Chapter 270: Southern Song Dynasty Boat Lady Style 1
Seeing the meal, Li Fengwu put down the book "Ten Annotations on the Analects" in his hand, and walked up to the second floor, "Little lady, should we cook and eat by ourselves, or go to the nearest restaurant?" ”
Xia Nuanyun put down the pen in his hand, looked at the sky, and smiled very gently and considerately, "It's night, if Li Xiaoguan wants to go out to eat, and allow the slave family to change clothes, if he doesn't want to go out, the slave family will make a few snacks to drink." ”
In the afternoon, Xia Nuanyun asked for his name, and Li Fengwu considered that maybe the boatlady of the flower boat also knew that the big Song Xiaofeng Li Fengwu didn't dare to say his real name, but only said that his surname was Li.
Xia Nuanyun thought that Li Xiaoguan was afraid of being entangled by herself, but she didn't care too much, and she was a little unhappy in her heart after all.
I treat you with sincerity, but you guard against me much.
Li Fengwu thought for a while, "There are ingredients on board?" ”
Xia Nuanyun nodded.
"Then I'll make a fire and let you taste my craft." Anyway, being idle is also idle, and cooking on a flower boat seems to be quite fun.
Xia Nuanyun didn't expect this to happen, and was very surprised, "The little official knows how to cook?" ”
A gentleman is far away from cooking, and if someone knows that a gentleman cooks, he will be ridiculed.
Li Fengwu shrugged, "A little." ”
I went down to the stern of the first floor, looked at the ingredients, and quickly got an idea.
There are not many ingredients, only two yellow buds, two shallot-flower eggplants, a few lettuce, a few lotus roots, seven or eight pine flower eggs, and about half a catty of pork belly.
With his own cooking skills, yellow sprouts can be used to fry pork belly back to the pot, shallots can be made into fish-flavored eggplant, although there is no bean paste, but can be made with light taste, lettuce can be made into garlic lettuce.
It's just that these dishes haven't appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know if Xia Nuanyun can eat them.
Good thing the stern kitchen is well stocked.
The so-called flower boat, most of the upper and lower floors, the upper floor is used to stay or stay in the place of prostitutes, the lower floor is the living room for receiving guests, most of the furnishings are luxurious, can be used for the official and rich to set up banquets, gambling, etc., plus the boat lady as a companion, it is very pleasant.
In addition to satisfying lust, those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen can also conduct economic, political, and military secret transactions here, which is a relatively common social place.
Of course, Xia Nuanyun's flower boat can't do it to the extent of setting up a banquet to entertain guests, after all, it is only a small flower boat, no more than seven or eight meters long, and if you want to set up a banquet, you have to go to the restaurant to order food and send it over.
Li Fengwu doesn't care about this, as long as he can eat, live and read.
Then again, living on a flower boat does feel very strange.
To know that Hangzhou Boat Niang is not like the general Qinglou Hook Column, it is not a place where you can stay if you have money, but it depends on whether the boat lady is willing or not, which is probably similar to the escort model of later generations.
And the so-called Datong aunt, in layman's terms, is the Dongguan technology stream, Taishan sister-in-law is the uniform temptation of high-end places, Yangzhou thin horse is like a third- or fourth-tier starlet, belonging to the second milk reserve team.
In comparison, Yangzhou thin horse has the highest status, after all, it is possible to become a concubine of a rich family, Hangzhou boat lady is the most free, whether to stay in the boat girl's own will, Datong aunt is the most down-to-earth, relying on traffic to eat, Taishan sister-in-law, is a transvestite, specializing in wrongdoing.
Li Fengwu took off the iron kitchen knife, put a rag under the wooden vegetable pier, took out a large handful of garlic from the side, patted it one by one, and then peeled off the garlic coat and put it in a porcelain bowl on the side for later use.
At this moment, Xia Nuanyun came to the stern, glanced at it and exclaimed: "So much garlic!" ”
Li Fengwu said with a smile: "That's for garlic lettuce." ”
Xia Nuanyun looked dazed, "Jiankang's dishes? Lin'an had never heard of it. ”
Li Fengwu shook his head and didn't explain, "Why don't you make the rice first, I still have to prepare it here." ”
Xia Nuan sighed, borrowed a fire from the stove, lit the stove for cooking rice, scooped water from the bucket on the side to wash rice, and then put it in the pot, covered the pot, and added a few handfuls of firewood.
Li Fengwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not the West Lake water.
After Xia Nuanyun was busy, Li Fengwu said: "Little lady, let's go and rest, three dishes, it won't be long." ”
Xia Nuanyun hesitated and walked a few steps, "Do you really want to do it?" ”
Or do you still have some unbelief that the scholar is supreme and adheres to the concept of gentleman's distant cooking, and the great Song scholar can cook? No matter how you look at it, it's unreliable, but no matter how you look at it, this little official doesn't seem to be on a whim.
Not to mention, the few strokes of the garlic are really a bit of a chef's posture.
Li Fengwu looked back and smiled, didn't say anything more, and continued to lower his head to peel the washed eggplant, cut it into strips, and put it on a plate for later use.
Half an hour later, Xia Nuanyun watched the little officials bring the dishes into the living room in turn, couldn't help laughing, got up and wiped Li Fengwu's face with his sleeves, gentle as water.
Li Fengwu relapsed, and took advantage of the break to poke his chest gently, very soft and gentle, well, there is indeed no Zhu Zhao'er's bulletin.
Xia Nuanyun took advantage of the situation and slapped it, but there was only a smile between her eyebrows.
There is no dinner, in the evening, it is on the West Lake flower boat, of course, you have to drink some wine and listen to a little song, talk about the wind and the moon and talk about life, and appreciate the style of the West Lake boat girl.
Xia Nuanyun was very clever and saw Li Fengwu's thoughts, "Is it okay for the slave family to untie the cable and let the boat drift with the waves?" ”
Li Fengwu got up when he heard this, "I'll do this kind of rough work." ”
When Li Fengwu returned to put it on, Xia Nuanyun was washing the fruit, slicing the peaches, peeling the citrus, bringing it in after the platter, and putting it next to the dish, it was early spring, and there were not many fruits.
Xia Nuanyun brought in the previously warm wine again and poured a glass for Li Fengwu and himself.
Li Fengwu sat down, looked at the boat lady who was kneeling in front of her, like a little woman's happiness, and smiled: "Come, for our acquaintance, I did it, you are free." ”
Rice wine is not intoxicating......
Xia Nuanyun sneered and laughed, sometimes the little official spoke out of touch, and instantly made people feel that this little official did not look like a scholar, covered his mouth with his sleeves, and took a sip of rice wine.
Li Fengwu put down his wine glass, looked at the piano platform, and didn't wait to speak, he listened to Xia Nuanyun say, "What kind of music do the little officials want to hear?" ”
At this time, the flower boat ripples with the waves and gradually goes offshore.
At this time, the night wind suddenly rose, and in the water of the West Lake, dozens of flower boats were seen rippling into the depths of the lake.
At this time, the spring is good for a while, and the flowers are blooming on both sides of the strait.
Among the many flower boats, you can vaguely see pretty figures, fat figures, and many elegant figures, and there are also light and thick songs that are always appropriate.
With the advent of night, Li Fengwu's eyes were shown for the first time, like an amorous and mysterious lady slowly unveiling the veil, waiting for the Song Dynasty to savor it.
When I arrived at the Great Song Dynasty, I didn't know that Qinglou was a scholar in vain.
When I arrived in Lin'an, I didn't know that the boat lady was in vain. (To be continued.) )
