It's just past noon, and the Diancui courtyard is already lively.

Zhen glanced at the sky helplessly, and made sure that he was not mistaken, and it was only an hour after noon, and there were still more than two hours before the dinner! I looked at the cousin girl who rolled up her sleeves and kept turning the roast whole sheep, she was very beautiful and full of vitality, which made people infinitely infected with her joyful atmosphere. The shape of the whole sheep is reflected in the blue eyes of Xizizi, and occasionally he holds a brush and dips his own seasoning, brushing all kinds of brushes on the sheep!

I felt that the corners of my mouth were a little raised, so I quickly calmed down my mentality, recovered my speechless appearance, and said that I would roast the whole sheep at night?

Huan'er ran around diligently, bringing a small bowl of water to the princess for a while, and extinguishing a little too majestic fire. Add a stick of firewood for a while, and let the almost extinguished fire continue to burn for a while.

Zhai was in the kitchen, leading the little girls who were waiting in Cuiyuan to cook the haggis that had been washed a long time ago. In the morning, I used a sheep's head to boil a pot of thick base soup with the big bones of the sheep, and then I added some bone broth to the half-cooked haggis that had been boiled in blood, and boiled it again.

The mother-in-law who was waiting in Diancui Courtyard rarely didn't give Qiong'er a blank eye, and smiled in the courtyard, placing a few tables with each other, mixing dipping sauces, and placing dishes and dishes.

If you want to say that Qiong'er is generous enough, I ordered the mutton to be ready for a while, and ordered the people of Cuiyuan to eat together. In the morning, I saw how complicated this mutton pickled was, but I didn't expect that this northwest person eating a barbecue was not as rumored, Ru Mao drank blood! The people who served in the yard had a little confidence in the roasting sheep technique, who wouldn't want to participate in such a good thing as being able to eat tender mutton for nothing?

When the smell of fragrant mutton soup wafted from the kitchen, the mutton in the yard was almost roasted.

Qiong'er beckoned, let everyone hurry over and taste this first layer of roast mutton.

took out a dagger with gems from his arms, and sliced a small plate of mutton to Zhen with neat movements, "Master Zhen taste, our roasted whole sheep in the northwest, this first layer is the most delicious, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is enough!" ”

Looking at the smiling hibiscus face, although Zhen couldn't understand Qiong'er's words, she realized the enthusiasm of this simple northwest girl, and the faint alienation that came yesterday has changed a little at this moment.

"Thank you, princess!" With a slight smile, he took it and took a small piece of meat with chopsticks, this piece of meat is excellent, thin and small, a slice just fits into the mouth, not big or small. Zhen can see that the cousin must have done it often to have such knife work.

The melt-in-your-mouth lamb slices have a hint of honey sweetness, a bit of herb fragrance, and the taste is really good!

Indifferent eyes flashed a little surprised, but I really didn't expect it to be so delicious, Zhen did not hesitate to praise, "The princess is a good craft!" ”

Qiong'er was very happy to be appreciated, and quickly slipped a small plate for Huan'er, who was waiting on the side, with saliva, "Eat quickly!" ”

Huan'er saluted Qiong'er decently, "Thank you, princess!" Then he came to Zhai's side first with a plate, "Mother, eat meat!" ”

Zhai nodded his daughter's nose and said affectionately, "Huan'er, you can eat!" ”

Huan'er happily took the plate to the steps and sat down, grabbed the meat slices with her little hands and put them in her mouth, the sweet and delicious food made her satisfied eyes narrow, leaving only her small mouth to squirm and chew carefully.

Qiong'er looked at Huan'er's appearance, remembering the first time she ate the braised pork sent by her brother Kuroko when she was a child, when she was still a child and hid in the mountains with her injured grandmother, and at the beginning she lived on the wild vegetables picked up by her grandmother. The taste of the meat, the aftertaste in the mouth, has made her for many years, and she has never forgotten it.

Turned around and smiled and personally operated the knife, and slice a plate of roast mutton on the first layer for all the people in the yard, and more than a dozen mothers-in-law and maids who were waiting up and down the yard all happily thanked the princess, took the roast mutton and ate it.

After eating the first layer of honey-roasted mutton, the meat inside the sheep was slightly undercooked, and Qiong'er knew that the people of the Moon Dynasty did not eat blood-colored meat, so they did not force them. Let Zhai take the little girls to the yard with a big pot of haggis soup and serve it by themselves.

This haggis soup, because the haggis is washed clean, the smell of blood has been repeatedly scalded with hot water, and it is boiled with the sheep's head big bone broth that has been boiled all morning, and some small green onions and chopped coriander are put in, and the taste is very delicious. However, the secret is that a few drops of vinegar secretly ordered by Zhai can be fishy.

Of course, Qiong'er likes spicy food, so he asked Zhai Shi to get himself some chili seeds to fry in oil, and poured a big spoonful on the haggis, so he ate it ha.

……

"Old lady, Master Zhen is here!" Mama Yun was followed by a beautiful woman, carrying a food box and walked in, it was Qiong'er's master, Zhen.

"Aunt Ann!" Zhen used to be everyone's lady, and she was quite accurate in her grasp of etiquette, and she was very eye-catching when she saluted.

Xiao Shi stretched out his hand and pulled up his niece, "Why did you come here so late?" "It's only been more than a day, why did you come back, could it be that the girl is abnormal? raised his head and motioned for Mama Yun to go out and guard, don't let people approach.

Zhen came to the Nanmu table where the Eight Immortals celebrated their birthday, opened the food box he brought, and brought out a bowl of soup and a small plate of sliced meat, "Auntie, try it, this is said to be a famous roasted whole sheep in the northwest, as well as haggis soup!" ”

Xiao raised an eyebrow, oh? I took the chopsticks and picked up a slice of mutton, which was only the size of a bite, and cut it very thinly.

The familiar smell filled his mouth, and he nodded, "It tastes good!" ”

Zhen sent a palm-sized bowl of haggis soup and a spoon, "Auntie, be careful, it's a little hot!" ”

Xiao Shi looked at the milky white soup bowl with green green onions and chopped coriander, and the aroma wafted out, but he wanted to taste it.

There were only two or three mouthfuls of soup bowls, and Xiao wiped his mouth after eating, "It's a pity, there is no good chili oil, and the sheep soup eaten in the northwest is full of red oil!" ”

Zhen smiled faintly, "Aunt really has insight, there is indeed freshly fried red oil in Diancui Courtyard, but it is not easy to eat at night with such a fierce compatibility, so I didn't bring it here!" ”

Xiao Shi knew that Zhen was considerate, and he did not lose his care for her over the years, "Good boy, aunt knows your kindness!" Glancing at the food box, he paused and asked, "This girl made this?" ”

Zhen finally said today's purpose, "I tried it a few times when that girl was not careful, she really can't speak the words of the Yue Dynasty, and her words" endured and didn't laugh out loud, "It seems that she hasn't learned to write since she was a child, the brush is stiff, the force is uneven, and the pen is twisted and crooked, but it's not pretended!" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Shi frowned, and his eyes fell on the soup bowl again, "I followed my father to conquer the northwest back then, and I am most familiar with the roasted whole sheep and this sheep soup over there, and this craft is definitely true in the noble family!" Just those special herbs can mention the fragrance of mutton, and even we don't know the recipe! ”

"My aunt is right, in the morning, I watched the princess command the Zhai family to do it, just kneading the mutton with herbs, it was enough for an hour, and I also used honey wax to cover the sheep rack and dry it in the shade for a morning. During the barbecue in the afternoon, the princess also took a new brush and dipped it in an unknown seasoning, and kept brushing the mutton. When the princess gave me a piece of meat, she also said that this first layer of meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is the sweetest! ”

Thinking of the energetic girl's appearance, the corners of Zhen's mouth unconsciously smiled, "After the inner layer of mutton was cooked, she gave us a lot of dipping sauces, without the sweetness of the first layer, and the meat below was stained with salty and spicy sauce, which actually had a different taste!"

Later, the princess also said that she could leave the soup to boil, boil the thick soup all night, and get up in the morning to make steamed buns and eat it! ”

Xiao Shi saw his niece, who was usually indifferent, and he had a smile in his eyes, and he was surprised. Since the change of his family, this child was taken to the Yueguo Mansion by himself, and his heart has thousands of knots, but his face has never been revealed, but he has never smiled again. That girl is a powerful girl, and in just one day, she resolved the knot in her niece's heart?

"The nobles of Loulan in the northwest are actually quite particular about eating, only these officials of the Yue Dynasty who don't know how to appreciate the turn of the circle, and they pass on their families like uncivilized wild people who drink blood!"

Xiao's comment is very pertinent, she has experienced the northwest land, and the people and life there are not at all imagined by these people in the capital. The women there are as seductive but cheerful as the clear sky, and the men there are also handsome and more majestic and responsible.

Zhen thought about the lively princess, the little white teeth with a pink smile were shining, not delicate and pretentious at all, and nodded in agreement, "What my aunt said is true!" Suddenly remembered his female red class today, and took out a white-background Juanpa from his arms, "Auntie, look at this embroidery!" ”
