Chapter 146: Red Crisp Hands
Ouyang Kangxin said that it would be good for his family to be blessed if it was troublesome to cook, why did this kind of thing bother her? Just to beat people out, Nianfu raised his eyebrows, and said seriously, "If you think the phoenix claws are not good, what about the chicken feet?" ”
Burst! Ouyang Kang burst out laughing, and the word "Nianfu Chicken Feet" was in the Huai'an dialect, and it was suddenly mixed in, which was very joyful.
Although Guan Yaozu didn't understand, he knew that Lu Dao was not a good word, so he immediately pouted, "Sister Mu, don't tease me." If I could call the shots, why would I bother you? ”
Ouyang Kang laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and he was about to tell him not to be embarrassed about Nianfu, and when he turned around to help him come up with an idea, he suddenly heard Nianfu Youyou spit out a name, "Red crisp hands, okay?" ”
Red crisp hands? This name is elegant, and it is too elegant!
Guan Yaozu immediately patted his chest if he got a treasure, "Sister Mu, I didn't say it, I have all your new clothes for the new year." Talk slowly, and I'll send someone back to talk. ”
Seeing that he ran away as if he was burning his buttocks, Ouyang Kang looked at Nian Fu suspiciously, "How did you come up with this name?" "It's not her style at all!
Nianfu took out a braised pig's trotter with a bright red color, and told him calmly, "This, in some places in the countryside, is also called red crisp hands." ”
Ouyang Kang looked at the fat big hooves, and then thought about the slender little chicken feet, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he left without saying a word.
Woo, the little hair ball didn't know when he got up in Nianfu's small kitchen again, shaking his head and tail at the big hoof, drooling and dripping.
"That's what you can eat too?" Nianfu glanced at its small body with disdain, which was no bigger than two pig's trotters, and put away the big red crispy hand. Another little red crisp hand gagged its mouth.
But looking at the greedy cat of Wangcai, Nianfu was a little worried. It stands to reason that animals can't eat too much salt, which is not good for the body. But this little cub eats oily mouth, and now he doesn't eat raw and tasteless things at all. It seems that I have to consult Dr. Gao to find a way for this greedy little wolf cub to go back.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Doctor Gao happily carried two packets of medicine to give gifts, "Zhilu said that there is nothing lacking in what you eat and drink here, so I grabbed two pairs of medicinal materials for hangover soup and turned around to boil them." One bowl for one person. It's the best way to stay healthy. ”
Nianfu stepped forward to thank him, and Wangcai looked left and right with the unfinished phoenix claws in his mouth, trying to find a place to hide.
Doctor Gao smiled, "Don't hide. I've seen you. The guests haven't come yet. You kid can steal your mouth! ”
The little hair ball whined dissatisfiedly. It seems that Zhilu Dao is saying bad things about it, and wants to fight with this white-bearded old man, and is afraid of the silver needle in his hand. He was reluctant to let go of half a phoenix claw in his mouth, and that little appearance made people laugh even more.
Since they all came to the kitchen, they naturally had to have good ingredients, Nianfu didn't gnaw bones for Dr. Gao, but brought out a plate of braised tofu, "Grandpa, try this, see if my craftsmanship is good?" ”
Yo! Dr. Gao's eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece of tofu that was fried first and then marinated and put it in his mouth, and when he bit it gently, his mouth was immediately full of juice, and the tough skin wrapped the tender tofu, which was extremely salty and tempting, "Hmm...... This is good! It is worthy of a family heirloom, I don't think the tofu in the capital is authentic for you. ”
Nianfu smiled smugly, she thought so too. It's just that making tofu is too troublesome, if it weren't for Ouyang Kang'er to have a serious treat today, she wouldn't have bothered to bother with it.
The method of tofu was taught by Daddy Shi, but this braised tofu is the best made by Hui Niang.
First of all, the fresh tofu should be boiled with a strong fire to make many small holes, and then it should be fried in oil when it is cooled, so that the brine can be fully sucked into the tofu and achieve the effect of overflowing with juice after taking a bite. The surrounding villagers like to drink two cups, there is no one who does not love the stewed tofu of the Shi family. Especially for an elderly person like Dr. Gao, who has bad teeth, he loves this even more.
Today, because of the wine and cooking, there is a lot of soup at home, Nianfu has invested a lot of money, and directly uses the soup stock to play the base of the brine, and the taste is not good.
Just as I was eating, I suddenly saw someone probing over, "This is tofu?" Give me a taste. ”
Yu Sansheng's appearance was not unusual, but it was the girl who followed him.
Glancing at each other awkwardly, Nian Fu stepped forward to greet him a little awkwardly, "Master Yu is here, this is ......"
"My apprentice." Yu Sansheng unceremoniously went to the tofu by himself, and introduced, "A Ying is a girl from the Lu family, and their family has been serving the palace diet for generations, and there are many unique features. Her aunt and grandmother Lu Shanggong are also half of my master, so I also accept Ah Ying as half an apprentice, if you are willing to worship under me, you will be her junior sister. In the future, when you two girls are together, you can not only learn from each other, but also be companions, how nice? ”
Be a junior sister to that girl? Pull it down! Not only Nianfu, but even Lu Ying felt extremely awkward.
Before she came over today, Yu Sansheng only told her to meet a little girl who was also very talented in cooking, who would have thought that it was Sister Mu who made crystal rolls?
To say that in the past, Nianfu used to have two points of thought to worship Yu Sansheng as a teacher, but now there is no half of it. Hehe didn't take the topic with a dry smile, and only politely invited people out," Master Yu said with a smile. The kitchen is so dirty, so please go out and sit down. ”
"No need." Lu Ying glanced up and down with a little curiosity, "Your kitchen is well tied." ”
Of course. Because he wanted to treat him, Nianfu applied to his parent Ouyang Kang, and by the way, he also transformed the design of the kitchen at home to imitate the modern kitchen.
Just a short distance from the new dining room, a sheltered place was chosen and half of the corridor was converted into a functional kitchen. Washing and chopping, frying, frying, frying, steaming and cooking are independent of each other, which avoids cross-contamination and fume invasion to the greatest extent. In particular, the small kitchen that Nianfu set up for himself is even smaller and cleaner. I even made a water tank, and the root water pipe was made into semi-tap water, which was very convenient for washing and using.
This is also thanks to the stone blacksmith, under Zhong Shan's operation, he is now the first private servant raised by Ouyang Kang.
Under his careful design, the iron furnace that Nianfu gave him has developed several specifications and styles of large, medium and small, and it has sold very well. I heard that Nianfu wanted to get a water tank, so naturally he took it all.
The wisdom of the working people is really infinite, only heard of a preliminary idea of Nianfu, the stone blacksmith used his brains, and got a brand new large bath barrel, with a lid on it, drilled a hole at the bottom, connected the bamboo water pipe to the house, and then made a shelf similar to a wheel, which was convenient for the bath barrel to be cleaned up and down. Then only add iron to fix some joints, and make a simple water faucet at the end, and it becomes a cheap semi-tap water device.
Nianfu didn't think about making it into iron, but the blacksmith shook his head when he heard it, the capital will soon enter winter, if it is made of iron, wait until winter, the water will soon freeze, and it can't be used at all, it is better to make it into wood, and the insulation effect is better. Anyway, now Nianfu has a lot of iron stoves at home, which is convenient for boiling hot water, and when the weather is cold, you can also use hot water to add it to the bucket, which is more convenient to use.
Lu Ying was amazed, and saw that the dishes and chopsticks here were not like ordinary people's cupboards, but made of bamboo to make shelves with gaps at the bottom, and all the plates and dishes were erected and inserted to ensure that the water after washing the dishes could be fully drained.
As for the broken porcelain on the windowsill of the stove, others can't understand it, but Lu Ying understands it at a glance.
No matter how much you love cleanliness, the fumes on the stove are always annoying. In order to keep the palace tidy, glazed clay bricks are used to make it easy to clean. And Nianfu is spread here with broken porcelain, obviously the same idea.
However, porcelain is much more expensive than pottery, and Nianfu doesn't look very rich.
seemed to see the doubts in her eyes, and Nianfu was not pretentious, "When our house was cleaned up, we picked out a lot of broken porcelain, which was originally piled up in one place and was useless, but later moved here to use it when it was used as a kitchen." ”
In fact, this is still the credit of Ouyang Dashao, originally people were going to throw away those broken porcelain, but Ouyang Kang felt sorry for the money, thinking that it was a pity to throw such a good thing away, so let it be put in one place first. Later, when Zhong Shan came, when he presided over the repair work, he found those broken porcelain, such as the treasure, immediately picked and selected, some of the things that were said to be antiques were kept, and some decorative vase fragments were left to decorate.
Like the circle of irregular flowers pasted outside the door, Nianfu also saw the craftsman doing this and suddenly remembered that he could use this to lay the window sill. In this era, there is no detergent, although cleaning the kitchen has its own subordinates, but Nianfu also wants to reduce their workload. After actually trying it, the effect is very good. She has already told Zhong Shan when she has time to clean up the house thoroughly, find more broken porcelain, and cover the entire kitchen, including the four walls, then it will be called clean.
Lu Ying looked at one place and was amazed, not understanding how this little girl had so many wonderful and practical ideas in her head. And after Yu Sansheng tried the braised tofu made by Nianfu, his expression was a little calmer.
"Ying'er, you come and try this."
Nianfu didn't understand that a small piece of tofu made by himself actually made the master and apprentice eat a different kind of seriousness.
"What, this tofu is not well done?" In fact, she really wanted to ask if she had made Lu Ying a flavor again.
But this time, the master and apprentice said in unison, "This tofu is very well done, did you make it yourself?" ”
"yes." Nianfu is not modest at all this time, if you really want to talk about it, her family is indeed doing well. The highest level is, of course, Daddy Shi, followed by Hui Niang, although Nianfu is a little bit again, but compared to ordinary people, the level is still a lot higher.
Yu Sansheng asked, "Then can you make tofu flowers?" ”
Nianfu shook his head, Yu Sansheng just felt a little regretful, so he listened to her, "You didn't say it earlier, I finished eating all the tofu flowers I made in the morning, and now I don't have them." ”
Lu Ying was a little surprised, and asked tentatively, "Then can you trouble you to make another bowl in your spare time?" ”
Nianfu looked at her strangely, if you want to eat, can you just do it yourself? The level of the imperial chef, do you still need her to help? (To be continued......)
