Chapter 207: Are You All Foodies When We Are Treats?!
Before Ye Kai came to the capital, Ye Ziping had already called Chu Yunsong.
Of course, in the phone call, Ye Ziping did not explain that Ye Kai went to visit Lao Chu's house with a task, but only said that he would give the children more space for contact to help cultivate feelings or something, and at the same time, he also explained that Zhu brought some snacks for Old Man Chu.
Chu Yunsong also knew the meaning of the song after hearing the strings, and he could probably guess that Ye Kai came over this time, it would definitely not be as simple as sending food, there was always some saying in it.
Before getting on the plane, Ye Kai packed a few flavorful snacks here.
After landing at the Beijing Airport, Li Da had already sent someone to wait here, and almost didn't make any stops, so he drove straight to Qingfeng Villa on the outskirts of Beijing, Yunhaiju.
The car was naturally a Hummer off-road vehicle that Ye Kai got back, but as soon as he got into the car, Ye Kai found that there was an extra passenger sitting in the car, which made him stunned.
"Uncle Li, why did your old man come?" When Ye Kai saw Uncle Li Tianzheng, his heart was full of surprise.
"I'm here to pick you up." Uncle Li replied with a smile.
Ye Kai looked at Uncle Li, and saw that Uncle Li looked good, the stars on his shoulders were bright, and he was the majesty of a lieutenant general of the Republic, but he didn't think that Uncle Li was here purely to pick him up for such a trivial matter.
As the head of the military intelligence system, Uncle Li is busy with affairs every day and has countless things to worry about, how could he run to the airport to pick him up because of this little thing?
Could it be that Uncle Li came here to meet Old Man Chu with him? Ye Kai immediately guessed this possibility.
"Uncle Li, you have a mouthful, I have a hot little Shaoxing chicken porridge here." Ye Kai didn't ask Uncle Li what his purpose was, he just turned out a box from the side, took out a thermos bucket, and said to Uncle Li with a smile.
"Oh, that's a coincidence, I'm a little hungry here." Uncle Li was not polite, took the thermos bucket over, and scooped it with a spoon and drank it.
Xiao Shaoxing Chicken Porridge is an authentic Jiangnan style snack, which is a stem rice porridge cooked with chicken broth, accompanied by chicken and various ingredients. When eating chicken porridge, cut the cooked chicken into small pieces and put it on a plate, put the chicken porridge into a bowl, add green onions, minced ginger and chicken fat, the chicken porridge is yellow and green, and the chicken is white and shiny, which is pleasing to the eye and increases the appetite.
Uncle Li took a sip and felt that the chicken porridge was sticky and slippery, fragrant and delicious, and the chicken was tender and refreshing, and the more you ate it, the more fragrant it became.
"Yes, it's really authentic." Uncle Li finished drinking the chicken porridge with a smile and said to Ye Kai, "I am stained with the light of Old Man Chu this time!" ”
"That's true." Ye Kai didn't deny it, "The gift I gave you was placed in another place, this porridge is really not specially prepared for you." ”
"Understood." Uncle Li smiled and said.
If it weren't for Uncle Li suddenly getting into the car to pick up Ye Kai, of course it would be impossible to drink hot chicken porridge, after all, Ye Kai was not full and had nothing to do, so he took the plane to deliver the courier back and forth.
The car soon arrived outside Qingfeng Villa, and after getting out of the car, Ye Kai looked up at the plaque of Yunhaiju, and then led people to carry those boxes containing food, and walked directly inside.
"Ye Ershao is really fast enough." It was actually Miss Chu Jingxuan who greeted them at the gate, but Ye Kai was a little surprised.
In my impression, Chu Jingxuan doesn't like to be sent so much, and Chu Yunsong usually treats more guests.
It's just that Chu Jingxuan's tone was not without ridicule, and it was obvious that she was a little dissatisfied with Ye Kai.
Ye Kai touched his chin, and said in his heart that he had offended this Miss Chu again, but he didn't think so.
"Hello Uncle Li." However, when Miss Chu saw Uncle Li, she was still polite.
"I haven't seen you for many days, but Xiao Jing is much more beautiful again." Uncle Li actually praised Chu Jingxuan twice.
Ye Kai scratched his head, looked at Uncle Li, and said in his heart Did he take the wrong medicine, he has grown so big, it seems that he has not heard Uncle Li praise which girl is beautiful, right?
It seems that Miss Chu's prestige is indeed far and wide, and even Lieutenant General Li Tianzheng has to buy her face.
"Uncle Li is polite, grandpa is entertaining guests at home, please come in with me." Chu Jingxuan said.
Uncle Li bowed slightly, and walked in with Chu Jingxuan.
Ye Kai naturally didn't look at Chu Jingxuan to be so courteous to him, he carried the box by himself, followed behind Chu Jingxuan, and walked all the way into Yunhaiju.
In the warm pavilion in the courtyard, the old man Chu was really entertaining guests, an old man about seventy or eighty years old, chatting with the old man Chu Feng Chu over tea.
"Chu Lao is good, Qiu Lao is good." After Uncle Li entered, he greeted the two old men one by one.
"Oh, good. Oh my God, it's rare for you to come to the door. "Old Man Chu saw Li Tianzheng appear, but there was not much surprise, the old man known as Old Qiu, was indeed a little surprised, I don't know what Uncle Li came over, what is it for?
Li Shu Li Tianzheng has a very high status in the military intelligence system, especially in the past 20 years, he has concentrated on the military intelligence system, not only has he done a lot of great things, but also cultivated a lot of talents, and the older generation of figures like Old Man Chu and Old Qiu are all clear.
"You have guests, so I won't bother." The old man Qiu stood up, nodded with the old man Chu, and left.
"This old man Qiu looks very angry." After Qiu Lao left, Ye Kai said to himself.
"You are young, I don't know him, he is Hou Laosan's former father-in-law, speaking of which, he also has some relationship with you." Uncle Li suddenly said to Ye Kai.
"It turned out to be him." Ye Kai nodded, and then he understood why this old man Qiu didn't have much interest in them.
Hou Laosan skipped two levels and directly became the secretary of the municipal party committee of Haidong City, a deputy provincial and ministerial-level official, which was promoted by the old Ye family, which invisibly refuted the face of the old man Qiu, he naturally had no good impression of the people of the old Ye family, and there was no face-to-face conflict, it was all for the sake of the old man Chu's face.
"Ye Ershao didn't go to school in Mingzhu City, and suddenly ran back to the capital, is it because he made a special trip to see my old man?" Comrade Chu Feng suddenly asked.
"Not really." Ye Kai said with a smile, "I came to see Xiao Jing, and you are just piggybacking." ”
"Hahaha......" When the old man Chu heard this, not only did he not get angry, but laughed, and he seemed to be very happy.
"The little girl is ashamed, she thinks she doesn't have such a big face." Chu Jingxuan glanced at Ye Kai and said.
The style at that glance made Ye Kai's heart move a little, but he quickly recovered, opened the box, and then took out the snacks and flavored snacks that were still hot from inside, and set up a full table, "Before getting on the plane, I asked someone to make it in a hurry, fortunately, there was no delay on the road, and it is just right to eat now." ”
"Crab shell yellow? Rice cake with pork ribs? There is also a little Shaoxing chicken porridge......" Old Man Chu saw it, and his eyes lit up, and he said with some approval, "You really have a heart." ”
After Chu Jingxuan saw it, her face also had joy, "Pork ribs rice cake, it looks good." ”
Needless to say at the moment, Old Man Chu directly sandwiched a piece of pork rib rice cake and put it in his mouth, as if he was enjoying it very much, and then picked up the bowl and went to drink the still hot little Shaoxing chicken porridge, which was full of aroma and had a long aftertaste.
Chu Jingxuan was very interested in the pork rib rice cake, and she ate several pieces in a row, and she still felt a little unsatisfied.
The traditional method of pork rib rice cake is more particular, to choose the pork backbone meat from Changzhou, Wuxi and other places, marinated in soy sauce, and then put it into the oil pot mixed with soy sauce, oil, sugar, green onion ginger, wine, etc., until the color is purple red, the meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is strong and fragrant.
At the same time, after the Songjiang rice is cooked, it is put in a stone mortar and beaten repeatedly with a hammer, and then it is taken out after beating until the rice has no whole grains, cut into half and two, each one is wrapped in a small piece of pork ribs that have been soaked, and then it is boiled in the sauce oil pot, when eating, sprinkled with five-spice powder, there is both the strong fragrance of pork ribs, and the soft glutinous crispiness of rice cakes, which is very delicious.
The pork rib rice cake that Ye Kai brought over this time is to mix flour, water chestnut flour, five-spice powder, and eggs together and soak them on the surface of the ribs, and put them in oil to cook.
This kind of pork ribs is golden in color, crispy on the surface, fresh and tender in meat, and Songjiang rice is added with sweet noodle sauce together with red soy sauce and pork ribs, poured with chili sauce, which is fragrant in the mouth, slightly sweet and spicy, tender and palatable.
Chu Jingxuan's eating appearance was very elegant, Ye Kai sat on the side, looking at her quietly, feeling that it was a kind of visual supreme enjoyment, and he couldn't help but secretly praise himself in his heart, the old Chu family really deserves to be one of the leaders of the big political and wealthy families, and the granddaughter who has been cultivated is really a princess of a wealthy family.
Chu Jingxuan quietly ate a few pork ribs, and drank a small bowl of small Shaoxing chicken porridge, looking happy, and her expression towards Ye Kai was not as full of gunpowder as just now.
Ye Xingxing thought in his heart, the people take food as the sky, this sentence is really reasonable, if you want to touch a woman's heart, you must first conquer her stomach.
Between his thoughts, Old Man Chu also ate something slowly, and with great interest, he picked two pieces of Jiangnan dim sum brought by Ye Kai, put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly, as if he remembered the scene when he was in Jiangnan again, and he was a little selfless.
After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Old Man Chu ordered someone to soak in the best red robe, and when the fragrance of tea was ethereal, Old Man Chu suddenly pointed to Ye Kai's nose and said sharply, "The last time you came to see me, you brought Russian dishes, and this time you came to see my granddaughter, you brought Jiangnan snacks, could it be said that in your Ye Ershao's heart, our old Chu family is a foodie?!" ”
When Ye Kai heard this, he was stunned, where did he start with this?
But think about it, it seems that every time I come over, I am indeed always inseparable from food, no wonder Old Man Chu is going to be mad at himself after eating and drinking enough today!
