The two of them entered the Gui Mansion from the door of the West Courtyard together, and happened to meet the second young master, and saluted together, Du Xiaozhu still respected Gui Zhongqing as before, but the balance in his heart was obviously tilted to Diancui's side. According to his ingenuity, of course, he can see something that is not in the pool. It's a pity that Gui Zhongqing, who wants to hone him, doesn't know anything about all this, doesn't even look at him, and just pulls up/dots Cui and leaves.

"When you were in the kitchen of the West Courtyard, you had the most ghost ideas, go and make some new tricks for Madame, Madame has been ...... recently Ay! ”

He didn't say anything about Diancui, but he also knew that Mrs. had been thinking about tea and dinner for several days for the sake of returning to Chuyu, and as soon as Diancui remembered that these were actually related to her secretly, he felt guilty and unbearable, and immediately said: "Second young master, don't worry, I will definitely make a meal that Mrs. loves to eat." ”

"Okay, as long as you can let Madame eat more, I owe you a favor, and you can mention whatever you want." Gui Zhongqing said busily.

Diancui didn't say anything, and didn't ask Mrs. what she wanted to eat, so she hurriedly went to Aunt Xing. Just because she remembered in her heart that her wife liked a kind of dim sum in her previous life, called "Ghee Bubble Snail", which was from the Western Regions at that time, it was very rare and valuable at the beginning, and was liked by the ladies and ladies of major families. Later, Fangzi spread in the Central Plains, and she specially begged the owner of the dim sum shop to teach her in order to please An Peiqing.

However, the rise of this "ghee snail" will take half a year later, and Diancui did it early at this time, which can be regarded as taking the lead.

Diancui didn't avoid Aunt Xing, took a bucket of milk that day, and the two of them moved it and poured it into a sleeve jar, put it under the shady back eaves, and waited for half a day.

During this period, Diancui was not idle, picked up the net, and went to the gatehouse of the west courtyard to find Du Xiaozhu.

Du Xiaozhu happened to be on duty, as soon as he heard that he was going to hunt birds, the other two little guys also came to the spirit and went together.

If you want to say that the best place to catch sparrows, there is no one more than the field where the young masters in the west courtyard are juju, when the second young master planted a layer of dense grass in the field, and it is the time to bear seeds, and the tender seeds are attracting the group of greedy sparrows.

"Isn't Miss Diancui going to eat fried sparrows? Fried sparrows, sprinkled with chili pepper noodles, put it in your mouth, then it is called a crispy salty and fragrant yo! A little guy drooled as he spoke.

"You're a eater! When I mention eating and talking, my head hurts, and I am careful that the finches will scare you away! The other squirm sneered at his companion.

Dian Cui said with a smile while spreading a net on the field: "The way to eat this finch is not just a way to fry it, but if a few big brothers love to eat this fried finch and catch more of it when the time comes, I will beg Aunt Xing to fry a few for everyone to satisfy their hunger." ”

"Okay, good, Miss Diancui has always been a generous and friendly person, and the next time you catch sparrows, you will ask us to come together." Although the little guy laughed at his companion loudly, he was also hungry when he mentioned the deliciousness of the fried finches.

Du Xiaozhu on the side didn't say much, only sprinkled a few bean seeds under the net. His family was poor, and he took his younger brothers and sisters out to catch birds to eat since he was a child, and the oil was too expensive to buy, so he put it under the firewood and burned it to eat, and it tasted good.

Diancui set up the net, and then stopped careging, leaving Du Xiaozhu and the others motionless and waiting for the sparrow to be caught.

Sure enough, within two pillars of incense, they were asked to catch a dozen sparrows.

"Enough is enough," said Dian Cuixi, smiling as she opened the cloth bag and stuffed the sparrows into it, before the others left the juju field.

"What are you doing?" At this time, I happened to run into the second young master Yuan Zhiheng and a few of them.

"Second young master......" Several little guys looked at the second young master with a little weakness, and looked at Dian Cui, but no one spoke.

Diancui stepped forward generously and said, "Diancui to meet the second young master, I invited a few of them to help catch birds." ”

"Catch a bird?" The second young master frowned and said, "But you want to make new food for your wife?" The meat of the finch is delicious, but it is too greasy to fry it, and I am afraid that my mother will not be able to eat it. ”

"Second Young Master, just rest assured, this time it's not fried in oil, but to make yellow finches." Diancui explained.

"Yellow finches? But this is the first time I have heard it. "Bream is commonly used by Jiangnan people to cook, but it is very rare in the north, but where would Gui Zhongqing think that this kind of yellow bream would become a very popular side dish on the table of the Beijing clan in the near future.

"If it's a bream, then it won't be greasy, and with the porridge, Madame should like it." Yuan Zhiheng on the side is a person from Hangzhou Mansion, and he is familiar with what this fish is.

The second young master has been anxious because of his mother's reluctance to think about tea and dinner these days, and when he heard the words, he urged Diancui to do it quickly.

Dian Cui said goodbye to the second young master, and when she met Yuan Zhiheng's eyes, a slight smile appeared in Dian Cui's eyes, and her eyes were even brighter and more crystalline, and she didn't say anything more and was about to leave with the cloth bag.

Yuan Zhiheng looked at her back a little distracted, the smile in her eyes was probably only understood by herself, the ugly incident that returned to Chu Yu a few days ago was also fueled by him, since this incident, the two of them have officially fought side by side for the identity of Diancui.

In addition, Yuan Zhiheng knew that Dian Cui could make some food for the Wu family with her own hands, how happy and cherished in her heart.

All the finches were cleaned of their feathers, each one was washed with well water, and after drying, nine more were picked out that were neither fat nor thin, and washed with wine, and then wiped dry with a muslin cloth to ensure that there was no trace of moisture. Then Diancui took the wheat yellow, red yeast rice, salt, pepper, and shredded green onion into a large bowl of sauce. Put the yellow finch into a clean plaque altar, spread three layers up and down, three in each layer, smear a thick layer of juice between each two layers, and finally firmly fix it with a long bamboo skewer and cover the lid. Then take a larger pottery jar, put sorghum wine in it, and dip the whole plaque jar into it.

After doing this, it took half a day's work, Diancui cleaned his hands, and went to the back eaves to find the vat containing the milk. Aunt Xing happened to finish the work in hand at this time, and came over to move the tank into the kitchen with her.

The milk was poured into the milk pot and began to cook, and the fat maid in the kitchen was now following Aunt Xing, spontaneously helping to watch the stove.

When the milk in the milk pot was boiled into cheese, Diancui began to stir vigorously until the oil in the milk was separated, and the cream was carefully scooped into the copper basin. After the cream and honey cane sugar paste have condensed together, Diancui squeezes it onto the plate, and while squeezing, it rotates the rou, rou into a circle at the bottom, and a sharp head on the top, round and round, like a snail, but white as jade, and it is lovely.

After making more than a dozen white butter snails, Diancui took fresh rose juice and brought it into the copper basin, stirring carefully, waiting for the half pot of white jade-like cream honey cane sugar to turn into a light pink, Diancui began to rou again, making more than a dozen pink "snails".

Diancui sandwiched a few extra ones and put them in Aunt Xing's mouth.

It melts in the mouth, extremely crispy/soft and sweet, Aunt Xing's eyes can't help but light up, the fat girl's saliva is rising, Aunt Xing laughed and scolded Don't be greedy, you and I can see this method when you order Sister Cui to do it, next time you do it, you can eat it, but don't reveal it!

The fat maid hurriedly nodded seriously, although she was not as clever as Diancui, she also knew the importance of this recipe.

The white and pink butter snails were served on a glass plate with a folded branch pattern, and a few appetizing mint plums were brought to Wu's bedside.

"Ma'am, get up and use some." Grandma Lu called.

"No, take it down." Wu Shi leaned on the couch with his back on his back.

For many years, Wu has always been strong, because she knows that she can't fall, and there are many things in the workshop, shop, and family waiting to be done by herself. In the past, she also intended to cultivate Gui Chu Yu in the hope that she could help her, and invited so many masters, but Gui Chu Yu didn't know whether it was because her mind was not on it or her talent was limited, and it had been difficult to become a climate, and now there was such a scandal.

Wu's heart was depressed for a while, and his body was not very good for a while, so he fell ill all of a sudden, although the doctor saw a lot and took a lot of decoction, but it has not been very effective.

The doctor said that she had a heart disease, which was difficult to treat in ordinary pharmacies.

"Madam, this is the fresh food that the second young master specially ordered people to make, you can eat some of it, and it will also fulfill his filial piety." Grandma Lu persuaded that Mrs. Lu had fallen ill these days, and the most anxious and sad one was the second young master.

"It's okay......" Wu sighed and struggled to start.

"What is this?" Wu Shi pointed to the delicate and cute snail-like dim sum, and couldn't help asking.

When Grandma Lu saw her ask, she immediately had the spirit to speak: "The name of this dim sum is ghee soaked snails, which is made of milk oil and honey and sucrose...... It was made by the little maid who worked under Aunt Xing before. ”

"Diancui?" Wu Shi has some impressions of Diancui.

Grandma Lu nodded and said, "The maid said that you can use this butter snail slightly, as an intermittent meal, it is best to eat it with a bowl of tea." Later, make some fresher food for dinner. ”

"Oh? And fresher food? Wu couldn't help but smile and shook his head, this little girl has always had a lot of ideas. As he spoke, he picked up a butter snail with the appearance of white jade and put it in his mouth, but before he could chew it, it melted in his mouth, and his mouth was full of a strange fragrance, and there was a hint of sweetness in the fragrance of acacia nectar and sucrose.

Wu couldn't help but sandwich another pink one, this time in addition to the milky fragrance and honey sweetness, there was a hint of rose sweetness and silky fragrance.

"Hurry up and pour a bowl of tea!" When Grandma Lu saw that Wu had eaten two in a row, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the maids below to pour tea.

Wu Shi took the tea, ate two more in a row, took a sip of tea, and said to Grandma Lu: "It's a new thing, and the taste is not bad, Grandma can taste it." ”

Grandma Lu cried with joy and said, "The old slave doesn't eat, Madame should eat some more." Saying that, she turned her back to wipe her tears, and Madame still didn't want to eat for a few days for the sake of the eldest lady, and this was the first time she had eaten so much.

Seeing her like this, Wu sighed: "Grandma has been worried about the past few days. ”

Grandma Lu shook her head, she watched her wife grow up from a child, and her wife's temperament has always been strong, even when she was a daughter, she didn't look so depressed and uncomfortable. Now that she is willing to eat, how can Grandma Lu not like it in her heart.

When it was about to get dark, Grandma Lu went to the kitchen of the West Courtyard in person, and now the food made by Diancui has been favored by Mrs. Aocui, she came in a hurry to bring dinner to Mrs., and she is also curious about the fresher meals that Diancui said.
