Text Chapter 115: Delicacies from the mountains and seas
Hearing Du Yueniang say this, everyone hurriedly praised it.
"The eldest lady is still considerate and thoughtful, if the lord knows that the lady has such a heart, he will definitely be moved."
"Do you need the little ones to help you, do it, this kitchen smells of fumes, and it's not good for you to smoke it!"
Du Yueniang shook her head with a smile on her face.
"No, in the past, I used to make soup for my lord by myself, he liked the food I cooked, and this little thing is nothing.
She said so, and everyone had to extinguish their desire to help her and continue to be busy with their own affairs.
Du Yueniang rolled up her sleeves, and when Su Muwan saw this, she took water and asked her to wash her hands.
There was already a pot of boiling water on the fire, Su Muwan glanced at Qingfeng, and after seeing him nodding, she knew that this was the water he had treated.
She hurriedly opened the lid of the pot, and sure enough, in the hot air rushing to her face, she almost smelled a burst of medicine.
Seeing this, Du Yueniang knew that Qingfeng was really ready, so she took a big bowl of flour from the noodle jar, added some water to it, and kneaded it, looking even serious.
Although she hadn't done it for a few years, Su Muwan felt that her movements were very skillful, as if she had done it countless times.
After Du Yueniang finished the noodles, she threw them on the board, spread them into a thin sheet with a rolling pin, then picked up a knife to cut the noodles into thin noodles, and sprinkled some flour on them to prevent them from sticking together for a while.
She walked around twice on the floor where the ingredients were stacked in the kitchen, and from the pile of vegetables, fish, and meat, she picked out a few river shrimp, a large handful of mushrooms, and two eggs.
The servants in the kitchen saw her movements, and hurriedly couldn't help but say.
"Madam, the river shrimp was delivered in the morning, and now it is not very fresh, and the fishy smell is very strong, so you should change the ingredients!"
Du Yueniang shook her head, her face was very determined.
"It's okay, what your lord likes is this fishy smell."
When the people heard him say this, some of them were skeptical.
Du Hua has never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, how can he like the taste of this fishy and stale river shrimp.
However, he didn't dare to question Du Yueniang's words, after all, the two of them were husband and wife.
Du Yueniang picked the shrimp apart, took out the black shrimp line, and cut it into a cross knife on top of the mushroom.
She poured oil into the wok, waited for the oil to warm up, randomly put some green onions, ginger and garlic left over from cooking on the cutting board, stir-fried twice, and put the river shrimp and mushrooms together.
The river shrimp "Zla" into the pot, when the oil is hot, it turns red, but the fishy smell is getting stronger and stronger.
After seeing that the pot was almost stir-fried, she added a few large spoonfuls of boiling water from the pot next to her.
When the pot began to bubble, he put the noodles he had just cut into it and stirred it twice with chopsticks.
I also knocked two eggs into the pot, and after making it easy, I covered the pot and simmered for a while.
In the end, after Su Muwan saw that the noodles were almost ready, she took a large porcelain bowl and handed it to Du Yueniang, she directly started the pot and poured all the noodles inside into the bowl.
In this way, it is considered to be done.
The people in the kitchen originally thought that Du Yueniang would make some strange meals, but they didn't expect that she just ordered a bowl of noodle soup from time to time.
Will the lord really like such noodle soup? Many people thought in their hearts.
Su Muwan put the porcelain bowl on the tray and covered it with a lid to keep warm. I took a pair of bowls and chopsticks, put them next to it, and prepared to get up and go with Du Yueniang to deliver food.
But Du Yueniang stopped her and said, "Take another pair of chopsticks!" ”
Although Su Muwan was a little curious in her heart, she also took out another pair of dishes and chopsticks according to her words.
Du Yueniang also took a small plate of vinegar and put it on the tray, and the two left in a hurry.
Seeing them leaving, Qingfeng first poured out the remaining hot water in the pot while people were not paying attention, and then followed without hurrying.
When I arrived at the study, I saw that the door was just like Su Muwan expected, there were several guards guarding, and when I saw Du Yueniang, I hurriedly reported inside.
"Tell the master, the eldest lady is here!"
Du Hua was recording the silver tickets handed in by everyone today, these were accepted by him for himself, so naturally he didn't need to record them in the account book for Shangguan Qian to see, just need to record them in his own book.
He looked at the silver tickets in his hand, and his heart was very happy.
At this time, he suddenly heard the voice of the guard, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, wasn't Yueniang unwell, went back to rest, how could she suddenly come at this time.
Although he didn't know the reason, he still put away his things, asked the guards to let them go, and let Du Yueniang in.
As soon as she saw Du Hua, before he could ask his doubts, Du Yueniang explained herself.
"Master, I see that you only care about drinking tonight, and you haven't eaten any food, I'm afraid that you'll get hungry in a while, so I thought I'd give you a bowl of noodles with my own hands, and I want you to pad your stomach."
She looked at Du Hua's eyes, full of worry and concern, which made Du Hua feel warm in her heart.
"It's a bothersome lady, but you just tell your subordinates to do it, why do it yourself." ,
Du Yueniang smiled silently, and asked Su Muwan to put the tray on the table, just looking at him.
In fact, Du Hua didn't want to eat it too much, and in the morning, An Qinru was poisoned, which made him feel that something was wrong, so he was very uneasy, and he was a little worried about the problem of this meal at this time.
How could Du Yueniang not know his thoughts, so she asked Su Muwan to prepare two pairs of dishes and chopsticks just now, she walked to the table, opened the porcelain bowl, and said to Du Hua while holding out two bowls of noodles.
"Master, are you boring to eat alone, I'll eat with you, it just so happens that our husband and wife haven't eaten together for many years."
As soon as she opened the porcelain bowl just now, Du Hua smelled a very familiar smell in her memory, and shouted in surprise.
"Is this still the delicacies of the mountains and seas?"
Du Yueniang nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand and handed him a bowl, and put another bowl in front of her, no matter how Du Hua reacted, she smiled at him and opened her mouth.
"I'm hungry when I smell this, so I'll ignore the master and eat it myself."
After speaking, she picked up a chopstick noodle and put it in her mouth, and ate two or three bites in a row before putting down the chopsticks.
"Master, why don't you eat, I remember that you are always very hungry at night."
Seeing that she was eating sweetly, Du Hua dispelled his worries, and reached out to pick up the chopsticks and ate them.
As soon as the first bite of noodles reached his stomach, he said with emotion.
"I can't imagine that after so many years, the taste of your delicacies from the mountains and seas has not changed, just like what I used to eat."
He pointed to the river shrimp and mushrooms in the bowl with his chopsticks and spoke slowly.
"Back then, you and I were poor and couldn't afford to buy any good ingredients, so you put down a fishing net by the river every day, caught a few river shrimp, and went up the mountain to pick some fresh mushrooms, and took these two ingredients to make me a bowl of noodles every day."
"When I ate it in my mouth, I thought it was really delicious, and it was simply a delicacy that could not be compared to the delicacies of the mountains and seas in this world, so I called it the delicacies of the mountains and seas."
Du Yueniang smiled at him, as if she was also immersed in memory, with some tears in her eyes.
In the past, when Du Hua had not yet obtained fame, he often read until midnight, and the little food he ate at night had already been digested, so he was naturally hungry.
So at that time, Du Yueniang always got up in the middle of the night to make this bowl of delicacies and seafood noodles for him, pad his stomach, and with this bowl of noodles, he had the strength to read in the long night.
Later, after he became an official, he could be regarded as having eaten all the delicacies of the world and tasted the real delicacies of the mountains and seas, but he was not the person who was happy because of a bowl of noodles back then.
Du Yueniang knows this very well, so no matter how gentle her face is at the moment, and her eyes are like water, the only thought in her heart is to avenge her son.
"Master, take a look, I also put two poached eggs in your bowl, if this is placed in the year, it is also a treatment that can only be had during the New Year's holidays."
Du Yueniang pretended to be happy and said to Du Hua, Du Hua listened, and sure enough, she stretched out her chopsticks and pulled them into the bowl twice, and sure enough, she saw the two eggs she said.
He picked one up with his chopsticks, took a bite, and the soft yellow melted in his mouth at the end, just like his memory.
This familiar taste, in the middle of this somewhat chilly night, made Du Hua seem to have returned to the past, and there was a rare trace of guilt for Du Yueniang in his heart.
He looked at Du Yueniang's face in the candlelight and thought to himself.
This woman followed her when she was poor, but after she became famous, she was a little crazy because she was stimulated, and she ignored her for three or four years.
If you ask who is the most sincere to yourself in this world, I'm afraid she is the only one.
As for An Qinru, she married herself because it was the order of her parents, and because she was divorced in the capital, lost her reputation, and had no way out, so she chose herself.
Du Hua hurriedly finished eating the noodles in the bowl, then grabbed Du Yueniang's hands, and said with a very serious look in his eyes.
"Yueniang, I know your intentions, and I also know that Feng'er's death has hit you too hard, and it has really hurt you for so many years, but don't worry, I will definitely not give up on you in the future."
"If the wives and concubines who enter the door in the future have birth and raising, they will be hugged to you first, and they will be regarded as the two of us Feng'er, okay?"
Du Yueniang sneered in her heart, hugging herself?
Did he think that in this way he could forget the pain of losing his son? The children he had with others, she Du Yueniang was not uncommon!
All the children are not as sensible and obedient as their own Feng'er, but like this, he was wiped out by Du Hua's words. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
