Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 13 Doubt
While the two were talking, they arrived at the kitchen in the courtyard.Ding Wei has loved cooking since she was a child, and she has a natural affinity for the kitchen. Seeing the clean and spacious kitchen, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Although Uncle Yun really wanted to say something more, he restrained himself. It is not good to be too attentive when meeting for the first time.So he pointed to the kitchen lightly and said with a smile, "This is where you will work in the future, what items are you missing?"

Ding Wei raised her legs and walked in, casually putting down the small box that had never left her body.Finally, I looked around carefully, and saw that the stove was neat and clean, and the kitchen utensils were all available, neatly placed.There was even a little girl sitting and taking a nap in the corner.

When Xu Shi heard the movement, the little girl jumped up in a hurry, at a loss as to what to say.

Ding Wei smiled slightly, turned to Uncle Yun and said, "Everything is fine, if there is something missing in the future, I will talk to Uncle Yun again."

Uncle Yun glanced at the small box next to Ding Wei, guessing that the cook always has his own kitchen utensils.So without asking any further questions, he pointed to the little maid and said, "I have assigned you a rough envoy. Xiaoqing, come here and see Miss Ding."

Xiaoqing was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a mediocre appearance, and a look of naivety in her brows and eyes. Now she timidly stepped forward to greet her.

Ding Wei was a little flattered, never thought that as a cook, she would get a rough maid before she even started working, so she quickly refused, "Uncle Yun, I just come here occasionally for a meal, and I don't need to be a maid. right?"

"On weekdays, Xiaoqing also does odd jobs in this kitchen. When you come, I will help you out without delay."

Uncle Yun smiled and threw out the excuse he had prepared a long time ago. After all, Ding Wei is a healthy person. He did everything possible to invite her here for the convenience of raising his body. How can he do rough work?

Ding Wei felt a little relieved when she saw Uncle Yun take it for granted.It turns out that working in the mansion is so easy and the wages are high, she really found a treasure.

After Uncle Yun left the yard, Ding Wei put aside her messy thoughts and fiddled with bottles and jars filled with various seasonings for a while, and soon became familiar with this kitchen, which is much more spacious than at home.

She is not that impolite person, she felt that Uncle Yun took care of her, so she pondered on Lulu's craft and made some delicious food in return.

It's just after noon, and there is still plenty of time. If you do the preparations, Master Yun will be able to have afternoon tea after taking a nap.

When she thought about it, this young master of the Yun family probably had a slight anorexia, and at worst he had a poor appetite.If the snack in the afternoon was made sweet and greasy according to the routine, he probably wouldn't even touch it.Thinking this way, she decided to make a simple and refreshing spring pancake.

Obviously, the Yun family is not short of money, and there are all kinds of ingredients in the kitchen, and Ding Wei can't wait to start working.

Xiaoqing is a silent girl, she never speaks on her own initiative, but fortunately she is very familiar with the kitchen, she knows where everything is kept, and she also answers Ding Wei's questions.

Ding Wei was very satisfied, thinking about observing for a while, if this girl's character is really good, she will support her more in the future.

While thinking like this, she swiftly sieved the starch and flour, then added water, fine salt, and egg juice, stirring vigorously in the same direction, and finally got a small half pot of batter, which she put aside to wake up.The white and tender bean sprouts and the slightly green wild vegetable cores are blanched in water together until soft.Then cut a bowl of shredded pork and marinate for a while, add bean paste to fry in oil pan, and the stuffing is ready.

Wei'er opened the small box and took out a small frying pan. In this era, there are not many stove utensils, and sometimes she finds it very inconvenient.Fortunately, the family is not short of several hundred copper coins now, so she drew a few samples and pestered Brother Ding to help him go to the city to order a pair.It just so happens that these new kitchen utensils come in handy today.

She put the pan in the sink to wash it, and Xiaoqing beside her was full of curiosity. She endured it and asked, "Miss Ding, what kind of cooking utensil is this? It looks so strange?"

Ding Wei smiled, not hiding any secrets, and replied, "This is called a frying pan, and pancakes are the most convenient on weekdays. By the way, you can help me light the fire later. You must grasp the heat, neither rush nor too much slow."

Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly. The most common thing she does here is to light the fire, and she is the leader in controlling the fire.

Ding Wei saw that her naive look was very interesting, so she teased the little girl to talk one after another.

After talking and laughing for a while, Ding Wei was ready, so she asked Xiaoqing to start the fire.She put the pan on the stove to bake to remove the water drops, and finally picked up a small brush and brushed a thin layer of vegetable oil on the bottom of the pan.When the vegetable oil was half-cooked, I took a small spoonful of batter and poured it down, then quickly shook the pan, and a thin and round dough came out of the pan in the blink of an eye.

Xiaoqing was amazed, if she hadn't had to take care of the fire, her eyes would almost be glued to the frying pan.

Ding Wei was amused, so she took a piece of dough and wrapped it with sauced meat and vegetables, split it in half.He chewed half of it by himself, and stuffed the other half into Xiaoqing's hand.

"Xiaoqing, try it too. It seems a bit salty. I put too much shredded pork in sauce. Remind me to put less in a while." Ding Wei said vaguely while eating, looking very casual.Xiaoqing was so frightened that she almost threw the spring pancake in her hand, "Girl, girl, this is for the master to eat, I dare not..."

Ding Wei almost choked when she heard it, raised her hand and beat her chest, and then comforted her in a low voice, "You can eat it with confidence, this cake is not round, and the master will dislike it when it is served. Besides, let's make food Yes, how could it be possible not to have a taste, in case something goes wrong, wouldn't it directly harm the master?"

Xiaoqing blinked her eyes, as if she felt the same reason, so she lowered her head and took a bite carefully, and the next moment her little face immediately smiled.

"Well, girl, I've never eaten such a delicious cake. It's delicious, it's delicious!"

Xiaoqing ate the spring pancakes in big gulps, and licked the corners of her lips with some insatiable desire, looking pitiful and funny at the same time.

Ding Wei didn't have time to talk to her any more, thinking about whether to add more porridge, otherwise the spring pancakes would be a bit monotonous.

Xiaoqing seemed to be much smarter after eating delicious food. She ran to the innermost cauldron and lifted the lid, brought out a small cup of steaming ginseng porridge, and said with a smile, "Girl, there is porridge here. Can the cake you baked just now be ready?"

"Of course it did."

Wei'er swiftly baked a few more pancakes, carefully rolled up vegetables and shredded pork with sauce, placed them on a disk with a white background, and finally put them together with the porridge bowl on the mahogany tray.After careful inspection, there was nothing wrong with it, so Xiaoqing was sent to the main courtyard.

Gong Zhiming just woke up from his afternoon nap, but when he got up out of habit, he found that most of his body was unable to move. Annoyance suddenly flashed in his eyes.

After careful calculation, he has been bedridden for more than two months, but he is still not used to this fact.Sometimes I couldn't help thinking, if he died in front of the two armies, would it be much better to be shrouded in horse leather than to linger on like this.It's just that those things with a human face and a beast's heart are probably as good as they want...

Thinking of the deep enmity in the past, Gong Zhiming's eyes became more and more red, his always calm mind was buzzing, and he was on the verge of going crazy.But at this moment, he smelled a faint fragrance at the end of his nose. He froze for a while, and his mind miraculously came to his senses.

He followed the scent and found that there were two kinds of food on the small coffee table beside the bed, a bowl of ginseng porridge that he usually eats, and a plate of long white snacks piled up like hills.

"My lord, you're awake!" Xiangxiang heard the movement, came in from the door, and hurried forward to serve her.She took the pillow and stuffed it behind Gong Zhiming's back and asked, "This table is the dessert made by the new cook, and I lose my appetite when I see it so soft. The servant will leave now and let the kitchen make it again." Here comes the new one."

Uncle Yun walked in lightly, just when he heard this, he frowned and glared at his granddaughter, and finally smiled and brought Xiao Fangji to the master, and said in a low voice, "My lord, the cook who made this dessert is very skilled. Alright. The old servant sees that this dim sum is clean and very good, you don’t eat much for lunch, why don’t you try this new dim sum?”

Gong Zhiming thought of the flower bone buns he had eaten that day, and then looked at the very ordinary burritos in front of him, nodded indifferently, took a sip of warm tea at the end, and brought one to his mouth.

As a result, after biting down, I found that the filling in the bread was very light, with a mixed taste of salty and fresh.After swallowing the stomach, the irritability that seemed to be accumulated after a nap disappeared.Coupled with a mouthful of warm ginseng porridge, it is a rare appetite.

He thought like this, and his hands didn't stop. He ate five or six burritos before he put down his chopsticks.Uncle Yun looked at the empty porridge bowl and most of the missing plates, his face flushed with excitement, "Okay, okay, my son ate very well."

Gong Zhiming took a sip of tea to rinse his mouth, and finally asked lightly, "But the cook who made the buns that day?"

"That's right," Uncle Yun happily replied, "This old slave came to invite her specially, and she will come to our yard every few days to cook food. If you want to eat, young master, feel free to tell this old slave."

Gong Zhiming has not had a strong appetite since he was a child, and now that he is full, he doesn't have any thoughts.So he shook his head and said, "Let her watch the preparations, today's burritos are pretty good, thanks!"

"Yes, the old slave remembered it."

Uncle Yun saw his master picked up the book again, so he quickly dragged his granddaughter out with the dishes.

Standing under the eaves, the grandparents and grandchildren picked up the remaining spring pancakes and stuffed them into their mouths almost at the same time.Uncle Yun smiled as he ate, and kept praising, "This burrito tastes really good, no wonder you like it. I will find some good things for Miss Ding in a while. There is also a box of gold and silver hairpins in the library. Give it to me." She chooses a good style, and she will give two bolts of muslin cloth, and..."

"Grandpa, just reward her with a few copper coins. The young master didn't say a big reward!" Xiangxiang looked at the half of the spring pancake in her hand annoyed. She really didn't want to admit that the woman was good at cooking, but it was against her will to say that it was unpalatable.

Uncle Yun really had a headache for this unruly granddaughter, so he couldn't help scolding in a low voice, "Shut up, you can't get involved in these things. It's been a long time since my son is so full, just for this, Miss Shangding There are not many golden mountains. And you, if you have time to temper your temper, it is better to learn the craft well. As long as you can do embroidery or cooking, you will not lose your place by the son. But look I can't even sweep the floor clean, what else can I do?"
