Chapter 42: Cook by yourself
Su Chen left Peng Jingqing to have dinner at home, and was ready to cook a few dishes that girls like to eat.
In fact, during the Tang and Song dynasties, there were many kinds of cooking techniques, such as frying, stir-frying, broiling, boiling, steaming, roasting, frying, simmering, boiling, burning, baking, and plucking.
At present, there are dozens of condiments commonly used in the Tang Dynasty, including pepper, pepper, star anise, cumin, cumin, ginger, garlic, green onion, sesame oil, pepper oil, mustard, vinegar, sauce and so on.
In the palace nobles and wealthy families, the dishes are all exquisite, and even several big restaurants in Runzhou City also have some specialty dishes.
Su Chen didn't go to Lanxiang cooking school, but he didn't know so many chef skills, if he paid attention to the fineness of making a dish, he would definitely not be as good as the chef of a big restaurant, so he could only think of some dishes that were popular and relatively simple in later generations, but had not yet appeared in this era.
For example, spicy hot, assorted pots, cross-bridge rice noodles.......
Just do it, Su Chen went out to sell vegetables by himself, leaving Ling'er at home, and asked Peng Jingqing about the practice of boxing, so that she could give some advice, and she could still benefit a lot.
Half an hour later, Su Chen came back with a lot of chicken, duck, mutton, venison and green vegetables, and asked Ling'er to come over to help pick and clean the vegetables, and he began to cut the meat and prepare the ingredients.
Peng Jingqing took advantage of this opportunity and slipped into Su Chen's study......
In the afternoon, Bai Susu also told her that if she stayed at Su Chen's house for a long time, she would find a way to go to his study to see what books he usually reads and what words he writes.
The man's study, the woman's boudoir, those are all places with secrets.
You can best see what kind of person this person is!
An hour later, dusk came, and Su Chen finally made four dishes: yellow stewed chicken, assorted pots, spicy hot, and pot-wrapped meat!
These dishes, Su Chen went to the restaurant and didn't find a similar practice, it is not complicated, but the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty have not thought about this aspect, which should make Peng Jingqing's eyes shine.
"The meal is ready, Miss Peng, it's time to eat." Su Chen walked out of the kitchen and came to the courtyard courtyard, but did not find Peng Jingqing.
A moment later, Peng Jingqing was found in the study, and she could hold the manuscript of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and read it with relish.
Don't look at Peng Jingqing, who usually doesn't care about the Four Books and Five Classics and poetry and songs, but he likes to read legendary novels very much.
However, she has long been tired of listening to the old-fashioned short stories of talented and beautiful women, and the kind of stories about poor scholars and ladies do not conform to her aesthetic and value orientation, and she doesn't like to read them.
Only some legends of Zhiwei and rangers are very interested, but unfortunately, there are too few on the market.
Printing technology was not yet developed, paper was expensive, and some subsets of the scriptures were still laborious to print, and even fewer were able to stream the booklet on a cross-section.
Su Chen wrote the fourth and fifth chapters in the past two days, combined with Chu Ren's version of Teacher Hetian, after trimming the pen, the plot became more compact, Qin Qiong was difficult to sell the yellow horse, Wang Bodang Li Mi appeared, and then went to Erxian Village to see Shan Xiongxin's plot.
Peng Jingqing read it, it was very tasteful, these heroes of the green forest, deep friendship, light life and death, heavy promise, this kind of heroic story is very attractive to her.
"Miss Peng!" Su Chen walked into the study and called softly.
Peng Jingqing was stunned, put down the manuscript of the book, and asked, "This book ...... You wrote it? ”
Su Chen smiled awkwardly and nodded, "The girl has heard it?" ”
Peng Jingjing stared at Su Chen with bright eyes, and said: "Two days ago, someone was talking on the street, Fan Lou's storyteller told a new story of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, I was a little curious, and I listened to it in the past, it was really exciting." In recent days, the restaurant has been full, and the seats are full, waiting for its follow-up story......"
Su Chen chuckled and said, "If you have nothing to do, you have to play, come over and eat." ”
"Good! Chat while eating. You're going to tell me the rest of the story. Peng Jingqing made a request.
"What about Yitian?"
"Well, listen too!" Peng Jingqing was also very interested in Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu's solution, and said: "Why don't you talk about Sui and Tang when you eat, and tell me about Yitian after dinner." ”
"I ...... Good! Su Chen's complaining words came to his lips and pressed down again. This little aunt has to serve well, not to mention that she has saved herself twice, and I don't know how many times I need her help later, so when it is time to pay, he has to pay.
The two of them walked out of the study one after the other, and came to the main room in the back hall, where the well-behaved Ling'er had already put all the food on the table.
"Hey, what kind of dishes are these?"
Peng Jingqing is the daughter of the prefect, not to mention eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but she is definitely excellent in food, and she went to Baijia Restaurant to find Bai Susu when she had nothing to do, and she ate almost all of the dishes of the chef of Bairunlou. But she really hadn't seen these things on the table.
Su Chen saw her with a surprised expression, secretly happy in his heart, and pointed to the largest casserole and introduced: "This is a mixed pot, a hodgepodge of stews, but every step is very particular, there are chicken, pork kidneys, cabbage, eggs, spinach, lamb, fish, lettuce and so on....."
"In this casserole, there is yellow stewed chicken, and the soup ingredients are specially made with secret recipes, which is absolutely different from the current method of stewing chicken."
"There are two left, one is pot wrapped in meat, and the other is spicy hot ......"
Peng Jingqing sat on the stool, his eyes shining and his expression of surprise.
The three of them began to move their chopsticks, and Peng Jingqing couldn't wait to taste everything, and sure enough, the taste was different, and he had indeed never eaten it.
"Well, yes, it's delicious!" Peng Jingqing ate it happily.
After Yang Ling'er ate the food, her little face was full of joy and praised frequently, but she was curious, when did Brother Su Chen know this kind of cooking skills?
"Su Chen, did Qin Qiong leave Erxianzhuang and go back to Jinan Mansion?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No, he encountered trouble again on the way......
Peng Jingqing was eating delicious food while listening to Su Chen talking while eating, and this meal was over after eating for more than half an hour.
A bright moon hung in the silent night sky, and the moonlight was bright, sprinkled in the quiet courtyard, like a piece of clear light.
The bamboo is lush and quiet, the potted stamens are fragrant, and there is a faint sound of cicadas in the courtyard, which makes the world of the courtyard quiet with a hint of interest.
Peng Jingqing ate very much, leaning on the bamboo chair where Su Chen usually lies, drinking tea, admiring the moon, and listening to wonderful martial arts stories in his ears, which is very comfortable.
Su Chen had already told Yitian about Zhang Wuji's cultivation of Jiuyang Divine Skills, but Peng Jingqing didn't have the slightest intention of going home to sleep, she wouldn't be living here, right?
"That, Miss Peng, it's late at night, don't you go home, aren't you worried about Lord Lingzun?"
Peng Jingqing laughed and said: "My father, if you want to worry, you are also worried that I will cause trouble and beat up the powerful people in the city. ”
Su Chen nodded when he heard this, he also wanted to understand that with Peng Jingqing's martial arts and identity, in Runzhou City, he could walk sideways.
Whoever provokes her is unlucky!
"Hurry up, I'll listen like this, if I listen too late, I'll live in your house and sleep with Ling'er." Peng Jingqing has a bold personality, she doesn't see anything at all, and she also likes the well-behaved and lovely Ling'er, which is the reason why she plans to stay.
Su Chen nodded helplessly, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "After that Zhang Wuji learned the Jiuyang Divine Skill, he fell off the cliff again and broke his leg....."
Peng Jingqing looked disgusted: "Why is he so unlucky!" ”
