Chapter Eighty-Four: Gourmet
At this time, there were only a few individually wrapped braised vegetables left in the small straw basket, and she promised Foreman Sun to leave him one copy of each of them, and after removing those, there was only one ear silk, one pig arch mouth, and two fat intestines left.
"Okay! A total of 4 cents! Xiaocao quickly packed all these pickled vegetables together with a piece of oiled paper, and Xiaoshi stretched out his little hand, waiting to collect the money.
The gold shopkeeper was stunned, 4 money? He invited Yuan Daru to eat a dish for four cents, and said that it was cold or not? This is not respectful to Yuan Daru! What to do? Mr. Yuan is still waiting over there, who called himself undersmoked and volunteered to run errands?
"Excuse me, do you still want these pickled vegetables?" When Xiaocao saw him take out the money in his purse, he froze as if someone had immobilized him. Puzzled in his heart, he asked softly.
Xiao Shi made a "I understand" expression and said sympathetically: "Sister, this chubby uncle, is the money stolen?" I've heard that there are pickpockets on this pier...... Second sister, he's pitiful, why don't we give him a free braised vegetable to taste......"
A few dock workers around who came late and didn't buy braised vegetables also urged again and again: "Uncle, do you want more?" Little grass girl, if he doesn't want it, sell me a copy - give you money. β
The golden shopkeeper gritted his teeth, paused, and said, "Who said I don't want it?" Don't you still have it in this basket? Wrap it all up for me! β
Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, these copies have been booked." It's true that there are only four copies left, so I'm sorry. I come here every day to sell braised vegetables, a penny meat dish is our family's signature, if you like it, you are welcome to come back in the future. β
The shopkeeper Jin was afraid that Mr. Yuan would be in a hurry, so he took the paper bag wrapped in the braised vegetables, threw a piece of silver horn about a penny, turned around and left as if burning his buttocks. Xiaocao was thinking about whether the money she had sold today was enough to find it, and the golden fat man left, and she hurriedly shouted, "Hey, hey! I haven't looked for your money yet! β
"No need, the rest will be rewarded for you!" This silver slot is the golden shopkeeper rewarding the servant at home, and in his eyes it is like a copper plate in the eyes of ordinary people.
Yuan Sinian took his little grandson and sat down at the noodle stall of the old Wangtou's house not far away, ordered two bowls of somen noodles, and stretched out his head to wait for the golden shopkeeper to come back.
"Why so long? It's not going to sell out, is it? Stinky boy, I know that grandpa is good at this bite, and I don't know how to buy a copy and come back to grandpa to taste, hum! If you can't eat that 'braised cabbage' today, you wait for me! β
Where does Yuan Sinian still have half of the Confucian temperament at this time, and he is an awkward old naughty boy. Yuan Yunxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and sighed secretly in her heart...... However, he seems to have heard the voice of the little girl selling pickled vegetables in the crowd just now......
"It's coming! Here it comes!! Yuan Sinian was busy sitting upright, and he returned to the unfathomable appearance of the scenery and the moon. The corners of Yuan Yunxi's mouth twitched, and she hung her head weakly.
The golden shopkeeper smiled like Maitreya Buddha, borrowed a bowl from the noodle stall, diligently put the braised vegetables into it one by one, and asked: "Uncle, is there sesame oil?" It would taste better with some sesame oil......"
Xiaocao, who chased after him to find his money, heard the words and said with a smile: "Yes, if you pour some sesame oil and pat two cloves of garlic, it will taste even better!" Sir, I'm looking for you ninety-six ......"
Mr. Yuan glanced at the copper plate in her hand lightly, and said, "He said don't look for it, you can take it." Anyway, people have a lot of money, and no matter how much money they have, they don't care about it. β
The sweat in the heart of the gold shopkeeper! Where did you offend this old ancestor again? Is it also wrong to have too much money? If Mr. Yuen was willing to let his son re-enter the college, he would rather lose all his family wealth and live a life of poverty......
"Uh...... Mr. Yuan, he doesn't have sesame oil here, I'll look elsewhere......" The golden shopkeeper fled in embarrassment, found the only place to sell stir-fried vegetables, threw a silver horn, and brought all the small half bottles of sesame oil left by the family.
Xiaocao saw that the fat man in gorgeous clothes and the gentle old man all looked like their fingers did not touch the spring water, so he volunteered to skillfully pat the garlic head, mix the marinated vegetables with sesame oil, and said, "Please use it slowly!" β
"Hmm!" Yuan Sinian tried his best to hold back the restlessness in his heart, slowly stretched out his chopsticks, pinched an ear wire, and slowly put it in his mouth.
Yuan Yunxi, who was beside him, resisted the urge to roll his eyes again, no one knew this grandfather better, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he would have gobled it up a long time ago, taking care of his identity...... However, this little girl looks a little familiar!
Yuan Yunxi's complaint in his heart was not over, and he saw that his uncompetitive grandfather had already thrown away all his reserve, with tears in his eyes, his mouth kept moving, and the chopsticks in his hand seemed to be adding an electric motor, and he quickly sandwiched the braised vegetables into his mouth, as if someone was robbing him.
"Grandpa, slow down! The ears have to be chewed carefully to taste the taste! The kind and lovely little stone, seeing that Yuan Daru's mouth was full of braised vegetables, and he kept sandwiching the vegetables, he felt infinite sympathy in his heart: How long has this old man not tasted meat? It's like this.
Xiao Shi kindly reminded Yuan Daru that there were other people here! However, in his opinion, the world is not as big as the food. However, he also knew that tasting it so much was too tyrannical.
Gradually, he slowed down the speed of eating, chewing each bite for a long time, and praised while eating: "Little girl, this is called 'red oil ear silk'?" Wonderful! The color is red and bright, the texture is crisp and glutinous, salty and spicy, and the taste is strong and fragrant...... What about this, what is this called? β
"This is called braised fat sausage!" The voice of the grass is crisp and loud.
Yuan Sinian sandwiched a piece of fat sausage, put it in his mouth, tasted it slowly, and nodded incessantly: "The taste is rich, the entrance is soft, fat but not greasy, and people never get tired of eating it...... Not bad, not bad! Fatty sausages? Is it made from animal intestines? β
"The old gentleman is wise, this is made from the large intestine of a pig and marinated with various spices. It is delicious and fatty, and it is a great accompaniment to the sake. Braised fat sausages can not only be eaten cold, but also stir-fried, and can also be stewed in soup. Each one has its own unique taste! Xiaocao saw that he didn't seem to have anything to reject, so he introduced it with great interest.
The golden shopkeeper kept shaking his head with his evaluation, but when he heard this, his movements froze, and his jaw almost fell to the ground. Pig large intestine? He actually invited Yuan Daru to eat the pig's intestines, it's over, it's over! His son's return to the academy must be out of play
- Alas! How can a son have a father like him? The golden shopkeeper can't wait to crash to death on the table!
"Good! Good!! The old man once heard the Emperor Taishang mention the dishes in his hometown, and his favorite is 'spicy fat sausage'. Listen to the fragrance he described, what is mellow and soft, and what is full of fragrance...... I can hear my salivaβit's all ......."
"Ahem!" Yuan Yunxi, who was young and old, saw that when his grandfather talked about eating, he didn't care about any image, so he coughed a few times to remind him.
Yuan Sinian's eyes widened, and he shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you coughing up?" The people take food as the sky, and the emperor said that 'people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic', saying that it is a shame to eat? Is it shameless to love food? Stinky boy, get out of here, and don't let me see youβruined fun! β
"Huh? You're not the one who...... Who ......" Yu Xiaocao saw the true face of the little beautiful man in front of her clearly, and immediately recognized the other party, but she didn't remember the name very well, "You're Wednesday's friend, right?" Just disembarked? β
Yuan Yunxi finally remembered where she had seen the little girl, and said with a faint smile: "Miss Yu......"
"Good grandson, do you recognize this little girl? Why haven't you heard of such a delicious friend who cooks before? Yuan Sinian glared at his grandson, and when he turned to Yu Xiaocao, he had a kind smile on his face: "Little girl, you have done a good job with braised fat intestines, where is your ancestral hometown?" It can't be the emperor's fellow countryman, right? Do you still make fragrant pork head meat? β
Yuan Yunxi frowned, looking helpless.
Yu Xiaocao was amused by the grandfather who looked like an old naughty boy and the grandson who looked like a primary school, and when he was happy, Leng Buding was asked by him, his smile froze for a second, and he immediately shook his head and said:
"My ancestors have lived in a small fishing village here for generations, and their ancestors have made a living from fishing. Our family lives in poverty, so we think about using what people don't eat as ingredients, so we pour out these ear threads and fat intestines. We are little people, how can we have the honor of having a hometown with the Emperor......"
She has already determined that the Emperor Taishang is the same as her, so that he will change history and establish the Ming Dynasty that is completely different from her impression. Just kidding, she is ready to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and she will never be a bird. She didn't want to have anything to do with that famous fellow traveler.
The little stone beside her said complacently: "The braised vegetables made by my second sister are the most delicious, old man, the pig's head meat you said, we have sold out today." However, this arch mouth is also good, fat but not greasy, full of taste, don't believe you to taste it! β
"Haha! Good, good! The little guy, very articulate, how old is he, has he read? Yuan Sinian saw the somen noodles when he came up, so he pulled the pork arch mouth chop into the noodle bowl, and ate it together.
Xiao Shi said with a smile: "I'm six years old, and the second sister said that when she makes money making braised vegetables, she will send me to study in the school in the town." Our village is too small and poor, and there is no place to study. However, Brother Xiaowen next door to us went to school in the most famous academy in the town, and when Xiu Mu came back, he would teach me and Brother Xiaowu to recognize some words. I can already write my own name, and I can recognize 150 or 60 words! β
"Oh? I know a lot of words, and I can write my own name, not bad, not bad! Can you write your name to the old man? Yuan Daru seems to be very interested in this young child, and their academy has also set up an initiation class in the past two years to accept bright children in the neighborhood.
