Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

"let me help you."

Xiao Hong naturally checked the cups, plates and dishes on the side one by one, took out the largest white jade plate and put it on the chopping board, and said softly: "I saw you also used the plate that day, today there must be two or three Ten couples, is this enough?"

Yunzhu looked on the plate and saw that the cream in the glass bowl was almost whipped, so she shook her head and asked Xiaohong to put the fruit plate and sugar water on it first, and said softly: "There are many people, and there are masters and girls. One dish, I’m afraid they won’t like it if it’s taken from a plate.”

The customer is God, and the goal of the worker is to meet the needs of God quietly. It is an essential link to consider issues from the perspective of the other party.

"Let's share two tables and each have their own table, how about it?" Yunzhu suggested, she didn't want to share a table with girls and young masters to eat, the rules are too big and there are many waiters, so it's better to use their own table.

The meat of venison, roe deer, and lamb is put on the barbecue rack... put it in the burning pit with bright fire, or brush honey, or sprinkle salt and pepper. aroma.

The north is cold, and the application of spices is much more exaggerated than the south. This kind of rich or sweet eating method is also very popular among the nobles. Xiaohong sniffed her nose and murmured: "You are right, the second master and they have used up all the spices. It's time to pay respects to the old lady, and you don't have to wait on us, you can just sit down and enjoy it slowly, wouldn't it be more beautiful?"

Yunzhu nodded again and again, thinking about how to turn her head, tanned the kraft paper to make it into a piping bag, and compared the baked ancient cake embryos with a teacup to cut out small round pieces one after another, She doesn't want to eat the leftover cake.

Young masters and girls pay attention to exquisiteness in their daily diet, what could be more exquisite than cupcakes?As she sketched out how to decorate, she cut a piece off the barbecue with a dagger.

Seeing that Yunzhu rolls the shaved barbecue meat and tender vegetable leaves, which is not too big or too small, just enough for one mouthful, Xiaohong doesn't exchange pleasantries, and stuffs it into her mouth in one mouthful behind her back.

After chewing it a few times, he said in a low voice with bright eyes: "Just add some garlic! The second master likes this taste, I'm afraid the girls will find it too boring, how about more milk snacks?"

When the food in her mouth was swallowed, Xiao Hong said again: "It's delicious, if it's served with green sauce, it's even better."

Although the green sauce is called sauce, it is not the green sauce in Western food.Xiaohong refers to a special brewed soy sauce in the south of the Yangtze River. This soy sauce is used to dip meat. When chewed carefully, it has a grassy fragrance, which is very attractive.

However, the green sauce was expensive and scarce, and the small kitchen didn't have much stock, Yunzhu had no choice but to give up this idea, and instead thought of a heresy way to eat it.

The vegetable leaves washed in well water are fresh and tender on the chopping board, but the radish tassels in summer are spicy, even if they are tender and sharp, the taste is more than a little worse than the sweet and crisp after the frost.

Yunzhu thought about the pickles she ate while traveling.

So I temporarily decided on a new dish, which is to take all kinds of fresh tender vegetable leaves, roll them with sautéed sauce and garlic slices, not to mention more with summer!

"Expert! It's just that I have to go up to serve in a while. I don't eat garlic. We will add it in later when we eat by ourselves. In the evening, we will brush our teeth several times with Qingyan, so as not to delay tomorrow." Xiaohong listened happily Yunzhu’s saliva is drooling, she hasn’t tasted this for several years, the scorched meat slices are sizzling and oily, the rolls are covered with sauces and garlic slices, then one roll and another whole, not to mention the taste alright!

Such a rough way of eating was not originally prepared for Jia Baoyu and the others.

In the kitchen, a cup of stewed chicken with chestnuts is prepared for those who can’t eat spicy food. A pot of red, oily boiled fish is the protagonist of the day. Add dry-pot chicken diced, crab roe, tender rice stems, Taishou eight-treasure tofu, sugar Shredded vinegar melon...

It is indeed very homely, even though the kitchen has added a few more dishes according to the order, but compared with the old table full of animals and animals, it is still terribly shabby.

"They are all wealthy people who eat too much big fish and meat." Yunzhu comforted herself, assembled cupcakes one by one, decorated them with flowers, and put them on the ice basin...

Red peony pollen, orange carrot powder, and purple mulberry powder all fell on the cream one after another, or picked, pressed or squeezed, and flowers of various colors grew on the tea cup.

She racked her brains to paint more than [-] kinds of flowers of various colors, which she learned part-time. Although it is not as exquisite as the radishes carved by the chefs, it is better than the simple and cute shape of the cream, and it is also edible. .

After all, no one eats carved radishes.

When No. 20 and five were made, Yunzhu frowned at the remaining three or two cups. This is not enough. How about making a big one for yourself?
"I guessed that the cups are not enough, here, this is a cup for the New Year's banquet. Sister Yuanyang heard that we are busy here, so she specially lent us the stock in the old lady's room, and will return it when it is used up. "

The scraps at the corner were covered with cream, and in a place where no one saw, he gave Xiaohong a mouthful, "It's still about you, I'm so busy that I'm dizzy."

Xiaohong smiled and didn't take credit.

The cooks knew that it was Baoyu who made the call to make a banquet, so they naturally came out in full force, not to be left behind.At the beginning, Yunzhu and the others were just going through the motions, but now when they saw the finished product, they couldn't help being amazed, home-cooked food is fine, and everyone said that they never thought that milk can be tossed like this, which is really an eye-opener.

"Good Yunzhu, whenever the second master is willing to let you go, you can come to our small kitchen, and Mrs. Song will cover you!" The self-proclaimed Mrs. Song patted her chest and said boldly.

"Thank you, Mrs. Song! I will remember it. Today it is all thanks to everyone's help to make this banquet possible." Yunzhu thought for a while, made a bow to everyone to express her gratitude, and then said softly: "This milk dessert I specially made a lot of them, and I originally wanted to invite everyone to taste them.”

"You are welcome, this thing looks ordinary, why is it so fragrant!" Mrs. Song couldn't hold back her greed, and after exchanging pleasantries, she couldn't wait to take a cake from the chopping board. The smooth cream was crumbling on the spoon, and she After taking a bite, the taste in the mouth is as sweet and fragrant as it looks, not to mention the happiness index!
Yunzhu smiled, and put aside the cake that was going to Jia Baoyu and the others, and Xiaohong and the other two personally delivered the remaining dessert to the hands of everyone. Some greedy little girls even bit their tongues.

The two hurriedly poured a few more bowls of the sugar water that had been suppressed. The ancients were fond of sweetness. Although there was a lot of oil and water in the kitchen, they couldn't hold back the longing for sugar in everyone's bones.

This cream cake helped Yunzhu capture a large number of fans in one breath, and the overwhelming compliments from the small kitchen floated over like snowflakes, covering the cheeks of the two little girls flushed.

Yunzhu brought a cake to Xiaohong. The mulberry purple roses were framed lifelike, and the chilled cream was cold and sweet. It was as good as a barbecue for a while.

"If you eat well, let's make some other tricks next time." Yunzhu was thinking about the barbecue, and put down the cake after eating half of it in order to save her stomach.After picking up a lot of cabbage and lettuce leaves, the cook happily helped cut a large bowl of garlic slices.

"You little girl has delicate skin and tender flesh. Let us do this kind of work." Yunzhu snickered, deeply feeling that today's teaching results are very impressive.

At Jia Baoyu's request, the dinner was served in the flower hall, and Wang Xifeng and Tanchun were also present at the table. When Sister Feng saw the cake, she sighed repeatedly: "It's a pity that Sister Shi went on a trip, otherwise she would like to eat it most on weekdays." It's fresh, I don't know how to be happy after seeing such tricks."

Jia Baoyu had just recovered from his trauma, and was at an advanced age. After a few days of being plain, birds had already faded out of his mouth. As soon as he smelled the pungent smell of the boiled fish, he immediately cleaned his hands and sat down. He said: "Although it is a home-cooked dish, the color and aroma are well-prepared. Is this a milk snack? Do you have a name?"

Baoyu never kept the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping.

And it seems that the problem of loving to name people has committed again.

How should this name be interpreted?Yunzhu laughed and hurried forward and said nonsense: "Because eggs are used in the core inside, it is the same way as making rice cakes, but this one is baked first, so it is not easy to call it noodle cake, so We collectively named it 'cake' in private."

"Cake?" Wang Xifeng took a cup of pastry, looked carefully at the patterns on it, lifted it up again, and teased Baoyu, saying: "Look at the cup of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea in the old lady's room. There are many people in your room. Eat one Milk has such flowery heads. Today is a coincidence, if I didn’t come here with my third sister, where would I have such a good fortune?”

After finishing speaking, I took a bite into my mouth. Throughout the ages, desserts have captured countless women, iron and blood like Wang Xifeng, and immediately narrowed her eyes happily, no longer as cold as before.

Tanchun's appetite is not strong, and it's summer again, she is only interested in the plate of sweet and sour melon shreds, and she doesn't know what she is whispering with Baochai.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was racking his brains, Baochai said with a smile, "Just now I was talking about the little lotus leaf and little lotus soup with the third younger sister when I thought of a very appropriate name to go with it. There are some similarities with this 'cake', and it is really crazy to use the most common things to make exquisite things."

Daiyu also pricked up her ears, listened to the whole story, and took a sip with great interest, while Xueyan watched from behind and stomped anxiously.

Fortunately, Daiyu knew that she should not use too much milk, she took a sip and nodded, then put it down, followed by another bite of sweet and sour shredded melon, dipped in green sauce with two mouthfuls of lamb meat, and put down her chopsticks in a lack of interest.

Concentrate on discussing with Baoyu what name to call.

Seeing this, Ping'er came forward to ask Sister Feng thoughtfully, and after a while he said loudly to a small maidservant in the yard: "Today is Baoyu's happy day for you, here are a few of us serving you, and you go on your own." Have fun."

Her words were like an amnesty, Yunzhu shied away a few words, Ping'er laughed that she was a birthday star, there was no need to be busy, and then obediently walked to the flower hall next to the kitchen, where there were two other seats, enough for everyone share.

It was originally intended to be a small gathering of three or five people, but now it has become a Jiang Yunxuan group building.

While enjoying the barbecue, Yunzhu was also anxious, not because of anything else, but because the dinner was held in the name of her birthday, if the girls next to her didn't have such a grand occasion on their birthdays in the future, wouldn't it be a stumbling block? Fuck her?

In addition, when Baoyu said that she wanted to reward, she was both looking forward to gold and afraid of gold.

The originally fragrant barbecue became dull because of the many worries. Yunzhu ate five or six rolls of meat in a row, and half a bowl of rice with boiled fish, then put down the chopsticks and couldn't help sighing. Take the ground and scoop up the cake.

The little maids are not so particular. The northerners have the habit of rolling meat since ancient times, but now they have replaced the noodles with vegetables. With the help of garlic slices, the two things that don’t go well together actually taste better the more they are eaten. The garlic slices, which were despised by everyone at first, were all taken up in a short time.

I don't know who sighed: "In summer, if you have a sip of cold tea and another sip of roast meat, the gods will not change it!"

After hearing this, everyone laughed along with them, drinking and drinking together, it was very lively, the past grievances seemed to vanish in this meal, and Yunzhu, the birthday star, became a short-lived bond of friendship, harmonious and extraordinary.

As soon as she sighed, she saw Ping'er coming in from the outside, and there was news that Sister Feng wanted to see Yunzhu.

Wang Xifeng was shrewd, thinking that the news of eating at Jiangyunxuan would surely be known to other yards soon, so she discussed with Ping'er and gave this 'cake' to several wives and old ladies. .

He even paid out of his own pocket and asked Yunzhu to deliver Fang Zi to her room.

Yunzhu was surprised and flattered at the same time, but still a little dazed.

The sweet potato candy last time made her take advantage of the loophole. Originally, the family wanted to pay her for the prescription. Fortunately, they had a thorough plan at that time and dragged the third brother-in-law's family in. Only then did Jia's family earn an extra 1000 yuan. two silver.

Thinking of the bag of 200 taels of silver in the space, Yunzhu weighed in her heart how much this cake would be worth now, and it would be best if she could buy another thousand 800 taels. Wouldn't she have something for the rest of her life immediately?

However, a few words from Ping'er discouraged her. Ping'er was in the shadow of the tree. She had red lips and white teeth, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a somewhat bewitching expression. country.

"You are the girl by the old lady's side. You will return to the old lady's side sooner or later. If you are rewarded with great fanfare now, I'm afraid you will be hated. But if you are always asked to make snacks in the future, you will not Like the words, listen to my sister's persuasion, and give the prescription to the second grandmother, and the second grandmother will take care of those shallow-sighted ones."

Ping'er was very cautious, presumably the cake had already spread to Jiang Yunxuan, and some people had already grasped the taste of it, maybe someone would come to send her after the show was over.

Right now it is impossible to find an opportunity to go out of the house to find the third brother-in-law. Seeing Ping'er's stretched appearance, Yunzhu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister is right."

To make a successful cake, the focus is not on the materials and steps themselves, but on the whisk.Yunzhu thought about the egg beater she had thrown into the stove, and her mouth curled up unconsciously while chanting Fangzi.

In the evening, when Jia Baoyu talked about the rewards in private, when Yunzhu took the bag of gold leaves, he slapped his head and suddenly realized: "During the day, the second grandma sent sister Ping'er to ask me for the cake. Son, because the tool is broken, now that I think about it, that recipe is incomplete!"

Baoyu is a bitch, so she frowned immediately when she heard this, thinking that this little girl has a lot of eyes, and now she is singing a series of tricks with him.
