Chapter 349: Don't Come Unharmed
Cheng Gongzi is polite, no merit is not punished, how dare I accept such a valuable thing as Cheng Gongzi? Song Leshan politely refused.
"This is just the tea I am used to drinking on weekdays, and it is not a very valuable thing, even if the shopkeeper Song drinks it deliciously, I should give you some."
As Cheng Yunhao spoke, the carriage stopped, the coachman put down his feet, and the guest house arrived. ”
"Shopkeeper Song, please." Cheng Yunhao got out of the carriage first, picked a curtain for Song Leshan and Xie Yinan, and waited for the two of them to get off the carriage before leading the two of them to the Huibin Building.
A guy had already greeted them and led them straight up to the second floor, which was relatively quiet, but by the window with a wide view.
"I asked the guy to prepare mung bean pancakes, crystal shrimp dumplings and West Lake vinegar fish, I don't know what Shopkeeper Song and Mrs. Song like to eat, so please order it."
Cheng Yunhao asked people to bring up the list and let Song Leshan and Xie Yinan choose.
"Since Cheng Gongzi invited guests to dinner, then Cheng Gongzi just ordered food, and I don't have anything to taboo with my insiders." Song Leshan said with a smile and raised his hand to block the man's action of handing over the list.
He wanted to see what Cheng Yunhao would do later.
"Since the shopkeeper of Song is like this, then I will also do this transgression." Cheng Yunhao said: "In the past two days, Huibin Lou tried to make a roast lamb shank, and it tasted good, so I came to this one, and then a flower blossom wealth, plus pearl jade soup, how about stone cakes for the staple food?" ”
"This stone cake is freshly baked, the taste is crispy and not greasy, and because this cake is very dry, not easy to deteriorate, very easy to carry, used to be prepared by people in a hurry, but this stone cake almost retains the unique fragrance and taste of flour, if you sit down quietly and eat it, you will have a different flavor."
Roasted mutton is a dish that Song Leshan loved very much when he guarded the frontier in the past.
In the border land, there is a shortage of pork, and the residents mostly live by grazing, but there are a lot of mutton, and the meat is tender and firm, and there is no fishy smell of the mutton raised in captivity in the mainland.
It can be regarded as a small enjoyment of Song Leshan when he was busy in the border land where materials were relatively scarce.
And the stone cake, the Central Plains region does this, and there are not many people who eat this person, but the stone cake is very popular in the frontier, and when the army is marching and fighting, it is very easy to carry, and it is not easy to deteriorate, and it has become a commonly used marching food.
Roast mutton and stone cakes are all things that Song Leshan often ate in his previous life.
If Cheng Yunhao's move has no side meaning, Song Leshan doesn't believe it.
"Cheng Gongzi will be fine." Song Leshan nodded slightly.
"The food will come up later, Shopkeeper Song and Mrs. Song should like it." Cheng Yunhao raised his hand and told the guy to go.
After a while, the dishes were delivered one by one.
"Please." Cheng Yunhao raised his hand, and when Song Leshan and Xie Yinan took the chopsticks and got up, he picked up the chopsticks.
"Please." Song Leshan paused slightly, and took a piece of mutton with chopsticks to taste.
Roast mutton, it should be a leg of mutton, after the whole leg of lamb is roasted, cut into suitable slices, spread on the plate, the aroma is tangy, the color and fragrance alone, it is enough to make people salivate, but I don't know the taste......
After Song Leshan chewed the mutton in his mouth, his expression darkened.
This roast leg of lamb is indeed delicious.
And it is the practice of roasting lamb leg with cloves, the best leg of lamb is washed, the bamboo skewer is pierced, salt, pepper, green onion and ginger are marinated, and then the cloves are embedded in the holes that were pierced before, and they are slowly roasted, and the sesame oil is brushed during the period, and the skin can be roasted and crispy, and the inside is fresh and tender.
In the past, when Song Leshan was in the frontier, he liked this roast leg of mutton very much, but at the same time, he also added some improvements, that is, when marinating the leg of mutton, he added some sorghum wine to it.
Sorghum wine is mellow and strong, with a long aftertaste, compared with the craft wine of the Central Plains and even the south of the Yangtze River, it has a lot of rough meaning, and you will feel hearty when you drink it.
The roast leg of lamb, which was originally a rough way to eat, was added with this strong sorghum wine, and the aroma of the meat and wine blended together, so that the aroma of the leg of lamb was almost exuded to the fullest.
This practice of adding wine to it is almost Song Leshan's originality, and it is still sorghum wine added to it, which is only known to Song Leshan and even some people around him.
At present, this leg of mutton meat is obviously also added with wine when it is marinated, and it is sorghum wine preferred by Song Leshan.
If Cheng Yunhao invited him to dinner this time, it was to test whether he was a reborn person, and what does this specially prepared roast leg of lamb mean.
In the previous life, when Song Leshan made contributions at the border, the Cheng family was undergoing multiple changes, and he had no intersection with the Cheng family.
And how do you know that this is done with sorghum wine?
Song Leshan's brows couldn't help but twist up, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and stared at Cheng Yunhao.
"Shopkeeper Song looked at me like this, didn't you, what did you remember?" Cheng Yunhao looked quite indifferent, and broke a piece of the stone cake into the entrance.
seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to say to Song Leshan: "This stone cake, if it is sprinkled with some salt and pepper when baking, the taste will be better, if it is eaten as dry food, it will not be tasteless, and it will not be because of the lack of salt when marching, the whole person has no strength." ”
Song Leshan's brows were almost getting deeper and deeper.
What Cheng Yunhao said, Song Leshan said before.
Because the stone cake is very good as dry food when marching, but it is tasteless, and if you eat too much, you will feel very tired, and you will have no appetite, and if you have no appetite, it is naturally easy to lose strength.
In order to prevent this from happening, Song Leshan asked the people in the army to put some salt and pepper in it when making stone cakes, so that with the slight hemp of pepper and the salty taste of salt, it can make people have a better appetite, and they will not be tired because of the lack of salt during the march.
But when explaining this kind of thing, in order to prevent the enemy from following suit, Song Leshan did not publicize it with great fanfare, but just ordered the deputy generals around him to do it.
But right now, Cheng Yunhao said almost word for word what he said before......
"Cheng Gongzi." Song Leshan's voice was low: "You are the eldest son of the Cheng family, pampered and pampered, how do you know about the affairs of the Guan army here?" ”
Cheng Yunhao was obviously relieved when he heard Song Leshan's inquiry.
The chopsticks, which had been in the air for a long time, were put back and placed in front of them.
"General Song, don't come unharmed." Cheng Yunhao stood up and bowed to Song Leshan.
