Chapter Seventy-Nine: Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root accepts an apprentice
"Miss, I don't know what the punishment is?"
Xu Song looked at Qiu Tian nervously, hoping to see a general punishment in her, and the other two also saw Qiu Tian talk about punishment for the first time, so they all held their breath and waited.
Qiu Tian looked at the three of them seriously, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a playful smile, pretending to be deep and said: "Everyone around me is a person who can have it, and they all have a name!" ”
"Vote?!" Xu Song was stunned for a moment, and looked at Angelica and Xiaoshizi suspiciously, but he saw the two of them nodding, "What do subordinates need to do as a vote?" ”
Qiu Tian looked at Xu Song's puzzled appearance and said with a smile: "Do you feel like a bandit?" Need to vote? ”
Suddenly, Xu Song's pupils dilated in shock, "Miss, how do you know what I think?" ”
She smiled disapprerovingly, it was normal to be able to guess who it was, and there was a lady who wanted others to vote, but Qiu Tian knew that people would not gather for no reason.
If there is really a noodle fate and they gather together, it can only be said that it is driven by interests, but once one party fails to meet the interests, they will either break up or die!
And in the 21st century, the result of her experience is the latter.
Therefore, the petition is just a formality, and its real meaning is what is she asking for by taking this person to her side?
If it is all within her control, she can come up with countermeasures, handle it everywhere, and press this risk control danger everywhere.
But if she is outside her range, she will either be expelled or avoided by herself, so as not to get into trouble.
Now Angelica is by her side is that she has inherited Jiang Chaoye's grace and taken the chess pieces carefully cultivated by others, although he must know his every move, but she can also let him know that he is a different existence with her.
In the small kitchen, Xiaoshizi is seeking a place to live and hone his cooking skills, seeking to receive grace and return home as soon as possible. Therefore, everything that Xiaoshizi asks for can be solved in her thoughts, and she only needs to make Xiaoshizi completely loyal to the queen.
As for Xu Song, it's no coincidence! It was she who deliberately "caught" the big fish, just to help the queen build a loyal kitchen, to prevent someone from drugging the queen's meal at a critical moment in the future.
So, she must know what Xu Song wants? If he wants fame and fortune, when he regains his status as a first-class imperial chef, then he will not appear in the kitchen, and he will not have to beg her to keep him.
Therefore, she does not know what medicine he sells in his gourd.
The more ignorant she is, the more she needs to be cautious.
She looked at the anxious Xu Song, and after a long time, she slowly spoke: "This is your punishment and your name - osmanthus glutinous rice lotus!" ”
"Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus?!" Xu Song followed with a chatter, but in the next second, his heart was like ashes, and his face was like dirt.
Xiao Shizi looked at Xu Song's appearance, "Xu Song, you can't do it?" ”
Xu Song gritted his teeth and nodded, "I've never heard of it, let alone done it!" ”
"This ......," Xiaoshizi frowned, "Miss, isn't this embarrassing for you?" ”
"Little pebble, you speak, no one will be dumb for you!" Angelica scolded on the spot, "It's not a little difficult, what do you have to do with your name?" ”
Qiu Tian looked at Xu Song's twisted face and the scene of Angelica and Xiaoshizi arguing with each other, and slowly sat on the chair at the cooking table, crossing Erlang's legs, "Xu Song, are you picking it up?" Or don't pick it up? ”
She saw Xu Song gritting her teeth, hesitated for a long time, and was about to reduce the difficulty, Xu Song spoke: "I want to take it!" But nothing can be done! ”
"Please also ask the young lady to give me some time, and my subordinates will go out of the palace now to find someone who can cook and learn from a teacher!" The only way Xu Song could think of was this, and Qiu Tian raised his eyebrows, "Apprenticeship?!" ”
"Yes!"
"Then what do you use to learn from your teacher?" She was very curious about what good conditions Xu Song would give him to learn from him, Xu Song smiled bitterly, "Ancestral spicy cheats!" ”
"That's all I can get my hands on." Xu Song knew that the dishes he had never eaten in the palace might be available outside the palace, but if someone else came to teach him, he would inevitably have to exchange the ancestral cheats.
"Do you have it on you?"
"Nope! At home! ”
"Are you sure you trade your spicy cheats for that?"
"Yes!"
Qiu Tian raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Kneel!" ”
Xu Song was puzzled, but he still knelt on the ground obediently, "Miss, what is this?" ”
"Follow me!" Qiu Tian was sitting precariously, looking intently at Xu Song, who was full of doubts, "The emperor is above, and the earth is the proof!" ”
Xu Song frowned and read along, "The emperor is above, and the earth is proof of it!" ”
"I, Xu Song, worship Qiu Tian as a teacher today, learn his cooking skills, do my best in my life, spread his cooking skills, and let the food blossom in this continent.
"Miss!?" The three of them were stunned, and even Angelica was envious, "Miss, take in the apprentice!" Xu Song, you are fortunate in three lives! ”
"Xu Song, don't you hurry up!" Xiaoshizi looked at the smirking Xu Song excitedly, and finally he pushed Xu Song, Xu Song eased up, and smirked: "I, Xu Song, worship Qiu Tian as a teacher today, learn his cooking skills, do my best in my life, spread his cooking skills, and let the food bloom in this continent. ”
"Miss......" Xu Song smiled all over his face, showing a silly look, "No, master!" ”
Xiaoshizi hurriedly offered tea, and Xu Song held the tea, "Master!" Please drink tea! ”
"Wait!" Qiu Tian stopped the teacup, "I think you are an apprentice, just for you to learn my cooking skills, but if you use my name to do evil and do not do good things, I will definitely investigate!" ”
"Master, the apprentice will definitely not insult the master and insult the master's reputation." Xu Song knew that he worshipped a master who was good at cooking, and he also knew that his master was not only good at cooking, but also the daughter of a powerful person in Beijing, and his reputation was particularly important and his status was quite high.
If he uses her reputation to do evil, he won't know how he will die at that time.
"Hmm!" Qiu Tian took the hot tea with satisfaction and took a sip gently, "I don't have any apprenticeship gifts for you, I'll give you this osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, how about it?" ”
Xu Song's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed to Qiu Tian three times, "Master Xie!" This is the best gift ever received in vain. ”
"I'm injured, I'll pass it on, you can learn as much as you can!" Qiu Tian touched his faintly painful wound, sighed lightly, Xu Song hurriedly nodded, "The apprentice must be remembered in his heart." ”
"Choose a complete section of winter lotus root, clean it, and wash the lotus root hole to prevent mud residue in the winter lotus! Subsequently, the two inches of the winter lotus root stalk are knifed, and the cut stalk is first retained in water to prevent oxidation and blackening. ”
"Xiaoshizi, I remember telling you to soak some glutinous rice every day, but have you soaked it?" Qiu Tian shouted, and Xiaoshizi immediately brought the soaked glutinous rice elsewhere, "It's ready!" ”
At the same time, Xu Song had already cleaned up the winter lotus root, cut the opening, and waited for Qiu Tian's next step.
She saw that the glutinous rice soaked in the pebble was white and round, and nodded with satisfaction, "Drain the soaked glutinous rice, add two spoons of high-quality brown sugar to it, and make sure that the brown sugar is fully covered in this glutinous rice." ”
She watched Xu Song quickly boil the brown sugar into water, and then pour it into the drained glutinous rice in small amounts and many times, stirring carefully, without any more reminders from her.
"Many people will use white sugar and glutinous rice in this dish, in order to show the cleanliness of the lotus root, but ignore the characteristics of white sugar that will be a little sour once it meets water, so use brown sugar to and glutinous rice, not only to fancy the sweetness of brown sugar, but also to the warm characteristics of brown sugar, which can offset each other with the coldness of winter lotus, and its sweetness can better penetrate into glutinous rice and winter root, so as to achieve three points of flavor."
She didn't wait for Xu Song's question, so she told him the misunderstandings that this dish was very easy to have, so as to avoid him from taking a detour, but if he wanted to take a detour, she didn't mind, after all, people - don't hit the south wall and don't look back!
Hit the south wall more, and you will remember it for a long time in the future.
"Master, it's mixed!" Xu Song exhaled lightly, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and brought the brown sugar glutinous rice to Qiu Tian for inspection, Qiu Tian looked at the glutinous rice evenly dyed red by the brown sugar, and nodded, "Then, use chopsticks to pour this glutinous rice into the hollow of the winter lotus, and after pouring it to about eight minutes, seal the winter lotus root with the method of sealing the winter melon cup!" ”
Xu Song held his breath and carefully poured the brown sugar glutinous rice into the winter lotus root little by little, and inserted it in the direction of the lotus root soup with a small wooden skewer, and finally inserted it into the lotus root body filled with brown sugar glutinous rice.
Qiu Tian looked at the incision of the winter lotus root with a little surprise, even she may not be able to make the incision traces loom like now, if you don't look carefully, you will really mistakenly think that the winter lotus has never been cut.
At this moment, she has to admire Xu Song, the family background of the three generations of imperial chefs, the trained Xu Song already has the posture of a heavenly man, winning at the starting line, this knife work is better than a small stone.
"Master, what's next?"
"This winter lotus root is steamed in a pot for half an hour, and in the process of steaming, three spoonfuls of brown sugar are mixed with a bowl of warm water, and then two seedless red dates are chopped and chopped, and then slowly boiled into a thick pulp over low heat and cooled for later use." She paused, took a sip of tea, and then added: "Then go pick two or three lotus leaves, and come back with a lotus pod!" ”
Verbally teaching Xu Song to cook, it is even more tiring than cooking by himself, I really don't understand how those martial arts dramas are all oral transmission of peerless martial arts?
On this dish, she talked about it with a dry mouth, so if it was a peerless secret book, wouldn't it be ......
She didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly came back to her senses and watched Xiaoshizi leave in a hurry, Xu Song put the winter lotus root into the steaming drawer and boiled the brown syrup on the small pot on the side, and she didn't let herself be idle, rummaging through the top-grade osmanthus nectar she found before on the ingredient rack.
Time flies like a white horse, most of the hours have passed, the fragrance of lotus root in the small kitchen is getting stronger and stronger, Xu Song was about to open the drawer to check his hand, but was stopped by Qiu Tian, "Tell you a story, come here!" ”
