"Tofu?" Shao Qing wondered, "I've eaten sweet apricot cake dumplings." This tofu you made is actually made from sweet apricots? ”

Yao Huan was proud: "Sir, don't you think you can't see the difference with tofu?" In fact, it is not difficult to do. A few days when I was on an errand in the palace, I saw agar powder in the imperial kitchen, which the cook used to make chestnut crystal cakes. After leaving the palace, I bought agar powder and sweet almond powder at the market market. Chestnut mushroom is insoluble in water, but almond flour can be boiled like buttermilk, mixed with agar powder, cooled and condensed, just like tofu. Then sprinkle the osmanthus candy sent by Mr. for a better flavor. ”

Agar, which is a plant gelatin extracted from seaweeds such as cauliflower.

Animal gelatin is extracted from cow bones and fish bones, and plant gelatin is extracted from seaweed, and people before the Han and Tang dynasties will.

Therefore, it is not strange for Yao Huan to see agar powder in the Ouchi Imperial Diet, but he was just reminded - this food additive used for bonding and coagulation is a necessary thing for the development of all kinds of beautiful dim sum.

In Mr. Shao's opinion, the woman in front of him was willing to give him whatever food she wanted.

What's more, on this almond tofu, osmanthus candy made by Shao Qing is also added.

Shao Qing hesitated and happily took a sip.

"Wonderful! Sure enough, it's more tender than tofu. ”

Yao Huan said in his heart, nature is more tender than tofu, the ancients at this time did not invent lactone tofu, my agar almonds, is not several times more tender than old tofu?

I only heard Shao Qing continue to praise: "The lady's sweet apricot tofu is comparable to Qiong Jelly Jade Dew." Osmanthus sugar, just like the golden wind in autumn. Well, this dim sum is very good, and it reminds me of Master Qin's words: As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win, and there are countless people in the world. ”

Yao Huan was stunned when he heard this.

Just when Shao Qing was looking forward to seeing a shy and cramped expression change, Yao Huan burst into laughter.

"I know this poem, Qin Guan Qin's Queqiao Immortal, right? He also said that if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight. Mr. Shao, the first word of Bachelor Qin, our mother-in-law Wang who pinched the run-in villain in the alley will memorize it. What are you saying? Every time my uncle came back to see my aunt, he would bring a poem, and he was not very good at filling in the lyrics himself, so he had to ask Liu Qi, Ouyang Gong, and Qin Bachelor for help......"

Yao Huan said this, and suddenly stopped.

After all, this is gossip between divorced uncles and aunts, and she is also too big-mouthed, how can she just talk to Mr. Shao.

Somehow, when facing Mr. Shao, she just felt that she was very relaxed, relaxed enough to be on a talk show or complain conference.

Shao Qing was even more crying and laughing in his heart.

Are you stupid?

The almond tofu you made, the osmanthus candy I made, I compared it to the golden wind and jade dew, and you didn't understand what I meant?

It seems that I really didn't understand.

Or simply didn't think of it.

Otherwise, how to deviate from the anecdote of her uncle and aunt.

Even if it stopped abruptly, it seemed that he realized that as a junior, it was very inappropriate for him to talk about the affairs of his elders in front of outsiders.

On her face, there was no look of stunned and ashamed.

I went out and flirted with myself, but the result was that I didn't move.

It's lonely!

Shao Qing pressed down the embarrassment and frustration, but he was unwilling to return home on the topic.

He came to see her vivid face and listen to her interesting words.

Since it is such a temptation to go against his Shao Qing style, it is like an old coachman who encounters an ignorant horse and is led crookedly, then, let's talk about the food.

Shao Qingsui turned on the technology flow mode again, and said: "In the past, only people from the grassland country used cheese as pulp, but now my Song people also love to eat cow milk and goat milk, the royal kitchen has a special cheese courtyard, and it is not uncommon to have a cheese shop in Kaifeng City." The lady can also add some milk to the water first, and then cook it with sweet apricot powder and agar flakes, which may be more fragrant. ”

Yao Huan was greatly inspired and continued: "Yes, if there is no osmanthus in the season, make cherry cheese almond tofu, plum cheese almond tofu, hawthorn cheese almond tofu, ......"

Shao Qing smiled and nodded: "That's the case." Even in the cold winter, you can conjure up tricks. You see, what we make now is honey osmanthus, and in winter, you can pick plum blossoms, soak them in snow water to dry, and then add honey, which is the honey-stained plum blossom sauce in the book "Lin's Cuisine" that I once lent to my mother. ”

Shao Qing's low and warm voice, like Bach's a cappella cello piece, does not need to exert much force to trigger Yao Huan's reverie full of pictures.

Count nine cold days, heavy snowfall, sit under the window, snuggle up to the stove, a cup of fragrant hot coffee, a stack of sweet apricot juice cheese plum soft cake, drink a sip of coffee, dig a spoonful of dessert, look outside the window like ice crystal hexagonal flowers, gently floating down the fence.

Shao Qing saw that Yao Huan had the appearance of a fugue, and there was a layer of intoxication in his eyes, as if he was immersed in a sweet dream.

He also looked at her quietly, and such a relative moment of tranquility seemed precious to him.

However, he was not able to do so.

Tuk-tuk-tuk-

There was another knock on the courtyard door.

Shao and Yao turned around when they heard the sound, only to find that Yao Huan had not closed the courtyard door properly.

People outside the hospital just knocked on the door to announce their steps into the hospital.

"Four...... Fourth uncle?! ”

Yao Huan saw the person coming clearly and stood up suddenly, but he didn't know whether he was surprised, happy or embarrassed, and he was quite at a loss for a while.

"Huan'er, there are guests?"

Zeng Wei walked up to the two of them in a few steps and asked with a pleasant face.

Zeng Shilang has this ability, a pair of eyes swept over, seven points of gentle smile to Yao Huan, three points of vigilance to Shao Qing, and the distinction between the two points is clear.

Yao Huan woke up and said busily: "This is Mr. Shao who taught Ruzhou, uh, at the beginning, he also saw the injury for me, that is, the one by the Bianhe River...... Today, Mr. happened to be passing by on his way to the clinic and came to borrow Shen Gong's book from his aunt. ”

Zeng Wei bowed his hand to Shao Qing: "In Xia Zeng Wei, after my brother and sister-in-law recognized Huan'er as a righteous daughter, I was quite concerned. Because Shen Erniang's house is not far from the Guozi Prison, and she is a student of the Guozi Prison, she is sometimes entrusted by her brother and sister-in-law to send some clothes and accessories to Huan'er. ”

Shao Qing returned the salute: "It turned out to be Zeng Shuxiang's son, no wonder Yao Niangzi was called the fourth uncle." ”

Zeng Wei smiled heartily, and his smile was also mixed with a slight self-deprecation: "Actually, I'm only three or four years old, and a fourth uncle sounds weird, and I really don't dare to be it." ”

Shao Qingdao: "It's nothing weird, seniority is a common gift, Brother Ruzhou is more than ten years younger than Yao Niangzi, but she is called sister." If Zeng Gongzi is calculated according to generation, he is an uncle and nephew with Yao Niangzi, that is, he is of the same age, and she should also be called the fourth uncle. Zeng Gongzi, please be seated. ”

Sit?

Zeng Wei said in his heart, this is the courtyard of the Shen family, why do you invite me to sit?

You can rely on this name to enter the yard in broad daylight, talk and laugh with her, and you are not afraid that the neighbors will be suspicious and chew your tongue and cause her trouble?
