Wu Yong was busy in the kitchen, at this time Zhang Yang led Steward Wang in, just now he saw that Wu Yong didn't need his help, so he went to the front yard to help greet guests.

The guests were almost there, and Chen Qiu instructed Steward Wang to come to the kitchen to see how Wu Yong was prepared.

It just so happened that Zhang Yang saw that there were not many things in the front yard, so he led Steward Wang over with him.

As soon as the two of them walked to the kitchen door, they smelled an enticing aroma, and when they walked in, it turned out that Wu Yong was teaching the kitchen ladies to fry things.

When they came in, the croquettes were nearing the end, and Wu Yong was arranging for the cooks to put the pan to relieve their worries, so they immediately found Steward Wang and Zhang Yang coming in.

When the two approached, Wu Yong asked with a smile: "Steward Wang, you are a busy man, why did you come to the kitchen, but what did Lord Taishou command?" ”

The steward nodded at him and scolded with a smile: "If the prince of the palace doesn't give orders, can't I come?" It's only been two days, and you, the little chef, are the nobles in the eyes of the prince. ”

Wu Yong smiled and complimented: "It's not as good as the king's steward, the kid has today's achievements, and thanks to the king's steward's city gate, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the Taishou Mansion." ”

Zhang Yang stood aside and didn't speak, smiling and watching the big and small people compliment each other, it felt quite interesting. This king steward has always been above the top, and he doesn't easily joke with others, and he can treat the young Wu Yongruo like this, which shows that he values him very much.

Steward Wang and Wu Yong laughed a few more words, and then said with a straight face: "How are the preparations for today's banquet, the prince is urging it." ”

Wu Yong thought for a moment and said: "Not long ago, Lord Cao told the kid that there were thirty tables of guests, and the kid estimated that this bean food must be enough, but there is only one pig for a pig banquet, which is a little insufficient. There is also the fact that the boy is mainly making fried tea today, but the tableware here does not have the plates that the boy wants. ”

It stands to reason that for a thirty-table banquet, a fat pig is definitely not enough, but the banquet prepared by Chen Qiu today has ulterior motives, so Zhang Yang didn't say anything at first, and Wu Yong didn't ask much.

Now when the king's steward came to inquire about the feast, he said it as it should.

In fact, the most troublesome thing for Wu Yong was that at this time, there were only bowls and plates, no plates.

This is related to the most popular meal system nowadays, he can understand, but today's square tables and benches used by banquet guests, for him in later generations, if he puts a bowl of stir-fried vegetables on the table, how awkward it looks.

When the king heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What is a plate?" ”

Wu Yong thought for a while and replied: "It's a tableware twice as big as a plate, which contains more stir-fried vegetables, better heat dissipation, and it is more convenient for guests to pick up dishes." ”

How did he know that in ancient China, there was no habit of using plates, bowls for eating, and plates for dishes, until the Qing Dynasty, when plates were introduced to China from Western society, and people found it really convenient to use plates to load dishes!

So the plates used by Westerners to eat have become the tableware used by Chinese to serve dishes.

Zhang Yang listened to Wu Yong's words at this time, but he said straightforwardly: "Then you don't need plates, you still use plates, today's prince doesn't plan to let these powerful gentry eat too much." ”

Wu Yong was a little confused, it was the first time he heard that the banquet guests did not let the guests eat too much!

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yang was worried that he would think too much, and couldn't help explaining: "The purpose of the Fujun's banquet this time is to let these powerful gentry exchange grain for bean food and pig feasts, after they have tasted the delicious food, they can't eat too much, and they naturally have a sense of desire in their hearts, and then the initiative is in the hands of the Fujun, and they can take the opportunity to exchange more food." ”

Wu Yong was stunned, he didn't expect that people in this era would still use psychological tactics. In the future, you have to be cautious, don't accidentally fall into other people's psychological hints, isn't this a shame for future generations.

Since you use a plate to serve the food, it is much easier to do, after all, it can save two-thirds of the time.

So Wu Yong asked Steward Wang to return to Taishou Chen Qiu, and then wait for half an hour to arrange someone to come over to serve the food.

After Steward Wang left, Zhang Yang saw that he was not needed here, so he left, this time he did not go to the front yard, but went to the tofu shop to watch.

Today, I will rely on this bean food in exchange for food, and I can't make any mistakes.

After Wu Yong and the others left, he arranged for the cooks to get busy and began to make bean food, and taught them how to put dishes by the way!

Toast with shallots, four pieces of tofu per Fluttershy, garnish with a few chopped green onions.

Mix the braised eggs with dried tofu, each Fluttershy with one braised egg and a few slices of braised tofu.

Stir-fry this one is even better, put some in each plate.

……

After Wu Yong commanded the twenty cooks to make a total of thirty tables of nine plates of bean food, he asked them to stop a little first and prepare to teach them how to cook a pig feast.

First of all, I made tamales, which took a long time to steam, so I made them first.

First, cut the pork belly into long thick slices, pour in five-spice powder and rice wine, marinate for a while, then wrap it in rice noodles and start steaming in the pot.

After that, I made two cold dishes, garlic white meat and radish slices mixed with lean meat, of course, this is relatively simple, it is labor-intensive, Wu Yong just demonstrates, and the rest is for the cooks to wait for Wu Yong's teaching to be completed, and they do it themselves.

For stir-frying, Wu Yong made shredded celery and radish meat, after all, pork is limited, so he made it simply.

Those things that were fried couldn't be wasted, so Wu Yong made stewed meat skin and meatball soup.

Next, I made a sweet and sour pork rib with honey, which is more difficult, and honey is also precious, so I don't dare to let the cooks waste it.

Because he just observed the cooks who were making delicious food, and saw with his own eyes that they ate all the bad food themselves!

At this point, the Nine Pig Banquet has also been officially taught, and Wu Yong can finally stop and rest.

The cooks were both excited and excited, and their eyes changed when they looked at Wu Yong, they didn't expect that today they would not only learn to make bean food, but also learn to make a pig feast.

Today finally lived up to the expectations of the main family, and at the same time, he was very grateful to Wu Yong, even if they annoyed him because of his own shallow knowledge, he still taught them to make a pig banquet with his heart.

At that moment, they all bowed down and thanked him: "Thanks to the little chef's teaching, the slaves will definitely remember it." ”

Wu Yong waved his hand, "No need to be polite, you guys hurry up and go to the pig banquet, don't let Lord Taishou wait, I'll rest first." ”

"Oh" The cooks are all busy, Wu Yonggang wanted to find a place to rest, but saw two unexpected people.

But I don't know when Liu Jing and Chen Xian slipped into the kitchen, and when everyone was busy, they were like hungry wolves, and when they saw the prepared food, they were eating a big meal.

By the time Wu Yong found them, both of them had already eaten a lot of food.

At that moment, Wu Yong walked up to the two of them and asked, "Why are you two here?" ”

Liu Jing looked at the busy cooks, all of them were concentrating on cooking, and even the cooks of their own Hou Mansion didn't come to greet him when they saw him coming, so they asked: "Boy, how do you have a long head, how do you know so many ways to eat, you should still have a lot of food practices, right?" ”

"Guess!" Wu Yong rolled his eyes, "I can do a lot, but it's a pity that you can't eat." ”

Wu Yong knows very well that for a child with such a noble status as Liu Jing, the more you follow him, the more things he will do, and he has to let him not get it, so he can beg you.

"I don't guess, I'm telling you, if you have good food in the future, you must share it with me." Liu Jing said bluntly.

Wu Yong didn't bother to take care of him, turned around and asked Chen Xian, "What are you doing in the kitchen?" Beware of oil smoke on your face. ”

Chen Xian's eyes rolled, and she said coquettishly: "I heard my mother say that you teach the cook to cook in the kitchen, so come and see my brother." ”

Wu Yong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I think you are just greedy, don't use me as an excuse." ”

Chen Xian stuck out her tongue, ran to Wu Yong's side with a smile, and praised: "The food made by Brother is so delicious, I have never eaten such delicious food!" ”

Then he pulled Wu Yong's arm and kept shaking it: "Brother will make it for me every day in the future, okay?" ”

"Go, don't bother me, I'm almost tired, find a place to rest for a while." Wu Yong lightly slapped her hand and was about to leave.

At this time, Liu Jing blocked the way and asked angrily: "Ben Hou is talking to you, why don't you answer?" ”

"I'll leave it to your cook, with them here, are you still afraid that you won't be able to eat delicious food?" Wu Yong is really tired now and doesn't want to entangle with him more.

"Don't try to deceive Ben Hou, Ben Hou is smart." Liu Jing stared at Wu Yong.

At this time, Chen Xian pushed Liu Jing away, "What are you doing, Liu Jing, my brother is going to rest, why are you stopping, if you do this again, don't come to my house in the future." If I have any good food in my house, I won't give it to you. ”

Liu Jing was pushed away by Chen Xian, and just wanted to get angry, when he heard Chen Xian say that he would not give him delicious food, he suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and hurriedly said: "I won't stop him, Sister Xian, if you have delicious food in the future, you must call me!" ”

Wu Yong looked at Liu Jing with pity and said secretly: "This guy is really for food, and he doesn't even want self-esteem." ”

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." Then, Chen Xian smiled and said to Wu Yong: "Brother, don't bother with him, you go to rest, I'll go see what the cook cooks are delicious." ”

"Don't! You'd better follow me, and I'll get you something to eat." Wu Yong was suddenly excited, and he felt that he was not tired, he was really afraid that these two snacks would ruin the pig banquet that was already not much.

"Really?" Liu Jing was not angry at this time, and when he heard that Wu Yong was going to get him something to eat, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You're so smart, can I still lie to you?"

So Wu Yong led the two of them to the place where the pig was killed, and asked people to fish out two thigh bones from the pot of stewed bones, and gave one to Liu Jing and Chen Xian to gnaw.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, you really didn't lie to you!" Liu Jing smelled the fragrance, and his saliva was about to flow down.

Chen Xian also kept swallowing her saliva, "It's really delicious." ”

Wu Yong smiled: "I didn't lie to you, this is what I specially left for you, you can take it and eat it!" ”

When Liu Jing heard this, he nodded to Wu Yong with satisfaction, picked up the big bone and gnawed it. While eating, he shouted, "It's so delicious!" ”

Chen Xian asked with some hesitation, "Brother doesn't eat it?" ”

"I've eaten a lot, you can eat it!" Wu Yong patted his stomach and pretended to be overwhelmed.

Only then did Chen Xian put her mind at ease, learned from Liu Jing, picked up the big bones and gnawed them.
