Chapter 13 Venison should be stewed with wild ginseng

To say that this banquet is really a good feast, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the aroma is tangy, and the appetite is moving, the eldest lady and the Hou Ye instructed Yahuan to specially arrange vegetables for the fish and butterflies, and the fish and butterflies eat that is called a joy.

Ping San Gongzi stared at the fish butterfly, watching her eat with relish, and the corners of his lips were full of smiles.

There are many rules for the banquet of the princes and nobles, and they are restricted, even if it is a family banquet, they are all unsmiling, taste and swallow carefully, and there are really not many people who eat as much as fish and butterflies, but the appearance of fish and butterflies is not only not disgusting, but even the people who look at it make others have a great appetite.

"Fish girl, it's delicious, the chef in this house used to be a famous chef in Zhujianglou, several major cuisines in Qiuchi Country will do well, eat more, eat more, this dish of birds back to the nest, taste, eat more, it's a big deal to go back to dinner." The third lady watched the fish and butterflies eat non-stop and teased.

Yu Die'er didn't want to be like she hadn't eaten, how could she be a concubine in the palace in her previous life, dressed in fine clothes and food.

Since this rebirth, every day steamed buns, porridge, small pickles, is really a little vegetarian, suddenly saw the delicacies of the mountains and seas, of course, to relieve the cravings, but also do not care about reserve and etiquette.

When she was almost done, Yu Die'er stopped her chopsticks and exclaimed: "It's worthy of being a celebrity chef, it's delicious, it's full of color, flavor, and taste, thank you for your hospitality." ”

Master Hou and the eldest lady both smiled: "It's good that the fish girl is satisfied." ”

The third prince pursed his lips lightly and smiled slightly, the smile was not only on his lips, but also in his eyes that were as warm as jade.

He looked at the girl opposite, an ordinary light blue plain skirt, with a white hair shoulder, simple and elegant, light and transparent, bright starlight eyes, simple holding a flying fairy bun, a beaded hairpin, black hair hanging down to the waist, pink and daisy, but also showing a stunning face, eyebrows are not described, lips are not dotted but vermilion.

Obviously exuding a faint leisure, fresh like a water lily, but lively and naughty when he speaks, his expression is smart, he looks young, but his bright eyes seem to see through the world, it is not at all what this age should be, he has a momentary loss of mind, this little woman is too interesting and cute.

"Needless to say, this banquet is top-notch, this ingredient mountains, seas, birds, beasts, no matter which one is usually not eaten, how can you not be satisfied, right, fish girl. "The third lady's mouth is really cheap, and she really doesn't provoke the fire of the fish and butterflies.

"What the third lady said is, just say that this venison, are all royal nobles, princes and generals to enjoy it, the folk girl is full of food today, the chef's skills are good, the meat is tender and the soup is fresh, but the three ginseng stewed venison should use wild ginseng, only to match the preciousness of the venison, but here is used salvia, codonopsis, sand ginseng to stew, the folk girl feels that it seems a little unworthy of the venison such a good thing. ”

You can also add a little hawthorn, the taste will be more refreshing, the color is red, stewed to half good, sporadically put in a few laurel leaves, stomach digestion, so as not to eat too much greasy and indigestible. Yu Die'er said lightly.

A few casual words, as if talking about eating, but hit back at the third lady fiercely, do you say I haven't eaten, I have not only eaten, I have not eaten less, but I also know how to make it more delicious, just to be angry with you.

Yu Die'er said a few words, but the expressions of the people present were different, and they were all shocked, what this girl said was the Tao, not like she had never seen the world at all.

The eldest lady looked like she was watching a play, and she was happy that someone had someone to govern the third lady.

The smile in the eyes of the third prince was even stronger, it turned out that this little woman was still a little bad, and he pretended to drink the tea in the cup.

Hou Ye was stunned for a long time: "The girl said that this venison is not stewed with wild ginseng?" How could a Hou Ye, who is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, not know what dishes to put in, and he knows some if he is used to eating, of course Pingyuan Hou knows that the venison is to be stewed with wild ginseng, but he didn't expect that today's is not wild ginseng.

Just now he just watched the fish and butterflies eat, he didn't move his chopsticks, picked up a piece of venison and tasted it, tasted the soup again, and his face sank: "Call Li Fu." ”

Yu Die'er looked at the third lady, only to see that her face was pale and she was sweating, Yu Die'er was a little strange, she said this just to hit her back, don't think that you haven't eaten good things, it's like giving yourself a treat, but how can it look like the third lady is very scared.

After a while, a chubby man came in, the apron had not been untied, it was estimated that the person who went to pass had already explained the situation to him, he came in in a panic and knelt down, shouting: "Master Hou." ”

"Li Fu, you have been in the Hou Mansion for a few years, you have always been responsible, and your craftsmanship is also very much in line with my wishes, and now you are bold enough to do your hands and feet in the dishes, this venison used to use wild ginseng, why has it changed. There was anger in the words of the Plains Marquis.

"The old man is angry, the slave never dares to do anything, it is the third lady who said that the wild ginseng is gone, said that the Hou Ye is waiting for the banquet guests, and ordered the slave to replace it with other ginseng, saying... said that she was a village girl anyway, and she could eat something. Chef Li said tremblingly.

Li Fu thought that although it was not a trivial matter to offend the third lady, if he took it himself, he was afraid that the Hou Ye would be guilty, and he would not be able to afford it, this black pot could not be carried, if it was considered to be a mess on the dish, this bowl of rice would be considered to be the end of it.

"Bold, Ben Hou is feasting on distinguished guests today, and you are so lazy. Pingyuan Hou moved.

"I remember that the Queen Mother gave a few wild ginseng last month, why it was gone, and I found out the remaining venison and stewed it with wild ginseng again, which is really tyrannical. Pingyuan Hou looked very displeased, and commanded the third lady with a strong anger.

The procurement and preservation of Houfu's precious ingredients have always been supervised by the third lady, and wild ginseng is naturally also in her.

The third lady's face was red and white for a while, she hesitated and didn't move, and said in her heart, did this girl deliberately get along with herself, what kind of wild ginseng did she mention in a good manner, the precious wild ginseng was a thousand taels, and it had been sold by herself, where did she get it now, anyway, the taste of other ginseng is about the same, who knew that this girl had such a tricky mouth.

"Master, there have been a lot of trivial things in the house recently, and for a while, I can't remember where the wild ginseng is put in the concubine, and when the banquet is dispersed, the concubine will look for it, and the dinner will be re-stewed according to what the fish girl said, and bay leaves and hawthorn will be added. The third lady said cautiously.

"If you can't find it or don't have it, you can buy it in time, you can't do this thing, what else can you do, do you have something to hide from me?"

The third lady's face turned even paler, and breathing could be heard in the silence of the room.

"Hou Ye is angry, it's all the sins of the people's daughters, casually talking about some food, but causing these unpleasantness, please don't be angry, don't blame them, otherwise the people's daughter's sins are really big, and this meal can't be eaten. Yu Die'er was just angry that the third lady always ridiculed herself, and hit back a few words, she didn't want to cause trouble, and she didn't expect this to happen, so she got up and cleared the siege when she saw this.

"Besides, although this codonopsis is not as precious as wild ginseng, it moistens the lungs and replenishes qi, which is very suitable for the newly healed body of the third son. Yu Die'er said as she made a color to the third prince opposite.

"Oh, so I want to eat more, thank you aunt for thinking about me, father, forget about this matter, my aunt is just busy and faint, I can't remember where to put it, go back and buy some more, today is a thanksgiving banquet, I will toast the fish girl with tea instead of wine." Ping Sangongzi, who had been smiling and silent, got up and picked up the teacup, and said in his heart, how did this girl know that she would listen to her and help persuade peace?

But I really listened to her, didn't I?
