Chapter 790: A Day of Soup Kitchen

In the past, when "Ye Leek Bud" celebrated her birthday, although Ning Ruoxi didn't make cakes, she would make a lot of snacks that she was good at.

Then the egg longevity noodles are also made by herself, and in addition, most of the gifts she gives every year are also handmade by herself.

There are clothes, shoes, or small school bags, small dolls and small jewelry.

It's a pity that all those things were later taken away by Ye Jiang's family, and I don't know where she got them.

Anyway, after Ye woke up, he didn't see it.

It's Ye Xi's place, there may still be some left.

After freshening up, Ye Qing was thinking in his heart, where to spend his birthday at night?

There are so many people in this house, it is the most convenient to go to the restaurant, and you don't have to work hard in the kitchen.

After all, people with a little money like to have a big feast, you can eat for a day and a night without leaving the table, north and south snacks, all kinds of wine, and delicacies from the mountains and seas.

They will also invite the troupe to join in the fun, or set off fireworks for the night.

It's just a lively and festive picture.

However, Ye Qing wanted to carefully arrange Qian Junbao's birthday, but he had to be restricted too much.

Because today is July 14, the restaurant will not be open in the evening.

The troupe can't be invited today, and they can't set off fireworks tonight, this day is really a bit unlucky.

What's more, every birthday can only be like this, if you change to someone who likes to be lively, you may have to be bored!

This God's arrangement is sometimes so unpleasant.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Dongqu called outside the door: "Miss, Steward Qian is looking for you." ”

Ye Qing got up, opened the door and walked out, and saw Qian Shanbo standing under the eaves with his head down.

"Old butler, is there something wrong with me?"

"Back to the young lady's words, today our house is going to give porridge and food at the West City Gate, and the young master has already presided over it.

The old slave is here to ask you to go there later. Qian Shanbo arched his hand.

Although it is the Qian Mansion that wants to do good deeds today, the food and silver money in this mansion are now in Ye Qing's hands.

Today's soup soup and food donation will definitely make Ye Qing show his face.

When Ye Qing heard this, he quickly figured out that this "soup soup and food" was different from what he did when he was affected by the disaster, and it was more like the rich people looking for a way to gather together to do good deeds.

This is the same as the day of Laba, when various temples made Laba porridge and gave it out.

Due to Daewoo's peace and security over the years, Chongyang Town has also been smooth in recent years, and has not suffered any major disasters, and there are very few displaced people in this town.

Therefore, some large families have opened sheds to give porridge has been slightly different from the past, and the porridge made is beautiful and delicious, and the grain sent out is also the grain with better color.

Slowly, there is a bit of comparison, if the food and porridge sent out by anyone are not good, not only will they not be able to accumulate blessings, but they will also be poked in the back.

Ye Qing asked, "How much porridge and how much grain have you prepared?" ”

Qian Shanbo replied: "Sixteen buckets of porridge are estimated to be enough for five hundred people." In addition, I prepared 10 stone of rice, enough to send 1,000 people. (One bucket is equal to ten liters, ten buckets is equal to one stone)

"Well, Junbao, have they already set off?"

"Just left." Qian Shanbo looked at Ye Qing and said, "The young master said, let you finish breakfast, it's not too late to pass slowly." This soup soup and food donation will be done until the evening. ”

Ye Qing stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his forehead, and said slowly, "Okay, I know."

Old housekeeper, you can ask someone to make some herbal tea, and get ten big oil-paper umbrellas, and send them over when the time comes.

On a hot day, if you are prepared, you will always be able to use it. ”

Qian Shanbo glanced at Ye Qing deeply, opened his mouth and said, "Old slave, immediately order." ”

Ye Qing bowed slightly, and then said to Dongqu: "Dongqu, you come in and help me get my hair back." ”

Before, she casually combed her own bun and pinned a pearl hairpin. But when you have to go out, you still have to get a more dignified hairstyle.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Qingzheng was eating millet porridge with salted duck eggs and a few side dishes, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he remembered that the soup porridge he had seen in previous years had no side dishes for people to eat.

I harvested thousands of catties of radishes and Chinese cabbage in my own space, and they were all placed in the freshly dug cellar of the Blue Star Manor.

Originally, those cabbages and radishes were intended to be used by Ye Ying to make kimchi.

At this time, it is better to make them all into side dishes, and when the time comes, take them out and distribute them to those who eat porridge.

She knew that the people who would come to receive the porridge today were not all homeless and poor.

Those rich people can empty their porridge for themselves, but the people who are full of tricks and generosity will put all kinds of dried fruits, and the stingy ones will also put some red beans, mung beans or red dates and the like.

Maybe it's the first time to give porridge in Chongyang Town, Qian Shanbo asked people to cook white porridge, maybe the people who came to receive it at that time would not be as much as Qian Shanbo said.

It's different if you get some kimchi out, and it tastes good when you eat it together.

The crisp and sweet and sour turnip, eaten with white porridge, is hard to resist its temptation.

There is also sour and spicy Chinese cabbage, which is also a good side dish.

She can also be regarded as making a living advertisement for her own kimchi.

However, the traditional production method is a little cumbersome, waiting for three to five days, and now it can only be used in a simpler and faster way.

Fortunately, there is space in hand, just exchange some kimchi water for it, so that it only needs to be marinated for an hour or two.

Thinking of it, Ye Qing instructed a housekeeper Granny Du to find ten servant women to come over, and then she asked someone to go to the market and buy some large jars that could hold fifty catties of kimchi.

He also ordered someone to pull half of the radishes and cabbage from the cellar of the Blue Star Manor.

After breakfast, Ye Qing hurriedly picked up the big guy to make kimchi.

Wash the radish, do not peel it, and peel off the spots.

Because the skin of the radish is particularly crisp and tender, cut the radish into half-inch-long sections, then change the knife to cut thick slices, and then cut into thumb-thick strips and put them in a large pot.

Add an appropriate amount of salt, white vinegar, and kimchi water, stir well, and marinate for two hours, turning once or twice halfway through to let it marinate evenly.

After two hours, pour out the radish and drain it. Then pour the drained radish back into a large pot, add an appropriate amount of chopped chili peppers, and chili powder and sprinkle some sugar to stir well.

The delicious and refreshing sour and spicy radish strips are ready.

When making hot and sour radish, just use the same method to process the Chinese cabbage.

Due to the large number of people in the house, dozens of kimchi jars were soon filled.

A few servant women tasted the hot and sour radish that had just been made, and thought it tasted very good, so they suggested that they leave a jar to eat at night.

Ye Qing thought about it and agreed.

Soon Ye Qing took more than a dozen servants and a few guards towards the west city gate, today is porridge, the scene will definitely be very crowded at that time, it will be much better to have guards to maintain order.

When I arrived at Xichengmen Street, I found that it was already very lively, with more than a dozen porridge sheds built of moso bamboo connected together.

Many people wear hats around the porridge shed, and in order to have a lively scene, they will go to the porridge shed to receive a bowl of porridge to drink.

There are also people who don't go past to line up because of the hot weather, so they stand under the shade and watch.

If there is a family whose porridge is particularly delicious, there will be more people in line.

Ye Qing was led by a servant woman and found his own porridge shed.

Perhaps, this is the first time that "Qianfu" has given porridge, and it is white rice porridge, and the people in line are really a little small, only three or five people.

At a glance, she saw Qian Junbao sitting in the middle, at this time he was leisurely holding a book and looking at it, and Huo Zimeng was standing behind him with a serious face.

The person who presided over the soup kitchen was Qian Duoduo, and he was unhurriedly handing out the white porridge to the people who came to receive the porridge, but from time to time he would look at the lively queues of other houses.

"Xianggong." Ye Qing walked into the porridge shed and shouted.

Qian Junbao immediately looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Lady, you are here." ”

As he spoke, he immediately got up, pulled a bamboo chair over, and took out his handkerchief to wipe the surface of the chair.

"Sit here."

"Okay." Ye Qing sat down satisfied, then turned his head and instructed a maid named Rosin Xiang: "Rosin Xiang, take the pickles we brought out and divide them in a jar, and each person who receives the porridge will be given a spoonful." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Rosin quickly took the lead and left.

"Pickles?" Qian Junbao asked a little strangely.

"Well, there are too many cabbages and radishes at home, so I asked people to make some kimchi, and I plan to give them to the people who receive the porridge to taste."

Qian Junbao had a keen mind, and quickly understood Ye Qing's intentions, and squeezed one of her hands with a smile and said, "Actually, it's okay if the white porridge can't be finished." ”

Ye Qing nodded, his eyes were clear, his lips were smiling, and he held his fingers back and said, "I know, in fact, this kimchi is the first time I have made it in large quantities, I want to see how well everyone accepts these kimchi."

If everyone likes it, you can put some in the pickled vegetable shop and sell it. It can also be used as a side dish for people in the house in the future, do you say that you kill two birds with one stone".

Qian Junbao didn't think much about it, and joked with a smile: "The food made by the lady, how can anyone not like it."

Maybe those of you who have eaten the kimchi you made today will think that we have too little white porridge. ”

After speaking, he began to play with her fingers, Ye Qing has lost a lot of weight this month, and the fingers that were originally as round as small white radishes are now slowly developing in the direction of the tips of bamboo shoots.

Because her skin was already fair and delicate, and her fingers looked particularly good after losing weight, Qian Junbao couldn't help but touch the back of Ye Qing's hand again, and she couldn't put it down.

Ye Qing was slightly hot behind his ears by his actions, his face was calm, and he asked with a smile: "Today is your birthday, what do you want to eat at noon?" ”

Qian Junbao let go of Ye Qing's hand, fanned her and said, "At noon, we may not be able to go back." After you go back in the afternoon, you can cook some dishes in the evening, and when my master comes, we will eat again. ”

Since today is his birthday, Mo Ce has already discussed with him, and he will not show up at night today.

Finally, I can accompany my mother all day.

Ye Qing looked at Qian Junbao with a smile on his face and asked, "When will your master arrive?" ”

Qian Junbao fanned himself and said: "In the morning, I received a flying pigeon from Master, and he will arrive in the evening. ”

Ye Qing blinked, "Then I'll prepare a few more dishes and snacks in the afternoon, by the way, does your master like to eat snacks?" ”

Qian Junbao thought for a while and said, "He likes to eat Dingsheng cake and lotus cake." ”

Ye Qing curled the corners of his lips and said, "Your master must love to drink Longjing tea, right?" ”

"Huh, how do you know?" Qian Junbao put away the folding fan and asked.

"Both of these things are refreshments, and they are the best with West Lake Longjing."

Ye Qing smiled at Qian Junbao with a smile in his eyes.

"Lady, will you do this?"

Ye Qing's dark and bright eyes immediately smiled and said, "Naturally, I know it, and I'm very good at it." Have you forgotten what my mother used to do?! ”

"Well, that's hard work." Qian Junbao opened the folding fan, fanned her diligently, and said: "It's just that the weather is really hot today, and you have to accompany me here after you are bitter." ”

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Fortunately, compared to the stove in Jianzhou, this bit of heat can still stand it."

But when you say that, I think we have another ice shop. Wait, I'll go to the ice shop and get some ice crystals and freezing points. ”

"It's fine." In fact, he has the internal force of the fifth Mo Che in his body, and he can't feel the heat at all, but Ye Qing has more flesh on his body, and he doesn't have the internal force of ice, so he must be afraid of heat.

If it weren't for the fact that their martial arts were not suitable for Ye Qing's cultivation, he would have wanted to teach them to Ye Qing.

After a while, Ye Qing took the two servants and went towards the ice shop, he hadn't been there for a few days, and he happened to go over to see the business situation over there.

She had just left when there was a commotion outside.

"The white porridge in this porridge shed is good, it looks white and thick, and it tastes like rice, and you can tell that it is good rice at a glance."

"Don't say it, although their family makes white rice porridge, the sour and spicy cabbage and radish they send are really delicious, and I want to eat a bite after eating it."

"No, it's almost noon, and I'm hungry, and I've just finished a bowl of porridge with the cabbage and radish.

If it weren't for the fact that one person could only get one bowl, I would have been able to eat another big bowl of porridge. ”

"This is the porridge shed of Qianfu, they are the first time to give porridge, it is really good to be able to make it like this! I made a note that I will come to his house for porridge next year. ”

Someone smashed it and said: "Radishes and cabbage are crispy and spicy, and sweet and sour, this is the first time I have eaten such cabbage and radish, it's really delicious!"

It's a pity that there is only one small spoon per person. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Ye Qing, the hostess of this Qian Mansion, seems to be the one who won the second place in the Tianxueju cooking competition last time?

She couldn't have made this little dish, right? ”

"It must be true, I saw her just now."

"No wonder it's so delicious."

"You still don't know, that Ye Qing has changed a lot now, I heard that she is still a disciple of the Medicine King.

You say that their simple white porridge is not so simple? Perhaps, eating it is good for the body. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Someone agreed.

A person next to him rolled his eyes and said, "No, while there are not many people in line now, I will quickly call everyone in my family here to get porridge and side dishes to eat." ”

Someone soon chimed in: "That's right, my house is very close to here, I'll go home and get the bowl!" ”

"Eh, Sanniu, you stand here and help me line up, I'll be back soon." Someone called for his little sister to line up for him.

Then he turned and ran towards the neighborhood, where he was going to call the rest of his younger siblings to line up.

“…… Wait for me! ”

"
