Chapter 20
After Yu Gui left, Xiangru cooked some paste in the kitchen and took it back to the house to make shoes, the soles have not yet been completed, she has just wrapped all the eighteen soles with white edges, and now she has to use the paste to glue the nine soles of the left and right feet firmly together, and then use hemp rope to sew the four sides of the sole, which is a very important process, not sloppy at all.
After gluing the soles of her shoes, Xiangru didn't dare to delay the time, and immediately rushed back to the kitchen and peeled some peanuts to make sweet soup for Aunt Xiao in the afternoon. When there were more people in the kitchen at the back, she told the kitchen to peel out the remaining peanuts and make more peanut butter.
Xiangru's new way of eating peanut butter has been well received by everyone in the kitchen, and the kitchen workers have been waiting for their own appetite, so no one chirps crookedly and thinks that they live more and more, and a few people bring peanuts to the porch outside, and sit around to peel them.
From rebirth to the present, after so many days in the kitchen, Xiangru has already observed that the kitchen rarely develops new dishes, most of which are related to people's mentality, and palace life is a typical "big pot rice".
In a closed environment, good and bad are the same, of course, no one wants to use their brains to better improve their lives, so everyone eats monotonous dishes that have been repeated countless times year after year, and the types of dishes are gradually limited to a small range because of the inertia of the cooks. And the one called Xiangru crazy is here, even if the average family doesn't eat like this all year round, it's common to change the trick every few days, but no one thinks about it in this kitchen, only knows that the mouth says that you are tired of eating and you are tired of eating and you want to change the tricks, but no one really does it.
Although their kitchen level is not high, and there are not many types of ingredients every day, they really need to use their brains and can come up with many tricks, so that people lose their interest and motivation to pursue food like they are now.
When Aunt Rong came to the kitchen, Xiangru's peanut sweet soup and snacks had already been boxed, and a small bowl was specially given to Aunt Rong to taste, and the remaining sweet soup in the casserole had already been hidden for everyone to share for a while.
Xiangru was so angry that she watched Aunt Rong finish eating the half bowl of sweet soup, looking forward to her commenting, but Aunt Rong took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth after tasting it, then just nodded, and then left with the food box, not saying that it was delicious or unpalatable.
However, since she didn't get angry, it means that this sweet soup has passed the technical level, and as for whether Aunt Xiao likes it or not, she has to wait for Aunt Rong to come back.
I can't manage so much for the time being, and I am the happiest in time, and I sent away the girls who came to get the afternoon snacks one by one, and everyone closed the kitchen door, took out the casserole hidden in the cabinet, and divided a small half bowl with one person, and each enjoyed the fun of this "one".
When Aunt Rong came back, she praised Xiangru fiercely in front of everyone, saying that Aunt Xiao said that the bowl of peanut sweet soup was well done, so I want to eat vegetables or soup made of peanuts tomorrow.
Xiangru should take a bite, and the brain melon seeds turned at the same time, and the recipe came to mind, and then she told Aunt Rong that tomorrow's ingredients will be sent to Banyi pork, and simply boil the pot of pork ribs and peanut soup, everyone has a share. Aunt Xiao needs special care, which is not in conflict with improving the food for everyone.
Aunt Rong didn't say a word, yes.
The vegetables and vegetables sent by the hospital every day have a certain regularity, and they can be memorized for a long time, Xiangru expected that the next day there was indeed a pork with bones, and the kitchen staff neatly cut the pork into pieces, peeled off the backbone and ribs and cleaned them to make soup for Xiangru.
When the cooks were busy, Xiangru took an appropriate amount of peanuts and soaked them in cold water, and when the cloves outside, they washed the vegetables and sent them in, which happened to be about the same time.
Chop the pork ribs into sections and boil them in a pot of cold water for a while, use a large colander to scoop the ribs into a clean large casserole, pour out all the water in the large pot, add enough water to the casserole, put in ginger and wolfberries and a few spoons of vinegar, put the casserole on the small stove where the soup is cooked, cover the pot, and make a fire under the stove.
The ribs began to burn, Xiangru immediately processed the peanuts, first boiled half a pot of boiling water, threw the peanuts that had been soaked in cold water into the boiling water and simmered for a while before taking them out.
The pork rib soup came to an end for the time being, and the cook processed the chicken according to Xiangru's instructions in advance, separated the chicken wings and legs, peeled the chicken, collected the chicken offal, chicken feet, chicken neck and chicken rack and put them in a large basin to be fried chicken offal and sauce for dinner.
The chicken leaves a piece of chicken breast, and the rest is all diced, and Xiangru has already thought about making palace fried chicken at noon, so as to ensure that everyone in the entire female medical hall has a share. The chicken breasts left behind are still used as Aunt Xiao's favorite roasted chicken with tempeh sauce, and the chicken wings and drumsticks are coated in flour and egg liquid and fried in a pan. Vegetables are naturally not missing, and whatever vegetables are sent today, you will do whatever you want.
After three days of cooking chicken, all the live chickens saved in the kitchen were killed, and the chopped wings and legs were not enough to divide the heads. Xiangru doesn't care about these, excluding Aunt Xiao and Yu Gui's share, and the rest is divided equally according to the heads of the aunts and doctors, and it is up to them to decide whether to share it with the girls below.
When everyone worked together to cook lunch, Xiangru hid the cinnamon dish under the big bowl and covered it with rice and put it in the food box.
"Yesterday, Aunt Rong came back and said that Aunt Xiao likes peanut soup, and today she specially made peanut pork rib soup, and the woman ate it to replenish her qi and nourish her face, and asked Sister Yugui to persuade Aunt Xiao to eat more, which is good for her health." Xiangru said with a smile as she handed the food box to Yu Gui.
"Don't worry, if you say something that is not afraid of offending people, Aunt Xiao also told me in private yesterday that your cooking skills are good, and she loves to eat the dishes you cook, I really can't see that you are actually about the same age as me, and it is really enviable to have such cooking skills."
"Aunt Xie Xiao's love, it is all Aunt Rong's training, without her strict requirements, there would be no me today, I want to thank us or thank our Aunt Rong."
"Thank you, thank you."
After saying goodbye to Xiangru, Yu Gui hurriedly walked out of the kitchen with the food box, and the girls from the other courtyards also left one after another with their lunches, and after leaving the kitchen, they went separately, and one of the girls returned to the pharmacy.
In a room that served as a dining room, a group of girls of all ages waited there, and when they saw that lunch had been brought back, they rushed up, opened the large food box, and put all the food inside on the table. Aunt Fang's Bai Wei and the disciples under the medical women first transferred their meals into lacquered wood snack boxes and took them away, and then the other girls sat down to eat.
A little girl about eleven or twelve years old walked into the courtyard where the doctor lived with a food box, went up to the second floor and entered the single residence of a doctor, bypassed the screen in front of the door, and put the food box on the round table in the middle of the room.
"Master, lunch is here." The little girl said as she opened the food box and rice.
There is a large desk on the left hand side of the round table against the wall, and the woman sitting in front of the desk has her back to the girl, looking at the narrow shoulders and thin waist from behind, and is looking down at a medical book, she only responded lightly to the words of the little apprentice, and did not get up in a hurry to come over to eat.
"Master, today the kitchen stewed peanut pork rib soup, saying that women eat well, nourish qi and nourish beauty, master, I will serve you a bowl, you drink it while it's hot." The little apprentice brought the hot soup.
The doctor put down the medical book, took the soup bowl, scooped a spoonful with a spoon and drank it slowly, and then raised her head, a beautiful face, it turned out to be Mrs. Xie.
"茜草 (qiàncǎo), where did you hear what you just said?"
"What?" The little apprentice Akane didn't know why, and she tilted her head cutely.
"That's the phrase to nourish qi and nourish your skin, where did you hear it?"
"I listened to what the cook said in the kitchen, but I didn't tell us, I heard the cook explain Yu Gui like this, and asked Yu Gui to persuade Aunt Xiao to drink more and be good for her."
"Remember what that cook looked like? What's your name? ”
"That cook is the new chef who has recently been appointed, everyone says that the dishes she cooks are delicious, and today is a new dish."
"Is that the young cook? It's called incense or something? ”
"I don't remember, I haven't paid much attention to this person, if the master wants to know, I'll inquire after dinner in a while."
"Well, you can go and drink soup too, this new chef is a good cook."
Looking at the figure of Madder sitting at the round table eating, Dr. Xie secretly thought to herself while drinking the soup, could she say that the peanut pork rib soup has the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing her beauty, is this the cook who hides behind Aunt Rong's back to give her ideas? Use diet to condition Aunt Xiao's five organs to fight for Aunt Rong's chance?
If it's really this girl, I'll have to investigate it carefully, I don't know how old she is this year?
Thinking of this, Doctor Xie suddenly got up and came to the round table, and sat down opposite Madder, Madder thought that Doctor Xie was going to serve rice after drinking the soup, so she quickly put down her soup bowl.
Mrs. Xie waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.
"Madder, you never go to the kitchen, you can't bear to go to the kitchen to inevitably people think it's strange, if others see it and reach Aunt Fang's ears, I don't know what she will think. In this way, you say that the weather is dry and dry after the beginning of winter, and I have a sore throat, and I want to eat some sweet soup to reduce the fire, and let the kitchen make some for me. ”
"Does the master want me to tell the cook directly? How so? Even if they agree with your name, they will still find it strange, right? ”
"Hmm~~, you just said that this peanut pork rib soup at noon is delicious, so I designated the cook who stewed this soup to make sweet soup for me, so that others won't think about it much, you can take advantage of how much you talk to her, ask her what her name is, how old is she this year, how many years has she been in the palace or something, understand?"
"Got it."
