Under Murong Shu's guidance, a sheep was quickly cut into pieces. Erzhu felt that his young lady was amazing. He cut the sheep according to her instructions, very smoothly and perfectly avoiding the bones.
Murong Shu also taught the kitchen staff how to slice beef and how to cut fat and lean lamb skewers, so that they don't have to cut it themselves when they want to eat it.
After the mutton and beef were cut, Murong Shu had people sprinkle salt and the medicinal herbs ground by Rong Yunnan on them and marinate them.
"Shu'er, can these herbs be used like this?" Rong Yunnan was extremely surprised.
"Uncle Yunnan, are you curious? In fact, many medicinal herbs can be used for cooking besides curing diseases." Murong Shu saw Rong Yunnan's surprise and explained to him.
"Shu'er is really knowledgeable. This is the first time I know that medicinal herbs can be used to cook." Ever since Murong Shu helped him cure his asthma, Rong Yunnan has trusted Murong Shu very much.
"I also saw it in a medical book, and tried it myself. I found no side effects, so I dared to share it with everyone." Murong Shu silently added in his heart that China has thousands of years of civilization and has never lost in food, so he borrowed it.
"Dad, Second Uncle, Big Brother, wash the bamboo sticks you made and boil them in water so that they will be safe when you use them later."
After Murong Shu marinated the meat, he called the people who had just made the bamboo sticks to wash and boil them.
"Shu'er, are these enough? If not, let's continue." Mousse was worried that it was not enough, so he asked his little niece for her opinion.
"Uncle should be almost done. Dad, you and big brother go wash the bamboo sticks. Uncle, you and Master Wen go with me to get the things." Because there were children and elderly people around, Murong Shu also planned to make some small cakes.
"We will all follow Shu'er's arrangements." Master Wen also nodded. Although he had not done as well as Mousse before, maybe he would do better than Mousse next time.
"Xiao Tao, take your second brother to get a basket of eggs from the kitchen, and we'll start making cakes." Seeing that his second uncle and Master Wen were in high spirits, Murong Shu wanted to let them act as automatic egg beaters.
Originally, Murong Shu was going to assign this job to his father and elder brother. After all, they had plenty of strength from practicing martial arts. However, his second uncle and Master Wen were also restless, so he just assigned them the job.
After Xiaotao and Erzhu brought the eggs, Murong Shu asked the kitchen staff to help put the egg whites and egg yolks in different containers.
"Shu'er, why do they have to be put separately? Aren't we going to eat them together?" It was the first time Mousse saw eggs being prepared in this way, so she was very curious.
"Uncle, the reason for separating them is that they have different functions. Now you and Master Wen each have one portion. Keep stirring in one direction like I did until the egg whites turn white."
Murong Shu poured the egg white liquid into two containers and handed them to his second uncle and Wen Ye respectively. He also demonstrated it himself a few times.
"Ms. Mu, can this really turn white?" Wen Ye was not curious, he really didn't know.
"As long as Master Wen works hard, he will succeed. Now it's up to you and my uncle. Whether we can eat delicious cakes today depends on you."
"Don't worry, Shu'er, Second Uncle will definitely be able to do it. I will supervise Second Master Wen."
"Who asked you to supervise? I will definitely finish it before you."
"Master Wen, you were not as good as me at making bamboo sticks just now. Let's compete and see who is afraid of who."
So the two unconvinced men began a new round of competition.
Murong Shu looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly, then took Xiao Tao and Er Zhu to find his father and elder brother.
"Shu'er, daddy and I have boiled and dried these bamboo sticks. Is there anything else we can help with?" Mu Sishu was very happy today. The tasks assigned by his sister were very interesting.
"Of course we are going to skewer the meat together now. Erzhu, go find someone to go to the pond at the back and catch some fish. Send them to the kitchen after they have been cleaned." Murong Shu suddenly felt like grilling fish.
"Got it, miss." Erzhu received the assignment from his mistress and hurried to find someone to help with fishing. From today on, he was the mistress's man and had to put her first in everything.
Murong Shu brought out the skewers of meat that had just been marinated and personally demonstrated how to skewer them. He then left Xiao Tao, General Mu and Mu Sishu to skewer the meat while he went to see how the seasoning was ground.
Rong Yunnan, Song Yanran and Liu Ruyan were working very hard and quickly. When Murong Shu came to see them, they were almost done. Murong Shu thought it was enough and asked them to stop.
Originally, I wanted to let them rest for a while, but several of them couldn't sit still and ran to help skewer the meat. Murong Shu ignored them and went to the small kitchen in her yard to prepare the ingredients for making the cake.
Wen Jing is here.
Several young masters from the Mu family and the Song family gathered around Wen Jing. Wen Jing explained to them while painting. They benefited a lot from it. It was easier for them to understand than what their teacher said. He was worthy of being the top scholar in the imperial examination.
At the same time, he sighed in his heart, "It would be a waste of talent if Mr. Wen didn't pursue a career in politics!"
After Murong Shu had prepared everything, he asked someone to call his mother, second aunt and grandmother. He was afraid that his grandmother would be unwilling to come out due to her old age, so he asked someone to ask for their opinions.
As a result, when the old lady heard that her granddaughter had prepared fresh food and her eldest son, second son and grandchildren were helping, she decided to go and see, so she invited Rong's mother to go to Guiningyuan to take a look.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Song had been hearing their daughter nagging since yesterday, and they insisted on going to see it today. In the end, everyone went to Guiningyuan.
Although he knew that his daughter was doing something with others, he never expected that she did it in such a formal manner. Although they often attended banquets, this banquet, although with few people, was lively and full of the atmosphere of fireworks.
Before they arrived, the lamb skewers, beef skewers, roasted suckling pig and roasted fish had already started to be grilled, and they could smell the fragrance from a distance.
"Weier, Shuer, what did they do? Why does it smell so good?" It's really not that my aunt is ignorant. If you sprinkle barbecue seasoning on the skewers, anyone who smells it will be confused.
"Sister-in-law, you are here too. I sent someone to ask mother, and she wanted to come and see me. I was worried about her health, but now it seems that she is wise. She smells so good. If she hadn't come, I would not have been able to sleep tonight."
Rong Qing went to the old lady's yard in person to pick up his mother-in-law and his own mother. On the way, he happened to meet his eldest sister-in-law and her group. After they greeted each other, they continued walking forward. No one wanted to delay as it smelled so good.
When I got closer, I saw a group of people surrounding Murong Shu. Murong Shu was teaching everyone how to roast these things. Every time Murong Shu sprinkled seasoning, the little dumpling swallowed his saliva, which made Murong Shu want to laugh.
The situation of everyone else was not much better. Murong Shu quickened his pace, thinking that he would teach everyone first. Later, it would be enough to put a grill and a small hot pot on each table.
