After being tricked by Xie Yunjiao, Liu Miaohua stayed quiet for a while.
She knew that she would not get anything out of Xie Yunjiao if she asked her in person, so she planned to secretly follow Xie Yunjiao to the town to see what kind of gourds Xie Yunjiao was selling.
But things have been strange these past two days. Xie Yunjiao stays at home every day and no one knows what she is busy with.
She wanted to go over and take a look, but she was afraid that Xie Yunjiao would get the chance to deal with her again.
Xie Yunjiao has indeed been busy these two days. She was busy dealing with the wild boar that Liu Jing brought back.
She took some of the pork and made it into bacon, and some into sausages.
This way the pork can be preserved longer and taste better as it ages.
Doudou stayed at home to help Xie Yunjiao, and did whatever Xie Yunjiao did.
He thought Xie Yunjiao was simply amazing. She could actually butcher a pig. She could separate the pork and the bones very cleanly. Even after the pork was removed, the pig skeleton remained intact!
Not to mention Doudou was shocked, even Gu Huai was shocked!
Those who don’t know would think Xie Yunjiao is a butcher.
Gu Huai's words made Xie Yunjiao smile: "I'm afraid even a butcher might not be as powerful as me."
In order to become a good chef, she underwent a lot of inhuman training.
In order to understand the texture of pigs, cows and sheep, she dissected whole pigs, cows and sheep by herself more than once.
Now that we know their body structure very well, how can we not do it well?
But she didn't expect that after the whole pig was dissected in front of her, the two little pigs were scared to death of her and refused to let her get close to them.
"Mom, Dabao and Xiaobao are afraid of you." Doudou said.
Xie Yunjiao's mouth twitched. Being afraid is normal.
She would also be terrified if someone dissected a member of her own kind completely in front of her.
"Dabao, Xiaobao, Mommy is a good person, she won't hurt you." Doudou comforted the two little pigs.
Xie Yunjiao said in her heart, No, you misunderstood, I will hurt you, but not now!
Of course, she wouldn't say such things in front of her children.
If the two piglets grow well and have babies, she might consider keeping them.
***
After processing the whole wild boar, Xie Yunjiao went to the town to sell sugar-roasted chestnuts for a few days.
She noticed Liu Miaohua was peeking at her, but she didn't mind.
She had no intention of getting rich by selling chestnuts. She came out to buy chestnuts just to use local materials to solve her urgent needs.
Moreover, there is not much technical skill involved in making sugar-roasted chestnuts, and chestnuts are everywhere, so soon people came out to imitate her sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Just like in later generations, you can see a stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts after walking a few steps.
Now she is not the only one selling sugar-roasted chestnuts on the street, but those people are imitating her and dare not sell them in front of her.
Maybe it’s because the taste of her food has a preconceived notion about it, or maybe it’s because her food tastes better that many people still come back to patronize her business.
When Liu Miaohua saw that Xie Yunjiao sold the "pine nuts" that no one in the mountains wanted for a good price, she immediately became jealous. After returning, she also started picking chestnuts in the mountains, intending to learn from Xie Yunjiao to make money by selling sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when Xie Yunjiao went to Yuemanlou to cook.
She came to Yuemanlou early in the morning.
The guys in the kitchen didn't like her very much. No one talked to her at all, as they all thought she would steal their jobs.
"I don't know what the boss was thinking. Why would he let a woman in here? We're all men here. It's so inconvenient."
"That's right."
"All of you shut up. You all know how delicious Miss Xie's fried rice is." Master Zheng said in a sarcastic tone.
Although the fried rice made by Xie Yunjiao tasted good, it did not require much technical skills. He could make the same taste after trying a few times.
He felt that Xie Yunjiao's success in gaining the favor of the customers last time was just a lucky coincidence.
He just didn't believe that Xie Yunjiao could produce amazing works every time.
"That customer has ordered again," the waiter hurried in, "this time he ordered... is..."
The waiter found it difficult to speak.
"Hey, what did the customer order?"
Everyone felt anxious as they saw the waiter hesitant to speak.
"It's water," the waiter sighed, "I've confirmed it with the customer again and again, and he said it's water.
But he said that he didn’t care about anything else, but he had to have water.”
water?
Everyone in the kitchen was confused and bewildered.
Master Zheng glanced at Xie Yunjiao, who was doing nothing, and said, "Xie Yunjiao, you do it."
Everyone's frown relaxed.
Yes, let’s put the blame on Xie Yunjiao.
Isn't she amazing anyway? Let's see what delicious things she can make with water this time.
Xie Yunjiao was thinking about the recipe. Since Master Zheng gave her the task, she naturally took it on.
Seeing Xie Yunjiao catching the water so naturally, Master Zheng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, thinking that it would depend on how Xie Yunjiao played with the water.
But Xie Yunjiao did not cook immediately, but went out for a while.
When she came back, she was holding a lot of strange things in her hands.
She asked the kitchen helper to fetch a bucket of water from the Qingshui River. After she assembled everything she brought back, she poured the water from the Qingshui River into the pot and then lit the fire.
After a while, the water in the pot began to boil.
Master Zheng frowned as he looked at what Xie Yunjiao was tinkering with.
"Is this woman crazy?!"
Everyone knows that although the river outside the city is called Qingshui River, the water in it is dirty and unclear. People in the city would rather drink well water than drink water from the river.
She asked the kitchen helper to bring back a bucket of water from the Qingshui River to cook. If someone bad ate it, he would not be responsible!
"Is there any ice?"
"It's in the cellar, but the key to the cellar is in the hands of the second chef." said the assistant chef.
"Xie Yunjiao, I don't care what you're doing, please stop right now," Master Zheng said unhappily. "Not only are you messing around with this, but you're also using the precious ice from Yue Man Lou. That's simply ridiculous!"
This is the south, and the river may not freeze even when the weather is extremely cold.
The ice in the cellar was brought back from the north by the boss when the weather was cold.
It is used to make ice cream for guests in the summer, not to be wasted.
"Master Zheng, since you've entrusted me with this difficult task, doesn't that mean you trust me?"
Bullshit, he doesn't trust me at all, he just wants to shirk responsibility!
“Also, the boss said that we can make reasonable use of all the ingredients in Yuemanlou during working hours.
I suppose the ice from the cellar is part of the ingredients?"
"Yes, how much do you want?" Master Zheng said through gritted teeth, "Remember to keep a record of it all for me."
When the boss comes to investigate, he will put all the blame on Xie Yunjiao and have nothing to do with him!
