Chapter Twenty-Seven: New Arrivals
"Boom ......" thunder everywhere, and the rain outside began to fall with the thunder, and the rain was so loud that it made people toss and turn. After a while, Yueqi smelled a familiar fragrance, gradually his eyelids became heavy, and he soon entered the dream fragrance.
Early in the morning, Yueqi was woken up by the sound of birds outside the window, became confused, and pushed open the window. Last night's rain rained all night, washing everything outside, and the air was full of the fragrance of the rain washing the soil, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Before going to bed last night, I thought of a few recipes for making liquor, and I wanted to remember it while I still remembered. Hurry up and freshen up and change clothes and go to the cellar to try. Iris couldn't wait, so he had to clean up by himself before going downstairs.
Seeing that the owner Yuerong was settling accounts in the lobby, he shouted: "Sister Yuerong! Do you see the irises? Yuerong couldn't help but laugh when she saw her messy and messy hair, and said, "No, wasn't she there with you last night?"
"I'm back, Miss!"
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the sound of the iris. I saw that she was unkempt, her face was covered with mud, her clothes were tattered, and her body was covered with mud.
"You girl! How did you get it like this? Where have you been?" Seeing this, the owner hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Yueqi was even more surprised, and hurriedly ran down from the stairs. I saw her holding the small yellow cloth belt she was carrying in her hand, and said with a proud smile: "It's okay, it's okay!" I'll just go back to my room and change my clothes!"
With that, he ran back to his room, leaving everyone to look at each other. Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, and that the people had returned safely, the owner stopped asking. Only Yueqi was faintly uneasy in his heart. After a long time, Iris changed her clothes and stood at the railing and waved at Yueqi, signaling her not to speak.
Seeing this, Yueqi hurriedly pretended to go back to the room to rest, and followed Iris back to his room.
Yueqi then asked: "Why did you go yesterday!"
Iris winked at her, took out a small yellow cloth band with a little mud stained and poured the contents onto the table. Yueqi looked at it, it was mint!
"I went back to the iris slope where I grew last night, and I remember that there was this silver dan. It's just bad luck that it rained heavily, so there was a bit of a delay. Iris explained.
Yueqi was moved and didn't know what to do, this stupid girl ran so far in the heavy rain on the mountain road, and she didn't return overnight, covered in mud, and this yellow cloth bag protected the cleanest! I couldn't help but redden.
"Don't cry, Miss! I'm looking for the wrong one! Then I'll help the young lady find it again. Iris saw her crying, and panicked and didn't know what to do.
Seeing her so flustered, Yueqi hurriedly suppressed her tears and said with pity: "This is the grass!" You stupid girl! Why are you so stupid!" Yueqi said this, but secretly thought in her heart that she must treat the buns like sisters!
"You haven't eaten yet! Walk! I'll take you to a food tasting!" Yueqi put the silver pill grass in hand, grabbed the iris hand, and pulled her to the back kitchen. Chef Yu received the recipe given to him by Iris last night, and he was full of joy, studied it all night, and finally made four dishes.
Wine-stuffed radish skin, candied green plum and black plum, red pepper pickled cabbage heart, tiger skin quail egg. Seeing the novel dishes, Iris couldn't help but salivate and wanted to taste it, but was stopped by Yueqi. Yueqi asked Chef Yu and said, "Chef can make the finer the noodles, the better."
Chef Yu nodded, and demonstrated to Yueqi. Yueqi took advantage of his efforts to support the noodles, personally cooked a bowl of light sour soup, and poured the sour soup on top when Chef Yu's noodles came out of the pot. A bowl of sour noodle soup with green onions was served to Iris. Iris looked at Yueqi flattered and said, "Miss, this is for me?"
Yueqi couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she looked at her cautious appearance.
"Eat quickly, after a night of rain, eat a bowl of hot noodles." Iris picked up the noodles and ate them in large gulps, not forgetting to eat while sandwiching the newly made side dishes.
Yueqi also picked up the chopsticks and tasted them. Although it can't compare to the taste of what I ate before, after all, the seasoning here is limited, and it is good to be able to make it like this.
"Wow Miss! This plum and black plum are delicious!" Iris's mouth is stuffed with food, and her face is bulging. provoked Yueqi to laugh. Chef Yu was also very happy. Busy said: "After making it according to the young lady's recipe, everything is prepared in full quantities."
Yueqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work, and if there are new dishes in the future, you will have to worry about the master."
Chef Yu originally received the recipe, and when he knew that it was from the young lady, he looked at her differently, and saw that she was so kind to herself when she treated iris so well. My heart is full of respect for this young lady: "This is the villain's internal affairs, and the young lady is serious."
Yueqi smiled and didn't say more, watching Iris drink the last mouthful of soup and asked her with satisfaction, "How is it?"
"Miss! It's so delicious! Iris, Iris, has never eaten such a delicious side dish, there is sweet and sour, and it is spicy and sour, and this side is delicious!" Iris kept boasting, and Yueqi was very happy.
"You haven't slept all night, and now you've eaten so much, it's inevitable that you'll accumulate food if you go to sleep. Why don't you go to the cellar with me and then go to bed? Yueqi asked.
"Of course!" Iris replied happily. She liked Miss more and more.
Yueqi took the iris out of the kitchen, and ordered Feng to prepare enough portions after today's four side dishes, and let the rewrite the book and put it on the table, which was highly recommended by someone who came. Feng saw that she was wandering in the back kitchen yesterday, and today the back kitchen came out with a new dish, so she hurried to the back kitchen to taste the food. After a while, Iris and Tsukisu arrived at the wine cellar. It just so happens that Kasumi Shadow is also there.
"Sister Xia, I have thought of a few new recipes and want to try them, it's good for you to help me make a jar of wine." Yueqi said with a smile.
"Good! Do you want osmanthus stuffed? Xia didn't talk much, but she asked the idea every time.
"No, the smell of osmanthus in the osmanthus brew itself is very strong, and it is okay to put it together with white peaches, but it is too flavorful to put it in other ingredients." Tsukisu explained.
Seeing Xia Ying, he looked around and handed a jar of bamboo leaves to Yueqi. Yueqi sniffed it, dipped it with her finger and tasted it, feeling refreshing. It was decided that it was it. So he motioned for Xia Ying to take another altar. The group of three came to the side hall of the back kitchen again.
Iris followed Yueqi's instructions and found green tea, yueji, sweet and sour oranges, tomatoes, red peppers, salt, and sugar. And he washed the silver danweed. Kasumi helped her get a lot of ice cubes out. I saw Yueqi, tinkering with the materials, putting this point, and putting that point for a while, and made four bowls of strange-looking wine. Let them taste.
In the first bowl, Yueqi washed the bottom with green tea, put in a little lime, added wine, and added ice cubes. Xia Ying took a shallow taste, and her eyebrows were full of surprise.
In the second bowl, the sweet orange was pounded out of the juice, added wine and ice, and put a tender green silver dancao on top, and the iris drank it happily. It seems that this girl has no resistance to sweet things, no wonder her face is so round. Yueqi couldn't help but be happy.
In the third bowl, mash the tomatoes, add a little salt, drip the lime, add the wine and smear the red pepper juice on the bowl. It looks weird, and it tastes weird, but it's this strange taste that makes the two of them taste one sip after another, but it's the fastest to drink.
The last bowl is very beautiful, the bottom of the bowl is covered with red moon petals, and the silver dancao is pounded into juice and poured into the bowl with wine. The mouth of the bowl was also wiped with juice. Although this bowl is not iced, it is exceptionally refreshing!
Four bowls of wine, four flavors! Irises and Xia Ying simply admire the five-body throw! Seeing their adoring expressions, Yueqi knew that it was done! It's not in vain that I thought about it all night! Hurriedly taught Kasumi how to make sake. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly made two more portions of the four kinds of wine, put them in the food box, and ordered someone to put the newly made side dishes on a plate and put them in the food box together.
After tossing all morning, the iris was almost gone, and he was a little drunk. Yueqi hurriedly asked her to go back to the house to rest. Kasumi continued to practice how to make wine.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Yueqi had to summon Yu'er, who had some kung fu. Yu'er is used to being alone on weekdays, maybe because she is afraid of life, and when she sees Yueqi, she always lowers her head and feels timid.
Yueqi had no choice but to say to him very gently: "I heard that Yu'er has some kung fu on weekdays, so can you help me send me a lying wine?"
Yu'er didn't look up, and it took a long time for a word to pop out. "Hmm!"
Seeing that he agreed, Yueqi breathed a sigh of relief and settled down: "This wine can't be bottled, it can only be put in a bowl, so please be careful and don't spill it." Do you know the Red Flame Prince's Mansion? Xiao Yu nodded.
Yueqi continued: "You go there, and the guard at the door asks you and says it's good to find the Yichen guard, and says it's a new product I asked you to send." That's it, and I'll be back as soon as I'm done. Yueqi took the two food boxes to him, and Yu'er took it quickly, turned around and walked out quickly.
Yueqi wondered in her heart, why did this kid see me like a ghost!
