Chapter 256: Dead Knot

Blanching is a common cooking technique in Cantonese cuisine, which refers to blanching vegetables with boiling water or soup, this cooking method sounds very simple, but it takes a lot of experience to really achieve perfection. In addition, in terms of color, blanching itself also has the purpose of retaining the green vegetables, but if you do not grasp the heat and time when blanching, even the verdant greens will become yellow, so skillful skills have become the key to the success of this dish.

Su Miao took the time to hand a green kale to Lin Yan, who was smelling the fragrance of the greens and bending her eyebrows and kept chanting "so fragrant", Lin Yan's favorite thing to eat was crispy and tender greens.

Lin Yan smiled happily, put it in her mouth, the old leaves and stems at the lower end of the kale have all been removed, leaving only the most tender part, after the kale is broken, it is cooled with cold boiled water, drained, and poured on the sauce boiled with fresh soy sauce, caster sugar, clear soup and shredded ginger, just the right crisp and tender taste, the sweet and fresh flavor of the beauty, Lin Yan squinted intoxicated with a pair of lying silkworm eyes, and smiled very pleasantly:

"Miaomiao, you are so amazing, even the green vegetables can be made so delicious, after eating this, even if you are in a bad mood, you can immediately become cheerful!"

"You're in a bad mood?" Su Miao raised her eyebrows and asked.

Lin Yan closed her mouth, smiled wryly, turned around, opened the steamer, took out the freshly hatched white jade-like pastry, cut it into small pieces with a knife smeared with cold water, pinched a piece and stuffed it into the mouth of Su Miao, who was cooking vegetables, and said with a smile:

"Osmanthus sugar steamed new chestnut flour cake."

Sweet and refreshing. Delicate and smooth, with a rich cinnamon fragrance.

"You're really good at making osmanthus dim sum." Su Miao said in an admiring tone.

Lin Yan smiled warmly.

"Lin Yan, you are Miss Qianjin, do you have to be able to make snacks?" Su Chan leaned her back against the edge of the stove and was lazy. While eating the snacks that had just come out of the steamer, I asked curiously.

"The girls in Liang Du will at least have one or two skills, and this will be taught by their mother before they leave the cabinet."

"Your mother is very good at making dim sum?"

Lin Yan's expression froze, paused, and replied with a light smile: "I learned it myself." ”

"So positive, you like to make snacks?" Su Chan became more and more curious, and asked with a stiff face.

Lin Yan's expression became more and more embarrassed. He replied with a wry smile: "Because my mother likes to eat, I learned it myself, and my mother doesn't like to eat too sweet snacks." Using sugar osmanthus to make it is both sweet and not too greasy, and what is more coincidental is that after I got married, I learned that the only thing he could eat was osmanthus dim sum......" She explained in a hurry, because she answered while preparing the raw materials. It seemed that her speech was getting faster and faster. Perhaps it was because her speed of speech was so fast that her head could no longer keep up with the speed of her speech, until she finished speaking, she realized that she had missed her mouth, and her voice stopped abruptly, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Chan'er, serve the food!" Su Miao stuffed a plate of rouge duck breast into Su Chan's hand and commanded heavily.

Su Chan also felt that she had asked a little too much. Obediently answered, and left with the plate.

Su Miao had heard Hui Gan say it before. Lin Yan lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her stepmother, she originally thought it was a mother's filial piety, but because she couldn't give birth to a son, this stepmother actually felt that Lin Yan rushed her, and her own daughter had Lin Yan in front of her and felt that it was an obstacle, so when Lin Yan was about to arrive at Jilu, the stepmother finally made up her mind to kill Lin Yan, and this incident later became a big case that caused a sensation in the entire Liang capital under the involvement of Liang Min, a drama of stepmother murdering her daughter-in-law, but the end of this incident was that Lin Yan interceded for her stepmother, The fate of the vicious stepmother was just a green lantern ancient Buddha, and the bad-hearted sister born by the stepmother did not get any punishment, but successfully married and gave birth to two sons, and always came to sarcastically mock Lin Yan as a female bird that did not lay eggs.

Regarding Lin Yan's character, Su Miao actually didn't think there was anything wrong, Lin Yan was a gentle and kind girl, she was a good girl, as long as she knew this, it was enough. Even if a good girl has bad luck at the beginning, as long as she keeps her precious temperament, she will reap beautiful results sooner or later, which Su Miao has always believed.

"Sister Lin, the girl at that table wants to ask you how to make this cinnamon sugar cake, I said this can't be taught, she keeps asking me to beg you, can you tell her?" Su Yan walked over and asked.

"It's not difficult, there's no need to keep it secret, I'll go now, Brother Yan will help me bring this to table seven." Lin Yan handed two plates of new chestnut flour cake to Su Yan, took off her apron, and went with a smile.

Su Miao looked at her and walked towards the place where the girl was a table, obviously it would be closer from the east, but she turned a big way from the west very awkwardly, the reason was obvious, because Liang Min's table was on the east side.

"I still care about it." Su Miao waved the stir-fry spoon and hummed.

"Ten years of sharing a bed, even if you sleep with a dog, you will care." Su Miao said vaguely, but the aftertaste of chopping vegetables beside her was easily understood, and she said lightly.

Su Miao laughed: "Are you so bad, do you scold your eldest brother for being a dog?" ”

Huiwei glanced at her, and said with a stiff face: "Don't always be 'big brother', I told you that my surname is back to his surname Liang, I have nothing to do with him, why do you like to pull me and him together so much?" ”

Su Miao didn't care about his face, raised her eyebrows, looked at the dining table in the east, and replied as a matter of course:

"Because I think he wants to be close to you in his heart, and you want to be close to him in his heart, otherwise I don't care about it. The more you treat the people you care about, the more you are not frank about this, you two are really surprisingly similar, obviously two types of people. ”

Bang!

Chop it into the cutting board with a knife!

Su Miao glanced at her dark and arrogant face, and snorted:

"I'm so bold that I dare to come with me here, this trick is obviously for me. Take out the ribs, debon, chop them into minced meat, and give it to me, 10 minutes! ”

“…… Be. The arrogance of the aftertaste weakened, and he reluctantly responded. Because she is the head chef, it is common sense that the assistant must obey the head chef during the cooking process.

Su Miao nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Yan taught the young girl who was curious about the process of making osmanthus cake in detail, and the other party was very happy. thanked him again and again, and a beaming little face flushed.

"The girl wants to know so much, is it because she likes to eat osmanthus cake very much?" Lin Yan likes to see the innocent smiling face of the unmarried girl the most, without the worries of the burden of life, without the troubles of marriage bondage, seeing the girl smiling sweetly, she couldn't help but ask more.

"Oh. She's for her future husband!" The girl's best friend smiled narrowly, hit the girl's shoulder hard, and squeezed her eyebrows. "I heard that the Zheng family's brother's favorite is osmanthus sweet cake!"

"Ah Qiao, you say it again, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" The girl's face was flushed, and she rushed over to fight with her companions.

Lin Yan felt her heart sink. A face that had been smiling stiffened.

"Sister. Are you okay? Seeing that her face suddenly became not very good-looking, the girl asked worriedly.

Lin Yan shook her head, looked at her face full of joy and anticipation for the future, paused, and said with a smile:

"It turns out that the girl is getting married, congratulations!"

The girl became more and more embarrassed, blushing and smiling shyly.

Lin Yan smiled palely and turned around. I walked back, but this time I didn't know if it was because of bad eyes, uneven ground, or bad mood. The old problem suddenly attacked, one left foot tripped over the right foot, snapped, and threw himself forward!

However, this time she didn't land on her accustomed face, a strong arm supported her unbalanced body, and the familiar smell of Shen Tan pounced deeply, and the sense of presence lingered around her, making her heart chuckle!

"Can't you be careful when you walk?" Liang Min frowned and asked helplessly.

This helpless tone sounded angry and reproachful to Lin Yan, she straightened her waist, and she didn't know where the irritability came from, she shook off his hand vigorously, and the force of the action suddenly made Liang Min startled.

Before Liang Min could speak, a warbler voice came from behind him:

"Ah, princess, how are you dressed like this?"

Lin Yan looked over, and what caught her eye were three beautiful women dressed up to attend the ceremony, Ding Hui, Ding Lan, and Ding Ru were dressed up more and more delicately, this is just an outdoor restaurant, the three girls are obviously here to eat, but they are dressed as if they are going to participate in the palace banquet, complicated headdresses, skirts dragging the floor, and rich makeup.

"Ah, here are three Luhua chickens!" Su Miao stood behind the stove, glanced at it from a distance when she looked up, and exclaimed.

The aftertaste fluttered and laughed.

Chen Shengzheng took out a reed chicken from the cage, glanced at the chicken in his hand, and then looked up at the three colorful people who came in full costume, hahaha laughed.

Aftertaste smiles more happily.

"Brother Wei!" Ding Lan finally found the aftertaste, and immediately left her sister and trotted over with her skirt.

"The ...... she wears on her head Is it chicken feathers? Su Miao looked at Ding Lan's hair ornament with many beautiful feathers, colorful and dazzling, and kept shaking as she ran, and asked in amazement.

"That's the tail feathers of the golden pheasant." Aftertaste replied with a smile.

Su Miao was stunned, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Aftertaste watched her laugh and couldn't stop laughing.

Ding Lan ran to the stove and stopped abruptly, and looked at the two of them in a daze as they looked at themselves and laughed, a little face turned white and she was at a loss, and she was laughed horribly.

Ding Hui witnessed Lin Yan's previous embarrassment, a contemptuous smile flashed across the corner of his lips, stared sharply at Liang Min's hand holding Lin Yan's fingers, paused, raised his chin and sneered:

"Princess, what are you doing in this dress? Could it be that he was tired of making dim sum in Liangdu, and specially came to Suzhou to make dim sum for these ordinary people? As she spoke, she glanced contemptuously at the diners around her, and the luxurious outfit did make many civilians bow their heads timidly.

Lin Yan is used to this kind of provocation, anyway, the next words must be that she doesn't understand the rules, is a child, is not worthy of being a princess, is not worthy of being the mistress of the palace and the like, such sarcasm will be around the bush before, and then it will become more and more straightforward, and it will always develop into a vicious curse, these extremely hostile verbal attacks She would feel sad and sad before, but now, she has become numb and tired, so tired that she can't even bother to deal with it.

"The princess ......" Ding Hui saw that Lin Yan did not respond, and became more and more contemptuous before he wanted to speak.

"Miss Ding," Lin Yan turned around, this was the first time she looked directly at the girl who had intentions for her husband, her fist under the narrow sleeves was secretly clenched, she held on to her courage, and said in a low but quiet voice, "I am no longer the princess, I have already reconciled with the princess two years ago, so there is no need for you to waste your tongue on me anymore." ”

When the words fell, many people froze.

Cracking sound!

The sound of porcelain breaking!

Liang Min followed the prestige with a gloomy face, and his already cloudy face became more and more gloomy, and Ning Le, who was passing by, actually shook his hand when he heard Lin Yan and Li's declaration, and knocked over a tray of dishes.

Ning Le was also stunned, he looked at Lin Yan blankly.

Liang Min's face became more and more ugly, he suddenly grabbed Lin Yan's wrist in anger, pulled Lin Yan away like a little chicken, and pulled Lin Yan away, who was struggling hard, in front of Ding Hui, who was stunned.

kicked hard on the ass, almost kicking Ning Le to his knees on the porcelain slag in front of him.

Ning Le came back to his senses, turned around, and faced Su Chan's face, which was flatter than a wooden plank.

"It's useless!" Su Chan coldly spat out two words from her pale lips, hugged her arms, turned around, and left.

Ning Le was stunned for a moment, his head was blank, he didn't know why his head was blank at this time, he squatted down like a moving wooden man, and picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground without saying a word, but his heart was beating fast.

Lakefront.

Willow branches hang on the shore.

Lin Yan was thrown hard, almost thrown into the lake, holding on to the trunk of the tree to gain a firm foothold, and then heard him roar angrily:

"How long are you going to make trouble? I've been messing around with you for so many days, and you're not enough, you don't have to make trouble until the entire Yueliang country knows about it, and everyone in the Rui Wangfu will lose face with you, won't you? ”

Lin Yan held back a breath in her heart because of such treatment and such words, she turned her head away and didn't look at him, and didn't say a word.

Liang Min became more and more annoyed, he was a calm and cold person, and he was also a person who could not be restrained when he was angry, he pinched her chin hard, forcefully pulled her face over, and forced her to look at him directly.

"Speak!" He commanded in a deep voice, "What I hate most is you who don't speak, how can I know what you are thinking if you don't say anything!" ”

He said something very piercing but very honest.

Lin Yan was forced to look at him directly for a while, and then suddenly reached out and pushed away the hand he was holding himself.

"Let's go apart." She whispered.

Liang Min looked at her for a moment, he suddenly laughed and sneered:

"Since it's still the same sentence at the beginning, what is it about pretending to faint that time in the Dongping Marquis Mansion?" He asked.

Lin Yan's heart trembled, and a sour taste came up, he really knew it, thinking that she who could deceive him was self-deception.

She lowered her head and hid her reddish eyes.

"I still can't bear you, even if we are not like the days when we first got married, even if you accept Wei Xianya, even if she spoils your flesh and bones, I still can't bear you, but it's too painful to live with you, if only I were a smart and brave woman, but I'm not, I'm no longer a young and ignorant fourteen-year-old, ten years of marriage, what I got was not courage, but more and more timid, I, without the courage to return to you, will only repeat the mistakes of the past." She said in a sad voice. (To be continued......)
