Chapter 174: Satisfied
Xuan Mo was a little confused: "Master, what is the hot pot?" The subordinate looked at the magpie girl beside the lady and prepared a lot of meat dishes, but they were all raw. There is a stove around the middle, smelling spicy and fresh, which is very appetizing!"
"Curious?" Jiang Yan asked lightly.
Xuanmo chick nodded like pecking rice.
Jiang Yan finally got up, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you're curious, go and take a look!"
When he arrived at the Liangba in Beiyuan, Jiang Yan realized that Xuanmo's statement was not exaggerated. Far away, I smelled the smell of incense in all directions. I can't say what the specific dish is, but it is mixed with the strong aroma of oily spicy seeds and broth, the aroma of meat, and the aroma of vegetables, even people like Jiang Yan who are not greedy for appetite are also attracted.
Around the fireside, Xie Changyu was beckoning the magpie to put on the plate. Xu was outside, and her voice was twice as loud as usual: "No, no, no, stupid girl! The fat sheep roll should be placed like this, and your meat is thicker, and the taste will be better if it is thinner!"
The magpie wondered, shouldn't this meat be delicious in large slices? Seeing Jiang Yan coming, the magpie saluted excitedly: "Hello, Prime Minister!"
"Ahem!"
Jiang Yan clenched his fists to his lips, looked at Xie Changyu, and said word by word: "This is all for me?"
Xie Changyu listened to it and nodded with a smile: "When it comes to the winter solstice, every household used to eat mutton at this time of year, but it was nothing more than a few ways to do it over and over again. If you are tired of eating, no matter how good the taste is, it will not be satisfactory. I cook and eat around the fireplace not only with new ideas but also lively, and I can add whatever dishes I want!"
"Sounds good, is this what you thought for yourself?" Jiang Yan smiled, and his words were a lot softer.
"It's nature. Let's sit down first, let Xuanmo call Xuanyi too, and eat together to be lively!" "Unexpectedly, tonight should be the last night in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
When Xuanmo heard that his wife asked Xuanyi to come, he was very moved. Almost all of the concubines Jiang Yan married back before were the daughters of high-ranking and powerful eunuchs, and they didn't treat their subordinates as human beings at all. But Madame actually let them eat at the same table, and his first reaction when he heard it was to ask Jiang Yan with a sideways look.
"Madame, let's go and call Xuanyi. However, it is estimated that he will not be able to eat this hearth food like that. ”
Because of Xuanyin's matter, he was punished by Xuanyi, and Xuanmo was still very sad in his heart: "Master, let me try, I can see that Xuanyi is in a dull mood in the past two days." ”
Xuan Mo also felt that it was Xuan Yin's fault. Xuanyin has a small belly and chicken intestines, and he doesn't know the rules, and he should be grateful to Dade if he can be tolerated by the master once. However, not only did she not change, but she also made mistakes repeatedly, and a secret guard put her hand on her master and thought that she was superior, and she deserved to be expelled from Qingyun Pavilion.
From playing together since childhood, Xuanmo is unfair for Xuanyi.
After Xuanmo left, the magpie went to the dining room to help Ye He kill the fish, and after coming and going for a while, Xie Changyu and Jiang Yan sat down and roasted the fire by the fireplace.
"How did you come up with this recipe?"
Jiang Yan used to eat mutton soup feast in the northwest, which was slowly cooked by the stove fire, and the meat and all kinds of vegetables were neatly cut and placed on the plate, and the body was warm during the whole winter when he ate such a meal on the winter solstice.
But just like the red and oily spicy soup pot in front of me, Jiang Yan has really never eaten it.
"This is a friend's unique secret recipe~" Xie Changyu opened his hand to the side of his face, with a mysterious expression.
In fact, who else can she have friends besides Lu Wenjing?
It was also a winter day a few years ago, the little scholar disappeared, Xie Changyu was severely criticized by the eldest princess in the cold winter, and there was no comfort from the little scholar on the other hand, no one knew that she squatted in the small black house and cried for half a night.
In the second half of the night, she couldn't help but run away from home quietly to find the scholar. I didn't want the scholar to be found, so I met Lu Wenjing, who was drinking flower wine. As soon as he saw Xie Changyu's crying and swollen walnut eyes, he immediately sobered up, took Xie Changyu to the vacant Lu family's small house, and made her a meal with his own hands.
Originally, he was a headless and brainless person to play around casually, who would have thought that Lu Wenjing's brain circuit was so strange that he could come up with this kind of hearth hot pot to make Xie Changyu happy.
Later, Xie Changyu improved the taste by himself, and every year on the winter solstice, he would invite Lu Wenjing to the county lord's mansion to have a hot pot banquet around the hearth.
Jiang Yan was skeptical, but as long as she could say that it was for him, Jiang Yan was in a very good mood.
He may not have imagined that one day Lu Wenjing would show off the same approach in front of people. The 'friend' in Xie Changyu's mouth became a thorn in Jiang Yan's heart.
"Ready, master, fire!"
Ye He and the magpie man carried a deep bucket with a stack of plates stacked in it, and the meat and vegetables were abundant. When Xuanyi and Xuanmo came, the six of them just filled the fireplace.
Xie Changyu caught a glimpse of Xuanyi, and it seemed that Xuanyi's state was normal, but there was still an unconcealable pain in his eyes, which could be seen if he looked closely.
The red oil in the pot is boiling and bubbling, and the rich fragrance can't stop it.
Xuan Mo couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you want to put all the dishes in?" He really didn't know what a new way to eat, and he looked a little clumsy when he asked.
"No, let's cook the dishes first, like this mutton beef, which is as thin as silkworm wings, and it will be scalded directly in the pot, and it will be cooked quickly~ You see, just like this" Xie Changyu was in a rare mood, and he personally demonstrated that the scalded tender beef was sandwiched into the dish of Jiang Yan.
Looking at Jiang Yan's appearance of sitting like a mountain, Xie Changyu tilted his head and smiled: "Husband, the meat is in front of you, do you want me to feed you in your mouth?"
A cold person is just too sullen. Like a river banquet, he can hold a posture at any time, and when he encounters food, Xie Changyu can't bear it!
"How can you be a lady. As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yan picked up the pillar and ate it with the dipping sauce, until he swallowed the afternoon, nodded and said, "It tastes very good." There was softness and contentment in his eyes.
This is almost !! Xie Changyu felt a little proud in his heart.
Listening to Jiang Yan, a person who has no preference for food all year round, praised it, and the others couldn't be tempted, and they also followed Xie Changyu's example to pick up a piece of meat and blanch it in the pot.
The magpie was dumbfounded: "This is also so delicious! The slave maid is so big, and it is the first time to eat such delicious food." ”
"It's just a delicacy in the world!" Xuan Mo exclaimed, looked at his sluggish good brother, reluctantly cut his love, and put the second piece of blanched beef in the Xuanyi bowl.
At the beginning, Xuanmo and the others were still a little stiff, embarrassed to pick up more vegetables, and it didn't matter where they ate later, as if they had never eaten meat in eight lifetimes, they sent fresh meat again, which was satisfied.
Jiang Yan has been serving Xie Changyu dishes since he arrived.
"I'm full! I see how you eat it, is it not good?" Xie Changyu buried his head in eating meat the whole time, and Jiang Yan served her vegetables.
Jiang Yan smiled: "I'm already full, you have to eat more if you like to eat." He didn't say it, and he was satisfied to see that she was eating happily.
Today, all kinds of unhappiness are gone!
