said goodbye to Yuan Bin.

Yuan Bin watched Ruixue's figure disappear into the corner door before turning around and leaving. When the little girl grows up, she will also be tempted.

"Ruixue, what did Lord Yuan tell you?"

"Yes! What's not to say to your face? ”

"Of course I can't say it!" Jin Sheng squeezed away all the guys, came to Rui Xue, and said mysteriously, "Is Lord Yuan here to propose?" ”

Without waiting for Ruixue to speak, the guys immediately let out cheers.

Rui Xue's face suddenly turned red, and she spitted at Jin Sheng and said, "If you talk nonsense, I'll tell my father." ”

Jin Sheng pretended to be scared and said: "It's not that I'm here to propose, so what's the whisper?" ”

Seeing that Jin Sheng was talking more and more inappropriately, and the guys were getting more and more excited, Rui Xue walked quickly to the side door and turned out, intending to go back to her house.

Jin Sheng hurriedly opened his hand to stop Ruixue: "Don't be embarrassed! “

"Then you're embarrassed to stop me? The shopkeeper, Jin Sheng wants to leave. Ruixue shouted at the other side.

The most feared thing for apprentices in the world is to leave, as long as they go out from one family, it is difficult to find a second house. Jin Sheng hurriedly got out of the way, how could this girl come up with this trick.

"Big girl, don't go! Come and help me with my work. Zhou Qingan walked out of the kitchen with a spatula and greeted Ruixue who walked away.

Rui Xue walked over with a smile: "And Master Xu, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Here's a slice of tofu. Give me a slice in the shape of a finch tongue. ”

Rui Xue sighed slightly when she heard that she was going to ask for another slice of tofu, she was tired of doing it, she was practicing these every day, and she was really impatient. She asked tentatively, "Master Zhou, you can teach me how to cook!" ”

"Give me a slice of tofu first." Zhou Qingan also ignored Ruixue, and only called her a piece of tofu.

In the kitchen, Mao'er stood aside with a pot of tea, and immediately handed over the teapot when he saw Zhou Qing'an come in. It seems that Zhou Qingan likes him a lot. Seeing Ruixue come in, Hat nodded at her.

Ruixue washed her hands, picked out a piece of tofu and carefully slipped it.

Zhou Qingan took a sip of tea, sat on a small stool, and said gracefully: "The best way to show our Huaiyang cuisine is tofu." If you have the ability, this tofu can change in your hands. Big girl, your hands are a little strong. Zhou Qing'an pointed out Ruixue's technique, "Today's Pingqiao tofu was eaten by the first emperor during his southern tour, and my master made this dish specifically for the emperor, and he was also recruited into the palace to make this dish." Since then, more and more people have imitated this dish. But do you know why no one else dares to shout except for me, that they make Pingqiao tofu? ”

"Why?" Rui Xue dragged out, she didn't like others to sell herself so much and hang herself high.

The hat didn't have Ruixue's impulse, he just looked at Zhou Qing'an warmly, but his face was still very calm.

"Pingqiao tofu is the most particular about knife work. As long as this knife is not in place, no matter how similar it is to your taste, it will not be called Pingqiao tofu. The thinner you are, the more effortful and flavorful it is. ”

Zhou Qingan pointed to the slices of Rui Xueflake and shook his head, he rolled his cuffs and took his knife: "I'll come." ”

Rui Xue looked at Zhou Qing'an's sliced tofu in amazement, she was attracted by Zhou Qing'an's skillful technique, but what attracted her more was the action of the hat. The hat freed up one hand and learned Zhou Qing'an's movements, although his movements were still very jerky, and there was a slight difference between them and Zhou Qing'an's techniques, but he could already do this step just by looking at it, which was really powerful.

Zhou Qing'an's afterglow saw the action of the hat, and he was slightly surprised, he put down the knife, beckoned the hat, and asked him to go to the film.

"Master Zhou......" The hat was a little trembling.

"It's okay, you come." Zhou Qing'an handed his knife to the hat, he wanted to see what the basic skills of this apprentice were.

The hat took the knife and learned Zhou Qingan's action movie to make tofu. Although the size is different and the thickness is uneven, it is much better than Ruixue.

"That's amazing!"

Zhou Qing'an's gaze at the hat did not have his previous appreciation, but a kind of vigilant inquiry: "How long have you been here?" ”

"One year." Mao'er didn't understand why Zhou Qingan's eyes changed when he looked at him, and suddenly he understood that Zhou Qingan was suspecting that he was bringing skills in. He suddenly turned white and knelt down, "Master Zhou." ”

Since ancient times, it is a taboo to learn skills, and it is easy to be considered stealing skills and is not tolerated by everyone. If you hit it lightly, you will lose your hand.

The hat quickly retracted his hands.

Zhou Qingan looked at the hat with complexity.

"Master Zhou, I used to work in the Retranslation Building, but I offended the guests and was kicked out." The hat crawled to Zhou Qing'an's feet, anxious to explain the matter clearly. It was not the guests he offended, but the apprentices in the retranslation building.

He didn't know if he wanted to say he was lucky. It was already a very lucky thing to be expelled from the retranslation building without a single hand as a warning. He had tried his best to hide himself after coming to Lemin Building, but as soon as he heard that it was the imperial chef today, he couldn't control himself a little. If you know that you can't be impulsive, why can't you press your involuntary movements?

Zhou Qingan ignored Mao'er's explanation, he waved his hand and told Mao'er to go out.

Rui Xue looked puzzled as the hat withdrew from the kitchen in frustration, and then looked at the changing look on Zhou Qing'an's face. Why do you suddenly get angry, is it wrong for the hat to be good?

She really wanted to ask why the hat suddenly turned white, and Zhou Qing'an's face changed. But looking at Zhou Qing'an, who had a wooden face, she didn't dare to speak. can only quietly watch Zhou Qingan cook on the sidelines.
