Chapter Eighty-Eight: Salt Baking
When he was in Qingshan County, every time he came to invite Su Nian to Xiao Mansion, Yue Song would take the initiative to come over, first, he was the first reused little guy in front of Xiao Ge, and he came to show his respect for Su Nian; Second, Yuesong himself was happy to make this trip.
In Yuesong's cognition, Xiaocui and Qiao'er are also called human maids? I've never seen them so casual, they dare to say anything in front of Su Nian, dare to express any thoughts, and there are no taboos.
So Yue Song will feel extremely relaxed when he is there in Su Nian, no matter what he does, Su Nian will smile, not to mention that there is something delicious every time, when he goes to invite Su Nian to return home, it takes a lot of time.
Xiao Ge may also know the Tao, but he never says anything, and his little servant feels that the atmosphere there is comfortable, and there is nothing bad about it.
Early this morning, Xiao Ge instructed Yue Song to clean up the two courtyards and come out, Yue Song didn't know why, he just obeyed the order, and when he accidentally learned that it was for Liu Lao and Su Nian to clean up the place, he was full of energy.
The layout is called a heart, Xiao Ge is speechless, for his master, Yue Song is afraid that it is just like this......
Facing Yue Song's smiling face, Su Nian couldn't continue to stiffen his dead face, and pulled out his habitual smile, Yue Song was immediately encouraged, and took the initiative to take the luggage and baggage they carried with them, and then carried them to the house without saying a word.
Xiao Ge nodded secretly with satisfaction, worthy of being a little guy who had been with him for so long, even if he didn't have time to comprehend his thoughts, what he did was also in line with his heart.
Xiaocui and Qiao'er stood behind Su Nian empty-handed, and Su Nian saw that there was no change. had to follow the master into Xiao Ge's state pastor's mansion in Weicheng.
"Old Liu, how long are you going to stay in Weicheng this time?"
"It depends on when the young girl can cure that little girl."
Xiao Ge's eyes moved to Su Nian's body. Su Nian pretended to be dead, as if he was attracted by the surrounding scenery. There's no way to be distracted.
"That's ......, I heard Lord Yu say that even the girl's condition is repeated, and it seems that it is not too easy to cure."
You're not a doctor, what are you talking about, Su Nian was spitting out a groove in his heart, and suddenly froze, what's wrong with him?
Su Nian stopped, and there was a blankness on her face that she couldn't even understand. When she was in Qingshan County, although she was not respectful to Xiao Ge, she was also decent, but why did she change her mood a little after she met her in Weicheng?
That's right, this is the Governor of the State! Why did she ignore people before? What do you rely on? Is it the apprentice of the medical saint Liu Lao? Or is it Xiao Ge's affection for himself?
Liu Lao and Xiao Ge also stopped strangely after Su Nian stopped, watched the expression on her face change a few times, and then abruptly raised their hands and "snapped" twice on their faces.
The voice was crisp. Liu Laodu's flesh hurts, what's wrong with this little girl?
The fair-skinned cheeks quickly turned crimson, but Xiao Cui and Qiao'er, who had always maintained Su Nian, unexpectedly did not react, and the two of them had seen Su Nian behave like this before. She said that she was doing introspection, a way to make herself more sober.
But when Xiaocui and Qiao'er wanted to imitate, they were stopped by Su Nian: "This is for your young lady and me." Even if you do, you won't necessarily get results. ”
So. Now the young lady must be reflecting on something, although Xiaocui and Qiao'er don't know what Lu Dao is. But as long as the young lady feels that it is necessary, it must be correct.
"I said, girl, what are you doing?" Liu Lao couldn't help but ask, tsk, this strength is definitely not light, what is the red face?
Su Nian slowly raised his head, at that moment, Xiao Ge felt that the pores of his whole body were erected, Su Nian's cheeks were red, but his eyes were disproportionately clear, and his calm eyes were like bright stars, cold and shiny, making people unable to take their eyes off at all.
Seeing the worried look on Xiao Ge's face, Su Nian said slowly:
"The little woman just remembered something, Lord Xiao doesn't have to worry about it."
The same voice, but let Xiao Ge hear different emotions, if in the Taishou Mansion before, Su Nian was still an awkward little girl, at this time, she has completely controlled her emotions, with respectful alienation, making Xiao Ge feel that she is obviously standing in front of her, but it seems to be far away from him......
What went wrong? Xiao Ge didn't know what to say, he had no choice, no position to ask anything, so he could only take them and slowly walk to the courtyard prepared for them.
Very comfortable, this is Su Nian's first impression, the house is elegantly furnished and light, it is Su Nian's favorite style, there is nothing lacking in the small yard, a separate kitchen, which has put a lot of various tools and fresh ingredients that were added in the morning.
Su Nian respectfully thanked Xiao Ge and thanked her for being so thoughtful, Xiao Ge accepted it silently, but the expression on his face began to become more and more solemn.
returned to the appearance of Qingshan County, Su Nian at that time, because she was forcibly left behind by herself, although she didn't dare to resist, she was always uncomfortable in her heart, so when she faced Xiao Ge, she looked businesslike, indifferent smile, polite words, and only occasionally inadvertently revealed a trace of her original temperament.
In Yu Mansion, at the gate of that courtyard, Xiao Ge found out that Su Nian was such a woman full of vitality, in order to protect her master's reputation, she dared to stand up and choke with so many people, with a look of contempt on her face, which made Xiao Ge's heart stabbed.
This is what she was supposed to be...... Xiao Ge thought to himself, and then, Su Nian had a little girl-like twist, pretending to drink tea and not looking up, unwilling to live here and grinding and chirping, which made Xiao Ge feel very interesting, all of which he had never seen before.
But after only a while, she recovered, and Xiao Ge choked her wrists while remembering what went wrong? Didn't you have a good time before?
After settling down, Xiao Ge said that he had prepared a dinner party and wanted to catch Liu Lao, this form Liu Lao was naturally very familiar with, but Su Nian was coquettish with his master in front of Xiao Ge, saying that she was a little tired of giving Lian Qingyan a needle today. Anyway, there was a small kitchen in the yard, so she didn't go.
Liu Lao naturally felt sorry for his apprentice. So he nodded without thinking about it, "That's okay." Xiaocui, Qiao'er, you take good care of the young girl. ”
Xiaocui and Qiao'er responded in unison, saying that they must live up to the trust.
Everyone said this, Xiao Ge couldn't say anything, so he had to care about a few words, and was dragged to the front by Liu Lao.
Qiao'er closed the courtyard door, and when she ran back, her steps became light: "Miss, let's go." ”
"Miss, I just saw a freshly slaughtered chicken in the kitchen. Didn't Miss Salt-Baked Chicken compliment me on a good job last time? Shall we do it again in the evening? ”
Su Nian breathed a sigh of relief: "Those who know my heart are still Xiaocui and Qiao'er!" ”
The two little girls covered their mouths and giggled, what was a little tired and wanted to rest, but the young lady was just impatient to deal with it.
To say that Xiao Ge is really hearted, there is nothing lacking in the small courtyard, Qiao'er made a pot of tea, and as soon as Su Nian sat down, he heard someone calling at the gate of the courtyard.
Qiao'er opened the door and saw that it was Brother Wei Xi.
"You must be nesting in the yard." Wei Xi strode in. He sat down opposite Su Nian without hesitation, "It's pretty good." ”
The courtyard where Wei Xi and Liu Lao live is not far from here, and it seems that Wei Xi has no share of this reception dinner, but he doesn't seem to be disappointed at all: "What is Miss Xiaocui doing at night?" I can't wait. ”
"Brother Wei is really blessed." Su Nian sighed sincerely. "But you have to wait, it will take some effort to eat salt-baked chicken tonight."
Wei Xi listened. Saliva secreted unconsciously, and he tasted salt-baked chicken. Last time, Xiao Cui did it once, and that taste was paired with wine. It's just wonderful, but last time Xiao Cui just tried it, and only made one, which is really not enough to eat.
"Little Cui girl, don't be in a hurry anyway, let's make a few more!"
Xiaocui was busy in the small kitchen, Qiao'er also went in to help after pouring tea for Wei Xi, and in the courtyard, Su Nian and Wei Xi were holding a smooth teacup and spending this wonderful afternoon leisurely.
"Su Nian girl, don't blame me for being too talkative, this Lord Xiao, what is the plan in your heart, you'd better have a number."
Wei Xi brewed for a long time, and finally broke the calm.
Su Nian raised her eyes, Wei Xi only had concern in her eyes, and she was grateful: "Thank you Brother Wei for mentioning it, it's just that I can't guess what this Lord Xiao thinks, even if I really guess it, with me being just a little doctor now, even if I am the heir of the medical saint, what can I do?" ”
Wei Xi didn't know what to do? He has also experienced bloody storms, how could Xiao Ge not see the little thoughts about Su Nian? But as Su Nian said, what can you do if you know the Tao?
"Brother Wei, don't worry, Su Nian knows what to do, although I don't have any status now, but at least, I know what I want."
Since this is the case, Wei Xi will not say much, and he can see that this girl, who is much younger than himself, may have a firmer heart than himself.
**************************
The aroma of dinner began to waft in the courtyard, and the salty aroma of salt-baked chicken stimulated everyone's taste buds.
"Brother Wei, do you know how this salt-baked chicken is made?" Su Nian suddenly had a lot of conversation.
"I really don't know what to do with this ......."
"Let me tell you, first use rice wine to rub inside and outside the chicken body to remove the peculiar smell, then wipe the seasoning evenly, stuff the stomach with green onions, ginger, star anise, and then sew it with cotton thread, marinate for almost an hour, take it out to dry, wrap the chicken in paper, put it in the sea salt that is fried until it is dry and hot, and start baking, and then it can be baked."
“…… So troublesome? Wei Xi was distracted from the middle, he didn't expect this dish to have such tedious steps, it was really not easy......
Suddenly, Wei Xi remembered, "Then I asked Miss Xiaocui to do a few more before?" Isn't it too difficult? ”
Su Nian smiled: "That's not going to happen, it can be done at the same time, one is baked, and several are also baked." ”
It was not easy for an ancient woman to be in the back house, managing the family's eating, drinking, eating, living, and transportation, but if she was a little deviated, she would fall into the hands of others, why? They are also not easy, maybe large families don't need to cook themselves, but small households are inevitable, a dish has to spend so much effort, how can people not eat it with gratitude? (To be continued......)
