Chapter Fifty-Six: Persimmon Forest Gathering
"Yanyu, I taste a little different from what we usually use in this tea, what kind of tea is this sweet and sour?" Han Mingcan turned to Yao Yanyu and asked with a smile.
"This is a fruit tea made with grapefruit, pineapple and black tea." Yao Yanyu explained with a smile: "It is said that this fruit has special nutrients in it, and the tea brewed has the effect of moisturizing the five internal organs. The weather in the north is cold and dry, so you should drink more of this tea. ”
Yun Ke immediately smiled and said: "Listening to what you said, it makes sense, go back and give me the recipe for this tea, and I will ask someone to cook it when I go back." ”
"Okay." Yao Yanyu immediately agreed, "Actually, this method is very simple, as soon as I say it, everyone will do it." ”
Yun Yao glanced at Yao Yanyu lightly, there was still disdain in her eyes, but she couldn't help but pick up the teacup and taste the tea.
Han Mingcan naturally didn't miss the expression on Yun Yao's face, so he asked with a smile, "What does the county lord think?" ”
Yun Yao glanced at Han Mingcan lightly, because of the eldest princess, she couldn't be too much to Han Mingcan, so she nodded lightly: "It's okay." ”
Han Mingcan immediately smiled and said: "If you can get a word of praise from the county lord, it is not in vain that Yan Yu is busy with this scene." ”
Even Yun Yao said this, and the others couldn't say anything more, so they drank tea and praised one after another. Yao Yanyu saw all this in her eyes, and thought to herself that it was no wonder that people said that where there were people, there were fights, power, tilting, and deceit. It seems that this is true at all.
Su Yuxin is the protagonist of this party, Su Yuxin is good at the piano, and her piano skills are counted in the circle of nobles in the entire Yundu City. Yao Yanyu didn't want everyone's topic to revolve around her, and it was indeed time for lunch. After lunch, it was time to discuss the piano, so Yao Yanyu saw that everyone had drunk a cup of tea, so she asked Su Yuyu's opinion: "Is it okay to have a banquet first?" ”
Su Yuyin asked Han Mingcan: "Sister, let's have a banquet first, and only when we are full of food and drink can we compare to piano skills, right?" ”
Han Mingcan said with a smile: "I got up early in the morning and rushed here, I was indeed hungry." ”
Yun Ke also nodded at Yun Yao with a smile and asked, "Yao'er, how are you?" I'm a little hungry too. Let's start with a feast. ”
At the sound of the order, the maids began to move, first removing the fruit snacks and then serving the copper pot with charcoal fire. The milky white broth in the copper pot is boiling with water and exuding an enticing aroma.
After the tendons were placed, all kinds of small spices were put up, and the maids slowly stepped forward with a food box, standing next to each low couch respectively, and then the food box was opened, and a plate of thin slices of mutton cut into a beautiful pattern were put up.
"Raw?" Yun Ke looked at the bright red slices of meat stacked on the crushed ice and asked in surprise.
"yes." Yao Yanyu had already personally picked up a plate of mutton, threw the meat slices into the soup pot, and said, "This is cooked and eaten, the meat is tender and delicious." ”
Gao Xuejiao, the eldest daughter of the princess, has been a little hot these days, and sighed regretfully with her cheeks: "I've been a little hot these days, I'm afraid I won't have this mouth." ”
Yao Yanyu said with a smile: "It's okay, I put two flavors of honeysuckle and white lotus seeds in this soup, and we not only have beef and mutton, but also tofu and various vegetables. ”
While speaking, Gao Xueshu had already fished out a little cooked mutton and tasted it with sauce, because she smiled and said, "Hmm! It's delicious! ”
Some people praise it, and some people envy it. I can't wait for the delicious soup stock that is already delicious, so why wait if it doesn't start at this time?
Eating hot pot has one advantage, that is, it can basically cater to the tastes of many people. All kinds of spices are placed on the table, salty and light as you like; All kinds of ingredients are ready, and meat and vegetables are yours. Moreover, Yao Yanyu also specially prepared chili oil fried with sesame seeds and peanuts, and those who like spicy flavors are completely satisfied.
For example, the county lord of Yunyao is a master who is not spicy or happy, and he was still holding a shelf with a cold face, but when he tasted the chili oil carefully prepared by Yao Yanyu, his eyes immediately lit up: "This chili pepper is fried well, is there anything else?" ”
Yao Yanyu said with a smile: "There are many more, if the county lord likes it, you can bring a small jar when you leave." ”
"Okay." A faint red cloud floated on Yun Yao's face, perhaps because she had eaten too many chili peppers.
A meal that is not very exquisite, but a unique banquet makes the girls from all provinces satisfied.
After eating and drinking, Yao Yanyu ordered the copper pot to be removed and replaced with fruit snacks, but the tea was replaced with chrysanthemum tea.
The soup pot was re-loaded on the small couch next to it, and the ingredients were for the maids of various provinces, and the other rough mothers-in-law, the little girl with the baggage, and the coachman's escort were all arranged to go to the small village, and Li Zhong sent by Yao Fengge and Feng Youcun, the first-class loyal servant of Yao Yanyu, greeted them wholeheartedly. And the county lord and the girls here had already asked someone to bring their Yaoqin over, and began to think about playing that piece later.
Su Yuxin held his own scorched tail ukulele and gently stroked a few syllables, and inadvertently looked up and saw Su Yuxin telling Cuiwei something, so he asked with a smile: "Sister Yao, where is your piano?" ”
Yao Yanyu said with a smile: "I really can't take out my piano skills, but I don't dare to show ugliness in front of you." ”
"What's this, we're just playing, who is more serious than what?" Saying that, Su Yuxuan instructed Cuiwei, "Go and fetch Sister Yao's piano." ”
Cui Wei was embarrassed and thought that my girl's piano art is basically the same as not, the piano thing...... Although it is prepared as a dowry, it is still in the treasury of the Qixiang Courtyard of the Dinghou Mansion at this time, and the eldest aunt and grandmother did not ask anyone to send it at all.
Seeing that Cui Wei didn't move, Su Yuxuan frowned slightly, and asked, "But the qin is still in the house, so you didn't bring it?" ”
Yao Yanyu smiled: "I really can't play well, you can spare me, and I'll admit punishment later." ”
Su Yuxin flattened her mouth and said unhappily: "How can there be such a thing? Conceding in before you even start? ”
Yao Yanyu explained with a smile: "I'd rather admit punishment than make a fool of myself." Everyone, please understand my feelings. ”
Han Mingcan said with a smile: "This is not a serious matter, Miss Yao has been very troubled these days, and today she has a lot of fatigue, and she is not good at the piano, since she has accepted the punishment, don't let it go." ”
"Since my sister said so, then I will follow Sister Yao, but ...... What is the punishment? Su Yuxuan smiled and looked up at the red persimmon on the top of her head, and said in a deep voice: "Just punish Sister Yao for taking this persimmon as the theme and chanting a poem." ”
Yao Yanyu smiled bitterly, thinking that if you are serious, it is not as easy to recite poetry as playing the piano!
