Chapter 250: The King of Joy
The maids of the Zhaojing Palace, all of them have a lot of silver per month, and it is of course a piece of cake for each person to hold a few taels of silver.
The little maids on the second door have always wanted to talk to the maids in Yuanchenzhai, and even if they are asked to help go out to buy things, they will inevitably give some errand money.
There are almost twenty first- and second-class maids in Yuanchen Zhai together, and counting a few third-class maids with heads and faces, there are almost thirty people.
Jiang Jiang made a rough estimate, took a pen and made a list, wrote it in detail, and handed it to the little guy in charge of the comprador.
Although the young man's house has not been used for many years, there is nothing wrong with it because it was built with great care.
All kinds of ingredients have been bought in the morning, and everyone has cleaned them up.
Jiang Jiang had already made a list of recipes in his heart, and he immediately cut and pickled. Dishes that take a long time to cook are served in advance, and dishes with many formalities should be prepared first.
These maids usually think that she is used to being pampered and doesn't know anything, who would think that at this time they found that Jiang Jiang's hands and feet were neat and orderly, and there was no mistake in command and distribution.
"It seems that I really underestimated her before, but I didn't expect him to have this ability," Binglu held a handful of green vegetables in her hand, and said to Bingqing while choosing: "I just don't know what her skills are." ”
"It must be good," Bingqing said with a smile, "It looks like she's used to it." ”
"Wildcat, what did you do before you entered the house?" Xiaoshuang asked Jiang Jiang while washing the vegetables: "With such a big mess, you can cook it clearly." ”
"I'm just a country girl," Jiang Jiang couldn't tell the truth, of course, "but I have a relative's family who used to run a restaurant, and when I was a child, I helped in the kitchen there for a few days." ”
"I said, if this job is handed over to me, it will have to be messed up," Binglu has always been quick to say, "It's also thanks to you that you helped them for a few days when you were a child to learn so much." ”
"Hey, I've been planning for a few days, and I didn't sleep all night last night to cook like this, and if I have to do it temporarily, it's also a blind catch!" Jiang Jiang said with a smile.
With such a busy job, everyone's nap was waived, until the time of the lamp, Jiang Jiang prepared two large table dishes. There are a total of 20 dishes at each table, and they are just meat and vegetable combinations, sea and seafood, dried and fresh fruits, and seasonal vegetables, but these 220 dishes have never been seen and eaten by people in this house.
"Pork can still do that?"
"How can this pigeon soup be mixed with wine?"
"Look at how beautiful this fruit plate is, it's clearly a phoenix with wings ready to fly!"
"The wild cat is really a good idea, any dish on this table is enough for the cooks in the house to enjoy it for half a day."
Everyone saw these dishes reorganized by Jiang Jiang, although they haven't tasted it in their mouths yet, but they are salivating when they look good.
I can't help but be impressed by her.
"It's not my credit alone, if I don't have my sisters and sisters to help me, I can't cook so many dishes by myself," Jiang Jiang said modestly: "Today we are here to catch Sister Bingqing, and everyone is taking the opportunity to be lively, and it is still the New Year before the New Year." I belong to borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and I take the opportunity to relieve my cravings. ”
Everyone laughed at the words, and more than thirty people sat at two tables. Everyone didn't dare to drink, so Jiang Jiang made a few juices in advance and used them as drinks.
Everyone was very happy to eat and drink, because it was the first time to eat such a delicacy, which was both novel and interesting and very delicious, so everyone ate a little more than usual.
"Why is everything so delicious!" Binglu sighed with emotion: "Wildcat, your skills are too good!" ”
"What I said is that we don't eat less dishes rewarded by the prince in the palace, but this table of dishes is much better than the chefs in our house!" Someone immediately chimed in with Binglu.
"I remember, you still remember that there was a cook in Yuwen Mansion who came to our palace to help?" Bing Xue remembered something and said, "Just that time, the prince ate all the food made by the cook, and he almost grabbed it with Yuwen Gongzi!" ”
"It's not, they all say that our prince is a picky eater, but I didn't see him a little picky that time, and it is still a skilled chef, but unfortunately he has never been to the palace since." Binglu sighed and said, "At the beginning, I said that the prince had better keep this cook!" ”
Jiang Jiang was beside him, and he didn't dare to interject when he heard it.
"The food that the cook cooked at that time was something we hadn't seen before," Bingqing said, "It feels similar to the food made by a wild cat, although I didn't eat it, but I can't tell why it feels a little similar." ”
"There is such a thing," Jiang Jiang said with a haha, "My cooking skills must not be comparable to others." ”
"If you want me to see it," Binglu said nonchalantly: "If you don't wait for the prince to come back to the house, you can try to make a few things and let the prince taste them." ”
"Forget it, I still don't have an axe in this bit of craftsmanship," Jiang Jiang hurriedly shook his head and said, "My sisters are too exalted to me." ”
This feast was enjoyed by everyone, and at the same time, it also invisibly raised Jiang Jiang's status in the minds of everyone.
From this day on, since the small kitchen has been fired, then there is no need to use it in vain, every night, Jiang Jiang will simply make some supper, and eat with a few big girls in the upper room.
What kind of chicken noodles, eight-treasure porridge, barbecue, soup balls, Jiang Jiang will make a lot of delicacies, no matter what age, girls are partial to snacks.
These late-night snacks are relatively simple, saving time and effort, but they are a good way to get people together.
And because there are not many things used each time, I can't ask someone to go out to buy alone, I only need to talk to the person in the big kitchen, and I will naturally send my mother-in-law to send it over.
At most, it is just a deduction of one or two taels of silver from the account every month, and Jiang Jiang can naturally take out this money.
Anyway, the carbon of the Zhaojing Mansion is burned, and the pot of the Zhaojing Mansion is used. Jiang Jiang has always been unsparing when it takes little effort to win over people, anyway, it doesn't hurt her.
Within a few days, these maids will be inseparable from Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang and they became more and more familiar, in addition to eating together every day, they also couldn't help but do some boudoir games, nothing more than guessing coins, drawing lots, playing chess, guessing riddles and so on.
really responded to that sentence, the joy was too short for the night, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Jiang eats and plays here without being restrained, but he is really happy, and he has already left Prince Zhaojing behind.
On this day, a few people had nothing to do needlework, and when they were tired, they started to play a game, and Jiang Jiang proposed to play to catch the blind.
It was to blindfold one person with a cloth towel, and then the others tried to pull the hairpin from her head.
The blindfolded man tries to catch the others. If he catches someone else, he will be blind, and if he does not catch someone else, but he has someone pull out the hairpin from his head, then he will continue to be blind.
