The dishes I cook are invincible and delicious [System]

Song Ruan didn't know if it was an illusion, the fish in front of her didn't feel it when she was in the water, but when she held it in her hand, she felt that it was much heavier for no reason.

"Could it be that you have gained a few catties from the food and drink these past few days?"

Song Ruan muttered a few words, but the lunch in front of him was the most important thing. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to put it aside, rolled up his sleeves, and then began to prepare the sauce for mandarin fish .

Naturally, he does not need to handle fish such as scraping fish scales and removing internal organs. His deputies are more experienced and efficient in killing fish than Song Ruan.After processing the internal organs, the assistants cleaned the fish, and according to Song Ruan's instructions, smeared Song Ruan's special cooking wine and salt on the fish, and then massaged half a stick of incense, so that the taste of the cooking wine was fully immersed in it. It will not appear salty on one side and bland on the other, and the taste will be mottled and uneven.

After the mandarin fish is marinated, stuff the onion, ginger and other seasonings into the belly of the fish to neutralize the fishy smell of the fish.

In this way, the mandarin fish is processed.

And the sauce on Song Ruan's side was almost finished blending. Holding a large spoon in one hand, he lightly weighed some of the sauce, tasted it, and felt that the taste was just right, so he poured half of the sauce on the mandarin fish. , and finally steamed in a large pot.

After the fish is steamed, pour the other half of the sauce and sprinkle some chopped green onion as a decoration.In this way, a steamed mandarin fish with good color, fragrance and taste is ready.

Because fish contains the auspicious meaning of "more than every year", and mandarin fish is homonymous with "Guiyu", which has the meaning of beauty and wealth, so this dish is very important in the hearts of people at that time.

Maybe some people will not touch other dishes because of the taste, but when the steamed mandarin fish is on the table, everyone will grab a piece of fish and feel happy.

So the taste of this steamed mandarin fish is also very important.

After serving this dish, the rest are basically desserts and fruits.

Compared with the main course in front, the dim sum in the back is much more casual.Because at the banquet, people basically don’t eat rice and only drink and eat vegetables, so some pasta such as buns will be served later to make it easier for the guests to fill their stomachs.

And what Song Ruan is best at is the lotus paste bun.

He carefully wrapped the lotus paste stuffing into the dough. His white and slender thumb and forefinger were like two wings of a butterfly. He nimbly and nimbly pinched the dough. After a few strokes, he made a nice shape. Finally, he closed his mouth and gave a The beautiful buns are ready.

He put the buns on the chopping board and was about to continue wrapping when he suddenly heard a messy footsteps coming towards him, and at the same time a servant's voice penetrated the crowded kitchen and reached his ears, "Young Master Song ! Mr. Song!"

Without raising her head, Song Ruan quickly squeezed another bun in her hands.He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and the flour on his hand left a mark on his forehead.He didn't know it, and responded, "Here it is."

The young man brushed past everyone's shoulders and finally squeezed in. He wiped the sweat off his face and said with a low laugh, "We are looking for you."

As he spoke, he took out a small bronze mirror and a handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed them to Song Ruan.

Song Ruan didn't know why, seeing him pointing to his forehead, he suddenly realized, and wiped his face clean with a handkerchief.

"What did the staff ask me for?" He pointed to a large pile of things on the table, a little embarrassed, "I haven't prepared the dishes here yet, and I can't do without people."

"The outsider said, let them be busy."

The little servant chuckled, and then pointed to Song Ruan himself, "Don't worry about the food, but worry about this matter."

"..."

Song Ruan was silent for a moment, then took off the apron on her body, took a ladle of water, washed her hands carefully, and then replied lightly, "Let's go."

Chen Yuanwai came to him for nothing more than two things, either to praise him or to punish him.

But if it's a compliment, he shouldn't be asked to come here when the main course has not been finished and the desserts have not been served... Could it be that there is something wrong with the food?

Song Ruan's heart tightened slightly.

He didn't worry about anything else, only the fish that had a little accident...

The luncheon was held in the garden. On the large lawn, there were neat rows of tables and tables. People of all colors and gorgeous costumes toasted and laughed. The celadon wine glasses collided and made a crisp sound.

Song Ruan was led to Yuanwai Chen's table by the servant, who was talking and laughing loudly with some of his friends, when he saw him coming, he quickly waved for him to come over, and then told the servants, "Go and add a chair. "

He said let Song Ruan sit down, but how can Song Ruan really sit among the high-ranking officials and nobles at this table?

He clasped his hands in salute, and showed a decent smile, "Member, I just came out of the kitchen and I still smell fishy, ​​so I won't sit down and disturb your pleasure."

"What's the smell... By the way, we were talking about you fish just now."

Chen Yuanwai pointed to the clean fish skeleton on the table, which was both novelty and joy, "I asked Mr. Xu to visit your place before, but he didn't tell me that this fish is so delicious. "

Mr. Xu, who was sitting beside him, laughed, "Chairman, I was also taken aback this time. The fish from last time was definitely not as delicious as this one. It seems that Boss Song has reserved a hand for Xiao Jing. and you."

"Keep it handy."

Another person on the table clapped his hands and said, "I saw some people go to order and order all the delicious dishes. But I don't do this. If I only order two or three dishes every time I go, wouldn't it be a good idea every time I go? Any surprises?"

"It's just you who are delusional."

Someone scolded with a smile, and then asked curiously, "When your steamed mandarin fish was first served, I was shocked... I have eaten a lot of mandarin fish, but I have never seen such a big fish. It looks like the fish is very fresh and tender, without any fishy smell... Where did you buy it from?"

I bought it from Uncle Liu's house in Xishi, but it was not so big at that time.

It wasn't until it was put into the snowy water of Buzhou Mountain that the fish gained a lot of weight.

But it was impossible for Song Ruan to tell them the truth of the matter, so he had to say vaguely, "I bought the fish back, provided some good bait for myself, and raised it slowly. Maybe I ate too much, and I grew up... ..."

When he said this, it sounded very amateurish.

After hearing this, the man stopped questioning him and said with a teasing smile, "You see, Mr. Song can raise such a juicy fish by raising a fish casually. The guy in my family took the trouble to raise a pond of koi. After a few days I was sick for several days, and my wife was so worried that she couldn't sleep."

The person who spoke was a wealthy businessman in the jade business. His surname was Zhou. His business was very large, and he was quite important in the capital.Along with his business, he is also famous for his temper that is afraid of domestic pets. I heard that his wife is ten years younger than Boss Zhou, and she is a lady who does not touch a spoon. When Boss Zhou was poor and white, Madam Zhou married him. ridiculed by everyone.

Fortunately, Boss Zhou was very upbeat, starting from scratch, and within a few years, Mrs. Zhou was able to live a good life again, which once became a good story in the capital.

Mrs. Zhou had no other hobbies when she was a lady. She just liked to sit by the pond and feed the fish. Unfortunately, although she liked it, she was not born with fish. She raised a few and died. Boss Zhou watched his wife because of sick fish. , unhappy, but also very distressed.

"Hey."

Boss Zhou sighed, "You don't know, my wife treats these fish better than her own son. In the past few days, several fish have been sick. She doesn't eat, and just sits in the pond every day. Watching the fish... how can the body get worse if things go on like this?"

"..."

Song Ruan's expression moved slightly, and his two lips, as thin as peach blossoms, opened and closed.

But before he could make a sound, someone helped him say it in advance, "Why don't you let Xiao Song try it?"

It was Yuanwai Chen who spoke.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help being stunned.

Member Chen saw that everyone was puzzled, so he explained, "Although Mr. Song doesn't understand fish, he is good at cooking, and you all have seen it before. Since your siblings are not feeling well and have no appetite, you might as well try Mr. Song's dishes. I I believe that there are very few people in this world who can reject Mr. Song's craftsmanship."

He said this with confidence in his heart.

After all, his friends also knew that after Mr. Chen entered Xia, his appetite was not very good, and he refused to eat all the time.But today, I saw that the dishes were all clean, and there was no residue anywhere.

Isn't this all the credit of Mr. Song in front of him?

Zhou Fushang changed his mind and turned around.

He and Chen Yuanwai had always been on good terms, so Yuanwai was willing to personally vouch for and recommend this Mr. Song to him in front of everyone.No matter what, he couldn't lose face outside the staff.

What's more, the craftsmanship of this Mr. Song is indeed fascinating, maybe it can really make his wife eat two more meals?

"What I want to mention is that such a talent is in front of me, why didn't I expect it."

Zhou Fushang shook his head as if remorseful, and then looked at Song Ruan expectantly, "Then...why Mr. Song would like to be beautiful?"

Well, if you take this order, you don't have to worry about the next task.

Song Ruan remained calm on the surface, only smiled slightly, then cupped his hands, and said very modestly, "It's just a little effort."

"what?!"

Yang Yuan raised his eyebrows in a rare way, and his voice suddenly raised, which startled Song Ruan, "Why are you going to cook for others again?! The 400 taels last time I saw that the account book hadn't been moved. Let's If you don’t need money, why do you run to this house and that house?”

"..."

Song Ruan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Account book? Yang Yuan, tell me honestly, are you bullying Scholar Zhang?"

Yang Yuan: "I, I don't. If you don't believe me, ask him!"

He turned his face away and glared at Zhang Shusheng.

Song Ruan also turned around, and saw Zhang Shusheng, whose mouth was slightly green, touching the account book that was almost torn apart, shaking his head like a rattle.

Yang Yuan: "...Hello."
