Chapter 104: Strange Temper
It is said that Song Yao changed into a plain dress, and went to the living room to meet guests after simply tidying up her appearance, but she couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the comer.
Not only because the other party was not the person she thought she was, but also because in Song's sister-in-law's restaurant, Song Yao had seen the master and servant.
Before He Liansheng left, Song Yao had been to the restaurant with him as a guest, and it was inappropriate to come to Yunzhou City as the owner, but not to look at his own business.
It was also that time when I went to inspect, and the first time I saw the two masters and servants who were extremely picky in the year of Huajia, they were obviously happy to eat, but they still commented on the advantages and disadvantages of the dishes.
If it weren't for the fact that these two people also commented on the merits, and they only discussed it themselves, Song Yao might have regarded them as people who found fault.
"Yuanbao, as a little host, be polite to guests." Song Yao gathered her memories and reprimanded Song Yuanbao, who was pulling the old man's beard, before nodding at the old man and said, "I don't know why this old man came to the mansion?" The little woman's surname is Song, and the old man calls me Song Niangzi. ”
"Boy, didn't you say hello to your mother?" The old man stared at Song Yuanbao, obviously accusing.
"I don't know if you're coming here today, what are you doing to greet my mother in advance?" Song Yuanbao asked rhetorically.
"So, it's not the old man's." The old man has a strange temper, and he has always had no temper when he looks at himself well, but now he wants to eat Song Yao's private dishes, so he has to be polite, so he twisted his beard and said: "I admire Song Niangzi's cooking, so I came to taste it." This is a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, and please don't be stingy with your housekeeping skills. ”
When the old servant heard this, he hurriedly took a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Red Sleeves.
The red sleeves unceremoniously counted in front of the guests, and seeing the corners of the old servant's mouth twitching, Song Yao explained with a smile: "The little girl was born as a businesswoman, and she likes the rules of silver and goods, so as not to make everyone's cooperation unpleasant." ”
"The old man is here for dinner, so there is no need to say more polite words. Over there are the ingredients prepared by the old man, and Mrs. Song looks at the preparations. After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and moved his muscles, and blew his beard at Song Yuanbao and said: "Boy, the meal money has been given to your mother, shouldn't you also arrange a guest room, let my old bones rest for a while, this will not be cashiered." ”
"This ......" Of course, Song Yuanbao wanted to nod, but felt a little unkind, so he looked at Song Yao.
"10,000 taels of silver, you should enjoy VIP treatment, how can you accept silver again." Song Yao answered with a smile, rubbed the top of Song Yuanbao's head and said, "Son, let people prepare a guest room for the old man, the melon and fruit snacks are ready, and you accompany the old man to relieve his boredom." ”
"Don't be so polite, I'll go to the little guy's room to squint for a while, just to test what he has learned, this kid in the province is bragging." The old man waved his hand, then took Song Yuanbao's hand and walked towards the door.
Looking at the old man's unceremonious gesture, Song Yao couldn't help but smile, after coming to this world, it was the first time to meet an old man with such a temperament, it was very cute.
"Let the food be brought to the kitchenette, and I'll go to the storeroom to get some condiments." Song Yao gave a command to Red Sleeves, and walked out of the hall.
It was probably the old man who spent 10,000 taels of silver to come to Song Yao to eat, but he still felt a little wronged in his heart, so he deliberately made things difficult for Song Yao.
The ingredients sent are all rare things in this era, some things can only be eaten by the big families, and some are exclusive offerings of the imperial palace, which ordinary people can't see at all.
Either cabbage, potatoes, tofu, these dishes are all over the street.
Although the dishes in Song's Sister-in-Mind are all 'new styles', they are all ingredients that can only be found in the market.
Song Yao sorted it out and quickly formulated a recipe.
The cabbage was made into Bergamot Guanyin Lotus and the old kitchen cabbage respectively; Potatoes are potato chips in dry pot and stewed potatoes in sauce; Duck meat and winter bamboo shoots made of phoenix wearing gold clothes, as well as chrysanthemum tofu, cuizhu primrose, palace lamp shrimp, exquisite jade heart, boiled pork slices and other ten dishes.
There are also appetizing coral crystal rolls, healthy Tai Chi soup, and cakes are plum blossom crisp and purple sweet potato yam cake.
Fortunately, Red Sleeves is very good at cooking, coupled with the cutting pier in Qinghai, coupled with the two rough mothers-in-law to light the fire, Song Yao was busy for more than an hour, so he ordered someone to set the meal.
The old man is very particular about eating, and Song Yao has to carefully observe the name of a dish to see if it is in line with the dish itself. After tasting each dish, he had to rinse his mouth and taste the next one, but he didn't say a word of evaluation, so that Song Yao couldn't tell if the old man was satisfied.
After tasting all the dishes, the style of painting suddenly changed, the old man beckoned the servant to the table, and the master and servant began to taste, and soon forgot the elegant appearance just now.
Song Yuanbao's mother and son stood aside, looking at the master and servant with a huge gap between the front and back, and turned their faces away, saying that they couldn't appreciate this appearance.
"No wonder your kid is so picky about snacks, it's your cooking skills that make him miserable."
After eating, the old man wiped the corners of his mouth and said with some dissatisfaction: "But although your dish looks good, the taste is also good, and the name is passable, but it is too plain, and there are barely a few pieces of meat in this boiled meat slice." This is very different from the style of your restaurant, so you don't want to make these dishes to fool my old man, right? ”
"You also know that you are getting older, and eating something light is good for your health. Besides, the dishes you brought over are really limited, just like the winter bamboo shoots, there are many recipes, but there are too few ingredients, and I pay attention to excellence, so I can only make such a dish in the end. ”
Song Yao spread her hands and said helplessly: "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, if the old man wants to eat well, then prepare the ingredients, the sea that flies in the sky, as long as you can bring it, I will do it." ”
"Song Niangzi, are you talking about my old man's slamming the door?" The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, he meant to make things difficult for Song Yao, but he didn't expect that Song Yao would not cook any of his own meat and vegetables, so he could only come over with the things he brought.
patting Song Yuanbao on the shoulder, Song Yao didn't want to compete with the old man for a quick conversation, so he motioned for his son to go into battle.
"My mother can do what she says, and it's the first time I've seen these dishes, so you must not have eaten them, right? I'm still hungry, and you're so old, and you're not afraid of breaking your stomach, so you don't want to leave me a mouthful. Song Yuanbao said aggrievedly.
The master and servant blushed, and then they realized that the food just now was too ugly, as if they hadn't eaten anything good for many years.
"A meal of 10,000 taels of silver is not something that everyone can afford, and of course you can't lose money." When the servant finished speaking, he hiccuped.
"Not really." Song Yuanbao hugged his elbows, raised his little face and said: "Don't say it's somewhere else, it's just that there are more lords with silver in Yunzhou City, if I let out the wind, don't say it's 10,000 taels of silver, even if it's doubled, someone is willing to invite my mother-in-law to be the chef, this is still the face I will give when you are old." ”
