The steamed buns were very big, and there were five of them. It was obviously not enough for Zhang Mu alone. Hearing Zhang Mu say it was delicious, the lady also took a steamed bun and took a bite. Then she discovered that the Wen family's steamed buns were actually very delicious.
It is very different from the steamed buns outside.
The outer shell of the steamed bun is soft and chewy, and the red bean paste inside has a soft, glutinous and sweet texture. She feels that it is wrong to call it a steamed bun. It should be called a pastry. "It's really good, or...
Mu'er knows how to eat."
Zhang Mu said with a happy face: "Mu'er has finally discovered that the food of the Wen family cannot be judged solely by appearance. Their food is generally not good-looking, but the taste in your mouth cannot be matched by anyone outside."
After saying that, Zhang Mu suddenly became interested in the porridge in the bowl, "Mom, I think this porridge should be good too."
Zhang Mu picked up the porridge and took a bite, but it was no different from the porridge outside. But when she saw a plate of pickles next to her, she had an idea and poured a little of the pickles in the plate into the porridge.
The white porridge with the pickles is no longer ordinary. Zhang Mu said happily: "Mom, this porridge tastes really good with these pickles. Please try it quickly."
The pickles prepared by Wen Xin were still the three-piece set that I found before, and this three-piece set is also the most suitable for porridge. The taste will not be bad when paired with white porridge. The lady took a bite of the pickles and said in surprise: "Not bad, this
I have never tasted the taste of pickles outside."
The mother and daughter ate up the porridge and steamed buns in a few more mouthfuls. When they handed the finished bowl out, their stomachs were already full. Zhang Mu leaned against the back of the chair and burped. It was obvious that
The lady looked like she couldn't eat anything anymore, which made the lady laugh. She said with a doting look on her face: "Why are you still acting like a child? If you can't eat, why don't you eat less?"
Zhang Mu said: "Aren't I worried that if I eat less, I won't be able to eat the next meal? It will definitely be difficult for us to eat such delicious food again this time."
Madam Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment when she said this, and then she thought of this problem, but it was not difficult. Madam said: "If you like the Wen family's craftsmanship so much, then just ask the Wen family to be our cooks."
Well."
Zhang Mu said: "That's okay, but are they willing? Mom, we can't take them back by force. It will be bad by then."
"I know, let's ask first, if she has this idea and why she doesn't want to do it, we can just give her some money. If she doesn't agree, then it must be that the money is not enough. Just give her more.
"
Hearing that the lady was getting more and more crooked, Zhang Mu became a little anxious, and she shouted: "Mother."
"Don't worry, that's what mother said, and it's reasonable." After the lady said it, she said to Zhang Youfu outside the carriage: "Youfu, do you know who made this meal, the lotus root starch, and the bowl cake before? Help me put it together.
She called over, and I came to ask her if she would like to work as a cook in Zhang Mansion."
Zhang Youfu said: "Madam, I'll go ask her and bring her over in a moment."
The lady agreed with a 'hmm', but when Zhang Youfu told the Wen family about this, everyone in the Wen family became a little hostile towards Zhang Youfu, and the atmosphere of the Wen family and their attitude toward him
His attitude immediately hardened.
Zhang Youfu didn't know why and said: "We in the Zhang family are not people who beat and scold the servants at will. We will definitely not treat you badly when you come to our house. Five taels of silver a month is really a lot. The cooks in our house only have two
Two pieces of silver."
But when he heard about money, the attitude of the Wen family became even more difficult to understand. Wen Jin couldn't control that much and said directly: "Our children will not be sold."
Wen Yu glanced at Wen Jin and immediately explained: "I'm sorry, Butler Zhang, our family has no intention of selling our children, and for 5 taels of silver, it's not impossible for our family to make money by setting up a stall. We really don't need to sell our children for money."
.”
Zhang Youfu was anxious, "No, you have misunderstood me, and how can you sell your children? Just think of it as working. When you grow up, you will not have to work. It will be earlier now. Then I will
Tell me, if we don’t sign the deed of sale, we’ll be fine.”
Just when everyone looked unhappy and wanted to drive them away, Wenxin said: "I'm sorry, Butler Zhang, I don't want to be a cook. I have no intention of staying in the kitchen my whole life."
Zhang Youfu said: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the cooks in your family, the ones who came up with these ideas."
Wen Xin smiled and said, "Then it's me who's talking about that."
Looking at the cold faces of the other Wen family members and the warm smile on their faces, Zhang Youfu finally came to his senses, "You mean you came up with all these things."
"Yes, to tell you the truth, I really can't be a cook. I can't hold a spatula. When I'm at home, I direct my brothers to do the work. I may not be able to do that." But, warmth is really good.
She really wanted to sell her recipes. The Zhang family asked her to be a cook just for food. She could just sell these recipes. Wen Xin said: "Butler Zhang, I think it would be quite satisfying to ask you to go and say this directly.
If you are in a dilemma, why not let me speak, and I will explain it to Madam myself."
Zhang Youfu thought for a while and felt that this was okay. Although it was a bit embarrassing, he said: "Okay, please come with me."
Wenxin nodded to the brothers behind him, gave them a reassuring look, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be right back."
Just when Wen Jin was about to say something, Wen Yu grabbed him and forced him to shut his mouth.
Wenxin followed Butler Zhang to the carriage. The platform of the carriage was a bit high. Butler Zhang directly carried her up. After saying a few words outside the curtain, the little girl inside opened the curtain and led her in.
After entering, Wen Xin was assigned a small seat at the door. She didn't need to stand, but when it was just a little girl who entered the carriage, the madam, young lady and maid all looked confused. She quickly asked: "Blessed, I want to
It's the person who cooked the meals just now, why did you send a child in?"
Wen Xin smiled and said: "If Madam is looking for someone to make lotus root powder and red bean steamed buns, it would be me. I came up with these things."
The lady was stunned. She didn't expect the little girl in front of her to say this. She immediately said: "Do you know the consequences of lying? I will not forgive you just because you are a child and deceived me."
"I'm not lying. I really came up with those things, but I didn't do them with my own hands. I have three brothers at home, one younger brother and one younger brother. There's no need for me to do it."
If it's warm, it excludes gentleness, but there doesn't seem to be any problem.
Although the wife didn't believe it, she didn't kick him out and asked directly: "Does your family plan to let you be our cook? You are too young to do that."
