Chapter 8: Cook Yourself
Lin Shuran, who came to the back kitchen, didn't care about the strange eyes of everyone in the kitchen, and asked them to prepare the ingredients they needed, including fresh eggs, cooked lard, flour and sugar, etc., she wanted to make a sweet steamed cake suitable for all ages.
Egg beating is a technical job, because there is no egg beater, Lin Shuran relies on a pair of chopsticks to act as a egg beater, and looking at her skillful and fast egg beating technique, even the kitchen lady who has been cooking in the back kitchen for many years is ashamed of herself, and the daughter of the Taifu family is really not ordinary.
After the cake is ready, I find a suitable porcelain to use as a mold, and then put it on the steamer in the pot, and it can be out of the pot in about two quarters of an hour.
found a food box and put the steamed tea bowl-sized cake into the food box, no more, no less, exactly ten, but Lin Shuran took out one and gave it to the little maid Ping'er in the back kitchen, and then carried the food box back to his yard.
After she was gone, the people in the back kitchen smelled the smell of the house and got to know the general's wife again, a snack they had never heard of, and it was delicious to look at.
So everyone stared at Ping'er, and Ping'er, who was so frightened that she was protecting food, ran away, but this snack was rewarded by Mrs. , and no one gave it.
When Lin Shuran carried the food box into the hospital, he found that the housekeeper Xu An was also there, at this time Xu Mingsheng was also having a good time with his three younger brothers, and when he saw Lin Shuran, he seemed restrained again, but as Lin Shuran approached, a sweet and fragrant smell also attracted everyone to look at her, especially at the food box in her hand.
"The big butler is also here, just try my handiwork!" At this time, Chunxi had already taken the food box in Lin Shuran's hand, and as soon as she smelled the taste, she knew that it was a steamed cake, and in the past three years, Miss had made it a few times for the little master and little lady of the Lin Mansion, and she had eaten it a few times, which was unforgettable.
"Madame, what are you doing?" Xu An wanted to refuse, but he had never smelled the fragrance, thinking that the contents of this box must be good.
"It's just a small snack!" Lin Shuran asked Chunxi to open the food box, first gave Xu An one, and then gave Xu Mingsheng one, the two nurses and Chunxi both, "After eating, there are still eleven and twelve years old, let them eat a little!" Looking at the greedy twin brothers, Lin Shuran instructed the nurse.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Xu Mingsheng took a small bite at first, and found that it melted in his mouth, and it was fragrant and sweet, so delicious that he couldn't help but eat it in a big gulp, and soon a small cup of cake was finished, and he was still unsatisfied.
At this moment, another piece of cake appeared in front of him, the hand holding the cake cup was slender and white, he looked up and saw Lin Shuran's smiling face, and for some reason, there were tears in his eyes all of a sudden.
"Don't cry, it's still after eating, if you want to eat, just tell me, I'll make it for you later!" Lin Shuran rubbed Xu Mingsheng's head, this kid looks sensitive and inferior, he can muster up the courage to come to his courtyard today, it can be seen that he must be desperate for something in his heart, and she seems to vaguely know what he desperately desires.
She smiled so gently, Xu Mingsheng nodded, and then stretched out his hand to take the cake, but he didn't eat it, but plucked up the courage to ask again: "Mother, can I leave this snack for Brother Jiu to eat?" ”
The ninth brother in Xu Mingsheng's mouth is called Xu Mingsong, two years older than him, and the two of them usually play together the most, and their feelings are also the deepest.
"Absolutely!" Obviously he still wants to eat it, but he is still thinking about Xu Mingsong, Lin Shuran saw Xu Mingsheng's cautious appearance, and he felt distressed for a while, "However, I want you to eat it now, help me taste how this dim sum tastes, if it's delicious, I'll make more, my brothers have it, is it delicious?" ”
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Xu Mingsheng, the elder of the Xu family, said with a smile.
"It's really delicious, madam, you can't find this snack all over the capital, it's glutinous, sweet, and fragrant!" Xu An also praised after eating.
"It's delicious, the method is very simple, I'll teach the cook when I go back, and let you all get tired of eating it in the future!" After Lin Shuran finished speaking, he walked up to Xu An again and asked him, "Steward Xu, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Xu An hurriedly put aside the finished cake cup, and then replied: "Madam, didn't you ask me to inquire about the old imperial history a few days ago, and the slave found it!" ”
"Oh? What else does he like? Lin Shuran asked Xu An to go to the hall alone to talk.
The master and servant sat down in the hall, and Xu An told Lin Shuran that Fang Lao Yushi has always been upright and difficult, he doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor does he like to drink wine and taste tea, and he likes to eat snails the most on weekdays.
Lin Shuran didn't expect that Fang Lao Yushi liked to eat snails the most, so this matter would be easy to do, there was a master of catching snails and river shrimp in her grange, so she immediately asked people to go to the grange to pass a message to the steward, and send a basket of fresh and edible snails tomorrow.
After that, she asked people to call Xu Mingchen, Xu Mingzhou, Xu Minghao, and Xu Mingxuan, but only three came, and Xu Mingchen told Lin Shuran that Xu Minghao was not in the house in the past two days.
"Was this how often it used to be? He's only seven years old, can he stay up at night? Lin Shuran didn't let them follow the rules to settle the province in the morning and dusk, it was troublesome, and she didn't think it was necessary, but she didn't know that Xu Minghao was no longer in the mansion, and no one in the mansion told her about it.
"Mother, don't worry, the seventh brother is protected by the family, and there are people to protect him secretly, and my father also said that boys should not be confined to the family, and they must dare to break through, so-" Xu Mingchen explained.
But he didn't want Lin Shuran to interrupt him with a wave of his hand, "So let a seven-year-old child stay outside for as long as he wants, regardless of whether he is in danger, whether he has made bad friends, or whether he doesn't even have to eat?" I don't care at all?! ”
At this moment, Lin Shuran was angry, Xu Junze's education method was completely irresponsible, and this completely free-range attitude would only hurt a child who was not yet mentally mature, and this kind of injury may be physical, or spiritual and spiritual.
Originally, they lost their parents and became orphans, they had an emotional deficit, and Xu Junze "free-ranged" and "connived" at them regardless of it, and would only give them the aftermath after they got into trouble, but never taught them the truth of being a man and doing things, what did he do with these children, did he think that he would give them a nominal home, so that they would not have to worry about food and clothing, even if he had an explanation for those who died!
Thinking of what he said, "It has nothing to do with you", she is even more popular now, she can't teach, and she doesn't let others take care of it, as a former hot-blooded teacher, she really can't help but make a move, not to mention that the thirteen young masters of the Xu family are all her stepsons, as a mother to educate her own children, in this time and space, it is very justifiable.
Lin Shuran's face turned cold, and his majestic momentum was revealed at once, Xu Mingzhou and Xu Mingxuan both looked at Xu Mingchen with some fear, Lin Shuran has always been friendly and friendly when facing them, but now she makes them feel a little scared.
"Today, even if you tie up, you have to tie up the seventh child back for me, and tomorrow you will go to the Fang Mansion with me to admit your mistakes!" Lin Shuran's expression was resolute, Xu Mingchen's heart shook but he didn't speak, Lao Qi has been acting a little out of line recently.
