Chapter 426: Pork

Fu Yuan said: "You already have a plan?"

Fu Nianjun sighed and said:

"I had to give it a try. ”

Fu Yuan saw her frowning slightly, and knew that she didn't really have much grasp in her heart.

In the past, she was often calm and calm.

Fu Yuan said, "What if you don't try well?"

Fu Nianjun paused, "If you can't try it...... Probably, I lost all the games. ”

Fu Yuan hooked her lips and said in her heart that she had a good attitude as a gambler.

No one has the ability to win every gamble, but people who always win bets are indeed bolder than ordinary people.

And Fu Nianjun is also this kind of person.

This night, Fu Yuan only felt that he woke up not long after lying down, and he didn't sleep very well, and he vaguely felt that his ears were not clean.

When I woke up, it was not yet five watches, and it was pitch black outside.

His ears didn't lie to him.

What is this tossing about?

His yard is not far from the big kitchen, the rules of the Fu family, the big kitchen is closed at night, and the Fu family does not have the habit of eating supper, this time there was a trouble, Fu Yuan immediately guessed that Fu Nianjun was playing ghosts.

He simply asked people to fetch water and get up early to wash.

There was no end to the bustle in the big kitchen, and when Fu Yuan shook his hands behind his back, he saw his faces that were red from the stove, and he didn't know what he was excited about.

When Aunt Wang saw Fu Yuan coming, she said to him excitedly: "Lang Jun got up so early, is he hungry, what do you want to eat?"

Fu Yuan thought to himself, did he look so much like he woke up hungry and begged for food?

Fu Yuan saw Fu Nianjun's busy figure, facing away from him and not looking back.

Did she wake up early, or did she not sleep all night?

The huge kitchen is filled with a rich smell of meat, and when you smell it, it really makes your mouth feel good.

Fu Yuan coughed and said to Aunt Wang: "No need, I'm just coming to see ...... What are you doing?"

Aunt Wang said: "It's the second lady, simmering meat, it's been several hours, and the lady said that it has to be simmered until the moment before it is sent to the palace!"

She sniffed sharply as she spoke, and the expression on her face was cheerful and contented.

Fu Nianjun is a good cook, no one knows better than Fu Yuan, so Aunt Wang and the others are just doing it for her, otherwise how can she greet herself at this time, but Fu Nianjun is busy in front of the stove.

Fu Yuan also felt that the taste was too tempting, and his toes couldn't help but move forward, but he felt that his image was stable, so he still asked Aunt Wang with a straight face:

"This is going to be sent to the palace, what kind of meat is she making?"

Aunt Wang said: "Pork, ah......"

Pork?!

Fu Yuan was surprised, and wondered that this taste was so different, it was pork......

Pork this thing, in the Great Song Dynasty, is "the rich refuse to eat, the poor do not understand cooking", eating pork is the work of inferior people, the imperial dining room, there will never be pork, all meals, only mutton.

The laws of the Great Song Dynasty strictly prohibit the slaughter of cattle, so beef can not be eaten, edible meat is chicken, duck, sheep, fish and shrimp, and the palace and the rich and noble, is venison, roe deer meat, roe deer meat, pheasant chicken and other precious delicacies of the mountains and seas, it can be said that in addition to cattle and pigs, there are still many good things in the world.

Fu Nianjun still chose pork.

Fu Yuan finally understood why she wanted to make a bet during the day.

If it was unfortunate, Empress Dowager Xu would have a seizure on the spot, accusing her of despising the royal family and serving the lord with cheap things, which is also entirely possible.

Fu Nianjun was reminded to know that he was coming.

She rubbed her hands, walked up to Fu Yuan, and nodded at him: "But it's noisy brother? ”

Her face was fine and radiant.

Fu Yuan said: "I'm just here to see you." You are really risky in doing so...... Where does the pork come from?"

"Before the city gate was locked, people were sent from the Zhuangzi urgently, it was the head of the Zhuangtou that they raised themselves, and the piglets were raised all over the mountains, and the meat quality was very good. ”

Fu Nianjun said this, of course Fu Yuan didn't understand.

He didn't know that she was doing this for this.

"I chose the fattest piece, there is no way, the pig that has not been fanned is not very fragrant, and the meat can only come out with some fat flavor...... Fortunately, this pig is still young......"

She still said the truth, which reminded Fu Yuan of the way she looked when she talked about poetry and scriptures.

"Incitement ......"

He frowned and repeated the word.

He felt that Fu Nianjun, as a famous daughter, was always not good to say this casually.

Fu Nianjun didn't notice it.

She has had a lot of things since she was a child and has gone to college, in fact, she is not too interested in poetry, books, rituals and music, but she likes to cook.

Fu Yuan asked her: "You chose to use pork in the dish because the Queen Mother was a ...... in her early years."

Empress Dowager Xu's family was born as a butcher.

Empress Dowager Xu's father used to be in charge of cheap business, killing pigs and sheep in the market.

Fu Nianjun nodded, "When the old man is old, the most common thing he thinks of is memory, the longer the memory, like alcohol, the more fragrant it is." I don't know the Queen Mother, I don't know her preferences. She doesn't think about eating and drinking now, whether it's because she misses the taste when she was a child, she can only guess. ”

Since the delicacies of the mountains and the sea can't impress the Empress Dowager Xu, then maybe what she likes is indeed not exquisite delicacies.

To live with himself, Fu Nianjun will still remember the bowl of sweet crisp he ate when he was a child, so perhaps, Empress Dowager Xu also misses what she ate when she was a child.

What the butcher ate the most when he was a child, the answer lies in her pot.

Fu Yuan sighed softly, "You are really bold, the Empress Dowager has been in such a position, how many years has no one dared to mention her childhood? Not to mention that the official family is impatient for people to mention his foreign family, it is the two uncles of the Xu family......

He didn't finish his sentence.

The butcher of the Xu family, the country-master, has long since passed away, but the two uncles of the country, but if you dare to say a word, you will pick up a knife and cut your master.

Back then, people threw the pig-killing knife and went to the battlefield with their brother-in-law, and killing pigs became murder, and they also made a name for themselves.

Fu Nianjun wants to send pork to the Queen Mother, isn't it blatantly reminding everyone in the Xu family that they were once butchers?

Fu Nianjun looked at the beam on the top, and had to say:

"So I said, if I lose the bet, I'll go back to the old Fu Nianjun......"

Disgusted by the Queen Mother, will the emperor and empress continue to value her and like her?

Although she can not care about what an old lady with an eccentric temper thinks of herself, but in the end it is Zhou Yubai's grandmother, if there is hope, she still hopes that he, who is not liked by her grandmother, can not conflict with the elders in the family again in marriage.

Fu Yuan paused: "Actually, it's not a small grasp...... And what you do......"

His eyes were on the small pot on the stove that was simmering.

"It should indeed taste good. ”
