The smile on Xue Liu's face deepened.

Originally, she was ready to suffer a loss for a while and be ridiculed by Xue Twelve, but first with lotus-scented tea, lotus crisp, and then lotus tofu bowl, the ingredients are simple, but the effect is amazing, she has a good impression of the invited cook, as long as there is no mistake in the follow-up, she can reward her with a cloud brocade.

Liu Chengxin's eyes are inseparable from this bowl of lotus pod tofu, listen to the name and look at its shape to know that it is tofu as the main ingredient, the taste is light and easy to digest, and it is easy to cooperate with other ingredients to give different tastes, and it has a unique shape, a bowl of lotus pod, in the room can feel the breath of summer, there is wind flowing, the leaves are also slightly swinging, pleasing to the eye, the ancestors of the family must like it, if it is a vegetarian dish, for the Buddha, the Buddha should like it.

So he asked Luping: "Is this dish exquisite?"

Before serving, Ah Yao mentioned it slightly, and Lu Ping was not unable to answer: "It is made of tofu and mushroom soup, stuffed with shiitake mushroom and shrimp paste, and the base of Ulva and sea rice is cushioned with tofu lotus pod, and the cook mentioned that this dish also has a vegetarian practice." ”

Liu Cheng thought about it for a while, and mentioned to Xue Liu that she wanted to buy a vegetarian recipe from the cook to take home and make it for her ancestors, Xue Liu did not stop her, but she also thought from Liu Cheng's words that she could also use this dish to give to the two ancestors of the Xue family, but unfortunately in front of Xue Twelve, she couldn't tell Lu Ping to write it down, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little irritable.

"Let's go and ask, can you buy her a vegetarian recipe for lotus tofu?"

"Yes. ”

After watching the dishes, the dishes are served with running water, crab roe egg rolls, mountain and sea pockets, lotus fish buns, braised chrysanthemums with shredded chicken, and jade belt soup.

The colors are different, and before you have a full stomach, your vision is satisfied.

The most eye-catching thing is to hold a lotus leaf.

"Is this used for the occasion?" Xue Twelve looked at the lotus leaves with a few green lotus canopies, the lotus seeds were jade white, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, the petals were hung with dew, and there was a fragrance coming out, as if it had just been picked from the lotus pond, it was not fake, it was too real.

"This is the Lianfang Fish Bun. The lotus pod that has just fallen its petals takes out the lotus seeds, and the small fish balls replace the lotus seeds and steam them in the pot. Luping introduced.

Xue Liu and Liu Chengxin gently pinched it, and the small fish balls were easily taken out, and the elasticity of the fish balls could still be felt through the chopsticks, and it was not the delicate fish meat as imagined.

Xue Twelve looked at the small fish balls, the size of lotus seeds and rice, and then threw them into his mouth, his teeth touched the fish balls, and he bit out a small stream of very fresh soup, and then the light aroma enriched the mouth, and rushed straight to the nasal cavity, the fish balls were refreshing and springy, and he could eat this fish balls made of mandarin fish, and there were no small fish bones in the mouth. The dish is small, and the chef's intentions are completely condensed in this small fish ball.

Where did she get the cook?

The chopsticks involuntarily pinched the crab roe egg roll, and the golden egg skin was rolled with golden and white minced meat, and her eyes widened.

Here's ......

Bald butter and crab meat?

Where did Xue Liu find the treasure!

Don't blame Xue Twelve for being crazy inside. Now it is almost a good time to eat crabs, but in recent days the weather has continued to be hot, it is said that the lakes in some places have dried up, and the price of fish, shrimp and crabs has risen sharply. Xue Liu's monthly case invited the cook, and gave a few taels of silver to add dishes, invited a friend, it is estimated that to the point of being short of money, it is impossible to buy bald butter, bald butter is to remove the crab paste and crab roe, add lard, ginger and green onions to stir-fry, with a variety of materials and complicated methods, the purpose of the effort is just to preserve the umami of the crab, in the season when there are no crabs.

It's really delicious, and we'll see where that cook is sacred.

Well, you have to eat more, it's delicious.

Xue Twelve's chopsticks sped up slightly, and her eyes shifted to another plate of chicken shredded stewed chrysanthemums, there was a crab roe egg roll and the famous Shanhai Dou in front, she should not have noticed that this light had a gimmick, the left was just an ordinary chicken shredded dish, but there was always a chrysanthemum fragrance that seduced her, so that her hands were uncontrollable, and she turned a corner in front of the Shanhai Dou and ran towards the chicken shredded chrysanthemum.

The sauce is as white as snow, and the shredded chicken tastes as she thought, without merit, but the bursts of chrysanthemum fragrance lingering on the tip of the nose give this dish a different and fresh feeling.

In comparison, she can't remember the food she ate at the poetry and painting party, except that the ingredients are more expensive than theirs, there is nothing surprising.

"Shanhaidou, how did you come up with this name?" asked Liu Chengxin.

Xue Twelve's eyes were also attracted, in these dishes, the lotus tofu and lotus fish buns as dishes are pleasing to people, in terms of fame, she likes Shanhaidou and jade ribbon soup, although the jade ribbon soup is actually Ulva soup, and Shanhaidou is fried bracken bamboo shoots with fish and shrimp.

The cook said that the bracken bamboo shoots are born in the mountains, and the fish and shrimp come from the lake and the sea. ”

The name of Shanhaidou originates from the "Offering of the Mountain Family", and the author believes that it is rare to encounter ingredients from the mountains and lakes and seas, so the name is set, and the elegance and talent of the literati can be glimpsed in the dishes.

"What a name. ”

The bamboo shoots are spread at the bottom of the plate, absorbing the taste of fish and shrimp and bracken, the essence is located, the freshness of the lake and the sea and the seasonal vegetables of the mountains and fields complement each other, light and fresh, and the bamboo shoots and fish and shrimp eat more than half a bowl.

The sweet and glutinous lotus root dumplings were presented at the end of the meal, and Liu Cheng was full of joy and said goodbye with the recipe copied by Ah Yao.

Xue Twelve originally read the joke, but the joke didn't happen, his face hurt to death, and he also held his stomach round, as soon as Liu Chengxin said that she was leaving, she also took the opportunity to send Liu Chengxin, and by the way, she slipped back to her yard with food.

Xue Nianzhi watched them leave at the door, and when their figures completely disappeared from view, Lu Ping said: "Girl, I asked the cook to write two recipes, one for Miss Liu, and the other for staying. As he spoke, he took out the recipe from his arms and handed it to Xue Nianzhi.

She silently recited the text above and praised: "Well done, Ming'er will give it to grandparents in the morning, they will definitely like it." After a while, he asked, "What about the cook?"

She was very happy to accept Miss Liu's money, and when she saw that the slave maid had taken it upon herself to mention the reward, she sent the person away. Luping replied.

"Then forget it. ”

Ah Yao took a windfall, and earned thirty taels of silver for a recipe, and she was in a good mood.

The daughter of the high gate buys recipes from her, hoping to use it to please the elders or anyone. This dish is not difficult, and people with a keen sense of taste may have already guessed the method when they eat it, and they can simply make it a favor and get more silver.

Dressed in the sunset and twilight, he got into the carriage, and only walked a few steps away, and the crowd was buzzing, Ah Yao lifted the curtain curiously, and it turned out that he had already walked to the other door of the Xue Mansion, and the cars and horses in front of the door were bustling, and many young men and heroines walked out, and the Wenhui banquet was only over now.

Nothing to see -

Wait a minute?

A-Yao's afterglow swept over one of them.

At the door of Xue's house, an elegant and upright scholar in green shirts stood to greet the guests.

The carriage gradually moved away, and at the last glance, she saw the scholar in the green shirt returning to the Xue Mansion, and the gate was closed.

"Meng Qianxiu. Ah Yao whispered the name.

She turned into ashes and would not forget Meng Qianxiu, but how could he appear in the capital, and how could he happen to appear in the Xue Mansion?

She was invited to Xue Mansion, was it a coincidence, or someone did it on purpose.
