Ever since he ate the wonton made by Xie Shi for two consecutive days, the little chubby Fu Yu has been completely conquered by Chef Xie’s craftsmanship. You can tell from his round body shape that is different from other thin scholars, he is also a food lover people.This day during class, he would brag about the supreme delicacy of wanton to his classmates whenever he met.

"I heard that a new chef came to the cafeteria, and there was a delicious food that I hadn't seen before, but I didn't get it. According to the people who ate it, the craftsmanship is comparable to that of the chef of Tianxianglou!" Tianxianglou is famous far and near. In the restaurant, the specially-appointed head chef is a former imperial chef. Although the food is expensive, the taste is excellent.

Fu You's family is rich, Tianxianglou was indeed a good place for him in the past, and he was also a frequent visitor there, but now he scoffs, "How can Tianxianglou compare with our chef, we are number one in the world!"

"Luckily, I got it today! I also queued twice and ate two bowls! Fu Yu is right, the taste is delicious, and the food is refreshing! I feel that I am not sleepy after listening to the teacher's lecture in the morning!"

Fu Yu immediately glared at each other: "I actually lined up twice and ate twice. It's because of you that I can only eat half a bowl!" The student who showed off but was outraged by everyone was immediately surrounded by his classmates.

The students who didn't eat it expressed doubts: "It's really exaggerated. Some food is just food, and it's not a panacea."

A thin student next to him replied: "Although there are exaggerations, it is not far away. I also feel the same when I eat it. When I recite the book today, it seems that my mind is clearer than before."

At this time, Xue Ba, who was sitting in the first row, was a little puzzled, why no one asked him about the scriptures today.You must know that as a eugenic student who is firmly in the top ten in the annual examination, in the past, when the teacher left, some classmates would rush around him and ask some scriptures that he didn't understand in class. Xing Pengyue felt that he didn't mind answering questions for other students, since they couldn't pass the exam anyway.

However, after class today, most of the people gathered in one place, talking about something with great interest, only a few eugenics like him in the front row did not participate.Xue Ba was really curious. He held a book in his hand and recited the scriptures on his face, but his ears were pricked up and he listened carefully to the discussions of the students around him.

The cafeteria has a new chef?What is wonton?I haven't eaten it. Isn't Chaoshi the same as usual?After eating wonton, you feel refreshed, and the efficiency of endorsement has improved? !

Xue Ba suddenly couldn't sit still. As a child of an aristocratic family, he naturally didn't want to squeeze into the cafeteria with other people. In addition, he has the privilege of eugenics, so today, as usual, he was beaten by the servants brought by his family. Meal, the servant took the meal according to his usual practice, but he didn't expect to miss the wonton which is said to have miraculous effects!

Xue Ba secretly decided that for today's afternoon meal, the servants must serve the meal prepared by the new chef, and he wants to try to see if it is really effective!

Soon, another lecture passed, and the old gentleman with white temples and long beard and a dignified complexion left with his hands behind his back. All the students got up and bowed to see the gentleman back.It was almost late at this time, around one o'clock in the afternoon, the students who had been in the class for almost two hours were already a little hungry, and they had already digested the food they ate in the morning, so they all went to the cafeteria together to have snacks.

Han Ning also got up, and his friend Cai Hua smiled and said, "Why don't we bring it for you today?"

Han Ning paused, and said nonchalantly, "It's not advisable to sit for a long time, it's good to get up and move around."

Gao Shui next to him put down his brush, moved his wrist that was a little numb from writing notes, and agreed: "Indeed."

Seeing that they still had the time to chat and joke, Fu Yu urged: "Don't talk about it, let's go, I'm so hungry, if there is another delicious food like in the morning, I probably won't be able to eat it."

Cai Hua laughed and said, "Mr. Xie, is it possible that he also has attainments in dim sum?"

Fu Yu now has blind confidence in Xie Shi: "That might be!"

Cai Hua and Gao Shu looked at each other and smiled, a little helpless, but followed what he said repeatedly and walked faster.

The four of them stepped into the canteen, and saw that the canteen was not just a single window as it was in the morning, but blossomed everywhere, and there were students queuing up in front of each window to get food boxes. There are new dim sum made by Chef Xie, and now it seems that today's dim sum seems to be the same.

Aunt Lu said loudly to a student standing in front of her who hesitated for a long time: "Three kinds of sugar water, the milky red bean double skin milk, the red lotus seed red bean paste with tangerine peel, and the green bean paste with tangerine peel lily. They are all iced drinks. Refreshing and relieving heat, choose one for each person, Mr. Xiao, have you chosen?"

The students behind also urged him, "Let's make a decision quickly, the students behind are all waiting!"

"That's right, what are you doing, the ice will melt later." The southeast is hot, and there is less snow in winter, so it is impossible to store ice like the northern Central Plains. However, it is the summer solstice, and the academy is located in a high mountain, which is relatively shady In order to prevent students from heatstroke, the college will specially approve a certain amount of saltpeter every year for the cafeteria to make iced drinks.

Without a freezer, Xie Shi soaked the boiled sugar water and the pot together in the ice-water mixture made of saltpeter for several hours to make an iced drink.

When the student was mentioned by the crowd, he blushed immediately. Realizing that he had hesitated for a long time, he glanced at the several desserts in the ceramic bowl, and hurriedly pointed to the one that looked white and tender like tofu, " Just some red bean double-skin milk." I haven't heard the name of this dessert, so it's good to try it.

He went to the pastry window to pick up a piece of his favorite Huanxiuan in the past, and then sat down to taste it slowly.When it was the turn of the next classmate, he also had a difficult time, and finally, like the previous classmates, he chose the double-skin milk that he had never seen before.

The four of Han Ning looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and they immediately joined the queue.There were four of them, so they chose two servings of Shuangpi Nai and one each of the others. They also took some other snacks and four small bowls, planning to share them.Seeing this, the students in the back suddenly realized, and followed suit.

The double-skin milk is like cream, white in color, dotted with a handful of dark red red beans, the surface of the milk skin is slightly wrinkled, and the thick milk skin will shake gently like water waves when touched lightly with a white porcelain spoon , Under the fragrant milk skin is soft and smooth stewed milk like tofu. The sweet milk fragrance is paired with sweet red beans, which slides into the throat and reaches the fiery lungs, even the heart is ice-cold.

The scholars were satisfied after eating it, and praised it again and again, "The milk taste is rich, melts in the mouth, and leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth!" Some scholars also wondered about its name, "I didn't expect that milk can be made into tofu, and the taste is so tender, but why is it so tender? It’s called Shuangpi Nai, so it should be called milk tofu, right?”

Xie Shi didn't hear it, or maybe he would tell him that this is because the thick milk skin on the double-skinned milk is actually composed of two layers of milk skin, and the milk skin cooked for the first time will be steamed for the second time. Float up and meet and fuse with the second layer of milk skin, so that there is a thick layer of milk skin on the surface of double skin milk.

Double skin milk is a delicacy produced in the Shunde area in the late Qing Dynasty. It has always been known as the king of desserts in Guangdong. It is normal for students not to eat it. Xie Shi decided to make this dessert when he saw buffalo milk in the back kitchen. After all Authentic double skin milk must be buffalo milk.

The buffalo milk in the canteen of the academy comes from the buffaloes in the academy's school fields. It was only then that Xie Shi found out that in addition to donations from the rich gentry and the government, the school running funds of the ancient academy also included the school fields allocated or donated by the government.The items produced in these school fields are either supplied to the academy or sold, and the money obtained is reinvested in the education of the academy, which can be said to be a very virtuous circle.

There is a saying in "Health Preservation Theory": "Summer air is hot, eat beans to keep it cold." Although the other red bean paste and mung bean paste are not new, Xie Shi's method is also a little different at the same time, not only adding orange peel to flavor, The boiled beans are still blooming, the taste is dense and smooth, there is no bean dregs at all, and lotus seeds, lilies and other things are added to relieve the heat and thirst!

All the students who returned to the classroom after eating and drinking felt refreshed, and the summer heat disappeared. The full spirit made the teachers who were used to seeing them sleepy and restless in the afternoon classroom look sideways, quite surprised.

In just half a day, the new Chef Xie became well-known among the students of the academy. This was reflected in the lunch time in the evening. The students seemed to be racing.If it weren't for the academy's regulations, if there is no danger, you are not allowed to run around in the academy, and offenders will be fined twenty feet, maybe they can run faster than rabbits one by one.

In the middle of the night, at Lu's house in the east of the city, the three of them were drinking and talking at night.

"Then the Xie family kid is so popular?!"

"Yes, today those students are queuing up to eat the fresh food he made!"

"It must be the unique secret recipe taught to him by his father Xie Da! What a Xie Da, on the surface he says he takes me as his son-in-law, but he hides everything behind his back and refuses to teach him. It's important!"

The man who was cursing Xie Ju with a hostile face was Lu Jia who was absent from work for no reason and was caught by Cen Yu and fired. , there is another person who looks fat and big ears, it is Cai Da who is currently in charge of purchasing ingredients in the cafeteria.

This Cai Dayuan was the vegetable cutter in the cafeteria, and he was also one of Lu Jia's lackeys. Later, when Lu Jia came to power, he immediately promoted him to become a profligate purchasing worker. The original purchasing worker was Xie Ju's confidant, but he was squeezed out to chop vegetables. .Although Lu Jia was fired, Wang Erhouzi and Cai Da escaped, and they are still in the back kitchen.

The two of them were not upright at first, and treated the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. When they saw Xie Xie, they were in panic all day long. They were always worried that Xie Shi would liquidate them, so they would come to Lu Jia overnight to discuss this.

Lu Jia thought for a while and asked, "What's Wu Da's reaction? Is there any dissatisfaction?" Wu Da is the white case cook in the cafeteria, responsible for making cakes and pastries. It can be said that he was the third in command of the cafeteria when Xie Ju was in office. .

"There's not much movement from Wu Da's side. Today, the Xie family boy just let him go as usual."

"Hmph, Wu Da is used to pretending, he's a cunning one. In the past, I tried my best to win him over, but he refused to accept it. Now it's the boy from the Xie family who hasn't even grown his hair yet, and he's overwhelmed by him. How aggrieved it may be!"

"Chu Lu, let's just wait for Da Wu to clean him up?"

"Yes, let's wait first, if Mr. Wu can't do it, then follow what I said, so..."
