Chapter 594: The Green Dragon Lies in the Snow
Since the beginning of summer, the temperature in the capital has become hotter and hotter day by day, and mosquitoes have gradually multiplied. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 During dinner, Tingyuxuan's two girls cleaned up Zhu Ping'an's bedroom, lit wormwood, and lit incense to prevent mosquito bites from disturbing the night's sleep.
Little Lori Niuniu and bear child Li Yan congratulated Zhu Ping'an's dinner, and the two of them fell in love with the pickled cucumbers that Zhu Ping'an brought from home, and they also drank a bowl of porridge more than usual, which made Zijuan, who came to pick up the two little ones, widen her eyes in surprise.
She knew how difficult these two little ancestors were, if there was no old ancestor staring, letting them eat would be like a war, every time they tossed and abandoned their armor and sweated profusely, these two little ancestors barely ate to their stomachs, and the amount of food was very small, more to eat snacks to fill their stomachs.
But now, these two picky and difficult little ancestors actually ate two bowls of porridge, and they didn't need anyone to take care of them, especially Young Master Gong, who ate two big oil cakes by himself, which is unimaginable in normal times.
Zijuan knew that the key to the two little ancestors' such good appetite was the small inconspicuous jar of pickled cucumbers on the table.
At this moment, she looked at the pickled cucumber on the table, and she was also eager.
The reason is simple.
Since the beginning of summer, the weather has become hotter, and the appetite of the old lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion has also decreased a lot, and the amount of food is less than half of the usual. The old lady is old, and she can't use the crushed ice porridge to cool the heat, so the girls such as Zijuan, who took care of the old lady, are also worried.
Now I see that Xiao Lori and Young Master Gong, who are famous for not liking to eat, eat pickled cucumbers, and use an extra bowl of porridge, so Zijuan looks at pickled cucumbers as if she has seen a panacea.
"Uncle, can you let the maid taste this delicacy......
Zijuan pointed to the emerald green and lovely pickled cucumber on the table, and looked at Zhu Ping'an eagerly with her eyes, and she didn't know that she thought this girl was spring.
Delicacies? Oh, if my mother knew that someone said that her pickled country pickles were a delicacy, she would definitely laugh "modestly" and show off her pickled cucumbers all over the village......
"Of course."
Zhu Ping'an nodded and made a gesture of please, someone could appreciate the pickled cucumbers made by his mother, and Zhu Ping'an was also happy in his heart.
Zijuan thanked her excitedly, then took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a cucumber strip, and then slowly put it in her mouth and chewed it gently......
Crunchy
Then there was an instant shock to the delicate body, and a layer of blush was covered on his face......
This taste is really incredible, the first time I have tasted this taste, this dish is my own taste, unprecedented crisp and delicious, this cucumber is sweet and sour, sweet and spicy, the sauce is fragrant, sweet and sour, refreshing and delicious, appetizing and eating.
The taste is magical, and you can't help but want to take one bite after another, and you can't stop it.
After eating such a cucumber strip, Zijuan's eyes were hot when she saw the porridge on the table, and she really couldn't help but want to drink a bowl and another bowl......
So, Zijuan couldn't help but make up for the old lady's appearance of eating pickled cucumbers and drinking porridge and couldn't stop, and when she thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but glow green......
"Uncle, this delicacy is really delicious, sweet and sour, appetizing. Recently, in the summer, the old lady's appetite is not as good as day by day, and the maid is also worried day by day. The maid has a reluctant request, can my uncle tell the maid where you bought this delicacy? Zijuan looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes and asked eagerly.
Zhu Ping'an shook his head.
Zijuan was stunned, she didn't expect her uncle to refuse her.
Looking at Zijuan's stunned appearance, Zhu Ping'an smiled softly and explained, "It's not that I don't tell you where I bought it, but even if I tell you, you can't buy it, because it's not bought, it's pickled by my mother at home." ”
"It turned out that Mrs. pickled it at home......" Zijuan was stunned, thinking that she had found a delicacy dish that made the old lady appetize, but this side dish was actually pickled by her aunt and mother at home.
Gentleman is far away from cooking! What's more, my uncle is still a scholar, how can I care about this trivial matter of pickling cucumbers, my uncle definitely doesn't know how to pickle them.
Obviously, the panacea is in front of you, but you just can't get it, this feeling is the most disappointing, and Zijuan has a deep understanding of this at the moment.
"I didn't know how to do it, but my mother knew the methods and steps when she was pickling. You can try to marinate your own ......" When Zijuan was stunned, a voice like heaven sounded in her ears.
"Ah, really?" Zijuan's face was full of joy and smiled.
"If you read it a lot, you will naturally remember it. There are a few things to pay attention to, and it's actually quite simple. Zhu Ping'an nodded.
"Then the maid should ask the aunt for advice, and the uncle should not be dull." Zijuan giggled, then put her hands on her left waist and bent her knees for a blessing.
The bear child next to him saw this scene, and the little fat hand pulled the little Lori next to him, lowered his head and whispered in disgust, "The smile is the same as when my aunt saw my father at night......"
Although the sound is small, it is not big in the room, and it can still be heard.
When Zijuan on the side heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "My little master, don't talk nonsense, the maid doesn't have the guts." ”
is worthy of being the big girl next to the old lady, this on-the-spot adaptability is worthy of praise, so with a smile, it will be nothing. Even if outsiders know about it, they will also feel that it is a child's words.
"In terms of ingredients, cucumbers, carrots, soy sauce, white wine, rock sugar, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon and peppers, if you want to grasp the amount, you have to grasp it yourself, and let the experienced chef in the kitchen try it a few more times."
"After selecting fresh cucumbers and carrots, cut them into strips, sprinkle them with salt and mix well, press them with a heavy object, and squeeze out as much water as possible from the cucumbers......
Zhu Ping'an touched the bear child's head, smiled softly, and then recalled his mother's method of pickling cucumbers. Zijuan on the side listened attentively, often listened to the instructions of the old lady in front of the old lady, and his ability to remember things also improved a lot, and he memorized the method of pickling cucumbers carefully.
"Oh, one thing must be remembered, whether it is utensils or during the pickling process, you must not get wet water, and you must use cool boiled water, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria." After finishing speaking, Zhu Ping'an emphasized again.
"Bacteria?" Zijuan was stunned, confused, what was a bacterium.
"Oh, it's the dialect of our hometown, it's very simple, it's easy to get sick when you drink cold water, and you won't get cold boiled water. Pickled pickles are eventually meant to be eaten, so use cool, plain water. Zhu Ping'an explained casually.
Are bacteria sick?
Bacteria, sick, well, it seems like that. Zijuan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Uncle, what's the name of this delicacy?" Zijuan asked after trying to write down the pickling process.
"Pickled cucumbers." Zhu Ping'an replied without thinking about it.
"Pickled cucumber ......" Zijuan repeated when she heard the words, pouted, and felt that such a delicious and delicious dish was called by the name, which was too aggrieved, and the other thing was that this delicacy side dish was called this name, I am afraid that the old lady would have no appetite when she heard it.
"Oh?" Zhu Ping'an glanced at it and knew what was going on, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Or you can also call it a jade cucumber, or a jade plate pickled cucumber, or a green dragon lying in the snow, or a dragon and a phoenix ......" (to be continued.) )
