Chi Tao was stunned when he heard this.

Chinese medicine is amazing.......

"Then on weekdays, what are the meals prepared for Childe in the kitchen?"

Tingyu snapped his fingers: "That's a lot, and the small kitchen specially given by Mrs. is much more elaborate than outside." Meat dishes are often made into fish, and if the taste is right, the son can barely eat some, or meat. Vegetarian dishes are casual, and if they are fresh, they can eat more, but it is difficult in autumn and winter. ”

It seems that even Zhong Mingding's food family has not yet developed the kind of food culture that later generations do not get tired of eating.

However, since Gongzi Xie has something that can be eaten, then there is no need to worry, she stands on the shoulders of two thousand years of food culture, and has devoted herself to practicing cooking, and she can't believe that she can't take his stomach.

When I arrived in the kitchen, the people inside were resting after preparing breakfast, and when I saw that Tingyu was coming and was busy giving a seat, Tingyu waved his hand: "Don't be busy, I'll pass the word." This is Brother Chi, Gongzi asked you to help him cook a meal, whatever he said, you can do it, get it and send it to Songzhu Courtyard. And he departed.

There were three of them in the kitchen, an older one who looked like a cook, one a woman in her thirties, and one a boy who hadn't left a head.

It's like a family!

The older cook had a simple face: "Brother Chi, what do you want us to do?" ”

Chi Tao looked at the prepared materials, and saw that there were two fresh yellow croakers in the pot, so he smiled and said, "What do you call the eldest brother?" ”

The cook smiled innocently: "Call me Lao Wei." Pointing to the woman, he said, "That's my family." Then he called out to the child: "Big cow, come and see someone!"

Da Niu was a little scared and hid behind his mother.

Sure enough, it's a family.

Chi Tao said: "Brother Wei, sister-in-law Wei, I was originally from the Welcome Building, and I came to deliver food today, and Gongzi Xie asked me to cook a meal." It shouldn't have been an axe, but Gongzi Xie is also the owner of our welcome building, so he really didn't dare to resign, so he asked the two of them to take care of it. ”

Lao Wei scratched his head and didn't know what to say, so Wei Niangzi smiled heartily: "What kind words did you say?" Just listened to the rain and ordered, you said, let's do it! ”

Chi Tao said, "This yellow croaker, what are you going to do?" ”

Lao Wei was a little confused: "Isn't the fish just steamed?" I heard that the rain said that the son likes to eat fish, so we buy fresh live fish every day. ”

"It's a morning meal, let's make a yellow croaker noodle!"

Lao Wei was very sharp, and he cut off the scales of the yellow croaker and washed it inside and out. He removed the head and tail, and uncovered the big bones, and there were only two pieces of pure flesh left.

When Chi Tao saw that there was still a slaughtered chicken in the kitchen, he took out the chicken rack and stewed it on the fire to boil the soup. He also instructed Lao Wei to chop the fish meat into fine minced fish on the cutting board, and then mix it well with a little ginger juice and pepper powder. On the other hand, Wei Niangzi had already prepared a pot of noodles, so she kneaded the minced fish and noodles together, rolled them out, and cut them into thin noodles.

The aroma of the chicken broth has wafted out, and the chicken skeleton has been discarded, skimmed off the fat and foam, leaving only a pot of bright and fragrant broth.

Chi Tao put down the noodles with the hot soup, and after a short time, it was already boiled, and two bowls came out, sprinkled with some fine coriander.

Wei Niangzi hurriedly brought a holding box: "Put it here!" He handed the box to Da Niu again: "Good life, go with your brother Tao!" ”

Chi Tao thanked him, afraid that the noodles would not last long, so he hurried to Songzhuyuan.

Hearing the rain, he heard the sound and came out to take a look: "Oh, it's coming!" Hurriedly took it in and helped bring it to the table.

Xie Yao originally looked at the book in his hand without a match, and he didn't have much hope for Chi Tao - how many famous cooks couldn't cure his extremely picky eating disease, and a small trotting hall in the welcome building could cure it? It's just to see that he is interesting, and he takes the initiative to invite him to have fun by himself.

An indescribable smell of fresh fragrance wafted into his nose, and his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.

Murong on the other end also raised his head: "It smells quite fragrant." ”

Xie Yao was interested: "Try it." ”

When I arrived at the table, I saw no more than a bowl of ordinary noodle soup, not even toppings, only a few thin emerald greens.

Xie Yao gently picked some noodles and put them in his mouth, he just wanted to taste them, but he was firmly hooked by the fresh fragrance, and he ate an entire bowl of noodles for the first time in one bite, and even drank the soup base cleanly.

Murong had eaten breakfast, and he also felt that the noodles smelled very fragrant, and he was about to move his chopsticks, but he was stunned by Xie Yao's actions.

Listening to the rain's jaws is about to fall.

How long has it been since Childe has eaten so much?

Xie Yao put down the bowl and burped, and he was very surprised.

Others don't know, he himself knows, how many years, he often feels nauseous when he sees food, and he usually can't even drink a bowl of vegetarian porridge all day!

Seeing his friend looking at him dumbfounded, he coughed lightly: "Brother Chi is really exquisite. What is this called? ”

It wasn't until Xie Yao had eaten up a whole bowl of noodles that Chi Tao felt that he was already sure and replied, "This is yellow croaker noodles." Since she knew that Xie Yao was suffering from a strange illness and had eaten less for several days, she decisively made this yellow croaker noodle, using the fragrant chicken soup as the soup base, the two umami flavors collided, producing a wonderful chemical reaction, this noodle soup is not only delicious and delicious, but also the aroma overflowing, it is easy to arouse his appetite first.

"Fish face, but no fish?"

Chi Tao smiled back: "I removed the yellow croaker out of the meat, beat it into minced fish and put it into the noodles, so the soup is clear and smooth, and I only feel delicious, but I can't eat the fish." ”

Xie Yao couldn't help but high-five: "What a delicate thought!" took out a purse and threw it to Chi Tao: "This is a thank you gift, accept it." ”

The purse was heavy, Chi Tao had not yet spoken, and Murong had already eaten most of it, and said leisurely: "It's really delicious." Brother Chi is willing to follow us? I will give you twenty taels of silver a month. He knew Xie Yao's suffering, so he wanted to use Houlu to keep Chi Tao first, and prepare meals for Xie Yao so that he would no longer suffer from hunger.

Twenty taels of silver is enough for a medium-sized family in the countryside for a year's expenses.

Chi Tao didn't rush to agree, lowered his head and thought about it: "I was originally going to enter Beijing......"

"Wouldn't it be just right for us to stay here for a month and then leave for Beijing?"

Chi Tao raised his head: "But I don't want to sell myself." And just prepare meals for the son, and the rest of the time is not in the house, is it feasible? ”

Murong frowned: "You little guy, how can you be so ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Yao: "Brother Chi is so good at eating, he must not be willing to be a slave." It just so happens that my house is inconvenient, so why don't I often go to Brother Chi's house to eat - the monthly silver is still said to be paid for twenty taels, and another thirty taels a month for you to buy ingredients, okay? It's just one thing, I don't know when I'm going, and you'll have to prepare your meal as soon as I go. "The situation in Xie Mansion is complicated, although no one dares to attack him anymore, but if he brings Chi Tao back to his house, Chi Tao is very likely to be plotted.

That's just like a modern private restaurant...... Such conditions are already unimaginably abundant, so I responded to it with pleasure.

Xie Yao is very satisfied - the feeling of warmth and fullness in his stomach is really good!

Knowing the taste of the marrow, he immediately proposed: "In this case, the two of us are going to the academy during the day, and you can send some snacks for supper in the evening." ”

Chi Tao agreed, went back to the welcome building first, and told Shopkeeper Wang that Xie Yao had invited him to be his private cook, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do the work of running the hall.

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and patted his thigh: "Hey, I really didn't expect that Gongzi took a fancy to your craftsmanship!" Let me tell you, the Xie family is not an ordinary person, you have to serve with your heart! Madame is a lady from a famous family, and she has a set of financial management, if you enter the eyes of her old man, then ....... in the future."

After talking a lot, I remembered the resignation: "Yes, yes, you are here, and it is serious to take care of the son!" If you want to use manpower, or any inconvenience, just come to us! ”

You know, Chi Tao went out of the Yingbin Building, and the son asked for the people in the Yingbin Building, is there anything more light on his face than this?

Shao Cheng heard the words and ran out: "Ah Tao, don't you do it?"

Shao Cheng has always treated her kindly, and she smiled: "I think my son has never eaten country food, and he thinks that my cooking tastes fresh, so he asked me to prepare a meal for him." ”

Shao Cheng let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "Good thing! Meddlesome! You're a kid! "Chi Tao always came the earliest, helped him do this and that, and his hands and feet were diligent, and he left suddenly, and he was a little reluctant.

Shopkeeper Wang suddenly remembered something: "That five-spice dried beans?" ”

Chi Tao thought for a while: "It's still the same, fifteen catties a day." I just want to trouble Brother Shao Cheng to pick it up every morning. If she leaves to go to the capital, she will leave the recipe to the shopkeeper Wang, which can be regarded as thanking the shopkeeper Wang for taking her in for her kindness.

Chi Tao went to the back kitchen again, said goodbye one by one, and then went home.

Chi Xing had just dried today's dried beans when she heard Chi Tao call the door and was startled, so she hurriedly came over to open it: "Why are you back now?" Isn't your body feeling unwell? So he went to touch Chi Tao's forehead.

Although she has a cold nature, in front of Chi Xing, Chi Tao always unconsciously has a hint of being a sister, and she can't help but get naughty: "You guess? ”

Chi Xing probed her forehead and felt that she didn't have a fever, and then saw that Chi Tao's face was ruddy, not like she was sick and uncomfortable, so she was a little relieved: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Chi Tao covered the door and took Xie Yaoxian's purse out of his arms and shook it: "What do you think this is?" ”

Chi Xing took it, only to feel heavy, and it was a delicate purse with a royal blue silk texture and embroidered with five-colored auspicious clouds, and when she opened it, she was startled, and it was full of broken silver!

Chi Xing sank her face: "Where did you come from?" Didn't you pick up something from a guest? Her heart was sour, and she took Chi Tao's hand: "We have to pay it back!" It's useless to let you go out to work to support your family...... But we can't take that kind of money! Seeing that Chi Tao didn't move, she was about to cry: "With such a purse, it must be a rich person, how can you give up?" You're going to find it, and you'll be caught in the yamen! ”

Chi Tao's heart was inexplicably warm, she pulled Chi Xing and whispered, "Sister!" Where do you think of me? This is the young master of the proprietor of our welcome building, who came to Fucheng to study, and fell in love with my cooking skills and rewarded me. I don't have to go to the welcome building to work in the future, just cook some meals for him every day. ”

Chi Xing was skeptical: "When will you be able to cook?" "Although my sister came up with a way to make dried tofu, she knew that she had never let her sister into the kitchen when she was at home!

Chi Tao nodded: "You forgot?" It was all taught to me by my grandfather in his dreams! ”

Chi Xing suddenly realized, and just as she wanted to speak, Chi Tao put her finger on her lips and "shh

Chi Xing hurriedly covered her mouth and nodded, and said in a small voice: "I know, I won't tell anyone." He added: "Achu hasn't gotten up yet." ”

Chi Tao looked at her helplessly: "You spoil her too much, and even bring her food to the bed to eat." ”

Chi Xing smiled: "When I see her, it's like looking at you when I was a child." A little sad again, he touched Chi Tao's hair tied into a men's bun: "It's just that now that Tao'er has grown up, I don't want anything to protect my sister." ”
