Chapter 18: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Mutton soup is the most popular broth among Tang people, and mutton is also the most eaten meat by big guys.

It may even be that even chickens and ducks are not as good as the amount of mutton consumed.

But Wei Renshi had never drunk the mutton soup of the Tang Dynasty, and he had not even been able to eat a sturdy mutton.

It's just that on Wang Laohan's Hu cake, I have eaten a little bit of minced mutton foam.

So how could Wei Renshi, who has always been greedy, live up to this rare opportunity to treat himself.

Replace it with a small clean kettle, spread a low heat underneath, throw a handful of salt and a handful of crushed pepper into a dry sauté to make a pepper and salt, and then sprinkle evenly on the freshly brewing lamb chops.

When you open your mouth and bite into it, the soft and glutinous mutton will immediately gush out a fragrant broth as soon as it touches your teeth, filling your mouth with flavor.

With a gentle pull, a long piece of mutton was slowly torn off along the ribs, mixed with the unique aroma of the mutton, mixed with the special smell of spices, a hint of fresh saltiness, stirring a touch of sweetness, and combined with the stimulation of spices. All the sensations burst together on the tongue in an instant, resulting in a rich, amazing delicacy.

"This ......" Zheng Li was staring at the mutton bone in his hand in disbelief, and the shock on his face was undisguised.

"Taste the soup again." Wei Renshi smiled and handed a bowl of prepared soup to Zheng Lizheng.

Zheng Lizheng took it, blew it, and then brought it to his lips and took a sip.

"Hmm!" The look on his face made Wei Renshi smile brightly.

"What's going on?" Wei Renshi asked.

Zheng Li put the bowl down, slapped his thigh hard, and said with absolute certainty: "It can be done!" Absolutely! Not to mention the cakes, just this mouthful of soup, Wang Laohan has already lost! ”

Li He and Li Rong, who had been gobbling up for a long time, turned their heads when they heard this.

Li He, the little adult, didn't care about the manners, wiped his mouth directly, handed the bowl to Wei Renshi, and said, "Another bowl - what Wang Laohan has already lost?" ”

"I'll go and make a bet with Wang Laohan, who sells Hu cakes in Fuchang City, and after half a month, I'll try to compete with him to see who makes it delicious." Wei Renshi said as he pointed to the spices and spices he had picked up next to him, and said, "With these things, the taste he makes is naturally not as good as mine." Uncle Zheng, you said that after half a month, the people of Fuchang will know that I won Wang Laohan with these things, will those big families with good mouths come to buy them? ”

"The business you said about eating that day was going to sell this?" Zheng Lizheng remembered, so he asked.

Wei Renshi nodded.

Zheng Lizheng even understood, and said: "It turns out that you made an appointment with that old man Wang, and you had such an idea!" When the time comes, as soon as you win, mention these things again, and the people of Manfu Changcheng will know that you won Wang Laohan with this thing, so they will naturally buy it back and try it with some novelty. After trying it, if you find that the taste has really improved, you will naturally buy it again. Once a person's mouth is eaten, it is not easy to change it back, so this thing can be sold forever. ”

"Uncle Zheng understands it." Wei Renshi nodded and smiled.

"Wei Langjun is really a strange person!" Zheng Lizheng praised: "I was able to write poems and understand knowledge earlier, but now it is so practical, I have changed the plough and made a watering mechanism." Now I can cook again, it's amazing! Could it be that there is such knowledge in this book? ”

Wei Renshi smiled but didn't answer, and looked at the sky, it was already noon.

"Lang Jun?" There was a sudden shout outside the door, and Wei Renshi immediately heard that it was Xi'er's voice.

Before Wei Renshi could get up, Li Rong had already bounced up from his seat and went over to open the door.

Xi'er stood outside, followed by a huge body, it was Jiao Haiqing, the Langjun of the Jiao family.

At this moment, he was panting and sweating profusely, and on a spring day that was not too hot, he even sweated a lot of his collar.

"Caught up! Caught up! It's noon right now, and I'm going to Brother Renshi's house first, so it's not too late! While panting, he hurriedly explained to Wei Renshi inside.

Zheng Lizheng, Li He and Li Rong were all puzzled, Wei Renshi stood up and said, "Brother Jiao is really a person who believes in his word. I don't know what Brother Jiao ate in the morning? ”

Jiao Haiqing was in a hurry to explain, for fear that Wei Renshi would be too late to think of him again, so he didn't pay attention. At this time, when I heard Wei Renshi ask, I realized that the surroundings were full of a strange smell of meat. He consciously ate all the food in the world, but he never smelled this aroma.

"It smells so good!" Jiao Haiqing raised his hand at the door and said, "I don't know who is the owner of the house, I'm sorry!" ”

After that, without waiting for a response, he walked in and found the cauldron.

"Xiangji! Fragrant! Jiao Haiqing sniffed hard and shouted, his expression was like that of an addict seeing a white face, and Li He and Li Rong both subconsciously stepped back.

Wei Renshi put aside the oil and scooped out a small bowl of clear soup, cut a few slices of meat and put it in, cut a piece of shredded cake for him, and said, "Brother Jiao's lunch today is this, don't eat more after eating." ”

Jiao Haiqing didn't care about etiquette anymore, he took things from Wei Renshi's hand as if he was robbing, and he was about to gobble them up when he simply stood up.

"Wait." Wei Renshi said again: "Brother Jiao can only eat so much for lunch, it's better to eat slowly, and he can taste more flavors, otherwise a few bites will be gone, wouldn't it be a pity." ”

Everyone was puzzled, staring at Wei Renshi, Wei Renshi explained: "Brother Jiao is a little too fat, so he asked me to help him lose weight." ”

"Jiao ......" Tian Li was looking at Jiao Haiqing and guessed: "Isn't it Jiao Mansion in Fuchang City......"

"Delicious! Delicious! Without waiting for Wei Renshi to answer, Jiao Haiqing over there had already shouted loudly: "I have never eaten such delicious mutton soup!" ”

"When people are hungry, everything they eat is delicious." Wei Renshi smiled and asked again, "Brother Jiao, can you bring your cook?" ”

Jiao Haiqing stuffed something in his mouth, and when he heard Wei Renshi ask him, he hurriedly swallowed, and then replied, "It's here!" Here it comes! ”

"Okay, then I'll tell your cook how to arrange your meal. When you get home, be sure to eat what he cooked. Wei Renshi said: "I have been a little busy these days, and then I will go to the mountains to find you some herbs, and you can bring them back to soak in water and drink, which may relieve your hyperblood." ”

"Thank you, Brother Renshi, for your trouble." Jiao Haiqing said, a bowl of mutton soup has been wiped out. As he spoke, he stared at the broth in the kettle.

Wei Renshi deliberately pretended not to see it, served a bowl to Xi'er, and gave her two pork ribs, so that she could also relieve her hunger.

Jiao Haiqing's eyes were straight, and he couldn't close his mouth at all, so he almost drooled from it.

"Brother Renshi, I'll just taste it! Really, just one bite! Jiao Haiqing turned his head and said.

"But Brother Jiao has already drunk the broth." Wei Renshi deliberately showed a difficult look, thought about it, and said: "In this way, if Brother Jiao can still come from home to my son tomorrow at noon, I will make another one for Brother Jiao to taste." ”

"Good! Ok, good, good! Jiao Haiqing nodded hurriedly: "I will definitely come back tomorrow!" ”

Wei Renshi was in a good mood, not only experimented with the effect of the seasoning, but also tempted Jiao Haiqing with this delicacy, so that he walked at both ends to strengthen his exercise, killing two birds with one stone.
