How could it be possible to taste the fine food of these noble families.
The four maids each picked up a piece and carefully put it in the mouth, as if they were reluctant to take a bite and devoured it completely, taking small bites that they cherished very much.
Ming Yan and Jing Yan also showed expressions of enjoyment on their faces.
Chu Lian looked at their expressions curiously. If she hadn’t actually tasted the pumpkin dessert just now, she would have wondered if there was something wrong with her sense of taste.
“How is it?” Chu Lian asked in a low voice, not wanting to disturb them enjoying the delicious food.
Ming Yan nodded again and again, she licked the icing sugar remaining on her fingers, “Third grandma, it’s delicious!” After speaking, she glanced at the small plate with two pieces left on the table from time to time, obviously still unfinished.
Chu Lian:……
When the four of them answered with certainty that the pumpkin dessert was really delicious, Chu Lian began to despair…
No way! Is this sweet and deadly pumpkin candy called delicious?
Anyhow, the maids used to be from the British government. Even if they don’t eat as finely as the young masters and young ladies, they can always be compared with ordinary wealthy families. Could it be that the food of the ordinary wealthy family of the Damn Dawu Dynasty is this standard? It’s too much!
Xiyan saw her master’s face slumped, her brows furrowed, thinking that Chu Lian was unhappy, and hurriedly said, “Third grandmother, do you think the slaves have embarrassed you?”
It was just a small dish of snacks from the Xungui family that hooked them like this. Now, recalling how unsteady they were just now, Xiyan felt that she shouldn’t.
Chu Lian shook her head, this Xiyan, everything is good, and she is sincere, that is, she has a lot of heart and likes to think more.
“How could it be! It’s just a snack. In your heart, your lady is such a stingy person?”
The geese shook their heads in panic, for fear of being misunderstood by Chu Lian.
“Then it’s over. Why are you frowning? You guys like to eat them. These snacks are distributed to a few people.” Chu Lian smiled.
Jingyan’s eyes widened. She has a pair of small tiger teeth, and she is very cute when she smiles, “Third grandma, it’s all given to us, you…what are you eating!”
Xi Yan went to the kitchen to bring these delicate snacks for Chu Lian’s stomach. The third grandmother is the master, so she can’t go hungry.
Chu Lian held her chin with her slender hands like the tip of an onion, and said “sadly”: “I don’t like eating these, I don’t think they are in the taste.”
“But third grandma, you used to like sweets the most?” Fu Yan said strangely.
Chu Lian’s face froze, momentarily stiff, Ma Dan, forgot that Xiyan and Fuyan were the female lead’s personal maids and the people who knew the female lead best.
“It’s not that I don’t like sweets, it’s that I don’t think these dishes are delicious.” Chu Lian had no choice but to tell the truth.
Fu Yan secretly sneered in her heart, but showed nothing on her face.
As Miss Six’s personal maid, she knows best what kind of life Miss Six lived in the British government. It would be nice to have snacks specially made by the kitchen every day. Such a pick and choose opportunity?
Now that you are married to a noble family and become a third grandmother, you will immediately become picky?
Who is this made for?
Xi Yan and the other two wild geese widened their eyes in surprise and couldn’t believe what Chu Lian said.
My God! Their little master must be confused by marriage, and the dim sum of Jing’anbo Mansion is not delicious?
I’m afraid even the empress can’t say this.
You must know that the chef who makes dim sum in Jing’anbo’s mansion is famous in the entire Shengjing honorable circle. The assorted dim sum gift box presented by Amber House is proud, because on weekdays, Jing’an House will not use dim sum as a gift, and if you want to eat it, you can only take advantage of it when you come to Jing’an House as a guest.
Chu Lian certainly doesn’t know this. Although this is the world described in the novel, the novel’s length is limited, and it is impossible to write everything down. There is no mention of the famous dim sum cook in Jing’an Bofu’s novel. .
“Third grandma, are you kidding me?” Ming Yan asked in a low voice.
Chu Lian shook her head helplessly, stood up, and glanced in the room. Seeing that there were kumquats on the table, which symbolized the prosperity of the newlyweds, she walked over and pinched one in her hand, and she had a measure in her heart.
“Happy geese come.”
Xiyan trotted to Chu Lian’s side.
Chu Lian held a small kumquat in a greasy white hand and shook it in front of Xiyan, “Did you see this kumquat?”
Xiyan didn’t know what the third grandmother meant, but just nodded.
“Wash them clean, then rub them with salt for a while before rinsing them. Use a knife to cut four incisions in the kumquats like this, remove the seeds inside, and put the seeded kumquats in water with rock sugar. Boil it until the color becomes transparent, then take it out and marinate it with honey for an hour.” Chu Lian said, and gestured twice on the small kumquat with her index finger, teaching Xiyan how to remove the seeds of the small kumquat.
Several geese were stunned when they heard it. They didn’t come back to their senses until Chu Lian finished speaking. But the next moment, Xiyan didn’t immediately carry the small kumquats to make candied kumquats, but knelt down. .
Chu Lian jumped in shock, “What’s the matter, what are you doing on your knees?” After all, she was a five-good young woman from modern times.
When the other three geese looked at the happy geese, their eyes were full of envy.
Xi Yan raised her head, her eyes were a little red, “Xie Yan’s grandmother Xie San taught the secret recipe, and it will be kept strictly in the future! It will never be leaked!”
Chu Lian:……
Chu Lian didn’t know what to say anymore. She just wanted to eat a candied kumquat, and she couldn’t do it herself, so she taught Xiyan to do it. After reading it once, it would be all right, but these geese took it as a secret recipe, which made her feel a little ashamed.
If this is in modern times, this kind of dim sum recipe, if you want to treat your mother casually, will make you look at it, just because you are lazy and don’t want to make it.
Chu Lian still doesn’t understand. In the Great Wu Dynasty, the definition of Zhongming Ding Shijia literally means that the rich and noble family played music and struck the bell when they were eating, and used the peak to serve all kinds of precious food, which represented a kind of noble life. The way.
Food is not too expensive, and secret recipes are indispensable to a huge family. This is a family’s prosperous reaction.
The head mistress of the hairpin and Ying family must know one or two secret recipes, and the ladies who have been friends from generation to generation will give each other secret recipes. This is the highest rule of communication.
It can be seen how important the secret recipe is to the people of the Dawu Dynasty, and it is precisely because of this that Shengjing’s family of honorable and noble people is proud to receive a gift box of snacks from Jing’anbo’s house on New Year’s and festivals. Although the desserts made by the cooks of the manor have been distributed all over the years, these desserts have not been flooded because of this, and it is still only the reason why the Jinganbo family produced them.
And the recipe that Chu Lian said casually now is obviously regarded as a secret recipe.
Ms. Chu Liu’s mother passed away early, and all the geese grew up in the British public mansion.
The third wife is the first wife of the second master of Chu. She was born into a scholarly family. Unfortunately, the Lou family, Chu Lian’s grandfather, was implicated in the rebellion of General Cheng Ping, and the family fell into disrepair.
When the third wife was pregnant with Chu Lian, she was hit by her family’s downfall, and the baby did not sit firmly. Later, she had a difficult labor. When Chu Lian was over a year old, the third wife passed away.
Although they left, it is said that they left a lot of things for Miss Sixth Chu Lian.
That’s why Chu Lian casually said how to pickle kumquats, and the geese didn’t doubt it at all, but regarded it as a secret recipe left by the third lady to Chu Lian.
The well-known dim sum cook in Jing An Bo Mansion gave Jing An Bo Mansion such a reputation just by relying on a few kinds of dim sum. It is conceivable that a few geese taught Chu Lian the secret recipe of liking geese. How important it is.
Of course, these things, Chu Lian is not very clear now, when she is clear, I am afraid she will laugh three times.
This girl accidentally came to this cheating book. There is nothing, but there are a lot of these worthless secret recipes in my mind!
Chu Lian couldn’t understand why Xiyan would be so grateful for a simple method of pickling kumquats, and she didn’t want to think too much about it.
Waving at Xiyan, “Okay, it’s not a big deal, just go and make me some candied kumquats.”
Xiyan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, sniffed her nose, and said happily, “Okay, third grandma, sit down and wait first, the servant will go.”
Fu Yan looked at Xi Yan’s figure leaving in a hurry, she couldn’t be jealous, rolled her eyes, and hurried back to serve Chu Lian diligently.
He also said, “Third grandma, you are so kind to Xiyan! If you teach her such a secret recipe, you will teach her.”
Chu Lian, who was holding a glass of warm water and drinking slowly, raised her brows and looked at Fu Yan, “Why, Fu Yan also wants to learn to make dim sum?”
Fu Yan’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly suppressed the desire in her heart, and said reservedly: “I don’t dare to think about that blessing.”
Chu Lian didn’t speak any more, but she clearly noticed a look of disappointment in Fu Yan’s eyes.
Chu Lian does not want to directly judge the characters of these maids through the plots described in the novel. Sometimes there is no boundary between good and bad people, and sometimes the bad person can become a good person. Maybe there is only one correct choice, so Within her control, Chu Lian didn’t want to make a judgment so quickly, at least she should give these maids a good direction before making a decision.
Xi Yan, this girl moves very quickly. Before noon, the candied kumquats are ready.
This snack is simple enough.
Xiyan blushed and brought a plate of candied kumquats in a snow-white porcelain bowl to Chu Lian, and said to Chu Lian with some shyness and some excitement: “Third grandmother, please taste the taste first. , this is the first time a slave does it, and I’m afraid it won’t work well.”
The originally golden-yellow kumquats were boiled and stained with honey, and then they turned a fresh and attractive transparent orange color, because the kumquats were opened with four small openings to take out the seeds, and they became slightly flat after being cooked. The small mouth divided the kumquat into four pieces. The whole honey-stained kumquat was set off by the snow-white porcelain, like a budding flower bone. As soon as it was served on the table, it exuded a light sweet aroma of kumquat and honey.
