Xue Ying instructed Shen Yao a few words about trivial business matters, and carefully looked through the account books of the gourd soup shop, and found that the money earned could barely sustain the business.Since Xue Ying went to Li Mansion to be a cook, the business of Xue's gourd soup shop is naturally not as prosperous as before, but fortunately, Shen Yao's cooking skills are good and she is willing to work hard, and Zhang Qing next door also comes to help from time to time, so there are still some repeat customers.It's just that in the long run, it's not the way to go.Xue Ying calculated that last time she paid the capital to Xu Dalang to go to Hangzhou to sell silk, if everything went well, she could earn a lot of money, plus her salary in the Li Mansion, it was enough to renovate and expand the store.After the business was done, Xue Ying and Shen Yao temporarily closed the shop, went to the Mahang Street area to buy some pomegranates, pears, dates, grapes and other seasonal fruits, and went to the vicinity of Panlou to watch a hundred operas such as jumping ropes, miscellaneous dresses, hesheng, sumo wrestling, cockfighting, prodigal son miscellaneous plays, and student students, until it was late, and then reluctantly returned to the store.Shen Yao smiled: "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten the food cooked by my mother for a long time, and I really miss it." ”Xue Ying smiled: "I knew you were waiting for me here, let's say, what do you want to eat today?"
”Shen Yao sighed: "It's already the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is still so hot, this autumn tiger is really powerful, I want to eat something sour and spicy to boost my appetite." ”Shen Yao's thoughts coincided with Xue Ying.Speaking of which, in the days when she was a cook in Li Mansion, she was tired of eating all kinds of fine dishes, but she missed the roughness and casualness of the market dishes, she smiled and said, "Why don't we make suo noodles." ”The method of suo noodles is very simple, put the mung bean vermicelli into boiling water and cook it out, pour the lamb bone soup prepared by the gourd soup shop at any time, put in the appropriate amount of salt, add more vinegar, Sichuan pepper powder, garlic paste, and finally add a little coriander, and it is done.Xue Ying always felt that there was something missing from this powder, and suddenly patted her head and said, "Yes, it's better to put some soybean crisp." ”She took out a handful of soybeans and put them in warm water to soak slightly, and then stir-fried over low heat, and gradually the skin of the soybeans cracked, exuding a strong bean fragrance.Xue Ying took out the soybeans, put an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil and frosting in the pot, and waited until the frosting melted into a viscous syrup, then poured the fried soybeans into it and stirred constantly, after a while, the soybeans in the pot began to crackle, Xue Ying sandwiched a grain and put it in the mouth, crispy and crispy, the heat was just right, and then add a little sweet wine, the soybeans can be out of the pot.Xue Ying added soybean crisp to the noodles, and asked Shen Yao with a smile: "You can't fill your stomach just by eating noodles, do you want to go with Hu cakes?"
”Shen Yao said with a smile: "Hu Cake is tired of eating every day, why don't we make pork shortbread."
Lady rest for a while, I'll do it. ”Shen Yao chopped the fat and thin pork into a fine puree, added green onions, minced ginger, soy sauce, salt, Sichuan pepper powder and a little rapeseed oil, and then began to mix the noodles.Shen Yao blended the dough very softly, added a spoonful of lard, and kneaded the fat into the dough thoroughly.When the noodles are ready, they can be used as agents.She rolls the agent into the shape of a cow's tongue, brushes it with a layer of lard, spreads it with meat puree and rolls it into a roll, and then rolls it flat into a round pancake, and the cake embryo is formed.Shen Yao put the cake base into the pot and fried it, and after a while, the wheat fragrance mixed with the oil fragrance and the spicy fragrance of Sichuan pepper came to her nose, and Xue Ying felt that she was getting more and more hungry.However, he said that Liu Jingnian made an appointment to go to the Fang family's house to admire the moon, passed by the Xue family's soup shop, and wanted to buy a white meat cake to eat on the road, but he was confined to the door.Just as he was about to leave, a spicy smell suddenly came.Liu Jingnian looked in through the crack in the door, and the light in the store was faint, thinking that someone was having dinner.He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the voice of a young lady came from inside: "Who are the guest officers looking for?"
”"Is Mrs.
Shen at home?
I want to buy a white meat beard cake. ”The door of the store creaked open, but it was Xue Ying who walked out, Liu Jingnian was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Oh, Xue Niangzi is also here, I came here today by coincidence." ”Xue Ying said with a smile: "It turned out to be Liu Yushi, please come in, the white meat cakes are sold out, but we have made new pork shortbread and noodles, if Liu Yushi doesn't dislike it, let's use some together?"
”Liu Jingnian wished that Xue Ying would say this, he went to the Fang family's house to admire the moon, but he only ate some preserved meat and fruits, and then he had to drink and write poems, so it was best to fill his stomach in advance.Liu Jingnian hurriedly smiled: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”Liu Jingnian naturally sat down in front of the dining table, and Shen Yao had already put three bowls of noodles and two plates of pork shortbread on the table.The mung bean vermicelli is crystal clear, and the green coriander and tender yellow beans are pleasing to the eye.The pork shortbread crust is thin and oily, and you can faintly see the filling inside, which is particularly tempting to the appetite.Liu Jingnian couldn't wait to add a vermicelli to the entrance, the vermicelli was cooked just right, the muscles were elastic, the juice was hung on it, and a unique spicy Sichuan pepper rushed straight to his head, he couldn't help but take a breath and said: "Xue Niangzi, how much Sichuan pepper powder did you put in?"
”Xue Ying smiled and said: "I am a Shu person who is used to eating Sichuan pepper, if Liu Yushi feels numb, I will add some mutton bone soup." ”"Wait."
When the numbness in the mouth gradually dissipated, the sweetness of the mutton bone soup surged to the tip of the tongue little by little, mixed with chopped coriander and garlic to enhance the flavor, Liu Jingnian simply picked up the bowl and drank a sip of the soup, although it was still very numb, but it was extremely enjoyable, and he couldn't help but want to take a sip.He picked up another soybean and tasted it, it was crispy and crispy, with a hint of sweetness, and he couldn't help but praise: "This soybean crisp and soy flour are a perfect match." ”Shen Yao smiled: "And pork shortbread, this is my craft, don't you want Liu Yushi to try it?"
”Liu Jingnian grabbed a shortbread and took a bite of it, the outer skin was very thin and crispy, but the inner filling was very soft, and there was faint juice flowing out, with a rich aroma of meat, onions and peppers.If Suo Fen's hemp is domineering and arrogant, then the hemp of the pork shortbread is gentle and generous, and Yu Moisturizing Things silently conquered his stomach and made him want to stop.Liu Jingnian ate a bite of shortbread and drank a mouthful of soup, and in a blink of an eye, the two cakes were already in his stomach, and the bowl of noodles had bottomed out.Only then did he wipe the sweat from his forehead, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Let the two ladies laugh, I got a little carried away today." ”Xue Ying smiled, as the owner of the gourd soup shop, she likes diners like Liu Jingnian the most, she has a good appetite, is not picky, and does not hesitate to praise, she is a good feeding object.As for Levi, her brows couldn't help frowning, why did she think of him again, no matter what kind of food that guy ate, he always had a paralyzed face, which made people super unaccomplished.Liu Jingnian suddenly asked: "Did Xue Niangzi come back here during the Mid-Autumn Festival vacation?"
”"Exactly."
Xue Ying now feels that there is nothing happier than cooking something she likes in her own shop.Although the materials and equipment in the Li Mansion kitchen are complete, there are too many rules and dietary taboos, and she is used to being free in the market, if it weren't for the money, she really didn't want to go to the Li Mansion to be constrained.Liu Jingnian was full, and seeing Xue Ying more and more pleasing to the eye, he suddenly smiled and said, "I thought that Xue Niangzi didn't plan to be a cook in Li Mansion."
If that's the case, I'll definitely spend a lot of money to invite you to the humble house to be in charge of the kitchen, and a skilled chef like Xue Niangzi is hard to find even with a lantern. ”Xue Ying also smiled: "I have been in the Li Mansion for a year and a half, and I still have to go back to the gourd soup shop."
When the time comes, I'll expand my shop a little bit and try new dishes.If Liu Yushi likes to eat the dishes I make, just come and cheer more. ”The author has something to say: Everyone is happy on June 1st Chapter 16 The autumn wind blows away the summer heat, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of sticking autumn fat and eating sheep to make supplements.Since Xue Ying came to Li Mansion to be a cook, Liu Jingnian has been looking for Li Wei more and more often.At the end of the day, he also returned home with Li Wei, Li Wei frowned and asked, "What do you want to eat today?"
”Liu Jingnian said with a smile: "As soon as August comes, the mutton becomes more and more fat.Please ask your Xue Lady to make mutton dishes. ”It didn't take long for Xue Ying to receive Li Wei's order and asked Zheng Liang with a smile: "Liu Yushi is here again today?"
I see that he likes to eat pasta, so let's make Gulouzi. ”Zheng Liang said with a smile: "Liu Yushi only said that he wanted to eat mutton, as for what to cook, Xue Niangzi is in charge, just be faster, Ah Lang and Liu Yushi are a little hungry." ”After Zheng Liang left, the ladies in the big kitchen began to get busy.Gulouzi is a delicacy of the previous generation, spread a pound of mutton in a huge Hu cake, add pepper, tempeh and other seasonings, and then mix with puff pastry, paste it into the oven and bake, and the mutton can be eaten when it is half-cooked.Xue Ying made an ancient building a few days ago according to the ancient method, and it tasted good, but the mutton was half-cooked and bloodshot, she really couldn't get used to it, so she wanted to improve it today.Xue Ying said to Wang Niangzi: "Did I make you cook the milk residue last time?"
”Wang Niangzi asked, "It's done."
Is it just that you need to use cheese to make Gulouzi?
”Xue Ying smiled: "I have a point, you first stir the milk residue vigorously for a while to separate the cream." ”Xue Ying began to prepare the filling of the ancient building.In order to fully heat the mutton, she chopped half a catty of mutton into a fine puree, and added salt, pepper, chopped green onions, tempeh, sesame oil and other seasonings.That Chen Niangzi has already reconciled the noodles.Xue Ying saw that Mrs.
Wang had successfully separated the white and moist cream by stirring vigorously, and the kitchen was full of milky fragrance.Mrs.
Chen smiled and asked, "Is this going to make crispy abalone snails?"
It's a pity that I'm clumsy and can't squeeze out the snail-like lines. ”Xue Ying said with a smile: "Leave half of it to make crispy abalone snails, and I plan to put the remaining half into the noodles, so that the baked pie crust is more crispy." ”Chen Niangzi glanced at Xue Ying with admiration, added a few pieces of cream to the noodles and began to knead them vigorously until the fat was fully kneaded into the noodles.She asked Xue Ying casually: "Do you want to put all the meat filling in the dough?"
”Xue Ying waved his hand and said, "I'll come."
The dough is too large and is easy to heat unevenly, so it is better to be smaller. ”After the noodles woke up, Xue Ying cut the noodles into six pieces of the same size, rolled them into a beef tongue shape, brushed a thin layer of mutton fat on them, and then smeared the mutton stuffing and rolled them into rolls, and the cake embryo was ready.Mrs.
Wang also lit the fire in the brick stove and carefully put the cake embryo into the baking.Chen Niangzi said with a smile: "Although it is autumn, the weather is still hot.The mutton has a lot of firepower, so I'll make a few more bowls of ice and snow cold yuanzi to lower the fire. ”Chen Niangzi fried the soybeans, shelled them and ground them into soybean flour, added honey and mixed well, added an appropriate amount of water to knead them into a round ball, and then poured ice water, and the ice and snow cold yuan was ready.The orange dumplings with the crystal ice floe look particularly pleasing to the eye.Gu Louzi was also baked and baked, the golden pie crust was wrapped in rich fillings, and a strong milky and meat aroma came to the face, and Wang Niangzi secretly swallowed her saliva.Because Gu Louzi and Bing Xue Leng Yuanzi had to be cooked and eaten, Xue Ying quickly put them into the food box and instructed the maid who delivered the meal: "Be sure to deliver it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”As soon as today's dinner was placed on the dining table, Liu Jingnian was immediately overjoyed: "It's an ancient building, I haven't eaten it for a long time, and last time I ate the favorite ancient building in Guo Kitchen in East Ji'er Lane." ”It's just that this ancient building in front of him is inevitably a little smaller, Liu Jingnian hesitated to grab a taste with his hand, just a mouth has a thick milky fragrance lingering on the tip of the tongue, after full baking, the crust of the ancient building is crispy, the filling is soft and juicy, there is the unique plump and delicious mutton, and it is also spicy with pepper.Liu Jingnian ate several pieces in a row, and was about to grab the last piece, but was quietly snatched away by Li Wei.Liu Jingnian was a little surprised, when did he become so greedy, but he saw that although Li Wei still looked like a cold man, he ate quickly, but after a while, the ancient building was swallowed.Liu Jingnian was a little unsatisfied, and his eyes turned to the bowl of ice and snow cold yuan beside him.The crushed ice had not yet melted, and the small Motoko had a honey-like luster, and he happened to be a little hot, so he scooped a spoonful and tasted it.A cold breath dispelled the heat, Yuanzi was delicate and sweet, with bursts of bean aroma, and he quickly finished eating this bowl of cold Yuanzi.Turning his head to look at Levi, he had eaten faster than he did.Liu Jingnian sighed with satisfaction: "Zijing, I really envy you, there is a skilled cook like Xue Niangzi in the family."
You invite her over, and I'm going to ask how this ancient building is done?
”Zheng Liang, who was serving on the side, saw that Li Wei had no objection, so he went to the big kitchen to invite Xue Ying.Xue Ying came to Li Wei's room, saluted him in a proper manner, and when he saw Liu Jingnian in a blink of an eye, his original nervousness was somehow alleviated, and he said with a smile: "Liu Yushi is also here, and the dinner is prepared in a hurry, don't be surprised." ”Liu Jingnian hurriedly smiled and said: "Mrs.
Xue is right, last time you entertained me in the gourd soup shop, I haven't thanked you yet." ”Li Wei couldn't help but glance at Liu Jingnian, frowning slightly, when did the two of them become so familiar?
Liu Jingnian asked again: "Today's Gulouzi is even better than what I have eaten in Guo Kitchen in East Ji'er Lane, did Xue Niangzi put soufflé in the filling?"
”Xue Ying said with a smile: "It is mixed with cream in the pie crust, so that the baked taste is more crispy."
In addition, I made the cake base smaller, which makes it easier to bake and flavor. ”"No wonder."
Liu Jingnian sighed: "Gulouzi was originally a delicacy of the previous dynasty, but in the hands of Xue Niangzi, it is better than blue." ”Li Wei coughed and said to Xue Ying: "I'm a little thirsty, you go get some cooked water." ”When Xue Ying took the cooked water, she handed Liu Jingnian a lamp first, turned her head and saw Li Wei's gloomy gaze, and hurriedly said in her heart: "Ah Lang, Liu Yushi is a guest, is there anything wrong with the maid doing this?"
”She hurriedly gave Li Wei a glass of cooked water first, and said in her heart: Eighty percent is here, which hinders Ah Lang and Liu Yushi from getting along alone, so let's hurry up and leave quickly.Xue Ying said in a low voice: "Ah Lang, if there is no other command, the servant will retreat first." ”Who knew that Li Wei didn't pay attention to her at all, but said to Liu Jingnian: "It's not too early, Lingtang is still waiting at home, Pingfu should go back quickly, so I don't have to complain again." ”Liu Jingnian was chatting with Xue Ying in the middle of the day, but when he heard Li Wei say this, he was greatly disappointed, hesitated for a moment, bowed his hand to Li Wei, got up and left.Xue Ying wondered in her heart: actually drove Liu Jingnian away?
It's not quite what I imagined.I didn't have time to think about it, so I quietly quit when I was busy."
Stop!"
Xue Ying's body trembled, and he looked back at Li Wei, his eyes became more and more gloomy: "In the past few days since you entered the mansion, what rules have you been called by Grandma Sect?"
”At the mention of this, Xue Ying was extremely depressed.Her mother died early, and her father taught her to read when she was young, and he mainly taught some scriptures and history, but she did not know anything about women's classics such as "The Female Commandment" and "The Analects of the Woman".The teacher was shocked by her ignorance, and she has been giving her homework these days.Xue Ying sighed and said, "In the past two days, Zhang Niangzi has been teaching me to read the Analects of Women. ”"Oh."
Li Wei stood up with his hands in his hands, slowly walked towards her, and said lightly: "The Analects of Women starts with a talk about how women stand up, you can tell me about it." ”Xue Ying tried hard to recall: "For all women, learn to stand up first."
The way to establish oneself is to be pure.If you are pure, you will be clean, and if you are chaste, you will be honored.Don't look back, don't lift your lips.Don't move your knees when you sit, don't shake your skirt when you don't move.Laugh loudly, don't be angry.Everywhere inside and outside, men and women are different.Don't peep into the outer wall, don't go out of the outer court.Male non-dependents, not with the name. ”"That's enough."
Li Wei interrupted her: "Xue Niangzi's endorsement is okay, but it doesn't look like that at all."
It's just that the action is not in accordance with the rules, there is no distinction between inside and outside, and you can easily talk and laugh with foreign men at will, is this the rule that Zhang Niangzi taught you?
”It turned out that he was waiting for him here, but he just chatted with Liu Jingnian a few more words.Xue Ying was not convinced, and raised her voice and said: "Back to Ah Lang, the maid feels that this "Female Analects" is not suitable for people like the maid. ”Li Wei sneered: "Women in modern times are literate, and they must first read the "Analects of Women", why is it not suitable for you?"
”Xue Ying simply said with a heart: "The maid was originally an orphan girl, and the maid's father instructed me before he died, I must open the Xue family's soup shop."
In order to fulfill his father's entrustment, the maid can't stay in the boudoir like everyone else, and it is inevitable to show up and solicit guests.In the eyes of the servant, whether male or female, as long as they like my cooking, they are all my customers, how can they strictly observe the distinction between inside and outside?

Ah Lang is erudite and talented, and should know that there are scriptures and powers.For the servant, nothing is more important than inheriting the will of the father, and as for the gossip of outsiders, the servant does not care at all. ”Xue Ying saw that Li Wei did not speak, and continued: "What's more, although the maid has not studied the "Female Analects" before, she also knows that the Song sisters, the authors of the "The Analects of the Women", are all famous and talented women in the previous dynasty.In this way, the Song sisters did not strictly distinguish between inside and outside.The maid thinks that a woman relies on virtue and skill, and the Song sisters have never married for life, and they also rely on these two points. ”Li Wei was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "In this way, Xue Niangzi also plans to follow the example of the Song sisters and never marry for life, and live a lifetime by cooking?"
”Xue Ying immediately said: "There is nothing wrong with relying on craftsmanship to support yourself, and you don't have to look at the faces of others." ”There was another silence, and Levi finally said, "I know, you can step down." ”Levi didn't reprimand himself for being ridiculous, so he let it go so easily?
Xue Ying couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but look at him, because he couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark because of the light on his back, Xue Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked away.The author has something to say: Gulouzi is a delicacy of the Tang Dynasty."
Tang Yulin" records: Shi Hao's family eats times, starting from [using] a pound of mutton, layer cloth [supplemented by a layer of mutton filling] in the giant Hu cake [extra-large Hu cake], and in the middle [in the sandwich of the Hu cake] with pepper, soy bean [tempeh], moistened with crisp, forced into the oven [paste the cake into the oven, bake it with fire], wait for the meat to be half-cooked and eat.It is called "ancient building".Chapter 17 August 20 is Mrs.
Tai's fiftieth birthday, and when all relatives and friends come, I am afraid that the banquet will not be arranged.Li Wei and Li Jia discussed a three-day banquet from August 19 to August 21.Li Wei of the Outer Flower Hall is responsible for receiving officials and guests, and Li Jia of the Inner Flower Hall is responsible for greeting guests.On the 19th, the emperor's relatives and relatives were invited to the peak, on the 20th, the Li family was honored, and on the 21st, all relatives and families were invited.Because Li Wei is a close minister of the Son of Heaven and is quite favored, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to give the four ends of colored satin and fifty taels of gold.Who knew that Li Wei had already agreed with the porter that unless he was a close relative, he would not accept any gifts he sent, which saved a lot of heart.By the 19th, the Li Mansion was lit up and down, the screen was opened, and the mattress was set up with hibiscus.The chief and his wife of the two governments, two systems, and three secretaries all came to congratulate the birthday, and Mrs.
Tai personally went out to welcome the guests, and the trouble lasted until the evening.On the 20th, the head of the Li family was invited to a banquet, and Mrs.
Tai did not dare to hold it up, so she accompanied her until the time of the day.On the 21st, Mrs.
Tai was really tired, and the other was all juniors or juniors, so she sat down at the banquet for a while, and went back to rest under the pretext of being unwell.All the relatives were Li Wei and Li Jia, brothers and sisters.After Li Wei's father Li You died, the two cousins were adults, so they went out to take their biological mother Lin Shan to pass, and came to celebrate his birthday on this day, and saw that Li Mansion was so rich and pompous, and his heart was inevitably a little sour.Lin pointed to a plate of crispy abalone snails on the case and said to Li Jia: "This thing is really rare, it melts in the mouth, it melts into the heart, and I rarely eat it since your father died." ”Li Jia frowned slightly, in front of a group of relatives and juniors, Lin said this intentionally to embarrass himself, thought for a moment and smiled: "Mrs.
Lin said that, dripping crispy abalone snails are also common in the market, if you like to eat, let the second brother and third brother buy it to honor you." ”Lin shook his head and sighed: "The third sister doesn't know, your second brother is relying on his father's shadow, and now he is just a Taizhu of Taichang Temple, and his income is meager, and your third brother is just a white ding, and there is spare money to buy these things."
Although the two of them and the eldest brother are not from the same mother, they are the same father after all, and now that the eldest brother is out, he should also take care of his younger brothers. ”Li Jia sneered in his heart, with the temper of the eldest brother, if it weren't for the fact that he and the second brother and the third brother are the same father, one is prosperous and the other is lost, he would have taken revenge a long time ago, and the Lin family can live peacefully to this day.Li Jia smiled faintly and said: "What Lin Zhipo said is right, as long as the second brother and the third brother study hard and are admitted to the Jinshi, the eldest brother will naturally take care of it in the court, otherwise even if he has the heart, he will be powerless." ”Lin's two sons have been studying with Li Wei since they were children, but their qualifications are blunt, Li Wei was in high school at the age of sixteen, and the two cousins are now almost twenty-five years old, but they haven't even mixed up with the fame of a person.This is Lin's heart disease, and now Li Jia said that he immediately fell silent.Li Jia didn't bother to talk to her anymore, and smiled at all the relatives: "Why the fruit hasn't been ready yet, I'll go to the kitchen to urge it." ”After saying that, he turned around and left.In the past few days, there have been continuous banquets in the house, and Xue Ying and others have been busy enough in the big kitchen.Seeing Li Jia coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "The fruits and cold dishes will be ready immediately." ”Li Jia said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, it's too stuffy in the flower hall, I just came out to breathe." ”Xue Ying saw that Li Jia's face was not very good, and asked, "The little lady has been busy entertaining guests recently, I think she is too tired." ”Li Jia waved his hand and said, "I'm young, so it's okay to work harder."
It's just that I feel angry when I see Lin like that.When my father was alive, she always played right and wrong, sowing discord, and my eldest brother was often called over to be trained, my daughter, there is no difference between there and no for my father, and my mother doesn't know how many tears she shed behind her back.Now that the eldest brother has come to prominence, her own son is not promising, but she came to beg the eldest brother to take care of it, I really don't know the face that came from!
”When it comes to the private affairs of the Li family, Xue Ying, who is a subordinate, is not easy to intervene, so she has to remain silent, Li Jia also felt that she had said a lot today, so she changed the topic and asked: "In the past few days, I have learned the skills of Xue Niangzi, and what fresh food are you going to do today?"
”Xue Ying said with a smile: "There is still some ice left in the cellar, I made a crisp mountain freeze a few days ago, and the weather is not cold today, so I will take it out and eat it." ”"Crisp Mountain!"
Li Jia quickly became excited: "I haven't eaten it for a long time since I ate Sushan last summer. ”Chen Niangzi explained on the side: "The ice frozen with river water is easy to upset the stomach, and this time the ice was frozen with boiling water last winter, which is absolutely clean and can be safe." ”Li Jia put his mind at ease, Xue Ying had already taken out the crisp mountain from the cellar, more than a foot high, and Xue Ying inserted chrysanthemums and perilla leaves on it as decorations, making it more and more like a rockery sold in the market.As soon as Li Jiagang approached the mountain, a chill hit him, and because of the addition of honey and soufflé, the mountain had an attractive amber color, which made people want to taste it.Xue Ying seemed to see what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Little lady can taste it, this crispy mountain is very big, and you can't see it with a little scoop." ”Li Jia hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't resist the temptation of food, and carefully scooped a spoonful into his mouth without damaging the shape of the crispy mountain.It is a cold and sweet taste in memory, with a strong milky aroma.Because Xue Ying broke the ice cubes very much, the taste was very dense, and it quickly melted on the tip of the tongue.Oops, I still want to eat after taking a bite, Li Jia was afraid that he would not be able to control himself if he continued to stay here, so he asked Xue Ying to quickly send Sushan to the banquet, and left in a hurry.As soon as Su Shanfu entered the table, it caused a burst of exclamations, and under the urging of Li Wei, the guests picked up spoons to taste this rare delicacy, looking at the satisfied smiling faces of everyone, Li Wei suddenly felt a trance.Like ordinary children, Li Wei loved to eat crispy mountains when he was young, but he never loved it anymore.He remembered that it was the autumn of one year, he was playing with his cousin Li Hui, and there was a dispute over the tortoiseshell, and he pushed Li Hui to the ground in a fit of anger.He was only eight years old at the time, and more than ten years have passed, and he still remembers every detail of that day vividly.He had been kneeling in the courtyard for two hours, and the autumn rain was falling, at first it was as thin as a gossamer, and then it was connected into a line, and the leaves of the sycamore in the courtyard were already wet, and could no longer give him the slightest shade.It was getting dark, his knees and the hem of his robe were soaked, and in a few more moments, he was drenched in the rain, and the autumn wind blew with a chill, and he couldn't help but shrink for a while.At first, there was pain under the knee, but now it was numb.He gritted his teeth and knelt straight, looking up through the dense rain line.At the beginning of the lanterns, there was a faint laughter, thinking that my father was having dinner with Lin's mother and son.I don't know how long later, the door creaked open, and the two younger brothers came out one after another.Li Hui descended the steps, stopped beside him slightly, and chuckled: "Why is the eldest brother so embarrassed, Daddy told you to go in." ”Then he turned and left.Li Weiqiang struggled to get up, as soon as he stood up, he was dizzy, almost fell to the ground, he was a child after all, he suddenly felt aggrieved, his eyes were hot, he raised his hand and wiped his face, the rain was so heavy, he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.Tonight is the Lin family serving his father for the night, Li You saw that the eldest son was drenched and pale, but he still looked stubborn, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "I punished you for kneeling for a few hours, do you know that it was wrong now?"
”Li Wei was just silent, Li You became more and more angry, turned to Lin and said: "Look at his disobedient and unfilial appearance, he doesn't even pay attention to me, not to mention brother, you have to teach a good lesson." ”Lin handed Li You a cup of tea: "The husband is serious, the eldest brother already knows that he is wrong, but he is young and can't wipe his skin to admit it."
How could the husband let him kneel in the courtyard in the rain all the time, in case he got sick, it was the concubine's fault. ”Li Wei hated Lin the most for pretending to be a good person in front of his father, and couldn't help but say at this time: "I talk to my father, I don't need you to talk too much." ”Li You became more and more annoyed, and suddenly got up and sneered: "The Lin family is your mother-in-law, so you talk to her like this?"
How did your mother teach you?
”He shouted to the subordinates on the side: "Go and win the big battle, I want to teach this rebel son a good lesson today, he has no father, he is not filial, I really regret giving birth to him." ”The people all looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.Lin hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Li You's waist and said: "Husband, after all, the eldest brother is a son-in-law, he is still young, even if he does something wrong, the husband just teaches him well, don't use this big punishment, otherwise my mother and son will die and have no place to be buried." ”The Lin family was good at persuading and persuading, and Li You barely stopped his anger and ordered his eldest son to get out.Lin got up to see him off, and came to the main hall outside, where the dinner was still on the dining table and had not been removed, and Levi saw the high mountain in the middle at a glance, and it seemed that he had only moved slightly.Lin thought that Li Wei wanted to eat, and said with a faint smile: "The second brother and the third brother just ate Sushan a few days ago, so I don't eat much tonight, if the eldest brother is hungry, sit down and use some." ”Li Wei was drenched, his lips were frozen purple, he just held his breath in front of his father, so he didn't tremble, at this time he felt that the cold mountain was particularly dazzling, he sneered and pushed Lin away, and walked away as if he was running away.It wasn't until the second brother spoke to him that Levi's memories were interrupted."
Big brother, I have been a Taizhu in Taichang Temple for five years, and my income is meager, and it is difficult to support my family, can you mention it to the Inquisitor's Court and reduce a few years of grinding?"
Li Hui looked at Li Wei's face and asked.Li Wei sneered in his heart, and said lightly: "Although you and I are close relatives, there is a system for the national examiner examination, and we really can't show favoritism." ”After that, he found an excuse and went out.There are rong rong flowing clouds in the courtyard, and the wind is smooth, and Li Wei breathes a sigh of relief silently, after all, he is no longer the helpless teenager he was at the beginning.The author has something to say: Sushan is also a delicacy handed down from the Tang Dynasty.Anyway, the weather has been so hot lately, and in order to write this article, I have already drunk N cups of Hey Tea with ice。。。。。。
Chapter 18 The feast has dispersed, the hustle and bustle of the day has gradually faded away, the huge kitchen has become deserted, and Xue Ying has found an excuse to stay alone.I don't know when, Xue Ying developed the habit of drinking alone, she didn't drink much, only took a glass of wine and stood in front of the window to taste it slowly, the early autumn wind blew with a cool breath, and this summer finally passed.Xue Ying has been busy with banquets these days, and she doesn't care about eating well.It's time to treat her stomach, she wants to cook a bowl of steamed dumplings.Chop the pork and shrimp into a fine puree, add a little salt, sweet wine, chopped green onions, pepper and rapeseed oil, and the filling is ready.At noon, there was just a little noodles left in the shou noodles, Xue Ying made the noodles into agents, rolled them into square dough, put the meat filling in the middle of the dough, and folded it in half into a triangle.She dipped gouache in one corner, folded the other corner and pressed it tightly, and pulled the two ends together to form the shape of an ingot, which could be boiled in the pot.Xue Ying poured a little water and broth into the pot and boiled, and put all the dumplings in, and it didn't take much effort for the surface of the dumplings to quickly bulge and float on the soup noodles.She added a little cold water to the pot, and when it boiled again, the dumplings were ready.She puts the dumplings in a bowl, adds green garlic sprouts, a little vinegar, salt, pepper and sesame oil, and is ready to eat.The skin of the steamed dumplings is very thin, and after cooking, it becomes a translucent color, and you can faintly see the pink and tender meat filling inside, the broth made of pork bones is milky white, and the fresh garlic seedlings float on it, which is more and more pleasing to the eye, smelling this familiar breath, Xue Ying suddenly felt a little in a trance.When Xue Ying was ten years old, her father couldn't stand the white eyes of his aunt, thinking that his cooking skills were not bad, and he was the best at making soup, so with the support of his uncle, he brought himself to Bianjing to open a soup shop.At the beginning, he robbed other people's business, and the Xue family's gourd soup shop would naturally be widely excluded.Xue Ying's natural temper inevitably argues with others, her father always advises her to be patient, and afterwards ridicules her for being like a dumpling - she has a big temperament.The dinner of the day was the fine steamed dumplings made by his father, seeing the bulging dumplings, Xue Ying couldn't help laughing, not to mention, his puffing appearance was really a little similar to the dumplings.Daddy's cooking skills are very good, he can cook in different ways, and he was Xue Ying's teacher when he was young.It's just that she has always wondered that her father is just a scholar, and she doesn't know the skills he learned there, and he can handle so many high-end ingredients.She also asked her father, and at first he was reluctant to answer, but later told her that when she was a child, her grandfather was in business, and the Xue family was well-off, and he liked to ponder and eat, which he learned from the cook in the family."
Coincidentally, Xue Niangzi is here."
Li Jia's voice interrupted Xue Ying's thoughts.But I saw her smile and said, "I saw that the big kitchen was still lit, so I knew you were here."
What do you do to eat?
”It seems that this bowl of fine sauce dumplings can't be enjoyed by herself, Xue Ying sighed silently: "It's fine sauce dumplings, do you want to taste it?"
