Chapter 222: The Reward is Safe and Secure
The sisters didn't know Sheng Sleeping Crane's thoughts, and when they heard this, they felt that his suggestion was very reasonable, so they hurriedly sent someone to tell Gongsun Yingjiang, and the three girls hurriedly dressed up, and joined Sheng Sleeping Crane, who also changed his robe, and set off.
I don't want to think that although the sky is still bright at this time, almost all the large and small buildings on the left and right of Tianjie have hung up signs that are full.
It's not that everyone came so early, but because they had already been wrapped down by dignitaries and nobles, and they just waited for their relatives and friends to come to watch after dark.
Sheng Sleeping Crane came to Chang'an for the first time, and it has been busy in the first month, where did you think of making a reservation in advance?
In this way, I asked five or six pavilions with the best location in a row, but I couldn't find a vacant private seat.
Although Sheng Weiqiao and the three girls had been in the carriage, watching the carriage stop and go, they never asked them to go down, and they guessed that the place was not going well, and they were concerned, so they couldn't help but raise the curtain from time to time to look out.
Sheng Weiqiao silently prayed that they could find a private room with a good location and a good view as soon as possible, although it was rare for them to have the opportunity to go out at night, and when they turned back to the light market, they must visit the city in person, but whether it was their physical strength or identity, it was impossible to walk around the city for most of the night, and they must have a nearby place to settle down for rest and change clothes.
What's more, there is no condescending place, how to enjoy the bright and bright bustling scenery of the entire heavenly street?
She watched Sheng Xiang walk out of a restaurant not far away, and was feeling disappointed, but her sleeve was pulled by Sheng Weiwei beside her, and the little girl excitedly pointed to the line not far away: "Third sister, you see a lot of people lining up over there, as if they are buying something to eat?"
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, she looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw a long queue on the side of the road not far away, everyone looked eager, and the meaning of anticipation was overflowing, but the beginning of the team was a small stall at the base of the wall, and a group of female dependents were busy.
Because it was blocked by the crowd and a distance, I couldn't see what was selling, but I saw it steaming, and I thought it was a snack like Lantern Festival.
"Green Brocade, are you going to see what is sold over there?" Sheng Weiqiao has always been fond of Sheng Weiwei, although she was worried about finding a private room at the moment, she still gladly agreed to her request, and instructed Green Brocade, "If it's clean, buy more and come over, everyone will taste it." ”
He also said to Sheng Weiwei, "The things outside are not as good as at home, if they are not clean, let's not taste them, so as not to feel uncomfortable after eating, how can we look at the lights later?"
Sheng Weiwei was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she still nodded obediently: "Green brocade, you look at it carefully, if it's clean, you must buy it for me!"
Lu Jin smiled and agreed, picked the curtain and went out, and after getting out of the car, he called the two little maids, go over together, so as not to clean things, Sheng Weiqiao let everyone taste it, she couldn't take it alone.
After all, even if Sheng Weiqiao and his party were not looking for a private room, it was impossible for them to go to a small stall together...... Eighty percent of the size of that small stall is not enough for them.
Not long after they went, the chrysanthemum fence specially brought two stew cups back to the carriage: "Miss, the food is very clean, and the hands and feet of the people who make it are neat and refreshing." ”
Sheng Weiqiao smiled: "That's just right, otherwise the eighth sister will be lying in the car window watching from the time you went to buy it, if she doesn't let her eat, she may have to worry about it all night." As he spoke, he turned over the compartment in the carriage, set out a small table, and let the hibiscus take the stew pot and put it on.
At this time, there was still light outside, and it was relatively dim in the carriage, but because he wanted to eat, the hibiscus fence cleverly lit up the two brass carved moire lotus lamps in the car.
With this light, Sheng Weiqiao lifted the lid on the stew pot, and when he saw the food inside, he said softly, showing surprise, and said: "Chang'an is Chang'an, such food, is it actually sold by a small stall on the side of the road?"
Gongsun Yingjiang was originally not hungry and lacked interest, but when he heard this, he stretched out his head to take a look and said, "This is ...... Deer tendon?"
In the stew pot with a not very good texture, the crystal soft and glutinous hoof tendons between the bright red juice attract people's appetite, and there are side dishes such as ham, winter bamboo shoots, and mushrooms in the middle, and a layer of green and white green onions is sprinkled on top.
Like Sheng Weiwei, she wanted to eat before, and now she couldn't wait to turn over the silver spoon from the dark compartment in her hand, looked at Sheng Weiqiao, and waited for her to speak.
"Eighth sister, you use it first!" Sheng Wei Qiao Wan'er smiled, touched her head, looked at her cheering, and hurriedly enjoyed the appearance, Fang said to Gongsun Yingjiang, "Another cup, Ying Jiang, you taste it first, this thing is not easy to make, and it is really difficult for this roadside stall, not to mention, it is not so refreshing, there is no fishy smell after opening the lid, it seems that it should be made by experts." ”
She said this because the deer tendons are difficult to rot and the fishy smell is also heavy, so if she wants to make it delicious, it takes a lot of effort, she has to beat it three days in advance to make it as soft as possible, and she has to keep boiling water to squeeze away the smell, and then simmer it with gravy soup and chicken soup, add autumn oil and wine, and collect the soup with microfiber [Note].
This is a pure white soup, and the two cups of deer tendon in front of them have to be added with ham, winter bamboo shoots, and mushrooms to continue to simmer into a red soup, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions, which is the finished product.
Although this practice is not absolutely secret now, it is not something that ordinary people can have...... To tell the truth, although the world has been prosperous for a long time today, the deer tendon is not something that ordinary people can eat, let alone practice.
With Sheng Weiqiao's background, he is no stranger to this, and if he tastes it in any restaurant near the left, he won't care. But a roadside stall can also make such food, which can't help but make her feel "this is Chang'an in the end".
At this time, Ju Li had already left, and it was Tian'er's turn to bring two stew cups over, Sheng Weiqiao kept the cups for himself, so he called Jin Li: "You go and call my brother to come in, I can't find a private room for the time being, let's eat something in this carriage first!"
Hibiscus went out to shout, Sheng Sleeping Crane came in, saw the deer tendons, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, our carriage is spacious, otherwise it would be inconvenient at this time." ”
He usually has no habit of eating snacks except for three meals a day, but this cup of deer tendon seems to have a very appetite for him, so that after eating three bites and two bites, he saw that Ju Li continued to send it back, and said in particular, "This stew pot is too small, ask if there are bigger utensils over there, buy me a bowl!"
Hearing this, Ju Li hurriedly said: "Childe, this deer tendon is not for sale, so everyone is such a stew pot, and the slaves and maids have said good things to the people in that small stall for a while, and then let us buy it with others!"
The queue at that small stall was so long, if they were honestly queuing, how could they have brought things over so quickly?
And they didn't want their masters to wait for a long time, nor did they want to cause trouble, so they directly took the money to buy it with the people in front of the line.
I wanted to add some money to let the family line up again, but I didn't want to be told that this deer tendon didn't need money at all...... Of course, because they didn't want to queue up, they still spent money to get the people in line to let out the deer tendons.
"Not for sale?" Sheng Weiqiao said in surprise when he heard this, "Could it be that the stall is not for nothing?!"
She knows that for the sake of fame or virtue, the Sheng family is in Nanfeng County, and they will send people to set up porridge sheds at the intersection during the New Year's holidays to help the poor.
But......
It's just soup kitchens!
Even if it's not porridge, it's probably an ordinary meal, the reason is very simple: one has to take into account the cost, after all, even if it's a rich family, it's not the government in the end, with the power of a family, to support their own consumption, it's okay, to support the people of a city and a government, one or two meals is not a small amount, not to mention the porridge Generally speaking, it takes at least three or two days, and the time is even ten days and half a month. The food is too good, what if too many people come and shake the family?
The second is to consider that those who receive this kind of alms, eighty percent of them are not in a good situation, not to mention that all of them have been hungry and cold for many years, but meat and vegetables are certainly rare. In this case, eating meat suddenly can easily spoil the stomach. There is only porridge, suitable for all ages, can be restrained, and they are not afraid of eating bad people;
The three are for the convenience of the people who do it, how easy it is to boil porridge! Sheng Weiqiao will wash the rice, add water to the pot and add water and then add water, and it will be boiled when it is finished!
As for the practice of this deer tendon, although she understands something, you let her do it?
It's no wonder she's doing well!
So seeing Ju Liang nodding at this time, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said with sincerity: "Chang'an City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
It's no wonder that the people of this place regard Nanfeng County as a poor country, and look at her with the eyes of the daughter of a rich man in the countryside.
After all, although the Sheng family is known as one of the three powerful families in Nanfeng County, it is impossible to take out the deer tendons with such a color, fragrance and charity at will.
was exclaiming, but at this time, Ju Li said: "Miss, in fact, it's not completely for nothing, but you have to say a word to get a cup." Moreover, it is said that the owner of the small stall also let him prepare 10,000 cups, and they will be gone after delivery. Luckily, we came early today, so we were able to buy so much. ”
Sheng Weiqiao became curious and asked, "Say a word, what do you say?"
"'Reward is safe and sound'. Kikuri said casually, "Listen to who you are praying for peace...... It is estimated that which high-ranking son has a poor body and bones, so the elders of the family use this method to pray for him?"
At this time, Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwei were buried in eating deer tendons, and the maids were serving, helping them pay attention not to stain their dresses, Sheng Weiqiao was talking to the chrysanthemum fence outside the carriage with his head sideways, and the chrysanthemum fence was standing outside, blocked by the carriage, and he couldn't see the details inside, so the master and servant didn't find out, when Sheng Sleeping Crane heard this, his face was instantly blue, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his eyes!
"Then this son must be very favored. Sheng Weiqiao was still smiling and said, "Even if you only apply 10,000 cups of deer tendons, I'm afraid that the cost is not small." ”
As he spoke, he patted Sheng Weiwei, who had just finished eating the deer tendons and was still looking at the empty cup in front of her, and said with a smile, "Come, eighth sister, let's say together, 'Qing Reward is safe and sound', after all, although our cups of deer tendons were bought, it was because we didn't queue up, and the owner didn't ask for a penny!"
Sheng Weiwei said obediently: "The remuneration is safe and secure...... Third sister, can you let them buy a few more cups? This deer muscle monster is delicious, much better than what our chef makes!"
"No!!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't answer when he heard this, and suddenly heard Sheng Sleeping Crane shouting, which startled both sisters!
Seeing that the two girls were looking at him in shock, he woke up to his gaffe, and became more and more annoyed in his heart, but his face quickly covered up, and said with a pleasant face, "Tonight is the most lively time of the year in Chang'an, there are more delicious and fun, let's just come here, and the private room has not been found!
He also said Sheng Weiqiao, "Good girl, your body is not yet well, such a greasy thing is not suitable for use." As for the eighth sister, at her age, it's better to eat leisurely!"
These words were reasonable, Sheng Weiqiao didn't see his expression, and complained when he heard the words: "Then you can say it well!
Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled and said a few words, just Sheng Xiang came over to tell him, saying that there was finally a restaurant and a free private room, please Sheng Sleeping Crane go over and see if it was settled?
He took advantage of the situation and got out of the carriage: "Take me to see!"
The moment he turned around, there was already a gloomy owl between his eyebrows!
Note: The practice of deer tendon comes from the "Suiyuan Food List".
