When he went down the mountain, looking at the "Golden Peanuts", "Golden Bamboo", and "Golden Wolf Hair" received in his palm, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but sigh: "Celebrities are celebrities, so big...... Uh, tasteful! ”

Lin Fei, who was walking aside, glanced at her and couldn't break her: "The two words you just wanted to say but didn't finish are 'generous'!" ”

Gifts such as "bamboo" and "wolf's hair" are indeed elegant, but they are real "gold", and each of them is naturally valuable! Who doesn't like this?

Wen Mingtang, who was punctured, didn't care, and said frankly with a smile when he heard this: "What Lin Shaoqing said is true!" I do think that these old friends of Yu Sacrifice Wine are the same as Yu Sacrifice Wine, and they are really generous and free! ”

"No matter how much money is not in accidents, and money is outside the body, these celebrities will not be short of money." When Lin Fei heard this, he said vigorously, "Now that you are famous all over the world, you can take a word and a painting at hand, and the money you earn from lectures in one place for a period of time is worth your salary in the public kitchen for a few years." ”

This is not a lie! Wen Mingtang put the "Golden Bamboo" and the "Golden Wolf Hair" into the purse he carried with him, and said: "But our chef's take-out business is doing well, Ji Cai has settled the account, and the money I can get from take-out is much higher than the salary!" ”

In this way, the speed of saving money can also be accelerated! Maybe a few years later, she really fulfilled her dream of buying a house in Chang'an City!

Seeing Wen Mingtang carefully put the silver money into his purse, Lin Fei looked at it for a moment and then withdrew his gaze.

……

……

After a trip to Lishan and back to Dali Temple, I had to start preparing for the chef's three meals a day.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Zhuangzi has also begun to send chestnuts, a seasonal item after autumn, to the public kitchen.

However, when the chestnuts were sent, they were not bought by Ji Cai as the main dish, but were stacked in the back kitchen at random, and said to Wen Mingtang: "Every year in autumn, chestnuts, water chestnuts and water chestnuts overflow on the Zhuangzi, and it is a waste if you can't eat them. ”

Chestnut and water chestnut are not unpalatable when boiled in water, but they are delicious...... It's the smell of boiling every year, and it's a little greasy, but it's still good to fill your hunger when you're hungry!

Ji Caimai didn't care about the stack of chestnuts like a small mountain, but Wen Mingtang's eyes lit up: in today's Darong, the method of chestnuts seems to be only boiled, and even when she is in the palace, in addition to boiling, she only sees the imperial chef take out the meat of the boiled chestnuts and add sugar and oil to make the filling of the pastry, but in addition, I have never seen other methods.

What are the ways to make chestnuts? Wen Mingtang has been holding back in the palace for a long time, but because he is in the palace, there are many rules, and it is not good to mess with her.

Now that he is a legitimate chef of Dali Temple, without the constraints of rules, Wen Mingtang is naturally no longer ready to eat the boiled and pastries that he has been tired of eating in recent years.

After hearing what Ji Caimai said, Wen Mingtang immediately said: "This chestnut will not be boiled this year, I want to use it to make a snack and a dish!" ”

Ji Caimai, who was about to leave after explaining to Wen Mingtang, immediately understood what she meant, he stopped, glanced at Wen Mingtang meaningfully, and nodded: "Then I should have taken it orally, and try your new method first." If it's good, then go to the take-out stall with the braised duck goods to make regular offerings. ”

Originally, Ji Caimai only wanted to wait until he tasted it to see if it was feasible, but in the afternoon, when the sweet aroma of chestnuts spread, before he could taste it, Ji Caimai knew that this fragrance was so domineering, and it must be a hot item called fried chestnuts with sugar.

Sure enough, when he came out of the house and rushed to the kitchen yard, there were already a lot of smelling "gluttonous insects" in the yard.

Looking through the crowd, I saw that in the cauldron in the middle, Ah Bing was holding a big shovel, stir-frying the chestnuts with flowers on the surface of the shell and the black coarse sand.

The fragrance that I smelled in the house just now was even stronger when I got closer, and the rich aroma of chestnuts came out of the big iron pot that was fried, and the hook couldn't help but come over to take a look.

Before Ji Caimai walked in front of him, he heard someone asking.

"It's the first time I've seen chestnuts use this method, what's this snack called?"

"Sugar-fried chestnuts!" Wen Mingtang, who was pointing Ah Bing to stir-fry the chestnuts, said, took out a few from the large plate of sugar-fried chestnuts that had been fried in front of him, and tasted them one by one with everyone, and said, "Come and try it!" ”

Autumn chestnuts are common, but this method of frying them is really fresh.

Someone took the sugar-fried chestnuts handed by Wen Mingtang and said with emotion: "This is really the most fragrant chestnut smell I have ever smelled in my life!" ”

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he smiled and said, "Then taste the taste of this fried chestnut again, which is worthy of this fragrance!" ”

The chestnuts in the hand have become dark brown after being fried, and the syrup and oil have dyed the chestnuts with a layer of shiny luster in the continuous stir-frying, and the sweet aroma of the fried chestnuts has gone straight to the nose, and the index finger of the hooker is moving. The fried chestnut skin is crispy and easy to peel, and with a little force along the "cross" opening that has already been cut, it can be easily peeled off, revealing the brownish-yellow chestnut flesh inside.

When the men saw the servant put the chestnut in his mouth, their eyes immediately narrowed.

Such a pleasant expression, needless to say, is enough to prove that the taste of this chestnut is not inferior to this seductive fragrance.

Seeing this, everyone who had a taste of the chestnuts peeled off their shells and sent them to their mouths, and then, the sound of gossip and emotion rang out.

"Really...... Gee! Fragrant and glutinous! ”

"The fragrance is sweet, but it is different from the chestnut meat with sugar and oil in the chestnut cake, and it seems to be more fragrant!"

"Delicious! I didn't like sweets very much, but this sweetness tastes different from ordinary sugar, and it seems to be ......so fragrant."

……

"That's called caramel!" Wen Mingtang smiled, and replied to everyone's words without a word, "The caramel fragrance is fried into the chestnuts, which is different from ordinary boiled chestnuts in sugar water!" ”

Ji Caimai, who had been standing behind the crowd for a while, couldn't hold it back, and took advantage of the gap when everyone was tasting chestnuts and the crowd was loose, and squeezed to the front, while taking a chestnut from the plate in front of Wen Mingtang and peeling it off and sending it to his mouth, he said, "This thing is a snack, and when it comes to dusk, one person will give one to taste, now...... Let's go back first! ”

There are errands, miscellaneous servants, and porters around in front of you, and now it's still time to do things, so it's not good to attract a lot of people to not do things, and it's always not good to come and steal food when they smell it!

As soon as these words came out, the crowd in front of them, who was about to gather and ask Wen Mingtang for a chestnut tasting, loosened and dispersed: they also knew that this was not good! But if you want to blame Master Wen, the sugar-fried chestnuts are really too fragrant, how can people bear it?

The emotional officer heard that he was about to do that
