"Have you found the mistake?" Ou Mengmeng rinsed her mouth and looked at her. She didn't expect that Daiyu was covering her stomach now because she had eaten too much. She happened to ask about the day's teaching.
"Why do you ask me first?" Daiyu tilted her head and looked at her grandmother. She was rude, but she felt that shouldn't she ask her second sister first and then her?
"Hey, can you stop being so like your uncle now? He quarrels with heaven and earth. He quarrels with everyone except the emperor. But it's okay. Remember to go back and antagonize your father when you go back." Ou Mengmeng shook her hand and looked at Yingchun. , "Tell me, what's wrong with knowing this meal?"
"Are the dishes repetitive? There are three dishes that taste almost the same." Yingchun saw that Daiyu was about to refute, so he held her down and said hurriedly.
"Yes, when you are a mistress, the first thing you have to pass is the kitchen. The arrangement of daily meals, the daily combination of meat and vegetables, and the combination of flavors are all the wisdom of the mistress. Why did the second wife make me a water card and let me switch to it? Eat with flowers? In fact, this is also a great wisdom. I have a water card in my own kitchen. Except for the main dishes, they can freely mix other dishes, and most of them are passable, so it seems that you don’t have to worry about it, but in fact you have to be careful." Ou Mengmeng commented Said, skipping Daiyu, and clicked Tanchun again, "Tanchun."
"Originally they were all vegetarian dishes, so the kitchen made them more flavorful, but I didn't expect that the old lady always likes the taste of the south. Meals must be arranged according to people's tastes. It's the granddaughters' fault for not reminding the cook." Tan Chun was busy. said.
They and the old lady have been eating together since childhood. Except for the rice, which was requested by the old lady, the other dishes were arranged by them. Looking at it now, there were only two things that the old lady liked before. Although the old lady didn't say anything, they should reflect on themselves. After all, it was inappropriate to rely on the old lady.
Ou Mengmeng nodded: "Yes, when arranging meals, we have to look at people's orders and put people first. This is a good point. I will think so in the future. However, I said this morning, don't worry about me. I want to lose weight and eat healthier. . The food that used to be soft and sweet has all gone. You don’t have to eat too much and it turns into meat. The food on this table is just right in terms of everyone’s likes and dislikes.”
Tanchun responded hurriedly and awkwardly. After all, he was still a child, so he could hide his emotions wherever he went.
"The sisters have said it, can you say it now?" Ou Mengmeng looked at Lin Daiyu. She felt that she had spoiled this guy. But I seem to have heard that Sister Lin is a bit mean, so is this the nature?
"So the old lady didn't call the names by age, but randomly?" Daiyu was really a little confused and asked again.
"Yes, sometimes, I know your answer, so I will ask your second sister and third sister first; sometimes I don't need your answer, so I will ask Brother Rong's wife, your eldest sister first. Because they all have standard answers. The six of you have different personalities and look at problems from different angles, so I often ask you to answer questions, so that you can learn to learn from your strengths and offset your weaknesses. Do you understand?" Ou Mengmeng nodded. Now she understands that Dai Yugang is not resentful of herself, but confused. , smiled and said, "Grandma misunderstood you just now, so I apologize to you. However, you have to understand that I am an elder. It is very impolite for you to ask back to grandma like this, and it can easily lead to misunderstandings. So in the future , in this regard, you have to learn from eldest sister and Qin, they are really strict in their rules."
"Yes, the second sister and the third sister are right. What the granddaughter thought was, we took it for granted. We ordered the dishes and then ignored them. We should understand the taste of each dish and determine the presentation first. ." As expected, Daiyu had just finished eating for nothing.
"Daiyu's point is also right. If there is a big banquet at home, it will be prepared many days in advance. In this way, the dishes must be prepared. Apart from the dishes you have eaten, what will you do with the ones you have not eaten? You have to let The chefs prepare the dishes one by one, and then you have to confirm the taste and presentation. However, these efforts are accumulated all the time. They are not something you can master in one day." Ou Mengmeng said to Lin Daiyu Shaking his head, he looked at Qin Keqing, "Say!"
"This is the first time that the little aunts have been in charge of the kitchen. Things in it are slowly coming out." Qin Keqing lowered her head and smiled after thinking about it, and said slowly.
"What's wrong?" Ou Mengmeng gave her a roll of the eyes. The child seemed to have adapted and became more nimble.
"So to speak, everyone is right. I asked carefully about what the old lady likes and what my eldest aunt likes. In fact, the eight dishes all have clever ideas, and the purpose is to make everyone accommodate each other. This is how the relationship between a family is built. "But the kitchen didn't remind the aunts that the cooking and presentation of the three middle dishes are similar, so it's not the aunts' fault." Qin Keqing covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.
Now Daiyu, Yingchun, and Tanchun realized that their mistake was not taking care of the right person. If the cook only wanted to do their best, she should have explained the appearance of the eight dishes and possible problems early on, but she said nothing.
At best, he is an obedient fool; but if you think about it more carefully, is it eye candy? Frame them? Or if they look down on them, if they follow Daiyu's advice, they will cook one dish after another, so they will fawn over the cook instead.
"That's what I mean! Being a mistress of a house is inherently complicated. You can't take care of anything other than the Lord's affairs outside the Yamen. What else can't you worry about? Clothing, food, housing, transportation, outside entertainment, and management. The superiors, wives of subordinates, and children , parents’ birthdays, death anniversaries, preferences, almost affect your master’s promotion and work progress. Not to mention the seventh and eighth aunts in the house, and the people on the street behind are all from the Jia clan. We are all relatives. I really point my finger at you and scold you, but you still don’t retaliate? So why are you asked to start from the kitchen? What should you take care of in the kitchen, design the dishes, and form your own personal system to let the whole family People find the taste of home. So, who will help you realize it? Is it difficult for you as a wife to do it yourself? Of course the cook, the comprador, and the small workers will help you. You are the marching marshal, and those are the soldiers under you . Another point is that you have to master the taste yourself. You can't change the cook, and the taste of your home will change. Isn't it that you are being held hostage by the cook? So the kitchen is the entry and exit threshold for the family. Really Once you take care of the kitchen and take care of the people, money, and things at home, it will be the same." Ou Mengmeng shook her head with a smile, thinking about the dishes just now, and what everyone said, and turned to Xichun, "Four Girl, are you full?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's just weird." Grandma Xiao Xichun said.
"Poor, if you want to eat well, you have to work hard." Ou Mengmeng shrugged her shoulders.
"Can't Hide Secretly" will be broadcast on the 20th. I'm really looking forward to it, but there really isn't much to watch recently.
