Chapter 044 Show cooking skills
Yang Mengqi, who was restless, took the initiative to approach his father-in-law and stretched out his slender and white left hand to touch his forehead. She touched Lin Zimo's forehead, touched her forehead again, and repeated it twice in turn, but did not feel that he had a fever. He was not sick in the first place, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Although he knew that this was his wife's concern, he still felt a little funny.
Lin Zimo, who stood up slowly, made up his mind and said, "Later, I will cook for you and Chu girl in person."
He didn't wait for Yang Mengqi to reply. He turned around and walked out. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she always felt strange, so she couldn't rest assured. She called for Caiyue outside the room and accompanied herself to her kitchen. The cooks, the ladies, and the stewer saw that the two masters in the house had come to the kitchen, and immediately became energetic.
Lin Zimo picked up an apron from the side, put it on without hurry, and then slowly rolled up his sleeves. All the people present were stunned when they saw the master's move. They never dreamed that the master of the magistrate would cook and cook in person.
I didn't have the courage to choose to go directly to the kitchen stewor next to Lin Zimo, approached Yang Mengqi, nodded and bowed with a smile, "Of course, you don't have to bother the master to come in person, just let me wait."
I have seen Yang Mengqi, who has seen his father-in-law pick up the cooking spoon, and know that his heart is difficult to change. It is not convenient to persuade him more in front of the people: "Since the master has Yaxing, you just need to do it for him."
The kitchen stewmer who received the " superior's instructions" did not command others to work as usual, but came to work for Lin Zimo in person. Others did not dare to neglect and did their respective duties step by step. Seeing that Lin Zimo was almost burned in the pot, he used the stir-fry spoon in his right hand to scoop more than half a spoon of vegetable oil in the nearby jar and slowly poured it into the pot. Based on the local materials, he planned to stir-fry two self-pronical dishes for his woman to taste, so he ordered his maidservants to bring the ingredients he needed. Braised pork and diving fish are the works he wants to present for Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu.
The freshman Yang Mengqi standing next to him is strange. In her memory, her father-in-law has never been to the kitchen, and there is a good way to cook. Yang Mengqi, who flashed with an idea, believed that he had lived alone for a long time before he married into the Lin family, so it was logical to cook. After all, he always needed to fill his stomach every day.
Lin Zimo, who suddenly turned around, said with concern, "There is a lot of oil smoke here. I'd better go back to the house first. Soon, we will be able to have dinner. The braised pork cooked for my husband is not necessarily worse than that made by my wife.
Seeing him cooking is a kind of enjoyment Yang Mengqi. He will not leave because of the smell of choking oil smoke. He smiled and said, "I feel very happy that the slave family is here to accompany my father-in-law. You don't have to worry about me."
Lin Zimo, who could see her happy expression, didn't say much. He turned his head again to face the iron pot and continued to show his cooking skills. In a short time, the pot exudes the fragrance of the dishes. Many people suspect that the master is just for fun, and they must be slaves and maidservants who will stir-fry the dishes, and instantly dispel their unrealistic conjectures. After all, the taste in the room can prove everything.
In about a quarter of an hour, Lin Zimo made all his two dishes. After pulling off his apron, he slowly put down his sleeves and walked towards his wife who had been accompanying him. He personally helped her turn around and go back to the room. Chu Hanlu, who had been waiting for dinner for a long time, saw the two coming in and knew that dinner was coming soon, so he couldn't help smiling. She saw that Lin Zimo and Yang Mengqi sat down first, and then walked slowly to the table and sat down.
Caiyue ordered the slaves in the house to be served, and the first two dishes placed on the table were braised pork and diving fish cooked by the master himself. Lin Zimo, who picked up the chopsticks, personally picked up a piece of braised pork and put it directly into the bowl in front of Yang Mengqi, and then peeled off a piece of fish belly and put it into Chu Hanlu's bowl. Yang Mengqi, who knew the whole production process, was so moved that he couldn't stop crying in his eyes. As usual, Chu Hanlu picked up the fish in the bowl and put it into his mouth.
Chu Hanlu, who was born delicious, immediately tasted differently from the past and couldn't help asking, "Have we changed the cook?"
Lin Zimo, who wanted to know her evaluation of her craftsmanship, asked with great interest, "What do you think of this fish?"
He slowly swallowed Chu Hanlu and said truthfully, "It tastes okay, but it's not as delicious as usual. I still like the fish made by Li's sister-in-law, so I suggest that it's better not to make fish by him.
Yang Mengqi, who picked up the braised pork and put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, gave birth to a feeling that his heart had been melted and said, "This braised pork is authentic. I'm afraid it can't compare with the best imperial chef in the palace."
Chu Hanlu, who moved quickly, heard her sister's boast, so she couldn't help running directly to the braised pork on the plate with the chopsticks in her right hand. Pick up a small piece of fat and thin meat and put it in his mouth and chew it.
Chu Hanlu, who chewed two bites, could best distinguish the taste of it. He pouted and said, "Sister, you are lying. The taste of braised pork is obviously not as good as what you made. It seems that diving fish and braised pork are made by one person.
"Little girl, you are a master who can eat." Lin Zimo, who didn't mind her derogatory evaluation at all, smiled and said, "My craftsmanship still needs to be improved, otherwise I will be buried to death by you, a good cook."
'Ah, Chu Hanlu stared at the boss. He raised his head in disbelief, stared at him sitting beside him, pondered for a moment, and pouted and said, "Brother Zimo, you must have lied to others. If you can cook, I will be an official. If you make these two dishes yourself, then I will eat all the dishes on the whole table.
Lin Zimo, who still smiled, said proudly, "I'd like to see if our greedy ghost really has such a big appetite to eat up this table of food. If you can't finish it, I'll order someone to pour it down for you.
Chu Hanlu, who saw a little clue, still didn't believe what he said and said, "Don't scare me. Anyway, people will not believe that you made these two dishes. Brother Zimo, if you can find enough evidence to convince me, then I will believe what you said, or you are lying to me.
Lin Zimo, who made a bright laugh, turned his eyes to Yang Mengqi and Cai Yue respectively. He said slowly, "Our Chu girl wants me to find a witness, so as a witness, you should not be silent anymore."
Yang Mengqi, with a smile on his face, smiled sweetly and said, "The two dishes you just ate were really cooked by our father-in-law."
"Second lady, braised pork and diving fish are made by the master himself." Standing not far away, Caiyue said word by word.
Chu Hanlu shook his head like a rattle drum, but he still couldn't believe it. In his heart, he still suspected that they were united to fool himself. She seemed to be a little hard-mouthed, and she ate another bite of fish and braised pork. Although these two dishes are not as good as the cooks at home, they are full. I know that this can't be done on a whim, but it takes a period of practice to do it. In her memory, her son Mo can read and be an official. As for cooking, she couldn't believe it. After all, she had never seen him cook and cook by himself.
Lin Zimo, who picked up the glass in front of the table, drank a cup and laughed, "Why, you still don't believe that this is made for your husband?"
He clicked on Chu Hanlu on his head and said bluntly, "You will never do it. I guess you just did it casually, and the rest of the things are all in the hands of a dummy. You are the head of the family. Not only do Cai Yue and others have to listen to your orders, but also your sister has to listen to what you say. If you say yes, naturally they can only follow you.
Lin Zimo, who touched her little head, did not blame her and thought it was funny and said, "Little guy, you are a eloquent sophistry."
"Dead girl, look at what you said about our father-in-law." Yang Mengqi, who stared at her with no malice, smiled and said, "We have no reason to lie to you. You'd better not eat those two dishes and leave them all to me.
Yang Mengqi, who has long had a feeling of "wine is not drunk, people are drunk" has long ago. He picked up his chopsticks and ran to the diving fish on the plate. The love of my father-in-law cooking is more important than everything. Even if these two dishes are unpalatable, she will eat them all. What's more, the taste of the two dishes is still remarkable, and I don't feel like eating poison.
Lin Zimo, who was in a good mood, tasted the delicious food made by himself with Yang Mengqi. Although it has not been done for a while, the quality of the dishes can guarantee 80% of the past, and I feel quite satisfied. Chu Hanlu, sitting next to him, tasted the dishes all over the table. At the same time, she saw that Yang Mengqi only cared about eating braised pork and diving fish, and disdained other dishes, and faintly began to believe Lin Zimo's words.
Yang Mengqi, who noticed the hesitation on her face, paused and smiled, "If you don't eat it again, I will eat it all for you. The dishes cooked by our father-in-law are not something you can eat if you want.
Knowing the rare opportunity, Chu Hanlu giggled at the two of them and did not hesitate to move his chopsticks and said, "Since it is Zimo's craft, they have to reward him with this face!"
