Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen

199 Ming Zhiyan’s Return

When he arrived, the few of them had already finished eating and were sitting on a stool to rest. When they saw him enter, they were all shocked.

Ming Zhiyan had been busy working outside for a few days and had not slept much. Now, his eyes were bloodshot and light green stubble appeared. His face was so thin that his cheekbones protruded out and he looked haggard, he looked a few years older.

Jian Qingqing quickly walked over and asked with concern, “Brother Ming, have you eaten? We just finished eating and there are still some dishes that aren’t hot. Come over and eat something.”

Ming Zhiyan waved his hand and shook his head. “No, I’m just here to see you guys. I’ll eat after I wash up.”

Jian Qing Qing looked at his haggard face and quickly said, “Okay, go and sleep. I’ll make something for you to eat.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded, nodded to the people in the room, and then left.

Granny Lin and Lin Zhiqing had been staring at him since Ming Zhiyan appeared in the room. They wanted to ask him something, but when they saw his haggard face, they held back.

After he left, Jian Qingqing went to the kitchen and planned to make some light food for him. He did not look like a person who ate three meals a day these days. If he was hungry for too long, he should not eat heavy food. Moreover, he knew that the taste of the Inkstone was rather bland.

When the kitchen maids saw her arrival, they were extremely terrified. “Miss Jian, why are you here? Did you go the wrong way? Let me take you out.”

Jian Qingqing shook her head and said, “I did not go the wrong way. I came here myself. Big Brother Ming is back. I will cook a few side dishes for him to eat.”

The kitchen maid was surprised. “Aiya, Lord Ming is back. I did not even know itit. Then I have to hurry up and cook for him.”

Jian Qingqing waved her hand and said, “I’ll do it. You guys just have to help me.”

The cook was a little hesitant. She did not know Jian Qingqing’s identity. She only felt that someone of an extraordinary status must be able to be friends with Ming Zhiyan. How could such a delicate girl know how to cook? It would be terrible if she missed the Master’s meal time.

However, they did not dare to refute her. They just thought that they could count it as her cooking when she put the dishes into the pot later.

Jian Qingqing looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and found a bag of dried shrimps. She was a little surprised. Cairo City was not close to the sea, and there was no big river, so it was difficult to eat seafood. She did not expect that there would be dried shrimps in the manor, the shrimp soup was very delicious, and she had a recipe in her mind.

“Aunties, can you help me knead the dough and chop the lean meat into minced meat?”

The cook asked curiously, “Miss Jian, what are you doing? Are you making steamed buns?”

She said tactfully, “It’s better to have rice for lunch.”

Jian Qingqing shook her head and said, “I want to make wonton.”

The cook asked in surprise, “Wonton? What kind of food is this? Why haven’t we heard of it before?”

Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “You’ll know when I’m done. It’s guaranteed to be delicious. You’ll know when you listen to my instructions.”

The cook nodded her head suspiciously and went to work according to her instructions. Judging from what she said, could it be that Miss Jian really knew how to cook?

Jian Qingqing first took out some of the shrimps and washed them before starting to make the high-quality soup.

She first put two tube-shaped bones and a small handful of shrimps into the water to boil. After it was done, she added other seasonings.

Then, when the soup was ready, Jian Qingqing separated the dough and rolled it out.

The important thing about wonton was the skin, so the wonton skin had to be rolled very thin, the kind that was almost transparent.
