Chapter 21 The Incredible Senior Sister
The servants in the castle have recently had something new to talk about secretly. Everyone is guessing why the master calls meatballs as big as fists "lion heads".
Oxo, the maid in charge of the kitchen, has been watching the master doing it and feels that the "lion head" method is quite complicated.
First, chop the fat pork and lean pork into 50-50 pieces, sprinkle in a little spice powder and salt, pour some water soaked in onion, ginger and wine, add a little starch and egg white, and mix well. Stir in one direction with your hands to mix, and finally shape into fist-sized balls.
Then the chopped pork leg bones and skin were put into a pot of cold water for what is called "blanching" to remove the foam. The remaining broth was eaten by the servants as vegetable soup for dinner.
Wash the bones and meat skin and put them in the pot, add a few mushrooms, add water and boil, put the meatballs in, cover the lid, bring to a boil again, then simmer on low heat for an afternoon until dinner time, do not uncover it during this time cover.
Finally, the meatballs were put into the bowl, the soup was poured out, and the fat on them was drained out before being poured into the bowl. The excess went into the stomachs of the servants.
It stands to reason that there should be a piece of Shanghai green leaves in the soup, but Frederick could only do this. The Shanghai green leaves could only wait for the man who tried to sell soybeans to him as an oriental elixir. Next time Pagan comes over, let's see if she got any seeds from the tangerine.
"It's interesting." Richard Nall took a bite of the lion's head, "No wonder Miss Psyche asked for this."
Beside him sat a tall figure. A tall lady, in her late twenties, with black hair and eyes, she looks very quiet, and her figure is much stronger than that of ordinary women.
Richard Nall's daughter Katie just arrived in Weissenburg today. She previously lived on an island in the south of the Kingdom of Sardinia and was a well-known local painter and poet.
Psyche knew Katie, and she would pinch her face as soon as they met, but then she was skillfully dodged.
During dinner, Richard Nall said to Frederick: "Frederick, Katie can be trusted. If you have any tasks, you can give them to her."
Kay Di said shyly: "I don't know if I can do it well, but I will try my best."
After receiving the letter from her father, she took all the cash and rushed over. When I saw Frederick once, I thought he was the son of his junior brother.
She was very curious in her heart, what ability did this young junior fellow apprentice have that could make her father value him so much?
Frederick naturally trusted his senior sister. After taking a look at Psyche, he said: "There is something that can replace parchment. The cost is not high and it is very light. It can be used as a carrier for books. The price has been greatly reduced, and many people can afford it."
"Really?" Katie's black eyes widened in surprise. As a poet, she naturally understood the importance.
Frederick smiled at her and nodded, then looked at Psyche.
"Okay, okay." Psyche said dotingly, "Since we let little Katie take charge, I will teach her myself."
"But I've said it first. One part of it must be Katie's private money, just 30%."
Katie hurriedly refused: "Aunt Psyche, this is too much, wait until we drink it Let’s start counting again during the celebration.”
“Thirty percent is no problem,” Frederick immediately agreed, “Weisenberg University recommended a bachelor named Koehler to participate. If you get it well, there will be a big reward."
Papermaking is now equivalent to Psyche's industry, and Frederick will agree to whatever she arranges.
At this time, Richard Nall said to his daughter: "Bachelor Koehler is a professor at Weisenberg University. I met him once. He is very smart. If there is anything you don't know how to learn from him, Discuss.”
Frederick raised his eyebrows and immediately discovered the problem.
He had previously asked Manuel to find someone from the school to take charge of the papermaking process. Manuel found a few candidates and gave them their names and basic information, but he had not yet had time to interview and confirm.
What is the situation with Richard Nall, that he can actually determine the final candidate?
Just when Frederick was confused, Psyche was eating, and his voice penetrated into his ears: "Köhler is the best among the unmarried candidates for the head of the papermaking industry." Te Lie instantly understood that the master was going to choose a husband for his senior sister.
He thought about it, the senior sister was not young, and his mother had already caught slimes for fun when she was her age.
Katie didn't seem to hear her father's words, and turned to Psyche and said: "Aunt Psyche, my mother's manor has brewed a lot of good wine in the past few years. She often talks about when you will I'm going to drink with her."
"Forget it." Psyche immediately shook her head, "I want to live a few more years."
"And, Frederick's age. He's still young, so don't lead him wrong."
Katie cried out as if she had been greatly wronged: "Don't make me look like a bad person."
Psyche just sneered, and others could tell at a glance whether she was wronged or not.
Katie looked at Frederick, with a kind smile on her face, and asked softly: "Brother Frederick, who do you think is more of a bad guy, me or Aunt Psyche?"
Frederick immediately replied seriously: "None of you are alike, I am the most similar."
Intuition exists, and it tells someone in Philip that this senior sister cannot be offended. .
"Sister Katie," Frederick immediately changed the subject, "can you tell me about the Kingdom of Sardinia? I haven't been to such a far place yet."
Katie smiled and said softly: "In the future, when you go to the Kingdom of Sardinia, especially to the south, if any gang bullies you, report my name. No one will dare to bully my brother."
Frederick was stunned, and the piece of preserved egg on the fork in his hand almost fell to the table.
Only then did he notice that Katie’s nails were painted with black nail polish.
Psyche glanced at Frederick and saw that there was no one else in the restaurant, so she said to him: "Katie's mother comes from a famous gangster family in the south of the Kingdom of Sardinia. If you want to eat citrus, you can go to her."< br>
The corners of Frederick's mouth twitched and he looked at Richard Nall.
Lord Sword Master didn't seem to notice anyone looking at him, he lowered his head and ate breakfast quietly.
Frederick put away his gossip and asked about the citrus.
Katie asked curiously: "Do you want to eat oranges? I wrote a letter and asked my family to bring two cars over."
The level of fruit preservation these days is limited, and only oranges with such peels can Thick fruits can be transported over long distances.
But the logistics speed is too slow. Wesen is fine, but it cannot be transported further north.
Frederick's mouth curled up slightly and he said: "I'm doing some experiments here. If the experiment is successful, the citrus pulp can be preserved for at least half a year."
He was thinking in his heart, Manuel exerted the necromancy The magic teapot of broth is almost ready to be opened.
