There is a restaurant not far from the imperial city, the crooked Liao text can not be understood, enter the door and see the plaque with Chinese characters, on the book: a product of residence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe middle-aged man said to the little guy, Yao Xitong didn't understand half of the sentence, and he didn't know what the middle-aged man ordered until he was served.

It's a coincidence that Xiao Bao'er promised him that the water and land Bazhen was ordered on the table by a stranger.

The eight treasures of land and water in Northern Liao are completely different from those of the Central Plains, and a dazzling array of dishes is placed on a table, and even a well-informed person like Yao Xitong only recognizes a few things. Fortunately, the little guy in Yipinju was more talkative, not only took the initiative to report the name of the dish, but also said the contents of the dish.

Yao Xitong learned while eating, and four of the eight treasures of Northern Liao can be drunk, namely: musk musk, purple jade pulp, Xuanyu pulp and camel milk. Musk is mare's milk wine, purple jade syrup is wine, Xuanyu syrup is cow's milk, and camel chyle is camel milk porridge. The remaining four are for eating, Daigo, wild camel hooves, deer lips, and swan burning.

Among them, Daigo is a unique court snack in Northern Liao, and non-rich families can't afford to eat it at all.

What is Daigo? There is a scripture that says: For example, milk comes milk from cows, cheese comes from milk, cheese comes from cheese, from raw Jesus comes ripe, and from ripe Jesus comes Daigo. Daigo is the best. To put it bluntly, Daigo is the oil extracted from crisp cheese, which was originally called cheese or cottage cheese.

A table of delicious, Yao Xitong tasted it lightly. As the saying goes: Nothing to be courteous is either a traitor or a thief. He feared that this encounter was not a coincidence, but the beginning of a series of events.

With a glass of elixir in his stomach, he secretly glanced at the middle-aged man, who only cared about drinking and didn't want to talk to him at all. Could it really be that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

Another cup of elixir was in their stomachs, and the two still had nothing to say. The mouth of the cannibal is short, so he should say something to thank the middle-aged man for his kind invitation. With this in mind, he took the initiative to ask about the middle-aged man and asked him why he lost his daughter.

The middle-aged man finally put down the wine jug that had not left his hand, thought for a long, long time, and said: "My daughter is too smart, my daughter is too stupid, so I lost her." ”

What is the answer? Can you put a smart and a stupid person on the same person? He had to ask, "You're not drunk, are you?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand and picked up the wine jug again, "Eat slowly, during the Adult Day, only Yipinju is open in the entire imperial city, and your friends will find you." ”

When Xiao Baoer broke into the seat, Yao Xitong almost lost his heartbeat. Just thinking that she would go back to the palace to get some gold and honeysuckle, the bag that she didn't want to bring out was bulging like a small mountain bag.

He hurriedly explained to the middle-aged man, "Xiaoxiao, my maid, let her go to the inn to get something." ”

Seeing that Xiao Baoer's face was not good, she looked a little helpless. He winked at him and comforted, "Don't worry, this is a friend I met when I visited the palace, and he dragged me to drink and eat." ”

The middle-aged man said cooperatively, "I'll make this meal, say goodbye today, I won't see each other in the future, you eat more!"

I don't know which of the two made Xiao Bao'er breathe a sigh of relief, only to see that she eliminated a plate of Daigo in the blink of an eye.

The middle-aged man beckoned the little guy to send another one, and the dish was on the table, but Yao Xitong was covered by Yao Xitong and did not give it to Xiao Bao'er.

"Dead turtle, get up, this dish is mine. ”

"Xiaoxiao, this is a hair thing, it hasn't been long since you got better, you can't eat more. Besides, this thing is so tired, don't you feel it?"

Xiao Bao'er stared at the plate and refused to look away, Yao Xitong could only lie to a child and said gently, "Good, don't eat, I'll make fake milk for you to eat when I go back." ”

"What's fake cow's milk?"

Yao Xitong said: "Mix egg white with honey wine, stir it in, and steam it in a pot." Take tenderness as the month. If the heat is late, it will be old, and if there are too many egg whites, it will be old. ”

Xiao Baoer hated Yao Xitong the most when she dropped her bookbag, and said directly: "I can understand it, but I can't understand it." ”

Yao Xitong had to explain carefully: "Daigo is too expensive, ordinary people can't afford to eat it, and I figured out a snack called fake milk." Although it is said to be fake, it is indeed fake to be true, and it has both the form of Daigo, and it tastes unique. The method is to put eight egg whites in a bowl and beat them evenly without whisking, add a little wine and sugar, stir and mix constantly, so that several of them are integrated into one, and put them into a small bowl to steam. ”

"Is it delicious? Can you eat the dessert you made?"

Yao Xitong was very reluctant to be questioned about his cooking level, he said: "Whether it tastes good or not, I'll know when I go back." ”

Xiao Bao'er glanced at Daigo again, and said reluctantly, "Okay!" As soon as the words fell, Yao Xitong ate by himself. Seeing that he was eating with a fragrant mouth, Xiao Bao'er shouted, "Didn't you say greasy?

"yes, I'm not hurt, the hair is useless to me, and I'm not tired of it. ”

"Dead turtle, you actually tricked me to eat alone. ”

"Xiaoxiao, you can't say that, my concern for you is clear from day to day, and it is really for your good. ”

The two of them, as in the past, regarded others as nothing, and quarreled happily.

The middle-aged man sighed and was about to leave with the wine jug, when the two who were arguing suddenly stopped and said in unison, "Remember to check out!"

After eating and drinking, they swaggered out of Yipinju. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the little maid, and handed a food box to Xiao Baoer, and after opening it, it was all Daigo.

"Yo, this person really has a heart, you won't know each other, right?"

Xiao Bao'er took the food box and said loudly, "This is mine, if you dare to steal it, be careful that I castrate you!"

Yao Xitong felt a chill in his lower body, and somewhat admired Xiao Bao'er's imagination in threatening language, "Xiaoxiao, you are a girl, can you be more reserved when you speak." ”

Xiao Bao'er silently carried the food box forward, two lines of tears hanging on her cheeks, and she didn't hear what Yao Xitong said in the back at all.

"Xiaoxiao," Yao Xitong caught up with her and asked curiously, "Why are you walking so fast?"

When Xiao Baoer turned around, her eyes were clear, her face was clean, and there was no trace of crying.

"The water and land treasures of Northern Liao are not enjoyable, I plan to make mutton buns for you to eat. ”

Yao Xitong likes to eat steamed buns, or he wouldn't name the organization he runs single-handedly as a steamed bun shop. Hearing that Xiao Bao'er could make steamed buns, a pair of phoenix eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and said happily, "Okay, okay, I haven't eaten Beiliao-style steamed buns yet." ”

Xiao Baoer felt that Yao Xitong was very coaxing, and asked her two questions in a row, but she didn't answer them positively, and diverted from other topics. This person didn't even notice it, his mind was on the bun, what a stupid guy!

said that she was going to make mutton buns, Xiao Baoer took Yao Xitong to the outside of the city for a long time, so far that she could see the bright yurt rooms at the foot of the mountain.

Yao Xitong asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you going to take me to the herdsman's house to buy sheep?"

"It's not. ”

"Are you going to steal sheep?"

Xiao Bao'er didn't answer, not far from the foot of the mountain, in an open field where the ice and snow had not yet melted, looking for something.

"Xiaoxiao, we don't have a candle, you can find what you want with just the moonlight?"

Xiao Bao'er still refused to answer, and after digging seven or eight pits in a row, she finally dug up a piece of mutton hidden by the herdsmen under the ice and snow. She held the mutton high and said proudly, "Hard work pays off, as long as you have a heart that wants to eat, there will always be food." ”

Looking at her happy appearance, Yao Xitong consciously raised an extra wolf, and the only one who could find food in this icy and snowy environment was the wolf.

Back at the herdsman's house, Xiao Baoer cooked mutton on a fire, cooked a pot full of meat until the flesh and bones were separated, took out the meat, and continued to cook the skin and bones.

Cut the cooked meat into cubes, mix in the seasoning, and grab the water into the meat filling, the amount of water is about half of the meat filling. In this process, the most important point is not to pour all the water into it at once, add a small amount of water for the first time, and slowly stir the meat filling in one direction, don't make a mistake. When the minced meat is ready, put it outside and freeze.

The next step is to mix the noodles, I want the bun skin to be thin and transparent, and it will not break, and the noodles are important. Take two pieces of dough cake, one dough is made with cold water with a little salt, and the other is mixed with hot salt water. Knead the two pieces of dough together and add a teaspoon of sugar. Salt can make the dough tougher, and sugar can make the skin of the buns whiter.

By the time dawn was approaching, she had already made the dough and covered it with a damp cloth until dawn. The pot of soup that has been boiling for a long time is turned off and placed outside, and it will not take long for the spring weather to turn the soup into meat jelly.

Yao Xitong smelled the smell of meat when he was still asleep, and then he was woken up by Yin Yao with three legs, and a person and a wolf salivated and waited for the buns to come out of the drawer. A quarter of an hour later, he pointed to the crystal clear buns on the porcelain plate and asked, "Mutton buns, how do I feel like a soup dumpling unique to the Song Dynasty?"

"Mutton soup dumplings, I think about making them myself, can't I?"

"The dough looks good, but I don't know how the meat filling is, what seasoning do you put in, will the mutton be fat?"

Xiao Baoer especially hates a kind of person who doesn't cook, but is extremely picky when eating. It's like Yao Xitong, who asks so many questions before he eats, do you still want to eat it?

Yao Xitong is very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Xiao Bao'er frowning slightly, he hurriedly lifted a soup bag and put it in the spoon, and gently took a sip of the soup with his mouth. Hey, the taste is not bad, it makes no sense that a princess of Northern Liao can make such an authentic soup dumpling!

With a very picky heart, he gently bit the skin of the bun, and waited for the smell of mutton to hit his head. The result was no, and the smell of the bun filling was almost imperceptible.

"Stewed mutton and white radish can be removed. Make the filling and put peppercorns to remove the fat. I saw you cook the meat without putting anything in it yesterday, and then cut it into cubes to make the filling, why doesn't it smell?"

Xiao Bao'er threw a bone to Yin Yao, and said proudly, "Secret." ”

Yao Xitong asked again: "Most of the sheep, why are there only so many buns?"

Xiao Baoer really admired Yao Xitong, the buns couldn't stop his mouth, and the questions were one after another, and he actually calculated how many buns the mutton he found yesterday was enough to make. Is this a question that a normal person would consider?

"Hurry up and eat, after eating on the road, the extra buns are honored by God!"

"Northern Liao also has the custom of sacrificing stoves?

A series of questions slipped out of Yao Xitong's mouth, and Xiao Baoer really felt like she would be annoyed by him.

On the way back, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and it seems that spring will stay in Zhongling, and it will be a few days before rushing to Northern Liao.

Xiao Baoer took off her thick fur and changed into a blue cotton jacket.

Yao Xitong also has a piece of clothing of this color, which is sewn with the same piece of material. I thought that Xiao Bao'er wouldn't wear it, but seeing that she wore it, it made Yao Xitong feel an indescribable feeling in his heart. It's a strange feeling, something I've never felt before.

"Turtle, do you smell anything?"

Yao Xitong said without raising his eyelids, "There is a new steamed bun shop on the corner of the street, which is estimated to be the fragrance of steamed steamed buns." ”

"I'm going to take a look," Xiao Bao'er urged him to ride forward, and he lied, "I'm going back to the yamen first, and you can see for yourself, and I'll see you in the house later." "I knew for a long time that the bun shop would attract Xiao Bao'er, so I deliberately took it away, so I went back to the house to peek at what Xiao Bao'er took from the Northern Liao Palace.

After leaving for a few days, Yao's Mansion was quietly decorated by the spring. A few green shoots faintly sprouted from the dead vines in the patio, and the weeds in the backyard turned from yellow to green, and the whole mansion was full of life in the winter loneliness.

Yao Xitong handed Yin Yao over to He Bo, and in order to prevent him from escaping, the chain of the monkey was tied to Yin Yao.

How can a wild guy tolerate being bolted, He Bo was almost bitten by Yin Yao, and said fearfully, "Childe, this wolf is smart, he looks obedient, and the old slave was almost bitten if he didn't pay attention!"

"Yin Yao is not only smart, the little guy still wants to become a spirit and become a human!"

Yao Xitong boasted like a child, and only after smiling did he go to freshen up and change clothes. It's easy to get everything done, and without waiting to peek at Xiao Bao'er's luggage, this person is actually back! This is really incredible, didn't the buns in the bun shop keep her?

The steamed bun shop was opened by Yao Xitong, so he found a master who can make desserts and put it by his side to meet Xiao Baoer's demand for desserts at any time.

Two, the imperial chef in the palace, was almost killed by a rod for stealing the fruits paid by Fanbang. In order to heal his back injury, he sold himself to a steamed bun shop and became Yao Xitong's personal dim sum chef.

This person likes sweets and never makes salty buns, if he wants to be sweet, he wants to be sweet and salty. The newly opened bun shop sells only two flavors of steamed buns, barbecued pork buns and sugar leg buns.

As far as Yao Xitong knows, Erer is a particular person, not only with high standards and strict requirements for his own craftsmanship, but also for diners. For example, the buns he makes can only be eaten in the store, not taken away.

According to him, the honey in the barbecued pork bun and the white sugar in the sugar leg bun are the most delicious from the moment they are steamed in the upper drawer and taken out. Once packed home, warming or reheating will ruin the taste of the buns.

Yao Xitong looked at Xiao Bao'er in surprise, because she was carrying two drawers of buns in her hands, which was completely contrary to the rules of Er'er. It's strange, Er'er is not a good-natured person, how could he let Xiao Bao'er take away the cage drawer with the buns?

Thinking of this possibility, he said, "Why did you bring me steamed buns when you came back so soon?" The mutton buns I ate the day before yesterday are eating steamed buns again today?"

Xiao Bao'er put the cage drawer on the stone table and said with an innocent face, "The bun doesn't need money!"
