Chapter 141 Something Is Wrong
It was only after entering the kitchen of Ma Mansion that Ji Zhao understood the meaning of the word gap!
She has been to the kitchen of Hongxing Restaurant before, and she was impressed by the six connected stoves, but the kitchen of Ma Mansion is even more spacious and bright!
This kitchen is larger than the entire Shen family courtyard!
In addition to the nine connected hot stoves, there is also a separate steamer area, and even the pastries are divided into areas according to the nature of hot and cold.
As for the food area, it is even more dazzling.
There are all kinds of seasonal vegetables and fruits; there are also two large round tanks with a height of half a person, and fat fish are swinging their tails leisurely in the tank.
"The kitchen in Mafu is really magnificent." After looking at everything in the kitchen, Ji Zhao sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Yao nodded slightly in response, but there was a complicated light intertwined in his eyes.
In recent years, the imperial court has experienced severe droughts; several villages around Dingyuan County have starved to death many people, and the people even sold their children and daughters for a morsel of food; Even the kitchen is twice as big as the courtyard where ordinary people live.
The more Shen Yao thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt.
How can officials who are so greedy for enjoyment care about the life and death of the people?
"Shen Yao, what kind of dishes do you think I should cook?" Ji Zhao stared at the dish area, having a hard time.
After all, the meaning of Northwestern cuisine is too broad. What kind of dishes can she cook to successfully capture Mrs. Ma's favor? She has already made up her mind to open a shop selling snacks in the future. If the snacks she makes can be liked by Mrs. Ma, it will definitely be beneficial to her business in the future.
"A Tao," Shen Yao smiled at her, and said sincerely, "As long as it's your cooking, it's delicious."
puff~
Ji Zhao was amused.
"Although your answer is meaningless, but..." Ji Zhao blinked slyly, "I like your honesty very much."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"I heard from Second Brother You that Mrs. Ma is an authentic Northwesterner." Shen Yao thought for a while and suggested softly, "A Tao, are there many ways to cook mutton?"
"It's quite a lot," Ji Zhao nodded subconsciously, and then asked with a curious smile, "Shen Yao, you mean to use only mutton? But using only one ingredient, wouldn't it be too simple?"
"No." Shen Yao said with a gentle smile, "Using a single ingredient to make several different dishes will show your culinary skills even more!"
"That's right!" Ji Zhao snapped his fingers with a smile, and raised his eyebrows happily.
After choosing the ingredients, Ji Zhao quickly had an idea!
In addition to the roasted whole lamb ordered by Madam Ma, she plans to make another dish of crystal mutton, a dish of lamb chops with cumin, and a dish of lamb sausage with hot pepper.
"Crystal mutton jelly?" After listening to the menu Ji Zhao listed, Shen Yao was very curious.
"Well," Ji Zhao smiled slightly, then quietly moved to Shen Yao's side, stood on tiptoe, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice, "Wait until I make this crystal mutton jelly. , I will definitely give you a taste of the first one~"
The warm breath suddenly came from the ear, Shen Yao nodded subconsciously, but there was a blush on the tip of the ear, and a strange emotion appeared three inches below the navel.
"Shen Yao, are you okay?" Ji Zhao inadvertently caught a glimpse of his face, and subconsciously wanted to reach his forehead, his eyes were full of concern.
It's just that the moment the two of them got close, Ji Zhao also sensed something was wrong.
