Chapter 298: Oops, it stinks
Although the eyes of the three 'milks' and 'milk's are a little strange, Wen Lan didn't think much about it. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
After a pause, she reached out and lifted the lid on the bamboo basket.
When the 'spring' wind blows, the feeling is simply sour and refreshing.
Asked Lan with an empty hand and immediately covered her nose, and took the small bamboo basket in her hand away from herself, she asked Chu Lian with a nasal voice and some complaints, "Three 'milk' and 'milk', what the hell is this! Why is it so stinky! Is it some kind of food that has been bad for a long time." β
Chu Lian smiled and took the small bamboo basket from Wen Lan's hand, "It's not bad, this thing originally tasted like this." β
"Huh?" asked Lan Lan didn't dare to put down the hand covering her nose, she stared at Chu Lian in surprise, she couldn't imagine how such a stinky thing could be used as food.
"Can you eat this? It's black, and it smells so bad. "The taste alone is going to smoke people away, let alone eat it in their mouths.
Chu Lian smiled mysteriously, "Don't look at its bad smell, once you taste it, you will be addicted." β
Although Wen Lan didn't say anything disgusted with the stinky tofu in the small bamboo basket, her resistant eyes had already betrayed her.
Asked Lan to see the three 'milk' and 'milk' carefully washed their hands, and really wanted to deal with the stinky tofu in the bamboo basket, but he couldn't help but stop: "Three 'milk' and 'milk', otherwise don't make this dish, the two slaves and maids have done enough to make the rest of the dishes." β
This sour taste was brought to the old Zheng Guogong, and it didn't make the old man faint......
Considering that the taste of stinky tofu was indeed a bit smoky, Chu Lian thought for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll make less and eat it myself, so I won't send it to the tent." β
Ask Lan Wenqing hurriedly agreed.
They went out of the 'door' and brought a small wind stove from the Hou Mansion with a special 'door', and the charcoal was burned in the wind stove, and an iron pot made of a small special 'door' was erected on it.
Chu Lian poured the tea oil he had prepared earlier into the iron pot, heated it and began to fry the stinky tofu.
The stinky tofu is cut into squares the size of half a palm, carefully picked up with chopsticks and placed in a pan of oil.
The stinky tofu block with a black appearance falls into the golden tea oil, and small bubbles ripple around it, and after a while, the tofu begins to fluff and swell, and it can be fished up when the outer layer is blown out of a layer of burnt brown.
Because he was only ready to eat and satisfy his hunger, Chu Lian could only make a small dish, and there were only four pieces.
On the porcelain white 'fine' porcelain plate, there are four pieces of plump stinky tofu with brown in the black, and finally the slightly spicy and sweet chopped pepper sauce prepared early is spread on the fried stinky tofu.
In addition to the smelly taste, the whole plate of stinky tofu actually looks good on the plate.
Black with red, with a burnt scent.
Wen Lan, who was standing on the side, looked at Chu Lian's familiar action in a daze, and the boss with his mouth open.
She thought Chu Lian was joking before, but she didn't expect that she really made a dish out of that stinky tofu, and when she looked at it this way, she actually looked like it.
I don't know why, smelling this weird smell, she actually had the idea of wanting to go up and taste it......
Chu Lian didn't have time to care what she was thinking, she picked up a pair of clean wooden chopsticks next to her, couldn't wait to pick up a piece, put it on the side of her 'lips' and blew it, and then put it into her small mouth.
Stinky tofu with a special fragrance is eaten in the mouth, and when you bite into it, the faint taste of tofu, the burnt shell, the salty brine, the aroma of tea oil, and the sweet and sour chili sauce are slightly spicy.
Chu Lian's mouth moved quickly, and because of this long-lost familiar taste, a pair of apricot eyes narrowed in enjoyment.
Sometimes, whether a person likes to eat something or not, and whether he thinks it is delicious or not, can be seen from his facial expressions.
Now Chu Lian is an expression of enjoying food.
Because there are too many delicious foods in modern times, Chu Lian used to look ordinary no matter what dishes he taught Xiyan to ask Qing to cook.
When they ate those dishes, they all sighed that there was nothing in heaven and on earth, but Chu Lian didn't say anything special.
It makes people feel as if she grew up eating such 'fine' dishes.
Inevitably, it also made several big girls around Chu Lian feel a little frustrated.
It's rare to see a face full of enjoyment and nostalgia as it is today.
I have to say that sometimes a special 'color' snack can indeed awaken a person's special memories and make people happy.
Stinky tofu is such a flavor snack for Chu Lian.
Soon, a piece of stinky tofu was in his stomach, and Chu Lian sighed slightly with satisfaction.
Wen Lan looked at his master, but couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
She felt that she must be stunned now, obviously she didn't like the stinky taste of the black black tofu at all, why did she suddenly want to taste it now.
"Three...... Three 'milk' 'milk', what does it taste like?"
Chu Lian glanced at the small table next to her, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Don't you know if you taste it?"
Wen Lan glanced at the stinky tofu, then at Chu Lian, then closed his eyes, reached out and took the chopsticks, picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Wrapped in the mouth, it is not as unacceptable as imagined, and then I bite lightly, and the tofu is deeply filled with the juice of chili sauce, which is also slightly sweet, and there is a special taste lingering on the taste buds, washing your palate.
At first, Wen Lan only dared to chew twice, but then his mouth moved faster and faster, and when he waited for a piece to be in his stomach, he had to clamp another piece as if his hand holding the chopsticks was uncontrollable.
It's a pity that it was blocked by Chu Lian, "There are only two pieces, the rest are mine, you go and do the side." β
Asked Lan Yi reluctantly looked at the plate of stinky tofu with two pieces left, and smiled flatteringly, "Three 'milk' and 'milk', the slave and maid see that thing still has a basket, it is better to wait for the guests to prepare the meal, and the slave and maid will fry some more." β
Chu Lian knew that this girl was captured by stinky tofu, and she didn't stop her, "Cook first, and then do whatever you want to do the rest of the time." β
Ask Lan to be happy.
Old Zheng Guogong, who couldn't wait to eat, had been standing in front of the tent for a while, and the older he gets, the more like a child he becomes.
Seeing that Chu Lian had already eaten, he suddenly curled his beard and his eyes widened, so he walked over with his hands behind his back and swaggering over with a straight face.
Chu Lian picked up the chopsticks and didn't start eating the second piece of stinky tofu when he was startled by the old man who suddenly made a voice behind him.
"Jinyi, what are you stealing! What delicious food you make, and you don't know how to honor your elders!"
Old Zheng Guogong's wrinkled face is very serious, and people who don't know think that he is really angry!
If it weren't for the fact that he had more contact with this gourmet, Chu Lian really couldn't guess what this old-timer thought.
As soon as Lao Zheng Guogong came, Chu Lian didn't think about eating alone, and immediately handed a pair of clean chopsticks to Lao Zheng Guogong very wisely.
"Lao Guogong came at the right time, I was just about to ask Wenqing to send a copy, you came, try it first." β
Asked Lan looked at the old Zheng Guogong picked up a piece of stinky tofu and put it in his mouth, first chewed it slowly twice, and then his eyes lit up, and the frequency of his mouth moved much faster, she was dumbfounded, such a stinky taste, didn't the old Guogong question it?
A piece of stinky tofu went down his stomach, and old Zheng Guogong eagerly asked, "What is this? It tastes so strange, but it's delicious!"
"Stinky tofu. Chu Lian replied calmly.
Old Zheng Guogong's eyes widened, "Stinky tofu? is it really stinky tofu?"
Chu Lian was also a little speechless, "Can you smell the smell?"
The old man rolled his old eyes, "Of course, the old man's nose is fine." β
"Then you eat it so stinky?" Chu Lian was really surprised, if he hadn't eaten stinky tofu, he would definitely want to hide away when he smelled this smell for the first time, let alone taste it himself, it would be good not to scare away.
The old man had already eaten the last piece of it as he spoke.
He smashed it and smashed it, obviously unfinished.
The old man glanced at Chu Lian, "The old man saw that you had eaten, you who didn't eat food and didn't eat it enjoyed it so much, so what did the old man hesitate about." β
Not to mention that it's just this faint and stinky tofu, even if it's durian or the terrible canned herring, old Zheng Guogong will not hesitate to eat it when he sees Chu Lian eating it......
After listening to Lao Zheng Guogong's explanation, Chu Lian was really embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.
"It's called stinky tofu, make a few more copies and send them to the old man. Old Zheng Guogong put down this sentence, turned around and left satisfied.
There is no way, Lao Zheng Guogong wants to eat by name, Chu Lian can only teach Lan to make a few more points.
During lunch, there were several large pots of vegetables on a wooden table in the tent.
Although it looks like some rough ore, the amount is full and the taste is the most authentic.
It is suitable for Captain Guo, Zhang Mai, Xiao Hong' 'Yu', those who have been in the army.
Chu Lian, Sima Hui, and the county lord of Duanjia set up another table to eat behind the screen.
I made several more servings of stinky tofu, and unexpectedly, everyone liked it very much.
It is really worthy of being a folk snack sold in the streets and alleys of later generations.
During the meal, Captain Guo patted He Changdi on the shoulder beside him, "Zixiang, do you know what your face looks like now?"
He Saburo glanced coldly at the old boss beside him and snorted coldly.
Without waiting for Captain Guo to continue, Xiao Hong's 'jade' laughed, and couldn't wait to speak: "Haha, I know I know, Brother He's expression is the same as this stinky tofu, do you say it, hahaha......"
HE Changdi: ......
Zhang Mai picked up a piece of sour soup 'fat' cow and glared at Xiao Hong's 'jade', "Stinky boy, what nonsense is the truth!"
Xiao Hong's 'jade' stupidly 'touched' 'touched' her round head.
"Eat your meal!" He Changdi warned.
rubbing the food cooked by his daughter-in-law's 'wife' in his tent, there is still so much nonsense, and he has the audacity to scare him so much, does this little stunned young man really not want to 'mix'?
The tent was eating delicious food and enjoying themselves, when suddenly a guard guarding outside the tent came to report.
He Changdi put down his chopsticks and asked with a cold face, "What's the matter?"
The guard was He Changdi's personal soldier in the Northern Army, and the young man said respectfully: "Master Hou, the chief Wei is here." β
The general manager of Wei is the personal 'servant' Wei Chenghai by Emperor Chengping's side.
How did he choose the time for someone else to eat?
The conversation between He Changdi and the guards was heard by the people in the tent.
Everyone had to put down their chopsticks, and Gonggong Wei was also invited in by the guards.
Grandpa Wei entered the tent, followed by two young eunuchs, one of whom was still carrying a food box.
Gonggong Wei saluted everyone first, and then said with a smile: "Yo, it's a coincidence that the miscellaneous family came, and the old prince and the county lord are also here! β
Since he asked Chu Lian, naturally Chu Lian stepped forward to answer, "Father-in-law Wei said that he laughed, I just asked the maid to make a few home-cooked dishes." β
Father-in-law Wei's smile became more and more gentle, "The townsman laughed, the smell is smelled by the miscellaneous family over there, it's really special." β
Hearing Father-in-law Wei's words, Chu Lian almost choked on saliva.
She pretended to glance casually outside the tent, and sure enough, Emperor Chengping's luxurious tent was not far away, and the east wind was blowing today, and they were eating at the upwind outlet, and they didn't smell it at the downwind outlet.
If it weren't for Father-in-law Wei still present, the remorseful expression on Chu Lian's face would have been shown long ago.
He Changdi looked at Father-in-law Wei's strange attitude towards Chu Lian, and without waiting for Chu Lian to speak again, he stepped forward to block his wife, and took the lead in saying, "May I ask Father-in-law Wei what he is doing here?"
Wei Chenghai frowned slightly, not very satisfied with He Changdi's sudden 'interjection' of the conversation between him and Chu Lian, but he was a 'spirit' in the palace, and such a little emotion would not be shown.
His face was still smiling, "It's rare to have this opportunity, and the saint also wants to taste the craftsmanship of the Xiangjun, no, the miscellaneous family came over with a cheeky face." β
Saying that, Gonggong Wei glanced at the little eunuch behind him again, and the little eunuch was very eye-catching, and immediately presented the food box in his hand, "The saint said, you can't ask the township monarch to do it in vain, this is a reward for the township monarch." β
The elders can't say goodbye, not to mention the things that Emperor Chengping of the Dawu Dynasty rewarded.
Chu Lian took it with both hands, thanked him, and when he turned around, he glanced at He Changdi with a soothing look.
Chu Lian's movements are very fast, and the food she makes for Emperor Chengping can only be done by herself, and she can only do it by asking Qing Wenlan, and besides, she must be careful from beginning to end when making food for the emperor.
Fortunately, it was not a complicated dish, it was prepared in three quarters of an hour, and he personally 'handed over' it to Gonggong Wei and asked him to take it to Emperor Chengping's tent.
When they were done, all the people in their tents were well fed and drunk. Because there was still a hunting activity in the afternoon, everyone also dispersed back to their respective camps as soon as possible.
When only Chu Lian and He Changdi were left in the camp tent, Chu Lian opened the food box sent by Father-in-law Wei.
As soon as the food box was opened, Chu Lian opened his mouth in surprise, and the small 'fine' food box contained bird's nest.
It is not an ordinary bird's nest, but a superb snow swallow, and it is the most complete dragon tooth cup.
Such bird's nest was a tribute in the Dawu Dynasty, and only a small part of it was transported from the Xinluo Kingdom every year, and only the most noble 'women' in the palace could enjoy it.
Such ingredients are extremely valuable even in modern times.
It's just that for no reason, why did Emperor Chengping reward her with such cherished supplements......
Chu Lian stared at the heavy blood swallow in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked up at He Changdi who didn't know what he was thinking, "Husband, why did the Holy Lord send such a valuable thing, what do you mean by him?"
He Changdi's profound phoenix eyes glanced at Chu Lian, many things that happened today made him feel 'confused' for a while.
He stretched out his hand and 'rubbed' Chu Lian's little face, and then shook his head, "I can't guess what the Holy Lord means for the time being, let's wait and see." β
Chu Lian, who couldn't figure it out, simply put it aside, and then ordered Wen Qing to put away these superb blood swallows.
"When I go back, I will send it to my mother. β
Although Mrs. Jing Anbo has been cured of her stubborn illness, her body has been in deficit for so many years, and it is the time when she needs these best supplements.
He Changdi's heart warmed, and with a slight force on his arm, Chu Lian was lifted to sit on his 'legs'.
"No, my mother only sent supplements a few days ago. He Changdi pecked her soft cheek lightly and said in a low voice.
Chu Lian dragged his big hand with distinct knots to play.
"But it's useless for this blood swallow to stay with me, I'm in good health! β
Sometimes you don't need to take tonic when you are in good health, which will make your body delicate and not conducive to your health.
He Changdi didn't understand what Chu Lian meant for a while, and he didn't know how his brain was long.
He bent down slightly, and smiled in Chu Lian's ear, "What, worry is too much?" Don't worry, there is a husband, you can put out the fire whenever you want." β
Chu Lian really admired He Changdi's brain circuits, why was a normal thing so dirty when it came out of his mouth!
In Emperor Chengping's luxurious tent, Gonggong Wei put the dishes he brought back from Chu Lian in front of him.
Emperor Chengping's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the dishes in front of him, "These are all made by Lian'er?"
Now, in 'private', when there are no outsiders, Emperor Chengping has changed Chu Lian to her nickname, as if in this way, he can get close to his 'daughter'.
Gonggong Wei is a confidant of Emperor Chengping, and of course he understands why Emperor Chengping is happy.
He smiled and said: "Yes, these dishes are made by the townsman himself, and she also told the old slave that this dish is called stinky tofu, and it tastes a little strange, if the saint doesn't like it, he will withdraw it." β
Emperor Chengping's nose 'twitched', the taste of stinky tofu is indeed very weird, although it has been fried, the smell is much less than before, but the special smell is still stronger than other dishes.
But it is from Chu Lian's hand, Emperor Chengping's appearance makes people have no doubt, even if the stinky tofu in front of him is poison, he will not hesitate to taste it.
"No, I've got to taste everything. β
Since Emperor Chengping said so, Gonggong Wei naturally would not look for boring dissuasion.
Gonggong Wei called the eunuch of the special 'door' to try the poison, and Emperor Chengping couldn't wait to stretch out his chopsticks and put a piece of stinky tofu in his mouth.
Like the old Zheng Guogong, a piece of stinky black stinky tofu captured Emperor Chengping's sense of taste.
Next, he tasted other dishes, because Chu Lian was made for Emperor Chengping to eat alone, so the amount of each dish was not much, just the same bowl, even if he ate them all, he would not be able to hold it out.
Just when Emperor Chengping was in a good mood for dinner, Concubine Wei Guifei arrived with Princess Le Yao.
Before entering the imperial tent of Emperor Chengping, Emperor Chengping and Gonggong Wei heard the voice of Princess Le Yao inside.
Eleven-year-old Princess Le Yao is still a child, and her voice has a childlike crispness, but it is not pleasing.
"What does the smell of in my father's tent, why does it smell so bad, it smells so bad! What do you dead eunuchs do you eat, you actually let your father live in such a foul-smelling tent, you don't want your head anymore!"
At first, Princess Le Yao's voice was very crisp, but then it was nasal, obviously pinching her nose later.
Gonggong Wei glanced at Emperor Chengping in horror, and then immediately pretended to be a quail and shrank up.
His master's face darkened in an instant, obviously the extreme silence before the storm!
After a while, Wei Guifei's voice also sounded, "What are you still doing in a daze, didn't you hear what the princess said? Hurry up and get some 'flowers' and 'dew'!"
There was a footstep "Da Da Da" and walked away quickly, I should have listened to Wei Guifei's words to get the 'flowers' and 'dew'.
At this time, the tent curtain was lifted from the outside, and Concubine Wei Guifei led Princess Le Yao into the imperial tent.
As soon as you enter the imperial tent, the taste of stinky tofu is even stronger.
Princess Le Yao was already sensitive and disgusted by the smell of stinky tofu, she was pampered on weekdays, dressed and incense with 'flowers' and 'dew', where had she ever smelled such a bad smell, her eyes fell on Emperor Chengping's dining table for the first time, and she saw the black disgusting thing in the white porcelain plate, and determined that the unpleasant smell was emanating from that thing.
Don't need to be scared by others, Princess Le Yao can't control a gagging - vomiting......
This situation was so sudden that Wei Guifei, who was next to her, couldn't stop it.
I could only watch the 'girl' spit out the clean and dusty 'Bo's carpet in the imperial tent.
Emperor Chengping was still eating, and he was so suddenly visited by Princess Le Yao, even if it was the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, he couldn't eat it.
Grandpa Wei was stunned.
He admitted that the stinky tofu dish tasted bad, but he could still bear it, and Princess Le Yao's reaction didn't need to be so exaggerated...... This also makes the Holy Majesty how to eat.
Just now, the saint was still praising this stinky tofu for its deliciousness......
Emperor Chengping slapped the 'jade' chopsticks on the table, and said angrily: "What's the matter!"
Concubine Wei was taken aback by Emperor Chengping's 'gloomy' and unhappy look, and hurriedly ordered the palace 'girl' beside her to deal with Princess Le Yao, while answering Emperor Chengping's angry question.
"Please also ask the saint to calm her anger, Yao'er didn't mean it, she is sensitive to smell, and she is a child, with a weak spleen and stomach, and she can't help but vomit when she smells the unpleasant smell in the tent. β
"Take it down!" immediately came up, and the two eunuchs wanted to hold Princess Le Yao and send her out of the imperial tent.
Wei Guifei had no choice but to agree, she carefully walked to Emperor Chengping's side, and flattered: "The saint is Yao'er is not good, I offended you, you see that she is still a child, forgive her." β
Saying that, Wei Guifei glanced at Emperor Chengping's dining table again, stared at the black thing, and said with disgust: "Besides, this dish is really smelly, how does the imperial chef cook it, it should be punished!"
Emperor Chengping was completely out of interest, and he didn't want to listen to Wei Guifei's explanation anymore.
Waving at her, he said impatiently, "You go down too." I'm tired, I need to rest. β
Wei Guifei didn't expect Emperor Chengping to be so angry, at this time, even if she was unwilling, she could only bless Emperor Chengping and leave the imperial tent.
When Wei Guifei went out to inquire, she understood why Emperor Chengping was so unhappy.
(The sisters have small 'flowers' and 'flowers' all voted for Ah Lan, and the 'flowers' will be sent by the system every day, so they don't need money~)
