Chapter 172: Foodie
A chef cheekily asked, "This, Miss Yu, you said pumpkin, how do you use pumpkin?" ”
In their concept, pumpkin can only be used as a filling in a pie, or used for stir-frying, and as for other snacks, I'm really sorry, they don't know much about it, so naturally they don't know how this pumpkin becomes a snack.
"It's easy."
Yu Qiuyu smiled, she picked up a piece of dough, "Steamed pumpkin and kneaded it to become pumpkin puree, then mix pumpkin puree into flour, knead it with water or honey water to form a dough, and then make the dough into a snack." ”
They had never heard of such a simple method, but they knew it was delicious.
The cooks looked at each other again.
"Xiao Qiuyu, can you do this method?"
It's not that they suspect Yu Qiuyu, but that they have never heard of this method before when Yu Qiuyu said.
Yu Qiuyu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "If it works, you will know if you try it." ”
It seems that Yu Qiuyu doesn't care about the result at all, the main thing is that she is very confident, and she is not worried about what the result will be.
After observing how the chefs of Confucian Shixuan made this kind of dim sum, Yu Qiuyu told them an easier way in return.
Subsequently, Yu Qiuyu did not continue to stay in the Confucian Food Pavilion, but quickly returned home.
She still needs to find ingredients to make a bread cellar.
With a bread cellar, you can also make that kind of dim sum similar to osmanthus cake.
Besides, she had to find a way to prepare some milk and something.
With milk, the taste of the dim sum will only be even more delicious.
Therefore, to Song Zhe's surprise, as soon as they went out, they saw Yu Qiuyu walking towards the craftsman Xu's shop.
Because Yu Qiuyu came this time mainly to specialize in the oven of the chef of Confucian Shixuan, Song Zhe subconsciously thought that Yu Qiuyu wanted to ask the craftsman Xu to make the oven.
"Xiao Qiuyu, I know you like to make dim sum and eat dim sum, but you don't know if you will ask a craftsman to make a big oven in your house in order to eat dim sum, right?"
He didn't believe that Yu Qiuyu would be so whimsical.
How much manpower and firewood does an oven need to support, Yu Qiuyu shouldn't spend so much money and energy to make an oven in order to make snacks, let alone waste so much firewood and energy to support the operation of this oven.
Yu Qiuyu rolled her eyes.
"You're thinking too much."
The oven is so huge, she is not the kind of person who does not measure herself, and naturally knows that the power of her and the oven is so disparity, so there is no way to use the oven to make snacks.
She wanted to ask the craftsman Xu to build a bread cellar in their house.
With the bread cellar, she can design snacks properly, and the bread cellar is relatively stable, even if it is wind and rain, it may not be damaged.
Compared to the oven, it is more suitable for the bread cellar.
Thinking about it, Yu Qiuyu was glad that he was from modern times again.
Isn't she bringing advanced technology from modern times back to ancient times?
Coming to the yard of the craftsman Xu, the craftsman Xu was still helping others with something.
Yu Qiuyu entered the yard of the craftsman Xu and saw that the craftsman Xu was busy, so he didn't disturb them, but stood quietly aside and waited for the craftsman Xu to finish his work.
Yu Qiuyu didn't know how long she had waited, anyway, in the end, someone saw Song Zhe and called out in surprise, "Lord Song." "Craftsman Xu these people only discovered their existence.
"Miss Yu, Lord Song, why didn't you tell me when you came, you see, I've been busy all the time, and I haven't noticed the two of you."
Craftsman Xu was a little embarrassed.
Although his skills are superb, and neighbors within a radius of ten miles like to come to him to repair things, but he is a flat-headed ordinary person in the end, and he pays attention to his eyesight, and knows that Song Zhe is a high-ranking official who is not easy to mess with, so he does not dare to be disrespectful to Song Zhe.
"It's fine."
Seeing that the arrival of himself and Song Zhe scared the craftsman Xu like this, Yu Qiuyu suddenly became a little embarrassed, and hurriedly spoke to ease the craftsman Xu's emotions.
"Originally, there should have been a first-come-first-served errand, so we should wait for you here, it's not a big deal."
Yu Qiuyu spoke very politely, and the tension of the craftsman Xu eased slightly, and he staggered his gaze away from Yu Qiuyu's body and fell on Song Zhe's body.
Song Zhe nodded and agreed with Yu Qiuyu's words.
Craftsman Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the gossip in the heart of the craftsman Xu is still faintly attacking, the relationship between Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe is so close, is it really as rumored by the outside world, Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe have a close relationship?
Thinking about it, the craftsman Xu couldn't help but look at Yu Qiuyu differently again.
The person in front of Yu Qiuyu saw that it was Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe who came to find the craftsman Xu, and immediately didn't dare to procrastinate, and made an excuse that he had something to do, so he gave up his position.
Yu Qiuyu originally wanted to stop the man and confirm if the person was really all busy, but who knows, the man actually ran away.
Looking at the man's back, Yu Qiuyu couldn't help but touch his face.
It's scary, it shouldn't be her.
She's so good-looking, and she's so relatable.
Thinking about it, Yu Qiuyu took the initiative to approach the craftsman Xu.
She roughly talked to the craftsman Xu about her thoughts.
Maybe something else, an earthen stove or something, the craftsman Xu is clear, and he can make it, but the bread cellar should not be seen by the craftsman Xu.
In order to be able to make a bread cellar perfectly, Yu Qiuyu felt that she should communicate her ideas to the craftsman Xu in as much detail as possible.
Thinking about it, Yu Qiuyu described it to the craftsman Xu in more detail.
Craftsman Xu originally thought that a pampered second prefect like Yu Qiuyu should not be very good at these, and she should have hastily instructed herself to make very common things and the like, who knew that Yu Qiuyu directly asked him to make a cellar where he could make snacks.
A cellar for dim sum?
It was the first time that the craftsman Xu had heard of such a statement.
But Yu Qiuyu said eloquently, reasonably, and even used a red pen to draw a graphic pattern for him on paper.
After a short quarter of an hour, Artisan Xu's opinion of Yu Qiuyu underwent a earth-shaking change.
He thought that Yu Qiuyu came to him just to make something to play.
Who knew that Yu Qiuyu was very serious when he came up.
Yu Qiuyu finished narrating to the craftsman Xu, and seeing that the craftsman Xu was still stunned, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Master Xu, do you understand?" ”
Craftsman Xu nodded.
When Yu Qiuyu described it to him in such detail, and even drew drawings, he still didn't understand the words, so wouldn't he want to smash his craftsman Xu's signboard?
Yu Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, he understood.
If the craftsman Xu still didn't understand, he would have to spend more time communicating with him to describe it.
Yu Qiuyu thought about it and asked him, "When will you come to help us get it?" ”
Craftsman Xu also needs to dissipate the idea given by Yu Qiuyu, after all, he really wants to arrange this project perfectly, craftsman Xu is a very responsible person, he will not deal with official affairs, so he has gradually developed a good reputation in all directions.
Therefore, this cellar cannot be arranged immediately.
"Don't worry, you let me go back and ponder first, think and think, if I think about it, I will go to your house to help you do it."
Craftsman Xu pondered for a moment and gave an approximate time.
Yu Qiuyu nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for you at home." ”
After saying that, he probably felt that it was easy to get in the way of staying here with Craftsman Xu any longer, after all, Song Zhe was here, how many people dared to come up to Craftsman Xu for help when they were still in Craftsman Xu's yard?
Therefore, Yu Qiuyu directly dragged Song Zhe out.
"Qiu Yu, what kind of cellar did you and the craftsman Xu talk about, what is it for?"
At that time, the craftsman Xu Neng understood that it was because the craftsman Xu himself was born as a craftsman, and if you gave him an idea, he could quickly understand what you wanted, but Song Zhe was not, so Song Zhe couldn't understand Yu Qiuyu's thoughts.
"Make dim sum."
Yu Qiuyu said the answer unabashedly.
"Make a snack?"
Don't use an iron stove?
Song Zhe's face was a little puzzled.
"The residual temperature of this kind of cellar is relatively high, and it is not easy to burn, and its area is not large, so it will not waste so much firewood just to make a little heart."
Yu Qiuyu was full of words and talked eloquently.
Song Zhe nodded.
Originally, he should have been surprised by Yu Qiuyu's cleverness and wisdom, but now Song Zhe was not surprised at all.
After all, Yu Qiuyu is a person who can think of a way to increase the production of rice and other grains, so what's the trouble in coming up with a structure that is convenient for making snacks?
Therefore, Song Zhe was not surprised at all.
However, Song Zhe still wanted to try Yu Qiuyu's craftsmanship.
What kind of flavor will the so-called adding milk crab roe to flour be?
It should be delicious, right?
After all, it tastes delicious when you think about it.
Yu Qiuyu's research was successful, and Song Zhe was looking forward to it.
He, like Yu Qiuyu, is an out-and-out foodie, but unlike Yu Qiuyu, Yu Qiuyu likes to study food, and he likes to swallow food in his stomach, and the way the two of them like food can be said to be the same.
He had to wait for Yu Qiuyu to make the dim sum.
Because he coveted the food made by Yu Qiuyu, Song Zhe also deliberately took a few days off from Beijing.
He had to wait for Yu Qiuyu to help him make the honey crisp and milk crisp she wanted, so he had to make those officials in the capital wait a few more days.
Yu Qiuyu was quite puzzled at the beginning, Song Zhe obviously came to Lingnan to deal with some things, but how to deal with it, Song Zhe didn't leave?
That's a strange question.
Until one day, she overheard the conversation between Song Zhe's guards and Song Zhe.
