The clerk in the dental shop insisted on adding a little more, but there was no other way, so he pretended to be a rich woman. Master Chen. The real poor people reluctantly added two liang in the end, and finally made the deal.

After paying seventy-five taels of silver, the formalities were completed according to the regulations, and the deeds of prostitution of the six people were obtained.

Chen Nianguan, Xiao You and Si Ya came by carriage, and there were four more people at once, so they couldn't sit down at all, so they had to walk back.

Back on Xianggui Street, everyone was shocked.

I knew that Chen Nianguan was going to buy slaves, but didn't expect her to buy so many at one go. Fortunately, the yard is big enough to accommodate so many people.

Tian Daxiao went to live in the Datong shop where Qi Mu was in charge, and the other women and girls all lived in the same Datong shop in the east wing.

"Cousin, why did you buy so many people?"

"We are going to open a restaurant. Since we are opening a restaurant, we must have a cook who can cook. Otherwise, do you think it will be enough for you and me?"

Liu Yun knew that her cousin was going to open a two-story restaurant, and it was definitely not enough for her and her cousin to cook, so she shook her head.

"From tomorrow, you will start teaching them how to cook."

Chen Nianguan told Liu Yun about everyone's situation, "Then Auntie Tian can help watch the fire and watch the stone mill to make hor fun at home. Others have learned it and will follow you in turns to go out to the stall and exercise."

"Hey, good!" Liu Yun was excited.

Not only do I have a helper when I set up a stall, but I also have to be a master of others!

Chen Nianguan turned his head to look for Liu Qing, but Zhang Erlang was not there, so he could only turn to Liu Qing, a scholar, for drafting a contract!

Today, the talented gentleman also followed Liu Feng to wander around in Capital City to appreciate the local customs and customs. When he came back, he was in the room. Knowing what Chen Nianguan wanted, he nodded his head, expressing his help.

When they were in the tooth shop, these six people knew that the owner Chen bought him to work as a cook. When Chen Nianguan handed them a piece of contract, they were stunned.

After Chen Nianguan explained, they realized that this was a contract from the master.

"In two copies, I have to sign my name and press my handprint." Chen Nianguan reiterated the loyalty signed with them and the clause not to disclose secrets privately, and then said: "It is clearly written on it, you have worked with me for ten years, Ten years later, I will return the contract of sale to you, and at that time, whether you will continue to work with me or find another high-ranking branch is your freedom."

"My lord, you mean that after working for ten years, the servants will be free?" Du Juan and Ding Xiang were both surprised.

When they were sold to the tooth shop, they were all under death contract, not only them, but also everyone else. They had already made plans to be slaves for the rest of their lives. At this time, they suddenly heard from the master that as long as they could work for ten years,Can the slavery be revoked?

"Aren't you literate?" Let's talk about it after seeing it for yourself!

"Sister Du Juan, it's true." After reading the deed, Ding Xiang nodded to Du Juan, and the other four people who rushed over also nodded.

The six new reserve cooks were all excited.

Given a choice, who wants to be a slave?

Seeing their excitement, Chen Nianguan hummed inwardly.

In the end, I still haven't been able to command my servants with peace of mind like A Niang.

But if they are regarded as employees who want to work for him for ten years, then he, Master Chen, can still work.

The value created by the six workers in the past ten years must be much more than the silver taels they bought back. After doing this calculation, I actually made money.

Not bad!

Chen Nianguan, who felt that he had initially completed the back kitchen team of the restaurant, finally found a trace of self-satisfaction as a part-time job leader in the days of depression in finding a shop.

When the contract was withdrawn, he coughed dryly and called Du Juan and Ding Xiang aside: "I remember, you said that your sewing skills are good?"

"Master!"

"Call my boss!"

"My boss is a servant girl. The servant girl is Lilac. The servant girl has been an embroiderer. I dare not say that her sewing skills are the best, but she is also very good."

"Boss, the servants usually do needlework, if you want to do any work, just tell the servants."

Du Juan and Ding Xiang read the contract just now, which stated that they had a monthly salary of one tael of silver, and they were very happy to see how they would increase month by month according to their performance.After canceling their slave status, they even signed a contract to express their sincerity, and their affection for Chen Nianguan reached the maximum immediately, and they immediately rushed to show it.

"very good!"

Chen Nianguan was smiling.

Well, I'm not good at needlework. I originally wanted to ask Si Ya to do this work as well, but Si Ya always followed up with me, and I didn't have so much time to ask her to do something, so I met the two at the tooth shop.The girl said that she knew how to needle and thread, so she was naturally tempted.

From now on, she will also have a dedicated embroiderer, so she will never be afraid of tailoring and mending.

Then, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these six newcomers were handed over to Qimu. Now Qimu is the chief steward in the courtyard. She gives Qimu fifty taels a month for daily expenses, and another fiveTwelve taels for emergencies.

Tao Bo, who was at the other end of the room, heard the movement, and asked for Mrs. Liu and her daughter-in-law: "Master Chen, is it true that Mrs. Liu will not have to come over to take care of laundry from now on?"

"Of course not." Chen Nianguan waved his hand, "They are all the guys in the kitchen, and the work of washing must be done by Mrs. Liu. You tell them that there are too many things to wash, so we will give you more.Some coins."

Tao bo is happy: "Good!"

At the beginning, Tao Bo couldn't figure out who the members of this big family were, but gradually he understood the relationship between everyone. Through getting along with each other these days, Tao Bo could see that although these people had different identities, they couldThey get along well, and that Master Chen is not only a kind-hearted person, but considering that it is cold, there are many laundry clothes, and the wages paid to Mrs. Liu are fair, he is also ambitious.

The mere woman turned out to be the one who wanted to open a restaurant in Capital City!

Hearing what the master here said, Master Cang still prefers to cooperate with her!

This almost surprised Tao bo so much that his eyeballs fell out.

Master Cang?The Cang family's ability to become an imperial merchant depends on Master Cang's ability, so Master Cang is optimistic about Master Chen's ability, can he open a restaurant well?

Since then, Tao Bo has put away a little contempt for Master Chen from the bottom of his heart!

A few days ago, saw with own eyes that the well-known Master Ming Hai in Capital City also came to visit Master Chen in person. The admiration for Master Chen, yes, tsk tsk tsk, like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly!

She said today that the people who bought them are all the kitchen staff, that is to say, Master Chen has already started planning for the opening of the restaurant, right?

Is the store settled?

No wonder Master Cang doesn't show up these days!

Now that people have bought it back, they naturally start training immediately.

When Liu Yun was outside explaining the eight principles of discipline and the three items of attention in the back kitchen of the Chen family restaurant to the new recruits, Chen Nianguan was in the kitchen, what was he doing?

Cook and cook food.

First, show off your skills in front of these newcomers to show your authenticity, and show off your majesty.

Second, send some food to the savior of the Grand Buddhist Temple as a token of appreciation, so that we can connect with each other.

Looking around real estate these days, the clerk at the dental store knew that she was running a restaurant, and enthusiastically told her about the Weishui history of various restaurants in Capital City. Among them, it was mentioned that before last year, Yueman Building and YufenglouThere is also the name of Jixiangju is evenly divided.

Later, the reason why Yueman Building stood out and became the first place in Capital City was because Master Ming Hai was full of praise for the fish curd in Yueman Building, and then he patronized it many times.

Who is Master Ming Hai?

Picky gluttonous eaters, big celebrities, and even won the holy family, so the pattern of Yueman Building was opened immediately, and it immediately rose to the first place among the diners in Capital City.

Hmm, celebrity effect????? Should Chen Nianguan not do such things?

Of course, since we have made up our minds to use Master Ming Hai at that time, we naturally have to deepen our relationship in advance!

So regarding what Liu Feng said, Master Ming Hai asked him to deliver it to the Great Buddha Temple every now and then when he had delicious food, now he has no objection at all.

Conquer Master Ming Hai's stomach with all kinds of delicacies first, aren't you afraid that after the restaurant opens, the master will say good things for his Chen family restaurant?

What she wants to do today is not only a winter roast that the master has never eaten, but also another snack: fish cake.

Originally, she used to use dace to make fish cakes, but now it is difficult to buy dace in winter, and in the northerly areas, it is impossible to find dace at all, so now Chen Nianguan is very curious,The fish curd produced by Yueman Building, when she sold it to Shi Cunqi, said on the prescription that it was made of dace meat, so why did Yueman Building transport a batch of dace from the south at a high price for the fish curd?Or did you use other fish meat to make fish curd?

It was rare to go to Yueman Building last time. subconsciously thought that in winter, Yueman Building would not serve fish curd by default, so didn’t order this dish. will have to find a chance to try the fish curd produced by Yueman Building next time.

Because there is no dace, naturally dace meat cannot be used.

At this time, it is actually difficult to find a place to sell fish. After all, the river has been frozen and it has entered a fishing rest period.

However, in order to please Master Ming Hai, she found a fisherman who was digging ice and bought a fish of unknown species at a high price.

With the experience of the seafood feast on the way back to Beijing, Chen Nianguan now finds that the fish species in this dynasty are slightly different from those in the previous life. There are quite a few that she can’t recognize, and some that she can recognize, except for the commonYes, or the difference is not too big, that is, when I went to the aquarium, I read the species mentioned in the book on the evolution of marine fish, and when I was cooking fish, my cousin mentioned some stories.The past and present of fish.

Therefore, Chen Nianguan, who claims to be an invincible seafood eater, does not dare to be too big at this time.

However, the fisherman swore that it would be delicious, and asked his mother-in-law to bake one for her to taste.

She tasted it, and it was really sweet, so she believed it.

On the desk, she had already sliced the five-jin fish, starting from the tail, and slowly sliced the fish off.

The reason for cutting it this way is that when tried to eat this fish, found that there were many small bones in the fish. You can cut off these small bones directly by cutting them crosswise.also shattered,

As for the little bit that may remain, don’t be afraid, it can just increase the taste of fish cakes, because the fish paste for making fish cakes does not need to be too fine, and fish cakes that are too finely chopped will lose their unique taste.

After cutting, use a knife to chop the fish into puree. You can add a little salt to facilitate the fish from sticking.

Shell the groundnuts, put them in a pan, heat the oil, put the peanut kernels in and fry until fragrant, then put them in, grind them into pieces, and pour them into the isinglass.

Then add some tofu, oyster sauce, green onion, ginger powder, spices, and white sesame seeds. After stirring well, beat it for at least six fingers (two minutes). If the fish ball is too big, you can divide it into small balls.,

Wait until the fish balls are fully glued. The secret to judging that the fish balls are fully glued is to press the fish balls with your fingers. If the fish balls are sunken and bounce back, that’s it.The fish cakes will not have the taste of Q bombs.

After making the fish balls, you can shape them into shape, but the weather is so cold, basically you only need to knead the fish balls into a square and long shape.

Chen Nianguan put three pieces of fish balls on the anvil and moved them aside. After cleaning up the rest of the ingredients, he came back to look at the fish balls. The fish balls were a bit hard.

This weather is really, a natural refrigerator!

So she cut each portion of fish balls into slices of moderate thickness, put the fish cakes into the frying pan, and put the cut fish cakes down for frying.it is done.

Chen Nianguan tasted a piece first by himself. It was delicious, tender and sweet, with a smooth texture. It was so delicious.

Is it better to be happy alone than to be happy together?

She put a plate on a large porcelain plate, and went out of the kitchen holding it, looking at the reserve cooks who were being trained, smiling.

"Cousin, is the new food ready?" Liu Yun also stopped lecturing, turned around and asked, his eyes fell on the burnt fish cakes set off by the white porcelain plate, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Ever since she went to Yanlai Xianggu to help her, she knew that every time my cousin made a move, it must be extraordinary.

"It's ready, come here, everyone come and taste it!"

First, the future chefs and cooks were allotted a piece, and then it was distributed to Liu Fengliuqingliu, Xiong Liushi and others. Even Tao Bo and the two handymen were allotted a piece.

Master Chen's craftsmanship is nothing to say, everyone who has eaten fish cakes say it is good!

"In the future, you can cook delicious food like me!" Chen Nianguan said to the future cook reserve with a smile.

"Really?" Erya asked timidly, with a lack of confidence in her tone.

"Really! First of all, you have to believe that you can do it!"

Chen Nianguan encouraged the reserve cooks, and left the rest of the work to Liu Yun, so he asked Liu Feng to come over and run errands.

Considering that the Grand Buddhist Temple is outside the capital city, if the fish cakes are fried now, they will be cold by the time they are sent there, so the one for Master Ming Hai is not fried, and they can be fried directly after sending them over.

After finishing, seeing the cool wind blowing outside, was afraid that it might snow, so took out the winter yaki that was put in the food box.

In this weather, even if you get the Grand Buddhist Temple, it will be cold and the taste will not taste good at all.

So someone called Liu Feng and taught him how to reheat fish cakes and how to brew ginger milk.

In the end, he was the veteran who also went out of the stall with him. He had grasped the shovel and learned the art back then. After learning it twice, Liu Feng mastered the trick and learned it.

Perhaps Liu Feng made a mistake while cooking at the Grand Buddhist Temple. Chen Nianguan had to give a few more fish cakes, poured more ginger juice out of a bamboo tube, and asked him to bring a jug full of milk.

Liu Feng also learned how to ride a horse now, but Chen Nianguan was worried, and called two big beasts to serve as his guards before letting him drive the horse out.

Liu Feng and his party didn't go far, when there was a thin snowfall that day, fortunately it wasn't too big, when they reached the foot of the mountain, the snow stopped, but there was still a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Liu Feng carried the food box, chatting and laughing with the two beasts slowly, all the way into the Grand Buddhist Temple.

Knowing that Master Ming Hai's Buddhist nunnery is not accessible to anyone, Liu Feng asked the novice to arrange the two beasts to warm up, and then found the entrance of the Buddhist nunnery by himself.

Along the way, seeing Liu Feng, no one came to stop him, because a few days ago, Master Ming Hai's attitude of favoring this little novice deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the Grand Buddhist Temple.

Hey, the senior/junior brother who is being favored in front of Master Ming Hai, why stop him?

Went smoothly to the door of the Buddhist nunnery, saw that the person who was guarding the door last time was absent-minded, looked inside, and there seemed to be no one, so he opened his throat and shouted: "Master Ming Hai, we have brought you delicious food., let me in or not?"

As soon as the chess piece held in Master Ming Hai's hands fell, the corners of his mouth twitched and he raised his forehead.

Liao Xin in the nunnery heard Liu Feng's loud voice, sweating on his forehead.

But he didn't dare to walk around casually without expressly expressing it. He was anxious to see the masters and nobles in the hermitage.

"Go, let that loud voice bring up the food for the master, so that I can show me what it is delicious? It is worth asking someone to brave the snow and send it to the mountain."

The nobleman who was playing chess with Master Ming Hai, who was also engrossed in the chessboard at first, was interrupted by Liu Feng's yelling. At this moment, he frowned and looked up at Master Ming Hai.

Seeing his aging eyes light up, and his eyes flickering when meeting her, she knew that her mind was no longer on the chessboard, so she let go and dropped a chess piece: "Ming Hai, you are the most courageous in the world, playing chess with... Grandpa,Still dare to be distracted? Are you perfunctory?"

"Where, where, in this world, for Ming Hai, the only...Wei Ye and the delicious food can't let him down." Ming Hai smacked his lips, and signaled with his eyes that he would go and get the person in.

Not daring to say anything, he trotted quickly to bring Liu Feng in, and said in a low voice while walking: "Stop yelling, there are noble people here, be careful for a while."

"My lord? How expensive is it?"

Liu Feng seemed to have never met a nobleman before, so he asked like this.

Feeling angry, but not daring to speak out, I could only say: "Anyway, in a while, show me some respect, show your best demeanor, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

What could go wrong?

Isn't it just as my cousin ordered, fry the fish cakes until fragrant, and then cook the winter yakiniku?

Liu Feng didn't believe that such a trivial matter could stump him.

Walking into the meditation room in the nunnery, found that not only Master Ming Hai was sitting in the room, but also an old man, who was wearing clothes that looked expensive at first glance, probably belonged to a rich family in the city, and there was a respectful man standing beside him.Dear person, it is probably the steward of the old man's house or something, and there are two men with knives in the corner of the room, which seem to be guards.

Like my cousin, Xiao You and Si Ya are always with me.

This is the behavior of rich people. Poor people like him and his elder brother don't have a few taels of silver in their pockets. How can they have such a need?

Liu Feng's unscrupulous eyes stared wildly, he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything more, lowered his head, and muttered silently, saying Amitabha Amitabha, translated as bastard little ruffian bastard little ruffian!

"Master Ming Hai, you are busy now. Do you want me to get you something to eat now? Wait a little longer!" Liu Feng didn't care about his mood, walked up to Master Ming Hai, and sat down..

The snow stopped outside, but it was the coldest time.

There are two charcoal basins in this room, one of them is next to the desk where the chess board is placed, and a burning charcoal fire and a pot of tea are burning on it.

Drinking tea while playing chess, this master and this master will enjoy it.

Liu Feng took off the felt hat on his head, patted the snow on it, felt a sharp gaze towards him, raised his head, met the tricks of the rich man, and grinned.A mouthful of snow-white teeth: "This master, what's your name?"

He coughed twice in his heart.

Master Ming Hai was about to say something, but he was stopped by the rich man who waved his hand. He squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Feng: "Are you the little monk in the temple?"

Liu Feng touched the bald gourd, laughed, and said, "Guess?"

This time couldn't stop coughing and coughing, even the corners of Master Ming Hai's mouth twitched. The father-in-law standing behind the nobleman cast a glance, then lowered his head again.

"I don't guess, can't you just say it?"

"Hey, my lord, you just guess who I am, or don't you? You guessed right, I sent you a taste of the delicious food I sent to Master Ming Hai, if you guessed wrong, um, forget it!"

The nobleman looked at Master Ming Hai, and Liu Feng also looked at Master Ming Hai.

Master Ming Hai shook his head slightly.

"no?"

"Oh, this master is really smart! He even saw such an obvious hint from Master Ming Hai." Liu Feng clapped his hands together, then looked at Master Ming Hai, aggrieved, "Master, I promised to help you run errands, but you actuallyStill helping outsiders, what's wrong with you hiding it from him?"

"You can't hide it." Master Ming Hai broke into a cold sweat.

Bullying is a serious crime.

Then changed the subject, "Didn't you say, what kind of food did you bring?"

"That's right, make it now so that you can eat it fresh, let's see how good we are to you!" Liu Feng asked for credit, "I came all the way here, and I'm tired from climbing the mountain, so I'll make it for you after a while!"

"You can do it?"

"Of course, I think I worked out of a stall back then, master." Liu Feng stopped chatting, got up, took two steps and then retreated, "Well, where is the kitchen?"

Master Ming Hai looked at his heart.

Wiping his head in a cold sweat, Li Xin immediately took Liu Feng to the kitchen in the Buddhist nunnery.

My cousin said that if Master Ming Hai pursues such a person in food, the kitchen in the Buddhist temple must have all kinds of cooking utensils, so when you arrive at the Grand Buddhist Temple, if you need anything, just ask Master Ming Hai directly.

Liu Feng went into the kitchen and saw that it was indeed so.

Putting down the food box, picked out a cooking pot and a frying pan from inside, washed them first, and then put them on the stove respectively.

Open the food box, first put the milk in the jar, and then pour half of the milk in the jar into the cooking pot, put a little sugar, stir it, and cook it slowly.

Then Liu Feng took out two porcelain bowls with lids, opened the lids, and poured an appropriate amount of ginger juice into them respectively. After thinking about it, he was worried that he would fail at that time, so he asked Xin to take two more bowls from the temple.Pour ginger juice into it.

While boiling the hot milk, took out the cut fish cakes from the food box, put the oil into the frying pan, and put the fish cakes in one by one.

When the milk gradually boils and shows signs of boiling, turn off the heat, pour the milk into a porcelain bowl with ginger juice, and then close the lid on the one with the lid, and cover it with a porcelain plate on the other without the lid.

Then continue to fry the fish cakes. When each fish cake is fried until both sides are browned, put the fish cakes on a white porcelain plate and arrange them beautifully.

Open the porcelain bowl again and see, well, he did it once and burned it this winter.

Sure enough, he is also good at cooking.

Liu Feng grinned, begged to help, and sent two bowls of winter roast and a plate of fish cakes to Master Ming Hai.
