Chapter 63: Mrs. Tai's granddaughter and grandson-in-law who were forced to eat dog food
Spring wine fragrant cooked sea bass is beautiful; The old mandarin bass in the rivers and lakes is ripe. Spring and autumn are good seasons to eat sea bass, spring and autumn sea bass, the meat is as white as snow, delicate and fragrant, no matter steamed, fried is a beautiful dish.
When the delicacies of sea bass with different methods were served on the table, Gu Ruosu smelled the fragrance, and wanted to immediately make a big cloud, and couldn't help but remember that when he was a teenager, he had learned such a sentence "People come and go on the river, but they love sea bass", which shows the freshness and fat of sea bass.
And in the study of the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi's "Bashan Chushui desolate, twenty-three years abandoned. At that time, because of his inexplicable preference for Liu Yuxi, he had a strong interest in his poems, remembering that there is such a sentence in "Liu Yuxi's Collection": "Zhumen is flooded with water, and the perch is not visible", which writes the preciousness of the perch.
Naturally, there are many poems like this, such as: "New perch, pour fine wine", "Dongting Guixing, fragrant orange mangrove, perch silver silk." And so on excellent chapters show the ancients' love for sea bass.
Gu Ruosu naturally yearns for the taste of sea bass, but Gu Ruosu's mother has a special constitution and is allergic to all fish and seafood, so for many years, in Gu Ruosu's family, under the control of Gu Ruosu's "chef" father, their family will never give any fish and seafood on the table.
Moreover, most of the modern river fresh seafood is artificially cultivated and polluted, which is naturally not comparable to the original deliciousness at this time, thinking of this, Gu Ruosu couldn't help but swallow his saliva again.
"Grandmother, wait a little longer, although this dish is ready, the sixth uncle hasn't come yet~" Xie Yilin said to Gu Ruosu while helping Yuan Yao put the sea bass he made in front of her and Gu Ruosu.
"Little Liu'er, why are they so slow today? In the past, they came the fastest~" Gu Ruosu couldn't help muttering.
"Ah, Uncle Six, when I went back to the house with Yilin today, I watched Uncle Six go out of the house with a little sister I haven't seen before." Yuan Yao suddenly spoke.
"Haven't you seen it? How old is that sister? ”
"It looks like it's the same as the meaning, but it should be a year or two younger than the meaning, but the demeanor feels more stable than the meaning sister."
"That should be the Yihua sister you haven't seen yet, all over the house, and the only one with the big meaning is Yihua Yinian, you should have seen this girl, only her, I didn't expect that these three people would be mixed together today~ I just don't know where they went, and they didn't take me with them~" Gu Ruosu said in the end, there was a little resentment.
"It should be the little uncle who took his sisters to find some kind of young poetry club or something, it was very boring, grandmother, you don't like it, and it's okay if you don't go." Xie Yilin coaxed.
"Yes, yes, Alin is right, those poems will be very boring, they are all vassal style and elegant poems, you don't like it, I think you don't like it." Yuan Yao echoed.
"But, Ah Yao, how did you see it, why didn't I see it when I came back with you?" Xie Yilin looked at Yuan Yao, who had been obediently echoing her, and suddenly changed his words and asked suspiciously.
"At that time, you were chatting with Aunt Navy, Uncle They slipped out of the small door on the side, and I saw it by accident."
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"I ...... I just saw that my grandmother was so nervous that I forgot to ......" Yuan Yao scratched his head embarrassedly, and then whispered.
"You, really, how can this kind of thing be forgotten~"
"You don't have to blame you Langjun, this kind of trivial matter, if it were me, it would be easy to forget, since they didn't come for a long time, then or~ we won't wait, let's eat first~ What do you think~" Gu Ruosu smiled and said quite embarrassedly.
"Let's eat, the secret guard next to Xiao Liu'er came back to report to me, saying that they went to see the performance of the new Oiran Jiao Niang in Kyoto today, and they won't come back until late, so they don't have to wait for them."
Xie Ruqing's voice suddenly came from the door, and everyone cast their eyes to the door, only to see Xie Ruqing wearing black boots, wearing a gold bag and Lianjue jade around his waist, holding a delicate small sandalwood box, and wearing a purple gold dragon-style official robe and slowly walked in. (The official robes here follow the division of the official robes of the Song Dynasty, according to my check, roughly speaking, purple is precious, and only officials of the third grade or above can wear it, and the vermilion used by officials of the fourth or fifth grade is vermilion; The officials of the 267th grade wore green official uniforms; The clothes of the eight- and nine-rank officials at the very end are cyan.
However, later sources said that the official robes of the Song Dynasty were divided into four grades, and the clothes of officials also became purple; and the official uniforms of the fifth and sixth grades are crimson; Seventh-ninth grade clothing is green. Then let's follow the original robe here.
In addition, the pattern of the official uniform also has a clear hierarchy, the first and second grades are dragons, the third, fourth and fifth grades are landscapes, and the fifth grade is flowers and birds. )
"Xiaoliu has you put a secret guard next to you? What flower girl? Beautiful, isn't it? By the way, didn't you say that you had an appointment to dinner today when you went out this morning? Let me not wait for you? How did you get back? Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Ruqing who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise, and asked several questions in a row.
"Xiao Liu originally put a secret guard around him, but he didn't let the secret guard follow him, but after he was beaten last time, I let them keep an eye on him all the time."
"As for today, I didn't come back, but those people asked me to watch that Jiao Niang's performance, I am a family person, they are trapping me in injustice, I won't go, I'm afraid you will eat it."
"Since I don't go, then naturally I don't know what that Jiao Niang looks like, what style, these have nothing to do with me, if you are interested, go back and wait for Xiao Liu'er to come back, I will let them come to you to tell you, it's really not good, invite that person to the house or you go to see it in person, it's okay, just if you want to prepare to go out, remember to tell me, I will arrange some more people, Zhangtai Liu always let me have some worries about you going."
"Let's talk about it~ Our little six is the most picky, if the little six comes back today and says that it is beautiful, then it is estimated that it will be a real beauty~ I want to see the hee hee hee ~ That's right! Shouldn't you be right now, it's time for lunch? Gu Ruosu still asked suspiciously.
"Originally, I came back at a moment's time, but didn't you say before, I felt that the jewelry box was empty, so I went to think about choosing some new jewelry for you in the gold shop, but I looked at it, their novelty was not as good as the previous jewelry style, so I picked some pearls back, and I personally drew the style, picked out more good pearls, and gave you a set of pearl heads?"
"But those pearls don't know why lately, the color is not good, today I picked them up, I picked a few back, you see, here are the pearls I picked for you." Saying that, Xie Ruqing stood beside Gu Ruosu and handed the box to Gu Ruosu, when Gu Ruosu was curiously fiddling with the small box, Xie Ruqing seized the opportunity to give the people below a look, and Zanglan and Biyun immediately understood and added a place next to Gu Ruosu to Xie Ruqing.
"These pearls are so beautiful, they are big, round, and clean, but there are only a few of them, if you want to make a head, it must take time and energy, right?" Gu Ruosu opened the small box and saw that there were seven or eight round and full white pearls in the small box, Gu Ruosu picked one up casually, and said to Xie Ruqing while admiring it.
"What you like is the most important thing, it's just a set of heads, and it doesn't take me a lot of time and energy, at most read a few miscellaneous books, these don't matter, let your jewelry box be empty, affect your mood, that's my big deal." Xie Ruqing sat next to Gu Ruosu with a smile and said.
"You...... We...... We...... Let's eat first, you've worked so hard for so long today, you should be hungry, come, eat. Gu Ruosu was suddenly said by Xie Ruqing's words, his face was red, and he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, and put the perch with chopsticks in his hand and put it in Xie Ruqing's bowl, but he didn't dare to look at Xie Ruqing.
This really can't be blamed on Gu Ruosu, she thinks that these words obviously seem to be a rhetoric, but Gu Ruosu doesn't know why, she always feels that these seemingly rhetorical words come out of Xie Ruqing's mouth, as if they are some kind of affectionate words, which are quite convincing.
"Hmm~ This sea bass is very delicious, more delicious than the one I ate a few days ago, and it seems to be more than Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquid."
"It's all fish caught in one place, except for the sea bass, it's all made by the same chef, where is it more delicious?" Gu Ruosu asked suspiciously.
This fish is delicious, but it is impossible to suddenly change the quality of the meat, exaggerated to the point that it is comparable to the elixir and jade liquid, right?
"Nature is different, the amount of feed eaten by each fish may be different, and the range of times each fish swims per day is also different, then, the tightness of the meat of each fish is also different, and the most important thing is that when I ate this fish that day, I sandwiched it myself, but today ~ you clamped it for me ~ Naturally it is different, you clip it, it is always more delicious......" Xie Ruqing said with a smile.
"You're afraid you're drunk...... Suddenly said so much nonsense...... "Gu Ruosu is really blushing, Xie Ruqing is really abnormal today, even if he likes to be greasy with Gu Ruosu on weekdays, it is only so "sweet" in his own room, today, in front of his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, it is so unbearable, it is the first time in the world......
"Poof, I rarely eat drunk, you know, that's it, I won't say these words to you in front of these juniors, turn around, wait for the night, I'll talk to you again, eat the vegetables first."
"I heard that Aunt Sun is the best at sea bass and a dish, I want to come to it without falsehood, look at this knife work, it is more meticulous than the master in our kitchen, and the taste should not be bad."
As he spoke, he picked up a chopstick carp and put it into Gu Ruosu's bowl, and looked at Gu Ruosu with a satisfied look on his face after eating it, and then he tasted this dish.
"It's really good, it can be seen that your kid is a meticulous person, think about it, and after a little training, you can return to Beijing for a half-official position."
"Thank you grandfather for complimenting, this is all because of Yilin's training, I didn't know how to cook this dish, it's all because of Yilin, I learned, in the future, I want me to learn some strengths from Yilin that I don't have." Yuan Yao didn't know whether he really didn't understand or whether he didn't understand Xie Ruqing's words, so he only praised his daughter-in-law for how well he trained himself.
"Yao, thank you grandfather!" Xie Yilin looked at her husband with an idiot face, and praised herself with a rainbow fart, she was really anxious and moved, so she had to remind Yuan Yao by herself.
Yuan Yao looked at Xie Yilin with a confused expression, and didn't know why he wanted to thank Xie Ruqing again, but since his daughter-in-law had spoken, she just did it, and then, Yuan Yao thanked Xie Ruqing again:
"Thank you, grandfather."
"Well, it's okay, family, I'm also very willing to give you a chance, you are a good boy, and a good official, your boss and I often praise you, and now, I'm just doing a thing to push the boat, this time when I go back, remember to help your daughter-in-law clean up the gold and silver, prepare to prepare, and change places to be a good official." Xie Ruqing said bluntly.
"Ahh Yes, thank you grandfather for his love, my grandson-in-law will definitely live up to the people's prayers, everything is based on the country and the people, and there are ...... And also...... I will definitely be good to Yilin for the rest of my life. Yuan Yao assured the Xie family again.
"Well, got it, for the rest, you can show me your actions." Xie Ruqing nodded slightly, and then signaled Xie Yilin and Yuan Yao not to talk about business anymore, just enjoy this banquet.
He skillfully picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a large piece of perch, slowly picked up the fish bones for Gu Ruosu, and waited for the small fish bones all over his body to be separated from the fish body, and put them into Gu Ruosu's bowl and said gently: "You have eaten less these days, I look like I have lost weight, today's food is delicious, eat more, don't eat again, Yilin and his wife will eat all these delicious things, the perch is not easy to beat, wait for Xiao Liu'er to catch the perch again next time, it is estimated that it will be a while~ Let's eat enough today." ”
Xie Yilin, who had just eaten a piece of fish, and Yuan Yao, who had just started peeling fish bones for his daughter-in-law: [After eating?] Aren't we just starting to eat? When did grandfather learn to open his eyes and tell nonsense? Never mind...... Normal...... In front of his grandmother, as long as his grandfather is good to his daughter-in-law, his grandfather is really willing to do anything...... Alas, what's going on, obviously we haven't eaten much, but how do we feel inexplicably full...... We should be at the bottom of the table at this moment, they don't seem to deserve to be at this table...... ]
