Chapter 250: Oyster Fried
The dark basement, damp and smelling of decay mixed with blood, the only light coming from two blowholes less than the size of a fist.
Shangguan Xinghe, who was dressed in white and immaculate, sat on the chair in the middle of the secret room, half of his face was shrouded in darkness, and even the half that could be seen clearly looked very gloomy, "She has already entered?" ”
"I went in, but it didn't go well." The man in black, who was kneeling on one knee with his head down, whispered, his voice sounding a little dull because his face was still covered with a black scarf.
Shangguan Xinghe half-closed his eyes, "Let's talk about it." ”
"There was a big man who used to follow Princess Changning to kill her on the spot, claiming to avenge the princess."
"Oh?" Shangguan Xinghe opened his eyes suddenly, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, "What else?" ”
"There is also an old man who claims to be the housekeeper of the palace, and it is he who stopped the big man and saved Huyan Suxin."
"They know?"
"My subordinates don't think so." The masked man is purely matter-of-fact, "That old man was yin and yang from the beginning, and he wanted to drive Yan Suxin away several times, but he seemed to be quite unkind to see her. ”
"Don't want to see her? Then why did you let her in again? Shangguan Xinghe asked coldly, his voice still hoarse as usual.
She used an excuse that she had something important to discuss with the old man.
"Do you know what it is?"
"They didn't talk until they entered the door...... Subordinates are incompetent and unable to listen. The masked man remained on his knees with his head down, not daring to look up.
"The palace is heavily guarded, and I won't blame you if I can't get in." Shangguan Xinghe's voice was flat, and he couldn't hear his joy or anger, "After Hu Yansuxin goes back, find a time to bring her to see me." As he spoke, his eyes sank, "In addition, inform everyone in the ambush that the next step will be started from now on, and everything that should be done will be carried out according to the plan - in case of resistance, it will be killed." ”
"Yes!"
……
"Daughter-in-law, get up!"
Early in the morning, Jiang Fenghao's smiling voice came from the Warm Spring Pavilion, with a little triumphant, "What do you want to eat today?" I will do it for you. ”
He's the new good guy of the family cook, and he's absolutely responsible and competent.
He Xiaoqiao opened his eyes and looked at him for a while, habitually reached out and pushed away the big face he had brought up, and then pulled the quilt to cover his head - continue to sleep!
Jiang Fenghao continued to get up without giving up, "Lady, daughter-in-law, the sun is drying your buttocks, get up quickly!" As he spoke, he probably felt that the temptation was not enough, so he added, "Take you to eat delicious food for your husband!" ”
Secretly picking a slit in the quilt, He Xiaoqiao reflexively turned his head and asked drunkenly, "What's delicious?" ”
"What kind of oysters did you ask your husband to find, now you have found them."
"Found it?" He Xiaoqiao opened his eyes suddenly, and was about to sit up as soon as he turned over, but he forgot that he still had a big belly, and as soon as he raised his head, he fell back like a turtle that had turned over its shell.
Jiang Fenghao tried his best to restrain his smile, but unfortunately the corners of his mouth were still open, and he hurriedly reached out to help her, "Lady, tap and light, take your time." ”
He Xiaoqiao glared at him faintly, not to mention the resentment in his eyes.
If she hadn't conceived a baby for him, would she have had such a hard time?
"Where's the thing? When will it be delivered? ”
Oysters are the meat of oysters, rich in nourishing ingredients, boiled in oil, dried or boiled and fried. The pregnant woman was greedy, thinking of the taste of charcoal-grilled oysters, He Xiaoqiao felt that her saliva was about to fall.
Jiang Fenghao reached out and rubbed her round cheeks on both sides, squinted and smiled, "I knew you were in a hurry, and after you found it, I sent someone to send it overnight, and now it has been delivered, just outside." ”
He Xiaoqiao didn't even bother to change his clothes, after sitting up, he casually pulled a piece of Jiang Fenghao's robe and put it on, and ran out with his bare feet and hair scattered.
Fortunately, Jiang Fenghao had long been accustomed to her big grinning temperament, shook his head, slowly picked up his shoes and went out behind her.
The yam in the courtyard had just arrived, and when he saw He Xiaoqiao, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Princess, morning." ”
"Early." He Xiaoqiao waved his hand at her casually, his eyes wandered around the yard, and soon found a wooden basin the size of a bathtub in the corner.
The wooden basin was sparkling, and most of the stones were sticking out of it, and the surface of the dried stones showed a kind of green gray unique to aquatic plants.
When you walk in, you can see the gray-white oysters attached to the stones under the water, densely packed. It's a pity that the size is not big, just looking at the shell, most of them are only half a finger long.
But then again, February is the fattest time for oysters, and it's not in season anymore, so it's good to have such a good quality.
"How?" Jiang Fenghao walked over, shook off the cloak in his hand and put it on her, and then motioned for her to quickly put on her shoes, "But you can see clearly, it's this thing, right?" ”
He Xiaoqiao, who had fully sobered up, smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, grabbed his arm and nodded violently like a chicken pecking rice, "That's right, that's it!" ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of sending the whole reef together?" ”
Fill the sea water with ice in large wooden barrels, then fill the reef full of oysters and send it all the way to the palace – to be honest, it's a bit of a big job.
Fortunately, she also knew that the seaside was not too far from the capital, otherwise she wouldn't know how many people and horses she would have to get tired of this trip - anyway, why didn't she think of going to the beach for a walk when she was on her honeymoon? I don't know how many good things I can find, and I don't have to waste money and money.
You must know that life has to go on, and it is not easy to make money!
Jiang Fenghao touched his chin, raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously, "Isn't this the only way to keep the original?" ”
"......" is so original, you win!
I don't know if the oysters here are the same as the world she lived in in her previous life, but the things have already been delivered, so let's try them first, and then go to the beach to see them.
Aquatic products have high requirements for the environment, even if Jiang Fenghao ordered people to add ice all the way to preserve the freshness of the oysters, but in the end the transportation is not convenient, bumpy on the road for a day and a night, when the things are delivered, those oysters on the stone have died seventy-seven, eighty-eight.
If the seafood is not fresh, it is common to eat a bad stomach, and it is not uncommon to lose your life.
He Xiaoqiao didn't dare to joke with his and Jiang Fenghao's lives, so he could only try to pick something that looked relatively fresh. After breakfast, summoned Leng Ling and Yam, carefully pried the oyster shells with a dagger in hand, and worked hard for a long time to find a small pot.
Because oysters are small, it is estimated that it is not enough to make charcoal-grilled oysters, so in desperation, He Xiaoqiao thought of another way to eat, that is, to make oyster branding, which is also called oyster fried.
Rinse the oysters with clean water, remove the shell fragments and drain the water.
Add water to the tapioca flour and mix thoroughly, pick fresh shallots and cut them into granules, stir well with the shrimp powder that acts as monosodium glutamate, and set aside, it would have been better to add some fish sauce, but because there is no finished product at present, I had to give up first.
He Xiaoqiao plans to wait for the birth of the child and go to the beach to see if he can get some oyster sauce and fish sauce, even if he doesn't do business, it will be excellent to bring it to his own family.
While thinking, his subordinates kept stuffing firewood into the stove, and when the pot was hot, they added a little lard made with fatty meat earlier to prevent it from sticking to the pot, and mixed the washed oysters together with sweet potato flour and eggs into a pulp, mixed well, took a spoonful of a large iron spoon, and spread it directly into the pot into a round cake.
The fire on the stove was blazing, and a large piece of oyster roast quickly took shape. Use the remaining egg wash to pour it on the side, spread the chili sauce and sprinkle with chopped coriander to enhance the flavor, then shovel it in half with a shovel, turn it over and continue to fry until it is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
After the pot is hot, dip a little garlic chili sauce or fish sauce before eating, the entrance is delicious and crispy, crispy but not soft, coupled with the fierce fire and thick oil to start the pot quickly, the oyster meat inside has not been destroyed too much, all of them are white, tender and juicy, and you can feel the original flavor of the freshness with every bite.
The first oyster was quickly wiped out as soon as it was put on the table, of which Jiang Fenghao took most of it, and He Xiaoqiao was responsible for the rest. Leng Ling and Yam could only watch from the sidelines and swallow their saliva.
He Xiaoqiao is not suitable for standing for too long with a big belly, so after demonstrating it, the rest of the work will be taken over by Jiang Fenghao, who loves his wife.
Leng Ling and the two of them had a chance to feast on their mouths - of course, the first result Jiang Fenghao made still belonged to the husband and wife, and it would be their turn in the future.
Because it was lunch, for fear of not being full, He Xiaoqiao later cooked a large portion of dry fried Niuhe, and served a crockpot of white porridge and pickled radish to relieve greasyness.
The group sat down in the peach forest to eat happily.
He Xiaoqiao was already full after eating two pieces of oysters, and he was getting tired of white porridge with pickled radish at the moment. gnawed and gnawed, and suddenly remembered his past life.
Before the crossing, her family lived not far from the seaside, when she was a child, her mother often made oysters for their siblings to eat, sometimes oysters and shrimp were too expensive to buy, so they used loofahs and other vegetables instead, which tasted the same fragrant and crispy, making people have an endless aftertaste.
Now that I think about it, it was the happiest time I can remember.
It's a pity, but there is no going back.
Jiang Fenghao shook his hand in front of her, "What are you thinking?" ”
He Xiaoqiao was a little stunned, glanced at him sideways, and just found the worry flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but blame himself a little in his heart.
Yes, even if she can't go back, she still has Jiang Fenghao and their children with her.
"It's okay, I'm just trying to make some flavor of mooncakes," squinting and smiling at him, resting his head on his shoulder like a child, He Xiaoqiao said in a relaxed tone, "It should be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, right?" We have done it in previous years, and this year is no exception. ”
"It's okay, as long as you don't get tired of yourself." Speaking of this, Jiang Fenghao suddenly remembered something, grabbed her hand and squeezed it, and looked at her cautiously, "Lady, we may have to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace this year, you ......"
"Are you going to the Mid-Autumn Banquet?"
"That's right."
Jiang Fenghao nodded, and was about to explain to her, but he didn't expect He Xiaoqiao to be unusual, and he responded very simply, "Okay!" ”
Last year, her name was not right, and she didn't want to get involved because she was unfamiliar with her life, but this year she has been promoted to the real Princess of Changning, so there's no reason to hide every day and not go out to meet people, right?
Even if Jiang Fenghao doesn't mind, it is estimated that the Queen Mother is not easy to explain, and it is not that she can't see people, why do you keep hiding in the house? has been married for so long, and even the baby is about to pop out, and it's time to go out and recognize the relationship between people and Lala.
The relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, and if you accidentally stand in the wrong line, you will have a cup, know a few more people, learn more about the situation, and sometimes leave yourself a way out - since you are already married to Jiang Fenghao, even if you can't be his virtuous helper, you can't hold others back, right?
"But you'll have to keep an eye on me then, or I'll get lost." The palace is so big, it's normal to go to a party and can't stand the crowds and can't find a way back to catch your breath - please refer to the romance novels that cross the road for details.
"No problem." Jiang Fenghao squinted and played with her hair, and said seriously, "When the time comes, take a rope for your husband and tie her wife directly to your side?" ”
He Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes, looked down at his round waist, and then looked at him, "Where do you want to tie it?" ”
Knowing what she meant, Jiang Fenghao naturally changed his words, "Then why don't you tie yourself up for your husband and let your mother lead you?" ”
"......" He thought he was walking the dog, and he was still leading!
"Hey, Jiang Fenghao." Skipping this funny topic for the time being, He Xiaoqiao poked him with his elbow, "I remember that you said before that the Mid-Autumn Banquet was a blind date party in disguise, right?" Since we're all going to participate, you have to listen to me clearly, and when you get there, you are not allowed to look around, you are not allowed to look at other girls, and you are not allowed to move your hands. As he spoke, he seemed to feel that something was missing, and quickly added, "If a young girl comes to talk to you, remember to notify me immediately, and see that I don't beat them all over the ground and find their teeth even her mother can't recognize them!" ”
He Xiaoqiao said, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes widened and he looked eager to try.
Jiang Fenghao's brain made up the picture of her holding a big belly, opening her teeth and dancing claws, and driving people away with a broom, and the cold sweat immediately came down. immediately looked down at her, and suggested very sincerely and seriously, "Lady, let's go back to the house for the August Festival this year." ”
