Chapter 302: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
"Oh." Cai Xiaoxiao responded perfunctorily, and then put his gaze back on the chessboard. And Zhao Kangcheng ignored it even more, looked at the chessboard intently, and put the sunspot in his hand on the chessboard by the way.
Zheng Yi: "...... Can you not be so perfunctory! "Shouldn't he be praised for doing such a meritorious thing?
"What else do you want?" Cai Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said.
Zheng Yi sat down next to him and said, "Shouldn't you praise me?" I just made that Sun Lulu angry! ”
"Oh, you're so good." Cai Xiaoxiao praised very perfunctorily.
Zheng Yi: Can "......" be more perfunctory?
"Aren't you busy today?" Zhao Kangcheng couldn't help but ask when he saw him sitting there leisurely.
"I'm not busy." Zheng Yi said.
"Is there anything to do in the glaze factory?" Zhao Kangcheng asked again.
"Nope." Zheng Yi shook his head, and then suddenly thought of something, he looked at Zhao Kangcheng, "Brother, don't you think I'm in the way here?" "How did he hear that he wanted him to go?
"What do you say?" Zhao Kangcheng smiled at him, and the meaning was self-evident.
Zheng Yi: "......" asked him to say, can he stay? Apparently that's not possible. So he had no choice but to wave his hand away as if he had been abandoned.
The palace banquet started at eight o'clock in the evening, that is, at eight o'clock in the evening, and Cai Xiaoxiao asked the three princes to come over an hour in advance to get the dishes, that is, at the time of the unitary time.
And Cai Xiaoxiao began to prepare for cooking when he was not in time!
What she wants to do is the Buddha jumping over the wall, and she plans to use the Buddha jumping over the wall to make the signature dish of the small town home restaurant.
There are too many ingredients to prepare for Buddha jumping over the wall, and the process is more complicated, and the time required is also very long, so she will prepare so much time in advance.
She was going to let Zhao Rui cook the dish, and she could give oral guidance on the side, while Zhao Kangcheng and Zheng Yi watched from the sidelines.
They listened to Cai Xiaoxiao's novel, this dish was very complicated, and it took a long time, and this was a new dish developed by Cai Xiaoxiao, so they were very curious about what kind of dish this dish was.
First of all, Cai Xiaoxiao asked Zhao Rui to prepare the ingredients, which were a chicken, a catty of pork ribs, a catty of dried beef tendons, an appropriate amount of cooked ham slices, half a catty of fungus, six white mushrooms, six abalones, five pieces of dried fish maw, ten prawns, fifteen quail eggs, three hundred and fifty milliliters of rice wine, and then prepare a little salt.
Watching Zhao Rui go back and forth to take the ingredients in Cai Xiaoxiao's mouth, and then listening to the ingredients and their quantities that kept coming out of Cai Xiaoxiao's mouth, the onlookers opened their mouths slightly in surprise - so many? Do you want to boil it all together?
"This dish must be expensive when it sells, right?" Zheng Yi said suddenly. Inside, there are chicken, shrimp, and abalone, and it feels very expensive just to listen to this ingredient!
Cai Xiaoxiao nodded: "That's for sure, not only because of the ingredients, but also because this dish is too labor-intensive, so I plan to sell five hundred taels of Buddha jumping over the wall, and only sell three dishes a day!" ”
"Five hundred taels?!" The crowd was amazed.
"It's so expensive, will anyone buy it then?" Zheng Yi was skeptical.
"Don't worry." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled confidently at him.
Zheng Yi suddenly remembered that this dish was going to be presented to the emperor tonight, and as long as the emperor was satisfied, and then there was a rumor, someone would definitely come here! I'm afraid that no matter how expensive this Buddha jumping over the wall is, someone will definitely buy it! If you don't rush anything else, just rush this dish is what the emperor has eaten!
Thinking of this, Zheng Yi arched his hand and said to Cai Xiaoxiao: "Gao, really high, sister-in-law, little brother, I admire you!" "No wonder my sister-in-law suddenly said that she was going to make a new dish for the emperor to taste, the original intention was here!
With the help of the emperor's signboard of new dishes, this trick really made him admire.
Cai Xiaoxiao knew that he had figured it out, smiled slightly, and didn't say much.
While they were chatting, Zhao Rui was processing the ingredients, and Cai Xiaoxiao saw that his chicken had been processed, so he asked him to cook the whole chicken in a pot under cold water first. Then let him put the dried fish maw and dried beef tendons in oil, simmer slowly, and then cool them with cold water, and then put the cut beef tendons and pork ribs into the pot where the chicken is being stewed, cover the lid, and let it simmer for an hour.
"Remember to shake off the foam from time to time during the stew." Cai Xiaoxiao said to Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then Cai Xiaoxiao asked him to deal with the other ingredients during this hour: "Quail eggs should be boiled and skinned." She said.
In this waiting hour, Cai Xiaoxiao, Zhao Kangcheng, and Zheng Yi walked out of the kitchen and came to the courtyard, ready to do something else to pass the time.
And this so-called other thing is - playing chess!
Because he knew that there would be a long waiting time in the process of making a Buddha jumping over the wall, Cai Xiaoxiao had the foresight to move the chessboard down from the fourth floor and move it to the stone table in the backyard.
At this time, the chessboard had been unfolded, Cai Xiaoxiao sat aside, and let Zheng Yi play against Zhao Kangcheng - she didn't know much about Go, and she played chess with Zhao Kangcheng before just reluctantly, so it was better to let them play professionally, and she would just sit next to her and watch.
However, watching chess was obviously too boring for her, and after watching it for a while, she couldn't help but feel sleepy, and couldn't help but yawn.
Zhao Kangcheng saw it and asked, "Sleepy?" ”
Cai Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, it's just that I'm bored watching chess, you continue to play, I'll find something else to do." As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to go to the fourth floor to see if there was anything else interesting.
She only now realizes that it is also a very boring thing to be idle, for example, after she can't cook food, she doesn't know what to do at all, especially when there were no mobile phones in ancient times.
Cai Qiu and Cai Dong followed closely behind her, and the two of them were now inseparable from her and guarded her well.
When she came to the willow room, Cai Xiaoxiao rummaged through it and found that there was nothing for her to pass the time, so she was deflated and lay down on the couch directly, planning to simply sleep for an hour, and it was not too late to call her after Zhao Rui's chicken was stewed.
Cai Qiu and Cai Dong saw that Cai Xiaoxiao looked like she was going to sleep, the two glanced at each other, and Cai Qiu said, "Madam, why don't you make a dress for the little young master or young lady." ”
"Making clothes?" Cai Xiaoxiao opened her eyes.
"Yes, yes." Cai Dong nodded, "You make a dress, so that you can not only pass the time, but also when the little young master or young lady is born, you can wear the clothes you made for them." ”
