Chapter 19 Soy milk and fried dough sticks (1)

Wen Mingtang had been thinking about the vegetables delivered by Zhuangzi for a day. When it was her turn, all the fresh vegetables had been taken away, and what was left were two packages of dried seafood pickled in the same small jar.

One package of dried seafood contains dried seaweed, and the other package contains dried shrimps. As for the small jar of pickled cabbage, I heard that Master Wang and Master Sun specially said "hello" to them for the morning meal.

Left behind by the master.

Wen Mingtang brought two packages of seafood and pickled cabbage back to the public kitchen lobby. Ah Bing and Tang Yuan, who were waiting for her in the lobby, saw the small jar of pickled cabbage and two packages of seafood that Wen Mingtang brought.

, couldn't help but feel depressed again.

Tangyuan said unceremoniously: "Master Wang and Master Sun must have done this on purpose! With their skills... Which lunch and evening meal didn't have a lot left over? Did they use so many vegetables? This is not in vain.

What is waste?”

Abing also followed and responded: "That's right! Master Wang and Master Sun have always been messing around. When Master Wei was here..."

Before he finished speaking, Abing, who suddenly realized that he was speechless, immediately fell silent, coughed quickly, and changed the topic: "In short, the two of them are not very good at craftsmanship, but this is the most delicate thing. Master Wen needs to be careful.

some!"

At the moment, Master Wen's breakfast has not caused a stir, but A Bing feels that with Master Wen's skills, it will be a matter of time before everyone comes to the public kitchen to eat breakfast. When the time comes, the king, who is not very good at craftsmanship but has a lot of ideas, will

, Master Sun, if you know this, you might make some trouble!

Wen Mingtang was not surprised by this.

If you change your duties at any place in the palace, there will be quarrels if there is no competition for positions! Not to mention that the position of the head chef of the public kitchen is still vacant. For now, although the old man Jiang from the Imperial College next door is asked to take over temporarily, it will not last long.

Guess, the Dali Temple public chef will have his own chef sooner or later. When there is a new cook and cook, there will be many people competing for it, so naturally we have to find a way to squeeze them out.

Speaking of which…

Wen Mingtang looked at Ah Bing, who was winking at Tangyuan, and asked curiously: "Ah Bing, the Master Wei you just mentioned refers to..."

Ah Bing and Tang Yuan suddenly froze after asking a question. When they met Wen Mingtang's gaze, they couldn't refuse. Ah Bing said: "The former chef was discovered by Lin Shaoqing to be a fugitive and was captured by his own hands.

that!"

It turns out that Master Wei is a fugitive who has been on the run for many years!

"Master Wei's cooking skills are indeed better than those of Master Wang and Master Sun, but," A Bing said, "You still can't compare with Master Wen!"

Ever since he ate that bowl of fried noodles, Ah Bing has been convinced of Wen Mingtang's cooking skills: After all, he can make noodles without vegetables, meat, and eggs so delicious. Is this cooking skill beyond the reach of ordinary people?

Than?

Wen Mingtang smiled and said nothing. He just opened the jar of pickled cabbage heads, took out the pickled cabbage heads with chopsticks, and tasted the taste.

"The pickled cabbage head is moderately salty and fresh, not bad!" Wen Mingtang nodded and praised after tasting the pickled cabbage head.

Seeing this, A Bingtong and the glutinous rice balls said hurriedly: "The pickles on Zhuangzi are indeed quite good, and they go well with porridge."

But why did Master Wang and Master Sun deliberately leave a jar of pickles for Master Wen? Did they want Master Wen to cook white porridge for breakfast like them?

It’s not that I dislike white porridge. In fact, it’s good to eat white porridge once in a while! It’s just that when Master Wang and Master Sun had white porridge every three days, it had already become boring. As of now, I haven’t recovered from the boring taste! So...

…It’s a bit unbearable to still eat plain porridge!

Just as he was complaining about the little actions of Master Wang and Master Sun, Master Wang, who was making evening food, came to the lobby. As soon as he entered the door, he said with a smile: "Master Wei, Ji Caimai asked you to get the ingredients!"

After the evening meal, it is time for the three food cooks to receive the ingredients.

After leading Wen Mingtang into the public kitchen's warehouse, Master Wang did not leave. Instead, he stood outside the warehouse and exchanged pleasantries with Ji Caimai.

Ah Bing and Tang Yuan, who followed Wen Mingtang into the warehouse, saw this and couldn't help but said: "Master Wang is the most petty. He must have found out somewhere that Master Wen's fried noodles are delicious, and he felt unhappy.

I’m thinking of stumbling upon Master Wen!”

Wen Mingtang glanced at Master Wang, who was chatting nonsense with Ji Chou, and smiled. He looked at the ingredients on the floor of the warehouse, thought about it, took some soybeans and flour and walked out.

Looking at the soybeans in Wen Mingtang's hand, Master Wang, who was seriously chatting with Ji Ji, was distracted in time and looked over at her, and then said "enthusiastically": "Master Wen, is it possible to make soy milk for breakfast tomorrow?"

Wen Mingtang nodded and smiled: "Use flour to make some sugar cakes to drink with soy milk!"

When Master Wang heard this, he also smiled and complimented: "It's quite a good meal. Master Wen is indeed very skillful!"

The two of them were obviously talking with a smile, but Ah Bing and Tang Yuan, who were following Wen Mingtang, felt inexplicably strange when they heard this. They always felt that the atmosphere of this conversation and laughter was a bit subtle.

Ji Caimai half-closed his eyes and became "deaf" at the right time, until Wen Mingtang spoke first and said: "In this case, I will go back first! You need to get up early to make the morning meal, and you have to go to bed early at night."

Ji Caimai then nodded towards her, his "deafness" recovered, and said: "Master Wen, go ahead!"

After some polite exchanges, the feeling of "the sword's light and the shadow of the sword" was expressed.

After Wen Mingtang led Ah Bing and Tangyuan away, Ji Caimai looked at Master Wang and said, "No matter how much you want to drive people away, the bottom line must not be touched! If the bottom line is touched, what should not be added to the food?"

, if there is a problem with eating, don’t blame me for falling out!”

He knew very well the level of Master Wang and Master Sun. They fought overtly and covertly for the position of head chef, and often squeezed out the new cooks and cooks.

Ji Caimai turned a blind eye, but he saw everything.

It didn’t make too much trouble, so I just let them go!

Today, regarding Zhuangzi's vegetables, he knew that these two people had left a pickled head and two packets of dried seafood for Wen Mingtang that would not be used in the morning meal, so he went out of his way to pick them up.

Master Wang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he nodded in agreement.

After Ji Cai bought the key and left, he snorted coldly and went to see Master Sun.

"She received the soybeans and flour and said she was going to make soy milk and sugar cakes tomorrow." Master Wang said and looked at Master Sun and sneered, "This new guy seems to have some skills!"

Those few servants were full of praise for her so-called oily noodles, and they also agreed to go to eat the morning meal tomorrow. Unexpectedly, this young cook knew a lot of tricks, even soy milk

Can do anything.

It seems that the people from the imperial dining room in this palace do have some skills!

"Ji Caimai asked us to fight until we fight. Don't make a big deal out of it. He might be the first to let us go if something goes wrong!" Master Wang paused and then said, "The surnamed Sun, let's see... what should we do?"

"It doesn't matter!" Master Sun smiled when he heard this, raised his eyebrows meaningfully, and said, "I'm going to make some beets with sugar tomorrow. If I take the sugar first, it doesn't violate the rules!"

Both the soy milk and sugar biscuits require sugar, so he took the sugar in advance to see how this "smart woman" could "make a meal without rice again" this time!

There is something a little slow in updating today, but it will be the same tomorrow as usual
