Chapter 153: Cloud Leg Mooncake
The little girl's name is Xie Jingfang, the niece of the counselor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and she is half a year younger than Ren Yan. She is quiet and gentle in front of people, but she has lost her body when she carries people, but she is the most outstanding in the crowd.
Once, Ren Yan came back from work to take a photo, and when he saw it from afar, he liked it so much, and he regretted it for his fiancΓ©: "Such a stunning world, can the seventh master feel sorry?" β
What responded to her was a shudder in the head.
Gu Tingwen looked at her meaningfully: "Miss Ren will think about me." β
Ren Yan still looked at the back of the other people reluctantly: "Do you love beauty, you like beautiful girls, girls like chic gentlemen, what a normal thing, doesn't the seventh master think Miss Xie is good-looking?" β
He laughed, "I agree with you. β
Ren Yan was unhappy, knocked over the bottle of vinegar in his heart, and grimaced at him: "You're too big!" β
It's clear that she is picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and she wants to blame him when she turns around, what is the reason!
Gu Ting stared at her with a smile.
This is Xie Jingfang's first return, and the second one has not been two days apart.
She changed into a tender yellow dress, delicate and cute, and polite, not to mention pleasing the old and young of the Gu family, even Ren Yan, who had never spoken to her, liked it.
Mrs. Gu dragged the little girl to speak all day long, listened to the drama and went to the shopping mall, and bought people a suitable amount of food and clothing; When it was dark, he also instructed the housekeeper and the chauffeur to send people home and come back.
After going back and forth like this for a few days, everyone thought that the Gu Xie family was going to get married, but no one expected that Xie Jingfang had no love for Gu Tingwen and even was extremely disgusted with marriage.
She came to Ren Yan, because she fell in love with her craftsmanship and wanted to apprentice.
It is enough to see that there is a female chef in the city of Beijing, and now this rich and noble daughter is not taking the splendid good fate, and she is going down to the ninth stream, the development of the situation is simply incredible, and the old lady Gu is so angry that she can't go out.
Xie Jingfang looked calm, and after getting acquainted with Ren Yan, she went straight to Hongyan Hall and Gu Mansion to look for her. After the person, she jumped up and down, regardless of wearing a skirt and cheongsam, and sat on the stone pier or railing.
"Master, I've been with you for almost half a month, so you accepted me, right?"
She grinded softly and hard, and she had to worship the master tea to finish, and she laughed and laughed, and her brain hurt by her.
"Miss Xie, you are still studying, how can you worship the two masters in a flash? When we finish our homework, let's talk about learning the craft, this matter is not in a hurry! β
"I'm in a hurry!" Xie Jingfang saw that she was leaving, and ran down from the railing with her arms, "When I finish my homework, my parents will send me to get married, and I won't even see the day!" β
She grabbed Ren Yan's sleeve and shook it: "Master, can you bear to see me being locked up at home and lying on the bed all day long, giving birth to children?" β
Ren Yan choked on her words.
What a girl, don't talk tabooly!
She smiled helplessly: "I just said that, why didn't you listen to it?" And my parents have to admit to the apprenticeship, otherwise I will say that I have abducted you! β
Xie Jingfang patted her chest and promised: "Master, you wait for me for two days, and I'll take care of my parents!" β
After running two steps, the person came back and shouted: "You can't worship the two masters, you are pedantic, you see that I study architecture, but also learn foreign and Chinese languages, the teacher worships several people, and he is a chef!" β
After yelling, it was turned upside down again.
Mrs. Gu's personal old mother passed by, sighed that the world was going down, and walked away.
I didn't see Xie Jingfang's shadow for the next three days, Ren Yan thought that he was asking his family to stop him, and he relieved himself of this thought, but on the fourth day, he pulled his own brother and cousin and came to her with the documents of voluntary apprenticeship.
Afraid that she shouldn't, Xie Jingfang also lobbied her brothers to intercede with Gu Tingwen, and she will apprentice today, if she doesn't worship, she can't work, and Lai Renyan is unwilling to leave here.
The shopkeeper's backyard snorted the teapot, and he was happy to turn around inside and out: "Our master Ren is also going to accept apprentices, it's a good thing, it's okay!" β
Coaxed to see the excitement, Ren Yanxin nodded as soon as his heart softened, but he didn't dare to let people worship the teacher and kowtow to tea, and accepted the documents and thanks, which can be regarded as recognizing this apprentice.
Xie Jingfang has never done rough work since she was a child, but she is thoughtful and thoughtful, and she starts from the basic skills when she enters the door; Even if he was injured, he didn't say anything, so he pulled a handkerchief and wrapped it twice to soak it in the water.
Later, his fingers became inflamed, red and swollen, and Ren Yan pulled him to the hospital, but the next day he got out of school, and he diligently followed Ren Yan and worked hand in hand.
In addition to going to school, he followed Ren Yan in all his movements, sitting and sleeping, and went home to visit his parents on Saturdays and Sundays; After a long time, Gu Tingwen first noticed that something was wrong.
"Master Ren, a senior apprentice, has received very well."
Ren Yan listened, and smiled: "But no, Jingfang is smart and studious, even the master has said that in three and five years, maybe his reputation will rise, I haven't seen such a clever apprentice for many years." β
Having a good apprentice is really exciting!
Ren Yan felt that he was so happy that he walked lightly recently.
"You got off work late today, and you didn't taste the cloud leg mooncakes she learned to make, only a few days after learning, and the craftsmanship is really good."
Xuanwei ham is two days ago Xie Jingfang called the family to honor her, Ren Yan does not plan to let her run for nothing, make a drawer of cloud leg moon cakes called to take back, no year, no festival, only when people old and young try it.
In fact, the cloud leg moon cake was made once by the master invited by Gu Tingheng when he was in Huguo Temple, and he tried to get the essentials every time, so he knew the importance of the cloud leg stuffing, and now it is the right time.
Xie Jingfang naturally couldn't ask for it, so she followed her behind.
Bake the pot over low heat, pour two taels of flour into it and fry it slowly, and start the pot when you smell the rich aroma of the noodles; Xie Jingfang is careful and bold, and she is comfortable after practicing twice.
Ren Yan took advantage of her busy work to cut the cloud leg into pieces, soaked it in water for a long time, and waited until the meat skin was pink and white before putting it in the steamer to steam it thoroughly, and then clipping it out and chopping it into finely chopped meat.
Add fried flour, rose bowls of sugar and honey to the diced meat, mix evenly, seal it in an urn and bury it in an ice pile to marinate; It took two days to get the stuffing out.
After the filling of the cloud leg mooncake is made, it is necessary to make a water and oil skin, put wine koji and cooked lard in the noodles, knead it into large and small flocculents, and occasionally pour two spoons of ice water to knead it into a dough.
The work of the noodles is to adjust the filling and wrap it into the dough that has been rolled out repeatedly, and the mouth is closed like a bun, and the head is flushed down and put into the oven to bake for half an hour.
Out of the box oven, the cloud leg mooncakes are golden and crisp, crispy but not soft, sweet and salty mellow ham filling, fragrant.
The two girls ate a bowl of white fungus soup until they were satisfied.
When Gu Ting heard her describe this beauty, he almost wanted to see the appearance of Hele at that time, but there was a crisis in Hele: "I said well, but I didn't mean this. β
Ren Yan was pondering the decoration of the new restaurant, and said casually: "Anything else?" β
"Miss Xie treats you better."
Ren Yan compared a few wood carvings, absent-mindedly: "I am her master, she is not good to me, she is going to get out of the teacher!" β
There was a long silence.
Later, she relieved herself and smiled when she saw his appearance: "What are you thinking, is there anything important, the seventh master even has to eat the vinegar of a big girl?" β
It's really not that he is narrow-minded, it's that Ren Yan, a girl, is a nerd in love.
Han Han is stupid, why did you fall in love with it?
Gu Ting closed the book, looked at her and smiled: "Why were you willing to take me in at the beginning?" β
It's about Tofu Hutong.
Ren Yan tilted his head to look at him, his face was red: "The favorite man is going to run out of breath when he sees it, so don't care about anything else, drag it home and raise it before talking!" β
"Why do you like it?"
Ren Yan's narrow mind came up: "The three yuan under the overpass, live my life, I felt that even if I promised to repay the kindness, who would have thought that you also had this meaning!" β
Gu Tingwen asked: "If you change someone, it will be love at first sight?" β
That doesn't work.
She is picky, and she naturally can't wait for the gentlemen, but fortunately it's him.
Ren Yan shook his head: "No, it's a long-term love ......"
If he wanted to explain anything, he had already come over and ate her words one by one, his body was entangled in one place, and his heartbeat gradually became indistinguishable.
Ren Yan heard him murmur clearly: "What a coincidence." β
The next day, Ren Yan and Xie Jingfang went to the new restaurant.
When discussing the decoration of the hall, she remembered the three silver dollars, and now there were two of them lying in her pocket, so she asked Xie Jingfang if she could make a new trick and put it on the wall of the hall.
Xie Jingfang knew her thoughts, and promised to ask the family to make a design and show her the pictures.
She often comes to the new restaurant to compare the size, so that she can draw the correct data and make satisfactory patterns; The new restaurant has also invited craftsmen to tidy up, and it is a lively scene inside and out.
In addition to learning recipes and etiquette from Xiao Mei, the hired women are also responsible for delivering three meals to the craftsmen.
took advantage of the midnight rest, and when his hands and feet were not clean, he stepped into the backyard, and asked the men guarding the yard to catch and beat him and take things away; There are always times when there are omissions.
Ren Yan didn't go to work that day, so he brought Xie Jingfang to supervise the work, and when he had lunch, he became messy; A craftsman touched the backyard and called a woman to scratch her face.
The man is a man who doesn't grow up, shouting that he will sleep with the eldest son if he gives it to his eldest son, and he turns his face and doesn't recognize people when he thinks he has less money, and he shouts so loudly that the neighbors can hear it clearly.
The turmoil some time ago has not passed, and this will make a fuss and sit on the conviction of the crime, and the neighbors will gather around the door to watch the excitement, saying that Gu Qiye's fiancΓ©e is not a good cook, why did she open a kiln?
The gentleman asked someone to press him to the ground, and Ren Yan entered the door and looked at his face with two mouths: "One more grin, I'll listen!" β
The first was ruthless, and asked Ren Yan to beat his swollen face and howl like a pig begging for mercy, crying and crying to explain the ins and outs, and the police came to arrest people, and the matter was over.
Ren Yan continued to appease the women, and it didn't stop until it was dark.
Out of the door, she was thinking about how to take care of their safety in the future, when a woman hurried past her, raised the scissors in her hand and aimed them at her vest.
"Master, be careful!"
Xie Jingfang's eyes were quick, and she grabbed Ren Yan and blocked her head.
The tip of the scissors went into the flesh, and there was a muffled popβ
