The color of fireworks in the kitchen is to adjust all kinds of flavors on the plate. The intention is to cure a great country and never mind cooking small fresh food.

--　"Chefings"

It seems that the people's face cannot be wiped out - especially the people's chief butler's face needs to be taken care of more carefully! Erya, who originally wanted to be a white-collar worker, was suddenly sent to the stove as a chef - although he was also in the inner courtyard, the gap between the white-collar worker and the gray-collar worker is still clear at a glance... Helpless, since you come, let's be at ease, Erya is carrying the reputation of "Black Phoenix" - in fact, it's still a crow - followed the smiling old man to a small courtyard in the back wing...

Erya was shocked when she looked around: "Old man, this is not the kitchen in the inner courtyard, right?" Wherever her eyes were, there were messes, and various kitchen utensils - pots, pans, shovels, spoons, etc. were piled up in a mess, as if the corpses of soldiers were everywhere on the battlefield of killing just now, while the bottles and jars that were originally filled with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were full of dirt...

Erya coughed twice: "That... old man, this kitchen seems to have been wasted for a long time, right? Why is it so dilapidated?"

The old man narrowed his eyes: "It's enough to let you in to treat you with preferential treatment, why do you still have to be picky?"

Erya touched her nose embarrassedly: "How dare I! I didn't thank you just now..."

The old man waved his hand: "No need for such a false gift! In the future, you will be the person in the kitchen in the inner courtyard, and you are the only one at the moment..."

"I'm the one?" Erya's eyes almost popped out, "Then no one had cooked for the backyard before?"

"Who said no!" The old man also bulged his eyes, "I used to be the only one who was working on the back... But now I am a little old after all, and I can't do some energy, so the outer and inner courtyards are now put together for dinner..."

Erya pursed her lips and looked embarrassed: "Old man... I have to say it first-I'm not very good at cooking..."

The old man laughed: "Haha! I was so arrogant when I quarreled with me just now. It turned out that I was also a corrupt scholar who was not close to the kitchen..."

Erya said angrily: "Who said she can't cook anymore! You have to let me do it," his voice gradually became smaller, "I can handle it anyway..."

"Do you care?" The old man was stunned, and then laughed, "Are you cooking for people? Or feed pig food!" He looked at Erya who was getting more and more embarrassed, and finally stopped talking, "Well! Just think that I have taken away a little apprentice when I am old - from now on, I will only talk but not move, you can take a spoon..." He said while walking around this kitchen, touching the dust on the stove, "It's really dirty enough! Well, today you are just a newcomer today, so I clean up here first... I'm still working in the inner courtyard, but this small courtyard is cheap... Every day I come to you, you will follow me to learn cooking - I'm very picky! If you don't meet the standards in a month, I will let you sweep the floor and get out!" As he said that, he blew his beard like a quarrel with Erya before... After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Tsk! You awesome... aren't you also a servant! It's like a 20,000 or 50,000 yuan. Humph! I'll tell you to be irritated from now on..." Erya pinched her nose and grimaced at his back indignantly...

After Erya's struggle, the old appearance inside and outside the kitchen finally changed into a new look - the various utensils in the kitchen have changed from soldiers' bodies to elite soldiers waiting to fulfill their appointments; the chopping board and stove are spotless, and there is no longer the sloppy when Erya first met... Erya looked at her battle results with satisfaction and said to herself: "Hehe, the results of often working in a hotel in her previous life are fully revealed here, and it is indeed the most training person for labor!... Of course, this is also the direct manifestation of the intelligence and talent of my jade-faced chef in the world..." It's really a dark person! After staying with that magnanimous old man for a while, Erya couldn't find the north...

After Erya cleaned up the courtyard again, the wing room she wanted to live in was also cleaned up. It was already evening... The old man finally arrived, and he led a few servants behind him - a few carrying various vegetables and some seasonings, as well as rice, flour and diesel, while the remaining one was holding quilts and clothes...

The old man looked at the courtyard and nodded slightly: "Not bad! He is quite neat in his work, and he has the potential to be a chef..."

Send a few servants to put down the things, and the two of them came to the kitchen. The old man lifted the spoon and sighed softly: "Old guy, we've met again..." He turned to Erya and said, "I'll show you a little hand tonight, otherwise you won't be convinced by your inability to learn cooking from me in the future! I don't want to hear you say that I'm just selling my mouth..."

Erya smiled and said, "That relationship is good! I'll see how the old greedy cuckoo was trained..."

The old man laughed and scolded: "You are just awesome! But if you hadn't had a bit of character when you quarrel, I wouldn't have pleaded for you... well! I will start teaching by words today, let's learn to make porridge tonight..."

"Porridge!" Erya looked disappointed, "I thought I could have a big meal! - Why didn't I make some big dishes with flowers for you as a magnificent person?"

The old man smiled, but he didn't think it was offensive, and said, "Don't underestimate the skill of making porridge. The cooking skills often show the big ones from the small, and the taste of three freshness in ordinary places. What's more, the cook can taste the cook's grasp of the heat. The way to cook is not entirely between the five flavors of water and fire! It's difficult to control the heat, and some cooks pursue it all their life just wandering inside and outside the door..."

Seeing that he started talking again, Erya quickly interrupted: "Ha! Master, we can't just talk and practice! Let's see the truth from behind!"

The old man pretended to be angry: "Hmph! I taught you the taste of food, but I even thought I was shady... well! Let's start to learn how to cook the porridge to taste good!"

The old man started to work hard and started to wash rice, and he kept talking nonstop: "The selection of raw materials for porridge is very large, including various rice types, red beans, cloud beans, treks, raw peanuts, melon seeds, candied dates, raisins, lotus seeds, lilies, almonds, cinnamon meat, walnut kernels, pine kernels, chestnuts, red dates, water chestnuts, yam, lotus root... If you put a variety of raw materials in the pot, pay attention to the order, such as beans; the bitter core of lotus seeds should be removed first; the raw almonds and walnut kernels should be soaked in water and peeled away the bitter taste before putting them in the pot; raw peanuts, lotus root, lilies, etc. are the most

Then put it in to maintain a fresh and crispy feeling. It is best to add enough water at once before cooking on the heat, control the ratio of water and rice, and do not add water in the middle, otherwise the porridge will be diluted and thin, which will greatly reduce the viscosity and rich aroma. When cooking bean porridge, beans must not be soaked in water in advance, otherwise it will not be possible to cook it. Before putting the rice, let the beans boil and mix them with cold water several times, so that the beans "stimulate" a few times and it will bloom easily. Then put the rice in." He paused for a moment, "But what we are going to make today is the flavor of Guangdong-Guangzhou - the lean egg porridge of lean meat porridge."

The old man pointed to the washed rice and said, "First of all, the raw materials should be excellent. This is the prerequisite for a good pot of porridge. This porridge requires good rice and lean meat that has been processed with fishy smell. The rice will be marinated with oil and salt first, so that the rice will be slurry. Put a lot of water in the pot and boil it before adding ingredients. Put the meat piece first, slices of ginger, and do not turn off the heat. The meat piece is in boiling water. The outside part is hot and hard, and seals the gravy inside, so that the meat will not be difficult to eat after cooking the porridge. Then wait for the water to boil again and then put the marinated rice and a chopped peeled egg. The first peeled egg is chopped and cooked with the rice. The peeled egg will melt and blend into the taste of the porridge..." Although the old man was still talking on his mouth, his expression showed that he was completely immersed in his food world... and Erya's eyes only had the steaming water vapor and the gradually dissipating aroma...
