Chapter 19 Soymilk fried dough sticks (1)
Wen Mingtang had been thinking about the vegetables delivered by Zhuangzi for a day, and when it was her turn, the fresh vegetables had already been taken away, and the rest were two packages of dried seafood in the same small jar of pickled vegetables.
One pack of dry-haired seafood contains dried seaweed, and the other pack contains dried dried shrimp. As for the small jar of pickled vegetables, I heard that Master Wang and Master Sun specially said "hello" and left it for Master Chaoshi.
Wen Mingtang returned to the public kitchen lobby with two packs of seafood and pickled vegetables. A Bing and Tangyuan, who were waiting for her in the lobby, couldn't help feeling depressed when they saw the small jar of pickled cabbage and two packs of seafood that Wen Mingtang had received.
The glutinous rice **** said unceremoniously: "Master Wang and Master Sun did it on purpose! With their craftsmanship...Which lunch or evening meal is not a lot of leftovers? They used so many vegetables? This is not a waste of money. What is it?"
A Bing also responded from the side: "That's right! Master Wang and Master Sun have always been fooling around. When Master Wei was here, they..."
Before he finished speaking, A Bing, who suddenly realized that he was aphasia, immediately fell silent, coughed dryly, and changed the subject: "In short, the skills of the two of them are not very good, but this kind of little thought is the most. Master Wen needs to be careful. some!"
Right now, Master Wen’s morning meals have not yet caused a sensation, but Ah Bing thinks that with Master Wen’s craftsmanship, it will be a matter of time before everyone comes to the public kitchen to eat the morning meals. At that time, the two masters Wang and Sun, who are not very good at craftsmanship but have too many eyes, will know about it, and maybe they will come up with some other moths!
Wen Mingtang was not surprised by this.
Changing places in the palace to be on duty at random, there will be quarrels if there is no competition for positions! Not to mention that the head chef seat of this public chef is still vacant. Although Jiang Laosou from the Imperial College next door is called to take over as an interim, it is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, the public chef of Dali Temple will have his own head chef. This is a new cook and cook, so many people compete for it, so naturally they want to squeeze people out.
Speaking of which...
Wen Mingtang looked at A Bing who was winking at Tangyuan, and asked curiously: "A Bing, what you said about Master Wei just now refers to..."
A Bing and Tangyuan, who asked a single sentence, froze immediately. Seeing that they couldn't refuse Wen Mingtang's gaze, A Bing said, "It was the former chef who was discovered by Lin Shaoqing as a fugitive and arrested by himself. that!"
It turns out that Master Wei is a fugitive who has been at large for many years!
"Master Wei's culinary skills are indeed better than those of Master Wang and Master Sun, but," A Bing said, "you are still incomparable with Master Wen!"
Ever since he ate that bowl of oil-splashed noodles, Ah Bing began to believe in Wen Mingtang's culinary skills: After all, he can cook noodles without vegetables, meat, and eggs so delicious. How can this cooking skill be beyond the reach of ordinary people? Than?
Wen Mingtang smiled and didn't say anything else. He just opened the jar of pickled vegetables, picked up a chopstick of pickled vegetables, and tasted it.
"This pickled cabbage head is moderately salty and fresh, not bad!" Wen Mingtang, who tasted the pickled cabbage head, nodded and praised.
Seeing this, A Bing and Tang Yuan hurriedly said: "The pickled vegetables on Zhuangzi are really good, and they are good to serve with porridge."
It's just, what did Master Wang and Master Sun deliberately leave pickles for Master Wen? Do you want Master Wen to cook plain porridge for the morning meal like them?
It’s not that I dislike porridge, in fact, it’s good to eat porridge once in a while! It's just that Master Wang and Master Sun used to eat porridge twice in three days, which has long made people get bored, and now, they have not recovered from the boredom! So... still eating plain porridge is a bit unbearable!
While complaining about the small actions of Master Wang and Master Sun, Master Wang, who made evening food, came to the lobby, and smiled as soon as he entered the door: "Master Wen, Ji Caimai asked you to get the ingredients!"
After the evening meal, it's time for the Sanshi chef to get the ingredients.
A Bing and Tangyuan who followed Wen Mingtang into the storeroom saw this, and couldn't help but said: "Master Wang is the most cautious, he must have found out somewhere that Master Wen Chaoshi's oil-splashed noodles are delicious, and he was upset. Thinking of tripping up Master Wen!"
Wen Mingtang glanced at Master Wang who bought nonsense with Tongji and smiled, looked at the ingredients on the floor of the warehouse, thought for a while, took some soybeans and flour, and walked out.
Looking at the soybeans that Wen Mingtang was holding in his hand, Master Wang, who was earnestly shopping with Ji, looked at her in time, and then said "enthusiastically", "Master Wen, do you want to make soy milk for the morning meal?"
Wen Mingtang nodded and smiled, "Use flour to make sugar cakes to drink with soy milk!"
Master Wang also smiled and complimented after hearing the words: "It's a good meal, Master Wen is really very dexterous!"
The two of them obviously said it with a smile, but A Bing and Tangyuan, who were following Wen Mingtang, felt inexplicably weird when they heard it, and always felt that the atmosphere of the conversation was a bit subtle.
Ji Caimai half-closed his eyes, and became "deaf" at the right time, until Wen Mingtang spoke first and said, "So, I'll go back first! You need to get up early to make morning meals, and you have to go to bed earlier at night."
Ji Caimai nodded to her, "deafness" recovered, and said: "Master Wen, go!"
After some polite greetings, he vividly expressed the feeling of "swords and swords".
After Wen Mingtang led A Bing and the glutinous rice **** away, Ji Caimai glanced at Master Wang and said, "No matter how hard you try to drive people away, you must not touch the bottom line! If you touch the bottom line, what shouldn't be added to the food?" , If there is a problem with eating, don't blame me for turning my face!"
He is well aware of the level of Master Wang and Master Sun, and he has done many things to compete openly and secretly for the position of the chef and the chef, and to run on the new cook and wife.
Ji Caimai turned a blind eye, but saw everything.
I didn't make too much noise, so I let them go!
He knew about Zhuangzi's vegetables today, and he knew that the two left Wen Mingtang a head of pickled vegetables and two packages of dried seafood that were never used in the court food, so he beat them on purpose.
Master Wang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he nodded quickly.
After Ji Caimai took the key and left, he snorted coldly and went to see Master Sun.
"She took soybeans and flour, and said she was going to make soy milk and sugar cakes tomorrow." Master Wang said, looked at Master Sun, and sneered, "This newcomer seems to have some skills!"
The servants were full of praise for her oil-splashed noodles, and they also agreed to eat Chaoshoku tomorrow. Unexpectedly, this young cook can do a lot of tricks, even soy milk.
It seems that those who came from the imperial dining room in this palace are indeed quite capable!
"Ji Caimai told us to fight back, don't make a big fuss, he might be the first one to let us go if he has a problem!" Master Wang paused, and then said, "Sun, look... what should we do?"
"It's okay!" Master Sun smiled when he heard the words, raised his eyebrows meaningfully, and said, "I'm going to make some sweetened beets tomorrow, so it's not a violation of the rules to collect the sugar first!"
Both the soy milk and sugar cakes require sugar, and he took away the sugar in advance, so let's see how this "smart woman" can "cook without rice again" this time!
There are some things that are slow to be updated today, and the old time will remain the same tomorrow
