Chapter 140: Snowflake Chicken
Mai Fenghui also saw her and smiled slightly.
Almost instantly, Ren Yan recognized him as a gentleman standing on the verandah that night, wearing a soapy robe, quietly appearing, creepy.
He had a knife in his sleeve.
The wooden handle is triangular and pointed, the length of the palm is short, but three or two heavy, deboned and cut the flesh, and the blade is sharp.
She is most familiar with all kinds of knives, and she already knows how powerful they are at a glance; Now the people sitting in the hall are all important people, and no matter which goal it is, the consequences are unimaginable.
She was afraid that Mai Fenghui's target was Gu Tingwen, and she was also afraid that it was someone else.
In the casual conversation and laughter, only she got up abruptly, she wanted to block Mai Fenghui, before everything happened.
Under what pretext?
Drunk and left the table, he accidentally knocked over the snowflake chicken so that he didn't have any chance to get close to the feast.
Good!
Ren Yan took her skirt and wanted to stand up-
Gu Tingwen quickly held her arm: "Rouge, sit down." β
He was a man of letters, but first and foremost a gentleman, so strong that she couldn't resist it, and the soles of his feet were like wedges of nails, firmly anchoring her in the seat.
"Tingwen, listen to me......" She grabbed his wrist in a panic, begging him to let her go.
"Ren Yan, don't move around!"
He seldom called her by her name, and now he was somewhat serious, and unquestionable, almost half-hugging and half-hugging her by his side.
Is it knowing what to expect?
She turned her head to look at him, Gu Tingwen's eyes were pitch black, and there were wisps of mockery.
On the stage, "An Tianhui" was being sung, and the mighty and domineering Monkey King called the fairy Lao Eryu to guard the imperial horse prison, and in a fit of anger, the sky fell apart, and the sand and stones were scattered, and the four King Kongs were picked, and then the pipa was raised to beat the prince of the King of Tota.
The sword and gun dance in the Qiankun circle won the applause of the upper and lower ones.
He Quanji had a very good eye, and immediately asked someone to carry the bamboo basket to the stage, and the gold, silver, pearls, and jade and the bright silver dollars flew to the stage with all their strength.
Hearing the sound of silver, the horn worked harder, and the face of the play was proud, and the host and guest were naturally happy.
In the boiling laughter, Mai Fenghui finally approached, holding a plate of snowflakes in his hand, stacked like frost and snow, and like clouds rolling in the sky, soft and peaceful.
Mr. Xu on the first seat spoke first: "Looking at the posture of Qionghua Meirui, it is a meaning, but how can it be said that it is Ji Nao?" β
Mai Fenghui held the plate steadily, and replied in a low voice: "It is the chicken sprouts of the old hen with a white and tender texture, so that the back of the knife is smashed into a mushroom, and at the same time, you need to use a sharp knife to clean the fascia and knead it loosely before you can serve the vegetable soup." β
Mr. Xu listened interestingly and asked him to talk a little more.
Mai Fenghui was articulate and unhurried: "The loose buds, the cold chicken soup with seven taels of seven taels are slowly dispersed in three or five times, and they must be slow and soft, so that the broken tendons can be easily rushed out again, so that they can become the prototype of Nao." β
Mix a few egg whites, two spoonfuls of potato flour and spices, and stir into a paste in one place.
Because it is Sichuan cuisine, the salt in the material is the well salt of Sichuan, and the deep well salt is boiled out of the delicate salt grains of white flowers, which are loose and not astringent, and it is most suitable for stir-frying meat and fishy meat.
After mixing the chicken pulp, you have to wait for the hot pot to be hot, the oil refining is too hot, and the oil temperature can not be too large, so that the chicken can be fried softly until it is loose, white and tender like clouds.
At this time, there is snow falling outside, and it is taboo to be white inside and out, so a plate of snowflake chicken Nao takes the Tianmu porcelain plate to support the bottom, and the red plum is bordered. Light makeup and heavy makeup, both color and taste.
"What a snowflake chicken!"
Mr. Xu nodded in approval, Mai Fenghui smiled and bowed, turned around and brought the black porcelain plate to Gu Tingwen.
Ren Yan's heart was about to burst out of the cavity for a moment.
There is no good banquet, there are no good people, no matter who Mai Fenghui is against, I am afraid that this dish will not be eaten easily.
But the Gu family is the master and the junior, whether it is out of politeness or caution, the first pair of chopsticks is ordered by Gu Tingwen, and he tries the dishes to be suspicious.
He Quan stepped forward with a new silver spoon, Gu Tingwen took it, and scooped the vegetables with his eyes down-
The cold light finally had a chance to take advantage of it, rushing from the sleeve of his coat, piercing his eyelids and almost shaving off the broken hair on Gu Tingwen's forehead.
Then Mai Fenghui's wrist told people to stop, looking at him who knew kung fu, and wanted to struggle and compare, but in three or two strokes, He Quan unloaded his strength and stepped firmly under the soles of his leather shoes.
He Quan was silent, but there was a sound in his palm, and he resisted Mai Fenghui's vital point to death. But in the blink of an eye, the situation was under control.
Gu Tingwen put down the spoon, and Yun smiled lightly: "The taste is acceptable, Uncle Xu taste it?" β
Mr. Xu didn't seem to see the change, and waved his hand lovingly: "That's it, just to be pleasing to the eye." β
"Laugh."
Someone came to remove the dishes, and the guests in the banquet watched the play one after another, talking and laughing.
Mai Fenghui tossed for so long, and he didn't even make a splash, so he made people press to the bottom of the water, and when he went, he was estimated to disappear!
Ren Yan withdrew his gaze.
Gu Tingwen was looking at her: "Don't be afraid. β
Her palms were covered with sweat, and he took a hot towel and wiped her slowly, as if he had some kind of fun, and occasionally scratched her palm.
Ren Yan asked: "I know that he has an enmity with you, and you still want him to enter the Hongpheasant Hall?" β
Gu Tingwen smiled: "Family feuds must be avenged." β
"You, what's wrong with him?"
Gu Tingwen looked like he was about to laugh or not: "Rouge is so unreasonable, obviously he wants to kill me." β
Ren Yan's uneasy mind made him shake it clean three or two times: "There must always be a cause and effect!" β
"I killed his father, in Shanghai, that's when you were thinking about me."
Ren Yan frowned, and just about to ask something, he saw that Du Liren led the apprentice and the new dish again, this time it was Dao Su Xuan.
Perhaps the guests present have long admired the reputation of Hongpheasant Hall, perhaps because of a silent farce just now, lack of interest, and there is no shortage of people who are unwilling to move chopsticks, which makes Du Liren sit still.
When someone saw him like this, they couldn't help but think of gossip, and laughed at his competition with Ren Yan, and they didn't know what kind of ideas they had.
Du Liren always looked modest and considerate in front of people: "Xiao Yan is my nephew after all, a child's joke, are you still serious, Director?" β
It was lively here, Mr. Xu's eyes turned from the stage and asked Gu Tingwen: "What are you talking about, so happy, tell me about it?" β
"It's just a matter of Master Du and Master Ren learning another day."
The old man loves to be lively, so he smiled: "Good thing, young phoenix and old phoenix, let the eldest girl work hard, don't be afraid of not being green!" β
In this way, it can be regarded as a real set of things.
The happiest thing is Du Liren, who turned his face and smiled: "Xiao Yan, the master and you obeyed the kindness of the officials?" β
"Yes." Ren Yan smiled and bowed.
"I will try five games with you, the first refreshment and the second beet, three in the time, one clear soup swallow vegetables, one soup yellow croaker, and the rest will make their own tricks?"
Clear soup and swallow vegetables are Du Liren's porcelain work, arching his reputation for sitting at the top of the list over the years; Not to mention the yellow croaker in the soup, Rao is a masterpiece that the master can't easily undertake, but the little girl is only a tricky age.
He forced her to a dead end, because he wanted her to retreat in the face of difficulties, and from then on clamped her tail and whispered to be a man; Or do the so-called ignorant posture of courage and indomitability, recklessly and arrogantly so that there is no place for you to die.
But she mentioned it first, not to mention that it was also for the grievances of these days and the trumped-up charges of the female chef, she had to accept it. Teach him a lesson: In addition to cooking, don't go to the street with a stick and a knife!
Ren Yan still smiled: "Yes, they all listen to the orders of the uncle." β
Everyone, young and old, always has a soft spot for comparison; Although I can't see the real knife and real gun, I was vaguely aroused by the sword light and sword shadow, and I pushed the cup to change the sheng song.
Ren Yan had something in his heart, and it was difficult to sit still, so it was easy to send off the guests after the banquet, and it was almost the middle of the moon.
She trotted all the way to the inner house with her skirt, and when she saw He Quan on the way, she asked Mai Fenghui about his whereabouts.
"Miss Ren, you also asked about this, it's nothing good." The young man frowned and had a long face.
"Is the man dead?"
He Quan sighed, but gestured: "Come with me." β
I walked around into Gu Tingwen's study, and the last time she didn't go into the room where she listened to the wall at the door. He Quan bypassed the Bogu shelf, pushed open the blue gauze cabinet at the back, and instructed the girl to lay out two pillows and a thin blanket.
"Miss sit here for a while, and the seventh master will come after sending off the guests in a while."
Through the window inlaid with crystal glass, the scene outside is not clear, only that Gu Ting heard it after half an hour, and followed by a gentleman, she listened to the sound like Mai Fenghui in the Pheasant Hall.
"Your brother has finally come to me."
Mai Fenghui lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, and his body trembled: "Let the seventh master punish him." β
"You don't want to be forgiven."
Mai Fenghui sighed softly: "Grandma left that house with me and my brother very young, and I almost forgot what he looked like, but my brother was reluctant to let him visit, and often went to visit quietly, so that Grandma didn't know." β
Ren Yan listened carefully, and only then did he know that the father of the Mai Fenghui brothers was a gambler, and in addition to beating and scolding his wife and children, he asked his wife to go out and sell his body without money, and he also had to give his brother's body to an official who had quirks.
Mrs. Mai ran away with her child, and the eldest son couldn't give up his father, so he quietly stole silver to supplement him; In the long run, the father and son became closer.
Mai's father gave up his wife and children for the sake of the son, and when he was old, he didn't think about it, so he got into a big smoke; Without any progress, he relied on his cleverness to be a crushing reminder and a hand for the assassination of people with lofty ideals.
Shanghai's meeting called Gu Tingwen to collide, saved Xiao Tong, ended Mai's father, and formed a feud with Mai's son.
Mai Fenghui didn't know until he entered Gu's mansion that his brother had been hiding in Beijing, and he didn't let Gu Tingwen know, but someone helped him; As for who it was, he was afraid of getting into trouble.
Now, it's all over the place.
He smiled: "The seventh master won't kill me?" β
"You're you."
Mai Fenghui was silent for a long time: "When the seventh master asked me to come to Beijing, was it because he valued my cooking skills?" β
"Fifty percent." All that remains is to lure the snake out of the hole.
He was satisfied: "Enough." β
Gu Tingwen put down the bowl: "Go collect the body." β
"Yes."
"What does the Seventh Master do with me?"
"Do you want to stay in Beijing?"
"Yes."
Gu Tingwen thought for a while: "My fiancΓ©e is short of manpower, you stay by her side, you need to have no name and no surname from now on, and you can't show people anymore." β
Mai Fenghui's hand shook, but he still agreed: "...... Be. β
As for Xiao Mei...... he didn't continue the topic.
When people left, Gu Tingwen pushed the door into the blue yarn cabinet and tucked a blanket for Ren Yan: "Why don't you go back to the house?" β
She was puzzled: "He has a father's enmity with you!" β
"There is no doubt about employing people."
He leaned over, traced her eyebrows carefully, and then kissed down: "This is Beijing City, don't be afraid!" β
