Chapter 71 Roast Chicken

Su Xiaomu and Yin Shi dragged the chicken over and slaughtered it.

The ingredients that have been prepared are rubbed vigorously on the chicken body where the cut is made, and green onion and ginger are put into the belly to remove the fishy smell. Salt is the most important thing.

Mrs. Yin washed all the condiments on her hands and tucked the hair that was scattered in front of her forehead behind her ears.

Only then did he have time to reply to Su Xiaomu: "If anything happens, Xiaomu, just tell me. The most important thing for my second sister-in-law right now is time. There is no reason why she doesn't have time."

The two of them then put the cooked chicken on iron forks.

Insert the iron fork into the abdomen, with the chest facing up, tie it tightly with a rope, hang the leather surface, and brush it with soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and other substances.

When everything is ready, put it into the hot oven, seal the oven mouth tightly with yellow mud, and prepare a small bowl under the oven to hold the oil that flows out during baking.

"Tomorrow there is a noble man in the city who wants me to go to their house to make pastries. I am not free. I want to ask my second sister-in-law to go to the shop and work together."

After everything was done, Su Xiaomu stuffed some more firewood under the oven and hammered her aching waist with both hands.

"My mother said before that my second sister-in-law also makes good pastries. If we can take this opportunity to go out and see the world and learn some skills, maybe our family can open a pastry shop in the city in a few years."

"Of course Second Sister-in-law is willing to have such a good opportunity! Xiaomu, you are such a good person. You always keep us in mind whenever there is a good opportunity. Second Sister-in-law... Second Sister-in-law is really grateful to you."

Mrs. Yin excitedly grabbed Su Xiaomu's hand to express her gratitude.

She looked completely different from the way she showed her teeth and claws before.

"You're welcome, second sister-in-law, we are all one family, why should one family speak two different languages?"

Su Xiaomu patted her palm comfortingly, indicating that he had no intention of bearing any grudge against her.

She always has to leave. If she leaves the Gu family, she will never come back.

She, Gu Jingcheng, and this village would never see each other again after she left.

And today, she took Mr. Yin to learn how to make pastries, which was probably the last bit of love she left for the Gu family.

Chen and Gu Ruonan have been following her in the shop these days and have learned how to make breakfast.

Gu Ruotong, as for Gu Ruotong, has just entered the school of mathematics.

After all, in this era, if she doesn't go out to show off, with her current knowledge, she is not much different from the accountant of a wealthy family.

Full of ideas, she and her two sisters-in-law worked at home all afternoon. When the roast chicken was served, Li and the others also came back from outside.

At the dinner table, the whole family looked at the two big roast chickens, and they were all dumbfounded.

Especially the eldest brother of the Gu family, whose lips couldn't help but tremble.

"Sister-in-law, are your skills so good now? You can even cook this dish!"

"I still remember the first time I saw this thing. When Jingcheng was a child, I sent him to the academy to study. Occasionally I saw a large family cooking this dish. They all said that this dish is only eaten by the emperor in the capital.

get."

"Ah? That's a pure coincidence. I saw someone selling beggar's chicken on the street today, so I boldly tried it. Since I've seen it outside, why don't I try it first and see how it tastes?

"

Su Xiaomu divided a piece with a knife and gave it to Gu Feng. She didn't expect that her eldest brother, who was usually taciturn, would be so excited when he saw this roast chicken.

"Okay, let's all try it, too. The smell of this meat makes people feel delicious!"

Gu Feng gave the meat in the bowl to Mrs. Li, and then gave the meat to his father and daughter-in-law one by one.

There was such a fuss at the dinner table, and everyone's appetite was very good.

Su Xiaomu also took this opportunity to mention to Li that she was going to take Yinshi to make cakes.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li agreed to the matter without much thought.

She was eating chicken drumsticks, and all her frowning eyebrows relaxed at this moment.

"Okay, if you think it's okay, you can take your second sister-in-law to do it, so that she won't have to do embroidery and feed the chickens at home all day."

Speaking of feeding the chickens, Mrs. Li suddenly remembered another thing and said to Su Xiaomu.

"These days, I have saved a lot of eggs at home, and apart from those used in the shop, I have two large baskets left.

When you go to town tomorrow, take all these eggs with you and see how much they can be sold for. Such good things will not be worth it if they go bad."

Nowadays, in summer, the temperature is getting higher every time.

Su Xiaomu knew there were many eggs at home, but she didn't expect so many.

She agreed to go down to sell eggs, and after dinner, she continued to teach Gu Ruotong to settle accounts.

The next day they went to the shop early.

After selling the eggs, I met Boss Zhang on the roadside. He told Su Xiaomu that the banquet would be in three days and asked her to prepare well at home these days.

He repeatedly emphasized that the person he was talking about was a very high-ranking nobleman in the city, and asked her to take the pastry making thing seriously.

Of course, Su Xiaomu agreed wholeheartedly. She was not stupid. She knew that since she had already promised to others, of course she could not do anything to offend others.

So for the past three days, she has been taking Mr. Yin to the kitchen to make pastries, especially the milk cake made last time. She taught Mr. Yin how to make it step by step.

"Second sister-in-law is really smart, but you can already make this pastry in a few days. Looking at your current skills, you can go out and open a shop right away."

Su Xiaomu distributed the prepared milk cakes to several children. She tasted a piece herself and was extremely satisfied.

"When we go there tomorrow, you will make this cake. If the host asks about it then, my second sister-in-law just remember to go and receive the reward."

"Thank you so much, Xiaomu. Let me practice again for such a good opportunity. I won't make a fool of you tomorrow."

Mrs. Yin knew that tomorrow's opportunity would be rare, and she was always nervous.

"Okay, then I'll go pack my things first."

Su Xiaomu didn't stop Yin, after all, practice makes perfect, and it's better to do more than to do less.

The next day after they entered the city, they went directly to the noble family with Boss Zhang. As expected of a wealthy family in the city, many guests had already arrived before the banquet officially started.

At this moment, the mansion is bustling with people, and everyone's face is beaming with joy. It's really lively.

They followed the boy all the way inside.

When they arrived in the kitchen, the boy spoke to them in a respectful manner, without even the slightest hint of arrogance.

"Sorry to trouble Madam and Mr. Zhang. The east and west kitchens have been prepared. I hope Madam and Mr. Zhang can move quickly. There are many guests today and we need more cakes."

"Yes, let's take action now and won't waste your nobles' time."

Su Xiaomu looked at the rice noodles on the table and already thought about what pastries to make.

Since it was a special occasion for Zhang, she also gave many festive names to the pastries she made.

Fish leaping to the top, phoenixes dreaming drunkenly, purple air coming from the east, fragrance filling the city, dragons soaring all over the world, etc., one after another towards the front hall.

As for Yin's most famous milk cake, she gave it a soft and glutinous name: crispy meatballs.

After making the first batch of pastries, Su Xiaomu and the others could take a break and only wait for the pastries in the front hall to be eaten before adding more.

But she was thinking that the lady in the house had just given birth and must still be a little weak at the moment.
