Chapter 1668 So Delicious
Breakfast was as rich and varied as ever.
This is of course thanks to the hard work of the old housekeeper.
Although both Tang Feng and Lin Mu once told the old housekeeper that there are not many people eating at home now, and they are all family members, and there are not so many people who are particular about it. There is no need to prepare such a wide variety of breakfasts, he can also Take it easy.
But the old housekeeper refused.
He has been a housekeeper all his life, and he is conscientious and considers everything carefully.
Naturally, he has his own reasons for being so insistent.
As the steward of the five major families, the old butler is not someone who can do this job. If he had not been outstanding, he would not have received such high regard, and he would have been firmly in this position. So many years.
There were many things that he needed to take care of in the Lin family, and he was almost too busy every day. But as he and Lin Mengjia came to Pingyang, the old housekeeper felt that he had become more leisurely.
There are not so many things to deal with every day, so preparing three meals a day has become an important thing for him.
At the beginning, when we were at Yunjing Bay, we only had to feed Lin Mengjia and the little girl every day. Sometimes, when Lin Mengjia was busy with work and only the little girl had breakfast at home, the old housekeeper would prepare several things. According to his words For example, if the little girl doesn't like the food he prepares that day, she will not be full. If there are more choices, there will always be something she likes.
But to be honest, the little girl didn't like to eat at first, but it had nothing to do with the old housekeeper's cooking skills. At that time, she was relatively weak, and her spleen and stomach were weak, and her digestion was not good, so she naturally lost her appetite. .
Fortunately, after Tang Feng came back, he changed the little girl's physique. She had a huge appetite and loved to eat almost everything. With the effect of taking a bath, her body also quickly became stronger.
Of course, these old housekeepers didn't know it at the time, and thought it was because the little girl liked to eat the food she made.
Now that we are here at the manor, the old housekeeper has more people under his command, and there are more people who can help him with things. It is impossible for him to do worse than before. This breakfast style is naturally more abundant.
Wontons, hot noodle soup, pan-fried buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks... A table was set up. People who didn't know it saw it and thought they were entering a self-service breakfast shop.
Tang Feng looked at it and couldn't help but smile.
He knew in his heart that the place where they were now was far away from the city, and it was not easy to purchase. The old butler had to prepare these, but it would take more effort than when he was in Dongcheng Hao Pavilion before.
He nodded towards the old butler and said, "Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Mengjia also followed: "Uncle Zhang, it takes a lot of time to prepare so many styles every day, right? How can I feel good about you working so hard?"
"It's not hard, it's not hard. As long as you are happy eating, everything I do will be worth it." A smile appeared on the old housekeeper's face.
Often people in his position don't care about hard work or how hard they work. What they fear most is that they don't get recognition for their hard work. Now that Tang Feng has recognized his efforts, he In my heart, it really felt like eating honey.
Mother Lin's taste has always been relatively light. She just drinks a bowl of porridge and eats some snacks every day. Today is the same as before, sitting at the table, holding a bowl of porridge, taking a mouthful of porridge with a spoon, and putting it in In the mouth.
As soon as the porridge was eaten, a look of surprise flashed across Mother Lin's eyes, and she turned towards the old housekeeper and said, "Old Zhang, did you put anything in the porridge you made today that you don't usually have?"
"Madam, what's wrong?" When the old housekeeper heard this, he stepped forward nervously, for fear that something might go wrong with the breakfast he had prepared.
Especially when he looked at Mother Lin, this problem seemed to be quite serious.
This made the old housekeeper extremely nervous. Tang Feng and Lin Mengjia had just finished praising him. Could it be that they were going to be slapped in the face so soon?
Mother Lin still had a look of surprise on her face as she took another sip of the porridge, sipping it carefully in her mouth, and nodded slightly. There was a strange feeling in her mouth, and she said again: "Fragrance, It's sweet, and it has a different taste in your mouth. It's as if, after drinking tea, your whole body feels comfortable. I've never tasted such delicious porridge before. It's so delicious. In your porridge today, Did you put something special in there? Or has your approach changed?"
Mother Lin had a smile on her lips, and her words were full of intoxication. She cast her gaze on the bowl, as if this bowl of porridge had huge magic power, making her want to drink it all immediately, in one breath. Then, serve another bowl.
However, after all, Mother Lin had a good upbringing, and her status did not allow her to do this. She could only endure it, and kept drinking the porridge slowly as before, but... It has changed from a small mouth before to a big mouth.
"This - I didn't put anything extra, it was just white rice boiled with water. I remember that madam, you only like to drink this kind of clear porridge and don't like to add anything to it. How could I add ingredients to it without permission? As for this method, the porridge is just cooked slowly over low heat. I’m afraid it’s done this way all over the world, so how can it be any different?”
The old housekeeper himself also looked puzzled.
However, hearing that Mrs. Lin meant to praise the deliciousness of his porridge, rather than having any problems with it, he felt much more relaxed, with a smile on his face, and then said: "Madam, if you think it tastes good, , just drink more, there are some over there, I'm wondering, is it because your health is getting better now and your appetite is better, so whatever you eat tastes good?"
Mother Lin shook her head and said, "Although it is possible, it is not entirely the case."
While Mother Lin was talking to the old housekeeper, Lin Mengjia's aunt had already brought over a bowl of hot noodles.
In this hot noodle soup, the noodles are even in thickness, and the soup is clear and exudes a fragrance when you smell it. This is definitely not the result of seasoning, but the noodle soup is carefully cooked, and the ingredients on the noodles are... Topped with thin shreds of meat and green vegetables, and sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onion and coriander, the appearance alone will make people appetite.
When Lin's mother was talking to the old housekeeper just now, Lin Mengjia's aunt did not start eating because the noodle soup was a bit hot. When it was ready to eat, she picked it up with chopsticks and ate it.
After taking a bite of the noodles, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and blurted out: "This noodles is so delicious!"
