She immediately reminded: "Sister Qingyou, you can be a little more angry at this time." ”

Then, I immediately ran to the side to get the small fish that I had pickled, picked it up with chopsticks, and placed it in the wok one by one, forming a circle of scattered shapes.

The fish also reacts with the pork and the high temperature at the same time, making a pleasant "sizzle" sound, and the aroma of fish gradually wafts through the air.

Zhao Qingyou was still a little confused, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, she didn't understand why the fishy smell suddenly turned into a fragrance.

It's not like she hasn't cooked fish before, and even after cooking, the fishy smell is still there, and the fragrance is completely different from the fragrance she felt at this time.

Could it be that this is all the effect of the ingredients added by Zheng Wan when he marinated the fish just now?

Her eyes widened in disbelief, Zheng Wan easily let herself see such a secret production process, knowing that these recipes or techniques were kept in the hands of nobles or families.

And she saw it so easily, if she didn't have the right mind, she would definitely take Zheng Wan's business if she took it out.

So, he kindly reminded: "Lady, in the future, when you handle the ingredients, don't let others see them, including children, these things are very precious." ”

"Really? But I believe that your Qingyou sister, even if you see it, you won't spread it. ”

Zhao Qingyou didn't know whether he should be happy for Zheng Wan's trust or helpless for Zheng Wan's childish side.

She shook her head with a smile and said, "The lady still remembered what she said." ”

"Good, good! The little fish is almost ready, so turn it over, Sister Qingyou, pay attention to the heat. ”

Zhao Qingyou nodded, according to what Zheng Wan had just explained, make the fire a little smaller, and when all the small fish turned over, he was increasing the firepower.

She handled the heat over and over again, paying attention to the small fish in the pot, the small fish that had been roasted over a small fire, the color was golden, exuding her own unique charm.

What's even more surprising is that none of these small fish are sticky, and she immediately thought of the temperature that Zheng Wan said before, as long as the temperature in the wok is properly controlled, no matter whether you fry or fry or bake, it will not stick to the wok.

The tip of the nose has always lingered with the burnt aroma of small dried fish, and the fragrance seems to turn into a hook, burrowing into the stomach to hook out the gluttonous insects.

She swallowed uncontrollably and leaned in to feel the scent on the tip of her nose.

Zheng Wan noticed Zhao Qingyou's movements, smiled without saying a word, looked at the small dried fish at the bottom step of the wok, and saw that it had been baked, so he immediately took it out and handed it to Zhao Qingyou.

"This one is already ready, Sister Qingyou, hurry up and taste it."

As he spoke, he couldn't refuse to put the dried fish next to Zhao Qingyou's mouth, waiting for her to open her mouth and send it in.

Such an intimate move made Zhao Qingyou panic, and his body subconsciously leaned back, trembling and said, "Still... Let's do it yourself. ”

Chapter 12 Fish Fillet Porridge

As he spoke, he quickly snatched the small dried fish from Zheng Wan's hand and pinched it between his fingertips.

With Zheng Wan's expectant little eyes, he slowly sent the small dried fish in his hand into his mouth, and felt a rich burnt fragrance on the tip of his tongue as soon as he entered his mouth.

The moment you bite off the dried fish, the crispy taste instantly wafts between your teeth, and the sparse fish falls off one after another, giving off a unique fragrance in your mouth.

I can't feel the fishy smell in my memory at all, and the small thorns in the fish are also slowly roasted over low heat, crispy and dry, and perfectly blended with the fish when chewed.

If it weren't for Zhao Qingyou's participation in the whole process of eating, she really had to wonder what secret method Zheng Wan used in this, how could she handle the fish bones so well, and she couldn't feel it at all.

And I don't know why, this little dried fish obviously didn't add any special seasonings, but the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it.

When Zhao Qingyou finished eating one in his mouth, he even felt that his brain's desire for dried fish was stronger.

At this time, Zheng Wan is also feeling the taste of dried fish, for her, this time the dried fish is only the simplest umami and salty, compared with the spicy dried fish and spicy dried fish in later generations, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

After feeling it, she turned her head and asked, "Sister Qingyou, what do you think of this taste?" If you take it to the market, can you buy and sell? ”

Of course, Zhao Qingyou raised his hands in agreement, "Sure, this little dried fish tastes so delicious, if the price is not high, there must be many people who want to eat some meat, or want to improve the taste, they will definitely buy it." ”

"Thank you Sister Qingyou for your praise, if you say that, you will have confidence, tomorrow after breakfast, you will immediately go to the market to see the situation."

Zhao Qingyou thought of this point in time, he must be helping in the back kitchen, and hurriedly reminded:

"You are a girl guarding the stall outside, you must be careful, otherwise, you will ask my brother to help you?"

"No, no, it's in the market closest to the capital water supervisor, there are many acquaintances, there will be no problems, and it is adjacent to the imperial city of the government, so no one dares to make trouble."

"That's fine, since you want to do some small business, it's better to dispose of all the fish today."

After that, the two of them roasted the small fish at the same time in several woks in the back kitchen, and the speed was much faster, and finally when the bright moon was hanging in the air, only the last wok's small dried fish remained.

Because it was too late, the two of them stood in front of the stove and yawned repeatedly.

Zheng Wan felt tears oozing from the corners of his eyes because of yawning, and said apologetically in his tone: "Sister Qingyou, I'm really bothering you tonight, and when I earn money tomorrow, I will definitely pay you some hard money." ”

"No, I didn't sleep too late, so I had to hurry up and get it right."

Just as the two of them were holding their eyelids and waiting for the last wok to come out, there was a sudden sound of gentle footsteps in the courtyard in front of the kitchen, and neither of them noticed the movement outside for a while.

In the courtyard, Cui Zhiyun pressed the aching upper abdomen with one hand, and the other hand swayed leisurely with the movement of walking, and his face was as calm and serious as ever.

No one could tell from his current expression that his body was expressing strong resistance at this time, and the constant pain in his upper abdomen was spreading from his abdomen to his whole body.

Cui Zhiyun was originally going to stay up late tonight in the capital water supervisor, and it was late at night, and he was still in the room to deal with official business.

But as the night deepened, he noticed that the air suddenly filled the air with a stronger and stronger fragrance, which made his mind drift away uncontrollably.

There were also constant hunger signals in his abdomen, and it was then that he noticed that he was too busy with official business to eat the dinner that had been delivered.

By this time the food on the table had already cooled, and it had a strange smell, especially when it was compared with the aroma in the air, which became more and more intense, and he could not arouse any interest in these dinners.

And the abdomen is constantly sending out hunger signals, and there is even a faint feeling of pain.

In the end, Cui Zhiyun still chose to listen to the signals of his body and followed the path of the fragrance all the way to the kitchen courtyard.

Looking at the dim candle flame inside, smelling the gradually thickening fragrance, he slowly stepped into the kitchen and found the two people sitting in front of the stove busy work.

At first, Zheng Wan didn't notice anything, he was blinking sleepily, glancing at the fire from time to time, and feeling the temperature in the wok from time to time.

But this time, as soon as she opened her eyes, she noticed the sudden dimming of the light on the dried fish, and the whole person was immediately frightened by the first imagination that came to her mind, and her eyes widened instantly, and she raised her head to look in the direction where the black shadow was cast.

The shock from the depths of her soul immediately scared her to the ground, and the whole person fell backwards in an instant, and the movement caused by the rolling of the stool and the fall of the person immediately woke up Zhao Qingyou, who was sitting on the other side.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Cui Zhiyun who suddenly appeared, and people were also frightened, but she still retained a trace of sanity.

Immediately stood up from the stool and saluted to the visitor, "Meet Cui Jiancheng!" ”

Zheng Wan also realized that his movements were unorthodox, so he quickly got up from the ground and shouted with Zhao Qingyou, "Meet Cui Jiancheng." ”

Cui Zhiyun didn't care at all about what the two of them were doing here, the only thing he wanted to ask was, "Do you two know how to cook?" Feel free to go a little bit, a certain belly hungry. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyou's gaze immediately shifted to Zheng Wan.

Cui Zhiyun also noticed this scene, and his eyes unconsciously stayed on Zheng Wan.

Zheng Wan noticed the eyes of the two, and at the same time noticed Cui Zhiyun's movements on his abdomen, and immediately realized that the person in front of him was not hungry at all, but because of stomach pain.

But the other party's face was well hidden, and if she hadn't observed carefully, she might not have found it.

After knowing what the other party wanted, Zheng Wan recalled the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast, and immediately thought of a quick and delicious food - fish fillet porridge.

She immediately met Cui Zhiyun's eyes and replied, "I will have some shallow meals, and Cui Jiancheng will not dislike it." ”

Hearing this, Cui Zhiyun's complexion was unnatural for a moment, as the eldest son of the Cui family, the meals he drinks on weekdays can also be said to be that he never gets tired of eating and is not tired of being fine.

Just now in the room, I don't like the taste of the food after a long time, so I want to come here to try the taste.

Unexpectedly, what the girl in front of him said made him so worried.

However, everyone had already walked here, and it was not a good decision to leave now, so he had to suppress the worry in his heart, turn around and walk towards the dining area, and sit down.

Perhaps seeing Cui Zhiyun's worries, Zheng Wan hurriedly told Zhao Qingyou to cook today's leftovers directly into porridge, while he took the freshly baked dried fish, put it in a small dish, and brought it to Cui Zhiyun, explaining:

"This is a small snack that was just made, and Cui Jiancheng can enjoy it when he is bored while waiting for a meal."

After that, he turned around and left, went to the big tank outside the warehouse to fish out a live fish weighing more than a catty, and directly aimed a stick at the head of the fish to knock the fish unconscious, and then the process of slicing the fish was very smooth.

Cui Zhiyun, who was left in the dining area, was still a little unresponsive, feeling the strong fragrance that kept churning on the tip of his nose.

His eyes couldn't help but be on the small plate, and every small fish in it was grilled very straight, as if it had been propped up by something, neatly stacked in the plate, charred yellow and light brown intertwined, in terms of color, it was not what he would like to eat.

However, such an ordinary appearance exudes a special fragrance, which hooks his mind and constantly shifts to the small dried fish.

In the end, Cui Zhiyun still couldn't stand the desire in his heart, and shot at the dried fish, pinching it in his hand, as if he could crush it with a force, and it was even crispier and slag after eating, which was in line with his imagination in his mind.

The salty aroma and umami in the mouth are intertwined, and all the aroma penetrates into every cell of the body during chewing.

And the abdomen, which was still screaming just now, miraculously returned to calm under the comfort of the dried fish, and even continued to send longing signals to the brain in the mood.

So, under the coordination of the brain and the mouth, when he had not yet regained consciousness, a plate of small dried fish was quickly solved by him, and he even felt that his mouth had not been addicted, and his eyes unconsciously wandered away from Zheng Wan.

At this time, Zheng Wan had already taken out the fish slices he needed, and used salt, wine, green onion and ginger to develop them to remove the fish, and the leftovers in the wok quickly dispersed under the attack of the fire, constantly churning up and down in the water.

After a while, the rest quickly turned into thick rice porridge, and when the time came, she quickly added the fish fillets developed in the bowl.

There is no need to turn it at the first time, wait until the fish fillet turns white and the edge is slightly curled, and immediately carefully hold chopsticks to stir the fish fillet apart, sprinkle in chopped green onion and salt, and immediately remove it.

With such a quick series of movements, before Zhao Qingyou beside him could react, the fish fillet porridge had already appeared in the bowl completely.

A faint smell of rice and umami continued to rise along the heat, she sniffed and sensed it, and found that it was quite fragrant, but she didn't know if the Fu was not in the taste of a disciple of a family like Cui Jiancheng.

Zheng Wan hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the high temperature had not spread to the wall of the bowl, holding a bowl and a spoon, appeared next to Cui Zhiyun, and explained:

"The fish fillet porridge made by Er, please enjoy it by Cui Jiancheng."

Cui Zhiyun bowed his head and looked at the fish fillet porridge in front of him, the porridge water was white, but the fish fillets hidden inside were even whiter, and the top layer of emerald green onions was decorated, simple but not simple, with a simple beauty.

Zheng Wan left quickly after putting the bowl and spoon, and at the moment he turned his head, he almost couldn't help laughing, and the grin that could not be ignored stunned Zhao Qingyou in front of the stove.

Puzzled, he asked, "Could it be that Eunuch Cui has rewarded you?" actually laughed like this. ”

Zheng Wan forcibly suppressed his excitement, and leaned into Zhao Qingyou's ear and said: "Sister Qingyou, I think that the small dried fish business we do will be successful, just after going up with the fish fillet porridge, I noticed that during the waiting period, Cui Jiancheng had already eaten all the small dishes of small dried fish. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyou also opened his mouth wide in shock, a little unable to believe what he heard.

Who is Cui Jiancheng? That's the eldest son of the Boling Cui clan, who has never eaten any delicacies since he was a child, how can he be interested in their homemade small snacks in the market?

But when this scene really happened in front of them, they couldn't believe it in their hearts, and then they were so excited that they wanted to jump up to express their feelings.

She is also sincerely happy for Zheng Wan, as long as this small stall is propped up, Zheng Wan's life in Luoyang City will no longer have to worry about it in the future.

She held Zheng Wan's hands tightly, lowered her voice and said, "This is really a good thing, Cui Jiancheng is a delicacy that he likes, and if he sells it, it will definitely attract a lot of people." ”

"It's just, I really hope that tomorrow can come sooner."
