When we arrived at Zou Dacheng's house, his small yard was busy.
As soon as Song Yue arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she heard the ladies and aunts who were helping to choose vegetables in the front yard talking about everything. Some said that the new town official was handsome and wanted to marry his daughter to him, while others were complaining about the person in charge of the dishes. Why haven't you come yet?
"I heard that I invited a girl from Dawan Village. She is not very young and she was the first place in the competition in her village. What do you think we, Dacheng, think? Instead of hiring a chef in a restaurant in our town, hire such a little girl. Film.”
"Who knows? What kind of food can a yellow-haired girl make? Or is it from the village..."
"Hey, the villages near us are so poor that they can't even eat meat once a year. Do they still know what meat tastes like? Can they still cook a banquet?"
The women in the yard all laughed and laughed, thinking that this would not be a good thing.
One of the women had the biggest reaction. She laughed and said, "Why don't you invite me, a village girl from a mountain village? Dacheng doesn't do this properly. Even if you have money, you don't know how to take care of our own people!"
Others also smiled and said, "If you can do it, then so can we!"
The woman said: "Go, go, how can you cook as well as me? I have also been a cook for others. I am responsible for all the happy events in my family! I am not designated to cook the food cooked by this yellow-haired girl. So delicious!”
When Song Yue crossed the threshold and entered the door, he saw the woman who said this with her back to her, holding a handful of long beans in her waist and looking very stocky.
She knew where this woman's self-confidence came from. If she could make herself so fat these days, she was indeed quite capable. "Okay, you'll know after you try it, so why bother talking behind others' backs?" "
When the little girl's figure appeared in the yard, everyone was startled. The fat woman also froze, but when she turned around, she saw that it was indeed a girl wearing patchwork clothes, and she looked quite outstanding.
Pity.
With this poor appearance, he didn't even have any good clothes to wear when he came to town.
Song Yue felt the contempt from all sides, or she was watching a good show, but she looked back calmly. The people in the town were worthy of being in the town. There were almost no patches on their bodies, only one or two patches.
And all of them wore silver jewelry.
Either wear a pair of silver earrings, a silver bracelet, or a ring and hairpin.
She does look different from the bitter people in the village. No wonder they look down on her and look down on her.
Song Yue had seen too many people who looked down on others, so she looked at them with a smile, making them so scared that they didn't dare to look at her.
Everyone turned their heads and stopped looking at her.
It must be the woman with the most powerful output, who is trying to teach Song Yue a few words with her waist, how much time is wasted at this point? She wanted to use this to curse.
Song Yue didn't give her a chance, so she raised her voice and asked: "Are the dishes ready? You are so busy, and the person who takes the spoon comes, how can you be so polite? When your family holds a wedding, you have to show your face to the cook. Woolen cloth?"
When this hat was put down, all the women present changed their faces in fright. Regardless of weddings or weddings here, the people in charge of the place were respected. If there was news that they did not respect the cook or other masters, then If they need help with something at home, their reputation will be so bad that no one will come, which is very embarrassing.
Everyone just wanted to bully Song Yue for being young and ignorant, but they didn't expect her to be so naughty and start putting on airs. They immediately apologized and said, "It's nothing!"
Get busy immediately.
Someone stood up and led her to the backyard with a smile, and told her how the side dishes were prepared.
Someone pulled the troublemaking woman to the side, otherwise she would make trouble here, "Hey, today is a happy event for the family, we can't make trouble!"
After all, it was Zou Dacheng who invited her back. If this little girl quits, people like them would be inseparable and the relationship between relatives would become tense again.
You must know that these days, relatives who can be used as government servants are also very prestigious.
Sure enough, the woman didn't dare to make any more trouble, and they were in the wrong for this matter. Although Song Yue came late, it was not yet the time she and Zou Dacheng agreed on, and the time she had originally set was later. .
The fat woman then said angrily: "Okay, I want to see what kind of capable person Dacheng has hired! What delicacies this mountain girl can make for him!"
Although there are mountains around the town, after all, the town is flatter, and other villages are scattered in the nearby mountains, so the people in the town always look down on them.
Song Yue didn't want to make too much of a fuss. Firstly, today was a happy event for Zou Dacheng's child, so it wouldn't be nice to make a fuss. Secondly, she was quite a nosy and took on some wedding and funeral work. It was good, so her reputation couldn't be bad!
She thought about it in her mind, and then she took a look at the prepared dishes.
Then fold up the sleeves.
Ready to start!
She and Zou Dacheng finalized the twelve dishes for the banquet yesterday evening, two vegetarian dishes, two desserts, two soups, four and a half meat dishes, and two large meat dishes.
Two vegetarian dishes are easy to handle.
Song Yue is going to make stir-fried long beans and salted cabbage, which are very refreshing vegetarian dishes.
For two desserts, she planned to make carrot sweet potatoes and brown sugar cold shrimps, both of which were very simple to make.
For soup, prepare a yam and pork ribs soup and a winter melon and duck soup.
The four and a half meat dishes include steamed egg with meatloaf, fried meat with green pepper and mushrooms, stewed meat with tofu stuffing, and croquettes. The croquettes are made with vegetarian vegetables, meat, and flour.
The two big meat dishes are sauced pork elbow and plain chicken.
After Song Yue had finalized the recipe in her mind, she was able to cook it with ease. When it was almost time, the women in the front yard also packed up the dishes and moved them all to the backyard, where they were busy arranging the tables and chairs.
At that time, the banquet tables will be placed in the front yard and the main hall in the middle.
Song Yue was busy in the large kitchen in the backyard. There were several women here who were steaming a lot of steamed buns early in the morning. When they saw the little girl in charge of the ladle coming, they were very curious, but everyone just said hello.
Everyone does their own thing.
Song Yue asked Zou Dacheng last night to ask the women who helped prepare the dishes according to her requirements in advance, and this morning they were able to prepare everything.
As soon as she arrived, she started to prepare the sauced pork elbow and plain chicken. Even though these two hard dishes seemed to take a lot of time, it was actually not bad, and she had enough time.
It was only half past eight when Song Yue arrived, and there were still three hours before the banquet started.
enough.
After finishing the hard vegetables, she started to make brown sugar cold shrimps and croquettes. The main thing is that these two dishes are not afraid to be made in advance, so that they can be served first.
In order to seek good luck, Song Yue also added red dates to the brown sugar cold shrimps. She made this very quickly. She had people grind the rice flour and corn flour in advance, although no one knew what she was doing with it.
Song Yue added some pea starch to it. This was bought in the system. She put it in the system warehouse and mixed it in when mixing the powder. Others couldn't tell because she added it secretly while mixing.
