Chapter 153: His Highness VS Green Tea
"I don't remember much." Yi Renli frowned and thought about it, turned his chopsticks quickly, and didn't forget to wink at a man who was serving food, "The side branches of the Yi family in Changchuan add up to more than a dozen rooms, occupying thousands of hectares of land in Changchuan, dozens of large and small manors, and countless cooks. What's more, I have been in Tianxingtai in my early years, specializing in all kinds of strange medicines, and I can't see outsiders in my spare time, but I did hear that the chefs in the house brought them from other places. You know, the Changchuan Yi family has a big business, and even these servants must know the roots, so they brought one or two back in the early years, and they had to be very good at cooking, and then they locked the door and no longer allowed outsiders to serve. Come to think of it, if someone in the Han Mansion really went to the Yi family to be a cook, he would have been an old man for many years now. ”
Lin Feibai had been eating two bites casually, and had been listening to them, and at this time he also said: "If there is really a cook in the Han Mansion who has been serving in the Changchuan Yi family for many years, you can inquire about it." ”
Yi Renli and Wen Zhen both nodded. Everyone knows that this is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and if you want to seize the power of the Yi family on the territory of the Yi family in Changchuan, which has the right to fight, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and it is a problem to enter the Yi family first, so if there is a possibility, you can't give up.
"Then I have to go to Hanfu to have a look. It's better to be able to get in touch with each other. Wen Zhen stood up, "Let's go." ”
Several people left a flag for the mother-in-law, in exchange for the mother-in-law enthusiastically pointing out how to enter the door of the Han family - the Han family, as the head of the local food chamber of commerce, opened the door of the mansion today to welcome the entrance to the food. As long as you can provide fresh food, you can enter the door. If you can produce a famous dish that everyone recognizes, you can enter the inner hall, and if you enter the inner hall, you will have more chances to win, and once you win, you will have the opportunity to meet the old imperial chef of the Han family and get his advice.
For Wen Zhen, she just wanted to know if there was any Han family who went to Changchuan Yi's house to be cooks, and if there was any chance to get to know this cook.
Following the mother-in-law's guidance to the door of the Han family, Wen Zhen also saw the row of dishes, and those who wanted to be a little ambitious showed their skills in front of the Han family.
When she passed in front of the shed, she heard a few people inside enviously discussing that there was a son-in-law just now, who was favored by Miss Han and invited to the inner hall, thinking that she could enter the hall tonight.
Everyone described the good fortune of the boy by his face in an ambiguous tone, and let out a burst of snickering laughter.
Wen Zhen's mind drifted to someone for a moment, and then he denied himself, isn't it that coincidental?
She wanted to enter the door, but was immediately stopped, and Han Jiamen politely and resolutely asked her to show her specialty dishes.
Wen Zhen didn't buy the ingredients at all, and it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, so she was not in a hurry, and said to the doorman: "Please bring a pen and paper, I have a prayer post, I want to come to your mansion to see the worship post, so let me in." ”
The doorman looked at her suspiciously, but still brought a pen and paper, Wen Zhen waved it, handed the paper to the doorman, and the doorman held it and went to the inner hall.
……
The young lady of the Han family personally led Yan Sui inside.
She first asked Jiake's surname. The guards all frowned, thinking that His Royal Highness may not be willing to say a surname casually, but if the surname is Yan, I am afraid that this woman who seems to be very lively may think of His Royal Highness King Yi, who is stationed outside the city at the moment, after all, the surname Yan is rare.
Yan Sui said: "The surname is Wen." ”
Han Fangyin: "I've seen Gongzi Wen." ”
Guards: "......"
Chinese glanced at Yan Sui, His Royal Highness's expression was very calm, but only the guards like them, who had been following for a long time, could see the chagrin hidden under the calm eyes.
Came out of his mouth without thinking.
Tsk, Miss Wen's charm is really high.
Han Fangyin can't hear the huge amount of information contained in a surname, she is very owner-like all the way, introduces the scenery in the garden to Yan Sui, and points to a very central stone in the center of a pond and says: "This stone is a beautiful stone transported by water for thousands of miles in Anzhou, and has the reputation of 'thin, transparent, leaky, and beautiful', although it is a stone, it is more expensive than silver, and a boulder is enough to have a thousand catties, which is given by Fuzun and his father when they worship." ”
Although her tone was calm and modest, her eyes could not help but be smug, and she smiled sideways, waiting for the guest's vibrating eyes.
Yan Sui didn't even glance at it.
The language guards glanced at it.
Oh, it seems to be the same kind as the stepping stone in the lotus pond in the courtyard of Lord Wen, but this one is much smaller.
"Childe, please look at the green chrysanthemum, which is a famous product in Beijing, needs to be maintained in a greenhouse, and a thousand branches are selected and cultivated by famous craftsmen. Its color is clear and blue, like flowing waves and distant mountains. One flower is worth a thousand gold. ”
The language guards glanced at it.
This chrysanthemum is really good.
Last time, Lord Wen seemed to use this kind of fried chrysanthemums, but His Royal Highness didn't like to eat them very much, and a few of them ate a basket.
Yan Sui glanced at it.
"It's a good flower."
Miss Han was in good spirits - the garden was introduced for a long time, and at this moment she got a word of praise from this guest, so she couldn't help but be excited.
"If Childe likes it, I would like to give it to ...... with this flower"
"My wife likes to fry it."
Miss Han: "......"
After a while, she took a silent breath, her eyes flowed, and she said, "I never thought that my son was already married." ”
Yan Sui said lightly: "There is no need to talk to outsiders. ”
Miss Han choked again, and suddenly covered her lips and smiled, "Childe is really worried about Madame." I just saw that my son was hungry, and I thought that my son had no one to take care of him. This is my sister's, isn't it, since the son is such a good couple, how can she still be so neglectful? ”
Chinese's eyebrows raised, and German's eyebrows lowered.
This Miss Han is very interesting.
Yan Sui didn't answer, so there was no need to talk to outsiders.
He didn't answer, Miss Han didn't say any more, pointed to the front and said with a smile: "The Inner Flower Hall is there." If Childe and the others taste anything they like, they might as well tell me, and I'll let them make more for Childe. ”
Yan Sui turned his head to look at Chinese, Chinese understood, lifted the box prepared in his hand, and said, "My subordinates will remember to bring it back......" He glanced at Miss Han and added a few more words, "...... To Madame. ”
Miss Han suffocated again, and then looked at Yan Sui with a smile, "Sister is really blessed, and she has such a deep affection and righteousness for her son." Fangyin is so envious of her sister. ”
Yan Sui raised her eyebrows, "Who is your sister?" ”
Miss Han: "......"
There are several steps ahead, and when you go up the stairs and pass through the white gauze curtain, you will find the inner flower hall. Miss Han personally led the way, and went up to the last step, when she suddenly let out an ouch and tilted her body towards Yan Sui.
Yan Sui dodged perfectly.
Behind him is Chinese, and Chinese dodges perfectly.
Chinese is followed by German, which is perfectly dodged.
Behind German is Japanese, and Japanese is a perfect dodge.
……
Yan Sui and his language guards flashed into a string of gourds, and Miss Han rolled into a string of gourds - her group of maids didn't help at first, but then they couldn't help them, and they were knocked down and rolled into a pile together.
The woman screamed, Miss Han endured the pain, still looked at Yan Sui, and exclaimed: "Son, please help me." ”
On her left was the maid, in front of her was Italian, and she had to call Yan Sui, who was three people away from her.
Of course, Yan Sui couldn't hear it.
So far.
It's tiring to walk through.
He lifted the white gauze curtain and went straight to his inner flower hall to eat.
The inner flower hall is not small, and there are also some people who are appreciating the food, a long table is full of dazzling, all kinds of dishes, and there are people who are constantly sending in new tricks, when Yan Sui entered, everyone couldn't help but look sideways, but because his bearing was really extraordinary, everyone didn't dare to come over and interrogate.
Most of the members present are members of the Changping Food Chamber of Commerce, most of them are wealthy families with big businesses, and there are also local officials, who have a lot of contacts on weekdays, and they all know that the young lady of the Han family is a character, her mother died early, and she has been a substitute for her mother since she was a child, inheriting her father's business, and following her father to show up for business, and also exercising the responsibility of backyard management on behalf of her mother, entertaining female dependents, and all kinds of internal and external affairs are coming, which is very famous in the local area.
It is said that most of such characters will have the name of the Iron Lady, but this girl does not act on weekdays, she is quite popular, and she is well-versed in everything. It's just that he is not young and has not yet married, it is said that it is because he looks down on the children of wealthy families in Changping, and he is bent on finding a peerless man to be worthy of himself.
On weekdays, this Miss Han is not shy about Changping's sons and brothers, and now she personally leads Yan Sui into the door, and these distinguished guests have already been privately reported by their own servants, so they all look at Yan Sui with burning eyes.
Yan Sui has always been accustomed to being looked at, and he didn't give a single corner of his eye, he sat calmly, and Miss Han limped to personally lead someone to fetch food for him.
Everyone frowned, they couldn't get used to this arrogant style, and several of Miss Han's maids were also on the side, gently pulling the corners of her clothes, and said, "Miss, although this person is born with good looks, his temperament is really bad." It's not worth being so condescending like you. ”
Another maid said, "Yes, miss, there are so many people in the hall watching." This man is so ignorant, don't say anything unpleasant. ”
Another maid said, "Miss, how can you look at this person so differently, it's just an embroidered pillow with a better appearance." Which son of this Changping family is not fascinated by you? Why bother to be idle with this person, and let alone other people...... There is a lady. ”
Han Fangyin glanced back at Yan Sui, who was calm and calm in everyone's eyes, shook her head slightly, and said, "No, he doesn't have a wife." ”
"How do you know, miss?"
"When he said that there was a wife, his guards looked very strange. Apparently this lady made up on the fly. ”
"Isn't that Miss Rejection also a rejection? What do you care about him? ”
Han Fangyin covered her lips and smiled.
"You're just going to look at your face and lose your temper."
When the maids asked again, she only laughed and didn't answer.
Whether it is a maid with shallow knowledge, or a guest with different thoughts, or only see the face, or only see the temperament, but cannot see the person's natural dignity and bearing.
She has been in business with her father since she was a child, and at the same time presided over the feed, not only has the insight of going south and north, but also has the finesse of a woman in the boudoir. Compared with the young ladies who don't go out of the door, she has seen too many people and things, and naturally formed her own set of skills for looking at people.
At the first glance of this man, I knew that he must be extraordinary, and he must have been born in Tianjing.
His guards, the piping of the boots under their feet, are all made of Tianjing ink brocade.
She introduced the scenery in the garden, her family's well-known garden in two states, not to mention in his eyes, even his guards' eyes were ridiculed.
Some things can't be pretended, she looks at people, likes to look at people's subordinates, the vision of the people below is wide, and the vision of the head of the family is naturally more extraordinary.
Born in Tianjing, he can afford to use guards, and it is no longer the category of ordinary rich people.
She is not short of money, she doesn't want to marry a merchant who is the right person, the Han family wants to go to the next level, only to marry with the official eunuch family, and the local official eunuch in Changping, she can't even look down on the son of the Fuzun family.
She is Han Fangyin, smart and capable, and should be worthy of a nobler man in the world.
For this reason, I have been stumbling again and again, and seeing that I am getting older, I gradually began to feel a little anxious.
But I met him at this time.
How can you be willing to let go?
She smiled, carefully selecting dishes and snacks that might suit his tastes, until she piled up the large trays in the hands of the maids in several layers, and then came over like a flower butterfly.
His feet didn't hurt anymore, but he still slowed down when he walked over, frowning slightly, showing a little pain that he had endured, but the corners of his lips hung a generous and kind smile, towards Yan Sui.
Yan Sui ...... to the maids Tray in hand.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Han Fangyin's eyes, and then she retracted, sat down next to Yan Sui, and introduced him to the various foods here.
Yan Sui watched it for a long time, and slowly picked out a crab roe xiaolong soup dumpling.
Han Fangyin hurriedly arranged a vinegar dish for him in person, and ordered someone to take the finely chopped ginger rice.
At this time, a servant came in, whispered to the maid, and handed over a piece of paper, and the maid came to ask Han Fangyin for advice.
"Miss, there are people outside who want to enter the inner flower hall, but they can't cook, hand over this post, saying that you see, I will definitely let you in."
Han Fangyin slowly poured the ginger rice into the vinegar dish intently, and said casually: "Didn't you see me entertaining distinguished guests?" Let's wait. ”
The maid threw the post on the table next to her, and the little maid who passed the word naturally understood it, bowed her head and withdrew.
Wen Zhen at the gate quickly got a refusal, which made her frown.
No, as long as she is really interested in cooking, the post she just wrote shouldn't be discarded.
This road didn't work, and it should have been forgotten, but all her thoughts were on entering the mansion to see the old imperial chef at the moment, so she naturally refused to give up.
It's just that after a while, even the bazaar has been closed.
Yi Renli glanced at her, got up and walked out, and after a while, he carried a big bag, Wen Zhen opened it and saw that there was a pot, a small stove, a few ingredients, and some cold rice and eggs.
"It's easy to say, I borrowed a set of guys, that's all, but if you make a move, no one can compare to white porridge." Yi Renli licked his lips, "I still remember that you once scrambled egg fried rice, and the fragrance ...... that tut"
"That's enough." Wen Zhen began to light the fire, heat the pot, and asked casually, "The people in this place are stingy, where did you get such a complete set?" ”
"It's the mother-in-law who ate the wontons just now."
"How can people be willing? She doesn't want to do business anymore? ”
"Oh, I said I had a crush on her daughter. As soon as she was happy, she gave me the rest. ”
“…… How do you know she has a daughter and is not married? ”
"I saw it."
"What, isn't that stall just a mother-in-law and a little two."
"That's the little two."
“…… Wait, are you sure? That little two has a waist circumference of three feet, a height of eight feet, and seems to have a beard, are you sure you read that right? ”
"It's a waist circumference of three feet, eight feet tall, and thick hair like a beard, but people are indeed women."
"How do you see that?"
"Chest!"
"Uh...... That girl is so unattractive, you say you like it, and people believe it? ”
"Why don't you believe it? Don't you see that I keep smiling at her while eating? Otherwise, do you think that woman is willing to talk to you so much? ”
Wen Zhen was suddenly very worried about the women of the Changchuan Yi family.
A topic about Yi Renli's super induction of women has just been finished, and Wen Zhen's egg fried rice has been prepared.
The most intuitive result is that before the pot is cooked, all the people in the shed have dropped their jobs and come out.
This alley was originally owned by the Han family, clean, at this moment the mouth of the alley continued to be flooded in, and gradually blocked the intersection, the intersection was blocked, and there were more people who were curious to see the excitement, so it was even more blocked, the people inside were desperately twitching their noses, and the people outside were desperately tiptoeing, patting the shoulders of the people in front of them, "What's wrong?" This smells so fragrant! ”
The pot in Wen Zhen's hand is full of light and shadow, the golden fried rice is vigorous in the air like a sunflower, and the rich aroma of eggs and green onions in the collision of rice grains is more and more explosive, stimulating the cells of the taste buds at the end of the nose as if they are suddenly 10,000 times more active, and the eyes are a little brighter than the golden light of the fried rice.
Egg fried rice is an ordinary dish with a peculiar aroma, and it still has an unshakable position in the modern era when eight major cuisines and delicacies have been accumulated for thousands of years. The so-called ordinary party can see the real skill, which is to make a movie of the god of food, and the thick ink is also egg fried rice. Many big families in modern and contemporary times test chefs, and there is a legend that only two dishes are tested, egg fried rice and shredded pork with green peppers.
The egg fried rice is golden and the shredded green pepper meat is crisp, which seems simple, but in fact, it is the chef's control of the heat.
When the egg fried rice began to be plated, the door of the house opened again, and someone inside: "Our old gentleman, please let this girl in." ”
Wen Zhen smiled, loaded a plate of egg fried rice, and entered the mansion with the people, Geng Guang wanted to follow, but was stopped by someone and said, "Only the chef himself can enter." ”
Wen Zhen motioned for Geng Guang to step aside and entered the mansion with a smile.
As soon as her figure disappeared, the onlookers behind her cheered, and Ping Pong grabbed the egg fried rice.
Yi Renli looked at the egg fried rice, looked at Wen Zhen, and was entangled, when he saw Lin Feibai's figure flashing by the wall, knowing that he had personally followed him to protect him, he smiled, sat down and served himself a bowl of fried rice, and was about to start eating, he might as well suddenly stretch out a dirty little hand beside him, grab a handful of rice in his bowl, and turn around and run away.
Yi Ren was stunned, at this time everyone was grabbing food, there were many people, he knew that there were several children and little beggars crowded around him, and he didn't care, after all, these children couldn't do anything to him, who knew that this little beggar was flexible and cunning, not grabbing the rice bowl but grabbing rice, and giving him a hand.
Yi Renli looked down at the rice bowl, most of the rice in it was missing, and there was a lot of mud, and he couldn't help laughing angrily, "Damn, it's time to play the trick of the master!" ”
got up and threw the bowl away and went to chase, there were also Lin Feibai's guards beside him, as well as Geng Guang and others, everyone saw that he even had to care about a little beggar, they all shook their heads, and did not follow, just guarded at this door, waiting for the master and Miss Wen to come out.
Over there, Wen Zhen followed into the house, and the little maid who greeted her took her around the garden, turning around, and arrived at a secluded courtyard, the courtyard door was open, and the servants in it were constantly coming and going, all holding various dishes in their hands. There was an old man sitting in front of the court, his eyes half-closed, and the vegetables were constantly being sent, so he sniffed lightly, sometimes frowning and waving, sometimes nodding slightly, and sometimes opening his eyes to take a look.
frowning and waving their hands, the maids directly took it out and poured a large vat outside the door; Those who nodded slightly, then took them out and went in the other direction, and those who opened their eyes to look at them stayed by the old man's side.
There is also a table next to the old man, and there are a few plates of dim sum dishes on it, which look very exquisite, but in comparison, Wen Zhen's egg fried rice in the middle seems a little too simple.
Wen Zhen asked the two maids to wait outside the courtyard, and when he entered the courtyard, he didn't make a sound to disturb, but stood aside, and closed his eyes slightly, smelling the aroma of various dishes wafting in front of him.
The old man ignored her, but when he saw her behaving like this, he was interested, and opened his eyes slightly to look at her.
Immediately he nodded slightly at the dish in front of him, and the maid took the dish and walked in the direction of the courtyard gate, and when she passed by Wen Zhen, Wen Zhen, who had closed her eyes slightly, suddenly opened her eyes, frowned, and glanced at the old man in surprise.
It was meeting the old man's scrutinizing gaze.
The two looked at each other, the old man's eyes flashed, and he said, "This girl seems to have something to say?" ”
