Chapter 54: Bai Ding Yu

The day is light and the ink is late, and the lights are almost on.

The old lady returned to Zhongfu with Zhu'er and Lan'er, and Mei'er and Ju'er heard the voices of people outside, so they came out to pick them up. The old lady also wanted to rest, so she went back to Shouzhongju first.

Mei'er watched the tea and served it unconsciously, and Ju'er followed her unhappily. There was a small story here, that Ju'er used to be in charge of the kitchen, that day because Zhu'er called her to take things, the old lady asked her to pass the soup porridge to Jinghua Xie, that time was not available, the old lady was annoyed, so she withdrew her identity as the chef and let Lan'er take charge. At present, Ju'er's identity is embarrassing, not the little girl's call, nor is she the chef's manager. And because the old lady swept the dust and went to the mansions, let Lan'er follow left and right, and now when she came back, Ju'er saw that Lan'er was a little swollen.

The old lady felt something. The old lady went through the Beifu this time, her heart was slightly cold, thinking about Zhuang Xiu's words, the older she is to deal with people, the more harsh she is? Seeing Ju'er's situation, and then contacting Zhuang Ju's temperament, I couldn't help but think: If Ju'er is the second girl, I'm afraid she won't be so obedient, and she will have to keep what she wants if she dies. It can be seen that the girl and the young lady, the difference is that they are from different backgrounds, and their mood is the same, although Ju'er is silent, but compared to Zhuang Lingling's sharp teeth, it is more than many times more powerful.

Therefore, the old lady beckoned Ju'er over and said to her: "Later, Zhu'er told me that she was the one who asked you to do other things." Coincidentally, I was a little quick-tempered and moved to the wrong you. I went to the mansions today, Lan'er didn't say anything, I think, there is a specialization in the art industry, and she really doesn't know anything about food, and she can't say half a sentence for half a day. She's still in charge of her storeroom. Go back to your kitchen! Do you blame me? ”

Ju'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady.

The old lady asked Zhu'er to help her, and in front of her, except for Mei'er, Zhu'er and Lan'er looked very happy, and they all went over to hold Ju'er to show relief.

I only heard Ju'er say happily to the old lady: "The old lady hasn't gone out yet, and the son of Miss Qi has always begged for oil, salt and sundries, and I take care of these on weekdays, but I didn't tell the old lady about it, and I gave it privately." Now ask the old lady for sin. ”

The old lady smiled and said, "What is this, but if the girl comes to pick up something, you don't have to reply to me, just give it to her." Because she wondered what Zisu and Yu Qi were going to do, she asked Ju'er again: "Did you finish cleaning the house?" What did you eat? ”

Ju'er smiled shyly and glanced at Zhu'er, who nodded and motioned for her.

Chrysanthemum said: "The old lady went out for a while, and the girls were busy in Jinghuaxie, like a spatula pounding back and forth in the pot." I took a look, and everything was bright and complete, and I did it faster than we did. Not only that, the third master of Xifu also came to help......"

The old lady interrupted and sighed: "I said, how can I not find anyone at that time, and I will disappear in a blink of an eye." It turned out that Jinghua Xie came to help his sister. Still today? ”

Ju'er smiled, didn't nod or shake her head.

The old lady couldn't help but be curious: "Then what do they make to honor me?" ”

Ju'er "um" for a while, to say not to say the situation.

Zhu'er quipped: "The old lady said that she was just in Nanfu, and the old lady said that I, 'You love to ask people again.'" Since we are here, everyone knows that we should be surprised. No need to ask, let's go see. Now, the old lady is embarrassed again, so Miss Qi is not allowed to surprise the old lady? ”

The old lady slapped her mouth again and again, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Suddenly, the unpleasant things in Beifu were thrown away by eight or nine points.

But Ju'er still flattered the old lady and said to her: "Miss Qi and Zisu discussed for a long time, and finally ordered a table of 'Bai Ding Yu'." ”

After the old lady and the others heard this, they looked confused, and they were very puzzled by what this "Bai Ding Yu" was. I can't wait to go to Jinghua Xie to take a look.

Of course, not to mention that the old lady doesn't know about "Bai Dingyu", even Yu Qi didn't think of giving this strange name to this agricultural food at first.

At that time, Yu Qi helped Zisu carry water to light the fire, and the two muttered about what to cook for the farm.

Zisu means, chicken, duck and fish can be exempted, it is not only a farmer's meal, but it must be porridge and salt. Zisu's 'clear porridge and salt' is not without provenance, and this is the case in the southern border of their hometown. She has seen poor people eat three meals a day, often hungry, occasionally get some thin rice, shake off a few grains of porridge, no fish and meat, buy sea salt or stone salt from salt merchants, take this as a dish, drink a mouthful of gruel, dip chopsticks in salt, and send porridge with salty taste. It can be seen that the poor people's meals are like this.

Yu Qi felt that this was too perfunctory. Therefore, the two thought carefully.

Later, Zhuang Yu came and participated in the cooking of the farmer's house. That Zhuang Yu didn't participate in the original, and helped Sanxi and Fusheng carry away the snowdrifts in the courtyard. Later, when I came to the kitchen, I saw Yu Qi and Zisu gathered around the side dish table, meditating and thinking, so they were lively and teased them.

Zhuang Jue said to them: "The old lady just went over to eat the green vegetables, home-cooked diced meat, and fried barley tea made in our house. When I came out, the old lady was eating, otherwise you would also make seasonal vegetables and greens. I think it's a lot of farm fun, and it's in line with today. ”

After hearing this, Yu Qi and Zisu looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Yu Qi said: "Such a cheap thing, still use you to instruct?" It's nothing more than green vegetables and meat, besides this, what else is special in your house? Eating meat every day or something, isn't it too boring? Someone wrote a poem in the Song Dynasty, and I see that some sentences can be taken out and told to you. ”

Zhuang Jue had great pleasure: "Sister, say quickly, what kind of poem is it?" ”

Yu Qi glanced at Zisu and said with a slight smile: "It's a residual poem, I don't see how good it is, it's just that it says, 'What a boast of a tiger's head eating meat, and the origin of yin virtue is a luxury'."

Zisu smiled faintly: "The agricultural meal is a meat dice, and the jade letter recipe is a secret green vegetable." ”

Yu Qi listened to Zisu like that, and laughed backwards.

Zhuang Jue looked at the two strangely: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zisu pushed Yu Qi and begged her, not letting her say it.

Zhuang Jue didn't follow, so he had to say it. Yu Qi responded: "What did you say when Sister Su picked me up just now?" ”

Zhuang Jue said: "The agricultural meal is a meat dice, and the jade letter recipe is a secret green vegetable." ”

Yu Qi and Zisu laughed again.

After that, Yu Qi explained: "That's a poem that Sister Su picked up crookedly." Originally, people were 'tiger head carnivorous what is enough to exaggerate, the origin of yin virtue is to repay luxury, the Dan turtle has achieved no rabbit, and the secret edge of the jade letter is the green snake', she replaced the 'Dan turtle' with a farm meal, and the 'rabbit without a rabbit' was replaced with the 'meat dice' on your house, and the ridiculous thing is that the sentence at the end of the sentence is that the 'green snake' will be replaced by the 'green vegetables' on your house. Ridiculous and not ridiculous. ”

Zhuang Jue smiled: "What is this?" Poetry and books have always been the thoughts of life, and the predecessors may not have such a depiction. In my opinion, Sister Su has changed well. Don't say anything about green snakes and vegetables, let me tell you one, it's not meat or vegetables. So he thought and recalled, "When I was a child, I ate something I don't know what to call it, and it tasted so good. However, I don't remember much. It is said that it is a dish and not a dish, it is packed in a residual bowl, it is green and green, slippery and greasy, and it tastes very refreshing, such as clotted tofu, which is softer than tofu, compared to water, but it is thick and tangible, crystal clear and emerald jade. ”

Zisu said with a smile: "There is a kind of sugar water powder in the south, which is transparent, that is, it is made of water evaporation, do you want to say this?" But there's no such thing as green. It's not a dish, it's a snack, and it's a way to cool off the heat. ”

Zhuang Jue was immersed in memories, blindly thinking about it, and didn't pay attention to Zisu's words.

Yu Qi pushed Zisu a little and sneered in a low voice: "This person is crazy." It's all about making trouble. Ignore him. ”

Zisu's eyes rolled, he bit his lip and thought about it, and nodded at Zhuang Yu: "What he said also makes sense." If you make a dish with water, you're afraid that no one has ever eaten it, right? Water is the matter of life, no matter rich or poor, Hongru Baiding is indispensable. If water can become a food for farming, it is amazing. ”

Yu Qi looked at Zisu suspiciously, and then looked at Zhuang Jue, and covered his mouth and smiled.

When Zhuang Ying and Zisu heard this, they asked Yu Qi in unison: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Yu Qi said: "I have only heard of the poor and hungry thinking about their stomachs, and I have never seen the rich young master meditating on the poor. ”

Zisu pushed Yu Qi hatefully, and Zhuang Jue laughed when he saw it.

After a while, Zhuang Jue remembered the food he ate when he was a child, and said: "I remember, when I was a child, I went to Beifu to play, and I seemed to eat it in the Fence Bamboo Garden." At that time, the bamboo garden was not abandoned, and there were more bamboos than now. But who gave me food, I can't remember it for a while. ”

Yu Qi smiled directly at Zhuang Jue: "I'm afraid that the girl from the fence bamboo garden will give you food!" The green bamboo in the garden doesn't look like this, and you say it's slippery, don't you think of red rouge as green rouge. ”

These words caused Zhuang Ying's face to be red, and he repeatedly turned his face to hide from shame.

Zisu heard this, and also blushed, so he bumped into Yu Qi, who realized that his words were a little inappropriate, and he coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment.

Zhuang Jue shirked this and went out to help Sanxi and left again.

For the rest, Yu Qi and Zisu continued to discuss.

Finally, Zi Su said: "To be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't want to think of this way to please those people." Have you heard about the rouge used by the girls in the house? ”

Yu Qi blushed and said, "Sister, I just said that I was playing, and you said it again!" "Refers to Zhuang Jue's delicate rouge and laughing stalk.

Zi Su said: "I'll tell the truth. Whoever is messing with you, I'm not the third master. He smiled to himself. The two of them fought for a while.

After that, Yu Qi said: "A few days ago, I saw Zhu'er come back with a box of rouge from Beifu, and by chance, Zhu'er gave me a small box. I said I don't need that. Zhu'er said: "This is something that cannot be bought elsewhere, and the old lady specially designated the people of Huashan to develop it from flowering flowers." 'It's different from the rouge bought in the market!' When I asked what the difference was, Zhu'er said, "I bought rouge mixed with incense powder in the market, and it didn't matter for a while, but there was a little poison in it, and if it soaked into the body for a long time, it would kill people." Therefore, the old lady specially designated the girls and wives to use this rouge, which must be developed from flowers, and do not need to be bought in the market. I'm amazed that so many people don't even see who died. Besides, this rouge may not be better than the market buy. Zhu'er said: "You don't know this, the rouge in our house is made of a hundred flowers, it can be eaten, you can smear it on your face, lips, skin is healthy, not to mention, you are not afraid to enter the mouth, and it gives birth to a sweet taste!" 'You woke me up just now when you talked about rouge. If you can use the rouge in the house to make a farmhouse dish, it is really chic. It is also a flower planted by farmers, not to mention the topic, and it is very different from what is eaten every day in this house. When it comes to making it, do you remember the crystal sugar powder we ate when we were kids? ”

Yu Qi pondered and nodded.

Zisu said: "We poured the rouge into the water, made it with the method of crystal sugar powder, and made it bowl by bowl, and when the time came, the whole house was sent out one by one." Let them see and see, you are more thoughtful and capable than they think. They will not be compared. ”

Yu Qi agreed.

Zisu thought about it, felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "According to what I just said, I made an enemy." Otherwise, ask them for rouge, make them a bowl for each, and they will eat their own rouge. They got involved on their own, and it was delicious and harmonious. I think that you were a little estranged from them before, and it is also a great benefit to do this to win them over. ”

Yu Qi nodded: "Sister's recipe." I couldn't have imagined such a good dish. My sister is really my nobleman. But what if they don't? Isn't it embarrassing? ”

Zi Su said: "If I don't know about such a good thing, if I know it, I will definitely be novel, and I can't wait to give my rouge immediately." If they don't want to, you say, "It's not something you did, it's something you did with your sisters, so that everyone can be reunited and celebrated." If the old ladies and wives like it, they also take half of the credit, they sit back and enjoy it, eat delicious food, and finally be praised or not? I'm afraid it's greedy! ”

Yu Qi covered his mouth with a smile, and was afraid that Zhuang Jue would hear these words, so he quickly signaled Zisu to lower his voice.

Then, Yu Qi said distressedly: "It's just that the dish has to have a name, what is our dish called?" ”

Zisu said casually: "Red and white happy events." ”

Yu Qi "Bah Bah" Qi Zisu: "Red and white happy events are cursed words." You should be festive! ”

Zi Su said: "You still know how to curse people, who else can we curse besides them?" You deserve to curse us. ”

Yu Qi said: "The rouge is red, and no matter how greedy the name is, it repeats the cumbersomeness, and it is not too elegant." What is the color of a small farmer's household? ”

Zisu sighed: "White, naked, and so poor that it jingles, what else can there be?" ”

After hearing this, Yu Qi smiled and said, "Sister, you also reminded me." Do you remember the painting that the Jade Girl painted when she was there? ”

Zisu pondered and nodded: "There is a burrow in the stream under the clouds?" ”

Yu Qi clapped his hands and said, "Exactly!" ”

Zisu smiled: "Our dish is called Burrow Rouge?" ”

Yu Qi snorted: "When the jade girl was there that day, we also commented that "The Burrow" came, didn't there be a sentence in it, 'There is no white ding' in it? Who is Bai Ding? It's an ordinary person. Just now, my sister said that she wanted to curse people, it's too explicit, isn't it good to use the word 'white ding'? Elegant and chic, with a smile in shame. This peasant house, white and naked, responded to the peasants and red rouge. There is red to say white, we don't say red, only white, whether it is a happy event, at a glance, it is really real! But just taking 'Bai Ding' is not like the name of the dish, and there is a suspicion of scolding, if you add a word, it will be more natural. I think that there are many words for meals, which are really obscure to use, and the use of "meal" before or after the word "meal" seems rigid and rigid, and there is no head. I read that the word "imperial meal" was mentioned in the book, which was inspired by the royal family. If we want to use it, give up the 'meal' and ask for the 'royal', one is to show their noble status, and the other is to seek to have a connection with food. Sister, what do you think is good? ”

Zisu sneered: "A peasant dish, you have to ask them about the university." If you want me to say, tell them directly that this dish is called 'Baiyun boiled water', and they don't like to eat it. Since it's your idea, just use what you say! I feel that the word 'Bai Ding' has a deep meaning and is ironic. Very good. ”

In this way, the two sisters were overjoyed, and after a while, they happily went to find Zhuang Jue, and did not say what to do, but asked him to do it for him, and asked the sisters to ask for rouge.

Zhuang Jue asked many times what he was doing, but the two of them kept silent.

Zhuang Jue didn't follow, and it was noisy, which attracted Ju'er, who was sad and sad in Shouzhongju. Zhuang Jue saw that someone was coming to see, so he grabbed Ju'er and coaxed him to ask about the result.

Yu Qi couldn't hold it, so he said, "We want to make a farm dish, called Bai Ding Yu." Just go and help us find it, and I'll thank you later. However, you have to tell your sisters and sisters that they have a share of this dish, and we will deliver it to you later. ”

In this way, Zhuang Yu was puzzled, and according to Yu Yu's request, he first went back to his house to find Zhuang Yuna, but unexpectedly, when he returned to the house, it was when his mother and the second brother Zhuang Pu had a big quarrel.
