Chapter 11 Gastronomy
After all, Bai Qian was a girl's heart, so she couldn't help but be curious, turned her head and asked, "What is it?" ”
Feng Lanzi pointed to the things in the bowl, licked her lips and smacked her tongue, clicking, showing a salivating appearance, and said, "Sure enough, it's a crab roe lion head!" ”
Bai Qian was startled when she heard of it, and said strangely: "What? Can a lion's head eat too? ”
Feng Lanzi shook his head and said: "No, no, no, only lions eat people, how can anyone eat lions?" This stewed crab roe lion's head is a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River, carefully cooked with fresh meat. You see, the meatballs are fat and tender, the crab roe is sweet and fresh, the soup is green and fragrant, the taste is unique, the mouth is appetizing after eating, and the aftertaste is endless, which can be called a must in Jiangnan. Tut-tut, the girl is so good, Jiangnan is not less than thousands of miles away from here, just a piece of crab roe, it is already difficult to transfer it here. My uncle tried his best to make such a dish, but let the girl use it first, okay, good! As he spoke, he smacked his lips and looked at Bai Qian with slanted eyes, full of joy. He looks different from Luo Meizi's black blank, his face is like light, white and red, and he is a large crab roe lion head.
Bai Qian listened to him, turned her head to look, and saw a few large meatballs rising and falling in the turquoise clear soup, full of fragrance. She pursed her lips nonchalantly and said, "What do you know about Jiangnan famous spots?" It's good, but it's just a scary name, and if you like it, I can't eat it. ”
Feng Lanzi touched his nose with ash, oh a few times, couldn't answer, and then opened another one, sighed, and said, "Weird, weird, what is this?" ”
Bai Qian stretched out her head to take a look, and saw a large piece of round rice cake on the plate, pink in color, soft and glutinous, exuding wisps of faint rice fragrance. It is also carefully sprinkled with a layer of honey red beans, green and red papaya shreds, and various candied fruits cut into shreds, red, yellow and green, crystal clear, as if paved with a layer of gemstone agate, which makes people can't bear to eat it.
Bai Qian likes sweets, she likes them very much, and she is really hungry in her stomach, so she honestly and unceremoniously picks a small piece and puts it in her mouth. As soon as you eat the red bean muffin, you will only feel soft, fragrant and very delicious.
After eating three or four pieces, he was satisfied, and this time he didn't wait for Feng Lanzi to make a move, and he opened the last small bowl.
A small bowl of white rice was revealed, Bai Qian sighed, slightly disappointed, but Feng Lanzi clapped her hands and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Crab roe lion's head and red bean muffin are good, but they are just ordinary things, and this is a supreme treasure! ”
Bai Qian was puzzled and asked, "What is supreme, isn't this the rice that I eat every day?" ”
Feng Lanzi sighed: "Wrong, wrong, not bad, not bad......"
Bai Qian listened to him say something wrong and said good for a while, and she couldn't help but smile incoherently, only to hear him continue: "This rice is obtained from outside the customs in the extreme east, it is as bright as jade, the rice fragrance is rich, and what is even more rare is the hard work in it." It takes a whole hour to wash the rice that has been soaked in the mountain spring water for a day and a night, and it can only be done with the power of your fingertips to make each grain of rice eat through the water, so that the cooked rice is moderately soft and hard, and the grains are full. Then fry it with the chicken fat of the good Xinghua chicken, then add the chicken broth and roast it slowly in the red brick stove, and you have to keep turning the pot stove all the time. In this way, it will take half a day to cook this small bowl of rice, and you still say that it is not the best grade? ”
Feng Lanzi was still talking at length here, and Bai Qian over there couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and taste a small bite, sure enough, the mouth was full of aftertaste, the aftertaste was endless, the rice aroma of rice and the umami of chicken fat were intertwined, it was really an indescribable good taste.
When she reluctantly swallowed the last small bite of chicken rice and let it slide comfortably into her stomach, Feng Lanzi just finished the last word. Bai Qian burped contentedly, tilted her head and stared at him for a while, and suddenly said: "Feng Laosan, even if you rely on you, you can't say these words, to be honest, who made you say these bastard words?" ”
"Miss Bai is really a little smart, but what I, Feng Laosan, said is not a bastard, at most it is a bastard. You were arrested here, according to the meaning of the second brother and the fourth brother, you should be clicked, but the master and uncle just don't click, and they also give you food and drink, which is more careful than waiting for his mother. I went to ask the fourth brother, and he said that the uncle has no mother, so he will treat you as filial piety as a mother; I said that he had a dog's mouth, and I went to ask the second brother, and the second brother suddenly lost his temper and said that I was a fool, which I couldn't tell. I went to ask my uncle again, he was sitting on a big brocade chair, the back of the chair was still carved with Fushou cloud pattern, with a tube of Zihaohu pen, writing on the plain white dark pattern of Chengxintang paper, stroke by stroke, and then stroke by stroke, when he saw me come in, he hurriedly crumpled the paper into a ball, but I still saw ......"
"What do you see?"
"Hehe, I saw the round inkstone on his desk, contained in a sandalwood box, the stone was thin and pure, the box was densely engraved with inscriptions, and the end was a treasure inkstone, and I also saw ......"
"What do you think these useless people do? Okay, I'll just ask you, what did your uncle say to you? ”
"My uncle? Yes, he didn't call me stupid, he just said that these ingredients were not easy to come by, and asked me to persuade you to eat more, and asked me to give this to you......"
Feng Lanzi said, bent down and took out a crumpled piece of Chengxintang paper from the boot and handed it over. Bai Qian took it and unfolded it, only to see a few words written in rough strokes on it, which were from Qiao Xihai's handwriting:
"I sent someone to save me, and I lost my official documents; Upper beam columns, see the word to help the body. ”
Bai Qian flipped the piece of paper over and over several times, and there was nothing different except for these words. She read it silently a few times, and then read it backwards, reading it through the words, but she still couldn't guess the meaning, so she said to Feng Lanzi: "Feng Laosan, I'll tell you the truth, that big brother Han of yours didn't kill him, I haven't even seen him." If you don't believe me, you can kill me now, but it's okay, why bother with soup and rice, what kind of heart is it? ”
Feng Lanzi said with a happy face: "It's really not you?" That's fine, I told my second brother a long time ago, with your two hits, how can you hurt Brother Han Juzi? Seriously, if I give you a nice girl, I'm really a little reluctant! With that, he walked happily towards the door.
Bai Qian stayed in the room, thinking about Chu Jiangqiu for a while, and thinking about the old father for a while, he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't settle down.
Before dawn, the window was still clear and bright, and the jade was deep. Bai Qian woke up from her dream suddenly, and on the table of the Eight Immortals of Limu in front of her, a light flickered, swaying, as if she was still in a dream. This night, she didn't sleep peacefully, a figure, or familiar, or unfamiliar, or teeth and claws, or scratching her head and posing, like a ghost, came and went in front of her. When I woke up suddenly, I didn't realize that the cold sweat had soaked the thin clothes.
The doors and windows were closed, and not even a trace of wind could penetrate, but she still felt cold behind her, as if someone was blowing air into her collar. Bai Qian shuddered, her heart trembled, although she was extremely scared, she hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but look behind her.
In the shadowy lights, a man's face suddenly appeared on the window, his eyes sparkling, three points of desire, two points of greed, and the rest were hidden in the darkness, staring directly at the person in the window.
Bai Qian didn't look at it or care, this look made her frightened, Yurong had no owner, and in the scream, she hurriedly retreated. In the panic, she was at a loss, and she couldn't help but have a chair overturned, table tennis, and ping-pong, until she was tightly pressed against the wall, her heart palpitated, and after a while, she found her voice back, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, who are you?" Are you a human or a ghost? ”
