Chapter 408: Wotou

Ye Jinyu's dish is a big dish in the palace cuisine, Ye Jinyu must not know that he has never been in the palace before, but Cheng Yu has made this dish, so he told Ye Jinyu what kind of ingredients to prepare.

"Let's prepare this little sugar nest first." Cheng Yu said and found cornmeal, poured soybean flour and sugar into a basin and mixed it together, added a small amount of water and began to soften.

Ye Jinyu observed Cheng Yu's movements on the side, Cheng Yu was seen by Ye Jinyu like this, and he was a little nervous when he believed it. Cheng Yu told Ye Jinyu that Xiaotang Wotou is actually pastry, and it is enough to knead these ingredients into the shape of a pagoda.

Ye Jinyu poured water for Cheng Yu on the side, and Cheng Yu kneaded the dough three or four times to make it evenly mixed and then kneaded it into long strips with a diameter of about five or six centimeters, and then cut it into eighty small pieces with a knife.

"This place should be watched." Cheng Yu told Ye Jinyu and Cheng Hua on the side before he was about to pinch my nest head.

"Before pinching the head of the nest, dip your right hand in a bowl of water with some cold water and rub it in the palm of your left hand." Cheng Hua asked a little curiously, "Why is this?" ”

Cheng Yu said while preparing: "This is to avoid sticking to your hands when pinching." Ye Jinyu also knew this truth when he was making other pasta, so Ye Jinyu didn't ask anything more.

"Take a small piece and put it in the palm of your left hand and rub it a few times with your right fingers to soften the air-dried crust and rub it into a circle with both hands."

As he spoke, Cheng Yu dipped his right index finger in cold water and drilled a small hole in the middle of the circle, turning the head of the nest with his fingers while drilling, and helping to pinch the thumb and middle finger of his left hand at the same time.

"What is this action for?"

"This is to make the hole smaller and larger, from shallow to deep, and pinch a tip on the head of the nest until the thickness of the head of the nest is only more than one point and the inner and outer walls are smooth, like a pagoda." Cheng Yu stopped the movement in his hand as he spoke, and began to pick up another small piece and continue to repeat the action just now.

"That's okay?" Ye Jinyu continued.

"All that's left is steaming."

Cheng Yu put the nest head pinched by the three of them into the cage and put it in the steamer.

"I've learned a dish." Ye Jinyu finally relaxed his tense mood a little.

Cheng Yu looked at Ye Jinyu after relaxing, and Cheng Hua, whose expression was suddenly different, Cheng Yu already knew that the relationship between Ye Jinyu and Cheng Hua was slowly getting closer.

"When did the Nine Princes order this dish?"

Ye Jinyu was too tired this time, so he sat aside and wiped the sweat on his head and said.

"Maybe an hour ago."

Cheng Yu stared at Ye Jinyu with surprised eyes.

"You've been asking for this dish for an hour?"

Ye Jinyu shook his head and laughed slowly, and Cheng Hua also laughed on the side.

Cheng Yu was confused, and looked at the two smirking people with a confused expression.

"It's good that I took two hours, otherwise it wouldn't be the two of us standing here now." Saying that, Ye Jinyu looked at the door of the small kitchen, and it happened that the little eunuch appeared at the door.

Cheng Yu also saw the little eunuch come to the small kitchen, and went to look at the small sugar nest in the steamer, and when he saw that the nest was already steamed, he took it off and put it on a plate and handed it to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch glanced at Cheng Yu, glanced at Cheng Yu disdainfully, and when he left, his hips twisted as if he was about to fall off.

Ye Jinyu and Cheng Hua saw the little eunuch take away the steamer with the head of the small sugar nest, and then squatted on the ground easily, the two of them were back to back, Ye Jinyu laughed, and Cheng Hua also laughed.

Ye Jinyu smiled because she didn't expect her to have today, she thought that nothing would be able to stump her when she got here, but today really caught Ye Jinyu off guard.

Cheng Hua laughed that today's experience was the only experience she had since she was a child.

Only Cheng Yu was on the side, and he didn't know what to say.

"Isn't this time of the day supposed to be the busiest time for the Imperial Dining Room? How could Ziruo let you come. Ye Jinyu knew that the little eunuch must have delayed for a long time before calling Cheng Yu, but when Cheng Yu came, he was still full of surprise.

"I don't know." Cheng Yu was busy cooking tonight's dinner in the imperial dining room at that time, when suddenly a little eunuch appeared at the door of the imperial dining room, and she walked over without asking Aunt Ziruo and calling her name directly.

originally thought that Aunt Ziruo would scold her, but Aunt Ziruo glanced at the little eunuch and ignored it and was still busy instructing the other palace maids to make dinner.

"That little eunuch, I seem to have seen it, but I forgot when." Cheng Yu thought for a moment.

"Have you seen it? You're not going to have a crush on someone, are you? Ye Jinyu deliberately teased Cheng Yu.

"Shhhh You can't talk nonsense, it's going to make people lose their heads if they hear it. Cheng Yu hurriedly stood at the door of the small kitchen and looked left and right.

Of course Ye Jinyu knows that he has seen this in the TV series, as if the eunuch and the palace maid are in love, they seem to be beaten to death and buried in a mass grave. Ye Jinyu also wanted to make a joke about Cheng Yu.

It didn't take long for the little eunuch to come to the door of the small kitchen again.

"Ye Jinyu, the little sugar nest you made is very fond of the Nine Princes, and said that you can go back to the imperial dining room today."

After saying that, the little eunuch twisted his ass and left.

Ye Jinyu saw that she could go back to the imperial dining room, and it just so happened that Cheng Yu was also there, so she didn't have to get lost. Thinking that Ye Jinyu hadn't seen Li Sui for a long time, there happened to be this matter of the Nine Princes, which made Ye Jinyu a little difficult, Ye Jinyu decided to go to the small garden to meet Ye Jinyu in a few days.

Ye Jinyu, who had just returned to the room, stretched his waist and lay down on the bed and said to Cheng Yu.

"Cheng Yu, thank you today."

Cheng Yu smiled at Ye Jinyu and went out to wash.

Ye Jinyu lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, slowly his eyelids fought, muttering something in his mouth, and his voice became smaller and smaller. Cheng Hua glanced at Ye Jinyu, walked to Ye Jinyu's bed, smiled helplessly, picked up Ye Jinyu's quilt and gently covered Ye Jinyu's body.

Thinking that she would have to teach the little palace maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter tomorrow, she felt that it was better for Chenghua to be more worry-free, thinking of this, she sighed silently, turned around and fell asleep.

Teaching newcomers, serving the Nine Princes, the two most difficult errands in the imperial dining room Ziruo were assigned to him at once, and he really "looked up" on himself.

Teaching newcomers is hard work, and there is no peace every day, but now it's okay, although Chenghua is still with her, but I always feel that Ziruo has other thoughts about her.

This also made Ye Jinyu understand that being a teacher turned out to be so painful, cooking is still something he likes, and he feels tired every day, thinking about the teacher who taught him in his previous life, teaching the same knowledge to his classmates year after year, day after day, isn't it even more boring? It's like a person who only eats that dish every day. happy

It's a pity that in my previous life, I really didn't like to read very much, and I was sorry for the hard work of the teacher.

Serving the Nine Princes is like walking on thin ice, trembling every day,

Serving the errand of the ninth prince, the same is hard work and hard work, this little ancestor is really a superb foodie, eating out of a certain realm, in the matter of eating is definitely carefully selected, the hunting psychology is very serious, the current emperor is very fond of his younger brother, his ninth brother's heart, he has always been very concerned.

Really, at this time, I made myself embarrassed, and I had never heard of the strange dishes ordered by the Nine Princes.

What to do?

Since he can point it out, it proves that these dishes have been made by someone before, that is to say, these dishes have existed in history, but I don't know why they are missing in modern times.

The change of dynasties, the vicissitudes of life, the circulation of materials, the lost good things are not limited to this recipe?

I don't want to, I don't want to,

Go to that Li Sui and ask, that guy is idle and has a wide road, it seems that he can do anything difficult, or maybe he can have any good way.

If you don't go again, I'm afraid that the idler will come over again, and there are many people in this imperial dining room, I'm afraid it will be misunderstood.

What kind of words like "fly on the branches and become a phoenix", I'm afraid that I have to say it from that Ziruo's mouth again, I don't mean that at all, I run around and die for my livelihood,

These women really want to figure it out.

Ye Jinyu came to the small garden early and waited for Li Sui,

Li Sui came late today, and when he pushed the door in, he took a breath,

"I'm late, haven't you been waiting for a long time, little girl?"

Ye Jinyu sat up straight lazily,

looked at him,

"No, I just happened to be free this afternoon, and I came to see you,"

Li Sui unfolded the fan in his hand and fanned it up hurriedly.

Ye Jinyu saw that there were two faint blush on the cheeks of his fair and handsome face, and he couldn't help grinning when he saw that it was really good-looking,

"Why are you sweating? When did you get busy like this? ”

Li Sui took out the handkerchief in his cuffs and gently wiped his handsome face twice,

"It's not that I'm afraid that you're in a hurry, thinking that I won't come back, and then quietly leave by yourself."

When Ye Jinyu heard this, his face unconsciously started to burn,

Is this man really taking himself quite seriously?

However, seeing Li Sui gently wiping his sweat, it seems like everyone who has seen in TV costume dramas,

Gently and slowly, graceful, I can't help but "giggle......" laugh out loud.

Li Sui looked up at her,

"Are you stupid again today? Are you laughing at me? ”

Ye Jinyu stopped laughing, with a smile on his face,

"I think you look like a big girl, very feminine."

Li Sui stared at her with disgust, saw the clarity in her eyes, and deliberately frightened:

"If you laugh at me again, if I'm angry, I'll find someone to beat you up."

Ye Jinyu immediately shut up,

I don't know him well, and now I don't even know what his identity is, it's really hard to offend him, besides, I still have to help him with many things.

If he is really annoyed, it is a small matter to play the board, and he will never see this handsome face in the future, right?

It's all about this as a pastime for cooking by yourself.

Li Sui sat down and looked at Ye Jinyu's tense little face, as if he was really afraid, and quickly eased up,

"You didn't come to see me for a few days, so I was worried about you, and I had to go to the imperial dining room to see you, come and wait for me so early today, do you need my help with something?"

Ye Jinyu really felt embarrassed in his heart,

She raised an eyebrow,

"That, that ,......"

Li Sui glanced at her,

"Don't do this and that, if you have something to say, don't you be the fastest to talk quickly? What's going on today? Didn't you come here without lunch? ”

Isn't it, in order not to wait for him, didn't he just skip lunch?

"Gollum ......,"

Ye Jinyu's stomach let out a long grunt, which was very consistent with Li Sui's words,

Li Sui smiled slightly,

Ye Jinyu suddenly felt that a good-looking man was a demon, and he compared a good-looking man to a demon, isn't this a demon who is alive and well, he is a man's family, when he doesn't laugh, he is cold and beautiful, and when he laughs, he is a demon, a fox, "looking back and smiling at a hundred Meisheng" is nothing more than that,
