Chapter 28: Showing Cooking Skills, Showing Loyalty
Because Lin'er is still young, he can take the enlightenment course here, and the Bible reading course should be taken when he is older. As for when he reaches the career stage, he no longer needs to study in the teaching hall, but has to study in an outside academy. Shen's The eldest son is currently studying at Xiangshan Academy.
The private school in the Prime Minister's Mansion is relatively large, so the younger generations of the Ye family are sent here to study. In the past two years, Mrs. Shen has held a Furong Poetry Festival every year, with the purpose of inviting young masters and ladies from aristocratic families in the capital to come and compete.
"Miss, we're here!" The young man led Ye Qingge and his party to the entrance of the God's Child Hall. They were greeted by a middle-aged man in his early forties, whom the young man called Mr. Ming.
"This is the eldest lady and young master. My Excellency, Ou Yangming, once taught at Bailu Academy and is now the gentleman in charge of teaching enlightenment in the Prime Minister's Mansion." After Ouyang Ming finished speaking, he bowed to Ye Qingge.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ming. My younger brother is here to study for the first time, and then there is Mr. Lao!" Ye Qingge said in return.
Looking at Ye Qingge's return gift, Ouyang Ming was a little dazed. This eldest lady was not at all as unbearable as people in the mansion said. On the contrary, her tone of voice was neither humble nor overbearing, her return gift was generous and decent, and her attitude was calm and natural. She didn't look like someone who came from a mountain village at all. .If the birthmark on his face hadn't obscured his sharpness, he would have been much more outstanding than the second young lady Ye Qingyao.
After Ye Qingge handed over Lin'er and Xiaoyue to Mr. Ming, he left Xiaocui to take care of him. Xiaobai and the two little fat boys also stayed behind. With the three little ones here, Ye Qingge was not afraid of Lin'er being taken care of at all. Bullying, but Ye Qingge also warned the three little ones not to reveal their identities and abilities in front of others.
After watching Lin'er enter the school to study, Ye Qingge went home first. Today there are craftsmen coming to look at the house.
After returning home, Xiangxiang had already sent the cloth to a nearby garment workshop. Now she and Lan'er were cleaning up the house, and Zhou Quan and Zhou Yang were also helping to move things.
When Ye Qingge left, he asked them to vacate the house first and move all the things that could be used together. After the craftsmen decided which house to build first, they could then build a simple pergola to live in.
Seeing that it was almost noon, everyone was still busy. Ye Qingge went into the kitchen alone to prepare food for everyone. Xiangxiang came to help but Ye Qingge refused. She was not completely ready yet, so she could not be overtired. .
Ye Qingge asked Zhou Quan to fetch two buckets of water, light a fire and steam the rice into the pot. Then he turned around and started to prepare the vegetables. Today he would make sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed sea bass.
Ye Qingge first washed and cut the ribs, put it into the pot under cold water, added onion, ginger and a little cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, skimmed off the blood and simmered for another 30 minutes, drained and set aside, leaving half a bowl of broth. Then added cooking wine, Marinate the ribs in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar for twenty minutes.
After the pickling is completed, heat the oil in a pan, add rock sugar and refine until it forms micro bubbles, then add the ribs and stir-fry until both sides are golden brown, add a little salt and spices, reduce the juice over high heat, sprinkle some white sesame seeds on top and it is ready to serve. .
Ye Qingge had just finished cooking the ribs, and ran over after smelling the vanilla. She was really reminded that she had never smelled such a fragrant smell. Ye Qingge looked at her greedy look, so he picked a piece of ribs first. Gave it to her.
"Hmm~ That's great." Vanilla couldn't even speak clearly as she ate the freshly cooked pork ribs, which made Ye Qingge giggle.
In her previous life, Ye Qingge had always lived by herself, until she later went to the orphanage and brought Xiaoyun back. She occasionally lived with Xiaoyun, but she still cooked her own meals, and her cooking skills were still good after many years.
Ye Qingge put the ribs in the pot to warm, and then cooked the steamed seabass.
Steamed seabass is relatively simple to make. Ye Qingge picked two seabass and washed them, then removed the internal organs, cut both sides of the fish body with a knife, then spread cooking wine on both sides of the seabass evenly, sprinkled with salt, green onions, and shredded ginger.
Of course, the fish belly should also be stuffed with shredded ginger and green onions.
Next, he started to boil water. Ye Qingge put the prepared fish into the steamer and steamed it for about ten minutes after the water boiled.
Looking at the fish being steamed, Ye Qingge started to make the sauce. She poured two spoons of soy sauce, one spoon of vinegar, a little salt, sugar and half a bowl of water into the bowl, and stirred evenly. Only to take out the steamed fish at the end.
Put it on a plate, put on shredded carrots and green onions, pour the prepared sauce, and drizzle with hot oil.
Soon the steamed seabass was ready, and the rice was steamed. Ye Qingge stir-fried two side dishes and made a soup.
Today's dishes are large because Ye Qingge misses Lin'er and the others. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion also has food, Ye Qingge also cooked their portions when cooking. At this time, she divided half of the dishes and rice, and put
Heat it in a pot, and when the herbs are finished, have her take it to the church.
Hearing Ye Qingge say it was time to eat, Xianghua and Lan'er hurried over to help, setting up tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks, and preparing to eat. But Zhou Quan, Zhou Yang and Lan'er still refused to eat with Ye Qingge, and Ye Qingge immediately
He ordered Xiang Xiang to divide the food, and they sat aside to eat.
"Wow, the eldest lady's cooking is delicious!" Lan'er ate a piece of pork ribs, which was simply too delicious.
"Yeah, it's delicious." Zhou Yang, who was always silent, praised him repeatedly after eating a piece of fish.
"Miss, Lan'er thanks you for your kindness!" Suddenly, Lan'er, who was still eating, knelt down in front of Ye Qingge with a plop.
Ye Qingge: What kind of trouble is this? A piece of ribs almost got stuck in her throat.
"Miss, in the past two days, you have seen your kindness to slaves Lan'er and kept it in your heart. No one has ever been so kind to slaves before. Even Lan'er's family had to buy Lan'er in order to survive.
Yes, but the eldest lady is indeed very good to Lan'er, and Lan'er is really grateful to the eldest lady for her kindness!"
Seeing Lan'er kneeling down and crying, Zhou Quan and Zhou Yang also knelt down in front of Ye Qingge.
"Miss, before you came, we were the lowest servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Later, Madam chose us to serve you in another courtyard. At that time, I heard others said that you and the young master are from the village. They are not only vulgar and ugly, but also
You are irritable, foolish and silly. But after spending two days with you, I really feel that you are a good person." Although Zhou Yang could not speak, he still said a lot.
Ye Qingge didn't expect that she had only cooked a few dishes, and it was an unexpected surprise to impress these people.
"Everyone, get up. I don't have many rules here. As long as you abide by your duties and do your best, I, Ye Qingge, will not treat you badly!"
"Lan'er thanks the eldest lady. Lan'er will serve the eldest lady and the young master with all his heart from now on, without any second thoughts!" Lan'er said and kowtowed to Ye Qingge twice before getting up.
After arriving here, Lan'er truly felt the warmth. In fact, what she said was meant not only for Ye Qingge but also for herself. She finally met a good master.
"Slave too, I will serve my master with all my heart," Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan also said immediately.
"Okay, I already know everyone's thoughts. Let's eat quickly. The dishes are already cold," Ye Qingge said.
In fact, Ye Qingge didn't pay much attention to what the three of them said. After all, they were sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion. We have to wait and see whether they are good or not. It is too early to draw a conclusion now.
With Lan'er and the others having an interlude, it was already late after dinner. Lan'er was responsible for cleaning up the kitchen, and Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan also went to their own business. Ye Qingge hurriedly asked Xiang Xiang to bring the warm food in the pot to Go to the church.
I don’t know if these little guys have eaten, but Ye Qingge is still a little worried. But now that I know it, I should eat it no matter what!
But the facts proved that Ye Qingge was wrong!
