Even if he has been degraded to the dust by An Juan's appearance and temperament, Peony is still unwilling to show weakness in front of these backhouse women.

Therefore, she reluctantly stood up and showed a reserved smile: "I just didn't expect that the two guests brought by the eldest young master were born beautiful, and I was a little shocked in my heart." ”

Peony is telling the truth, but there are a few women who have never dealt with her with her hands on their chests, disapproving: "You look ugly, you think that you are as beautiful as a fairy, but we have always been confident, if you are an ordinary person, wouldn't you want to slap your face?" ”

Knowing that their words were just to raise the bar with her, Peony didn't even have the idea of arguing, and glanced at them lazily: "You can think whatever you want." ”

It doesn't matter what they say, but in fact, after the women noticed the performance of Peony, they were also very vigilant.

The Wu family brought a few extremely beautiful guests here, did they want them to live here too?

Even the best-looking peonies are willing to bow down, so can't they directly occupy the entire back house?

The few people who could barely compete with the peony were a little uneasy, but they couldn't think of any way, so they could only walk around the outside of the pavilion repeatedly, trying to find a chance to see the people in the pavilion.

The eldest young man of the Wu family saw them turning around through the curtain, so he personally walked down and asked, "You have been here all along, what are you doing?" ”

Suddenly asked, several people were hesitant and didn't know how to answer.

In the end, a woman reacted and hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Young Master, the weather is hot and humid now, but the water is extremely cool, so we want to row a boat and swim around the lake...... Originally, I was thinking about whether to invite the eldest young master to go with me, but I was worried about disturbing the eldest young master and the guests to chat, so I have been hesitating. ”

Although her reason was forcibly found, the Wu family rarely listened to it and felt that it was quite reasonable.

So he turned around and called Luo Yelin and An Juan: "Son, girl, do you want to come out and row?" The flowers in the middle of the lake are blooming, so it's a great time to enjoy them. ”

Luo Yelin, who was in the pavilion, looked at An Juan and asked for her opinion.

Hearing the word "lotus", An Juan tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly had an inspiration for dinner, so she whispered: "We can go pick two lotus flowers now, and I will make a plate of fried lotus flowers for dinner, with lotus crispy pastries, the taste must be very good." ”

Hearing that An Juan was going to make a new dish, Luo Yelin's eyes lit up.

He raised his voice and replied, "Okay, let's get out right away." ”

Luo Yelin's voice was as warm as spring water, which made people feel relaxed and happy when they heard it, coupled with Peony's praise for the appearance of the two of them just now, almost all the women were ready to move.

After putting the cloak back on, Luo Yelin and An Juan walked out of the pavilion side by side.

As soon as the Wu family ordered, his subordinates quickly prepared the boat, and the three of them boarded the boat in turn, while the boatman carefully shook the oars, letting the boat swim towards the place where the lotus flowers bloomed the most.

When she arrived at the place, An Juan took out a pair of hands from her cloak and leaned over to pick two lotus flowers.

And Luo Yelin also reached out and pulled An Juan's cloak up.

The hands of the two seemed to glow in the sunlight, directly comparing most of the women present.

"It's so white......"

"It's sure to look good!"

"I'm ashamed to be ......"

The whispers of the women rang out one after another, especially after noticing the intimate gesture of the two cloaked men, and everyone almost understood the identities of the two of them, so they did not mention the jealousy or envy in their hearts.

After they swung back and forth on the lake a few times and got off the boat, the Wu family glanced at the sky and looked at An Juan with some flattery: "Miss An, it's not early now, and you should be ready to cook when you see the time...... You see......"

The performance of the Wu family made An Juan can't help but chuckle.

She asked, "Are you ready for the courtyard?" ”

"It's been ready for a long time, right next to it." had been waiting for An Juan's sentence for a long time, and the Wu family hurriedly pointed somewhere.

This courtyard is a courtyard for entertaining VIPs, and it is not only close to the garden, but also very beautifully dressed and styled.

An Juan approached the yard and took a look at the contents of the kitchen, and found that almost all the commonly used vegetables and meats were placed on both sides of the kitchen, and the seasoning was even more dazzling.

After looking around, An Juan set up for tonight's meal.

She glanced at the lotus flower she had brought back and found that it had withered slightly due to dehydration.

So she started a fire, planning to be the first to make fried lotus.

Dissolve the sugar in a small amount of water, then stir together the flour, eggs, and sugar water to form a paste.

Then An Juan walked to the side of the well water, tore off the petals of the two lotus flowers, washed them with light salted water, then controlled the drying, dipped the batter on the surface, and fried them directly in the pan until golden brown, before taking them out and placing them.

Let the next person send this appetizing fried food over first, An Juan looked at the ingredients prepared by the Wu family, and after finding that there was a small pot of milk, his eyes lit up, and he decided to make another crispy fried fresh milk.

She set up a small pot next to her, poured milk, cornstarch and sugar into the pot, and stirred it with a spoon over low heat.

As the temperature rises, the liquid milk, which used to look like a liquid, gradually turns into a milk paste.

When the milk paste kept bubbling, Anwan brought the small pot down.

After soaking the small pot in cold water to cool it, An Juan turned around and found someone and asked them to put the small pot of custard in the ice cellar.

During this waiting time, An Wan found a piece of pork belly, cut the pork belly into thin strips, put it in a large bowl, and then poured in light soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar and starch to marinate.

Then she pulled okra out of the space and cut it diagonally into slices, almost a small plate.

I took the small red pepper, cut it into small pieces, and then cut the ginger and garlic.

After all the processing is done, the pork belly is almost marinated and ready to be cooked.

An Wan puts a little oil in the pot, and when the oil temperature is about 80% hot, pour the marinated pork belly into the pot and stir-fry vigorously over high heat.

When the pork belly is almost cooked, take them out and put them aside.

Then she started the pot again, put the chili, ginger and garlic slices into the pot, and stirred back and forth in a violent "zilala" sound.

About half a minute later, An Juan took the pork belly that had just been fished out of the pot, poured them all into the pot, and then put in the chopped okra, stir-fried over high heat, and did not forget to add salt to taste.

After continuing to stir-fry for a few minutes, the okra sautéed meat is removed from the pan.

Seeing that there was still a lot of oil in the pot next to him, An Ju thought for a while, and felt that he should also take out a few signature dishes of Yuanju Pavilion to entertain the Wu family.

Thinking of this, she went to fetch two chicken thighs with skin, washed them, and removed the bones.

Unlike the usual situation where the whole chicken thigh is put into the pot, this time Anwan chose to shave off the bones and cut the chicken thighs into pieces of about the same size.

Put an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, salt, minced ginger and minced garlic into the chopped chicken pieces, and An Juan reaches out to grasp the chicken pieces well, and then sets them aside to marinate.

At this time, the frozen milk paste was also brought over, and An Juan carefully cut the milk cake into pieces, coated it with egg liquid and starch, and then fried it in the oil pan until the appearance was golden brown, and then fished it out with a colander.

After sending the fried fresh milk to the front, Anwan prepared a bowl of starch and flour mixture, and then beat two more eggs into another small bowl.

Pick out the marinated chicken pieces with chopsticks, first roll them in starch flour, then wrap them in egg wash, fry them in a pan until golden brown, and then remove them.

After all the fried chicken pieces were put into the basin, An Juan burned the fire bigger and fried it again.

There are three people, two men and one woman, these dishes are naturally not enough, An Juan thought for a while, cut a big potato, cut him into shreds and put it in a basin and wash it repeatedly until the color of the water becomes cool and transparent.

Then, An Wan went to the space and rummaged through it, found a few shallots, cut them into small pieces, and patted two garlic and dried chilies, and put them in a small bowl for later use.

First of all, An Juan put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, poured the shredded potatoes into it and blanched it, and waited until the shredded potatoes were slightly transparent, and quickly took out the shredded potatoes in the pot to control drying.

Then she discarded the water, re-added the appropriate amount of vegetable oil, and when it was almost 60% hot, she added chili peppers and garlic to the pot and stir-fried until fragrant.

Immediately after, An Wan put the drained shredded potatoes in the pot, and then stir-fried on high heat for 15 seconds.

At this time, the shredded potatoes have been thoroughly cooked, An Wan put an appropriate amount of salt and vinegar in it, stir-fried it twice, put in the shallots, and then served it on a plate.

After probably recalling the number of dishes, Anwan decided to make a cake at the end.

But when she used to eat vegetables, she had to make some staples.

After thinking about it for a while, An Juan plans to make a plate of scallion pancakes, which can be eaten alone or with side dishes, which is a very good choice.

After finishing the noodles, An Juan spreads the dough cakes, brushes the dough with a layer of oil, and then sprinkles with a little chopped green onion and an appropriate amount of salt.

After laying the first layer, An Juan took a large piece of dough, covered it with this layer of dough, and continued to brush it with oil, sprinkle with chopped green onions and salt.

If it is repeated four or five times, the cake changes from thin to thick, and An Juan rolls it out with a rolling pin to turn it into a thin cake again, and you can vaguely see the green onion floating in the dough.

Cook the scallion pancake over low heat, and Ann Juan gestured it, cut it into neat pieces, and put it on a plate, which looks pleasing to the eye and makes people move their fingers.

The spices for the cake were ready, and then she put them aside, washed her hands, and planned to go to eat first.

When she got to the dinner table, she found that the Wu family and Luo Yelin had not moved their chopsticks, waiting for her to come over.

Seeing that An Juan was in place, dinner began.

As soon as he put the first bite of food in his mouth, the Wu family began to praise An Juan's craftsmanship.

When I heard that the dishes made by An Juan were peerless and delicious, although I also wanted to taste them, the Wu family felt that this was the public's praise of beauty.
