Metropolitan Water Superintendent Chef Section 27
"Okay you! You fish masters actually eat alone, no, we have to go today. ”
"Go, go, can you let go of the hand around my neck?"
"Peer!"
With that, the guards took Xu Yushi hostage and arrived at the kitchen together.
When they looked at the mighty people standing in the courtyard, they immediately understood that Xu Wu was telling the truth, but when they thought that these people had eaten alone behind their backs for so long, they were still annoyed in their hearts.
Hurriedly let go of Xu Wu in his hand, pushed behind their group, and shouted:
"Since you've all eaten it for so many days, let's taste it first today."
Xu Wu really has nowhere to complain about his suffering, he is bitter in his heart. Obviously, he told them the news by himself, and he betrayed the alliance of the fish master, and now he is actually abandoned, and he is really not a person inside and out!
Therefore, what was finally presented in front of An Yunhuan, Niu Xinlu and Liu Quan was the unusually congested chef.
The second bowl that the three of them had in their hearts disappeared like this, holding the empty bowl in their hands, looking at Zhao Qingyou pitifully.
Zhao Qingyou spread his hands, frowned and said, "It's really gone, the rest of the fish in the warehouse have been made by us in the morning, and now it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice." ”
"Ahh
The three of them could only put down the bowl and spoon in pain, turned away, smelled the umami that had been lingering in the kitchen, and reminisced about the fish balls they had just eaten.
I can't wait to turn back time, and they will definitely savor the bowl of fish balls just now.
An Yunhuan couldn't help but smash his mouth, and began to feel that it was very necessary for them to increase the number of ingredients for breakfast, and the current portion was simply not enough to eat.
He was lucky to be able to eat the first bowl, but he didn't see the kind that didn't even eat the first bowl.
After breakfast, he was not in a hurry to leave, and when Zheng Wan came out of the back kitchen, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile:
"Does Mrs. Zheng feel that the number of breakfast served by the chef is a bit small now? Today, many people do not have their own bowl of fish balls. ”
"Really? But the fish in the warehouse can only make so many fish balls, and the security manager forgives me. ”
An Yunhuan was waiting for this sentence, and immediately said agitatedly: "What breakfast is the lady going to do tomorrow?" A certain can arrange to buy, and the quantity must be sufficient. ”
"Ugh."
In fact, Zheng Wan herself doesn't know what breakfast she will make in the morning, she has seen what ingredients to do these days, just like today's fish balls.
However, she felt that what Steward An said was also very reasonable, such as such an important place as the chef of the water supervisor, it is better to be formal, and eating yesterday's leftovers every day doesn't seem to sound very good.
She thinks back to the breakfast she has made these days, and feels that if she has to show everyone the rich and colorful food culture of later generations, then she must do something different.
"It's better to eat hot dry noodles tomorrow."
Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar name, An Yunhuan was surprised: "Where is the hot dry noodles made?" ”
"It is a famous morning food in Handong County, and there are not many ingredients to prepare, namely flour, pickles, peanuts, sesame oil and sesame paste. These need to be purchased in advance, and as for other materials, they are now available in the warehouse. ”
Hearing that it was the morning food of Handong County, An Yunhuan suddenly realized that Zheng Wan wanted to introduce the food of his hometown to everyone to taste.
Since it is a famous type of dynasty food, with Zheng Wan's excellent craftsmanship, needless to say, the taste can be imagined how delicious it is.
He immediately nodded in response, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, tomorrow the lady will definitely be able to see these ingredients in the warehouse." ”
Zheng Wan looked at Steward An and suddenly showed a satisfied smile, not understanding the feeling of being happy just by hearing a name.
She stood still, was silent for a while, and said, "If Steward An has nothing else to order, then go and go about his own business first." ”
"The lady is at her own convenience."
Zheng Wan is a little unclear, but she is still anxious about her own affairs now, yesterday just blanched the spring bamboo shoots to dry, she forgot to buy the jar for pickled sour bamboo shoots, and now that she has time, she has to go out to buy it quickly.
After going out, I suddenly thought that there was not much firewood left, and immediately chose the destination of this trip to be Nishi.
When she came to the West Market, she finally witnessed the prosperity of Luoyang, there were all kinds of goods in the West Market, and there were also merchants from the Western Regions who could be seen at a glance trading.
Just standing at the door, you can see such a scene, and it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity inside.
However, for her own convenience, she still chose to find someone to buy firewood first, and as soon as she walked into Qunxian Fang, she saw that the man who sold her firewood last time was carrying firewood to the interior of the street.
She hurriedly trotted forward and shouted happily: "Lang Jun, buy firewood." ”
As soon as he heard that someone wanted to buy firewood, Jiang Dalang immediately turned around, and after seeing clearly that the person who spoke was Zheng Wan, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Is it the girl who bought firewood in the capital water supervisor before?"
"Yes, I don't want Lang Jun to remember."
"The girl can call a certain Jiang Dalang, and everyone who buys firewood nearby calls it that. The girl wants to buy firewood, and she can wait for the trip to be delivered. ”
"Don't worry, when are you free, when can you send it to the back door of the water prison, these are two Tongbao. I'll have to go to the West Market later, so I don't have to rush to send it. ”
"I see, the girl can wait, and after an hour, she will definitely be sent to the capital water prison."
Jiang Dalang accepted the money and smiled happily.
Zheng Wan watched the other party walk the streets and alleys to sell firewood, and he was not a person who would deceive people, so he made an appointment with Jiang Dalang at the time and the time to send firewood regularly in the future, and came to the West Market that he was curious about.
There are a wide variety of goods in the West Market, and goods can be bought here, and when she gets close to an area with a particularly strong fragrance, she knows that she has found the right clue.
The grocery store where she bought the pepper before said that the pepper came from the hands of merchants in the Western Regions, so if she bought the pepper directly from them, the price might be more beautiful.
Just when she felt that her eyes were about to be blinded by these colorful goods, she finally found what she was looking for in a corner, not only peppers, but also fresh peppers that had not been dried.
Thinking about the current season, she wondered how the other party had preserved the peppers so well.
The merchant also noticed Zheng Wan's approach, and immediately enthusiastically introduced all the goods he sold in his official dialect that was more authentic than Zheng Wan.
"Girl, don't look at these things, these things look simple, but they are ...... useful"
Zheng Wan listened to the other party's words, with those deep eyes, he felt a sense of separation, quickly interrupted it, and curiously pointed to the pepper on the ground and asked:
"What is this?"
"Huh?"
The merchant was also a little speechless, he introduced his own gems and spices well, why did the guest want to ask the pepper that could not be sold, this time he had no intention of loading it in, and it wasted his position in vain.
So, when he spoke to Zheng Wan, he was no longer enthusiastic just now, and said helplessly:
"This is the pepper we specially brought from the Western Regions, the taste is spicy, and the taste of pepper is similar, do you need it?"
In the end, he still couldn't hide his businessman nature, and began to use the reputation of pepper in the upper class to try to tempt Zheng Wan to buy back the pepper that no one wanted.
Zheng Wan didn't want to be coaxed in front of a fool, so he pretended to be stupid and said, "Then why have you never heard the name of the pepper?" Pepper is said to be only available to the nobles of the gate. ”
"Uh- that's it......"
Well, the merchant himself couldn't continue, so he looked at Zheng Wan directly and said: "This basket of peppers is ten big coins, the lady will take it if she wants it, and leave if she doesn't, and the other guests will buy and sell." ”
Zheng Wan is also afraid that the other party will be angry with him, and this price is very beautiful, even more beautiful than that of the grocery store.
He immediately dug the money out of his purse, put it directly on the merchant's stall, and said with a smile: "Then I want all this, thank you." ”
After speaking, he walked out with the pepper he had just gotten.
The merchant was also very happy, and he sold things at will, and no one wanted that little pepper in their country, and there were still many fools in Luoyang City.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
It can be said that both the buyer and the seller felt that they had taken advantage of this transaction, and they were in a very beautiful mood.
Zheng Wan saw that the goods in the West Market were very rich and cheap, so he hurriedly bought all the other ingredients he needed, and also ate cherry dumplings that were only sold here.
The cherry filling inside is bright in color and sweet, and it still retains its bright red color when wrapped inside, and the outer layer is soft and dense, and the taste is very good.
The familiar feeling of eating while shopping, if everyone spoke Mandarin in later generations, Zheng Wan would definitely think that he had come to some tourist attraction.
Unfortunately, no, she returned to the capital with her full booty.
The guard at the back door saw that she had everything in her hands, and hurried up to help, and said in amazement:
"Is Mrs. Zheng preparing tomorrow's breakfast to make something delicious? I actually went to buy the ingredients myself. Be careful, lady, we'll help you get this thing in, it's out of the way. By the way, someone just came to deliver the firewood that the lady needs, and we have already helped move in. ”
As he spoke, he took the jar from Zheng Wan's hand in a posture of directly taking it away.
Zheng Wan was worried that the jar would break during the scramble, so he quickly let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you two Langjun." ”
"And what's tomorrow's breakfast? Can the lady reveal it secretly? ”
Now, the two of them are all focused on the daily breakfast, and they are not interested in Zheng Wan and Cui Zhiyun's rumors that there will be waves when there is no wind.
Looking at the two of them approaching their heads curiously, Zheng Wan felt that there was nothing that could not be said.
"Tomorrow's breakfast is hot dry noodles from my hometown."
"Wow! Hometown pasta, I don't know where the lady comes from. ”
"It's Handong County in Shannan East Province, and we also like to eat some noodles in the morning."
The two of them were immediately attracted by this place name and began to search for memories of Handong County, but the two had never been out of Luoyang and had no impression of the outside world.
could only pretend to show such an expression, and hurriedly and enthusiastically helped bring the jar and firewood to Zheng Wan's residence.
Seeing that there were still kitchenware here, I immediately understood that Zheng Wan was also a person who was persecuted by Chef Liu, otherwise how could he need to prepare his own kitchenware and secretly cook something delicious.
Suddenly there was a feeling that he was the end of the world, and I couldn't help but wonder when Zheng Wan would be able to take responsibility for every meal of the public chef?
Chapter 27: Spicy Dried Fish
Zheng Wan watched the guards busy coming in and out, and couldn't help but express his gratitude again, "Thank you Lang Jun for your help." ”
"Mrs. Zheng is polite."
Wang Cheng also helped out of gratitude to Zheng Wan for the fish balls he made in the morning and for being able to eat a more delicious breakfast in the future, he was also selfish.
After a few simple words with Zheng Wan, he hurriedly left, if it is counted, his current behavior can be regarded as leaving his post for no reason, If he is caught by Lu Mingzhang, it will not be an easy thing to deal with.
Zheng Wan watched the ingredients in one place and began to organize them, putting those that could not be used temporarily into his room, and the others were stuffed into the cabinet under the eaves.
After everything was done, she quickly took out the jar and peppers she had just bought and washed them.
Wash the chili peppers with water and dry the surface moisture.
The jar is not so easy to solve, in order to make the kimchi in the future can be better preserved, it needs to be sterilized and disinfected in an all-round way.
She boiled a pot of boiling water, aimed at the inside of the jar and washed it continuously, and the hot air kept squeezing out of the mouth of the jar.
