Chapter 120: Spring Snow (2)

"You did it?" Jiang Yang looked Xinyue up and down, she really didn't look like she could cook.

"You taste it first." As she spoke, Feng'er also brought the sugar water.

Jiang Yang stretched out his hand, picked it up in disbelief, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it, there was only a very strong fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and some aromas of red dates, all of which were delicious, he put his mind at ease, picked up a spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup, and put it between his lips and teeth.

He thinks the taste is a little sweet, but for people who eat desserts a lot, it's still okay. The soup is very smooth, there are red dates in it, white fungus and some noodle lilies, the most unique is the aroma of lotus seeds, the aftertaste is a little sweet, but it is also very refreshing. ”

Xinyue nodded, "This is a unique secret taught to me by Mama Wang, saying that it is not good to say that the sugar water is only sweet, if the aftertaste is a little sweet, the level of this taste is immediately clear, so I put a little lotus heart, I didn't expect it to be really tasted by you." ”

Jiang Yang saw that although she was a little excited, she was still tired by the affairs of the Queen Mother, and there was a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, and he was not very good at saying nice things, so he said, "It tastes good"

"This is the first time I've done it, and I didn't expect it to be successful." Xinyue was still a little proud in her words, which greatly strengthened her self-confidence.

"Not bad, not bad. The heat is also well controlled, and the sugar lotus seeds have been completely stewed, so you will definitely cook. Xinyue listened to his compliments, and then couldn't help laughing, "I don't know how to cook at all." This is the first time I've cooked this sweet water in my life, but since it's successful, it seems that I still have some talent. ”

"It's good to be talented. But God rewards hard work, as long as you practice diligently, why worry about not making a good dish. Jiang Yang sincerely encouraged.

Xinyue nodded, and took a sip of sweet water herself, and the sweetness of the aftertaste really made the layers richer.

After eating the sugar water, it was time for the small banquet prepared by Xinyue, she originally planned to enjoy it alone, but Jiang Yang happened to be there at this time, and brought such a box of things to herself, so Xinyue still invited him.

Jiang Yang was at the New Moon, and he didn't eat it once or twice, and the food here in the New Moon was really delicious, so he agreed without thinking about it. He came out of the palace about before lunch, so he hadn't eaten lunch yet. Xinyue also wanted to have lunch at the small banquet, and it happened that the two of them were both a little hungry at this time.

In the middle is the mutton pot specially requested by the new moon. After the beginning of spring, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. I'm afraid that the pot will have to be put away, and I won't take it out again until the beginning of winter, so Xinyue wants to eat it again at the end.

The bottom of the pot is covered with a thick layer of radish, so that it absorbs the bottom taste, and can also make the soup clear and greasy, and the radish is placed on top of the meatballs made of meat slurry, egg dumplings and other things, and the mutton is covered with a little fat flower, first the whole piece is cooked, and then cut into not thick or thin slices, the top of the mutton, spread a layer of cabbage, so in winter, there are only these vegetables that can be eaten. This is how the lamb is made on the side of the pot.

The other dishes are also Xinyue's favorite food, since it is a small banquet in the beginning of spring, it is natural to have some spring.

For example, this Longjing fried shrimp, is the best spring dish, although Jinling this year snowy, but, the spring can be picked Longjing is the vigorous time, picked some new sharp leaves, and the heart of the shrimp fried together, for the tea at this time, into the dish is not worthy of bitterness, eat will be tender and soft glutinous, as well as the fragrance of tea, is a full seasonal dish.

A fresh soup of spring bamboo shoots and bacon and white meat boiled together, in Jinling, Hangzhou and other places, is a must-eat in spring every year, but it is still early, and the bamboo shoots have not yet been made, so there is no way to eat it. However, as soon as the stewed meat with winter bamboo shoots arrived, it was placed in Jiang Yang's hand, Jiang Yang looked at the oily sauce, and couldn't help but comment, "At first glance, it is made by a quite experienced master." The color of this soy sauce is just right. ”

After hearing this, Feng'er smiled proudly: "Then please general, let's talk about the taste after you taste it." ”

"Okay" said, Jiang Yang picked up a piece of cooked bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth, salty and sweet flavors were intertwined, and there was a meaty plumpness, Jiang Yang nodded, "The taste is good, and the heat is just right." ”

Feng'er was a little proud, which completely made Xinyue laugh, "Didn't I just say a few words about you in the kitchen, why do you bother to find people everywhere to taste your dishes." I think you're really proud, and since you want people to praise you, okay, I'll praise you. The food you cook is the best, the porridge is delicious, the stewed meat with winter bamboo shoots is also delicious, and I like every dish you make. ”

"Thank you, girl, for the compliment." After listening to Xinyue's praise, Feng'er was naturally beautiful, and the corners of her mouth were raised.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yang asked.

The crescent moon told him what had just happened to their master and servant in the kitchen. Jiang Yang also smiled after hearing this, "I have never seen a slave like your girl, who wants to be praised by her master so much, looking at her like this, she is happier than you rewarding her with two silver ingots." ”

Feng'er nodded, and said in a loud voice, "The slave and maid don't worry about food and clothing in front of the girl, and there is still a monthly amount of silver to get every month, and the slave and maid are not short of money, but the girl compliments from time to time, so that the slave's heart is sweeter than eating honey." ”

"Girl, it's snowing." When the new moon was about to say something more, Fei'er hurried in outside, and there was still unmelted snow on her head and shoulders, which was only a moment away, and the snow outside was so heavy.

"How is it possible, I saw the sun when I came just now." This snow, the road is difficult to walk on snowy days, it can be regarded as an official road covered with snow, get up and go immediately, the horse will also slip, Jiang Yang thought with some worry.

"General Jiang, look at the snow on the slave's body, but in the blink of an eye, this goose feather snow will fall, I'm afraid that if we talk, the ground will be white outside in a while." Fei'er dusted the snow off her shoulders and said to Jiang Yang.

"Let's go out and have a look." Xinyue likes snow the most, and before she could take out her cloak, she couldn't help but run out.

Just went out, a cold wind swept in, looking at the heavy snow flying in the sky, where is there a little bit of spring?

However, in the vast snow, the cold air lingered on the tip of her nose, Xinyue let out a cold breath, but the corners of her mouth smiled upward, now she felt comfortable, unrestrained, the big stone that just pressed on her heart, also with this heavy snow, temporarily disappeared.

Xinyue didn't care about Jiang Yang, who was standing behind her, she stretched out her arms, her wide sleeves were like her wings, she raised her face, and let the cold snow fall on her face. on the eyelashes.

Jiang Yang looked at the smile on Xinyue's face, and a wave of emotion welled up in her heart, if she could always be so free, then she was willing to do anything for it.
