Chapter 76: Peach Blossom Wine
Hua Mian put the jade cup next to Sikong Yu's hand, the wine in the cup was not like the usual golden yellow, but light gold with pink, and there were a few peach blossoms at the bottom of the cup.
"Peach Blossom Wine"
Without waiting for Sikong Yu to ask, Hua Mian took the initiative to say, "The flower was picked a month ago before the peach blossoms, washed and dried, marinated with coarse salt mixed with white sugar, the wine is boiled and added, the alcohol will continue to evaporate during the cooking process, and the taste of the peach blossoms will be highlighted after the alcohol is reduced."
Listening to Huamian's explanation, although some terms are not very clear, but it does not affect the aroma of the wine, Sikong Yu picked up the jade cup, the golden flowers on the wall of the white jade cup were reflected in the light-colored liquor, and the reddish peach blossoms at the bottom of the cup shook with the end of the cup, making it all look so pleasing to the eye.
Sikong Yu held the cup in one hand and lightly held the bottom of the cup in the other, moved the jade cup to his lips, tilted it upward, and took a small sip of wine.
After the wine is eaten, the sweetness of the peach blossoms instantly disperses, making the freshness of the silver carp aftertaste that has just been left in the mouth even higher, and the lips can't help but rise slightly.
Oops! This is also too good-looking, Hua Mian was stunned unconsciously, such a beauty, even if it is described as a national color and fragrance, it is not an exaggeration.
At the end of the meal, Li'er served the soup, compared with the vegetables, the soup seemed a little plain, a few small white balls in the small soup bowl plus two blades of grass, and a few drops of oil floating on the soup surface, which was crystal clear.
Stir gently with the porcelain spoon in your hand, hold a ball and take a bite, "This is also silver carp?" Different from the delicate taste of the fish fillet, Sikong Yu only felt that this meatball was tender and easy to chew at all.
Hua Mian, who began to clean up the food box on the side, looked up and said, "This ball is made of fish fillets and the remaining parts of the fish body spines in the mixed vegetables, and the small spines that are not easy to pick out are also ground into powder, mixed with egg whites, no other seasonings, just salt and herbs."
"Where are you from? When did you enter the house? Why don't you remember when there was one more chef with this kind of skill in the house, Sikong Yu put down the bowl and watched Hua Mian put the empty bowl back into the food box.
"My hometown is in the countryside outside Shaoyang Town, a few years ago, my family was affected by the disaster and I was the only one left, about three months ago, I was taken in by the Ninth Young Master outside Pingyang Station, and I know some hometown dishes."
"Oh?" Sikong Yu held his chin with his hand and watched Hua Mian clean up the table, judging from his movements, he was indeed a person with life experience, but he was not used to serving people, although his appearance was ordinary and her skin was fair, she didn't look like an ordinary peasant girl.
Hua Mian didn't expect the other party's observation of herself, and after taking the tableware back to the food box, she still quickly made a blessing and left.
His eyes followed Hua Mian out of the door, until Li'er lowered the curtain, and Sikong Yu got up and returned to the couch to sit down.
Li'er held a plate of dim sum left by Hua Mian on the table and asked, "Miss, do you want to eat dim sum now?" ”
"I can't eat it, I didn't eat less today, let's put it aside, I'll move when I'm hungry later" Sikong Yu seemed to think of something, and asked Li'er, "Have you heard anyone mention that Xia Huamian in the garden today?" ”
"Never heard"
"Tomorrow when you walk around the yard, find out more about the chef."
"Yes"
When Hua Mian returned to the big kitchen with the food box, he saw that the few chefs who didn't finish work early, and when he saw that Hua Mian was back, he stepped forward, "How is it?" ”
"What is Miss Six's reaction?"
"It's been so long to come back"
