Volume 1 Chapter 19 See Yan Chi Again

Another point that Fang Qi has always envied Aunt Wen is that she can also enjoy a ten-day holiday like a court official, and although she is generally not allowed to take a vacation because of the wine banquet during the New Year's Festival, there are many days of vacation, but she is enjoyed in advance before the New Year's Festival.

Dragon Boat Festival, the imperial court allows hundreds of officials to take a three-day holiday, starting from the third day of the first month of May, the prime minister's mansion should hold a three-day banquet, the first day of the banquet for the subordinates and ordinary guests who come to the door to ask, the second day of the banquet for relatives and friends, the fifth day of the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival is the family banquet. According to the usual practice, Aunt Wen has to make full preparations on the second day of the fifth month, so she should have a three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday before the second day of the fifth month, and she will be off from today.

But it's just that, of course, you can't because Aunt Wen is on vacation, the blister kitchen in Xiangdi has to be cut off, Aunt Wen has two nieces, she has a true inheritance, cooking home-cooked food is not a problem, every time Aunt Wen is on vacation, her nieces are in charge.

Fang Qi counted the time, although she went out early today, but after all, she had breakfast before starting from the Xiangdi, Aunt Wen's two nieces must have arrived home first, she can first ask Aunt Wen to borrow the kitchen, processing chili oil and bean paste, so as not to delay Aunt Wen to teach her niece to cook, just at noon, chili oil can be mixed with two cold dishes, and then let Aunt Wen be amazed, maybe you can get some benefits.

In the afternoon, I asked Aunt Wen for her specialty dishes, and then went home after dinner, so that I would not delay Aunt Wen's affairs, and I could eat two meals in a row.

This arrangement is very good, Fang Qi is very proud of his arrangement in the sedan chair.

Speaking of David's folk customs are quite civilized, women go out and will not cause a fuss from passers-by, although it is rare on Lin'an Street, there is no shortage of noblewomen and ladies who ride horses to enjoy the scenery on the embankment of the West Lake.

Compared with the bumpy carriage, she considered it for a long time before choosing a sedan chair as a means of transportation.

First, because it was more difficult to travel in a carriage, not only had to be equipped with an entourage but also a driver, and had to be equipped with fodder to feed the horses, and now that she had been disliked by the eldest lady, it was better to save some trouble; Moreover, Mrs. Wen's house is not far from the Xiangdi, just two streets apart, so the sedan chair driver doesn't need to take a break halfway, and he doesn't need to be troublesome to deploy this and that.

But the disadvantage of the sedan chair is that the space is small, and it is inevitable to be depressed, but fortunately, a big advantage in the fang period is to be able to entertain herself, for example, this smug will make her feel comfortable.

Fang Qi was leaning on a few to listen to the movement outside the sedan chair, but when she heard the noise of the city, she knew that she must have walked out of Taihe Street and just arrived at Gulou Royal Street, in order to make the next journey appear shorter, she gave herself an exam question, planning to use her ears to distinguish the well-known taverns, trading houses, and tiles that opened next to the royal street, and opened the corner of the curtain to check whether the positioning was accurate.

How do you know that when the first "fixed-point" spring tent has not yet had time to verify, she heard a thunderous explosion, Fang Qi was bluffed, a few suspicions must have encountered an idler barbarian brawl, busy to stop the sedan car, just opened the sedan curtain to take a peek, and saw that the servant Cao Kaihe, who went out with her today, was already standing in front of the window: "Little lady don't need to be afraid, this is the top ten brocade line is switching to fight the gambling game." ”

Fang Qi was puzzled, she had passed through the Ten Highlights in the past, and it was not that she had never encountered a gambling game, how could there be a deafening "boom".

I heard it again, but I heard someone shouting: "Hey, follow Yan Lang to bet on ten bets, but unfortunately I didn't believe it to the end, this time I bet on the dealer, and lost a lot of money in vain, and the money won in the first nine games was lost." ”

Cao Kaihe couldn't help but sigh: "This Yan Saburo is really a god, although he doesn't often come to Shijin Xing, but whenever he comes, Guan Pu has never lost a loss, and a group of spectators followed him to bet, and the dealer's eyebrows were almost scorched, and there was no reason to rush the guests, so he had to admit his loss, I was afraid that I would ask God to tell the Buddha and I was afraid that Yan Saburo would often visit." ”

August asked: "The Yan Saburo that Brother Cao said is Yan Saburo of the Yiguo Mansion?" ”

"Who else could it be? Why, the August girl who lives in a simple place has also heard of Yan Saburo's name? ”

"Didn't Yan Saburo come to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet the day before yesterday? I heard that the next day's bow, Yan Sanlang first bet on Zhao Shizi to win, and later heard that Xu Erlang was going to play, and he actually regretted it, at first he bet with Li Dalang, and refused to give up, but Yan Sanlang said that the premise was when he bet, that is, he thought that Xu Erlang would not end, Zhao Wulang of Zheng Guogong's Mansion was not convinced when he heard it, saying that his brother must be better than Xu Erlang, and he rushed to bet with Yan Sanlang, and lost three hundred taels of silver, who was Li Dalang convinced? Even he was amazed at Yan Saburo's unique vision. ”

As soon as Fang Qi heard that she encouraged Second Brother Xu to fight, she won thirty taels The money that the iceberg beauty man won turned out to be her tenfold, and suddenly felt that her internal organs were trembling, and she felt that she had made a wedding dress for others, but after thinking about it, it was okay, who let her not take out three hundred taels as a bet, her wealth was short and her breath was weak, and her eyes were red and she couldn't come to this windfall.

Immediately, her fighting spirit doubled, and when she completed the main task first, with the principal and method to make a fortune, there would always be a day when she had a lot of money.

The sedan chair turned into Swallow Street, and the surroundings gradually became quiet again.

It is not easy to live in peace now, although Aunt Wen is a rich man, the house she bought is just two ordinary people, and the servants know Fang Qi, and don't ask more to open the door to let the soft sedan chair be carried directly into the yard, Fang Qi gave Cao Kai and a bag of money for him to drink with the servants, and led him to see Aunt Wen in March and August.

Mrs. Wen's inner house also created a small flower garden, as if it was a natural barrier to the bedroom, she was at this time with her nieces for a long lecture, seeing that Fang Qi was sitting in the pavilion on the side, before letting the nieces go to the blister kitchen to practice - David's high-ranking family invited the blister cook, choose more women, and although only the cook was hired, he still had to pay attention to the appearance at least delicate, and the posture must be slender, with so many requirements, the salary of the cook was far higher than that of the cook, and in the long run, the cook would form a "family".

Although there are also chefs who recruit them, more cooks would rather choose to be single, so in the family of chefs, it is the man who is responsible for passing on the lineage, which has become the model of the female protagonist and the male protagonist.

Like Aunt Wen, she is single, at least for now, she has no plans to recruit more.

I heard that Fang Qi was not in a hurry to let her teach her skills, but wanted to borrow her kitchen to do a "mysterious thing", and Aunt Wen agreed in one bite.

In the Xiang Mansion, Aunt Wen has a separate kitchen, and all the dazzling appliances in it are provided by Aunt Wen, not to mention in her own home?

Fang didn't learn art first, and there was no problem of leakage, so this time in March and August, I followed up with the kitchen.

This is the first time that the two of them have been allowed to enter Mrs. Wen's private kitchen, and in the past, the little lady was busy sweating in the private kitchen, and the two maids were drinking cold water and eating candied fruits in the pavilion of the small flower garden, and there was often an illusion of the transposition of the master and servant.

The two maids were stunned by Aunt Wen's private kitchen.

A set of knives, the handle is all golden, this, this, this, Aunt Wen is too rich!

Seeing that August seemed to want to bite the handle of the knife with his teeth to identify the authenticity, Fang Qi couldn't help but laugh: "Of course this is not pure gold, it is gilt, otherwise a knife is so heavy, where can it be called." ”

August smacked his tongue: "Sanniang means that if you are competent, Aunt Wen is not unaffordable, even if the gilded set of knives is very valuable!" ”

"The monthly money of our master and servant is not enough for a fraction of Aunt Wen." Fang sighed and felt that she was so poor.

As a lady in the prime minister's house, she didn't have the eighty taels in hand two days ago, she didn't have a penny in savings, if she wanted to say rich, I'm afraid it was really not as good as March and August, she gave them wages and maids were reluctant to spend, all saved, and sometimes posted it to help her, this master should be serious and shameless.

Aunt Wen not only has complete utensils here, but also complete condiments, and she can use it without any burden during the aromatic period, and the horizontal and vertical chili oil and bean paste are processed, and she will also tell Aunt Wen that she believes that Aunt Wen will not feel sorry for this ingredient.

Rich people should be so broad-minded.

The master and servant were busy for a while, and finally processed the condiments, but the bean paste needs to be marinated for some time before it can be used, and today there is no way to test the taste, and Fang Qi originally planned to use only chili oil to show off, she recalled a picture that the system let her see, although I don't know what the red thing that doesn't look like a chili pepper, and what the black and green things that look sticky and smooth are what the ingredients are, but the Fang period can also be replaced by other ingredients.

When it comes to cooking, it's not good to let March and August be around, Fang Qi asked them to go outside and only be responsible for running errands, and asked Aunt Wen to borrow two nieces to help.

First, take out the salted ham soaked in water, simmer it in the chicken soup prepared by Aunt Wen's house, and soak the silver wisps during the fragrant period.

Mix a chicken egg, add a few grains of salt, fry it into a cake shape, and cut it into thin strips for later use.

Then prepare the shredded green onions, ginger juice and garlic juice.

The silver wisps are good, and the heat fades in the cool boiled water, drained and set aside.

Then remove the cooked ham, also heat it in the cold water, and cut it into thin strips.

The four filaments are white, yellow, red, and blue.

Finally, add a little chicken broth, shrimp oil, abalone juice, pour on the ingredients and stir well, carefully put on a plate, and garnish with a mint leaf for decoration.

Succeed with flying colors.

Fang Qi was about to go out to show off to Aunt Wen, but he felt that he was too excited to be happy and sad if he hit the ground, but this kind of "physical work" that has nothing to do with technology can no longer continue to requisition Aunt Wen's nieces, so he ran out of the private kitchen and wanted to shout March to work hard.

What I saw was March and August, and the probe at the door of the kitchen was probing his brain.

Fang Qi took a shot in August, but he was also pulled by August and leaned on the door frame together: "Sanniang, look at it, this Langjun is so good-looking, could it be Aunt Wen's lover?" ”

For example, ordinary people only have one kitchen, and most of them are located in the outer courtyard, but Aunt Wen has built a kitchen like a large family and is located in the inner house, which requires expanding the area of the inner house, so the area of the front yard of Aunt Wen has been greatly reduced, and the outer hall has been built into a hall, which is very inconvenient for visitors.

It's just that Mrs. Wen doesn't usually have many visitors, the people who come to the door are relatives and friends, and occasionally there are guests who are not very familiar with each other, and the side hall in the outer courtyard is enough to entertain, and the outer hall does not have much effect on her, but Fang Qi has always known that only close people can step into Mrs. Wen's small flower garden, and Mrs. Wen's close people do not include men...... Could it be that Aunt Wen really had a new lover recently?

Fang Qi hurriedly leaned over to watch, and saw a man sitting down.

"Hey, isn't this the Yan Saburo you just mentioned?" Fang Qi subconsciously joked August: "Are you like the second brother's scholar Xianyu, and you can't recognize people's faces?" ”

"The slave has only heard of Yan Saburo's name, and she has never seen the real body!"

As soon as August said this, he stared at March with Fang Qiqi.

It was March who went to the bow field with Fang on that day, and she hadn't seen Yan Saburo in August, and she must have seen it in March, but she didn't even recognize it.

March also realized that he was about to be rowed out of Xianyu, and his face turned white in a hurry - Xianyu has a big problem, that is, he can't recognize people's faces, so he often makes jokes, and March doesn't want to be misunderstood to have such shortcomings.
