Chapter 21: The Book of the Thirteen Families

The Pan family's breakfast is the same as the character of the Pan family - it is very practical, for example, there is an ingredient that must be used in every meal - meat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info may be a strong gene handed down from the ancestors of the Pan family, in short, the Pan family loves meat very much, and no meat is happy.

This morning's breakfast was pork pancakes with tofu brains.

The stove for the barbecued pork cake was improved by Mr. Pan himself, and in winter, this stove has a great effect. In the morning, you can boil meat and bake cakes, and when you are hungry, you can boil steamed buns and dry sesame sauce - this is Pan Wuniang's favorite, you can use it as a brazier to warm up when it is cold, and you can boil water when you sit in a big pot.

When Ding Xicheng and Li Shisan came, Old Man Pan was adding charcoal to the stove and preparing to make meat cakes, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he couldn't help but look up at the sky - the sky had just turned white, the sun had not yet risen, and the two children were really early enough.

This time, in addition to the chief of the guard Zhao and the two family members from yesterday, there was also the housekeeper of the Ding Mansion.

"I take the liberty to disturb," Steward Ding was very polite, and his words were beautiful and decent, to the effect that Ding Xicheng and Li Shisan liked to come to the Pan family to play very much, which caused a certain burden to the Pan family, and this burden may continue in a short period of time, I hope the Pan family will bear with me, "Please take care of Master Pan", Steward Ding concluded.

In addition to passing the word, he also has a task: to send things to the Pan family, (just kidding, the two children eat for nothing every day in other people's homes, who is happy to put it aside) In addition to a lot of food, what beef and mutton, fish and shrimp, small vegetables that are difficult to find in winter, rare melons and fruits, there is also a box of medicinal materials, it is estimated that there are patients at home from Imperial Physician Qin.

In fact, Ding Xicheng told his father, and he strongly asked his father to send some good medicinal materials to Qinglan, so that Qinglan could go out of the house as soon as possible to play with them.

Sending Steward Ding away, Old Man Pan returned to the kitchen. Pan Erniang had already made a few baked cakes, sprinkled them with sesame seeds, put them on a rolling pin and handed them to Old Man Pan.

"Bang", the baked cakes are neatly pasted on the wall of the furnace one by one, and after being heated, they quickly swell, and the dough begins to turn yellow.

The heat of the baked cake is particularly important, if the fire is too urgent, the outer skin of the baked cake will be burned, but the meat filling inside is not fully cooked; If the fire is too small, the skin will harden, and there will be no moisture in the noodles, and the wheat flavor of the noodles will not come out. Old Man Pan is obviously proficient in this, and he is also very skilled in pasting baked cakes.

Li Shisan and Ding Xicheng couldn't bear to sit in the dining room and wait, and also followed to the kitchen, Fan was serving chicken juice bean brains, and asked with a smile: "Can the two young masters eat leeks?" ”

Seeing that the two nodded, they asked again: "Do you want red oil and spicy seeds?" ”

Ding Xicheng asked, "Auntie, can Qingqing usually add red oil and spicy seeds?" "Ding Xicheng is a self-acquaintance, and Li Shisan is also quite interesting, both of them follow Qinglan to call people.

Fan nodded and smiled, "She, no spicy or happy!" It's almost time to add spicy seeds to the dry rice! "The Pan family knows that Qinglan loves spicy food, and Old Man Pan also likes spicy food, so the two of them are very consistent in appetite, and Old Man Pan is still very proud of this, and feels that among so many children and grandchildren, Qinglan is the most like him.

The two of them took the bean brain with a smile, sat on the small table in the kitchen and ate it in small bites, the main meal has not yet come!

After a while, the hot biscuits were ready. Old Man Pan was afraid of burning them, so he found a few pieces of brown paper wrapped in snacks, wrapped them and handed them over.

Li 13 took a bite of the baked cake, he~~~ It's so hot! The heat and the aroma of the meat filling in the inside diffuse with the bite of the gap, fold the two sides of the baked cake in half and squeeze it in half, and the filling inside reveals its true face: full of diced meat and chicken cakes, with the unique umami of fungus and sea rice, moderate saltiness, crispy skin and tender inside, bite into the golden sesame seeds, full of sesame aroma mixed in it, and you can taste the spicy taste of minced ginger and peppercorns when you taste it carefully.

Li 13 was surprised: "Grandpa, where did the peppercorns come from?" ”

Old Man Pan said with a smile: "I harvested it the year before last, Qingqing loves to eat it, and I haven't sold it." This pepper tastes good, wrap a steamed dumpling and put it on the seasoning. "The Pan family loves stuffed things, and the family is also very good at these handmade noodle work.

"But I didn't see peppercorns?" Ding Xicheng opened his meat stuffing and took a closer look.

"This is our family's secret ingredient!" Qinglan walked in, dressed like a revenant, her mouth and nose were tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of large beautiful eyes.

"Why did you get out?" The crowd asked.

"My grandmother said to eat meat and burn it this morning." Qinglan explained that she, like Mr. Pan, likes to eat hot food, and thinks that the food that has just been baked with pot gas is the most fragrant. On such a cold day, when the fire is brought to the house, it will not be crispy or hot!

"It's a meatloaf." Li Shisan laughed at her, well~~~ It's delicious, it was finally not in vain that Ye got up so early!

Qinglan looked at Pan Erniang with some accusations: Didn't you say that the meat was delicious and burned?!

"The meat pancakes are delicious, too! It's the first time I've eaten such a thin skin, but it's crispy! Ding Xicheng comforted her.

"I'll make you meat tomorrow," Old Man Pan promised.

"Good~!" The two boys raised their hands in approval.

Qinglan: ...

After breakfast, a few people went back to Qinglan House, and the Li family had already smoked the house.

"Why do you still have that Raushzi?" Li 13 found that Qinglan was still covered in the house.

"Cough", Qinglan pointed to the mask.

"It's not that you cough worse when you can't breathe", Li Shisan glanced at her.

"My sister is afraid of infecting you." Mingyu hurriedly explained for his sister.

"Will you be afraid of contagion!?" Li Shisan, a little brat, has never been able to follow his hair.

"At that time, Imperial Doctor Qin will definitely isolate us." Qinglan scared him.

"Then you wear it, Ang, wear it well," Ding Xicheng said to the side: "What are we going to play today?" You said yes last night. ”

Qinglan gave Mingyu a look, and Mingyu immediately went to run errands.

Poker, cards, checkers, puzzles... Qinglan was very serious and very attentive to prepare for Li Shisan's games that could not be played in this era, and several children also patiently explained to him various games that they thought were fun in Weixian County. The former is grateful from the bottom of my heart, just kidding, imported medicine, in this era, my sister doubts that my sister can be so lucky must have saved the earth in her last life. The latter is much simpler, just sharing happiness with new partners.

In the next few days, the two of them couldn't wait to grow up in the Pan family, and leaving every night was like asking them to live and die. The Ding family and the Ding family all feel that they are bad people: Young masters, don't you just see you for a few hours, you really want to sing Fahai, don't you know how to love swelling? !

Old Man Ding and Old Lady Ding are also very curious, what kind of game can keep the two children in the house every day? If only I could be so attentive to reading...

What surprised them even more was that the two children's computing skills had improved by leaps and bounds, and they could even pop up some poems and idioms from time to time.

Several children were having fun every day, but they didn't know that poor Pan Erniang was about to face unemployment. Because Qinglan was sick, she took three days off, and three days later, she returned to work in the restaurant, and was invited to the office of the shopkeeper Lu for the first time.

Silver ticket? "Is this...?" Pan Erniang looked at the silver ticket in front of her and was puzzled.

"I heard your daughter is seriously ill?" Shopkeeper Lu rarely showed a smiling face.

"Yes, but..."Pan Ernian admitted, but my daughter is no longer in trouble, just raise it, Pan Erniang secretly added in her heart.

"You can take three hundred taels here, give the child medical treatment and medicine, and do more good things." The tone of the shopkeeper Lu is like a good leader who cares about his subordinates.

"This, this..."Pan Erniang was puzzled, why are you so good to me? Other employees don't have this kind of treatment, right? Weasel gives...

"After the new year, you can take good care of the children at home. Shopkeeper Zhou mentioned you to me before leaving, and I can see that you are also quite talented in white cases. But you also know that there are rules in our restaurant, but all pregnant female workers will no longer be hired, I can't break the rules because of you, right? So a month ago, you handed over the handover work, and talked about the dozen or so special dishes you studied in our restaurant with Master Bai, who took over your class, and taught others, so as not to bury your skills. ”

Before Pan Erniang came back to her senses, Shopkeeper Lu went straight to the point and conveyed his meaning clearly.

This is... Fired yourself? Pan Erniang was very sad in her heart, when the family needed money, but the shopkeeper Lu quit herself! Thinking of her small family, Pan Erniang was worried for a while, Qinglan and Mingyu's illness, even looking at the treatment, not increasing the foreign debt of gold, spent nearly five hundred taels, and now the family's savings are only more than two hundred taels; The New Year is coming soon, and a bunch of favors are leaving, and one hundred and eighty taels of silver are indispensable; After a year, Qingqing has reached the age of going to school, she is smart again, she must be good at reading, and she can't delay her children; Now a family of five lives in their mother's house, no one said anything about the short-term transition, but it is not a long-term solution, she and Shu Lao Er are both face-saving, at most next spring, they have to move out, and it is a big expense to find a house!

Pan Erniang was silent, she worked here as soon as she recruited a job, from a fire girl to a white case master, and only she knew how much suffering she had suffered in the middle. has been working in a restaurant for more than ten years, and it is false to say that there is no emotion, there is her youth, her efforts, her friends, and the recognition of her guests. Thinking that she was about to leave here, Pan Erniang couldn't accept it for a while.

Three hundred taels, bought out her own recipes, bought out her job, and her annual income in the restaurant added up to three hundred taels! I really want to throw the silver ticket on the drooping triangular eyes of the shopkeeper Lu!

But does she have the capital? Can she refuse this money in a chic manner?

She couldn't. In that case, if you are the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being the fifteenth!

"Five hundred taels, I'll give you two more new recipes." In the past few days when she has been taking care of her daughter at home, she has studied several medicinal recipes with her daughter, which will not let the medicinal taste take away the umami of the ingredients, nor will it have much impact on the overall taste of the dishes, and can play a role in recuperating and maintaining the body.

The shopkeeper Lu was unhappy in his heart, and dared to bargain with Lao Tzu, and scolded in his heart, "Then you make it for me to taste first, and then talk about it." ”

"Okay!" Pan Erniang responded happily, and she was still quite confident in the taste of these new medicinal diets, several children in the family had tasted them, and even the most picky thirteenth young master said it was good. Hum! I need medicinal herbs to make medicinal diets, I will teach them well, teach them a few more times, and I won't feel sorry for you!

In the next period of time, Pan Erniang dutifully taught Master Bai and stood on her last shift.

The night before the lunar month, Imperial Physician Qin returned. After Li Shisan came to Wei, Tian Tian and Ding Xi were in the Pan family, and they couldn't remember that Imperial Doctor Qin was coming. Imperial Physician Qin was also happy to be idle, and he was only responsible for Li Shisan's health and safety anyway. So he and his nephew went to the surrounding areas of the county to collect some rare or local medicinal herbs.

After dinner, Imperial Physician Qin and Li Shisan returned to the guest room together. Ding's guest room is located on the west side of the garden, and you can see the garden view when you open the window. I have to say that the garden of the Ding family is famous in Weixian County, and it was built with a lot of effort, and it was designed and built by everyone in Suzhou Garden.

"What is Uncle Qin looking for me?" Li Shisan called Uncle Qin, the imperial physician of Qin, to show respect.

"Thirteenth son, it's been ten days since we came out, and we will enter the Layue Gate tomorrow, and it may not be appropriate to stay in Ding's house any longer." Imperial Physician Qin said slowly, if you don't live in Layue, this is the rule, even if the host doesn't care, but at this time it's time to prepare for the New Year, and staying any longer will affect the New Year, and it's a little ignorant.

"Then Uncle Qin, hurry up and go back with Brother Wenguang, so as to prepare for the New Year." Li 13 deservedly said.

"Huh?" Imperial Physician Qin didn't come back to his senses for a while, what about you when we left?

Li 13 happily explained: "I'll give my father... Dear, my mother and eldest brother wrote a letter and sent it a few days ago, and I told them that I was going to spend the New Year here. "Mainly Pan Mingyi and Shu Mingyu, singing and partnering, said that the excitement of the Pan family and Weixian New Year is not difficult to find in the sky and underground, which made Li Shisan's heart itch, and he wrote a few large sheets on the spot, packed a large box of snacks he scavenged from the Pan family, put them in the baggage for the Jiang Mansion, and sent them out together. Maybe my father and brother have received it now!

Li Shisan's burden was placed on the desk of the Heart Cultivation Hall on the afternoon of the third day after it was sent. Emperor Jingtai sent two secret guards to protect Li Shisan, and he only followed him from a distance every day, never appeared in front of Li Shisan, and Li Shisan himself did not know. As soon as the burden entered the post station, he was cut off by two secret guards on the spot, and immediately transported to the imperial city through the special speed channel.

Emperor Jingtai said to his eldest son with some complaints: "This stinky boy! I think he's crazy! After speaking, he glanced at the snacks in the box with disgust.

After reading the letter, the fifth prince said with a smile: "My younger brother has made a new friend and is on the rise, so it's normal to be reluctant to leave." After speaking, he glanced at the snack box. The fifth prince is a very self-disciplined person, he doesn't have too much love for anything, and he doesn't dare to pay too much attention, he is just simply curious.

"Humph! I bought a broken horse and it was worth showing off with me, and I took him with a little food, which was really useless! Emperor Jingtai picked up the letter from his younger son to his eldest son and shook it, picking at each sentence and stabbing at him.

"I think my brother's handwriting is very beneficial." The fifth prince said truthfully that he was very happy for his younger brother's growth. (Qinglan: Just kidding, every day my sister asks him to remember the score of the landlord)

"Don't help him say nice things, just barely tidy." Emperor Jingtai picked up the tea bowl and glanced at the snack box again.

"The father agreed to the thirteenth", the fifth prince continued to intercede for the thirteenth. In his life... He hopes that his younger brother can have a different life, at least get a sincere friendship.

Emperor Jingtai didn't answer, shook his hand and let the eldest son go down, and picked up the younger son's letter.

"Dear Daddy..."Emperor Jingtai looked at the title at the beginning of the letter and felt a chill, how could he have a feeling of a pet? What a disrespect!

"I have successfully arrived in Weixian, and a very interesting thing happened on the way?!..." )

This letter was written under the guidance of Qing Lan, and Li Shisan was very skeptical, so that his father would agree?

"Don't believe it," Qinglan said to him, "When the time comes, your father will tie you back, and we will eat more delicious food!" When the time comes, you can play hard and bring out your share, which is interesting enough! ”

Li Shisan's eyes widened angrily: "Master will write as you say!" If my father doesn't agree, then my father will tie you back too! ”
