Chapter 3 Prepare pastries and deliver gifts to your door

In the scorching summer, Xie's family is not a rich family, so naturally they don't need an ice basin to cool down. When he came out of the kitchen at this time, Xie's back was covered in sweat.He fried a tomato scrambled egg on the stove, and Xie Ju, who had a sharp eye and quick hands, pushed him out of the rest, saying that he was not needed, and persuaded him out of the back kitchen.Don't look at Xie Ju being betrayed by his subordinates, so much so that he lost his position as head chef for many years, but if his subordinates had some real skills, they would not have been able to secure this position for so many years.

Since Xie Shi woke up yesterday, all he drank was tasteless white porridge. He hadn't tasted the cooking skills of cooks in this era, and he was looking forward to it. Fan, changed a bunt back to a cool shirt.

Xie Ju has been the chef of the cafeteria for more than 20 years, and his hands and feet are nimble. When Xie Shi changed his clothes and went to the hall, two dishes, one soup, and two bowls of cold porridge had already been served on the Eight Immortals table.On the table, besides the tomato scrambled eggs made by Xie Shi, there is also a plate of cold jellyfish with cucumber. The red and yellow hot dishes are paired with the green and white cold dishes. One is cold and the other is hot.Even Mr. Xie, who still has doubts about whether this strange fruit like tomato can be eaten, is a little greedy. Without him, it is really too delicious.

When Xie Ju picked up the bowl and chopsticks, he moved his chopsticks when he thanked him. The first chopsticks were aimed at the tomato scrambled eggs. After all, they were familiar varieties discovered by accident, but Xie Ju snatched them away halfway.Xie Ju directly brought the tomato scrambled eggs to his side, and moved the cold jellyfish shreds to the child, "Brother Shi, try the cold salad made by Dad. You said you wanted to eat it when you were sick. I will go to eat it this morning." The fresh jellyfish harvested at the port are specially put in the well water after they are ready, and they are designated to be delicious!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks again, picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with red tomato flesh on the chopsticks, his eyes were serious, and he planned to test the poison himself.Xie Shi's hands-on fire was just right, and the color of the egg was still yellow when it was formed, but the red tomato flesh stained on it was a bit weird in Xie Ju's eyes.It's just that in the Lingnan area, there are many petals and pulp that are used in vegetables. What he hesitates is whether this fruit will poison people to death.

Seeing Xie Shi looked over, Xie Ju smiled awkwardly, "It's my son's first time doing it, dad will help you taste it first." After speaking, he threw it into his mouth, swallowed it whole, and then ate a few more mouthfuls of porridge.Xie Shi pursed his thin lips, lowered his eyes, hiding the warmth in them.Xie Shi obeyed Xie Ju's words, put a chopstick of shredded jellyfish into his mouth, and chewed carefully. The crispy jellyfish was paired with fresh green shredded cucumber, sour, spicy and delicious.

Xie Shi also tasted that the slightly spicy taste here is not from the chili peppers that modern people are familiar with, but from yellow mustard.Chili is far away in the Americas, but ancient people have eaten spicy food for a long time. In addition to the spicy taste produced by plants such as pepper, pepper, and cornus, there is actually mustard.This mustard is not made from the wasabi used to eat sashimi in Japan, but mustard from China. The hot sauce made from mustard seeds, also known as mustard, has been eaten by people as early as the Zhou Dynasty, but it is relatively rare in modern times. When people talk about wasabi, they basically refer to Japanese wasabi made from wasabi.

Xie Ju took a bite of tomato scrambled eggs. Although he ate too quickly, he didn't taste much, but after waiting for a while, he didn't find any signs of poisoning, so he was really relieved.He does not doubt his son's words, but as a father, he is always worried.After he tried non-toxic, he didn't stop his son from eating it, and because he was too nervous just now, he couldn't taste it, so he put a large chopstick into his mouth.

After the tomato pulp is stir-fried, it no longer has a strange smell that is suspected to be poisonous. Instead, it turns into a sour taste that breeds saliva. After being neutralized with sugar, it becomes a moderately sweet and sour. Tomatoes and eggs are a natural pair of old partners , coupled with Xie Shi's craftsmanship, even an ordinary home-cooked dish still has a wonderful taste.

"The combination of fruit and eggs is so delicious, and it's easy to use as an appetizer. This dish will definitely be popular with teachers and students in the cafeteria!" Xie Ju was full of praise while eating, but at the end, he also He was speechless, after all, now he has been expelled from the position of head chef, and he is still facing the possibility of being accused by the judge.

Thinking of this, Xie Ju cleaned up a large bowl of white porridge quickly, and said to Xie Shi: "Brother Shi, father is going out in the afternoon and entrusted Granny Cai to take care of her at home. If you have anything to do, just talk to her." The same is true, when Xie Shi was ill and Xie Ju was not at home, he would ask Granny Cai next door to take care of him, and he would give him some reward afterwards, sometimes it was a few pennies, sometimes it was meat and vegetables from the cafeteria.

Xie Shi didn't respond, but put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said: "Father, are you going to the academy to find the chief Cen Shan?"

Xie Ju didn't deny it, just wiped his face, and changed the subject, "Father still has to go get my knives back." The Dameng government forbids people from privately casting iron and trading iron tools, and is very strict with knives. All iron tools must be registered with the government.But Fuzhou is located in the south, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is natural that it has been banned repeatedly.The few Xie Ju knives were custom-made, and he thought that only one would be kept, and the others should be able to sell for a lot of money.

Xie Shi: "Father, you don't need to go, I'll go."

Xie Ju was surprised: "Brother Shi, what are you going to do? Dad can take care of this matter, don't worry."

Xie Shi didn't really believe in his assurances, but after seeing Xie Ju's temperament, he knew that he was not a person with human experience, and since he took over the original seat, the safety of his family had to be safeguarded, not to mention anything else.The things Xie Ju committed were neither big nor small. In order not to become a threat in the future, he was still allowed to pay huge profits in exchange for a write-off, so he said: "I have a way to make the academy forget the past, and this matter will be done." let me go."

As mentioned earlier, Xie Ju never doubted his son, a scholar, so he didn't suspect that he was talking big when he said this, so he just asked, "Is there any trouble for you, Brother Shi?"

Xie Shi shook his head slightly: "No problem." After all, it's just a free prescription.

However, if there is a request at the door, it is natural to not leave empty-handed because of emotion and reason, but Xie Ju knows that Xie Shi also knows that Xie's family has no money to go to the pastry shop to buy expensive pastries that cost a few cents.But for Xie Shi, it's not difficult, just do it yourself.I heard that Deputy Chief Cen, who is in charge of general affairs, is a gourmet gourmet. Although Xie Shi was sure that his bargaining chips would definitely move people's hearts, but if he could match what he likes, it would be easier to talk.

Xie Shi went around, counted the remaining ingredients in the kitchen, and then decided which kind of pastry to make.I took two or six portions of white glutinous rice and japonica rice, added one portion of dried Gorgon, and one portion of Longjing tea, and ground it into a very fine powder with a small stone mill in the courtyard, and finally sifted it twice with a sieve.Stone mills are rarely used in Xie Shi, especially the ancient stone mills are even more unfamiliar, so this step is done by the strong old Xie.

In the scorching summer kitchen, the young man Ruyu in a cool shirt rolled up his sleeves, and with his slender fingers so white that veins could be seen, he added the ground fine white rice flour to the caramel soup, mixed it well, and kneaded it skillfully. Smooth dough, divided into small balls.Longjing tea powder is mixed with pounded and sieved kidney bean puree to make tender green pastry fillings. The ingredients are mixed with fillings and put into wooden molds. Longjing tea cakes only need to be steamed in a steamer.

You can’t just give one kind of pastry as a gift, it’s not rich enough, so Xie Shi thought about it, and took bergamot, mung beans, wax gourd, etc. to make a drawer of bergamot cloud cake.Bergamot is a common thing in the Lingnan area. After drying, it can be soaked in water or made into dried fruit. This bergamot cloud cake is actually mung bean cake with bergamot filling.Xie Shi also found a small cup of sweet-scented osmanthus, so he made a sweet-scented osmanthus cake with great interest.

Wait until all three kinds of cakes are steamed in a steamer, take them out to enjoy the coolness and eat them.Xie Shi made a total of three drawers, twelve in each drawer, took out six of each kind and put them in the food box as a gift, and kept the rest for his own use, and asked Mr. Xie to give a copy to Granny Cai next door. In order to thank her for her care these days.

Since Xie Shi came here through time travel, his behavior and temperament are actually quite different from the original owner. He has been cooking again and again today, and his skills are not a one-day effort. It's weird, Xie Shi has the memory of the original owner, but it's more like watching an unforgettable TV series, the story is the story, you don't feel like you are the protagonist of the TV series.

However, if Xie Shi is allowed to bear his temper and imitate others to live, then Xie Shi would rather not have another chance, and he only wants to be a free and idle person in the world of mortals in this life.Therefore, he did not hide his cooking skills, and Mr. Xie may have a great filter for his son, so he didn't mention it, so now the father and son live in peace for the time being.Shaking off the thoughts in his head, Xie Shi went back to the house to have a rest, changed into the wide-sleeved shirt that he wore when he went out, wore a Confucian scarf, took the handwriting written last night, put on the food box, and headed for Dongcang Academy.
