There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 236 Test (Part [-])
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Jiaoniang.

"Okay, okay, come and help me cut the fish open. Cut it into two pieces, I'm going to scrape the fish meat and make fish balls." Li Jiaoniang pulled his hand.

Luo Cheng glanced at the two cooks outside who were washing vegetables, and said lightly, "Let's do this first."

He went to a large table by the window which was specially used for chopping vegetables, and began to cut the fish.

After cutting it, he glanced at the two cooks outside the window with alert eyes.

Li Jiaoniang shook her head amusedly.

With Luo Cheng watching, the two cooks dare not play tricks.

However, Li Jiaoniang only asked them to wash vegetables and dishes, and did not let them chop vegetables and set fire to the fire.

They were reluctant to help her, and chopping vegetables and lighting the fire was an important task. Doing things with emotions is not good, but will lead to bad things.

Li Jiaoniang asked Luo Cheng to help chop vegetables and light the fire.

When it comes to frying important dishes, she is in charge of the cooking.

An hour and a half later, all ten dishes were ready.

At this time, the butler just arrived.

He was surprised when he saw a table of delicious dishes, "Ms. Li cooks very quickly."

Several of these dishes are very complicated.

For example, the fish balls, the pearl meat balls, and the fish slice soup were cumbersome, and they were prepared so quickly.

"It's time to serve the dishes, Housekeeper He." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Butler He called to the two cooks, "Take it to the old lady's main room immediately." Then he said to Li Jiaoniang, "You go too."

This is a test subject, of course she has to explain it, Li Jiaoniang understands.

Luo Cheng also followed.

Mrs. He's residence is next door to Mrs. He's.

The house is a little shorter, but the level of ornate decoration is similar. There are more bird cages in the yard, and there are a few cats and rabbits running in the yard.

Two or three maids are taking care of the cats, rabbits and birds.

Obviously, Mrs. He is a lively old lady.

The dishes were brought into the room, and Li Jiaoniang Luo Cheng followed the butler into the main room.

In the main room, a large round table carved with pear blossoms has been set up.

Sitting at the top was a thin old lady with all white hair.

The old lady's hair, clothes, and neck were decorated with a lot of emeralds and red gold. She was wearing an elegant indigo blue muslin skirt, and she wore a forehead of the same color on her forehead, which was inlaid with a piece of white jade the size of a fingernail shell.

Dress gracefully and luxuriously.

Mrs. He is like a child, staring at the bowls of dishes served, the corners of her mouth are always raised.

The lips that were dry and suffocated due to missing teeth opened and opened again, and they kept nodding and smiling, "This is good, that is good, this is really good..."

On her left and right, sat Master He and Mrs. He,

In addition, there were four juniors sitting at the table.

There are people from about 30 years old to five or six years old.

They must all be descendants of the He family.

"Master, the dishes are ready, would you like to comment?" Butler He walked to Master He and asked.

"Well, let the old lady eat first." He Yuanwai said.

A young woman about 30 years old stood up immediately, took a bowl of chopsticks, walked to the old lady and stood still, and said with a slight smile, "Old lady, which dish do you like, granddaughter-in-law will help you pick it up."

"Okay, okay, everything is fine, let's have some of each." The old lady said cheerfully.

Li Jiaoniang walked to the other side of the old lady and stood there, smiling slightly, "Old lady, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can bring it up."

The old lady looked at her.

Steward He immediately said, "Lady, this is Mrs. Li who cooks."

The old lady nodded and said approvingly, "Oh, you are Mrs. Li Jiao, the bowl of custard at noon is very good, I ate it all."

Li Jiaoniang expected that it was the old lady who ate it.

She smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

Ten dishes, the old lady tasted all of them.

"This is the best." She pointed at the fish balls and said with a smile, "It tastes good, don't chew. The snow-white balls with green coriander seeds look delicious."

Fish ball soup, in modern times, has always been the favorite of children and the elderly. With some vinegar and coriander powder, it will not get tired of eating every day.

It is both nutritious and can increase appetite.

"Thank you, old lady, for your compliment." Li Jiaoniang smiled modestly.

"Miss Li, what are these made of? It's like glutinous rice balls, but it tastes like fish." Mrs. He put down her chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed over by the girl and wiped the corners of her mouth.

Although she is a country woman, her manners are elegant.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "It's made of grass carp."

"Fish? Let me tell you, why does it taste like fish?" Mrs. He laughed.

She is very satisfied.

Then, the old lady asked how the other dishes were made.

Li Jiaoniang answered simply.

She spoke clearly and gracefully, and the He family had a very good impression of her. Even the young woman looked at Li Jiaoniang from time to time, with an expression of surprise and admiration.

Mrs. He glanced at her mother-in-law, then tasted the other dishes, looked at Yuanwai He, and asked with her eyes.

Member He was eating food outside, glanced at his wife, and said to Li Jiaoniang, "Go down and get some food first, and I'll ask you something later."

"Okay, Yuanwai He." Li Jiaoniang nodded.

The housekeeper took her and Luo Cheng away, and went to the kitchen for dinner.

In the main house of the He family, the He family talked about Li Jiaoniang.

Mrs. He is satisfied. She loves all the dishes she cooks. "I have lived to be 80 years old, and today I have eaten the best food."

She smiled slightly, with a satisfied expression on her face.

Of the twelve fish balls, Mrs. He ate one, her grandson and great-grandson each ate one, and she ate the rest.

It's still unfinished.

"The sweet and sour fried fish nuggets are delicious, and Yuan'er loves them." Mrs. He said with a smile.

Her ten-year-old son, the great-grandson of the He family, ate most of a plate of sweet and sour fish nuggets.

Mr. He loves to eat meat, but his teeth are bad, so he has not been able to eat satisfactory meat dishes for a long time. Today's bowl of pearl meatballs is very suitable for his taste.

How did Li Jiaoniang come up with the idea of ​​steaming meatballs wrapped in japonica rice?

And the meat of the meatballs is very tender, not clogged at all.

The meatballs he ate in the past were too meaty, he would rather drink soup than eat them.

I ate five in one sitting today.

Mrs. He likes steamed eel and five-spice rice noodle meat.It's really strange that I can't get tired of eating meat on a hot day.

The third generation of the He family, Young Master He, is very fond of steamed eggplant with mashed garlic and pickled cabbage and fish fillet soup.

Mrs. He Shao likes the ham and winter melon soup, chicken and beans.

The youngest in the family is the great-granddaughter of the He family. She is only five years old. She has nothing to like or dislike. She ate some of everything. Today she even finished a bowl of rice as an exception.

This was something that didn't happen in the past. In the past, she was always begging her to eat, but today she took the initiative to eat.

It made Mrs. He Shao very happy.

For a table of meals, everyone has their favorite dishes, each with endless aftertaste.

"You mean, just invite her?" Yuanwai He looked at everyone and asked.

Young Master He said first, "Father, eight people came here today to ask for errands, and only Lady Li's cooking skills are the best, and the others are not as good as the two cooks in our family.

Grandma's [-]th birthday, if there are no three nobles to come, it's fine, let's invite a few capable cooks and cooks from the village to make some lively dishes for the New Year's Eve as before.

But there is a noble person, so you can't just be perfunctory.What haven't they eaten?The food is fresh.The dishes made by Li Niangzi are very rare, no matter in style or taste. "

"Master, I think Mrs. Li can do it." Mrs. He said.

Madam He Shao smiled and said, "Master, why don't you ask Mrs. Li to talk about other dishes? We have a nobleman coming, so we need to prepare twenty sets of dishes."

Young Master He nodded, "Father, that's a good idea."

This is the main reason why Yuanwai He is in a hurry to find a cook.

"Well, let He An ask Mrs. Li what else she can cook, and ask her to write twenty more dishes. If the menu is feasible, please invite her." Master He said.

"Go pass the message." Mrs. He waved to the girl beside her.

A girl responded and left.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng had just finished their meal when the butler came again and explained Master He's request

"You write another menu, you want [-] items, and the requirements are different from the dishes you made just now. The master said it is possible, and you can come early tomorrow morning." Butler He said.

Twenty dishes, and a banquet?

Li Jiaoniang smiled slightly, "Okay."

She can write two hundred!

There are thousands of recipe maps hidden in her modern computer!

With three dishes a day, she can eat the same food for a year.

The two cooks gloated over their misfortune.

They admitted that Li Jiaoniang's dishes were indeed delicious.But it may not be easy to write twenty new dishes.

They looked at Li Jiaoniang as if watching the excitement.

Li Jiaoniang lowered her head, deep in thought.

Luo Cheng was worried that she would not be able to write, and reminded, "You try to write as much as possible first, I will think about the dishes I saw."

Li Jiaoniang smiled slightly, "No, I've already thought about it."

After speaking, she picked up a pen and wrote.
