Chapter 146: Chin Cha
Lord Qincha didn't take it to heart, and said lightly: "What delicious food can you buy for a penny?" Word of mouth is an exaggeration. β
The overseer had eaten the Yu family's braised vegetables, and although he thought it tasted good, he would not be stupid enough to refute Lord Qincha. He smiled flatteringly: "What the Lord said is true! And those ingredients are pig's head, pig water, pig blood, etc., which others don't eat. As an adult, you naturally disdain to eat those! β
"You can't say that!" Kincha-sama touched the short beard on his chin, his eyes blurred, as if he was caught in the memory of the past.
After a long time, he continued: "I think that back then, I followed my master to resist foreign enemies on the frontier, and I was besieged by the enemy army for more than ten days, not to mention the bark and grass roots, and even the soil was eaten!" I remember one time, I saw that everyone couldn't survive anymore, so I teamed up with my junior brother to infiltrate the enemy camp and steal the pig's head that people used for sacrifice. We were on the mountain, and we roasted and ate by fire. For the soldiers who have been hungry for several days, the small piece of pig's head meat that they have been allocated is even more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas that they are eating now......"
The overseer hurriedly said: "General, you are wise and martial, you have survived such a difficult time, it must be a boundless blessing!" β
Lord Qincha laughed haughtily and said, "I don't care if it's a blessing or not!" I'm so happy today, do you know why? I have finally found my master and disciple who have been lost for more than 30 years! β
"Congratulations, congratulations! That's a great thing!! "The overseer took the opportunity to make another round of sycophancy.
Lord Qincha looked at the low and simple buildings on both sides of the wharf and said, "Have you negotiated the compensation for the demolition of these sheds?" The emperor said that the construction of the port is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, but don't let the people complain! β
"The emperor loves the people like a son, and the little admiration gushes endlessly...... "The overseer is busy showing his loyalty."
Lord Qincha didn't seem to accept this, and said, "Let's say a few words less than empty words!" Do more practical work! The road to the port should be widened at least twice, and the sheds on both sides would have to be torn down! I've already brought the compensation, you can talk to the people......"
"Yes, yes! The little ones will definitely do things to your satisfaction! The overseer nodded like garlic.
Lord Qincha waved his hand, paced forward, and said, "It's not enough to satisfy me, but also to satisfy the people!" Of course, Diao Min, who sits on the ground and starts the price, can't tolerate him! Li Li, you assisted ...... in this matter."
"The little surname is Liang!" The overseer nodded and smiled.
"Hmmm! You assist Supervisor Liang to do it! Visiting the docks, Chincha-sama walked slowly toward the sea.
In places where braised vegetables are sold, the queue is gradually thinning. Lord Qincha took another subordinate and unconsciously came to Lao Liutou's noodle stall.
Old Liu Tou and his wife, when they saw the official uniform on him, were so frightened that they couldn't speak.
"Don't be afraid, old man! I see that your business is good, and I want to buy a bowl of noodles to try it......" Facing the silent old man, Lord Qincha tried his best to make his rugged face easy-going. The result is the opposite effect, squeezing out a smiling face, the more hideous.
"Huh? You're not...... Aren't you Brother Han's master?! Looking at the team of only four or five people left, Xiaocao was finally able to take a breath. Hearing a familiar voice, she turned her head to look. Hertz! This forty-year-old man wearing a unicorn official uniform is a house town that he met in Fucheng. How did he get to the docks? Still wearing a public uniform?
Lord Qincha's house looked at it calmly, huh? Isn't this the youngest daughter of a brother and sister? That little girl named Xiaocao. Look again, oops! Isn't it that he was dazzled, and two Yu Xiaocao actually appeared in front of him......
"Your Excellency, you're not dazzled! They should be twins! It turned out that the house town unconsciously spoke to himself the doubts in his heart.
House Town glanced at the copper pot in front of them, bubbling inside, and the rich fragrance kept overflowing. He laughed and said, "Little grass! It turns out that the famous penny braised vegetables on the dock are your family's craft! β
There weren't many braised vegetables in the pot, Yu Xiaocao smiled sincerely and said, "Yes!" General Fang! Would you like to try it? β
The house town was not hungry, but when he smelled this tempting fragrance, he couldn't help but smash it and said, "Okay! Then I'll try it......"
Wu Yun, another cronie of the house town, reminded softly: "My lord, these are all made of pig intestines and pig stomachs, I don't know if they are clean or not, how can you eat this!" β
Before Wu Yun finished speaking, he was glared at by the adults of his family. The house snorted coldly and said, "I think you have too many comfortable days, and you are becoming poor!" I heard that the northwest is not *decided, do you want General Ben to recommend you to exercise? β
Wu Yun was also promoted from the army in Fangzhen, and after only a few wars, the world settled down, so his feelings about the wars in the past were not as profound as those of his family. Seeing that the adult's face was cold, he didn't dare to say more. I'm afraid that if I say more, I will be on my way to the border tomorrow!
"Old man! Let's have a bowl of lo mein! Xiaocao, cut a plate of pig's head meat for Uncle Fang! The house town lifted up his official uniform and sat on a stool with a lame leg.
Lao Liu's mouth trembled, he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak, and looked at Yu Xiaocao as if asking for help.
Xiaocao smiled and said, "General Fang! The conditions at the wharf are relatively difficult, and Grandpa Liu is not ready to make lo mein! Why don't you let him roll you out a bowl of egg noodles with green vegetables? β
"Egg noodles with green vegetables? Not good, not good! The tomato egg noodles I ate at Master's house yesterday tasted really good! The house smacked its lips as if it were evocative. He lived to be in his forties, and for the first time he heard that wolf peaches could cook, they tasted really good!
He said it casually, without any hope. It just so happened that the tomatoes were produced by Yu Xiaocao's family, and when Yu Xiaocao went out in the morning, he picked a few ripe tomatoes, and planned to eat one when he was thirsty. There are tomatoes and eggs, but you can't make tomato egg noodles?
When Lao Liu Tou was finally about to squeeze out a sentence of "sorry", Yu Xiaocao glanced at him with a smile and said to the house: "General Fang, if you don't dislike it, I'll help you make this tomato egg noodles!" I'll put together a plate of braised vegetables first, you eat it first, and the noodles will be ready in less than a quarter of an hour. β
With a surprised look on his face, House Town said, "Are there really tomatoes?" Oh! I remembered that yesterday's tomatoes from Master's family were given by your family! Hehe, then I'm in for a good day! I heard that tomatoes taste sweet and sour when eaten raw, and they taste good, so give me a taste first! β
Xiaocao took out the washed tomatoes from his basket, picked out one of the reddest and largest, and sent it to General Fang, and cut the other two into pieces for later use.
Old Liu Tou finally realized that the big official in front of him was not so terrifying, and he quickly rolled out the noodles under Xiaocao's instructions.
Xiaocao first put some meat oil in the pot, stir-fried the chopped green onions, and then added the tomato cubes and stir-fried to make a thick soup. Then pour in the beaten egg mixture, wait for the egg mixture to solidify, and then stir-fry gently. Then add an appropriate amount of water to bring to a boil and put the noodles in. When boiling again, add salt and greens, stir gently, and you're ready to go!
The tomatoes and eggs are bright in color and fragrant, which seduces the eyes of many people around. The workers on the docks, have they ever seen tomatoes? They asked Lao Liu Tou for the name and price of noodles.
Old Liu Tou looked at Yu Xiaocao and said hesitantly: "The tomatoes were brought by Xiaocao, I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen this kind of ingredient." Should...... Not cheap, right? β
Yu Xiaocao nodded and said, "Tomatoes are indeed not cheap, they cost dozens of dollars a catty!" This bowl of tomato and egg noodles costs thirty or forty yuan alone. If you want to try it, you can book it with Grandpa Liu. β
The town over there couldn't wait to eat it, and he was so hot that he hissed and inhaled the cool air, and he was still reluctant to spit out the hot noodles in his mouth.
After a mouthful of noodles, he squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and praised repeatedly: "Xiaocao, it's really a good craft!" This bowl of egg noodles with tomatoes tastes even better than the one I ate at Master's house yesterday! Your Uncle and I are rough people and can't describe it in wordsβbut it's really delicious. β
As he spoke, he picked up the noodles in the bowl with his chopsticks, blew them slightly and ate them in a big gulp. Seeing him eat so deliciously, the people around him couldn't help but swallow their saliva!
Wu Yun took the opportunity to pour the few remaining noodles in the pot and half a bowl of soup into the bowl and drank it in a big gulp. When adults eat noodles, he can still get some soup to drink. As soon as the noodle soup entered his mouth, the slightly sour and fragrant flavor spread in his mouth, and he was so delicious that he was about to cry.
After eating most of the bowl of noodles, the house town was in the mood to carefully taste the lo-mei platter that Xiaocao cut for him. Whether it's the soft and glutinous pork head meat, or the crispy ear shreds, or the large intestine that makes people's mouths full of oil, they are definitely the top delicacy. Even the kelp and dried tofu have a unique flavor.
The house town has been an official for many years, and he has tasted a lot of so-called delicacies in the north and south, and it seems that there are no such simple ingredients, and the taste of marinated food is more satisfying to his heart.
The house town, which was not too hungry, ate a large bowl of noodles and swept away a large plate of braised vegetables. Touching his full belly, the house town did not hesitate to praise himself: "Hmm! Good craftsmanship!! I didn't expect Xiaocao to have such skills at such a young age. This pickled vegetable is even more authentic than the one in the town. The taste is comparable to roast chicken and salted duck! β
Xiaolian chuckled and said, "Adults don't know! The pickled vegetables of the Zhenyu Building...... It's a recipe I bought from our house! β
She originally wanted to say that roast chicken and osmanthus duck were also recipes researched by Xiaocao, but she was dragged by her sister and dragged the corners of her clothes, and after getting a hint, she only said the braised vegetables.
"No wonder! It turns out that your braised vegetables are the most authentic!! "The house town is in a great mood!
