Border Cook

Chapter 86 Stupid
He Shunzi has to take care of the people in the kitchen, but Jinbao works at Dexinyuan and has his own relationships and connections to maintain.

He Shunzi doesn't mind selling good things to others.

Jin Bao understood his intention and laughed, "Cheng, Manager Fu, don't worry about Madam Luo and Madam Wang in the kitchen. I promise they will give you a lot and won't let you down."

"I trust you the most." He Shunzi said with a smile, "I'll get you some fresh edamame and peanuts some other day."

Jinbao doesn't have any hobbies on weekdays, and likes to have a drink when he's not on duty.

Drinking naturally requires some side dishes. At this time, the edamame and peanuts in the fields can be boiled. They are fresh and delicious, and more satisfying than meat.

Jin Bao felt his mouth full of saliva just thinking about it, and he quickly agreed.

After He Shunzi left, Jinbao took the clay pot to the kitchen and looked for bowls and spoons to distribute the ice jelly.

Luo, who was in charge of the kitchen, smacked his lips when he saw the ice jelly and said, "Where did you find this rare food? It looks delicious and smells sweet."

"He Shunzi sent it to me, saying it's a new delicacy called ice jelly, and asked me to bring it here to honor you and Madam Wang." Jin Bao replied with a smile, picking up a bowl to pass to Madam Luo, "Madam Luo, try it too, and see how it tastes compared to what you made."

He scooped another bowl for Wang and said, "Madam Wang, would you like to try some too?"

Seeing that the ice jelly had a novel name and looked rare, the two people took it and scooped a spoonful to taste.

Cool and sweet taste, smooth texture...

"This ice jelly tastes delicious." Wang sighed.

Luo ate several mouthfuls in succession and praised it repeatedly, "It's really good, it looks novel, and tastes good, it's sweet but not greasy, it's much better than those mung bean cakes, almond tofu and the like."

"You just said that this was sent by He Shunzi. Was it he who made this food?" Wang asked.

"That kid sent it here, but he said he found it, so it shouldn't be him who did it." Jin Bao said, "I guess it was someone among the farmers who did it. We gave him a gift, and he gave it here as a gift."

He Shunzi usually buys vegetables, eggs and other items from farmers. It is common for some farmers who want to sell more vegetables to curry favor with him.

"When He Shunzi comes to deliver food tomorrow, ask him who made it and see if he can tell you how it was made." Luo said.

He didn't consider at all whether the ingredients for the ice jelly were difficult to find or whether the other party was willing to teach him.

As for the food made by the farmers, it must be not difficult to find it, needless to say. Moreover, these farmers live together according to their surnames, and young girls and wives often get together to discuss the cooking methods. It must not be something that cannot be told.

Based on this consideration, Luo did not think too much about it.

"Okay." Jin Bao agreed readily, holding the earthen jar and empty bowl and going to share some with Manager Fu and the others.

"Hey, hey, hey, give me some more." Luo stopped him.

The ice jelly in the bowl tastes very delicious, how can one bowl be enough?

Jinbao took the spoon and tried to add food to the bowl in Luo's hand.

Luo moved the bowl aside and brought an empty bowl over, "Spoon it in here."

There was still half a bowl in her bowl. If she added more, she could only add half a bowl at most. But if the bowl was empty, it would be different. It would not look good if she scooped less. At least it was the amount of half a bowl.

The more you eat, the better. Jin Bao knew what Luo was thinking, but he didn't expose her. He even filled the bowl with more syrup.

If you have a good relationship with the kitchen, you will get many benefits in the future.

Seeing Jinbao like this, Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Wang smiled knowingly, and after he left, they just continued to eat the ice jelly in their bowls.

The remaining bowl was placed in a basin of water to keep it cool, ready to be eaten after lunch.

Don't mention it, this ice jelly is cool and sweet, it's so refreshing...

Just as the two were feasting, Biyun, who was beside the old lady, came into the kitchen. She looked up and saw the two cooks eating something with relish.

"What delicious food did you get that makes you eat so happily?" Biyun asked with a smile.

Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Wang hurriedly put down their bowls. "Why is Miss Biyun here at this time? But what instructions does the old lady have?"

"The old lady didn't eat much breakfast, and now she feels a little hungry, but she doesn't know what she wants to eat. Mother Gui asked me to tell her that the weather is hot, and she needs to prepare some cool and refreshing food for the old lady."

As Biyun spoke, she glanced at the bowls that the two people put down, "I think this is good, it looks cool and refreshing, so I'll prepare one for the old lady."

Luo Che, "..."

Wang, "..."

Can you say they can't do it?
But if they said it, wouldn't it make them seem a little stupid?
After all, because of the hot weather in recent days, the old lady has a poor appetite and is already quite dissatisfied with the kitchen. Now that their shortcomings have been exposed, it makes the two of them look even more incompetent. It is possible that the old lady will be unhappy and no longer use them.

And there just happened to be a bowl of ice jelly there at that moment. If I didn't take it out and ate it myself, then later on I would be accused of secretly hiding such delicious food and not giving it to the old lady. My crime would be even greater!

But what if the old lady wants another portion after she finishes eating?

Just when the two were hesitant and didn't know how to answer, Biyun narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why, you don't want to do it because you're afraid of trouble?"

"No, no." Mrs. Luo replied hurriedly, "How dare I be so arrogant and lazy, I just want to tell you something in advance. This food is complicated to make and not easy to make successfully. Just now, Madam Wang and I also tasted the flavor to see if it can be accepted by the old lady."

"We have already tasted it and it tastes pretty good. We are going to send it to the old lady right now. However, there is only this much ice jelly available today. If the old lady feels it is good after eating it and wants to eat more, she can do so tomorrow."

I will go find Jinbao later, and ask Jinbao to find He Shunzi, and ask He Shunzi to find someone who can make ice jelly...

I'll probably be able to catch up tomorrow.

Wouldn't everything be fine this way?
Luo was thinking this and winked at Wang.

Wang immediately understood, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what happened."

"Then you guys hurry up, the old lady is still waiting!" Biyun said this lightly and strode away.

Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Wang did not bother to continue enjoying the delicious ice jelly. They just quickly brought out the bowl of chilled ice jelly, put it in a crystal bowl, and placed a few round and large fresh grapes and sliced ​​crisp peaches on the ice jelly.

Since some watermelon is added to the ice jelly, I think other fruits can also be added.

Grapes and peaches are both the old lady's favorites, so I think I can cater to her preferences.
