Chapter 3 A bowl of waist noodles
When the car arrived at the door, a thin little maid came up to help with a frightened face.
"Sister Huan'er......" she saluted Yao Huan, "Just now Ah Si ran to talk about this big disaster, Meituan thought that he would never see you again." β
As she spoke, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve. The aunt said with a pluice on her face: "Bah, what is the little saying is unlucky, hurry up and help Sister Huan go in." β
Yao Huan was swollen with half of his head and face, the pain was still vivid, but he felt funny.
Why is this little girl in my aunt's house called "Meituan"?
"Hungry? You go and lie down first, and your aunt will make you a bowl of soup cakes. After settling into the house and taking off all the wedding clothes, my aunt said softly to Yao Huan.
And added: "Your favorite kidneys soup cake." β
Yao Huan moved to the head of the bed with difficulty, but found that this ancient bedding was as reliable as the back of the bed. The aftermath of the concussion made her feel like she couldn't straighten her neck, so she simply hunched over on the bed.
Meituan entered the house with a soft pillow bag at this time, and seeing Yao Huan's weak and weak appearance, she hurriedly put the pillow bag in front of her, picked Yao Huan up and adjusted her posture, so that she could lie comfortably on the pillow.
Although this little girl is thin, she has a lot of strength. Yao Huan said secretly, squinting his eyes and looking at Meituan, he saw that she had a tender face, that is, the appearance of a middle school girl in later generations, estimated to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with faintly curved eyebrows, swarthy small round eyes, wide eye distance, and a flat nose, a little naΓ―ve.
"Sister Huan is so comfortable?" Meituan Yin Yin asked.
Yao Huan let out an "um".
"Sister Huan, do you want to pee?" Meituan asked again.
Yao Huan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted to ask her if she wanted to go to the toilet. It turns out that "Dengdong", "Gong", and "Clean Hands" are all just words that go around for the sake of elegance, and ordinary people don't just talk about it in the vernacular.
Yao Huan was in need, nodded, and Meituan hurriedly came to a somewhat mottled but clean toilet from the corner of the house.
Eventually, after Meituan helped Yao Huan to bed again, he even went to the copper basin with clean water stored in the corner of the house and twisted a handkerchief to rub her hands.
The servants and maids of my aunt's family are very particular. Yao Huan muttered.
Ever since she arrived at the house, she had been silently observing. The donkey cart did not go far from the Bianhe River, and the surrounding houses were crowded, but they were all brick and tile houses, and there were no dilapidated thatched houses or a choking smell, so it should be a place in the city that is not considered a slum.
My aunt's house, as soon as I entered the door, was a small patio, narrow, but there was a red and green color in the center, and a mini flower garden. Around the small patio, there are only three rooms. The front hall, east and west two compartments. The stove room is estimated to go back in the gap between the two walls on the side of the hall. Except for the wing house where Yao Huan is now lying and recuperating from his injuries, the other two rooms must not be spacious, because the chimneys of the neighbors are very close.
However, as far as the eye can see, they are all cleaned up neatly, the tables, cabinets and beds are in order, and there are even plain curtains on the side of the window grille. The turquoise curtains, reflected by the mid-spring afternoon sun, are particularly beautiful and comfortable to watch.
And what Yao Huan paid the most attention to was that her aunt didn't seem to have in-laws, husbands, or children......
Just one master and one servant?
Yao Huan was thinking about it, and her aunt entered the house with food.
Ho, what a big bowl of kidney noodles.
Under the eager gaze of his aunt, Yao Huan had to open his mouth and catch a large chopsticks and waist flower fed by Meituan.
Yao Huan didn't like to eat animal offal since she was a child, and the pig was the most scared of the waist and large intestine in the water, and the hot waist flower in the hotel was cleaned up no matter how clean, she still felt a smell of urine.
I just heard my aunt say that I want to make my niece's favorite kidney flower soup cake, although Yao Huan has a grid in his heart, but he guesses that maybe he has traveled to this era and borrowed the body of the Yao girl, maybe he will also inherit the taste habits of this girl. And if God still makes her carry the memories of the joys and sorrows of the past, with the taste preferences of her previous life, then she has also made up her mind, since she has come to this era, what to eat.
I never thought that when I waited for the soft and trembling lump of waist flowers, the tip of my tongue would clearly transmit a message that made my brain extremely happy.
A hint of sweet and sour, a little salty and fresh, not cold or hot, the unique meat aroma of animal fat, mixed with a bit of plant fragrance, tender elasticity and tough brittleness, the balance is perfect.
I really didn't expect that a small piece of waist flower would make the top of the head bloom with dopamine!
My aunt prides herself on being a leader in the pig water food circle on both sides of the Bianhe River, and no matter whether the diners are close or distant, what she enjoys most is the pleasure and satisfaction that she reads from the eyebrows and eyes of the other party when they eat the food.
The niece is a good and simple and kind child, because of her strong temperament, she is almost separated from her own heaven and man forever, and now looking at Yao Huan's gobbling up and clearly coming back to life, my aunt feels not only the pride of being a cook, but also the gratitude to God.
Thank God, you have taken away my Shen Fuzhi's loved ones again and again, so this last time, you can be regarded as sending back your compassion and leaving your sister's only bone and blood.
As soon as the aunt was happy, she became interested, sat down on the couch, and opened the conversation.
"Sister Huan, when your mother taught me to cook, she always taught me not to be biased. Salty makes people live short, sour hurts people's muscles and bones, pungent taste damages righteousness, bitter taste hurts heart, and if it is too sweet, it hurts people's morale. Therefore, although the pork intestines and waist flower soup cakes in my aunt's dining shed dare to be called the first family in Bianjing City, but I am good at diligence and desolation, and I still have to think deeply about the seasoning of these two kinds of food. β
The aunt stepped forward, stared at the waist flower in Yao Huan's bowl, and continued to tell: "The water and even the things that are sassy are also the most fragrant things, and the seasoning should not only dispel the sass, but also line out its meat fragrance." These days, my aunt tried a new recipe, skimming the pork kidneys off the white sass, boiling them in boiling water with boiling Chinese shallots, and then marinating them in soybean paste, wasabi mushrooms, hawthorn puree, and rock sugar crumbs for two or three hours. When you want to make soup cakes, the bread noodles will be raised in a wide soup pot, and the pickled kidneys will be rolled in hot oil in a stir-fried wok, and then removed and placed on the cake noodles. In this way, the kidney flower is sweet, sour, spicy and salty, but every flavor does not take away the flesh of the ingredients, do you think, is it more fragrant than before? β
Yao Huan replied with a "hmm", and then figured out his aunt's accent, and boldly said a word: "Fragrant!" β
There doesn't seem to be any flaw, this quaint tongue sound. Yao Huan suddenly had a little confidence in learning words.
My aunt saw Yao Huan holding the chopsticks in Meituan's hand and eating it like a whirlwind, and couldn't help but smile more relieved: "Fang Cai Na Lang Zhong taught, you must beware of you vomiting, I am afraid of internal injuries, now I see, it is still peaceful." Speaking of Na Langzhong, he looks good, but his face is very raw, and he is afraid that he is a doctor in the north of the city. It's a pity that the matter is urgent, and I can't honor his name, so I can't go to thank him. β
She was chattering when she suddenly heard a respectful shout from the patio: "Owner, Ah Si has already collected the shed and come to give today's money." β
