[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden
Chapter 26 Lotus Root Starch and Cinnamon Sugar Cake
On the cart back to Jia's mansion, Lin Xiaohong asked, "Mei'er, what's the matter with you, you were too lazy to talk all the way!"
Liu Mei lay half-lying in a daze, she was trying to straighten out the multi-angle relationship that she just saw in Hongshun Tower.
"Baoyu and Jiang Qiguan hit it off and admired each other. So Qiguan gave Baoyu a gift of Qian Xiangluo, and Baoyu gave Qiguan a sweat towel that belonged to Xiren..."
"But this Jiang Qiguan is an actor in the Palace of Zhongshun, and the piece of Qianxiangluo was given to him by King Beijing..."
It's just too complicated.
"Mei'er, what are you talking about?" Lin Xiaohong asked with a smile on the side.
Liu Mei quickly shook her head, "Nothing!"
"You made a great contribution today, and our grandma will definitely reward you heavily in the future!" Xiao Hong smiled from the bottom of her heart, she was really happy for Liu Mei.
"You didn't see Chef Shao like that just now! After listening to Shopkeeper Yang's talk about what happened today, I was so shocked that my eyes almost fell to the ground." Xiaohong said with complacency, "He is a cook, and he wants to be with you Our grandma challenged her, and she didn't weigh how much she weighed."
Liu Mei forced herself to sit up from the cart, and asked, "Is Chef Shao not sick?"
Xiaohong coughed, and replied: "How could he be really sick? No, after hearing the news, why don't you honestly come back to see shopkeeper Yang?"
Then Xiaohong sincerely thanked Liu Mei: "Mei'er, I am thankful for having you today. If you hadn't reminded me...you can take Chef Shao down for at least two or three years if you take action this time."
What Xiaohong was talking about was that Liu Mei helped Hongshun Building to tide over the difficulties today. She took charge of the kitchen as a little girl and dealt with the extremely hard-to-serve Prince Zhongshun. Nothing, but there are endless complaints in the dark.Therefore, this person lost the capital to negotiate conditions with Hongshun's landlord's family, and could only continue to do so honestly in his current position.
"Then I... don't need to go to Hongshun Tower to help tomorrow?" Liu Mei asked in a daze.
Didn't she become a junior cook?Could it be that she will still be a second-class maid in the future?
"Of course you don't need it!" Xiaohong gave Liu Mei a strange look, "The work in Hongshunlou is so hard, and you spend all day with those servants and cooks, do you want to go?"
Liu Mei gave a wry smile, she didn't want to either - in Hongshun Tower, she had to face Chef Shao whom she had "crushed" before, how difficult it is to have interpersonal relationships!However, even so, being able to do a little of what one likes to do is better than spending time in the Grand View Garden all day long.
"Reminder, there will be a short delay for this upgrade, please wait patiently." The system kindly pushed a reminder, which lifted Liu Mei's spirit a little.
"However, Mei'er, you must not think that our grandma is the kind of person who crosses rivers and destroys bridges. After using you, she throws you behind her head." Xiao Hong stared at Liu Mei's eyes and added.
"Our grandma has already said that you are a good steel, so you must use it wisely. Just wait, maybe it will be tomorrow, and there will be results!" Xiaohong was mysterious, and Liu Mei didn't know her What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.
When Liu Mei returned to Yihong Courtyard, Baoyu had not yet returned.
Xiren is naturally like an ant on a hot pot, sending people outside to ask again and again.
Liu Mei went to ask for hot water, and went back to the house to wash herself. Before she finished cleaning up, she only heard the commotion outside. She knew that Baoyu had returned, but she was really lazy and fell asleep first. How did Baoyu explain the sweat towel to Xiren in the end?
"Meier, Meier..."
"Wu'er...Sister? Why did you also enter the garden?" Liu Mei rubbed her eyes in a daze, looking at the shadow in front of her, very surprised.
"Mei'er, I was originally the one on the supplementary book, but I taught you to take up my seat for no reason. You...you will return my seat soon?"
Liu Mei hasn't fully woken up yet: What is "another copy"?
After a while, Liu Mei suddenly came to her senses: the second volume that Liu Wuer was talking about was the spoiler version of the pamphlet that Baoyu had read in the illusionary world—the second volume of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling by Bo Mingsi.
Liu Mei consciously broke out in a cold sweat behind her back: According to research, Liu Wu'er is listed in the sub-book, and she knows this.But how could she take Liu Wu'er's place and stay in the side book by herself?
"Return my position quickly..." Liu Wu'er called out loudly from a distance.
Liu Mei also became anxious, "Hurry up and change me back, I don't want your position!"
She doesn't want to sink with the wrecked ship of Jia's mansion!
Immediately afterwards, a monk and a figure, one fat and one thin, appeared in front of him.
"You idiot..." The bald monk with a big bald head approached Liu Mei, and Liu Mei immediately snapped back angrily: "You are an idiot, your whole family are all idiots!" It was her instinct to hate others.
The scarlet-headed monk never expected to be so angry by Liu Mei, and he was suddenly "sprayed" by Liu Mei so that he took two steps back and patted his heart, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.
"Ahem, we came here without malice." The crippled Taoist next to him hurriedly persuaded him, "I just want to remind you—the time in this world is so fast, and the world is full of fate, as if you snap your fingers. You can try it yourself The food and drink in the Red Mansion, so far, is only two or three out of ten..."
"I got it, I got it!" Liu Mei was hurt by what he said, and with a "wow", she turned over from the couch and sat up, her mind became clear, and she realized that it was Nan Keyi Meng.
It's just that after waking up from this dream, it's hard to go back, and Liu Mei woke up in a moment with bright eyes.Seeing that the window paper started to turn white and shiny, Liu Mei simply stopped sleeping, got up to wash up, and walked along the path in the Grand View Garden to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
A few days ago, she hastily instructed Xueyan to cook some porridge for Daiyu's son, and then left to make jujube paste and yam cake by herself.Thinking about it now, I still feel a little uneasy.
It was still early, when Liu Mei came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she had already seen Zijuan come out to open the gate of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"Ah, Meier, it's so early!" Zijuan greeted with a smile.
"Sister Zijuan, you also wake up so early?" Liu Mei was a little embarrassed - if she hadn't had a nightmare and woke up with that monk, she wouldn't have been able to wake up so early.
"Our girl feels light, and usually wakes up early." Zijuan explained to Liu Mei, "You came just in time, Xueyan still wants to find you!"
"Oh!" Liu Mei responded, thinking silently in her heart: In the future, I still have to find a way to prepare some ingredients for Daiyu that can calm the nerves and help her sleep.
She turned around the zigzag corridor in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and went to the residence of Xueyan and others in the backyard. From a distance, she saw Daiyu standing in the courtyard, reaching out to tease the parrot in the corridor, teaching it to read poems, but what she read was Zhang Jiuling's "Grass and trees have their own hearts, so why ask for beautiful women to break them."
When Liu Mei rushed to Xue Yan's place when she was young, Xue Yan rushed to Liu Mei with a smile, "Sister Mei——"
Behind her is a small silver choko, and green rice is being cooked in the balcony.
"The girl said yesterday, thank you for the cakes, and thank you for the recipes."
"What recipe?" Liu Mei was a little puzzled.
"Rice oil!" Xueyan smiled and pointed to Ginchoko behind her. "Our girl said that the method of boiling rice soup and rice oil was originally recorded in ancient books. Fortunately, you also know it. If I knew that rice oil nourishes the body, I would have boiled it for our girl."
But this rice oil is only liquid after all, it is not enough to eat only this.
Liu Mei tugged at Xueyan, asked a few more questions, and sighed, feeling that the food conditions in the Xiaoxiang Hall hadn't improved significantly.While it was still early, she had to hurry to the big kitchen of the Rong Mansion.Not only for Daiyu's sake, but also for her own sake, she had to cook some food in the Red Mansion.
After seeing the snow geese, Liu Mei immediately rushed to the big kitchen of the Rong Mansion.The lady in charge of the outside kitchen that Feng Er took her to meet earlier, Yao Shi, saw her coming alone, she didn't like to see her, she just said: "The big kitchen outside is currently busy making meals for the courtyards in the morning. I'm too busy to take care of you!"
Liu Mei didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Yao, I don't need others to take care of me. I just use the small stove over there."
Mrs. Yao pursed her lips. Sister Feng's people had greeted her earlier, so she naturally couldn't refute, so she immediately smiled and said, "That's fine, just don't make trouble for the big guys."
Liu Mei agreed, and went to the small stove in the inner room, stuck out her tongue, thinking: this big kitchen treats Xiaoxiang restaurant poorly, and I don't know if there is Yao's help in it.
Turning around and entering the small kitchen, Liu Mei turned over the ingredients on the shelves, and saw that rice noodles, oil and sugar were all available, but only these alone, Liu Mei still felt that it was difficult to make a decent red building dim sum.
"System, Brother System..."
Liu Mei summoned her system.
"How many system gold coins do I have?"
"System money, balance: 56."
56 system gold coins?Liu Mei was a little strange, she remembered asking once before, and that time she was only in her early twenties.By the way, she made another Siamese pork and got 30 yuan, but why does it seem that the balance is still a little bit more?
"By the way, after you upgrade, your system account already has the function of earning interest."
"Oh, it's so good!" Liu Mei was very happy, her money could make money in the future, it was no longer dead money!
"Then I want to buy a good lotus root powder, and a little bit of the golden osmanthus from last time."
"This will cost you [-] system gold coins, please confirm whether to buy?" The system said in a businesslike tone.
"Remind again, the ingredients you bought this time cannot completely change the physique of Jiangzhu. Are you sure to buy?"
"Then it's just... let's keep it flowing!" Liu Mei thought, and replied, "Confirm the purchase!"
With a "ding", the system deducted her account balance to 38.Liu Mei remembered the free gift package of jujube paste and yam cake last time, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
But once she got the ingredients, she immediately felt like a duck to water—sift lotus root powder, white flour and snowflake sugar together, soak the dried osmanthus flower juice, knead it with various powders to form a ball, throw it on the chopping board to squeeze out all air bubbles, steam the steamer, Steam...
When the steaming tray was opened, a light purple, translucent lotus root powder and cinnamon sugar cake came out of the pot with the refreshing aroma of osmanthus.
The author has something to say: Liu Mei: Orz, I have only eaten 20.00% to [-]% until now, it seems that I have to continue to work hard, but I can eat vigorously.
Liu Mei lay half-lying in a daze, she was trying to straighten out the multi-angle relationship that she just saw in Hongshun Tower.
"Baoyu and Jiang Qiguan hit it off and admired each other. So Qiguan gave Baoyu a gift of Qian Xiangluo, and Baoyu gave Qiguan a sweat towel that belonged to Xiren..."
