Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

By the time all the sauce cubes were finished, it was almost dusk.

Tao Hongying cleaned up the pots and stoves early and was ready to cook.

Mrs. Li opened her mouth to keep people, "Let's have dinner at my house today, I will ask Hongying to cook for you!"

The women have long heard their men say that the Li family's banquets are delicious, and now Mrs. Li sincerely wants to stay, so she stays halfway.

There were still some bones left from the earlier red deer. Tao Hongying made soup and stewed radishes, and took more than a dozen dried small fish, fried them with sauce and added soup, stewed two pieces of tofu, and finally cut the cabbage Fried fungus.

Zhao Yuru put thick flour pancakes in the sauce fish pot, and dinner was ready in a short time.

The women finally got a taste of Tao Hongying's craftsmanship, and couldn't help saying yes.

"Hongying is really good. The cabbage and tofu are so delicious! The same dish, why can't I make this taste?"

Zhang Ersao is the most familiar with the Li family, so she responded immediately, "You don't know yet, do you? Hongying's family's ancestors were imperial cooks, and her skills are passed down from family to family!"

When the woman heard this, she didn't know what to think, her eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Tao Hongying with obvious enthusiasm.

Holding the rice bowl, she insisted on changing seats with the woman next to Tao Hongying, and asked with a smile, "Hongying, what kind of food do you know?"

Tao Hongying thought women wanted to learn, so she didn't care, so she casually mentioned a few dishes she knew how to cook.

"Crystal knuckle, sweet and sour fish, Sixi meatballs and other home-cooked dishes, I can basically know."

After hearing this, the woman's expression became even more joyful, and she hurriedly asked: "Then you can also cook the dishes for the banquet? Can you take over the work of the banquet?"

Tao Hongying blinked her eyes, turned her mind quickly a few times, and said with a smile, "I can do ordinary banquets, but it must not be as delicate as the ones made by restaurant chefs."

"Oh, that's all right!" The woman clapped her hands happily, as if she had found a treasure.

Tao Hongying didn't know why, but the other women also heard their conversation and asked curiously, "Aunt Wu, why are you asking this?"

Third Aunt Wu was the happy woman, and she hurriedly took Tao Hongying's hand and explained, "That's right, my natal family has a cousin whose son is getting married in three days. It's work.

My cousin-in-law is a boy, and the most important thing is to be decent. He doesn't want the women in the village to help him cook, and he is asking around if there is anyone who can replace the cook for his family's banquet! "

As she spoke, she patted Tao Hongying with a smile, "Your family ancestor was an imperial cook, the dishes were delicious, and the work was quick. I think you are quite suitable."

"But..." Tao Hongying thought that there were so many jobs at home, Zhao Yuru couldn't handle it all by herself, and Jiayin hadn't passed a hundred days, so she was a little hesitant.

"Hongying, go try it." At this time, Mrs. Li said, "There are me and Yuru at home, so don't worry about it."

Tao Hongying thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, auntie, then I'll go with you tomorrow and try my craft first?"

"Hey, this is the best!" Aunt Wu hurriedly agreed.

Soon, everyone dispersed after eating and tidied up the kitchen. Tao Hongying went back to the house and told Li Laosi about it.

"I remember Third Aunt Wu's natal family is in the next village..." Li Lao Si was a little worried that his wife would go out alone, so he said, "I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I will go with you then!"

Of course Tao Hongying was happy, she glanced at him with a smile, "OK."

Jiayin is breastfeeding secretly, with big eyes on her parents spreading dog food, and she is also thinking about it.I've been wandering around Li's house lately, it's really boring, do you want to play tricks and go for a walk with my mother tomorrow?

Early the next morning, without waiting for Jiayin to show her coquettishness, Mrs. Li changed her granddaughter into clean clothes, packed them tightly, and handed them to Tao Hongying.

Jiayin danced happily, almost kicking off the quilt.

Aunt Wu's cousin's home is in the next door village, a large village with more than 100 households, closer to the county seat, and obviously much richer than Qingshui Village.

A few people walked for a quarter of an hour and arrived. Aunt Wu's third cousin's husband's family name is Sun, who is considered a small landlord. The big brick and tile yard of Sanjin looks very neat and dignified.

Mrs. Sun and Third Aunt Wu's relationship is quite good. Hearing about the intention of Third Aunt Wu's visit, and seeing that Tao Hongying was well dressed and well-washed, even the child in her arms was taken care of very well, she was a little bit willing.

"Sister Hongying, it's not that I don't trust your craftsmanship, but that there will be some distinguished guests at the banquet in the future, so I really can't neglect it. In this way, you cook two dishes first, how about I taste them?"

Of course Tao Hongying agreed, so Third Aunt Wu stayed to talk with Mrs. Sun, and one of Mrs. Sun's personal women took the three Li family members to the kitchen.

Li Laosi carried his daughter on his back and helped to start the fire, while Tao Hongying prepared the dishes for the pot.

The Li family bought a few carps from unknown sources, jumping up and down in the bucket from time to time, splashing water everywhere.

After Tao Hongying asked, she killed one, soaked fungus and sliced ​​cabbage.

In less than half an hour, the two dishes were ready.A carp jumps over the dragon gate, that is, a carp in sauce, and another dish is crisp and refreshing fried fungus with cabbage.

One meat and one vegetable, full of color, fragrance and taste.

Mrs. Sun only took one look at the fried golden carp, as if she was about to jump over the dragon gate at any moment, she smiled happily, which meant a good omen.

Take another bite, the skin is crispy, the fish is fresh and tender, and the soup is sweet and sour, which is really a rare skill.

It happened that Sun Tongsheng also came from the study when he smelled the smell. The couple ate a lot in one go, and they were very satisfied.

Mrs. Sun immediately appointed Tao Hongying to be the chef, and gave her a salary of two taels of silver.

Tao Hongying restrained her joy, and said, "Then let's confirm the menu first, so we can prepare the ingredients at home. I'll come over tomorrow afternoon to prepare the dishes, and our family will send three or four people to help."

Mrs. Sun quickly took out the original menu, which also included braised fish, and immediately deleted it, and added this carp leaping over the dragon's gate.

Among other things, the distinguished guests are all scholars, so a dish with such a good name will definitely please everyone.

Everything was discussed, and it was almost noon, everyone said goodbye, and went home happily.

Third Aunt Wu helped her cousin solve her urgent need, and got a piece of fine cloth, which was enough to make a jacket and skirt. When she walked happily, her feet felt windy.

At the lunch table of the Li family, everyone was pleasantly surprised to hear that there was a wage of two taels.

Mrs. Li hugged the good news and smiled, kissed and kissed again, "Oh, we Fu Niu are so lucky, we can always bring good things to the family! Your mother is now a person who can make a lot of money."

Everyone was laughing, Jiahuan was shy, holding a bowl and wanted to talk, but couldn't speak, her face was red with anxiety.
