Chapter 283: Potato Feast

Yu Xiaocao took a spatula to him, held a potato in his left hand and a spatula in his right hand, and after showing it to him, he said with a smile: "That's it, scrape the potato skin, and the potato dinner at noon depends on you!" ”

The Liu family, who came to see if they wanted to help, saw it and exclaimed in surprise: "You kid, how can you let the prince of the county work?" ”

What made Manager Liu's jaw drop was that his master didn't say a word, the scraper in his hand flew over, and he shaved a big potato smooth and slippery in a while, and he also showed the little girl of the Yu family with a proud face: "Look! I shave much faster than you! What is your little clumsy hand for holding a knife? Just take a sauté spoon! ”

Manager Liu covered his face: My grandfather, what is there to show off with a knife for scraping potatoes? However, he was still relieved and happy that his master was able to show a childlike side. The little girl of the Yu family used her innocence and sincerity to make the master feel relaxed wholeheartedly, and even her temperament was much more easy-going.

His Royal Highness King Jing also discovered this, and specially called himself to the study to ask the master if anything special had happened in Dongshan Village. When His Royal Highness King Jing knew that the change of master was because of a small peasant girl, and it was a little peasant girl who was only ten years old, he shook his head with tears and laughter, and said, "Fate! Maybe Yang'er is the youngest in the family and has no younger siblings, so she treats that little girl as a weak object to protect, right? ”

When Manager Liu walked out of the study, he heard His Royal Highness King Jing whisper to himself: "Hmm...... Meijuan (King Jing's affectionate name for Princess Jing) is in good health, is it time to add a younger brother and sister to Yang'er? ”

Mr. Liu almost tripped over his own heel. Did the master change just because Miss Yu was younger than him and needed protection? Among the girls brought by the ladies in Beijing, there are many girls who are smaller than the master, why don't you see the master giving people a more look? Last time, Dali Siqing's ten-year-old little daughter saw the master and wanted to come over, but she was scared by the master's eyes and cried.

Compared with those girls in Beijing who claim to be famous ladies, always hold the shelf, and have a mask-like smile on their faces, the girls of the Yu family have the innocence, naturalness, sincerity, and kindness that they lack! Maybe what the master wants to get close to is the quality that Miss Yu exudes, right?

Manager Liu put away his thoughts and stepped forward to take the potatoes in the master's hand, but was dodged by Zhu Junyang.

Zhu Junyang's action of peeling potatoes in his hand became more skillful, he pointed to a large pot of potatoes brought by Yu Xiaocao, and said to Mr. Liu: "Don't rob the master, you want to practice your hands, there are a lot of potatoes over there!" ”

Manager Liu suddenly burst into tears on his cheeks: My lord! The old slave wanted you to be liberated from the labor of peeling potatoes, but I didn't expect you to appreciate it and pull the old slave in!

Pick up a potato in resignation, since the master can do this, what else does the slave say? Manager Liu worked hard to peel the potatoes, and if he had one more master, he would do less work.

Yu Xiaocao poked her head out of the kitchen and glanced at the guards who were in a row like a pillar at the gate of the courtyard, and she shouted at the little county king timidly: "Little county king, your subordinates are idle, why don't you sit down and help us rub the corn!" You see, not only in this yard, but also in the yard next door, there is corn drying in it. In the past few days, taking advantage of the good weather, the corn has been rubbed out and dried thoroughly, so that it can be stored in a bag as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Junyang glared at Yu Xiaocao, who was inch by inch, and beckoned in the direction of the courtyard gate. Wu Deshun, the leader of the guards, walked over with his head held high, waiting for his master's orders.

"Call your brothers over and see how they rub the corn. It's hard to get back the corn, so don't make any mistakes. Hurry up! Zhu Junyang commanded without changing his face.

Wu Deshun secretly glanced at the potato peeled in the master's hand, and said in his heart: The master has been called to work, and they can still be idle. Don't say anything, rub the corn!

When Yu Xiaocao poked his head out of the kitchen again, there were more than a dozen guards sitting in the yard, their hands were strong, rubbing the corn, only to hear the corn kernels falling down the brush. Yu Xiaocao smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and shouted into the yard:

"Fellow guards, big brothers, have worked hard! I'm going to give you extra food at noon! Xiaoshi, you go to Uncle Li's house in the next village to cut some five catties of pork belly and ten catties of ribs and come back. Xiao Fangping, you go to Aunt Zhou's house to buy five little roosters and let your brother help kill them! ”

After the two little ones got the order, they put down the corn in their hands. Little Stone ran into the house and took the silver, gave the little cousin a dime of broken silver, and then went their separate ways.

Among the guards, Wu Deshun and the other two guards had come to Dongshan Village, and knew that the little girl of the Yu family had good cooking skills, which were more authentic than many famous restaurants in the capital, so he smiled and said to the brothers: "Brothers, work hard, there is delicious food at noon!" ”

The other guards didn't think so, wasn't it just pork belly, ribs, and chicken? These are not eaten at home, no matter how delicious the farmhouse food is, where can it be delicious?

When the enticing smell wafted from the kitchen, the guards were not calm, the corn in their hands kept rubbing, but their heads were in the direction of the kitchen, their eyes staring motionlessly, and they swallowed from time to time.

Wu Deshun looked at these unproductive subordinates, shook his head with a smile, and freed up one hand to touch his stomach, it was too fragrant! Hook him in the stomach and rebel!

Time seems to be pulling its tail behind it, slowly slipping away. Waiting, waiting, waiting, finally looking forward to lunch time. The Yu family took out stools and planks, set up a simple dining table under the shed built for rubbing corn, and borrowed chairs and stools from neighbors. More than a dozen guards, plus more than a dozen people from the Yu family, the scene was like a flowing water banquet, which was quite spectacular.

The guards sat in rows, their eyes eagerly in the direction of the kitchen. It's time to serve!

Sure enough, it's a potato feast! Braised potatoes, pan-fried baby potatoes, cumin baked potatoes, green pepper tomato potato chips, potato roasted pork ribs, potato braised pork, potato meat slices, sour and hot shredded potatoes, dry pot potato chips, shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs...... There are also children's favorite fries, chips and mashed potatoes, served with homemade tomato sauce. Even staple foods are made with potatoes, such as pan-fried hash browns, potato omelettes, and baked potato shortbread – what a potato feast!

Although they are all home-cooked dishes, after all, potatoes are new and delicious. The guards shook off their cheeks and ate so much that they couldn't stop!

Grandpa and aunt's family stayed at the same table with the little king, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, let alone eat. Yu Xiaocao thoughtfully opened a table for them in the west courtyard house and brought the dishes over.

The Yu family is used to eating at the same table with the prince of the county. Don't look at the prince of the county, he usually doesn't like to laugh, he is really good, there is no shelf, and there are not so many rules.

"Little Junwang, you try the second sister's fried fries, dipped in tomato sauce and eaten, sweet and sour on the outside and tender on the inside, it's delicious!" Xiao Shi took the French fries that the second sister specially placed in front of him and let King Yangjun taste them.

Zhu Junyang gave a lot of face, dipped it in some tomato sauce, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then nodded slowly in Xiaoshi's expectant gaze, and said, "Well, it's delicious!" ”

Xiao Shi suddenly seemed to have an ally, and said with a smile: "If it's delicious, you can eat more!" My second sister's craftsmanship can make a different feeling no matter what! ”

Zhu Junyang took a bite of fried small potatoes, the freshly fried small potatoes were crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, retaining the purest fresh fragrance of the potatoes, the aroma was tangy, and when he took a bite, the dense taste melted in his mouth, which was indeed a simple and good taste that was difficult to give up.

"Little rock, you can't just eat fries and potato chips, those can only be eaten as snacks, if you want to grow like the big and tall guards brothers, you have to eat!" Yu Xiaocao saw that the little brother was holding the fries, eating them sweetly one by one, and couldn't help but remind.

Xiao Shi nodded obediently and said, "I'll eat the last one...... Second sister, when the academy resumes school, can you bring me some fries and potato chips? Little Fat Man, Brother Jin Hui and Situ must have never eaten these, I want them to try them too! ”

Yu Xiaocao glanced at Xiao Junwang and said to Xiao Shi, "Of course you can!" However, you have to explain to your friends that the potatoes we eat are potatoes that were injured during harvest and cannot be used as seeds! ”

Zhu Junyang thanked her and said, "Don't be so careful!" A thousand pounds of potatoes, you can still call the shots for you! It stands to reason that these potatoes and corn were grown by your family, and the ownership belongs to you. When I gave you the seeds, I made it very clear, and after planting them, the imperial court bought them at the price. What price do you negotiate? ”

The Yu family is very authentic, and Zhu Junyang is not worried that they will set a sky-high price. Well! These potatoes taste really good, and the cooking method is simple, if it is popularized, ordinary people can also learn it!

Zhu Junyang's mouth didn't stop, and he didn't forget to say to Yu Xiaocao: "You sort out the cooking method of potatoes, it's best to write it into a booklet, and take it with you when you return to Beijing next time!" ”

Yu Xiaocao twittered crookedly: "Little Junwang, as soon as you touch your mouth, you confiscate my recipe?" Don't give some benefits or something? When the Emperor Taishang paid a private visit, he bought the marinated method of my pig's head meat, but it cost three hundred taels of silver! The recipe for the roast chicken and roast duck I sold to Zhen Yulou is a steady stream of money for our family...... Oh, mother, why are you beating me? ”

Liu Shi looked at the face of the little county king, pretended to pat the little daughter again, and said, "You kid, you are in the eyes of money?" The prince of the county and the emperor brought these high-yield corn and potatoes so that our people could have a full stomach. You're good, you did a little favor, and you want benefits, are you ashamed! ”
