Chapter 86: Paper-Wrapped Fish and Instant Noodles
Miss Qiu, there are two palace maids who want to see her. Mama Li shouted respectfully in the courtyard, Qiu Tian raised her eyebrows, "Who?" ”
She walked out slowly, and when she saw the embroidery girl and Qingfeng, she couldn't help but light up, "Why are you?" ”
"Slave embroidery girl, I've seen Miss!"
"Slave Qingfeng, I've seen Miss!"
The moment the two saw Qiu Tian, their eyes showed a hint of joy, but they were forced to salute her respectfully because Mama Li was there.
"Excuse me!" Qiu Tian glanced at Mama Li, "There's Mama Li!" ”
"That's what an old man should do." Mama Li nodded without a smile, but turned her head and said viciously: "The queen is merciful, remembering that the two of you helped the young lady in the inner court, so I asked you to come out." ”
"From now on, you are the people of the Pian Ran Palace, the people of Miss Qiu, you must be loyal and serve the master with all your heart!"
Qingfeng and Xiuniang immediately nodded their heads, and said in unison: "Yes!" Slaves and maids must obey the teachings of their mothers. ”
Mama Li was very satisfied with the two of them nodded, but this kind of painless beating was useless in Qiu Tian's eyes, she smiled lazily, "Mama Li, these two girls don't listen to me when you say that." ”
"Oh?!" Mama Li turned around and looked at Qiu Tian curiously, Qiu Tian pursed her lips and straightened her sleeves, "If you want to stay here, either be loyal to me, or leave now." It's not as simple as the inner court. ”
But how could the two of them, who had finally left the inner court, return to the inner court that was like hell, and they knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "The slave is willing to stay here and remember the teachings of the young lady." ”
"In that case, then I have a bad word at the head, if you can't be loyal to me, there is only one result." She paused deliberately, looking at the body language of Xiuniang and Qingfeng, "Chop off your limbs to make an adult, throw them outside the wilderness, let the wolves gnaw and bite, life is better than death." ”
Led by Mama Li, Qingfeng and Xiuniang, the three of them took a sharp breath of cold air when they heard it, and looked at Qiu Tian who was smiling but ruthless in horror.
In this regard, Qiu Tian smiled slightly and flicked his sleeves, "If you are loyal to the small kitchen, to me, and to the queen, the queen and I will definitely not let you down." ”
"Angelica, bring the sugar lotus seeds to Mama Li." Qiu Tian patted Li silently on the shoulder while instructing Angelica, "Mama Li, I made this sugar lotus seed newly, you can taste it, okay?" ”
Mama Li looked at Qiu Tian with a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, "Miss, the old man handed these two into your hands, and now I will go back to the Luxury Fragrance Hall to restore the queen's mother." ”
"Good!" Qiu Tian nodded, "Angelica, go and send Mama Li!" ”
Angelica immediately followed behind Mama Li with a cloth bag containing sugar lotus seeds, while Xiao Shizi and Shi Song looked at Xiuniang and Qingfeng intently, with doubts written on their faces.
But at this moment, a fragrance suddenly wafted from the small kitchen, Qiu Tian suddenly remembered his paper-wrapped fish, and shouted casually: "Get up!" ”
Xiaoshizi and Xu Song, who realized it later, slapped their thighs in horror and shouted, "Ahhhh ”
Qingfeng and Xiuniang hurriedly returned to the small kitchen after watching the threesome, and after looking at each other suspiciously and curiously, they got up and followed the three into the small kitchen.
It just so happened that they had just entered the small kitchen, and what caught their eyes was not only the clean and tidy kitchen, but also the neat and uniform tableware and layout, and even Qiu Tian and the other three surrounded the stove, but the air exuded a wisp of sauce, which made the two even more curious.
After the embroidery girl took the first step around the stove, she watched in disbelief as Qiu Tian gently scratched something similar to rice paper with a knife.
Suddenly, a thick sauce fragrance suddenly bloomed on the stove with the aroma of water mist, making people's facial features tense.
The aroma is sultry, but she is shocked by the visual impact of the ingredients and a strip revealed in this rice paper. The "sizzling" sound in her ears disturbed her thinking, "What is this?" ”
"Paper-wrapped fish!" Xiao Shizi explained excitedly, "This dish is a long-lost dish!" ”
Qiu Tian glanced at the little pebble that began to tremble, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "I didn't expect Xu Song to be so powerful, but listening to the steps I said, you can figure out a thing or two." ”
"The basics are really solid!"
But Xu Song, who was originally going to be happy, was nervous at the moment, for fear that he would spoil this winter plum carp, so he handed the chopsticks to him with trembling hands, "Master, you taste it!" ”
Qiu Tian turned his head to look at Xu Song, who was tense and nervous, like his former self.
As soon as she learned this dish, she was so frightened to let her adoptive father try it, but she didn't want her adoptive father to just think that the quality of the fish was not good, so she refused to try it, and said "Dogs don't eat it" to hit herself.
She took a deep breath, knotted her chopsticks, and watched the winter plum carp spit fragrant bubbles in the sauce, and her heart was also firm at this moment, and in the future, no one would suffer from what she had suffered.
The chopsticks gently landed on the back of the fish, which was very easy to overgrow, but the fish meat slipped off in the shape of fish scales at the moment when the chopsticks pierced in, and she gently picked up the fish, rolled it around in the scales of the winter plum carp that was fried until it was golden brown, and then exhaled lightly and sent it into her mouth.
The crisp and delicious scales of the fish are tied and dyed with a thick sauce that creates a strong impact on the melt-in-your-mouth meat, and the thick sauce awakens the sleeping taste buds.
Even though the plum carp is wrapped in a thick sauce in this winter, it can be sweet after tasting tea, and its fish meat secretly returns to the throat with a plum blossom aroma, which goes straight to the nose and lingers on the nose, washing away the sauce that the nose smells at the beginning.
The two extreme aromas make the whole body tense and relaxed, constantly wandering in stimulation and comfort, and this impact makes several other people can't help but moan.
Angelica, who had just come back and had not yet entered the small kitchen, was nervous, and when he hurried over, he saw Xiao Shizi and Xu Song sitting on the ground with a smirk, happily recalling the taste in his mouth.
And Qingfeng gnawed on the fish head fascinated, like a cat eating fish, and the embroidery girl was holding her body on the stove, obsessively tasting, but Qiu Tian sat indifferently on the side, made a pot of hot tea, and took a sip comfortably, "Are you back?" ”
Angelica nodded slightly, "Miss, what's wrong with them?" ”
"Drunk!" Qiu Tian's face flushed and said, "I can't imagine that this Huadiao wine is so strong, even if it has been boiled for so long, it can still be so charming." ”
"Drunk?!" Angelica looked at the three of them suspiciously, but after thinking about it, Qiu Tian's Huadiao wine was only used on paper-wrapped fish, and hurriedly ran to the stove to look at the remaining fish bones and side dishes of the winter koi, and screamed, "Ah-"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Xiaoshizi and Xu Song woke up and shouted, but they didn't want to be glared at by Angelica angrily, "Why did you finish eating while I wasn't there?" ”
"I also want to try this winter plum carp, and I also want to try this long-lost paper-wrapped fish, can't you keep me a little?" Angelica flattened his mouth in frustration and complained aggrievedly.
"Angelica, don't blame them! Blame me, I forgot to keep it for you. Qiu Tian glanced at the paper-wrapped fish that had been eaten and wiped clean, leaving only the fish bones and sauce, "Why don't I make you a bibimbap?" ”
"Okay!" Angelica sniffed, "But, Miss, can your body hold up?" ”
"Who called my angelica wronged?" She touched her wound, reduced her movements as much as possible, and put the noodles that had not yet been soaked in a pan and fried them over low heat until the dough was fried golden brown, then scooped up and drained the oil.
After that, the remaining sauces and garnishes from the pot were packed together with the dough cakes, and Angelica frowned as he looked at the hodgepodge.
"Okay?"
"Not yet!" Qiu Tian picked up the kettle and poured the hot water into the bowl, and suddenly, the sauce was washed away and soaked in the bowl with hot water, but Qiu Tian did not give this side directly to Angelica, but used another bowl to buckle upside down, and walked to the side and took two eggs, one fried into a golden scrambled egg, one fried into a tender and delicious sun egg, and then carefully poured it into the bowl, "Taste!" ”
Angelica looked at the simple noodles in her hand, her brows were still furrowed, but in order not to make Qiu Tian difficult, she still picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
The elastic noodles are stained with the thick sauce, as if there is a winter plum carp swimming in his mouth, bursts of thick sauce aroma and your special strange plum blossom fragrance, turned into two competing and cooperative forces in his body, and the aroma of wine, accompanied by the umami of golden eggs and the satisfaction of sun eggs, suddenly swept away the haze in her heart.
A simple bowl of noodles, but eating Angelica with a happy face, Xu Song seems to have found the meaning of cooking.
"Miss, I'...... Can you also have a bowl? Xiao Shizi licked his tongue greedily, Angelica glared at him viciously, and said categorically: "No! Are you young ladies and cooks? ”
Xiaoshizi was trained by Angelica to pout, "Aren't you ......?"
"Pebble, believe it or not......
"Alright! All right! Qiu Tian reluctantly came out and shrugged his shoulders towards Xiaoshizi: "Even if I want to do it, I can't help it." That's all this sauce is, and you can only make that bowl. ”
"Angelica, after eating, you follow me to the library pavilion." She glanced at Angelica, Angelica nodded hurriedly, watched Qiu Tian leave the small kitchen, and finally glared at Xiaoshizi viciously, this look was fierce and bloodthirsty, as if he was going to kill him in the next second.
Xiaoshizi was so frightened that he hurriedly found a reason to escape.
"I'm going out to chop wood!" Without waiting for anyone to agree, he left the small kitchen with an arrow, and Xu Song pointed to the wood that looked like a hill, "Isn't this just finished?" ”
"You're going to fetch water?"
"Let's go!" Qingfeng and Xiuniang recommended themselves and reiterated again: "Let's go to fetch water!" ”
Xu Song looked at Angelica, Angelica nodded, tilted his head to look at the two people who left with wooden barrels, and muttered to himself: "There are so many people now, aren't they just many incense burners and ghosts?" ”
"What?" Xu Song was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qiu Tian puzzled, "Angelica, what did you say?" ”
"Nope!" Angelica replied coldly, then put down the bowl of clean noodles and left, leaving Xu Song alone to clean up in the small kitchen.
