Lingquan after kitchen

Chapter 66 Rejection (1)
"It's good to eat crabs in autumn." Ouyang Jinhua said to several people, "Have half steamed to serve wine to the Duke, the eldest son, and my elder brother, and take out the half of the crab roe to make crab roe dumplings for the elderly and children."

When Ouyang Jinfeng heard that the child was talking about him, he said happily: "I want to eat more crab roe dumplings today!"

"Didn't you bring stilts, then walk around the garden in the mansion to see if there are any beautiful flowers. Don't go to the closed gate or the guarded yard." Ouyang Jinhua sent the little guy out, Only the kitchen can be quiet.

The old man in his sixties was a little embarrassed when he saw Ouyang Jinhua for the first time, but now he wanted to cook and eat together, so for the sake of convenience, he took the initiative to say: "Miss, the old slave's name is Ma Dabao, and you can tell me anything."

Ouyang Jinhua said: "Uncle Ma, I heard from He Wu that you are good at making pasta. There are two kinds of pasta for the staple food at noon today, so you can cook according to Mrs. He's instructions."

He Wu is a middle-aged cook with a mole on his left cheek. He has a straightforward temper and strong hands. He cooks large pots of dishes quickly and stir-fries them very rarely.

The other two middle-aged cooks, the one with the horse face, small eyes and ugly appearance is called He Jiu, he is He Wu's cousin, he moves very nimbly and is good at cutting vegetables, the one with the square face and red nose is called Ma Qi, Ma Dabao The youngest son is good at pasta and cooking, but he is not good at it.

Among the four cooks, Ma Dabao and Ma Qi are father and son, and He Wu and He Jiu are cousins.

"Yes." Ma Dabao nodded quickly, and then humbly asked Mrs. He for advice.

Mrs. He smiled and said: "The staple food that Miss ordered for the guards and servants in the mansion is scallion bread. You went to buy it just now. I have already used the leavening noodles in your mansion to make all the flour. In half an hour Make it well and knead the steamed buns and steam them in a drawer."

Ma Dabao asked: "Steamed buns use leavening flour, so can cakes also use leavening dough?"

Sister-in-law He gave advice to the cook of Ouyang Mansion in Chang'an yesterday, but now she can guide the cook of the Duke's Mansion, with a smile on her face, not hiding her secrets, she told the secret that the dough cake is easier to digest than the dead dough cake, and it is better for the stomach.

"If you eat well at noon, you can eat more oil and water. If you eat less at night, you should eat lightly." Ouyang Jinyu set the recipes for the master's servants at noon and evening, and began to divide the work, allowing several cooks to play to their strengths.

Following Ouyang Jinhua's instructions, He Jiu sorted out a whole pig and divided it into meat, ribs, lard, and offal.

Ma Qi is responsible for cooking for the servants.He Wu assists Mrs. He to cook for the master.Ouyang Jinhua gave instructions throughout the process.

Several people were extremely busy, but they didn't make any mistakes.

Steward Qian deliberately went to the warehouse to take out the blue and white porcelain and sent someone to deliver it to the kitchen.

The autumn wind wafted around with an extremely strong smell of meat, which caused the guards of the Duke's Mansion, who hadn't eaten meat for many days, to be so hungry that they wanted to stretch out a hand to steal the meat and swallow it in one gulp.

"Yesterday, the smell of the beef was so good that you could faint from greed, and the smell of this meat can also make you faint."

"There are guests in the mansion, and this meat is for the guests to eat. We servants are lowly, it's good to have a bite, and you don't even need to think about meat."

More than a dozen guards who were laid off in the morning and rested on the bed were woken up by the guards chatting outside the door. Hearing about meat, he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep. Sound, curious to go out to have a look.

Ouyang Jinfeng trotted forward on stilts, and four servants carefully guarded the surroundings.

"That's Young Master Ouyang, the youngest brother of Master Ouyang, who is sworn brother to his righteous brother, Young Master Ouyang."

"Look at how stable the stilts are, they must have practiced martial arts."

The guards walked around the house behind Ouyang Jinfeng, teaching him how to do difficult moves on stilts. Before he knew it, he walked to the main entrance, and a middle-aged man in armor walked up to him with piercing eyes.

Ouyang Jinfeng stopped, bowed and clasped his hands in salute, and shouted excitedly: "Jinfeng from Ouyang's family has seen the uncle."

All the guards knelt down and shouted in unison, "I have seen the Duke."

Dongfang Ding saw that the little boy was very fair and clean, with big eyes and small mouth, combed bun hair, wearing blue clothes and blue trousers, very clean and neat, so he liked it a little, and asked with a straight face, "How do you know that I am the Duke of Dongfang?" ?”

Ouyang Jinfeng was not afraid, and replied: "Your eyes and nose are exactly like Brother Dongfang's, and you also wear a dagger inlaid with gemstones. ?”

Dongfang Ding looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and asked, "How old are you?"

Ouyang Jinfeng laughed and replied, "Four years old. I am 12 years younger than Brother Dongfang, and I share the same zodiac sign with him."

Dongfang Ding's smile gradually faded, and a trace of sadness flashed in the tiger's eyes.

Ouyang Jinfeng already knew how to read words at a young age, thinking that Dongfang must have taken a fancy to stilts, so he whispered: "Brother Dongfang made this stilt for me. I like it very much, so I can't let you play with it."

Dongfang decided to take Ouyang Jinfeng to meet the guests, smelling the smell of meat on the way, thinking of being surrounded by several subordinates begging for beef this morning, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he couldn't help asking: "Your family sent beef again?"

"No." Ouyang Jinfeng shook his head, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "My sister sent Xiao Tong to buy a lot of food, including a whole fat pig and a basket of big crabs. I have crab meat dumplings for lunch , you have steamed crabs to eat."

Dongfang agreed.

"My sister's cooking is delicious. Did you know that there was Hun wild wolf meat in the roasted bison yesterday. Did you eat it?"

"No."

Ouyang Jinfeng is familiar with people, even in the face of the very introverted Dongfang Ding, he can talk non-stop without admitting it, and said a dozen names of food in one breath, "My favorite food is fruit Shabing, unfortunately, it is cold in autumn now, she is afraid that it will cool my stomach, so she no longer makes it for me."

Dongfang definitely doesn't like to eat fruits and snacks, so he couldn't help but admire: "The pig's trotters and beef in your house are very delicious."

"So you also like to eat pig's feet." Ouyang Jinfeng looked pleasantly surprised, "Just now I asked my sister to burn the pig's feet for lunch, so you can eat a few more pieces then."

"Okay." Dongfang Ding thought of the last time he ate pig's trotters, which were so salty and so soft that he almost bit off his tongue, and looked forward to lunch.

One old and one young entered the hall, and everyone came forward to salute Dongfang Ding. Ouyang Jinyu knelt down and kowtowed very naturally.
