[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

If you beat him, you will beat him, anyway, it will be fine - with Liu Mei's current state of mind, when she heard that Baoyu was beaten, she really didn't feel much ups and downs in her heart.

Liu Mei took a deep breath, cheered up a little, quickened her pace, and went back to Yihong Courtyard to change her clothes.

At this time, the news had not yet reached Yihong Courtyard, and everyone else only said that Baoyu had gone out, but no one thought that it would be such a good meal.

When the news came from a young age, Yihong Courtyard was thrown into chaos.Xiren and the other big maidservants were all anxious and rushed to serve in Jiamu's room.It was not until half an hour later that a few strong women carried the rattan drawer spring stool and brought in the dying Baoyu.

All the maids and maids in Yihong Courtyard circled around Baoyu, but Liu Mei stayed outside Yihong Courtyard, waiting for someone she wanted to see.

"Meier!"

Lin Xiaohong came over and met Liu Mei outside the courtyard.She hadn't seen Liu Mei for some time, and when she saw it, she was very happy, and greeted her with a smile, but suddenly remembered that Baoyu had just been beaten...

"Our grandma asked me to come over and ask if there is anything urgently needed." Xiaohong was ordered by Sister Feng to run errands.

"This..." Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Mei said, "I have something to pass on to your grandma!"

……

After listening to Liu Mei's words, Xiaohong asked in amazement: "Mei'er, you really think so?" Then she became happy, "This is a good thing!"

"However," Xiaohong thought for a while, then hesitated, she turned her face and said to Liu Mei, "Actually, after the matter of going back to Hongshun Tower last time, I secretly begged our grandma for you. But grandma said, There is no rush. Since you have spoken, I must beg for you again. "

While talking, Xiaohong looked at the yard of Yihong Courtyard again, "But now your yard is full of ups and downs, people are on their backs, do you really want to talk to grandma at this time?"

Liu Mei nodded, she was sure.

"Hong'er, you just say that I asked you to say it."

When Xiaohong heard this, she gave Liu Mei a sideways glance, and said, "Whoever we two are with whom, don't come to me to be so polite."

At this time, Musk Moon in Yihong Courtyard asked, "Who is here?"

Xiao Hong hurriedly responded and rushed in, and nodded to Liu Mei before leaving, indicating that all matters were taken care of by her.

"Reminder, there is no direct communication between different quest lines." The system had actually been online a long time ago, and it wasn't until then that Liu Mei made a sound in her consciousness.

"I didn't communicate directly." Liu Mei had already thought about how to reply to the system.

She really didn't communicate directly, she passed classmate Lin Xiaohong - indirect communication!

The voice of the system was a little cold, probably because Liu Mei took advantage of the loopholes and felt very embarrassed, "The above is a routine reminder, you can cancel the follow-up reminder by replying to confirm."

Liu Mei replied the word "confirm" neatly.

"Are you sure that the other party will respond to your request?" The system finally stopped asking "why" now, and began to pick up "answer or not" type questions to ask questions.

Liu Mei was not sure, "If...the other party also knows what I learned today, she will definitely respond."

"This depends on whether your request is beneficial to the other party's quest line." The system's voice was calm, pointing out the key point to the point.

Liu Mei thinks so.

Looking back on Sister Feng's behavior, she believes that Sister Feng is a person who "doesn't make it early without profit".And she believes that Sister Feng is more motivated to do something than she is.

Sister Feng clearly knows that she is a different kind, just as she understands that Sister Feng is carrying another quest line.Even if they can't communicate directly, the two should have some tacit understanding.

In Yihong Courtyard, Xiaohong hurriedly took a look at Baoyu, and then left in a hurry.

Liu Mei waited for the news in the backyard of Yihong Courtyard, and waited until the sun set and the heat dissipated, when she heard someone shouting from outside the yard: "Second|Grandma is here!"

Liu Mei didn't intend to meet Sister Feng face to face, so she stayed in the backyard of Yihong Courtyard, not daring to come forward.

But I saw a man escaped from Baoyu's room, came straight to the backyard, and met Liu Mei face to face.

It was Daiyu who came, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, like tears.Seeing that it was Liu Mei, Daiyu was relieved a little, and then raised the handkerchief in her hand to wipe away her tears.Liu Mei came over without making a sound, and helped Daiyu out from the backyard, thinking in her heart: Okay, today I have returned two big vats of tears.

When Daiyu was sent back to the Xiaoxiang Hall and Liu Mei returned, the Yihong Courtyard was bustling with activity.Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng both came, and their respective maids were chatting in the outer courtyard of Yihong Courtyard.Mrs. Wang is said to have found Xiren alone for a one-on-one interview.

When Xiao Hong saw Liu Mei from afar, she lost her wink.The two came to the backyard one after the other, and Liu Mei saw Xiaohong's frowning expression - this is Sister Feng, didn't you agree?

Xiao Hong leaned into Liu Mei's ear and said: "Grandma said, she always remembers your affairs, but because of the many things in this mansion, it may not be possible to make your wish come true, but here... She will make you work."

This is promised!

Liu Mei nodded again and again - she didn't care about the name and face, she wanted to find more opportunities to do something.

"It seems that you have some doubts about the result of today's consultation?" The system never went offline, but asked Liu Mei after Xiaohong left.

"There is no doubt!"

Liu Mei answered very openly.

"Since you already understand the self-healing function of the world, why do you need to make such unnecessary efforts?" the system asked.

"Since in this world, I can fix whatever I do, so why should I have any scruples? Of course, I can do whatever I can!" Liu Mei seemed to have completely thought about it, and retorted without hesitation. went back.

She already had some new ideas about this world and began to regain her confidence.At the same time, she is gradually practicing hard, deliberately not thinking about certain things, so as not to be read by the system at will.

The next day, Daiyu got up early and didn't have a good meal, so she hurried out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion after freshening up.

Zijuan knew that she wanted to visit Baoyu in Yihong Courtyard, so she didn't say much. She just gave Liu Mei a wink and asked Liu Mei to follow Daiyu and take care of her a little bit.

Liu Mei followed behind Daiyu, and they also saw Baochai coming out of Hengwu Garden listlessly and heading out of the garden.

Daiyu was careful, and when she saw the tears on Baochai's face, she couldn't help but said that those two vats of tears could not heal the sores.When Daiyu turned around at this time, she realized that Liu Meishang was following behind her.

Liu Mei: How embarrassing!

Daiyu also blushed slightly, looking at Liu Mei.

Liu Mei had no choice but to point to the first-fruited plum tree beside her and said: "I just tasted a green plum on this tree, it's so sour!" Toothless.

Daiyu stared at her, finally couldn't hold it back, and let out a "chi" laugh. The description of her blushing and then being amused, she was still a frank and innocent little girl.

After this smile, Daiyu's brows became brighter, as if she had let go of something in her heart.She looked at Liu Mei and said, "I know! From now on...you don't have to taste that sour plum on purpose."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu turned her face away, and together with Liu Mei, she stood for a while under the shade of flowers in the far distance of Yihong Courtyard.

I saw people from the Grand View Garden appear one after another, not to mention Sanchun Li Wan, even the three generations of bosses, old, middle-aged and young, also appeared together, and they all went into the Yihong Courtyard together.After a while, Baochai also brought Aunt Xue from outside the garden and went into the courtyard.

Seeing Daiyu's sad expression, Liu Mei hurriedly said: "So many people have gone, the girl should also go to sit down with my son! Maybe there are fresh snacks in Yihong Courtyard to try?"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, but fortunately she knew Liu Mei was delicious, so she smiled and said: "You are really a glutton, let's go!"

As soon as the two entered Yihong Courtyard, they heard Sister Feng's voice from a distance, "Brother Bao, why do you want to eat this?"

Xiaohong was walking towards the outside of Yihong courtyard at this time, when she bumped into Liumei, she hurriedly said, "Coincidentally, our grandma is looking for you?" She first let Daiyu enter the hall, and then went to pull Liumei.

"Girl from the Liu family," Sister Feng was standing next to Jia's mother at this time, and when she saw Liu Mei coming in, she asked, "Did your mother teach you about the little lotus leaf and lotus pod soup that the house made in the old year? "

Liu Mei thought, no one needs to teach this!

But in front of the boss in this room, she nodded very cooperatively.

"Do you remember where you kept the dies you used to stamp the faces?"

what's the situation?Do you want to ask her this too?

For the sake of caution, Liu Meixian asked cautiously: "If you go back to Lian's second grandma, shouldn't the mold... be in the kitchen?"

Sister Feng shook her head and said, "I remember it seems to have been paid."

Liu Mei thought to herself, this Sister Feng probably remembers it very clearly, but she just refuses to say it.

"Isn't it... because those were several pairs of silver molds, they were all taken away by the person in charge of gold and silver utensils?" Liu Mei reminded.

Sister Feng's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said, "Yes, I remembered, it's for that end." She looked down at Liu Mei with satisfaction, then smiled and approached Jiamu, and said, "Old lady, look at you." The person who was selected last time was indeed a 'coincidence'. Since Brother Bao is thinking about eating so much food, why don't you let her watch the kitchen and prepare it!"

Gold was pasted on Jia Mu's face, and Liu Mei's whole body was neatly tidied up, so there was nothing wrong with her.

Sister Feng called Feng'er and Liu Mei to the kitchen together, ordered to kill a few chickens, and then added more ingredients, watched the kitchen make more bowls of soup, and sent them to the garden when they were ready.

"Why are you making so many bowls?" Mrs. Wang next to her was puzzled.

Sister Feng looked at Liu Mei, as if encouraging Liu Mei to answer.

Liu Mei lowered her head and replied honestly: "As for the second wife, this dish depends on good soup. It must be fresh and the fragrance of lotus leaves should be brought out. Only make one bowl, and make ten bowls. The effort and ingredients are not much different. Besides, when Master Bao mentioned this soup, he must be thinking of the old lady, two wives, aunts, grandmas and girls... There is absolutely no reason to make only one bowl .”

In fact, the reason is very simple, the soup is naturally stewed in a big pot - Liu Mei said a lot of words, and only summed up this sentence in his heart.

Her rhetoric immediately won the favor of Jia Mu and others, "Poor boy!" Jia Mu used a standard interjection, "This child, it can be seen that he has a clever mind."

"Old lady, no matter how coincidental this girl is, is it my coincidence?" Sister Feng yelled in disbelief.

"It's much more honest than a monkey like you!" Mrs. Wang said with a smile beside her.Seeing that Liu Mei mentioned Baoyu's filial piety, she felt beautiful in her heart.

Liu Mei hurriedly pulled Feng'er back together.Sister Feng behaved in the same way in front of others. To be honest, she was still not used to it—but at last the two of them cooperated well and did not cause any trouble.

Feng'er took Sister Feng's key, and together with Liu Mei, went to the small warehouse for gold and silver vessels, and brought out four sets of silver molds.

Liu Mei held the four sets of silver molds in her hands, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

When cooking the dishes of the Red Mansion in later generations, Liu Mei imagined what the four sets of molds would look like countless times, but only when she took this mold in her hand, did she really feel: this object is so delicate.

The mold is one foot long and one inch square, and the stamps on it are no more than the size of a bean, such as chrysanthemum, plum blossom, lotus pod, water chestnut...there are as many as thirty or forty kinds of designs and colors.

This is her lifetime series - make sure to put these molds to good use!Liu Mei thought to herself, went to the big kitchen, and talked to the lady in charge.The lady in charge didn't dare to be negligent, so she quickly called a few quick servants to help the cook, and helped Liu Mei make this soup together.

Liu Mei knew that these servants were all at the level of Mother Liu, and knew that there was nothing to order, so she immediately asked them to slaughter chickens and make soup, while she and another young wife started to make this little lotus by hand. .

Sister Feng only knew that these small lotus pods were pressed with mixed noodles, but Liu Mei knew that besides mixed noodles, these can also be made with minced chicken, fish paste, shrimp paste, etc.

She imagined the taste of these ingredients for a while, and only picked the one that matched the aroma of the lotus leaf, then took the chicken breast, finely chopped it into minced chicken, rubbed a little bit of ginger, and added a little bit of it Beat horseshoe crumbs, egg whites and a little mixed noodles together vigorously.

Seeing that Liu Mei wanted to use a silver mold, Feng Er went to the kitchen, took out another bottle of tea oil, and stuffed it into Liu Mei's hand, "Go ahead and use it!"

"Okay!" Liu Mei didn't intend to be polite to any of Sister Feng's people, took it, spread an even layer of tea oil on the mold, then filled the mold with minced chicken and the fillings, waited for the steamer to be steamed, Steam immediately.

She immediately freed her hands to watch the servants make chicken soup.

Because the soup is made for the bosses of the Jia family, the kitchen does not dare to neglect it. The chickens are boiled with the best ingredients. The freshly killed whole chickens are served with top-quality Jinhua ham, soaked magnolia slices and mushrooms. , Shrimp wrapped in cloth and Kaiyang... seasoning does not use salt, only fresh cut bacon.After the soup is cooked, all the materials used are discarded, and only the clarified clear soup remains.

When Liu Mei saw the soup, she took the small lotus pods out of the steamer, shook them out of the mold, and added them to the soup; the last thing to be processed was the lotus leaves.

Liu Mei was not completely sure of Rongfu's method, so she asked a servant woman in the kitchen who had actual combat experience to operate it.

I saw a servant woman took young lotus leaves picked from the pond in Daguan Garden, one by one, no more than the size of a palm, stacked them in a sea bowl, and "flyed" them with boiling water, and the kitchen immediately overflowed with fragrance.

Liu Mei and the servants hurriedly put the lotus leaves into bowls. The blanched lotus leaves were green, and the small lotus pods and water chestnuts were floating in the clear soup, which was really beautiful.
