Chapter Twenty-Four: To Each His Own Mind
It seems that there are also fights in the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, Xiao Yao has traveled all over the world, and he is not the eldest brother who gave the power of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in Liaodong to his concubine.
Gu Fanghua was secretly calculating in her heart, and she hadn't figured it out yet, when the shopkeeper Qi had already taken his buddies and put all the dishes on the table.
"The dishes are all ready, please use them slowly."
Xiao Yao raised his glass and said with a smile: "It's an honor for Xiao to know you, acquaintance is fate, do it!" ”
"!"
Everyone raised their glasses, saluted each other, and drank them all!
Gu Fanghua put down the wine glass, and couldn't wait to clip a piece of roasted lamb chops, mainly because the aroma was too tempting, and he had never smelled it before.
The lamb chops, which are roasted golden and crispy, sprinkled with sesame seeds and unknown spices, are all whole, which is really difficult to eat. Yan Shaoxun diligently cut it with a silver knife and put it on Gu Fanghua's plate.
"Thank you, fifth cousin."
Gu Fanghua divided the lamb chops into two pieces and gave them to Zhong Taojiao, and after tasting them, they were spicy and salty, and the meat of the lamb chops was tender and grilled just right.
"Jiaojiao, what kind of spice do you say this is, so fragrant, and a little spicy?"
Gu Fanghua felt that the taste was good, and spoke to Zhong Taojiao in a low voice, but before Zhong Taojiao could answer, Yan Shaoxun replied: "If I guessed correctly, this should be cumin, which is used to cook beef and mutton, and it is the most delicious." ”
Xiao Yao nodded and said: "Yan Wugongzi is really knowledgeable, this is indeed a unique spice in the Western Regions, but it is called wild fennel locally, and it is also called cumin." When roasting sheep, it is used as a seasoning, and the aroma can be transmitted for miles. ”
"Do they roast sheep and put this wild fennel without salt? I heard that the nomads on the steppe have no fixed residence, and the grassland is their home, and they have no houses. ”
Gu Fanghua smacked her tongue a little, if there was no salt and chili, what was so delicious about this?
Xiao Yao replied with a smile: "There is no fixed place to live, it is true that the four seas are home, they all put away the yurt and put it on the horse, and take it out and spread it when it gets dark." Salt on the grasslands is very precious, and ordinary herders can't afford to eat fine salt, so they use rock salt. It is to roast the mutton, first use a knife to grind it on the salty rock, and then cut the meat naturally has a taste. ”
Zhong Taojiao longed: "With the sky as the bed and the earth as the bed, how beautiful it is to see the stars at night." ”
Zhong Zibin took a lamb chop in his hand, and munched on it: "Little sister, what if it rains?" ”
"Big brother, if you think like this, you don't have to live a long time, look at you, you are holding a gnawing bone in your hand, and you are not afraid of people laughing."
Zhong Taojiao said angrily, Zhong Zibin disagreed, and said with a smile: "A manly man, he should eat meat and drink a lot, and he is not a girl!" ”
Gu Fanghua sneered: "Brother Zhong, what's wrong with the girl?" Girls aren't afraid of spiders! ”
Zhong Zibin's face turned red, and he looked at Gu Shinian gloomily: "Shinian, you are also afraid, why don't they tease you, they always can't get along with me?" ”
Yan Shaoxun, Yan Rongling, and Xiao Yao looked at Gu Shinian together, all a little curious about what he would be afraid of?
Gu Shinian smiled freely: "No one is perfect, and only when you are afraid will you have scruples." If the sky is not afraid of the earth, then who can be restrained? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! It is often said in the drama that he is willing to cut his whole body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse. ”
After Zhong Taojiao finished speaking, she realized that there were two princes present, and she wanted to cover it up and said: "I didn't say what the emperor meant, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue." ”
Yan Rongling smiled slightly, and said elegantly: "In this drama, there are two or three steps to the end of the world, and there are four or five people with thousands of troops, so you can't count them, and you can't take them seriously. ”
Yan Shaoxun also said: "Don't worry, cousin of the Zhong family, my sixth brother and I are random people. Cousin Mingzhu, try this bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall. ”
Gu Fanghua smiled and thanked him, and thought to himself: Yan Shaoxun is really thoughtful, but it's a pity that when you have no use value, it's worthless.
"Sixth cousin, help me clip chopsticks and fish tart, I want to dip it in rice vinegar."
Yan Rongling doted on the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of fish, put it in rice vinegar and dipped it in the sauce before putting it in Gu Fanghua's bowl.
Xiao Yao also tasted it and said in surprise: "The dipping sauce of this drunken Yuelou fish is so special, sour, spicy, and delicious. ”
Yan Rongling explained: "The golden jade of this Drunken Moon Tower is a signature dish, because the fish it uses all comes from a cold pool three hundred miles away. Therefore, the fish meat is particularly delicious, and its dipping sauce is the unique aged rice vinegar with rice fat, and the millet spicy sauce of southern Yunnan is added, which is even more unique. ”
"Yes, every time we come out, we think about this golden jade. It's made in the imperial dining room, and I always feel that there is no such taste. ”
Gu Fanghua's words caused Yan Shaoxun to smile: "Cousin Mingzhu, what you eat is delicious when you eat this fish, from slaughtering to serving, it doesn't exceed a single incense, of course it tastes delicious." If you are in the palace, wait for the imperial dining room to be done, and then be inspected by someone, and finally sent to the imperial study or the heart cultivation hall, and someone has to try it, can it be fresh? ”
"Then when I go back, I will also tell my uncle to make him envious."
Gu Fanghua's words made everyone laugh. She has already eaten three glasses of peach blossom wine, and now it is the time when Hongxia is full of hibiscus. Even Xiao Yao also looked at it twice.
Yan Rongling said to Danzhu who was waiting next to him: "Danzhu, you can't give your master any more drink, if you drink again, you have to be drunk." ”
Danzhu smiled and said: "Please also ask the sixth master to talk about Miss, the slave and maid are soft-spoken, but they don't dare to disobey Miss." ”
Gu Shinian also said: "Mingzhu really can't be drunk, and it shouldn't be able to be extra gracious for three cups." Otherwise, your grandmother will be worried when you go back. ”
Gu Fanghua reluctantly put down the wine glass, and glanced at Zhong Taojiao's cup greedily. The coquettish appearance and the aggressive appearance by the Wei River are simply like two people.
Zhong Zibin looked at Gu Fanghua's eyes, and couldn't bear to say: "Anyway, it's still some time to go back to the palace, why don't you let Mingzhu have another drink?" ”
When Gu Fanghua heard this, she immediately looked at Yan Rongling, her apricot eyes were shining and looking at him, and the expectations in them were clearly visible.
Yan Rongling was a little overwhelmed, looked at Yan Shaoxun with a light cough, and asked, "Fifth brother, what do you say?" ”
Yan Shaoxun is in a dilemma, let Gu Fanghua drink it again? She drinks lightly, and she is afraid of losing her temper in front of others. Don't let her drink it, right? Gu Fanghua still doesn't put the account on his head?
In the end, Yan Shaoxun was about to open his mouth and not let Gu Fanghua drink any more, when there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
"His grandmother is a bear! Lao Tzu wants gold and jade, you say it's gone, Lao Tzu wants the Buddha to jump over the wall, you still say it's gone. The last crab roe crisp is gone! So what's in your hands? ”
The guy from Zuiyue Lou hurriedly explained: "Guest officer, there are few crab roe in this season, and there are only a few crab roe crisps every day. This is a guest in the private room booked, and the small one really doesn't dare to give it to the uncle. ”
