Facing Master's difficult problem, Lu Ying felt it couldn't be easier, "How difficult is it to know the taste of Ping Guogong? If you invite the county magistrate to try it, you will know."

But Yu Sansheng glanced at her, "Mrs. Pingguo said that the county lord has come to the capital, and he can't remember the smell."

how so?Lu Ying frowned slightly, she had also heard about the deeds of this beggar county lord, but no matter what, her own father was ill, how could she have such a reason to push it aside?

But the housework of these dignitaries is not something cooks like them can worry about, so they can only think about how to solve it.

The master and apprentice were worrying, and Yu Sansheng suddenly thought of a way, "Do you know where there is someone who makes tofu? Why don't you just buy a copy and try it?"

Tofu?It seems to have been heard.By the way, it's the girl surnamed Mu!Lu Ying remembered that Nianfu once said that her family was the ancestor of making tofu.She can even make crystal rolls, maybe tofu is even better?Then should I invite her...

Do not!

Lu Ying suddenly aroused a sense of competitiveness. With her own cooking skills, why did she ask others for help?

"Master, I think Duke Ping used to eat folk food, so it's not as good as the exquisite workmanship in the imperial dining room. Why don't we make it so meticulous and use the folk method to make a bowl of ordinary tofu. ,what do you think?"

"This—is a way." But after Yu Sansheng nodded, he looked at his apprentice in surprise, "You always say that you can't get tired of eating, and you never think so. How come you know how to change it today?"

Lu Ying choked up, and then realized it.Unknowingly, I still listened to Sister Mu's words in my heart.Food should not only be shared with a few people, but should also be shared with more people.

Ordinary delicacies should also be delicious.

Then let her prepare this bowl of "ordinary" tofu flower.

When Ouyang Kang came home from the banquet, he saw Wangcai squatting at the door of the kitchen dutifully, playing with his little paws and big furry tail.Seeing him coming back, he turned his head to take a look, and uttered two whimpers as a greeting.Then he continued to scratch his neck with his hind paws, without any intention of moving away.Seeing this posture, Ouyang Kang knew that someone must be busy in the kitchen again.

Probe to the window and asked with a smile, "What are you busy with?"

"Don't talk to me, I'm not free!" Nianfu continued to work on her new sauce without looking back, trying to recall what ingredients Lu Ying used to cook the soup.

certainly.She doesn’t know how to copy, and besides, she can’t afford abalone, so she bought some cheap shrimp and chicken racks, trying to cook them with the same delicious taste.

"You don't have time to talk to me, do you have time to open your mouth and taste this?" Ouyang Kang took out two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake wrapped in a clean handkerchief from his sleeve, coughing.He didn't have the nerve to pick up the sweet-scented osmanthus from Pingguo's mansion, but in the end he got two cakes.

The people in Pingguo Mansion are not very good.But the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Pingguo Mansion is really good.Since it is a good thing, of course it must be shared with Little Chef Mu.Maybe she can do better?

Young Master Ouyang's little calculations are getting better and better, but Nianfu gave him an impatient big roll of his eyes, "Didn't you see that he is busy? What's the matter! Hey, it smells so good."

Food itself is the biggest persuasive force. When Nianfu's nose smelled the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, his impatient expression turned over like a book.

Ahhhhhhh.At the bottom of Ouyang Kang's feet, the little hairball who had been lukewarm to him just now has jumped over graciously.He licked his shoes passionately.

"Nothing!" It's contemptuous to be so pretentious and then condescending.Young Master Ouyang glared at Wangcai, but looked at the same person who turned his face like a book and said proudly, "Is it delicious? Try it quickly, it tastes very good. I heard that it is marinated with sweet-scented osmanthus flowers that have been cellared for three years and spices." Made it."

Nianfu took a piece of cake, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes, spices? Why didn't I think of it?"

Quickly took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and smacked its taste in his mouth, "Well, it's really good. There should be a lot of things in it, but what did you put in it?"

Ouyang Kang didn't know about it, so he broke off another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and fed it to the worthless little guy at his feet, while still handing the other half to Nian Fu, "Let's study it by yourself."

Nianfu agreed, accepted the cake bluntly, twisted a small piece, and pondered carefully.Seeing her smelling all kinds of spices in the house, smelling the cake, and thinking about it seriously while tasting the taste, Ouyang Kang smiled and didn't bother, and went to busy with his business.

Since having Zhong Shan, there is no more money and a lot of housework chores to upset Ouyang. Instead, there is a clear housework report and organized money accounts, which is much easier to deal with.Not long after finishing the housework, Ouyang Kang was about to ask Zhong Shan to come over to discuss a few things, but Zhong Shan came up by himself.

"Master, have you read the accounts? Are you free to go down and look at the tidy living room now?"

People with winking eyes are relieved to use it, Ouyang Kang readily agreed and followed him downstairs.

However, when he entered the house before, he had already tidied it up to a considerable scale. Nianfu proposed to hang up curtains before, but in that case, the problem of lighting would not be easy to solve. In order to take into account both aesthetics and practicality, Zhong Shan went to buy a batch of bamboo curtains .Bamboo curtains are heavier than cloth curtains, so they can block the wind when lowered, and let light in when rolled up.

Moreover, bamboo curtains are cheaper than cloth curtains. If you paint some plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums on them, the literati style of the whole room will immediately rise.Then, before it was too cold, I transplanted some bamboo, pine and cypress and other winter flowers and trees from the garden, trimmed and arranged them, and decorated with some colorful chrysanthemums. The overall feeling is very good.

Ouyang Kang was very satisfied with it, but Zhong Shan still had regrets, "It's okay to eat here, but it is reasonable to prepare a few more rooms for the guests to change clothes and rest, but I asked the craftsman, no matter how to save, those bedding Furnishings cannot be spared, and may have to be put aside for the time being."

Ouyang Kang thought of the 1000 taels left by his sister, hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is still some money at home..."

Unexpectedly, Zhong Shan smiled slyly, "Actually, the young master doesn't have to worry about not treating guests well, and it may not be beneficial to let the guests look shabby. After all, the young master is living away from home, and if he does it too well, it will make people gossip .Besides, you will praise your benevolence only after collecting the guest's gift money later, tidying up the guest room and letting the guests come back to watch."

Uh... well, Ouyang Kang has learned another trick. "anymore question?"

Zhong Shan stopped joking this time, and took out a menu from his sleeve, "That's it, there are still some questions."

This is an assignment that Nianfu is in charge of, so what's the problem?

After listening to Zhong Shan's explanation, Ouyang Kang fell silent.Mo Ran put the menu back into his sleeve, motioned him to do some work, and went to Nian Fu's place.

Just when the new sauce that Nianfu tested was out of the pan, poured it on the rice rolls just out of the cage, and handed a copy to Ouyang Kang, Nianfu asked a little nervously, "How?"

Well, Ouyang Kang nodded, "Not bad."

"Then how do you feel compared to before?"

Well, Ouyang Kang thought for a long time, "It seems to be a little fresher."

"Then what's the difference?"

Uh, Ouyang Kang can't eat anymore.

"Waste!" Nianfu rolled his eyes angrily, feeling somewhat discouraged.

She has eaten Lu Ying's rice rolls, so she naturally knows that there is still a big gap between what she makes and hers, but where is the difference?She couldn't eat it herself.Is it necessary to use those precious ingredients to stew the most delicious taste?

Nianfu felt rather depressed and unhappy.

It doesn't feel good to be inferior to others, especially when you open a cheat and can't compare to a local girl. This feeling is really frustrating.Even Wangcai turned his belly over to show off his cuteness, but Nianfu couldn't lift his spirits.

Seeing her like this, Ouyang Kang couldn't take out the menu hidden in his sleeve no matter what.But if you don't say it, the treat will be gone for a few days, what will you do then?

"What's the matter with you?" Or Nianfu saw that he had something to say, so he took the initiative to ask.

Ouyang Kang had no choice but to take out the menu, and told her in embarrassment, "Zhong Shan said, we might have to invite a cook to help."

Although the few dishes prepared by Nianfu were quite distinctive, Zhong Shan also honestly told Ouyang Kang that they were not up-to-date.

Although showing off its smallness can also please people, but if you really want to hold a banquet, it is not something that a half-hearted cook like Nianfu can do.

To give the simplest example, it is impossible to cut a cooked chicken into pieces and put it on a flower plate to chant blessings, let alone those dishes that require knife skills.Maybe these things are useless, but if you don't use it, it won't show the grade.Although Ouyang Kang is not rich, the guests he invites are all experienced, so it's not easy to make a table of scallion pancakes to send the guests away, right?

After eating Nianfu's food for so long, Ouyang Kang certainly knows what level she is.There is no problem with home-cooked dishes, and there is no problem with innovation, but the appearance is really not professional enough.But Ouyang Kang felt that the problem was not with her. His sister Mu was not a professional cook, so why did she ask so much?

That's why Ouyang Kang went through many twists and turns before pointing out the problem to her euphemistically, "...the main reason is that I'm afraid that the husband will be picky, otherwise, Yaozu and others, how can it be their turn to be picky?"

I thought that Nianfu would be unhappy after hearing this, but she just responded in a disgruntled manner, and then said reasonably, "Actually, I wanted to say this, but I forgot it in a hurry. Post, ask Zhong Shan to go to Hongxing Building and ask Chef Song to send an apprentice to help. We have dealt with each other before, so he will give this face. Hey, that's right!"

Speaking of Hong Xing Lou, Nian Fu suddenly remembered something. During the grilled prawn competition that day, there was a little beggar who was especially good at tasting. If he was invited to try this sauce for himself, would it be okay?

The moment of chanting the blessing was full of energy, "You don't need to send someone, I will go find Master Song myself!"

"Hey, I'm going to eat soon, it's not too late to go after eating."

can not wait anymore!Nianfu didn't even have time to untie the apron, put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle to call Zixiao, and then ran out. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
