Chapter Fifty-Eight: Failure to Cook
The stove room was like a patchwork of two houses, obviously just a place for cooking and cooking, but there were many chimneys, which seemed to be able to accommodate dozens of cooks.
Ye Jinyan was assigned to the window position, and each cook was followed by a special subordinate.
Ye Jinyan stood in front of the stove, waiting left and right without waiting for the person who came to check on him, but waited for a familiar face.
Ah Fu walked towards Ye Jinyan in dusty clothes, his hair was tied up by a wooden hairpin, his hands were wrapped around his chest, and a pair of eyes looked at her with a pair of sneaky eyes.
Ye Jinyan originally wanted to ignore him, but he didn't expect Ah Fu to take the lead in blocking her sight, he raised his bearded chin and smiled at her: "I didn't expect to see you here." ”
He saw through the fact that Ye Jinyan was dressed as a woman at a glance, after all, he was very impressed by Ye Jinyan.
Ye Jinyan responded indifferently: "I don't know you. ”
"Hahahaha, you don't know me, then I know you, don't think that I don't know me if I'm pretending to be a man."
Ye Jinyan frowned, she didn't want to waste time, she had more important things to do.
She moved to the side, and Ah Fu then walked up to her, seemingly enjoying following her.
Ye Jin asked unhappily, "What do you want to do?" ”
"What do I want to do?" Ah Fu put his hands around his chest and raised his eyebrows, "Of course I want to marry you home as a daughter-in-law." ”
Saying that, he took a step forward and whispered in Ye Jinyan's ear: "So do you agree?" ”
Ye Jinyan smiled slightly, his voice was as cold as a thousand miles of ice, "If you don't go over again, don't blame me for being unkind." ”
The rules of Jia Yuanwai's birthday banquet are very strict. Each dish has a time to be served, and the score is exactly right.
Ye Jinyan thought that it was impossible for him to appear on Jia Yuanwai's seventieth birthday, but he didn't expect to see him in the stove room.
The stove room of the staff is much taller than the stove room of the restaurant, and all kinds of pots and pans are readily available.
Ah Fu smiled and narrowed his eyes, he walked up to Ye Jinyan's side and asked, "What do you have to do with him, he actually came to Jia Yuanwai's birthday banquet?" ”
Ye Jinyan was dissatisfied with others asking about her private affairs, which may have been a habit all along, so she showed a disgusted expression, "Get out of the way if it's okay." ”
Ah Fu is not only not angry, but also happier, "I don't care if you and Li Hong have anything, if you follow me, you can eat and drink spicy food every day, and you can do whatever you want." ”
Ye Jinyan retracted her gaze and didn't speak, she was holding a spatula in her hand, and the fire in the stove was rising all the time, the water was boiling, and she was gurgling.
She originally wanted to make the soup of Shuanglong Play Pearl first, but she didn't expect to be delayed by Ah Fu for a long time.
Ye Jinyan knew that he couldn't waste any more time, so he calmed down and said, "Don't you have to cook?" ”
Ah Fu laughed, "Cooking? I don't have to cook in my life, if it weren't for Li Hong's villain saying bad things about me in Jia Yuanwai's ear, I wouldn't be standing here in this capacity. ”
Ye Jinyan only noticed the clothes on his body now, which seemed to be the clothes worn by the people in the Yuanwai Mansion, and these cooks were all wearing uniform white clothes, so it seemed that he was not the one who checked himself?
Ye Jinyan glanced at him, picked up the spatula, stirred the boiling water, and then poured the secret soup and beef, mutton, radish and cabbage into the water one by one.
The water gurgled and burned for a long time, and the smorgasbord inside was slowly cooked, without putting any oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, just boiling with water, and the fragrance diffused out. Of course, sauces aren't just a one-time cook.
Ye Jinyan put a lot of sesame oil and salt, and she didn't salvage the soup until the soup became darker and it was all in one.
Ah Fu saw that Ye Jinyan didn't speak, but turned his back to him and started cooking, and teased: "Your craftsmanship is quite skilled, so won't I be able to eat your dishes when I get married in the future?" ”
Ye Jinyan glanced at him coldly, ignored him, picked up two big white radishes and carved them at a very fast speed.
Ah Fu knew that if this continued, Ye Jinyan would prepare the dishes sooner or later. He didn't go to great lengths to sneak into the foreign mansion to watch Ye Jinyan cook.
He tiptoed to the stove and carefully picked up the soup made by Ye Jinyan.
He thought that Ye Jinyan would not see such a small movement, but he didn't expect that Ye Jinyan would hold his wrist tightly in the next second, and his strength was amazing.
"What are you going to do?" Ye Jinyan's gaze moved from Ah Fu's wrist to his face, and a pair of eyes that trembled like a mouse kept spinning.
"I ...... Seeing that your plate is dirty, I want to help you change it. He shuddered.
This is Jia Yuanwai's mansion, Ah Fu is already a subordinate of Jia Yuanwai's mansion, Ye Jinyan can't argue with him even if he is angry.
Ye Jinyan took back the plate in Ah Fu's hand and said lightly: "The plate is dirty, I will deal with it myself, you better go and see other cooks." ”
The fire became more and more intense, and the other cooks began to put oil and sprinkle seasonings, only Ye Jinyan was simmering slowly over low heat.
The dragon is not the most important, the double dragon play bead is to make a hole in the dragon's body, pour all the soup into the hole, and when eating, as long as you pat the dragon's head, the soup will spit out from the dragon's mouth.
And the beads of the double dragon play beads are to put a thing between the mouths of the two dragons, which plays the role of the finishing touch, and it is also the lifeline to hold the dragon's mouth. Li Hong's design is that only after Jia Yuanwai picks up the beads, the soup in the dragon's mouth can come out.
Ye Jinyan poured the soup into the dragon's mouth, prepared to put it in the water to steam half a stick of incense, and waited for the white jade dragon carved by the radish to be fully cooked before serving it, but the originally boiling water suddenly stopped boiling after being put into the double dragon play bead.
Ye Jinyan looked down and found that the fire was extinguished, and the initiator was Ah Fu, who had been standing next to her.
She walked up to Ah Fu's side, her eyes narrowed slightly, "You ......"
Although Ye Jinyan already knew, Ah Fu still refused to admit it, and he took advantage of his natural thick-skinned advantage to explain: "You don't have enough firewood here, so the fire is extinguished." ”
Ye Jinyan stretched out his hand and patted the dust on his body, and said lightly: "If I don't do it within the specified time, you will be in trouble." ”
Ye Jinyan's aura was a little strong, Ah Fu was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and a pair of thief eyes looked at her cautiously.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone had already prepared the dishes, but Ye Jinyan went wrong.
After the double dragon play beads came out of the pot, it actually became soft, and the dragon made of radish turned into an insect, lying there softly, and the seasonings in it were spilled.
So she screwed up this time? But even if it is smashed, it can't be the case, she calculated the temperature and time, she calculated that half a stick of incense is just enough, during this time the radish is between ripe and unripe, sweet and delicious.
Ye Jinyan turned his head to look at Ah Fu, but saw him slowly moving towards the door, when Ye Jinyan just wanted to stop him, there was a "crackling" outside.
