Chapter 18: The Dream of the Dragon
Zhou Xiushu is synonymous with dignified and graceful in Du Sheng's mind, and she is usually kind and pleasant to the subordinates in the house, and she almost never even said anything serious.
Suddenly seeing her lose her temper, Du Sheng was really taken aback.
"Sheng'er, the kitchen is a place where dirt is hidden, how can you, as a dignified marquis, come to such a place! If you spread the word, how will the world see you? ”
Zhou Xiushu's heart was full of emotion, in order to make himself happy, her son was willing to do things like cooking that made people in the world despised.
With such a son, what is she not satisfied with?
"I heard it, if anyone dares to say this, Ben Hou will let people tear his mouth apart!"
"Mother, don't worry, they don't dare to say it."
After Du Sheng deliberately threatened everyone with a straight face and pretended to be vicious, he immediately comforted Zhou Xiushu with a smile.
"The slave and the maid don't dare, and the slave and the maid don't dare to say half a word when they kill the slave!"
"Don't worry, Master Hou, the villain will never dare to talk nonsense."
As soon as he got done, he hurriedly promised.
"Mother, you go aside to rest first, and the food that my son has made for you will be ready soon."
Before Zhou Xiushu continued to speak, Du Sheng quickly blocked her back words, and gave the eldest sister and the second sister a look at the same time.
The eldest sister Du Yue was clever, and after glancing at Du Sheng with disgust, she still cooperated and stepped forward to help Zhou Xiushu and whispered.
"Mother, you don't know Ah Sheng's temperament. Besides, my younger brother is also filial. ”
"Mother, Niuniu really wants to eat the delicious food made by the third brother."
Niuniu's big eyes rolled, and she pitifully leaned up to be coquettish.
While the eldest sister and Niuniu were helping to play the round, Du Sheng hurriedly continued to tinker with his hands and feet.
"Gauze!"
Du Sheng greeted, and immediately two maids stretched the gauze prepared in advance on a wooden barrel according to his arrangement.
He poured the ground soy milk on gauze and strained it back and forth twice before pouring it into the pot and boiling.
"Bring the plaster."
After boiling the carefully filtered soybean milk in the pot, Du Sheng put the cooked gypsum in a basin with water according to the proportion, and waited for the soybean milk in the pot to boil.
"Go and prepare some cane sugar and honey, then a few porcelain bowls and spoons."
After the soybean milk in the pot boiled, Du Sheng poured the boiled soybean milk into a clear water basin of cooked gypsum, and commanded without raising his head.
"I'll go get cane sugar and honey."
Du Sheng's personal maid Xiaolian looked at the faint fragrance, swallowed her saliva with her snow-white soy milk eyes shining, turned around and ran towards the room with her skirt.
"I'll prepare a porcelain bowl and spoon."
Du Yue also happily gave his younger brother a hand.
"In fact, the boiled soy milk is already edible, and the nutritional value is very high, and it tastes better with a little sucrose. If you add two fritters, you ...... tsk."
Soy milk fritters are a perfect match.
Speaking of fritters, Du Sheng suddenly had a new idea.
"I really didn't expect soybeans to be so white and tender when boiled out."
Mother Wu couldn't help but sigh heavily, she had worked in the kitchen for so many years, and she never thought that soybeans who could only be snacks for children could do this.
"It's almost time."
Du Sheng looked at the tender tofu brain in the basin that was whiter than milk, and filled most of the bowl with a spoon with a smile on his face. After sprinkling some cane sugar and honey, he respectfully handed it to Zhou Xiushu.
"Mother, this is made for you by my son, you can taste it."
Zhou Xiushu looked at Du Sheng with red eyes, pursed her lips tightly, and tears rolled around in her eyes one after another.
Once upon a time, the son who was scolded in private as a straw bag and a waste didn't know how much she had to worry about.
"Mother~"
Du Sheng saw that his mother's mood was a little wrong, so he deliberately pretended to be a half-grown child, and called softly like a coquettish, and handed the bowl forward.
"Okay, good, my son is so filial, my mother is so happy!"
Zhou Xiushu couldn't hold back her tears, her eyes were full of emotion.
"Huh?"
Zhou Xiushu stirred lightly a few times, and after dissolving the sucrose and honey, she scooped a small spoonful and fed it into her mouth, and her eyes changed suddenly.
"Gollum~"
"Mother, is it delicious?"
Niuniu looked at Zhou Xiushu with a blank eye, and had swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
"The world is delicious!"
Zhou Xiushu glanced at her son without hesitation, and half-squatted and pampered a spoonful to Niuniu.
"Hmm~"
"Wow! It's so delicious! ”
Niuniu took a bite of tofu brain, and her little eyes suddenly lit up.
"Niuniu, the third brother will serve you a bowl again."
"Xiaolian, give the eldest lady and the second lady a bowl too."
The smile on Du Sheng's face was even stronger, and he casually filled another bowl and handed it to Niuniu.
The latter hurriedly stretched out his meaty little hand, carefully took it and gently stirred it a few times like Zhou Xiushu, and then couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful and feed it into his mouth.
"Hmm~ This is the best thing Niu Niu has ever eaten."
A spoonful of tofu went down her stomach, Niuniu looked at Du Sheng with a satisfied face and said.
"As long as Niuniu likes it, the third brother will make it for you every day."
Du Sheng rubbed Niuniu's little head dotingly.
After eating the first bite of tofu, the eldest sister and the second sister also instantly fell in love with this fragrant and tender delicacy.
After the second sister Du Qi took the first bite, she made the speed of the spoon faster than her sword, and ate a bowl of tofu brain in a few clicks.
Relatively speaking, mother Zhou Xiushu and eldest sister Du Yue are much more reserved, although the two were also conquered by the smooth taste of tofu brain, but their eating appearance is still as elegant as ever.
"Second sister, you eat slowly with Niuniu, don't choke, there is still in the basin."
Du Sheng took the small bowl handed over by Niuniu and gave her another bowl, and at the same time did not forget to tell softly.
It was half a pot of tofu brain, and it didn't take long for it to go down halfway.
Niuniu ate three bowls, the second sister ate five bowls, and even the mother and eldest sister ate two bowls by themselves.
"Xiaolian, you take your own bowl, it's not enough to make it later."
Du Sheng also ate a big bowl himself, and licked his lips with a retrospective taste.
When he saw Xiaolian and the others looking at the white and tender tofu brains in the basin and swallowing their saliva, he said with a smile without a slight.
"Thank you, Lord Hou."
Xiaolian happily saluted Du Sheng, and then took the bowl to serve it in a proper manner.
With Zhou Xiushu and Du Yue here, Xiaolian and the ladies of the Hou Mansion dare to cross the line by half a point.
Don't look at Zhou Xiushu, who is usually as gentle and quiet as Guanyin Niangniang, but no one in the Hou Mansion dares to make a mistake in front of her.
"Sheng'er, how can you make such delicious food? I remember you've never been in the kitchen before. ”
After Zhou Xiushu wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve covering, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Mother, this dish is called tofu brain. About seven or eight days ago, I suddenly had a strange dream. There is a dragon in my dream......"
Du Sheng didn't want to sacrifice the divine dragon again as a shield.
No way, tofu brain is the first time it has appeared in this world, you can't say that it was invented by yourself, right?
Besides, there will be all kinds of new things coming out of his hands in the future, so he can't always say that he came up with it himself, right?
In order to settle it once and for all, Du Sheng decided to use the rhetoric of Shenlong Tuomeng all the time.
There is no way, the main thing is that the people in Ninghai believe in the Divine Dragon, and everyone eats this set.
"No wonder! I'm afraid that only Shenlong-sama can create such a delicacy. ”
Zhou Xiushu and the others in the kitchen were stunned, and when Xiaolian heard that the bowl of tofu brain in her hand was passed down by Shenlong, her frightened hands shook and almost fell to the ground.
"Third brother and third brother, why did Lord Shenlong teach you to make tofu brains?"
Niuniu looked innocent and envious, suddenly pulled his trouser leg, leaned back on his chin and asked.
The others also looked at him at the same time, wondering why the Divine Dragon-sama favored him alone.
The people of Ninghai say that the dragon has a spirit and is omnipotent. Since countless years ago, they have been guarding this people.
It is precisely because of the protection of the Divine Dragon Lord that the people of this side can thrive on this land for generations.
