Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 72 Taishou Banquet Guest 1
Wu Yong didn't expect that it was just a bean food practice, which involved such a complicated matter. But no matter what, it can't change his itinerary to go to Taishou Mansion tomorrow to make bean food.
Therefore, he quickly finished eating the food brought by the Li family, and waited for Zhuo Wenxuan and the three of them to express their feelings, and then offered to leave.
Zhuo Wenxuan saw that it was getting late, so he waved his hand to signal that he could leave.
After Wu Yong saluted, he just wanted to turn around, but suddenly remembered that he would go to Taishou Mansion tomorrow not only to make bean food, but also to make a pig banquet, so he said again: "Tomorrow, we need two butchers who kill pigs to go to the pig banquet with their nephews." ”
Zhuo Wenxuan waved his hand, "You go home first, don't let your grandmother wait." I will arrange for Li Zhong to inform you that the two uncles will go with you early tomorrow morning, and now they are the best at killing pigs. ”
When Wu Yong returned home, he naturally had a cold and warm meal, and when he heard that he was going to Taishou Mansion for a banquet the next day, the grandmother of the Wu family asked him to go to rest quickly.
, nothing happened overnight, early the next morning, Wu Yong led the two uncles Ren to the Taishou Mansion, but saw the scene that stunned him, at this time there were three big fat pigs in the backyard!
Zhang Yang looked at Wu Yong and couldn't help laughing: "Lord Taishou originally only prepared one pig, and the remaining two pigs were brought by the little marquis of Anzhong." ”
Wu Yong rolled his eyes, and secretly said that this little marquis is really good at finding trouble for himself, but fortunately, he invited two helpers today, but he didn't need to do it, so he asked, "How many people have been invited to the banquet today?" ”
He had to ask how many people there were and how many dishes he would arrange.
"Lord Fujun sent someone to send a message to each family yesterday, if there is no mistake, there are about 100 people, and on the other side of the female family, there are almost 100 people."
Wu Yong thought for a while, and then asked, "Is the banquet used by the guests today, or is it the previous low case?" ”
When Zhang Yang heard this, he praised and said: "Xiao Langjun is really careful, this can be imagined, today's Fujun intends to make these powerful gentry increase their knowledge, so he asked people to make thirty sets of tables and stools overnight. ”
Wu Yong knew in his heart, so he would cook according to the thirty tables. However, he also needs to look at the ingredients prepared by the Taishou Mansion to determine the next dishes.
So he asked again: "What ingredients have we prepared in Taishoufu?" There are only four pots and stoves in the kitchen, which seems to be a bit insufficient! ”
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Yesterday, in order to boil soybean milk, two stoves were built separately, and two new stoves were also built in order to kill pigs. ”
Wu Yong nodded and smiled: "There are so many stoves, I can't use them alone." ”
"How can I let you work alone, there are six cooks in the Taishou Mansion, and they can all help."
Then Zhang Yang hesitated a little and said: "The little marquis of An Zhong also sent the eight cooks in his house over, saying that they would follow Xiao Langjun to learn to cook." ”
Wu Yong smiled: "Okay, I'm worried about the lack of manpower!" ”
While talking, Cen Sheng led a group of people in, and when he saw Wu Yong, he introduced: "They are the cooks in Liu Zongzheng's mansion, and they came to learn to cook with Xiao Langjun." ”
When Wu Yong saw it, there were eight people again. These people can't refuse, so stay there.
The cook's matter was solved, Wu Yong thought for a while, and said: "I'm going to take a look at those ingredients, some ingredients have to be cut and set aside first, otherwise they will be cut and made now, and they won't be able to catch up." If the two adults have something to do, they can go ahead and get busy. ”
"It's okay, it just so happens that there are still a lot of things to do in front of me, I may not have time to help in the back kitchen, so let Xianqing stay and help you take care of it, Taishou Mansion is not as good as you are at home, and there are more rules."
Then Cen Sheng advised: "You have to behave well today, otherwise you will lose the face of Lord Fujun, and we will all have to eat and hang." ”
"Haven't the two adults already tasted it, don't you still believe in the boy's craftsmanship?" Wu Yong said with a smile.
Cen Sheng nodded and left in a hurry.
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I'll take you to see the ingredients, Lord Fujun asked me to listen to your orders today, but if you say it first, don't arrange for me to cook, I've never been busy in the kitchen." ”
"How dare you let the adults do it, it's enough to have all the cooks. Today, I specially brought two uncles to come and kill pigs. Wu Yong said with a smile.
"Haha...... Okay, I'll wait for your orders. Zhang Yang smiled heartily.
As he spoke, Wu Yong followed Zhang Yang to the place where the ingredients were stacked, and many maidservants were doing cleaning work at this time.
Wu Yong checked, this season, there are not many green vegetables that can be eaten, except for the radishes, lotus roots, and cabbage (cabbage) that are not easy to rot and deteriorate, and the rest are dried vegetables and pickled pickles that are dried on weekdays.
As for fresh vegetables, such as celery, garlic sprouts, gourds, shallots, leeks, etc., these are all hard to find, and they are all cultivated in small quantities by large households using homemade greenhouses.
However, there is no shortage of these green vegetables. And today's protagonists are pig feasts and bean food, and the others are green vegetables and supporting roles.
After thinking for a while, Wu Yong found four cooks and asked them to clean the ingredients, the slices that should be sliced, the shredded shreds, which green vegetables need to be hot, which dried vegetables need to be soaked, and they should be packed separately after they are done.
After giving instructions here, Wu Yong came to the tofu shop again to see how the situation was here.
Looking at the mountains of tofu and dried tofu, as well as pots of tofu skin and bean curd, Wu Yong nodded with satisfaction.
Next, Wu Yong came to the place where the pig was killed, and saw the two uncles Ren arguing with someone, so he hurriedly walked over and asked what was going on?
"Wu Yong, you are here." Ren Laosan walked up to Wu Yong and said angrily, "These people don't let us kill pigs, saying that we are from the countryside, and the technology of killing pigs is definitely not good." ”
"Hmm." After Wu Yong responded, he said to the few people in front of him: "Everyone must be thinking whose child this is, it's too naughty, and the pig killing is also here to join in the fun." ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were shocked, and they said in their hearts: "How does he know? ”
Wu Yong looked at their expressions, smiled slightly, and said, "I was thinking that you must be asking me in your hearts now how I know what you are thinking." It's simple, because I'm standing here so abruptly and completely unrealistic. ”
Then his face changed and he said: "My name is Wu Yong, Wancheng Fuwangli people's clan, these two are my uncles." Today's banquet in the Taishou Mansion must be arranged by me, you people are all working on my two uncles today, if anyone is not convinced, stand up now, you can go out. ”
Wu Yong was a little annoyed, he hated these guys who looked down on people the most in his life. Relying on his own status, he demeanes and looks down on others.
Butchers, you look at me, I look at you, but no one comes forward.
"Since you are not leaving, then listen to the arrangements of my two uncles. If someone makes a small move in the future and delays the feast, you should know the consequences. Wu Yong said very blandly.
Zhang Yang also stood up at this time and reprimanded loudly: "You really don't know the height of the sky, and you dare to make trouble at this time, delaying the major affairs of Lord Fujun, and you will be sent to the frontier." ”
Wu Yong looked at them and said unhurriedly: "Don't feel that you are wronged and unfair, when you see my two uncles killing pigs, you still have to thank them." When it comes to pig killing technology, I dare say that today it has not surpassed theirs. ”
At this time, Ren Laosan smiled embarrassedly, "Wu Yong, don't bury your two uncles, you still taught us pig killing techniques." ”
Wu Yong smiled, "I'm just theoretically killing pigs, but I don't dare to do it, the two uncles are the real material." ”
Then he bowed his hand to the two of them, "I'll leave it to the two uncles here, kill the pig as soon as possible, and deal with the blood sausage, internal organs, and pig head, I will use it later." ”
"You can rest assured, just leave it to us." Ren Laosan responded.
Wu Yong nodded and turned to leave, and Zhang Yang hurriedly followed.
When the two left, many butchers surrounded and kept apologizing, they only heard about the handling of pig offal, and they felt that Ren Laosan's pig killing skills were not comparable to them.
Because they kill pigs, the pig's head and pig offal are thrown away, if they learn how to deal with the offal, they can kill the pig for others in the future, and put away these offal, which is enough for them to make a small fortune.
At the moment, I didn't care about the fact that I looked down on Ren Laosan and the two of them were countrymen, and they apologized and complimented one after another.
"Two, we were wrong, you adults don't remember villains, just teach us to kill pigs, in the future in Wancheng to kill pigs, we are the only two horse heads."
They are all adults, they are very open-minded, what is face, and learning the real ability is the foundation of life.
After Wu Yong left here, he let Zhang Yang lead him to the twelve stoves behind the kitchen, at this time, in order to make full use of the heat, the stoves were built with two stoves, and the ten stoves were divided into three places, each with four pots and stoves, the stoves were square, the pots and stoves were opposite each other, and the places where the fire was burned were on the other side.
At this time, there was a cook standing on each stove, and they were chatting while cleaning their stoves.
"You say we've been cooking for half a lifetime, but in the end we have to learn how to cook from a little doll, which sounds a little funny."
"No, how do you learn to cook, isn't it just a matter of putting the ingredients in the pot and boiling on the fire. I don't know what the little marquis thinks, and he said that if he can't learn, he won't go back to the Hou Mansion. ”
"I heard that the food is passed down from the Taixu Immortal Realm, and our county lord has also missed it after eating it. As you know, our county lord is notoriously pure-hearted, and the food that can make her remember is probably extraordinary. ”
"Yes, you should be content, how many people want to come to learn, but they can't find a way. We made a big bargain today. ”
Seeing Zhang Yang leading Wu Yong over, the cooks hurriedly stood up, looked at Wu Yong with some surprise, and said in their hearts: "Don't hear what we said, drive us out." ”
Wu Yong saw that these cooks were a little restrained, and said with a slight smile: "Aunts, I am Wu Yong, thanks to the love of Lord Fujun, I am in charge of the banquet and drinking affairs of Taishou Mansion today. In your situation, Master Zhang also told me, since I am here to learn how to eat, I must teach with my heart, and you can just open your mouth if you want to learn. ”
Ladies and gentlemen, look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks first.
In the end, a cook lady in Taishoufu said loudly: "You are not all here to learn to make too empty food, this Xiaolangjun can make a lot of pasta, there are worry-relieving buns, green onion cakes, buns, etc., what are you still hesitating about, miss this opportunity, you regret it too late." ”
Everyone hesitated for a while, and a slightly fat cook stood up and said a little reservedly: "We want to learn how to make all the noodles on the Taixu menu, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"I'm afraid this won't work." Wu Yong shook his head.
The scene fell silent in an instant, and many of the cooks were a little depressed.
Wu Yong looked at everyone and said unhurriedly: "Today is the banquet of Taishou, I'm afraid I don't have so much time to teach you how to make noodles." ”
Everyone was right to think about it, and hope was ignited again.
Wu Yong didn't tease them anymore, and said with a smile: "I was joking with your aunts just now, the matter of pasta, let's talk about it later, you will follow me to learn how to cook stir-fry today." ”
Everyone was overjoyed, they just wanted to make pasta, but they didn't expect Wu Yong to teach them how to make stir-fried vegetables, and they didn't come in vain today.
At that moment, a cook bent down and said: "Xiao Langjun is kind-hearted, and the slave family thanked him first." ”
All the cooks reacted and said in unison: "Thank you, Xiao Langjun." ”
Wu Yong waved his hand, "Aunties don't have to be polite, the boy's mother is younger than you, you give me a salute, if my aunt knows, I should say that I am disrespectful." ”
When the cooks saw that Wu Yong was young and could speak again, they suddenly felt a lot less restrained.
Some cooks even joked with Wu Yong, "Hehe, Xiao Langjun knows how to honor his parents and elders at a young age, and I don't know how many parents he envy." ”
