Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Lychee Storm

In early summer, the business of the Xin family restaurant has been very good, Xin Ping hired another chef, Jiao Niang and Li Shuisheng signed a death contract, taught Li Shuisheng his own cooking skills, and now Jiao Niang can go to the restaurant every month to help out some things.

Yan Yijun recently went to the barracks for military training, and Jiao Niang has not seen anyone else for more than ten days. There was too much free time, she took Fang Yuanyuan to wander around Luonan City every day, and found a lot of new and interesting places, and the two little sisters felt happy like never before.

In the afternoon of this day, Jiao Niang was reading a book in the room, and Fang Yuanyuan suddenly ran over with a plate of lychees.

"Lychee! Where did you get this? Jiao Niang looked at the bright red lychee with a bright shell in surprise.

Fang Yuanyuan swallowed the flesh in his mouth first: "Brother Xin Ping bought it and sent it back, Brother Xin Ping told us to finish eating it quickly, otherwise it will change its taste." ”

Jiao Niang peeled a grain and tasted it, and the crystal clear flesh was full of sweet juice when she bit it lightly: "I don't know where I bought this, let's go buy some lychee wine to drink." ”

As long as Fang Yuanyuan mentioned eating, she blinked her big round eyes and asked, "Lychee wine?" Is it delicious? ”

"You can't drink, I'll make you lychee dew to drink, lychee dew is delicious." Jiao Niang nodded Fang Yuanyuan's forehead funny, and the two little girls went to the market to buy lychees hand in hand.

The market in Luonan City sells everything, Jiao Niang even saw the seller of hairtail, and the two of them walked around and went around most of the market to see that there was a lychee sale.

"Come and take a look! Fresh lychee! The stall seller shouted, and many people shook their heads and left after asking about the price.

"How do you sell lychees?" Jiao Niang and Fang Yuanyuan walked over and asked.

The vendor saw that someone came to ask the price again, and said impatiently: "Two catties and one tael of silver." ”

"So expensive?" Fang Yuanyuan exclaimed.

"Expensive? Did you know that lychees change their flavor very quickly? In order to keep it fresh, it had to be chilled, and the horse was sent over. Of course, it is expensive to waste so much manpower and material resources! The vendor was in a hurry and immediately explained, he felt that Luonan and these people didn't know the goods!

Jiao Niang has a number in her heart, "a ride on the red dust concubine smiles, no one knows that it is lychees", legend has it that in order to please the concubine, Xuanzong specially let the envoy ride a stagecoach to transport lychees. It can be seen that the vendors are right, lychees were quite difficult to transport in ancient times.

"Give me four pounds." Jiao Niang didn't bargain with the vendors, and directly gave two taels of silver.

"Oh, thank you, girl." The vendor thought that most of these lychees were going to be smashed in his hands again, but he didn't expect a bold lord to come at this time, and he immediately smiled.

Fang Yuanyuan had a lot of strength, and everything was placed in a big basket on her back. The two little girls walked around the market for a while, bought something else, and then went home.

When she got home, she started to make lychee wine without resting, first removing all the lychee shells and cores. Find another waterless and oil-free jar, Jiao Niang bought a new jar for brewing before, and now it comes in handy.

Spread the lychee at the bottom of the jar, and then stack a layer of rock sugar, just like a layer of lychee and a layer of rock sugar, and finally pour a high-concentration grain liquor, seal the jar, and you can taste the wine after three months.

Seeing that the lychee wine was finished, Fang Yuanyuan hurriedly asked, "Where is my lychee dew?" ”

Jiao Niang patted her head and almost forgot, but fortunately she left some lychees. She found the sake she had made before, and put the peeled lychee meat and some dried osmanthus into the brew and stirred.

"You can drink it tomorrow!" Jiao Niang was done, and clapped her hands a little proudly.

Fang Yuanyuan pouted unhappily: "Isn't this also wine?" Why don't you let me drink lychee wine? ”

"There is basically no degree of liquor, but I use high-grade lychee wine." Jiao Niang shook her head funny, this greedy Fang Yuanyuan!

Fang Yuanyuan nodded, anyway, just eat it. Pan Ah Pan finally arrived the next day, and she couldn't wait to enjoy her lychee dew.

But Fang Yuanyuan was just about to go to the kitchen to eat lychee dew when he encountered a thunderbolt on a sunny day - the lychee dew was gone!

It turned out that Yan Yijun had been in the barracks for a while, and Jiao Niang was naturally worried. Early this morning, Ye Wenzhou came back from the palace to say hello and said that he was going to the military camp on an errand, and asked Jiao Niang if she had anything to bring.

When Jiao Niang heard this, she hurriedly used eighteen kinds of martial arts to cook a few dishes that Yan Yijun loved to eat, and brought them to Ye Wenzhou. After thinking about it, Jiao Niang gave him the new lychee dew made yesterday.

"Don't worry, Yuanyuan, I've made a new lychee dew, and I can eat it in the afternoon!" Jiao Niang thought that lychee dew was easy to make, so she gave the previous one to Ye Wenzhou and took it away. She made a new one and gave it to Fang Yuanyuan in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, just this sentence, Fang Yuanyuan cried. Jiao Niang has never seen her cry, and she has the impression that she is a strong bodyguard with martial arts, and in Jiao Niang's heart, this kind of person with peerless martial arts should have a steely will and spirit.

She didn't expect Fang Yuanyuan to cry for her words.

"That'...... It's my lychee dew......" Fang Yuan's big tears flowed down his round face and fell to the ground drop by drop.

Now Jiao Niang panicked, Xin Pinglin's aunt and they all ran over to check when they heard the voice, and when they saw the sad Fang Yuanyuan who was crying, they all glared at Jiao Niang angrily.

"What's going on with Jiao Niang?" Aunt Lin took Fang Yuanyuan into her arms in distress, after all, Fang Yuanyuan was just a child after all.

Jiao Niang couldn't help but laugh and told the cause and effect, and everyone felt funny when they heard it, but Fang Yuanyuan was still crying unrelentingly at the moment, muttering while crying: "That's my lychee dew." ”

Lin Ruyi brought a handkerchief to Fang Yuanyuan to gently wipe away her tears, and coaxed: "Good girl, don't cry, it's all bad for Jiao Niang." Shall I take you to buy some more lychees? ”

Hearing this, Fang Yuanyuan finally stopped her tears, she nodded and said, "Let's go buy it now!" Xin Jiaoniang is so bad, she forgets her friends, let's not play with her. ”

Aunt Lin laughed when she said this, and Jiao Niang blushed embarrassedly.

On the other side, in the barracks, Yan Yijun was bringing out the dishes that Jiao Niang had made for him from the food box.

It's all what he likes to eat, like tea shrimp, mapo tofu, braised pork ribs, etc., and Jiao Niang also made a can of lychee dew over, which made everyone here greedy.

"General Yan is really blessed! I don't know if we are lucky enough to be able to share the craftsmanship of Mrs. Yan with General Yan! The one who spoke was a deputy general who was single all year round, and just now Yan Yijun opened the food box, and he couldn't stand it just by smelling the smell.

"Smack." Yan Yijun put the food into the food box and put the food box behind him: "No, if you want to eat and get married, let your lady make it for you." ”

"It's stingy." The deputy general muttered in a low voice, and was so frightened by Yan Yijun's glaring that he didn't dare to speak.

Yan Yijun withdrew his eyes with satisfaction, rubbed the food box tenderly and sweetly, and the appearance of Jiao Niang busy for him appeared in front of him, and his heart suddenly became sweet......
