Chapter 14 Tomato Hot Pot
In the kitchen, Uncle Hua was chopping the meat stuffing with both hands, and a few days ago, Ruan Mianmian told him that he wanted to eat sauerkraut and meat buns, and sure enough, he was ready.
"Uncle Hua, Uncle Hua! What are you doing?" Ruan Mianmian jumped in like a fawn, and before she could stand firmly, she heard her crisp voice.
"What's wrong? I didn't know how to rest after eating and broadcasting, and I was running so fast. Uncle Hua didn't stop working in his hands, and turned his head to ask.
Ruan Mianmian's movements were too big, and even the pomegranate hairpin on her head was a little crooked, she hurriedly straightened her hair so that her hair would not fall apart, and then said: "A guest asked if she could make a hot pot sweet, he likes to eat sweet, and he also took out a silver ingot." ”
"This... The hot pot was originally made by Ruqing, and I just followed his method to draw a scoop according to the gourd, and I don't know if it can be made sweet. But since you have this idea, it's not impossible to give it a try. "Uncle Hua is now a lot more comfortable trying these novelties.
"Then can we add sugar to the mushroom soup pot? White sugar is sweet. ”
"White sugar is too sweet and doesn't taste good, so it's better not to add it." Uncle Hua denied Ruan Mianmian's idea.
"So what's so sweet? There's always a way. Ruan Mianmian looked around the kitchen, looking back and forth at the ingredients and seasonings.
"How's the carrot? Carrots are sweet. ”
"The taste is too light, I'm afraid it doesn't taste."
"Huh? This, the tomatoes, are sweet and sour, and the tomato soup is also delicious, this one will definitely work! Ruan Mianmian saw the tomatoes in the basket next to the wall, grabbed one with one hand and handed it to Uncle Hua.
Uncle Hua's eyes lit up, and he took the tomatoes: "Maybe you can really try it, sleep, take a packet of mushroom soup base, let's try it." ”
Ruan Mian Fei also found the bottom material and put it on the board, watching Uncle Hua busy. He first scalded off the skin of the tomatoes with hot water, then chopped the tomatoes into dices, put them in a pot and added water to cook a red tomato soup, and then took half of the ingredients of the mushroom soup and put it into the pot, added water, and after boiling for a while, it smelled fresh and fragrant, and it did not lose the mushroom soup hot pot at all.
Uncle Hua sprinkled some salt and condiments, then scooped a little with a big spoon and put it in a small bowl to taste it himself, and then handed it to Ruan Mianmian: "Well, it's really sweet and sour, and it has the fresh fragrance of mushroom soup, let's give it to the guests to try." ”
Ruan Mianmian couldn't wait to put the boiled soup base in the hot pot, put cotton cloth on it and brought it to the private room on the second floor.
At this time, a lot of time has passed, Lu Gui didn't seem to be impatient, and when Ruan Mianmian came in, he only saw that he was holding a chopstick in his hand and gesturing something on the table, and the big round table was already full of all kinds of ingredients.
Ruan Mianmian put the hot pot in the groove in the middle of the table, which was modified by the square cannon in order to facilitate heating after the hot pot became hot. The groove is dug out of the original table, and the bottom is directly facing an iron barrel, and when you use it, you can add charcoal to keep the hot pot warm for a long time, and will not let the smoke and dust drift onto the table, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After the hot pot was put away, Ruan Mianmian said sweetly: "The guests have been waiting for a long time, we have made a sweet tomato pot, please taste it." ”
Lu Gui raised his head when he heard the voice, put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled at her: "Look, is it good?" ”
Ruan Mianmian noticed the painting he had drawn on the table, and when he looked over, it was still a mess of thick lines, and he could barely see that it was a little girl with a double bun, and she didn't even know her facial features.
"Beautiful! Pretty! The pictures are so beautiful! Although this guest's painting skills are really not flattering, Ruan Mianmian has heard Mu Ruqing talk about brainless Dafa, and she is also very skilled in talking to the guest, her face is not red and her heart is not beating.
Hearing Ruan Mianmian say this, the smile on Lu Gui's face seemed to be magnified a hundred times, and he couldn't even close his mouth with a smile: "Little sister has vision!" You're still the first to praise me for my good painting, my dad hasn't praised me like this, by the way, my name is Lu Gui, and my sister can call me Xiao Guigui. With that, the cheap man raised his eyebrows.
Ruan Mianmian slandered in her heart: Little return? A turtle that is not a turtle? But he didn't show it on his face, but smiled: "Brother Lu, use it slowly, if there are any shortcomings, we will improve." ”
That Lu Gui raised his hand and motioned her not to go: "Sister, I have a fate with you, you can also sit down and eat together, I am also lonely." ”
"How good is this, how can there be a reason for the guests to order me to eat, our boss will be blamed when he comes back and sees it." Ruan Mianmian hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, and the hairpin on his head shook and trembled.
"It's okay, your boss smells like me, sit down and eat, I can't eat so much myself, right?"
Lu Guixu pressed Ruan Mianmian's shoulder and let her sit on the side, and he also followed Ruan Mianmian's example and soaked all kinds of meat slices and vegetables into the soup pot. The soup glowed with a bright orange glow, bubbling with full bubbles, and the meat slices were stained with the soup as soon as they were put in.
Lu Gui didn't care much about Sven, so he immediately put a piece into his mouth, and called three "hot" words in a row, but he was still busy taking some out of the pot: "It's this taste, sweet but not greasy, sure enough, you still have a way!" ”
Ruan Mianmian looked at him like a child, laughed out loud, and rolled up his sleeves to help him wash vegetables, although he was sitting, he still took care of him to eat, and he didn't eat a few bites.
Lu Gui also had a big meal, he couldn't even speak, he ate most of the meat on the table, and after eating, he put down the chopsticks, Ruan Mianmian and held bamboo leaf tea to him in a timely manner to relieve his greasy, which made Lu Gui feel that Ruan Mianmian was empathetic, considerate and thoughtful, and he loved Ruan Mianmian a little more.
When Lu Gui went to the front desk on the first floor to pay the bill, he paid for the meal of a silver ingot as he said, and took out an ingot from his arms and said that he was going to pay him for destroying the table, after all, the painting he painted on the table was profound.
Fang Dacang and Ruan Mianmian naturally refused to accept the money, who knew that Lu Gui not only insisted on putting down the money, but also took out a token with no words and stuffed it into Ruan Mianmian's hand, saying that he had something to do with this and went to the plum garden outside Beijing to find him, and smiled to himself and said that he recognized her as a righteous sister, Ruan Mianmian and Fang Dacang had not yet reacted, he had already walked out of the door.
It just so happened that Mu Ruqing and Jiang Xinyue returned to Yipinxiang from Anyang Hou's side, and took a look at Lu Gui at the gate, the appearance and temperament of both sides were impeccable, and they naturally attracted each other to pay special attention to each other, and gave each other a slight salute and slightly staggered, just such a shocking glance, both left a deep impression in each other's hearts.
At this time, the noon dining peak has also passed, and everyone has to gather together, Uncle Hua specially left a few dishes for Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing, and the family sat on the second floor affectionately chatting.
"Brother Mu, did you see the guest who went out just now? He's weird, and he's cute. Ruan Mianmian blew the foam of the tea, pouting and being cute and cute.
Hearing Ruan Mianmian praise the man for his cuteness, Fang Dacang pouted disdainfully: "Isn't it just that he has a good skin, who knows what he thinks in his heart, he also scratched the table in our store, just the one next door." ”
"It's rare for a cannon to be so disgusted with a person, tell us about it in Mianmian, I also have a strange thing to tell you." Jiang Xinyue drank porridge, glanced at Ruan Mianmian, looked at Mu Ruqing again, and made it clear that it was about Mu Ruqing.
Ruan Mianmian smiled, and he was also interested, so he told Lu Hui about eating hot pot and tomato hot pot today, and said that Lu Gui gave her a waist card without words and the plum garden where he lived.
"This person is really strange, he comes to have a meal and wants to recognize me as a righteous sister, but it doesn't seem to be hostile to us." Ruan Mianmian grinned.
"What a strange thing, you say he lives in the plum garden? This plum garden is also quite famous, it is one of the best gardens near the capital, it was built by a prime minister of the previous dynasty with a huge amount of money, a grass and a tree are worth a lot of money, and then the former dynasty collapsed, the plum garden was rewarded to who is unknown, but it must have a great background, maybe it is still a member of the royal family. Jiang Xinyue tapped her fingers on the table.
"No wonder, as soon as he made a move, it was two silver ingots, such a big deal is not something that ordinary people can take. Sister Xinyue, I'm done, can you also tell me about the strange thing you encountered? Ruan Mianmian followed Jiang Xinyue and completely became the appearance of a gossip girl.
"Ahem, that's the case, today we went to the study of the Hou Mansion of Anyang to discuss things with the Hou of Anyang, who knew that as soon as I came out of the door of the study, I bumped into the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, the one who had her birthday last time." Jiang Xinyue said.
"Ahem! What's going on in the little girl's mind? Hurry up and eat yours. Mu Ruqing looked a little embarrassed, and even the roots of his ears were slightly red, which was not his usual high-spirited appearance.
"Oh, just talk about it, what can you do, come to sleep, I'll tell you, the eldest lady was still dignified and elegant, and she looked knowledgeable, but after seeing our Boss Mu, her eyes were staring at him, without blinking, and when she walked next to Ruqing, she almost fell into his arms, which was love at first sight." It's that the smell of fragrant powder on the eldest lady is really choking. Listening to Jiang Xinyue talk about this, Mu Ruqing simply turned her head and sulked, Ruan Mianmian muttered to Jiang Xinyue with a smile, and her eyes narrowed with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Mu to be liked, although Liu Xi'er looks gentle and gentle, she doesn't look like a good person to get along with, the second miss provokes her so much, she doesn't move, I don't know if I will fall down when I meet our eldest brother in the future?" Last time, I also smelled the smell of incense powder, the incense is fragrant, but it is a little nasal rush, hehe. ”
Seeing Mu Ruqing's embarrassed appearance, the two girls laughed heartlessly, and even Uncle Hua and Fang Cannon hooked the corners of their mouths.
At this time, Ruan Mianmian, who was playing with Jiang Xinyue, didn't know how much her encounter today would help them in the future.
