Life is a Game

Qin Guisheng was dragged into the kitchen by Cao Guixiang, Qin Guisheng screamed exaggeratedly along the way, and the rest of the people saw it with a familiar expression.

"Master, the second brother was cleaning the table on the second floor just now." Cao Guixiang covered Qin Guisheng.

"How can he be so diligent?" Cao Guixiang's master obviously didn't believe the nonsense of their brothers and sisters. "You are lazy, you can lie down and never stand up. Sooner or later, I will find someone to cure you. Come here, I have been stealing for so long." You and your junior sister have gone to deal with the honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, Sophora japonica, Pueraria japonica and kapok."

"Didn't Manager Zhang say to deliver herbal tea tomorrow?" Qin Guisheng asked.

"My uncle and grandpa from far away are sick. I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to see him. I don't have time. I boiled the herbal tea today and put it aside. It happens to be hot today, so you can drink two cups of herbal tea to relieve the heat." Master Cao Guixiang said, He raised his head and said to another middle-aged chef who was some distance away from him, "Master Wang, I will trouble you tomorrow."

"No trouble, no trouble." Master Wang said heartily and continued to chop vegetables.

Master Cao Guixiang is slicing ham very slowly and carefully. Each slice is the same size, and the sliced ​​ham is so thin that it seems that light can pass through. In addition, the quality of the ham was excellent, and one could tell it was the top-quality Jinhua ham at a glance. Jiang Feng could imagine the melt-in-your-mouth taste of the ham sliced ​​by Master Cao Guixiang.

Master Cao Guixiang concentrated on slicing ham and didn't care whether Qin Guisheng was lazy or not. When Qin Guisheng got the task, he obediently went to do it and searched for materials with Cao Guixiang.

The herbal tea made from honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, Sophora japonica, kudzu flower and kapok is naturally Wuhua tea.

Five-flower tea is one of the herbal teas that people in Guangdong Province often drink. When Jiang Feng was in elementary school, Jiang Weiguo would make herbal tea when he was in school. Because Grandma Jiang likes to drink fruit tea, the old man usually makes watermelon rind herbal tea, orange tea, or fruity tea for appetizers.

There was only one summer, because it was so hot that even a thin man like Jiang Feng could sweat all over while sitting in the house without doing anything. In order to get rid of the fire in the heart and clear the heat in the liver, the old man made Wuhua tea.

In the hot summer, drinking a cup of herbal tea that can clear away heat and relieve fire is more effective than eating 100 slices of iced watermelon.

It's just that the five-flower tea that the old man cooks uses frangipani flowers instead of kudzu flowers. The reason is very simple, kudzu flowers are too expensive.

When Jiang Feng saw Qin Guisheng and Cao Guixiang grab a handful of fine kudzu flowers from the bag, he immediately felt the air was filled with the smell of wealth.

What kind of family conditions does this have to use such a high-quality kudzu flower to make five-flower tea, and it is still used as a gift.

Making herbal tea is actually very simple. Soak the five-flower tea in water, put it in a soup pot, boil it on high heat, then turn to low heat and cook slowly.

While cleaning the Sophora japonica flowers, Qin Guisheng chatted with Cao Guixiang: "I think it's best to add some Luo Han Guo and some brown sugar to make five-flower tea, so that it will have a bit of flavor."

"You can add it if you want. Master doesn't care what you add, as long as the final product is good." Cao Guixiang said.

While Qin Guisheng was handling the ingredients for five-flower tea, he tilted his head to see what his master was doing. Looking at it, he saw what his elder brother was burning.

It's black ginseng, and his elder brother is burning the black ginseng to burn its skin.

"My darling, who came to eat at noon today, and even ordered black ginseng." Qin Guisheng exclaimed, "How rich is this?"

"It's not good to have money. You can't learn if others don't ask for your master or do it." Cao Guixiang continued to do what she was doing.

Jiang Feng no longer had time to pay attention to what Cao Guixiang and Qin Guisheng were doing. Now he wished that he could learn the technique of shadow clone, or grow a pair of eyes, so that he could watch Master Cao Guixiang slice ham with one pair of eyes, and watch Cao Guixiang's elder brother handle black ginseng with one pair of eyes.

Whether it's grilled big black ginseng or sunflower duck, they are all extremely difficult banquet dishes in Tan's cuisine.

Since the game was updated, old bugs were fixed and new bugs appeared. Previously, the memory could be checked repeatedly, but now the memory can only be checked repeatedly for that section of the recipe. If these dishes were not in the recipe, Jiang Feng could only look at this one time.

After cooking the black ginseng, Cao Guixiang's elder brother scraped off the scorched skin, then cut a small hole in the black ginseng with a knife to remove the internal organs.

After Master Cao Guixiang finished slicing the ham, he went to the steamer and took out the steamed duck, quickly deboned it, and sliced ​​the duck obliquely.

"Master, the black ginseng has been dealt with." The elder brother said.

"Put it in the pot and cook it, Guixiang, go and help your senior brother." Master Cao Guixiang said.

"Okay." Cao Guixiang washed and dried her hands excitedly, and resolutely left Qin Guisheng to help the elder brother.

Participating in making such a difficult dish is more useful than watching Master cook it 100 times.

"Guixiang, cut up the onion and ginger first." The elder brother said.

Cao Guixiang went to chop the onion and ginger, and the eldest brother began to put bamboo chopsticks in the enamel pot, then put the bamboo curtain, then put the processed water-fat black ginseng on the bamboo curtain, and then covered it with a bamboo curtain.

At this time, Cao Guixiang had already cut the green onion and ginger, and the two of them put the old hen, Jinhua ham, scallops and chopped green onion and ginger into the enamel pot one by one, filled it with water, covered it, and put it on the stove. Bring to a boil.

After the pot is opened, turn to a low heat and continue to cook slowly.

Master Cao Guixiang only took a look from the side, and said: "The fire is too hot, let's turn it down a bit."

The big brother turned the fire down a little bit.

Only then did Master Cao Guixiang nod his head. At this time, he had already sliced ​​the duck, mushroom and ham, all of the same size and thickness.

However, the step of steaming in the pot may have to wait for several hours.

Seeing the master stopped, Qin Guisheng approached with a smile and asked, "Master, who is the guest at noon today? They ordered so many delicious dishes."

Master Cao Guixiang looked serious, and scolded: "It's none of your business who the guests are, we are cooks, just do what we should do, why ask so many people."

"Why don't I ask? It's not a festival, is someone going to marry a daughter or get married?" Qin Guisheng was used to being scolded by his master, and his expression didn't change and his heart skipped a beat.

When Qin Guisheng asked such a question, Cao Guixiang and the elder brother also wanted to know, and looked at their master in unison.

"It's Manager Yin from the silk and satin shop next door." Master Cao Guixiang said, "Her daughter is going to get married in a few years, and she wants to ask a carpenter to make a bed for her daughter. Today's meal at noon is her invitation." of gold carpenters and gold carpenters' apprentices."

"Thousand-work bed?! Manager Yin is really rich, how much does it cost to make a thousand-work bed!" Qin Guisheng was amazed.

"Of course Manager Yin is rich. She came from Jiangnan. I heard that her father used to be a very famous silk merchant in Jiangnan. Her dowry was Qiangongbed when she got married, and she hired the best one there. Master, I heard that several small yellow croakers were spent." Master Wang also has a heart for gossip.

"Several small yellow croakers?!" The other chef was shocked.

"It's not that exaggerated. Whether it's the bed or the money, I think it's mostly rumors." Qin Guisheng said that it was impossible, and poverty limited his imagination.

"Who knows? We have never slept in such an expensive bed." Master Wang shook his head.

Cao Guixiang's focus was different: "Who is Carpenter Jin?"

"The cabinet on the second floor of our shop was made by a gold carpenter." The elder brother explained, "I came here to repair the handrails of the stairs last month, but you probably didn't see them in the kitchen at that time."

"By the way, master, the cabinet on the second floor is broken again. Since Carpenter Jin is here today, why don't you just ask him to fix it together?" said the elder brother.

"Manager Zhang has already found a gold carpenter, and he will come to repair it tomorrow." Master Cao Guixiang said.
