Chapter 021: Discussion
The crystal clear rice was covered with delicious soup, and the sweet and salty taste instantly stimulated the taste buds, Xie Zhi had never eaten such sweet and sour but salty food, his eyes widened, and the whole person was stunned, only his mouth kept chewing.
After a bite of rice, Xie Zhi has completely fallen in love with this taste.
Xie Mian looked at the unpredictable expression on his face with satisfaction, and snickered in her heart, she knew that no one could escape the legendary law of true fragrance.
After Xie Zhi finished eating a bite of rice, he was still unsatisfied, he stared at Xie Mian in a daze, and said a little embarrassed: "Sister, can Xiao Zhi eat another bite?" ”
How could Xie Mian not let him eat it, nodded and agreed: "This is made for you to eat, how can my sister not let you use chopsticks." ”
Hearing this, Xie Zhi swallowed his saliva, "Thank you, sister." ”
The sweet and sour soup wrapped in every grain of rice, Xie Zhi picked a piece of diced tomato and took it to his mouth, at that moment, countless baby juices were secreted from all sides of his mouth, this was the first time Xie Zhi had eaten such a wonderful food, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister, what is this red Tongtong?" ”
Xie Mian said gently: "The name of this food is tomato, how is it, how does it taste?" ”
Xie Zhi nodded very affirmatively, "Sister, your cooking skills, Xiao Zhi admires!" ”
Hearing Xie Zhi's praise, Xie Mian suddenly had an idea, that is, to use some strange and unknown food that he knows to open a restaurant, and then he can have a small vault of his own.
Thinking of this, Xie Mian made a decision.
Xie Mian didn't prepare anything else, so she watched with satisfaction as Xie Zhi finished eating, and then chatted with him for a while.
After chatting, it was noon, and it was time to eat.
Xie Mian was chatting with Xie Zhi about some interesting things he encountered when he was a child, and when he saw what he said, he stopped, and soon saw the stitches, and said: "Xiao Zhi, my sister has prepared another pastry, and now it is almost ready to be made, do you want to eat it?" ”
Xie Zhi was still immersed in the delicious taste on the tip of his tongue that he had never tasted, and when he heard that his sister had prepared another dish, his horizontal eyebrows were about to fly with joy.
"Sister, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi wants to eat ......"
"It's okay, don't bother your sister, if you have something good in the future, it's not impossible to repay your sister when the time comes." Xie Mian said: "If others are good to you, you will be good to others, and you will be brave and loyal to a mirror, as long as you don't feel guilty and suffer, then it will be too late to repay when you want." ”
Xie Zhi was stunned, "Sister, what's wrong with you today?" ”
I forgot that I was arrogant and domineering before. Xie Mian sighed, "Sister is just teaching you the truth again." ”
Xie Zhi nodded affirmatively, "Sister, I think what you just said to Xiao Zhi is very right." ”
Xie Mian didn't answer immediately, she thought, now that Xie Zhi is still young, there is no need to say it too clearly, which will affect the natural formation of his values.
When he arrived in the kitchen, Xie Mian summoned Agarwood and Chen Nuniang together, ready to summon them to help.
Persimmon cakes are needed to make pea yellow, but there are no persimmons at the moment......
Forget it, it's not impossible to make without persimmons.
Xie Mian put the soaked peas into the water and rinsed them again, and then put the peas into a pot full of water, and suddenly thought of something, Xie Mian frowned and said, "Are there sugar products?" ”
Agarwood said that she didn't know, and the nurse on the side hurriedly took out a piece of sugar cube from under the cabinet and handed it to Xie Mian, "Miss, here you go." ”
Xie Mian took it, immediately scooped out a few pieces of sugar cubes and put them in the pot, and then instructed Agarwood to take some firewood to burn the fire.
However, after half a pillar of incense, a white mist came out next to the lid, and as soon as Xie Mian opened the lid, he smelled a strong pea smell.
took a handkerchief and pinched the two ends of the pot, and then asked the agarwood to block the mouth of the pot with a wooden board, leaving only a little gap, and then slowly and continuously tilted down to pour out the water, Xie Mian asked again:
"Do you have a mallet to mash food?"
Agarwood was not familiar with the layout of things in Jingyuan, so naturally there were no words, Chen Nuniang quickly took out a small mallet from a place, and then handed it to Xie Mian.
Xie Mian poured out the cooked peas in the pot and put them in a bowl, took out the mallet and began to work hard.
However, the strength of this body is really a little small, Xie Mian only felt a little tired after only tinkering for a while, you must know that this pea yellow production should be fine in terms of tinkering, after all, this will affect the taste of the food later.
"Agarwood, Chen Niangniang, but there are still extra mallets?"
"Yes, yes, of course, Miss wants us to help?"
Xie Mian nodded.
Soon, the three of them were tinkering with a small board, and the sound was so loud that if anyone passed by, they would have looked sideways.
I don't know how long it took, but a few people looked at the pasty pea yellow and showed a relieved smile.
Xie Mian got up and tinkered a few more times, pouring water into the bowl while tinkering, and then stirring well.
Xie Mian said again: "Agarwood, you go and take out a few firewood inside." ”
Agarwood immediately stepped forward and used fire tongs to take a few sticks of firewood that were burning vigorously.
Xie Mian put the pea puree into the pot and kept stir-frying and turning it with a spatula.
In the end, the fried pea puree was kneaded into a square shape by Xie Mian and Agarwood, and some fruit was sprinkled for decoration.
Then put it in a bowl, cool it with cold water around, wait for it to solidify, and then put it into the dish with a sense of ceremony, Xie Mian picked up a piece and tasted it first, sure enough, the taste was sweet and delicate, very delicious.
"You two have a taste, too." Xie Mian finished eating a piece of pea yellow and muttered indistinctly to the two.
Although agarwood has never seen such a thing, but also witnessed its production process, so soon picked up a piece and ate it, how to say agarwood, this pastry is very soft and glutinous when it first enters, and the mouth is full of pea flavor when you bite it, coupled with the sweet fragrance of the fruit, agarwood only feels as if you are stepping on a ladder to go up to the clouds, and the whole person is fluttering.
Chen Nanniang also tried to take a bite, and she couldn't help but praise: "Miss, it's not that the slave is too talkative, I'm afraid your skills are about to catch up with the palace kitchen." ”
I had never seen the rumored delicate lady cooking before, and Agarwood and Chen Nuniang felt that Xie Mian was very likely to be clumsy before.
was said by Chen Nanniang, Xie Mian was more determined to open a private restaurant to do business well, and spend her life in the book like this for a rich life, she felt that such a life seemed to be quite good.
But she also knew in her heart that she was Xie Mian, and she was destined to be unable to live so plainly.
Xie Mian smiled and said: "You two can laugh, how can I be a girl from a family better than the imperial chef, but hearing you say this, I think Xiao Zhiding will also like to eat it very much." ”
Xie Mian rushed to Xie Zhi with pea yellow, who knew that as soon as he arrived in the back room, he saw the old lady's wrinkled face looking kindly towards him, Xie Mian was stunned, and immediately responded obediently: "Grandmother is good." ”
Although the old lady was old, her body was healthy, she hurriedly stepped forward and took Xie Mian's little hand, "Mian'er, are you cooking yourself?" ”
Xie Mian nodded, "The granddaughter heard that Xiao Zhi was infected with the cold, so she deliberately planned to show her cooking skills to prepare lunch for Xiao Zhi, because she heard that peas and other ingredients are nutritious, so she deliberately figured out a snack by herself, and her granddaughter called it 'pea yellow'." ”
"Pea yellow, that's a good name." The old lady nodded affirmatively, and then said, "Grandmother, can you try your craft with Xiao Zhi?" ”
That's hard to ask for.
It was impossible for Xie Mian to refuse, so he hurriedly agreed, "Grandmother came at the right time, this is what my granddaughter just made, and it's still hot, grandmother, you and Xiao Zhi can eat together." ”
Xie Zhi next to him couldn't wait for a long time, and when he saw Xie Mian speak, he immediately took a piece from the dish, but Xie Zhi was filial and handed it to the old lady first.
The old lady touched Xie Zhi's head with satisfaction, and then took a bite.
Xie Zhi also took another piece and tasted it carefully.
Xie Mian was a little expectant, "Grandmother, Xiaozhi, how does it taste?" ”
Xie Zhi nodded first, and then took another piece under Xie Mian's gaze, and then the old lady also picked up another piece with a very solemn face, which confused Xie Mian.
"Grandmother, Xiaozhi, isn't it delicious?" Xie Mian said cautiously.
The old lady picked up another piece from the dish and shook her head, "No, no. ”
Soon the pea yellow in the dishes was emptied, and Xie Zhi swallowed the last mouthful of water on the table, and praised: "Sister, your craftsmanship is really good." ”
The old lady was also very satisfied and agreed with this sentence.
"Grandmother, you're also here to visit Xiaozhi?" Xie Mian said curiously, because she had planned to take time to discuss important matters with her grandmother on her own, but who knew that after going around and around, her grandmother actually came to Jingyuan.
The old lady had a touch of anger on her face, and glared: "Grandmother also found out the news today and is obsessed with the cold, so let's take a look, isn't it that Mian'er doesn't like grandmother to disturb your leisure in this courtyard?" ”
Xie Mian felt aggrieved, "Where is it, grandmother is used to making fun of Mian'er." ”
Xie Zhi was still savoring the taste of pea yellow on the side, but he didn't expect his grandmother to be arguing with his sister.
But before she could speak, she saw the old lady suddenly say with a straight face: "Mian'er, you asked An to discuss the matter with me that day, and now you are still counting, do you really want Wei Ran to live in your side courtyard, or do you have something unspeakable?" ”
The old lady thought about it since that day, not because she was suspicious, but because the granddaughter's attitude changed too quickly, and she was afraid that the stupid granddaughter was coerced by something.
After all, it is well known that the daughters and sisters-in-law in the house bullied the new little sons in the mansion before.
Xie Mian didn't want the old lady to be so direct, she was just stunned for a moment, and then knelt on the ground, "Grandmother, what Mian'er said that day is not child's play, the granddaughter dreamed in a dream one day how she bullied her adopted son, and then the adopted son had a chance, and our Xie family fell in the middle, our whole family has attracted retribution, Mian'er woke up and felt very frightened, and her conscience found it, so she wanted to be kind to her adopted son." ”
