199 Veggie Spoon(1/2)
【Recommendation】
Just when Zhu Xiuyuan was "pulling weeds" on his head with his hands again, a soft voice suddenly came from the door.
This sound was like a clear spring, pouring on Zhu Xiuyuan's restless heart. He suddenly felt relaxed, and this comfortable feeling flowed to his limbs and bones at an extremely fast speed.
Dong Shuyu!
Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly looked up, who was it not Dong Shuyu standing at the door of the kitchen?
Dong Shuyu is usually gentle and soft-spoken, but today she suffered another disaster. She cried and wailed, which caused something wrong with her throat. This is reflected in her voice, which is even more gentle and pitiful...
Behind Dong Shuyu were two maids, Chun Xue and Dong Mei.
"Shuyu?" Zhu Xiuyuan immediately approached him. After getting closer, he felt that he was too close, so he took a step back, opened a little distance, and asked with concern: "Why don't you rest more?"
Today outside Nalu Mountain Village, Dong Shuyu cried loudly in Dong Cheng's arms, and finally fainted from crying...
Zhu Xiuyuan and the old beggar came back first with Dong Shuyu who fainted from crying.
The state soldiers led by Dong Cheng and the generals from the royal family brought by the palace steward stayed behind to completely wipe out the Lushan bandits.
Dong Cheng and the others haven't come back yet.
However, the leaders of that group of bandits had almost been maimed by the old beggar. Dong Cheng and the others just cleaned up the remaining minions, which was a little more cumbersome...
After sending Dong Shuyu back, he immediately washed her and then put her on the bed to rest.
Unexpectedly, Dong Shuyu ran out of the bed after resting for half a day.
Dong Shuyu's face was still a little haggard, but the way she looked at Zhu Xiuyuan was very lively, and her wonderful eyes blinked and blinked, which was indescribable.
"I heard... that you personally taught the chefs how to prepare dishes in the kitchen. I was curious, so I came over to have a look."
Dong Shuyu turned his head and glanced behind Zhu Xiuyuan, already seeing the expressions of the chefs in the Dong family.
"It doesn't seem to be going well. Why don't you let me try?"
Dong Shuyu was eager to try, and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan with a pair of wonderful eyes, with a request.
"Isn't this not good?" Zhu Xiuyuan frowned slightly and refused without thinking: "Shuyu, you are very tired today, you should rest more..."
"Xiuyuan, I have rested long enough!"
Dong Shuyu was still cold, but because of what she had experienced today, a touch of sadness always lingered around her.
The two temperaments of coldness and sadness are entangled together, forming an indescribable beauty. This beauty is like poison that deeply attracts Zhu Xiuyuan.
"Let me help you, I can!" Dong Shuyu pleaded.
Zhu Xiuyuan stared at her opening and closing lips and hesitated: "But Shuyu, you...you..."
To be honest, Zhu Xiuyuan didn't think Dong Shuyu knew how to cook.
First of all, there is Dong Shuzhen "beautiful and precious", Dong Shuzhen's cooking skills... well, she has no cooking skills at all.
Secondly, there are so many great chefs in Dong's Mansion who provide three meals a day, so Dong Shuyu doesn't need to do it himself.
Dong Shuyu is the eldest lady of the Dong family. How could she know how to cook?
Didn’t you say that you should be pampered and have enough food to eat?
"Uncle, my cooking skills are so good!" Chun Xue, who was behind Dong Shuyu, said with a smile.
"Uncle, my lady's cooking skills are not the best in the entire Jiangzhou City, but she ranks first in the mansion. The chefs are far inferior to my lady's." Dongmei also spoke up to help.
Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Dong Shuyu in surprise and asked doubtfully: "Really?"
The busy chef of the Dong family also said: "Uncle, the cooking skills of the eldest lady... naturally the little people are far behind..."
Zhu Xiuyuan, everyone said this, so this matter is almost certain, it is true.
He couldn't help but look at Dong Shuyu with a little surprise. Shuyu was really... versatile!
A glint of pride flashed in Dong Shuyu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She walked into the kitchen with her sleeves rolled up, and said to the chefs: "You all can go out and leave this place to me!"
The two maids Chun Xue and Dong Mei also walked in, rolling up their sleeves and preparing to help Dong Shuyu.
Zhu Xiuyuan stared blankly at Dong Shuyu's master and servant, who had rolled up his sleeves and had a serious face, ready to fight.
Then he looked at the Dong family chefs who "came out of the kitchen in despair".
He felt slightly strange and immediately walked over, ready to start describing the cooking process of the new dishes...
Dong Shuyu was dexterous and extremely intelligent, and he quickly understood what Zhu Xiuyuan meant.
The whole cooking process is extremely smooth, without any obstruction, and it is hearty and hearty.
Mind to heart!
Zhu Xiuyuan experienced a feeling of connectedness!
Sometimes Zhu Xiuyuan's description is not clear, but Dong Shuyu can understand it with his own intelligence!
It was clear in one point, and it was clear in one explanation. Even later, Zhu Xiuyuan didn’t need to describe everything in detail, he only needed to mention a few key words...
Dong Shuyu understood Zhu Xiuyuan's meaning so well that it was like a roundworm in his stomach.
This feeling is very wonderful, and Zhu Xiuyuan feels more and more that Dong Shuyu is a unique and wonderful person!
At a certain moment, Zhu Xiuyuan was in a trance and thought to himself: "It would have been nice if I had meant Shuyu when I married my father-in-law at the fingertips..."
In comparison, Zhu Xiuyuan's cooperation with Dong's chefs is like driving a rusty tractor, which makes a rattling sound when it moves, which is heart-breaking.
...Zhu Xiuyuan described it while admiring Dong Shuyu's cooking movements.
Although she rarely cooks, and Zhu Xiuyuan has never seen her cook at all since he came to the Dong Mansion, Dong Shuyu's movements are not jerky, and he is like a veteran.
Zhu Xiuyuan watched from the side, with a smile on his lips.
Dong Shuyu had a spoon in her hands, and her cooking movements were very beautiful, with a sense of admiring the tea ceremony. Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Of course, Zhu Xiuyuan not only watched other people's cooking actions, but also frequently looked at Dong Shuyu's face and eyes.
Compared with the action of her bare hands holding a spoon, her charming face and serious expression are more eye-catching.
She understands Zhu Xiuyuan's thoughts better and is connected with her.
This is like a bridge, connecting the two of them...
Dong Shuyu is extremely sensitive. Whenever Zhu Xiuyuan looks at her face, she can detect it and can't help but look back...
This scene, in the eyes of Chunxue and Dongmei, turned into "eyebrows"!
Haruyuki and Dongmei occasionally looked at each other, and both saw a look of shock and strangeness in each other's eyes.
But this kind of thing...it's really hard for them as maids to get into it.
Therefore, Chunxue and Dongmei pretended not to see anything, did not say a word, and just silently helped Dong Shuyu.
…
Success!
After Dong Shuyu’s skillful cooking, he finally succeeded in making a classic Sichuan delicacy—twice-cooked pork!
Because of the seasonings, the finished product of this dish is slightly different from modern twice-cooked pork.
Zhu Xiuyuan tasted it and found that the taste of the dish had not changed much.
Even because of the different ingredients, seasonings and chefs, the flavor of this dish becomes even more outstanding!
Even Zhu Xiuyuan fell deeply in love after taking one bite, let alone the old beggar who had never eaten twice-cooked pork.
The old beggar will definitely like this dish!
"Shuyu, thank you. Without you, this dish would not be possible!" Zhu Xiuyuan had a smile on his face, and he sincerely thanked her.
"Xiu Yuan, please don't say that. Without you and Gang Leader Hong, Xiu Yuan, I would have been in trouble today..."
Chunxue and Dongmei hid in a corner of the kitchen, silently looking at the young lady and the second young lady's uncle. They looked at each other and then lowered their heads silently.
…
The new dishes were cooked, and Zhu Xiuyuan immediately rushed to the living room with it.
The old beggar is still waiting there. This dish should be eaten while it is hot.
Of course, you can’t have just one dish of twice-cooked pork in a meal. In fact, there are many regular dishes.
As a new dish, this twice-cooked pork must be outstanding enough.
How to stand out?
Naturally, many other "green leaves" are needed, and there cannot be other new dishes competing for glory.
"Master, my disciple would like to introduce to you this new dish recorded in the "Secret Book of Searches"..." At a huge round table, Zhu Xiuyuan took out the bowl of twice-cooked pork from the food box and carefully placed it on the table.
This round table is not actually empty, it is already filled with many regular dishes that are green leaves.
These dishes are not bad, but they cannot attract the attention of the old beggar.
When Zhu Xiuyuan took out the bowl of twice-cooked pork from the food box, the old beggar had already approached him without caring about his appearance.
His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and he was rubbing his hands. His head with white eyebrows and white beard moved in accordance with Zhu Xiuyuan's movements of placing the dishes, and he looked full of joy.
