Chapter 14 Preliminary Preparations (II)
Gu Min asked the gourd to bring lotus root, parsley, toon, and Zhu Pozi to make noodles together.
I have to say that there are still some benefits to letting the gourd help Su Lan pick people, like parsley and toon, although the female is popular, but, according to the gourd, they are the eldest in the family.
In ancient times, the eldest daughter represented hardships and hard work, and could go to the kitchen and the thatched house, and when her parents went to work in the house, all the work in the family was done by the eldest daughter.
Compared with taking care of the few little ones in the family, the life of Yiyuan now is simply a heavenly existence for them.
Therefore, the two of them don't say anything about this kind of supernumerary work.
The five of them kneaded the dough together, and the speed was still quite fast, and when Gu Min passed, they had already kneaded it and put it in a basin, covered it with a broken quilt, and were waking up.
Tomorrow, when the Su family comes, they will definitely bring one or two waiters, and when the time comes, those who are waiting will eat some steamed buns or something, but I don't know what their appetite is, more and more, it won't go wrong.
Even if there are too many, the people in our yard can still eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and now that the weather is cold, it won't be bad for a few days.
Therefore, Gu Min let the gourd send ten catties of noodles, knead it and wake it up, wait for tomorrow morning, the flour will rise well, add alkali to knead, and then wrap it and steam it again.
Now a few people are busy preparing the stuffing.
The bun filling is mainly salty and sweet, sweet bean paste filling, sesame sugar filling, and one is a hundred fruit filling, which is a combination of bean paste and sesame sugar, and there are more materials in it.
Not only red and green silk, cracked walnuts, pine nuts, but also raisins and goji berries.
Strictly speaking, the filling of 100 fruits is put in a small steamer for the Su family and the Wu family to taste at that time.
As for the sesame sugar and bean paste, they were for the people they were waiting for.
The salty ones are made of pork, fungus, edamame, dried fragrant mushrooms, diced winter bamboo shoots, green onions, and dried scallops, and I also told the gourd to prepare white flour steamed buns and flower rolls.
It should be said that Gu Min has done a lot of preparation for tomorrow's barbecue.
There should be more variety, and the amount can be relatively small, like a buffet.
"Hulu, the heavy responsibility of the rear will be handed over to you tomorrow." Gu Min patted Hulu's shoulder and said.
Early in the morning, everyone in Yiyuan, including Gu Min, was busy, and at the end of the morning, the gourd toon and parsley got up to make steamed buns.
Gu Min's distribution ratio is that one catty is made of fried buns, two catties are made of hundred fruits, bean paste, pork buns, and the other seven catties are made of knife-cut steamed buns and flower rolls.
On the one hand, the appetite of the master is generally very thin, and it is estimated that so many masters add up, and two catties of buns may not be able to be eaten.
In addition, the relative time of knife-cut steamed buns and flower rolls can also be longer, and you can eat them slowly.
As for the beef bone soup that has been boiled since yesterday, it has also been boiled, and when the time comes, those mothers-in-law who are waiting for it can also be served with steamed buns with flower rolls in beef bone soup.
Gu Min was afraid that the Su family would eat it when the time came, and they also prepared sour plum soup and rose dew, depending on how the two of them chose.
There are fruits in the winter, but Gu Min's standard is relatively low, and he can't get them from the big kitchen at all, so Gu Min thought about it and discussed with Hulu Sulan, let's add more to the dessert.
For example, there are five or six varieties of desserts, such as wine-stuffed balls, jujube cakes, yogurt cheese, etc., and there are always some of them that they like.
By the time the time came, the preliminary preparations were basically completed.
The beef leg sent by Fu Jin, and the lamb leg and pork leg sent by Li were also almost processed.
Among them, the pork leg was brought over by Gu Min yesterday, and he wanted to make buns, where can there be no pork.
As for the beef shank and lamb shank, it will be freshly cut and roasted.
I have to say that Sifujin's shot and others' shots immediately saw the difference.
At the same time as people sent beef legs, they also specially matched a cook, although this chef is quite young, a twenty-year-old girl, surnamed Pan, with a big braid, but he is a professional, much stronger than amateurs like Hulu and Gu Min.
Under the leadership of Chef Pan, Mrs. Zhu, Parsley, and Toon arranged the barbecue venue very neatly.
Originally, Gu Min thought that it would be too cold to bake in the gazebo, and then Su Lan thought of a way, first using a screen to enclose the gazebo, then hanging a thick curtain on the gazebo, and then putting a few carbon stoves around the gazebo.
Gu Min went in and took a look, the warmth is warm, that is, three or four masters, plus three or four minions, this pavilion is too crowded, and it is easy to lose air circulation.
The smell of rouge from a dozen women, coupled with the smoke of oil smoke, is so bad and smelly.
But if you take away the screen and the curtain, it's too cold.
Gu Min is not afraid of exercising every day, but he is afraid that the Su family and the Wu family will catch a cold by then, and his sin will be great.
Therefore, Gu Min didn't dare to take this risk, and nodded in agreement with Su Lan's suggestion.
And what Chef Pan means is that anyway, it is sunny today, and it is completely possible for her to take a few girls to bake outside the pavilion, and the masters can sit in the pavilion.
As for the screen, just put it, the thick curtain can be replaced with light yarn, and the masters can chat and look at the scenery outside.
Although Gu Min's Yiyuan doesn't have any beautiful scenery, it's better than sitting in a thick cloth curtain, right?
Add a few to the charcoal stove, prepare the hand stove, and each person has drunk the beef bone cumin soup first, in the words of Chef Pan, that is not a big problem.
It's really not good, when the time comes, before they leave, she will send a few more people a bowl of ginger and red date soup.
When Gu Min heard it, he felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed, and a few people in Yiyuan began to arrange it again.
Fortunately, it's still early, and it's still in time.
And Gu Min also asked Su Lan to record this on a notepad, and the day before this kind of dinner in the future, ask a professional to take a look at it first, and if it is not qualified, then rearrange it, so as to save it as busy as a dog today.
The Su clan came the earliest, and the Wu clan hadn't arrived yet, so she and Gu Min sat in the living room chatting nonsense.
There is also a reason why Su Shi came so early, she mainly wanted to take advantage of the lack of people and ask about something.
She thinks that the Gu family should not be such a wooden person, but sometimes there are many people, and she is embarrassed to speak, probably because of the temper cultivated in the palace.
Therefore, she came earlier, first livened up the atmosphere, and it was easier to inquire about some things when the time came.
Today, Gu Min specially decorated the living room, and several vases were originally bare.
Gu Min wanted to insert plum blossoms and improve the taste of the lower living room, after all, literati and talented women all like the four gentlemen.
It's just that plum blossoms grow in the garden, and now the garden is not accessible to everyone, so she can only retreat to the next best thing and make flowers with paper herself.
