Yu Xiaocao, who was making "honey abalone", shouted at him angrily: "If you want to eat it, you won't pick it?" ”

Today, the king of Yangjun saw the abalone drying in their courtyard, so he casually ordered the dish "honey abalone". Yu Xiaocao finally had the opportunity to go to sea next time and help Wednesday prepare for the share of tribute that needs to be paid next month. was beaten back to the pre-liberation period by him with a word...... It seems that there will be another sea in the past two days!

The Liu family, who helped to help, hurriedly glared at her and whispered: "After all, people are the princes of the county, relatives of the emperor and the country, and they can't kick their noses in the face because they have a good temper." Regardless of his identity, the visitor is a guest, and the host tries to meet any requirements of the guest, which is the way of hospitality. ”

After teaching his daughter a few words, Liu Shi stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, stood up, walked to the kitchen door, and said to the king of Yangjun: "Our grass children have a child's temper, and she generally knows you and others." I'll pick ...... for you."

Zhu Junyang was also full of curiosity about the vegetable patch in the backyard, he put down the cup, stood up slowly, and said to Liu: "No, Ye is idle and has nothing to do, go to the backyard to have a look." Go get busy! ”

Coming out of the capital this time, Zhu Junyang came by the emperor's order and could stay until the corn and potatoes were ripe, so the manager Liu, who was waiting for him, also came. What is called personal service, of course, is where the master is, he must be there.

"Master, it's still an old slave to pick it up!" Although the prince of his own county still maintained his only expression, that is, there was no expression, but from his tone, Manager Liu heard the master's politeness to the Liu family.

His own master has always been unapologetic to people, even those so-called noble ladies in Beijing, and there has never been an exception. The Liu family is just a country woman, why did the county king make an exception for her? In the past few days, Manager Liu has observed, not only the Liu family, but also the Yu family, how can they make the master treat each other differently?

Could it be that Yu Hai saved the master's life? That's not right! Before the king of the county went to sea, he met the Yu family at the dock, and he was still cold and ruthless at that time. Could it be that the Yu family shared the worries of the master and was able to grow corn and potatoes? The master's subordinates have more capable generals, and they have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but they have not gotten a good job from the master's mouth? What kind of ecstasy soup did this Yu family pour into the master?

Mr. Liu was puzzled, and his master had already passed through the round gate in the backyard and came to a more open vegetable field.

Unlike the front yard, which is mostly planted with leafy greens, the backyard has more abundant vegetables. The wall is full of loofahs with yellow flowers; Rows of bamboo trellises are lined with long beans, emerald green cucumbers, tender gourds, and golden pumpkins...... In the neatly planned vegetable patch, the purple eggplant shimmers mysteriously in the sunlight, the spiky peppers are green and red hanging all over the branches, and the tomatoes are like small lanterns poking out their little heads in the leaves, full of the joy of a good harvest.

Seeing that his master's cold and hard breath gradually warmed up, Mr. Liu was quite relieved, it seems that the master has a relationship with the idyllic scenery, maybe after staying here for a long time, the master will slowly change back to the carefree little master when he was a child......

When Manager Liu was so moved that his nose was sour, Zhu Junyang had already picked a tender cucumber from the cucumber rack, wiped off the small thorns on it with his hands, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with a click.

When Mr. Liu saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, the old slave will help you wash and eat again!" ”

"No, that's how I ate that little grass last time I saw it!" Zhu Junyang took another bite, and the crisp and tender cucumber juice was very sufficient, which was both refreshing and thirst-quenching.

Manager Liu secretly said in his heart: That little girl is used to living in the countryside, and it is nothing to eat unclean things. Master, you are delicate and expensive, if you eat bad stomach, what should you do?

At this time, Zhu Junyang came to the tomato field again, searched carefully, and finally found a red and bright tomato under a cluster of relatively dense leaves. The Yu family's vegetables are not worried, and many horse-drawn carts come to buy them every day. Tomatoes can be eaten raw as well as cooked, making them one of the favorite vegetables for the town's wealthy families. It is relatively lucky to be able to find one or two fish from the vegetable patch.

Zhu Junyang couldn't care about the new shoes under his feet, and was soiled by the freshly watered soil, and with a great sense of accomplishment, he found five ripe tomatoes in the tomato field. He came back from the backyard contented, nibbling on a tomato in his mouth and the rest in his clothes, looking very down-to-earth.

He stomped on the soil stuck to his feet, and instead of sitting down at the stone table, he stomped to the kitchen door and said to Yu Xiaocao, who was busy inside: "Yu Xiaocao, I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes!" ”

Yu Xiaocao, who was struggling with the honey abalone, tried to mix the sauce over and over again as if she hadn't heard it. Yu Xiaocao is not omnipotent, some home-cooked dishes, she made a lot in her previous life, and she has some talent in cooking, and she naturally tastes good. But abalone is such a precious thing, her home in her previous life was not near the sea, and she really hasn't seen it much, let alone cooked it.

Fortunately, the current chef of Zhen Yu Lou, that is, Yang Feng, Chef Wang's apprentice, once made honey abalone in front of her. She watched from the side, it wasn't too difficult, why was it not like that when it came to her hands?

"Yu Xiaocao, is the master talking to you, are you deaf or dumb?" Since further contact with the Yu family, Zhu Junyang has become more and more unkind to Yu Xiaocao. In the past, I politely called "Miss Yu", but now it's good, I don't say it by my name, it's like calling my own girl, either let me do it, but let me do that. Yu Xiaocao was almost annoyed to death by him!

"Not deaf or dumb! You can't be distracted when cooking, so as not to make the dish Xiaojun Wang you can't eat! Little county king, stay where you want! Yu Xiaocao also figured out the temper of the little county king, he looked cool, but he was not so high-minded, and he was not like a bad temper. At least I've been in contact with him so many times, and I've never seen him really lose his temper. Yu Xiaocao, who doesn't have much class consciousness, becomes more and more polite when she speaks.

The Liu family and the rest of the Yu family can pinch a cold sweat for her from time to time. The prince of the county looks young, but he is not the kind of person who is easy to get along, if he angers the prince of the county, he will be killed at the slightest beating, isn't it all like this in the play? My youngest daughter, why is she so bold, challenging the bottom line of the county prince again and again.

Zhu Junyang was not only not angry, but also made a rare joke: "Master thinks the kitchen is good, it's good to stay here!" ”

Manager Liu was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground and hit his feet. This...... Is this still the cold-faced king who can scare children into crying because no one is allowed to enter? When did you change the character design?

Yu Xiaocao was also speechless: "Okay, if you are not afraid of being smoked, you can stay as long as you want!" ”

When Zhu Junyang watched her pour out the prepared sauce for the third time, he couldn't help but say, "It turns out that there are also dishes that you don't know how to cook!" In fact, the master is not so picky, when he was on the boat, he ate raw fish. Don't be so nervous, just cook it, you don't dislike you for making it unpalatable! ”

In fact, I don't want her to try again and again, and face failure over and over again, but if she says it, why is she so badly beaten!

Yu Xiaocao ignored him, and finally concocted the flavor she wanted. She then peeled the abalone meat, washed it, cut it with a "ten" flower knife, put it in a bowl, added egg whites and starch, grabbed it evenly, and steamed it in a pot for a few minutes. The abalone she caught was relatively large, and it took a little more steaming time to get cooked.

She washed the fresh mushrooms she found from the coral, cut them into small slices and blanched them in boiling water, added minced ginger, chopped green onions, and minced garlic and stir-fried them in oil, and then added the sauce that had just been mixed with fresh soup, salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, etc., to boil a thick sauce. Once the abalone is steamed, pour it over top. The fragrant "honey abalone" is out of the pot!

Zhu Junyang gently sniffed the fragrance wafting in the air, and praised without hesitation: "It smells quite authentic, I don't know how to eat it?" ”

Yu Xiaocao walked up to him, took the tomatoes from his hand, glanced at him, and said, "The first time I make it, I can't guarantee whether it tastes good or not, so I'll eat it!" Xiaojun Wang, our family is just an ordinary farmer, can we not order such a precious dish as abalone and sea cucumber in the future? ”

"Yo! This is crying with the lord to be poor! Your family is still an ordinary farmer, selling ten carts of vegetables every day, and seven or eight carts of watermelons are batched, which is the monthly income of the shops in the town, which is not as good as the money your family earns in a day. But after eating your abalone, I feel distressed? Stingy! In front of Yu Xiaocao, Zhu Junyang is no longer the cold-faced county king who is cold-hearted, and he will become a chatter if he is not careful! Manager Liu said that he was shocked - he wouldn't follow a fake county king, right?

Yu Xiaocao is sharp-toothed, of course she won't lose to him: "Little Junwang, we can only make money for a few days." Watermelons will be off the market in a month at most, how much money can you make just by pointing at vegetables? We little people, who rely on the sky for food, have to think about the days when we have no money when we have money! Unlike you, who come out every day to wander around, rubbing around for food, and have a lot of money. You, who are holding a golden rice bowl, how do you know the suffering of our little people! ”

Zhu Junyang knows the situation of the Yu family. When I didn't split up, I didn't have enough food and clothing, and I had to work and be scolded...... Thinking of the little girl in front of me, who was seriously ill and dying several times, a feeling of pity rose from my heart.

Zhu Junyang said softly with relief: "Don't worry! As long as the corn and potatoes are planted well, the imperial court will definitely not treat you badly!! With your family's talent in farming, I will help you say a few kind words in front of the emperor, maybe the emperor can approve you as a farmer. When the time comes, you will also be able to eat public meals and receive the court's money! ”

"Don't, don't!!" Yu Xiaocao looked frightened, as if he was some kind of flood beast, jumped a few steps to the side, and said in a loud voice, "Little County King, I know you have good intentions. But we ordinary people have no roots and no bottom, they are just petty officials, and they are also cannon fodder in the officialdom. Or is it free? ”
