Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 21 Her face with tears

Wang Yong always felt that Guo Jia did not choose to be a chef just because he was afraid of strangers.It's just that she doesn't talk about it, and it's not easy to delve into it.

"It's about the same time, let's have some lunch!" Wang Yong simply changed the subject, the most talked about in the restaurant was eating.

"The owner said...it should be the morning meal, right? At this time, the morning meal has passed, and the feeding has not yet arrived..." Guo Jia was a little puzzled.After all, it's only one o'clock in the afternoon. According to the habit, the afternoon meal is eaten around four o'clock, and it's still a little early.And the eclipse is around nine o'clock, too much has passed.

"I usually don't eat according to the standard morning food and feeding!" Wang Yong put the certificate in his hand on the counter, then walked towards the back kitchen, and put away the materials and kitchen utensils that were used for the test today.

As he walked, he continued: "I usually eat morning food at Chen time in the morning, and eat lunch at about half past noon. You time, or half past noon time, I eat feeding, but I usually call it dinner. I went to take a test today, and I came back a bit late, but It’s okay to have lunch at this time! Besides, how can we have the strength to work if we don’t eat enough?”

"Then let me help!" Guo Jia is not too surprised. After all, farmers during the busy farming season and people with good living conditions also have three meals a day. It's just that her family is poor, so she always abides by the two meals a day.

"I don't really want to wait for fermentation..." Wang Yong looked at the bag of flour, and then at Guo Jia, "In this case, pancakes, pot helmets, steamed buns or naan can also be considered... Forget it, let's try that one !"

Then I looked for it, measured some corn in the bag of corn, and then measured a small amount of black beans.These are not the part of the public, but the part that was given to him as a reward before.

"Teach you to make a staple food, called Wowotou!" Wang Yong said with a smile, then got up, put the measured corn on the side of the stone mill, and started to grind it. Outsourcing... Let's talk about it later, who made me poor now!"

"There seems to be another stone mill, do you want me to help?" Guo Jia watched Wang Yong start to grind the powder, and asked cautiously.

"That stone mill is relatively small, and I think it's not efficient enough to grind it... It's best if you are willing to help grind it, but can you help grind the black beans over there into bean flour? Try to grind them as finely as possible, after all, it will affect the taste !" Wang Yong nodded, after all, whether it's steamed buns or steamed buns, it would be uncomfortable to eat grainy ones.

"Okay... okay..." Guo Jia quickly responded, and then began to try to push the stone mill.However, it was obviously only a small stone mill, and it was very difficult for her to turn it. Every turn seemed to be very hard.

"Why is the strength so weak?" Wang Yong couldn't help frowning. Women in this world have good physical fitness. Whether it's Xiahou Dun, Dianwei, or even Cao Ren, their strength is not weaker than him. Fortunately, his strength is still growing.

He suspected that the birth rate of women in this era was too low, so women began to evolve. Not only did the age increase to [-] years old, but puberty was also greatly extended.Physical fitness has also been improved, in order to be able to conceive and give birth for a longer period of time, without dystocia due to physical weakness.

"Since I was born, my body has been worse than others..." Guo Jia replied helplessly, "The doctor even said that I might not be suitable for marriage, at least I can't bear children, otherwise my life would be in danger."

Are you born with a deficiency?I have to say that the Guo Jia in this world is worse than the Guo Jia in history.The latter fell ill and passed away only because of acclimatization, which is considered an acquired problem.The Guo Jia of this world has innate problems.

"I'm sorry..." Wang Yong originally planned to say 'that's pretty bad', but after thinking about it, the words were a bit gloating, after much deliberation, he still apologized.

"It's nothing..." Guo Jia seemed to be used to it, "When I was studying in the academy, I was ridiculed by many people, and I have gotten used to it for so many years."

Thinking back to the past in an instant, in that academy, when each classmate laughed at her in private for "becoming a woman for nothing", a figure appeared beside her. She was not disgusted by her congenital inadequacy, but was willing to make friends with her sincerely.

After graduation, she said she would go to see Yuan Shao, so she followed.After taking refuge in Yuan Shao, I felt that this person was not good enough to serve. After telling her, I actually led myself away from Yuan Shao's camp, and finally came to join Cao Cao who was just starting out.

"Let me come..." Wang Yong, who had already ground the corn, took the remaining black beans for grinding.

Guo Jia's thoughts returned to the present, and he felt ashamed when he saw that the black beans in his stone mill had not been reduced much.

Originally, to make steamed buns more delicious, milk and sugar needed to be added, but Wang Yong didn't plan to add them. He just mixed black bean flour and corn flour, added some yeast powder, and kneaded it with warm water.After standing still for a while, take out and knead into long strips, cut them into pieces with a knife, and then knead them into cones with your hands, with a concave bottom.

Then he turned around, picked up the finished product in his hand, looked at Guo Jia and motioned, "Do you understand?"

"Ah?" Guo Jia was suddenly at a loss when he was asked, but fortunately he understood, "Well, I see!"

"Well, come here to help and do more. I guess they will come over to eat after they go to the government! Even if you don't wait to go to the government, it's not bad to use it as a snack!" Wang Yong said with a smile. In some countries, there is also a drink at three o'clock in the afternoon The habit of tea and snacks.

"Okay!" Guo Jia nodded, and he did plan to help out in the study later, so he would bring some for her by the way.

The two of them got busy in this way, from making to putting on the tray, and finally burning the fire to cook.After doing this, Wang Yongcai patted the steamer lightly, and said to Guo Jia: "This is also a cooking method I developed, called 'steaming', which means heating with water vapor to cook the ingredients. After the noodles absorb water, It will expand, and at the same time, this temperature will also promote the reproduction of yeast, and the process will release carbon dioxide, making the dough more fluffy."

Having said that, steaming is a science, if it is too hot, it will accidentally burn the yeast to death, and it will not rise at the end.The control of the fire is also the key. If firewood is used, Wang Yong may have to fumble for it. Fortunately, there are biogas stoves that can adjust the fire.

In fact, there are still a lot of problems in the use of biogas, involving maintenance, waste disposal, gas usage and other issues. There are fewer and fewer people using biogas in modern times. According to Wang Yong, it may be better to replace it with honeycomb coal stove when necessary. .

"It's an amazing cooking method...but it's useless even if I know it, I don't have the money to buy the right to use it...!" Guo Jia sighed, and at the same time felt helpless. She came from a poor family, but she didn't have that much money to buy the right to use the skill .

"I haven't registered the skills of cooking and frying. This thing brings a new cuisine. The skill is monopolized by someone. It is obviously not a good thing for other chefs. In the past, everyone liked to stand still. A good recipe I keep them for my own use, so cooking has not been able to develop rapidly. Obviously, this era is the best period for cooking development." Wang Yong said with a smile, "Besides, chefs still compare with craftsmanship, even if they are the same steamed bread, the taste is different. of."

"That..." Guo Jia heard the words, thought for a while, and immediately mustered up the courage, "Can I try to steam a basket?"

"Yes!" Wang Yong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled, "There is a small steamer over there, you can try it."

"Thank you shopkeeper, thank you shopkeeper!" Guo Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed solemnly.Immediately picked up the small steamer, took out four steamed buns, put them in and started to try steaming them.

About 10 minutes or so, Wang Yong felt that it was about the same, and after a simple confirmation, he said that he could take it out.

"Okay, let me try the taste first, and you have been busy for a while, why don't you try one?" Wang Yong took out two corn buns and gave one to Guo Jia.

Without milk and sugar, the taste is not strong enough, but it is just a staple food, there is no need to be so extravagant.Fill the indentation at the back with some pickles, just eat two or three, and add a cup of soy milk, you will definitely be full.As for soy milk, of course it is black soy milk, only this one has added sugar, if conditions permit, Wang Yong will not treat himself badly.

"It's just so-so!" Wang Yong ate three, drank a cup of soy milk, and patted his stomach.

"I think it's very good!" Guo Jia tasted it for the first time, and he thought it tasted very good, with the fragrance of corn and black beans.It's rare to be hungry, two stomachs, just a cup of soy milk, and I feel a little full.

"Then take a few back home, and put them in the pot to heat up a little at night before eating." Wang Yong packed four for her.

"That... I'll just take the four I steamed back home..." Guo Jia said shyly, as if she was afraid that Wang Yong would refuse.

"Yes!" Wang Yong thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.Originally, I thought that Guo Jia would decline because of embarrassment, but I didn't expect that she would ask for it, which somewhat didn't fit her personality.

After getting four steamed buns from a small steamer and wrapping them in lotus leaves, Guo Jia thanked them and left.As for the accounts, she said that she will think about it tonight, and if conditions permit, she will try her best to help Wang Yong.

Leaving a restaurant, Guo Jia quickly walked towards the yamen, came to the study after a while, saw Xun Yu who was busy, walked over with a smile: "Wen Ruo, look what delicious food I brought you!"

"What are you doing here?" Xun Yu didn't look up, but asked coldly.

"Wen Ruo?" Guo Jia suddenly felt that Xun Yu was a little strange at the moment, "Try this steamed bun, I steamed it myself, although the shop is responsible for making it...Eat it while it's hot, it tastes very good!"

"You are the cook, and you should be Wang Yong's subordinate! You should go to the store, not here! This is the study of the yamen, where we work, and you should not come here!" Xun Yu said replied coldly.

"Wen Ruo, your behavior is so strange today..." Guo Jia panicked.

"Strange, maybe!" Xun Yu put down his pen, "How long do you plan to let me take care of you? From the time when you were in school to later, I was almost the one who took care of you. You are also an adult, and you should learn to be self-reliant. Instead of continuing to surround me!"

"Wen Ruo..." Guo Jia panicked even more. Why did Xun Yu become so strange? The strangeness made her afraid.

"Please leave here, this is not a place for outsiders like you to come in!" Xun Yu pointed outside.

"Then... I'll keep this cornbread here, remember to eat it later..." Guo Jia put down the lotus leaf.

"Take it back!" Xun Yu slapped it violently, and the wotou fell to the ground along with the lotus leaves. "It's office hours now!"

"I...I'm leaving right now..." Guo Jia couldn't take it anymore, turned around and left, and ran out in a hurry.

"Is it necessary to be so decisive?" Cheng Yu just sat on the side, watching everything silently.

"If she really wants to be a chef, I hope she can study more seriously. If she finds out that she is not made to be a chef, maybe we will have another outstanding colleague." Xun Yu shook his head and stood slowly. Get up, come to the ground, pick up the steamed buns scattered on the ground, pat them clean one by one, put them on the lotus leaf, then return to the seat, and slowly eat, "Delicious!"

"Besides, she should also seek a normal relationship!" Xun Yu shook his head, how could she not discover Guo Jia's feelings.

"Wooah..." Guo Jia, who left the study, rushed towards his room in the side courtyard crying loudly. After closing the door, with his back to the door, he sat down on the floor and burst into tears.

　In fact, I revised this chapter several times. At first, I thought it was too deliberate, so I deleted and revised it several times, and it took several hours.Then I found that if I continued to contact and then erupted in one breath, it would seem too malicious, and it would also be unnatural, so I simply erupted directly.

　　After all, it is empty, so each chapter must be carefully crafted to avoid problems, and the update speed will inevitably be affected, so I apologize in advance.

　　Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards/investments.
