Chapter 242 Through-flower cake

The curfew in Luoyang is always stricter than that in Quwo, and Yinshi is far from being lifted. The chef team of Ding Shi Ji arrived at Wang's house the day before, and Wang Jinzhi ordered someone to clean up a guest house to accommodate them.

.

Around Yinchu time, the cooks at Ding Shi Ji started to work one after another.

A banquet for two hundred and forty people cannot be careless. Everything must be prepared in advance.

In the kitchen courtyard, several women who had gone to bed at night watched curiously as a group of men and women lined up in four rows, standing in the courtyard, listening to Qiao Yun's words.

The little lady was wearing an apron and a headscarf, with one hand on her hips and the other hand holding a trumpet rolled from papyrus to her mouth. Her little appearance was cute, funny, and extremely annoying.

"Thank you for letting you get up so early today! However, this big banquet is not a trivial matter. It is not only about whether I can stand in our big and small headquarters, but also about our dining history.

face. so

Therefore, we would rather suffer today and rest later, but we must also cheer up and get things done. If something goes wrong, it will tarnish our reputation. Even if I want to protect you, Shopkeeper Peng will do it.

They will turn against each other and disown others."

Everyone said yes one after another.

Another woman smiled and said: "My boss said so, how dare we disobey? This is the first time our building has hosted such a family banquet. We will do our best to prevent our sign from getting dusty."

Qiao Yun was very satisfied with their correct attitude: "Okay, no more gossiping, let's get to work."

"yes!"

The Wang family's large kitchen is larger than the main courtyard of an ordinary family, and has more than a dozen stoves. This time, Ding Shi Ji's usual team of cooks for large banquets are here, and all the cooks in the Wang family's large kitchen have been laid off.

Fake. At this moment, seven or eight people are washing vegetables and carving fish.

“The shrimps this time are so big!”

Mrs. Xue was going to handle the shrimps, cut their backs and pick the shrimp threads. She touched the edge of the water tank and grabbed it, and she was shocked. The lively shrimps were half as big as her palm!

Qiao Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "Maybe it's a good product specially sent by Zhuangzi."

Mrs. Xue kept chanting Buddha's name and said that even the restaurant had never sold such big shrimps before.

Yesterday, Qiao Yun specially changed all the ingredients that could be replaced. For this reason, Qiao Yun specifically did not let these cooks touch the delivered ingredients, but asked the original people in the Wang family's kitchen to help move them in. In this way, the cooks

She had never seen the ingredients and had never cooked before, so she had the opportunity to start.

"Ah, the soup stock has been cooked?" Chef Xue saw two huge earthen pots simmering slowly on low heat. When he walked over and opened the lids, a rich aroma hit his nostrils.

"Oh, I'm so hungry when I smell this aroma." A woman who was choosing vegetables sniffed repeatedly.

Qiao Yun smiled and stood aside cutting agate radishes: "I haven't slept yet."

The woman was startled and hurriedly called her man over: "Master, please take care of yourself and take over the boss's work so that she can be less busy. She is growing up, how can she stay up all night?"

Immediately, two or three men walked over and said, "Master, you go and have a rest while we cut it."

Qiao Yun then left the desk and ordered: "When cutting the comb teeth, be sure not to cut them off."

"I know, just put the chopsticks on it. How can we still do this?" A cook laughed, took the knife, put the agate radish on the chopsticks, and the cold blade started to fly.

"Have you ever seen how to pickle radishes? I made them for you during the tasting that day. There are exactly two hundred and forty agate radishes for each guest, so don't make them bad!"

A cook who was grazing orange peels with a grater also said with a smile: "I know, I know, boss, don't worry about it, go and get some sleep."

Qiao Yun was still uneasy and was about to be pushed out of the kitchen door. She turned around and warned carefully: "Every other dish is good, but this one radish must not go wrong!"

"Okay, okay, if you keep talking, they will get nervous." The woman washing vegetables smiled from ear to ear.

Qiao Yun thought about it, don't let herself read the flag again, and stopped. She left the kitchen and went to the duty room nearby to borrow a low couch for a while.

The maid of the Wang family who was spending the night outside was thinking about the bowl of hot soup cakes before midnight, and she felt pity for her as a delicate-looking little person. She was afraid that the bed where the ladies slept would pickle her, so she specially ordered the wife who had raised a young lady at home.

He went back to his room and brought the bedding that his daughter had made, cleaned the soft couch for her as if he were serving a daughter, changed the pillows and sheets, and brought hot water to wipe her face.

Qiao Yun squinted for about two hours, and when she woke up, it was already broad daylight.

I took a look inside my game backpack and saw that it was almost ten o'clock!

She quickly got up from the soft couch, washed her face and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen is very busy at the moment. The smell of the stewed meat, the refreshing vegetable soup, the sweetness of the baked snacks, and the heat of the fried dried chili peppers all come together at once. They rush out of the cage along the chimney, and follow the spring breeze to the surroundings.

Spread out.

The servants of the Wang family also started to get busy.

A dozen women and boys opened the warehouse, carried tables, carried chairs, and some were busy spreading red blankets on the ground, while others were busy carrying screens to surround the venue. Although they were busy, they were busy.

Methodical and orderly in chaos.

The servants brought out the boxwood flower cabinet that was rarely used from the warehouse, picked out the peonies that bloomed better from the flower room, cut them with the branches and leaves, and decorated them on the flower basket of the flower cabinet.

I carried out a large vase that was nearly half a person's height, cut out the crabapple branches and peach blossom branches that were blooming in the garden, made a flower arrangement, and decorated it at the banquet venue.

A woman anxiously approached the small kitchen courtyard with thirty maids who were as green as green onions. The woman arranged for the maids to wait, then she went into the house first and asked: "There are guests outside who have arrived first. Have you prepared anything yet?"

The snacks, or cut fruits, etc., should be brought out first, otherwise, wouldn’t the guests outside have to drink tea dry?”

"Everything is ready." Qiao Yun clapped her hands, and two muscular young men brought out a small table with six large plates and snacks piled into a mountain. Qiao Yun pointed: "Is that enough? Hurry up.

Just pretend."

This batch of snacks for guests are almost all transparent rice dumplings, all kinds of transparent rice dumplings. She took them out of the game last night when people were not around.

She took the recipe and originally wanted to do it herself, but it was a delicate job. No matter how many lamps she lit at night, it would never be as bright as the sun. She pinched two and found that it hurt her eyes to stare at them, so she lost her patience and decided to just do it directly.

Taken from the game.

There are lotus paste fillings shaped like peonies, custard fillings shaped like bright yellow ginkgo leaves, turquoise lotus leaves with dewdrops, and red maple leaves with a hint of autumn. They are brightly colored, even with petals.

The vein patterns on the leaves are all lifelike, and it can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into them.

These are served with tea, and are placed as snacks in the flower hall, not on the banquet table. Qiao Yun knows that they usually don't eat more. After all, who comes to a banquet and fills their stomach with snacks before eating the main meal? Therefore, the taste does not have to be

What a novelty, as long as the shape is exquisite and beautiful, it is enough to support the scene.

When the snacks were brought out, the thirty maids could not suppress their love and exclaimed "Wow" one after another.

Even the movements of filling the food boxes were much gentler.

Who would want to eat such a delicious snack that looks like a work of art?

Even the foreman's mother-in-law, although she has long passed the age of young girls with excited hearts, couldn't help but look at Qiao Yungao when she saw this snack. She praised: "It seems that you are really capable!"

Among the guests coming today are distinguished guests from the East Palace. Putting out this snack will not only make the Wang family look good, but if it catches the eyes of the nobles, I am afraid she will be able to rise to prominence from now on!
