Chef of the Metropolitan Water Superintendent Section 3
People in this era don't know cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and if she hadn't taken the opportunity to spit out the river water she drank in, she would have really died.
It is said that this cow fish master should be her life-saving benefactor, but it is a pity that the life-saving benefactor actually thinks that she is the cause of her injury, she must thank her, and strive to pay off the medicine she paid in advance as soon as possible.
Chapter 3: Worship
The next day, under the persuasion of Zhao Qingyou, Niu Xinlu appeared in front of Zheng Wan with a decoction.
As soon as he saw someone, Niu Xinlu bowed his head and said apologetically: "I know that I am guilty of a deep sin, and I ask the lady to forgive me." β
The posture was so shocking that Zheng Wan ignored his body that had not yet healed, stood upright, and stretched out his hand to help the Niu Yu Master up.
"The cow and fish master doesn't have to be like this, if it wasn't for the fish master, I'm afraid my life would be in danger. The impact of the fish master just knocked out the river water in the child's belly, and the child should thank the fish master for saving his life. β
Hearing this, Niu Xinlu and Zhao Qingyou glanced at each other a little confused, and then looked at Zheng Wan with a brush.
Seeing her serious expression, I began to doubt myself a little.
There was silence in the room for a while, but Niu Xinlu still couldn't forget the wound he caused Zheng Wan, and said solemnly:
"No matter what, the wound on the lady's head is caused by a certain cause, and a certain cannot be ignored, just wait for the lady to heal."
Seeing that stubborn look, Zheng Wan didn't know what to say, she gestured with her eyes, and asked Zhao Qingyou to persuade Niu Xinlu not to take this matter to heart and form her own burden.
Zhao Qingyou shook his head again and again at Zheng Wan's eyes, saying that he couldn't do anything.
At this moment, Zheng Wan had no choice but to take Niu Xinlu's face seriously, bowed deeply, and said solemnly:
"Zheng Wan dare not forget the life-saving grace of the fish master, and when he recovers, he will find a job to support himself, and he will return the medicine money paid by the fish master as soon as possible."
Niu Xinlu was also a little flustered suddenly, and waved her hand again and again in a panic, "The lady doesn't have to be so ......"
He was also a little skeptical of the doctor's diagnosis, and suddenly felt a little comfort, no matter whether Zheng Wan said the truth or falsehood, the boulder that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he also secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must strive to make Zheng Wan recover, such a little lady who is like a flower and jade, it is not a good thing to lie on the couch for a long time.
I don't know what kind of tacit understanding a few people reached, and in the next few days, Zhao Qingyou still took care of Zheng Wan according to the entrustment of the cattle and fish master.
And Zheng Wan also combined the miscellaneous meals in the back kitchen sent by Zhao Qingyou every day with the meals in his memory, and came to a conclusion, that is, this dynasty did not even appear to stir-fry, either steamed or boiled, and the seasoning was also limited.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such a bland and tasteless meal, or even a little hard to swallow.
She is also in such a comfortable and painful day, and finally ushered in the day of her liberation, able to get out of bed and move freely, as long as she does not shake her head, there will be no major problems.
The first thing she decided was to go outside the city to worship her parents.
Zhao Qingyou didn't feel strange when she heard it, this dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and Zheng Wan's performance seemed reasonable in her opinion.
even took the initiative to help Zheng Wan prepare gifts for worship, and personally took her to the tombs outside the city.
On the day of departure, Zheng Wan gently patted the gown and skirt on his body in front of the clothes reflected in the wooden basin, saying that the clothes made of linen are breathable, the only drawback is that it is a little rough, and the touch on the skin is very strong.
Just when she was still admiring her ancient costume, Zhao Qingyou had already come to the door, looking at Zheng Wan, who had recovered from her illness, even more so with envy and worry in her heart.
Seeing that Zheng Wan still had a tendency to continue to delay, he quickly interrupted:
"Mrs. Zheng, I'm ready to go."
Hearing the voice, Zheng Wan immediately stopped his movements and showed a sweet smile at Zhao Qingyou, "Sister Qingyou, I'm coming." β
After that, he took Zhao Qingyou's arm and walked out of the back door of the capital water prison together, followed the alley in the middle of the market, and walked all the way out of the city.
Along the way, Zheng Wan can be regarded as seeing the prosperity of this dynasty, not only the residents of this dynasty on the street, but also the Hu people, with three-dimensional facial features, you can see the difference at a glance.
The streets and alleys are full of shouting, and there are ox carts and horses coming and going on the road.
Zhao Qingyou thought that Zheng Wan was seeing the grand scene of the capital for the first time, and he didn't interrupt her soundly, and even deliberately lowered the speed under his feet, so that Zheng Wan could see the scene in the market more clearly.
After a while, the two walked to the Golden Light Gate out of the city, and the guards at the city gate briefly checked their identities and let the two go.
There was no temptation to go out of the city, and the two soon appeared in front of the tomb of Zheng's father and Zheng's mother.
Zhao Qingyou explained: "The passenger ship caused dozens of casualties due to the fire and water leakage of bandits, except for the relatives who want to solve it by themselves, the others are buried here, and everyone also specially buried you Aya Aniang together, and the lady will stay alone for a while, and the child is waiting not far away." β
After handing over the things in his hand to Zheng Wan, he turned around and left.
As soon as Zheng Wan saw the filial daughter standing on the wooden sign, she really didn't know what to say, and thought: Their family should have been reunited in another place, right?
Take out the incense candle paper money in the bamboo basket, make a fire and burn it, and then take out the white flesh and melons and fruits prepared inside, and place them together in front of the tomb.
The green smoke from the incense, candles, and paper money, moving with the wind, circled around the tomb a few times before flying into the distance.
Zheng Wan prayed sincerely for their family and worshipped seriously, until all the incense, candles, paper and money prepared were burned before getting up.
After squatting on the ground for too long, she suddenly got up, her brain was not supplied with enough blood, and her body toppled uncontrollably, but she quickly returned to normal.
In the eyes of Zhao Qingyou in the distance, Zheng Wan missed her deceased relatives, and she was too sad to see the tomb, especially when she saw Zheng Wan's smoky red eyes, her heart was even more moved, and she couldn't help but comfort:
"Si people have passed away, what we have to do is to live our own lives, Zheng Niangzi, you are still young, you don't have to be too immersed in grief in your good years."
As soon as Zheng Wan wanted to explain, he saw Zhao Qingyou show an expression that I understand.
Well, now you don't need to explain anything, no matter what you say, she will use her consciousness to help you justify yourself.
So, the two returned to the backyard of the Dushui Prison in silence.
But what Zheng Wan didn't expect was that she not only explained that she was "reasonable" and resolved by Zhao Qingyou, but even her offer to make a meal by herself to thank Zhao Qingyou for taking care of her these days was also refused.
Zhao Qingyou looked at Zheng Wan, who had always wanted to repay his kindness, and was also helpless, pushing Zheng Wan's back and saying:
"Your body has not fully healed, and today you went out of the city to worship your parents, and your son is also for the sake of a filial piety. But for the rest, the lady really doesn't have to be in a hurry, when she is in good health, there is always room for the lady to play. β
As he spoke, he pushed Zheng Wan back into the room and closed the door in front of Zheng Wan.
So, for the next period of time, Zheng Wan always recommended his craft to Zhao Qingyou.
Finally one day, Zhao Qingyou really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, thinking that Zheng Wan's body was estimated to be half better.
But before leaving for the kitchen, she still instructed Zheng Wan.
"The ingredients of the public chef can't be moved by us as handymen, so the ingredients that the lady can make are very limited, if you feel embarrassed, the lady can cut off her thoughts. Also, it's almost time to prepare the handymen to prepare breakfast, and the lady's movements must be fast. β
"Sister Qingyou don't have to worry, her cooking skills are still okay, and in the past, her children were responsible for the meals at home."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingyou was still a little difficult to break Zheng Wan's illusions.
Before she came to the chef of the water superintendent, she thought that she had mastered her skills at home, but when she saw the amazing knife skills and exquisite cooking skills of the chefs, and she couldn't even get on the stove, she realized that she was just a frog at the bottom of the well, and it was her luck to be able to handle the ingredients.
So when the two appeared in the back kitchen, Zhao Qingyou looked sad, and Zheng Wan was very excited.
When they came to the back kitchen, the two found that there were only the dough prepared in advance last night and the eggs in the back kitchen.
Zhao Qingyou was not surprised to see this scene, the ingredients supplied by their kitchen every day were fixed, and the unused ones would be stored in the warehouse, and there was no extra grain in the kitchen.
Zheng Wan looked at such a simple ingredient, and suddenly had a good idea in his heart, and said to Zhao Qingyou:
"Sister Qingyou, you help make a fire and make a simple clear soup cake, although the method is simple, but the taste is not bad."
As she spoke, she moved her hand to the dough on the side, according to her estimate, the breakfast prepared today was not only a cake but also a scone, so that such a large dough could be used.
She is not greedy, she took out the amount of three people, according to her observation these days, her share is also in it, plus Niu Yushi and Zhao Qingyou, the three people are just right.
The dough looked particularly obedient in Zheng Wan's hands, and she was allowed to knead it flat and round, and it turned into a long strip in her hand after a while.
Then the long dough suddenly smashed on the board, and the sound attracted Zhao Qingyou, who was on fire, and she stood up and found that the original dough gradually turned into a long strip, and then split into two, two and four......
endlessly, and even in the end, she couldn't see how many roots Zheng Wan had in her hands with her own eyes.
This is the first time she has seen this way of making rope cakes.
At the same time, she was also ashamed of her suspicion of Zheng Wan's idea just now, and now that she saw that Zheng Wan had really made achievements in cooking, the method of making this cake was not something that ordinary people could know.
When she was stunned, Zheng Wan had already finished making the ramen noodles in her hand, and finally sprinkled the noodles with flour to prevent sticking, placed them neatly on the board, and asked Zhao Qingyou on the side:
"Sister Qingyou, is it on fire?"
The voice immediately woke Zhao Qingyou up, she wiped her hands in a panic, and replied, "Okay." β
"Thank you."
While talking, Zheng Wan observed the movement in the wok, and reached in to feel the temperature, and noticed that the temperature was coming to sixty percent hot, and quickly poured in the oil that moistened the bottom of it, and watched the mutton fat melt in the wok, and the temperature continued to rise.
She quickly knocked an egg into it, and the moment the egg collided with the high-temperature mutton fat, the protein instantly denatured, exuding an enticing fragrance.
At the same time, the woks were also sizzling, and fierce movements erupted, attracting Zhao Qingyou to look his head towards the place where the sound came from.
She saw that Zheng Wan actually effortlessly scooped up the whole fried egg, and changed the other side to continue frying.
To be honest, this was the first time she had seen someone make a meal like this, and the eggs didn't stick to the bottom with so little oil.
This is also a trick that Zheng Wan exercised in her previous life, she doesn't like the burnt brown feeling that can't be formed by non-stick pans, and she doesn't like the greasy taste of too much oil in the iron pan, which is the result of a long time of practice.
Chapter 4 ConsommΓ© Cakes
Then, under Zheng Wan's skillful skills, three whole poached eggs overflowing with charred aroma were baked.
But after frying the last egg, she didn't take the egg out of the wok, but poured a scoop of water directly into it, and the cold water reacted strongly with the hot wall of the wok, and a stream of water vapor gushed out of her mouth.
She hurriedly took Zhao Qingyou, who was watching closely, back and explained:
"Sister Qingyou, it's not good to be burned by this steam, stand back a little."
With that, he put the other two eggs in the bowl down together.
And Zhao Qingyou, who was persuaded by Zheng Wan to retreat, was still a little unable to come back to his senses, and subconsciously squatted down and increased the fire, which was a great favor for Zheng Wan.
Soon, under the attack of the fire, the clear water in the wok quickly turned into a pale white soup, and there was a situation that became more and more intense as time passed.
Zheng Wan didn't delay, quickly took three large bowls, added salt and soy sauce to them, and other condiments were not found for the time being, so they could only be put on hold for the time being.
It's just that after she did this, she suddenly remembered that there were no vegetables in the noodles, she really miscalculated, and hurriedly asked Zhao Qingyou:
"Sister Qingyou, are there any leftover wild vegetables in the back kitchen? It tastes better with a little wild vegetables. β
Zhao Qingyou thought about it for a while, "The wild vegetables are freshly picked from outside the city every day, Master Liu said that it tastes bad overnight, if there is any leftover, it is estimated that it has been discarded in the bamboo basket on the left side of the door, can the lady go to find it?" β
Hearing this, Zheng Wan's heart was immediately moved, the smile on his face flashed, and he said a little embarrassed:
"Sister Qingyou shouldn't mind eating some leftovers like this, right?"
