Chapter Eighty-Six: The Crown Prince Arrives 2
Su Li happily went to the inner kitchen with the coffee to find the powerful eunuch to grind the coffee beans into fine powder with a new pepper mill, took the coffee powder, and thought for a long time to boil goat's milk to remove the smell in his small kitchen, and then filled some white sugar in a small tea bowl.
Let people bring these miscellaneous things into the upper room, and the people in the room were startled, and finally sent a small carbon stove, and the small copper kettle spit hot air urgently.
The Ulanala clan had a headache, "Li'er, what are you doing?" ”
"Make coffee!" She took it for granted, joking, in modern times she recognized that coffee was made well, but now there was no siphon pot, no Italian pressure kettle, not even the simplest drip pot, so she had to drip it manually. First, give the prince two butter salty biscuits to serve with coffee; Served to Yinzhen but gave a small piece of apple pie, she let people bake it for Yinzhen as a snack at noon, with ginger ****; The one for Fujin is also apple pie, but it is accompanied by a thick milk tea.
After the snacks were distributed, she sat down on the edge of the stove, carefully placed the coffee powder on a new filter cloth and drizzled it with boiling water, and followed it with a small tea bowl underneath. The room soon filled with a strong aroma of coffee, and Yinzhen noticed that Su Li was also very particular about the place where he put the small tea bowl, just on the edge of the small stove, as if he was afraid that the coffee juice poured on him would cool. Su Li did it very seriously, the boiling water was poured very slowly, the coffee powder swelled under the soaking of the boiling water, and some foam slowly burst with the juice filtered, at this time, Su Li would add water again, and the coffee powder would surge again, so after a few times, most of the bowl was filtered in the small tea bowl, Su Li stopped, put the coffee in front of the prince with both hands, opened the tea bowl and sugar bowl filled with goat's milk, and put the small silver spoon on the side.
"Coffee is a self-flavored drink, the prince please." It's a pity to look at the tea bowl, "There is a special cup for coffee, you can order it first, and someone will burn a set for you in a few days." ”
"You don't drink?" The prince didn't move, he just knew Su Li's actions, and he couldn't help but say that the serious Su Li was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that the prince felt that the coffee was also extremely delicious.
"Li'er is ready to give birth, so she can't drink it." Su Li said very naturally, the Wulanala clan couldn't help but choke on her own saliva, Su Li hurriedly turned around to help her to get angry, and after a while, the Wulanala clan eased up and looked at Su Li weakly.
"I'm not ashamed!"
"The prince is the master, can the master lie when he asks?" Su Li's expression was full of innocence, and the Ulanala clan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Prince, believe it now, this girl is stupid."
The prince glanced at Su Li deeply and looked down at the coffee, "Why don't the fourth brother and Fujin drink it?" ”
"Our father has a weak stomach in the past two days, and he still eats porridge at noon, and coffee hurts his stomach; Fu Jin is afraid of hurting the skin; The coffee is actually very fragrant just like this, and the prince can taste the original flavor first. She couldn't, it seemed that this master was also the master who had to be fed, so she had to stand back in front of the prince and carefully hold the coffee to the prince. The prince took a small sip and frowned. Su Li smiled, took it, poured some goat's milk and stirred gently, watched the dark coffee turn into a light brown color, and then put two teaspoons of sugar, stirred evenly, and then handed it to the prince. The prince tasted it and nodded.
Su Li pushed the biscuits forward again, "It's best to drink this with salty biscuits, it can bring out the mellow flavor of coffee." ”
"She really knows how to eat, no wonder the brothers like to come to your house to eat." The prince looked at Yinzhen with a smile.
"It's true that she can eat, but she doesn't like to eat, and she can't eat anything after cooking in the kitchen." Yin Zhen smiled and said, "Now I won't let her do it herself, by the way, it's rare for the prince to come, why don't you eat and leave?" ”
"That's too much trouble for my brother and sister, isn't it?" The prince didn't seem to want to leave, so he pretended to excuse himself.
What else can Su Li say? I had to smile and say, "What's the matter, what does the prince like to eat, Li'er is so prepared." ”
"I'm talking stupid again, what is the prince? Of course, pick up what you're good at. The Ulanala clan learned the call for tea just now, and hurriedly shouted.
"The prince likes to eat barbecue, so let's do that!" Yin Zhen thought about it and said.
"Forget it, you can eat whatever you want."
"The prince has recently used ginseng?" Su Li thought about it and asked carefully.
The prince was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Recently, my body has been weak and hot, and I am using ginseng soup, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, what we prepared for our father today is radish and fish soup, which is in conflict with ginseng soup, Li'er should give the prince a barbecue to eat!" Su Li asked people to collect their things and retreat to prepare.
The prince silently looked at her disappearing figure and smiled softly, and after a while he muttered to himself, "It seems that I really forgot!" You can't live so happily without the past, right? ”
Yin Zhen and his wife glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer, thinking about it in the end, they didn't hear it.
Dinner is still in Su Li's house, Yinzhen's fish soup is cooked as fragrant as milk, on one side is the thin shredded radish cut by Su Li in front of everyone, and as soon as the soup opens, Su Li carefully put the shredded radish in a small bowl, and then put some coriander and a drop of balsamic vinegar before putting it in front of Yinzhen.
There is also a small stove on the side of the small table, the thick iron plate is burned hot, Su Li is busy with Yinzhen's soup, then try the heat of the iron plate, the afternoon with a wooden hammer hammer, pickled thick beef slices gently put on the iron rice, 'squeak', the room is filled with the aroma of barbecue, she roasted the beef until medium rare, gently divided it into small pieces with a quick knife, sealed the gravy, put it on the small plate, and then poured the black walnut juice that had been mixed first. Su Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the steak is made like herself, and customers who go out to open a store can't squeeze the door?
"Do you put your brother and sister in front of others what they do?" The prince looked at the piece of meat in front of him and couldn't help laughing. He was roasting whole cattle and sheep when he went out hunting with the old man, such a delicate piece of small meat is very rare, but it is still roasted in front of him, and after tasting a piece, the meat melts in the mouth, the meat juice is fragrant, and it really doesn't look like it is roasted. I can't help but boast.
"It's just a coincidence, if the radish is not freshly cut, it will dry out, the taste will become hard, and the soup will not be fresh." After Su Li finished grilling the meat, she was returning to the table and took a piece of radish and cut the slightly dry skin around it, and when she was cutting it into thin strips, she replied casually, she didn't realize that the prince was asking about steak, not the fish soup she was concentrating on.
This is a Japanese method, Su Li once saw the old lady in a Japanese drama cook this fish soup, she didn't know how it tasted, but she was extremely amazed by the thin shredded radish, and the food sometimes made in front of the diners would make people more appetizing.
Yin Zhen didn't eat anything except porridge and a small piece of snack in the afternoon, looking at the prince's steak meat was a little greedy, in fact, he didn't like to eat meat, but in the past few days, people have been empty, and there is really no oil and water in the stomach, looking at the oily, fat and tender steak is really attractive, but Su Li still put the soup in front of him, "Don't eat anything else at night, I'm afraid I can't stand it." ”
Yinzhen was helpless, and silently scooped up the shredded radish in the bowl and ate it.
The prince silently chewed the tender steak but tasted the same as chewing wax, and from the question and answer just now, he also knew that Su Li didn't treat himself as the same thing at all, and he could also see that the relationship between her and Yinzhen was deep, which was not something that could be pretended. Because Yinzhen knew that Su Li was for his good, he also acquiesced to Su Li's control, and there were groups of wives and concubines in his house, but had anyone really done this to him? Thinking about it, she couldn't help but glance at Su Li again, she carefully paid attention to the table, and recommended new dishes for herself from time to time, but the corner of her eyes glanced at Yinzhen from time to time, paying attention to everything about him, as if she was afraid that he would steal food, this should be intimacy, right? He sighed secretly in his heart, and began to regret that he had made this trip today.
