Chapter 16 Go to Zeng's Mansion to eat a high family feast
Without waiting for Yao Huan to say more, when Shen Fuzhi looked at the other two plates of chicken feet on the plate, he could already see that a plate of pale amber was soaked in apricot peel water, and a plate of completely natural color with scattered rice dregs on the surface was made of the sake lees that she had prepared all year round.
"Auntie, a good general will not take the credit of others, these two practices are Meituan's ideas. At noon, Shao Langzhong came, Meituan poured apricot skin water for him, and Shao Langzhong praised him. When Meituan saw me boiling chicken feet with salty fish, he thought, salty and sour are good seasonings, since plums can be boiled with preserved quail, why can't apricots be served with chicken feet? Salty, sour, and bad. ”
Yao Huan praised Meituan, and Meituan also added graciously: "Erniang, Sister Huan'er's mind is ingenious, she said that the bad taste of chicken feet is the most nasal of the four flavors, so it should be flushed freely, let me add some spicy flavor." There is dogwood oil in this rotten chicken foot. ”
Dogwood is one of the sources of local spicy flavor before the introduction of chili peppers to China. There is a classification of dogwood, the one that is used in medicine is called dogwood, and the one that is used in vegetables to make spicy seasonings is called dogwood. Fresh dogwood is oval and red like a wolfberry, dried in the sun, fried in oil, and placed in a bowl, the effect is similar to the oil and spicy pepper after the introduction of chili peppers to China.
Yao Huan knew that the plant dogwood was the raw material for the ancients before the Ming Dynasty to take spicy taste.
No matter how bad her poetry is, Tang Wangwei's "Memories of Shandong Brothers on September 9th" is still memorized, but I don't know whether the dogwood in "One Less Person Everywhere" is a dogwood or a dogwood, and whether the fresh fruits of the dogwood are also available in the cool autumn. Meituan is like a roundworm in her stomach, saying that it is a pity that it is the Dragon Boat Festival now, how can there be dogwood fruit, so she can only mix the chili oil made from the dried dogwood last season into the bad marinade.
The four dishes of chicken feet in front of me, the brown red of the sauce stew, the dark green of the salty, the light orange of the apricot, and the light yellow of the dregs are placed together, which is pleasing enough to the eye, and it tastes sour, salty, sweet and spicy, each wonderful.
Shen Fuzhi had already put aside the anger when he talked about the dirty things of the old and new party disputes, smacking his tongue and licking his mouth, his apricot eyes were shining, and he said with a smile: "My son, you are really a good daughter of your mother's mother, you like to cook and have a lot of ideas, which is like enough for her." You are still recuperating from your injuries, how can you have such great energy. ”
When Yao Huan heard this, he said in his heart, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and it is not as good as today to hit the day.
So, the smile in her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said slowly: "Auntie, Meituan, the day I was forced to marry, I was indeed bent on seeking death, but I never thought that God would let me exchange death for a free body, and I would be able to be with my aunt in the future." It was as if I had been born again, and everything was new, all right. In the past few days, I have sat in the courtyard and watched the roses, looked at the chimneys of my neighbors, watched the mother-in-law next door feed the cats, and when I closed my eyes and rested, I thought about him under the spring. When my body was better, I couldn't help but go to the stove and make new food. Auntie, I think I really have the strength to live. ”
Yao Huan told the story eloquently, feeling that he must have a lot of talent for acting, and it doesn't seem to be too stuck in the role.
Shen Fuzhi soured his nose and said: "Good boy, it's good that you can recover from it, my aunt has also gone through some storms, and she is not a useless woman who seems to be a delicate flower." You live with your aunt, and you can't afford to lose left or right. ”
When she said this, she suddenly thought of something, and said hatefully: "No, my aunt also has a time when the boat capsized in the gutter, and this time it really taught you that grandpa left the scourge to the pit." No, I have to go and get your property back for you. ”
Yao Huan secretly sighed, I just thought, how could you, the second aunt who saw God and killed God, and was independent and spicy, easily forget this stubble. It's good, I'm not possessed by the Virgin, since I've crossed over, I'll seriously enter the play, I shouldn't be mine, I don't want a penny, I shouldn't have a penny, I can't rely on a penny when it's mine.
She then said in a resolute tone: "What my aunt said is exactly what Huan'er thinks. That family was earned by my father and mother, and I deserve my share. Besides, I have been thinking about getting some fresh dishes these days, just to help my aunt make the restaurant more prosperous. What if I get my family property back and I make a partnership with my aunt? ”
Shen Fuzhi is a conceited and upright woman, who swore twice to help her niece ask for family property, without relying on the respect of her elders and the righteousness of taking in Yao Huan, and she was greedy for money.
But at the same time, she was not hypocritical, and when she heard that Yao Huan wanted to do business with her, she couldn't help but applaud after a little thought.
This vigorous appearance that is neither stupid nor weak is like her niece of Shen Fuzhi.
"Okay, after five days, I will go to Zeng's Mansion to perform the play of recognizing the righteous girl, and our mother and son will go to Yao's house to ask for money."
"Five days later?"
"That's right, firstly, you have not seen anyone in the past few days, and secondly, during the Dragon Boat Festival, my aunt has to do a good job in the business of the restaurant."
Yao Huan understood. But no, which serious catering boss would be willing to give up the small holiday economy.
……
Yu Linlin doesn't know that spring is gone, and a few sunny days are more deep in summer.
On this day, before the hour came, the sun was blazing, and the green gardenia in the courtyard shone with a dazzling blue light, and the crayfish in the pond hid under the rubble.
Meituan smoked sesame oil soot yesterday, scraped it into a white porcelain dish, and then transferred it to the borneol and musk bought by a neighbor who was doing a spice business in the alley, and pounded it into eyebrow balm.
Shen Fuzhi tried it, and he was quite satisfied: "Black is more than paint, very good, very good, it can cover the bruises on Sister Huan's forehead." Since we agreed to shake hands with the Zeng family and make peace, we will go refreshed and decent, and if we sit down with injuries and marks, it will be like slapping someone in the face. ”
Yao Huan deeply felt the sense of dignity and detail control in the bones of this aunt, and couldn't help but sigh that if the aunt was a man, she should also have a lot to do if she entered the court.
Then blamed himself, hey, why make this association, the Northern Song Dynasty is different from the previous dynasty, it does not despise merchants, how many men who enter Beijing to take the exam, but also bring all kinds of local products from their hometowns, sell them along the way for money, and take it as the norm. My aunt is capable of being a young woman in the Kaifeng catering industry, and she is not decent.
After drawing his eyebrows and lips, he wore a blue and dark pattern flower bag crown, and put on a purple flowered horse pattern bandeau collar shirt over the thin Luo skirt.
Yao Huan looked into the bronze mirror, Mom, she is at least ten years old.
But her heart is obedient to this dress. His current reputation is a military martyr who has a stable archway, and of course he can't dress up to a bright girl.
Whatever, it's a godfather and godmother, not a blind date. Yo, I just don't know, the sick grandson of the Zeng family who almost became her husband, didn't she show up?
Yao Huan stayed in her aunt's courtyard smoothly for almost ten days, like a bird swimming leisurely in her comfort zone, and finally went out to meet guests, or went to the banquet of the historical celebrity Zeng Bu's family, she was really a little nervous before going to sleep last night.
However, she soon began to educate herself in a relaxed and peaceful manner.
I am a modern person who traveled back in 2020, I held a memorial service for my parents when I was a child, resisted campus bullying when I was young, participated in the college entrance examination of thousands of troops, saw the wonderful life of 985 University, interviewed Fortune 500 companies, reviewed hundreds of millions of projects, dated scumbags, underwent chemotherapy, and signed an organ donation consent form before my last life.
A young elite like me in the 21st century am still afraid of dealing with those ancients whose life direction was known for a long time?
