In the blink of an eye, it was Eunuch Hua's birthday.
As mentioned in the top hundred, this old eunuch Hua was naturally also the emperor's favorite person, with a high position and authority.
As long as a eunuch had money and power, he would take in a nephew.
After all, even a eunuch needed someone to give him a bell when he was old.
Eunuch Hua's nephew was Hua Zixu.
Eunuch Hua was old and retired from the palace. He brought his nephew to his hometown, Yanggu County, and settled down in Purple Cloud Lane.
As for Li Ping 'er, it was quite complicated.
Li Ping 'er was actually the concubine of Secretary Liang of the Daming Manor.
Later on, Li Kui had killed the entire Liang family at the Emerald Cloud Brothel. Li Ping 'er had taken advantage of the chaos to bring a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and a foster mother to Bianliang, Tokyo.
Later, he met Eunuch Hua and betrothed Li Ping 'er to his nephew, Hua Zixu.
In any case, this was the description in " A Certain Ping Mei ". As for the actual situation, Wu Zhi did not know.
Even if it was bad, it wouldn't be too bad.
Anyway, today was Eunuch Hua's birthday, so Wu Zhi had already made preparations.
Yesterday, Li Ping 'er's maid Xiu Chun came again and told Wu Zhi the time of the birthday banquet.
Wu Zhi didn't plan to make double-egg pancakes in the shop. Instead, he brought his tools and went straight to the Hua Mansion.
To be honest, if it wasn't for business, Wu Zhi really didn't want to go to the Hua Manor.
After all, he had a conflict with Hua Zixu before.
If Hua Zixu still hated Wu Zhi, then it would be quite troublesome.
However, Hua Zixu probably wouldn't go to the kitchen. As long as Wu Zhi didn't wander around, he wouldn't bump into that kid.
Wu Zhi handed the shop over to Pan Jinlian and Brother Yun and went to the kitchen of the Hua Mansion.
As expected of a rich family. The kitchen was really big. It looked like it was 70 to 80 square meters.
There were two rooms. The outer room was used to process the ingredients, while the inner room was used to cook.
The chef in charge of the kitchen was called Zhang Fu. He was a brawny martial arts student with a particularly big head and looked rather dignified.
He was quite cold to Wu Zhi and ignored him.
This was normal. Zhang Fu was considered a slightly famous chef in this place. He did not understand why the main character would find an outsider to cook.
"Master Zhang, which furnace is empty?" Let me use it."
Zhang Fu snorted coldly and did not say anything.
Wu Zhi raised his eyebrows. Aiya ha, this kid is still putting on airs.
At this moment, the maid Xiuchun came in.
"Boss Wu, can we start?"”
Wu Zhi was about to open his mouth when he saw Zhang Fu pointing at a fire and saying,"Let Boss Wu do it there.”
Wu Zhi looked at Zhang Fu and then at Xiuchun and said,"You can start now."
Xiuchun nodded, but she didn't plan to leave.
Obviously, Li Ping 'er was still worried and wanted to see what kind of fresh food Wu Zhi could make.
Wu Zhi began to make arrangements.
Wu Zhi first placed a large iron pot on the fire, then placed a few pots with lids on the table.
This meant that he was ready.
Then, Wu Zhi began to put vegetable oil into the big iron pot. He put half a pot of oil.
Zhang Fu watched coldly from the side, wondering if this short, fat, and ugly Boss Wu wanted to make fried food.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, fried food was not uncommon.
Zhang Fu began to work on the chopping board again. He placed the prepared dough on the chopping board and kneaded it into a long piece. Then, he cut it into small pieces and stretched it out...
Zhang Fu was confused. What was this kid doing?
Xiuchun also felt that it was strange. She had a rough understanding of cooking, but she had never seen such a cooking method.
At this moment, the oil pot heated up.
He saw Wu Zhi directly put a small strip of noodles into the pot of oil steadily.
The pot of oil began to boil.
Then, Wu Zhi released the second message, the third message…
"Boss Wu, what are you doing?"”
Wu Zhi smiled and said,"This is called youtiao. Making this is the first step in my cooking."?”
Not long after, that small piece of dough actually swelled up! It became a big one.
This stunned Zhang Fu and Xiuchun.
Zhang Fu's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never seen such a thing before.
Although the fried dough sticks looked simple, there were actually quite a lot of ingredients in the dough.
Cooking oil, eggs, starter (yeast), and milk.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the people did not have the habit of drinking milk. Wu Zhi did not find any milk, but he did find some goat's milk.
A moment later, a loose and soft youtiao was out of the pot.
When Wu Zhi took out the youtiao, the whole room was filled with the fragrance.
Xiuchun's eyes widened. She felt that Boss Wu was too amazing.
This youtiao was really unheard of and unheard of!
"Boss Wu, is this what you call rare food?"”
Wu Zhi laughed and said,"Miss Xiuchun, don't worry. This is just a part of the food."”
