Chapter 31 Mapo Tofu
Mu Qingxi excitedly came to the small kitchen, Xixiang smiled and helped her clean her hands, then put an apron around her waist, and Bai's quick eyes and hands offered a piece of square, tender and white tofu.

Mu Qingxi quickly cut the tofu into small pieces with a knife, with quick hands and feet and uniform shape, Bai's eyes couldn't help showing a hint of surprise, seeing Shi Zifei's skillful movements, she didn't look like a young lady who was raised in a deep boudoir at all. However, even if a skilled cook wants to master such a clean knife technique, he may not be able to do it without more than three to five years of hard work.

Mu Qingxi didn't care what the people around her imagined, she just put the cut tofu on a plate and asked Bai to boil a pot of boiling water. After the boiling water boiled, she quickly put the tofu into the water, boiled it for a while, and then it came out.

The tofu is white and crystal clear.

Put less lard in the pot, add some minced meat and stir well after the oil boils.Because there is no bean paste for the time being, I had to find some hot sauce instead, feeling a little regretful.

Douchi is available, peanuts are chopped into pieces, stir-fried with Douchi, then add tofu and bone broth and fry slowly, while slowly adding salt and sauce.She stir-fried gently, and when the sauce was slowly collected in the pot, she quickly sprinkled some coriander powder, ground Chinese prickly ash, peppercorns and chili powder.

Immediately the aroma was tangy.

Loading.

Mu Qingxi bent her lips and smiled: "Everyone come and try."

The color is bright red and the smell is fragrant, which makes people's index fingers move when they look at it.

Everyone knows her temperament, and she is not formal.

Mother Feng held the chopsticks, tremblingly picked up the chopsticks first, and suddenly the pupils in her eyes changed.

Seeing it strangely, Bai also picked up a chopstick and chewed it twice in his mouth, barely jumping up with a "huh".

"It's so spicy!" Mother Feng took a deep breath, and went around looking for water to drink.

Bai's eyes were shining brightly, although he was also breathing in, and the sweat on his head was also hot, but he was very pleasantly surprised: "Concubine Shizi, it's really spicy, but the taste...is so satisfying."

Mu Qingxi also picked up the chopsticks and ate a mouthful, but shook her head. There was no bean paste, so it was far worse.

Bai Shi is very obsessed with cooking, seeing her like this can't help but be surprised: "Shi Zifei, why do you still shake your head for such delicious tofu?"

Mu Qingxi said lightly: "One main ingredient is missing, the taste is not authentic, not tasty."

Bai Shiqi asked: "What is missing?"

Mu Qingxi smiled lightly, "I still can't say whether I can make up this seasoning, but if I do, I will definitely let you taste it."

Bai's heart was extremely excited.Her family is not very rich, but it is not impossible to take care of her husband and children at home, but she has always been obsessed with cooking, and knows that only in this deep house and compound can she really improve her cooking skills.

So she entrusted the children in her family to the elderly and came here to work by herself. What she is greedy for is not to get more money every month, but to learn something here.

Today, I suddenly tasted a dish that I had never eaten before, and my heart was itchy like hundreds of ants crawling on the tip of my heart, and I immediately wanted to learn this dish.

Just now Mu Qingxi did not intend to hide anyone's every move, although she watched carefully, but in the end she heard that there was still the most crucial blind ingredient, and she couldn't help being very disappointed.

You must know that if a dish lacks the main ingredients, the taste will be very different.

She sighed in disappointment, a little sadly.

Looking at her, Mu Qingxi couldn't help laughing, she couldn't tell that she was still a culinary idiot, and couldn't help but feel a little twitch in her heart.

Doesn't her proud building just lack such a person who is obsessed with cooking?

She tentatively asked: "Bai Shi, have you signed a contract of sale in the palace?"

Mrs. Bai shook her head, "The slave's husband has his own small business, and his life is decent, so he doesn't let the slave sign the contract of sale, and the contract of living signed by the slave, five years."

Mu Qingxi's eyes lit up: "How long will the contract expire now?"

Bai Shi was startled, although she didn't understand why she asked, but she still thought about it carefully, "I guess, it will be here in half a year. The servants came early, and they have been in the palace for many years."

Mu Qingxi bent her lips and smiled: "Bai Shi, are you willing to do something for me?"

Bai was stunned: "This servant doesn't quite understand what Shi Zifei means."

Mu Qingxi swept around, and Mother Feng understood in her heart, first took out the idlers in the small kitchen, and when there were only the two of them left in the room, Mu Qingxi said slowly: "I have something in my hand. A restaurant is currently being renovated, and when it opens in a few days, would you like to be the chef? You are good at cooking, and I am very satisfied with the food. If you agree, I will not only hand over the recipe of this tofu to you, It will also teach you more dishes that you have never heard of."

Seeing that Mrs. Bai was a little dazed, Mu Qingxi smiled lightly, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "As for the salary, it is twice as much as here."

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Bai's face, and he said in a hurry: "I don't care about the salary of the servants. The servants come to the palace to be cooks because they really like this. The princess is willing to use the servants, because she thinks highly of the servants." She slightly After calming down his excited mood, he nodded solemnly: "I am willing to go."

Mu Qingxi was very satisfied with her performance, but said: "However, you must know that what I have taught you is the untold secret of a store. If you really want to come, you must promise me something." It is."

Bai-shi lowered her head, knowing that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and if you want to get something, you have to pay for it yourself.Now that the decision has been made in the heart, naturally there is no turning back.

She raised her head and said firmly: "The servant girl originally signed a life-long death contract with the concubine, and she is willing to be the concubine's person for the rest of her life."

Mu Qingxi was slightly startled: "You have to think about it."

There was a little smile on Bai's lips: "My maidservant has made up her mind, learning to cook is what I have pursued all my life, and I will never regret it if I can follow the concubine."

Mu Qingxi was slightly moved: "Don't worry, Mrs. Bai, since you have entrusted me with sincerity, I will definitely not treat you badly. Recently, you can wait in the palace with peace of mind. After the restaurant opens, I will find a way to transfer you there. Although you don't care about your salary, since you have followed me, I can't treat you badly. How about this, if the restaurant is really prosperous, I will use the profit of the restaurant to calculate your dividend according to a certain percentage. "

Tears welled up in Bai's eyes, she didn't expect such a great thing to happen to her, she knelt down and kowtowed, "Your maidservant will definitely live up to your trust, please rest assured."

Mu Qingxi nodded with a smile: "Okay, you go down, remember not to tell anyone about this."

Bai Shi nodded quickly and said, "Your slave will save it."

After saluting again, he turned and left.
