Chapter 236 Famous Dishes in the Capital City

That's what he said, but this group of people didn't even know the location of Guang Enbo's mansion. It was Wu Changfeng who went to the city to ask acquaintances before sending them there.

The concierge of Uncle Guang En's Mansion was yawning and staring at the bluestone tiles on the ground one by one in boredom. This was his daily activity.

While in a daze, he vaguely heard movement coming from the corner. He subconsciously stood up and stretched out his head curiously, only to see a group of people slowly walking towards him.

The concierge was stunned and stared at the visitor without blinking.

Wu Changfeng signaled the others to stop, stepped forward and asked, "Brother, this is Uncle Guang En's Mansion, right?"

The porter nodded in confusion and replied politely: "Our master is not in the capital. What can I do for you?"

Wu Changfeng was not surprised at all. He pointed at the carriage and whispered: "Your master is back."

Yang Datou was the first to lift the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and find someone to help!"

The concierge finally reacted and shouted to the house, "Butler Song! Butler Song"

Song Fu thought something had happened when he heard the concierge yelling, and rushed out anxiously. When he saw Yang Datou and his party, he was dumbfounded.

The porter hurriedly said: "Butler, the eldest young master, this is the eldest young master!"

Song Fu immediately noticed the carriage, his face tightened, and he hurried over to salute.

Yang Datou's teeth chattered and he motioned for him to get up, "Hurry up and ask the people in the house to clean up the room and get some hot water for food. It's freezing cold today!"

Song Fu did not dare to delay and hurried to help.

After a while, Jiang Ning finally drank the hot tea. She held the teacup in both hands and looked at the tea in her hands with treasure. She was so moved that her eyes filled with tears, "I have finally recovered!"

After sighing, she turned her eyes to Song Fu, "Are you the housekeeper arranged by Mr. Huang? What is your name?"

Song Fu hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Back to my uncle, it was Mr. Huang who bought the young Song Fu and asked him to take care of the entire Guang En residence."

Hearing the title uncle, Jiang Ning frowned subconsciously, "I still prefer you to call me madam. By the way, who else is there in the house besides you and the concierge?"

Song Fu hurriedly reported the situation in the mansion in detail, "There are only four people in the mansion, a concierge, a cook, and a maid who cleans the house. If Madam feels that the manpower is not small enough, you can call someone to help." Come here and buy some more.”

Jiang Ning shook his head, "That's just right. Later, you can ask the cook to boil more hot water. We need to take a bath."

They haven't bathed for a long time since they entered the northern border. The weather in the north is cold and dry. It feels like their bodies are shedding a layer of skin after not bathing for so long. It's really uncomfortable.

She explained everything before looking at Wu Changfeng, "Do you want to live in the mansion?"

Wu Changfeng shook his head decisively, "Auntie, we have to **** the **** back. Let's leave quickly before the road is closed. If we are late, we won't be able to return to Quzhou Mansion."

Jiang Ning knew that what he said was true, so he stopped trying to persuade them to stay and asked the housekeeper to prepare enough dry food for them.

The whole family took a comfortable bath and finally recovered.

Yang Datou teased his son and handed the child to Jiang Ning, "Mom, I'll make whatever you want to eat." "I'll go too!" Liu Ye competed with Yang Datou all the way, but she became somewhat interested in cooking. .

Jiang Ning was not polite to them and directly ordered a few famous dishes from the capital that she had never been taught.

The couple happily went to the kitchen.

When the cook saw them, they were so frightened that they couldn't move. Seeing that the two wanted to cook by themselves, she immediately knelt down with a plop and asked tremblingly: "Master, Madam, is it too difficult for this servant to cook something?" have eaten?"

Yang Datou and his wife were stunned for a moment, and quickly asked her to get up, "We came to the capital for the cooking competition. We will cook from time to time in the future, so you don't have to worry about it."

The cook breathed a sigh of relief and felt her back was wet when she stood up.

Just as Yang Datou was about to take action, he immediately frowned and asked the cook: "What are the famous dishes in the capital?"

"Famous dishes? Speaking of famous dishes, the top ten most famous dishes in Beijing are roast duck, hot-boiled mutton, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, braised shark's fin, stir-fried fish fillets, sea cucumbers roasted with green onion, three-no-stick, it's like honey, Casserole with white meat and horse lotus meat." The cook reported some dishes that she knew were commonly used to entertain guests in the homes of dignitaries.

Yang Datou felt dizzy after hearing this, and Liu Ye was even more confused, "What do San Bu Zhan and its honey-like lotus meat mean?"

The cook smiled slightly and explained respectfully: "The three non-sticks are non-stick to plates, non-stick to chopsticks and non-stick to teeth. Commonly known as sweet-scented osmanthus eggs, they are made by stir-frying eggs, starch, sugar and water. They are golden in color and sweet in taste. , a must-have signature dish in every major restaurant in the capital.

It is like honey, which is honey-glazed mutton. Make lamb tenderloin slices with sweet noodle sauce and wet starch slurry. Fry in oil until white. Change the oil and add the prepared gravy. Stir quickly to coat the tenderloin with the gravy. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve. , the finished dish looks like fresh apricots, red in color, bright in juice, soft in texture, sweet as honey, with a slightly sour aftertaste.

When making horse lotus meat, the meat is tied with horse lotus grass, so the meat has the fragrance of horse lotus. It is a cold dish with wine. The meat is rotten and has a strong flavor, and is served with crystal aspic. It is cool and refreshing. The slave is lucky enough to have After eating it once, it is indeed a good drink with wine, so it is quite popular among dignitaries. This dish can often be seen in restaurants and pubs. "

The cook is not a great chef, she just worked as a cook in a wealthy family all her life, so she knows a little bit about it.

Yang Datou was very grateful to her for providing so much information. However, although he knew the name and characteristics of the dish, he did not know the specific method and had not tasted it. He really didn't know how to start.

“Why are you hesitating? You’ll know everything after a trip to Yongtai Restaurant!” Jiang Ning stood at the door of the kitchen and said casually.

Everyone turned around and saw that she was wrapped up tightly, with only one eye exposed.

The cook quickly saluted.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly towards her, walked straight to the stove and sat down, warming himself by the fire, "It's really cold in the capital today. Before I get used to it, I don't plan to take the kitchen knife anymore. Take the money and go to the restaurant to order some. Let’s try a famous dish and pack another one for me. Also, buy some tea and beef and sheep.”

After finishing speaking, she noticed that her hands had become much warmer. She stared at the flames in the stove with a crazy expression and murmured to herself, "It's still warm here. I won't leave. Hurry up!"

Yang Datou and Liu Ye woke up from their dreams and were about to go out.

Tian Feng and his boy Shitou came over with cheerful steps, "Auntie! I'm here!"

Stone was startled by the shout and almost tripped over the threshold.

Jiang Ning moved when he heard the sound, stretched his neck, and smiled at the two people who came in, "Afeng! Why did you come so fast? Come over and warm up together. Why is it so scary in this capital! My tense nerves relaxed. , almost fainted from the cold.”

 Shitou frowned subconsciously. His young master was a bit of a germaphobe. Why did Uncle Guang En treat guests so well?
