Next, Xue Ying mixes the meat puree with crab meat and crab paste, adds chicken, chopped green onion and garlic, sand ginger and a little salt, mixes well, and then takes two crab shells and puts them on the meatloaf, and puts them in a yellow copper plate to steam.First, put the ingredients into the steamer to steam a stick of incense, and when the meatloaf is almost steamed, put the whole plate of crab cakes on the fire and bake it for a while, until the bottom is slightly charred, there is a faint aroma of meat, sprinkle a little green onion, and the dish is done.Xue Ying served this dish to the dining table, and the fresh aroma of crab meat occupied the whole room, and she couldn't wait for Shen Yao and Zhang Qing to taste it.Xue's gourd soup shop was closed for business at noon as usual, but at this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and it turned out that Li Jia had come over with her maid Yuehua.As soon as Li Jia entered the door, he smiled and said, "What kind of dishes made by Xue Niangzi, it smells so fragrant, it seems that I am here today." ”Xue Ying and Li Jia haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are really surprised and happy to meet at this time: "The little lady is here, sit down, I tried a new dish today, made Yunying noodles and crab cakes, if the little lady doesn't dislike it, let's stay and eat together." ”Li Jia smiled: "How can I dislike it, in these days when you are away, I want to eat the dishes you make every day."
It's just that it's not convenient for me to go out, and today my eldest brother pleaded with my mother for me, so I could come out and let off steam.I bought the rouge at Xu's Rouge Shop, and I was in a hurry to come to you, which is interesting enough. ”Xue Ying smiled: "I'm really flattered, the crab cake is not delicious when it is cold, let's hurry up and move the chopsticks." ”Li Jia said to Yuehua, who was standing on the side: "You don't have to be polite here, you can also sit down and eat together." ”Shen Yao had already taken a few more dishes and chopsticks from the back kitchen and silently placed them on the dining table.The plate of Yunying noodles in the middle was cut thin and long, the color was like snowflakes, which first attracted Li Jia's attention, and she asked curiously, "Is this a noodle?"
”Xue Ying smiled and bought a pass: "It's just shaped like a knife dial noodles, and the taste is not like it at all, can the little lady eat what it is made of?"
”Li Jia tasted a Yunying noodle suspiciously, it was not salty, the taste was sweet and soft, and there was a faint aroma of meat, and there was a hint of deliciousness in addition to sweetness, which was a novel taste that she had never experienced before.Li Jia hesitated and guessed: "It tastes like lotus root, gourd, taro, and the fresh fragrance of meat, and it seems that there are mushrooms in it, and there is a mushroom fragrance." ”Xue Ying smiled: "The little lady is right, in addition to these ingredients, red ling, water chestnut, and lily are also added, all of which are fresh ingredients that are properly ordered." ”Li Jia couldn't help but praise: "Xue Niangzi is really a wonderful idea, she can blend such ingredients together, and the taste is not conflicting, this Yunying noodles can be regarded as a treasure." ”Xue Ying didn't take the credit for herself, and said with a smile: "Yunying's noodles are made from a cookbook.It's not my brainchild. ”Li Jia took another Yunying noodle and put it in his mouth, and said without mind: "Anyway, it's delicious." ”Driven by Li Jia, the Yunying noodles in the center of the food table quickly bottomed out.Yuehua's eyes were attracted by the crab cakes on the copper plate, which showed a faint yellow color after steaming, and looked very attractive when placed together with the orange-red crab shells and green shallots.Yuehua added a large piece of crab meat to taste, as soon as the mouth was entered, the aroma of crab meat occupied the entire mouth, the crab meat was fresh and sweet, the chicken was tender, and the addition of sand ginger effectively drove away the fishy smell of crab meat, bringing a silky cold taste, making the taste richer.The best thing is that this piece of crab meat also has a slightly burnt aroma after roasting, which is even more appetizing.Xue Ying's favorite crab cake with rice, the plump crab cake has both the beauty of pork and the sweetness of crab meat, which can be called a rice killer.After everyone finished eating, Shen Yao served everyone another cup of ice and snow licorice soup.As the name suggests, it is made with licorice sweetened and ice water, which is very refreshing.Li Jia drank the last bite of ice and snow licorice soup, and suddenly felt that the power of Qiu Laohu was not so great, this meal was very satisfying, she couldn't help but sigh: "Xue Niangzi's food here is delicious, no wonder the eldest brother comes every day, if I am a man who can move around at will, I also have to come every day." ”When Xue Ying heard Li Jia's words, her face suddenly turned red.Shen Yao silently got up to clean up the dishes and said to Zhang Qing in a low voice: "I'll go to the back kitchen to count the ingredients for tonight, you can come with me." ”Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses, and followed Shen Yao to the back kitchen.Li Jia instructed Yuehua: "You go to the Banxian Building next to you to buy some jade plates and come back, Niangniang likes to eat them." ”After Yuehua left, there were only two people left in the room, Li Jia blinked and smiled at Xue Ying: "I have heard about you and your eldest brother." ”Xue Ying was startled and hurriedly said, "Did Ah Lang tell the little lady?"
Actually, we ......"
Xue Ying didn't finish speaking, and was interrupted by Li Jia: "Big brother didn't take the initiative to tell me, but he has always been running to you these days, in fact, one person likes another person, and he can't hide it."
I think my eldest brother has been in a good mood lately, and he can always smile on his face, which is rare for him.Later, I couldn't help but ask him, and he actually admitted it directly. ”Xue Ying couldn't tell what mood she was in at the moment, and she was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm ...... now I didn't plan to marry him. ”Who knew that Li Jia immediately frowned and asked, "Why?"
”Seeing Xue Ying bowing her head and not answering, she immediately realized: "Is it because of identity concerns?"
Let me tell you, my father originally wanted to marry Lin as his wife, and it was also because of the mismatch in his identity that he was forced to marry my mother at the behest of his parents.You know what happened next.Now my eldest brother and I both think that if we marry a wife, we must marry the woman we like the most, and the family will be peaceful in the future. ”Xue Ying really didn't think that Li Jia had such an attitude, shouldn't the little lady of the ordinary eunuch family strongly oppose it when she heard that her brother was going to marry a cook?
There's something wrong with this style.Xue Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "But I don't want to give up this gourd shop, not to mention, Mrs.
Tai will not agree." ”This is a problem, Li Jia frowned and thought for a while, and then said with relief: "Niangniang will naturally oppose it at first, but she has always relied on her eldest brother and is very convinced of his ideas, and she will give in later."
What's more, the eldest brother is now older, and the mother is only looking forward to him getting married, and she is not picky about the woman at all. ”Listening to Li Jiatou's analysis, Xue Ying only felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, no matter what, there was a huge gap in identity between her and Li Wei, even if Li Wei insisted on marrying her into the door, she always felt that she was a dwarf.Thinking of this, Xue Ying felt a little troubled in her heart, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I still have some cherry fried here, let's take some back with the little lady."
Sweet and sour is very appetizing. ”Li Jia said in a daze: "Actually, I am still very happy to learn that my eldest brother has someone he likes."
I thought that it was impossible for a cold and arrogant person like Brother Xiang to like others, and he was picky, but now I am finally relieved. ”Li Jia suddenly lowered her voice and said: "Let me tell you, Mrs.
Jiang later wanted to come to the house to live and take the opportunity to get along with the eldest brother, but she was blocked back by the eldest brother, I don't like her at all, I like you."
You are a frank and honest person, and your cooking skills are very good, and it would be great if you became my sister-in-law in the future. ”Xue Ying was a little flattered by Li Jia's unsparing affirmation, and she didn't know how to deal with it, but she saw Zhang Qing hurriedly come in and said, "Lady, I inquired about what dishes Liang Yongnian was going to launch on the same day!"
”The author has something to say: God assists in the appearance.PS: Humen crab cakes, I'm sorry I used them here in advance.Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2020-07-0418:31:17~2020-07-0519:53:54 ~ Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 8 bottles of dew sunflower; 1 more bottle of phoenix flowers; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 54 Xue Ying immediately asked, "What kind of dish?"
”Zhang Qing snapped his fingers and counted: "There are a lot of tricks, flying in the sky, walking underground, and swimming in the water."
There are clear venison, raw fried clams, yellow finch steamed buns......" and so on. ”Li Jia interrupted Zhang Qing's words: "Nothing else, what kind of food is this yellow finch steamed bun, I haven't heard of it at all." ”Xue Ying explained with a smile: "This is a kind of pastry invented by Huang Zhan, a famous man of this dynasty.Remove the internal organs of the yellow finch, chop the brain and wings of the yellow finch, add minced green onions, peppercorns and salt to stuff into the belly of the yellow finch, and then wrap it with fermented noodles to make a small long roll with two flat rounds, after steaming in the basket, and then fry it with sesame oil. ”Li Jia immediately sighed: "Oh my God, the method is so complicated, I am curious about the taste of this yellow finch steamed bun." ”Xue Ying's heart moved, and she said to Zhang Qing: "How about you call a few friends and disguise yourself as diners to go to Liang Yongnian's store to try their new dishes?"
”Zhang Qing frowned and said: "I often go to the annex of Xiurenfang to buy ingredients, and I often meet the guys in Liang Yongnian's shop, they already know me, I'm afraid they won't receive me." ”Li Jia smiled: "What's so difficult about this, my eldest brother and I will go to Fengle Building for you to taste it." ”Xue Ying was very grateful: "Then thank you little lady." ”Li Jia was an anxious person, so he took Li Wei to Fengle Building that night.plus Yuehua and Zheng Liang, a total of four people, chose a Qi Chu Pavilion and sat down.Xingcai saw that they were dressed like they were from a noble family, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and greeted him with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"
The small shop specializes in seafood and rare birds, as long as the customer can think of it, everything is available. ”Sure enough, the tone is not small!
Li Wei said lightly: "I heard that your restaurant has recently launched a new dish, just bring us a plate of clear venison, a plate of yellow finch steamed buns, and two light side dishes." ”Xingcai noodles are difficult: "The guest officer forgives me, fresh venison is really rare, and the yellow finch steamed buns are time-consuming and laborious, and the small shop can only provide them to regular customers."
The fried clams and lotus duck in the small shop are also very popular. ”Li Wei's face sank, and then he put a dime of silver on the table, and said coldly: "This money should be enough, if it doesn't work, invite your Liang Xingshou over, I have something to say to him." ”Xingcai saw that Li Wei's tone was extraordinary, and he hesitated slightly: "Okay, the little one will talk to the chef and let him prepare as much as possible, but the guest officer will have to wait a little longer." ”The two dishes of Xijing bamboo shoots and chrysanthemum seedlings fried came up quickly, but the devenison and yellow finch steamed buns waited for most of the hour.The appearance of the devenon is very good, perhaps with a little red yeast powder, the color is oily and red, and the green coriander is embellished in the meantime, which looks very attractive.Levi took a piece of venison and tasted it, this venison was fried first and then stewed, and a lot of pepper and rice wine were added, so there was no fishy smell at all.It tastes soft and tender, not as coarse as barbecued venison, making it a rare delicacy.But Levi put down his chopsticks after eating a few pieces, this dish of clear venison is delicious, but if you put too much oil and spices, you will inevitably get tired of eating a few more pieces.Li Jia was very interested in the plate of yellow finch steamed buns, and hurriedly took a taste, the steamed buns were fried, and they tasted crispy and flavorful, and the stuffed yellow finches inside were even more ingenious, the yellow finch meat was delicate and fresh, and the stuffing ingredients inside were delicious and spicy, and the two were mixed together in an extremely harmonious manner, Li Jia couldn't help but praise: "This dish contains staple food, but also contains dishes, and the creativity is really good." ”Li Wei also finished the yellow finch steamed bun in his hand, but his opinion was different from Li Jia: "It's just a novelty."
I still prefer to eat yellow bream. ”After they finished dinner in Fengle Building, they went directly to Xue's gourd soup shop.At this time, there were not many customers in the store, and when Xue Ying saw them coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
”It's only been two days since he saw her, so he felt that it was like two years later, he looked at Xue Ying from head to toe, and found that her complexion was much better than the last time they met, and the depression in her eyes had faded, and said with a smile: "We have tasted Qingpu venison and yellow finch steamed buns, the taste is very ordinary, far worse than the dishes you cooked." ”This is too subjective.Li Jia wants to evaluate it objectively.But seeing that my brother has been smiling on his face since he entered the store, he couldn't help but pout secretly: Don't reason with people in love.Xue Ying automatically ignored Li Wei's words, turned her head and asked Li Jia, "What about the little lady's opinion?"
”Li Wei swept over with a look, and Li Jia coughed lightly and said: "The Yellow Bird steamed bun does have a novel taste, as for the devion, it tastes similar to what I eat in other restaurants, and there is nothing unique about it." ”Xue Ying was still not very relieved, and frowned: "I think you are used to eating my cooking, so I think the dishes in Liang Yongnian's store taste average."
In fact, it is not easy to make yellow finch steamed buns.I've tried it too, and the taste is always a little bit off the mark. ”Seeing that Xue Ying was still a little frustrated, Li Wei reminded her: "In fact, as a chef, your vision should not be limited to the dishes themselves.Do you know why His Majesty insists on buying dishes from the market on the same day this year?
”Xue Ying blurted out: "Isn't it to observe the people's feelings and have fun with the people?"
”As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately realized: "Oh, I see.Therefore, the dishes prepared on the day of the same day festival do not need to be delicacies from the mountains and seas, nor do they need to be novel and interesting, as long as they are the food that the people like to eat, it can reflect the folk flavor. ”She is really smart, a little bit of it, Li Wei looked at Xue Ying and smiled: "That's right." ”Li Jia looked at his brother's gaze at Xue Ying, coughed lightly and said, "It's not too early, I'm afraid that my mother will ask me, so I'll go back with Yuehua first." ”Li Wei nodded and said to Zheng Liang, who was standing on the side, "You can also go back with Sanniang." ”It was also thanks to Zheng Liang's old age, so he was only stunned for a moment, and then left with Li Jia expressionlessly.The store was about to close soon, and only the two of them were left, Xue Ying avoided Li Wei's gaze that had been looking at her, and said in a low voice: "It's so late, why don't you leave?"
”Li Wei said in a daze: "There were a lot of things in the government yesterday, so I didn't care about it, and your complexion was much better than the day before yesterday." ”Xue Ying felt more and more embarrassed, blushed and said, "How can the little lady also know about our affairs, I thought your tone was very tight." ”Li Wei didn't mind and said: "What is there to hide from this, after a while, I still want to tell my mother." ”"Don't."
Xue Ying hurriedly said: "I haven't decided whether to marry you yet, but don't disturb Mrs.
Tai." ”Levi's face darkened: "Do you really want to guard this store for the rest of your life?"
”"There's nothing wrong with food and wine every day.What's more, after getting married, you have to be restrained, I have always been careless, and I am really not used to this life. ”Li Wei disagreed: "You have also seen Sanniang's attitude, my mother has always had a soft temper, who will restrain you?"
You can hand over this shop to Shen Niangzi to continue to open, I won't interfere. ”A woman's marriage is a big deal, a new change in identity, it will never be as simple as Li Wei said, Xue Ying didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so she changed the topic and said: "When you came just now, I made some Guanghan cakes, you can take them back and give them to Mrs.
Tai and the little lady to eat." ”Levi was stunned, frowned and asked, "Do you believe me?"
”His eyes were clear and sincere, Xue Ying couldn't take his eyes off as if he was bewitched, and sighed: "I naturally believe you, it's just ......"
Li Wei raised his hand to cover her mouth, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want it all, I just want you to believe me." ”His fingers were white and slender, and the knuckles were distinct, and she was in a trance for a moment, but he slowly removed his fingers and lowered his head to kiss them.His right hand clasped her jaw, not allowing her to dodge in the slightest, a very aggressive kiss, she only felt her heart beat faster, her mind was in chaos, his lips were so hot that it seemed to burn all the way to her heart.She wanted to refuse, but she didn't have the strength in her whole body, and it wasn't until he wanted to ask for more that she barely suppressed her trembling and muttered, "Don't." ”He was stunned for a moment and slowly let go of her, her hair bun was slightly scattered, and the place on her face that was not rouge was as bright as a bright glow, shining in the dim light, with a touching beauty, he tried his best to stabilize his mind and said: "Ah Ying, don't say anything about not marrying in the future." ”Xue Ying took a sip and said stiffly: "I want to say, how are you going?"
”Levi chuckled, "You obviously like me."
I remember that day you said to Pingfu......"
Xue Ying stepped forward and covered his mouth: "It's not too early, why don't you leave?"
”Levi smiled and said, "My memory is really bad, aren't you going to get me Guanghan cake?"
”Guanghan cake is a popular pastry nowadays.It is made by mixing glutinous rice flour, licorice water, icing sugar, and sugar osmanthus into rice paste, and steaming it in a cage drawer.Xue Ying took two plates of Guanghan cake from the back kitchen and put it in the food box, the cake has been cut into small diamond-shaped pieces, which looks as white as jade, and with the light yellow sugar osmanthus flowers, it looks very attractive.Li Wei casually picked up a piece of Guanghan cake and put it in his mouth, the powder was glutinous and sweet, with a rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers.What's even more rare is that the taste of Guanghan cake made by Xue Ying is extremely delicate, and there is no slightly rough graininess of ordinary steamed cakes.He quickly finished the cake and praised it with a smile: "It's sweet and not greasy, and my mother will definitely like it."
It's just that the name is too lonely. ”Xue Ying said casually: "Guanghan originally refers to the Moon Palace, and the Guanghan cake means that the Toad Palace is a laurel and a high armor Dengke, which is a good omen." ”Li Wei smiled and said: "But Li Yishan has a poem: Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are at night."
Although the Moon Palace is good, after all, the high place is not cold, how can it be more complete than the fireworks in the world that couples can stay together day by day. ”Yes, the house full of wealth and colorful butterflies are flying together, although it sounds cheesy, but it is what everyone wants.At this moment, Levi is also a layman, and all he wants and thinks is to be able to get to know his sweetheart.The author has something to say: I'm sorry Ni Zhan, I will use the Yellow Bird steamed bun in "Yunlintang Diet System Collection".The classmates who said that I had less sugar stayed for a while, did they smell the sour smell of love?

By the way, I cheekily pushed my pre-received article "Jade Man Comes", poke the column and see that it is based on a group of men in the Wei and Jin dynasties, I really want to write this, I hope you will support it.Chapter 55 On the day of the same day's festival, Xue Ying estimated the time and got up early to prepare the dishes.After careful consideration, she chose to make three kinds of snacks: roasted noodles, roasted golden sausage and spicy fish soup, although the ingredients are ordinary, but they are all popular delicacies among the people.Xue Ying took a piece of pork ribs, washed and cut them into large pieces, then pierced several holes between the ribs, and inserted the barbecue fork under the ribs.At this time, Shen Yao had already cooked the charcoal fire, and Xue Ying put the pork ribs on the charcoal fire and roasted them until the meat surface was golden brown, and then turned them over to roast the side with the skin.Next, put the salt, rice wine, peppercorns, and sesame oil in a bowl, mix them into pepper brine, and brush the sauce while roasting during the roasting process.The most important thing in making roasted noodles is to grasp the heat, the fire should not be too strong, because the meat is not easy to cook through, Xue Ying carefully roasted for more than an hour, the rib meat was roasted to a golden color, sizzling oil, and the smell of meat continued to attack, and it was ready to leave the fire.Xue Ying removed the roast fork while it was hot, cut the roasted ribs into large slices with a top knife, and served them with green onions and sweet noodle sauce, and served them hot.That Shen Yao was also preparing roast lamb intestines.The lamb intestines are made in advance, first whipped with vinegar and chopped green onions, and then rinsed with water after completely removing the smell.Chop the mutton, add salt, chopped green onions, pepper and dill powder into the lamb intestines and dry for a week.Shen Yao cut the sheep intestines into moderately long sections, put them into them with signatures, and put them on the charcoal fire to roast them.Unlike regular barbecue, the key to the good color of this dish is to color it with egg yolks.When the lamb intestines are half cooked, stir the egg yolks well, carefully apply them with a brush, and bake them until the filling is cooked and the surface is a beautiful golden brown, and the dish is ready.Xue Ying began to prepare for the last dish - spicy fish soup.Take the fresh mandarin fish and clean it, smear it with salt, green onions, ginger and cooking wine and marinate for a while, then put it in the cage drawer and steam it.Then chop the fish, remove the green onion and ginger and put it in a bowl.Then cut the Jinhua ham, mushrooms, and fresh bamboo shoots into shreds.Heat the pot, add the clear chicken soup boiled in advance, add rice wine, minced ginger, after the soup boils, add mushrooms, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded ham, then add minced fish, pepper, salt, vinegar, and finally add a little water starch to thicken, sprinkle a little sesame oil when it comes out of the pot, and the spicy fish soup is ready.Xue Ying also thoughtfully prepared two small plates for coriander and pepper, and diners who like these two spices can put a little more in moderation.After these dishes were ready, it was almost noon.The inner supervisor assigned by the palace to buy dishes in the market also came to the area of Yujie.This time out of the palace is Zhou Chengqing, the imperial chef, who is proficient in food and drink, and also cooks good dishes.The Son of Heaven appointed him this time to facilitate screening.At this moment, the restaurants in the area of Yujie have placed a long row of food tables at the door, displaying their own specialty dishes, and the shopkeeper himself stands at the door to buy and sell, attracting a group of citizens to come and watch, and the original wide Royal Street has already been crowded.Zhou Chengqing's daily dealings with the palace chef have experienced a big scene, facing the wine at the door of the restaurant, the sheep's head with the juice hanging silk, the raw fried lungs, the fried clams, the fried crab, the fried quails, the steamed lychee kidneys, the steamed buns, the shrimp mushrooms, the chicken mushrooms, the group of fairy soup, the barilla soup and other dazzling delicacies, and he was not fascinated by the five colors.He calmly said the names of a few dishes, and instructed the little inner supervisor next to him to come close to buy them.The selected stores are happy and proud.It's only halfway through the royal street, and the food boxes of the small inner eunuchs are almost full.Zhou Chengqing instructed: "Buy some more staple food and soup, and let's go back." ”Most of the shopkeepers in the restaurants around Yujie are middle-aged men, and it is really rare for a young lady like Xue Ying to shout and buy and sell on the street, which quickly attracted Zhou Chengqing's attention.But when Zhou Chengqing came to the food table displayed in front of Xue Ying's store, he saw that most of them were ordinary foods such as gourd soup, fish soup, roasted meat, roast lamb intestines, roast goose, steamed buns, etc., not only was he a little disappointed, but he raised his feet and wanted to walk away."
Please stay here."
Xue Ying hurriedly stepped forward to stop him."
Bold!"
The little inner supervisor on the side raised his voice and shouted: "You dare to stop Supervisor Zhou from doing business!"
”Zhou Chengqing has been in the palace for a long time, and his daily contact is with well-behaved insiders, but he has never seen such a pungent little lady as Xue Ying, but at this time he was a little interested, he waved his hand to stop the little inner supervisor, and asked: "What did this lady do to stop me?"
”Xue Ying was not stage frightened at all, and asked with a smile: "Are the nobles dissatisfied with the food displayed in the shop?"
”Zhou Chengqing took a serious look at Xue Ying, with a high bun on her head, wearing a wide-necked shirt with red sleeves and cheeks, with a pink face and spring eyes, she was a smart and beautiful little lady.Zhou Chengqing smiled faintly and said: "They are all ordinary dishes, and they are not suitable for a palace banquet." ”Xue Ying smiled and said: "These are the foods that the people of the capital like to eat, although they look ordinary, they are delicious foods that have been passed down for a long time.Your Majesty ordered the nobles to go out of the palace to buy food, didn't he just want to observe the people's customs and people's feelings?
”Zhou Chengqing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xue Ying's gaze even more meaningful, don't underestimate this little lady, what she said was irrefutable.Xue Ying saw that Zhou Chengqing's mind was shaken, so he continued to persuade: "The nobles can taste the taste of these dishes first, if you really feel bad, it's not too late to leave." ”Zhou Chengqing walked around the street for a long time, and he was indeed a little hungry at this time, and the plate of roasted noodles in the middle of the food table was golden in color and exuded a strong meat fragrance, which directly attracted his attention.Seeing this, Xue Ying glanced at Zhang Qing on the side, Zhang Qing immediately understood, took a piece of meat and dipped it in a little sweet noodle sauce, put it into a small dish and sent it to Zhou Chengqing, and handed him the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Taste it." ”Zhou Chengqing hesitated for a while, and finally picked up the piece of meat and sent it to his mouth, the skin was crispy, the inside was soft and tender, with pepper and salt seasoning, it was really refreshing and not greasy, and then dipped in the special sweet noodle sauce, it was really full of fragrant, and the more you chewed, the more you tasted.Zhou Chengqing had a smile on his face: "The little lady is very good at cooking."
The requirements for the heat are very strict, and if you want to make this dish well, you can't do it without ten years of hard work. ”He turned his head and instructed the little inner supervisor on the side: "Buy the three dishes of roasted noodles, roasted golden sausage, and spicy fish soup and bring them back." ”Levi didn't like to attend banquets in the palace, not only him, but almost all the officials were quite stunned.There is no other reason, it is really because there are too many rules for the palace banquet, and the taste of the food is indescribable, so I can't eat enough at all.On the same day, the emperor and the prince, the prime minister, the deputy minister, the privy envoy and the secretary of the ministry dined in the Yanqing Hall as usual, and the civil and military officials of the lower grade had to go to the side hall on the side.As for the officials below the seventh grade in Jingzheng, they can only eat in the corridor.Li Wei investigated and cracked the puffer fish case, smashed Xia Guo's stronghold in Bianjing in one fell swoop, and was just promoted to privy deputy a few days ago, so he was able to attend the birthday banquet in the main hall this time.Today's son Zhao Hui has just turned 20 years old this year, with a tall posture and extremely clear eyebrows and eyes.It is said that he inherited the beauty of his biological mother, Empress Ruiqing, who died young.The Son of Heaven sits in the north and faces south, and is a single person and a single seat as usual.The princes and nobles sat on the east side of the lower head, and the other officials sat on the west side, all of whom had a seat of four.At the banquet on the same day, more than a dozen wines should be drunk as usual, and every time they drink, the civil and military officials present should get up together and bow down to the Son of Heaven.After taking a seat, the internal supervisor hurriedly got on and off the wine and food, and the servants took the stage to dance, and the scene was very lively.The first wine is served with dried and fresh fruits such as citrus, walnuts, and red dates, as usual, and there is really nothing to eat.Shen Mo, the governor of the political council who sat next to Li Wei, was a fat middle-aged man with a witty nature, and he lowered his voice and said to him: "I'm afraid this banquet won't end until sunset, but fortunately, I ate mutton steamed buns at home to fill my stomach." ”This song and dance was performed for half an hour, and it was time for the second drink, as usual, after some red tape.The inner supervisor presented two more dishes, there was actually a lotus duck and a wine to burn the belly, which was not quite in line with the style of the usual banquet.Shen Mo picked up the chopsticks and tasted the lotus duck, and the taste was actually very good.He asked Levi in surprise: "Has the palace changed the imperial kitchen?"
The taste is not quite the same as the previous banquet. ”Li Wei smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty has specially decreed on the same day festival this year, and all dishes should be purchased from restaurants. ”"No wonder."
Shen Mo regretted that he had filled his stomach at home in advance at this time.Next, 3 or 4 wines were served, and the side dishes of each wine were distinctive, and the officials present suddenly felt that the long birthday banquet was not so difficult.The fifth wine is served with devenison and yellow finch steamed buns, which attract everyone's attention as soon as they are served.Zhao Hui obviously also noticed that the plate of yellow finch steamed buns has a unique shape, the skin is crispy and delicious, the yellow finch is pickled very delicious, and the filling inside is salty and fresh, with a hint of numbness, it is a very delicious appetizer.Unconsciously, Zhao Hui finished the plate of steamed buns, and casually asked Zhou Chengqing, who was standing on the side: "This yellow finch steamed bun is unique, and what is the filling used in it." ”Zhou Chengqing hurriedly said: "Back to the official's house, the brewing material in the belly of the yellow finch is the yellow finch brain and the yellow finch wings.It takes a lot of effort to make this dish, and this plate of steamed buns requires dozens of yellow finch. ”Zhao Hui listened with a smile at first, and then gradually sank his face: "The ancestors and ancestors are all thrifty, and the □□ emperor's clothes and bedding have not been changed for many years. ”The emperor actually blamed himself like this, and Zhou Chengqing immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's a small ineffective work, and the official family is also asked to punish him." ”Seeing this, all the officials present also stood up one after another.Zhao Hui's face softened, and he waved his hand and said, "Today is a happy day, so I won't pursue it anymore."
Just don't be so lavish in the future.Although I am the Son of Heaven and am supported by the world, I cannot squander it wantonly and consume the people's fat. ”After the hundred officials praised the saints, they sat down again.The side dishes of the fifth wine were also served, which were roasted noodles, roasted golden sausages and spicy fish soup purchased from Xue Ying's shop.With a smile on his face, Levi took a piece of golden sausage and tasted it.At the birthday banquet, all the dishes are put into the soup and tea box to keep warm, so it is served to the table and steaming.The skin of the mutton intestine is roasted to crispy and crispy, a bite down, the filling and juice flow out, the mutton filling is plump and delicious, with chopped green onions, peppercorns and dill powder, there is no smell at all, and it also exudes a charming barbecue fragrance, which really makes people can't stop chopsticks, and before they can drink the second wine, this dish is eaten up.Zhao Hui ate a lot of mutton and all kinds of barbecue, and felt a little greasy, but he was very interested in the bowl of spicy fish soup on the case.Zhou Chengqing observed his words, sprinkled the fish soup with coriander and moved it to him.The fish is white, the bamboo shoots are tender and yellow, and the crimson ham and green coriander are interspersed, which looks very appetizing.Zhao Hui tasted a bite of the fish soup, the fish meat was tender, the fresh bamboo shoots were crispy, and the Jinhua ham and mushrooms had a strong smell, adding a unique flavor to this bowl of soup.He drank a little more and was feeling a little unwell.This bowl of spicy fish soup is sour and spicy, just to relieve hangover, a few mouthfuls of fish soup to drink, only to feel warm, stomach and stomach ironed.Zhao Hui praised with a smile: "This bowl of fish soup is good, which restaurant made it?"
”Zhou Chengqing secretly sighed at Xue Ying's luck, and hurriedly replied: "It was made by Xue Niangzi, the head chef of the Xue family's soup shop on the south side of Yujie. ”The Son of Heaven personally inquired, and it seems that the reputation of the Xue family's gourd soup shop has been hit.Levi smiled again.At this time, an elderly inner prison hurriedly walked in front of Zhao Hui and whispered a few words, Zhao Hui's brows immediately wrinkled: "Isn't the eldest lady still in good health?"
Can you ask a doctor to come for treatment?
”The elder inner supervisor smiled bitterly: "Chen Xin from the Hanlin Medical Court has come to see it, and it's not a big deal, it's just that the stomach is not good, and it needs to be slowly regulated."
The eldest lady will rest early today, and after the palace banquet is over, the official family will not have to go over to say goodbye. ”Zhao Hui asked again: "What did the eldest lady eat for lunch today?"
”"When I returned to the official's house, the eldest lady had no appetite, and she only ate half a bowl of bamboo shoots and meat wontons, so she refused to use it more."
Zhao Hui frowned and said, "The chefs of the Baoci Palace are also useless. ”He suddenly said in his heart: "This bowl of spicy fish soup is very appetizing."
The eldest lady's body is important.I mean, so I invited Xue Niangzi from the Xue family's soup shop to cook for the eldest lady. ”Chapter 56 In the afternoon of the second day, Xue Ying had just finished busy with the store and was about to take a nap, but saw Shen Yao hurriedly come and said, "Lady, someone is in the palace!"
”Xue Ying was taken aback, could it be because the emperor tasted the dishes he made at the palace banquet on the same day, and felt satisfied and awarded the reward?
Ren Shouyi, the inner supervisor who came today, is now the inner attendant, and is the personal attendant of the Empress Dowager Huang.Seeing Xue Ying's worried face, he smiled and comforted: "Xue Niangzi don't need to be frightened, something good is coming." ”
