Chapter 57: Fourth Master: Hmm, it smells so good!
The Fourth Master looked at the tea bowl she put down, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Wenjiu is going to make fried chicken legs, chicken nuggets and French fries for the Fourth Master today.
The truth is...she wants to eat.
Her current status was indeed inconvenient. The daily food supply at the mansion was fixed. Although the kitchen was taking care of her a little, she couldn't really treat her like a family member and bother them. The debt of favor was the hardest to repay.
But with the Fourth Master, you don’t have to worry so much.
The people in the kitchen had already prepared all the ingredients according to Wenjiu's list, and even sent two chefs to follow and let Wenjiu command them.
Wenjiu pretended not to see the two chefs' furtive glances, rolled up his sleeves, coated the cooked chicken with egg liquid, sprinkled it with some steamed bun crumbs, and fried it in a pan.
The portions were not large and they were fried quickly. In a short while, Wenjiu had fried all the chicken legs, chicken nuggets and potato strips.
Turn to low heat and fry them separately again. She likes them to be cooked a little longer, so fry them for a little longer.
In her free time, she was not idle, using some cumin powder, pepper powder, fennel powder, salt, black sesame seeds, etc. to prepare a dry dipping sauce.
As soon as the chicken legs are out of the pan, sprinkle the seasoning evenly on them.
The aroma of the chicken is extremely tempting. Once the seasoning is sprinkled on it, the fragrance is half more, and the pepper and salt chicken legs are ready.
Drain the oil in the pot, leaving a little for making the sauce, add sugar, honey, and soy sauce, and cook until it becomes thick. Put the chicken pieces in and evenly coat them with a layer of sauce. This is the amber chicken piece.
The potato strips were also put into the pot, and Wenjiu ran to the Fourth Master with his two plates of snacks.
"Master, try it quickly." He picked up a chicken leg and put it to the Fourth Master's mouth.
The Fourth Master had a frown on his face. He kept staring at her busy work of warming the wine and moving between the spatulas, never taking a break.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone cook. It’s so troublesome, but they only make two small plates of food?
Perhaps it was because the chicken nuggets were too tempting, or because Wen Jiu's smile was too sickening, but he somehow opened his mouth and took a bite.
The chicken leg was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The spicy flavor wrapped in the unique aroma of chicken bloomed in the mouth, and the Fourth Master took another bite without realizing it.
"Master, is it hot?"
"It's okay," the Fourth Master gasped in shock from the heat, but he still couldn't help but take one bite after another.
Wen Jiu picked up the wine and sipped it himself. With the Fourth Master testing the temperature in front of him, he took small sips of the wine.
Well, it tastes good, but it lacks chili powder. There's nothing I can do about it. I've been drinking Wenjiu for so long and haven't seen any chili peppers.
She ate slowly and hadn't finished one yet.
The Fourth Master had already finished four or five of them, and there was only one chicken leg left on the plate.
Wenjiu blinked twice, stuffed the chicken leg in his hand into his mouth, and immediately reached out to grab the last one.
But it was too late, it had already been snatched away by the Fourth Master.
Seeing Wen Jiu staring at her eagerly, the Fourth Master slowly put the wine into his mouth under her gaze, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Hmm, this tastes good."
Warming wine: "......"
Childish devil!
She had no choice but to reach out and eat the amber chicken nuggets on another plate.
On the way, he turned around and ordered, "Chefs, help me take out the potato strips. Don't burn them. Just sprinkle some of the dipping sauce you usually use on them."
Everyone was shocked by the scene of Wenjiu and the Fourth Master fighting over the food. They came back to their senses after hearing these words and were all surprised.
Speaking of which, Wenjiu was also born a servant, how dare he eat from the same plate with his master?
This...according to the rules, neither the wife nor the concubine is allowed to do this!
Chef Huang, who was standing by the pot, responded immediately and went to the front to pick up the colander.
Although I had never seen this Miss Wen's cooking method before, she was very skillful and looked like an expert. I was very puzzled for a moment.
Sun Dazhi, who was standing next to him, came over to help: "What is Chef Huang thinking about?"
The charcoal fire was far away, so the two of them spoke in low voices and were not afraid of being heard by others.
Chef Huang: "This Miss Wen, I never knew she could do this..."
Sun Dazhi smiled and said, "Master Chef, you don't know that Miss Wen has an uncle who is still on duty in the imperial kitchen in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Chef Huang's face finally showed some understanding. "Thanks to my brother for reminding me. Actually, we have learned a lot today."
Sun Dazhi also nodded. He always felt that Miss Wen had quite unique insights into cooking. Last time she told him a method, and when he used it later, it really worked. This was also the reason why he became friends with her.
On this side, he was eating the warm wine chicken nuggets with gusto.
She and the Fourth Master ate a whole plate of chicken legs in one breath, and when they were eating the chicken nuggets, they slowed down.
The Fourth Master was actually full, but he couldn't put down his chopsticks for a moment as he watched Wen Jiu enjoying his meal.
It's been years since I last spent time with someone, and it feels pretty good.
Wenjiu was in a good mood, especially when he saw the heart appearing on Fourth Master's head.
She secretly thought that she seemed to have found a way to earn love.
"Fourth brother, what are you eating? Leave some for me!"
Fourteenth had already been hooked by the smell and took advantage of the guards changing arrows to yell at Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master had excellent eyesight. He could even see Fourteen swallowing his saliva clearly. He unconsciously took another big bite and said, "Mmm, it smells so good!"
Seeing that the Fourth Master ignored him, Fourteenth dropped his bow and ran over here.
However, after running two steps, he was carried back by the two silent brothers.
He continued his miserable career of shooting arrows.
Even from such a distance, Wen Jiu could still hear the Fourteenth Master shooting arrows while muttering through gritted teeth: "Stinky Fourth Brother, bad Fourth Brother! I will defeat you one day!"
Wen Jiu felt sympathy for Fourteenth in her heart. After all, she had also been tortured by the Fourth Master in the past.
However, regarding the Fourteenth Master's desire to defeat the Fourth Master, Wenjiu can only help him light a candle. There is no hope for him in this life. You can only hope that you don't die in his hands in the end.
After a while, Chef Huang brought over the potato strips. He was also smart and followed the method he had used to prepare the wine, preparing a dry dipping sauce and a sweet and sour sauce.
Wen Jiu looked at the evenly arranged potato strips and sauce and gave a thumbs up: "The chef is amazing."
Chef Huang didn't expect Wen Jiu to praise him. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately replied, "Thank you for the compliment, young lady. I'm not even one ten-thousandth as good as you!"
The Fourth Master glanced at Fourteenth calmly, then glanced at the warm wine. His mood suddenly brightened. "That's really good. Anyone who has served me today will be rewarded with a month's salary. This includes those who have remained silent."
The servants around were stunned for a moment, and then immediately knelt down happily and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Chef Huang glanced at Wen Jiu deeply. He had to accept this favor. The reward was small, but he had shown his face in front of the master. If the master remembered a thing or two, how could his future be bad?
Moreover, he saw how this girl behaved in front of Lord Beile today, and he was afraid that Lord Beile would continue to favor her for some time. In the future, the tributes from Qingliang Pavilion would be indispensable.
