The raven truthfully replied to what he had seen in the dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

First, Yang Shusheng's parents disliked Yuning very much. The businessman is profitable, and the Yuning family has no land and no land, so they all rely on the people in the village to help. Yuning has no skills, she is delicate and expensive, and she can't do farm work. I know a lot of poetry, but I don't know how to read accounts. Marrying her into the door, it was as cheap as it was, and Yang Shusheng's parents were naturally unwilling.

Second, Yang Shusheng had a room girl before Yuning. This girl is not as good as Yuning, she is better than gentleness, she has been in charge of the work at home, and she is obedient to Yang's mother, which is very liked by Yang's mother.

Yu Ning didn't know these things earlier, but after she knew, she kept pleading Yang Shusheng to drive the girl away. Not long after the two got married, Yang Shusheng was also more concerned about Yuning, and he told Yang's mother about it, and Yang's mother sent the girl to the shop opened by the Yang family in the field without saying a word.

Without a capable roommate, Yuning, who is a first-time wife, does not know how to run a house at all, and does not understand Yang Shusheng's daily life and diet. In just a few days, the entire Yang family was turned upside down by her, and Yang Shusheng had a headache between her and her mother, so he just took the servants to live in the academy.

After hearing this, Xiao Baoer felt that it was not a big problem, Yang Shusheng was interested in Yuning, and it was normal for small households in Yuning to not be accustomed to the life of large families. The key to the problem is that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along, this is easy to solve, as long as it is not an emotional problem, it is not possible to talk about who wins or loses for the time being.

She asked, "You only said one, two, and three?"

The crow said: "Scholar Yang is still in the academy and has not returned, Yuning stays in the Yang Mansion all day, what else does the princess want to know?"

It's only been a month since they got married, and the two have separated, which is not a good sign, where should she start to help them?

Suddenly, she asked for no reason, "I heard that you captured Eleven's younger brother and threatened her to pretend to be a princess." ”

The crow smiled and said, "I just did what the son ordered." ”

Xiao Bao'er also smiled, "Childe said that this is your own behavior, and he still hopes that you will assassinate Gao Wenyu." ”

"Thanks to the love of the child, the crow is flattered!"

Xiao Bao'er said again: "Do you think Gao Wenyu deserves to die?"

The crow pointed to the sky, as if to say that it depended on the will of God.

Steamed pork with fermented bean curd, tofu pot with winter bamboo shoots, air-dried radish strips.

Xiao Bao'er kept looking out of the door, hoping that Uncle He could bring another dish into the door.

Yao Xitong saw that her appearance was really pitiful, and said, "Don't look at it, there will be three dishes at noon." ”

Xiao Baoer resigned herself to picking up the bowl and drinking the soup. Fresh winter bamboo shoots and tofu are boiled in boiling water, one to remove astringency, the other to remove the fishy smell, the soup base uses bacon and dried shrimp, which tastes salty and delicious, and has a little bit of winter bamboo shoots.

The soup is good, Xiao Baoer put a slice of steamed pork with noodles, and frowned as soon as she put it to her mouth. "What does this food smell like? ”

"Sufu bean curd. ”

As soon as she heard that there was bean curd, Xiao Baoer consciously put down her chopsticks. In the palace, to be exact, in the back ~ palace, no palace concubine eats these foods that contain peculiar smells, let alone stinky smells. The food of fermented bean curd, or the dishes cooked with this food, could not have appeared on Xiao Bao'er's table at all.

The steamed pork with fermented bean curd powder can't be eaten, she cast her eyes on the dried radish and sighed secretly. The use of radish in the palace is to carve, and occasionally used to make dishes, but only a little bit is put in it, and the radish is ventilated, and the palace concubine is more afraid of this kind of food.

You can't eat this, you can't eat that, what should I do?

Xiao Bao'er's lunch is two bowls of soup. It was easy to stay up until dinner, and she wanted to cry when she looked at the food on the table. Dried vegetable noodle soup, multigrain pancakes, plus a few slices of bacon used in the morning soup.

She picked up the pancake and took a bite of it, but it was so dry and hard that she couldn't swallow it. I had no choice but to drink the noodle soup, and the sour and spicy taste made her cough for a long time.

"Turtle, you're too picky!"

"He is old and often misplaces salt and chili peppers. The crow has lived in the palace for a long time and does not know how to cook. I know a thing or two about cooking, but my job is important, so I can't squat in the kitchen every day to cook and serve you, right?"

"We can get a cook. ”

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that the county order is only enough for rent and daily expenses, and the cook really can't afford it!"

"You're taking revenge on me for what happened last night, I've never seen anyone so cautious as you. ”

Yao Xitong touched the place where he was bitten yesterday, with a look of underbeating, to the effect that I will take revenge, what can you do!

Xiao Bao'er ran out of words, and looked sideways at the crow, who hadn't eaten anything and had been drinking. Perceiving Xiao Bao'er's gaze, he said: "Princess, the slave has just honored you, in a small place like Zhongling, as long as you don't buy an industry, one hundred taels is enough for you to hire a chef......"

One hundred taels of silver, it's okay not to mention it, but mentioning it is Xiao Baoer's history of shame.

Seeing that she did not speak, the crow asked, "Do you need me to go to the market tomorrow to find a cook......?"

Xiao Bao'er didn't want to say anything about the silver being cheated away by Yao Xitong, she silently put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said softly, "I'm full, I'll think about the chef tomorrow, I'm tired!"

The cold wind was blowing hard, and Xiao Baoer couldn't sleep when she lay on the bed and tossed and turned. She misses the days in the palace so much, there are always snacks and tea on the table, and it is impossible for her to go to bed hungry.

In the second half of the night, after estimating that everyone was asleep, she crept out of the kitchen to find food. The fire was not extinguished, and there was a bowl of white rice, a bowl of fermented bean curd noodles that I had seen in the morning, and a bowl of egg custard.

She ate rice with egg custard, always felt that something was missing, and couldn't help but taste a piece of fermented bean curd steamed pork, and her stomach lacking meat dishes was immediately satisfied.

At noon, there was still a strange smell of fermented bean curd steamed pork, and now there is only a fragrance left, and the rice noodles have not dried up after an afternoon, but they are inseparable from each other with the fatty meat. The unique aroma of fermented bean curd has penetrated into the meat, and every time you chew it, you can feel the salty aroma of fermented bean curd from the gravy, and it is so delicious.

There was also a bowl of sugar water next to the steamer, she sniffed it, and boiled it with jujubes, wolfberries and longan.

Seeing that there was no one in the kitchen, she carried it and left, and it was best to drink a bowl of sugar water before going to bed.

The next day, Yao Xitong said loudly that he wanted Uncle He to buy a cat, and the house entered the rat and ate all the supper he had prepared.

Xiao Baoer was snowballing in the backyard in a mink coat, looking like a big mouse from a distance.

Breakfast was sweet potato millet porridge and a plate of dried radish.

Xiao Baoer only drinks porridge, and still stays away from radish.

Yao Xitong didn't wear an official uniform, but replaced the dark gray cotton jacket he was used to wearing with a dark blue brocade coat, and wore a fox fur coat outside. People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, and he is quite pleasing to the eye when he dresses like this.

Xiao Baoer looked at the dried radish, then at him, and then at the dried radish, and after a few times, Yao Xitong put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I want to help that little couple. ”

"Then why are you looking at me again after reading the turnip?"

"The porridge is too light to drink. I haven't eaten fermented bean curd and want to try it!"

"The bean curd is gone, I'll teach you how to make it if you buy good tofu another day." Speaking of fermented bean curd, did you know that fermented bean curd is divided into three categories: green, red, and white?"

Xiao Bao'er shook her head, there are so many things that the poor family eats with food?

Seeing that the topic was about to be pulled away by Yao Xitong, she hurriedly said, "Let's talk about the bean curd another day, can you help a group of Yuning girls?"

"How can I help?"

"You were the one who fulfilled their ...... in the first place," Yao Xitong interrupted her, emphatically, "You forced me, don't forget our bet." ”

Xiao Bao'er waved her hand, "Let's not talk about this first, I hope you will go to Yang Mansion and support Yuning." The Yang family sees that you treat Yuning differently, and they will not dare to abuse her, and when they have children, her status in the Yang family will definitely be more stable than now, and Yang Shusheng will respect her a little more. ”

Yao Xitong asked with a smile: "What if she can't give birth, what should I do? What if I give birth to a girl?"

Xiao Bao'er replied: "If you have no children, you will be divorced! Give birth to a daughter, and maybe have a chance to have a boy." ”

"What if Scholar Yang takes a concubine and gives birth to a son?"

Xiao Bao'er was annoyed by the question, and shouted, "Are you finished? According to your statement, I will lose? Don't you think it is too arbitrary to assert that others will not be happy in their lifetime based on only one month's observation?"

Yao Xitong said confidently: "Some people look old at the age of three. There are some things that you can guess the end by looking at the beginning. If you don't, I'll give you another chance. ”

"In less than two days, Yuning will definitely take Yang Shusheng to the county office to meet me. Relying on the familiarity with you and me, she will come to the door to find you close, and understand the details of my life through you...... Knowing that you don't know how to be a female red, she will also give you some embroidered handkerchiefs, purses or something. ”

"When you let down your guard against her, she will quietly appear in my room and try to seduce ~ lure me, if you can't seduce ~ you, she will accuse me of having ulterior motives for her......"

Xiao Bao'er shook her head and sneered, "How is this possible, Yuning likes Yang Shusheng and once went on a hunger strike in order to marry him." I know you have a good skin, but you don't look down on all women, and Yuning is not so stupid that she will be confused by your skin, saying that she will seduce you~ I don't believe it. ”

"Xiaoxiao, time will tell, let's see!"

Xiao Bao'er pursed her mouth disdainfully and asked a very realistic question, "I know that you are waiting for me to admit defeat, and you are still waiting to train me to be a cook." But what do we eat while the winner or loser is undecided?"

"Forgive you for being so self-aware, I will let Uncle He go to the wine shop to serve some food to comfort you in advance. ”

"The sky is crazy and there is rain, and the people are crazy and woe, so you can do it!"

The news that the new county magistrate was the husband of the princess of Beiliao soon spread all over the streets and alleys of Zhongling County.

Yao Xitong was not bad, less than two days after taking office, Yu Ning really came to him. She came with Yang's mother, not Yang Shusheng, according to Yang's mother, Yang Shusheng is still studying hard in the academy for the spring of the coming year.

The visitors are all female dependents, Yao Xitong avoids it, Xiao Baoer welcomes guests, and her identity is still a princess maid.

Mother Yang is shrewd but not difficult to get along with, with the short-sightedness of a wealthy family in a small place and the awe of the princess's identity. Yuning gave up the right to speak to Yang's mother, and let her knock on the side to ask if Yao Xitong and Yuning's father were old acquaintances?

Xiao Bao'er guessed that this was the news that Yuning deliberately released in order to gain a foothold in the Yang family, and in order to help Yuning, she did not admit or refute it, only said that she was not very clear about the master's personal relationship.

After that day, Yuning really came to Xiao Bao'er alone as Yao Xitong expected. Every time she came and went in a hurry, the cliché did not appear, but she just sent some dim sum specialties and asked Xiao Baoer to pass them on to Yao Xitong, saying that it was her and Yang Shusheng's intentions.

The days were as plain as water, Xiao Baoer thought that Yuning and Yang Shusheng could slowly repair the relationship like this, and Yao Xitong received a post.

At Master Yang's birthday banquet, Yang Shusheng rushed back from the academy and specially sent a post to Yao Xitong.

Before going out, Xiao Baoer warned Yao Xitong: "If I want to gamble and lose, it's okay, you are not allowed to cheat, if someone asks about your relationship with Yuning's father, you can't say it directly, you can only blur the past." ”

Isn't this cheating? What is good for you is not cheating, what is good for me is cheating, is the standard too double?

Yao Xitong was too lazy to worry about Xiao Bao'er, and said, "Okay, everything is up to the princess." ”

Tanhualang, the princess's husband, a person who should have been high and high, ran Zhong Ling as an official, which stimulated Zhong Ling's ownership. Many people who tried to cling to him but had no way out finally found a breakthrough from Master Yang and gathered at his house early in the morning.

Before the carriage drove to Yang's mansion, the crowd had already extended from the door of Mr. Yang's house to the mouth of the alley. Many women in the middle of it are said to be to see Yao Xitong, Xiao Baoer couldn't help but quip, "A copper child, take a look, are we enough to invite a cook?"

Yao Xitong ignored her, and the appearance of sitting in a precarious position loomed.

Xiao Baoer was Yao Xitong's maid, but when she entered the door, she was replaced by a small servant, Yuning only said that men and women were not seated, and arranged her in a small hall outside the banquet. When I arrived, I realized that the small hall was only prepared for her alone, and there were all kinds of melons, fruits and snacks on the table, and there was no mistake in the number of etiquette.

The dishes are still the eight treasures of water and land, compared with the spring breeze building, the eight treasures are used here, bamboo sun, white fungus, shiitake mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, dried scallops, fish bones, fish intestines, mullet eggs, nearly half of them are dry goods. These dishes look delicious and delicious, but Xiao Baoer feels very greasy.

Yao Xitong asked He Bo to go to the restaurant every day to serve dishes, and she had eaten all the well-known restaurants in Zhongling County, and she only needed to taste one bite of these dishes to know which restaurant in Zhongling County and which master's craftsmanship.

In addition to the main course, there is a red and yellow side dish on the table, which looks quite appetizing. She took a little taste with chopsticks, the yellow one was some kind of meat, the red one was the chili pepper, and the slightest bit of it was so spicy that her face was red and her ears were red, and she almost wanted to cry.

The maid who was waiting on the side smiled and told her that this is not how rice pepper fried goo is eaten.

According to the maid, Gugu is a water bird that inhabits the reeds, slightly smaller than a pigeon, and lives by eating fish and shrimp. Rice pepper is also a local specialty, growing in the mountains, the fruit is round, the size of soybeans, the color is red, extremely spicy, the local people call rice pepper.

Stir-fried rice pepper is a dish that does not distinguish between high and low, and the people of Zhongling County will make it. First, pluck the Gugu hair and remove the internal organs, chop the belt bones, add boiling oil and fry until golden brown, add rice pepper and garlic cloves to burst the fragrance after getting out of the pot, and finally pour in the fried Gugu.

In terms of how to eat, fried rice pepper is most suitable for pancakes.

The maid took out a bowl-sized corn pancake from the dustpan on the table, scooped a small half spoon of rice pepper with a spoon and sprinkled it evenly on top of the pancake, and then rolled the cake into a cylinder, signaling her to bite and eat.
