28. Chapter 28
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the three small bowls in front of him very rarely, there were different seasonings in them, one was slightly cyan, smelling the smell, it should be wasabi. The other is earthy yellow, this one doesn't smell the smell, you can tell it to be sesame paste at a direct glance, and the other is red, which looks like fermented bean curd, and there is about garlic juice in it, which is quite gluttonous.
"This red bean curd is the best with fish and shrimp." Jiao Wanwan knelt on the other side and explained to Zhao Kuangyin with a smile: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know if my father can eat spicy food, in addition to this mustard, there is also this sesame paste, which is also very mellow, and my father can taste it later." ”
There were no chili peppers in the Song Dynasty, but fortunately there were many substitutes, wasabi, that is, mustard, which tasted very good, and there were also peppercorns or something, which were spicy and spicy, but also delicious.
While speaking, she took the plate and poured some meatballs into the boiling pot, she herself likes the meatballs the most, and specially asked the people in the kitchen to prepare some fish balls and shrimp balls yesterday, as for the beef balls, beef is unavoidable in the Tang and Song dynasties, only other people's cattle died, reported to the government, the government issued a notice, and if you are lucky, you can grab some. Some people have never tasted beef in their entire lives.
However, Jiao Wanwan thinks that since this mutton can dominate the Great Song Dynasty, maybe one day, beef will also be on the table? You can't kill more cattle, so there are always beef cattle and the like, right?
"This is, fish?" When Jiao Wanwan fished out the meatballs, and put two or three in everyone's bowls, Zhao Defang raised her eyebrows a little rarely, and asked, "This taste is better than the fish I ate in the past." The taste is not the same as ordinary fish balls. ”
Jiao Wanwan was a little depressed, listening to this tone, the fish balls had already existed? How can you make a toy by yourself for a long time, and get a food for a long time?
"The prince is saying that this fish ball has other different flavors?" Depressed for a while, the wisdom of the ancients, Jiao Wanwan didn't dare to underestimate it anymore, and asked curiously again in an instant.
Zhao Defang said with a smile: "It's just a legend, it is said that Qin Shi Huang likes to eat fish, and he doesn't like to pick assassinations, so the chef thought about it, so he took out the fish meat and made it into fish balls, which were boiled in the broth, also called fish balls." ”
Zhao Kuangyin followed with a smile: "However, your way of eating hot pot makes this fish ball taste more delicious, this hot pot, but you remembered it yourself?" ”
Jiao Wanwan didn't want to put this matter directly on her head, and hurriedly said: "I just remembered it suddenly, I remember reading a book when I was a child, saying that there was a tourist who was hungry in the mountains for a few days, and finally I couldn't help it, so I found a lot of mushrooms and the like, boiled it into soup, and was in a hurry to eat, so I took the meat slice and threw it into the soup pot, and immediately fished it out when it was cooked. ”
Thanks to the various novels she read in her last life, otherwise, she really can't remember this paragraph, and as for the person who really studied this way of eating, I'm sorry, and I don't know if I was born.
"Dial the glow? It's a chic and interesting name. Zhao Defang said with a smile, and nodded Jiao Wanwan: "It's better than your hot pot." ”
Jiao Wan smiled wryly: "I just saw that this thing is a pot boiling on the fire, so I called these two words, although it is not so delicate and good-sounding, but it is also easy to understand, in this world, there are still more laypeople." ”
Zhao Kuangyin laughed; "That's right, in this world, it is indeed the majority of the laity." After a pause, he said: "This way of eating is also fresh, if you take it to open a restaurant, maybe you can make a lot of money, and I don't have to worry about you little couple running out of money." ”
Jiao Wanwan was a little moved, and turned her head to look at Zhao Defang, but Zhao Defang shook her head: "My son and Wanniang don't know when they will leave Beijing, this shop is open, it's too far away, and there is no way to come back to take care of it from time to time. ”
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied, Jiao Wanwan was not easy to ask casually, so she simply lowered her head, and seriously fished out the cooked vegetables and meat in the pot, and fed the two men first.
After eating, Zhao Kuangyin said that he was going to go around the garden, and Zhao Defang naturally followed him to serve. As for Jiao Wanwan, she didn't have anything to do, so she simply went back to the room to do needlework, and she didn't dare to take a nap, for fear that the two of them would have something to tell later.
Zhao Kuangyin walked around the house for another hour before leaving. When Zhao Defang returned to the room, his face was also a little tired, and Jiao Wanwan hadn't asked many questions yet, but when she saw his face, she couldn't care about asking, and hurriedly greeted him: "Are you very tired?" Sleep first? ”
Zhao Defang nodded, opened his arms and waited for Jiao Wanwan to change his clothes, and then fell asleep on the bed.
Jiao Wanwan herself was quite energetic, so she sat on the side and read a book. After reading a few pages, I remembered that I had promised Zhao Defang a purse before, so I went to find a needle and thread again, and made a simple one, sewn up two pieces of cloth, and then make a strap on it. As for the embroidery or something, I'm sorry, I didn't light it up, but I can only make more of a fool of myself, and maybe I have to show my flaws.
It's just that it's just a piece of cloth, isn't it too thin? Why don't you get a lining inside? Let's make four pieces of cloth.
She lit up the skill of sewing clothes, and the needle was very fast, and in less than a stick of incense, she sewed two pieces of cloth together, and on the other hand, the thread or something was hidden in it and could not be seen. Jiao Wanwan took it for a while, and she was quite proud, at least it wasn't twisted, it was flat and neat.
The inner layer doesn't have to be reversed, and then the tape is sandwiched in the middle after it is installed, and then, Jiao Wanwan is embarrassed, just sew the inner layer and the outer layer together, how can I not expose the thread or something?
"Done?" was thinking hard, suddenly heard someone next to him asking, and as soon as she turned her head, she happened to meet Zhao Defang's sight, Jiao Wanwan quickly stuffed her purse into her waist and came over to hand Zhao Defang clothes: "It's only been half an hour, right?" You don't sleep anymore? ”
"No, if you sleep too much, you won't be able to sleep well at night." Zhao Defang said with a smile, got up with his clothes, reached out and tugged Jiao Wanwan's waist, took out the purse, looked through it, and couldn't help laughing: "This is the purse you plan to make for me?" ”
The stone blue cloth doesn't look like a girl wants to bring, it must be a man, a man's purse that can be made by Jiao Wanwan herself, except for General Jiao and the two Langjun of the Jiao family, as well as him Zhao Defang, there is no one else. The men of the Jiao family are not in the capital.
"No, I'll practice water by myself first, this is so ugly, it's a bit embarrassing for you to bring it." Jiao Wanwan hurriedly denied it, and went back to the needlework room to find an embroidery lady to ask for advice, and first explained the matter of the seam.
"It's okay, I don't dislike it." Zhao Defang said with a smile, Jiao Wanwan hurriedly grabbed it: "I dislike it." By the way, Daddy, how are you eating? ”
"Fortunately, the way to eat it is novel, the taste is okay, and Daddy praised you." Zhao Defang let her snatch her purse, and while going outside to wash her face, she said: "Go back to the palace and tell your mother about this method." ”
Jiao Wanwan followed behind and handed him a cloth towel: "Well, I know, do I need to go to the second sister's house to talk about the opening of the shop that my father said before?" ”
"No, the second sister will come to you when I get back." Zhao Defang said, paused, turned his head to look at Jiao Wanwan, and looked a little guilty: "I said today that I will open a shop with my second sister, so that we will give this silver to others......
After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, in order to appease the people, even the curfew was canceled, and he often took the lead in some juju competitions, sumo wrestling competitions and the like, just to create a peaceful and prosperous world, so that the people could sing and dance in peace and happiness.
This food, clothing, housing and transportation are indispensable everywhere, and the people live well, and they are willing to spend money on food. All the food stalls in the capital that are a little famous are full every day, and you may not be able to buy them in line.
Jiao Wanwan's hot pot is very rare, it has not yet appeared, if he opens a restaurant, he is not afraid of not making money, but on the contrary, he gave half of it out today.
"Since Lang Jun said that, there must be Lang Jun's meaning, although I didn't understand it at the time, I also knew that I would ask Lang Jun later, now, can Lang Jun explain it to me?" Jiao Wanwan didn't care at all, as long as the silver was enough, she earned so much, she didn't bring it with her life or death, just like in her previous life, she didn't dare to eat or use it to save money, but once she crossed over, she didn't know which money would be cheaper.
"The second brother-in-law is a little high." Zhao Defang pondered for a while, and pulled Jiao Wanwan to sit down on the side: "Although he is outstanding in literature, because the horse can't take on heavy responsibilities, the official position is not high, and the money is just average. ”
In a word, I can't make a lot of money and like to spend money, and the second princess's dowry is not good to subsidize all the time, and the second princess herself has already gone to the palace to cry. Zhao Kuangyin is a good father, he treats several children equally, and he feels sorry for his daughter, so he thinks of having a good idea to make money. It just so happened that Zhao Defang had a good way here and caught up.
Jiao Wanwan was a little speechless, Zhao Kuangyin did this, it was obvious that he would take away the things that belonged to Zhao Defang to his daughter, so he was not afraid that Zhao Defang would have a pimple in his heart? But looking at Zhao Defang's expression, Jiao Wanwan was speechless again, forget it, this father seems to know his son very well. Zhao Defang seems to really don't take these things seriously.
As for his daughter-in-law, hehe, an outsider.
