Chapter 22: Cake and porridge

Sun Yunniang moved quickly, scalded the noodles and took a big tray into the teahouse, and two large bowls of red oil and intestine noodles were placed in front of Wei Wufeng.

If you haven't eaten well for many days, the fragrance will instantly make your fingers flutter.

She took down two more small plates from the tray and said with a smile: "Childe, there are two bowls of sweet soup and a plate of appetizers. ”

"Hey Mom, I'm afraid these are the side dishes in today's lunch, sure enough, the treatment of our old customers is different, hehe, thank you Sun Niangzi." Changshun's eyes lit up, and he took a sip, while not forgetting to stuff the copper coin to the other party.

Although Wei Wufeng was also hungry, he was not as gobbling up as his entourage, he still sat upright, mixing the noodles unhurriedly, blowing two mouthfuls slowly and methodically, and then savoring them.

In this way, in Sun Yunniang's eyes, it is extremely elegant and natural, and it is not pretentious at all, as if this is the nobility that comes with it in her bones.

She never thought that anyone could look so good when they ate noodles, and she didn't even dare to interrupt such a pleasing picture, so she left the private room lightly.

After a few bites of noodles, Wei Wufeng's body gradually warmed up, no longer as cold as before.

He sandwiched a small plate of appetizers - pickled cucumber, this food is not unusual, in Nanchu is just a cold dish of ordinary people.

Generally, it can be eaten by adding light soy sauce, vinegar, and minced garlic, and it is just eaten in summer to relieve the heat, and the taste is decent, and there is nothing special.

Just waited until the food was in his mouth, and then slapped himself in the face on the spot.

This taste is not at all different from other places, it can integrate salty, sweet, sour and spicy, and the taste is sweet and sour, crisp, and appetizing.

Salty and sweet, these three flavors are common, but the most puzzling thing is the "sourness" with a rich fruity aroma, and the "spiciness" that can't find the slightest trace of chili pepper on the plate.

He tasted it for a long time before he tasted the spicy nature of lemon and millet.

With this refreshing cucumber, the noodles were quickly eaten by the two of them.

Especially Changshun, he didn't even let go of the soup residue, so he almost licked the bowl with his tongue.

After eating, Wei Wufeng lifted the teacup, slowly took two sips of tea, and his eyes wandered to the two bowls of sweet soup again.

He doesn't have much of an obsession with sweets, and he doesn't eat much on weekdays.

But that time I met Sun Yunniang on Yuntai Mountain, and after eating the snacks she made, he actually subverted his views on sweets.

So his hand passed the sweet soup one step faster than he thought.

Let's take a look at this layer first, and the content is quite rich.

Preserved fruits, crushed peanuts, sugar, and sesame seeds are evenly sprinkled on the bowl, and in addition to the white sugar, there is also a layer of dark brown sugar solution, but it does not look like brown sugar.

There are also a few petal-like things on the sticky sugar solution, but they have been pickled and cannot be seen really.

When I put it forward, I sniffed it with the tip of my nose, and it was really a rich floral fragrance, which was really a sugar solution made from flowers.

Looking at the bottom soup in the bowl, it is translucent, it should be prepared in advance, and in the center of the sweet soup, there is a small round snow-white cake, but I can't see what it is made of.

He picked a corner with a spoon and sipped it in his tongue, and a mouthful of sweet rice spread to his taste buds.

Chewing it carefully, it looks like grinding glutinous rice into powder and steaming it, but it doesn't seem right, if it's just glutinous rice, wouldn't it have already solidified into a whole lump.

But this rice cake is clearly very loose and granular, it should be ordinary rice and glutinous rice ground and mixed together and steamed, so that it will have such a glutinous and non-sticky taste.

By the time he finished guessing the ingredients of the sweet soup in his mind, Changshun had already drunk the sweet soup and burped by the way.

The stomach was full, but the mouth was not full, his eyes glanced towards Wei Wufeng's bowl, and his hands were raised, as if he wanted to stretch out, "It's really delicious, Childe, I see that you don't move the spoon for a long time, are you not used to eating, why don't I help you eat?" Hey. ”

Wei Wufeng silently moved the bowl in front of him, and silently told the other party that there was no way.

In an instant, I slowly stirred the ingredients and water chestnut flour with a spoon, and the lotus-colored soup was mixed with the flower sugar solution, and gradually turned into a light caramel color.

A burst of aromatic flavor overflowed, and it was sweet and delicious in one bite, and the sweetness was not more than one point, not less than one point, just right.

After the rice cake is stirred, it becomes a grain like rice porridge, but it is not as thin as porridge, but soft and glutinous.

After a few more bites, the taste of the flower sugar solution gradually became clear, and it turned out to be made of roses.

He once ate a rare dessert in the palace, Rose Frosting, which tasted roughly like this.

It's just that Sun Yunniang's method of boiling sugar liquid is very rare in Nanchu, and compared with frosting, the sweetness of the sugar solution is also richer and not greasy.

After tasting a bowl of sweet soup, the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and the mouth, which was originally bitter due to loss of appetite, was instantly soothed, the spleen and stomach were satisfied, and the white and translucent face was visibly restored to a little blood.

Sure enough, going back to Qingyan Town was the right choice.

Xu was too satisfied, and when he came out of the teahouse, Wei Wufeng actually went to the other side to say thank you.

Shengsheng made Sun Yunniang and Changshun look like ghosts.

The son, who cherishes words like gold, took the initiative to step forward to thank him, which really makes people a little uncomfortable, could it be that the two of them have masochistic tendencies.

"Dare to ask Mrs. Sun, what is the name of that sweet soup."

Sun Yunniang only tasted the purpose of his thanks, it turned out that the glutton's curiosity was bursting, and he turned around to inquire about the recipe.

Instantly, his eyebrows and eyes narrowed with a smile, "It's called cake porridge." ”

……………………

On the second day, Wei Wufeng woke up when it was already three poles in the morning.

After many days of insomnia, I finally saw that my master was asleep, and Changshun and the two did not disturb him.

He sat up slowly and remained motionless, letting his black hair fall behind him, and his middle coat slept irregularly, loosening to reveal half of his smooth chest, which had a messy and charming beauty.

This Qingyan Town is so spiritual?

On the night I came back, the headache disappeared completely, and I was almost dreamless all night, and I woke up refreshed, so magical?

Or, it has nothing to do with Qingyan Town at all, and what does it have to do with it?

Wei Wufeng got up and got off the ground and began to organize his thoughts, he poured a glass of water from the kettle and drank it slowly, the cold water made his mind clearer and clearer.

Last month in Qingyan Town, he had two episodes of his old illness and then quickly improved, and there was any common reason for this.

Once when I just came to Qingyan Town to catch a spy, I was slightly injured and had a splitting headache, so I lay on the couch for two days and didn't go out.

One day, Changshun bought him a box of raw and appetizing food, and he was in good spirits in an instant.

Another time was Qingming, the day I went to worship my father-in-law, it seemed that I also ate some special food, and the depression was instantly dissipated.

The answer in my head is getting clearer and clearer.

What are those two foods – tofu fruit and Qingming ba?

Sun Yunniang.

Is it because of her?

Or, strictly speaking, eating the food she makes.

I see.

"Changshun, help me change my clothes and go find Mrs. Sun."

Changshun, who was guarding outside the door, was the second monk who was puzzled, he had just rested better, he should raise it for a few more days, what he wanted to eat, let him go to get the food box and find Sun Niangzi to pack, why did he have to go out.

After entering the door and listening to the master's brief ins and outs, it suddenly dawned on me.

It just so happened that he was in the market today, and he also wanted to help Sun Niangzi.

As soon as he arrived at Sun Yunniang's place, Chang started to fight neatly by the way.

Today's business is still very hot, and at the end of the day, after the noodles were sold out, Sun Yunniang picked up the seasonings on the stall, but a hand reached over and stopped her.

In an instant, Changshun's smiling round face suddenly appeared in her eyes, startling her.

"Lady, let's go with me to the other side first, my son-in-law wants to invite you over to discuss some things, after the discussion, I will clean up the rest when I go back, and make sure it is clean."

"Discuss things, what's the matter?" Sun Yunniang was a little confused in an instant, what can this noble son find her?

With a light in his mind, could it be that he wanted to ask her for that cake porridge? Seeing that he was so curious yesterday, maybe it was.

Changshun touched the back of his head, his expression was a little unnatural, and he didn't know if it would be abrupt to the little lady, but for the sake of the master, he had to give it a try with a cheeky face.

When the two arrived at the private room, they saw Wei Wufeng, who was sipping tea.

After only one night, the dark green around the man's eyes disappeared, and he returned to his previous face.

"Windless boy, his complexion is much better today, and the wind chill has healed so quickly." Sun Yunniang sighed, this energetic beauty is still better than the sick beauty.

"There's a lady's credit in it." Wei Wufeng's magnetic deep voice came.

A puzzle crossed her eyes, "Childe said and laughed, I'm not that Langzhong, how can I help you heal." ”

Seeing this, Changshun opened his mouth in a timely manner, "The lady doesn't know, the child's spleen and stomach are congenitally insufficient, and he grew up holding the medicine jar when he was young, and the appetizing and spleen-strengthening medicinal soup that the son has drunk is more than the food he has eaten, that is, because of this, the perennial appetite is not good, and the physique is getting weaker and weaker, so he will suffer from the wind and cold at every turn, and often cause some headaches and insomnia, alas~"

Sun Yunniang's pupils fluttered, and she looked at the eight-foot-tall young man in disbelief, Changshun was sure that this person was talking about?

Frail and sickly, congenitally deficient? Can you grow so tall?

This sounds more like a sick scholar with a weak willow and a bony body...

Wei Wufeng raised his eyelids a little hesitantly, and when he met the other party's undoubted eyes, his eyebrows couldn't help twitching slightly, and he held the teacup slightly unnaturally and took a sip.

"Uh... Don't look at the son, don't look at the son, he looks tall and mighty, but in fact, he is strong on the outside! ”

Before the words fell, Wei Wufeng's mouthful of tea almost squirted out when it reached his throat, but he still choked a little.

Unnaturally, he clenched his fist to his lips with one hand, and cleared his throat slightly, barely suppressing the discomfort in his throat.

Changshun seemed to be unaware, and hurriedly added oil and vinegar and said: "Lady, look at it, the son will often be choked by himself when he drinks water on weekdays, which is the weakness brought by beating the mother's womb." ”

Gradually, Sun Yunniang's skeptical eyes at first were replaced by a hint of sympathy.

It seems that this tall figure is really just due to genetic factors, and there is no direct relationship with the physique, and it is said that drinking water can often choke, I am afraid that it has something to do with brain function.

In her previous life, her grandfather was due to brain atrophy that caused the decline of various faculties, and he was often choked on food, but unfortunately this handsome boy was young, alas......

Wei Wufeng's body stiffened, and he seemed to sense the pity in the eyes of the woman next to him, so he could only lower the corners of his eyes and desperately suppress the evil aura in his eyes.

Changshun finally felt the looming anger on Gongzi's body, and quietly wiped a cold sweat sideways.
