delicious little cook

Chapter 144

Ru Meng and Jin Hu looked at each other, and Qi Qi sneered.

"The girl under the Second Madam is really very respectable. Is she serving as the cook of the public or the chef of the prince?"

"It was originally a borrowed manpower, but is it really their own subordinate?"

"I heard that the second madam is worried about the third young lady's marriage, and I'm afraid it's because of this she's a bit lax." Rumeng is the chief eldest girl next to the old matriarch, and her aura is astonishing enough just by flicking her eyes. .

"Yeah, it's very possible, that's why I blindly encouraged the second lady to use an inappropriate crystal cup as a baking utensil. I dare say that if it is damaged, it will be Bai Kou's fault." Meihuan immediately complained .

"That's right, I even argued with Bai Kou that natural crystals can withstand the heat equivalent to that of a porcelain kiln, but Bai Kou explained to her that it's inappropriate and didn't listen."

"Miss San's birthday is a happy event, and Bai Kou is also dedicated to making desserts. If you can use that crystal cup to make desserts, why bother to borrow this special baking bowl from the East Kitchen? Do you think it makes sense, sisters?"

"Tell her that you have to use the crystal cup. As long as Madam agrees, she is not happy, so she left angrily."

The little girls complained one after another.

"The crystal cup was a gift from others when Duke Xian was still alive. It is said that it was carved out of a whole piece of raw ore. Although the quality of the ore is not high, the value is not low because there is only such a set of cups. Take it out for drinking when entertaining guests. I want to use it in the oven to make snacks. I really want to know who is so messy to give advice to the second lady. I don’t know what it’s like to have some good things in Gongzhong.” Rumeng knew about this set of cups Origin, more and more angry humming.

"Let's not discuss this matter anymore, let the old lady and the wives talk about it." Jin Hu patted Rumeng's hand, and the two were about to leave. Bai Kou quickly gave them a packet of small biscuits, which is the pudding just now I made it with extra whipped cream.

In the afternoon, the young masters came home from school one after another. The sixth young master even ate two puddings and said they were delicious, and brought the rest back to Jicheng Hall. The eldest lady was afraid that he would eat too much cold pudding, so he divided them into two more puddings. One for Gu Hui, she has taken the medicine these days, and her stomach can accept a small amount of custard.

The next day was the tenth day of July, the day of the third lady's birthday. Early in the morning, Huaiyan, another girl next to the second lady, came to look for Bai Kou. The crystal cup was too expensive so I didn't need it, and I used a baking bowl to make the dessert. Twenty pieces are required, and when they are ready, they will be delivered directly. When the guests come, they will have something to eat.

Huaiyan was so sure, Bai Kou naturally followed suit, and it happened that Ji Chengtang washed all the baking bowls taken yesterday and sent them back, and then sent someone to the East Kitchen to borrow ten more, and waited for the third young master to come back. After the breakfast was ready, everyone continued to make pudding, and sent it to the back building of Jixintang, the second room, before the first guest arrived.

The third lady is the first child in the mansion to celebrate her birthday after the official filial piety. The second wife wants to make a big deal, but the third lady is concerned about her age, so she only invites girls from relatives to come to the house for a meal. Have fun in the garden of the building.

The girls from the third room were also invited, so when the second wife's relatives and girls from the Tong clan arrived one after another, the small courtyard in the back building was filled with the laughter of the girls, and the pudding that Gu Wan used to entertain everyone It was well received, and several people ate bowl after bowl.

Tong San Miss Tong Mingli met her aunt and uncle first before she was led into the garden by the girl. The girl behind her was holding a bundled snack box in her hand. The sisters who knew her culinary skills immediately cheered and surrounded her. He opened the dessert box with all his hands and feet, and there was a yellow egg cake inside.

Gu Wan and Gu Chan didn't know what it was at all, but those cousins ​​did, and they were very excited.

"Li Li, you actually learned it secretly!"

"Everyone, try it. I made it this morning. It's very fresh." Tong Mingli picked up one and handed it to Gu Wan, her smile was as bright and pleasant as the sun. The recipe for the cake came from the palace. There is currently only one shop in the entire capital that makes and sells it, and [-] pieces are sold out every day. My sister tried the recipe with great difficulty, and I don’t know if it is suitable. Cousin taste."

"Thank you sister, it's so hot today, my sister must be tired all the way here, my sister has also prepared some pre-dinner snacks, my sister will try it and see if she likes it."

The uncle and cousin felt weird when they first met. The sisters next to them immediately thought of the scene of Tong Mingli and Jiji. The beautiful and innovative steamed buns were exclaimed as soon as they were taken out. Today they look Mingli. Is to save face here.

At that time, Tong Mingli was secretly startled when she saw the pudding. She had studied under six or seven famous cooks and read no less than a hundred cookbooks since ancient times, but she had never seen this special dessert. The better you eat.

Seeing Tong Mingli's attitude at this moment, Gu Wan felt very proud, knowing that the steamed buns made a deep impression on her cousin last time, but after she took a bite of the chicken cake in her hand, she lost the confidence she had built up just now.

This is actually a snack that I learned by stealth. How delicious would it be if it was taught by the master seriously?

The chicken cake brought by Tong Mingli was quickly divided among the girls, one on the left and the other on the right. The front yard was handed over to others and sent to Wenlingyuan.

In Wenling Courtyard, Bai Kou was teaching Meilun the essentials of frying fish, how to fry the fish without breaking the skin. When everyone was serious about learning, the second room's servants rushed into the small kitchen.

"Miss San ordered, make a similar one for teatime in the afternoon." The visitor left behind these words and the distorted cake in his hand, turned around and left.

"What is this?! Can it be eaten?" the girls shouted.

"Miss Tong San brought the dim sum. It's called chicken cake." Bai Kou didn't even need to look carefully, she knew what it was when she saw the shape. When Yu Chubai was a gold-lettered signboard, the young Bai Kou had seen eating it. However, there have been dim sum in the palace for a long time, but they were made smaller at that time, which was convenient for young princes, princesses and noble concubines to eat elegantly. Now it is a new recipe that has been spread among the people.

"It's so ugly! How do you eat it?"

"It was deformed in the hand, and it still looks good." Bai Kou saw that everyone's attention was gone, so she had no choice but to continue frying the fish.

"No! I understand! Third Miss wants Bai Kou to be the shooter!" Meihuan yelled, "I heard that Third Miss Tong is a girl who is very good at cooking!"

The crowd immediately became quiet, looking at each other speechlessly, burying the second wife and the ladies desperately in their stomachs.

"Our third lady's birthday is today, her happy day, don't spoil her face." Bai Kou showed a tolerant and kind face while frying fish.

"But Ms. Tong is an expert in cooking, and our third lady is a complete layman. A layman pretends to be an expert in front of an expert. If this is exposed, won't all layers of shame be lost?"

"Then what can be done, and the risks are their own business. Let's just pretend we don't know. Clear the table. Let's eat whatever we want at noon today. I'll hurry up and make some snacks."

"Bai Kou wants to make this chicken cake? Are you really good at making it?"

"If I don't do it today, I can't get used to this problem, otherwise next time they will give me a troublesome snack and ask me to make it right away, what will I do?"

"Then what about this one?" Everyone looked at the deformed cake with awkward expressions, wanting to try something but couldn't put their mouths down.

"Throw it away, that one is a failure. This recipe was either stolen or the master didn't teach it well. The surface of the cake is collapsed, and the eggs are not completely beaten."

"Bai Kou, you really know how to do it!" The girls jumped up for joy, and immediately threw the cake into the trash basket.

"In the future, there will be new molds for you to eat."

Everyone laughed and laughed, and quickly cleared up the table first, and some people went to the ice cellar to get snack ingredients.
