Gu Yu felt that his prince was a little unhappy, and said, "It shouldn't be." However, Chu Gongzi has often had new things here, and it is not surprising that Lin Xiuhan has been attracted to him. After all, he is the parent official of this Hui'an County.

It is said that a few days ago, he asked the imperial court for a reward for the carpenter Wang, who made the water wheel. This must be the credit that Gongzi Chu asked for. That Lin Xiuhan must have known Gongzi Chu for a long time. ”

Xiao Yilin knew Lin Xiuhan. Lin Xiuhan is the second son of the Lin family, a big family in the capital. He is also relatively famous in the capital, and he is a knowledgeable young man.

Gu Yu continued: "Although Lin Xiuhan is from the Lin family, there are many outstanding children in the Lin family, and the competition is fierce. It is said that this Lin Xiuhan was indifferent by nature, unwilling to compete with his brothers at home for the opportunity, and voluntarily left the capital to come to this relatively remote Hui'an County as the county commander. Judging by his behavior during this time in Hui'an County, he is still a good official. ”

Xiao Yilin nodded, "I hope so." With Lin Xiuhan's support, Gongzi Chu will be more stable here. ”

With Qiao Hong's brothers and sisters to help, Jing Yi cooked quickly. It didn't take long for the kitchen to waft a strong fragrance.

Feng Zhi sniffed, "Young Master Chu must be making braised pork again today." This Lord Lin is really a blessing, let Chu Gongzi cook for him to make good food. ”

Xiao Yilin frowned slightly when he heard this, and continued to read the book in his hand, but he couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin Xiuhan and Wang Xuhuai in the living room were also a little unable to sit still, it was too fragrant, and they didn't know what kind of dish it was, it must be meat.

Jing Yi is the first time to make sweet and sour pork ribs. Put the marinated pork ribs with soy sauce and other seasonings into the pot and fry them in oil to make them golden brown, then put all the pork ribs into the pot, pour in the water for marinating the ribs, a few spoons of sugar, a bowl of broth and boil over high heat, and then add half a spoon of salt to enhance the flavor. Then simmer on low heat for ten minutes and then reduce the juice on high heat, and finally add a spoonful of vinegar when collecting the juice, and the sweet and sour taste will come out. Sprinkle some chopped green onions when they are ready to serve.

The sweet and sour pork ribs are tender and tender, and the color of the finished dish is red and oily. Just looking at it makes people appetize. Jing Yi tasted a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, although it was not the best, but it was also delicious.

There are many people in the family, and there are several portions of this sweet and sour pork ribs, so Jing Yi also makes more. There are a lot of two pork ribs at home, and these two meals are finished.

The sweet and sour pork ribs were ready, and the braised pork was almost ready, and Jingyi began to fry other dishes. Finally, there is the pork ball soup.

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to clean up the table in the living room, and then began to serve the food.

One dish after another was served on the table, the aroma was fragrant, and Lin Xiuhan looked at the food on the table and had never seen it. He asked Village Chief Wang, who also shook his head, "It's also the first time I've seen these dishes." ”

Lin Xiuhan thinks that he has also seen the world, even he has participated in a lot of banquets in the palace, but he has never seen such dishes on the dinner table. Could it be that this is eaten by the countryside?

But looking at these dishes so tempting, and they are all meat dishes, how can they be eaten by countrymen? He knew that the peasants in the countryside could not eat meat more than a few times a year.

Could that be the specialty of Chu Gongzi's hometown? I don't think it's possible.

After the last meatball soup was served, Jing Yi arranged the meals of King Jing and the others before washing his face to accompany the guests.

Village Chief Wang pulled Jing Yi and said, "Jing Yan, what kind of dishes are these, I've never seen them, tell us quickly." ”

There was wine in the things sent by King Jing's Mansion before, and today Jingyi borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and took out an altar to entertain guests.

Jing Yi sat at the table and poured wine for Lin Xiuhan and Village Chief Wang and said, "This is all my own idea, this dish is braised pork, this is sweet and sour pork ribs, pot loin, mushu meat, and this is pork ball soup." Lord Lin, Uncle Wang, you try it to see if it's delicious. ”

Lin Xiuhan saw that the two of them were waiting to move their chopsticks, so he picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.

The pork ribs are tender and sweet and sour, and the aroma of the meat is so delicious. Lin Xiuhan felt that this was the most delicious dish he had ever tasted.

With the amazing pork ribs, Lin Xiuhan tasted the braised pork again, which was even more delicious. Lin Xiuhan felt that the meat he had eaten before was simply incomparable.

He tasted other dishes, and there was really nothing to say.

He looked at the young man in front of him with shining eyes, "Young Master Chu, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good." To be honest, I've never eaten such a delicious dish, and today was an eye-opener. I don't know why this braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs are this color? How can this meat be so delicious? ”

Jing Yi said: "This is because there is soy sauce in it, which is a kind of seasoning, and I made it myself." It is specially used for stewing meat and stir-frying. I can't cook without soy sauce in my daily life. ”

As soon as Lin Xiuhan heard it, he knew that people must have secret recipes, so he didn't want to ask more. After all, they created it themselves.

Several people in Xiao Yilin's room were also eating.

Feng Zhi said: "Today's meal is really sumptuous, it seems that Master Chu specially entertained Lord Lin. Young Master Chu also specially accompanied Lord Lin to eat, and he had never eaten with our prince. Let Lin Xiuhan take the lead. ”

As soon as Feng Zhi's words came out, Gu Yu felt that his prince was unhappy.

He glanced at Feng Zhi, "You can't stop your mouth if you eat." Lord Lin is the parent official of this Hui'an County, how can Gongzi Chu snub others. ”

Gu Yu gave his prince a bowl of meatball soup, "Lord, Gongzi Chu said that this meatball soup is very good, the meat is minced, it is easy to restrain it, you can eat more." ”

Xiao Yilin didn't say anything and continued to eat.

Lin Xiuhan had a full meal and felt that today was really worth the trip, tasting delicious food, opening his eyes, and learning things.

Before leaving, Lin Xiuhan advised: "Young Master Chu, thank you for your hospitality today, and let me taste a delicious meal." If you need anything in the future, just come to me. I am the parent official of Hui'an County, and I also hope that the people here can have enough food and clothing. I hope that Chu Gongzi's winter wheat can be successfully planted. ”

Sent Lin Xiu away, Han Jingyi continued to go to the field to watch the harvesting of vegetables.

When Xiao Zhen received Gu Yu's news, he sent someone to buy the leftover vegetables from Jingyi here in the name of a merchant, and then shipped them all to Fucheng.

This is also to protect the Chu family and prevent people from suspecting that the Jingwang Mansion has dealings with the Chu family.

The vegetables grown by Jingyi are also very good dishes to sell in the market, and they don't have to worry about selling.

Xiao Zhen was also very satisfied when he saw the dishes that were shipped back. He opened the letter from his own prince that he brought back, and the letter said that several people were very good in the Chu family. Seeing that his prince's health had improved greatly, Xiao Zhen was overjoyed. It was a wise decision to let his prince go to the Chu family to recuperate.

Xiao Zhen thought of the news he had just received today, so he wrote a letter, and then sent someone to the Chu family to send it to his own prince.
