However, seeing that Luzhu didn't want to explain, he didn't ask much, and pointed to the outside of the courtyard: "Na, it was dried in the morning, and it's still there." See for yourself. ”

Lu Zhu didn't go out, but took two steps closer and showed a flattering smile: "Can I order it?" ”

Zhao Hu originally saw the eager appearance of Luzhu, who was never startled, and thought that something big had happened. At this time, he learned that as long as the red yeast rice, he was relieved and quipped: "Luzhu, if you wag your tail again, your brother Li may be soft-hearted, and he will give you all those red yeast rice." ”

"You're the dog!" Lu Zhu raised his eyebrows and glared at Zhao Hu. Then they all laughed.

Li Weizhu didn't smile, looked out of the door and muttered for a while, then said, "You can take some." Anyway, if you put it here, it's moldy. ”

After speaking, he went out to the sun, put the jar back, filled a bowl with a bowl for Luzhu, and asked, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough is enough." Lu Zhu nodded again and again, his eyes looking at the purple-red rice, full of anticipation. Just now, when talking about braised pork being "fat but not greasy", she finally remembered a story she had seen in her previous life somewhere.

In 1253 A.D., the Yuan army captured Yunnan and moved the administrative center from Dali to Kunming, and since then "Kunming" has officially been the political, economic and cultural center of the province. During the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, after the initial military plunder and suppression of the famous clans, it was gradually replaced by a policy of fixed taxation and improvement of ethnic relations, and many inland merchants and craftsmen also entered Kunming, forming a new generation of wealthy merchants in Kunming.

Right in the midst of these rich businessmen. There is a big family surnamed Li, and their family has an inn, and the signature dish is braised pork. Legend has it that the Li family braised pork. The color is attractive, the taste is excellent, and it is oily but not greasy. The most amazing thing is that their family members are healthy and slim, without any signs of obesity, and people who often see their family eating braised pork also find that their family's braised pork. No matter how much you eat, you won't get fat, and if you eat homemade, you will feel greasy and puzzled.

Until years later. The secret of the Li family's braised pork was revealed. The color is attractive, fat but not greasy, and it is often eaten without fat, just because the red pigment of the Li family's braised pork is red yeast rice. This is a story she has inadvertently seen. After seeing it at the time. I was still curious about red yeast rice, so I searched for it on Baidu, and I learned that this red yeast rice is made from indica, japonica rice, glutinous rice and other rice as raw materials, and fermented with monascus mold.

It is not only a food, a natural red pigment, but also a drug, with a very powerful cholesterol-lowering and hypolipidemic properties. The effect of lowering blood sugar can effectively treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke, as well as diabetes, kidney disease, fatty liver and other diseases.

But after watching it at the time. Since no one in the family had these symptoms, she forgot about them. If it weren't for Li Weizhu's drying of this red yeast rice, Qin Wei let her taste a bite of braised pork again, she didn't even think about it.

It seems that there is a destiny in the dark! This red yeast rice is simply an ingredient tailored for that nobleman.

After taking the bowl of red yeast rice, Lu Zhu found a stone scoop, pounded the rice into powder, and then went to Steward Zheng to get some pork belly, and began to practice braised pork made of red yeast rice.

Although rich people don't eat pork much, as a civilian food for the public, braised pork is still very marketable, so Ma Jiaoxi specially taught this dish.

Cut the pork into pieces after boiling water, put ginger and it together with it in the pot with oil to change color, then add cooking wine, soy sauce, rock sugar and other seasonings, pour water to boil, change to simmer for half an hour, then put red yeast powder, and finally collect thick juice.

Qin Wei is in a group with Luzhu, what is his level, Luzhu knows best. Sun Qiang used to make braised pork, and Luzhu also tasted it. The skills of these two people in making braised pork are no worse than her. Compared with the two of them, the braised pork with red yeast rice is more colorful, and most importantly, it is not greasy at all. But aside from this advantage, the taste is not much stronger than what they do.

Lu Zhu tasted the braised pork that he had roasted himself, and when he saw that it was still early, he went to close the door tightly and made a dish of Dongpo pork. This Dongpo meat is different from the general braised pork method, it does not use oil to fry the meat pieces, but the large pieces are cut into cubes after cooking, the bottom is padded with green onions and ginger, the meat is put on the skin side down, and then soy sauce, rock sugar and green onion knots are added, rice wine is poured over the meat pieces, covered and simmered in a sand pot for one or two hours, and then packed into a clay pot sealed on the steamer to steam thoroughly, and the original juice is condensed and poured on it. When the green bamboo is put in the rice wine, the red yeast rice powder is added.

This Dongpo pork is different from the general braised pork except for the firing process, and it is cooked directly with rice wine without a drop of water.

The meat is more crispy, the taste is more mellow, and it is not greasy.

"What should I do? Do you need a secret recipe? Lu Zhu looked at the two bowls of braised pork in front of him, his long eyelashes fluttering.

However, she didn't dwell on it for long, and on the morning of the next day, Steward Zheng came to the small kitchen: "Luzhu, Qin Wei, Sun Qiang, all come out." ”

Luzhu hurriedly opened the door and went out, but saw Steward Zheng pacing around the yard with an anxious face. Seeing them come out, he didn't care about saying anything, and said directly: "The time of the game has been changed to tonight." Hurry up and get ready, and go get the ingredients now. ”

"What? Didn't you say tomorrow? Sun Qiang said hurriedly. He hasn't cooked to his satisfaction.

Steward Zheng waved his hand impatiently: "Tell you to compare when you want, where is there so much nonsense!" After speaking, he turned around, "Hurry up and get the ingredients, move quickly." If you don't want to play, you can quit now. Lu Zhu and Qin Wei glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and followed behind Steward Zheng.

So far, how can there be no comparison? If you want to spend more time on development, you just want to keep improving. Sun Qiang didn't have the slightest idea of quitting the game, and when he saw Luzhu moving, he hurriedly followed Qin Wei and caught up.

The three of them received the ingredients, and began to cook in a hurry, so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, and when the sun was about to set, Steward Zheng went to the small kitchen to inform the serving. The three of them had their own complicated feelings, packed the dishes that had been carefully prepared for most of the day in the food box, and followed Steward Zheng to a side hall in the main courtyard with their hands in their hands.

"Lord, childe. The dish is coming. Steward Zheng stopped and bowed forward.

Lu Zhu glanced forward with his peripheral vision, but only saw Yu Jiaoxi and Ma Jiaoxi sitting in the hall. Although sitting. The two of them looked a little restless, and their faces were the same as Steward Zheng, and they also had a trace of anxiety.

"Could it be that the three nobles who taught the dishes were not satisfied and were scolded?" Green Bamboo thought to himself. Yu Guang unconsciously looked into the hall. Sure enough, as she guessed, since Fu Heng was doing that shady deed, that noble man had to prevent people from recognizing him. Naturally, it will not show its face in front of them. Not to mention the figure of the nobleman in this hall, Fu Heng and Tang Ning are nowhere to be seen.

Rather, next to the two teaching chairs, there was a wide beaded curtain. But it's bright outside. It was dark in the room, and the light in the room behind the beaded curtain was so obscured that nothing could be seen, and it was really impossible to see if anyone was sitting in it.

But. She hadn't stopped yet. A familiar voice was heard from inside, confirming her suspicions: "Put it on." "But it's Fu Heng.

Hearing this command, Sun Qiang subconsciously wanted to go inside and put the dishes on the table. But he was used to being a bear cowering behind him, and before he could subconsciously give the order to his limbs, his eyes glanced at the green bamboo. Seeing Luzhu standing there without moving, and Qin Wei saw that she was not moving, he was also motionless. I quickly stopped the steps I was about to take.

When I saw Lie Wei, Tang Wei, and Tang An coming out of it, they took the food box in their hands inside. Sun Qiang was secretly glad that he reacted quickly, and he also knew that he glanced at Luzhu and did not make reckless moves.

"Master, do you taste them one by one, or do you put them all together?" This question was the voice of the twenty-something servant of the distinguished guest.

"Put it all together." The voice of the distinguished guest rang out.

Immediately afterward, I heard the sound of dishes.

Yu Jiaoxi and Ma Jiaoxi sat next to the bead curtain, very close to the inside, and through the gap in the bead curtain, they could see the scene inside. When they saw that almost all of the food boxes taken out of Sun Qiang and Qin Wei were meat, they glanced at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile.

Usually, the son is not by the old marquis's side, and the whip is out of reach, and he can't care about what food the old marquis eats. This old marquis came to the villa, even if he threw himself into the net, how could there be a reason not to be controlled by the doctor Gongzi?

Therefore, since the old marquis came to the villa, after these three or four meals, the three chefs, plus Zhao Hu and Li Weizhu, have done their best to make some vegetarian dishes and let the old marquis eat some food that is beneficial to his health. Who knew that the old marquis refused to eat at all, he was furious, and he was reluctant to scold his son and cousin, so he took them out. In the past two days, they have been scolded miserably, and they have almost not been scolded by the rod. But Childe refused to budge at all. The old marquis couldn't do it, although he ate those vegetarian dishes, but he said that he suddenly remembered that there was something at home, and he wanted to go back in a hurry, so that the three apprentices could hurry up and compete, so that he could go back to Yanzhou City.

Shicai stayed here for two days, and his body had not yet recovered, so he said that he wanted to leave, where would the son be willing? I had to let the three apprentices cook the dishes first, which was regarded as a delaying tactic.

But now, he couldn't stand the tricks of the old marquis that day, and said that he liked to eat meat. These apprentices were so eager to win that they all made meat.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Miss, where's the little flower? Won't it follow you? Why don't you fall down the hill and let Xiaohua come back and report the news? How could you be trapped under a hillside? Fu Lu asked.

"It was still on the hillside when I fell down the hill, and then I don't know where it went. Didn't it come home? Did you go around looking for me somewhere else? Rong Yunhe originally wanted to release Xiaohua on the road, but Fu Heng kept guarding her and had no chance. This time, I had to run the train with my mouth full and make up nonsense.

Xiaohua is very psychic, so she is very happy with her family, and when she heard that Xiaohua was gone, Mother Lu and Rong Huihe sighed.

The next day was Rong Yunhe's most depressed day. Since she came to Da Chen, she has been busy and has a lot of things to do. This time I was forced to stay in bed, and it was really boring. In fact, practicing in the space is also a good way to pass the time, but because of Rong Yunhe's accident this time, Lu's mother was nervous about her, and in addition to cooking, she guarded her with embroidery and never left. Rong Yunhe understood her feelings, and knew that even if she found an excuse to break her up, she would be restless in her room, so she was guarded by her, and she really couldn't bear to drive her away.

There was really no way, Rong Yunhe had to learn embroidery from Lu's mother to pass the time. Fortunately, the original Rong Yunhe has some foundation for embroidery, and it is not difficult to get started. After studying for a while, Rong Yunhe became interested. She finally knew why ancient women were so demure, and it was all a state of mind honed in a stitch and thread.

"Click, click......" A sound of horses' hooves came from far and near. Rong Yunhe raised his eyes and looked at the shadow of the sun outside the window, but it was noon, and it seemed that someone had just finished practicing in the barracks and went straight here.

"I guess Su Gongzi is here, I'll take a look." Mother Lu smiled at Rong Yunhe and walked out.

Rong Yunhe pursed his lips and didn't speak, but when he got a needle in his hand, it was in the wrong direction. She didn't have the heart to put the needle back, threw the embroidery away, and raised her eyes to look out the door.

In the bright sunshine of May, a tall figure appeared at the door, and the wind and frost brought back from the border pass had long disappeared under the nourishment of the green mountains and green waters of Pingzhou City. A pair of big eyes under the thick eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, angular lips, and wheat-colored skin make this handsome face look particularly resolute.

Fu Heng had obviously just come out of the barracks, and the waist and sleeves he was wearing were dressed in a gray-blue power suit, which made him look more heroic and less majestic than the usual robes.

"Are you feeling better?" This greeting woke Rong Yunhe up.

Facing the pair of concerned eyes, Rong Yunhe nodded a little embarrassedly. For the first time, she would be stunned by a man's appearance, which was so unlike herself.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Okay."

"Look what I've brought you." Fu Heng raised the burden in his hand.

"What is it?" Rong Yunhe was in high spirits.

Fu Heng opened the burden and handed over a food box inside: "You can taste the pastries of Wuwei Zhai." ”

"Ah, that's great." Rong Yunhe took it, opened the food box and looked at it, and couldn't help cheering. After being here for so long, I was worried about food and clothing, and Rong Yunhe, the pastries and snacks in Pingzhou City, had never tasted it.

In addition to water chestnut cakes, mung bean cakes and other colorful pastries, there are also some snacks such as sugar crisp and plums. (To be continued.) )
