Chapter 297: Carving Radish Listens to the News
This man! Mu Jinrou couldn't smile bitterly, could she not listen?
The answer is no! Xia Houtian's main purpose here was to borrow the kitchen knife and send the news to Li Yi through Mu Jinrou's mouth.
Mu Jinrou knew this after a little thought, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "This person's mind is really turning a thousand times, does he need to go around such a big circle?" He also pulled himself into the water, what kind of heart is it? ”
Xia Houtian didn't care about her reaction, and said bluntly: "This knife was made by my knife master over there for more than half a month, and in his words, this knife represents his skill." Little girl, this can't be bought with money, you have to show it. ”
"Okay." Mu Jinrou grinned and looked at the kitchen knife to herself.
There are six kitchen knives in total, except for a commonly used kitchen knife style, the other shapes and sizes are different, such as machetes used to cut hard bones, as well as small carving knives, each of which is extremely sharp, light or heavy, just right to start. And a rose-like pattern was printed on each knife, Mu Jinrou really loved it.
"The master of this knife is a woman?" Mu Jinrou asked.
Xia Houtian frowned slightly, "Why do you say that?" ”
"This, this!" Mu Jinrou pointed to the rose pattern and said, "You say that a man would use this kind of pattern as a logo?" ”
Xia Houtian smiled, "Little girl, is this called judging people by their appearance or by their pictures?" ”
Mu Jinrou pursed her lips and stopped talking, she knew that she had guessed wrong, there was a man who liked roses in this world, it was really rare, or a knife master, what is this called? Live like a big man with an embroidery needle.
"The master who made this knife is named Bai Yutang, what kind of person does the little girl think he is?" Xia Houtian raised his eyebrows and asked, his eyes full of playfulness.
"Huh! Good name. Mu Jinrou really can't complain about this name, you will know who he is when he hears his name, this person must be as coquettish as the legendary brocade mouse, or not to provoke it.
She immediately changed the subject, "No, what did you eat this morning?" I'm going to make you a specialty. ”
"Roast duck! A whole one. You're not hungry yet, you can take your time! ”
Mu Jinrou frowned, "You eat roast duck early in the morning?" Don't be afraid to get tired! ”
Xia Houtian laughed and said: "I love meat the most, and I don't like meat without it." ”
Mu Jinrou said solemnly: "This is a bad problem. I'm going to change it later. Otherwise, when you get older, you will get those diseases of wealth and wealth, and you may eventually burst your blood vessels and die! ”
"What is this?" Xia Houtian didn't understand these terms.
Mu Jinrou waved her small hand and tied the leather bag containing the knife to her waist, without explaining this term. only said: "Remember, people should eat half a catty of vegetables a day and eat less meat, so that they can live long." The roast duck you ate this morning, then I'll make you a vegetarian dish, the main ingredient is radish! Guaranteed to look good and tasty. ”
Xia Houtian spread his hands and said: "What the little girl does, I will eat." ”
Mu Jinrou asked for all kinds of radishes stored in the store, picked a few good ones, and asked Qingzhu to bring the sour and hot radishes she had pickled earlier. Then you need good pearl rice, chicken, shiitake mushrooms and green onions, and a piece of soft tofu.
Let Xuezhu go to the rice first. She chose two colors of carrots, one yellow and the other purple, carved into the shape of plum blossoms, and quickly cut them with a kitchen knife, then diced the chicken and shiitake mushrooms.
I quickly stir-fried it in order with salt from the small charcoal stove here, and just as the snow bamboo was ready, the rice was also ready. Mu Jinrou mixed these two things well, let the snow bamboo take it out, put a little water and start simmering.
She made a soup with the remaining shiitake mushrooms, green onions, and tender tofu, on the charcoal stove behind the bar in the lounge, and anyway, just the two of them ate it, a small pot was enough, and the rest was time to show off her knife skills.
Mu Jinrou glanced at Zizhu and Qingzhu, who were still stealing teachers. Then he coughed and said, "Lotus stays, you two go out to help Xuezhu." Remember to close the door! ”
The two of them were also interested, and they did so without asking anything.
Mu Jinrou looked at the lotus flower that was still frowning, and said to Xia Houtian: "You can't be stupid." What's so nice about cooking? Tell me your story, I haven't heard it for a long time. ”
Xia Houtian smiled slightly, this girl is really smart, and said, "It's not easy to listen to the story, you listen." ”
Mu Jinrou picked up the green radish and the white radish and carved the flowers, but her ears were erected.
"Concubine De has been left out in the cold for a few months. That one couldn't sit still, he had already left after the year, and now he was in the capital, and he was afraid that something would happen again. ”
Mu Jinrou frowned slightly, who is that person who is this?
I only heard Xia Houtian continue: "King Zheng has not returned to Beijing for many years, I want to go to King Qin's Mansion to sit down, after all, it is the former King Zheng's Mansion." For the sake of this beautiful palace, King Zheng did not waste any thought when he was young, but who knew that later he made a wedding dress for others, and even the palace was renamed. ”
Mu Jinrou's movements in her hands did not stop, and she quickly lined up a bright fan shape in the large white porcelain plate with pieces of pickled radishes under the slices. Xin said: "It turned out to be King Zheng, isn't King Fan not allowed to leave the fiefdom without being summoned, and he can't rebel?" I don't know if Concubine De will get up again. ”
Xia Houtian looked at Mu Jinrou and asked, "Aren't you curious?" ”
Mu Jinrou said: "Am I not listening, and then what?" ”
"Then, it depends on how well the one on the dragon seat is prepared, if it is good, King Hong and King Zheng will be cut off after all, and maybe they will be beheaded. On the contrary, many people will be unlucky! ”
Xia Houtian stopped talking about these things and asked, "What are you doing?" It's food, not painting. ”
Mu Jinrou didn't raise her head and said, "Why can't you paint?" Eating is called food in the painting. And then what? ”
"No then." Xia Houtian said with a smile: "I really want to change my name to Zhen Wuwu, but I don't have a collaborator." ”
The movement in Mu Jinrou's hand paused, what does this person mean? raised his head and glanced at Xia Houtian seriously, "Can you believe what you say?" ”
Xia Houtian asked rhetorically: "When did I lie to you?" ”
"When are you not lying to me?" Mu Jinrou glanced at him, and lowered her head again to carve her radish.
Soon a green rose came out, and a few green cabbage leaves that had been watered were placed on the plate, and when they were cut, they became rose leaves. And carved two small flowers with carrots of two colors, and the same cabbage leaves as leaves, and a platter was made.
Mu Jinrou glanced at the lotus flower who also had an embarrassed expression and said, "You go and see if Xuezhu's rice is steamed, I'm hungry." ”
She made a lot of this meal, and everyone could eat a bowl at lunch. Taking advantage of this, she slice some pickled radishes for herself, and finally put some homemade hot sauce on the plate of the two, which was appetizing.
It didn't take long for the rice to be served, and Mu Jinrou's tofu soup was ready. I personally deducted a bowl of radish rice and put it on the plate of Xia Houtian, and then made a slight shape.
Xia Houtian looked at the food in front of him, to be honest, it looked so beautiful, but it was made with the simplest ingredients, but it was fragrant, he had never eaten such food, and he actually used a fork as chopsticks, so strange!
"Taste it!" Mu Jinrou sat opposite him, took a bite of himself, and then narrowed his eyes, "Well, it's delicious." ”
In fact, this is also a kind of Chinese-style fast food, which Xia Houtian, who grew up in the palace, has never eaten. The meal was a great experience for both parties, simple and delicious.
Finally sent Xia Houtian away, Mu Jinrou took Lotus's hand and said, "Lotus, did you hear what you said just now?" You will tell Li Yi in a while, let him judge for himself whether it is true or not. (To be continued.) )
