Chapter 318: Glutinous Rice Dates (2)
The two chatted while doing things, and after the glutinous rice dates in the steamer were steamed and served, Wen Mingtang immediately poured the prepared osmanthus nectar syrup, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a sound of salute outside.
"I've seen the second son!" The voice was a little uneven, Wen Mingtang looked up, and only then did he see a few maids who came over to serve cold side dishes to Lin Fei, who was sitting at the stone table drinking tea and reading the book.
There are many unique scenery in the Jingyun Marquis Mansion, but it does not include the kitchen.
In order to facilitate the maids, cooks, and handymen to enter and exit with soup and vegetables, the kitchen will not make any additions here, but only build the wide and smooth road in and out, so that everyone can enter and exit with soup and vegetables.
It is to sweep away the bare piece at a glance with the scenery of this kitchen yard, except for a row of onions and garlic planted in the corner, which is convenient for the chef to take materials nearby.
Lin Fei nodded at the maids, looked at Wen Mingtang and Master Xing, and then said, "Master Wen I invited to take care of one or two." If the guests have any taboos and preferences, they should be reminded in time when they think about it. ”
This excuse...... Wen Mingtang twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but hold his forehead: That's it! It's better than an excuse to come and see the scenery.
didn't break Lin Fei's intentions, Wen Mingtang followed Lin Fei's words and said: "Lin Shaoqing's words have some truth, especially if there are children among the guests, you should pay special attention when cooking!" ”
Lin Fei seemed to be particularly concerned about the Master Xing beside him, and when he looked over, his eyes swept over Master Xing.
Thinking of Master Xing's lack of words, Wen Mingtang didn't say much: Whether it was Master Xing's secret or Lin Fei's intentions, these were not what she should bother with as a cook. What she should have bothered about was that everyone at the table was "soft-hearted" and satisfied with the plate that the other party had just taken away by the maid.
……
The first thing to serve at the banquet is a cold side dish. Master Xing has been coming to Hou's Mansion for a while, and Mrs. Hou has eaten these plates of cold side dishes before, and she knows that the taste of the dishes will not go wrong, except for one - looking at the most dazzling color among several plates of cold side dishes, Mrs. Hou's eyes froze.
The red jujube glutinous rice that is evenly stacked in the plum blossom small plate is red and white, only these two colors are already very catchy, but not only that, a layer of crystal osmanthus nectar is poured on it, the crystal honey is wrapped in a layer of attractive luster for the red jujube glutinous rice, and the golden osmanthus is embellished among them, falling on the white glutinous rice ball, which can be the finishing touch.
I have to say that for children, they may not know how to appreciate the artistic conception of Master Xing's "boat on the lake", but instinctively have a natural affection for such bright colors, soft and glutinous and sweet food.
Seeing that the adults moved quickly, the two children quickly caught the "soft heart" of their appetite.
When he picked up a soft heart, looking at a piece of crystal nectar that was pulled out together, the child instinctively swallowed his saliva, and the sweet taste of the osmanthus nectar he had eaten in the past instantly surged into his heart at this moment, and he couldn't wait to send the soft heart drenched with nectar into his mouth.
It's just that when the "soft heart" is really clamped and sent to the lips, the movements of the two children still can't help but stagnate: there is no other reason, it is too fragrant!
Just far away, I saw the soft red and white bright eyes in my heart, the crystal osmanthus nectar and the golden osmanthus without smelling it. When this "soft-hearted" was sent to the lips, I found that the softness of the heart on the fast son was still a little hot, and the red dates, glutinous rice, and osmanthus came with a rich sweetness, and the liquid that had just been pressed down at the bottom of the tongue involuntarily came out again.
Most children seem to be born with a love for sweets, and these two children are no exception, smelling the sweet and rich taste, and can't wait for the cold food to cool down and can't wait to put it in their mouths.
The sweet jujube meat in plain Japan is more than a layer of unique sweetness of osmanthus because of the honey on the drizzle, which is more abundant than the simple sweetness of jujube meat, rich in not only this sweetness, but also taste, a bite of this glutinous rice jujube, the jujube meat can be easily bitten off, the glutinous rice dumplings in the middle are soft and glutinous with a glutinous rice with its own glutinous strength, not as crisp as biting the jujube meat, but pull out a long "glutinous rice strip", sticky and soft glutinous, between the lips and teeth are full of glutinous rice, red dates and osmanthus sweetness, which makes people have a great appetite.
It is not only children who love to eat "soft-hearted", but also the female roll at the banquet is the same age Mrs. Lu. Red dates are a nourishing blood and qi, which is suitable for women, plus Mrs. Lu is like a vegetarian, a few of these cold food dishes are meat food, she can't touch them, and the rest of the vegetarian dishes are not uneaten, but they are not very interested, but this red date glutinous rice made of snacks, although it looks simple, but it is very appetizing to her, and it is difficult for Mrs. Lu, who does not eat much in vegetarian days, to move twice quickly.
Unconsciously, the "soft-hearted" in a few plates of cold side dishes was the first to see the bottom.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu liked it, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Mrs. Hou's eyes, and she gave a look to the grandmother around her, asking her to write it down, and after the banquet was over, she asked Master Na Wen to make an extra plate of "soft-hearted" to stay.
The dish of "soft heart" is suitable for children, women and the elderly, and Wen Mingtang didn't know that in addition to Mrs. Lu's grandson, an adult man, the rest of the banquet today were children, women and the elderly, which was also a mistake to everyone's appetite.
Prepare an appetizing cold side dish and start preparing a hot dish.
The dishes that can be prepared in advance and cold salad have been taken care of by Chef Xing, that is, hot dishes, such as braised pork meat, which are not in a hurry, are also undertaken by Chef Xing, and the rest are all dishes that need to be grasped and the time when they are out of the pot.
For such dishes, Master Xing, who was wearing bandages, couldn't control the heat in time, so he had to hand it over to Wen Mingtang to cook.
This first dish is the squirrel osmanthus fish, although this dish is a fish dish, it is a rare sweet and sour fish dish, and it is the same as "soft heart", and it is a dish that is quite popular with children.
Wen Mingtang felt that this situation was a little funny: although Mrs. Hou noticed that she was good at cooking Sichuan-Shu style dishes, but now she was invited to cook some sweet and sour dishes, and all the Sichuan-Shu flavor dishes at the banquet were taken care of by Master Xing.
So...... If you go to the city and invite a chef from Jiangnan and other places, she may be better at cooking these dishes than her.
But although it was funny, since he was invited by Lin Fei, he couldn't be sorry for the money he received.
Wen Mingtang lowered his head and cut the oblique knife and straight knife evenly on the fish, so that the fish of the "squirrel" could bloom beautifully after entering the oil pot, and when he caught a glimpse of Master Xing who was marinating the chicken, he thought of a dish set on the menu, Wen Mingtang said: "Master Xing, this dish of spicy chicken needs to be stir-fried and controlled by the heat, do you need me to come?" ”

Chef Xing, who is wearing a bandage and can only move with one hand, is obviously not suitable for this kind of dish.
When Master Clinker Xing heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, I have prepared the ingredients, and I can do it if I have the hands to hold the shovel, Master Wen can rest assured!" ”
Although the tone is polite, the rejection in the words is arbitrarily obvious.
Wen Mingtang didn't force it anymore, but looked out the window and looked down at Lin Fei, who didn't seem to notice the movement here: With his ear power, it's strange that he didn't hear it!
This Master Xing's insistence is really a bit weird, although it is true that he can stir-fry vegetables with his hands, but dishes such as spicy chicken are difficult to cook with one hand.
Looking at Master Xing's pursuit of excellence in everything, he knew that the dishes he made at this time would not be as good as before, but he still insisted on doing so, and he didn't know what it was for.
