34. Chapter 34
Jiao Wanwan's so-called Zhao Defang has never eaten a dish, that is, the Buddha jumped over the wall, this is how hard she remembered, the diet of the Great Song Dynasty is too rich, almost everything, she just cared about changing the pattern of eating some time ago, and the daily meals are not repeated with yesterday's, and she is only sure that the Buddha jumped over the wall is not yet available in the Song Dynasty.
It just so happened that the weather was a little cold, and some aquatic products were still fresh when they were sent to Bianliang City. In her previous life, because she was curious, because she couldn't afford to go to the hotel to eat, she could only buy various substitutes in the supermarket and cook them herself. Not to mention whether the cooking is delicious or not, in short, I still remember the steps very clearly.
The two chefs in the kitchen are both experienced, and after listening to Jiao Wanwan's description once, the two of them basically understood the trick. So, it took a night to get this thing out.
At noon the next day, he directly held the jar and sent it to Zhao Defang. As soon as the mouth of the altar was opened, there was immediately a puff of white smoke steaming, followed by the fragrance, the strong fragrance, and the freshness of seafood, the beauty of river freshness, the clarity of bamboo shoots, and the beauty of shiitake mushrooms.
Even the two chefs themselves didn't expect that the things they made out had such a big fragrance, so they stood at the table in a daze, and the two of them took a sip at the same time, and then heard two cooes.
The two of them thought it was sent by themselves, and their faces instantly turned red, they were all imperial chef-level people, and they could still drool over this dish, which was really unproductive, but this taste was really amazing, it was even more fragrant than all the dishes they had made in the previous decades.
When I was staring at the jar and thinking about whether to prepare another altar later, I heard Zhao Defang smile and said: "This jar is big enough, Wan Niang and I, I can't use much, it's better for the two masters to scoop out a bowl first, and taste the taste, see what are the shortcomings, and continue to improve next time, isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival?" If this taste is good enough, when the time comes, the king wants to bring it into the two jars of the palace, so that his father and mother can taste this delicacy. ”
Speaking of sending it to the palace, the two chefs instantly came to their senses, and they were not polite to Zhao Defang. Seeing that the maid next to him sent the dishes and chopsticks, he hurriedly took matters into his own hands, first gave Zhao Defang and Jiao Wanwan a part of each, and the rest was divided between the two of them.
Zhao Defang tasted it, and couldn't help but turn his head to Jiao Wanwan and smiled: "You said before that this Buddha jumped over the wall, because this fragrance made the Buddha jump over the wall to eat when he smelled it, I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect that it was so delicious, if I could let me eat this every day, I wouldn't change it for a fairy." ”
Jiao Wanwan snorted and laughed: "Although this thing is delicious, you can't eat too much, it's mostly nourishing things, and too much is not good for your body." ”
Zhao Defang nodded: "It's too much, no matter how good things are, they have to have a degree, more or less, it's not good." Just, how did you come up with this way of cooking? I've never heard of it. ”
"I heard that there was a stew in the Northeast, so I thought, stew the seafood together, and I don't know what it will taste like." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, Zhao Defang nodded, she didn't debunk her, if it was really an imitation of stew, it would definitely be stewed indiscriminately. But when she went to the kitchen yesterday to give orders, she looked well organized, and she was clearly confident, and sure enough, she could make such a delicacy at one time, how could it be at will?
Of course, it is really possible to rise at random, but if you don't have a great talent, how can you clearly explain how to cook all kinds of seafood and river fresh? Wan Niang, this girl, is not a talented person in cooking, it is true that she can eat and cook, it is fake.
Within a few days, the hunting was on the agenda. Jiao Wanwan was the first time to participate in this ancient hunting activity, and she was excited to start preparing two days in advance, from tent bedding to teacups and chopsticks, and she couldn't wait to pack the entire mansion away.
The things that came out of the comfort were piled up in a whole room, and this was only the husband and wife, and the Jin Mei who was waiting around them hadn't even packed up a single piece of clothing.
Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing: "It's not moving, you get so many things, and you have to bring them back again, isn't it in vain?" This tent or something, there is something that Taifu Temple will prepare, you just have to bring clothes or something. ”
Jiao Wanwan heard of this kind of storage for the first time, and couldn't help but blink and wonder: "Taifu Temple? "It's not the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Do you think that this kind of institution has always been called the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or is it only the dishes of the Qing Dynasty called the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
"Well, take care of all kinds of things for the clan." Zhao Defang said simply, and sighed again: "I was negligent, I didn't expect that you had never done such a thing before, and you didn't know the bottom of your heart, so let's go back and ask my mother to send someone to help you?" ”
Jiao Wanwan's mind turned sharply, as if in all house fighting novels, almost all the people sent by her mother-in-law had bad intentions. Either I'm here to be a maid in the house, or I'm here to supervise and manage, and I really don't want it.
But in fact, although I can fool the past in the housekeeper, I still lack some things in many major things. If there is someone to help, it is really ...... Hey, why did you forget that you still have a nurturing aunt? Although he went back after teaching himself the rules and etiquette, he could still be hired back, and he came out of the palace, presumably all kinds of taboos, rules, and so on, and they were all very clear.
"Don't bother your mother, your mother is busy during this time, the second uncle's family has just come back, just the canonization of a few sisters, my mother will be a little busy, if you want to come over alone, there will be less help on my mother's side."
Jiao Wanwan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Also, isn't the eldest sister going back to Beijing?" There is also the second sister, who has just become pregnant, and the third sister, who is going to choose a concubine, and the eldest son of the second uncle's family, is it also the age of marriage? Oops, just talking about it, I feel like my head is going to get bigger, and when I change to my mother's place, I can't finish all this bunch of things. ”
Zhao Defang also sighed: "I haven't been as thoughtful as you, what you said is that my mother is too busy, and it is not good to bother her for such a trivial matter, but you can do these alone?" ”
"Yes, you can believe me, it's really not good, I can still ask someone to help." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, and pushed Zhao Defang out of the door: "Okay, you can go by yourself first, aren't you going to go for a few days?" The guards in the palace or something, you have to arrange it, go quickly. ”
After sending Zhao Defang away, Jiao Wanwan immediately asked people to invite her former upbringing aunt over, but fortunately, the aunt settled in the capital, and in less than two hours, she was taken to the palace.
I heard that Jiao Wanwan still wanted to hire her, but her aunt was not polite, anyway, she was old, and she was a little powerless to teach rules and other things, so it was better to follow Jiao Wanwan attentively, and mention it from time to time, and it was easy to get money. Jiao Wanwan is not a difficult person to serve, and her temperament is good, so she can be regarded as taking advantage of this matter.
So, after Li Niangzi's suggestion, Jiao Wanwan's salute pile began to shrink slowly, and there is no need to bring big things such as bedding, but if you don't worry about the preparation of Taifu Temple, you can bring your own sheets and quilt covers. You don't need to bring so many tea sets, just bring a set of your favorites. It's more about clothes and jewelry, going for a few days, changing a few times a day, and how much to prepare for each of the riding clothes and skirts.
To be precise, those trivial things shouldn't be Jiao Wanwan's concern, what's the use of asking for a big girl? As the master, she thinks more about other things, such as what gifts to bring to a few little ladies, what topics to open, what activities to prepare, and so on.
On the fifth day of August, I finally set off.
Jiao Wanwan sat in the carriage, followed Zhao Defang to the palace first, and waited outside for only a cup of tea, and Zhao Guangyi's family came over. Similarly, the man went into the palace to see Zhao Kuangyin, and the female dependents waited at the palace gate.
This time it was nearly a stick of incense, and Zhao Kuangyin led his brothers and sons out together. Queen Song didn't go, and it was Mrs. Hua Rui who followed Zhao Kuangyin. Jiao Wanwan has heard of this name in modern times, in addition to the four beauties, this one is famous, not only good-looking, but also a talented woman. From the Houshu Palace to the Great Song Palace, it can still be graced, which shows that there are means.
It was about that Jiao Wanwan's gaze was too straightforward and obvious, and the lady of the flower stamen tilted her head slightly, glanced at Jiao Wanwan, and smiled slightly. Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but gasp, leaned back, it was so beautiful, and she smiled. If he was a man, he wouldn't have to give up the country, just to make her laugh.
Zhao Kuangyin is really a good fortune, and the beautiful but dignified Queen Song is not satisfied, and there is even Mrs. Hua Rui, who is captivating the city and the country. In addition, there is a little Mrs. Song in the palace, and there is nothing to say about her appearance.
Being the emperor really has a lot of benefits, and fortunately, Zhao Defang didn't follow Zhao Kuangyin in terms of women, otherwise, I am afraid that I will have the heart to stab him to death, not to mention that I have to go to great lengths to save his life, which is something that I can't even think about.
In his thoughts, the carriage began to move. Zhao Defang said a few words beside Zhao Kuangyin, then dragged the reins of the horse, slowly came to the side of the carriage, and looked down at Jiao Wanwan in the window: "There is a food stall on the road, if you are hungry, I will ask someone to buy you something to eat?" ”
