Chapter 115: Shanzhen Seafood Noodles
After hearing what Du Yueniang said, everyone quickly praised it.
"It's still the eldest lady who is considerate and considerate. If the master knew that his wife was so kind, he would definitely be moved."
"Does the eldest lady need young people to help you? The kitchen smoke smells so bad that it will be bad if it is fumed!"
Du Yueniang shook her head with a smile on her face.
"No need, I used to make soup for the master like this. He likes the food I cook, and this little thing is nothing.
She said so, and everyone had to extinguish their desire to help her and continue to be busy with their own affairs.
Du Yueniang rolled up her sleeves, and Su Muwan saw this and took water to let her wash her hands.
There was a pot of boiling water on the fire. Su Muwan looked at Qingfeng and nodded when she saw him, she knew that this was the water he had processed.
She quickly opened the lid of the pot, and sure enough, she could barely smell the smell of medicine in the heat coming to her face.
Seeing this, Du Yueniang knew that Qingfeng was ready, so she took a large bowl of flour from the dough tank, added some water to it, and rubbed it with even serious expression.
Although she hasn't done it for several years, Su Muwan feels that her movements are very skillful, just like she has done it countless times.
After Du Yueniang finished the dough, she threw it on the chopping board, spread it into a thin slice with a rolling pin, then picked up a knife and cut it into thin noodles, and then sprinkled some flour on it to prevent it from sticking together for a while.
She turned around the floor where the ingredients were piled in the kitchen, and picked out a few river shrimps, a large handful of mushrooms, and two eggs from a pile of vegetables, fish and meat.
The servant in the kitchen could not help but say something when he saw her movements.
"Madam, the river shrimp was delivered in the morning. It is no longer very fresh now and the fishy smell is very strong. You should change the ingredients!"
Du Yueniang shook her head, her face very confident.
"It doesn't matter, what your master likes is this fishy smell."
When the servant heard what he said, he was a little skeptical.
Du Hua has never eaten any delicacies on weekdays. How could he like the smell of this fishy, stale and stale river shrimp?
However, he did not dare to question Du Yueniang's words, after all, they were husband and wife.
Du Yueniang picked the shrimps open, took out the black shrimp thread, and cut it into a cross knife on the mushrooms.
She poured oil into the wok, and when the oil warmed up the climate, she casually put some leftover green onions, ginger and garlic on the chopping board, stir-fry for a few times, and then put the river shrimp and mushrooms in it.
The river shrimp "Zira" sounded into the pot and turned red when it came to hot oil, but the fishy smell became stronger and stronger.
After she saw that the stir-frying in the pot was almost the same, she added a few large spoons of boiling water from the next pot.
When the pot started to bubble, I put the noodles I had just cut in and stirred them with chopsticks for a few times.
I also knocked two eggs into the pot. After doing this easily, I covered the pot and simmered for a while.
Finally, when Su Muwan saw that the noodles were almost done, she took a large porcelain bowl and handed it to Du Yueniang. She directly took the pot and poured all the noodles inside into the bowl.
In this way, it is done.
Everyone in the kitchen thought Du Yueniang would make some strange meals, but she didn't expect that she just put in a bowl of noodle soup at all.
Will the master really like this noodle soup? Many people were thinking in their hearts.
Su Muwan put the porcelain bowl on the tray, covered it with a lid to keep it warm. She took another pair of bowls and chopsticks and placed it next to it, and prepared to get up and go to deliver the meal with Du Yueniang.
But Du Yueniang stopped her and said, "Pick up another pair of bowls and chopsticks!"
Although Su Muwan was a little curious, she took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks as she said.
Du Yueniang also took a small plate of vinegar and placed it on the tray. Then the two of them left in a hurry.
Seeing their leaving figures, Qingfeng first poured out the remaining hot water in the pot while the person was not paying attention, and then followed slowly.
When he arrived at the study room, Zhi saw that the door was as Su Muwan had expected. There were several guards guarding him. When he saw Du Yueniang, he hurriedly informed him inside.
"Report to the master, the eldest lady is here!"
Du Hua was recording the silver notes that everyone had handed over today. These were what he had received for him, so naturally he didn't have to write them in the account book for Shangguan Qian, but just in his own book.
He looked at the silver notes in his hands and felt very happy.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the voice of the guard. He felt a little puzzled. Isn’t Yue Niang feeling unwell and going back to rest? Why did she come suddenly at this time?
Although he was not sure about the reason, he still put away his things and asked the guards to let Du Yueniang come in.
As soon as he saw Du Hua, before he could ask his doubts, Du Yueniang explained it himself.
"Master, I see that you are only interested in drinking tonight and don't eat anything. I'm afraid you will get hungry in a while, so I thought of putting a bowl of noodles with you and wanting you to keep your stomach."
She looked at Du Hua's eyes full of worry and concern, making Du Hua feel warm in his heart.
"This is a troublesome lady, but you just need to ask the servants to do it, why do you have to do it yourself?"
Du Yueniang smiled and said nothing, asking Su Muwan to put the tray on the table, just looking at him.
In fact, Du Hua didn't want to eat it too much. An Qinru was poisoned in the morning and made him feel something was wrong, so he was very uneasy. He was a little worried about the food at this moment.
How could Du Yueniang not know what he was thinking? So she asked Su Muwan to prepare two sets of bowls and chopsticks just now. She walked to the table, opened the porcelain bowl, and put out two bowls of noodles, and said to Du Hua.
"Master, is it meaningless to eat alone? I'll eat with you. It just so happens that my husband and I haven't eaten together for many years."
As soon as she opened the porcelain bowl, Du Hua smelled a very familiar smell in his memory and shouted in surprise.
"Is this the delicacies of the sea?"
Du Yueniang nodded with a smile, reached out and handed him a bowl, and put another bowl in front of her. Regardless of how Du Hua reacted, she smiled and spoke at him.
"I'm hungry when I smell this smell, so I don't care about the master and eat it first."
After saying that, she picked up a chopstick noodles and put them into her mouth. She ate two or three bites in a row before putting down the chopsticks.
"Master, why don't you eat yet? I remember you are always very hungry at night."
Seeing that she was eating sweetly, Du Hua naturally gave up his concerns, and reached out to pick up the chopsticks and started eating.
As soon as the first mouthful of noodles reached his stomach, he said with emotion.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, the taste of your delicacies has not changed yet, just like what I used to eat."
He pointed at the river shrimps and mushrooms in the bowl with his chopsticks and spoke slowly.
"At that time, you and my family were poor and could not afford any good ingredients. You put down a fishing net by the river every day, cooked a few river shrimps, and went up the mountain to pick some fresh mushrooms. You took these two ingredients to make a bowl of noodles for me every day."
"I thought it was so delicious when I ate it in my mouth. It was simply a delicious food that was not as good as the delicacies in this world, so I called it the delicacies noodles."
Du Yueniang smiled at him, as if she was immersed in her memory, with tears in her eyes.
Before Du Hua had won the exam, he often studied until midnight, and the amount of food he had eaten at night had long been digested, so he was naturally hungry.
So at that time, Du Yueniang always got up in the middle of the night to give him this bowl of delicacies and abundance for him. With this bowl of noodles, he had the strength to study during the long night.
Later, after becoming an official, he had eaten all the delicacies in the world and tasted real delicacies, but he was not the one who was happy with a bowl of noodles back then.
Du Yueniang knew this very well, so no matter how gentle her face and how watery her eyes looked, the only thought in her heart was to avenge her son.
"Master, take a look. I also gave you two poached eggs in the bowl. If this were to be taken back then, it would be a treatment that would only be available during festivals."
Du Yueniang said to Du Hua with joy. After hearing this, Du Hua stretched out his chopsticks and pulled them into the bowl twice, and indeed saw the two eggs she mentioned.
He picked up one with chopsticks and took a bite. The warm and soft flowing yellow finally melted in his mouth, just like the same as what he remembered.
This familiar taste, in this chilly night, made Du Hua feel as if he had returned to the past, and he felt a little guilty about Du Yueniang.
He looked at Du Yueniang's face under the candlelight and thought to himself.
This woman followed her when she was in poverty, but after she became successful, she was a little crazy because of the stimulation, so she ignored her for three or four years.
If you ask who is the most sincere to me in this world, she is probably the only one.
As for An Qinru, she married herself because it was the order of her parents, and the second was because she was resigned from the bride in the capital, lost her reputation and had no way out, so she chose herself.
Du Hua hurriedly finished eating the noodles in the bowl, then grabbed Du Yueniang's hands and said seriously with his eyes.
"Yue Niang, I know your intentions, and I also know that Feng'er's death has dealt a lot to you. It has really hurt you for so many years, but don't worry, I will definitely never leave you in the future."
"If the wife and concubine who come in the house has a child, I will bring it to you first, so I will treat it as Feng'er, the two of us?"
Du Yueniang sneered in her heart, and hug her to herself?
Did he think this would make him forget the pain of losing his son? She, Du Yueniang, isn't interested in him and the remaining children of others!
All the children are not as sensible and obedient as Feng'er, but like this, he was wiped out by Du Hua's words.
