Chapter 92
In order to please this Master Li before, those cooks made a lot of meat dishes.
However, due to the fact that fish meat is a commonplace meat food, coupled with the fact that there are many fine spines, the white carp was temporarily spared.
When Zhaoyun went to rest, he happened to see the white carp that was kept in a wooden barrel and was still swimming happily. Now, she's reaching out to it.
First, the white carp that was no more than half a catty was handed over to Zhao Niangzi for disposal, and when the thin fish scales were scraped clean, the snow-white tender meat inside leaked out. After slaughtering and cleaning up, Zhaoyun put it in a pot and boiled the soup.
When the pot was boiling, Lin Yin on the side, under the guidance of Zhaoyun, had already tied the pork ribs with a straw cross and put them in a pot of boiling water to blanch. Skim off the tumbling foam and remove it and take a shower in cold water.
Zhaoyun first used a bamboo grate to pad the bottom, to spread the green onions, put in the chopped ginger pieces, and neatly arrange the pork skin side down. Then spread the sauce, sugar and Shao wine, and finally add the verdant green onion knots.
Then put the bamboo grate into the casserole, then wrap the edge of the casserole with peach blossom paper, put it on a hot fire to boil, and then simmer slowly after boiling.
Several women had already stopped chatting, and gathered around the barbecue, watching the three of them go about their work.
At that time, after the fish was put into the pot, Zhaoyun mixed the sweet and sour sauce with red peppers, and slowly poured it all over the fish.
Everyone saw the red and bright sauce, like a white and tender fish meat, wrapped in a gorgeous dress with agate color. In an instant, the entire kitchen was filled with sweet and sour aromas.
"This is made of white carp?" Qian Niangzi stared with shining eyes.
The rest of the people also looked at the dish with some curiosity.
Zhaoyun just smiled and nodded.
"I only found out today that the white carp still has this practice!" Mrs. Zhao, who helped the cook, looked at the steaming dishes with excitement.
It didn't take long for Zhaoyun to open the lid of the pot where the meat was boiling, and the meat in the pot was already cooked for seven or eight minutes.
She then put it on the bamboo grate, the red and white tender meat was sandwiched out, the skin was up, and put it into a clay bowl, and then put it in a steamer for half an hour.
After steaming, Zhaoyun poured the carefully mixed soup on it. Since both dishes are meat dishes, she also specially prepared a bowl of mung bean soup to reconcile them.
In Wang Shoudao's third urging, Zhaoyun and Zhao Niangzi, each carrying a lacquer plate, went to the main cabin where Master Li was. Only a few women were left suspicious in the cabin.
"Do you think that Master Li will like it?"
"I feel hanging!"
"It looks good, but I don't know what it tastes like?"
"It looks good, but it doesn't necessarily taste good!" Cao Niangzi pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "The two dishes look black, red, black and red, and the taste is definitely not good!" ”
In the main cabin, Li Junzheng lazily leaned on the bamboo chair and pretended to sleep. Suddenly, I heard someone from below report that the newly made dishes were being served, so I hurriedly tidied up my clothes and sat down decently.
"Lord Qiyu, Lord Li, these are three bowls of newly made dishes, please taste them!" Wang Shoudao smiled and bent down respectfully.
"I'm going to try it and see if this new one is still as bad as the one before?" Swinging his sleeves casually, Li Jun looked absentmindedly behind Wang Shoudao.
Only then did the three of Zhaoyun present the lacquer plate in their hands. He casually lifted the lid of the first of them upside down, and when he saw it, his eyes were glued to the bowl.
He was determined to eat all the Yunqi food, but he had never seen fish with such luster. The fish he eats on weekdays is nothing more than a bland color, but in front of him, it seems to be wrapped in a smooth and oily but crystal clear coat.
Hurriedly picked up the silver chopsticks on the side, and couldn't wait to reach for the bowl of fish. After just one bite, the tender and delicious aroma of the fish lingers between the lips and teeth.
He's never eaten it before, and there's no other dish that blends all kinds of flavors so well! The first taste is salty and spicy, but you can taste it again, but with a hint of sweet and sour!
So, he couldn't wait to uncover the second and third inverted round covers, and his eyes brightened a little more.
I saw that in the clay pottery bowl carved with broken flowers, the half-fat and half-thin pieces were neatly placed in the middle, and each one was crystal clear and translucent, and the color was like agate.
When you put down the chopsticks, you will know that its skin is thin and tender, crispy and not broken. After taking a bite, I realized that it was fragrant and glutinous but not greasy.
"Returning to the prince of Xiwu, I have delivered the princess's body safely according to your instructions." Song Qi hugged his fists in return.
Mu Xici, who was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, didn't even give him a look. I only listened to the sound of suona in the distance, and raised my hand to drink the last sip of liquor left in the white jade cup.
"Master, you can't drink anymore!" He Xun, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, his face full of worry.
"Leave me alone!" Mu Xici threw the white jade cup in his hand that he had drunk heavily at Song Qi's feet.
The jade piece flew apart, instantly scratching the back of Song Qi's hand. The dripping blood dripped down the back of his hand and fell to the ground in an instant.
"Since the prince of Xiwu has no other orders, then he will retire in the next place!"
Mu Xici still ignored his words, just picked up the green jade wine jug on the table, and silently filled it for himself.
"Master, you've drunk so many cups, you really can't drink anymore!" Seeing Song Qi leaving, He Xun wanted to step forward and grab the wine glass.
"Let me drink!" Mu Xici picked up an upside-down porcelain cup, poured it full of wine by himself, and handed it to He Xun, "You can also drink with me!" ”
Seeing that the wine glass had been stuffed into his hand, He Xun poured the wine into his stomach. Just as he was about to raise his sleeves to wipe the wine stains on his lips, he heard Mu Xici's voice faintly.
"Do you believe that people have a past and a present life?"
Surprised, He Xun saw his master put down the white jade cup in his hand and looked at him with a confused look.
Seeing this look, his heart was suddenly shocked.
Because although Mu Xici was looking at him, he was not looking at him, as if he was looking at the endless void.
There is a bit of sadness, and there is also a bit of mockery.
"It looks like you don't believe it!" Mu Xi sneered, "You don't believe it, I believe it!" ”
After speaking, he directly picked up another wine jug on the table, and directly aimed the slender spout at the angular lips.
The wine is clear and slowly pours into the stomach. is like a thousand words, falling into sorrow, but adding to the melancholy.
Seeing this, He Xun had no choice but to sigh.
The master was never an alcoholic, but today he ...... It's good to forget everything for a while.
The moment he stepped out of the room, he seemed to hear the drunken man in the room say something.
"Does it matter if you believe it or not?" Mu Xi laughed at himself and chuckled, "It's not important, it's not important!" ”
In the drunken eyes, two lines of tears slowly slipped down and dripped into the wine glass, causing a trace of ripples.
For a moment, he didn't know if the liquor in the cup was spicy, or was it more bitter in his heart?
