Chapter 223: Moving
Because Yan Yan promised the Lu family, he would come back to live for a while every year during the New Year's Festival in the future, so this move, the large pieces of furniture basically did not move, and what he took away were some commonly used books, valuable calligraphy and painting antiques, and the clothes of the two.
Rao is like this, moving is not an easy thing, fortunately, Yan Yan made up her mind to move out of the Lu family before she got married, so most of her dowry has not been unsealed yet, and she has moved a lot one after another.
Therefore, early in the morning of February 2nd, Yan Yan came back from the upper room to ask for peace, and ordered the mothers-in-law to move things outside, and she took Qinghe to continue to organize and pack the things for daily use, and at the same time, she also had to organize and make a book of unused furniture ornaments, because in the future, she would leave a few mothers-in-law of the Lu family to take care of the house, and she would take all the Qinghe away.
After about an hour, the things were almost moved, Yan Yan and Lu You had a random breakfast, and after going to the room to say goodbye, they hurried to their new house.
At this time, the gate of the Ming Garden and the corner gates on both sides were wide open, and there were more than a dozen people busy outside the door, some people were hanging corner lights, some people were sticking door gods, some people were hanging peach charms, some people were sweeping the floor, and there was a small guy holding a long list of firecrackers to climb the tree and hang it.
As soon as Yan Yan's carriage stopped, Shi Changsheng and Zhou Haisheng ran over, saying that everything was ready, and they would set off firecrackers as soon as the auspicious time arrived.
When Yan Yan heard this, he had to wait in the carriage, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhou Haisheng shouted "The auspicious time has come", Yan Yan asked Lu You to go and light the firecrackers in person, and after the firecrackers burned out, Yan Yan's carriage entered through the gate, bypassed the hall, and stopped directly in front of the shadow wall in the upper room.
After getting out of the car, Qinghe took Qingmiao to move the things in the car down and send them to the inner courtyard, Lu You was responsible for staying in the upper room and watching the little maids hang calligraphy and paintings to decorate the hall, Yan Yan went to the stove room by himself, today's chef is Yan Yan herself, no way, the main reason is that the guests are too noble, she has to take out the ability to take care of the house.
In addition, she also has to check the food safety, although the work purchased is done by Shi Changsheng himself, but she can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the people in the stove room, so she arranged for the nurse and Qingyu to keep an eye on the whole process and make some preparations first.
Because Yan Yan needs to prepare a few time-consuming dishes, such as Buddha jumping over the wall, in fact, this dish Yan Yan has never cooked or eaten in her previous life, but she has seen the general process from her mobile phone and knows that it is made by simmering in a jar with a lot of precious seafood, mountain delicacies, chickens and ducks.
And the reason why Yan Yan never forgot this dish was largely because she once posted it as proof, swearing that the first thing she would do when she made money was to taste the legendary famous dish, brackets, authentic.
The wish of the previous life was not fulfilled, and in this life, he turned into a rich woman and became a nobleman, so this time he feasted the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and the first dish that Yan Yan thought of was Buddha jumping over the wall.
So, she sent Shi Changsheng to the street for three days, and then she bought the ingredients Yan Yan needed, shark fin, sea cucumber, fish lips, fish maw, abalone, scallops, sea rice, shiitake mushrooms, hair cabbage, monkey head, dried bamboo shoots, etc.
Although the things were bought, Yan Yan couldn't handle them, so she ordered Shi Changsheng to send the things directly to the restaurant, and then found a master from the restaurant who could handle dry goods and sent them over, and then Yan Yan told the nurse the general requirements and process.
For this reason, when I got up early this morning, the nurse put the processed ingredients into a large jar according to Yan Yan's instructions, then put a pigeon and a chicken, add a bowl of fat and thin ham cut into thin slices, fill it with water, and then pour in about half a catty of rice wine, and then seal it with dried lotus leaves, put it in the charcoal fire, and simmer until now.
In addition to this Buddha jumping over the wall, Yan Yan also prepared several big dishes such as pork belly wrapped chicken, salted duck, sauce duck, roast chicken, and roast lamb chops.
Yan Yan had eaten these dishes in his previous life, among which the dish of pork belly and chicken was the specialty dish of his grandmother in the previous life, and it would be served on the table every New Year's Day, so this dish was not difficult for Yan Yan, and he had already taught the nurse.
Yan Yan has also explored the methods of the two dishes of roast chicken and sauced duck, which are quite successful, and now they have become the two signature dishes of the restaurant.
However, Yan Yan has only eaten the dish of salted duck, and he has heard others mention it in his last life, but he has not practiced it, and he wants to try it this time, but he doesn't know if it will succeed.
The rest is a few steamed dishes and vegetarian dishes, and this Yan Yan is not worried.
"Grandma, this jar of vegetables has been simmering for more than three hours, do you need to open it to see?" When the nurse saw Yan Yan coming in, she hurriedly asked.
The main reason is that there are too many good things in this dish, many of which she has never seen or heard of, and she knows that it is extremely expensive without asking, not to mention that it is prepared for the emperor and the queen mother, and she is also afraid of being responsible.
Yan Yan hesitated, "Don't yet, I'm afraid I'm going to taste it." ”
Then Yan Yan checked the spare ingredients and began to teach the nurse to make salted duck, she didn't know anything else, but she remembered one thing, to wait for the water in the pot to bubble a little and put the pickled duck in the water and keep soaking and flipping, this is a test of patience and physical strength, Yan Yan handed it to Qingyu.
Subsequently, she began to prepare several steamed dishes, including steamed pork ribs with rice noodles, plum cabbage and pork, pearl balls, and peacock open-screen steamed fish, using mandarin fish, which was brought up from the river that had just been opened.
When he was instructing the nurse to pose for the mandarin fish slices, Qingyu came, saying that the Yan family was coming, and he was here to send a housewarming gift to Yan Yan.
Yan Yan was just about to open his mouth to ask who was coming, but he saw Yan Bin running over, and Yan Yan heard him shouting from afar, "Eldest sister, eldest sister, where are you?" ”
Yan Yan came out of the kitchen, and when he saw that Yan Bin was about to drill into the kitchen, he hurriedly stopped him, "The gentleman is far away from cooking?" What's the hurry, I'm sure I'll be able to get you enough to eat. ”
"Got it, eldest sister, but eldest sister, can you tell me what good dishes have been made, so fragrant?" Yan Bin rubbed onto Yan Yan and twisted.
"You don't understand, but you haven't eaten it anyway." Yan Yan pinched Yan Bin's chubby cheek, "Say, is this New Year just busy eating again?" Have you practiced the words, have you written the article? ”
"It's still the eldest sister who understands the second brother." Yan Zhang also came in, followed by Yan Yu and Yan Tong.
Seeing this, Yan Yan's eyes darkened, in fact, although she told her uncle and aunt that she moved today, she also told them that she would invite the Empress Dowager and the emperor to come and eat warm house wine today.
Including the Lu family, Yan Yan only symbolically invited the old lady, Lu Duan and the Zhu family, and specially explained to Erfang and Lu He, saying that there were members of the royal family on this day, and they would be invited again another day.
The old lady and the Zhu family both expressed their understanding, but Yan Yan didn't expect the Yan family to actually go out with the whole family.
