Chapter 36 Employing People
After everything was dealt with, Jintong immediately returned to the essence of food, and it was cold in Beijing in winter, if he could eat a cup of fragrant and nutritious "Buddha jumping over the wall", how happy would it be.
It's a pity that the transportation in ancient times was quite backward, and some ingredients had to be transported from the coastal areas, which was quite troublesome. It took more than a year to finally prepare the materials needed for the Buddha to jump over the wall. Jintong immediately instructed Qiaolu, who is good at cooking, to hurry up and get it up.
Among the three people, although Jin Ye is the youngest, her cooking skills are quite good, but she is a selfish person who values interests, and she is not as loyal as Su Bai Qiaolu Ning Zi. Besides, Jin Ye also has an older brother who works as an errand in Jinyu Mansion, and he is lazy and can't support the wall.
Just in case, Jintong secretly explained Qiaolu, the final recipe of "Buddha jumping over the wall", which should not be disclosed to others. Because of the dish "Buddha jumping over the wall", Jintong plans to launch it in Xiangrui Building, as a dish to welcome the New Year, and the cooking method naturally has to be kept secret.
So naturally, it is still mainly Qiaolu, and Cui Jue is the main assistant. The golden leaf knife is delicate and has high cooking skills, so she wanted to perform well, but she only arranged for her to help with some ingredients. The ingredients used in this dish, the cooking method, etc., Jin Ye is not very clear, and she is not afraid that she will leak the secret. Coupled with Qiao Lu's direct character, if it is put in modern times, she is a proper female man, and she will not beat around the bush, she is clearly guarding against the gold leaf, how can the gold leaf not be detected?
Buddha jumping over the wall is integrated with 18 kinds of main materials and more than 10 kinds of auxiliary materials. Its raw materials include chicken and duck, pork belly, hoof tip, hoof tendon, ham, chicken and duck gizzard; There are shark fins, sea cucumbers, abalone, dried scallops, and fish high belly; There are also more than 30 kinds of raw materials and auxiliary materials such as pigeon eggs, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and razor clams. Among them, shark fin, sea cucumber, abalone and other ingredients need to be soaked, and some ingredients such as chicken and duck are used to make broth.
As a pit goods, Jintong has always only provided raw materials and approximate cooking methods, how rough is this cooking method?
Jintong's original words are like this: "Those sea cucumbers or something, it seems that they should be soaked in broth first, chicken and duck tendons or something, used to boil broth, and then it seems to be a big pot of stew, plus I specially let Zhao Laosan make rice wine into it to continue boiling." Alas, I don't know if Zhao Laosan's rice wine is authentic, anyway, you can try it casually first, we will explore in practice, and gain experience through exploration, and we will always succeed. ”
Qiao Lu listened with a confused face but said to Jintong with great confidence: "Madame, don't worry, the slave will definitely make this 'Buddha jumping over the wall' for you." ”
The black-hearted boss Jintong patted Qiaolu's shoulder without blushing, panting, and without panic: "Come on, I'm very optimistic about you!" ”
Qiao Lu immediately picked up Jintong's waist card with a fluttering eyebrow, and went to the warehouse to get the precious ingredients to be used.
Although Qiao Lu had a hunch that it would take a lot of difficulties to make this dish successfully, it was still more difficult than she imagined. The first time I boiled it, because I drank it too early, and the amount was not well controlled, the wine flavor was too strong, which overshadowed the deliciousness of the soup, although it could be eaten, but it could only be regarded as a defective dish.
Since the second time, although it has become more and more successful, the pursuit of perfection has never stopped the pursuit of the ultimate food, and the proportion of main ingredients and accessories has been constantly adjusted, so that the loss of ingredients is quite serious.
Although it is said that most of the defective dishes that Qiao Lu felt were not perfect were eventually fed to the group of animals in the torture room~ Oh, strong young man, but such a large amount of ingredients is consumed, and some people can't see it, for example, Jin Ye, who has long been out of deal with Qiao Lu.
Jin Ye is in a crowd of maids, although the appearance is not as good as the goose yellow, but the talent is very good, the cooking skills are good, the abacus is good, although the needlework is not as white as plain, but it is also okay.
She herself has already calculated, Ning Zi is already twenty, Jintong has already prepared the dowry for her, because this year and the man's father are in conflict, everything is not appropriate, so the marriage will be postponed to the middle of next year, so that the position of a first-class maid will be vacated.
Jin Ye didn't dare to expect this position, she pondered that Jintong would raise Yan Hong nine times out of ten, and what she was determined to do was Yan Hong, the position of the second-class maid.
Jintong has always been generous to a few of them, although the first-class maid said that it was only eight taels of moon silver, but when she looked at Danzhu, she knew that she had saved thousands of taels of silver as a pressure box silver for marriage. The second-class maids are five taels of silver per month, but there is a lot of oil and water that can be fished every day, which is better than the few of them who help the kitchen and sweep.
In the past few months, Jin Ye has been working hard to express herself, and she also likes the pastries and snacks she makes, and now she wants to take advantage of the help "Xiangrui Building" to develop new dishes and perform well.
She figured it out herself, and it was estimated that it was the goose yellow thing that affected her, so even the goose yellow was sent to the embroidery room outside, she didn't go to see it off, but she thought that this move was enough to show her position, but she didn't know that it made Jintong even more disgusted, and Qiaolu was a friendship-minded, so she naturally looked down on Jin Ye as a person who saw the wind and steered the rudder.
Jin Ye naturally didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, she just felt that Qiao Lu didn't like her, and she was afraid that her cooking skills would surpass her in the future, so she deliberately suppressed her.
As the saying goes, there are only three things, and when Qiao Lu has started cooking for the fourth time, Jin Ye finally couldn't help but jump out and took the initiative to ask Qiao Lu to help her cook, but Qiao Lu still refused. Jintong has always been very strict with the rules, and Jin Ye didn't dare to argue with Qiao Luduo, so he had to start soaking sea cucumber and abalone with tears in his eyes and bitterness.
After Jintong learned of this, he did not hesitate to promote Jin Ye to a second-class maid, Qiao Lu's violent temper, his face was flushed, and he secretly stole a vacancy, and immediately went to Jintong to ask. "Madam, how can you be such a smart person, how can you mention gold leaf to be a second-class maid?"
Jin Tong drank the flower tea leisurely and asked, "Is there anything wrong with mentioning gold leaves to be a second-class maid?" ”
Qiao Lu looked disgusted: "Madam, that girl's heart is boundless, and all the good things in the world are calculated by her, she is selfish and cold by nature." ”
Jintong asked: "You people who can cook have a fire on the stove every day, and even their temper is as hot as the fire, isn't it?" ”
"Madam, why do you still have the heart to laugh with the slave maid? Do you dislike slaves? ”
Jin Tong laughed: "Little fool, even the dung can be used for fertilizer, everything is usable, and it is a waste to abandon it for no reason." ”
Qiao Lu's head was a little unable to turn, and he asked blankly: "In Madame's heart, the golden leaf is ~ dung ~ dung water?" Why did the lady put one, one, a man full of dung next to her? Do you deserve to panic if you don't look at it? ”
This magical brain circuit directly made Jintong feel that she could no longer face up to Jin Ye, and she sighed: "Qiaolu, you can't always look at a person's shortcomings, you have to look at her advantages." In all fairness, putting aside Jin Ye's personality, how do you think her cooking skills and usual attitude and speed are better than others? ”
Qiao Lu was a little reluctant to admit it, but she still confessed: "Jin Ye doesn't say anything else, the knife work is much more exquisite than the slave, and she does things quickly on weekdays, but she never helps others." ”
"It's enough to be able to do things faster than others, and do your job better than others."
"Madame instructed the slave maid that when the Buddha jumped over the wall, she should not let the golden leaf know the recipe ratio of the dish, and the slave and maid thought that the lady would not reuse the golden leaf."
"The dish of Buddha jumping over the wall is prepared for Xiangruilou, since you know that Jin Ye values interests, you should know why I don't let her know the recipe." Looking at Qiaolu's stupid tendon, Jintong said more clearly: "Employing people and defending people is not a conflict, and not using people in order to prevent people is the biggest waste." ”
Qiao Lu finally suddenly realized: "Manure and fertilizer, although it stinks, but flowers and trees grow fast and well, so you can't use it to fertilize because it stinks." ”
Jintong: "!!??? "Why does she have to use the analogy of dung?
