Chen Qiaoqiao didn't know that her behavior at that time was a little rash, and she said embarrassedly: "Isn't this poor and crazy, if I knew that I would be entangled with this King Wu Rong from now on, I wouldn't dare" In the end, she still didn't tell Aunt Xue that King Wu Rong had an IOU, and she also kept in mind Yinhuo's warning, don't disclose this matter, even King Wu Rong himself

While talking, she had already come to the kitchen, and seeing that Wu Er's family was nervously busy, Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Xiao Yue'er doesn't know where she went, she is still thinking about your milk skin tofu, you see if you want to make one for her to taste."

Chen Qiaoqiao hadn't cooked for a long time, and her heart was itching, and she said, "Okay, I'll see if there are any ingredients."

When Wu Erjia heard this, he hurriedly said: "Of course there is tofu" Chen Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "Tofu is easy to say when the time comes, but this milk skin is not there, I don't know if I can get fresh milk."

It just so happened that this Yangzi's mother walked in and said busily, "My family's raising just happened to have a lamb cub, if Mrs. doesn't dislike it, I want Yangzi to go back and squeeze a little back."

"It's okay" Chen Qiaoqiao tilted her head and thought about it, it's a big deal to send some rice noodles to their family. [No pop-ups. "That's a good feeling, I want to learn this dessert well, and I can make it for our adults when I go back," Aunt Xue said with a smile.

"Yo, it's our house so soon," Chen Qiao smiled narrowly, "You'd better hurry up and prepare," Aunt Xue scolded with a smile.

Wu Er's family was busy, "The pot stove here is too small, Mrs. has to cook, I'm afraid it's too late."

Chen Qiaoqiao looked at it, what Wu Erjia said was not bad at all, there are only two pots on this stove, one pot for cooking and one pot for stew, there is really no vacant space.

Seeing Wu Erjia hurriedly killing and cleaning up a chicken, just waiting for the meat in the pot to be stewed, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help frowning, with such a rhythm, when will there be food

Seeing a pair of dirt in the yard, Chen Qiaoqiao had an idea and said with a smile, "Aunt Xue, I'll make a very special chicken for you to taste today, I'm afraid you've never eaten it" In Aunt Xue's surprised eyes, Chen Qiaoqiao had already smeared the chicken inside and out with salt and five-spice powder with her hands and feet, and then added ginger, shallots, garlic, onions, coriander, soy sauce, honey, and cooking wine to marinate the chicken.

Then wrap the chicken with a dumpling leaf and stuff the ginger and onion and other ingredients into the chicken's belly. It turns out that what Chen Qiaoqiao wants to make is called Hua Chicken, which is a delicacy that only appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and this is naturally not available in the Song Dynasty.

There is also a legend about the origin of the chicken. Legend has it that at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a call for Huazi at the foot of Yu Mountain in Changshu, one day even got a chicken, but there was no cooking utensils seasoning, in desperation, the chicken was slaughtered to remove the internal organs, the hair was coated with mud, the dead branches and leaves were piled into a fire, the chicken was put into the fire and roasted, the mud was dried and matured, the mud shell was knocked off, the chicken feathers came off with the shell, the aroma was overflowing, the Huazi was overjoyed, and then the chicken was swallowed up, and the bachelor Qian Muzhai who happened to live in seclusion in Yushan passed by, smelled the fragrance and tasted it, felt that the taste was unique, and went home and ordered his family to make it with a little seasoning, The taste is even more delicious. Later, this cooking method spread among the people, and everyone called this kind of cooked chicken "called Hua Chicken". Later, this practice was learned by the people in the restaurant, and the preparation method was also refined, and a variety of seasoning accessories were added, so it won the appreciation of many diners, and the reputation was far and wide, and the admirers tasted it all year round.

Chen Qiaoqiao wrapped the chicken tightly with mud, Aunt Xue couldn't stand her curiosity, "What are you doing" Chen Qiaoqiao smiled mysteriously, "You just look at it, keep it so that your tongue will fall off" As she spoke, she threw the chicken into the fire pit.

Even Wu Erjia was amazed, "Madam, this is not one of the long-lost "Eight Treasures" of the Zhou Dynasty" "Cannon Dolphin" Chen Qiaoqiao is very surprised, this Wu Er family has some insight, the preparation method of calling the chicken is similar to the "Cannon Dolphin" of one of the "Eight Treasures" of the Zhou Dynasty, "Cannon Dolphin" is to wrap the suckling pig with clay, barbecue, and then further process the dish, which is quite similar. It seems that it is really a person from a big restaurant, but it is different

Chen Qiaoqiao smiled and didn't answer, at this time, Nayangzi hurriedly came with a pot of goat's milk, "Madame, are these enough?"

Chen Qiaoqiao was overjoyed, it was so rare to see fresh milk in such an era, "enough is enough, here is enough to make a few good desserts"

Saying that, Chen Qiaoqiao began to make milk skin. In fact, the method is very simple, Chen Qiaoqiao explained to Aunt Xue while doing it, "First pour the milk into the pot and just boil, don't burn it for a long time, then you won't be able to form a milk skin, and then pour it into a large bowl, at this time, you can see a layer of wrinkled milk skin on the surface of the milk." Then take an empty bowl and put two eggs and two spoons of sugar, stir well until the sugar dissolves, of course, don't beat for too long, otherwise the eggs will be bubbled; When the milk is a little cooler, use chopsticks to puncture the milk skin, then slowly pour the milk into a large bowl with egg whites, stir well, and then slowly pour back the large bowl with the milk skin along the edge of the bowl, and you can see that the milk skin will float on its own. Finally, put the milk into the pot and steam it for about ten minutes, pierce it from the middle with chopsticks, and no milk flows out to indicate that it is all condensed. If you like it, you can also add lotus seeds and red beans to steam together, which is nutritious and a good beauty product. Milk skin tofu, just put fresh tofu in it and stew some, it has a special taste"

Aunt Xue nodded frequently, "I can't imagine that this fresh milk has such a way to eat, it's really a novelty."

Chen Qiaoqiao is quite proud, as a traverser, she has an advantage, and she knows many things that they don't know

But it was said that the children were all playing on the mountain behind the courtyard, and the people below were busy with their own work, and King Wu Rong, Wang Duo, and Xu Ziji were extremely bored, so they had to sit in one place and chat.

This King Wu Rong has a good impression of the polite Xu Ziji, knows that he is Chen Qiaoqiao's in-laws, and also knows that he is a well-known gentleman, who has taught several Jinshi, and suddenly looks at him differently, and is familiar with Xu Ziji to talk about the past and the present, but he put me aside.

Wang Duo didn't care, he had other things in his heart to worry about, it turned out that the army led by Yinhuo to crusade against Western Xia had lost a trace, and disappeared into the vast Helan Mountain, and the emperor had not been in the court for a long time for this matter, and King Wu Rong was stranded in the palace yesterday for this reason.

Wang Duo peeked at King Wu Rong, who was talking and laughing, I don't know if he told Chen Qiaoqiao about it, if Chen Qiaoqiao knew such news, how could he be so calm Wang Duo himself was also entangled in whether to tell Chen Qiaoqiao this not very good news.

It's just that I don't know what this Wu Rong Wang plans are, and what his purpose is

At this time, a burst of aroma hit, Chen Qiaoqiao hurriedly pulled out the chicken chops in the stove pit, and said to Wu Erjia: "Your dishes are almost ready, ask Qiuxiang and Dongmei to prepare, and you can also start eating."

Qiu Xiang and Dong Mei heard the call, their hands and feet were numb, and they hurriedly set up the table, but everyone didn't dare to sit with King Wu Rong and Wang Duo, and they refused to eat.

Chen Qiaoqiao had no choice but to place King Wu Rong and a few of them in the wing, and everyone relaxed a little. When Qiu Xiang brought all the meals, everyone was dumbfounded, where had they ever seen so many unique dishes

Especially Yue'er, she was indescribably excited to see the long-awaited milk skin tofu. Chen Qiaoqiao opened the chicken in the mud shell, and the house was immediately full of fragrance, the entrance was crispy and fat, and the flavor was unique. Chen Qiaoqiao gave Wu Rongwang a little to taste it, and they were also full of praise. "Mrs. Chen, how can this chicken be so delicious?"

King Wu Rong couldn't help but ask, his mouth is also tricky, but this chicken melts in the mouth, and there is a unique fragrance, which is really unstoppable Chen Qiaoqiao thought for a while, the name of this chicken is really difficult to get into the elegant hall, "This is just a dish that I made blind, it's not worth mentioning, as long as the prince thinks it can still be eaten."

Wang Duo had already eaten vaguely, "Not only can it be eaten, it is simply a treasure in the world, but the weight is a little less" Wu Rong Wang glared angrily, he was just talking to Chen Qiaoqiao, this plate was already empty, and Wang Duo was also a little sneering. Avoiding King Wu Rong's gaze as if he was about to kill, "Isn't it too delicious" Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, they were all big men, and they were actually angry for a chicken

Xu Ziji saw that the situation was delicate, so he played a round for a hundred years, "Haha, the allure of this delicious is that it is still unfinished, and it makes people haunted by dreams, so they will want to eat it for the second time, is it a prince?"

To be honest, this Xu subset doesn't feel like it's a pity, it's just the self-control of him who reads again

"It's a good family, no, it's better to call you Mr. Xu to be kind, I love to listen to you very much, don't worry, we are neighbors, and I'm afraid that if you can't eat the food I make, your share will be indispensable when you can't"

Xu Ziji was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile, Chen Qiaoqiao's bright smile made him feel warm in his heart, and she no longer called him his in-laws, and he was a little relieved

King Wu Rong and Wang Duo looked obscure, such a handsome teacher as a neighbor, this

They were competing with each other, and there was a sudden commotion outside, Qiu Xiang ran in, "Madam, no, there are a lot of people outside, fierce and vicious, I don't know what to do, I want to see Mrs. by name."
