Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Beads of the Twin Dragons Playing with Pearls
Li Hong coughed a few times, "You can stuff some straw into it, after all, your body is too thin." ”
Ye Jinyan nodded in the white cloth coat.
She stuffed a lot of grass, and her waist was round in an instant, but her face was still clean, like a little white-faced scholar.
"There is a dish on the menu called Double Dragon Playing Pearl, although everything in it is clearly explained, but there is a key point that I have not figured out thoroughly."
Ye Jinyan glanced at the recipe he gave him and asked, "Are you talking about the bead of the Double Dragon Opera?" ”
It wasn't that she guessed it herself, but that it was already written on the paper: the beads are undecided.
Li Hong nodded, his chest feeling a little stuffy.
Ye Jinyan saw his discomfort and wanted to go to the doctor, but he stopped him.
"It's okay, just lie down for two days, the recipe of Double Dragon Playing Beads has been given to you, as for whether you can do it, it depends on your own talent."
Ye Jinyan agreed seriously, and took the recipe to figure it out by himself.
Double dragon playing with pearls, in fact, to put it bluntly, isn't it the carving craft of big radish? Coupled with the fragrant sauce soup, of course, the most eye-catching thing is the double dragon shape carved from two large radish.
A bead is to be hung in the middle of the double dragon, but it is still unknown what material the bead is made of.
At the beginning, eggs were written on the recipe, but they were drawn later, maybe the eggs were too ordinary to reflect the uniqueness of Ssangyong playing with pearls.
Ye Jinyan sat on the stone pier, from morning to afternoon, but his brain was still not open.
"Yan girl, you are here."
Ye Jinyan looked up and just saw Er Niu coming from a distance.
She was stunned, and then shouted, "Brother Erniu? ”
Erniu walked to Ye Jinyan's side and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Yan girl, I have something I want to ask you." ”
Ye Jinyan knew that he had come to find him on purpose, "Brother Erniu, how do you know that I am here?" ”
Erniu smiled: "I've been here for several years, I don't know which restaurant is in the restaurant, since you are not in the room or on the first and second floors, then you must have come to the back kitchen." ”
"Haha, I've been getting acquainted with them for the past two days." Ye Jinyan pretended to smile shyly.
Erniu opened his mouth and suddenly asked as if he remembered something, "By the way, what happened yesterday?" ”
He slept soundly in the middle of the night last night, but he vaguely heard some noise, he could probably judge that the direction of the sound was the back kitchen, Ye Jinyan stayed in the back kitchen every day these days, she should know.
Ye Jinyan replied truthfully: "Yesterday, a few people went into the back kitchen and injured Brother Li."
"Li Hong is injured?"
Erniu was even more surprised than Ye Jinyan.
"Well, so he won't be able to go to Jia Yuanwai's birthday banquet two days later."
"What should I do then?" Erniu is really anxious, their restaurant is all relying on Li Hong to become popular, if he falls, their restaurant will be over.
"Brother Li decided to let me go to the birthday banquet on his behalf to be a cook." Ye Jinyan explained.
Erniu didn't believe it, in his memory, Ye Jinyan and Li Hong never seemed to have intersected, and Li Hong's temper was extremely bad, how could he let a little girl go to Master Jia's birthday banquet instead of him.
"You ...... How can it be so familiar? ”
Ye Jinyan stretched out his hand, put it in front of his mouth and made a shushing motion, blinked his eyes, and said, "This matter is over, I'll tell Brother Erniu again, by the way, Brother Erniu, what do you have to say for me to bring to my aunt?" ”
Er Niu remembered his purpose for looking for Ye Jinyan, he laughed a few times, scratched his head, took out a purse from his arms, put it in Ye Jinyan's hand, and said: "The night I married her, she gave me this thing, and now I will return this purse to her." ”
"Give it back to your aunt?" Ye Jinyan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, no, no...... Be. Erniu stammered as soon as he was nervous, "You help me bring her another word, I will come back, always by her side, the most important token and I will not leave her." ”
Ye Jinyan didn't expect Brother Erniu, who didn't know a few big characters, to talk about love.
She tucked her purse into her sleeve and said with a smile, "Auntie will be waiting for you at home." ”
Erniu bit her lip, and her voice lowered for a while: "I know that I have made her suffer all these years, I have heard all those rumors in the village, but I have no way to help her settle down, I am not a good man, I want to give her a better life, but I can't even protect her in this life." ”
There are very few men in the village who love a woman exclusively, where men are heaven and women are nothing more than objects, just like clothes, which are torn and have their own new clothes to replace.
Ye Jinyan looked at the purse in his sleeve, and his heart softened suddenly.
She went back to the room and tried to put the purse in her sleeve into the bag, but as soon as she opened the bag, several preserved eggs rolled out.
She looked at the preserved eggs on the table, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.
There are no preserved eggs here, and if you use it as a bead for the double dragon to play with pearls, you may be a blockbuster.
Ye Jinyan made up her mind and began to learn the dishes, at first she broke down several times, because the carving of radish was indeed a little difficult for her, and the weapons she used before were not swords, but cannonballs and pistols. Now the difficulty is that carving a dragon requires exquisite knife skills, and she, no.
However, she was always a quick learner, and after carving several turnips, a living dragon appeared. When the cooks in the stove saw her skillful knife work, they all thought that she had practiced for several years.
Ye Jinyan's actions in the stove room were told to Li Hong by some little cooks, and Li Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was not 100% relieved when he handed over this matter to Ye Jinyan, because the difficulty of Shuanglong playing with pearls was not ordinary, but now he was relieved.
Ye Jinyan's cooking skills are not bad, coupled with Li Hong's intentional or unintentional suggestions, her cooking skills are even more than a few streets away from those cooks.
On the day of Jia Dayuanwai's 70th birthday, the whole town was red, and a long street and alley were full of people from one end of the town to the other end of the town.
It seems that Jia Yuanwai is really important in this town.
Ye Jinyan was dressed in white cloth and followed some cooks inside.
Leading them was a thin and lean butler, who held the account book in his hand, flipped through the pages one by one, and finally walked in front of Ye Jinyan.
He glanced at the name on the ledger and asked, "Are you Li Hong?" ”
Ye Jinyan replied seriously: "My brother was beaten by a gangster a few days ago and broke his bones, and now he is still lying in bed, so I am here on behalf of my brother." ”
She thought that the housekeeper would take care of this matter, but before she could get nervous, she saw the housekeeper take out a brush from his bosom and make a gesture on the account book, and asked, "Name." ”
Ye Jinyan lowered his head, "Li Zhang." ”
Li Hong did tell Ye Jinyan before that he had a younger brother named Li Zhang, who later died of smallpox.
The housekeeper didn't embarrass her, and turned around and asked his subordinates to take her to the back kitchen.
Ye Jinyan had never seen such a big place, and she followed those subordinates around several times before finding the location of the stove room.
