Yu Xiaocao handed him a spatula, holding potatoes in his left hand and holding the spatula in his right, and after showing him a demonstration, he said with a smile, "That's it, scrape off the potato skins, the potato dinner at noon is up to you! "
Mrs. Liu, who came to see if she wanted to help, saw her and cried out in shock: "You child, how can you let the prince of the county work?"
What surprised Mr. Liu was that his master didn't say a word, the spatula in his hand fluttered, and he scraped a big potato clean and smooth in a short while, and even showed it to the little girl of the Yu family with a proud face: " Look! I can shave much faster than you! How can your little clumsy hands be used for knives? You can only use a frying spoon!"
Manager Liu covered his face: My lord, what is there to show off with a knife for scraping potatoes? However, his master was able to show a child-like side, which made him feel relieved and happy. The little girl from the Yu family used her innocence and sincerity to allow the master to relax wholeheartedly, and even her temperament became much more easy-going.
His Highness Prince Jing also noticed this, and specially called himself to the study to ask the master if anything special happened in Dongshan Village. When His Royal Highness King Jing knew that the master's change was due to a small peasant girl, and she was only ten years old, she shook her head dumbfoundingly, and said, "Fate! Maybe Yang'er is the youngest in the family and has no younger siblings, so That's why you treat that little girl as a weak object that can be protected?"
When Director Liu walked out of the study, he heard Prince Jing whispering to himself: "Well... Meijuan (Prince Jing's nickname for Concubine Jing) is in good health, should I give Yang'er a younger brother or sister? ?”
Manager Liu almost tripped over his heels. Did the master change only because Miss Yu was younger than him and needed protection? Among the girls brought by the wives in Beijing, there are many girls who are younger than the master. Why didn't the master give others a look? The ten-year-old ten-year-old daughter of Dali Temple last time saw the master and wanted to come over, but was frightened by the master's look and cried, why didn't the master treat her with pity
Compared with those girls in Beijing who claim to be famous ladies, always put on airs, and have mask-like smiles on their faces, the girls of the Yu family have innocence, nature, sincerity, and kindness that they lack! Maybe what the master wants to get close to is the quality exuded by Miss Yu
Manager Liu put away his thoughts, and was about to take the potatoes from the master's hand, but Zhu Junyang avoided him.
Zhu Junyang became more proficient in peeling potatoes. He pointed to a large pot of potatoes that Yu Xiaocao brought over, and said to Mr. Liu, "Don't snatch them. If you want to practice, there are plenty of potatoes over there!"
Manager Liu suddenly had tears streaming down his cheeks: My lord! The old slave wants to free you from the labor of peeling potatoes, but I didn't expect you to be ungrateful and drag the old slave into it!
Pick up a potato resigned to fate, since the master can do this, what is the slave to say? Manager Liu worked hard to peel potatoes, and if he peeled one more master, he would do less work.
Yu Xiaocao poked her head out from the kitchen and glanced at the guards standing like pillars at the gate of the courtyard. She boldly yelled at the little prince, "Young prince, if your men are idle, they are idle." Come on, how about sitting down and rubbing corn for us! You see, not only the yard here, but also the yard next door is drying corn. These days, taking advantage of the good weather, rub the corn out and dry it thoroughly, so that it can be bagged as soon as possible store in."
Zhu Junyang glared at the aggressive Yu Xiaocao, and waved in the direction of the courtyard gate. Wu Deshun, the leader of the guards, walked over with his head held high, waiting for his master's order.
"Call your brothers over and see how they rub the corn. The corn was finally snatched back, so don't make any mistakes. Hurry up!" Zhu Junyang ordered without changing his expression.
Wu Deshun secretly glanced at the potatoes peeled in the master's hand, and thought: The master is being ordered to work, and they can still be idle as followers. Don't say anything, let's rub the corn!
When Yu Xiaocao poked his head out from the kitchen again, there were more than a dozen guards sitting in the yard. Their hands were strong, and they rubbed the corn, only to hear the corn kernels falling down. Yu Xiaocao laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she yelled into the yard:
"Brother guards have worked hard! I'll give you extra meals at noon! Little Shitou, go to Uncle Li's house in the next village to cut some five catties of pork belly and come back with ten catties of ribs. Little Fang Ping, go to Aunt Zhou's house to buy five small Rooster, let your brother help kill it!"
After the two little guys got the order, they put down the corn in their hands. Little Shitou ran into the house to get the silver, gave the little cousin a piece of silver, and then split up.
Among the guards, Wu Deshun and the other two guards had been to Dongshan Village, and they knew that the cooking skills of the little girl from the Yu family were excellent, and the taste was more authentic than many famous restaurants in the capital, so they smiled and said to the brothers: "Brothers, do well!" Come on, there's something delicious for lunch!"
The other guards didn't take it seriously, isn't it just pork belly, ribs and chicken? These are eaten at home, no matter how delicious the farm food is, how can it be delicious
When the tempting aroma wafted from the kitchen, the guards became restless. They kept rubbing the corn in their hands, but their heads were all facing the direction of the kitchen, their eyes stared there motionlessly, swallowing from time to time. Swallow.
Wu Deshun looked at these worthless subordinates, shook his head with a smile, and freed up a hand to touch his stomach, it was so delicious! Hook him into a glutton and rebel in his stomach!
It seems that someone is pulling its tail behind and strolling slowly. Waiting and looking forward, finally looking forward to lunch time. The Yu family took out stools and wooden boards, and set up a simple dining table under the shed built for rubbing corn, and borrowed chairs and stools from the neighbors. With more than a dozen guards and more than a dozen people from Yu's family, the scene was quite spectacular like a running water banquet.
The guards sat in rows, looking eagerly towards the direction of the kitchen. It's time to serve!
It really is a potato feast! Braised potatoes, pan-fried small potatoes, cumin baked potatoes, green pepper tomato potato slices, potato pork ribs, potato braised pork, potato slices, hot and sour potato shreds, dry pot potato slices, potato shreds scrambled eggs... and children's favorite potatoes Sticks, chips and mash, served with homemade tomato sauce. Even the main dishes are made of potatoes, such as hash browns, potato omelets, and deliciously baked potato shortbread—what a potato feast!
Although they are all home-cooked dishes, after all, potatoes are fresh and delicious. The guards shook off their cheeks, their mouths were full of oil, and they couldn't stop at all!
Grandpa and the aunt's family stayed at the same table with the little county king, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, let alone eat. Yu Xiaocao thoughtfully opened a table for them in the west courtyard room, and brought the dishes over.
The Yu family is used to eating at the same table as the county prince. Don't look at the prince of the county who doesn't like to laugh very much, he is really nice, he has no airs, and he doesn't have such big rules.
"Little Junwang, try the french fries fried by the second sister. Dip it in tomato sauce. It's sweet and sour, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It's delicious!" Xiaoshi carried the french fries that the second sister specially placed in front of him, Let Yang Junwang taste it.
Zhu Junyang picked one up to save face, dipped it in some tomato sauce, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, then nodded slowly under the expectant gaze of Xiaoshishi, and said, "Mmm, it's delicious!"
Little Stone suddenly seemed to have an ally, and said with a smile on his face, "You can eat more if it tastes delicious! My second sister's craftsmanship can make a different feeling no matter what!"
Zhu Junyang took a bite of fried small potatoes. The freshly fried small potatoes were crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside, retaining the purest flavor of potatoes. The simplicity and good taste.
"Little Shitou, you can't just eat French fries and potato chips. Those can only be eaten as snacks. If you want to grow tall like the guards, you have to eat more!" Yu Xiaocao saw the younger brother holding the French fries, One by one was delicious, and I couldn't help reminding.
Xiao Shitou nodded obediently, and said, "I'll eat the last one...Second sister, when the academy resumes school, can you fry some French fries and chips for me? Little Fatty, Brother Jin Hui and Situ, I must have never eaten these, I want them to try it too!"
Yu Xiaocao glanced at the little princess, and said to Little Shitou, "Of course! But, you have to explain to your friends that the potatoes we eat are bruised when harvested and cannot be used as seeds." Potato!"
Zhu Junyang thanked her, and said: "Don't be so careful! I can still give you a thousand catties of potatoes! Logically speaking, these potatoes and corn were grown by your family, and the ownership belongs to you. They were given to you at the beginning. It was clearly stated when the seeds were planted, and the imperial court will buy them at a price after they are planted. You have negotiated, what price should you set?"
The Yu family members are very honest, and Zhu Junyang is not at all worried that they will set a sky-high price. Um! These potatoes taste really good, and the cooking method is also simple. If it is popularized, ordinary people can learn it too!
Zhu Junyang kept talking, and he still didn't forget to say to Yu Xiaocao: "You sort out the cooking methods of potatoes, it's best to write it into a booklet, and bring it with you when you return to Beijing next time!"
Yu Xiaocao babbled: "Little Junwang, you confiscated my recipes as soon as you touched your mouth? Didn't you give me some benefits? When the Supreme Emperor visited privately, he bought my method of marinating pork head meat, but it cost a lot of money. Three hundred taels of silver! The recipe for roasted chicken and roasted duck that I sold to Zhenxiu Restaurant is a steady stream of money for our family... Oh, mother, why did you beat me?"
Mrs. Liu looked at the face of the little county king, then pretended to pat the little daughter again, and said, "You child, did you go under the eyes of money? The county prince and the emperor just bought it for us common people to have enough to eat. These high-yield corn and potatoes. You are good, you have done a little favor, and there are benefits, shame on you!"
