Chapter 497 I will cook for her every day
Nanny Li said, "To answer your Majesty, I haven't heard any other news yet."
"Well, continue to send people to keep an eye on it." said the Queen.
"Yes," replied Nanny Li.
At the gate of the villa, Shen Ruolan treated everyone for an hour, then got up and left on time. The remaining patients were treated by Shen Hui.
She went back home and cooked boiled fish which was popular among the people.
Wan Dong followed behind her to help. Seeing Shen Ruolan took out a lot of strange bottles, she held one of them and asked her, "Madam, what are in these bottles? The smell is quite strange."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and sniffed a bottle of red powder. Unexpectedly, she inhaled chili powder by accident, which made her yawn continuously.
Shen Ruolan looked at Wan Dong who was choked by the chili powder. She said helplessly, "Dong'er, these are seasonings for cooking. You can't keep them so close."
After Wan Dong recovered, she looked at her master with tears in her eyes and replied, "Master, I understand."
Ji Ning came in with the washed fish and asked, "Master, do you want to cut the fish or should I?"
When it comes to knife skills, Ji Ning is not as good as her master, so that's why she asked this question.
Shen Ruolan took the fish and said, "Let me do it."
Although there are many cooks in the kitchen, Shen Ruolan likes to do it herself since she wants to cook the dishes.
"Yes," Ji Ning said, she put the fish down and went to wash other vegetables.
Wan Dong followed her and said, "Ji Ning, what do you want to do? I'll help you."
Although Wan Dong was also serving Shen Ruolan, the master and servant had been separated for a long time, and the tacit understanding between them was much worse than that between Ji Ning and Shen Ruolan.
Ji Ning turned around and smiled at Wan Dong and said, "It's just washing some vegetables."
Wan Dong said: "Let's go together."
"Okay," Ji Ning responded and started to get busy.
In the kitchen, Shen Ruolan washed the fish, separated the meat and bones, cut it, marinated it, and then prepared some seasonings. After making sure everything was correct, she asked someone to start the fire and cook the vegetables that Ji Ning and the others had washed.
Shen Ruolan looked at the few kinds of vegetables in the wooden basin and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Although this was the capital city, the variety of vegetables was not as rich as in her Fuzhai.
She couldn't buy bean sprouts, the most indispensable side dish for boiled fish, here. She did grow some herself, but they were inedible within three to five days.
The only thing to be thankful for is that her tofu can be made anytime and anywhere. This time, it can be said to be the best side dish for boiled fish.
Next were the potatoes she brought with her, and the rest were bought from outside by the steward of the villa, along with some large and small cabbages, spinach, etc., which were enough to make do with.
After Shen Ruolan cooked the vegetables, she heated oil in another pan and fried the fish bones until both sides were golden brown. She then added the ginger and garlic she had prepared and stir-fried them until fragrant.
Then add some appropriate amount of soy sauce, salt, pepper powder, etc., stir-fry until well-flavored, add clean water and boil the fish bones for three to five minutes, scoop out the cooked fish bones and put them on the side dishes that have just been cooked.
Then put the sashimi into the fish soup and cook for two to three minutes. Finally, scoop the meat and soup into a ceramic bowl. Heat some oil, add some dried chili segments and Sichuan peppercorns and pour them into the ceramic bowl. Sprinkle with a thin layer of chopped green onions. In this way, a large pot of fragrant boiled fish is ready.
Wan Dong had never seen fish eaten in this way. She looked at the large pot of boiled fish that looked delicious, swallowed her saliva, and said to Shen Ruolan with admiration: "Master, I didn't expect you could cook."
The previous master stayed quietly in the yard every day and never went anywhere. Even if the kitchen withheld her food, she never mentioned cooking for herself separately and always endured it silently.
When Wan Dong thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her master. At the same time, she instantly understood why she risked her life to escape from the palace, because at that time, she had no self in her life at all.
Compared to before, she prefers this master who is confident, calm, and full of vitality.
Shen Ruolan looked at Wan Dong who was like a greedy little cat. She smiled at her and said, "Go get a bowl. I'll save some for you guys to try."
The fish she cooked today weighed six kilograms, so it was not a problem at all to share some with the little girls.
After Wan Dong heard what her master said, she looked at her with a surprised expression and asked, "Master, is it really possible?"
Don’t blame Wandong for being unruly. She was so greedy when she saw the tempting fish.
However, she quickly came back to her senses and said to Shen Ruolan hesitantly, "Master, I'm afraid this is not a good idea."
The masters haven't eaten yet, so why should it be their turn to serve as maids?
Shen Ruolan said: "What's wrong with that? There's so much fish meat that we can't finish it all."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she urged her, "Go get a big bowl."
"Yes, master." After hearing what her master said, Wan Dong responded happily.
In the dining room, when Shen Ruolan came over with a large pot of boiled fish, Shen Hui had already returned to his room and changed his clothes. As soon as Shen Ruolan entered the room, he sniffed and said, "Hmm, that's the familiar smell."
Seeing her cousin like this, Shen Ruolan smiled and joked to him, "If Third Cousin really likes my cooking skills, let Xiaofan learn from me in the future. This way, it will be convenient for you to eat when you want to."
Ding Xiaofan, who came in with the dishes, blushed and said after hearing what Shen Ruolan said, "Sister Lan, you are making fun of me again."
She wanted to cook for the young master for the rest of her life, but her status was not qualified!
When Ding Xiaofan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel worried. Now she was all alone, and she really didn't know what to do in the future.
After Shen Hui heard what Shen Ruolan said, he glanced at Ding Xiaofan and said to Shen Ruolan with a smile: "Sister Lan, forget about letting Xiaofan learn. You should teach me in person in the future."
Ding Xiaofan felt a little disappointed after hearing what Shen Hui said, but she hid it very well. Just when she was about to say something, she heard Shen Hui suddenly say, "When I learn it, I will cook it for her every day."
Shen Hui's sudden words startled Ding Xiaofan so much that he slipped his hand and almost knocked over the dish he was holding.
Fortunately, Shen Qi was quick-witted. He took the dish from Ding Xiaofan's hand, glared at his grandson, and said unhappily, "What are you talking about, little brat?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ding Xiaofan and said, "Ding girl, don't listen to his nonsense. He is so dishonest all day long."
Ding Xiaofan blushed and nodded to Shen Qi, "Grandpa Shen, I understand."
After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Shen Hui, and quickly found a seat far away from him and sat down.
Shen Hui was not angry when his grandfather said that. He even said to his grandfather with a smile: "Grandpa, why am I not serious? When I learn how to cook, I can cook it for you, too."
