readx;?“ It's so fragrant!"

Zhan Xiaoyi muttered in admiration. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he entered the kitchen, he immediately smelled a familiar but unfamiliar smell.

The smell was so familiar, and as soon as he smelled the distinctive smell of meat, he knew it was mutton.

However, it was very strange - the mutton he often ate in Da Liao had a much stronger smell of meat than what he smelled here, and it was never mixed with this kind of sweet taste.

He looked around curiously, and saw that the kitchen of this Eight Treasures Tea House was different from the big land of other restaurants.

Clean, bright, neat and organized.

There were more than a dozen stoves, each surrounded by several people, each wearing different colors.

"Do different colors of clothing mean different things?"

Zhan Xiaoyi asked.

Le Lin nodded and said, "Master Zhan knows what he knows. ”

"An Guohou, you always call me 'Master Zhan', it's really a bit outside. Zhan Xiaoyi said.

Lelin asked, "How should I call it?"

Zhan Xiaoyi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Although Zhan and Hou Ye met for the first time, they didn't know why they felt like they were old at first sight, they hit it off, and they wanted to make friends with Hou Ye, I don't know what Hou Ye wanted?"

Le Lin saw that he threw out several idioms in a row, and almost didn't say "love at first sight", shook his head, and smiled.

Zhan Xiaoyi saw Le Lin smiling and didn't say anything, and blurted out: "Do you think Zhan has climbed high?"

However, his expression was not half hesitant, let alone annoyed.

Le Lin only felt that this person's personality was straightforward and heroic, and her good feeling added a little more to her heart.

She replied, "I am honored to be friends with you. ”

"Then what are you laughing at?" asked Zhan Xiaoyi.

"I'm laughing at the idiom you use. ”

"Isn't that how those idioms are used?"

Le Lin was also stunned, to be honest, "at first sight", "one side is the same", "hit it off", there is no big problem with this situation, but it is just used together, which is a bit of a joke. Moreover, it is too obvious to sell, as if others do not know that they know how to speak...... This style is really the same as Zhan Xiaoyi's dressing routine.

She didn't know how to explain to Zhan Xiaoyi, so she had to change the topic: "Even if you are a friend, you don't want to call me 'Hou Ye', just call me 'Lelang'." ”

Lelin asked again, "What should I call you?"

Zhan Xiaoyi intuitively felt that "Le Lang" was also a cheerful person, so he didn't want to think about it, so he said: "It's good if you call me Tie Chira." ”

"Oh?"

"My real name is Shulu Tie Chira, a native of Liao. ”

"Well," Le Lin nodded and said with a smile, "I think it's more comfortable to call you 'Shulu', okay?"

Zhan Xiaoyi was curious: "Aren't you surprised?"

Le Lin smiled and asked, "Surprised by what?"

"Surprised that I am from Liao. ”

Le Lin and Chai Jue glanced at each other and exchanged glances in tacit understanding.

Chai Jue opened his mouth and said: "The **** was drunk in the Babao Teahouse, and he told this matter by himself, and was heard by the shopkeeper Shi, and he told us." ”

When Zhan Xiaoyi heard this, he knew that they had nothing to hide, but he felt that the two of them were above board, and their favor increased.

"Okay!" he stroked his palms and exclaimed: "I can make you friends who are like-minded and dependent on words and deeds, and I will not come to the Great Song Dynasty in vain!"

He looked at Chai Jue, and sighed again: "If it weren't for the noble status of the Third Highness, the three of us brothers would definitely follow the example of that Liu Guanzhang and come to Taoyuan to make three alliances." ”

Speaking, Zhan Xiaoyi learned from the storyteller, and came to a passage in "The Story of the Three Kingdoms": "The emperor and the queen of heaven are the lessons of the earth, and now there are three people, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who have become brothers with different surnames, work together to save the poor and help the needy; I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year!"

After speaking, he laughed and said, "If you can do this, wouldn't it be happy!"

Le Lin and Chai Jue were also stunned, Zhan Xiaoyi's unrestrained and enthusiastic personality was really new to them.

Suddenly, the smell of meat came again, stronger than before.

Chai Jue only felt that his stomach was about to drum, and he hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this first, smelling the aroma of the dishes here, I am more and more hungry, so let's try it quickly." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi only remembered this incident when he heard this.

He sniffed vigorously, followed the smell of mutton, and came to a stove.

There are two large clay pots on the stove, the wood is burning vigorously, and the gravy of the food in the clay pot is making a "gurgling" sound, which is very attractive.

"This ...... Is it lamb?"

Zhan Xiaoyi asked uncertainly.

Le Lin nodded: "Exactly." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi asked again: "The taste is a little different from that of Da Liao, is there any difference between the sheep breeding methods of the Song Kingdom and those of Da Liao?"

"Sheep eat grass, and the breeding method should be the same," Lelin replied. ”

"Then why is the meat so light?"

Le Lin didn't answer him, but asked the guy in brown and yellow clothes on the side, "How long has it been stew?"

The man replied respectfully: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, according to the instructions of the shopkeeper Shi, it will be stewed for an hour and three quarters, and it will be enough for a quarter of an hour." ”

Le Lin bowed, picked up the thick rag placed on the stove, opened the lid of the pot, and put several pieces into the small dish next to it for tasting.

She said to Chai Jue and Zhan Xiaoyi: "Although there is still a quarter of an hour, it is almost the same, let's try it first." ”

Chai Jue took the chopsticks handed by the man, picked them up busily, blew the hot air, and ate it.

Zhan Xiaoyi was more anxious than him, and he didn't even blow the heat, just put it in his mouth.

The hot mutton was so hot that the tip of his tongue was almost numb. He endured it and chewed vigorously.

In an instant, unprecedented amazement filled the entire mouth.

Fresh and tender!

Refreshing!

The unique sweetness of mutton is accentuated by the complex aroma of spices.

After that, there is an indescribable sweet and fragrant taste.

He thought about it for a long time before he muttered, "It's so delicious, it's so delicious!"

Le Lin smiled: "Awards, awards." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "How did this happen?"

"First marinate cumin, pepper and pepper for half an hour to get rid of the smell of mutton. Then, heat the ginger slices and star anise, and then stir-fry with the mutton evenly. ”

"Huh, isn't it stewed? Why is it fried?"

"Stir-fry first and then stew, after stir-frying well, then add water to the mutton, put in water chestnut, radish, garlic leaves and other side dishes, after boiling, soak an appropriate amount of rice wine, cover and turn to low heat and simmer for an hour and three quarters of an hour. ”

Zhan Xiaoyi exclaimed: "It's so complicated, who came up with the recipe?"

Le Lin smiled: "It's a recipe handed down by my great-great-grandfather. ”

Zhan Xiaoyi counted his fingers and counted, and suddenly said, "It's Le Gong's recipe!"

"Hmm. ”

"Ah, the 'God of Commerce' Le Gong is also a glutton. ”

Le Lin was noncommittal: "If you have money and leisure, you will naturally eat more exquisitely." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi was reluctant: "That's exactly what happened. ”

He asked, "Why do I think it's so sweet, is it some secret spice?"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce ......" Lelin lifted the lid again, and put an inch long, charred thing into a small plate.

She said: "Such an important supporting role, I forgot to introduce it to you." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi hurriedly asked, "What is this?"

"Sugar cane. ”

"Oh?"

"These two pots of mutton share half a sheep, which is only about two or three hundred yuan. But this authentic green-skinned sugarcane had to be transported from Guangnan West Road to Bianjing quickly, and the transportation money alone would cost nearly 400 yuan. ”

Zhan Xiaoyi sighed: "It's so painstaking, no wonder it's so delicious." ”
