The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 326

In this day and age, there is no such profession as a nutritionist.But people have begun to pay attention to health preservation.

Especially the rich and powerful people pay more attention to this aspect, such as what is the best food to eat in what season, what ingredients are more nutritious to match with what, and what is more nourishing for the weak, etc.

Like Cui Han, when she was learning cooking, Mrs. Wang and the cook would tell her some common sense about health preservation.

Now she was secretly surprised when she heard Mrs. Liu's words, because according to Mrs. Liu's description, Da Furen's diet has serious problems, heavy oil, salt and meat, and fried and pickled fish at every turn. The rice can also be served with a lot of expensive dishes that will only be eaten at banquets.

It's not that the Cui family can't afford it, but that these expensive dishes are okay to eat once in a while, but if they are eaten all year round, they are not good for the body.

And it's summer now, eighty to ninety percent of Da Furen's daily menu is meat dishes, and there are very few fresh fruits and vegetables.

Cui Han remembered that Mrs. Wang said that in summer, one should eat as much light food as possible, and use more fresh fruits and vegetables.On the contrary, you should eat less meaty, fishy and other heavy-flavored things.

Mrs. Pianda's diet completely violated this common sense, which made Cui Han very worried, and she couldn't help but think about the privacy of the inner house.

However, it was her aunt who presided over the Rongkang hall. In Cui Han's mind, her aunt was the most virtuous and respectful woman, and she would never do anything to murder her mother-in-law.

Wei Wei calmed down, Cui Han tentatively said: "Grandma likes to eat these? Is it too greasy? The taste is also a bit heavy?"

Eating so much salt and lard, I am afraid that the taste buds will be ruined.

Madam Liu spread her hands, with a look of helplessness, and sighed: "This old slave also knows that when the imperial physician came to check Madam's pulse, he also said that it is hot in summer and it is not suitable to eat too much greasy food, but, But Madam, she disagrees."

Shaking her head helplessly, Mrs. Liu seemed to understand and said: "Actually, you can't blame Madam. The imperial doctor also said that when people get older, their sense of taste is not as sensitive as before. If the food is too bland, there will be no taste in your mouth. No one likes to eat tasteless things, right?"

Just as he was talking, a small servant girl in the kitchen came over with a large white porcelain plate, on which were placed in the shape of flowers a dozen fried quails that were burnt to a glossy butter.

"Miss Liu, the quail has been fried, take a look!"

The little maid sent the white porcelain plate to Mrs. Liu and asked her to check it.

Mrs. Liu still remembered that Cui Han was by her side, she raised her chin at the little girl, and said, "Er Niu, the little aunt is here, why don't you greet her?!"

The little maid named Erniu was about thirteen or fourteen years old, she was very ordinary-looking, thin and small, with low eyebrows, and there were eighty such little maids in the Cui family. be submerged.

Er Niu seemed to have never seen a noble lady of Cui Han's level. Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, she hurriedly saluted and almost threw the quail in her hand, "Maid, maid, Er Niu, please be safe."

Cui Han never paid attention to such inferior little maids. She hummed casually and signaled the second girl to get up, but her eyes fell on the plate of fried quail.

Lady Liu saw that Erniu was so shameless, she just felt ashamed, and she didn't pay attention to what Cui Han was looking at, but explained embarrassingly: "Erniu has just entered the mansion for a short time, so she has no knowledge, if she is rude, please ask the little aunt Forgive me."

Cui Han ignored the quarrel, and asked instead: "Is this also for grandma?"

Mrs. Liu didn't understand, so she nodded obediently: "Yes, Da Furen likes this kind of fried food the most, such as fried chicken legs, fried chicken wings, fried quail and so on. The fresh ingredients from our own farm are fried in meat oil. It is browned and crispy, sprinkled with the old slave's secret seasoning, not to mention how fragrant... Da Furen can eat a lot every time, even with it, she can use an extra bowl of rice."

As a professional cook, Ms. Liu feels that it is her greatest honor to satisfy her master with her skills.

Therefore, when answering this question, Mrs. Liu was quite proud, and she couldn't help raising her strong chest.

As for who invented this dish in the first place, Mrs. Liu selectively forgot.

She wouldn't tell the happy lady that this fried quail was a new dish invented by Er Niu by chance.

Is she stupid?

The lady is getting older, but her taste is strange. In order to encourage the cook to make more and better delicacies, the lady even sent a message to Mama Zhao, promising that no matter who invents a new dish that satisfies the lady, she will be rewarded Five strings of money, if Da Furen eats happily and can spend more food, besides money, there are other rewards.

As the lady in charge of the small kitchen, Mrs. Liu didn't take the five penny money seriously, but what was rare was that honor.

Moreover, only if the master is satisfied, can she, the lady in charge, do a good job, and she is not afraid of being robbed of her job by the group of cooking girls below.

Anyway, Erniu is a low-ranking little maid, let's talk about the master, even those respectable ladies in charge don't know her existence.

Mrs. Liu thought about it, as long as she gave Er Niu some benefits, and then promised to help her become a third-class maid in the next year, she would not stand up and expose herself.

Subsequent facts proved that Mrs. Liu was right. Erniu was very talented in cooking, but she was timid and honest. When Mrs. Liu said a few harsh words casually, Erniu dared not say anything.

Of course, Mrs. Liu is not only good at scaring people, she is also able to lure people - the eldest lady rewarded her with five pennies, and she threw away one hundred pennies to Erniu, and she couldn't tell the difference between the east, west, and north of this ignorant little maid. , and even forgot that Mrs. Liu took the credit that should have belonged to her, but instead looked at Mrs. Liu with the eyes of a benefactor.

Madam Liu was very satisfied with this, and continued to squeeze the second girl with more peace of mind.

Cui Han frowned tightly, and the words she read in a medical book appeared in her mind, "Don't share pork with it, it will make people get more sores."Quail meat is not edible after April and before August'.

Looking at the table again, there are chopped wild pork. Although I don't know how to cook it, it must be for the eldest lady to eat.

Also, it is now July, which happens to be between April and August, which is a season when quail cannot be eaten.

This... what should she do?Do you want to stop grandma, or do you acquiesce to the fact that the cooks just serve the lunch? !
No matter how mature and precocious Cui Han is, she is only a 15-year-old girl, and she is always protected by Mrs. Wang. This is the first time she has faced an embarrassing situation in real life.

Seeing that Cui Han was silent, Mrs. Liu stared blankly at the plate of quail, mistakenly thinking that the little aunt was worried about eating, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, little aunt, Madam likes this fried quail very much. I just ate it the day before yesterday. Once, at that time, her old man specifically explained that he must make it for her again today."

Cui Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't this the first time Grandma eats it? How many times has she eaten it since summer?"

My God, is this, is this someone deliberately murdering grandma?Or is grandma only caring about her appetite, but forgetting about the way of health preservation?

Mrs. Liu counted with her fingers, and then said uncertainly: "It's not the first time. During the Shangsi Festival on March [-], the farm accidentally sent a few quails. The old servant saw that they were fresh, so he tried to fry a few. At that time, my wife liked it very much, and she also ordered the management of the farm to catch a few more and put them on the farm for future consumption. Since then, every three to five days, the farm will send a few to a dozen. quail……"

How many months have you eaten?

The more Cui Han thought about it, the more confused she became, and all kinds of conspiracies filled her mind, and her face became a little ugly.

Mrs. Liu looked at it and was very puzzled, but in order to prevent the little aunt from having trouble in her kitchen, she still asked with concern: "Little aunt, what's wrong with it? Oh, it's all because the old slaves are confused. You are also asked to stay in the kitchen, so why don't you go outside to have a sip of tea soup first, and when the wife's lunch is ready, the old slave will deliver it to you?!"

Cui Han said that she personally cooks to help the eldest lady cook some food, but in fact, there are not many things that she really does.You see, there are so many cooks in the small kitchen, some are dedicated to washing and chopping vegetables, and there are also maids who are responsible for lighting and watching the fire, and the pots and pans are all cleaned by a dedicated person.

What Cui Han needs to do is to stand in front of the stove and throw the prepared ingredients into the pot in order. When they are cooked, she only needs to give orders, and her maid will help to serve them out.

Moreover, if she wanted to 'save trouble', she could save herself from throwing the vegetables into the pot herself.

Now, Cui Han was thinking about something, and she didn't have the heart to cook with her own hands, so she followed Mrs. Liu's words and went to the outside room, drinking warm tea soup, while thinking about Da Furen's recipe.

Mrs. Liu was not sure what the little lady meant, but she was not worried that Cui Han would gossip about her in front of the lady.The eldest lady values ​​her craftsmanship, as long as she is comfortable serving the eldest lady, even if the young lady comes, she will not be afraid.

"Little aunt is gone, what are you still doing here in a daze? Why don't you hurry to work? You got all the pig offal you wanted yesterday, so hurry up and pack it up. It's time for dinner in a while. Don't delay the big ones." Madame eats."

Lady Liu pinched her waist with one hand and grabbed Erniu's ear with the other, reprimanded her in a low voice, and sent her to work.

Erniu didn't dare to cry out the pain, she pouted her lips in response, and finally waited for Mrs. Liu to let go of her hand, then she rubbed her red ears and went to work in the small kitchen.

Picked a section of pig intestine from a basket of pig offal, Er Niu touched a handful of coarse salt grains from the jar, and asked someone to scoop up a spoonful of flour, while she squatted in a corner and turned the pig intestine over , sprinkle some salt, then sprinkle some flour, and wash it carefully.

After a while, Erniu cleaned a section of large intestine, she also washed her hands, cut the large intestine into finger-wide small pieces, and took out a few green hot peppers from the vegetable basket that was just delivered today.She quickly washed the peppers, cut them into small pieces with a slanted knife, then took out the iron pan, scooped up a spoonful of meat oil, and when the oil was hot, threw the peppers in and stir-fried——

"Thorn~~~"

Suddenly, a strange smell came out of the small kitchen. The smell was a bit choking, but the strange smell only hooked the gluttons in people's stomachs...
