Chapter 264: Eel Noodles
There are people over there who are secretly calculating the marriage between the Duke of Lu and the Zhao Mansion, or the title of the Duke of Lu, but Huiya is completely unaware. Since she knew that she had a marriage contract, and the person who was married was still Qian Jingchen in her previous life, Huiya felt that something was wrong with her whole body.
"Ya'er, come, try this eel noodles to taste." It was lunchtime, and Zheng smiled and gave Hui Yabu food. Huiya has been engaged, or booked to the only grandson of the Lu State Mansion, there is no need to worry about the future, seeing that Huiya's body is getting better day by day, and now she can get out of bed and walk around and eat normally, not to mention how happy Zheng's heart is.
"Okay." Huiya nodded, reached out and took the palm-sized bowl, looked at the crystal white noodles inside, took a deep breath, although she smelled a faint fishy smell, she still slowly picked the noodles with chopsticks to eat.
"How?" With an expectant expression, Zheng opened his mouth and asked Hui Ya, this eel noodles are not a dish in the Zhao Mansion, and it is not even a common food in the capital, it is a practice passed from Jinling. Zheng heard Mrs. Zhao, who went out to attend the banquet, mention it, and felt that this noodle might be able to match Huiya's appetite, so she asked the people in the kitchen to make it and prepare it for Huiya to eat.
"Well, it's smoother than the noodles you eat on weekdays, and it's very fragrant, but it tastes good. It's just a little fishy, when I'm free, go to the kitchen and see if I can improve it. Huiya ate this eel noodle and felt that this noodle seemed to be better than the noodles made from the pure noodles she usually ate, but Huiya's taste was very sensitive, and others couldn't feel the slight difference, so that Huiya ate this noodle a little fishy as soon as she ate it.
Rao was a little fishy, but this eel noodles were more to Huiya's appetite than the other things she usually ate, and after a while, a small bowl of noodles with the size of her palm was eaten.
Seeing that Huiya can eat, and it is said that she has not had nightmares when she sleeps recently, Zheng is very relieved for Huiya. Hui Ya was very interested in this eel noodles, and after eating, she changed her clothes in Zheng's house. Just drill into the kitchen.
Zheng looked at Hui Ya's lively appearance, and it was too late to be happy in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't stop her, and looked at Hui Ya's back happily going to the kitchen. Zheng's heart turned twice, and he felt that this was not bad.
The Zhao family is far from the Duke of Lu's mansion, even if Huiya marries into the Duke of Lu, it is almost impossible to rely on the power of her mother's family to support the scene. Even if he relied on his relationship with the Dingguo Mansion and his life-saving grace to Qian Jingchen, he couldn't compare with Qian Jingchen's identity.
Because of this, Zheng was afraid that Hui Ya would be bullied after marrying, and when Hui Ya was sick in bed a while ago, Zheng not only racked his brains to make up for Hui Ya's body, but also thought for a long time about how Hui Ya would settle down in the Lu State Mansion.
Later, Zheng still learned from the conversation with Zhao Erye that Nalu Guogong was a food-lover. If Huiya can be allowed to do what she likes in this regard, maybe she can find a strong backer in the Lu State Mansion.
It was because of this idea that Zheng began to collect special delicacies from all over the world, and this eel noodles is one of them. Zheng's heart is very simple, Hui Ya still has three years to live, in addition to keeping the rules and everything, a few more specialties are also an advantage for Hui Ya, and a good meal can naturally win a little favor from her husband's family.
Huiya didn't know that her mother had thought of such a far-reaching thing, so she changed her clothes and went to the kitchen in a hurry, but she thought that the eel noodles were very delicious. It would be even better if I could get rid of the fishy smell.
When I got to the kitchen, I put on Huiya's special apron, and the lady who had my own kitchen manager came forward to answer Huiya. Hui Ya is also used to drilling into the kitchen of this Moxiang Garden. Between the questions and answers, the lady in charge knew that Huiya was here for the eel noodles.
"Miss, this eel noodle is made by removing the bones of fresh eel and beating it into a meat puree, and then mixing it with the top. This method is a small method that took a long time to try, and it is much better than the noodles made by ordinary methods. The cook, who had made the eel noodles, took two steps forward and spoke back to Huiya. In the words, he was quite complacent that he could make such delicious eel noodles.
"Is it raw fish that makes noodles?" Huiya listened to this, while asking questions and answers with the cook, she motioned to the housekeeper to kill two more eels and come out, watching the cook peel and debone one of the eels with a knife and chop it into a meat puree, and there was still a little mucous membrane left on the meat close to the skin and belly of the fish, Huiya's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"Don't take off the bones of the other first, just add green onions and ginger and put them in a large pot to steam." Hui Ya felt that the fishy smell of this eel noodles was because of the mucous membranes on the skin and belly of the fish, so she opened her mouth and commanded.
Here the cook is busy making noodles, and over there the eel is steamed in a quarter of an hour. Hui Ya personally took out the steamed eel meat, the part that does not stick to the skin or the belly, and dismantled the delicate fish meat and mixed it with flour, without using a knife, it directly becomes a uniform dough.
After that, the noodles made by the two methods were put into the pot, and then the eel noodles were served, and the taste made by the old method was still the same with some fishy smell, but Huiya's method made only had a fresh fragrance and no fishy smell.
"Let's do it this way in the future." Huiya tasted the eel noodles she made, felt that the taste was more delicious, and saw that it was time to eat dim sum in the next morning, so she simply asked the cook to serve it in a bowl, and sent it to the main room to eat it with her mother as a snack.
The noodles are so white that they are almost transparent, and they are still steaming and exuding bursts of fragrance, and the bright noodle soup is sprinkled with a few green chive foams, but there is nothing in the palm-sized bowl, but it is so fragrant that people can't help but suck their mouths.
"This is the eel noodles you made? It's even better than what the chef does at noon! Zheng's stomach was not hungry, but when he saw the noodles served by Huiya, the clear soup was low but delicious and abnormal, and he couldn't help but feel a little hungry. I took the chopsticks and took a bite, and the tendons and teeth did not have the faint fishy smell, so it was naturally more delicious.
The mother and daughter were eating eel noodles, and when they were talking happily, someone from the second door outside sent a post in, saying that the Duchess of Lu Guo had sent an invitation to invite the female dependents of the Zhao Mansion to go to the Lu Guogong Mansion to enjoy the flowers.
"It's late autumn, but it's not winter yet, the chrysanthemums have already bloomed, but the plum blossoms are still not blooming, but what flowers do you want to enjoy?" Zheng pinched the post in his hand and did not expand it, although he knew that although the theme of this flower appreciation banquet was flowers, it was actually not for flowers at all, but if there were no flowers at all, it would be a joke.
"Xu is the greenhouse at the head of the Lu Guogong Mansion, and it is not necessary to say that the flowers can be planted next to it." Huiya took the post from Zheng's hand and read through it, and saw that it mentioned a camellia with eighteen bachelors, and said with a smile.
"Maybe so." Zheng nodded, it doesn't matter what you look at in this flower viewing, the important thing is to prepare clothes and jewelry for Huiya. (To be continued.) )
