Lin Yunyan put down the bowl, and her eyebrows gradually stretched.

The soup is a good soup.

The soup is bright and not greasy, with some peppery spiciness, which is slightly stimulating in the mouth, making the soup more and more fresh and sweet.

Drinking such a bowl in the middle of winter is so warm that the whole body is very comfortable.

"Mama He's craftsmanship is really good." Lin Yunyan sighed.

Xu Jian didn't speak, just waited quietly for Lin Yunyan to say something.

If it was just delicious, she wouldn't have looked like that before.

Lin Yunyan sorted out her thoughts.

Half a year ago, Chen Gui mentioned it to her, saying that Mama He's cooking was first-class and delicious.

Not to mention that there are so many restaurants and restaurants in Beijing that do business, even the chefs of the Sincere Bofu are afraid that they will admit defeat.

Lin Yunyan has heard it.

It's not that she questioned Chen Gui's exaggeration, but that she didn't pay special attention.

After that, she also tasted the sweet soup boiled by Mama He's family, which was soft and glutinous and sweet, which was the taste she liked.

But this is the first time I have tasted the meal.

After tasting this, she understood that what Chen Gui said was true.

"Which master did Mama He study with?" Lin Yunyan asked.

This knocked Xu Jian down.

He said, "In the early years, she was a cook in the Fuguo Mansion, and before I was born, she left the mansion because she was married.

It wasn't until a few years ago, when my grandfather was sick that he missed the old taste and asked people to come to the backyard of Taohezhai and ask her to make two dishes to try, that I didn't know about this place.

My grandfather confessed before his death that the He family was upright and trustworthy.

After tasting her craftsmanship, I used to come here to eat.

As for where she worked before she became the cook of the Princess's Mansion, if you want to know, call Mama to ask later."

Lin Yunyan said, "The taste of Mama's stewed soup is very similar to the soup I drank in Cining Palace when I was a child."

When Xu Jian heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Then, he saw Lin Yunyan pick up chopsticks and take a bite of sweet and sour pork.

Lin Yunyan was very gentle with her rice, chewing slowly, she was tasting it carefully, looking very serious.

is so serious that Xu Jian is curious, what clues can this sweet and sour meat taste.

Thinking so, Xu Jian also took a piece and tasted it.

It has a richer flavor than usual, and it is naturally delicious.

"There's a lot of vinegar and a lot of sugar," Lin Yunyan said, "I haven't eaten anything like this in years."

As she spoke, she tasted something else.

After tasting all the dishes, Lin Yunyan made a judgment: "Mama's seasoning is very much in line with the queen mother's wishes."

The queen mother has a strong taste, so she likes this bite.

It's just that for the young Lin Yunyan, she can't follow the queen mother in terms of diet.

When she grew up a little, she gradually became less particular and liked to dine with the Queen Mother.

Unfortunately, this rich flavor didn't last a few years.

The queen mother is old, and the imperial doctors have told her to speak softer, not to be like when she was young.

Niangniang is annoyed, but she also knows that her body is important, and she has slowly adjusted in the past four or five years.

Nowadays, the table in Cining Palace is not as rich as before.

Today, Lin Yunyan suddenly tasted the taste she once had, and she was nostalgic for herself, but also full of questions in her heart.

It's not true that it's been a long time and I've tasted it wrong, so I will twist my brows and distinguish carefully.

"Cooking skills need to be practiced," Lin Yunyan said, "I haven't cooked a lot of good dishes repeatedly, and my skills can't be mastered."

Good food, good ingredients, money.

Which master accepts a disciple and can let her cook like silver?

The Guogong Mansion has that family background.

It's just that the old grandfather was sick and missed it, which shows that after the He family's grandmother got married, the cooks in the Guogong Mansion did not cook the same way.

I don't think there is a "Master" among them.

。

Xu Jian understood what Lin Yunyan meant, and raised her voice to call Shenchen and asked him to invite Mama to come.

Mama He came over soon, and when she saw that the dishes on the table hadn't moved a few bites, her heart couldn't help but sink.

She still has some confidence in her craft, but there is no high or low taste, maybe it is not in line with the taste of the county lord?

Oops, that's not good!

She could see early on that the grandfather of the country treated the county lord quite differently, but unfortunately he always held it.

She was secretly anxious, and muttered in private: If you are not attentive at all, can a beautiful daughter-in-law fall from the sky?

Grandpa Guo has a cold temperament, and finally has a favorite girl's family in his heart, if he misses it, what a pity?

Mama He thought about it, and heard that the house next door was going to make a move, so she hurriedly asked her son and Grandpa Guo to suggest that she buy that place as well.

It's cold after all.

Grandpa Guo can let the county lord enter the study, but Chen Dongjia often accompanies the county lord over, and Jing Dongjia often discusses matters, so he can't still sit in the courtyard in the wind and snow, right?

Fortunately, Grandpa Guo listened to the persuasion, and after the next door was connected, the county lord was obviously satisfied.

It's good to be satisfied.

Satisfied, the saint is married, won't the daughter-in-law fall off?

The county lord will be the mistress of the Guogong Mansion from now on.

Although the grandmother of the He family does not go to the house on errands, the grandfather of the country is used to eating in Taohezhai every day, and of course she also hopes to make the county lord eat well and get used to eating.

I didn't have a chance to let the county lord taste it before, but now that I know that the county lord is coming, the He family's grandmother has done her best.

But the taste seems to be off track?

"I heard Grandpa Guo say that Mama was originally the cook lady in the house," Lin Yunyan asked, "Which master did Mama learn this cooking skill from?"

Mama He was slightly stunned.

Lin Yunyan saw the hesitation on her face, and then said, "Don't hide it from Mama, the taste of the dish is excellent, it was the taste of my childhood, and I miss it."

Hearing her say this, Mama He relaxed and had a smile on her face.

"It's good that you're used to eating," she said, "I'm a little heavier today, and I think it will be more palatable to you."

Lin Yunyan laughed: "Mama knows what kind of flavor I usually have?"

Mama He's hands grabbed the sleeves of her shirt, and then let go again.

"Oh, I said I missed my mouth," she sighed, shaking her head apprehensively, "I used to be an errand boy in the Imperial Dining Room."

This answer is in the imagination of Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian.

Mama He said again: "That was decades ago, my master was in charge of preparing meals for the queen mother, and now it should be said that the queen mother, I have been following him to do things.

Niangniang's taste is heavier, and she doesn't like it if it's light.

Niangniang is like this all year round, and the taste will not change easily, I think, the county lord Xiaochang is by Niangniang's side, and I should be very accustomed to Niangniang's taste."

"Mama is half right," Lin Yunyan motioned for Mama to sit down first, and said, "I said that this taste is nostalgic, Cining Palace used to be like this, but now it is lighter, Niangniang is old, and the imperial doctor explained it."

Mama He let out a soft "ah" and was stunned for a while before she sighed, "Time is really fast, all I remember is the old yellow calendar. yes, the mother is getting old......
