Li Yi returned to the room from the old lady, and felt more and more uncomfortable after sweating.

A lot of things are like that: you just feel a little uncomfortable at first, and when you focus your mind there, it becomes more and more uncomfortable, and finally it makes you unbearable.

She misses the convenience of modern bathing, the variety of food, and the abundance of entertainment. In contrast, life in ancient times was really inconvenient, and she had to be careful everywhere, she was fed up with this kind of worrying and living with a mask all day long.

It would be nice to be able to go back to modern times. In modern times hot there is air conditioning, not sweating at all; There is a range hood for cooking, where it will be stained with oil smoke; If you want to take a shower, you can spend 20 minutes, why think about whether it will increase the workload of others!

It's useless here, and I'm going to ...... if I stay any longer.

Stop!

Li Yi took a deep breath.

Since you are here, you can't find a way to go back for the time being, so focus on what is in front of you, try your best to do it well, and complain that it won't solve anything.

Li Yi, who calmed down, calmed herself.

Why was you so irritable just now? Because the excitement brought to her by the crossing is fading, and with it comes confusion and fear of the future.

Here she has no "kind", no one who really understands her. Let me ask, how can I tell the ancients, I don't want to get married, and it's good to live alone? This kind of behavior is very stressful in modern times.

But even if it's stressful, when you say it, there are still people who will understand and will stand on your side. What about in ancient times? It is estimated that he will be locked up and not allowed to go out until the day of marriage.

Everyone in this world has to wear a mask, and such loneliness also makes her very depressed.

Li Yi smiled bitterly, she has only been here for three days, and no one can adapt to a new society so quickly. It's normal to have your own worries and fears.

You can't let yourself be immersed in such emotions – find something to do.

Li Yi came to the old lady's kitchen.

It's unexpectedly lively. There is not only Chef Liu, but Chef Chen also has a person she doesn't know. The three of them were chatting enthusiastically, and she hesitated for a moment whether she should go over and disturb them.

Chef Liu had already found her standing in the distance. Bow your head to her. The other two looked in the direction of Chef Liu's luggage, also found her, and hurriedly saluted.

Well, don't hesitate!

She quickened her pace and approached them to their feet. The person he didn't know took the initiative to speak: "The slave family is the daughter-in-law of Cook Lu in the big kitchen." The one in our family heard that the young lady made a new dish today, so he quickly asked me to come over and ask Chef Liu for advice. ”

She took the initiative to speak, which made Li Yi secretly breathe: "It turned out to be Aunt Lu, cooking skills are to communicate more in order to improve." ”

Aunt Lu got Chen Xiaoyun's words and happily agreed. This is not to blame yourself for stealing the teacher!

"Miss is here at this time, do you have any orders?" Chef Liu is now wishing that Chen Xiaoyun had been staying in the kitchen. But if you think about it, you know that it's impossible: people are big misses! Cooking is just fun, and one day the freshness is over, and it won't come back at all. can only coax her when her interest is still undiminished, and let her come a few more times.

"I want to make something to eat."

Seeing that the three of them were overjoyed by her words. Li Yi has a feeling of "she is still quite popular here". The mood has improved a lot.

"Xiaohong, let your sister Xiaocui go to the big kitchen to get a piece of meat." It's faster to find Aunt Lu in this matter, but she is not her own person, and Li Yi doesn't want to do much.

She is still the thinking of modern people, and in ancient times identity is the most important thing. Chen Xiaoyun is the master of the mansion, and Aunt Lu is a subordinate of the Chen mansion, how can there be a reason why she can't be called?

Aunt Lu hurriedly spoke: "I can't help it, Miss needs to use meat, just arrange for me to go directly!" Don't bother your handmaid. After saying that, he raised his feet and left. For fear that Chen Xiaoyun would stop her if she slowed down.

Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Li Yi asked Xiaohong to chase after her and give the money.

Chef Liu brought a stool for her and asked her to sit first. The three of them began another round of silence.

Embarrassment makes people smart, Li Yi had a flash of inspiration, and asked about the rather smooth burnt noodles she ate on the first day.

She had seen it in the recipe, and the recipe was very simple, stir-fry the flour until it was burnt and let it cool. When you want to eat, add boiling water and sugar and stir well.

When the two talked about adding sugar, Li Yi asked, "But it's not easy to stir when you add starch sugar, right?" ”

Hearing Li Yi's question, he smiled: "Miss, you can put sugar." ”

"Sugar?" There is sugar in this world?

Li Yi was a little surprised, in fact, in the Han Dynasty, there were already people who knew how to extract sugar from sugar cane. The Tang Dynasty introduced a new process from India, which could process sucrose into the shape of sand grains, so it was called "sand sugar", and because the color was white like frost, it was also called "frost sugar".

However, the sugar of this era still lacked a fading process, and the color was still brown.

"yes, it's a grain of sugar like sand. The large kitchen is always available. We use less sugar here, only caramel. So Miss hasn't seen it. ”

It would be great if you had granulated sugar.

Li Yi is a southerner, and she is used to using sugar to make her dishes fresh. She can't add sugar when she comes here, which makes her very awkward.

When everyone saw Aunt Lu coming in with a piece of meat, they all stood up and prepared to help.

I told them how to do it: cut the meat into finger-thick strips, add soy sauce and cooking wine to marinate a cup of tea (she estimated that it would take about 15 minutes to touch a cup of tea). Prepare a bowl of noodles, crack in an egg and mix with water to form a batter. The batter should not be too thin, and the chopsticks should be able to hang the batter. After marinating, wrap the batter and fry the meat strips in a pan until the meat strips float on the oil surface.

In fact, the batter should be made with starch, and in this era, there is no starch, so it can only be replaced by flour. Fortunately, starch is not difficult to extract, so look for an opportunity to make a little bit out these days.

The three of them started the production in an orderly manner, and Li Yi was responsible for guiding them on the side, and the finished product was also decent.

Everyone tasted the finished product: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of meaty flavor. All three were glad that they had learned another way to cook a dish. Li Yi is satisfied that she doesn't have to do it herself, and she will get a lot less fumes.

She brought this plate of Sichuan famous dishes made by others: "Little Crispy Pork" to her second brother.

Chen Xiaodong was overjoyed when he saw that his sister had sent delicious food again. In the past two days, I have eaten the food made by my sister, and I am more and more dissatisfied with my father's food. It's a pity that my sister only does a little bit at a time, and he can't eat enough at all.

It was almost noon and the sun was high. The brother and sister found a shady place in the garden to sit and eat and chat. Of course, it is mainly Chen Xiaodong who eats, Li Yi said.

"Second brother, do you need some tea?" Seeing that he had eaten nearly half of the plate, Li Yi couldn't help but ask. Although the small crispy meat is delicious, after all, it is a fried food, and it is still very greasy to eat too much.

Chen Xiaodong heard Li Yi's reminder, so he picked up the tea in his hand and drank it all.

Li Yi noticed that the tea made by his little servant was already clear tea. I don't know if it's Lin Tiankuo's charm or the high influence of tea. The two elder brothers in the house are used to drinking tea.

She tasted it and decisively asked her second brother for tea.

Chen Xiaodong did not refuse: "Haha, I am also familiar with Brother Zhao now." Ordering tea is naturally not a problem. ”

Is being a prince so idle? It's only been three or four days, and I'm familiar with the second brother.

"Little sister, can you write a copy of the recipe for your cooking and bring it out to me?"

Li Yi wanted to agree, but she couldn't write!
