Xue Ying took out the unsteamed old skin and threw it away, filtered the minced meat in the basin, and left a pot of turbid broth.Then pour the broth into the pot and simmer slowly, while skimming off the floating fat and impurities, and the soup gradually becomes clearer.Shen Yao smiled and asked, "Lady, you can take out the soup and freeze it." ”Xue Ying nodded Shen Yao's forehead and smiled: "Not yet, the most important thing to be a crystal is patience." ”After Xue Ying waited for the pot of soup to cook, she carefully filtered it with fine yarn, and the rest of the broth was very clear.Shen Yao took out a large porcelain basin, poured the broth into it, and put it outside.It was the harsh winter wax moon, and in less than an hour, the broth completely solidified into skin jelly.At this point, the jelly can be sliced.If it is too thick, it will affect the transparency, and it is not easy to season; If it is too thin, it is easy to fall apart in one clip, which will affect both the taste and the appearance.Xue Ying was confident about this, and saw that she was using a knife, and within a moment, she cut the skin jelly into thin slices of moderate thickness and uniform size, and placed them in a white porcelain plate like honey-colored crystals, which looked very attractive.Xue Ying mixed a little salt, rice vinegar, garlic paste and pepper oil together to make a sauce, sprinkled it evenly on the skin jelly, and a plate of crystal clear crystal was ready.At the same time, the leg of lamb on Shen Yao's side was also roasted, the skin was golden and shiny, with cumin and pepper salt, exuding a charming aroma.Shen Yao took out the honey-fried kumquat she made a few days ago to make the fruit on the table, and this light meal was also very rich.Zhang Qing heard that there was something delicious, so he came quickly.Xue Ying filled Shen Yao and Zhang Qing's cups with Qiong liquor, got up and persuaded: "In the days when I was away, Shen Niangzi and Zhang Dalang have worked hard, thanks to you, this gourd shop can barely survive."
I'll give you a glass. ”After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.Shen Yao and Zhang Qing hurriedly got up and drank all the wine in their cups, Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Xue Niangzi is polite, they are all neighbors, and they should help each other." ”Xue Ying pointed to the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "I made some small dishes at random, it's really not a tribute, everyone must let go of the amount of food." ”Zhang Qing was familiar with Xue Ying and Shen Yao, and he was not so polite, so he cut a piece of lamb leg meat and sent it to his mouth, because it was put into a brick oven and stewed, the skin of the mutton was extremely crispy, and a bite exuded a rich mutton fat fragrance and burnt aroma, and the meat inside was very soft and tender, and there was faint juice flowing out, coupled with cumin and pepper and salt to enhance the flavor, it was simply supreme and not greasy to eat, and within a moment, this half of the leg of mutton entered his stomach.Shen Yao was most interested in that plate of crystal tart, and hurriedly took a slice to taste it, the skin was trembling, and it emitted an amber light under the light.The entrance is cold at first, and gradually, the skin freezes on the tip of the tongue, and the salty and fresh taste slowly hits.Because the pork skin removes a lot of fat during the boiling process, the taste is fresh but not greasy, and it is very refreshing and appetizing with a sour and spicy sauce.Shen Yao couldn't help but praise: "Lady's crystal is really amazing, and this knife work is the first in Bianjing City." ”The crystal is salty, fresh and refreshing, and it is best to match it with light white porridge, and after a while, Shen Yao drank a bowl of porridge with the plate of crystal porridge.Xue Ying was not very hungry, and watched them eat happily with a smile, feeling an unprecedented satisfaction, speaking of which, she was happiest to keep her own shop.Shen Yao is a careful person, and seeing that Xue Ying doesn't move chopsticks much, she hurriedly said: "Don't persuade us, lady, you can eat too." ”Xue Ying picked up a honey-fried kumquat and put it in her mouth, because the orange was fried twice with honey and sugar, the entrance was sweet and soft, and it also had the unique fragrance of oranges, and the corners of Xue Ying's mouth couldn't help but curl.When you're full of food and drink, it's time to get down to business.Zhang Qing took the initiative to ask: "Xue Niangzi, I heard Shen Niangzi say, do you plan to expand the gourd soup shop?"
”Xue Ying smiled: "Exactly."
I made a fortune in the raw silk business a few days ago, and I plan to rent your cake shop, and you can come to my shop to cook food.I just don't know what you think?
If it's inconvenient, I'll find a suitable one, and we're still a good neighbor. ”Zhang Qing is also a cheerful person, and said with a deep smile: "What's inconvenient about this."
Xue Niangzi's cooking skills are so good, and she knows how to do business, I follow you to do things, can I still suffer losses?
”Sure enough, it was good to talk about things after a full meal, Xue Ying hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we have to settle accounts with our own people, and we will come to the rent of the shop according to the market price, and we will not lose any of your money."
As well as the salaries of you and Mrs.
Shen, I will also give you a good day.Anyway, as long as I have a bite to eat, I won't starve you. ”Zhang Qing smiled: "We can rest assured that Xue Niangzi is a person, and there is no need to say this." ”Shen Yao remained silent, and asked at this time, "When does the lady plan to come back from the Li Mansion?"
”Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, she didn't care about talking to Li Wei about this matter, and thought for a while: "It won't be too long, at most, after the New Year, I will come back after taking my salary."
The thief dog should be damned, and he has the ability to copy this sentence as well.The author has something to say: Xue Ying: Say it's cold outside, go back quickly, will you die?
Ask for a collection of the file article "Jinling Xiaoshiguang", and the copywriting is as follows: fire meat is beautiful, and osmanthus is roasted with duck fragrance.The sea bass and crab can be held, and the wheat cake can be tasted.As the only daughter of the owner of Jinling Zuixian Building, Su Qing bought wine every day, and her life was still very nourishing, until her father took in the poor Xiu of unknown origin.In line with the principle of making the best use of people, Daddy hired Fang Lu to teach his daughter to study for Xixi.This gentleman is really very strict, and if he is not familiar with the four books, he will be punished; The big characters are not well written, and the palms of the hands are beaten.Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?
I'm sorry he won't.Later, Fang Lu was admitted to Tanhua, and in just a few years, he was in a high position, and Su Qing was excited in his heart: he could finally be freed!
Who knew that Fang Lu came to Zuixian Mansion to buy roast duck every day.Su Qing couldn't help but say: Mr. loves to eat roast duck so much, students can honor Mr. a few more, and they don't have to go back and forth every day.Fang Lu, who had always been solemn, suddenly turned red: Fool, I just want to see you every day.Edible guide: 1.
Food literature, a large number of Nanjing delicacies in the Ming Dynasty haunted.2.
Don't check the evidence in the air.Chapter 31 Returning to the Li Mansion, Xue Ying was a little worried about how to tell Li Wei about it.Originally, when she came to Li's Mansion, she said that she would work for two years, but now she has only been a cook for one year and is leaving, she is afraid that Li Wei will not be willing.Xue Ying felt the need to curry favor with Li Wei, thinking about it, and his cooking skills could make him passable, so let's make a small steamed cake, few people can resist this dessert.The two essential ingredients for making retort cakes are glutinous rice and red dates.Xue Ying specially selected round glutinous rice from Wuxi, the grains are white and clear, and then matched with Lingbao's special hairy dates, all of which are round and full.This cake is half the battle.Xue Ying washed the glutinous rice and soaked it in water.Soak the hairy bezoar in hot water and steam it in the pot for a while, remove the jujube skin to make jujube paste, add an appropriate amount of frosting, and steam it again until the frosting is fully melted.At this time, the glutinous rice was also soaked, Xue Ying poured the rice and water into the pot, added a small amount of frosting, and then boiled on the fire, she kept stirring with chopsticks until the rice water was viscous, and the rice core turned from white to transparent, and then the fire could be turned off.Xue Ying scooped a spoonful of rice soup and tasted it, and it was rare and faintly sweet, just right.Next, Xue Ying brought a large porcelain basin, spread a layer of jujube paste on the bottom of the basin, spread a layer of glutinous rice on top, then spread a layer of mixture of jujube paste and raisins, and finally spread a layer of glutinous rice, and the model of the cake was ready.Everything is ready, and you can steam it on the pottery.Add enough cold water to the pottery retort, put the porcelain pot into the pot and cover the pot, boil it over high heat, and see the steam coming out of the pottery retort, you can turn the heat to low, turn off the heat after half an hour, and then stuff it for a while.The steamed cake is ready.It is easy to choke on just eating retort cakes, and in winter, there is a charcoal fire indoors, and it is easy to cough and shiver with lung fire, and then make some autumn pear paste to flush and drink it.After washing the best Xijing pears, remove the skin and core, keep only the pear flesh, pour them into a pot and add water to boil, and then change to low heat and boil slowly.When it is almost sticking to the pan, strain it again, remove all the dregs of the pear flesh, and then continue to boil, stirring while boiling, until the water is completely dry.At this time, there was only a large mass of viscous translucent gelatinous matter left in the pot, Xue Ying tried it with chopsticks, and the filament could be pulled out, and the autumn pear paste was ready.She tasted it, and the taste was a little light, so she added a little black plum paste to enhance the taste.When Xue Ying came to Li Wei's room with a food box, he was talking to Liu Jingnian about things, and he was a little surprised to see her coming, and coughed lightly: "I also agree with Zicheng's opinion, the public security in Gyeonggi counties has not been as good as before in recent years. ”Liu Jingnian saw Xue Ying and greeted with a smile: "Xue Niangzi is here, what did she do deliciously?"
”Xue Ying smiled: "It's a small steamed cake, I made a lot, if Liu Yushi doesn't dislike it, bring some back to taste?"
”Liu Jingnian was about to agree, but he saw Li Wei glance at him and said, "Pingfu, don't you still have an impeachment warrant to write, it's getting late, go back quickly." ”After receiving the small steamed cake handed over by Xue Ying, Liu Jingnian inexplicably felt that Li Wei's gaze at him was a little gloomy, and his scalp tightened: "Then I will leave first." ”He glanced at Xue Ying sympathetically, it was really not easy to serve this master well.After Liu Jingnian left, Li Wei asked lightly: "You came today, did you specially deliver the cake?"
”"yes."
Xue Ying showed a flattering smile: "Ah Lang, try it, the steamed cake should be delicious while it is hot." ”Xue Ying opened the food box, and a rich aroma of glutinous rice came to her nose, the cake was red and white, the color was fresh and oily, and it looked very attractive.Li Wei showed a faint smile on his face, and tasted a piece of retort cake, which was soft and glutinous and sweet, with a strong jujube fragrance, and the addition of raisins made the retort cake sweet, with a hint of sour taste, and the taste was better and richer.Levi didn't have a big sweet tooth, but the cake candy was so sweet that he couldn't help but take a few more bites.Xue Ying handed over a glass of autumn pear paste water again, it tasted sweet from pears, and there was a hint of sour taste, greasy and appetizing, Li Wei asked casually: "In addition to autumn pear paste, is there anything else added to it?"
”Xue Ying said with a smile: "Ah Lang Mingjian, the maid also added a little black plum paste, so the taste is slightly sour." ”Levi glanced at her and smiled: "I'm afraid you're not here today just to deliver food, if you have something to say, let's just say it." ”It's not a good thing for a person to be too smart, Xue Ying smiled embarrassedly: "The little bit of careful thinking of the servant really can't escape Ah Lang's eyes."
After the New Year, the maid wanted to quit his errand at the house and go back to continue running the gourd soup shop. ”"Ahem, ahem."
Levi seemed to choke on water and began to cough violently.Xue Ying was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his back.After a while, it finally calmed down, and she couldn't help but instruct: "Ah Lang drink water slowly." ”Levi stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Didn't you say that you would leave after two years in the Li Mansion?"
”Xue Ying hurriedly explained: "It was originally intended to be like this.But recently, the business in the store has not been very good, and the maid is afraid that she will not go back, and Shen Niangzi is really difficult to support herself, so she took it upon herself to discuss with Ah Lang. ”Li Wei asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that the cost of running a gourd soup shop is not enough?"
Is there enough money now?
”Xue Ying smiled a little proudly: "A few days ago, the maid asked someone to go to Hangzhou to buy some raw silk to sell in Beijing, and made some money, which is enough to expand the gourd soup shop and hire more people." ”"Oh."
Li Wei suddenly sneered: "No wonder you are in a hurry to leave, it turns out that you have recently made a fortune."
It's just that you said you would work in the house for two years, but now you don't believe your word, which can't be justified anyway. ”Xue Ying knew that she was at a loss, so she had to slow down her voice and said, "Ah Lang, there is really no maid on the side of the gourd shop."
This matter is a little reckless on the part of the servant, otherwise, Ah Lang will give the maid less wages, and ask Ah Lang to be considerate......
Xue Ying didn't finish speaking, but saw Li Wei Huoran get up and raised his voice and said: "It turns out that you would rather ask for less wages than leave in a hurry."
Where did the house wronged you?
Didn't the matter of the glass cup a few days ago clear your stigma for you?
”Xue Ying felt that Li Wei's words and deeds today were really a little strange, he was just a chef, he thought that if he was in a good mood and said two more good words, he would let him go with a wave of his hand, but who knew that his reaction was so big.It seems that the food he cooked was so delicious that Levi was reluctant to let himself go.Thinking of this, Xue Ying smiled more and more: "Ah Lang said that, since the maid entered the house, Mrs.
Tai, Ah Lang and the little lady have all been very good to the maid.The reason why I insisted on leaving was because there was a shortage of manpower in the gourd soup shop, and I hoped that Alangduoga would understand.If you want to eat the food cooked by the servant in the future, the servant will definitely find time to go back to the house to cook.In addition, I have written down some dishes on paper and handed them to Mrs.
Chen, Mrs.
Chen's cooking skills are superb, and her understanding is good, I believe that over time, her dishes will not be worse than those of the maid. ”Li Wei looked at Xue Ying with a smile on his face, and a wave of anger rose in his heart, and he thought for a moment and sneered: "Your mind is all about that gourd shop now, but even if you run it well, you just live a lifetime."
There are cooks in the house who are well paid, and you really can't think about it. ”Xue Ying has been patiently explaining, but Li Wei has turned a deaf ear, and he is more sarcastic about himself, his disdainful tone angered her, and she sneered unconsciously: "Ah Lang, the maid is just an ignorant woman in the market, and Ah Lang has the great ambition of assisting the country and governing the people, but he just likes to cook for people to eat, so that the guests from the south and the north are satisfied."
In the opinion of the servant.It doesn't get much happier than that.What's more, before his death, the father instructed the maid to open the gourd soup shop, and the maid did not dare to forget his father's last wish. ”Levi was silent, and said half-loudly: "Got it."
I don't like to force others in my life, if you insist on leaving, just let it be. ”After Xue Ying left, Zheng Liang saw that Li Wei was just stunned, took a book and read it, but he didn't turn the page for a long time, hesitated for a moment and handed over a cup of autumn pear paste water and said, "Ah Lang drink saliva to moisten his throat." ”Li Wei took a sip casually, it turned out that it was still the autumn pear paste made by Xue Ying just now, and he was bored in his heart, so he casually dropped the tea cup to the ground and smashed it.Zheng Liang has served Li Wei for many years and knows his temperament well, silently cleaned up the broken tea cups, and persuaded loudly: "Ah Lang, I see that Xue Niangzi is a straightforward and hearty person, and she may not be able to understand your thoughts. ”Levi glanced at him and said coldly, "When did you become so talkative?"
”Zheng Liang sighed in his heart, and had to retreat silently.After Xue Ying returned to her residence, she tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep.Li Wei is a little eccentric and picky, but he is reasonable and will not deliberately embarrass his subordinates.I explained to him with kind words for a long time today, but he didn't let go, which is really strange.Hengzhu couldn't sleep, she suddenly remembered that when it snowed last month, she and Mrs.
Chen collected most of the snow on the plum blossoms in the courtyard, and they were reluctant to eat it and buried it in the ground, but now they can take it out to cook tea.Xue Ying immediately got up, pushed open the door and came to the courtyard, only to find that Li Wei was coming towards her, she couldn't help but be surprised, so she had to step forward to salute.It was late, and Levi didn't pay attention to his appearance as usual, only wearing a moon-white middle coat, draped in a black coat at random, his hair was loosely wrapped in a free scarf, and his long hairband hung down, but he looked more like a personable scholar.Under the reflection of the moonlight, Levi's face was unusually soft, and he asked casually, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
”At this time, he leaned extremely in, and a familiar incense of agarwood secretly attacked, Xue Ying felt a little embarrassed for no reason, and secretly took a step back, before he spoke: "I slept too much at noon, and I couldn't sleep for a while at night, I remembered that I buried an urn of snow water under the plum tree last month, and I came over to take it out." ”Li Wei silently took the flower hoe in her hand and said in a deep voice, "I'll take it." ”In this situation, Xue Ying didn't know what to say, so he had to silently watch him dig up the soil with a flower hoe.She suddenly noticed: his fingers were extremely slender and well-defined.Taking out the urn of snow water, Li Wei saw Xue Ying stunned, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
”The last sentence every day: The thief dog is going to die.Chapter 32After entering Xue Ying's residence, Li Wei sat down without saying a word, silently watching her sencha.Xue Ying took a small piece of Hongzhou Shuangjing tea, crushed it into fine powder with a gold utenger, and then carefully screened it with fine silk, then took out the sieved tea, put it into the scalded rabbit hair cup, and carefully injected the boiling snow water, but saw that the white soup flowers in the pot showed an elegant light yellow.Xue Ying handed the teacup to Li Wei and said, "The Shuangjing tea fried with plum blossom snow tastes flirtatious, Ah Lang can taste it?"
”Li Wei was only stunned, until Xue Ying reminded him again, then picked up the teacup and tasted it casually, and then got up and paced around the room, as if he was very distressed.Li Wei has become more and more eccentric in the past few days, Xue Ying wanted to break the embarrassing atmosphere, and said casually: "Ah Lang, don't worry, the servant will quit after the Spring Festival, there are many things at the end of the year, and it is not appropriate for the servant to leave at this time." ”Li Wei suddenly stopped, approached Xue Ying as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Do you want to stay in the mansion for a long time?"
”Xue Ying felt that his words were a little inexplicable, and asked blankly: "Ah Lang means that you want me to be a cook in the house all the time?"

”Levi stared at her for a moment and said, "Fool, I want you to marry me." ”Xue Ying was so shocked that the teacup in her hand almost fell to the ground, even if she had thought of ten thousand possibilities, she didn't expect this possibility.Levi has such a strange temperament and a good male style, how could he fall in love with himself?
She hurriedly said: "Ah Lang still don't joke with the servant, the servant really doesn't have such a blessing." ”Levi's expression was serious: "I'm not joking. ”Xue Ying looked at him blankly, and said half-loudly: "Ah Lang, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us." ”Li Wei said as if he hadn't heard it: "I know that you come from a humble background, and the identities of you and I are very different, and they don't match."
But after all, you are also the daughter of a pure white family, I will not wronged you, and I am willing to personally hire you and marry you as a concubine. ”Xue Ying listened in a daze at first, but then she saw that when he said these words, she obviously thought that she would give him a satisfactory answer without any problem, so her expression was very determined, and a wave of anger gradually surged in her heart, and she said coldly: "According to common sense, Ah Lang can take a fancy to the servant, and the servant should be grateful."
But the servant is a person who doesn't know how to lift, Ah Lang really doesn't have to be so embarrassed, Ah Lang is just young, and the future is immeasurable, and he will have his own famous ladies to match in the future. ”Li Wei heard the anger in Xue Ying's words, and felt that she was too ignorant.He now knows Kaifeng Mansion with the right of Hanlin Bachelor, and most of his colleagues are married to prestigious families, even if he doesn't want to go through nepotism, he uses his wife as a rising rank, so he has to marry a woman who is the right person to be his wife.If he was dizzy and really wanted to marry a woman in the market as his wife, Mrs.
Tai and his relatives would not agree in the first place, and all his colleagues would also regard this matter as a laughing stock after dinner, and he and Xue Ying would definitely not have a good time in the future.There is an identity gap between them, and if they want to force reciprocity, it is doomed to tragedy to put it there.So he thought about it again and again, it was better to take Xue Ying as a noble concubine, and avoid the rejection of Mrs.
Tai and his relatives.In the future, he will treat her well, but he is just short of the status of a wife.Who knew that Xue Ying didn't appreciate it at all!
Li Wei couldn't help frowning and said, "Don't be rash, I'm planning for you, are you still dissatisfied?"
”Xue Ying laughed angrily, stared at Li Wei for a moment and said coldly: "It's really embarrassing for Ah Lang, it's just that Ah Lang has bothered to plan so much, why didn't he ask the maid if he was willing?"
”Without waiting for Li Wei to speak, Xue Ying got up and said solemnly: "Daddy told the maid before his death, no matter how hard it is, he must continue to run the gourd soup shop, because over the years, the maid only wants to practice his cooking skills, and he has no intention of getting married at all."
Don't say that Ah Lang wants to accept me as a concubine, even Ah Lang wants to marry me as a wife, and I don't want to. ”Xue Ying's reaction was really unexpected by Li Wei, he got up and came to Xue Ying, stared at her and said, "You are too arrogant when you say this." ”His gaze carried the invisible coercion of the superior, but it was very strange, Xue Ying was not timid, but there was an invisible force in her heart to support her, she smiled faintly and said: "Ah Lang forgives his sins, the maid grew up in the countryside since he was a child, he is used to being rough and spicy, and he is from a humble background, so he is not worthy of a fairy character like Ah Lang."
Ah Lang wants to take a concubine, and there will be women who are more sensible and obedient than the maid, so there is no need to embarrass the maid. ”Li Wei was originally a proud and conceited person, but tonight he was willing to share his thoughts and thoughts, and patiently explained to Xue Ying for a long time, he had already broken through his bottom line, who knew that she didn't appreciate it at all.Thinking of this, Li Wei's face also sank, and he said coldly: "Xue Niangzi, you have to think about it, don't regret it in the future." ”Xue Ying's voice did not hesitate at all: "Ah Lang, the maid has fallen from the middle of the family since she was a child, and the warmth and coldness of this world have long been appreciated one by one, people like us who have nothing, are not afraid of losing anything, and they never know what regret is." ”Levi clenched his fists tightly and said, "Okay, you are really a heartless person."
Rest assured, I will pay you exactly what you pay, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on. ”After saying this, Levi immediately got up and strode out.Xue Ying breathed a sigh of relief, sat in front of the window and was stunned for a while, and inadvertently looked out the window.found that Levi was standing not far away with a wind lantern, motionless like a stone sculpture.In such a dark night, the dim light was particularly bright.She couldn't see his face clearly, she didn't know what he was thinking, she thought he would always stand there, but after a long time, he finally walked away, and the halo grew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the endless night.As soon as the Laba Festival is over, the atmosphere of the festival is getting stronger and stronger, and the streets and alleys are full of vegetables and fruits such as leeks, lettuce, orchid sprouts, mint, walnuts, and Zezhou Xuan.On Chinese New Year's Eve, there is a big ceremony in the ban, and the Shishu family sits around the fireplace and stays awake all night.On the first day of the first month, Kaifeng Mansion was released for three days, all people congratulated each other since the morning, entered the restaurant to drink and feast, even the poor and small households, also put on new clean clothes, and paid each other for wine, and the people of a city were all immersed in the atmosphere of carnival.Because she was busy with the kitchen and receiving guests for several days, it was not until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month that Xue Ying was a little free and had time to cook some food that suited her taste.Because Xue Ying was about to resign from her job as a cook, Li Jia was quite reluctant and came to her frequently recently."
Xue Niangzi, do you really want to leave in a few days?"
Li Jia asked sullenly.Xue Ying smiled and comforted: "There are many things to do in the first month, so you have to leave after the first month."
In the future, if the little lady wants to eat the food cooked by the maid, she will go to the Xue family gourd soup shop near Yujie to find me. ”Li Jia sighed: "I know, it's just that it's not so easy to see you in the future."
My brother can't see anyone these days, and my mother is busy worshipping the Buddha, so I'm really bored. ”Xue Ying's heart moved, and she asked casually, "What has Ah Lang been busy with lately?"
”"It's not that he's busy socializing with his colleagues, and he gets drunk every day before returning home, and his mother has persuaded him a few times, but he just doesn't listen.The eldest brother's temperament has become more and more eccentric recently. ”Xue Ying was silent, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, but she was an open-minded person, so she quickly changed the topic: "The little lady is hungry or not, why don't I make a crispy yellow for you to eat." ”Crispy yellow is a popular dim sum, the main ingredient is the mountain family often eaten potato, but the taste is much better than the ordinary boiled potato.Li Jia hurriedly smiled: "Okay, it's been a while before dinner, and it just so happens that I'm hungry too." ”Xue Ying took a handful of lemon seeds and sweet almonds.Crush the shell of the champie seeds, rub them into black clothes, and mash them in a mortar with the same amount of almonds.Then take out a fresh taro, wash the sediment, put it in a pot and add water to boil.After about a stick of incense, the aroma of taro hit, Xue Ying inserted it with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "It's cooked." ”After the taro dissipated heat, Xue Ying skillfully peeled off the taro scalp and cut it into slices of moderate thickness.Li Jia asked curiously, "Do you want to fry the taro in an oil pan?"
”Xue Ying smiled: "It has to be served with nuts to be delicious." ”She puts the mashed almonds, champie seeds, and a small half bowl of flour into a large bowl, adds an appropriate amount of water to stir into a thick batter, and then adds an appropriate amount of water tempeh.She fully rolled the taro slices in the batter, heated the iron pot, put a little more rapeseed oil, fried the taro slices in the pan, and fried the taro slices until the taro surface fried the hard shell, then quickly turned over until both sides showed golden brown, and the crisp yellow with a unique flavor was ready.Xue Ying smiled and said to Li Jia: "Little lady, hurry up and taste it while it's hot, it's not crispy when it's cold." ”Li Jia couldn't wait to pick up a piece of taro and take a bite, the taro meat is powdered and soft and glutinous, the taro fragrance is very full, the dough coat forms a golden skin on the surface of the taro chips, and the sweet kernels are embellished, which tastes crispy and crispy.Before they knew it, the two of them had finished eating half a plate of crispy yellow alone, and Xue Ying felt a little thirsty, so she put the roasted perilla leaves into the tea cup and poured boiling water to brew.The first brew is immediately out of the soup, do not pour the soup water, pour in the boiling water again and cover and simmer for a while, and the perilla drink is ready.Xue Ying smiled and asked Li Jia: "Does the little lady like to put sugar when drinking perilla drink?"
”"If you like it, you have to put a little sugar to make it taste."
Xue Ying added an appropriate amount of frosting to Li Jia's teacup, but she didn't add her own, she still liked the original perilla drink.Perilla drink has always been known for eliminating gastric stagnation, and it has a unique fragrance, Li Jia took a sip and said: "Xue Niangzi makes perilla drink, which seems to have a stronger taste." ”Xue Ying explained: "The smell of cyan perilla leaves is lighter, and the double-sided purple perilla leaves used by the maid have a stronger smell and are the first choice for making drinks. ”Li Jia nodded, and suddenly sighed again: "After you leave in two days, it will not be easy for me to eat these exquisite foods again."
It's the big brother, don't look at the face-to-face talk, and I don't want you to go. ”Xue Ying was silent for a moment, then took out a white porcelain jar and handed it to Li Jia: "This is the perilla leaf I baked the day before yesterday.During the days when the maid entered the house, thanks to the trust and care of the little lady, the maid thanked the little lady here. ”After speaking, Xue Ying got up and saluted Li Jia solemnly, Li Jia hurriedly held her down, and said, "Xue Niangzi, don't worry, I will go to the soup shop to cheer at that time." ”Finally, as usual: the thief dog is going to die.The author has something to say: the words and deeds of the male protagonist in this chapter......
It's a bit scum, but based on the difference in the identities of the two of them, it was understandable at the time, but the male protagonist soon regretted it, and he was going to start the crematorium mode of chasing his wife, and the scene in the copywriting was almost here.Can you imagine that in my article "Northern Song Dynasty", in order to let the heroine engage in her career, the male and female protagonists have not met for more than 30 chapters?
In this article, I want to change my past, in line with the original intention of getting a good object, in line with the simple thinking of the old peasant, try to arrange for the male and female protagonists to meet more often, hehehe.Chapter 33 After Xue Ying returned to the gourd soup shop, she was busy hiring craftsmen to re-expand and decorate.The door is framed with bamboo and wire, and the door is wrapped with ribbons and decorated with flowers to attract guests.There is also a long row of horse-repellent branches in front of the gate to prevent the carriages scurrying on the street from accidentally driving to the door of the store.In order to make the door of the store look more conspicuous, Xue Ying specially hung four inverted oval gardenia lamps with wide tops and sharp bottoms at the door, because they are fired in glass, which are transparent and bright, and look very magnificent, enough to kill the surrounding shops in seconds.The interior of the shop was also completely freshly painted, and by the time it officially opened, it was already spring.Xue Ying is still the head chef, Shen Yao is responsible for helping the chef and cooking, and Zhang Qing is responsible for purchasing ingredients and doing chores.Standing in the back kitchen of the renovated gourd soup shop, Xue Ying was full of emotion in her heart, no matter what, through unremitting efforts, she was one step closer to her ideal.Because of the recent famine in the Gyeonggi area, the purses of the small people in the market have become tighter, and the price of mutton is expensive, so the sales of gourd soup are not as good as before.In order to attract customers, Xue Ying launched a series of low-cost dishes.Overnight, the solid steamed bread is cut into thin slices, smeared with a thin layer of honey and sesame oil and baked over low heat, gradually, the surface of the steamed bread slices is golden brown, and the wheat aroma is mixed with a hint of sweetness.Put the pre-cooked lamb tripe, lamb liver, lamb intestines and vermicelli in a bowl, pour the boiling lamb soup in a large pot, add salt, vinegar, pepper, garlic and a little coriander, and a bowl of fragrant haggis soup is ready.A middle-aged man is a frequent visitor here, Shen Yao saw him coming, and greeted with a smile: "The guest officer came so early today, is it still the same?"
”"Yes, I'm going to the dock to deliver the goods, please do it quickly.""
Okay, don't worry, the guest officer will definitely not delay your business."
Shen Yao agreed, and raised her voice to Xue Ying: "A plate of crispy leaves, a bowl of haggis soup."
Haggis soup with vinegar and coriander. ”Soon, crispy leaves and haggis soup were placed in front of him.Crispy Qiong leaves are sweet and crispy, full of smoke after baking, chewing in the mouth clicking, he took another sip of haggis soup, yes, it is his favorite sour and hot taste, stimulating appetizers, and mutton bone soup unique mellow and delicious, and crispy Qiong crisp leaves can be called a perfect match.Lamb tripe and lamb intestines are also his favorite food, with chewy mouths and a mesmerizing visceral aroma.After eating this breakfast, the middle-aged man sighed with satisfaction, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Xue Ying with a smile: "The haggis soup made by Xue Niangzi is delicious enough."
I've been in the Royal Street area for most of my life.The ice and snow of the cheese Zhang family, the lotus duck of the Eight Immortal Building, the two-color kidney of the Yicheng Building, the stone belly soup of the Huang Fat family and the gourd soup of the Xue Niangzi family, are all the food that I have never forgotten, some time ago I heard that Xue Niangzi went to Li Mansion to be a cook, and this heart always felt empty, and now you come back to re-expand the business, which is really good. ”As the owner of the gourd soup restaurant, there is nothing that makes Xue Ying happier than the recognition of the diners.Xue Ying suddenly felt that the choice she made was extremely correct, she could make delicious and delicious dishes, make everyone happy to eat, satisfy her appetite by the way, and make a little money, this day is really very beautiful.Although it is not a lofty ambition, this is what she is pursuing at the moment.At noon, Liu Jingnian came to visit Xue Ying with his framed paintings.He said to Xue Ying excitedly: "It is good for Xue Niangzi's soup shop to be renovated, but if you want to make a name for yourself among scholars, you also need to hang famous calligraphy and paintings to attract viewers and stay with diners."
I have been painting this painting carefully for several days, although it is a little crude, but it is still my heart's content.I'll give it to you as a congratulatory gift for the reopening. ”
