Zheng Wan decisively let go of the rag in his hand, walked towards the position of the kitchen, and stood at the door, under the dim candlelight, Zhao Qingyou's figure was particularly eye-catching.

When she came to Luoyang, she felt that the luckiest thing was to meet Zhao Qingyou.

Looking at the busy figure of the other party, she rarely used a coquettish voice, touched her gurgling belly, and asked with a smile:

"Sister, can you start dinner?"

With just this sound, Zhao Qingyou knew that Zheng Wan at this time had returned to his former appearance, and he also showed a gentle smile and replied, "Come and eat." ”

The two had a warm dinner and rested on the familiar bed until the next day.

Zheng Wan, who had regained his vitality, was standing in the courtyard at this time, exercising, and began to think about the time when he would return to work in the kitchen.

If she could, of course, she wished she could rest for a few days, but thinking of her diners in the public kitchen, she felt that it would be better to go back early to soothe everyone's stomachs.

Just when she was still hesitating, Zhao Qingyou, who came back this evening, told her a good news, so she didn't have to worry about this matter for the time being.

"This is the lady's monthly money this month, and the clerk and nursery brought it to the lady. After this month, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is coming soon, and the chef, as in previous years, will have close to three days of vacation, and it is estimated that there will be as many as four days together with the mid-year holiday.

Take advantage of this time to prepare for a trip home. Didn't the lady say before that she wanted to visit her son's house? Since eating the bone broth that the lady ordered and hiring Qingmiao, Aya A-Niang in the family has always wanted to thank you, a good person, and the scene at home is different from Luoyang City. I don't know if the lady is willing? ”

The reason in the words is true, but more I hope that Zheng Wan can relax in another place.

Therefore, she is very much looking forward to Zheng Wan's answer.

When Zheng Wan heard this, he felt as if he had released the pigeons again, and the time to prevaricate was too long.

Immediately nodded at Zhao Qingyou, "Sister is kindly invited, how can my son not agree." Just don't know when we're leaving? It's good to be mentally prepared. ”

"According to the holiday, it should be early in the morning."

"Then my sister will finish her work as a chef tomorrow, and she will go back here to live together, and set off together the next morning."

After the two of them had agreed, they went back to their rooms and fell asleep.

The next day, Zheng Wan thought about coming to visit, and he must carry some things in his hand, which was too precious to be stopped by Zhao Qingyou before he could get out of the door.

So she must have a number of gifts to choose, and she doesn't know how many days she will stay at Zhao's house, but it must be on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, so she must make a little zongzi that people like at the time.

For zongzi, she likes a lot of flavors, whether it is sweet or salty, she loves to eat it very much.

So, the first stop Zheng Wan chose was a candied fruit shop. Choose the dates, red beans and maltose you want from them and use them to make sweet rice dumplings.

After that, I went to the grain store and bought the glutinous rice that must be used to make zongzi.

After buying the basic ingredients, she walked towards the meat stall she was looking forward to the most, still a familiar boss.

As soon as the other party saw her, he greeted warmly: "The little lady still needs some bones today, and there are a lot of bones left today, if the little lady wants them all, five big coins, all the bones in this basket will be given to you." ”

Zheng Wan followed the direction of the boss's finger and looked at the basket on the ground, and at a glance saw the big bones that the boss said, as well as the internal organs that were randomly stacked next to it.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she hadn't eaten pig offal for a long time, and suddenly saw that she was still a little greedy.

When she raised her head, she looked a little embarrassed, as if it was a difficult thing for her to buy so many meatless bones.

Seeing this, the boss immediately relented and said, "Four big coins!" Four! The little lady will sell it to you for four big dollars. ”

When he spoke, he showed a sad expression, as if he had suffered a big loss.

But Zheng Wan knew very well that if he hadn't bought these bones himself, it was estimated that the boss would have to take them back and dispose of them today, and no one would buy them at all.

But she was attracted by the pig offal on the side, and pretended to be relieved and said:

"If you give away the guts next to you, you'll want it."

"What! The little lady still wants that? ”

As soon as I heard that the person in front of me not only had to help me dispose of the big bones that no one wanted, but also had to carry away the internal organs that were placed under the stall and disliked by others.

A dazzling smile instantly burst out on the boss's face, and he said excitedly at Zheng Wan: "Okay, good!" This will help the lady to install it. ”

Then at a rapid pace, the bones and entrails on the side were separated by leaves, and put them in a basket, and while wrinkling his nose, he scooped up the entrails in the basket, and kept silently reciting in his heart: The taste of this entrail is so great that even dogs don't want to eat it, and I don't know what this little lady bought it for?

After Zheng Wan got the unexpected joy, he bought a little more pork belly needed to wrap zongzi, and happily carried his things home.

I didn't notice at all that on the way home, as long as she passed through the place, there would be a strong smell, which smoked the passers-by on Yongan Street at this time, and scolded them for being a person who had no public morality and was running around with stinking things on the street.

At this time, Zheng Wan had already returned home with the things he had finally gotten out.

Set aside the things you will bring home directly tomorrow, and then look at the bamboo basket full of pig offal.

She first took out all the pork bones, rinsed them with water, blanched them in a pot, washed them, then continued to add cold water, changed to low heat after boiling, and continued to simmer.

After that, she took the pig offal and the flour, salt, vinegar and wine, and walked together to the well.

Cleaning a pig's large intestine can be a difficult process, and it is more convenient to stay in a place with plenty of water.

At this time, she had liver, waist, heart and large and small intestines in her basin, and she didn't choose to have pig lungs, and she always felt that the taste was not very good.

For example, when she made pork liver last time, although everyone was resistant to the internal organs, but under the temptation of the fragrance, the pork liver was quickly cleaned.

But this time, she felt that if she hadn't cleaned the pig's large intestine, it was estimated that no one would dare to speak, and some people would even think that she was deliberately offended.

For the sake of her own reputation, she directly took out a large handful of flour, poured it into a basin full of pig's intestine, and then added white wine, salt and vinegar to scrub together.

Scrub the sticky substance attached to the surface of the large intestine and stop until you can no longer feel the slippery touch when you scrub your hands.

After that, she turned the other side of the large intestine out, which was carefully calculated as the outside of the large intestine, which was glued together with fat from the other internal organs.

If you want to eat more safely, most of the fat in it needs to be torn off, especially the lymphatic tissue hidden in it, which is not good for people's health.

And Zheng Wan is one of them, and he didn't stop until he restored both sides of the large intestine to a smooth plane.

At this time, she added the materials she had just used to scrub into it again, and cleared the large intestine inside and out four or five times before stopping.

She carefully placed the rinsed large intestine in front of her and sniffed it, and when she felt only a faint smell, the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

The originally tense body also began to relax, and at this time she noticed that because she had been working hard to wash before, her hands were sore and her whole body was uncomfortable.

So, I leaned directly on the chair and lay down for a while before recovering my strength.

After a brief cleaning of the rest of the offal, take the offal back to the kitchen, take out the old marinade you left before, pour it into the pot, and re-add some seasonings to add the fragrance.

Immediately after that, wash the internal organs, blanch them briefly and cook them directly in the old marinade.

For a time, there were two large cauldrons in the kitchen that needed to be simmered for a long time.

Zheng Wan sat in front of the stove for a while, and felt hot and bored, the most important thing is boredom, and he didn't need to do anything by himself except watching the fire.

Suddenly feeling uncomfortable, she jerked herself to her feet and walked towards the jar of pickles she had made.

Although the pickled vegetables were delicious, the re-fried pickles were even more delicious, and she fished out the pickles that had been soaked pink by herself from the jar, put them all into a bowl, and prepared to bring them with the pickles tomorrow.

While packing the kimchi, she noticed the salted duck egg jar on the side, carefully counted the number of people in the Zhao family, took out eleven salted duck eggs from them, and put them in a basin to soak in water.

Then quickly light the fire in the oven, preheat the oven, and then take out all the salted egg yolks, put them on the baking tray and wait for the oven to preheat.

At this time, Zheng Wan, who had stopped, also smelled the rich aroma of halogen in the kitchen, which gradually filled the entire kitchen with the continuous upwelling of heat.

It even drifted to the neighbor's house, and at this time it was time to start making dinner, and the other people smelled the fragrance and unconsciously indulged in it and savored it.

But the child did not have such scruples, and shouted directly:

"Auntie, this fragrance smells so good! Yunnu will also eat it. ”

"Eat, eat, eat! Eat yourself, don't listen well in the school, you still want to eat meat and eat delicious food when you go home, if you don't starve, even if you are a piece of kindness for your mother, you still want to eat delicious food, and you will talk about it by reciting the book. ”

The voices of the two people are not small, they can be heard in the yard, and Zheng Wan, as a neighbor, can be heard in the kitchen.

And the other courtyard that fell next to her could clearly smell that this fragrance was emanating from Zheng Wan's yard.

If it were other people's homes on Yong'an Street, there might be people who wanted to use their own food to exchange their children for a little, but in Zheng Wan's house, no one dared to approach and dare to think about it.

is really the identity of the person Zheng Wan interacts with on weekdays, and it looks too unusual.

Not to mention anything else, the ox cart is already a means of transportation that ordinary people can't have on Yong'an Street, and in the counting time, there were two different ox carts in front of Zheng Wan's house, or the kind of ox cart that you can know at a glance that the owner's family is not ordinary.

Especially the ox cart that sent her back from the palace two days ago, she could recognize it as the ox cart purchased from the palace at a glance, who dared to get close to Zheng Wan at this moment, for fear that if she accidentally annoyed her, the life of the family would be gone.

As a result, a group of people could only sigh and smell the fragrance in the air, hoping to quench their thirst.

Zheng Wan listened to the shouts of beating and scolding children in the neighbor's house, and at the same time removed the charcoal fire from the oven, sprinkled a little white wine on the salted egg yolk, and then put it in the oven to bake.

After closing the lid, she went back to the kitchen.

At this time, she felt that the lo-mei should be almost ready, so she took out a chopstick, prepared a large intestine, and inserted it directly.

Quickly remove the fire from the bottom and move to the bone broth on the other side.

Cover the soup and soak it overnight for a better flavor tomorrow.

Zheng Wan shifted his gaze to the bone broth on the side again, and when he saw the milky white soup, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face.

Decisively added corn and carrots to stew together, and waited for Zhao Qingyou to come back for dinner.

But until she took out the salted egg yolk in the oven and stewed the carrot and corn bone soup in the pot, she hadn't seen Zhao Qingyou.

This made Zheng Wan worried, according to Zhao Qingyou's habits, as long as they agreed, they would not be absent today.

And now it's so late, could it be that Zhao Qingyou has something wrong on the road?

Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but hang high, and she didn't care about the things in the kitchen, and hurriedly opened the door, wanting to follow the route from home to the capital water supervisor, all the way to check it.

Before she finished walking Yongan Street, she saw a familiar figure at the intersection, carrying a lot of things in her hands.

Zheng Wan hurriedly greeted him and said worriedly, "Why did my sister come back so late?" ”

"I can finally go home tomorrow, so I bought some necessary things in the city, which made the lady worried."

"It's okay, I saw that my sister didn't come back for so long, and I thought something had happened, it's getting dark, sister, let's go home quickly."

Saying that, Zheng Wan decisively took off the heavy object that Zhao Qingyou was carrying in his hand and walked all the way in the direction of Zheng Zhai.

When the two of them piled up the things that Zhao Qingyou bought in the corner of the kitchen, Zhao Qingyou also noticed the bags and paper bags stacked on the side, if she remembered correctly, these things were not there yesterday, they must have been bought by Zheng Wan today.

She figured out the trick at once, it must be the door-to-door gift that Zheng Wan bought behind her back.

Immediately stood up embarrassedly, looked at Zheng Wan with a helpless look and said:

"It's not okay, this time our family wants to thank you for taking care of our family, why do you still bring things to the door? It's enough to buy just now. ”

"There are nothing valuable, I went to my sister's house to coincide with the Dragon Boat Festival, so I thought that everyone could make zongzi together, so I bought a little glutinous rice and candied fruit and pork belly, the latter as a filling. The other kitchens have it directly, or they were pickled by themselves before, and it's not worth much. As for the rest, I didn't bring any of them. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyou looked Zheng Wan up and down, checked the contents of the bag, and knew that Zheng Wan was telling the truth, so he was relieved.

There weren't many expensive preserves and pork belly to buy, which was better than she thought, because she knew that if Zheng Wan really wanted to sneak it over, she wouldn't be able to stop it directly, and now she was in a good state.
