Fourth Master's Little Cook

After eating wontons with Gao Xiaobao, Ye Xue quickly chopped pork on the chopping board. She knew that people in the north had to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but she and Fourth Master couldn't eat much together, plus other things I'm afraid it's almost enough to make twenty dumplings.

"By the way, Xiaobao, do you know what stuffing fourth master likes to eat when eating dumplings?"

With a knife in both hands, Ye Xue chopped the meat on the chopping board into meat sauce. In the sound of "Tu Tu Tu Tu", her voice was even slightly shaken.Ye Xue was a little at a loss as to what fillings to use for making dumplings. After all, Fourth Master didn't usually eat dumplings, and she had never heard from Su Peisheng what fillings he liked.You must know that in Great China, there are many ways to eat this dumpling, and everyone likes different tastes. If she makes a stuffing that Si Ye doesn't like, wouldn't it be an embarrassment for Si Ye during the Chinese New Year?

Gao Xiaobao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied uncertainly: "I'm not sure about this... How about Sister Xue wrap some different fillings? It would be interesting to eat this way, and Fourth Master can choose what he likes taste to eat."

Gao Xiaobao washed his hands and began to knead the dough, ready to roll the dumpling wrappers. Although he doesn't know much about other things, he is quite good at rolling dumpling wrappers. As for the dumplings with fourth master's favorite fillings, Xiaobao really doesn't know , His master probably doesn't know.

After hearing what Xiaobao said, Ye Xue also had an idea. It requires fewer dishes and more meanings, so it would be good to make dumplings with different fillings. If Fourth Master doesn't like one of them, just change it to another one. There is always something he likes to eat.

Ye Xue thought about it, and quickly took other ingredients to chop up. Finally, she prepared stuffed cabbage and pork, egg and tofu stuffing, horseshoe pork stuffing, three delicacies stuffing, corn and pine nut stuffing, corn chicken stuffing, mushroom chicken Gao Xiaobao was stunned by the ten kinds of fillings, including shrimp and tofu filling, leek pork filling, and celery beef filling.

"Sister Xue, why don't you get a hot pot? This way you can eat dumplings, rice cakes, and meatballs. It's also convenient to make, and it's especially hot."

Gao Xiaobao saw Ye Xue's posture of making dumpling stuffing, and hurriedly opened his mouth.Fourth master told him not to make Ye Xue tired, and Gao Xiaobao himself didn't want to see Ye Xue busy back and forth, but he didn't expect Ye Xue to make ten kinds of dumpling stuffing out of him, and he didn't want to see this rice ball cake again Ye Xue took the trouble to work, after all, it's not certain whether Fourth Master will have a bite.

Fourth Master actually wanted to have dinner with Fujin today, but he didn't want Ye Xue to celebrate the new year alone, so he decided to go back to the study after dinner with Fujin, and have another meal with Ye Xue.For this reason, fourth master dismissed everyone in the dining room, lest this matter spread to the backyard.So if Ye Xue cooked too much, Fourth Master would probably have a headache, and when Fourth Master had a headache, Xiaobao felt that his butt would also hurt.

Ye Xue didn't doubt that he was there, and quickly prepared the ingredients for the hot pot with Gao Xiaobao. In addition to the dumplings just made, there were also four-color meatballs, rice cakes, thinly sliced ​​beef and mutton, and some Fourth Master's favorite vegetables and mushrooms.The bottom of the pot is old hen soup that has been stewed all afternoon, and it also puts wolfberry, red dates and a piece of old wild ginseng, which is very healthy.

Gao Xiaobao felt full when he saw this hot pot, but he didn't know what fourth master thought when he saw it. You must know that fourth master always cooks for Ye Xue's face, this time all the dishes on the table are Ye Xue's handicrafts , isn't he going to eat until his stomach bursts?Gao Xiaobao suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Fourth Master.

After Ye Xue finished preparing the hot pot, she cooked two more dishes before giving up. The first dish was Yu Ruyi, which used soybean sprouts called Ruyi dishes. After washing the soybean sprouts, they were boiled in chicken broth until five Separately cooked, then fished out and put into fish soup, boiled until half ripe, then placed neatly on a rectangular porcelain plate, making a jade-like shape.

Then, Ye Xue slowly poured a spoonful of hot beef bone soup on the bean sprouts, and while the bean sprouts were cooked, they also infused the bean sprouts with a new taste.Finally, the soup is poured out to restore the original color of the bean sprouts, and then a few auspicious clouds carved from yams are placed on the plate, and a jade ruyi is completed.

The second dish is the indispensable "Niannianyu" on the New Year's Eve dinner table. What Ye Xue cooks is sweet-scented osmanthus fish, imitating the practice of squirrel mandarin fish, but because there is no tomato, the last dish is made of vinegar and soy sauce. The sauce is a bit different, but it looks good with pine nuts sprinkled on it.

Ye Xue took a sip of the sauce and was very satisfied, then she turned to Gao Xiaobao and asked, "Xiaobao, are you full? Would you like something else? Anyway, Eunuch Su hasn't come to order dinner yet."

Ye Xue made a lot of dumplings just now, she was afraid that her stuffing would not taste good, so she asked Gao Xiaobao to taste the taste first, but Xiao Bao tasted one of each flavor, and said each flavor was delicious.However, the amount of a dumpling is not large, Ye Xue was worried that Xiaobao would be hungry again after a lot of work, anyway, there were only the two of them in the dining room, so there were not so many rules.

When Gao Xiaobao heard that Ye Xue was going to cook him food, he nodded abruptly. After eating the food made by Ye Xue, people had a feeling that they couldn't stop eating. Although he was not hungry, Ye Xue offered to make him something to eat. Of course not.So when the fourth master went back to the study and asked Su Peisheng to call for someone in the dining room, Gao Xiaobao was already hiccupping.

Sweet-scented osmanthus fish, jade ruyi, steamed pork ribs with pumpkin powder and a hot pot, the dishes don't look like many, but the ingredients for the hot pot are all placed on the table, it seems that the table is full.

The fourth master who had already eaten dumplings at Fujin was already a little full when he saw the hot pot, but he had already prepared and asked Su Peisheng to prepare a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus. When he put her down, he didn't know how much Ye Xue had eaten.

After Su Peisheng left with his servants, the fourth master graciously picked up some vegetables for Ye Xue. Although he couldn't eat much, he could watch Ye Xue eat. Wouldn't it be a great pleasure to watch beauties enjoy the food?After Ye Xue ate two pieces of steamed pork ribs with pumpkin powder, Fourth Master took the smallest piece into his stomach. Originally, he was already a bit greasy after eating at Fujin's place, so he didn't really want to eat meat anymore, but the ribs melted with pumpkin The taste is not greasy, and the lid of the pumpkin is always covered, the meat is still hot, not cold at all.

"Is this placed in the shape of Yu Ruyi? Boiled in plain water?"

Fourth Master finished eating the ribs, and quickly set his sights on the only vegetable. The soybean sprouts were well-shaped, but they seemed too simple. Could it be boiled bean sprouts?The fourth master, who had experienced ginger slices and green vegetables, felt that it was very possible for Ye Xue to serve him boiled bean sprouts.

Ye Xue smiled and said nothing, Fourth Master took a sip with suspicion, only to find that the bean sprouts are similar to boiling water cabbage, it looks like it is boiled in plain water, but it is actually boiled in high broth, not to mention delicious, it is also delicious. Very refreshing, the crispness of soybean sprouts is completely preserved.

When Fourth Master's chopsticks were reaching for the sweet-scented osmanthus fish, Ye Xue started to cook the hot pot. She put the vegetables and mushrooms in first, and then added sliced ​​beef and mutton.After Si Ye had a bite of sweet-scented osmanthus fish, he quickly put down his chopsticks, poured a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and drank it. After the hot pot boiled, Si Ye picked up the chopsticks again, but Ye Xue found out that Si Ye ate vegetables , although the beef and mutton slices were also caught, they were put in her bowl.

Ye Xue guessed that Fourth Master probably ate too much meat dishes at noon, so she wanted to eat some vegetables for a change, but it didn't matter, she liked to eat these thin slices of meat, which were delicious when dipped in sauce.

Fourth Master put down his chopsticks a long time ago, admiring Ye Xue's "heroic appearance" in eating vegetables while drinking, her appetite seems to be good today, most of the dishes on the table were taken care of by her, especially the sliced ​​beef and mutton in the hot pot. Eat it, and nothing is wasted.

"Your little stomach eats so hard, can you still eat dumplings later?"

Fourth Master smiled and poured Ye Xue a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and decided to implement his plan. After all, the dumplings looked too real, and he was a little uncertain.You can eat less of other dishes, if you only eat one bite of this dumpling, he is afraid that Ye Xue will think too much.

The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wine was very weak. Ye Xue took a sip and rubbed her stomach. She felt that it was okay, so she nodded: "I should be able to eat it. When I was making dumplings just now, I didn't know what flavor I like to eat. , so I made ten different fillings. By the way, fourth master, don’t you have any appetite tonight? See, you didn’t move your chopsticks much.”

Ye Xue found that the fourth master today is different from the past. He eats very little food and drinks all the time. Is it because he has no appetite, or is there some other reason?After all, he has never done this since she cooked for him.

"I ate too greasy at noon, so I don't have much appetite. I probably ate too much in the past two days and I'm not hungry. Come and have a drink with my grandfather. This sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing is a bit sweet, you should drink it?"

Fourth master was afraid that Ye Xue would find out the fact that he had already eaten, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Ye Xue to drink.Anyway, Ye Xue can only drink in one glass, after two glasses, she will definitely not know where she is, and then she won't be thinking about dumplings with ten kinds of fillings.

Fourth master had a good plan in his heart, but after Ye Xue had two cups of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, he still didn't fall down. This made fourth master a little puzzled. Could it be that sweet-scented osmanthus wine is not so easy to get drunk?

But when Ye Xue stood up, the fourth master found that she was still a little dizzy, but although the sweet-scented osmanthus brewing had an effect, Ye Xue also started making dumplings, and the twenty dumplings quickly rolled up in the hot pot, making four Grandpa is a little stressed.

"What kind of stuffing does Fourth Master want to eat? Or should we try all of them? Each of us has half of the twenty dumplings?"

The degree of sweet-scented osmanthus brewing was not high, Ye Xue felt that she was quite awake, but her face was a little hot.Since fourth master doesn't want to eat greasy food, let's cook dumplings and eat them. He won't be unable to eat ten of them, right?He could swallow the dumplings she made in one bite.

"Then half of each person..."

The fourth master looked at Ye Xueqi's eyes, and was really embarrassed to say that he couldn't eat any of them. He handed over his own bowl and Ye Xue's bowl. Soon, the two small bowls were filled with dumplings. Bai Liang Bright exudes fragrance.Ye Xue poured the prepared dumpling dipping sauce into a small dish, and brought them together in front of Fourth Master, making Fourth Master feel as if he was being forced to go to Liangshan.
