Chapter 13 Xue Ba is a man with a big brain

After Xie Shi's drastic reform of the breakfast menu in the academy cafeteria, it looks a little less styled, but the taste is completely different.As for the lack of styles, there is no way around it. The two original chefs were fired, and except for the special cook like Wu Bai who was in charge of the white case, the rest were apprentices or helpers with no education. It takes a few minutes to work, and I can't worry about Xie Shi.

Xie Shi lacked skills, so he couldn't do all the work by himself, so he could only gradually enrich the style of breakfast by cultivating the cooking skills of apprentices and help cooks as soon as possible.Xie Shi's expectation for the breakfast in the cafeteria is not only the porridge and side dishes, his goal is to bring Cantonese morning tea to the cafeteria's morning food window!

Fortunately, Xie Shi is different from ordinary cooks who cherish their brooms. He is very meticulous when teaching people, and he is not stingy with letting apprentices go to the stove. After his instruction, most of the apprentices and helpers in the back kitchen can get started quickly. .So in the end, Xie Shi was only in charge of guiding from the sidelines, and everyone worked together to prepare the morning meals for the teachers and students of the academy.

Taking advantage of the fact that the morning reading of the students was not over yet, and after Chef Xie sent people to disperse for dinner, the kitchen staff who had been busy early in the morning and the helpers who needed to order food all sat down quickly and began to wait Taste the deliciousness first hand.

The first thing Wu Da tasted was the barbecued pork buns made by Xie Shi and the steamed buns filled with soup. You won’t feel greasy after eating ten of them; the small steamed buns are as small as a water chestnut, the skin is as thin as cicada’s wings, comparable to Dengying beef, when you bite a corner gently, the hot marinade inside slowly flows out, plump and tender. Oil, thick but not heavy!

On the other hand, what I and my apprentices made, the stuffed pork buns are a bit thick and greasy, the skin of the steamed stuffed bun is not thin enough, and the folds are not enough. Even with the same steps and ingredients taught by Xie Shi, the deliciousness cannot be fully replicated.

Wu Bai looked at Xie Shi who was not far away, his young but convincing figure, secretly stunned, he didn't know how this Xie Jia Shilang, who seemed to have no fingers in the sun, did it, Whether it's pasta or porridge, everything made by him tastes ten times better than those made by others.

Since he came, the cafeteria, which was originally unknown, has gained a good reputation among the teachers and students of the academy, and the students' enthusiasm for eating in the cafeteria has increased a lot.Now, Wu Bai, who was still quite critical of his cooking skills and age, was completely convinced, especially after knowing that Xie Shi was broad-minded and would not hesitate to teach them cooking skills, he secretly made up his mind to actively cooperate and take care of this Respect the chef for it!

Ordinary people don't have the sharp tongue of a cook like Wu Dalang, and they are also full of praise for the breakfasts made by the helpers, and they all want to swallow their bowls.

Aunt Lu brought a bowl of wonton family portrait that she was thinking of, and drank it in a sip of soup. The tip of her tongue, which had not been stimulated for a long time, was so fresh that it was numb, and then wontons with various fillings appeared one by one, dancing between her lips and teeth. The skin was so tender and slippery that it slipped into the throat inadvertently.

Before she could recall it, the ancient and long bell rang in the academy. Aunt Lu had no choice but to stop chewing the wonton slowly, and everyone speeded up to finish it.Not long after, there were the footsteps of students hurrying over.

Xue Ba hadn't set foot in the cafeteria for a long time. As a son of a rich family, since he received special eugenic treatment, he immediately asked his family to send a servant who had served him for many years. You need to ensure that you are firmly in the top ten in the academic exams in the year-old exam.For this reason, the eldest young master, who was originally not keen on studying, was stunned and stunned. He worked hard and became a top student. He was so happy that the head of the Xue family donated a hundred acres of school land to Dongcang Academy!

Yesterday during the break, he heard that a new chef came to the cafeteria. Apart from being delicious, the dishes he made seemed to have other miraculous effects. I was praised by my husband in class yesterday afternoon.

Although Xue Ba is quite skeptical about the so-called miraculous effect of refreshing the mind, but in order not to lag behind other students in their studies, he naturally refuses to let go of every little trick to improve academic performance.Fortunately, I missed the morning meal, and because the snacks at noon are unlimited, Xue Ba finally ate something made by the new chef.

Xue Ba's servant brought him red bean double-skin milk and another pastry. The pastry was as usual, unremarkable and even a little sweet. As a rich young master who had tasted delicious delicacies since childhood, it was natural He doesn't like this kind of craftsmanship, but he is quite amazed by the red bean double-skin milk snacks!

Xue Ba originally hated things like milk, no matter how good the milk was, he could still smell the milky smell. At first, he thought the red bean double-skin milk was made of tofu, but he didn’t expect to eat it until he realized that it was what he hated the most. It is made of milk, but it has no fishy smell at all, but the milk is fragrant and soft, and it turns out that it is really fragrant!

However, unfortunately, he did not feel the so-called miraculous effect of refreshing the heart, and Xue Ba was not surprised. After all, it was just food, not medicinal materials. As for the feelings of others, he thought it was the psychology of those classmates who hadn't eaten many good things. That's all.If the matter ended here, it would be a mediocre food episode. However, Xue Sheng was sitting on the right side of Xue Ba.

Dongcang Academy is roughly divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D according to the progress of learning classics, history, policy, etc., and each level is divided into several classes of varying numbers according to the number of students, such as Class A, Class C, and Class II.Xue Sheng is one of the two most influential students in Class B, the other is Han Ning. The two always compete for the first and second places in Class B, and also take the top two in Class B. The other students can only compete with each other. Behind their ass, grab No.3.

The reason why Xue Sheng made Xue Ba pay special attention was that apart from the fact that they were competitors in the exam, it was also because strictly speaking, the two were related. Xue Sheng's grandfather and Xue Ba's grandfather were brothers. However, the family was separated in that generation. Grandpa Xue Sheng’s lineage moved to other places because of being an official. A book seedling, don't you cherish it all the more.

The situation of the two families is quite different now, Xue Sheng's father died early, orphans and widowed, living in poverty, while Xue Ba's family is thriving, wealthy, and due to various reasons, the relationship between the two families is very estranged.Xue Ba has been competing secretly with Xue Sheng, so naturally he observes him from time to time on weekdays—mainly to observe what books he reads and what school tools he uses...

This afternoon, Xue Ba, who was good at observing, found that his distant cousin, who was thin and thin, and whose lips were always white and bloodless in midsummer, as if he was about to fall down in the next second, unexpectedly had a ruddy complexion and Full of learning spirit, no longer tired and weak in the past!This surprised Xue Ba!Xue Ba, who is good at observation, also has a big brain. I don't know what he thinks, but he thinks of red beans to nourish yin and blood, and treat Qi and blood disorders!

Xue Ba: Is it possible that the miraculous effect of this food depends on the ingredients?Maybe the effect varies from person to person, and the weaker the person, the more obvious the effect?

Xue Ba was distracted all afternoon by his own discoveries and conjectures. However, when he thought about experimenting after lunch in the evening, he found that none of the meals brought by the boy was cooked by the new chef.After asking, I found out that Chef Xie’s craftsmanship became famous among the students due to the two meals at morning and noon, which led to a long queue at the window for new dishes. The servants lined up to pick up their picks, and immediately became furious, and pushed all the squatters out of the queue!

Xue Ba: ... As for it?

Xue Ba was speechless. In desperation, after finishing his morning reading today, he could only set foot in the cafeteria again after a long time.It's not some kind of dragon liver and phoenix marrow, after he has verified his conjecture, he will...eat the cafeteria every day!

At the same time, he also saw several other classmates who didn't eat in the cafeteria like him before also came to the cafeteria today.

Fu Yu and the others lined up early, and found a seat with a view of the mountains to sit down and enjoy delicious food.Fu Yu sharp-eyed saw Xue Ba who was standing in the crowd, curled his lips and said, "That fake-faced scholar Xue Ba condescended to come to the cafeteria, hmph! This fellow must have come here because of Mr. Xie's cooking skills." !"

Cai Hua asked while eating: "How did he provoke you, and you always see him as a dislike?"

Fu Yu didn't forget to eat while replying to his words, and because he ate too fast, he was scalded by the brine in the steamed bun, and he kept breathing "Shasha", "This man is really pretending! How to memorize and recite, it seems to be easy to learn, but secretly I found out that I am reading at night with the lamp on, and I have been imitating the boss and Xue Sheng! What a villain!"

Cai Hua smiled: "Although this Xue Ba's behavior is a bit weird, it's not a bad thing for someone to work hard and be a master of learning. You give people nicknames behind your back, and be careful of being reported to the head of the house." His long name is Qiu Zhi, and he mainly supervises the discipline and conduct of the students in the academy. As his name suggests, he is extremely strict and rigid. The students are as honest as quails just by listening to his name.

Fu Yu whispered indignantly: "I heard people say that he also gave me a nickname, calling me Fatty Fu behind his back!"

Not to mention the childish confrontation secretly among the students in this academy, in Shiqian Pavilion, Xie Shizai carefully read the deed in his hand, picked up a pen and signed it slowly, and the agile and elegant cursive in one hand jumped onto the paper, He pressed his fingerprints neatly, and handed one of the copies to Cen Yu who was opposite him.

This deed is the dividend agreement for the sugar factory that was agreed last time. Cen Yu personally saw the yellow mud decolorization prescription given by the sugar workshop when he thanked him, and turned the brown sugar into white sugar worth thousands of dollars. He sent it.

Mr. Cen was so ecstatic with his meal that he had no time to take care of it, so Xie Shi had to hand it over to the servant behind him.Cen Yu comfortably drank a cup of seafood casserole porridge, a bowl of wontons, and added another drawer of char siew buns and xiaolongbao. In the end, his stomach was really empty, so he could only reluctantly give up the other two kinds of porridge.

Cen Yu sighed contentedly: "Since Tanwei came to the academy, I have been looking forward to eating three meals a day in the cafeteria! By the way, and the refreshments you gave me last time, I went to see Mr. Song yesterday to discuss lectures. Things, he still asked, when will you do it again?"

Xie Shi smiled and said: "In that case, then I will replace the afternoon snacks of today's teachers and students with tea cakes."

Cen Yu responded with a full mouth, and then said to Xie Shi: "The dividends of the sugar workshop are settled every month, and I will have someone send it to you on a monthly basis. Tanwei has helped me so much. Just open your mouth."

Xie Shi thought about it, but he remembered one thing that really needs his help, "There is one thing that really needs Gu'an's help. I like to grow some flowers and plants on weekdays, and recently I found a kind of vermilion fruit that came from overseas. After experimenting, I found that it can be used in dishes or as fruits and vegetables, and I want to buy some fields to grow this fruit. Is there any recommended places in Gu'an?"

Cen Yu found something new when he thanked him. Although it was a fruit to eat, he also asked enthusiastically: "How does this taste? I am familiar with buying land. Leave it to me. What kind of land does Tanwei want to buy?" ? First-class field or middle-class field? Sandy land or depression?"

Xie Shi thought about it: "This food tastes sweet and sour. It is sweet and slightly sour when eaten raw, and the taste of vegetables is changeable. As for the field, you don't need a good field, you only need a well-drained field." Tomatoes can't be planted in depressions inside.After hearing this, Cen Yu thought for a while: "If Tanwei doesn't need a good field, I think a field is suitable for you, and the price is low and the distance is close."

Xie Shi was curious: "Where is it?"

Cen Yu smiled and said: "You also know that every academy has some school fields allocated by the government, which vary in size and quality, but our academy is unlucky, the school fields given by the government are allocated on this mountain, for various reasons, The output of this school field is not much, if Tanwei wants it, the academy can be sold to you, the price is very cheap, the disadvantage is that the land is not very good."

Don't look at what Cen Yu said about the academy being so miserable, in fact, it's mainly because the academy has a great career, and there are so many good school fields, and they just don't like the free school fields given by the government.

Xie Shi thought about it, and proposed to go to the field to see before making a decision. Cen Yu happened to be fine, so he led him to the back mountain.
