Chapter 176: Scolding
"Ms. Xia, I have an unkind favor..." The team leader felt a little embarrassed.
After all, cooking is a special skill.
Even if there is no such thing as teaching apprentices to starve their masters to death between Xia Mingyue and the military camp, the value of such things as housekeeping skills will decrease as more people learn them.
Especially from the team leader's point of view, they cannot bring any equivalent benefits to Xia Mingyue.
"Want to learn from me?" Xia Mingyue asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes." The team leader did not expect that Xia Mingyue could see clearly, nor did he expect that she would ask so straightforwardly, so he nodded even more embarrassedly.
"Okay." Xia Mingyue agreed simply.
If the mutton soup cooked this time can successfully win over Fang Linwang, I will probably have to make it again in the future. Teaching the cooks in the kitchen will also be of great help.
“But if I just follow it this time, I guess I won’t learn the essence, but I can almost get it into the mouth. You can follow it and take a look later, and I will write the recipe to you later.”
Seeing Xia Mingyue's generosity, the team leader was quite excited. He just nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "Okay!"
Then he thanked Xia Mingyue and greeted the few. The cook hurried over to take a good look.
But one of the cooks curled his lips and said, "How can I put my face on learning cooking from a woman?"
He is a big man...
< br>After he finished speaking, the team leader gave him a slap in the face and scolded him, "If you don't want to learn, get out!"
"What's wrong with women? Isn't your mother a woman? How can you, a bastard like you, live in this world without a woman? You crawled out of a woman's belly, and now you're disgusted with it?"
" If you have the ability, you can jump out from the cracks in the rocks. I can think highly of you for once, but being picky here is really embarrassing to you!"
After scolding him, the team leader still felt angry and refused to let him here! To do work, he was only sent to fetch water and fill all the water jars.
If you look down on women, don’t be an eyesore here.
Lest it affect some of their skills learning!
The person who was scolded had a face full of sarcasm and did not dare to say anything. He just took a pole and a bucket and went out.
Xia Mingyue didn't know about this little commotion, she just sorted out the necessary seasonings and processed the required ingredients.
The lamb leg meat is cut into large pieces and soaked in clean water together with the lamb spine for half an hour. During this period, the water is changed twice to fully remove the unique fishy smell of the mutton.
Put the mutton and mutton bones under cold water, add green onions and ginger slices. After the water boils, pour in a spoonful of rice wine.
As the water in the pot continues to boil, white and gray impurities gradually gush out. The large boiled bubbles are pushed to the edge of the iron pot. Xia Mingyue deftly skims off the foam with an iron spoon and waits for a while. After the tea is cooked, take out all the mutton and mutton bones and rinse them with warm water.
Add water, scallions, ginger slices, star anise, peppercorns, cinnamon and other stew spices to the pot again. When the water boils, add rice wine and simmer slowly for an hour.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xia Mingyue mixed the dough with cold water and white flour, kneaded it into small balls, and then rolled it into a round cake the size of an open palm.
Put the pancake in the pan without oil, just bake the round cake until it is done.
When all the noodles are taken out of the pot and placed in small bamboo baskets, the aroma of the mutton and mutton bone soup here is gradually wafting out.
Xia Mingyue cut all the soaked fungus, vermicelli, etc. into suitable shreds or segments, and prepared salt, pepper, chili powder, etc., wrapped them all and placed them in a crock pot for later use.
After checking that the mutton and mutton bone soup in the pot was almost simmered, Xia Mingyue scooped all the soup, meat and bones into another earthen pot, and did not stop until the earthen pot was eighty percent full.
Bring all the baked cakes, prepared side dishes and seasonings, and the charcoal stove, and instruct the captain to take the mutton out of the pot first, and then stew the mutton bone soup. Within half an hour, Xia Mingyue was supported by Lu Qiyan and got into the carriage that had been prepared. Accompanying him were Zhang Anyuan who led the way, the driver who drove the carriage, and two soldiers who drove the carriage and accompanied him.
The carriage is not big. In addition to placing the various things to be brought, Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan sat inside, which was already full.
In order to avoid the heat of the charcoal stove and the scalding heat of the mutton and mutton bone soup in the earthen pot, Xia Mingyue had to stay away for a while.
In this way, he and Lu Qiyan were very close to each other, almost shoulder to shoulder.
Since arriving here and so-called getting married to Lu Qiyan, this is the first time the two of them have been so close.
I don’t know if it was because of the charcoal stove in the carriage, but it seemed a little hot inside, which made Xia Mingyue move a little to one side.
This action fell into Lu Qiyan’s eyes.
After frowning for a moment, Lu Qiyan raised his hand to lift the curtains on both sides to let in some of the cold wind outside.
As soon as he raised his hand, the wheels seemed to crush something, and the carriage shook violently. The shock only made Xia Mingyue unable to control her body and tilted towards the charcoal stove.
Lu Qiyan had quick eyes and quick hands, and put his arm around Xia Mingyue's shoulders.
Having avoided the danger of collision with the charcoal stove, Xia Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but realized that she was being held tightly by Lu Qiyan, and her whole body was leaning on his shoulder...
Xia Mingyue's cheeks were slightly red, and she stood up hurriedly, tucking some of her loose hair behind her ears, "I'm fine."
"That's good." Lu Qiyan breathed out, his eyes filled with tears. The light dimmed slightly.
He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and asked the soldiers to drive the car more smoothly. Lu Qiyan pushed aside the small curtains on both sides of the carriage.
The cold wind rushed in immediately, blowing away a lot of the heat in the car.
Xia Mingyue no longer felt so uncomfortable and just sat up straight, "How far is the distance?"
Lu Qiyan raised his eyes and took a look, "It's about how far there is. Half an hour."
"About." Xia Mingyue opened the lid of the earthen pot, checked the slightly boiling soup inside, and then put the lid back on. "It should be just right."< br>
"Yeah." Lu Qiyan nodded and calmly sat down next to Xia Mingyue.
Huh?
Xia Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Lu Qiyan.
Lu Qiyan only looked out the window sideways, as if he didn't know anything.
Xia Mingyue touched her nose and looked the other way.
The carriage arrived all the way to Liujiazhuang.
After some inquiring, Zhang Anyuan and the soldiers driving the carriage found the place and parked the carriage to the west of Liujiazhuang Village, in front of Fang Linwang's house.
The yard of Fang Linwang's house is small and dilapidated, and the two tile-roofed houses are also a bit old. A lot of moss has grown on the green bricks used to build the houses, and some of them have turned powdery due to weathering.
The courtyard wall is low, only half as tall as a person, but there is a fence gate at the entrance.
The fence gate was closed tightly at this time, and the door of the house was also closed. It was not sure whether anyone was at home.
"I'll go in and take a look." The soldier said as he stepped over the courtyard wall.
