Chapter 32 Eating a bowl of cat ears gives you the strength to teach people
At first glance, when he saw this bowl of cat ear pimple soup, Yao Huan couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
Although she is not from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, she is too familiar with this dim sum.
Bring water to a boil and pour in the diced ham, shiitake mushrooms and batted shrimp. After boiling the compound aroma of the beast aquarium and mushrooms, hold the dough that has been kneaded many times and has not yet opened in your hand, pull off a small piece the size of the muzhi cover, knead it and pinch it, turn it into the shape of cat ears and monkey ears, and sprinkle it into the fresh soup. The fence must constantly stir the pot to prevent the small dough from sinking to the bottom of the pot, so that the cute cat ears of the jade do not turn into black and yellow burnt ears.
This cat ear is a unique snack in Hangzhou. It is rumored that when Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, one day he was climbing the Chenghuang Mountain in Hangzhou to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, and suddenly encountered a heavy rain, and everyone was busy hugging the emperor to find a house in the mountains to take shelter from the rain. The rain kept falling, but Qianlong was hungry and wanted to eat noodles. The owner of the house does not know how to roll noodles, so he takes the dough and kneades it into small flowers, and makes a pot of gnocchi soup with ham and mushrooms.
Qianlong was curious and asked the name of this dim sum, and the owner happened to see his cat passing by, so he named it "cat ears".
The soup base for cat ears, ham, shiitake mushrooms, and small river shrimp are must-haves, and other accessories can be meat or vegetarian, depending on the preferences of diners. If you add beans, you must have tender peas in season before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, which are easy to ripen and fresh. In modern times, some restaurants use the imported North American green beans to fill the number, which saves costs, but brings a grassy smell to the good cat ear soup base, and this kind of grassy smell is absolutely absent from local small peas.
If you are more particular, it is also good to cut sea cucumbers or dried scallops into small pieces.
Yao Huan remembered that in his previous life, the person who had brought him extreme joy and deep pain took him to the West Lake many times, spring, summer, autumn and winter, sunny, rainy and snowy. He said that the clear lake is not as good as the rain lake, the rain lake is not as good as the moon lake, and the moon lake is not as good as the snow lake.
He told her the allusions to the capital city of the south of the Yangtze River, where the lakes and mountains are beautiful, and because he knew that she was a glutton, he took her to taste authentic dishes and snacks. The cat's ears with sea cucumber and dried scallops were the ones he took her to eat.
Seafood is a double-edged sword, added to the snack of dishes, whether it is the icing on the cake or self-defeating, it all depends on the quality of the seafood. The cat ears he took her to eat, the sea cucumber chose the sea cucumber instead of the cucumber, which is not as soft and muscular as the cucumber, and the cucumber is very in place and chewy. Dried scallops, the column filament is full and tender, with a pleasing light amber color, and the river shrimp is really together, the seafood and river fresh are combined to contribute to the amazing taste of the aquarium.
Yao Huan saw that he loved to eat this dim sum, and felt that there was no difficulty, so he bought the best Jinhua Dongyang's Xuefang Jiang ham, and learned to make stinging ginseng by himself, but after practicing four or five times, the cat ears made had taught him to eat so much.
They finally don't have to work overtime at night, nest in a small home, eat a bowl of cat ears with complete meat and vegetables and staple food, iron the hungry intestines comfortably, and then open a can of bare beer, watch movies or read books with Yao Huan's lemon chicken feet, and occasionally look up at each other and smile, it is really a fairy-like day......
By asking the piano book for the rest of his life, how can it be like a flag covering three points.
In front of greater temptation, waiting for idle change is old people's hearts.
Yao Huan doesn't want to reminisce anymore, people are dressed a thousand years ago, what are they doing when their hearts are still left in a thousand years?
She then turned her attention to savoring the bowl of pastry in front of her. There are no sea cucumbers and dried scallops, but the bamboo shoots are really good, and the peas are also the only vegetables of the season, and the best thing is the ham inside, which tastes exactly the same as the best Jiang leg in later generations.
I just heard that my aunt also called this snack "cat ears", and what I tasted at this moment was authentic Zhejiang-style ham, so it can be seen that the statements of later generations are as unreliable as many self-media.
What Qianlong Emperor went down to the south of the Yangtze River to give birth to the good story of cat ears, what Southern Song Dynasty anti-gold famous general Zong Ze's army accepted the pork legs that the people treated, and invented ham after eating it.
In the hall, everyone's wives ate this dinner peacefully, and their faces were more comfortable and beautiful, and Shen Fuzhi opened his mouth and asked Steward Yang about the changes in Yao's house.
Steward Yang looked at the child who had just put down the soup bowl, and Shen Fuzhi immediately understood how to say some things in front of the doll, so he said to Meituan: "Brother is staying here tonight, you take Brother to wash, and first coax him to sleep on the couch in the East Chamber's study." ”
Meituan responded, got up and went to lead the younger brother of the Yao family, the younger brother obeyed his words and obediently followed Meituan like a little cocoon, but in his eyes when he looked at Yao Huan, it was clear that he was still a little doll's attachment to his loved ones.
Yao Huan instinctively smiled softly at him, and secretly said in his heart, it seems that in the Yao house, the relationship between the girl of the Yao family and her half-brother is quite close.
Steward Yang sighed deeply and said, "Ah Lang continued that woman as a step-room in Qinzhou, at the beginning, she looked at Ah Lang's face, and she didn't treat Sister Huan too harshly. Ah Lang died last year, but after three months, I felt that something was wrong with her. But I'm a subordinate, I eat a bite of food on my back, and I live in one corner of the eaves, so why do I have so many mouths. ”
Shen Fuzhi sneered: "Yang Weng, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people are close and close, let's not care about the filth of the wicked woman stealing men and selling the house, just say that Sister Huan was married to the Zeng family by the wicked woman and the official media lady, don't you have a number in your heart?" ”
"You are the old man who was on an errand for Yao Dalang when he married my sister, did my sister treat you badly when she was alive? Huan'er's mother came to Kaifeng from Qinzhou to visit relatives here, and she was reluctant to buy clothes, so she didn't forget to bring two good brocade gowns to your house. What about you, how did you do to the concubine she left behind? That wicked woman imprisoned Huan'er, did she tie you up too? ”
"You're a man, you usually go in and out to buy and buy a lot of opportunities, won't you think of secretly reporting a letter to me to save people? On the day of my greeting, you were still dressed decently and sent Huan'er to Zeng's house. ”
Shen Fuzhi's tone is not high, but he is like a series of interrogations one after another, and he is so angry that he can't refute it.
Yao Huan saw that Steward Yang had easily recovered her face, and became embarrassed and guilty again, and said in her heart, aunt is aunt, one yard is one yard, when she wants to help you, she is a bodhisattva, when she feels that there is a reason to scare you, that face is wiped and she is a female evil god.
Steward Yang's face was as red as a piece of pork liver, and he pursed his lips, and in addition to being ashamed, he saw the grievances and helplessness.
"Aunt is right, I'm really, cough ......"
He turned to Yao Huan and said slowly, "Sister Huan, I watched you grow up, you are a good boy, and I am indeed a hundred of you this time." After Ah Lang left, I helped your stepmother finish the funeral, and she told me that the orphans and widows at home were inconvenient to accommodate the male servant, so they wanted to rush me back to my hometown. You also know that in the past, when the Yellow River flooded, my mother-in-law, son and daughter-in-law, and a pair of grandchildren were all drowned, and the Yao family did not allow me to provide for the elderly, so I had to give me a pension money, right? Ah Lang left in a hurry, and didn't leave a word, your stepmother saw that I wanted money, so she put forward a condition, that is, it is your family affair......"
He couldn't go on.
Needless to say, how could Shen and Yao not understand that Yao Huan's stepmother was using pension money to threaten and let Steward Yang hide the matter of forcing her to marry her daughter.
Shen Fuzhi opened his mouth and said: "The most poisonous woman's heart, if a woman is calculating, don't you men jump into the pit stupidly?" You see, now you have been involved in evil things, and you haven't received the money, have you? Overnight, there was no shelter. ”
Steward Yang was silent.
The atmosphere in Shen Fuzhi's hall was silent and suppressed for a long time, and Fang said: "Yang Weng, in terms of age, you can also be my uncle and uncle, I don't want to teach you to be angry, but, but you men, how can you not understand that you can't make a deal with that ill-hearted person, let alone be an accomplice for them!" ”
Well? What do you mean? Yao Huan looked at the way his aunt spoke, "You men", this seems to be talking about the uncle who voted for Cai Jing's door again?
