Yuan also knew that Chen's mother acted according to the plan after figuring out her own thoughts, and besides, Chen's mother was her dowry girl, so what was the matter with being stared at by her son. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

She immediately excused Chen's mother and said: "Chen's mother has been by my side for decades and has always acted safely, I don't believe she will do anything out of the ordinary."

Okay, okay, I'll take back what I just said, I won't go against her, you can rest assured. I don't want the Wang family to cut off the incense yet. It's just that you also know that your aunt said that her marriage is up to her, if you really want to marry Zeng Anxin, then you asked your aunt first, you can convince her, I have nothing to say to your father. ”

Wang Zhuoyun didn't know that this was his mother's delaying strategy, but it was a good result to stabilize the situation to this point.

At least let his mother understand his attitude, so that she can take care of it, and dare not easily hurt Zeng Anxin.

As he himself said, he was at ease with Zeng, but he was just a teenager, and he just had a little bit of a liking bud, far from the point of talking about marriage, but he didn't expect that the Yuan family would make these things happen without authorization.

He suddenly felt guilty in his heart, and the original likes became a catalyst, and he felt that he had to be responsible for Zeng Anxin, otherwise he would be vain.

Now that his mother has relented, then he will find a way to persuade Aunt Guifei that when the time comes, he will marry Zeng Anxin, which can be regarded as having an explanation, and it just so happens that he also has a good impression of her.

Jiang Yao's thoughts were not known to Zeng Anxin, she was busy now.

first asked the eldest brother to make a flat-bottomed iron pot out, and then he was thinking about the freshly grilled steak for everyone to eat?

Although there was no way to invite the whole village to eat, the generous Zeng Youqu still asked those who helped kill the cattle to stay, and Zeng Anxin was busy in the kitchen with Mrs. Zhang.

After a while, Hu Feifei and Li Lamei from the same village also came to help.

He and a few women from the same village, everyone talked and laughed, and soon two tables of delicacies came out.

The last dish was Zeng An's grilled steak, and she offered her treasure and asked her eldest brother to help her move out the iron shelf, iron plate and various materials.

The firewood burned under Wangwang, the oil on the top of the iron pan was Wangwang, and Zeng Anxin cut the marinated beef into thin slices, put it in the oil and fried it, and after a while, the courtyard was filled with extremely attractive aromas.

Zhao Cai slandered his mouth, and kept anxiously circling around the iron pot, taking a look from time to time to see if the steak was cooked.

Although he used to eat raw meat when he was in Qingyu Mountain, but since he followed Zeng Anxin, he began to like to eat cooked meat, especially Anxin's craftsmanship is so good, and the color and flavor are complete, he likes it very much.

Zeng Anxin patted its head and comforted: "Don't worry, it'll be fine in a while." ”

Zeng Anxin was afraid that the villagers would not be used to eating, so he fried this steak until it was medium-rare, and then let Hu Feifei put it in the tray and serve it, and he was afraid that they would not eat it, so he used a sharp knife to cut it into pieces in advance.

Then take out the leek flower sauce, and eat it with the sauce when the time comes, and the taste is superb.

Except for Tao Hai and Hu Butcher, who had eaten the beef before, the others had only heard of its name, and had never seen its shape, and now they saw this boxy beef, and they didn't know how to put down the chopsticks?

Zeng Youqu laughed, took the lead in picking up the bamboo skewers on the table, tied a steak, put it into the vinegar of the plate in front of him, turned it around, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

While eating, he smiled and nodded, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, he had eaten a lot of modern steaks, but none of them had this good taste.

Everyone saw that Zeng Youqu had a start, and they also poked the beef pieces with their own bamboo sticks, and those who like vinegar can dip in vinegar, and those who don't like vinegar can also dip in leek flower sauce or hot sauce.

"Wow, it's so tender, it's so delicious, I don't know how to describe it, but it's the best beef I've ever tasted in my life. A young man exclaimed.

The others laughed: "It's your first time, how do you know it's the best?"

The young man blushed, "If you don't believe you taste it yourself, I think it's the best, Brother Hu, you've eaten it, what do you say?"

Tao Haiyuan didn't want to move the chopsticks, because the beef, he had eaten it in the town before, some tenacity, he was old, his teeth were not good, I was afraid he couldn't eat, but Zeng Youqu persuaded him very much, he inserted a piece of it, never thought that the beef was crispy in the mouth, it was tender and refreshing, and it didn't need to be chewed hard at all, it had already turned into delicious, lingering on the tip of the tongue, and the aftertaste was endless.

Zeng Anxin cut a piece and ate it by himself, and persuaded Hu Feifei and Li Lamei to eat it, and Zhaocai was naturally happy to eat.

Song Xiaoyue still stayed at the top of Taoyuan Mountain and didn't come back, the fat man and the timid rabbit are vegetarians, so no one grabs food with Zhaocai, let's watch it.

Although Hu Feifei's family background is relatively good, beef is not often eaten, he has only eaten it once or twice after his father when he grows so big, but it is a different feeling from today, I can't imagine that this melt-in-your-mouth is actually beef.

"Anxin, why is your beef so tender, it melts in your mouth, I've eaten it before, and I can't bite it. Hu Feifei asked curiously while eating with his hands full of oil.

Li Lamei immediately glanced at her: "This is naturally the ability to feel at ease, haven't you heard that these are all stunts, you still ask, if someone asks your father the secret of killing pigs, will you say it?"

Hu Feifei's face turned red and he grinned.

Zeng Anxin did not hide his selfishness, telling them that some people think that beef is too old because it has not been long enough, but it is actually wrong, it is because it has been too long.

In fact, it only takes a few minutes to fry the steak, and some people like to eat the bloodshot ones, or even only need to fry them for two or three minutes? Do you think that the chefs have cooked the beef with ingredients for a few hours, so the beef still tastes?

After the adults in the house finished eating, they asked if there was anything else, Zeng Anxin quickly washed his hands, and roasted it again, looking at Li Lamei adding firewood, she suddenly rolled her eyes: "Which of you has charcoal, it is best to make charcoal made of sweet fruit wood, and grilling this steak with such fruit charcoal is even more delicious." ”

Hu Feifei, who couldn't stop eating, immediately raised her hand, saying that she had charcoal at home, and quickly turned around and ran home, carrying a basket of charcoal in a short time.

The three girls hurriedly withdrew the firewood, loaded it with charcoal, lit the fire and blew smoke.

When the charcoal-grilled steak came out of the oven, he didn't wait for it to be served, Hu Feifei grabbed a piece, fanned his mouth while eating, and swallowed his saliva: "Well, it's delicious, it's so delicious." ”

Li Lamei scolded her with a smile: "Hu Feifei, are you a pig reincarnated? Why are you so unruly, the adults at the table haven't eaten yet." ”

Zeng Anxin simply handed her a piece, kept a piece for himself and Zhaocai, and smiled with the girl, and then brought the rest to the table.

Everyone saw that this steak was different from just now, the fried two sides were golden, and there was a faint fragrance, and they all asked how it was made.

Zeng Anxin smiled: "Thank you Uncle Hu's charcoal, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make this charcoal-grilled steak." ”

Butcher Hu had already poured most of the jar of wine, and his words were unreasonable at the moment, and he waved his big hand like a fan and said: "What is a little charcoal, don't worry, go back to my house to get it, take it all, it doesn't hurt." Big brother Zeng, little brother I, hiccup, I will toast you again. ”

Zeng Anxin saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he roasted the last bit of beef, put the plate into the basket, and then decorated it with chili sauce and leek flower sauce, greeted Zhang, and walked to Mr. You's thatched house.

Zhaocai immediately swallowed the meat on the plate in two bites, wagged his tail and followed.

Such a good delicacy, of course, you have to take it to honor Mr. You.

If it weren't for his recommendation, where would her show be straight, and how could she get so many rewards?

Zeng Anxin walked to Mr. You's door, and was about to knock on the door, when he suddenly heard Mr. You's excited voice from the house: "This smell, it's so fragrant, I guess, it must be Anxin's coming! Haha, I heard that your family hunted a bison in the afternoon, could it be a delicacy made of bison meat?"

Anxin pursed his lips and smiled, Mr. You's nose was Ling, and he didn't knock on the door, he directly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Sir, you can't make a dog's nose, and when I get to the door, you can smell it. Zeng Anxin knew that Mr. You didn't like secular rules the most, so it was no big or small to talk to him.

It's just that she didn't expect that there was not just Mr. You sitting in the room, but also a person, and it was an acquaintance.

"Peace of mind, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you, do you miss me?" A parrot pounced from the roof beam and crashed directly into Zeng Anxin's arms, and his speech was so numb, who else was there except the parrot Xilingchu?

Zeng Anxin pulled the parrot Xiling Chu from his chest, saluted the people in the house, and said coquettishly: "You will miss me, only God knows, if it weren't for the prince coming to visit Mr. You, I'm afraid you would have been happy, right?"

The parrot Xiling Chu immediately turned his little bean eyes, flapped his wings, and flew over, his tone full of flattery: "Don't worry, I'm so sad when you say this." I really miss you, how can I not be happy, you don't know that I live a very painful life every day, do you know what it is like to fall in love with someone? If this person still doesn't love you, do you know how painful it is?"

Zeng Anxin raised his hand to stop it from going crazy: "Stop, you are not in love with a person, but a bird." Also, you bring on yourself to be miserable. ”

Shangguan Shen looked at this person and a bird talking, it was really funny, and he immediately laughed: "Miss Zeng, we met again, I don't know if Miss Zeng still remembers the words of that day?"

Zeng Anxin immediately swept his eyes towards the parrot Xiling Chu, it must be this guy who betrayed himself.

How could Mr. You talk about himself in a good manner, only it must have been tempted by the beautiful male parrot, so he betrayed to its owner.

The parrot Xiling Chu was pitiful, looked at Zeng Anxin with blank eyes, and lowered his head: "Anxin, I, I didn't say anything, I just said that your surname is Zeng, the third in the family, and there are two older brothers above, what are their names, I just said this little bit, and I really didn't reveal more secrets." You believe me, I really didn't tell him that your cooking skills are super good, and you know a lot of things, you can embroider, you can play the piano, you can dance, I really didn't say that. ”

Zeng An'an stroked his forehead, silly bird, you have said it now!

Shangguan Shen laughed again, only feeling that this trip was really worth it.

Mr. You ignored the conversation between Anxin and the parrot Xilingchu, and went directly to lift the basket, and when the grilled steak was served, his eyes were straight, and he looked at Zeng Anxin in amazement: "What kind of novel food is this?"

Zeng Anxin hurriedly explained: "It's not a novel food, it's just charcoal-grilled steak." ”

Shangguan Shen also walked over, and when he saw that the beef was boxy, the two sides of the roast were golden, and there were many small dots of black sesame seeds sprinkled on it, and he became curious: "Charcoal-grilled steak?

"Of course you can, the prince can eat it, and it's also a blessing for this piece of beef. Mr. You, you said yes, right?"

Mr. You knocked her with a pop, "Slippery little girl." Why don't you go to the kitchen and get the dishes. ”

Zeng Anxin pouted, rubbed his forehead, quickly shook his head, and introduced: "Because it's too late today, when I'm free in the future, I'll ask my eldest brother to make a complete set of knives and forks, and tonight Mr. and the prince will use this bamboo skewer to try it." This steak can't be eaten with chopsticks, but with a knife and fork to have its artistic conception and taste. ”

It would be even better if there was a red wine to accompany it!

"Oh, this is the first time the king has heard of such an interesting thing. I wonder if Miss Zeng can show us that?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Zeng Anxin untied an extremely sharp small dagger from his ankle, and at that moment, although Shangguan Shen's body did not move, he saw several black shadows faintly flashing around.

Zeng Anxin knew that she was concentrating on holding down the steak with a bamboo skewer, cutting the meat into pieces with a dagger, and after cutting it, she used the sharp end of the bamboo skewer to tie up a small piece of it, put it on the plate of leek sauce and rolled it, and put it in her mouth to eat it with great enjoyment.

Mr. You saw the novelty, and also took a clean bamboo skewer on the side and tried it, but this cut steak looks easy, but it is really not easy to make it at first.

Zeng Anxin made it so handy, and it also originated from the fact that he often eats it in modern times.

However, Shangguan learned very quickly, and at first the two pieces were cut into pieces, but by the time the third piece arrived, it was already very good.

He didn't use the bamboo skewer, but directly pierced a piece of meat with the tip of the dagger, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it, and opened his eyes for a while, his star-like eyes were full of light: "What a delicious taste." Miss Zeng, what did you just say, what is this called?"

"Charcoal-grilled steak. It is made of charcoal made of fruit wood. Then Zeng Anxin told the process of grilling the steak.

Shangguan Shen was even more surprised, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face: "Miss Zeng, I didn't ask you about the formula, I was just curious, and you don't need to say it." ”

"Nothing, with such a smart head as the prince, presumably the chef in the palace can know as long as he uses his brains a little, why don't I send a favor." ”

Zeng Anxin said so refreshingly, of course, one is to send a favor, and the other is that the reason why this steak is delicious and tastes very delicious is because she washed it with the spring water of Youran Farm before, and added it to the sauce with Xianchi water to marinate the fresh beef.

Coupled with the grasp of the heat during the roasting in the later stage, this melt-in-your-mouth flavor is born.

Just knowing the process, you may not be able to make the same delicious taste, which is like tens of thousands of recipes on modern computers, but the taste made by different people is diametrically opposite.

Shangguan Shen saw that Zeng Anxin was so down-to-earth and generous, but he glanced at her, and his good impression was even greater.

Mr. You used to go to where to eat, there was a special person to wait, that was boring, today like this, it is very interesting, the more bad, the more with the piece of cattle on the shoulder, until the beef cut to pieces, cruel, he himself is very happy.

Zeng Anxin thought that Shangguan Shen came to visit Mr. You, there must be something wrong, and his own things were delivered, and staying here would prevent the two of them from talking about serious matters, so he had to leave.

Shangguan Shen smiled and said, "When does Miss Zeng plan to fulfill her promise?"

Mr. You asked curiously, what is the agreement between the two of them? Shangguan Shen said what happened on the night of the Spring Festival Opera, and Mr. You smiled and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, rest assured, I made a decision for you, why don't you do it tomorrow?" It just so happens that I have some personal matters to do tomorrow, so you can greet Prince Shen in place of the teacher, and take him to see the customs of this Taoyuan Village and eat the taste of this rural village, how about it?"

When Zeng Anxin heard the word "teacher", he immediately smiled and narrowed his apricot eyes, and said in a crisp voice: "Anxin will obey the teacher's orders." ”

In the past, Mr. You only agreed to be a friend to borrow books, why did he suddenly say such a thing today, regardless of whether it was true or not, anyway, it must be a great thing to be able to recognize a capable person like Mr. You as a teacher, where can she not climb the pole.

Prince Shen was really surprised: "Miss Yuan Kaizeng is Mr.'s newly accepted apprentice, no wonder she is so generous and extraordinary." ”

Mr. You immediately smiled and said: "Not only her, but also Wang Zhuoyun, the son of Taoyuan County, I saw that the young man was heroic and quick-witted, and he was also accepted as an apprentice, but he had not said it before, but because they were still in the assessment period, after the Spring Festival, I saw that the two of them acted properly, which was very much in line with my heart, so I said it now, but You Mou has always hated the etiquette rules of the world, and he has to limit the truth that the teacher is the teacher and the apprentice is the apprentice, and I don't like to make any worship ceremony." You Mou thinks that there must be my master in the threesome, sometimes the apprentice may not know less than the master, but he is not good at the master's knowledge, just as I am not good at the way of the kitchen, and I am also my master in this regard. ”

"Good teacher and friend, what Mr. You said is extremely reasonable. ”

Zeng Anxin was a little confused now, what kind of medicine is Mr. You's gourd selling?

However, the conversation between Shangguan Shen and Mr. You in the next second solved her doubts.

"It seems that this king is late, and Mr. has already received such a high apprentice, haha, then this king will congratulate Mr. first. ”

"Thank you for your praise. Those two nobles are smart and brilliant, and there are many literary Confucians full of poetry and books in the court, and any one of them is several times better than you, and I believe that those two nobles will definitely find the Master. ”

Shangguan Shen had anything else to say, so he immediately changed the topic, talked about the delicacy of this bison meat, and asked Anxin how they caught it, but he didn't expect that there were such big guys on Qingyu Mountain and other gossip.

After chatting about half a pillar of incense, Shangguan Shen got up to say goodbye, and Mr. You kept a sentence, and he said that he had already set up a room in the inn in the town, and he would not rest here to talk to Mr. Rao.

Zeng Anxin and Mr. You sent Shangguan Shen out of the door.

The parrot Xiling Chu flapped his wings, looked at Shangguan Shen for a while, and looked at Zeng Anxin for a while, as if he didn't know where to fly?

However, Shangguan Shen was quite considerate: "I will bring Chuyun tomorrow, as for whether I can coax it to talk to you, then Xiao Wang doesn't know." ”

When the parrot Xiling Chu heard the great joy, he immediately flew to Anxin's shoulder and sat down, and his mouth was full of flattering words: "Thank you Lord Wang!"

Shangguan Shen rode a horse and let out a hearty laugh, and after a while, he disappeared.

As soon as he left, Mr. You took a deep look at Anxin, and Anxin immediately smiled and said, "Sir, if it's okay, I'll go home first." ”

"Why do you still call me sir, just now I said in front of Lord Shen that I had already accepted you and Wang Zhuoyun as apprentices. ”

An An smiled slightly, and his delicate little peach heart face immediately became vivid and bright: "An An can understand Mr.'s thoughts, just now it must have been a last resort, anyway, no matter whether there is a master-apprentice relationship between you and me, Mr. You's care for An An has never decreased, or even more, I am very satisfied." Anxin is very willing to be Mr.'s shield and solve problems for Mr. ”

There was a deep surprise in Mr. You's eyes, he only knew that this girl was smart and delicate, but he didn't expect it to be so transparent, which made him a little embarrassed, and what he said was a little more sincere and helpless.

He walked over and slowly touched Anxin's hair with his big hand, not knowing whether to say Anxin or to himself.

"If you really become my apprentice, it may not be a good thing, on the surface it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but if it really comes to a critical moment, I am afraid it will affect you. That Wang Zhuoyun's aunt is a noble concubine, he has nothing to do, I'm only worried about you, I can't say anything more, do you understand?"

Mr. You's words were vague, in fact, he probably couldn't understand Anxin, but he was in a difficult heart, so he still had to say something.

If it was the real Zeng Anxin, she would naturally not understand, but at this moment, she was not a ten-year-old child, and she had watched all kinds of palace fighting dramas, so she smiled if she didn't understand anything: " Anxin understands what Mr. means, Pang Jun is like a tiger, the affairs of the court, the situation is treacherous, although Mr. does not hold any official position, but after all, he was the emperor, maybe you are still high today, it may be a careless day, you will become a prisoner, Mr. is not really with me as a master and apprentice, but also for my sake, because I have no family background, no backer, no background, if it really comes to that time, no one can help me. ”
