Chapter 112
With the idea made, Xiangru quickly finished the rest of the lunch, called someone to come in and clean up the dining table, calmly recalled a few simple sour 'milk' snacks in the house, and then took a nap to nourish the 'spirit' with confidence, and then set off for the kitchen with a bunch of descriptions.
Xiangru first found the kitchen manager to confirm whether there was fresh sour 'milk', and after receiving a positive answer, Xiangru happily booked a large bowl of fresh sour 'milk' with the manager and quickly went back to the kitchen to 'get' snacks.
After making a sticky batter, Xiangru took a cup-shaped mold, which is quite similar to the kind of baked mold used in the so-called "chicken" egg burger seen in the street stall in the previous life, and the round pits arranged neatly on the thick iron plate, each round pit is like a tea cup, seeing this mold always makes Xiangru think of squeezing the batter into the mold with a mounting 'flower' bag to bake biscuits.
Xiangru first brushes a thin layer of oil in each round pit, and then uses a spoon to spread the batter on each "pit bottom" and "pit wall" like cement, and then puts the mold into the oven after the oven heats up to the right temperature, and after baking, take it out while it is hot and use a knife to stroke along the pit wall, and then it is directly demolded out, becoming a small cup of light yellow 'color' dough.
These small cups need to be completely cool to come in handy, Xiangru put them aside for the time being, and she was busy making sandwiches for Young Master Rui, making three for breakfast, and there are still four left.
Two quarters of an hour later, the sandwich was finished, but the small cup of dough was not yet cold, but since the main work had been completed, Xiangru had nothing to do for the time being, so she ran to the courtyard outside to talk to the cooks.
Patiently waiting until the small cup was completely cool, Xiangru asked the kitchen manager to get a big bowl of ice sour 'milk', then returned to the kitchen, put the dough cups one by one in a white porcelain plate, and then poured the sour 'milk' into the noodle cup, and finally poured the red, black, purple and blue 'color' jam, and the summer cool snack egg yolk sour 'milk' cup was completed.
Sven's way of eating is to use a spoon to dig out the sour 'milk', and if you are rude, you can bite the egg skin directly on your teeth, just like eating ice cone 'cream' Ling.
The cooks praised Xiangru for her novelty this time, and Xiangru was also very satisfied, and carefully packed the food box, thinking that the eldest lady should be happy this time.
Because it took a long time to wait for the dough cup to completely cool down, when Xiangru's dim sum was completed, the dim sum chefs were almost busy, and all kinds of delicious dim sum were being baked one after another, and the little girls who came to get the dim sum were already waiting outside the kitchen, so Xiangru simply waited for everyone to pack the dim sum and 'hand' it over to the girls to take back, while she stayed in the kitchen to ask the cooks for cooking work.
Not long after, a little girl came to the kitchen to find Xiangru, saying that the eldest lady liked this sour 'milk' cup very much and wanted to see her.
Xiangru followed the girl to the main room of the blue yarn cupboard, the eldest princess was not there, only the eldest lady and the little young master were there, and each of them had a sour 'milk' cup while eating and teasing their mouths.
After Xiangru saluted the young lady, the eldest lady praised Xiangru first, rewarded her, and told Xiangru to think of a few more fresh and fun snacks, and let the cooks prepare the rest.
Xiangru thanked the reward and agreed, and then asked Young Master Rui what he wanted to eat for dinner, and if she wanted her to arrange dinner.
Xiangru didn't mention it, as soon as he mentioned it, the young master Rui immediately remembered the bowl of soup at noon, but after all, he made a bet with his sister first, he wanted to eat a bite after the dish he ordered, in order not to let the tragic experience at noon happen again, and in order to prevent Xiangru from using a large number of things he didn't eat in the name of recuperating from his injuries, Young Master Rui refused Xiangru's suggestion to arrange a meal, and ordered his favorite dried seafood and dried prawns, and asked Xiangru to make a bowl of dried shrimp soup.
"Yes, there are white melons in the kitchen, and the maid makes dried shrimp and white melon soup, the shrimp 'meat' relieves pain, and the white melon detoxifies and drains pus, which is just right for the young master's injury. If the young master has nothing else to do, the maid will go down first to prepare. In order to prevent the young master from picking and choosing various requirements, Xiangru sealed the other party's mouth first.
"Well, okay, you go down and prepare, you don't need to serve here." Without waiting for Young Master Rui to answer, the eldest lady took it upon herself to allow Xiangru.
"Yes, the servant will retire first." After speaking, Xiangru turned around and left.
"Don't put 'messy' stuff!" Poor young master Rui only had time to say a request.
"Young master, don't worry, the maid only uses some green onions and white pots, and she will definitely not put green onion 'flowers' in the soup." Xiangru stood at the entrance of the 'door' and bowed and replied, then stepped over the threshold of the 'door' and left.
"It's not allowed to ......" Young Master Rui's two sentences of request obviously couldn't reach Xiangru's ears, and he glared at his sister very depressedly, "Who wants you to talk more~"
"Brother, sister is concerned about you, you can only get better when you eat well, and you can only get better if you are injured, this person is an expert." The eldest lady winked innocently and smiled.
Young Master Rui said that he couldn't say that he was sister, and he puffed out his cheeks and ate sour 'milk'.
At dinner time, the dried shrimp and white melon soup made by Xiangru was served on the square table in front of the little master's bed, and the young master Rui took the soup spoon and dialed it around in the soup bowl with his own hand, confirmed and confirmed that there was nothing else except the dried shrimp and white melon slices, and even the soup base was boiled with water, so he was relieved to let the 'spring' Fen fill half a bowl to feed him.
The next morning, Xiangru got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, just like yesterday, first made three new 'flower' sandwiches, and then she went back to her room for breakfast, and when she was full and came back to the kitchen, the person in charge of purchasing also bought today's dishes.
The manager was instructing the servants to pick and wash the vegetables, and Xiangru stayed with the pastry chefs to discuss some professional topics.
The cooks told Xiangru that they would use something called agar when making cold cake parfaits, which is a kind of gum boiled from seaweed, which will solidify after being cooled in hot water.
After listening to the introduction of the cooks, Xiangru immediately became energetic, it seems that this agar is the same thing as the kind of agar she had seen in her previous life, and the beautiful dim sum that the eldest lady wanted has been settled.
Thinking of acting, Xiangru couldn't wait to get the agar tablets from the cooks, patiently asked some more about the use of agar, turned around and began her "experiment".
First, I took some fresh bayberry juice, boiled the rock sugar with agar, filtered it into another pot, and then poured in the same filtered bayberry juice, and then poured the pot into a rectangular mold for making cold cakes and froze it in the ice cellar.
Xiangru can't stop this move, who calls agar is really a good thing, I knew that there was agar in the kitchen, and yesterday she didn't bother to make cookies, and standing on the edge of the oven in summer was called a sweat like rain.
Xiangru went out to get a few fruits again, and there was a row of small soup cups on the table, Xiangru dug out a few pieces of fruit 'flesh' and put them into the soup cups, and then burned rock sugar agar water on the stove, filtered and poured into the soup cups after rolling, covered with lids, and also took them to the ice cellar to freeze.
When she returned to the kitchen, Xiangru saw the unused peaches, so she had a plan, took the peach 'meat' and sugar, mixed it with sugar, mashed it into peach puree, mixed it with agar water, and poured it into the soup cup three times and took it to the ice cellar.
This trip into the ice cellar, Xiangru put down the peach puree jelly she had just made, and took out the bayberry cake that was put in once, the ice cellar was as cold as winter, the agar liquid would freeze when it was lower than 40 degrees Celsius, and the hot agar liquid would be left in the ice cellar for a while.
Demoulding is a 'fine' work, Xiangru pretending to be a rookie, ask the cook to help her demold, buckle out of the large bayberry cake and then cut it into thin slices of neat yard plates, bayberry juice 'color' transparent pastry spread on the white porcelain plate, both beautiful and appetizing'.
Based on yesterday's experience, the morning was the time for the eldest lady to study, so this plate of bayberry cake Xiangru invited the cooks to enjoy it and listen to their comments on this dim sum.
I don't know if Xiangru is intentional or unintentional, the chefs have tasted this bayberry cake and their reaction is that the ratio of sugar water and bayberry juice is wrong, the cake is a good cake, but the taste needs to be improved.
Hearing this, Xiangru hurriedly went to the ice cellar to bring the other two jelly snacks to the chef for evaluation.
When the fruit jelly is demolded and buckled on the plate, it is unanimously praised, and the clear jelly is wrapped in a large piece of fruit 'flesh', which makes people salivate when they look at it, and everyone has no opinion after tasting it, because this thing is so simple that there is no technology at all, but this ingenuity is convincing.
Before tasting, Xiangru poured a large spoonful of fresh sour 'milk' on each of them, and the yellow 'colored' jelly and the white 'colored' sour 'milk' were put together, and the taste was very special.
"According to me, that bayberry cake can be used for after-cooking snacks, not suitable for tomorrow's Miss Hospitality, I think the latter two will be more popular with young ladies. You say don't you? The chef licked the spoon and laughed at the cooks.
"Well, it makes sense, Doctor He is so smart, she just learned the use of agar and can make such a beautiful snack, and the eldest lady will definitely reward you again."
"That's it, I heard that Dr. He got the best grades in the exam at the beginning, look at how powerful she is, this is the ability."
"yes, that's amazing."
"Well, that's amazing."
The eater has a soft mouth, and the cooks slap Xiangru's ass.
Xiangru politely thanked everyone, and modestly said something like "I still need the approval of the eldest lady".
The atmosphere in the kitchen was lively, and a little girl came to look for Xiangru outside, Xiangru hurried out, and the cooks behind her continued to eat all kinds of jelly.
"Doctor He, the young master just told me to eat clams, please think of a refreshing dish." The little girl saluted and left after passing the word, and didn't say anything else.
"Clams?!" Xiangru looked at the back of the little girl and was excited, when she studied under the hands of Mrs. Shao, she knew that the country's shipbuilding and water transportation industry was developed, and the big ships in the capital could directly reach the estuary through the canal through the inland river to enter the deep blue sea for ocean navigation, and it was no longer a technical problem for fresh seafood to be sent to the capital from the waterway, and there was a special 'door' fishing market on the side of the wharf, and there were all kinds of seafood to enrich the dining table of the people in the capital every day.
This knowledge was only known from books and ordinary conversations before, but today I finally have the opportunity to see the real thing, how can Xiangru not be excited, she is also a person who eats seafood.
Thinking that the person who bought vegetables before did not bring back the clams, presumably the clams must have just been delivered, so the first thing to clean is to clean Xiangru trotted all the way to the well, and saw that there was a big pot by the well. Two servants crouched on the edge of the basin, scrubbing some kind of shellfish.
Xiangru took a closer look, obediently and loudly, such a big clam, bigger than the palm of the servant's hand, the shell is big and the 'meat' is thick, thinking of the delicious clam soup, Xiangru couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
The clams arrived in the capital by ship, soaked in clear water along the way and had spit out all the sediment, the servants cleaned up more easily, one scrubbed and one took the 'meat', and after a while, half a pot of clams was piled up in the small basin at the foot of the work, and after Xiangru expressed her intentions, she used a bamboo dustpan to hold away the amount she needed.
Xiangru took the clean clam 'meat' back to the main kitchen, and several cooks here had a sharp eye, seeing this pile of completely shapeless clam 'meat' can say that it is a 'hairy' clam, Xiangru deeply admired and learned the identification method of 'hairy' clams by the way, which is very simple, there is fluffy 'hair' on the shell.
Xiangru seized the opportunity to learn some knowledge from the cooks to identify various types of clams, and then the cooks brought in the processed ingredients, and it was time to cook lunch, and everyone ended chatting and going about their work.
In the previous chat, Xiangru had already heard about the preferences of the young master Rui for eating several clams, since the little young master asked her to be more refreshing this time, then she still continued to have a soup, I hope the little young master will not get tired, because this is three bowls of soup from yesterday noon to today.
Compared with cooking, it can't compare to these old chefs, Xiangru can only compare with creativity, of course, this creativity is not invented by her, she has always been a pure taker.
She first asked the kitchen manager for a teapot of the appropriate size, and then took some dried seafood and a few mushrooms, and then went back to the kitchen to prepare the soup.
All the raw materials that can be changed are changed into small pieces, the teapot is washed, all the raw materials are put in, the salt is put in the ginger slices, enough water is added, the lid is covered, the pot is steamed for two quarters of an hour, and it is taken out and put elsewhere to keep warm.
When eating, you only need to pour the soup out of the spout, and I don't know if the little master is interested in the dry goods in the pot.
After Xiangru finished making the soup and explained the precautions to the kitchen staff, she went back to the house to rest, leaving the cooks behind her dumbfounded, especially those cooks, who had been cooks for decades, who would have thought that there would be such a way to make soup.
At lunchtime, the eldest princess and the eldest lady ate with him in Young Master Rui's room as usual, and when the teapot seafood soup was served, the people in the room were a little stunned with wide eyes, and this way of making soup?
Sister-in-law Lu walked to the table and picked up the teapot and poured out three bowls of soup, and distributed them to the eldest princess *** and the three people.
"Mother, this soup is so delicious." The eldest lady took one bite after another, and couldn't put it down.
"Doctor He's pot of soup is completely enough for the level of the imperial chef, I drank a lot of seafood soup in the palace, but I haven't drunk it like this, it's strangely fresh." The eldest princess has similar tastes to the 'girl'.
"That's the cooks are stupid, I can't think of it, but I thought of it, if she opened a tavern restaurant in the future, she would go to her to buy it if she was greedy, her food list must be the most abundant in the whole capital, and it will be much more convenient to entertain guests at home in the future." The more she thought about it, the happier she became.
"Sister, you're thinking too far, *** out of the palace is sent back to her hometown directly, even if she opens a restaurant, she also opens it in her hometown, are you hungry in the capital, do you still go all the way to her hometown to eat?" Young Master Rui put down the bowl of soup after drinking, and after the 'milk' mother wiped his mouth, he unceremoniously poured a bucket of ice water on his sister.
"Stinky boy~" Young Master Rui, who has been suppressed in the past few days, finally choked his sister speechless.
"You two, don't talk when you eat." The eldest Lord taught the two children.
"I'm sorry, mother." The sister and brother obediently admitted their mistakes, and they ate without saying a word
Entering the 'Door'
