299 General Mo's Temptation
Because the cold skin and water chestnut cake were made on the first day, and the amount of sales was not as good as a few days ago, Zhenqiao was very busy alone, while setting up a stall outside, when no one was around, she went to the kitchen to make cold skin and water chestnut cake, and Ling Xiaorou didn't have to worry about it at all.
Therefore, today is the most comfortable and relaxed day for Ling Xiaorou these days, the production of twelve dishes is much easier than thousands of cold skins, and sure enough, opening a restaurant is the most profitable business.
It's a pity that Ling Xiaorou doesn't want to be too eye-catching, so she can only choose to make money in such obscurity.
Sending Zhang Wubao away, Ling Xiaorou was still wondering if Zhang Wubao would come to send money tomorrow
Moved a chair and sat in the patio to watch Zhenqiao finish busy with the stall in front and busy with the kitchen in the back, and did the work of two people by herself, it can be seen that she is leaving, and Zhenqiao can stand alone, so that she can walk with peace of mind.
For more than half a month, the second miss stayed in the house to deal with the third miss, Ling Xiaorou and Zhenqiao had been paying close attention to the rumors that Lan Xiang had said outside, but they didn't hear the slightest rumor.
Sure enough, everything is a conspiracy of the third lady, but what is her purpose
Now, Zhenqiao can hold up a stall alone, even if Ling Xiaorou sometimes wants to help, Zhenqiao will stop her, and repeatedly guarantee that she can handle it alone.
Since Ling Xiaorou sent Zhang Wubao with a table of dishes on the first day, Zhang Wubao has been deeply fascinated by Ling Xiaorou's cooking skills, and comes to eat every day rain or shine, but it is a pity that the food is comfortable, but the person who is in his heart has not shown up.
Sometimes when he drank too much, Zhang Wubao would ask Ling Xiaorou drunkenly: "Ling Xiao, did you say that your second miss was avoiding me?"
Ling Xiaorou is silent, it is better for her not to participate in other people's feelings, lest it will be wrong in the future.
Anyway, she hadn't seen the second miss for a few days, since she made up her mind to leave the Mo Mansion, Ling Xiaorou chose to live in the rented house, the second miss was closely watched by the third miss, and it was not good to always go out of the house, and gradually understood Ling Xiaorou's intentions.
Although she didn't want to die, she was so troubled by the chaos in the mansion during this time that she didn't have time to come out and contact Ling Xiaorou, so she could only let Zhenqiao tell Ling Xiaorou over and over again that she would not dislike Ling Xiaorou's background, so that Ling Xiaorou didn't dare to step into the Mo Mansion again.
Fortunately, in order to show his intentions, Mo Hongjin spoke, in the past, he gave Ling Xiaorou five taels of silver dividends every day, but now it has risen to twenty taels, which makes Ling Xiaorou a little reluctant to leave, although the wool is out of the sheep, but in this way, she can earn silver without going out, as long as she is not stupid, she should be reluctant to give up.
Zhang Wubao ate well at Ling Xiaorou's place and brought some of his friends over, although Ling Xiaorou had more opportunities to be exposed, and at the same time brought profits.
It's just that Zhang Wubao still has a brain, but he claims that the owner of this private restaurant is his friend, and he didn't reveal anything about Miss Mo Er.
If it weren't for Ling Xiaorou's agreement in advance, there would be no more than three tables at such a banquet every day, and she would be afraid that someone would have stepped on the threshold here, but in this way, Ling Xiaorou's good skills would only be circulated among Zhang Wubao and a few friends, and outsiders really didn't know about it at all.
Moreover, later, they would bring their own ingredients for whatever they wanted to eat, after all, many precious ingredients were not purchased all at once, which not only saved Ling Xiaorou's worry, but also saved effort, and made a lot of money.
Because the first table of Zhang Wubao was eaten for fifty taels, although they have brought ingredients over now, the rules of fifty taels and one table remain unchanged, but they have become their own ingredients.
Ling Xiaorou's dividends also became twenty taels per table, and she could earn sixty taels of silver almost every day.
In the blink of an eye, the one-month lease period arrived, and Ling Xiaorou was about to take the silver to flash people, although it was only more than half a month, Ling Xiaorou also earned a few hundred taels, counting the thousands of taels on her body before, she could buy a small Zhuangzi to live in happily.
As a result, just when Ling Xiaorou made up her mind to leave quietly, the second lady came to the house, and the eldest lady took her future uncle back to the house, and asked her to go back and cook a table of good dishes.
Ling Xiaorou was helpless, so she could only follow Zhenqiao back home.
I haven't returned to Mofu for more than half a month, and as soon as I entered Mofu, Ling Xiaorou found that Mofu had changed a lot, not only the potted plants in the house were replaced by various precious varieties, but even the walls were painted with a layer of paint, and the whole Mofu looked much richer.
When I went to the kitchen, I saw that there were countless precious ingredients, and sure enough, there was a big gap between those who had money and those who didn't. No matter how the food tastes, at least the food of the masters in the house has not been deducted anymore.
And what Ling Xiaorou wants to do today is a table of good dishes used to entertain the eldest lady and her future uncle, thinking of the quality of the food in Mofu in the past, Ling Xiaorou didn't plan to do it too unexpectedly, there are chickens, ducks and fish, there are flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and there is no shortage of long ones on the mountain, a whole table of eighteen big dishes is placed on a delicate large plate, that is called a beautiful, in view of the amazing amount of food I saw the eldest lady last time, Ling Xiaorou's amount of dishes this time is amazingly large, and there will definitely be no shortage of food.
Finally waited for the banquet to start, Ling Xiaorou felt that she had nothing to do, she had just changed into a greasy dress and was about to leave the house, just as the house was busy receiving the eldest lady, it was time for her to leave quietly.
As a result, someone came over there to spread the word, and the eldest lady had eaten the food she had cooked, and called someone to pass on the cook's reward.
Ling Xiaorou didn't think much about it, don't give the reward in vain, Miss Mofu is also a general, the reward shouldn't be too cold
When he came to the flower hall, someone went in to return to him, and soon came out to pass on Ling Xiaorou to enter.
Ling Xiaorou lowered her head and walked in, until she reached the table, she saluted according to the rules, and heard a very neutral and beautiful voice say, "Raise your head." ”
Ling Xiaorou knew this voice, the last time the eldest lady returned home, she also secretly glanced twice, and at that time, she thought that this eldest lady who was very good at eating was handsome enough, but she didn't know what a man worthy of her would be.
When I looked up, I saw that the eldest lady I saw last time was staring at her intently, and she looked at it carefully, and there was also a man sitting next to the eldest lady, who must be a quasi-aunt, and she looked quite honest, but there was a flash of light in her eyes from time to time, indicating that this was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the outside.
Ling Xiaorou was a little weak by the eldest lady, and quickly lowered her head, I don't know what she can see from her face, but she is just a cook, do you have to look so carefully
But I didn't see the eldest lady and the prospective aunt next to her look at each other, and they all showed surprises and puzzled looks.
Mo Hongsilk said: "You are the new cook in the house"
Ling Xiaorou answered softly: "Yes"
Mo Hongsu said again: "Your cooking skills are good, you should be rewarded." ”
After speaking, the prospective aunt next to him took a piece of silver and handed it to Ling Xiaorou personally. Ling Xiaorou took it, and it was twenty taels by sight, and sure enough, in front of women, men were quite generous.
Ling Xiaorou thanked the reward, and was just about to retreat, when she heard her aunt ask "What's your name?"
Ling Xiaorou could only say respectfully: "Little Ling Xiao." ”
The prospective aunt pondered for a moment, "It's just that Ling Xiao didn't have any other words."
Ling Xiaorou was taken aback, looked up at her aunt-to-be, and saw his thoughtful expression, but his eyes were very familiar, as if Ling Xiaorou was his long-lost brother.
Ling Xiaorou hurriedly lowered her head, "It's Ling Xiao, the little one comes from a humble background, he only has a first name and surname, and he doesn't take a word." ”
Although Ling Xiaorou misinterpreted his meaning, the prospective aunt was not annoyed, but just turned around and shook his head at the eldest lady, and the eldest lady said, "Okay, you can go down, I hope I can taste your craftsmanship tomorrow." ”
Ling Xiaorou retreated silently, the eldest lady had spoken, presumably before the eldest lady left the Mo Mansion, she didn't want to sneak away, she could only resign herself to staying until the eldest lady left.
On the second day, I got up early with porridge and a few exquisite dim sum, shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, lotus root cakes, and carefully prepared side dishes.
Ling Xiaorou unexpectedly won another twenty taels of silver, which was a lot more than what she earned by entertaining Zhang Wubao outside.
It's just that at noon, when she saw the things in the bucket in front of her, Ling Xiaorou was a little speechless, although there was a saying that she was desperate to eat puffer fish in ancient times, but the other cooks all looked at it secretively
When she heard that King Ning Yuan had notified the world that puffer fish was listed as an explicitly forbidden ingredient, Ling Xiaorou was even more calm.
King Ning Yuan had already informed the world of the toxicity of puffer fish, but General Mo still stubbornly ate puffer fish, because he had confidence in her cooking skills, or he didn't take his life seriously or wanted to test her
I have to say the truth about Ling Xiaorou, I am afraid that she is the only one in the world who can make puffer fish non-poisonous, but if the world knows that puffer fish is not completely inedible, will there really be people who desperately eat puffer fish
If King Ning Yuan knew that the wind of eating puffer fish was blown by her, would he cut her?
Ling Xiaorou thought, why don't you just don't deal with the puffer fish too cleanly, let General Mo suffer, see that she is okay to take out this dangerous ingredient, anyway, everyone knows that the puffer fish is poisonous, and it is not to blame her for eating it badly.
As long as you explain the benefits and disadvantages to General Mo before doing it, if General Mo insists on going her own way, she has to risk death to eat delicious food, and it is no wonder that she is poisoned.
But after thinking about it, everyone in the past has a precedent of letting the chef try the puffer fish he made, in case General Mo has this hobby, she is not shooting herself in the foot
It's just that before doing it, he still went to General Mo to explain the benefits, but General Mo was determined to eat this supreme delicacy, and Ling Xiaorou could only bite the bullet to clean up the puffer fish non-toxic and delicious.
After the puffer fish was ready, Ling Xiaorou deliberately kept two for herself to enjoy, and let the rest be served to General Mo, and the rest was just waiting for General Mo's reward.
