Chapter 193: Spinach and Milk
The girl was shocked by Bai Zhi's momentum, and then saw that Bai Zhi's dress was obviously different from the people in this courtyard, but it was more gorgeous than herself, so she hurriedly restrained herself, and said with low eyebrows: "I am a second-class girl from the courtyard of the lord of Wanhua County, and I just brought it up, so it is normal for my sister not to know her." ”
A daughter-in-law in her forties came out next to her, pointed at the girl and smiled: "Miss Bai Zhi, this girl is really Xianggui in the main courtyard of Wanhua County, I often go to the kitchen to ask for water and vegetables, I recognize it." ”
Seeing that the daughter-in-law came out to help her speak, Xianggui smiled gratefully and called, "Sister-in-law Li." The two apparently knew each other.
When Bai Zhi saw this, her face softened. Princess Duan only gave birth to a son and a daughter, that is, Yuan Zhi and Yuan Rao. Because these two siblings are siblings of the same mother, they usually get closer, and even their subordinates are closer than others.
"In that case, you can go with her." Bai Zhi turned his face to Lin Xiaozhu and said. That frame is like Lin Xiaozhu is her private property, and she has to allow her to go with others.
Lin Xiaozhu originally wanted to burn a fire between Bai Zhi and Xianggui and let the two of them fight among themselves. But seeing their harmonious appearance, he frowned, and had to dispel his thoughts. Knowing that Lord Wanhua had bad intentions, she would not send her to the door to humiliate and bully her. But what kind of excuse should I find?
After thinking for a while, she felt that it would definitely not work to be hard, so she said, "I don't know what the Lord of Wanhua called me to do?" I only make dim sum and nothing else. ”
At the beginning, Lin Xiaozhu's momentum was no worse than Bai Zhi, and Xianggui knew that she was not good at talking. Just now, the county lord of Wanhua asked her to call Lin Xiaozhu, but he didn't say what he asked her to do. Now she just wants to bring Lin Xiaozhu to the county lord of Wanhua so that she can make an errand. At this time, he heard Lin Xiaozhu's words, and said: "The county lord asked you to naturally make dim sum." Alright, let's go. ”
Lin Xiaozhu still wanted to continue to lobby, so that he could go directly to the kitchen, instead of going to the Wanhua County Lord with this girl, as soon as he opened his mouth, Sister-in-law Li suddenly grabbed Lin Xiaozhu's hand. With a smile on his face, he persuaded, "Oh, this girl." The county lord's errand, if others can't ask for it, you don't have to push back. Well done, the county lord's reward is huge, enough for you to work hard outside for half a year. After saying that, he looked at the girl. smiled shyly, "Miss Xianggui, I'm busy making dim sum alone, I'm afraid I'll be delayed until late." It's not a problem to keep the county lord waiting for a long time. I'm going to rest today, anyway. I'm going to fight with that girl? He pointed at Su Xiaoshu.
When Lin Xiaozhu was held by Sister-in-law Li, he was slightly stunned. Sister-in-law Li grabbed her middle finger, pinched it three times, and knocked it twice on her palm. This is a code that Yuan Cheng told her. The head buried in Duanwang's Mansion contacted her with this code.
Other words. Is this sister-in-law Li her own? And they are the leaders of this palace?
Xianggui hesitated. What Sister-in-law Li said also makes sense. Besides, Sister-in-law Li is a famous chef in this house, and she makes good dishes, which is deeply liked by the prince and often rewarded. Now she recommended herself to help Lin Xiaozhu. If this smears her face, it will not look good. Reluctantly replied at the moment: "Sister-in-law Li." You can go. It's just that you also know the temper of the county lord of Wanhua, if you blame it, you have to say that you have to follow it. ”
"Okay, okay, thank you, Miss Xianggui." Sister-in-law Li smiled, took a few steps closer, and said softly, "I heard that the dim sum made by this little bamboo girl is strange and novel, and it is all something that no one else has ever seen." I'm going to see if I can learn two tricks. If you learn it, the county will eat snacks in the future, where will you need to go outside to call people? ”
When Xianggui heard this, she immediately dispelled the doubts in her heart, turned around and said, "Then let's go." ”
Seeing that Sister-in-law Li named Su Xiaoshu again, Lin Xiaozhu's heart became even more determined. After entering this palace, the county lord of Wanhua came to summon her, and it was definitely impossible for her not to go. This hurdle has to be passed. Now that she is accompanied by Sister-in-law Li and Su Xiaoshu, she must not be made to suffer. And from watching Su Xiaoshu's actions last night, I know that she concealed some skills in the villa. This sister-in-law Li is their leader, so her kung fu must be above Su Xiaoshu, right?
Seeing that Sister-in-law Li gave herself a look and pulled Su Xiaoshu to follow behind Xianggui, Lin Xiaozhu no longer hesitated and followed.
Duanwang's Mansion is quite large, but Lin Xiaozhu has a good sense of direction, and for the sake of escaping in the future, she secretly remembers the road in her heart. After a long walk along the cloister, I passed through an arch and came to a place that looked like a garden.
Lord Wanhua was sitting in the pavilion at this time playing chess with a maid. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu and his entourage coming, he threw away the chess pieces in his hand and stood up.
"Xianggui, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to call Lin Xiaozhu? Why are there two other people who are also here? Seeing Sister-in-law Li and Su Xiaoshu, Lord Wanhua frowned.
Xianggui panicked and hurriedly explained: "County Lord, the slave thought that you were going to ask Lin Xiaozhu to make snacks, thinking that it would be too slow for one person to make it and make you wait in a hurry, so she promised these two people to help." ”
"County Lord." Lin Xiaozhu was reluctant to let the county lord of Wanhua take the initiative, so he took a step forward and blessed himself, "I don't know what kind of dim sum the county lord wants to eat, Xiaozhu will do it immediately." He pointed at Sister-in-law Li and Su Xiaoshu again, "This sister-in-law and girl were specially called by me to help." It's a bit faster this way. ”
Lin Xiaozhu has to have a reason. Originally, according to the temperament of the county lord of Wanhua, he directly called someone to come and beat him to the death, and he only had one breath left, and the matter was over. But my brother repeatedly told me not to leave a handle on how to do things. If Yuan Tianye is allowed to seize the reason to make a fuss and not treat his father well, it will be difficult for the brother and sister to explain. That's why the county lord of Wanhua was patient and had some tactfulness with Lin Xiaozhu. She rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I'm going to eat the cream cake you made that day, you can do it." But since you have two helpers, you can naturally do it quickly, so let's give you two teas. ”
In the modern production of animal cream, centrifugal separation is generally used, i.e. a milk separator is used to extract large amounts of cream. But in ancient times, it was clear that this approach would not work. Therefore, Lin Xiaozhu used the static method, that is, the milk is poured into a container and placed in a cool place, and after 24 to 36 hours, the cream will float on the surface, and then further neutralize the acidity and sterilization and cool it.
So hearing the words of the county lord Wanhua, Lin Xiaozhu smiled bitterly and said, "The county lord, the cream on this cream cake can't be made without three or four days of hard work." If the county lord wants to eat cream cake, it is better to ask someone to go directly to Yuyuzhai to buy it, and it is just two teas. But to make it now, Xiaozhu really can't do it. ”
Lord Wanhua asked her to make a snack, but she just wanted an excuse that she didn't have to eat the cream cake. She glanced at Lin Xiaozhu lightly and said, "I heard that you have some fresh food there, so you can make one casually." ”
"Yes." Lin Xiaozhu heard this request, breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Sister-in-law Li and Su Xiaoshu to retreat.
"Miss Xiaozhu, there is a small kitchen next to here, which is dedicated to making snacks for the princess. Otherwise, I'll lead you there, so that you don't have to run back and forth, so as not to delay your efforts. Sister-in-law Li said.
Lin Xiaozhu asked another question: "Sister-in-law Li, did the county lord of Wanhua have anything to eat in the morning?" What is eaten? ”
"The big kitchen in the morning has its own shift people. To know this, we have to go to the big kitchen. Sister-in-law Li asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”
Lin Xiaozhu smiled and didn't answer, and said, "The big kitchen is not far from here, right?" Let's go to the big kitchen. "When the county lord of Wanhua said two teas just now, Sister-in-law Li did not raise any objections, presumably this big kitchen is not very far away.
"It's a little bit of a walk here." Sister-in-law Li pointed in one direction.
The three of them hurried to the large kitchen. As soon as Sister-in-law Li entered, she pulled a mother-in-law aside, muttered for a while, and walked over to Lin Xiaozhu and said, "In the morning, the county lord of Wanhua said that there was no taste, so the people in the kitchen used spinach juice and noodles and wrapped a bowl of wontons for her to eat. ”
"How long did you eat?" Lin Xiaozhu asked again.
"It hasn't been long since I ate." Sister-in-law Li replied. I felt strange in my heart, I don't know why Lin Xiaozhu asked such a question.
"Is there any papaya?"
"Nope." Sister-in-law Li shook her head. This tropical fruit is inherently expensive. There are many concubines in this house, even if there are papayas, and they also make fruits for those masters to eat, where can they be used in the kitchen?
"So, I want milk, ginger, a lot of ginger now." Lin Xiaozhu quickly adjusted his plan and put forward a request.
Hmph, if the county lord of Wanhua wants to harm her, she naturally can't sit still. Whenever you offend anyone, don't offend the chef! In this big kitchen, in full view of everyone, although she will not put those disgusting things into the snack, she will not kill herself to poison the county lord of Wanhua. But taking advantage of the characteristics of food restraint to make some food that made her eat diarrhea is still a piece of cake. If you eat the milk and the spinach together within an hour, you will have diarrhea. When the time comes, the county lord of Wanhua will have diarrhea and come to death, where will he have the energy to trouble her again?
This time, there was no need for Sister-in-law Li, as soon as Su Xiaoshu heard her request, she immediately took action, and after a while, she found milk and ginger.
"Su Mei, you peel the ginger with me." Lin Xiaozhu turned his head, "Sister-in-law Li, please heat up the milk, don't boil it, just heat it up, after it's hot, you can add a little sugar to it according to the taste of Lord Wanhua." ”
"Okay." Both took action.
Lin Xiaozhu and Su Xiaoshu have lived for three years, and they are good friends, and their style of doing things is the most familiar. So when Sister-in-law Li heated the milk, the shaved ginger had already been chopped into puree, squeezed into juice, and put into three green jade bowls. (To be continued)
