Chapter 67. reward
The eldest lady is not like Bai Xianyu, her thinking has been firmly tied by "pastry".
At a glance, she spotted two dishes on the table that she had never seen before.
One of them, with a very strange appearance, was a plain dish, with a thick golden broth as the base, and a large meatball was placed directly in the center of the broth, without any other modifications.
On weekdays, such a dish that makes people feel meaty at a glance, the eldest lady categorically dislikes it, but I don't know if it is today, Bai Xianyu is so noisy, she is a little hungry, and the eldest lady looks at this big meatball, and she actually feels a little bit of index finger movement.
Diancui on the side has served the eldest lady for many years, so he can naturally make a judgment from the eldest lady's expression, so he immediately took the chopstick, broke the big meatball, and picked up a small piece and put it in the eldest lady's bowl.
On the other hand, because I couldn't find the "pastry", the white pomelo who was still angry smelled the aroma of meat, and forgot to be angry for a while, but felt a little hungry.
She didn't need to help with Cui, so she took a piece of chopsticks from the plate, put it in her bowl, and then directly used the spoon in the bowl to pull the meat chop into her mouth.
The aroma of the meat is mixed with the sweet and salty aroma of the crab, a delicious experience that has never been seen before, and it hits the taste buds of white pomelo.
With a slight sip, you don't need to chew, and the meat in your mouth will easily melt, fat but not greasy, full of flavor!
"Goodong" Bai Xianyu swallowed the meat in his mouth, and the spoon in his hand couldn't wait to reach for the plate containing the big meatballs again.
I don't care if my mother eats it or not!
At this moment, Bai Xianyu was so excited, she found something more delicious than the hot pot prepared by Jing Wu!
Although the eldest lady was also amazed by the taste of this dish and wanted to eat a few more bites, but seeing her daughter's impatient appearance, she restrained her thoughts and stopped the dotted cui beside her with her eyes.
The eldest lady staggered her eyes and glanced at another new dish.
"Serve me some soup." , the eldest lady said.
At this time, there are two soups on the table, one of which is the hibiscus soup that is common in Zhining Temple, which is one of the very few dishes that the eldest lady prefers.
This soup looks simple, but it is extremely difficult to grasp the proportion and heat of each ingredient, before the heat arrives, this hibiscus will not become shaped, but if the heat is over, this hibiscus will be old.
At this moment, the eldest lady looked at it, and the soup she was talking about was obviously not hibiscus soup.
It's a different portion.
Dian Cui took a clean empty bowl again with one hand, held a soup spoon in the other, and gently scooped up a spoonful of light yellow and translucent soup in another soup.
In this soup bowl, there is nothing but soup, and all the ingredients for boiling the soup are fished out, leaving only the soup that absorbs the essence of the raw materials.
The eldest lady took the soup bowl, the meat of different large meatballs was fragrant, and this bowl of soup was served closely, and she faintly smelled a fresh and sweet smell.
"Not bad."
In addition to "taste", food is also "fragrant".
The fragrance of this bowl of soup is very much in line with the eldest lady's heart.
When the eldest lady was about to drink the first sip of soup, Bai Xianyu had already destroyed the whole big meatball by herself, and wiped out half of the Tai.
Suddenly, Bai Xianyu made a "......" sound.
Then, "Boom...... ......"One after another, I can't stop."
The eldest lady hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand, and with her free hand, she gently patted Bai Xianyu's back.
Crying and laughing, "What are you doing in such a hurry to eat Yuzu...... Mother won't rob you. ”
After the eldest lady said this, Bai Xianyu was stunned and blushed.
Instantly choked and suffocated.
The eldest lady was so anxious that she freed up her hand and picked up the soup bowl that she had just put down.
"Come to Yuzu, drink some soup, and ...... smoothly"
Although Bai Xianyu was extremely embarrassed at this time, the feeling of being choked was really uncomfortable, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment.
With his mother's hand, he drank a small bowl of soup in three or two strokes.
"Whew...... Bitter ......"
Bai Xianyu raised his head from the soup bowl, sticking out his tongue with a bitter face.
She couldn't help but wonder if she couldn't have inadvertently drunk her mother's medicine...... It's a bit bitter......
Bai Xianyu's bitter appearance at the moment amused the eldest lady, and the eldest lady couldn't help but joke.
"You girl, the soup is sweet and salty, how can it be bitter?"
Bai Xianyu stuck out his tongue and replied vaguely, "It's a little bitter, salty, really." ”
While the mother and daughter were talking, Dian Cui had already refilled a bowl of soup and put it in the eldest lady's hand.
The eldest lady looked at the strange-looking Bai Xianyu, and said that Bai Xianyu was teasing her to drink this soup, so she glanced at her funny daughter with disgust, and did not poke her.
Pick up the soup bowl and use the soup.
But I don't want to, this soup is indeed astringent and bitter in the mouth, the eldest lady couldn't help but wrinkle, and it was strange to say, after a short period of astringency and bitterness, it was actually slowly sweet.
Swallow it in one gulp.
The soup slid down her throat, and she felt a strange sense of transparency, which emanated from her cavity to her whole body.
The eldest lady couldn't help but take a few more sips, and this sense of transparency became more and more obvious.
Even the feeling of suffocation in the lungs has dissipated slightly.
Bai Xianyu looked at her mother, drank the bitter soup one after another, and quickly scooped a spoonful of meat into her mouth, suppressing the astringent bitterness from the root of her tongue.
After Bai Xianyu chewed the spoonful of meat and swallowed it slowly, the eldest lady was already drinking the second bowl of soup.
Bai Xianyu frowned and grinned.
"Hmm...... Mother, is this your medicine, it's not delicious, salty, bitter and astringent, mother, do you want to eat meat, press it......"
Use meat to press the medicine, which is what the white pomelo can think of......
The eldest lady put down the second bowl of soup that she had drunk half of and felt a lot more comfortable, but this transparent and comfortable feeling was obviously less and less the more she drank.
At this time, the eldest lady had already reacted, what herbs should have been added to this soup, and it happened to be right for her current illness, so it would make her feel like a long drought and a rainstorm.
"It's not medicine, it's soup, can't Yuzu drink it's broth?" The eldest lady said.
Bai Xianyu shook her head quickly, she just remembered that it was bitter......
The eldest lady chuckled, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, there was such a skilled cook in the big kitchen.
Turning her head, through the veil, she looked at Hanzi who was standing quietly a little farther away, and called out "Hanzi".
When Han Zi heard the voice of the eldest lady, she immediately trembled, then calmed down again, turned around, faced the eldest lady, bowed down, and pretended to be calm and replied "yes".
Because Bai Xianyu is really heroic in eating, and the eldest lady does not want to detain her, so when the two of them eat, they will serve one by one, and everyone else will wait behind through the veil.
At this moment, the eldest lady, through the veil, just listening to the voice, can think of Han Zi's stupid and cowardly appearance.
Although the mud can't support the wall, fortunately, it can still run errands.
The eldest lady said, "Hanzi, you come in."
Han Ziyan heard the alarm bell in her heart, and now although she is no longer responsible for the meal and daily relay between Zhining Courtyard and the big kitchen, but today's meal is her hand. It can't be that shabby boy made something wrong! She knew what she could make and eat just like that!
Han Zi was apprehensive, but she could only bite the bullet, lifted the veil, lowered her head, and walked into the dining area of the mother and daughter.
At this time, the eldest lady raised her hand and pointed to the soup that Bai Xianyu said was "medicine".
The tone was flat.
"Which cook made this dish, tomorrow, you give ten taels to this cook, let him continue to make this soup."
When Han Zi heard this, she was relieved all of a sudden, as long as it wasn't wrong, she immediately raised her head boldly, and when she saw the soup that the eldest lady was referring to, she couldn't help but be surprised.
How could it be this dish!
is just such a humble little cook, and after a few casual tinkering, the things he made actually not only entered the eyes of the eldest lady.
Even, the eldest lady will reward him!
Or ten taels!
When the government bought him, I am afraid that it would not take ten taels!
Could it be that the eldest lady actually has a very unique taste?
