【Chapter 39】The Merry Iron Egg
With the last dish of white braised mutton being presented to the table, the banquet of Baifu finally came to an end.
The popularity of braised vegetables is beyond everyone's imagination, especially the white braised mutton, even the uncle himself did not expect it to be so popular.
The people of the Central Plains are not very accustomed to the smell of mutton, in order to remove the meat, the cook often chooses more spices and sauces, and the spicy red marinade has become the first choice for braised mutton, but the uncle has done the opposite and used a light white marinade.
As a result, the marinated mutton is not fishy or fatty, very tender and refreshing, and this is the only braised dish that has not even been let go of the soup.
The rest of the braised vegetables are not bad, all of them are the first dishes on the table that were snatched up.
The cooks who didn't believe that Yu Wan and her party could make any good dishes earlier, all felt that their faces were extremely hot, and they naturally tasted the dishes of the Yu family, and they could indeed afford to say that they were extremely delicious, and it was no wonder that the eldest lady invited people from "Qianli" not far away.
"Bow to the wind!" An old cook from the Bai family patted the uncle on the shoulder and said convincingly.
"A little girl can do it too." The cook in Bai Yulou on the side said that he had seen Yu Wan and knew that she could boil salt, but Miss Bai gave a gag order, because this matter was not publicized, and what he didn't expect was that this girl's knife skills were so good.
If his apprentice had half the cleverness of this little girl, he would have been able to cook much faster.
Of course, the two young men are not bad, all day long, dirty work and hard work, even the youngest son has been obediently staying in the backyard, not coming in at all to shout.
Several people are tired, especially the uncle with inconvenient legs and feet, Yu Wan has tried not to let him do anything other than boiling, but even if he sits on a chair and chops vegetables all day, it is difficult enough for him to hurt.
"Where's the little iron egg?" Uncle asked breathlessly.
"Backyard." Yu Songdao.
The three siblings went to the backyard.
Today is so busy that he doesn't care about this little guy's food, he must be hungry, sitting in front of the cold stove, while tearfully nibbling on a few scallion pancakes that Yu Wan left for him in the morning.
Several people felt so guilty that their consciences hurt.
However, when they went around the fence and came to that secluded corner, the little iron egg, who should have been hanging snot bubbles, hungry and frozen, and aggrieved and frightened, was sitting loudly on a box that had been brought from nowhere.
How delicate and delicate that box should be.
He crossed Xiao Erlang's legs, grabbed a bunch of crystal clear purple grapes in one hand, and held a piece of fat and thin jerky in the other, and on the stove in front of him, the scallion pancakes were gone, replaced by a pot of milky white thick stew.
The little iron egg has a bite of dried meat and a grape, eats it happily, and drinks a mouthful of hot soup from time to time, and is so happy that it almost flies.
The corners of Yu Wan's mouth twitched.
So, they worried all afternoon and blamed themselves for three seconds, and as a result, this little guy was happier than a fairy?
Soon, Yu Wan found the delicate and luxurious large boxes on the side of Xiao Tiedan.
Compared to these, the out-of-season fruits, venison jerky, and oxtail soup that Xiao Tie Dan eats are nothing at all.
"What happened?"
Under Yu Wan's careful questioning, Xiao Tiedan honestly explained the things in the day.
After listening to Xiao Tiedan's words, the three of them heard their heartbroken voices-
They worked tirelessly all day, and it was better for Xiao Tie Dan to sell two cakes casually......
……
"Ah, what else is there?" The uncle was also a little surprised, the capital is not without a perverse little gentleman, but such nonsense is only seen in his life.
There were only a few people when they came, but when they went back, there were a few more cars.
"I'll ask if there are any extra carriages to rent to us in the White Mansion." Yu Feng said.
Uncle nodded.
Yu Feng went to the bamboo shed to find Steward Ding, but who expected that Steward Ding didn't find it, but touched a gray nose.
"What do you say? You're going to take three carts of stuff with you? Who allowed you to go from Baifu to something? The housekeeper of the White Mansion slapped the table and said.
The earlier family is gone, which Yu Feng doesn't know.
Yu Feng explained: "It's not Baifu's things, it's our own. ”
"Your own? Why didn't I see you bringing so many things when you came? The family didn't believe Yu Feng's words, and hurriedly asked people to invite Mrs. Bai over.
This Mrs. Bai is the continuation of Master Bai, a few years younger than Jiang, but she doesn't look as young and beautiful as Jiang, but she is also delicate and moving.
Madame Bai took a large group of maids and women to the kitchen in a mighty manner.
The cooks, who were packing up their things and preparing to leave, were all frightened.
"Where's the stuff?" Madame Bai asked with a cold face.
Jia Ding said: "In the backyard, Madame, please come with the little one." ”
Madame Bai and the family went into the backyard and came to the place where the congratulatory gifts were placed.
Madame Bai looked at the high-quality pineapple wooden boxes, her eyes widened, and when she looked at the contents again, her eyes almost didn't fall off!
Snow Lotus also has it in her family, but who has ever seen such a big one?
She can afford to wear fox fur, but when will she pass through the purple fox in Yunshan?
The money she had in hand could buy a mountain of oxen, but she didn't dare to kill one of them to make oxtail soup just by lending her a hundred guts.
Although it is not gold or silver jewelry, it is difficult to buy any amount of gold and silver jewelry.
"Madam, there are so many guests today, they must have taken advantage of the surprise and stole the guests' congratulatory gifts! It's not a small discovery in time, but the people in the house are afraid that they have already seen the face of the young lady and let them smuggle things out of the house! Jia Ding said with a look of encouragement.
The family is stupid, and they can't see the value of the congratulatory gift, but Mrs. Bai is clear, with the Bai family's family, if it wasn't for the relationship between Mrs. Xian's mother's family, they wouldn't have been able to buy the house on this street at all, how could they get these rare things in terms of the guests they made?
But...... So what?
If she understands the truth, she must tell the truth?
Uncle said: "We didn't steal anything, we came to the Bai family for the first time, we don't know where to put your congratulatory gifts, and besides, we haven't left the kitchen without permission." ”
"The family is cooking in the kitchen, and I can testify that they never left." The old cook of the Bai family stood up and said.
The cook of Bai Yulou also stood up: "Yes, we can all testify that they really never left. ”
Jia Ding scoffed, "Really? Haven't you even been in a thatched house? ”
That's a bit of a rhetoric.
Yu Song pointed at his nose and said, "Then you use the kung fu of going to the thatched house to steal so many things for me to try!" ”
"You still dare to be arrogant!" The family relied on Mrs. Bai to support herself, and did not pay attention to the country cook at all, raised a fist, and smashed it towards Yu Song's head.
He is a practitioner, and if he eats this punch, Yu Song will have to break his head and bleed.
It was too late, but it was too late, and a bare hand grabbed his wrist, turned around, and a beautiful over-the-shoulder fall threw him to the ground.
Immediately after, Yu Wan stepped forward and stepped on his chest!
