Chapter 456

After a while, Madam Bai came back, but it was so fast that in order not to delay the lady's work, Madam Bai used her fastest speed. She handed the lettuce she brought to Xiaoxingtao and asked her to wash and cut it. She could stir-fry the lettuce and apricot peach. Soon, a simple lunch of meat, vegetables and rice was prepared.

Gao Xi also asked Cui Youyou to find out where his father is now. Cui Youyou went to ask the servant who was guarding the door of his father's yard. The servant said that the master was in "Zhuyuan" and did not go to "Meiyuan". Because Wen happened to take Gao Hongming out to listen to the opera, Prime Minister Gao had dinner in "Zhuyuan".

God really helped me. Without those two troublemakers, Gao Xi felt that she was closer to success and victory was in sight. Gao Xi brought Cui Youyou, who was full, and asked her to do more things and digest. After eating so much meat, she didn't walk around and digest it. Her stomach was very uncomfortable. She asked Cui Youyou to serve the rice with a pot of pork rice, and the two of them slowly walked to the "Zhuyuan". Along the way, Gao Xi also covered the plate with a lid. When he arrived at the "Zhuyuan", the meat on the plate was hot.

Gao Xi and Cui Youyou were patiently waiting for the "Zhuyuan" gatehouse to report, and followed the servant who came out to lead the way into "Zhuyuan". At this time, Prime Minister Gao was preparing to have lunch. Prime Minister Gao heard that his second daughter was coming, and was surprised. Last time Gao Xi came again, he brought delicious Babao duck, and this time he came over at lunch time. Is it also for the sake of bringing delicious food?

Gao Xi saw his father again and greeted him, "Hello, father? My daughter made the freshest pot of meat and fried ice cubes today." Prime Minister Gao was a little happy when he heard this, "I heard that this name is interesting. Can this ice cube be fried? Will it taste delicious if it is fried? I have never heard of this dish."

"It's right that I haven't heard of this dish. This is my own dish. It's unique. There will never be any outside. If you try it, do you know if the ice is delicious?" Gao Xi said again and signaled Cui Youyou to present the meat buns and not give Prime Minister Gao a chance to refuse. "Father, please try it. Father, please use it slowly. Don't worry. The ice inside has turned into a pile of water during the frying process. Don't bite it directly with your mouth. This is similar to eating a soup bun. First poke it with chopsticks, wait until the water inside flows out, and then slowly cool down before entering."

It was hard to refuse the affection. Prime Minister Gao picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of it and put it into his bowl. He poked it with the chopsticks, and some ice water was indeed flowing out. After a while, the Prime Minister picked up the pot of meat and put it into his mouth. The fragrance of oranges, the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, and the fragrance of fresh fried tenderloin filled the whole mouth.

This ice cube seems to have no effect in the inside of the tenderloin, but after the ice melts, it adds a tenderloin to the tenderloin, which makes the tenderloin crisper on the outside and more tender inside, complementing each other. A seemingly useless trick makes the pork cubes unprecedentedly delicious. In addition, the special sweet and sour sauce seasoning method is incomparable to ordinary sugar and vinegar.

The Prime Minister was very satisfied and nodded, "It's not bad. This new method can really make this pot of pork with pork taste better. Tell me, bringing such good food this time, what do you want to ask for? As long as it is not too much, I can agree to you."

Gao Xi was so happy when she heard it again. She worked hard all morning and finally waited for what she wanted to hear the most, "Father, your master in the courtyard is growing so well. When I came in just now, I saw a lot of bamboo shoots growing. It seems that it is going to grow a lot of Hsinchu."

Prime Minister Gao raised his eyebrows, "What, do you want to dig bamboo shoots to fry? It turns out that you are trying to make my bamboo shoots?"

"My father misunderstood. I saw that there were so many bamboo shoots growing, so there would naturally be a lot of Hsinchu. So should I cut the old bamboo? Leave some space for these freshly baked bamboo shoots to survive?" Gao Xi went around again and didn't dare to say directly that she just liked the bamboos of her father, so she wanted to cut a part of them directly, and talk about the fact that Hsinchu bamboo shoots had no place to grow.

Prime Minister Gao was not fooled. He was originally a cunning old fox. "What do you want to do, just say it."

Gao Xi heard that this smart father was not easy to fool, "Father, I need some bamboo to make arched doors in the garden. The bamboo outside is a bit expensive now. Can you tell me if you can cut some of the bamboo in your bamboo garden for me? Anyway, those new bamboo shoots will grow."

Prime Minister Gao was not very happy. His children were really bold and whimsical. They made their plans to the bamboo in his bamboo garden. These were his treasures. They always like to sit under the bamboo when they are fine and draw bamboos to take a cool breeze. Why did they make plans to the bamboo garden?

"Father, my budget is not enough. Where can I spend such a large amount of money? Don't blame my daughter for spending money like water. Before I came, the things in "Lanyuan" were old and old, and they really needed a big renovation. I couldn't get any effect without spending money. I also wanted to restore "Lanyuan" to the glory of my mother's lifetime, so I asked my father to support me. My daughter was used to suffering since childhood and was unwilling to spend money in the mansion. After all, the money in the mansion did not fall from the sky."

Prime Minister Gao looked at the plate of tenderloin in front of him and suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. This was the first time in more than ten years. He had never asked about his second daughter since he was born. Although he didn't like her very much, there was still a fact that blood relationship was connected. This guilt in his heart and the superb cooking skills he had learned from his daughter's cooking skills since he was a child, he suddenly nodded and agreed.

Gao Xi saw his father nodding again, fearing that his father would suddenly wake up and regret, so he said excitedly to the three provinces, thank you, "Thank you, father, thank you, father for your bamboo." She did not forget to flatter her, "Father is so good, and is also very good to me, so I will invite someone to come and cut the bamboo." After that, he did not give his father a chance to react, and quickly withdrew. Prime Minister Gao looked at the pot of pork in front of him and thought about Gao Xi's expression that was very excited and moved just now, and he subtly experienced the feeling of being needed as a father, but this feeling just flashed by, and he continued to pick up the fragrant pot of pork and pork and taste it.

Gao Xi took Cui Youyou back happily, taking two steps at a time, almost humming a small song while walking. After all, this top-notch problem has been solved. How can you not be happy? Back to "Lanyuan", Gao Xi called Manager Zhang again, "Uncle Zhang, take someone to my father's yard to cut the bamboo needed. At the fastest speed, it will be broken and burned to the fire. There are many processes." "Okay, let's use a carriage to pull some, and let the workers carry it in one or two times, so that all of them can be transported back." Manager Zhang also felt that these things should be fast, don't wait for the master to regret it, and call them to stop, so where will they get the bamboo.

"Manager Zhang, you take Foreman Li and the others to work hard, I will make delicious braised pork trotters for you." Gao Xi suggested that the saliva of Foreman Li, who was waiting for Manager Zhang to give instructed him. This morning, the lady bought them fried dough sticks and meat buns. They all felt very satisfied. He and his brothers were working outside. When they smelled the lady frying the buns of meat, the saliva was almost flowing. When they heard that there were braised pork trotters for a while, they were so excited. Although there were many twenty people, each of them could get such a small piece at most, the soup of braised pork would be so fragrant when it was mixed. This would be fine.

"Brothers, have you heard that? The lady said that she would cut the bamboo, make bamboo strips and make braised pork trotters for us to eat. She would tighten me, cheer up and solve this problem as quickly as possible."

Without waiting for the lady's instructions, Xiao Xingtao was in place automatically and started to help the lady. He consciously and quickly set off the fire, poured clean water, boiled it to boil for the lady to blanch it. Gao Xi cut the four big pig legs into eight sections and put it in water to blanch it. As the hot water boiled, the blood foam from the pig legs slowly came out. He took out the blood with a large spoon and threw it away, and cooked it for half a quarter of an hour. After taking it out, the iron pot was removed and the pig legs were burned directly with a bamboo fork. These pigs were lying on the ground every day, lying and rolling, and there was a layer of smelly oil on the surface of the pig trotters. In this way, the smelly oil came out and it could also burn out the butcher's uncleaned pig hair. Each one was cooked, and the surface was a little black, which was fine.

Gao Xi put the black pig's trotters one by one into a basin of cold water. After soaking for half a quarter of an hour, he used a kitchen knife to scrape the black thing on the surface of the pig's trotter. This layer of things was not difficult to deal with. After a few strokes, Gao Xi cleaned up the pig's trotter and did this action seven times. At this time, these eight sections of pig's trotters were cleanly processed.

Madam Bai was shocked when she watched Gao Xiyou's quick-working skills. She was shocked by the lady many times this morning. Her lady is really a talented person. Although people outside are not proud of being able to cook, only Madam Bai, who is knowledgeable, knows that anyone who says cooking is useless. If you catch a man, you have to catch a man's stomach. It is not a casual talk. It will still be of great use in the future. It is just that it has no effect on your good reputation for the time being.

After cleaning the pig's trotters, you will start chopping these eight sections of pig's trotters into about 32 sections. Only after splitting them can it taste better during the braised process. Wash it, chop it, and wait aside.

Gao Xi skillfully washed the pot again, put oil and sugar, and fry the sugar color. After the sugar color turned into a maroon, put these eight pieces of pork trotters. This pot is not a super big pot, and it is impossible to finish it at one time. "Xiao Xingtao, learn some, I will stir-fry it out in one pot, and you continue to make the rest slowly. I have made the dishes for a day today, so I am so exhausted." Gao Xi could no longer withstand this high-frequency cooking method. It was complicated and large, so it would be better to make some for Xiao Xingtao, so she would not have worked so hard.

While stir-frying, the sugar color was put on the pork trotters. After the sugar color was put on, the water was put inside. The water would be gone. After the water was added, the green onions, ginger, and soy sauce were added first. Gao Xi did not have any green onions or ginger here. I forgot to buy them. Gao Xi felt that it was too troublesome to ask the people in the kitchen, so he asked Cui Youyou to use her good skills to get the green onions and ginger in the kitchen and come back smoothly.

After adding onion, ginger and soy sauce, and adding some cooking wine to remove the fragrance, Gao Xi felt that craftsmen must like the taste of wine, so they added a few spoons of cooking wine and finally put a five-spice bag made by Gao Xi himself. The five-spice bag contains a lot of spices, including star anise, fennel, cinnamon, orange peel, hawthorn, dried ginger, bay leaves, pepper, licorice, angelica... There are many ingredients in this spice bag that were taken from the pharmacy. Yesterday, Gao Xi told Manager Zhang to go to the pharmacy to catch them. Manager Zhang thought Gao Xi was uncomfortable again and needed to grab medicine at the pharmacy. He heard that this was a spice bag, but he was shocked for a long time and did not close it.

Cover the lid, simmer slowly over low heat, stew for half an hour, and finally open the lid of the pot and put some salt. Use chopsticks to gently poke the braised pig's feet and put it on the plate. It was soft and fresh and fragrant, and the fragrance was particularly attractive. The braised ingredients in the pot continued to be placed there, and Xiao Xingtao took over Gao Xiyou's work. Xiao Xingtao looked at the braised process very seriously, so there was no problem in making it. Gao Xi fulfilled his promise again, ate a piece of pig's trotter and half a bowl of rice, and crawled back to the boudoir to sleep. He was so tired that it was busy from dawn to afternoon and it was almost dinner time.

Gao Xi was sleeping soundly again, and the craftsmen were busy. If anyone was lazy and wanted to stop and rest, it would be like a heinous crime, "Don't want to eat pig's trotters anymore? Then don't eat it later, give me that piece." He would be criticized by other craftsmen, and there would be no need for Foreman Li to call him. After spending an afternoon, Xiao Xingtao finished all the pig's trotters. Although he was a little tired, he would be the braised pig's trotter rice later. Don't mention how beautiful he felt.

In the afternoon, the craftsmen cut the bamboo and transported it back to the "lanyuan". They also broke the bamboo directly into the size required, and roasted it over fire to force out the excess water, so that the arch can be created at that time.

After finishing the work, the craftsmen happily ate a pork-foot rice in "Lanyuan". Although each person divided a small piece, the marinated rice made them praise it, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Gao Xi didn't care. She slept until the next morning, and she saved her rush to leave.

Gao Xi is also legendary about his brother. He has never revealed his feelings since Gao Xi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long. The reason he gave was to study at Qingshan Academy and not have time to rest in the academy for vacation. Therefore, Gao Chenyang has been studying hard in the academy, and he has the image of learning in front of his father. The Prime Minister did not feel sad about him because he did not come back to see his sister at first sight.
