It was said that it was coarse tea and light rice, but the old man and his mother-in-law prepared it very richly, they slaughtered a chicken raised in their own yard, and cooked a large pot of thick chicken soup, which was fragrant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition, there are several farmhouse dishes, which are colorful and pleasing to the eye.
Mo Chuan lifted his chopsticks, stared at a dish on the table, and asked, "May I ask my mother-in-law, what is this dish? ”
He was in the palace, dressed in fine clothes, and had eaten countless delicacies in the world, but he was greatly surprised by a dish on an ordinary peasant table.
The old man and mother-in-law were stunned, and were about to answer, but Shen Ning had already rushed to say, "Don't you know this dish? ”
"What's a nice name?" Mo Chuan turned his face to look at her.
She replied solemnly: "This dish is called: gold inlaid white jade plate, red-billed green parrot." ”
Mo Chuan repeated: "Gold inlaid white jade plate, red-billed green parrot brother?"
This name is indeed special enough, and it sounds good, and the more it looks like this dish, the more it looks like a jade plate, the white thing is like a jade plate, the four sides are golden and bright, and the middle is as white as jade, isn't it a gold inlaid white jade plate?
As for the red-billed green parrot, it is a vegetable, with red rhizomes and emerald green leaves, it looks like a green parrot with a red beak.
"Good name, good name! Mo Chuan praised.
The mother-in-law let out an "ouch" and laughed.
"What a white jade board, Brother Green Parrot, this little lady is really interesting, this dish is the most common, it is spinach roasted tofu, haven't you two ever eaten it?" she looked at Mo Chuan strangely.
Roasted tofu with spinach!
Mo Chuan's face instantly turned red to the root of his ears, and he glared at Shen Ning hatefully.
The more daring she gets, the fatter she gets!
actually played tricks on himself and made a fool of himself in front of these two old men, and saw how he cleaned her up.
Shen Ning rubbed her stomach with a smile and couldn't straighten her waist.
She had seen such a joke in a book before, writing about a certain emperor's private visit to Weifu, staying at a farmer's house in the middle of the rain, and having a light meal by the way, there was this spinach roasted tofu on the table, the emperor didn't know, he just thought it was delicious, and asked the farmer the name of the dish, and the farmer recited a name of "gold-inlaid white jade plate, red-billed green parrot".
Later, after the emperor returned to the palace, he never forgot this dish, and instructed the imperial kitchen to do the same, the imperial kitchen had never heard of what a white jade board and a green parrot was, and his hair was gray in a hurry.
The emperor was very happy to see that this dish was exactly the same as what he had eaten, but after he tasted it with chopsticks, he showed a look of disappointment and refused to take a second bite.
Because the taste of this dish was bland, he didn't know that he was hungry at the time, so he regarded this simplest peasant dish as the best delicacy in the world.
Shen Ning originally thought that this was just an allegorical joke, but she didn't expect such a thing to really happen in front of her eyes.
Thinking of Mo Chuan's expression of believing it, she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
Mo Chuan was so red from laughing at her, he couldn't hold anything with the chopsticks he lifted, he straightened his face, coughed heavily, stretched out his left hand from under the table, and pinched her wrist punitively.
