Chapter 120: Chen's Restaurant
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
There are many farmers who raise ducks in the abandoned village, and the kitchen also prepares bone-in ducks with open backs, which saves Chen Fu some effort and does not have to slaughter the ducks himself.
The mother-in-law gave Li Shun a hand all the year round, and the action was very neat, and after a short time, all the ingredients that Chen Fu wanted were ready, only to see the man's white fat hands pinching the duck, dipped in ginger and garlic salt, and smearing the duck skin over and over again, and then the duck's belly was facing up, and it was buckled in the sea bowl.
Just looking at Chen Fu's movements, Li Shun knew that the new chef had two brushes, otherwise if the process before the Eight Treasure Duck was put on the pot was not handled properly, it would be wrong to make a mistake, and the taste would be wrong.
At this moment, Chen Fu has fried the lard, added dried scallops, diced chickens and other things, and stir-fried it over high heat, because a lot of foreign sugar was added to it, and a sweet fragrance seeped out when stir-frying, Chen Fu's face was red from the stove fire, but his eyes were full of intoxication, he said that the ingredients of the waste village were good, and he thought that only the green vegetables grew well, but even the quality of chickens and ducks was far better than others, if he could stay in the village, he would not even change the gods that day.
Just thinking about it for a while, Chen Fu couldn't help but salivate, fortunately, he has been making Babao duck for some years, he is very familiar with it, and he will not make any mistakes, and when he wrapped the duck in oiled paper and put it in the steamer, Chen Fu wiped his face.
The pigeon soup stewed by Li Shun is almost the same, this pigeon soup is specially for the old man to replenish his body, the seasoning is less, and he can almost only eat the original taste of the ingredients, but it is very fragrant and delicious.
Chen Fu sniffled, walked to Li Shun's side step by step, looked at the thorn gourd he was holding in his hand, and said, "Evenen me a little." ”
A piece of the thorn gourd tree in Zhuangzi is planted, which is not rare compared to black pearls, and there are naturally more people who eat it.
A chef like Li Shun Chen Fu who loves to cook is greedy, otherwise he would not be able to raise such a thick body of oil.
Pushing the bowl forward, Li Shun snorted: "The fruit in the Zhuangzi bears much better fruit than the outside, like this thorn gourd, I have never seen such a large grain." ”
Chen Fu didn't notice what Li Shun was talking about at all, and as soon as his white claws stretched out into the bowl, he scooped up a large handful.
Seeing that there was only one bottom left in the bowl of the red and gorgeous thorn gourd, Li Shunqi's eyes rolled and secretly scolded Chen Fu for being an edible fool.
Stuffed a thorn gourd into his mouth, sipped the root of his tongue, the thin peel immediately cracked, and the abundant juice filled his mouth, Chen Fu tasted the sweet taste, one grain for a while, and he was very happy to eat.
Li Shun asked people to send the boiled pigeon soup to the old marquis, and the eight treasure ducks in this stall were also steamed out of the fragrance, the smell was like a feather, and it was lightly scratched on the chest, and the hook was itchy and unbearable, but it was not tasted, and it was really abrasive.
"Do you have a secret recipe for making this eight-treasure duck? I smell this smell a little different, the spices you raced in the duck belly before, I'm afraid it's not only in our Zhuangzi. ”
Hearing this, Chen Fu didn't say anything, only laughed silly.
Li Shun glanced at him, and he was not ready to ask, after all, every chef has his own recipes and secret recipes, Chen Fu has it, he also has it, this kind of thing is really annoying to ask too much, and there is no need to open this mouth.
Wait until the eight treasure duck is steamed, Chen Fu tore the oil paper, the meat fragrance is even stronger, to say that although this duck has a white meat, it does not taste like a chicken goose, it itself has a fishy fragrance, if it is handled well, it is naturally the icing on the cake, once it is not handled well, the fishy smell can not be suppressed, how can it be eaten well?
Chen Fu used the original marinade of steamed duck to mix shrimp and green beans, and poured them directly on the golden-red eight-treasure duck. ”
"Then it's troublesome Aunt Qian."
While speaking, Chen Fu wiped the sweat on his head and face with a white handkerchief, it is said that there is nothing wrong with being fat, but this body is much weaker than ordinary people, and the kitchen is very stuffy, and if you stay for a little longer, it is easy to get hot sweat.
Mrs. Qian brought the big bowl to the master bedroom, and as soon as she entered the door, Pan'er smelled the fragrance, straightened her waist and sat on the stool, and said softly:
"But the Eight Treasure Duck is ready?"
"It's exactly this, the old slave smells it and thinks it's good, Madame, taste it, today Liu Gao and they really picked up a treasure and came back."
Babao duck is a whole duck, not easy to eat, fortunately, the steaming time is not short, the meat is rotten and the bones are crispy, the chopsticks can be stretched to add the next piece, dipped in a little marinade, Pan'er took a bite, but forgot that the duck was just out of the pot, the hot lips were numb, she blew on the duck meat again and again, and waited until it was not so hot, before eating it.
Chen Fu's craftsmanship is really not bad, this eight-treasure duck smells fragrant and eats fragrantly, compared to what she had eaten in Duobaolou earlier, it is more than a step stronger.
Thinking in her heart, Pan'er's mouth is not idle, since the morning sickness stopped, her appetite has grown, obviously there is already a lot of soft meat on her waist, but as soon as she sees these foods, the gluttony in her stomach can no longer be controlled, so that she can eat hard and can't stop talking.
Mrs. Qian was afraid that her master would be overwhelmed, so she boiled hawthorn water, thinking that she would let her wife drink some later, so that she could digest and digest it.
Fortunately, Pan'er was still restrained, and she didn't eat much, so she let Mrs. Qian take it down and said:
"If it's hot at night, it's a waste of saving."
Obviously, there are countless coins in her hand, and Pan'er's careful and budget-slamming temperament has not yet been reversed, after all, she was frozen to death and starved to death in her previous life, and she couldn't see anything bad, so she said something.
Chen Fu's cooking made Pan'er very satisfied, so she naturally could stay in the abandoned village.
Chu Liang came back in the dark, and when he got on the kang, he held his little daughter-in-law in his arms, his arms were as tight as an iron hoop, almost strangling Pan'er.
"Loosen up, I've eaten too much at night."
Hearing the words of the little daughter-in-law, the man's thick and hard palm poked into the hem of his clothes, covering the slightly raised lower abdomen, his eagle eyes widened slightly, and he said roughly: "Why do you eat so much?" ”
Pan'er couldn't help but snort: "If you eat too much, our general will be reluctant?" ”
"I didn't mean that......"
"I see that's what you think, I've gained a lot of weight recently, even if you don't say it, you must be disgusted in your heart, thinking about finding a few young, slender little girls......"
Listening to the series of nonsense in the mouth of the little daughter-in-law, Chu Liang didn't know how to defend it, he hugged the person tightly in his arms, propped his hands on the bed board, and said in a hoarse voice: "I've been greedy for you alone in my life, whether you are fat or thin, you are good-looking." ”
In order to show that he likes the soft little daughter-in-law, Chu Liang also lowered his head and kissed the tender belly, the stubble on the man's jaw has not been shaved, and the thorns on the body are numb and itchy, so that Pan'er can't help laughing, and twists back and forth dishonestly.
Looking down at the little woman's moist apricot eyes, feeling the warm fragrance of nephrite jade close at hand, Chu Liang felt as if he was about to explode, his handsome face suddenly became hideous, and his dark eagle eyes were amazingly bright, staring closely at the prey in front of him, eager to eat the little daughter-in-law into his stomach.
It's a pity that in less than three months, the fetal image is unstable, and it really can't withstand the toss.
Sensing Chu Liang's changes, Pan'er couldn't help blushing a little, pushed her hot chest with her little hands, and hummed: "Don't make a fuss, if others find out that you have returned to Zhuangzi, there may be a lot of trouble." ”
With delicate lips in his mouth, Chu Liang said vaguely: "Don't be afraid." ”
Empress Qu is a smart woman, she knows what to do to keep her throne, as well as the lives of hundreds of people in the Qu family, or in a few days, there will be news of Emperor Mingde's violent death in the imperial city, Emperor Mingde only has one prince under his knees, and he is not yet four years old, and he can ascend the throne at that time, except for King Zhao, who does not think about him.
"Good daughter-in-law, help me ......"

Rong'an Fang has been open in the capital for several years, I don't know how many regular customers, Mrs. Zhao inquired a little, and knew that there was a restaurant to sell on the street, although the location of the restaurant was good, but it could not stand the opposite side of the Duobao Building, the craftsmanship of the people was good, the weight was sufficient, and there were many years in the capital, how could there be a bad reason for the business?
At first, the owner of the restaurant thought that he could make some money, after all, these people in Beijing were tired of eating the dishes of Duobaolou, and they also wanted to change their tastes.
In less than a year, the savings in the hands of the restaurant owner were almost lost, and only this one restaurant was left, so an inventory could frighten him, and he thought about selling the restaurant, returning to his hometown to buy a few pieces of land, and at least more secure with grain and harvest, although he could not be rich and expensive, but he could not starve to death.
Mrs. Zhao heard that the restaurant was opened on the edge of Duobao Building, and she was quite unhappy, after all, she had eaten many times of things in Duobao Building, although it was not as good as the imperial food in the palace, but it was not much worse, only with the skills of the chefs in that building, their restaurant was opened opposite the house, and I am afraid that it would not be pleased.
After hesitating for a while, Mrs. Zhao told Pan'er about it, but she still planned to choose another one.
Unexpectedly, when Pan'er heard about the location of the restaurant, she immediately took out the silver, and had to ask Mrs. Zhao to buy the restaurant.
It was the uncle who gave the money, although he didn't understand what Mrs. meant, but Mrs. Zhao didn't want to disobey her mind, so she found the owner of the restaurant and spent a full three thousand taels of silver to buy the restaurant.
Speaking of which, in a three-story restaurant like this, three thousand taels of silver is really not much, if the boss is not in a hurry to return to his hometown, I am afraid that he will have to ask for a higher price.
gave the silver, and went to the government to register and make a book, Pan'er asked people to play a new signboard, on which the words "Chen's Restaurant" were clearly displayed, so that Chen Fu, a dignified seven-foot man, was both moved and sour in his heart, and his eyes were a little red.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the capital was under martial law, and the bell rang 30,000 times.
Emperor Mingde died.
Even if Pan'er has been staying in the abandoned village to raise a baby, and has heard about the death of Emperor Mingde, the guards guarding the abandoned village do not dare to slack off, and they are worried every day, guarding the residences of several masters in the village, especially Princess Zhao and Xiao Shizi, who may not be the queen and the prince in the future, and their status is unspeakably expensive, so naturally they can't make any mistakes.
There are 50,000 soldiers in the north camp of the city, even if someone wants to take advantage of the chaos to raise troops, as long as Chu Liang is in charge, he will not be able to stir up any storms.
When Emperor Mingde was alive, he sent King Zhao to guard the mausoleum, and now King Zhao and his entourage have set off, and they will soon arrive in the capital.
Since beating Emperor Mingde's seven orifices and bleeding and dying, Prime Minister Xu immediately panicked, even if the people under his command gave Emperor Mingde a red pill, it was also to better manipulate His Majesty and make Xu Dang's power in the court more stable, and he didn't think that the emperor would give his life so quickly.
How did he think that the Lao Shizi assassin came, directly injured Emperor Mingde, and then drove the crane west, now the Zhao Wang party is menacing, if he really let him enter Beijing, the Xu family has hundreds of people, how can they save their lives?
Before Prime Minister Xu could use any shady tricks, the Prime Minister's Mansion was already surrounded by seriously ill groups, and the military men had no intention of breaking into it, just carefully guarded it, did not let people enter or exit, and put in some food and vegetables and other things every day, so as not to let Prime Minister Xu starve to death.
Although the lives of the people in the prime minister's mansion are safe, they are like frightened birds, and they can't live in fear.
To say that the most frightened of them is Prime Minister Xu Cheng, who has been in charge of the government for many years. If he hadn't made a hindrance and tampered with the edict of the first emperor without authorization, it would have been King Zhao who ascended the throne, not Emperor Mingde, who was cruel and unkind and obsessed with alchemy.
ruined King Zhao's good deeds, now that he is about to return to the capital, and when the time comes, he will be liquidated, what good fruit can he eat?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Xu Cheng knew that he had no way to live, so he took advantage of the fact that the attendants around him did not pay attention, and threw himself directly into the lotus pond, but unfortunately the lotus pond was shallow, and he was seen by two guards when he threw himself into the lake.
After a few days, King Zhao finally entered Beijing, Chu Liang rode a horse to the gate of the city, and when he saw King Zhao wearing Xuanyi, he turned over and dismounted, and bowed directly.
King Zhao is different from Emperor Mingde, he is not intolerant, Chu Liang is talented, capable, and young, and can defend the territory for decades for the great cause, such a beautiful jade and good talent, King Zhao will naturally treat each other sincerely.
Busy helping people up, King Zhao said movingly: "Zikang, if you weren't planning in Beijing, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good, you worked hard for months, and protected the princess and the prince, why do you want to see me outside?" ”
Chu Liang didn't dare to say anything, even if King Zhao directly called him the word, but the monarch and the minister were different, and he must not transgress it, otherwise the prestige of the Dingbei Hou Mansion would be ruined in his hands.
