Chapter 16: Try your hand at it
An hour later, I handed the food box to the second brother and asked him to send it to the inner courtyard where Sen Luo lived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Then he and Qingxi, sitting idly in the shade under the tree, listened to him play the willow flute.
After a while, Sen Luo's white-clothed attendant came out of the courtyard and respectfully invited me and Qingxi in, saying that Sen Luo wanted to meet the chef who was cooking.
I straightened my clothes and went into the inner courtyard with Qingxi.
There is a fragrance of jasmine in the yard, which is light and elegant. Sen Luo sat on a stone bench in the middle of the courtyard, in front of him three small dishes that I had served. Sen Luo's long hair hung down at his feet, and the white jade chopsticks in his hand were still in the air. As if thinking about something, when he saw us come in, a faint smile appeared on his face, which was completely different from the people who were frozen before, and there was a feeling of warm sun in a trance.
"This girl, I don't know who she studied from, this pair of skillful hands can make such an elegant and dusty dish, which really makes me appreciate it." Sen Luo opened his mouth, and a low voice came out between his two thin lips, which was actually the same as the voice of the shadows.
"Don't mind, girl, I've been sick since I was a child, and my voice is different from that of an ordinary woman. What is your name? Seeing that my expression was abnormal, Sen Luo easily explained.
"Oh, my name is Xiao Yan, and my brother and I came here to seek medical treatment, I have never seen such a beautiful woman as the county lord, and I lost my mind for a while." I panicked to cover up.
"Can you tell me how to make this dish?" Senro asked
"Of course, these three dishes are golden cinnamon tofu, lotus koi, and potpourri nectar soup." I'll talk about them one by one.
"Sounds like it's interesting." Sen Luo laughed.
I cleared my throat and said one by one: "Golden cinnamon tofu, it is the tip of the newly opened osmanthus on the branch, and the chrysanthemum sweet wine is boiled into a thick shape over low heat, and the cloud leg and honey are added to taste, the tofu is three inches square, cut into a checkerboard block with a knife, boiled in water to remove the fishy smell, steamed in the pot, cooled, with the golden cinnamon cloud leg sauce, it should be a light side dish to dispel the heat in this season" I smiled slightly.
"Well, it's really good, the sweetness and saltiness are moderate, and the light and peaceful tofu is matched with the sweet aroma of cinnamon, which is really unique." Sen Luo bowed.
"This lotus carp, obtained is a fresh carp, raised with wine for half an hour, the fresh fish body is immersed in fine wine, the fishy smell is exhausted, and then the lotus leaf is tiled at the bottom of the plate, the lotus is rolled with star anise cinnamon and put into the belly of the fish, the fish body is changed into a lotus shape, slightly fried in the oil pan, and seasoned with sweet and sour sauce."
"Well, it's also a wonderful method, the lotus aroma and wine are overflowing, the fish body is crispy and sweet, although it is fried but not greasy, the two complement each other. Good dish. Sen Luo picked up the spoon, looked at me and said, "This honey soup, I guess it's also a very interesting recipe, right?" The taste is amazing, give me another bowl, and I'll listen to you."
"The county lord atons for his sins, and he only gets a bowl of nectar soup with a hundred flowers." I took two steps back and bowed.
"Daring, are you stealing food in the kitchen? How can there only be one bowl of soup? "Sen Luo was not born yet, but the guards beside her opened their mouths first." Yan Feng, don't be rude" Sen Luo glared at the guard.
"This hundred flowers and nectar soup, indeed only one bowl, obtained is the new flowers outside the city this morning, collect the dew on the petals, a total of only one bowl, the petals are crushed, the juice is mixed into the flower dew, with the stream water to steam through the water, a bowl of water steamed into a cup of soup, so there is only one bowl." I explained.
"Well, it's rare to find a celebrity chef. Today, I met the girl, and Sen Luo asked for something and begged the girl to agree. Sen Luo put down his chopsticks, stood in front of me, and bowed.
Wow, don't be so polite, she's a county lord. My heart rejoices, and I don't know who asks whom. But his expression was still controlled into a look of surprise.
"Thank you for the county lord's love, the little girl is just a grass farmer, and she brought her younger brother here to visit a famous doctor for treatment, I don't know what I can help the county lord?"
"I have an elder brother who lives in the Hades Temple, and the last time I came to visit him, I saw that he had lost a lot of weight, and the girl was such a good cook, and I wanted to ask the girl to come with me into the palace, and I only stayed in the Hades Temple for ten days, and after ten days, I would return to the border, and I would send someone to escort the girl away. As for curing my brother's illness, I think there is a mortal pool in the temple, and if it is only to heal the wounds on my brother's face, I will go to my brother to ask for a grace, which can be regarded as repaying the girl's kindness. ”
"In that case, then the grass people are here first, and thank the county lord for his kindness for his younger brother." I smiled slyly, bowed, and returned to my room with Qingxi.
Seeing the two sisters and brothers leaving, Sen Luo said a few words to her guards, and also went into the courtyard to rest.
After a while, the guard named Yan Feng and the maid brought two sets of clothes, saying that in order not to cause trouble, Sen Luo asked us to dress up as her attendants, and after three days, we entered the city with her.
