Chapter 11 Cook mutton soup

There is no small kitchen in Wei Xiaoniang's yard, but there is one in Lin Xiaoniang's yard.

But this is not difficult for Shen Yanling, there is no boiler stove or anything, it doesn't matter.

In ancient society, there was no heating, and the rich had to burn charcoal. Just use this small stove and make a small basin, which can be used to cook mutton soup.

Mutton is handled well, which comes from the modern Shen Yanling, which has a special method.

The modern steps to remove the smell have been done in great detail. Cooking wine, onions, ginger and garlic, these are all available in ancient times.

Of course, green onions, ginger and garlic are still green onions, ginger and garlic, but there is no cooking wine, isn't there still liquor?

In ancient societies, winemaking required a wine introduction. Because winemaking is a large consumer of grain, it is all run by the government.

A small number of private enterprises also need to buy wine from the government.

But they didn't need to buy wine, and they didn't need a lot, so they bought a small jar.

It is said that the alcohol content of ancient wine was not high enough, and many literati and little women actually liked to drink such a sip.

After processing the mutton, Shen Yanling began to cook it slowly. During the period, Shen Yanling calculated the amount of spices such as pepper and cinnamon and put them into the soup.

This point, Shen Yanling, who is a snack in modern times, is still very good.

"How long will it take?" Sheng Minglan is a snack product, and when she encounters food, she can't wait, and she has been sitting next to the small stove, and she is not too hot.

Shen Yanling smiled: "This is a meticulous job, and it takes a lot of time." ”

Fortunately, at this time, it is still easy to get some firewood or something.

Every day, there are many people who walk the streets and alleys, and many sell firewood.

Charcoal is too expensive, otherwise it's better to use that one. Ancient silver filigree carbon, that is, smokeless carbon, is easy to burn, and there is no smoke.

However, Shen Yanling, who didn't have much silver on hand, still chose to use ordinary firewood.

It's the same anyway, so it's okay to use this when you're not in a hurry.

It's a hot day, so you don't have to close the door, and you don't have to think about the smoke not being able to escape.

Even so, Shen Yanling still chose to burn it in the yard.

If you're in the house, you don't have to sleep at night. The smell of smoke is hard to get away.

Wei Xiaoniang sat under the eaves, holding an embroidery bandage in her hand, embroidering stitch by stitch.

In ancient times, there were no ready-to-wear stores, or very few.

Most of my own clothes, shoes and so on, I still need to make my own.

Buy the fabric, embroider it with your favorite pattern or pattern, and then cut it into clothes.

For girls from civilian families, embroidery is the best way to make money. This is the easiest job for women who can't go out often.

It's just that some eyes are drained, and some craftsmanship is exquisite.

Speaking of embroidery, Shen Yanling can now do some simple embroidery. At least he can't embroider mandarin ducks, and he is recognized as a duck.

Although her talent is slightly worse, she has fast reading skills, and she remembers the skills taught by Wei Xiaoniang, as well as the steps of Wei Xiaoniang's embroidery.

Then Shen Yanling began to copy and try to imitate, but there was still some progress.

Slowly, the fragrance wafts out.

Speaking of the taste of mutton soup, it is really good.

Especially in ancient societies, when there was not too much meat, the flavor of meat was even stronger.

These unpolluted meats, without the pollution of modern industry, are really original.

The fragrance wafted out, and the entire Sheng family smelled it.

"What the hell is this scent?"

"Looks like it's coming from over there."

As a result, when these female envoys came over, they actually found the young master of the Sheng family, and the son-in-law Sheng Changbai standing outside.

Although Sheng Changbai would not punish the female envoy, the expressionless appearance on Sheng Changbai's face still made many people worried.

"Second brother!"

Sheng Changbai nodded: "You guys are here?" ”

He frowned, there is nothing to do at home? Why are so many female envoys here?

"It's okay, we'll be back right away."

The female envoys and mothers-in-law all left quickly, and Sheng Changbai followed the fragrance and actually walked outside Wei Xiaoniang's courtyard.

Well? Who's that?

Second brother?

Shen Yanling turned around and saw Sheng Changbai standing at the door, and his heart turned, thinking that if he wanted to stay in the Sheng family in the future, he still had to deal with Sheng Changbai.

"Second brother, why are you here? What a coincidence, you came here after I made a delicious meal, and it seems to be a blessing! ”

Shen Yanling walked out and pulled Sheng Changbai in as she spoke.

Sheng Changbai originally didn't want to come in, in the end this was his father's concubine's courtyard, and it was not appropriate for him to come in.

But he didn't refuse much, and was pulled in.

It smelled so good, he had never smelled food so good.

I don't think I've ever smelled it when I'm in Tokyo?

Of course, there is a reason for this, in fact, the time when the food is most fragrant is not when it is served on a plate and served to the guests.

It's in the pot, when it's cooking, it's the most fragrant.

In ancient society, gentlemen paid attention to cooking, and Sheng Changbai was the son-in-law of the family, how could he go to the kitchen?

This is the first time that Sheng Changbai has been in such close contact with cooking, and the fragrance he smelled was Shen Yanling's deliberate choice of the mature spice system used in later generations. This fragrance is naturally not ordinary.

Sheng Minglan gave Sheng Changbai a salute, but her eyes kept staring at the basin, motionless.

Shen Yanling actually felt a little funny, Sheng Minglan's foodie attribute seemed to be stimulated by herself.

Wei Xiaoniang was originally going to come out, but when she saw Sheng Changbai, Wei Xiaoniang turned around and entered the house again.

Shen Yanling is a younger sister, and she doesn't get along with her brother.

She is a concubine, and getting along with a teenager is not so regular.

By this time, Cherry had already brought the bowl over.

Shen Yanling spooned two bowls and said to Fluttershy, "Sister Fluttershy, please send these two bowls to your grandmother first." ”

Then he took two more bowls and said to the cherries, "Cherries, give them to father and mother." ”

As for Peach? Forget it, this foodie, let's stay with Sheng Minglan, a snack merchant.

As for Cherry, a foodie, who made her his maid?

As for sending it yourself, forget it.

Lin Xiaoniang's side is okay, Shen Yanling doesn't plan to provoke the other party now, nor does she plan to flatter.

It's useless to flatter, Lin Xiaoniang's kind of person is selfish, and even the old lady who is kind to her betrayed.

This kind of person will not remember your good.

The old lady still has to have filial piety, and as for Wang Ruofu's side, it is the same.

What will happen in the future, and Wang Ruofu's consent is still needed.

Who made this society so unfair to women.

"Second brother, this bowl is yours."

According to the order, Shen Yanling served the soup one by one.

Sheng Minglan couldn't wait to take the spoon and drink it, and Xiao Tao was the same.

Sheng Changbai smelled the fragrance and didn't hold back.

Shen Yanling didn't drink it, but brought a bowl and sent it to Wei Xiaoniang in the house.
