Chapter 46: Purple Sweet Potato Sesame Cake (Part II)
Liu Yiyi thought about it all night and didn't come up with any good way, the next morning she freshened up with two dark circles under her eyes, and then prepared to go to the small kitchen to make breakfast.
"Miss, the master said that if you get up, you will go directly to the dining room, he has rare snacks waiting for you." Lotus laughed as she spoke.
A rare snack? As a chef who loves her profession, Liu Yiyi has a great interest in all kinds of food, and when she heard that Master Liu, who can eat and eat, called it rare, her steps downstairs were a few points faster than usual.
"Yiyi is here......" As soon as he saw his daughter come in, Master Liu ordered that he should be brought up early.
Two bowls of hot japonica rice porridge, a plate of cut salted eggs, a plate of side dishes mixed with sesame oil, a drawer of xiaolongbao, a small pot of fried dough sticks, and another drawer of food made Liu Yiyi surprised: "Purple potato? ”
It's been half a year since I came to Mengzhou City, and it's not uncommon to see a roasted sweet potato stove in the market, but today I saw a purple one, which is the same as a modern appearance, but the size of an egg.
"Yiyi knows purple potato?" Master Liu was surprised first and then suddenly he was surprised, "Is it what your master once told you?" ”
"My master?" Does she, or "Liu Yiyi", have a master?
"Your master has been traveling abroad for almost two years, and this time I came back so soon because I heard that something happened to you, your master is very good to you, and the monks are logically empty, but she always values you as a lay disciple, of course, you are also competitive, you don't like to read or chant scriptures since you were a child, but you will watch the martial arts taught by your master." Master Liu said while eating.
Liu Yiyi can't have a good appetite, "her master" identity is a monk, this is nothing scary, the key is that this is to teach "Liu Yiyi" to practice martial arts, and the relationship between master and apprentice is very good, in case she meets with the master, the master wants to test her martial arts, can she take a kitchen knife if she can't dance a sword?
"After breakfast, you will go to the small kitchen and make a snack for your master's hand, so that she can see that my family Yiyi is also a little lady." Master Liu didn't see that Liu Yiyi was flustered, and gave her a steamed small purple potato.
"Daddy, when did Master give you this purple potato? Did she come to Liu's house? Liu Yiyi asked tentatively.
"If she wants to come to Liu's house, can she come to see you? This is sent by the little master in their nunnery at dusk yesterday, your master only came back yesterday, you should still remember your master's habits, every time she comes back from a wandering, she will bathe and change her clothes and chant in front of the Bodhisattva statue for a day and a night, so as to purify your mind and realize the Dharma, so I think it is better for you to go to see her. "Master Liu has a good appetite this morning, and after a while, he ate half a drawer of xiaolongbaozi, half a pot of fried dough sticks, and half a drawer of steamed purple potatoes.
"Your master sent a big basket of purple potatoes, this is a specialty of Qizhou City, and there is no other place," so Master Liu didn't eat alone and left half of it for his daughter, "I heard that she went over there to travel and specially asked her to bring it, and it's hard for her to remember it for so long." ”
The geographical location of Qizhou in this time and space is also south, a little south than Mengzhou, Liu Yiyi knows from reading the book, "Daddy, is this purple potato just steamed and eaten?" ”
"You can also make porridge with rice, you can also bake, how to eat sweet potatoes how to eat it, but purple potatoes are smaller and more cute than sweet potatoes, and more sweet and sweet, more than ten years ago Wang Yuanwai came back from Qizhou and invited me to eat once, at that time there were a few people in Mengzhou who saw purple potatoes, I felt that it was a business opportunity, if you can plant in Mengzhou will be able to make a lot of money, and then inquire carefully, because natural purple is rare, purple potatoes are regarded as a treasure given by God in Qizhou, and have always picked the best as a tribute to the capital, The next best ones must be bought by the powerful, and the potato seedlings are under the jurisdiction of a special person, and they are not allowed to leave Qizhou City. ”
Master Liu complained in one breath, this is the so-called money, and he may not be able to eat.
A small potato, just a purple one, has something to do with imperial power...... Liu Yiyi once again felt that she was really living in ancient times, "Fortunately, don't you have a basket of purple potatoes at home now, and my daughter has changed the way to make delicious food for you, how about it?" "Purple potatoes are so rare here, it is estimated that not many people are willing to change their tricks to test how to eat.
Master Liu's eyes lit up: "There are other ways to eat purple potatoes, what do you have to say!" No, no, no! Or don't say it, I'll taste everything you make, save your father's worry about sleeping badly, don't worry about the purple potatoes are not enough, as long as it's delicious, my father will ask someone to buy it. ”
"Yes." Liu Yiyi said with a smile, her father is also very cute.
"By the way, make a few purple potato snacks for your master, as long as she likes it, we won't worry about the way to buy purple potatoes." Master Liu added.
"Yes." Liu Yiyi responded with a smile.
But when she got out of the dining room, Liu Yiyi couldn't laugh, the rumors had not been resolved, and another master appeared out of thin air, the monk who lived in the nunnery must be a woman, she couldn't even use the difference between men and women to distance herself, would this master see the difference between her and the original owner? Those who believe in Buddhism will not think of taking it away?
"Miss, please."
Liu Yiyi just entered the small kitchen, the lotus flower neatly stabbed the stove fire, and the osmanthus brought a small basket of cleaned purple potatoes from the big kitchen, and she only had to roll up her sleeves and do it.
This pair of twin Yahuan is indeed more diligent and capable than Ying'er, but if Ying'er is here, she should be able to do a lot of things related to the master, but it's a pity that she promised Master Liu to send Ying'er away, embarrassed to come back, and Ying'er actually ruined her reputation in order to shirk responsibility, who would dare to be by her side?
Don't worry about it for now, take a step at a time, anyway, her body is indeed the daughter of the Liu family, and if that master has the ability to see the difference in souls, then can you let them go back to you, so that she can return to her modern home.
To comfort himself optimistically, Liu Yiyi peeled the purple potato, the lotus was taking care of the stove fire, and the osmanthus helped to cut a piece, and after a while, it was cut and five were steamed in the cage drawer, and then pounded into purple potato puree with a spoon while it was hot, added a little flour and honey and mixed evenly, and then dug out a piece and kneaded it into a ball and then flattened it, sprinkled with fried sesame seeds on both sides, poured oil into the pot, and fried it.
"Purple potato sesame cake, try a piece and see." Liu Yiyi gave a piece of his own, and gave a piece of lotus osmanthus to the cook.
As soon as I heard that it was a tasting, the lotus osmanthus thanked him and took the plate and ate it in small bites.
The taste is similar to what she made in her previous life, a little softer and sweeter, which may be related to the fact that the purple potatoes here are pure and natural, Liu Yiyi instructed the osmanthus: "Send a plate to the master to taste, and ask him if I can send this to the master?" ”
Osmanthus went out with the food box in response, and Liu Yiyi continued to fry purple potato sesame cakes, only to fry two osmanthus flowers and came back empty-handed, Fu Shen said: "The master praised Miss's cooking skills, and said that it was an excellent gift to give the water moon master." ”
"Got it." Liu Yiyi is still confident in her cooking skills, and this time there is an unexpected harvest from sending osmanthus to send purple potato sesame cakes, she knows that her master is called Shuiyue Shitai.
Fry the purple potato sesame cake and put it in the food box, the food box in this time and space is quite high-end, and the bottom sits with fine charcoal, which can ensure the temperature of the food on it.
The master who has never met lives in Lingzhu Nunnery, and Master Liu specially ordered a sedan chair to be prepared, Liu Yiyi sat in the sedan chair and was carried out by the sedan chair man from the small door in the backyard, and the lotus and osmanthus were accompanied by one on one side.
Is this hiding from people, Liu Yiyi was scared when she thought of the rumors outside, she didn't go to college and went to vocational school in her previous life, and the neighbors pointed at her when they saw her, but in the vocational school, she fully showed her talent for cooking, and began to earn money when she went to school, because she was confident in the future, she was not afraid of gossip behind people's backs.
But now in ancient times, it is the reputation that women care about the most, Liu Yiyi sat in the sedan chair and didn't dare to lift a small crack to look outside, for fear that people would find her, would she be pulled out of the sedan chair and beaten to death on the street? She didn't have any confidence in her thoughts.
"Miss, Lingzhuan has arrived."
Fortunately, the sedan chair stopped after walking for less than half an hour, and the lotus lifted the sedan curtain and told her.
Liu Yiyi was glad to be in winter, she put on the hat on the cloak, and deliberately pressed down before getting off the sedan chair, only to find that the sedan chair was not at the gate of the nunnery but the courtyard inside, and the direction of her sedan chair was facing a small door.
"The master ordered, saying that the water moon master was too quiet to let the maids and the young lady go in together, so the maidservants are waiting here." Osmanthus said respectfully.
It's okay not to go, if she says something wrong, Master Liu won't know right away, Liu Yiyi nodded: "I don't know how long it will take to talk when I go to see Master, it's so cold outside, don't freeze here, find a room to rest for a while, and I'll call you when I come out later." ”
"The slave waits for the young lady to do her duty, how can she be lazy and hide." The lotus osmanthus said in unison.
This is probably the real ancient Yahuan, thinking of Ying'er's previous experience, Liu Yiyi didn't insist, only told herself to remember to come out early.
Pushing open the courtyard door, it was not the house she imagined, but a small path connected to a dense bamboo forest, and the master would not wait for her in the forest, right? Liu Yiyi had no choice but to go inside alone.
Lingzhu Nunnery, in Liu Yiyi's Mengzhou City local chronicles but only a few words of simple introduction, in the city's large and small temples are not well known, just because the nunnery is full of green bamboos inside and out, surprisingly green as if there is spirituality and get the name, so don't look at the incense on weekdays is not prosperous, but as long as the lady who rushed to Lingzhu to come, the sesame oil money has always been generous, so this nunnery is still very rich.
Liu Yiyi didn't have the heart to appreciate the spiritual bamboo at this time, she walked to the bamboo forest nervously with the food box, and after only a few steps, someone walked out from the forest, she almost blurted out nervously: "Master......"
The reason why she didn't shout was because there were two people, a young man and a woman, and she knew them, Yue Linfeng and Mu Qingyin.
