251, Su Lingxiao's Scrambled Eggs
Gu Qianxue raised her eyebrows, "Identity? Heh, shopkeeper Su, tell me, what is my identity? My father is a second-rank official, my grandfather is Marshal Zhenyuan, and I was made a princess by the emperor, and now I am appointed by Yong'an The eldest princess is adopted as a righteous daughter, am I noble or humble? I can wash my hands and make soup, why can't Mr. Su?"
"Because you are a woman!" Shopkeeper Su argued anxiously.
Gu Qianxue spread her hands, "If one day Mr. Su has a sweetheart, what should he do if the sweetheart insists on Mr. Su cooking?" Then she narrowed her eyes narrowly, "Shopkeeper Su probably has a family at his age, right? If your wife wants to eat something cooked by your husband one day, would you just say with a straight face that the gentleman stays away from the kitchen? Will your wife be sad?"
Before everyone saw it, Su Lingxiao's eyes twitched slightly, and then slowly raised his eyes, "Qianxue is right. Although this world divides people into three, six, and nine classes, they are still human. As a human, there is nothing you can't do." .” Then, she smiled lightly at Gu Qianxue, “Unfortunately, I don’t know how to cook.”
"You can learn it if you don't know it," Gu Qianxue pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "Let's start with scrambled eggs!"
"..." Shopkeeper Su.
"..." Chu Yan.
In the kitchen of Wumingju, all the cooks stood upright outside the kitchen, trembling. The whole Wumingju was brightly lit. Not far away, all the servants gathered around and waited for orders. As long as the master gave an order, they would go forward to serve.
In the kitchen, Gu Qianxue, Su Lingxiao, shopkeeper Su and four others stood.
Poor Su Lingxiao, who knows everything about the world, but doesn't know how to cook, stands at a loss in the kitchen.
Gu Qianxue found a rope from nowhere, "Master Su, the sleeves of your clothes are too big, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, so use this rope to tie them up."
Su Lingxiao still looked dazed, at the mercy of Gu Qianxue.
I saw that Gu Qianxue first put the rope around Su Lingxiao's neck, crossed it, wrapped it around under his sleeve, wrapped it around it skillfully, and then tied a knot behind it, so that the wide sleeve was fixed. .
Gu Qianxue also dealt with it. Just as she was going to look for eggs on the shelf, a kitchen steward brought the eggs, and said courteously and respectfully, "Young master, my servant will help you break the eggs."
"Slow down!" Gu Qianxue stopped, and gave the steward a blank look, "Are you cooking or is he cooking?"
The steward hesitated.
"Go down." It was Su Lingxiao's voice.
The steward sighed, "Yes, young master, the servant is waiting outside the house, you can order the servant at any time."
"Yeah." Su Lingxiao agreed, reached out to take the egg from the steward's hand, and when he turned to Gu Qianxue, his face was not at a loss, and he smiled lightly, "What should we do next?"
Gu Qianxue took two eggs from the shelf and took a bowl, "Actually, my cooking skills are not very good, but I cook with you not for the sake of deliciousness, but for participation. I wonder if you understand .”
"I understand." Su Lingxiao said.
Gu Qianxue raised her head and looked at Su Lingxiao's expression very carefully. Seeing that there was no disgust or patience on his face, she felt relieved, "First take out an egg, tap it lightly on the edge of the bowl, and shake the eggshell. Knock out a gap, then carefully break it apart, and put the egg liquid into the bowl." While talking, he demonstrated.
Su Lingxiao also learned seriously, watching and operating.
Gu Qianxue originally thought that Su Lingxiao was a man, and would be clumsy, such as breaking egg shells, dropping broken egg shells into egg liquid, etc., but she did not expect that Su Lingxiao's hands were extremely dexterous, and his fingers were slender and slender. In his hand, the movement of beating eggs was extremely elegant.
"What's next?" Su Lingxiao asked.
Only then did Gu Qianxue regain her senses, laughing at herself that she was fascinated by seeing other people's hands, "Next, use an egg beater to stir the egg yolk and egg white into egg juice."
Wumingju has a special homemade egg beater, which Gu Qianxue ordered the craftsmen to make when she made the matcha layer cake. There are exactly two of them, one for each of Gu Qianxue and Su Lingxiao.
After the egg juice was stirred, salt and chopped green onion were added.
Immediately afterwards, the pan was filled with oil.
Scrambled eggs are the primary dish in the kitchen, and the scrambled eggs of both of them are fresh out of the pan within a short time.
Gu Qianxue was frustrated to find that Su Lingxiao's craftsmanship seemed to be so much better than hers in terms of both the color and the fluffiness of the eggs. Could it be that talented people are talented in all fields
While Gu Qianxue was staring at the two plates of scrambled eggs and comparing them back and forth, Su Lingxiao had already washed her hands in the basin beside her, using soap to wash them clean, then took the towel Chuyan handed over, and wiped her hands.
When Gu Qianxue came back to her senses, Su Lingxiao had washed her hands and untied the straps that bound her sleeves, and she had already returned to her usual dusty image.
Treasurer Su was afraid that Gu Qianxue would play some tricks again and force his young master to cook something, so he hurried forward and said, "Master Qianxue, since this dish has been fried, I invite the princess and the young master to sit down and have dinner quickly. The cook’s cooking is still warming on the stove, if you don’t eat it, it will be wasted.”
"Okay, just listen to shopkeeper Su." Gu Qianxue accepts as soon as she sees a deal, she hasn't expected to train Su Lingxiao into a generation of famous chefs. What's more, everything needs to be done. Forcing a person who doesn't eat fireworks to cook is already embarrassing for him. If he is forced to cook a full feast of Manchu and Han, let alone forceful, it may also arouse people's resentment.
In the warm main hall, there is a round table.
There are countless delicacies on it, and its richness is even more than the banquet in the palace. The reason is that Su Lingxiao likes novelty, and his cooks come from many countries. Therefore, in terms of the richness of this dish, Wuming ranks second, and no one dares to claim to be the second. one.
However, in front of Gu Qianxue and Su Lingxiao, there were two plates of... scrambled eggs.
Gu Qianxue poked her scrambled eggs, tasted them, "It's been a long time since I ate such a simple dish." Yes, after time travel, she became a young lady, and she lived in luxury all day long, wishing she could cook every dish After trying many tricks, in the end, I almost forgot the taste of the scrambled eggs.
Gu Qianxue had a sore nose, and suddenly missed her hometown again.
Hometown—Modern China.
But I don't know when I can go back to my hometown again, when I will see my relatives and friends again.
Seeing that Gu Qianxue's eyes were red, Su Lingxiao's indifferent expression was tinged with panic, "Qianxue, what's wrong with you... Could it be... these things don't suit your taste?"
Gu Qianxue hurriedly shook her head, and said with a wry smile, "No, Mr. Su, don't think about it too much. I just think about the poor people. We eat delicacies every day, but I don't know how many poor people can't even eat scrambled eggs." lie.
Not to mention Su Lingxiao, even shopkeeper Su couldn't help interjecting, "Miss Gu is a really kind person."
There are many good people in the world, but few really good people.
Gu Qianxue blushed, what kind of kind person is she? It was clearly to prevaricate Su Lingxiao.
