Adorable Food Goddess Chapter 43: Show 2 hands
After walking for almost four or five miles, I saw a village, with hundreds of households in the size of a large village.
"This is Lijiazhuang. Most of the people in the village have the surname Li. Our owner is the rich man in the village, who is in the medicinal material business. Oh, yes, we also have business dealings with Jinling. Brother Li, if this wedding banquet is held Good, you can go back to Jinling with our caravan." Steward Li said.
"Really?" Ye Jiayao was overjoyed. If he could follow Li's caravan, he wouldn't have to work so hard along the way.
He Lianjing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Jiayao hopingly, as if saying: Brother Jin, this time it all depends on your skills.
Li's family was decorated with lights and colorful lights. Many guests had already visited the house. The housekeeper Li took Ye Jiayao and He Lianjing to change into clean clothes. Poor Xiao Jingjing finally didn't need to wear cropped trousers.
A dozen women in the kitchen are busy, the ingredients are already ready, and they are waiting for the cook to make them.
Ye Jiayao wants to take a look at the menu drawn up by the original chef, Lao Mingtou. There is no major problem. She can cook chicken, duck and fish, but the names of these dishes are a bit common and cheesy.
So he asked Steward Li for pens and paper, and made a new menu.
The whole chicken was changed to Fengming Xianghe, the roast duck was changed to double-flavored duck, and the family portrait of the delicacies of mountains and seafood was changed to the full of friends, and the celery and lily fried shrimp named Hundred Years Haohe, and so on.
He Lianjing was dumbfounded when he watched from the sidelines. This guy is used to speculating and doing his best. He doesn't know if the things he made are worthy of this nice name.
"Housekeeper Li, please take this menu to your owner for consideration. If possible, I will follow suit." Ye Jiayao gave the prepared menu to Housekeeper Li.
Butler Li left happily, and came back soon, and said with a smile: "Our owner said, this menu is very well drawn up, and he is very satisfied. Please Li Xiaoge to follow suit."
Speaking, butler Li also took out two red envelopes: "This is our owner's reward."
Ye Jiayao pushed and said: "This banquet hasn't been done yet, how can I ask your boss for a reward?"
Butler Li said: "Our boss said, just by looking at this menu, you know that brother is a connoisseur, you can't go wrong, brother take it, and ask for good luck."
Ye Jiayao accepted it embarrassingly and handed it to He Lianjing.
He Lianjing held the red envelope, and admired Ye Jiayao about the five-body throwing to the ground, and she kept saying help, earning a reward without making any changes.
The menu is over, the reward is taken, Ye Jiayao puts on her apron and starts to do it.
First take a half-heavy hen that has been killed. This hen is delicious no matter what the method is, the meat is not too tender or too old.
Ye Jiayao skillfully deboned the whole chicken, which shocked He Lianjing again. This skilled knifeman is not capable of bragging.
Excluding the skeleton chicken, which is soft, Ye Jiayao brushed the mixed condiments inside and out with a brush, then took the peeled chestnut and the boiled quail eggs and put them on Add the remaining seasoning, stir well, and leave ten chestnut kernels for serving on the plate, and stuff the rest into the belly of the chicken. The stuffing is bulging, which means more generations.
Tie the chicken neck into a steamer and steam for 40 to 50 minutes.
"Xiaojing, you can help check the time." Ye Jiayao gave him a task, saving him nothing to do. The key is that she is still a little rusty about the ancient time conversion, so she left it to the ancients to handle it.
He Lianjing moved a chair and sat upright on the side, staring at the steamer intently. He also took the silver reward and had to do something.
Ye Jiayao wanted to laugh when he saw that he was serious and serious, really a simple child.
A dish is ready, and Ye Jiayao starts to make a pair of wings.
Chop the shrimp meat, mix it with chopped green onion, and adjust the taste. The duck is ready to roast. The duck skin is sliced and cut into a rectangle. The eggs are beaten into liquid and spread out to form a thin and even egg skin. Shape the same into a rectangle. Then roll the prawn paste into it and dip it in egg liquid. There is no bread crumbs at the moment, so I have to roll it on with crunchy almond chips and fry it in the pan.
The characteristic of this dish is that it is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, double-rolled and double-flavored, crispy and refreshing.
But for officials, the highlight lies in Ye Jiayao's parquet skills.
The tomatoes are removed from the naan, and they are cut into thin strips about two centimeters wide. A blooming flower is placed on the plate, and the green cucumber peel is cut into filaments to form a leaf shape, red flower With green leaves, golden fried, neatly sized double rolls, a delicate double-flavored duck roll is completed.
The women who helped in the kitchen looked straight, and exclaimed, after all, it is the cook from the Jinan Fu restaurant. This craftsmanship is really not built. Not only is it tasteful but also beautiful, it makes people look at it. Slobber.
Ye Jiayao has fast hands and feet, frying, frying, cooking, deep-frying, steaming, boiling, stuffing, simmering, and carving platter. Eighteen martial arts are all on the battlefield. Ten dishes are started together. The overall arrangement is busy and not chaotic. The shortest time was done in one go.
He Lianjing's eyeballs can't turn quickly. Brother Jin's posture and aura when he cooks, as if the whole person is shining, he is the king here, in control of everything, and a pair of wonderful hands turns corruption into magic. This cooking skill means that he is the chef of Wangxianlou and no one dares to question it. He Lianjing couldn't help but had an idea, and when he returned to Jinling, he would let Brother Jin go to the palace as a chef and cook for him. That would be the best of both worlds.
Housekeeper Li came in to check and saw a plate of dishes that were so exquisite that they could hardly bear their lips. He couldn't help but slap his tongue. When he looked at this little brother, his eyes were different. Good deed, this cooking skill, The most famous Lao Mingtou in this area can't count how many streets he threw.
Secretly rejoicing that I found the right person today.
When the auspicious hour arrives, the banquet is opened, the crowd is full of people outside, the gongs and drums are noisy, Ye Jiayao and He Lianjing, as well as the women who help cook, eat in the kitchen.
Helianjing only then enjoyed Ye Jiayao's meticulously cooked food.
Fengming is peaceful, the chicken wrapped in chestnuts and quail eggs has been steamed and braised for a long time, fully absorbing the fragrance of chestnut, and the chestnut has absorbed the juice of the chicken, the chestnut is rich and the meat is mellow.
Hundred years of harmony, the refreshing taste of celery, the sweetness of lily, and the freshness and smoothness of shrimps combine with a unique flavor.
The crowd is full of friends, bringing together sea cucumber, abalone, fish lips, fish maw, and fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms.
"Jin..."
As soon as He Lianjing opened his mouth, Ye Jiayao glared at him, and hurriedly changed his words: "Brother, I haven't seen you for many years, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Ye Jiayao grinned: "Of course, the master often praises me for my talent in cooking. No matter what kind of dish, I just look at it and I can find it."
Ye Jiayao deliberately bit the word elder brother very hard, boasting a lot.
He Lianjing rolled her eyes as she did, and said to her heart: "Looking at you like a seducer, can't you be humble and reserved?" Not afraid of people making jokes.
Turning to look at those women, she didn't mean to laugh at all, but looked at Brother Jin with an admiring expression.
Helian Jing rolls his eyes again in surprise, a group of ignorant women.
Ye Jiayao put him a quail egg: "Eat more, this is very nutritious, you are when you grow up."
It's completely an attitude of elder brother caring for younger brother, which drew those women can't help admiring, and even the impulse to deceive this young man into being a son-in-law.
He Lianjing also put an egg for her and took the opportunity to tease: "Brother, you also eat more. Look at you. After a few years of being a cook, I don’t know how to grow up. I thought you were my brother!"
Ye Jiayao disagrees: "Xiaojing, to be a human being, the most important thing is to learn some skills. If you have a skill, you can eat everywhere. Otherwise, if you only grow up, you don't have the skills. We don't have the life of a wealthy dude. ."
The women nodded one after another in favor of Ye Jiayao's statement.
He Lianjing is depressed again, and both left and right can't talk about her, and can't even ask for the cheap.
After a while, butler Li came back again, smiled, and said, "Brother Li is good at craftsmanship, and the guests are full of praise, saying that he has never had such a good banquet. The host is very happy, saying yes. I will see you two after the wedding."
Ye Jiayao humbly returned the gift: "Everyone is satisfied."
Secretly raised an eyebrow at He Lianjing, as if to say: Look, brother is amazing!
Helianjing turned his eyes away expressionlessly, and hummed in his heart: Make you beautiful...
After the dinner, Rich Lord Li specially invited Ye Jiayao to go there, verbal thanks and heavy thanks ~ IndoMTL.com~ a full dozen silver.
Twelve taels of silver. He Lianjing wouldn’t lift his eyelids before putting it on. Isn’t it a special time now? They are all going crazy, and the ten taels of silver will become precious, and it’s not good to be happy. From ear to ear.
Ye Jiayao gave him a disgusting look, Xiao Jingjing, although your dimples are beautiful, but the corners of your mouth are almost reaching the roots of your ears. This is shameful, don’t you? Anyway, you also came out of the gold and silver den, isn't it just ten taels of silver? As for this?
Someone completely forgot the embarrassment of rolling from the couch to the ground happily when he won ten taels from the stupid donkey.
"The butler said that you are going to Jinling. It happens that my caravan is going to Yangzhou in three days. You can stay with me for a few days, let's go together!" Rich Lord Li sent an invitation.
Ye Jiayao said: "Then dare to love, you can cook for the caravan along the way."
As a human being, you must reflect your own value as much as possible, and you can’t always think of taking advantage of others, and that diligent people will be welcome wherever they go.
This night, the two of them can finally sleep in a comfortable bed.
But Ye Jiayao started to worry.
Mao? Because she introduced to others that she and Xiao Jingjing are brothers, they only arranged a room with only one bed in the room.
Although she and Xiao Jingjing have also been in the same bed, it is a Datong shop, with a dozen people sleeping on each bunk, which is different.
Now I want her to sleep in the same bed with Xiao Jingjing, a man and a widow, this... not only is there a psychological barrier, but there is also the risk of revealing things.
He Lianjing saw the big bed spread out and lay on the bed, and said with emotion: "Every day the temple is shattered and the pavilion sleeps, I almost forget what it is like to sleep on the big bed."
Ye Jiayao watched him roll over on the bed with a sad face, Nima, my old lady wants to roll too!
