Chapter 13: Hands-on

When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw that Wu Er's family was washing vegetables, and the ground was full of evening ingredients, fish, cabbage, radish, celery, shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, and pork, ham, tofu and so on in the basket.

Seeing Chen Qiaoqiao walk in, still holding the pot of pig lungs in her hand, Wu Erjia instantly felt nervous, could it be that Mrs. Fei already knew about it, and came to Xingshi to ask for guilt?

She hurriedly stood up and took a step back, she still remembers the slap in the morning, there is still a faint palm print on her face, she doesn't know how to tell her family when she goes back, if it is said that it is the main mother, she has to worry about it for a long time, the world is not good now, it is not so easy to find a serious job as a cook, although the Chen family is not a big family, but she can also make some oil and water, she doesn't want to lose this job!

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, since she was so afraid of her, she still dared to play tricks? It's a paper tiger again! "Husband...... Man, what are you doing in the kitchen again! "Wu Erjia's words are not even good. She doesn't want to be a substitute for the young grandmother like this!

Chen Qiaoqiao smiled very brightly, "Today's dinner, Mrs. Ben will do it herself, prepare delicious side dishes for the three young masters, and you won't have to work hard for the Wu Er's family, you will work hard every day, so let's wait for Mrs. Ben to finish it, and then you will come back to prepare people's meals, and go around first!" ”

Wu Er's family was stunned, she never thought that this Chen Qiaoqiao would come to such a show, "Madam! This is not good, how can a lady do such a chore? If the young grandmother knows, I won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

When Chen Qiaoqiao heard this, her face suddenly changed, and her face just now was like a sunny day, and her face immediately became cloudy, "Wu Erjia, are you going to use the eldest young grandmother to suppress Mrs. Ben?" What a bold man, do you mean that you only listen to the words of the young grandmother, and you will not listen to Mrs. Ben's words! Hum! Mrs. Ben is going to find the old butler to evaluate the reasoning, where did such a respectful and inferior cook be invited! ”

This time, Wu Er's family was not suppressed, "Madam! I was personally invited back from Ruixian Mansion by my grandmother, but I am not one of those unpopular little cooks! ”

Chen Qiaoqiao was a little shocked at this time, she didn't think that this cook still had some origins, although she didn't know what place Ruixian Building was, but looking at her arrogant appearance, she knew that it was not an ordinary restaurant. "Humph! Ruixian Building? Good, good. If your reputation for bullying the housewife spreads, don't say it's Ruixian Building, even the roadside stalls won't want you! "Chen Qiaoqiao is still imposing, in this humble ancient times, she is a slave who wants to blatantly fight with her master, it is absolutely impossible, even if she spits on Xingzi, she can drown her.

All the evil servants are just foxes and fake tigers, and if there is no one to support them, they will not dare to borrow their courage, unless they will never find a job in the future.

Sure enough, hearing Chen Qiaoqiao say this, Wu Erjia suddenly lost his momentum, and said pleadingly: "Madam! I've always taken over this kitchen, and Madame's meddling has made a mess of everything! Madame, rest and let me come! ”

Chen Qiaoqiao was unmoved, "Mrs. Ben just wants to prepare dinner for the three young masters herself, this is also worth your fuss, you let me out, do you hear?" Wu Er's family was still hesitating, and Xing'er walked in, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

This apricot went to Chen Qiaoqiao's room, only to hear that the little maid said that Mrs. and Miss had come to the kitchen, and she was afraid that something would happen, so she hurried over.

"Apricot! You came just in time, madam, I want to make dinner for the three young masters by myself, but this Wu Er's family is not allowed to live or die, I just want to go to your father Steward Liu! I'm kind enough to let her rest and she's coming! Chen Qiaoqiao added oil and vinegar.

Although Xing'er didn't know what Chen Qiaoqiao was going to do, she had a deep relationship with Chen, so she naturally wanted to help her, "Wu Er's family, Mrs. told you to rest, you can go and rest, where is so much nonsense!" ”

Xing'er is the housekeeper's daughter, and her status in the Chen family is not ordinary, even Hu Feng has to avoid three points, over the years, if Xing'er hadn't been by Chen's side, the Chen family would have had a worse life.

Wu Er's family saw that Xing'er also spoke, and then walked out unwillingly, Chen Qiaoqiao really felt funny, it was not good for someone to cook, she could rest, but she was as depressed as her husband who was robbed, why is this? In modern times, she has a friend's husband who is a chef, and after returning home, he is lazy, and he would rather eat instant noodles than cook rice, the theory is: burn it at work, burn it after work, and let him live? It can be seen that the chef is very reluctant to cook.

So what's going on with the Wu Er's family? Could it be that she was afraid of Hu Feng's reproach, but she would just be pushed on her when the time came!

In fact, Chen Qiaoqiao didn't understand, there was also intrigue between the servants, if a person didn't do anything but took money for nothing, he would be attacked by everyone, and everyone was busy, and a person from Wu Er's family was wandering around, I was afraid that it would cause a lot of gossip.

Chen Qiaoqiao kicked out the Wu Er's family, and started with great fanfare, Xing'er also volunteered, saying that she wanted to help, Chen Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Have you done your own things?" Later, your father will scold you! ”

Xing'er said with a straight face: "It's my father who asked me to help Madame, Madame has the heart to let the young ladies live a good life, but she also needs someone to help her, right?" Just a simple sentence, but it made Chen Qiaoqiao feel warm, this father and daughter really have the heart to help her!

Chen Qiaoqiao suddenly felt that it was not too miserable to cross over to the Chen family, at least the father and daughter and Xu Huifang were really good people!

Chen Qiaoqiao actually felt some tears in the corners of her eyes, she herself was surprised, she has always been independent, because she has to take care of herself since she was a child, she has experienced a lot, and she is rarely moved, why did she become sentimental in ancient times? It's not a costume drama!

In order to hide her emotions, Chen Qiaoqiao said, "Think left, think right, help my mother wash those dishes, will you?" Si Zuo and Si You nodded, "Of course you can wash the vegetables, as long as the Wu Er family is too late, they will ask us to help!" ”

Chen Qiaoqiao had a black face at that time, and the little cook dared to instruct the young lady, which was really amazing! Si Zuo saw that Chen Qiaoqiao's face was a little ugly, and he was afraid that she would worry, "Mother! It's nothing, after washing, Wu Er's family will give me a big steamed bun to eat! “

Her original intention was to alleviate Chen Qiaoqiao's worries, but Chen Qiaoqiao was a little disgusted with the Wu Er family, and she felt a little more pity for the two sisters. After that, she will take care of them in the future, and she will definitely not let them live like that again.

Chen Qiaoqiao just looked at them gently, "Go wash the vegetables, child, everything will be fine, just start with this meal tonight." ”

Xing'er was a little worried, "Madam, this young grandmother's mouth is messy, the three young masters are not very good to serve the master, madam, you ......" Although the words were not spoken, Chen Qiaoqiao understood what she meant, to be honest, she was also nervous in her heart, although she was sure of her cooking skills, but this person's taste is different, not to mention that this is the gap between the ancients and the modern people!

However, no matter what, she must give it a try, she doesn't want to open up the situation, she has been so passive, the basic life of eating and dressing cannot be guaranteed, how can she carry out a happy life in ancient times?

"Take a step, count a step, no matter what, you must try your best!" Of course, Chen Qiaoqiao didn't tell Xing'er that the main purpose of this dinner was for the confidence of the two sisters!

Chen Qiaoqiao looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, she already had a plan, so she hurriedly started, the first dish is the tricolor chrysanthemum shreds, first cut the carrots and cucumbers into shreds, blanch the carrots with water, mix them with cucumber shreds and chrysanthemum petals, add an appropriate amount of salt, monosodium glutamate, and sesame oil and mix well. The color is rich, salty and refreshing.

The second course is chrysanthemum fish balls, which are first cut into diced fish, marinated with green onions, ginger slices, cooking wine, and salt for 10 minutes, and steamed in a steamer for 6 minutes. Cut the tofu into small cubes and blanch it in boiling water to remove the beany smell. Heat the pot, add sesame oil, stir-fry with green onions until fragrant, add the soup and bring to a boil. Add cooking wine, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded shiitake mushrooms, and coriander, and bring to a boil again. Put the diced fish in the pot with the egg wash and tofu, add soy sauce, salt, sesame oil and vinegar and cook well, sprinkle with chrysanthemums, cooked ham shreds and pepper. The salty and umami taste is strong, the aroma is blended, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. Chen Qiaoqiao tasted it herself, and sandwiched a little bit of Si Zuo and Si Right, all of which couldn't stop complimenting. Chen Qiaoqiao was sad, these two children had not eaten anything good, so everything was good. Apricot is a kind of excuse, although everyone values her, but Apricot abides by the duty of a servant.

The third course is chrysanthemum minced meat, a few fresh white chrysanthemums, gently rinsed and cleaned, and the stamens are removed. Wash the meat and pork fat to make mushroom, add salt, monosodium glutamate, green onion and ginger juice, egg white, and wet starch and stir into a paste. The chrysanthemum is dipped in dry starch, and the middle is squeezed into a small round ball with minced meat as the center of the flower. Heat oil in a wok, hold the chrysanthemum in the oil pan with a spoon, fry until the meat is cooked, and sprinkle the egg yolk shreds on the minced meat to make stamens. It resembles a chrysanthemum, fresh and elegant, fragrant and delicious. Chen Qiaoqiao also wanted to give Si Zuo and Si You, but they shook their heads, "Mother! Let's save it for the evening, it doesn't look like there's a lot! ”

Chen Qiaoqiao was moved for a while, they are really two good children, there are not many dishes on this plate, and they are a little unsightly when they eat them. If it is a modern child, where is there such a sensible person? What kind of pampering are all of them! It's just that such sensibility is caused by an unhappy life, and it's not a very good thing, children still have to have children's willfulness to be real.
