He then went to prepare food for Mr. Jiang in the evening.
In the evening, Qiu Wei carried a tray and took Mrs. Ye to Mr. Jiang's yard.
"Master, Madam You has prepared dinner, please try it."
As she spoke, she placed the chrysanthemum shrimp cakes, chrysanthemum shredded pears and chrysanthemum fish porridge on the table in front of Mr. Jiang.
The first thing Mr. Jiang paid attention to was the color and appearance of the dishes.
Chrysanthemum shrimp cakes are made by chopping shrimp into a paste, shaping them into small round cakes, and then pressing a whole chrysanthemum on top.
After being fried in the pan, the shrimp cakes turn pink with a golden chrysanthemum blooming on them.
The round shrimp cakes are arranged in a circle on the plate, with a flower-shaped glass cup in the middle holding the dipping sauce.
Although I don’t know how it tastes, just judging from its appearance, it has already passed the test of Mr. Jiang.
The cold dish on the side was made of pears cut into thin strips and mixed with golden chrysanthemum petals. A few red chili strips were sprinkled on top, which looked particularly refreshing.
The last dish is a bowl of chrysanthemum fish fillet porridge. The white porridge is filled with tender fish fillets, and petals are dotted in it, which is really mouth-watering.
Mr. Jiang first picked up a piece of chrysanthemum shrimp cake and took a bite to savor it carefully.
The shrimp cakes are chewy and springy, without any fishy smell. They taste fresh and you can also smell the faint fragrance of chrysanthemum petals.
He dipped the shrimp cake in the sauce for the second bite and stuffed the remaining half into his mouth.
The dipping sauce has a sour, spicy and refreshing flavor, which is particularly stimulating to the taste buds and instantly whets the appetite.
Before Mr. Jiang swallowed the shrimp cake in his mouth, he raised his hand and gave Mrs. Ye a thumbs up.
After successfully finishing the first dish, Mr. Jiang picked up another piece of shredded pear with chrysanthemums.
The tongue, which had just been irritated by the previous dish, was immediately soothed by the sweetness and freshness of this dish.
This dish didn't even seem to have any seasoning, but the flavor was just right.
After tasting both dishes, Mr. Jiang finally picked up the spoon and gently stirred the fish porridge in the bowl. Then he scooped up a piece of fish, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.
The fish fillets are boneless, taste sweet and smooth.
But when you bite it, you can still feel the firmness and slight elasticity of the fresh fish meat.
The rice at the bottom of the porridge still looks distinct, but when you eat it you will find that it has already been cooked soft and melts in your mouth.
The rich aroma of rice mixed with the sweetness of fish and the fragrance of chrysanthemums is exactly what Mr. Jiang, who has begun to pursue health preservation, likes.
So after he took one bite, he couldn't stop.
After eating more than half a bowl of porridge, Mr. Jiang slowed down his eating speed and said to Mrs. Ye, "Madam You, your cooking skills are really amazing. I am looking forward to tomorrow's chrysanthemum hotpot. I believe you will not let me down."
"Don't worry, sir. The broth is already boiling. I'm sure you'll have chrysanthemum hotpot for lunch tomorrow."
After coming out of Mr. Jiang's courtyard, Qiu Wei was already full of admiration for Mrs. Ye.
"Madam You, you are so talented. How come you cook so well?"
"My father used to be a chef in the capital, but later on, for some reason, the whole family moved to the border areas. I learned all my cooking skills from him."
"So he used to be a chef in the capital. No wonder he's so good."
However, the profession of chef is one that becomes more popular as people get older.
Seeing that Mrs. Ye’s cooking skills are so good, her father must be no worse.
Instead of staying in the capital to make money, recruit disciples and enjoy his retirement, he took his whole family to a remote place outside the Great Wall. It must be because he accidentally offended someone he couldn't afford to offend.
So, many people feel that there are opportunities to make money everywhere in Beijing.
As long as you have the ability, you can quickly succeed and make a lot of money.
But in fact, opportunities also hide dangers. If you are not careful, you might offend some dignitary, and then you will lose everything at best, or even your life!
After coming out of Mr. Jiang's yard, Mrs. Ye returned to the kitchen.
There was still some porridge left in the pot, and the best part of the fish was sliced into fillets for Mr. Jiang to eat.
After removing the fish bones from the remaining parts, the meat becomes more minced.
In line with the principle of not wasting anything, Mrs. Ye poured all the minced meat into the porridge, and once it started to boil, she immediately removed the casserole from the fire.
She poured a bowl of porridge for Qiu Wei and said, "Thanks to Miss Qiu Wei's help today, otherwise I would be too busy this afternoon.
"Try this for yourself. The fish is a little broken, so don't be disgusted."
How could Qiu Wei dislike it?
She was almost drooling when she saw Mr. Jiang eating just now.
So what if the fish meat is a little chopped? As a servant, she is not supposed to eat the same thing as the master.
After serving porridge to Qiuwei, there was only a small bowl left in the pot. Mrs. Ye served it out and prepared to take it back to make dinner for Qingtian.
Mrs. Ye went back to deliver dinner to Mr. Ye, while Mrs. Ye San stayed in the kitchen to watch over the fire of the broth.
Qiu Wei picked up some pickles from somewhere and then sat down to drink the porridge.
As soon as she took a mouthful of the fish porridge, her eyes widened instantly.
Porridge can actually taste so good?
No wonder the master was eating without even raising his head!
She couldn't stop eating, one bite after another, and didn't even touch the favorite pickles that she had picked up specially for her.
After tasting the porridge, she felt that eating it with anything else would easily ruin the deliciousness of the porridge.
After eating a bowl of hot and delicious fish porridge, Qiu Wei was completely conquered by Mrs. Ye's cooking skills.
