Chapter 54 Qiao Ye is the only one in the family who dares to do this
It's almost time to make dinner.
Today it was Mrs. Lu's turn to cook. She and her two daughters just entered the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Then Qiao Ye walked in.
She forced a smile and asked, "Wu Lang's wife, why are you in the kitchen?"
Qiao Ye said bluntly: "The meat you cook is not delicious, so I will do it myself."
Mrs. Lu: "..."
She was a little worried about Qiao Ye’s cooking. After all, the Qiao family didn’t eat as well as the Lu family.
What can Qiao Ye do?
Isn't that a waste of meat?
However, she has already witnessed how powerful Qiao Ye is in the past two days.
So instead of saying it directly, he smiled and said tactfully, "What kind of meat do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."
Among all the wives in the village, her cooking skills are considered to be relatively good.
Her father is a chef who specializes in hosting banquets, so she learned a little from him.
Her father once said with regret that it was a pity that she was a woman.
Otherwise, with her talent for cooking, she might be able to become an apprentice to a chef in a restaurant in the county.
Or inherit their family's legacy of preparing village banquets.
People in the Lu family also like the food she cooks.
So she is still very confident in herself.
Qiao Ye could see that this aunt of his didn't quite believe in her own cooking skills.
But it’s normal, after all, the Qiao family used to eat very poorly.
Old Mrs. Qiao didn't allow granddaughters like them to enter the kitchen, for fear that they would steal food.
She leaned over and asked, "Can Third Auntie cook twice-cooked pork?"
From memory, the cooking methods in the village were relatively simple, basically stewing and boiling.
Frying, roasting and grilling are rare.
The Dayin Dynasty was more open than any dynasty she knew, and there were so many seasonings.
Therefore, the diet in the royal palace, aristocratic families and developed places should be diversified.
For example, in restaurants in county towns, there are many kinds of dishes on the menu.
Never underestimate the innovative and hands-on abilities of the ancients.
With so many seasonings, they can also create many dishes on their own.
In fact, in modern times, many dishes from old restaurants have been passed down for hundreds of years.
Some star chefs also use ancient cooking methods, which are very popular.
Therefore, if you want to go to the county town and pay dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver to sell vegetables to a restaurant, it is simply unrealistic.
It’s just that the villagers are happy to have enough food to eat, and they don’t think about cooking in different ways.
Of course, there aren't many recipes to go around.
She checked yesterday and found that the restaurant did not have the dish of twice-cooked pork.
So he definitely has never eaten these top-notch products of the Lu family.
Actually, I originally wanted to make braised pork, but the Lu family didn’t have the spices that could be used, so I changed the recipe.
Sure enough, Mrs. Lu asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What kind of meat is twice-cooked pork?"
Qiao Ye said: "Meat roasted with pork."
"Look, you don't even know how to cook it for me?"
"So I'll do it."
Seeing that the other party was hesitant, it seemed that he was afraid that she would waste the meat.
Qiao Ye could only use his ultimate move, "I learned this from the chef in the kitchen at Lord River God's residence."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her doubts were completely dispelled.
She immediately gave up her position and said, "Then you do it."
Because of Qiao Ye's magical power and his ability to diagnose diseases just by looking at them.
They all believed that she had served the Lord River God.
Qiao Ye discovered that the banner he was waving was extremely useful.
She walked to the stove and saw Mrs. Lu was about to leave with her daughter.
I couldn't help but say: "You stay and help."
Mrs. Lu looked at her in amazement, "You want us to help? Aren't you afraid that we might steal your knowledge?"
In her mind, recipes are either passed down in family or learned from a master.
She heard from her father that many of the dishes cooked by the chefs in the restaurant were not prepared for others to see.
Her father could cook those dishes, but they were not considered presentable in the county town's restaurants.
But in the village, it is a skill for making a living.
If outsiders want to learn it, he will not teach it, so he can only pass it all on to his children and grandchildren.
Her daughter only learned the basics, and her father was unwilling to teach her more.
Since Qiao Ye learned the recipe from the chef in Lord River God’s mansion, shouldn’t he keep it secret?
Qiao Ye could roughly guess what she was thinking.
This is normal. In ancient times, if there was a skill, it would only be passed down to future generations or apprentices.
It wouldn't be like modern times, as long as there are no secret recipes or formulas.
If you search for videos, you will find a lot of them.
She smiled and said, "Aren't we a family? If you want to learn, go ahead."
"In the future, the girls of the Lu family will also have an extra cooking skill to rely on."
"And now that I've learned it, I'll have you guys cook it when I want to eat at home."
She had already decided to teach the dishes she would make to the female members of the family, such as Mrs. Lu San, who had the best cooking skills.
If you want to eat something in the future, just ask the other party to bring the girls from the Lu family to cook it.
For the women of the Lu family, being able to learn to cook so many dishes is a skill.
It is very prestigious and reassuring to marry into your husband's family.
With this skill, you won’t have trouble finding a husband.
But for her, she doesn't want to go into the kitchen every day and cook for a large family.
So it is mutually beneficial.
After hearing what Qiao Ye said, Mrs. Lu and her two daughters were shocked.
Erya even asked in a lost voice: "Can we learn it too?"
In her grandfather's family, cooking skills are not passed down to daughters.
Her mother was relatively favored, but she could only learn the basics.
Just at this moment, Lu Sanya from the second room came into the kitchen to fetch water.
I heard this too.
I couldn't help but ask, "Fifth sister-in-law, can I learn from you?"
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Yes!"
"Go ask the women in your family. If anyone wants to learn, they can come and watch."
"The ones who are more talented will mainly cook in the kitchen in the future."
There are more than twenty people in the Lu family, so the amount of food required to prepare a meal is quite large.
So it’s better for several people to take turns.
Lu Sanya's eyes lit up, "Okay!"
Then he quickly turned around and went out to ask other people.
Soon, all the women of the Lu family crowded into the kitchen.
Of course they all want to learn.
The kitchen was not big, so Qiao Ye asked them to stand separately.
She first asked Mrs. Lu to peel off the skin of a large piece of pork belly and cook it in a pot with cold water.
Then I looked for seasoning and found only a small can of salt and a small can of oil on the stove.
A wooden stick wrapped in cotton cloth was also placed in the oil.
When the daughter-in-law of the Lu family cooks, she usually just wipes the bottom of the pot with a kapok cloth.
So the dishes prepared don’t have much oil or water.
She remembered seeing a lot of things in the cupboard when she was steaming eggs yesterday.
I checked the cupboard and found it was locked again.
No one was sent to ask the old lady for the key.
He still walked over, reached out and pulled the lock open.
The women of the Lu family widened their eyes: "..."
Qiao Sanya is so fierce!
Lu Erya swallowed her saliva and said weakly, "If you open the lock and take the things inside, grandma will scold you."
Usually, if the old lady wants to take anything out of this cabinet, she has to unlock it herself.
Now Qiao Ye not only wanted to take it, but also broke the lock. He was very brave.
Qiao Ye smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I made twice-cooked pork to nourish grandma, she won't blame me."
The old lady is difficult to comfort and talk to.
But for her, it's still easy to coax.
Then she took out sugar, soy sauce, fermented black beans and bean paste from the cupboard.
She found that although there was bean paste, there was no bean paste, so she had to make do with it for the time being.
I'll make some bean paste for myself in the future.
When they saw Qiao Ye taking out so many seasonings, the faces of the women in the Lu family changed.
If my mother-in-law or grandmother knew about this, I don’t know how they would scold me.
But it was obvious that Qiao Ye wouldn't listen, so they could only continue to watch helplessly.
Qiao Ye is the only one in the family who dares to do this...
