Chapter 49: The gentleman is far away from the kitchen

"Cheng'er, this? Is that what the book says? Mother Li was a little puzzled.

"Mother, don't forget that I am a fairy disciple now, and I have also learned some of his old man's skills, and I am also a bit involved in these four books and five classics..." But this time he didn't joke anymore, this gentleman is far away from cooking, it really doesn't mean that gentlemen can't cook.

"Oh, since it's what the old fairy said, then it should be in the book, but..."

"Mother, I know what you're worried about, aren't you just worried about the opinions of outsiders?"

"You can rest assured of this, look at the way our family is now, do you still have time to worry about other people's feelings?" Li Cheng smiled.

"Now that our family is like this, we really don't have to worry about other people's feelings, but Cheng'er, what should I do with this showman?" When Li's mother heard this, she could only smile bitterly in the face of her own family's situation, and she really didn't have much energy to take into account the feelings of others, but Li's mother was worried that Li Cheng's fiancée might not think like this.

"Mother, what should I do?" Li Cheng was puzzled.

I can't cook, what kind of show, what's the matter?

"Little brother, I know, Xiuniang is the fiancée that my mother found for you, and she is also a lady from a big family in the city, she is good-looking and gentle, we are all doing long-term work with her for a few days, so it's good for us" Hearing Mother Li's mother mention her younger brother's fiancée Xiuniang, Wanniang also stopped what she was doing and shouted happily.

"Xiu Niang? Mother, why don't I remember that I have such a fiancée? ”

"Alas, Cheng'er, that Xiuniang is actually a poor person, with her identity, our family can't climb high no matter what, but that girl seems to have been cursed, saying that she can only marry the stupidest, stupidest and stupidest person...

At the beginning, Xiuniang automatically came to the door to propose, it was two or three years ago, and I didn't agree at that time, so I didn't agree with the situation of Cheng'er at that time..."When it comes to Xiuniang, Mother Li is like a chatterbox has opened, and she talks endlessly from Xiuniang's origin, and has been talking until now....

"No, it still has to be helped by Xiu Niang, so that our family can survive hard, until a few days ago, I didn't think that Xiu Niang was lying, so I went with your eldest sister to give this matter a given... But I never thought that Cheng'er, you have recovered, and now you can also give Xiuniang a good explanation. After speaking, Mother Li turned her head to look at Li Cheng, wanting to hear his opinion.

Seeing that Li Cheng had not moved for a long time, Li's mother said again: "Cheng'er, what do you think about this?" Mother can say it first, Xiu Niang has been very kind to our family over the years, and you can't bear others no matter what..."

Li Cheng felt very helpless about this, but still said: "Mother, that's all for this matter, as for me and Xiuniang, I think it's better to get along first, if it's not suitable, we can't delay others..."

"But don't worry, mother, Xiuniang is kind to our family, I know, so I won't treat Xiuniang badly no matter what..."Li Cheng thought for a while, and then said to Li's mother.

"That's good, that's good, you can say that your mother is also relieved" Mother Li nodded frequently, very satisfied with this, Li Cheng was able to have such a big picture, obviously it was a little unexpected for her, but she was also happy about it.

"Okay, mother, let's not talk about Xiu Niang, let's eat the whole meal first, the people in the village will come to work in a while, but we can't let them wait for a long time, so mother, you just go out and rest first, it's enough for the eldest sister to help me do it." Li Cheng said as he motioned to the little girl with his eyes to pull Mother Li away.

"Mother, let's go to the yard, there is another big sister today, but it's beautiful, let's go, Er Ya will take you to see..."

The little girl replied to Li Cheng with a look that I understood, and then dragged Li's mother out, and there were only two cooks left in the kitchen.

Li Cheng looked at Wanniang and said, "Okay, eldest sister, you help me watch this pot, and when the oil boils, you call me, and I'll go find some seasoning." ”

Wan Niang was a little puzzled, but still nodded: "Well, okay~"

After a while, Wan Niang's side was in full swing, the fire was ready-made, and she only needed to continue to add firewood to it.

The oil is the vegetable oil brought by Li Cheng yesterday, and there is also lard, but the people of the Tang Dynasty don't seem to know how to use vegetable oil.

Li Cheng noticed that almost all the oil in the pot was lard, and he ignored the vegetable oil, smiled helplessly, and walked over to help Wanniang light the vegetable oil and preheat it.

After making all these preparations, Li Chengcai began to copy the knife to prepare for his great cause, and also asked Wanniang to take some time out of her free time to watch from the sidelines.

In this way, they can learn a little bit of something, and if Li Cheng is not there in the future, they can also cook some delicious food by themselves, the best of both worlds, why not.

Today, what Li Cheng is going to make is not egg fried rice and stir-fried meat, but mutton noodles.

Eating in the morning is bad for the stomach, and eating noodles is a good way to alleviate this disadvantage.

Throw a lump of noodles dipped in oil and tear them into a waist into the pot, and the white noodles tumble up and down in the milky mutton broth, and it looks like you have an appetite.

Li Cheng made the Central Plains stewed noodles, which were known as China's top ten noodles in later generations, the essence of this kind of noodles is all in the soup, he actually doesn't need to add seasonings when he cooks mutton, he only needs to cook in white water and add salt, but he added seasonings in advance, in order to make the mutton soup more delicious, and the braised noodles that come out of this way are delicious.

The noodles were thrown into the pot one by one, and then the side dishes of the stewed noodles were also put in, and a few pieces of fresh mutton were exchanged from the system space for later use, and then all the green onions, ginger, garlic and chili were washed and chopped and mixed together, and a handful of fish coriander, that is, mint, was put aside.

Gastrodia, born in southern China, is the rhizome of the orchid plant Gastrodia, and is a top Chinese herbal medicine with diverse functions.

"Huiyan of Materia Medica" records: Gastrodia people, main head wind, headache, dizziness and weakness, epilepsy and spasms, limb spasms, speech problems, all strokes, wind and phlegm are also... This thing is especially wild, it is particularly fragrant for stewed meat, but at the same time it is very rare, even in his previous life, Li Cheng himself was only worthy of eating two or three times, not much.

The kind of luxurious life of eating precious Chinese medicine as a meal is not something that Li Cheng can live if he wants to.

Fortunately, the mutton in this system space is very fat, and all the food is natural pasture, which is far from comparable to the sheep raised by artificial feed in later generations, but also makes up for some defects.

After a few minutes, a few bowls of fragrant beef noodles are ready, and you can smell the fragrance and taste the spicy taste.

Taste the normalcy of the world and realize the flavor of life.

Suddenly, an elf rushed into the back kitchen.

"Wow, brother, what is this, it smells so good." The little girl couldn't stand the temptation of this aroma at first, so she left Li Mu and Caiyi and rushed straight into the kitchen.

"This is lamb noodles, it's delicious." Hearing this voice, he knew that it was Erya who came, and Li Cheng didn't turn around, but just said to her with a smile.

"Oh, it's yours, take it and eat it." Stretching out his finger and pointing to a small bowl on the table, Li Cheng motioned for the little girl to go over and eat it. That bowl was specially prepared for the little girl, he is still small, it is not suitable to eat too much, it is not good for the body.

"Hmm."

"Oh, it's so hot~" As soon as the little girl touched the bowl with her hand, she was burned for a while, and she screamed in pain.

"Lift it slowly, be careful of the burn," Li Cheng looked at the innocent-looking little girl over there and reminded him.

"Oh, I know~ Brother is really dripping, and I don't know if I notified people in advance, the little hands that hurt others have withered..."

"You little girl, you still blame me, who told you to be so anxious, I didn't even pull it."

"Hehe, brother, I won't tell you, I'll go out to eat" The little girl didn't answer, just smiled, and then went out with her bowl of beef noodles.

"Eldest sister, you should eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it's cold for a while, you don't need to add this firewood, I'll bring it over to my mother's place for a while..."

"Well, it's still delicious for the younger brother, so I'm welcome" The eldest sister Wan Niang wiped away the beads of sweat on her head, and then came to the table and went out with a bowl of beef noodles.

"Childe, I want it too, I want it too"

"Childe, and concubines too."

As soon as Wan Niang left, Phantom and Caiyi jumped over, and the four big eyes stared at the remaining beef noodles on the table without blinking, especially Caiyi, the corners of her mouth were already drooling.

"Come over here! Keep it for you."

"Thank you, Childe"

"Childe is so good"

… A moment later.

The well-fed family sat comfortably in the courtyard and asked questions, and Li's mother obviously paid more attention to the sudden appearance of the young girl.

Fantasy is undoubtedly perfect in the eyes of Mother Li, with the same grace and luxury as Caiyi, the same Chu Chu and moving, and it must be which lady is beautiful.

"Your name is Color?"

"Well, if the eldest lady doesn't dislike it, call the concubine Cai'er."

"Okay, just call Cai'er, just call Cai'er, are you here with Caiyi? Or for the silly boy in my family..."Mother Li was surprised and delighted, this child's character is also very good, and she decided to be a good person.

"Auntie, I'm... I am..."Hearing Mother Li mention Li Cheng, Phantom's face was as red as a ripe persimmon, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at her again.

"Mother, Caiyi and Phantom are two sisters, they both came together from the city, but they came a little early, they all met me not long ago, you don't need to continue to ask, they don't have the face to see people if they continue to ask" Li Cheng didn't expect Phantom to be such a thin-skinned little girl, and it felt a little incredible at the moment.

"It's the mother who is abrupt, what Cheng'er said is reasonable, and the mother is not asking" Mother Li was also abrupt when she heard this, and suddenly realized that she couldn't do this, and then looked at Phantom Color again, and said: "Then, Cheng'er, since the two mushrooms are coming to you, you can go and accompany them, and today's fortification will trouble Village Chief Li to take care of one or two..."
