Chapter 329: Gluttony

"Brother-in-law, he's just worrying, how can I be so useless!"

When Zhu Ying told Zhu Er's original words with a smile, Zhu Ergongzi was suddenly a little annoyed. However, under Zhu Ying's playful gaze, he unconsciously remembered that he was indeed turned around by the old salted fish branch when he escaped before, and entered the palace in a daze.

So, he touched his nose embarrassedly, and then whispered: "I have long seen that the old boy has a lot of secrets, don't look at him and look lean, in fact, the flesh on his body is very strong, and his strength is also great...... How could I underestimate him? If he wants to provoke me to do something, I'll have to consult with you. ”

"Second brother, it's good that you know." Zhu Ying nodded with a smile, and then said and quipped, "I asked the eldest brother to think about who is suitable to be my sister-in-law, and as for the second brother, you don't have to worry." With such a 'good' thing you did in Cangzhou this time, after you return to Beijing, the marriage that the emperor personally said to the matchmaker will definitely be successful. ”

"You wait...... Wait a minute! Zhu Erden gasped, and hurriedly grabbed Zhu Ying's arm desperately, his face full of nervousness, "Yingying, you said last time that my marriage was eyebrow-like, but you only said half of it, you have to explain it to me clearly this time!" Which girl did the emperor tell me? My requirements are not as high as Zhang Chen...... But I can't lose to Lu San's dead fat man! ”

"I know Zhang Chen's kid, don't want a good wife and mother, he wants to be a maverick...... But I'm different, I want a good wife and a good mother, the more virtuous the better! "My own powerful grandmother, stepmother, and sister...... He's had enough!

Zhu Ying glanced at Zhu Er up and down, and then quietly broke free of his claws, and then said word by word: "Don't worry, people are virtuous and capable, they can go to the hall, they can go down to the kitchen, they are all good at cooking, and they are all first-class among the elders and peers...... Anyway, it is countless times stronger than me, an arrogant and willful, domineering and rude lady! ”

Hearing Zhu Ying's last two nouns to describe herself, Zhu Er, who had just landed on the boulder in his heart, couldn't help muttering in his heart, and hurriedly smiled: "How can this be?" There is no better ...... in the world than my sister."

"Okay, I don't need you to please me, you're not Ah Shou!" Zhu Ying smiled, and when she saw that the old salted fish had come out of the kitchen, she rolled her eyes and said, "In short, I will give you a difficult task, since you have been in the same boat with the old salted fish once, he will definitely not be too wary of you, you have nothing to mess with him these days, what news do you have to tell me." ”

Although Zhu Er swore that he would not be deceived, he actually didn't want to deal with the treacherous old salted fish at all, and was about to shirk it, but he only heard Zhu Ying yawn and said: "I have more experience in dealing with children than you, I'll tease the little peanut." ”

Seeing Zhu Ying walking straight towards the little peanut who was standing alone in the corner of the yard in a daze, he said that the person was red-faced in a few words, and then he was in tears, he could only resign himself to the old salted fish, but he had a little more confidence in his heart.

Now that he is the one who has the support of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, you old salted fish, don't want to deceive me again!

In the kitchen, the bird occupied the dove's nest and retired the cook, all the side dishes had been prepared, and when he was about to put it into the pot, Zhang Shou inadvertently glanced at the door, and saw Ah Liu standing quietly next to the gap in the door curtain, his eyes motionless observing the outside. At this moment, he only felt that the young man was like a poisonous snake peeping into the shadows and preparing to hunt the prey...... No, leopard!

Because Ah Liu is really not poisonous, but the cheetah's quiet and moving like a rabbit is the biggest trait of a teenager.

Although he wanted to make fun of people, he thought about it, and finally dispelled this idea, turned back again to look at the side dishes prepared on the plate in front of him, and then sighed in his heart.

Probably because he mentioned a sweet potato before, today the old salted fish really brought two sweet potatoes over, however, just now he washed and steamed one, cut it to see the color, the fiber, he felt disappointed, no wonder his parents who had experienced that difficult era in his previous life hated eating sweet potatoes and corn and other things.

Because the variety is the most common variety, plus eating it all day long, no matter how delicious it is, it is tired, not to mention that it is really not delicious! Hard, slag ...... In short, it doesn't taste right! In this way, there is only one way to turn back, and that is to ask Lao Salted Fish if the cassava has been brought from overseas to grow, and without cassava flour, it is difficult to even make taro balls...... Because only tapioca flour is made into taro balls, the taste is Q elastic.

Don't ask him how he knows, in his previous life, he couldn't afford to be hurt by his mother's man who was used to eating desserts......

Fortunately, although the tomato variety is far less than the improved in later generations, but there is no other problem except that it is too sour, he barely recovered and restored seventy percent of the taste, a plate of tomato scrambled eggs was made, he pulled a small plate, tasted two bites, and felt that he could have seven or eight percent of the level, did not degrade too much, and was finally slightly satisfied.

He coughed, and when Ah Liu turned to look over, he ordered: "You go outside and ask them to set up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, don't just talk and get ready to eat!" ”

Ah Liu didn't agree immediately, but stepped forward to look at the table next to the stove, and saw that the plate of tomato scrambled eggs was being placed there in bright colors, so he quickly glanced at Zhang Shou, and then quickly took a clean porcelain spoon from the side, and directly put it in his mouth.

When this spoonful of tomato scrambled eggs was in his stomach, he saw Zhang Shou stunned, so he smiled shyly: "It's delicious." ”

"You kid stop me!" Seeing that Ah Liu directly copied the huge plate and ran out of the kitchen, Zhang Shou suddenly became angry. If Zhu Ying, who loves to play tricks, Zhu Er, who doesn't take the usual path, does this kind of thing, he is still mentally prepared, even if the old salted fish and small peanuts that he has tasted are going to be eaten secretly, he will not feel strange, because the old and the young have never eaten good things.

But Ah Liu...... When this kid was in the village, when he was training Aunt Liu as a cook, he watched it I don't know how many times, and he never ate less, so he actually came to play this set! This kid definitely did it on purpose!

Although he was angry and funny, Zhang Shou didn't chase after Ah Liu, who was like a rabbit, in vain, but only turned around and continued to the next dish. Considering the variety of chili peppers provided by Lao Salted Fish and the adaptability of other people, he did not choose to make Gong Bao Chicken again, this time trying Babao Hot Sauce.

As for the shrimp...... Fortunately, Cangzhou is close to the sea, and it is the palace at the apex of everyone, but all good things are dedicated here, even if the eldest prince is now under house arrest, and the main thing stationed in the palace is the Rui cavalry camp, which is no exception, all kinds of meat, eggs, vegetables and vegetables are in sufficient supply, and even fish and shrimp are available. Zhang Shou just fished one or twenty live shrimp and peeled shrimp directly from a bucket of seawater.

When this plate of Babao hot sauce came out, Zhang Shou heard a faint voice behind him: "It's all finished......

Hearing that it was Ah Liu, he was immediately angry, and he didn't even look back, he directly prepared another small porcelain plate for himself, and directly cut out a quarter of it with a spoonful, and then re-distributed the remaining Babao hot sauce evenly on the plate, and then handed it back.

"Go eat, you fresh starving ghosts...... You don't have to leave it for me, I'll eat it by the stove first! ”

Seeing Ah Liu, he didn't say a word, took the plate and went out. Zhang Shou scooped the eight-treasure hot sauce with a spoon and sent it to his mouth, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the palace fried chicken that has certain requirements for the spiciness, the sweet and spicy taste of Babao hot sauce is relatively easy to make......

Of course, he is actually a little strange, for later generations of northerners, sweetened tomato scrambled eggs are heretical, and now Zhu Ying and Zhu Er are in contact with tomatoes for the first time, and they can actually eat them cleanly?

At present, the sweet and spicy taste of the eight-treasure hot sauce that Ah Liu brought out at this time is actually not what everyone likes......

Alas, when will there be varieties with a high degree of spiciness, such as millet pepper Chaotian pepper and five-claw spicy...... Without these peppers with enough spiciness, spicy is easy to do, but the heavier spicy and spicy ones are not to be considered. With such a little chili brought by the old salted fish, don't even think about making boiled fish and sauerkraut fish...... So he was planning to make fish in a different way.

Zhang Shou thought about it, while skillfully pouring oil into the pot, and after the oil temperature was suitable, he carried the mandarin fish that rolled over the starch after changing the knife, poured oil and formed it, and then fried it in the pot. After seeing that the fish was golden and should be almost there, he hurriedly scooped it up, and by the way, fried the fish head in the pot and fried it.

When a fish barely made a decent pose, he first added sugar to boil tomato juice, and then added green beans and shrimp to the taste, and then poured the sauce evenly over the whole fish.

He hadn't tasted this squirrel mandarin fish for four years, and at this time, he carefully took a chopstick fish from his tail without destroying the appearance, although he felt that there was still a gap with the taste before, he still couldn't help but sigh.

When I once had it, I took everything for granted, but when I lost it, I felt precious...... This kind of mentality is true for people, for things, and even more so for food.

It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. It is better to live without bamboo than without peanuts. It is better to have no peanuts than no tomatoes. It is better to have no tomato than no corn. It is better to have no corn than no potatoes. It is better to have no potatoes than no lobsters. It is better to have no lobster than no chili pepper......

Fortunately, Ah Liu had the heart to remember these words and phrases he casually recited at that time, otherwise he might not be able to taste this familiar taste in this life until he died!

Zhang Shouzheng thought so, and was about to open his mouth to call Ah Liu to come in to marry the vegetables, but when he turned his head, he saw the door curtain quietly raised high, and then a familiar figure flashed in silently. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he thought he would have thought he had seen a real ghost. When Ah Liu stood still and stared at him, he pointed to the table angrily.

And Ah Liuer strode forward without saying a word, and saw that the fish on the plate was only missing a small piece of meat on the tail, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shou with some surprise, and then glanced at the scaled knife next to him. He suddenly reached out and fished out the knife like lightning, and a cold light went down, and directly chopped off half of the fishtail and distributed it into another small porcelain dish.

Zhang Shou saw this scene before he could stop it, and immediately covered his eyes and groaned, and then scolded angrily: "Do you know how difficult it is for this fish to be fried?" Your knife is simple, and it directly wasted my hard work for so long! Did you know that this is the only mandarin fish in the palace...... The only fish left are herring and other fish with many spines! ”

"No matter how important the fish is, no one is important."

Ah Liu said it seriously, and seeing Zhang Shou's expression full of tears and laughter, he walked out with the plate of squirrel mandarin fish that was only half out of shape, and waited until the top of the door before saying, "I don't cut it, and the eldest lady will cut half of it and send it back!" ”

This kid!

Zhang Shou sighed deeply, but looking at the small half of the fishtail, he was still not polite - cooks who cook every day generally don't like to cook when they get home, and they don't often eat their own dishes, after all, the taste is not edible. But he is different, he learned to cook just to make a fool of himself, and now he is hungry, since Ah Liu has ruined the appearance of that dish, how can he be polite?

After eliminating the fishtail in three or two strokes, Zhang Shou wiped his hands, and then aimed at the cornmeal on the side. If this thing is to come in handy, it will have to be ground several times with a stone mill at least and then sifted through the finest sieve...... The last premise is that when making steamed buns, a large amount of flour should be mixed with them. In later generations, the so-called corn steamed bread and sorghum steamed bread actually have the composition of miscellaneous grains in which God knows.

Because the fine noodles are mixed with more, they are delicious and sweet! So, let's wait for the next time, otherwise it will become a bittersweet memory.

Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but then like the day before, he fried a vinegared shredded potato, and then made a dish of grandma potato puree, which was also made of potatoes...... By the time seven or eight dishes were finished in the blink of an eye, he himself was almost full, and he was not in the mood to clean up these pots and pans, and after washing his hands, he walked straight out.

Before he could lift the greasy curtain, he heard the voice of the old salted fish.

"Hey, I can eat such delicious food for two days in a row, I really die without regrets in my life! I used to grow one of these things myself, and I thought about how to eat them, mostly boiled, chilled, and steamed...... I fried it in the sky, I really didn't expect it to be so matched, think about how violent I used to be! ”

Zhang Shou was slightly stunned for a moment, and stood in front of the door, followed by him, he heard from the tone of the old salted fish, and the person seemed to be beating his chest there: "I knew that these things could be turned into so many delicious dishes, how could I have to open up dozens of acres of wasteland, at least I have a full tongue...... Hey, I've made up my mind, I'll go to the capital, and I'll be damned by God for spoiling such a good kind of food! ”

Although he didn't know if this old salted fish really bent over two meals, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least, let Zhu Er follow him to see other people's secret gardens, it shouldn't be a problem! It took two meals of effort to get the ingredients that would have taken at least a few hundred years to be introduced to China, as well as the clues of Emperor Taizu, and he made a lot of money!
