Chapter 22 Dig the foot of the wall
When Fuguier returned to the bedroom, Chun Xi'er was teaching Shao Ying to read and write, and when she saw Fuguier entering the door, the two quickly got up to fetch water to wash Fuguier.
Fugui'er was taking off her coat when she suddenly noticed that the two little girls had changed their hairstyles and put on the current popular makeup, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Wait, what's the matter with your two hairstyles and makeup?" ”
"Oh, that red-clothed Rui Niang came here in the evening, she taught us, this Rui Niang is really a good sister who knows her heart......" Chun Xi'er answered the young master's question while busy with the work in her hands.
"People helped you comb your new hairstyle and put on makeup, is it a good sister? We are new to the city, we can't hurt people and have the heart to prevent people, and we must pay more attention to interacting with people, this is no better than our Zhu family's reed land......"
"I know the young master......" The two replied in unison, but the look on Shao Ying's face was a little unconvinced.
Also, people are people who play small walks in the rivers and lakes, and there are more people in contact with them, where is the need to remind themselves, Fuguier thought so in his heart and didn't say it.
But that Shao Ying, who held back for a while, finally couldn't bear it and spoke again, "The sister in red also said that men and women only hurt their buttocks once, and since then, they have been comfortable and infinitely greedy, so they can tell us, where is the bad guy, and the evil young man who molests the good family on the street is the bad guy who needs to be guarded against......"
Shao Ying made the bed, Fugui'er washed her feet and fell down, but she wondered why this red-clothed lady wanted to contact her two little girls in private.
Rui Niang manages the catering of the entire South Building, presumably trying to show favor to herself by contacting the two little girls, and the ultimate goal is to leave herself in the Imperial Dining Building to teach cooking skills.
Seeing that the young master had already lay down and no longer spoken, the little girl turned off the light, took advantage of the slight light outside the window, washed her buttocks and wiped her body, and was ready to sleep.
"Shao Ying, why are you," Fugui'er thought it was Chun Xi'er who went to bed, but turned over and hugged her into her arms but found that it was wrong, the two were about the same height and physique, but Chun Xiren had a docile personality, and if you hugged her into her arms, she would only be shy and paralyzed, and she would not be as stiff as Shao Ying.
"Even the buttocks, young master, doesn't it hurt once, I can't help but never scream," as he spoke, he sent his little ass into Fugui'er's arms.
"What do you think, don't listen to Na Rui Niang's nonsense, once men and women perform the rites of Zhou Gong, they will be tied together for the rest of their lives, and it is not your personality to stay at home with their husbands and children, hurry up and sleep......"
Although she couldn't bear to destroy the budding flowers that were waiting to bloom, Fugui'er didn't refuse to hold the flowers and smell the fragrance of the flowers, she hugged Shao Ying's petite body tightly, let go of all her thoughts, and sleepiness swept over.
I didn't say anything all night, got up early the next day, went downstairs and trotted out to exercise, and when I came back with sweat, the red-clothed Rui Niang was already waiting outside the door.
The two simply said hello, Rui Niang took Fuguier to the back kitchen, at this time, the masters arrived one after another, ready to start a day's work, Rui Niang announced the position of Fuguier's technical director, and everyone had no objections.
Yesterday I personally witnessed the cooking skills of this young man, the skills of the best master chef in the whole back kitchen, I am not qualified to lift shoes for others, and I am good at the shade with my back against the big tree, and I work under this person, even if I learn a half bottle and go to another restaurant, I will be respected as a guest, and the salary will be several times more than predictable.
Integrate into the back kitchen, only to really understand that their understanding of the world is still too little, the chef in the back kitchen is not called a chef at all, people call the doctor of tea and rice, also called the cabinet servant, because there are too many small people in the back kitchen, usually the master is called, so the people in the kitchen are also called the master, but the guests who come to the banquet are still called the chef.
Why is the current iron pot seasoning almost the same as that of later generations, but it is impossible to cook a meal with all the color and flavor of later generations, Fuguier also found the reason.
The invention of the thin-bottomed iron pot, but only a few decades later, thoroughly mastered the application of the iron pot, and created a relatively delicious meal, which takes time to explore, so in this era, frying, frying, stewing, boiling, the four skills have matured, especially the stewing skills that every chef can master skillfully, especially the various soups stewed, which are the delicious inheritance of later generations.
The technique that can really reflect the standard of cooking is stir-frying, which has extremely strict requirements for heat, so the stir-fried dishes made by the chef of Fuguier Lu cuisine can be so amazing.
With the addition of Fu Guoer, the dishes of the Imperial Dining House have undergone a complete change, and within a few days, they spread in Bianliang City, and there is an endless stream of guests who come to check the authenticity every day, and the table has to be turned over two or three times a day.
Although the masters have doubled their work, the salary is also rising, there is more silver in their pockets, and the tired and bitter points are nothing, although Fuguier does not tell everyone the production method of MSG, but each chef in charge of the spoon is equipped with a cloth bag containing sea intestine powder, and some condiments are added to the sea intestine powder, so that no matter how powerful the chef is, he can't taste the ingredients of this thing.
During the day, the sisters-in-law who teach cooking techniques in the back kitchen and train the sisters-in-law to wash their feet at night, although they are recruited are young women who have given birth to children, but in this era they get married and have children early, and they are only in their early twenties, which is the most brilliant age in people's lives.
The daily foot-washing training is the most comfortable time of the day for Fuguier, lying comfortably on the foot-washing bed, accepting the women's foot-pressing in line, Fuguier closed his eyes and thought to himself, "The emperor's life is nothing more than this, no, I am much more comfortable than the emperor, the emperor cares about the world, today the north is in drought, tomorrow the south is flooded, the day after tomorrow which neighbor invades the border, such days are tired to think about......"
Fuguier is a lazy character, regardless of the past life and this life always with the mentality of game life, peace of mind to teach skills for more than a month, and so the chefs in the back kitchen can each master more than a dozen stir-fried dishes, they have no peace of mind in the kitchen, every day symbolically to check it, then run to the front hall, find a corner to avoid people to sit, listen to those scattered guests tell all kinds of folk rumors.
Shao Ying, who has the same hobby as Fuguier, doesn't know where to get a set of clothes to wear for Xiao Er, scurrying around in the hall on the first floor every day, seemingly helping to take care of the guests, where there is a wonderful story, I immediately got up, and I definitely didn't leave after listening to the story.
The most attractive thing for Shao Ying is the pair of old men who must come every day in the corner of the second floor, these two people are one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, the fat old man is dressed in gorgeous clothes and has a greasy face and speaks like a person, at first glance it is a great Confucian with poetry and books, the thin old man is dressed in cloth, his eyes are sharp, his face is full of wrinkles, and it seems that there is a story hidden in every fold.
The two old men come and go together every day, sit at the same table but eat their own meals, each pay their own silver, and the requirements for food are also very different from each other, the old man in cloth only eats the same two dishes every day, but these two dishes must be in charge of the rich and noble man himself, and the old man in Huafu has four dishes and one soup per meal, but he does not care about the chef who does it.
The time when the two of them came, the seats they occupied were also different from others, and there was a vacant space at the east end of the second floor, and the place was not large, and only a small table and two stools could be placed. At first, Fuguier didn't know the purpose of this place, but after a long time, he found that this place was close to the window, and when he opened the window, he faced the street. The second floor is mostly private rooms, and most of the hosts who entertain guests will come in advance to make some arrangements, and when they settle down, they will stand here and watch, and when they see that the guests they are invited to the banquet have arrived, they will hurry downstairs to welcome them.
The two old men missed the most lively meal every day before coming, and when they came, they went upstairs directly to occupy the vacant seat, no matter what the weather was, they would always open the window after eating and drinking, chatting with the sea and the sky, while watching the bustling mobile crowd on the road outside the window.
The two old people can be heard in their conversation, the two have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and have dabbled in the customs and customs of various places, these different tastes of foreign land are exactly in line with Shao Ying's mind, every day when the guests on the first floor are dispersed, Shao Ying will set up a small stool to sit quietly next to the two old men, while serving tea and water to do the business of the tea doctor, while listening to the chatter of the two old men.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, the meals of the Imperial Dining House have been upgraded to a higher level, and they have become famous in Kyoto, and the fame of this rich man is also famous in the catering circle in Kyoto.
On this day, Fuguier was busy in the back kitchen, and was sitting leisurely in the hall on the first floor listening to books, but a small servant came to pass on, and a guest invited Dr. Zhu, who was cooking, to speak in the private room of No. 3 B on the second floor.
At first, Fuguier thought that there was a problem with the food, and they wanted to find the back kitchen to say, and hurried away with Kanter's thoughts, but when they entered the door, they saw two middle-aged people who were brightly dressed and spoke decently, and the two saw Fuguier enter the door, and quickly closed the door of the private room.
"Dr. Zhu, please sit down ......"
The two didn't say anything, first closed the door in a hurry, and then fortunately sat down, but for a while Fuguier couldn't get it.
"I take the liberty of asking, dare to ask Dr. Zhu how much is his monthly salary in this imperial dining building, have you ever thought of finding another job?" The middle-aged man, who was a few years older, saw Fuguier sitting down, relieved his mind and slowly opened his mouth.
"There is no salary, you are here to dig the foot of the wall, you should first inquire clearly before you come, I am like a brother with the owner of this imperial restaurant, I came to Kyoto only to help my brother, how can the friendship of brothers be measured by money, if there is no other thing for him, the villain will leave first......"
Knowing the intention of the two people, Fuguier had no interest in chatting at all, and there were more people sending letters and silver in the past few days, but this was the first time I had seen him dig the foot of the wall.
"Dr. Zhu Shao'an is not impatient, the two of us came rashly today, although it is abrupt but also sincere, although I don't know which one of your good brothers is, but I know that this imperial dining house is mixed with the shares of the Wang family, dare to ask Dr. Zhu if he has thought about it, how can the people who can contact the Wang family be called brothers and sisters with you as a commoner from the countryside, this brotherhood you cherish is just a hidden spell that involves you......"
The middle-aged man has always been very good at negotiation, and when he got to the point, he kept silent, one was to leave time for Fuguier to think about and accept, and secretly observed Fuguier's expression, while organizing the next words.
"What about the royal family, people don't live up to me, I don't live up to people, people respect me a foot, I also live a man, a manly man, a man who does things without a sense of guilt and lives freely, I really feel that this brotherhood is not true one day, and I leave in style is ......"
"Okay, Dr. Zhu said well, since Dr. Zhu can see these clearly, the two of us will not say more, the two of us are the principals of Fan Lou, if Dr. Zhu has the day of leaving in style, you might as well go to my Fan Lou to try, Ronghua and wealth dare not say, living happily and freely must be my Fan Lou."
"Two of you are so naked digging people, aren't you afraid that I will tell my brother about this?"
Fugui'er couldn't help frowning after listening to the words of the two, digging the foot of the wall so unscrupulously, and he didn't take the imperial dining building seriously.
"Haha, it doesn't hurt for Dr. Zhu to just say it, the Imperial Dining Building can dig up a lot of people from my Fan Building, and the red-clothed Rui Niang is also from my Fan Building......
The two glanced at each other, looked at Fugui'er with a puzzled face, and were very proud in their hearts, hugged each other's fists and said goodbye, and then walked away with their hands behind their backs, leaving Fugui'er deep in thought.
