Chapter 035: Ejiao Black Chicken Soup (3)
After all the broken bones were healed, Xing Ruyi took out some plant rhizomes the thickness of a little thumb from the small bag he carried with him and handed them to Chang Tai: "Trouble Brother Chang to mess these into mud and apply them to Granny Zhang and the little bleeding place, if nothing else, these bloods will stop later." In addition, there is this, and it is also troublesome for Brother Chang to fry it into water for Granny Zhang to drink. She is old and hurts her back, and if she doesn't treat it in time, I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of bed in the future. ”
"Brother Chang is going to pound medicine, I'll do this decoction of water." Xiaoxiao limped over and took away the strange thing that looked like animal hair in Xing Ruyi's hand.
"Your legs ......"
"My legs are fine" Xiao Xiao smiled shyly: "Sister Ruyi is tired, sit down first, and bring tea to my sister later." Seeing that Xiaoxiao was so sensible, Xing Ruyi couldn't say anything, and when she saw the two of them going out one after the other, she leaned on the head of the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
The footsteps were like dry thunder in late autumn, and the ears of the people who shook them hurt, and Xing Ruyi couldn't open his eyes, so he heard a painful snort from Granny Zhang, followed by Zhang Wuran's vicious voice: "What about Xiaoxiao? Where did you dead old woman hide that stinky girl for me? ”
"Scoundrel Zhang!" Xing Ruyi frowned, and the name blurted out.
"Scoundrel Zhang, this name is really apt." The sound of pretending to come from the door, followed by a choking incense, followed by a bright red and green shirt.
It is the stamen of Baiyan Building. I heard it
Zhang Scoundrel, who still had no reaction to the three words "Zhang Scoundrel", after the choking sound of the flower stamen's yin and yang, Zhang Scoundrel suddenly pounced on Xing Ruyi, grabbed her clothes with one hand and pulled her up from the bed.
"What did you just call me? It's kind of saying those three words again. ”
"What if there is a kind, what if there is no seed, Zhang scoundrel, Zhang scoundrel, who in Luoyang City doesn't know that you Zhang Donkey is a veritable scoundrel!" Xing Ruyi said word by word, not caring at all about the hand that Zhang Wulai was holding her.
It is said that when Zhang Wulai was born, the donkey raised by the family first barked and cried after Zhang Wuran. At that time, the Zhang family still lived in the countryside, and the children in the countryside always felt that it was easy to feed them with a cheap life, and when the child was born, the donkey barked, so Zhang Wuran's name was called Zhang Donkey.
After the death of Zhang's scoundrel's father, he followed Zhang's mother-in-law into the city and felt that Zhang Donkey was unpleasant, so he changed his name to Zhang Cheng, which means that he has achieved fame.
This name is out, but it's just a name, and compared to his original name Zhang Donkey, everyone prefers to call him Zhang Scoundrel.
Originally, a scoundrel Zhang annoyed him, but now he heard Xing Ruyi call him Zhang Donkey, so he became angry, clenched his left hand into a fist, and waved it towards Xing Ruyi's face.
"I'll let you scream, wait for the master to beat your teeth to pieces, and see how you scream!" Zhang Wuli was furious, and his face was red.
"Hee-hee." Hua Rui smiled and leaned back: "I like you to see and beat women, especially women who are as beautiful as me, beat, give me a hard slap in her face." What is the shopkeeper of Ruyi Fang, I'm not also a door-to-door welcomer. Zhang Wurou's punch was swung over, but it was empty, he stared at his hand in a daze, but saw Xing Ruyi standing elsewhere with a cold face.
Stamen rubbed her eyes, gurgling in her throat, and her face was full of disbelief.
"Since you don't know how to be human, let's start by being a beast." Xing Ruyi waved his right hand fiercely, Zhang Wuran was gone, and the stamen was gone, but there was an inexplicable donkey and a chicken in the yard.
The donkey snorted, and the hen clucked and stretched her neck. Granny Zhang looked at Xing Ruyi, then looked out the window, and muttered: "Nightmare, nightmare!" Xing Ruyi didn't speak, but just waved her hand lightly, letting Granny Zhang fall asleep.
When Chang Tai and Xiaoxiao came back, Xing Ruyi was still leaning on the head of the bed and pretending to sleep.
"It's strange, why is there an extra donkey and a chicken in our yard, and the color of the chicken is so strange, jet black." Xiao Xiao said as she put the soup in her hand on the table.
Chang Tai also felt strange, but he didn't have time to think about it at this time, it was important to give Granny Zhang and Xiaoxiao medicine. Xing Ruyi opened his eyes and stretched his waist comfortably.
Ignoring the indecency, Chang Tai turned his face away, lowered his head and hurriedly gave Granny Zhang medicine.
"Oh, I bought the donkey and the chicken, and now that you and your mother-in-law's home is gone, and your savings have been emptied, you have to do something else to get by."
"But I won't do anything." Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip, feeling that she was useless, she couldn't take care of her mother, and she couldn't protect her mother.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you're willing to learn." Xing Ruyi touched his little head, and pointed to the donkey and chicken outside,
"See? How strong that donkey is, let Brother Chang take him to Ji Shengtang later, and let people boil it into Ejiao. The chicken is called the black chicken, the meat is delicious, it can be used to make soup, just sell a good rooster to match with it, it will inevitably lay a few eggs, this egg can be a chick, the chick can grow up and lay eggs, and so on. Also, I will teach you to make a few signature dishes, and the main ingredient is Ejiao, remember that we only sell this dish to the rich and noble. Then teach you some ordinary side dishes, which are cheap and beautiful and can be sold to ordinary people to eat. As long as you are little diligent and diligent, your life with your mother will not be much worse, believe in my sister. Little clenched his fists and nodded vigorously, and the donkey in the yard crowed louder, while the chicken curled up in a ball and no longer clucked and clucked.
The first dish that Xing Ruyi taught Xiaoxiao to make was called Ejiao Black Chicken Soup, which was made by using high-quality black chicken (oh, the one in the yard) and Ejiao (that is, the donkey in the yard), plus lean meat, red dates, longan, ginger, salt, etc.
First wash the black chicken and lean meat and cut it into small pieces, then remove the core of the red dates, and wash the longan. First, remove the blood stains of chicken and lean meat through water, put black chicken, ejiao, lean meat, red dates, longan, and ginger slices into the stew pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and simmer for an hour through water, that is, the aroma is fragrant and appetizing.
On the day the Zhang's small restaurant opened, it was crowded, but this customer at the table was a small trafficker who paid for it.
The man was small, with a wisp of rat's whiskers, and eyes the size of mung beans shimmered with a shrewd glow unique to a merchant.
As soon as the trafficker sat down, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but get nervous. Xing Ruyi patted her on the shoulder, and Ying Ying smiled and walked towards the trafficker.
"What is this distinguished guest called?"
"The surname is Shu, the name is Ke, and the boss can call me Lao Shu." Shook? Rat? Mouse...... Xing Ruyi stared at the boss's eyes the size of mung beans, and groups of rats suddenly flashed in his mind.
