Chapter 60 Wine and Food Touch
Huangfu
Although Yan Kui has come more than once, every time he visits here, looking at this vast and exquisite mansion, he can't help but feel a little sour and jealous in his heart.
Huang Dahu didn't know Yan Kui's psychological activities, came to the main gate, threw the horsewhip to the door who came to greet him, Huang Dahu pulled Yan Kui and went straight to the main hall, just halfway through, the Liang family, who had already received the news, came over with a bunch of maids to greet him.
"Yan Kui has seen my sister-in-law."
Yan Kui knew the Liang family, every time he came to the Huang Mansion, the Liang family would personally come out to entertain him, and because he had dealt with him so many times, Yan Kui knew that although this woman looked soft and weak, she had an idea in her bones, and she was not an ordinary woman in a deep house.
"Alas, Brother Yan, you are here, your eldest brother has been talking about you next to our mother these days, and our ears are calloused, when you come home today, you must accompany your eldest brother to have a few drinks."
After the last conversation with Huang Dahu, Liang raised Yan Kui's status by a few percent in his heart, and the frequent successes in recent days have made Liang confirm his thoughts.
Yan Kui is very brave, the future is unlimited, his husband can only be friends with him, and he must not be an enemy.
With this thought, Liang saw that Huang Dahu took the initiative to invite Yan Kui to his home, and he was really happy in his heart, and he was also enthusiastic when he greeted Yan Kui.
…………
Huang Dahu has been watching, and after Liang and Yan Kui finished greetings, he touched the black beard under his chin and said to his wife.
"Brother Fang Cai also told me that he likes to eat the eight-treasure meat you made, and you will go and cook it yourself in a while, and get a few more dishes for me and my brother to drink."
Liang naturally did not say anything to refuse, and immediately agreed, but Yan Kui was a little embarrassed.
"The younger brother is greedy for a while, and he has to bother his sister-in-law to make a trip, which is really not right."
"Where's that?"
Liang waved his hand: "I'm a country man, I haven't been able to get on the table in the past, my brother loves to eat, but I have made my sister-in-law famous." ”
After that, the Liang family arranged for his subordinates to arrange the banquet, and then asked Yan Kui and Huang Dahu to go to the side hall to wait for a while, and go to the kitchen to cook the dishes himself.
Looking at the figure of the Liang family arranging things in a few words and leaving in a hurry, Yan Kui gave Huang Dahu a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law is so capable, don't let the man, the eldest brother is really a blessing." ”
Huang Dahu smiled, it was rare that he didn't say kind words, which showed that he agreed with Yan Kui's words.
………
Led by the people of the Huang Mansion, Huang Dahu and Yan Kui came to the side hall arranged by the Liang family just now, and as soon as the two of them sat down, they immediately sent tea and snacks, which provoked Yan Kui to praise Liang's proper handling of things.
Picking up the teacup, Huang Dahu took a sip of tea and looked at Yan Kui: "I've been busy with official business recently, and I haven't been able to take time to take a look, and I don't know how our father and mother are doing." ”
Because Yan Kui and Huang Dahu are friends for eight worships, they have always called each other's parents godfather and godmother, or called father and mother.
"I haven't been back home often lately, but the third child came once a month ago, saying that everything was okay at home, and that I had planned to go home to visit my parents after welcoming the bandit army, but now it seems that this time to go home has become rich." Yan Kui replied.
Huang Dahu smiled funny, and did not dwell on the matter of suppressing bandits, and followed Yan Kui's words: "Now my brother can be regarded as having a successful career, but I have thought of taking my parents to live in the county seat, after all, the conditions in the countryside are not superior to those in the city, and it is not convenient for my brothers to fulfill their filial piety." ”
Yan Kui said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my brother, I also thought about this matter before, but I haven't found time, and now I just take advantage of this truce opportunity, I plan to buy a house in the city, and the whole family will reunite in the county seat before winter this year." ”
"Okay."
Huang Dahu came to his senses when he heard this: "Brother has a fancy place, it's better to be like this, brother, I still have a house in Nancheng, three in and three out, close to the official road of the county seat, less than two quarters of an hour away from the city gate to ride a horse."
Tomorrow, I'll let my brother take a look, if you like it, just go to the county government and pass the house. ”
"Where does this make, no, no."
Nothing to be courteous, either treacherous or thief, although Yan Kui wants to have a good relationship with Huang Dahu, it does not mean that there is no precaution at all, and now Huang Dahu's exit is a set of three-in and three-out houses, worth no less than a thousand taels, there is no basis for it, where is Yan Kui willing to accept it.
…………
Yan Kui didn't accept it, but Huang Dahu rushed to give it, and the two sides sent me to push it in the side hall, and they were entangled for a long time before they knew it, and finally they heard the news and rushed to Liang to give an idea.
"A house of thousands of taels, it is indeed easy to be honest with Brother Yan for nothing, it is better to do this, brother go to see the house first, if you really think it is good, your sister-in-law will give you eight percent off, how not to fall into the hands of others, it can also be regarded as the filial piety of our couple to our godfather and godmother."
Liang's idea was to give Yan Kui and the two a step down, and the two glanced at each other and did as Liang said.
However, Yan Kui made up his mind in his heart, this house is really hot and can't be .........
Huang Dahu and his wife didn't know what Yan Kui was thinking, and after resolving the embarrassment of the house problem, the back kitchen also prepared the banquet almost, and the two guests of honor both entered the table, but the hostess of the Liang family excused herself for inconvenience and said goodbye and went back to the backyard.
on the table
Huang Dahu was ruthless to repair the relationship with Yan Kui this time, and the things on the banquet were all delicacies from the mountains and seas, strange and exotic treasures, whether they were delicious or not, but the importance of Yan Kui revealed was enough to give Yan Kui a glimpse of his sincerity.
Looking at Yan Kui, who was still looking at the dishes on the table, Huang Dahu showed a smile on his face, clapped his hands, and the two maids brought a small jar of black wine jar, Huang Dahu waved his hand, and the maid immediately opened the mud seal sealed on the wine jar, and soon, the entire main hall was filled with a pungent fragrance.
As mentioned earlier, Yan Kui understands wine, and as soon as this fragrance came out, he looked at the wine jar: "This is ........."
Huang Dahu smiled, let people take two white porcelain wine bowls, and then motioned to the maid to pour the wine, only to see, with the more and more intense fragrance, the wine poured in the wine bowl turned out to be black, covered with amber light, quite mysterious.
Huang Dahu looked at Yan Kui who was shocked, and couldn't help laughing: "This is the Wuhong wine of Gyeongju, the color is black, the taste is sweet and fresh, the fragrance smells outside, the mouth can not be described, according to legend, after the wine is brewed, it must be cellared for more than ten years before it can be out of the cellar, and each jar is worth at least ten taels of gold."
This Wuhong wine has been a tribute when the first emperor was in power, until now on the throne, the wine shop expanded, this wine slowly spread to the outside world, my brother knows that you love wine, so he asked someone to buy a jar in the city of Fucheng, and you and my brother drink together. ”
………
Tut~
Huang Dahu said happily, but Yan Kui listened to it directly, he loves wine, but he is not addicted to alcohol, on the contrary, seeing Huang Dahu spending a lot of money to buy wine, Yan Kui's first reaction is not to drink quickly, but to be wary of Huang Dahu's purpose.
It's no wonder that Yan Kui is vigilant, in his mind, Huang Dahu is still the image of the overlord of Qingyuan, and now he is sending a thousand taels of mansions, and he is buying wine with a lot of money just to have a meal with him, his posture is unprecedentedly low, Yan Kui is naturally a little hairy in his heart.
Huang Dahu didn't care whether Yan Kui felt hairy or not, he took a wine bowl full of Wuhong wine by himself, put it in front of Yan Kui, and diligently opened his mouth to persuade him to drink.
He was so enthusiastic, for the sake of face, Yan Kui was not easy to refuse, so he had to pick up the wine bowl and take a sip gently, but he didn't want the wine to enter his mouth, the liquid was like a paste, extremely fresh and beautiful, with a slight aftertaste, and a long fragrance.
"Good wine, good wine."
Yan Kui, who closed his eyes and tasted the aftertaste in his mouth, couldn't help but praise it.
Huang Dahu has been observing Yan Kui's reaction, and when he saw his praise, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and he picked up the bowl in front of him and took a sip, and his eyes lit up in an instant.
"These fifteen taels of gold are not wronged........."
…………
After tasting the wine, Huang Dahu beckoned Yan Kui to use the dishes, and the first dish was the eight-treasure meat made by the Liang family.
If you want to say that this eight-treasure meat, it can be regarded as some origin, Liang's grandmother was the chief chef of the Yongzhou Thorn History Mansion in the former dynasty, and she relied on this eight-treasure meat to entertain guests from all over the world for three generations of Yongzhou Thorn History, which was widely acclaimed.
Later, the previous dynasty fell, and Liang's grandmother also died of old age and illness, and passed this dish to Liang's mother before she died. Later, Liang's mother passed on this dish to Liang, which can be regarded as a three-generation family tradition.
To make this eight-treasure meat, first of all, there must be a pound of good two-knife meat, half of the fine and half of the fat, first roll the meat with boiling water until it is slightly cooked, and cut it into willow leaves with a knife.
Then prepare two taels of side dishes such as small mussels, two taels of eagle talons, one tael of mushrooms, two taels of flower jellyfish, four peeled walnut meat, four taels of bamboo shoots, two taels of good ham, and one tael of sesame oil.
When firing, put the meat into the pot first, put on the good autumn oil, rice wine and simmer until five minutes cooked, and then add the rest of the accessories, the jellyfish is at the end, simmer over low heat and only put it on the plate after it is cooked thoroughly, the finished product has an attractive color, the shape is like eight treasures, the taste of the food is soft and glutinous and there is a trace of tenacity, the taste is rich, the aftertaste is salty and sweet.
Yan Kui had also eaten a lot of good things in his previous life, but every time he tasted Liang's eight-treasure meat, he couldn't help but feel amazing, which showed that this dish was outstanding.
Paired with the high-quality glue mouth, fragrant and sweet Wuhong wine, even if Yan Kui was still wary of Huang Dahu in his heart, he couldn't help but relax his previous mustard because of his appetite satisfaction.
…………
Yan Kui boasts of his resolute personality, but he doesn't want to still fall for Liang's "wine and food plan", and gradually eliminated some past grudges against Huang Dahu psychologically.
However, there is a mistake, judging from the current situation, Yan Kui should not continue to have a grudge with Huang Dahu, and reconciliation between the two sides is the most correct choice.
Therefore, although Liang's plan was for her husband, it also solved Yan Kui's trouble, and when Yan Kui returned to the militia camp from Huangfu and realized the inside story of the matter, he couldn't help but cry and laugh on his face.
Who would have thought that the first good man in Qingyuan would be "planted" in the hands of a woman............
