Five hundred and forty-eight: small talk

Jia Jing just ordered a few people to go to the kitchen to say something, basically saying that Hou Ye wanted to eat, so the kitchen knew what to prepare.

When the mother-in-law went to the kitchen and told Sister-in-law Liu that she wanted the Hou Ye to use it, Sister-in-law Liu knew what to do, but the mother-in-law told her: "Add a few more side dishes to clear your mouth, and have a small bowl of beef stewed meatballs with Ulva vegetables, preferably with crab roe or something like that." ”

When Sister-in-law Liu heard this, she said, "This is not like the mouth of the Hou Ye!" As he spoke, he said with some gossip: "What? In which girl's room did Master Hou eat? ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "You are really amazing, Hou Ye went to Miss Lin's room early in the morning, and it is estimated that it will be used with Miss Lin." ”

Sister-in-law Liu pursed her lips when she heard this, and couldn't help but be a little self-conscious: "How many years have I been serving Master Hou?" I don't know what kind of flavor Hou Ye has? Hou Ye can't get used to eating this clear mouth, and in the past, he didn't eat these even for breakfast, I guessed which girl wanted to eat! ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Master Hou has ordered, let you estimate by yourself to fill two dishes for Miss Lin, and you want to taste it with Miss Lin." ”

Sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but smack her lips when she heard this: "Otherwise, everyone said that Hou Ye loves Miss Lin, and I haven't seen Hou Ye take care of any girl in this regard!" Baba also instructed us, even my own sister may not have this dignity! ”

A cook smiled when she heard this: "This sister, can you compare with your sister?" Who in these two mansions doesn't know about Hou Ye and Miss Lin? Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the left and right were their own territory, and it was estimated that no outsiders would come, so it was inevitable that they would be a little arbitrary.

Sister-in-law Liu smiled and said, "Miss Lin is not easy to serve, since she ordered it, then I will stew it myself." As he spoke, he put down the work of the other girls in his hand and began to prepare Daiyu's beef stew with Ulva vegetables.

The more flavorful the dish, the more niche and delicate the dish, the more attention is paid to the technique, because if you can't bring out the umami of the ingredients themselves, and use a few spices to make a continuous texture, it will completely become tasteless white water.

On the contrary, it is the kind of heavy northern cuisine that Jia Jing loves, the northern cuisine represented by Shandong cuisine, which opens and closes, and even Sichuan cuisine, which can bring people more intuitive stimulation and satisfy people's appetite for the tongue heartily.

Basically, they are more approachable and more acceptable to eat in the market, but they don't need too complicated means to do, and they don't need any precious ingredients, it's simple, but it's also the joy of the world!

Although Daiyu is thin and weak, she doesn't seem to eat much on weekdays, but that's just because she is not in good health so she has a bad appetite, in fact, Daiyu is also a "glutton" who can eat deliciously, the food is not good, and she will lose her temper if it is not in line with her taste!

On the contrary, Jia Jing is a self-proclaimed foodie, but he can stuff any cuisine into his mouth indiscriminately, although he can eat it, but he doesn't pick it, he can eat it at the imperial banquet, and he also eats the roasted mutton soup of the civilians in the market............

So for Sister-in-law Liu, these cooks, Master Hou is easy to deal with, but Miss Lin has to be careful and careful! If she doesn't eat a bite and returns it, the old lady and the Hou Ye have to punish them!

Therefore, Sister-in-law Liu stopped what she was doing, and began to ponder Daiyu's beef stew with Ulva and vegetables, and beat the beef into foam with fine hands, mixed with various seasonings.

Shui Ling's lettuce is steamed in a small steamer with duck soup first, and when it is semi-soft and not rotten, the veins are picked out, cut it finely, and then roll it again with ham and sour bamboo shoot soup.

The beef balls here are soaked in boiling water, and then used the boiled old hen soup to make a low first into the beef balls to cook the taste of beef, and then into the wild mushrooms, wolfberries, jujubes and other things, and finally spread the lettuce on top before leaving the pot.

With only such a small bowl, Sister-in-law Liu was busy for almost half an hour! The things on the side were also prepared, so they all packed up and packed the lunch box and asked someone to send it to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

At this time, Daiyu also cleaned up, just used the meal, Jia Jing sat down unceremoniously to the main seat, Daiyu didn't care, just sat with him on the side, and Zijuan on the side came up to serve soup for the two.

Jia Jing rubbed his palms, this meal is still very rich, the soup is beef balls stewed with lettuce, as well as rouge goose breast, fried bamboo shoots with bacon, crystal elbow sprinkled with soy sauce, sugar steamed hawthorn mixed with lotus root slices, steamed chicken with milk, plus a small jar of blue stem porridge, only Jia Jing and Daiyu, basically enough to eat.

The two used a small bowl of soup, and Daiyu was in a good mood and seemed to have an improved appetite, so after using a small bowl of beef stew with Ulva vegetables, she actually added a small bowl of blue stem porridge.

Jia Jing smiled and said, "Well, five-spice kohlrabi mixed with sesame oil vinegar." Hearing this, Daiyu frowned slightly and shook her head, "Hmm!" He refused, and then said to Jia Jing with a disgusted face: "Who wants to eat this thing?" Salty and fishy ............"

Jia Jing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he remembered that Daiyu seemed to have eaten this thing once in the original book?

But in fact, when he looked at the original, he was very puzzled, Daiyu, a lady from the south, how could she like to see this is the market food in the northern courtyard? In addition, it is mixed with dried shrimp and seaweed, which looks very average............

So Jia Jing also deliberately "improved" this time, mixing kohlrabi with sesame sauce, drizzling sesame oil and vinegar on the outside, the standard Qianlong cabbage method, such a small dish is only served!

At this time, Daiyu's rejection of "Qianlong cabbage" also confirmed that Daiyu could not like the five-spice kohlrabi mixed with sesame oil vinegar shrimp and seaweed!

This kind of food, no matter how you look at it, is what the ordinary people in the courtyard of the capital at the bottom love to eat............

Jia Jing was stunned for a moment and then understood, looking at the eighty episodes written by Cao Gong in the first eighty episodes of Dream of Red Mansions, almost all the delicacies that appeared were delicious and made the mouth water! And what about the last forty episodes that the author wrote? It's either fire meat and cabbage soup, or spiced kohlrabi!

Why?

Because both of them have lives! Cao Gong really enjoyed this kind of food, he lived a noble life of Zhong Mingding's food, he really ate the complex and exquisite food of eggplant, he can naturally write it.

But the one who continues the book makes a living by renewing books for people and writes for a living, how can he have eaten the food of the gentry class? How is it possible to know what sour bamboo shoot chicken skin soup tastes like? Then you can only write about what you think is the best to eat............

Obviously, the food of the people in the courtyard of the Qing Dynasty was almost all simple dishes with this kind of ruthless and heavy taste, which could provide energy for manual labor while carrying hunger.

And for a Jiangnan woman like Daiyu, who is still a woman from an official family, it is impossible for her to like to eat these foods with heavy tastes! Even if Jia Jing has improved it, it doesn't match her appetite!

But Daiyu looked at Jia Jing and seemed to be in a daze, thinking that it was because she rejected the "food" he carefully prepared that made him a little sad, Daiyu thought about it, and still took a small piece and sent it to her mouth.

This is improved by Jia Jing, but it uses sesame paste and sesame oil Zhenjiang's balsamic vinegar, so it is not particularly salty, but the sweetness of kohlrabi has eased a little, and Daiyu can barely accept it.

Jia Jing saw Daiyu frowning slightly, and couldn't help but laugh: "This is eaten with porridge, how can you eat it with an empty mouth?" If you can't get used to it............"

Daiyu said as if she didn't care: "It's okay, it's not particularly unpalatable." Saying that, he took a sip of porridge with an expressionless face, obviously being scolded, and Jia Jing couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Daiyu glared at him angrily, and then hurriedly scooped two spoonfuls of porridge and pressed it, feeling the taste in her mouth a little bit before saying to Jia Jing: "Is the second brother going to go with me to greet the ancestor in a while?" ”

Jia Jing stuffed a piece of goose breast into his mouth, shook his head and said, "It's too late, I have made an appointment with someone outside, I have something important to discuss, you can say hello on my behalf." ”

Daiyu nodded, and then said with some concern: "Although I can't go this time, I should always find a time to talk to my ancestor." Jia Jing glanced at her and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Daiyu sighed helplessly and said, "What's wrong with you still asking me?" What did you do yourself, you don't know? Jia Jing looked at Daiyu in a daze, and Daiyu said helplessly and funny: "You gave Baoyu a look at the door, and I don't know how clearly I can see it with so many people coming and going............

Jia Jing pursed his lips nonchalantly and said, "That's what he should beat!" Daiyu snorted and said, "He should be beaten, can you beat him in front of so many people?" ”

Jia Jing stopped talking, Daiyu looked at him and frowned slightly and said: "Although you are an elder brother, don't say that you beat him, even if you tell him to do anything, it will be done, but it's just ............."

Daiyu put down the spoon and persuaded bitterly: "Brother, after all, you are separated from that side by layer, the old lady tells you to scold him as much as you want, but it is to give you decency, and you don't really beat him and scold him, even if it is his, you have your own uncle and aunt over there to discipline, why do you bother to do it, make people feel uncomfortable............

Jia Jing is not soft and hard, Daiyu can persuade him like this, it is definitely not most cases, if it was usual, Daiyu would have been angry with herself! Isn't it because I'm afraid I'll really annoy myself if I'm so obedient this time?

Jia Jing laughed, Daiyu saw him laughing and thought he was laughing at himself, so he couldn't help but blush, his eyebrows were upside down, and he said to him in an unkind tone: "I kindly persuaded you, but you treat me as a joke!" ”

Saying that she was about to drop the bowl and get up quickly, Jia Jing saw this and hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Where am I laughing at you?" I'm just happy! Good sister, don't really leave! Otherwise, I will go for a while, and I don't know when I will see you again, so how can I talk about it well? ”

Daiyu looked back at him, but she was actually reluctant to let him go, so she snorted arrogantly, and sat down quietly............

He just saw Daiyu persuading him so hard, as if he was like Baochai, and Baochai often persuaded him to talk small and talk like this, try to satisfy Jia Jing's machismo feelings, and try to show his advantageous image of being a virtuous helper.

I didn't expect Daiyu, who has always been arrogant, to be able to persuade herself like a little daughter-in-law one day, it seems that people really won't be immutable forever, even if it is a soft and weak young girl, there will be a day when they become mature and realistic............

Daiyu looked at Jia Jing with a little disgust and said, "What are you doing?" laughed so ............ "Daiyu wants to say lewdness, but she thinks this word is really bad, how can she be a little lady who can say such a word?" What a Amitabha! It must have been taken by some people!

Jia Jing smiled and said, "I'm thinking that you're right, you're right!" I'm up to you for everything! Daiyu listened to the last sentence, her expression softened slightly, and she snorted: "I don't mean to harm you, isn't it all for your good?" ”

There are almost no blood relatives on Jia Jingning's side of the mansion, only Jia Qiang is left, and they are not very familiar with each other and do not have much contact, if they are really separated, they are not really blood relatives by generation.

People can't live in this world alone, even if they can rely only on themselves in terms of ability, there should be a harbor in their hearts, otherwise wouldn't they live as a lone husband?

So Daiyu didn't want Jia Jing to fall out with Xifu, obviously she herself had forgotten that she was also a person from Xifu, and she was already looking at the problem from Jia Jing's perspective everywhere, and everything was in Jia Jing's interests first.

Jia Jing also understood Daiyu's thoughts, so his heart was also warm, and he couldn't help but look at Daiyu smiling, Daiyu was a little embarrassed by his laughter, so he turned around and said, "Don't just laugh!" Although the old lady didn't say anything about you, Baoyu didn't do it, but in the end, Baoyu, the old lady has been in pain for so many years, and you beat him in front of so many people, does the old lady still have a little bit of guilt in her heart? ”

Jia Jing nodded in a deep voice, and then arched his hand to Daiyu and said, "Taught!" Daiyu glanced at him angrily, and then said, "I'm going to talk to the old lady!" Explain, the old lady feels better, isn't it? ”

Jia Jing sighed and said, "Okay, how about going to you when I'm done with the outside business?" Daiyu snorted and said, "That's pretty much it............ It's not looking for me, it's going to talk to the old lady! ”

Jia Jing nodded again and again: "Okay, good!" It's all up to you, it's all up to you! Daiyu snorted and said, "Not only for yourself, but also for the ancestors, don't be angry with her!" ”

Jia Jing nodded again and again, and then Daiyu said: "The house over there has been very busy these days, and you have such a file with Baoyu, although he lent the baby out randomly, but in the end, it is someone else's business, don't get pregnant with your love with the old lady because of this............"

Hearing this, Jia Jing said slightly strangely: "Busy? What else can Xifu be busy with? Daiyu blinked and said, "You don't know? Xifu's big sister is going home to save her relatives. ”

Jia Jing was stunned when he originally scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to his mouth, and Daiyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw this: "Maybe you've been too busy lately, so the old lady didn't tell you." ”

Jia Jing drank the porridge in the spoon with a normal expression, and then scooped the porridge in the bowl and said to Daiyu, "Really? What kind of pro do you want to save at the end of the day? ”

Daiyu thought for a moment and said: "It seems that I heard that His Royal Highness the King of the Valley is going to the south, so His Majesty asked him to send the eldest sister back to live for two days, it is estimated that before His Royal Highness the King of the Valley comes back, the eldest sister will live at home............"

Jia Jing's eyes straightened slightly when he heard this, and Daiyu saw him in a daze, so she couldn't help but stop and ask him, "What's wrong with you?" Jia Jing came back to his senses and looked at her and said, "Huh? Oh, nothing ............."

Daiyu only thought that Jia Jing was distracted, and she didn't say anything, but said: "So you have to come back early, the old lady may think that you are busy and didn't tell you about it, you can't help but ask." ”

Jia Jing smiled and nodded without saying anything, and then said as if thinking of something: "The eldest sister is coming back to save her relatives, hasn't the second uncle come back yet?" ”

Daiyu shook her head and said slightly confused: "I haven't heard when my uncle will come back, it seems to be because it has been raining for the past few days?" So even if the exam is over, the paper has not been reported to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and the uncle will not be able to come back. ”

Jia Jing looked at her slightly shocked and said, "You know this?" Daiyu glanced at him and smiled: "Who do you look down on?" Jia Jing smiled and said, "I almost forgot, my uncle is still Tanhualang!" ”

Daiyu couldn't help but smile when she heard him mention his father with admiration, Jia Jing pondered for a while and said, "Then Huan'er probably didn't come out with a result?" ”

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, she really hadn't paid much attention to Jia Huan's affairs, and when she heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "It should be......... Is it not? Otherwise, if the list was released, the family should have sent someone to see the list. ”

Jia Jing drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, smiled at Daiyu and said, "Then ask my sister to inquire for me, and ask Huan'er how she is now, and when will the list be released." ”

Daiyu actually likes this kind of conversation between husband and wife, the man is going out to do things, and he gets rid of his wife to deal with some family affairs............

Giggle! Shameful!

Daiyu held her cheeks with her hands and rolled her eyes and smiled: "I don't care about your things, but I am the one who commanded me!" ”

Jia Jing got up and smiled: "Isn't this that you are more idle at home?" Besides, I'm relieved to ask you to do something, ask our sister about it, she should always know about her brother's situation. ”

Daiyu also got up and said with a smile: "Okay! Don't I know? Do you want to teach me? If you're so worried, you can do it yourself. ”

Jia Jing smiled, the attacker on the side smiled and stepped forward to hand over the hot towel, Jia Jing wiped his mouth and hands, and said with a smile: "I'll come back as soon as possible, there are not many things, and it is estimated that it will not take long to deal with the things over there." ”
