Li Jia was not hungry, but when he smelled the fragrance, he suddenly had an appetite again, and said with a smile: "Then I'll taste one, and the rest will be for you to eat." ”Xue Ying took another bowl and divided some of the dumplings and soup.Li Jia took a sip of the soup first, it was fresh and clear, and there was no dregs in the mouth.I took another bite of the dumplings, which are different from those sold in the market, the skin of the dumplings made by Xue Ying is very thin, and the bite is soft, but the filling is very chewy and elastic, with the unique crispness and sweetness of shrimp meat.It's so delicious, Li Jia finished eating one dumpling, and wanted to eat a second one.She looked at Xue Ying embarrassedly, who knew that Xue Ying smiled as if she understood her thoughts: "The little lady eats all the dumplings in the bowl."
I'm not hungry either, that's enough. ”Li Jia smiled embarrassedly: "Somehow, I wasn't hungry originally, but after eating a dumpling, I became even hungrier." ”Xue Ying smiled and began to enjoy this belated supper, a mouthful of soup in her stomach, it was still a familiar taste, just like what her father taught back then.If my father is still alive, I should be very relieved to see myself like this.After Li Jia finished eating the dumplings, he felt that he and Xue Ying were closer.She suddenly remembered something and said: "Does Mrs.
Xue know that Mrs.
Lin participated in the birthday banquet this time, and she repeatedly cried poor in front of her mother and eldest brother, and she had to ask her eldest brother to reduce a few years of grinding for her second brother, but Niangniang and eldest brother ignored her."
She retreated to the second, and asked the government to support some silver rice, the eldest brother said that Yulu had bought the land, and she was still cheeky to beg for food, and the mother was annoyed by her, and had promised to give her ten jars of fresh fish ballast. ”For such a superb relative, Xue Ying also felt a headache, but the most important clan relative of the dynasty, Li Weiruo went too far, so he could only give someone a handle, and thought about it and persuaded: "After all, it is a brother, Ah Lang is in a high position, countless pairs of eyes are staring, and he must always think carefully in doing things, otherwise the imperial history will hand over a sword, and impeach Ah Lang for not being friendly or unfriendly, and it will be troublesome." ”Li Jia sneered and said, "I understand the truth, but I just can't be angry."
How did the Lin mother and son treat the mother and mother back then, and how they slandered me and my eldest brother, it's not bad if I don't retaliate. ”Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered a few words to Xue Ying: "How about we do this?"
”Xue Ying couldn't help but be happy, if it was naughty and rectifying, she was unwilling to be a queen at the beginning, knowing that Li Jia was messing around, she was willing to give it a try with her.After the birthday guests said goodbye, Mrs.
Tai specially left Li Wei alone.She looked at her son from head to toe, and felt that he was fine, but he was a little stubborn, so she repeated the old words: "I am fifty years old this year, and I am also a person who is about to enter the earth with half of my body."
You are so filial and promising, I have no regrets.It's just that you haven't married yet, when will I be able to get my wish and hold my grandson?
”Li Wei felt very big, and excused himself: "My son was originally married to the little lady of the Zheng family, but unfortunately she passed away near the wedding date, and my son said that he would keep righteousness, and now it is not yet a year, and after this time, let's discuss the matter of marrying." ”Mrs.
Tai was quite disapproving: "After all, the little lady of the Zheng family has not passed the door, not to mention that a year will arrive in a blink of an eye."
I think Alain is very interesting to you, as long as you nod your head, the two families will hurry up and do it, and they will be able to marry in the spring of next year. ”Seeing that Li Wei was just silent and didn't answer, Mrs.
Tai knew that he had always been assertive since he was a child, but she couldn't force it, so she changed her tone and said: "It's Alan who doesn't like you, who do you like this little lady from a big family in the capital, so I will find the official media to ask for marriage for you."
You are almost twenty-seven years old, and you are about to reach the age of your establishment.Wang Jiayanei is now twenty-seven years old, and his sons have given birth to two, the eldest of whom has entered the school to study, and he can memorize the three-character scripture.You're still alone, and every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night. ”Mrs.
Tai is these words every time she urges marriage, and Li Wei is almost able to memorize it, but she can't disobey her will, so she has to smile and say: "What Niangniang said is that my son will also pay attention to it, and if there is a favorite little lady, I will tell you in time." ”Li Wei said again: "Because of the birthday banquet in the past few days, my son has a lot of official affairs that have not been handled, so I won't bother here, and my mother will rest early." ”Mrs.
Tai has a soft temperament and average eloquence, knowing that Li Wei is making excuses, so she has to sigh and go with him.When Li Wei walked out of the main room, Zheng Liang greeted him, and he asked casually, "Have all the guests who came to celebrate his birthday gone?"
”Zheng Liang paused for a moment and said, "Except for the Lin family, everyone else has gone back, even Jiang Niangzi." ”Li Wei sneered and motioned for Zheng Liang to step back.According to his nature, he would rather never marry for the rest of his life.He has limited contact with women since he was a child, except for his mother, who is weak and harmless, it is the Lin family that impresses her the most, she has a face in front of her father, and she has a face behind her father's back.In his opinion, most of the women are also like the Lin family, accustomed to being coy and honey-bellied.The thought of having such a person by his pillow in the future made him feel as disgusting as eating a fly.Li Wei remembered what Xue Ying said: I am willing not to marry for the rest of my life and rely on cooking skills to support myself.He suddenly envied her, although the people in the market have been working all their lives, they are free and easy, and they must live happily in that way.Li Wei had already thought about it, he would not marry in the past two years, and when he reached the age of establishment, he was really unavoidable, so he obeyed his mother's order to marry a gentle and harmless wife, as long as he was honest and obedient and did not talk about right and wrong, and took care of housework and filial piety to his mother on weekdays.The author has something to say: Urging Marriage Chapter 19 The autumn wind is rising, the crab feet are itchy, and it is a good time to eat crabs once a year.Mrs.
Tai is old, her teeth are not very good, and it is more difficult to peel the crabs, so Xue Ying decided to make wine-brewed box crabs for today's dinner.At that time, people used sea crabs to make box crabs, and there were many big meats, which could quickly peel out a full shell of crab meat, but Xue Ying chose river crabs, although they were small and had less meat, they were better than crab roe and delicious.After the crabs were steamed, Xue Ying carefully lifted the lid shell, which was filled with golden crab paste, dug them up and put them aside, cut off the crab mouth and crab eyes, and the lid for the crab meat was ready.Next, Xue Ying and Chen Niangzi carefully peeled out the paste and crab meat of the crab body, and the crab legs and crab meat were all removed, and then the crab meat and crab paste were fully mixed.The air was immediately filled with the unique sweet taste of crabs, and Mrs.
Chen smiled: "Removing crab powder is really a grinding job, and after a while, I will be hungry and can't help but want to taste it." ”Xue Ying also smiled: "Don't worry, I bought several crabs this time, except for the meals provided in the upper room, the rest is enough for us to eat." ”While talking and laughing, they stuffed crab roe into crab shells and sprinkled an appropriate amount of rice wine to stir.Then crack a few eggs, mix the egg yolk and egg white, pour it on the crab powder, wait for the egg liquid to seep into the gaps in the crab filling, and then pour a thin layer of egg wash to cover the surface.After the steamer boils, put the crab roe in and steam for a while, and the wine box crab is ready.At this moment, several maidservants brought more than ten jars of fresh fish ballast.That was done by Xue Ying last month, the method is very simple, remove the internal organs of the fresh crucian carp, wash and wipe it dry, add wheat yellow, red yeast rice, salt, pepper, dried black beans, and shredded green onions to taste, and then a layer of seasoning and a layer of crucian carp are spread in the jar and marinated, wait until the brine comes out, and then add wine to seal and store.At this time, the procurement manager of the big kitchen happened to come in to find Xue Ying: "The river shrimp that Xue Niangzi asked for is here, just caught from the river, it is very fresh, can you go over and take a look?"
”Xue Ying hurriedly went out, and before leaving, she instructed Mrs.
Chen: "There are ten jars of fresh fish ballast in the corner of the wall that are taken away by the Lin family, and the jar of fresh fish ballast next to the stove is today's lunch, don't get confused." ”After Xue Ying left, the maidservant girl in Mrs.
Tai's room came to pick up the meal, and Mrs.
Chen opened the jar of fresh fish ballast next to the stove and found that there were only a few fish left, and she was afraid that the number would not be enough, so she took another one from the jar in the corner.She thought to herself: Anyway, the Lin family is deliberately fighting the autumn wind, and it doesn't matter if there are one or two less fish in the altar.Li Wei had a holiday today, so he and Li Jia accompanied Mrs.
Tai to dinner in the room.The crab roe in the shell is semi-solidified, and the color is golden and attractive.The marinated fresh fish exudes a strong aroma of wine, and the fried cocoons are as white as jade, and everyone immediately feels that their appetite is greatly aroused.Mrs.
Tai picked up the fresh fish ballast and tasted it, the fish meat is very delicious, because it is pickled raw, but also with a crisp taste, the aroma of wine and the aroma of Sichuan pepper and green onion shreds are intertwined, and it is a perfect match with rice.She sandwiched another chopsticks of cocoon, which was sweet, crisp and tender, with the unique freshness of bamboo shoots and vegetables, which just neutralized the slightly heavy taste of fresh fish.Li Jia's favorite is always crabs, the maid moved a box crab to her hand, the steamed crab roe is semi-liquid, scoop a spoonful and send it to the mouth, the fresh fragrance spreads in the mouth, the crab meat is firm and elastic, the crab roe is plump and mellow, she scooped a spoonful and poured it on the rice, the crab paste and the rice grains are fully integrated, every bite is a rare enjoyment, Li Jia sighed with satisfaction, no wonder people say that crabs are the freshest in the water, the so-called taste of the world is just so.The box crab in front of him was quickly eaten, and there was still some rice left, Li Jia set his eyes on the remaining box crabs in the center of the dining table, and was just about to signal the maid to take another one, but Li Wei frowned and said to her: "Crabs are cold and can't be eaten more, forgot about the stomach trouble last time?"
”Li Wei is strict, Li Jia has always regarded his brother as a father, hearing him say this, although he is reluctant in his heart, he has no choice but to give up.Levi also began to elegantly eat the box crab at hand.At the end of August, the crab paste is abundant, after a short period of steaming, the meat yolk blends with each other, the entrance is sweet and tender, and there is a rustling texture, the best thing is that Xue Ying added a lot of rice wine to the crab powder, which effectively removed the fishy smell and increased the deliciousness of the crab.At this time, he thought with some regret: it would be better if there was another snowflake wine to match.After eating the box crab at hand, Levi actually had the same idea as his sister: he wanted to eat another one.But he would never be able to do such a faceless thing, so he had to take out his own cultivation efforts and barely restrain his appetite.Since you can't eat more crabs, let's try some fish.The crucian carp was small, and the maidservant who was waiting by him observed what he was saying, and put a whole fish on the plate in front of him.It's just that Levi only took a bite of the fish and frowned.Begin to drink cooked water.Mrs.
Tai noticed her son's strange appearance, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with the eldest brother, is the food unappetizing?"
”Levi waved his hand and said, "No, it's just a little thirsty." ”Li Jia, who was eating on the other side, suddenly felt a little weak-hearted, and was all looked at by Li Wei.Mrs.
Tai frowned and said, "It must be that the official affairs in the yamen are too busy today, and you don't care about drinking water." ”He instructed Zheng Liangdao on the side: "You are doing old things, why are you so careless, the eldest brother doesn't remember to drink water, you should remind him." ”Zheng Liang hurriedly came down, and after the meal was over, the people removed the dining table, and Li Wei said a few words with Mrs.
Tai, turned around and walked out of the upper room and instructed Zheng Liang: "You call Xue Niangzi to my study." ”Xue Ying has been summoned by Li Wei many times, and every time there will be no good thing, but today, she is really a little weak-hearted.Xue Ying slowly moved to the study, Li Wei only looked at her, and she didn't speak for a long time making tea, she felt that the time was really difficult.It wasn't until he finished drinking the tea in his hand that Li Wei said slowly: "I thought that Xue Niangzi's cooking skills were outstanding, but now I can't see it at all." ”Xue Ying replied cautiously: "Ah Lang said this, it must be that the servant has done something inappropriate, and I ask Ah Lang to make it clear." ”Seeing that Xue Ying was still pretending to be here, Li Wei sneered and said, "I didn't know that it turned out that I had to put so much salt to make fresh fish ballast." ”Xue Ying sighed in her heart, oh no, it must be that Mrs.
Chen didn't pay attention, and took fish from the jars of fresh fish ballast under the corner of the wall to make today's dishes.It's just that Mrs.
Tai and Li Jia didn't complain about the saltiness of today's dishes, thinking that Li Wei was unlucky, and happened to run into the jar where he secretly added salt.This matter cannot be hidden, Xue Ying's heart was crossed, and she simply confessed to Li Jia: "This matter is indeed to blame."
The maid listened to the description of the little lady, hated the Lin family deeply, and saw her lion open her mouth to ask for ten jars of fresh fish ballast at a time, so she put more salt in a fit of anger. ”Li Wei felt incredible, he didn't expect that an experienced person like Xue Ying would also follow Li Jia to act rashly, and said coldly: "It's just nonsense, not to mention the Lin family, as a cook, you should know that a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and doing so is tantamount to destroying the heavens, do you know that this spring's drought has caused many people on Shaanxi Road to not even fill their stomachs?"
”Xue Ying's tone was rare with a bit of sincerity: "Ah Lang Xi was angry, originally I planned to add a lot of salt to the ten jars of fresh fish ballast given to the Lin family, but later I felt that the food was innocent, and it was too wasteful to do so, so I only added salt to the top of one of the jars, which only affected a few fish on the top floor, but I didn't expect to be met by Ah Lang." ”Levi was angry and funny: "So, I have to blame myself for my bad luck, I can't blame you." ”Xue Ying hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The servant doesn't dare." ”Li Wei glared at her and said, "In the future, this kind of thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing a hundred will be done less."
As for the Lin family, I have my own way of dealing with her. ”Only then did Xue Ying put her mind at ease and said casually: "Ah Lang is extremely resourceful.Although we didn't get into the stream, after we finished it, the little lady and I felt very happy.In life, if you look ahead and think too much about everything, you will have a lot less fun in thinking about it. ”Li Wei was stunned, because of his childhood experience, he has always been restrained and forbearing, he is a well-known young man, the so-called life of fresh clothes and angry horses, happy and revenge, has always been far away from him.Xue Ying acted like this, he was not unenvious.Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly.Since Xue Ying entered the Li Mansion, she rarely saw Li Wei's smile, but she didn't expect the man to look so good when he smiled, like a spring breeze and the ice and snow melting, she was a little in a trance.It was rare that Li Wei was in a good mood, and Xue Ying seized this opportunity and said, "Ah Lang, the servant has a reluctant request." ”"Oh, what's the matter?"
Levi asked casually.Xue Ying looked at Li Wei's face and said, "The gourd soup shop run by the maid is not doing well now, and the money is a little unturnable, can the maid advance two months' salary?"
”Li Wei said lightly: "It's just two months' salary, is Xue Niangzi really so short of money?"
”Xue Ying generously admitted: "This is indeed the case right now.This money may not be anything to Ah Lang, but to the maid, it is the capital to run a gourd shop.The maid has been used to living a poor life since she was a child, so she has developed the habit of comparing baht. ”Li Wei was silent for a moment and asked, "So, is Xue Niangzi still planning to go back to Zhouqiao to open a gourd soup shop?"
”"Exactly.The servant didn't dare to forget her father's entrustment. ”"Okay then, I'll let Zheng Liang talk to the bookkeeper."
Xue Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Thank you Ah Lang, Ah Lang is so considerate, the maid is very grateful." ”Xue Ying prepared a cart of flattering words, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Wei: "The salary can be given to you, but I also have a request." ”"Ah Lang, please speak."
Li Wei said lightly: "I almost didn't move the fresh fish ballast at noon, so I will give it to Mrs.
Xue."
You've got to eat it all, don't waste it. ”Xue Ying's head was big, this is called self-inflicted and inviting you into the urn, so he had to agree to come down, peeked at Li Wei, and the corners of his mouth turned up again.The author has something to say: Crab Crab I Love Crab Chapter 20 September 9 is the Double Ninth Festival, and everyone goes out to enjoy the chrysanthemums.Xue Ying and Li Jia made an appointment to go to Maoluogang to climb the heights, watched the well-known chrysanthemums, peach chrysanthemums, and wood chrysanthemums, and went to Kaibao Temple to see the Lions Club, feasting their eyes.It was late when they returned to the Li Mansion, and both of them were a little hungry, and Mrs.
Tai's maidservant Qiu Shi greeted her and said with a smile: "The little lady is back, Mrs.
Tai has already rested for dinner."

I just bought half a piece of fresh mutton in the big kitchen today, and Mrs.
Tai specially ordered to keep some for you. ”Li Jia's eyes lit up and said: "There is fresh mutton, we might as well get a piece to roast and eat, after all, it is the most appropriate time to eat barbecue during the Double Ninth Festival." ”Xue Ying agreed, and after a while, the lady in the big kitchen brought an iron stove, iron skewers, and iron wires, and prepared all the seasonings.Xue Ying smiled: "It's a bit monotonous to just eat mutton, let's take some more pork belly." ”She personally went to the big kitchen to get fresh lamb shank, pork belly, a piece of sheep net oil, and a few pieces of lamb kidneys and lamb liver.The leg of lamb is cut into small pieces and skewered on iron skewers, each with a piece of white mutton fat.The pork belly is cut into thin and moderately thick slices and skewered on iron skewers, and the fat and meat are alternately skewed, which looks very attractive.Xue Ying lit the pine charcoal, and when it was fully burned, she put the mutton and pork on the barbecue.Soon, the skin of the mutton and pork changed color, the animal fat slowly seeped out, and the aroma of meat penetrated into the nostrils, Li Jia took a deep breath, this is her unforgettable barbecue taste.The fire was very strong, Xue Ying quickly turned the iron skewer to heat every part of the meat evenly, and sprinkled seasoning on it, Li Jia asked curiously: "Xue Niangzi, I see that the spices you use to roast mutton and roast pork are different, is there anything particular?"
”Xue Ying explained with a smile: "Roast mutton with cumin can improve freshness, and roast pork with garlic can relieve greasy." ”Wait until the lamb and pork skewers turn golden brown and then they are ready to eat.Li Jia didn't care about the heat, picked up a bunch of mutton and took a bite, the skin was crispy, the inside was soft and juicy, and there was a faint pine fragrance, which was the unique plump and fatty taste of mutton.The addition of cumin added a bit of exotic flavor to the mutton, and soon, the bunch of mutton was eaten.Li Jia wanted to take another string of mutton, but found that the maid of Yuehua was looking at him with a blank eye, and couldn't help laughing: "There are no outsiders in Hengzhu, you can also come and eat with me, and I will talk about the rules of the master and servant tomorrow." ”Yuehua couldn't wait for this, so she beckoned everyone to sit around the stove and enjoy the barbecue.The lamb skewers were quickly snatched up, and Yuehua retreated to the next best thing and took a skewer of pork to taste.Who knew that as soon as you entered, you were shocked.Because the pork belly has a lot of fat, the skin is roasted very crispy, the color is like amber, a bite down on the outside is charred and tender on the inside, and the full meat aroma overflows in the mouth, because of the addition of garlic, no matter how you eat it, you will not get tired of it.Xue Ying reminded Yuehua with a smile: "Roast pork with water and tempeh also has a unique flavor, try it?"
”As he spoke, he pushed the tray to her.Yuehua dipped a little tempeh in the pork, and the originally fat pork was dyed with a thick soybean sauce aroma, and the two were extremely harmonious together, and she couldn't help but eat another bunch.Li Jia curiously noticed that the plate in front of Xue Ying was different from everyone else, and asked curiously, "What kind of seasoning is in this plate of Xue Niangzi?"
”Xue Ying smiled: "I like to eat spicy food, which is filled with minced Sichuan pepper and sesame powder." ”Xue Ying's choice must be right, Li Jia did not hesitate and said: "I also want this seasoning." ”Xue Ying also made a dish for Li Jia, Li Jia put the roasted pork belly dipping in the spice in her mouth, a hemp fragrance immediately hit, she couldn't help but open her mouth to sigh, Yuehua saw this and hurriedly handed over the grape thirst water, she drank a few sips, and the numbness on the tip of her tongue gradually dissipated.Li Jia hesitated to eat the remaining pork belly, this time her tongue had adapted to numbness, but she felt that this fragrant and spicy taste was very enjoyable, and she couldn't help but want to eat it again, and soon, fine sweat broke out on her forehead.The pork on the oven was quickly eaten, and Xue Ying had to get up and roast it again.Li Jia whispered to Xue Ying: "Tell you a very happy thing.Lin Feng, the elder brother of the Lin family, was handed a complaint to the government office for robbing people's land, and the eldest brother has sent someone to investigate it in detail. ”Xue Ying asked in a low voice, "Could it be Ah Lang?"
”Li Jia made a silent gesture and sneered: "Lin Feng has always relied on the Lin family to do evil and fish in the township, so it can be regarded as his own doing.In this way, it seems that the Lin family should be honest for a while. ”really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Li Wei came in silently.Because everyone was busy eating barbecue, no one noticed him, Li Wei saw the master and servant in the room sitting around the oven and looked informal, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Sanniang, what are you doing here?"
”Everyone was startled, Yuehua and the others hurriedly got up and stood on the side, and Li Jia also stood up and replied: "Today, I went to Maohuogang with Xue Niangzi to climb the high and appreciate the chrysanthemums, and I didn't have time to eat when I came back late, so I barbecued meat with everyone." ”Li Wei glanced at Xue Ying and said lightly: "Don't always worry about eating, I asked you to copy the Zhang Raptor's Tablet, have you finished writing?"
”"I'm done."
Li Jia hurriedly smiled: "I was about to ask my eldest brother for advice." ”Li Wei walked to the bookcase and looked at the stele written by his sister carefully, although the penmanship was a little immature, but he could generally see it, and nodded slightly: "You originally practiced Mrs.
Wei's hairpin Xiaokai is good, but after all, it is more than charming, and the pen is insufficient. ”Li Jiawei said yes, and asked with a smile: "Has the eldest brother had dinner, do you want to eat some barbecue together?"
”Levi glanced at the oven: "I've already eaten it, so I'll go first."
You also go to bed early, don't make too late. ”Xue Ying suddenly said loudly: "The aroma is smelled here, Ah Lang really shouldn't taste it?"
I also specially brewed Qiong liquor, which is just right to eat with barbecue. ”The liquor is made from millet and the degree is not high, but the smell is mellow and the taste is soft, and it is also a rare wine.Levi can restrain himself in other aspects, but he can't quit drinking, so he stopped when he heard the words.Li Jia glanced at Xue Ying with admiration, she really could say a word about her brother's death.Li Jia smiled and beckoned everyone: "The barbecue is delicious when there are many people, and today I don't pay attention to the etiquette of the master and servant, you sit down and eat together as you did just now." ”Facing Li Wei, Yuehua and the others were far less relaxed and casual than facing Li Jia, and after waiting for a moment to see that Li Wei had no objections, they sat down tremblingly.Levi didn't care so much, he took a bunch of mutton and took a bite, and the fat melted in his mouth.The lean meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and with cumin on the surface, the taste is really delicious.He took another string of pork and dipped it in the seasoning, and the rich aroma of sesame powder and the sauce of tempeh blended together to make the pork more fresh.He had to admit that Xue Ying knew how to use seasonings very well, and the baking heat was very appropriate.At this time, Xue Ying had already put the Qiong liquor into the cup and handed it to him, not used for the turbidity of ordinary wine, this Qiong liquor was extremely bright in color, mellow and smooth in the mouth, but not very good.Li Wei ate a few bites of barbecue and drank a sip of wine, feeling rare and comfortable, and he was not as paralyzed as when he first came in, and occasionally laughed with Li Jia.Everyone relaxed, and soon, the freshly roasted meat was almost finished again.Xue Ying smiled and asked, "Can you eat haggis?"
”Haggis is loved by those who like it for its unique taste and aroma, and avoided by those who don't.Li Jia was obviously the former, and said busily: "I like to eat lamb liver and lamb kidney the most." ”Xue Ying cut the lamb loin and lamb liver into slightly thicker slices, sprinkled with salt and cumin, wrapped in sheep net oil and baked on the oven, the fat melted quickly when heated, and the drops flowed into the pine charcoal, making the charcoal fire more intense.Within half a burnt of incense, the lamb loin and lamb liver were roasted.Li Jia hurriedly took a string of lamb liver, and the unique burnt aroma of sheep offal came to his nose, and when he bit into it, the taste was sweet and fat, and there was rich juice overflowing.Yuehua prefers lamb kidney, the roasted lamb kidney's skin is crispy, the inside is soft and tender, and compared with the lamb liver, it has a little more flexible taste, but it also has a unique flavor.Li Jia greeted Li Wei with a smile: "Why don't you taste it, big brother, it's delicious." ”Levi didn't like the taste of haggis very much, and frowned: "I'll just drink." ”Xue Ying's heart moved and asked Li Wei: "Ah Lang has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, so he should know the eight treasures mentioned in "Zhou Li", right?"
”"That's nature."
Li Wei said casually: "Chun boil, Chun Mu, cannon dolphin, cannon gourd, pounded treasure, stained treasure, boiled treasure, liver cheek, are called eight treasures." ”Xue Ying smiled: "So, Ah Lang really doesn't want to taste the taste of liver?"
Lamb liver is more delicious than dog liver. ”It turned out that she was waiting for her here, Li Wei was stunned, and finally picked up a string of lamb liver and tasted it slightly, he had eaten haggis soup before, maybe it was not seasoned properly, the lamb liver in it was thick and hard, and he really didn't have a good feeling.Who knows that the flavor of the lamb liver roasted in net oil is completely different, there is a strange fragrance of sheep offal, but it is not fishy at all, the skin is rich in oil, but the inside is very soft, unconsciously, he ate this string of sheep liver.At this time, Wang Niangzi was afraid that Li Jia and the others would not be full, so she baked sesame pancakes in the big kitchen and sent them over.Li Jia couldn't help laughing and said, "This is really a coincidence, we are about to eat some staple food." ”This time, the sesame cake was baked thinly and there was no core in the middle, just used to sandwich the grilled meat, and the crispy crust was paired with the charred and delicious barbecue, and everyone's stomach was finally filled.Li Jia took a sip of the cold grape thirst water and sighed contentedly, autumn is indeed the season for eating barbecue.Li Wei suddenly said: "After the court meeting is dispersed in the past few days, I will go to the government office, and the food cooked by the chef in the government is really too perfunctory. ”The chef of Kaifeng Mansion uses a sheep every day, the raw materials are very fresh, but the method is very monotonous, that is, add some salt and stew, which is eaten day after day, and no matter how delicious things are, there is no appetite.Xue Ying pouted secretly: Li Wei is really interesting, what is this?
If you want to cook him a working meal, just say it.But after thinking about it, he promised to pay his salary in advance, which was kind, so he pretended to be understanding and said, "If Ah Lang is not used to eating the food cooked by the public chef, I can make some side dishes for Ah Lang to deliver." ”Li Wei waited for her words, and then got off the donkey and said, "Then there is Lao Xue Niang." ”After eating dinner and cleaning up the grill, Xue Ying returned to the residence very late, and was about to wash and rest, when suddenly the maidservant who passed the message knocked on the door to find her: "Xue Niangzi, there is an elder who claims to be a resident of Yuxi looking for you, let you go back to the soup shop tomorrow morning to meet you." ”Xue Ying was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all, it was her uncle who came!
The author has something to say: cumin is cumin.I'm also going to have a barbecue today, happy weekend everyone) Chapter 21 Speaking of Xue Ying's uncle Xue Wei, that is also a legend.When he was a child, he didn't study well, he didn't fall behind in skipping school, his father trained him, he beat him, and after that, he still did the same, so he had no choice but to let him go into business.Because Xue Wei has a flexible mind and a good personality, he has also made a lot of money.It's a pity that he is lazy by nature, and after earning enough expenses for a year, he travels around and puts his business aside.In the words of Xue Ying's father, Xue Wei is a typical little rich and safe, otherwise with his talent, he would have been rich a long time ago.Xue Wei married his wife Wang in his early years, but unfortunately died halfway through, leaving him with a man and a woman.Xue Wei didn't marry again, and after so many years of traveling around alone, he was also chic and happy.Xue Ying likes his uncle very much, and thinks that he is free and easy, a character like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and there are always endless anecdotes.Hearing that her uncle was looking for her, she hurriedly asked for leave and returned to the gourd shop early."
Uncle, what kind of wind brought you here?"
Xue Ying asked with a smile."
What a wind, northwest wind.If you want to see your niece and granddaughter, do you need a reason?
I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're getting more and more of a big girl. ”Xue Wei remembered that the last time she saw her, she was still a thin little girl, but now her appearance has grown, but she has become smart and smart."
There, there, I begged my uncle to come to see me, but I couldn't come."
Xue Ying hurriedly brewed a cup of bayberry paste water for Xue Wei.Xue Wei tasted it and said with a smile: "It's a little light, just a little thicker."
In fact, it is best to put fresh bayberry, put a little crushed ice, add a little frosting, sweet and sour, not to mention how delicious. ”Xue Ying pursed her lips, her uncle was really still the same, his mouth was extremely picky, and he had been picky about the food and drink he had made for so many years.Xue Wei returned to the truth: "I traveled to Luoyang and passed by here.Xu Dalang has come back from selling silk in Hangzhou, how are you going to sell it?
”Xue Ying hurriedly said: "I was about to ask my uncle for this matter."
As expected, the price of raw silk in the capital has risen sharply this year, and silk merchants have sold it for one hundred yuan and one tael, and some people actually buy it.I'm discussing with Xu Dalang what price is the right price for these raw silks. ”Xue Wei asked casually: "What does Xu Dalang mean?"
”"According to his wishes, we will also sell it for a hundred cents and one tael, and in doing so we can make more than double the money, but ......
Seems a bit unkind. ”Xue Wei pondered for a moment and said: "I have been in contact with Xu Dalang a few times, and his character is quite passable, but he doesn't have much opinion.The most taboo thing to do business is to be greedy for small profits, otherwise you will fall big.The government has always been very strict in controlling the price of silk, and I am afraid that there will be countermeasures to crack down on the hoarding of silk merchants. ”Xue Ying nodded and said, "What Uncle Zu said is that I think so too, you can't be too greedy."
According to my uncle's opinion, what price is appropriate?
”Xue Wei smiled and patted Xue Ying's head: "You are still young, and your temperament is too anxious."
Now is not a good time to sell, it is not good to sell at a high price, and it is not appropriate to complain to peers if the price is low.It's better to wait for this limelight to pass, and after the government finds a few silk merchants who are hoarding Juqi to make a raft, you can sell at a lower price, and you will make a steady profit without losing money, just a few less profits. ”Xue Ying's admiring gaze fell on Xue Wei: "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle." ”After talking about business, Xue Wei began to care about Xue Ying's lifelong events again: "Now that you are twenty years old, you have long passed the age of marriage proposal.If your father is here, naturally it won't be my turn to worry about it, but now that you have no father, no mother and no brother, I have to pay attention to one or two for you, do you have someone you like now?
”"Nope."
Xue Ying resolutely denied: "It's good for me to live alone, I don't want to get married." ”I haven't seen him for a few years, maybe Xue Ying's temperament has become twisted when she grows up, Xue Wei smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed, if you really fall in love with someone, I will make the decision for you to discuss marriage."
Otherwise, I don't know when I'll see you again next time. ”"Not really."
Xue Ying was very helpless: "Uncle doesn't know me yet, I have been unrestrained since I was a child, once I get married, I have in-laws, sisters-in-law, uncles and concubines, and I have to teach my husband and children, I am really not used to this life."
Now that a person is pure and comfortable, and he is accompanied by food and wine every day, he is crazy to find himself in this trouble.Isn't my uncle also living well alone?
”The character of his niece and granddaughter has not changed for several years.Xue Wei coughed and said, "That being said, women are different from men after all. ”Seeing that Xue Ying's eyebrows raised and she was about to refute, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "That's it, I can't talk about you, you can do it yourself." ”Xue Wei was originally a person who was open, and his thinking was not as conservative as that of ordinary scholars, and when he saw that Xue Ying was unwilling, he sighed: "Your stubborn temperament is exactly the same as your grandfather back then. ”Xue Ying's curiosity was aroused, and she asked, "Uncle, my father rarely mentions my grandfather to me, only that he is a businessman like my uncle.What business did grandfather do?
”Xue Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "Your grandfather is much older than me, so we don't have much to do with each other.He's a big businessman, much more than I do. ”
