Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 282 Song Sanniang Cooks

Because the He Mansion kitchen would prepare the daily soup in advance, Song Sanniang didn't have to make the soup herself.

She wanted to make a chestnut braised chicken. The chestnuts had been processed, the chicken had been chopped, and all the ingredients were ready. All Song Sanniang had to do was cook.

Blanch the chicken, then heat the oil in a pan, add ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant, add the chicken and fry until dry, then add a handful of mushrooms.

Then add the seasoning, stir fry evenly, add water, sugar and chestnuts, then cover the pot and start simmering.

In fact, it is very simple to make this dish. Any handyman in the kitchen can make it delicious, but it has a different meaning when Song Sanniang makes it.

Although everyone in the kitchen worked honestly, they would still sneak a peek at Song Sanniang from time to time, because everyone still found it quite strange.

First of all, it is a legendary thing that she, a country girl, transformed herself into the third wife of the He family.

Secondly, the lady of a wealthy family came to the kitchen to cook, which also made everyone curious.

Because everyone's wife can't cook, even eating is served by others before eating, and finally everyone wants to see what she looks like,

Song Sanniang could also sense everyone's gazes on her, intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't care. Everyone has curiosity, and if it were her, she would also take a curious glance or two.

The dishes were still cooking, so she started to prepare the rice. She planned to arrange the rice in the shape of He Pingdu's zodiac sign. Fortunately, his zodiac sign was a rabbit. If it was a dragon or a tiger, she really wouldn't know how to make it.

First, make the rabbit's head. Make a fist-sized piece of rice into the rabbit's head, and use sesame seeds as its small eyes.

I used two thin green leaves to make an x ​​symbol for the mouth. I was going to use ketchup to put on the cheeks as blush, but there was no ketchup, so I used persimmon sauce instead.

Then add two ears made of rice balls on the head, one ear standing up high and the other drooping cutely.

Use a carrot to carve a flower as the bunny's hair accessory, and pinch two small rice balls as the bunny's feet.

After finishing, Song Sanniang adjusted the rabbit's posture again. The rabbit's head was mostly leaning on the plate, and its ears were leaning against the edge of the plate.

The two little feet made of rice balls are round, white and plump and placed under the head, which is where the feet should be.

There is no body. When the chestnut stewed chicken is ready, put it on a plate to act as the body, creating a visual dislocation effect.

It looks like a rabbit lying in the chestnut stewed chicken, with only its head and a pair of short legs showing.

Lanhua watched Song Sanniang pinching this and tapping that, and at first she was wondering what the lady was doing.

When the rabbit slowly took shape, she shouted in surprise, "Madam, is this a rabbit? It's so cute, isn't it?"

Song Sanniang was quite satisfied with her first time making it. She smiled and said, "Yes, it's a rabbit. It looks pretty good, doesn't it? Does it look like your Third Master?"

Lanhua shook her head, "That doesn't seem like it."

Song Sanniang laughed again when she heard that. In fact, he was indeed not like that. She felt that sometimes when He Pingdu was with her in private, he was a bit like a cute puppy. He liked to hang around her, act cute, and ask for food.

While the chestnut stewed chicken was cooking, she also cooked a fresh vegetable lotus soup.

Crush the yam, add carrots and mushrooms in hot oil and stir-fry until fragrant, add water and yam and mix evenly, add some chopped greens after cooking, pour egg liquid on it, stir and cook for a while, add salt and it is ready to serve.

The chestnut chicken is ready to be served. The sweet aroma of chestnuts and the fragrance of chicken are already wafting out of the pot.

Song Sanniang put it on the rabbit plate while it was still hot, and then packed the rest and prepared to eat it herself.

Finally, she fried some garlic-flavored dried radish, and her lunch was ready.

I stewed soybean, bitter gourd and pork ribs soup in the kitchen today. It’s too hot in the summer and we need to reduce the internal heat, so I added two bowls of soup.

The radish cake and taro cake in the small kitchen had already been packed and were waiting for Song Sanniang to take them away.

The people in the kitchen helped to pack all the food, and Song Sanniang and Lanhua walked back together carrying the food.

Lanhua said as she walked, "Madam, you are so kind to the master. I have never seen any lady in the mansion or outside the mansion go to the kitchen to cook for her sick husband."

Song Sanniang found it funny. Could it be that the popular saying in later generations that to tie a man's heart you have to tie his stomach wasn't derived from those sayings of the ancients?

But she couldn't instill this idea of ​​pleasing men into Lanhua. She cooked for He Pingdu because she loved him and cared about him, not because of any purpose.

"Isn't your master good to me? He has done so much for me, don't you see it?"

Lanhua thought about it and realized that the master had no complaints about the mistress. She suddenly felt that she had overstepped her authority.

So she replied, "Madam is right, it was I who overstepped my bounds."

Song Sanniang shook her head, "We don't need to be so reserved when we are together, just say whatever you want to say.

This is not something that cannot be discussed. Believe it or not, the people in the kitchen will talk about me after I leave."

Lanhua was stunned. Although she knew that the lady was telling the truth, she was still a little angry.

She felt that the lady was a good person and should not be talked about behind her back like this, but she could imagine the faces of those people.

Everyone must be saying that she must have some talent to become the Third Lady. She cooks for him personally, and the Third Master must be so touched.

The two returned soon. Xiao Jinzi was fanning himself out of boredom. He Pingdu was still sleeping. It should be because of the effect of the medicine, otherwise he would not have been able to sleep that long.

But she still planned to set the table for him to eat before going to sleep, otherwise in summer the food would be left out for too long and bacteria would grow easily.

So she sat down beside the bed and took He Pingdu's hand. His hand was warm and big, and his hands were very beautiful.

The hands have fair skin, crisscrossed blue veins, slender fingers, and distinct joints, which are pleasing to the eye.

"Husband, wake up, get up and eat before going to sleep."

He Pingdu was sleeping soundly. He called out several times before he opened his confused eyes. When he saw that the person guarding him was his wife, he was instantly happy.

He smiled, "Ma'am."

Song Sanniang kissed him and said, "Come, get up and have dinner. I will cook for you myself."

He Pingdu came to his senses as soon as he heard it. He got up and hugged Song Sanniang, "My dear, it's great that you are here."

Song Sanniang's heart softened by his coquettishness, and the two of them kissed each other. For a while, the only sound in the room was the ambiguous sound of their lips kissing each other.

He Pingdu didn't do anything bad last night, and he slept a lot today, so he feels more energetic.

He reacted to the kiss and hug, but he thought he had to eat and was afraid he would lose control of his temper, so he had to let go of the person in his arms.

Seeing his wife's confused and infatuated look, he felt the fire burning again, but he still forced himself to get up.
