287 The second lady who chased the ducks to the shelves

Ling Xiaorou didn't make too much publicity, just fried a mapo tofu and a stir-fried shrimp, which was too inconspicuous compared to the two chefs who used enough ingredients and watched the heat to make a few big dishes.

But the more simple the dish, the more it can show the skill of the cook, and as Ling Xiaorou expected, she defeated the two chefs and was left in the Mo Mansion.

Because Governor Mo and General Mo were both in front of the army, the second lady Mo Hongjin was housekeeper in the mansion, and after Ling Xiaorou successfully applied for the chef, she was brought to the second lady.

First asked the second lady to say goodbye, the second lady put down the account book in her hand, stared at her several times, and then smiled: "It looks weird and handsome, so let's stay in the house and have a look first." ”

Ling Xiaorou thanked her and was taken out by the housekeeper.

When he turned around, he saw a teenager striding in from outside, shouting as he ran: "Second sister and second sister, something is wrong!" ”

When she saw Ling Xiaorou, she was also stunned, "Who is this?" ”

The manager who brought Ling Xiaorou over next to him explained: "Go back to the eldest prince, this is the new cook in the house. ”

The eldest prince also stared at Ling Xiaorou a few times, "It's very handsome!" It's just a little darker. ”

Waving his hand, "It's okay, let's go down!" ”

When Ling Xiaorou was taken down by the general manager, she heard that the eldest prince was talking to the second lady about the eldest sister coming back, although Ling Xiaorou had never seen the legendary General Mo, but how could she say that it was also their eldest sister, what was wrong with coming back?

Soon walked away, and I couldn't hear the exaggerated and flustered tone of the eldest prince.

Ling Xiaorou was arranged by the manager in the front yard next to the kitchen, fortunately, the Mo Mansion is big enough, Ling Xiaorou is a chef, and she has a room by herself, so it is best not to squeeze with other people.

Ling Xiaorou's monthly salary of five taels of silver in Mofu, if she does a good job, there will be a reward, although the silver is not much, Ling Xiaorou doesn't care too much, anyway, her real intention of coming to Mofu to be a cook is not for those wages, and being able to hide from the second master of He Lou is the real purpose.

In the past few days, she has often thought about the situation of Da Lang and the others, but seeing that they swore that Ningyuan Wangfu would not embarrass them, Ling Xiaorou could only believe it like this.

The next morning, Ling Xiaorou came to the kitchen, today was the first day of work in Mofu, she had to show her hand.

There are now a total of twelve masters in the Mo Mansion, in addition to the twenty-year-old second lady Mo Hongjin and the sixteen-year-old eldest son Mo Hongdong who saw yesterday, there is also a sixteen-year-old third lady Mo Hongmian in the mansion, and three sons from the concubine, namely the fifteen-year-old second son Mo Hongxi, the third son Mo Hongnan, and the thirteen-year-old fourth son Mo Hongbei.

The remaining six are all Mo Tidu's concubines, although Mo Tidu's concubines are not only these six, but the favored ones are all brought with them, and the remaining few in the mansion are all old and yellow, and Mo Tidu can't look down on them, so they are not so careful to wait.

Yesterday, the manager told her about the habits of several masters in the house, and the second lady must eat porridge every morning when she gets up; The third lady is not picky about what to eat, but she must make it delicious; Several sons get up late, and breakfast is generally dealt with to eat some snacks, and the rest of the aunts don't eat the same every day.

Moreover, the specifications of Mofu's meals are not too high, the two young ladies who came out of the concubines at lunch are six dishes and one soup, and the young ladies are two dishes less, and the aunts are two dishes and one soup, and the plates are not big, that is, just enough for one person, guaranteed to eat, and there is not much left.

As for the people in the house, they don't need Ling Xiaorou to do it personally, they have their own kitchen to stew a big pot of dishes every day, compared to many extravagant and wasteful households, the Mo family can be regarded as thrifty, and it is relatively much easier.

Ling Xiaorou pondered the food to be made today last night, since the second lady wanted to eat porridge every day, she changed the pattern to make porridge every day, and with a few snacks, even the shares of several sons were brought out.

It's just that they don't all say that people were diligent in ancient times, and people like the Mo family, the sons don't have to smell the chickens and dance, how can they sleep until breakfast can't catch up? No wonder there is a General Mo in the Mo family's generation, perhaps because his father and eldest sister are not at home all the year round, and the sons of the family have no one to discipline them, so they will neglect to study.

There are also five people in the kitchen who help Ling Xiaorou, two women and three men, the women are mainly washing dishes and washing dishes, and the men are mainly helping the kitchen and doing some manual work.

Ling Xiaorou instructed them to wash rice, wash vegetables and make porridge, since the eldest lady couldn't do without porridge for breakfast every day, Ling Xiaorou wanted to make a rose porridge for beauty first.

First, the stalk rice that had been soaked for about half an hour was slowly boiled in a clay pot, and then people went to the garden to pick a few unopened roses, broke the petals and washed them, and when the porridge was cooked, half of the roses were put in, and a spoonful of cherry jam was placed on top of the bowl when eating.

I heard that the cherry jam came from the legendary Miss Table's shop, but the price was a bit expensive, and ordinary people couldn't afford it, but this was because General Mo had an extraordinary relationship with Miss Table, and the Miss Cousin gave it to the Mo family.

The other half of Ling Xiaorou made salted pork porridge, after all, there are so many people in Mofu, and they don't necessarily like to eat rose porridge, so it is not difficult to make two kinds of porridge.

While cooking porridge, Ling Xiaorou stirred it into a paste with flour, put it in a pot and spread it into a palm-sized cake, after the cake was formed, pour the egg liquid made of crushed ham, green and red peppers, chopped shallots, and salt, and while the egg liquid was not solidified, lift one end of the cake and fold it into a semicircle, and when the egg liquid inside was cooked, it became a semi-circle cake, and you can see the crushed ham and beautiful green and red peppers inside through the edge.

After mixing a few more side dishes, I asked people to send them to a few masters who got up early.

Before, I heard the manager repeatedly emphasize that Mofu is based on diligence and thrift, and the most avoidance of extravagance and waste, Ling Xiaorou thought so, although she thought that most of the Mofu's accounts were not rich, but she still agreed with diligence and thrift, the masters of Mofu were diligent and thrifty, so she was relaxed, wasn't it?

After the second miss ate the porridge, she sent someone to praise Ling Xiaorou for a few words, Ling Xiaorou felt that these were all false, and she really felt that it was delicious, so she rewarded her, but since the second miss didn't say it, Ling Xiaorou couldn't ask for it, so she could only look forward to the lunch being ready, and the second miss was happy to reward something.

Through breakfast, there is less salted meat porridge than rose porridge, Ling Xiaorou knows that a military family like Mofu, no matter how much Miss Gongzi likes to eat meat, she will cook more meat dishes at noon, and if you mix meat and vegetables well, you must be thrifty and satisfied.

Since the masters have the habit of eating dim sum, Ling Xiaorou also made a few delicious dim sums, just keeping the sons to eat them, so as not to make them again when they get them.

At this time, the weather is hot, and the pastries do not necessarily have to be hot, and the pastries that are cool and relieve the heat are naturally more popular, so Ling Xiaorou made some white radish cakes, which are filled with ham meat and shiitake mushrooms, and they are also delicious to eat when they are cold.

I made a few bowls of bowl cakes, and as soon as Ling Xiaorou was ready, she ate several pieces of radish cakes, and also distributed some of the helpers in the kitchen.

Compared with the food of expensive ingredients in the past, Ling Xiaorou's ingredients are all cheap, but the things she makes are delicious, and the most important thing is that when she 'tastes' the things she makes, she does not forget the other people in the kitchen, but she has won everyone's compliments.

Ling Xiaorou felt that the food she made was delicious and inexpensive, presumably the second lady who had a headache for the expenses in the house should be very satisfied, right?

After a few sons woke up and asked people to come to the kitchen to get radish cakes and bowl cakes and go back to eat, they summoned Ling Xiaorou to go over, except for the eldest son, no one else has ever seen what such a delicious chef looks like when making pastries, and after seeing it, you can rest assured, lest people look sloppy, no matter how delicious the things they make, they will also make a mistake when they eat it.

As a result, after seeing Ling Xiaorou, several sons felt that although this person was a little darker, he looked really good, and he spoke softly, although he was a little less manly, it was quite pleasing to the eye.

Ling Xiaorou, who had won the eyes of several sons, was pestered by several sons to talk, if it weren't for Ling Xiaorou getting out on the grounds of cooking, they would still not let go.

And while Ling Xiaorou was making lunch, the second son, Mo Hongxi, and the third son, Mo Hongnan, also followed to the kitchen.

Although these two sons are not born to the same mother, because of their recent age, Su Ri is also the best to play, and many times they go in and out together, even today they are also interested in this new chef together.

Although Dayan Country is not full of male style, for some upper-class people, most of them are not taboo for men and women, as long as they are not put on the surface, no one will say anything.

The second son and the third son are with those fox friends when they are fine, such things are not uncommon, don't look at them as only fifteen years old, many fifteen-year-old teenagers in this era have families and daughters-in-law.

Although they haven't married yet, the family affairs have been decided, and some things outside on weekdays are not completely ignorant, after seeing Ling Xiaorou, they feel that although this new cook is a little darker, his facial features are handsome, and he is a little better looking than the so-called beauties they have seen before.

It's just that I don't mean anything else, and I want to be closer to it, and if I take it out to show my friends, it will make people jealous, right?

As a result, as soon as they arrived at the kitchen, they saw the second sister standing in the kitchen yard with a small fan of Xiangluo, and when they saw this second sister who seemed to be strong, but was actually a little timid, they were still very frightened.

The father and eldest sister are not at home, and there is no housemother at home, so only the second sister can take over the responsibility of housekeeping when the ducks are put on the shelves, but over the years, there are some accounts at home that make the second lady often a little chattering, maybe a little little thing can make her cry non-stop.

The eldest brother who defends the second sister without asking the reason will chase the original culprit who caused the second sister to cry all over the house, and no one can persuade him, and the two often cause some trouble outside on weekdays, and the second lady has shed tears with them, so that they have not been whipped by the eldest brother.

Therefore, in the future, they didn't dare to meet the second sister unless necessary, they hid if they could, but they didn't dare to harm the second sister to drop the golden beans.

They don't understand, they are all born from a mother, why is the eldest sister like iron, and the second sister is like water?

Seeing the second sister in the kitchen today, they wanted to smear oil on the soles of their feet just by looking at them, but they were glared at by the second sister, "Where are you going?" I've heard that you've been out there a lot of trouble these days......"
