Chapter 21: The Mountain Rain is Coming

Although he was mentally prepared, Ye Haixuan was still shocked when he saw He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao carrying it back. I've never eaten such wild vegetables. But there's another look forward to tonight's meal.

"Ye Gongzi, why did you come in, where is the kitchen where you can stay?" He Xiaoxiao was lighting the fire, and when he turned back to get firewood, he was frightened when he saw Ye Haixuan coming in.

"Ye Gongzi, even if I, a country girl who has never read a book, has heard that 'a gentleman cooks far away', the meal will be ready immediately, you better go out and wait." He Jingjing thought that the kitchen was a little crowded after Ye Haixuan came, and said to Ye Haixuan without raising his head while cutting vegetables.

"He Jingjing, are you so afraid that my son will see you cook? Do you want to drug me in the meal?"

He Jingjing laughed out loud this time and said to Ye Haixuan, "Young Master Ye, please." ”

I saw He Jingjing first put the dandelion in the pot and boiled, then slice the lettuce, shred the potatoes, cut the eggplant into strips, and after a while, all the dishes were ready.

He Jingjing fished out the dandelion first, and then put the rest of the water into a large vat. Throw it in while it's hot, and soak a handful of dried honeysuckle.

After blanching, chop the dandelions, add peanuts, rice and garlic, a pinch of sesame seeds, pepper and pepper rings, and then heat the oil, and pour it on the ingredients when the oil begins to smoke slightly.

When you hear the sound of oil, the whole kitchen is suddenly filled with fragrance.

"Xiaoxiao, take these two out. He Jingjing turned her head and instructed He Xiaoxiao, who was burning the fire, and said, "Put the herbal tea outside the house to cool, and then bring it in and add some honey when it is cool." ”

"Eh!" He Xiaoxiao replied.

After that, He Jingjing blanched the toon and elm money separately, and prepared two bowls, one bowl was mixed with batter, and the other bowl was beaten with eggs.

Chop the blanched toon and throw it into the egg, add a little salt to taste, heat the oil, and put in the adjusted toon egg liquid when the oil temperature is 60% hot. He Jingjing borrowed from the "thick egg roast" method of the Sun Country next door, and made the toon eggs into the thick egg roast of toon eggs.

"He Jingjing, your eggs are rolled up and boiled before they are fully cooked, is this something for people to eat?" Ye Haixuan obviously had never seen the practice of thick egg roasting.

"Can you eat it, won't you know if you try it later?" He Jingjing was immersed in the joy of cooking, and had no time to explain at this time.

Then wrap the elm money in batter and put it in an oil pan to fry.

Scoop it up and let it cool a little, then sprinkle in the pepper and salt. Chinese food pays attention to heat, and a seemingly simple dish contains a precise control of time.

When He Jingjing turned around and was about to let He Xiaoxiao take the dishes out again, she found that Ye Haixuan had already gone out at some point. He Jingjing shrugged, didn't take it seriously, and continued to make braised eggplant and osmanthus chicken head rice soup.

There were a lot of people, and I was afraid that everyone would be hungry after waiting too long, so He Jingjing only made four dishes and one soup, but the portions were very sufficient. Each dish is served in a pot.

"It's time to eat!" He Xiaoxiao set up the table, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and beckoned everyone to eat. There is a difference in the status of Ye Haixuan and the domestic servants, so the domestic servants all took the dishes and chopsticks and squatted on the side to eat. There were only Ye Haixuan and the He family of four on the dining table.

Ye Haixuan sat on the main seat, and stretched out his hand to clamp the toon thick egg burner. The moment he entered the mouth, the fragrance of toon eggs was brought into full play, and the smooth and tender taste flowed between his lips and teeth, Ye Haixuan was amazed by this dish.

Immediately afterwards, I tried the salad dandelion. This dish is as spicy as expected, and with the slightly bitter taste of dandelion, it has an unstoppable power.

Ye Haixuan tasted everything again. sighed in my heart, this trip was really not in vain.

"How is it, Ye Gongzi. He Jingjing said that Ye Haixuan was withdrawn from the deliciousness.

Ye Haixuan cleared his throat and said, "It's okay, there is still room for improvement." ”

When He Jingjing heard this, she frowned, could it be that the heat was not right today? So she picked up the chopsticks and tried every dish. That's right, that's what it smells like.

He Jingjing looked up at Ye Haixuan's eating with relish, and realized that he was being teased. I didn't say anything, and I started eating happily.

"It's the best dish I've ever eaten in my life!"

"Me too, this eggplant didn't say it was an eggplant, I thought it was meat!"

"This girl He is really amazing, no wonder the young master wants to invite her back to Haixuan Pavilion......"

Although the servants stood far away and their voices were very small, they were still heard by He Jingjing, and He Jingjing was in a good mood at the moment. After all, who doesn't like to be praised for themselves?

After being full of wine and food, He Jingjing left the recipe to Ye Haixuan. But Ye Haixuan's enthusiasm for recipes is obviously much less than before.

"Ye Gongzi, it's fine in the kitchen, and the smoke is not big, why did you go out halfway?" When Ye Haixuan was leaving, He Jingjing couldn't help but ask.

"Because there's no need to look any further. Ye Haixuan turned his head and took a deep look at He Jingjing and said.

He Jingjing shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand.

"Your method of making it is new, but simple. Recipes are easy to obtain, but good talents are hard to find. Your mastery of the heat has surpassed that of the best chefs in Haixuan Pavilion. Ye Haixuan paused and continued: "Sometimes I really don't understand, it takes at least twenty or thirty years for ordinary people to practice such a skill, how can you practice a little girl in the countryside who doesn't have a master to lead you in, and you don't have enough experience. ”

When He Jingjing heard this, her face turned red, she turned her head to look away and said, "It's probably talent." ”

"You're not humble at all. Ye Haixuan sneered and rode away.

After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, He Jingjing sorted out her thoughts and invited her parents to the table.

"Dad, mother, I have something I want to tell you. He Jingjing said slowly.

"If you have any concerns with your parents, just talk about it. Zhao looked at his daughter lovingly.

"I discussed it with Ye Gongzi, and I will go to Haixuan Pavilion to help in a few days. ”

"It's a good thing, your father is the one who works at home. He Dayou said loudly.

He Jingjing looked at the emaciated parents in front of her, and her nose was sour for no reason.

"But Dad, Haixuan Pavilion is in the city, dozens of miles away from home. What if Niu Dahu comes to find fault and burn down our house again?" He Jingjing sighed and continued: "Besides, my father has to go to work in the fields during the day, and my younger brothers and sisters are still young, so how can my mother manage the family alone." ”

"Eldest sister, I can help my mother take care of the family. At this time, He Xiaoxiao suddenly came to He Jingjing's side and said.

"I know that Xiaoxiao is sensible and capable, but you are still young after all, and my mother and eldest sister are reluctant to bear such a heavy burden. He Jingjing turned around and touched He Xiaoxiao's head.

"So, Daddy, I only went to Haixuan Pavilion to help for a few days, which can be regarded as returning Ye Gongzi's favor. ”

He Dayou and Zhao were silent, after all, their daughter had grown up.

"When the things in Haixuan Pavilion are done, I plan to open a small restaurant at the entrance of the village. It is close to home and can supplement the home. He Jingjing smiled and said to He Dayou and Zhao.

"No, it's absolutely not going to work!"
