delicious little cook

Chapter 669 Sweet Taste
Bai Kou heard the news in the kitchen and made some quick snacks for them to send over. By the way, he asked them where the men planned to eat at noon.

Wei Qian firmly stated that he was here to eat to improve the food. Since he had a rest today but only came over after breakfast at home, Bai Kou decided to make some delicious dishes at noon to comfort him.

The kitchen was busy step by step, another guest came to the camp, a carriage came directly outside the kitchen, and the one who got out of the carriage was Miss Shao Wu, Shao Xinwei, Wei Qian's fiancée.

"Bai Kou, long time no see."

"Miss Shao Wu, long time no see, sitting in the dining room, why come over today when you are free?"

"I have something to ask you."

"Fifth Miss, please don't say that, it's a shame."

"You haven't gone to the big camp today, have you? The people who ate three sets of geese from you last night are still praising you, so you deserve a word of supplication."

"So Miss Fifth wants to learn cooking?"

"You know I'm engaged now, and I want to join the Pomegranate Society."

"Miss Wu is asking for the wrong person. The president of the Pomegranate Club is Princess Chengjun, and the vice president is Miss Tong Mingli. You just need to tell Miss Tong if you want to join the club."

"Didn't the girls from the Pomegranate Society cause a disturbance a few days ago, and now they are all grounded by their families, and they are not allowed to go out and walk around before returning to the capital."

"It's so strictly restrained?"

"Hey, who told them to offend the princess of Yu Wang's family? It's also their fault that they were careless and didn't restrain their subordinates. Those servants are all specially following them out. One of the criteria for selection is to be careful and keep their mouths shut. , As a result, you can see that someone obviously forgot the rules, but until now no one has admitted that their mouths have leaked, and I am afraid that when they return to the capital, the servants of each of their families will be cleaned."

"There is always a price to be paid for doing something wrong. The masters have collectively taken responsibility, so naturally they have to find the subordinates to settle the score. Even if some of them are wronged, there is no way.

"Yes, so those girls are all grounded now. Even if I go to tell Tong Mingli to join the club now, it's meaningless. I might as well come to you."

Bai Kou scratched her chin thoughtfully, looked at Shao Xinwei and smiled ambiguously, laughing so hard that Fifth Miss Shao didn't dare to look back at her.

"Why are you smiling like that?"

"Master Wei Qian came here on the front foot, and you will arrive on the back foot. Well, how about a reasonable association?"

"No, I'm so ashamed."

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, what do you want to learn? Desserts or vegetables?"

"I can't stay here for long, just learn some refreshments."

"If you can stay for a long time, you actually want to cook a meal by yourself?" Bai Kou winked her eyes mischievously, and Shao Xinwei's girl couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"Oh!" Shao Xinwei was so teased by Bai Kou, she covered her face with her hands and stomped her feet repeatedly, "I didn't realize you were so good at telling jokes before."

"Because idleness is idleness."

"If you tease me again, I will sue Gu Shizi."

Now it was Bai Kou's turn to hold her face and smile, Shao Xinwei immediately realized that it would not work to file a complaint when she saw her like this.

"You can rely on Gu Shizi to spoil you, but you deserve it, so stop laughing."

"I'm not laughing. Fifth Miss, you can tell me what you want to learn. You can prepare the material after you say it."

"Wei Qian said that the city defense battalion practiced very hard every day, and their muscles were sore every day. In the first half of the year, Gu Shizi and the others played polo. In the finals, did you make any special snacks for them to persevere until the end when they were so tired? "

"Well, it's that one. In fact, it's very simple to put it bluntly. It's mainly fruits, vegetables and beans. By the way, I ate up all the sweet potatoes in the cellar. I think the food of the city defense camp is nothing more than these."

"What about chicken, duck and fish? Don't you want to eat it?"

"Eat, of course you have to eat. Those are foods that maintain muscle strength and are also very important, but eating those just after training will increase fatigue. By the way, Master Wei Qian only comes home once a month in the city defense camp. Fifth Miss, you Even if you want to care about his diet, it’s beyond your reach, does he have a new transfer?”

Shao Xinwei glanced at Bai Kou in surprise, then laughed again.

"As long as you are smart, you can guess right."

"Oh? Got promoted? After all, Master Wei Qian has a reputation as a martial artist, he won't always be a low-level soldier."

"Well, the promotion to Centurion after the next year has not been announced yet, but it has already been decided. The reason is the same as what you said. He has a reputation as a martial artist. Starting from a low-level soldier is just to let him familiarize himself with the military environment. The time is ripe. It went up."

"Oh, congratulations."

"Congratulations, what did I do? It's not my happy event."

"Then I go over to say congratulations now?"

"No more." Shao Xinwei was afraid that Bai Kou would really leave, so she hurriedly held her back, "It's getting late, teach me how to make dim sum."

"What do you want to learn? Sweet, salty? Steamed, fried, grilled, fried?"

"Wei Qian, he likes to eat red bean soup, and he feels embarrassed to let people know that big men like sweets."

"It's normal. He is a martial artist. His future is to be a military officer. To be brave and resourceful, you need to use your brain for strategy. If you use your brain too much, you will want to eat sweets. This is completely a normal human body law. There is nothing to be ashamed of." .”

"But what he likes to eat is the very sweet one, with brown sugar in it."

"Is it the kind of sweet soup where the red beans should be boiled with sand, brown sugar, and glutinous rice dumplings?"

"you know too?"

"I know if you say that." Bai Kou rubbed his hands, "Miss Wu, it's a coincidence that you came here. We soaked red beans last night and used them to make red bean paste today. I just took some out to cook this sweet soup and gave it to the people in the tent. One bowl per person, how about it? The red beans are ready-made, and it doesn’t take too much time to knead the glutinous rice balls, if you do it now, it will take two quarters of an hour.”

"Okay." Shao Xinwei stood up excitedly, "I'll make glutinous rice dumplings."

"Then I'll make red bean soup. Let's wash our hands first."

Bai Kou took Shao Xinwei to wash his hands, and at the same time told the cooks to prepare the ingredients to be used, then Shao Xinwei used warm water and glutinous rice flour in the restaurant, and Bai Kou cooked red bean soup in front of the stove.

Fortunately, red beans are ready-made, so this sweet soup did not take too much time to complete. The soup color is also very good after adding brown sugar, exuding a strong aroma of brown sugar. In fact, white sugar or rock sugar is also possible, each has its own flavor.

After the sweet soup was cooked, put it into a food box, and Bai Kou took Shao Xinwei to the tent.

Gong Changji's tent was bustling with excitement, a group of big boys said jokes that made people laugh out loud without any scruples.

Bai Kou announced through the curtain, and brought Shao Xinwei in, followed by several cooks carrying food boxes, and shared a bowl of sweet soup for each of them.
