Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 264 New Dishes

After passing the sweet potato field, they came to another field.

Without Tong Cheng'er asking, Guanshi Yang came over to introduce him very tactfully.

"This field grows potatoes. They want to be in the ground just like sweet potatoes, and the planting time is about the same..."

Tong Cheng'er knew the name after hearing the name.

It turns out that there are already potatoes at this time, and all she can think about now is roasted chicken with potatoes, braised potato cubes, shredded potatoes in vinegar, dry-pot potato chips, fried potato chips, French fries...

The more I think about it, the hungrier I get, especially when I think of the taste of sour vinegar potato shreds, I can't stand it.

Seeing this, Xu Zhen immediately said, "Add these potatoes to dinner."

Steward Yang didn't say anything when he heard the words, he just said: "Yes, this servant will order you to go on."

Tong Cheng'er followed Yinzhen to visit two more fields, nothing special, and she was a little tired, so she went back.

In the evening, the kitchen really made meals with sweet potatoes and potatoes. Besides these, there were some other dishes, mainly because they were afraid that sweet potatoes and potatoes would not suit their appetite, so they did this.

It turns out the kitchen was right.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are indeed good ingredients, but only if they can be made.

Both sweet potatoes and potatoes were introduced in the Ming Dynasty. Because sweet potatoes and potatoes do not have high requirements for the growing environment, some places are used as staple foods to satisfy hunger. As for the taste?
The sweet potato tastes sweet when boiled, but compared to the delicate food of the rich and the rich, the sweet potato looks a bit rough.

Although the potatoes are soft and glutinous when boiled, the taste is not as good as sweet potatoes!

In fact, the approach is nothing new.

The kitchen got sweet potatoes and potatoes, because they were new ingredients, and in the end there was only one sweet potato porridge that was passable.

This made Tong Cheng'er a little disappointed, she just wanted to eat a mouthful of sour vinegar potato shreds, and had a bowl of sweet potato porridge for dinner, and didn't touch anything else.

Seeing this, Yinzhen couldn't help feeling worried.

"What do you want to eat?"

Tong Cheng'er said truthfully: "I want to be jealous and shredded potatoes."

Vinegar potato shreds?
What it is?
"Why don't you tell me the method or taste of the vinegar potato shreds, and I'll ask the cook to make them for you?"

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback when she heard the words, and then she felt a little embarrassed: "Will it be too troublesome?"

With great fanfare.

Yinzhen shook his head: "It won't be troublesome."

In the end, Tong Cheng'er still "compromised". She missed the taste of vinegared potato shreds so much, and her appetite whetted when she thought about it.

Yinzhen asked to remove all the food from the table, and then said to Su Peisheng: "Go and call all the cooks in the kitchen."

Su Peisheng said: "Yes, this is it, my slave."

Fujin can't eat, this is indeed a major event, and there is no delay.

Su Peisheng moved very quickly, and all the cooks in the village came over in a short time.Some of these cooks were originally working in Zhuangzi, some were brought over from the mansion, and there were more than a dozen of them.

"Fu Jin happened to look at the food from the study, because there is no specific recipe, I will tell you today to see if you have the ability to recover it."

When everyone heard this, some were unhappy, while others were excited.

The ones who were upset were the cooks in Zhuangzi. After cooking for a whole day, they were very tired and didn't want to study the dishes in the book.

As for the excitement, it was naturally the people who followed from the capital.

They all know the rules of the master and Fujin, if they do well, those rewards will make people covetous.

Then Tong Chenger talked about the method of vinegar potato shreds. She can cook in modern times, but it is only at the level of home cooking, and there will be no more.

So it's very general.

Fortunately, these cooks are all real materials, after listening to them, I have a general idea in my heart.

After Tong Cheng'er finished speaking, Yinzhen sent all the cooks into the kitchen, and within two quarters of an hour, more than ten plates of "Vinegar Potato Shreds" were placed in front of Tong Cheng'er.

Tong Cheng'er smelled a tempting sour smell, and couldn't help sniffing. It smelled so good, and she felt good when she smelled it.

She picked up the chopsticks and tasted them next to each other.

The dishes that could be served tasted okay. Tong Cheng'er didn't eat any dark dishes after eating it once, but there were only two dishes, and she felt a little bit of that taste after eating it.

So two plates were left behind, and someone brought rice, and she continued to eat.

Yinzhen also ate together.

Since Tong Cheng'er became pregnant, the taste has been more sour and spicy, which suits Tong Cheng'er's taste, but it's too heavy for Yinzhen.

However, Yinzhen still ate two bowls of rice with Tong Cheng'er, and finished the two plates of vinegared potato shreds.

Tong Cheng'er was very satisfied.

When Yinzhen saw this, he immediately handed out the rewards. Everyone who participated in the event could get one tael of silver, and those two games that were selected, no one got three taels of silver.

This incident made everyone in the kitchen understand that as long as they can make something that suits Fujin's taste, rewards are indispensable.

So everyone looked at the pile of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and couldn't help but get excited. These are all worthless money!
Who doesn't want money.

The next day, Tong Cheng'er said what she wanted to eat, and the kitchen immediately made several copies, which was also the most rewarding reward she liked.

Tong Cheng'er eats like this every day, but it's a little mellow.

But she was originally thin, not ugly, but very beautiful.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have been changed to make a lot of things, cooking, making all kinds of snacks, very much in Tong Cheng'er's heart.

The two stayed in Zhuangzi for half a month, and Tong Cheng'er still hadn't had enough!Kangxi directly asked someone to bring a verbal order, saying that it was over after thinking about mistakes behind closed doors.

Of course, the main reason is that Kangxi, who has recently received a bad debt from the Ministry of Punishment, has a headache and wants Yinzhen to help him deal with it.

Although Yinzhen is reluctant to live such a comfortable life, he also knows that it is not realistic to live such a life every day.

Tong Cheng'er was by the side when Kangxi's people read the oral order, so it was not surprising.

But after the man left, Tong Cheng'er asked, "When will I go back?"

She estimated that she would go back in only two days.

She also understood the meaning of the oral order, probably because Kangxi had an errand for him to do.

Yinzhen didn't say anything about going back, but asked her: "Do you want to go back?"

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback when she heard the words, does she want to go back?
Originally, she didn't think about it, but after hearing this, she really wanted to go back, so she smiled and said, "I've lived here for half a month. Although Zhuangzi is good, he's too deserted, so I should go back."

Yinzhen heard the words and said, "That's it, I'll go back tomorrow."

Following the order, Su Peisheng immediately had the carriage ready for the return trip.

There are a lot of things to bring back this time, such as several carts of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Tong Cheng'er felt that such a delicious food should be tasted by others, since it's no fun to eat alone.

For example, brother, sister-in-law, nephew, nephew and niece of Ama Erniang, such as Sanfujin and Wufujin, of course, Yonghe Palace also has to send some, Qianqing Palace also has to send some, and the Empress Dowager’s Compassionate Palace is also indispensable. send a...

Calculated in this way, it really takes a lot.
