Chef
Soyutei
In the salt area, the cooks of large families are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. The first-class cook, who does not carry water on his shoulders, does not touch the noodles with his hands, and even does not need to touch the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The little chef who has just entered the Tao is sparse and pitiful! Under the noses of the chefs and second chefs, they have to work for three years in a regular manner, carrying water, chopping wood, washing vegetables, picking up briquettes, helping the chefs lift boots, hand towels, hold cigarette bags, and pick out their ears and scratch their feet. Maybe one day, a pot of millet porridge is boiled thick and fragrant, or which cage of steamed buns is steamed white and soft and biting, so that the lords, wives, and ladies of the owner eat deliciously.
Liu Gui, the chef of Yang Hongtai's family, the big shopkeeper of Taihe Foreign Bank, a white and chubby little old man, does not seem to be amazing, but he has climbed to the position of chef step by step with his ancestral boiled egg skills, and he has been sitting for decades, and has won the love of several generations of the Yang family.
Every morning, in the Yang family's kitchen, the big pot of porridge and the small pot of soup, when the guys are busy, Chef Liu Gui will come to the kitchen on time. However, at this time, chef Liu Gui did not go to stir-fry and cook. The big pot of rice in the morning doesn't need his chef to get started. He held a hookah in one hand, dressed in casual plain clothes, like a nobody, and looked at the pot in front of the pot, even to encourage the guys. Occasionally, when he found a roll of beans on the ground, or a few missing leaves in the pool, he would bend down and pick them up silently, without blaming anyone, and the guys would naturally blush when they saw it. Because, the owner handed over the affairs in the kitchen to him, and he, Liu Gui, was equivalent to the master of the Yang family, who was not in awe when he saw him. Then, when Liu Gui sat down in the ear room next to him, the young men would bring him a pot of hot tea that had been prepared a long time ago.
At that time, the fire in the ear room had been burned by the young men, and there was a small copper pot the size of a dog's head beside it, scrubbed brightly. Liu Gui used the small copper pot to boil eggs, and while drinking tea, he added charcoal, carefully observed the fire of the food, and patiently cooked a pot of eggs for the owner. In the meantime, if the fire is too big and too strong, he picks a few pebbles from the small porcelain basin next to him and presses the flames down: after a while, when the fire fungus is weak, he picks out the stones and adds a few pieces of charcoal, so that the water in the small copper pot boils repeatedly. It is said that the eggs boiled in this way are chewy, fragrant, and chewy.
When he turned around, when the maid was sent to fetch the eggs in the old man's room, Liu Gui also used a sheep's belly white towel, first wrapped a few stones with residual warmth, and wrapped them together with the hot eggs that had just come out of the pot, so as to keep the eggs from cold and fragrant. In the whole process of boiling eggs and wrapping eggs, Liu Gui never let others get started, and even didn't let outsiders know his knack for buying and boiling eggs. Over time, the guys will naturally be jealous of him!
One day, a young man, at the instigation of the second chef, through a little maid in the old man's room, "bit his ear" in front of Yang Hongtai, the master of Yang, saying that the chef Liu Gui was a thief, and said with a nose and eyes that the chef does not steal every day, all the time, and everything is not stolen, and when he goes home every night, he will pack a bag of things to carry it.
When Master Yang heard this, he was a little surprised! In Master Yang's opinion, Liu Gui is an extremely loyal person. Generations of his family have been working in their Yang family. How could he betray his master? Ask yourself, what his Liu family eats and uses, including the small courtyard of blue bricks and gray at the mouth of the Yanhe River, which one was not rewarded to him by the master? It can be said that the roots of their Liu family have long been rooted in their Yang Mansion. Master Yang refused to believe the maid's slander. However, I am not afraid that you will not believe in the things of the world, but I am afraid that you will leave an indelible imprint in your heart. Since Master Yang listened to the maid's "learning tongue", he really paid attention to the chef Liu Guilai.
One day, one night. When the lights were about to be turned off and locked in the kitchen of the Yang family, Mr. Yang took his aunt to the front hall, set up a small square table, moved two chairs, and borrowed the light in the hall, which seemed to be playing chess, but in fact he wanted to block the chef and see the reality.
Coincidentally, that night, the chef really carried a bag of bulging things in his hands, and when he passed by the hall, Master Yang saw it from afar, but when Liu Gui walked to him, Master Yang didn't look up, he seemed to be very engrossed, and sat opposite his aunt. Liu Gui didn't panic, he just changed the things in his left hand to his right hand, pretended to be smiling, greeted the master and aunt, and said, "It's so late, the master and the wife haven't rested yet?" ”
Master Yang ignored him. Auntie turned her face and glanced at Liu Gui, but Auntie quickly turned her gaze to the chessboard. Liu Gui was like a person who had nothing to do, with a modest smile on his face, and passed past Master Yang. But just as Liu Gui was about to step out of the door, he suddenly heard Master Yang ask him behind his back: "Liu Gui, is there a guest from your hometown?" ”
Liu Guimeng was stunned for a moment, and replied to the old man step by step, step by step, and said, "No, no!" ”
In Master Yang's opinion, your Liu Gui's family members are all doing things in his Yang Mansion, three meals a day, and he doesn't need to ** at home, do you still need to steal something back at night? Liu Gui was asked by Master Yang like that, of course, he heard what Master Yang said, so he immediately stopped and didn't dare to go out further. Unexpectedly, Master Yang didn't want him to make a fool of himself on the spot, raised a chess piece he was pinching in his hand, didn't even look at Liu Gui, and said, "Go, you go!" ”
Liu Gui didn't say anything more, and just retreated silently.
Early the next morning, Chef Liu Gui made an exception to bring boiled eggs to Mr. Yang himself, and invited Mr. Yang to his humble house to see the hens he fed.
When Mr. Yang learned that the hot eggs he ate every morning were carefully selected by Chef Liu Gui to make chicken feed with worm-mouthed jujubes, fruits, ginseng, pecans, and grasshoppers, Mr. Yang waved his pen and gave Liu Gui - each hen that provided eggs for Yang Mansion would be fed with one or two ** ** every day.
Later generations have said that the price of Yang Hongtai's family to provide hens to lay eggs lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty when their Yang family fell into decline.
