Chapter 81 Learning Cooking (2)

81
"Beibei, try the difference between the thousand sheets made by our cook and the ones made by your mother." Qiao Qiongyan said and gave Beibei another thousand sheets of pork belly with chopsticks.

Beibei picked up a thousand knots and put them in her mouth. As soon as she took the mouth, she tasted that the thousand knots had a faint aroma of wine, and seemed to have the taste of star anise, a bit like the taste of cooking wine in the previous life, but this taste is very weak, so don't taste it carefully It cannot be tasted.

Beibei is an objective person, she has to admit that the Qianzhang made by Master Rong is much more delicious than the one made by her mother, the two are obviously not of the same grade.

Jiang also tasted a thousand knots, and nodded after eating: "No wonder those noble ladies always show off in front of me, saying how rare and delicious the thousand knots brought back by their family from the seaside are. I didn't think so at the time, but today Only after you try it will you know that what they say is true.”

Jiang Shi was only half right, that was the bragging of those women.

In fact, there are not many women in the county who have really tasted a thousand sheets, because these thousand sheets are sold in limited quantities, and those old men and sons who bought back a few sheets would not be enough for themselves, so how could they be willing to give it to others.

Even if there are a few women who have tasted these thousand sheets, they may not be as delicious as they say, after all, their cooks have never made these thousand sheets before.

"Beibei, how are you doing?" Qiao Qiongyan asked proudly. Seeing Beibei's expression, you don't need to ask to know who made the thousand sheets better.

"Is there wine and star anise in these thousand knots?" Beibei asked without answering, if she didn't know that there was no cooking wine in this dynasty, Beibei would think that there was cooking wine in these thousand knots, the taste is really similar.

Hearing Bei Bei's words, Jiang tasted another thousand knots and shook his head: "I didn't taste the taste of wine and star anise."

"Sister-in-law, Beibei is an expert, and her mother's craftsmanship is also good. She said that it should be almost the same!" Qiao Qiongyan finished speaking, and then told Xiao Zhu who was standing beside him: "Xiao Zhu, go ask Master Rong. Is there wine and star anise in the knot?"

In the mansion, Xiao Zhu did not dare to sit at the same table with the master, she would only go down to eat after serving the master.

After a while, Xiaozhu came back and reported to several people: "Master Rong said that the stewed pork belly with thousands of knots was added with the seasoning he made. The seasoning he made did include wine and star anise, but the amount was very small."

After Xiaozhu finished speaking, he said to Beibei with bright eyes: "Miss Beibei, you are really amazing! Master Rong even praised you."

"Master Rong praised Beibei?" Qiao Qiongyan was a little surprised. This old Rong usually cherishes words like gold, so he would open his mouth to praise others?
"Yes, Miss!" Although Master Rong just said, "It's pretty good at eating", it was enough to make Zhu's jaw drop.

You know, Master Rong would never speak unless it was absolutely necessary.

Speaking of which, this is also a habit that Master Rong developed in the palace. In the palace where people eat people without spit out bones, he adheres to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes to save his life. Even if he is out of the palace now, his habit It can't be changed either.

Hearing this, Qiao Qiongyan was also very pleasantly surprised: "Beibei, Lao Rong has already praised you. If you ask him for cooking lessons, he will definitely agree."

Beibei looked at Jiang and asked, "Sister-in-law, can I?"

After all, the Jiang family is the head of the General's Mansion, so if she wants to learn cooking skills here, she has to ask for permission.

Jiang said with a smile: "What's wrong with this? It doesn't matter how long you want to learn."

The Jiang family hoped that Beibei would stay in the mansion. With her company, Qiongyan would not think about going out all day long. Moreover, she would not have to worry about Qiongyan getting into trouble again when Beibei was with Qiongyan.

"Sister-in-law, I'll learn from Master Rong how to cook the fungus sauce in the evening, and I'm going back tomorrow, if I have a chance, I'll bother sister-in-law again," Beibei said.

There are too many things at home, she can't stay in the county for long.

"Leaving so soon?" Jiang looked at Beibei and asked.

"Sister-in-law, Beibei's family is very busy, and she has to go back to help." Qiao Qiongyan also hoped that Beibei could stay in the house for a longer period of time, but she knew that Beibei's family background was different from hers, so she didn't want to keep her. When Beibei's new home is built, she can live in Beibei's house for a while.

Jiang shi didn't know Qiao Qiongyan's plan, so he said with some reluctance: "Well, when you are free, you must come to the mansion for a while."

"Sister-in-law, I will. When I am not busy, I will come to learn cooking skills from Master Rong." If Master Rong agrees, Beibei added something in her heart.

After Beibei finished speaking, seeing Yi'er sneaking a look at her while eating, she smiled, took a piece of fish with a pair of serving chopsticks and put it in his bowl: "Eating fish can make people smarter, more Yi'er Eat some."

"Really?" As soon as Yi'er became interested, he raised his head and looked directly at Bei Bei, and stopped secretly looking at her.

"Of course it's true."

"Okay, I want to eat more fish, and I want to become smarter." Yi'er asked the maid beside her to help her pick out the fishbone.

Seeing that Yi'er offered to eat fish, Qiao Qiongyan laughed: "Bei Bei, you still have a way. Since Yi'er got stuck in fish bones half a year ago, Yi'er refused to eat fish anymore. I didn't expect you to let me eat fish in just a few words. He's eating fish again."

"That's not true." Jiang also laughed.

"Oh? What a coincidence." Beibei just said casually, who knew that Yi'er would change just because of her words.

After eating, Qiao Qiongyan took Beibei to the kitchen.

Master Rong packed up his kitchen utensils and was about to leave the kitchen when he saw Qiao Qiongyan and the two of them stop, looking straight at them and asking questions.

"Master Rong, Beibei wants to learn cooking from you." Qiao Qiongyan said bluntly.

Master Rong looked at Beibei, and Beibei hurriedly asked respectfully: "Master Rong, the fried fungus shreds in sauce you made is delicious, I like the taste of the sauce you made very much, I wonder if you can teach me how to make it?" The sauce?"

Master Rong stared at Beibei for a while, then said concisely: "Okay!"

Beibei blinked her phoenix eyes, agreed so easily?

Beibei didn't know, Master Rong had already noticed her when she taught Qianzhang's recipe in the afternoon, and with Xiaozhu's ability to listen to Beibei's dishes, Master Rong had an idea.

Seeing that Master Rong promised to teach Beibei how to make sauce, Qiao Qiongyan was about to leave.

"Qiongyan," Bai Beibei called her to stop: "Can you give me some rice paper?"

"What do you need rice paper to learn how to make sauce?" Qiao Qiongyan asked strangely.

"I'm going to take notes."

"What a weirdo!" Qiao Qiongyan muttered as she left the kitchen.

After a while, the little maid brought over the pen and paper, but Bo Beibei was not used to using a brush, so he picked out a slender piece of charcoal from the stove and ground it into a charcoal pen on the ground.

Master Rong watched Beibei doing these things quietly, without saying a word.
