30. Doornail meatloaf

Ning Xi is very calm, the worst result is nothing more than not being able to get any compensation, as a victim, she can't be arrested and imprisoned! Therefore, her attitude is particularly neither arrogant nor humble, if Lord Huang asks her, she can also talk calmly, Jun Shaofeng, who was sitting above, couldn't help but nod and smile when he looked at her, the fifth brother really didn't see the wrong person, this girl is really interesting.

Feeling the gaze of looking at him from above, Ning Xi looked up and saw that it was actually the prince of Qi Wang, and he was smiling proudly, and the fire in his heart didn't come out, okay, I also saw that the excitement was coming, and we still greeted you with delicious food and drink for so many days, what a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised! I really didn't hold back an eye and threw the knife over.

Jun Shaofeng was stared at inexplicably by her, and said in her heart, little girl, this son is here to support you, what do you mean by this look? After a moment of anger, he glared back.

An Mingyue saw that the two of them were actually frowning like this in front of her, and she was even more angry: "Lord Huang, this restaurant is shoddy and deceives customers, I can't see it before I smashed her shop, you must be punished heavily." ”

Ning Xi said: "Miss An, in this court, I want to talk about evidence, the neighbors near the restaurant have seen it with their own eyes, you brought a group of you over, but you didn't even enter the door of our restaurant, so you did it directly, dare to ask Miss An where did she see that this restaurant is shoddy and defrauds customers?" After speaking, he turned around and bowed to Lord Huang and said, "My lord, as for the reputation of this restaurant, you can casually summon diners who have eaten in this restaurant, and you will know as soon as you ask." ”

Lord Huang had already made a decision in his heart, and finding a few witnesses was just a formality, and the result of the trial was soon announced, An Mingyue committed murder by arson slaves, and Anfu's slaves were each punished with 100 rods, and they were detained for 15 days, and Anfu compensated Shuangxi Restaurant with 2,000 taels of silver, and ordered An Mingyue to personally come to Ningxi to make amends.

After the announcement, Lord Huang also took a special look at Jun Shaofeng's face, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he calmed down. Ning Xi was very taken aback, no matter what, she couldn't imagine that it would be such a result, she glanced at Jun Shaofeng suspiciously, only to see that guy smiled at her proudly, and asked her with a mouth shape: "Are you satisfied?" ”

Neurotic, Ning Xi said in his heart, is this kind of thing of beating a stick and giving a sweet date, is it fun to do? Rich people are just boring.

An Mingyue didn't do it: "You dare to beat my person?" Why, surnamed Huang, you wait for me, you are good-looking! She had already decided to rush to her grandfather as soon as she got home and cry to see if he, Jing Zhaoyin, could still celebrate the New Year.

Lord Huang wiped the sweat from his head and said with a smile: "Miss An, this is what General Ling Zun An meant. ”

An Mingyue said suspiciously: "What? My daddy? ”

"Exactly, otherwise, the lower officials would not dare to make such a judgment if they ate the courage of the ambitious leopard!"

"Impossible!" An Mingyue went home angrily.

But it was said that Song Tianshun went to Ningxi's house after lunch to prepare to help, but when he arrived at the door, he found that General Tie was holding the door, and he didn't know where he went, so he hurriedly asked a neighbor to inquire, and they said that he was taken away by the people from the Yamen, Song Tianshun panicked all of a sudden, something should happen to him, right?

I didn't care about anything and quickly ran in the direction of the mansion, even if it couldn't help much, it was good to give them a boldness, thinking that the two delicate and weak little girls were actually caught in the gloomy place of the mansion, I'm afraid they were all scared and cried!

Unexpectedly, halfway through, I saw Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang walking back happily holding hands, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Miss Ning, Miss Meng, are you okay?" ”

Meng Shuangshuang smiled and said: "Brother Song, we are fine, Lord Jingzhao Yin Huang is a good official, he does not bend the law for personal gain at all, not only did he not embarrass us, but also let the eldest lady who smashed our restaurant lose us a lot of silver, and we have money to reopen the restaurant!" ”

"Really? That's great. Hearing this result, Song Tianshun was also very happy for them, "Then do you still want to go to the night market to set up a stall tonight?" ”

"Go, it's nothing anyway, and besides, the raw materials are bought in the morning, what a pity to waste it!" Ning Xi is an idle character, the compensation has not been received yet, and if the matter of the restaurant is not completed for a day, she can't give up other possibilities for a day.

On the way back, he happened to meet someone selling beef, and Meng Shuangshuang was greedy when he saw it: "Ningxi, I have eaten a lot of meat you made, but I really haven't eaten much beef!" "This beef is really hard to find, cattle are not like other pigs and sheep, some people specially raise to kill to sell meat, generally the people in the countryside raise cattle to plough the fields, and they can't do it when they are old and can't work, so they take it out and kill it and sell it, but such cattle are generally old, and the people here don't like to eat meat, not to mention these old, tough and angry beef, so they can't sell it at any price, and many people don't bother to sell it at all.

Ning Xi naturally understood what Meng Shuangshuang meant, and stepped forward to ask the price with a smile, it was so cheap that it was unpleasant, and took advantage of Song Tianshun's coolie to buy a large piece of beef.

After buying rare ingredients, Ning Xi rolled up his sleeves and started working with great interest as soon as he got home.

The big stick bones were salted first, and a pot of thick beef bone soup was boiled, which was the soup base of Taiping Yan tonight, and a few pieces of pork leg meat were thrown to Song Tianshun, and he was asked to go to the side and beat it, Ning Xi was going to make radish and beef brisket next.

She bought a white belly with tendons and fat in the belly of the cow, cut it into large pieces, boiled it in boiling water for a while, then took it out and rinsed it with cold water, rubbed it vigorously, and washed the blood away. Meng Shuangshuang helped her heat the pot on the side, Ning Xi didn't put oil, and directly fried the beef brisket in the pot until it was dry, and the radish was also cut into large pieces and cooked for later use.

Then get up again, add oil, ginger and garlic and stir-fry for a while, add star anise, Sichuan pepper and sand ginger, then pour in the beef brisket that has just been fried and fried quickly, add the boiled and drained radish, splash in rice wine, add brown sugar and rock sugar, and then pour in several large bowls of water to soak the beef brisket and radish.

After the fire boils, put the ingredients such as licorice, bay leaves, grass fruit, fennel, cinnamon, tangerine peel, monk fruit and other ingredients into it, add soy sauce, and slowly boil it over a simmer, boil it for a quarter of an hour, stop the fire for a while, continue to boil for a quarter of an hour, stop the fire again, and repeat it several times until the brisket is soft and palatable, and finally put salt, skim off the oil slick on the surface, and pick out the slag of the ingredients inside and throw it away.

Smelling this rich and attractive aroma, Song Tianshun's heart itched, and she wanted to see how she did it, but she abided by the rules, turned her back to work, and didn't dare to peek at all, seeing him like this, Ning Xi laughed: "Brother Song, it's okay, you just have to watch, if you can learn better, your lo-mei stall will be able to add new varieties in the future." In fact, on a cold day, it is better to sell this in the night market, but the beef is not easy to buy, and I am afraid that it cannot be sold for a long time. ”

Song Tianshun's face turned red after saying this: "This, this is Miss Ning, your eating skills, I, how can I take it for myself?" ”

"Brother Song, don't worry, I have a lot of skills in eating, come on, I want to make a doornail meatloaf, you come and watch, I will need your help later!"

This time, the fat and thin tender meat behind the cow's neck was used, first let Song Tianshun help chop it, add shallots, minced ginger, adjust the taste with soy sauce and sesame oil, beat and stir evenly in the basin, and wrap the dough into a pie with a diameter of more than an inch and an inch and a half thick, like a big thick chess piece, and like a doornail on the door of a large family, so it is called a doornail meatloaf. Finally, it is fried in oil, and the smell is fragrant, and the mouth is full of meat, soft and chewy, and there is no fishy smell of beef.

"Let's eat this tonight, and if you can't finish it, you can sell it at the night market, by the way, Brother Song, you can bring some to Sister Zhou." Ningxi Road.

Song Tianshun chewed a meatloaf in his mouth: "This is eaten and taken, how embarrassing." ”

"What's so embarrassing, you also put in the effort to make it, come and eat a few more while it's hot." The three of them put on the pot and ate lively.

An Mingyue went back to make a fuss, although Mrs. An was distressed, she still ruthlessly asked her to listen to her father's words, and obediently went to apologize to others, as for the old lady An Guogong, who has always been able to protect her, she had already been persuaded by General An to go to Zhuangzi for an outing, and she couldn't take care of her for a while. An Mingyue had no choice but to reluctantly let people take the silver and come to Xicheng to find Ningxi in person.

The alley where they live in Ningxi is too small, and the wide carriage of Anfu can't get in, An Mingyue lost her temper for a while, and finally had to get down and walk by herself, and complained while walking: "What the hell is this place, can you live in people!" It's dirty, it's stinking! ”

Suddenly stopped: "What smell?" The people next to him also sniffed: "Miss, it seems to be the aroma of cooking." ”

"Hmph, what delicious can these poor ghosts make?" Having said that, but An Mingyue still can't walk, the smell is too tempting, I just feel that the liquid keeps coming out from under the tongue, I didn't feel hungry originally, but now I feel that my stomach is very empty, I really want to eat, I really want to eat.

An Mingyue casually pointed to someone: "You, go find out who made it, buy it for me, hurry up, I'll eat it when I finish delivering the silver." After saying that, he continued to walk forward, and after walking for a while, he found that the man was still following him, "What's the matter, go find it!" ”

"Returning to Miss, the servant feels that the aroma is coming from this direction, and the slave didn't mean to follow Miss."

An Mingyue wrinkled her nose and sniffed carefully: "Well, let's go!" ”
