Chapter 1145 [1144] Little Lady of Taste 38 (4000+)

On a quiet night, the inn was singing and dancing, and the cups were mixed, and waves of officials came to visit, and praised the identity of Prince of Nanyang, which was highly regarded by the same father and mother, because they could only have one twin son. He, the legitimate son who was only a few months later than the other party, had to live a dark life since childhood. In order to survive, he hid from Song to Jin.

But who would have thought that in ten years, the State of Song will replace the State of Jin, and in the future, he will live under the control of his biological father and brother?

A contemptuous smile appeared on Yu Jingtian's face.

Why did the Emperor of Song prohibit the royal family from having twins?

Because he and his father, King Nanyang, were twins. Now, they are friendly and respectful, and the king and minister are polite, but in fact, the ambitious King Nanyang is simply dissatisfied with the status quo. It is precisely because of his ambition that he has stifled his sense of existence.

Since he was a child, he was secretly sent by his mother and sent someone to take good care of him, but he was shameless after all.

The mother only had them in middle age. The rest of the children in the family were concubines. She loved him very much, but so what?

When it was time to stop, she was more sober than anyone else.

He hated such a sense of restraint, so he ran away and came to the Jin Kingdom. Even if he was a beggar, he would not regret it.

However, when he heard that the Nanyang King and his son were going to take over the Jin Kingdom, he couldn't help but come. He just wanted to see what the difference between him and him was because he was born one hour earlier than him?

In the dark night, he stood quietly in front of the window and did not move for a long time.

When it was almost dawn, he packed up silently and left the place. After all, it was not his and it was useless to force it.

There was no one on the street in the early morning. He walked in a depressed mood. Even though he passed by Shen Qing, who was pushing a cart, neither of them recognized each other. He touched the beard on his face and smiled bitterly.

In the future, I am afraid that if there is a place where the prince of Nanyang appears, he will not be able to show his true face to others?

Unexpectedly, even if I left Song State, I could not escape the shadow brought to him by the family.

He looked around and thought of Shen Qing. Didn’t that guy Lin Sen arrive in the mansion? He didn’t know which inn to stay in?

Lin Sen didn't go out today, but when he got up, Shen Qing disappeared again.

"This man got up so early every day, what did he do when he went out?"

How could Shen Qing let him follow him? She had been around the city this morning and sold it almost as soon as the city gate opened, and then she collected the cart and went outside the city. She found a place where there was no one, filled a cart and continued to sell it. She sold it almost until almost noon and could make two or three taels of silver.

This money is much more convenient and quicker than the old farmers. In fact, the main reason is that the quality of vegetables is good and fresh, otherwise no matter how high the price is, no one will be there?

However, Shen Qing didn't return to the city after selling the goods today because she met a chef who specialized in the red and white banquets for others at the market today.

She became interested at that time. After the other party bought the vegetables, she asked tentatively: "Can I go and help you?"

The chef was stunned and thought she wanted to do something, so she explained directly.

"I heard that your village banquet tastes very good. I want to try it. I will help you with the kitchen. Do you think it is for me?"

Actually, she didn't help, mainly because she wanted to see how the chef made a village banquet.

If you learn this village banquet and master the skills, it will be a talent for you!

Because the village banquet is divided into local characteristics, one by one, if she can travel around the country, she can accumulate a lot of experience. She is a chef herself, and she can see some steps at a glance, which is why she proposed to help the chef.

However, the chef felt that her reason was far-fetched: "You sell vegetables, and your home is not here? It should be easy to eat a village banquet, right?"

Shen Qing was stunned. Obviously she didn't expect to be rejected. And judging from what she meant, she was quite alert. Why was she afraid that she would cause trouble?

She explained: "I am not a local, and I have sold these dishes wholesale from others. Otherwise, why is the price so high?"

The chef still had some doubts about her, and Shen Qing did not force her when she saw this.

"If you are worried, forget it. Actually, I just want to have a village banquet. I really have no other intentions."

The chef thought about it and he had never seen her before, and the man's eyes were clear and bright, not like a bad person, and he lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"Okay, come with me, your cart?"

"Oh, then wait a moment, I'll take the cart home and come home, very quickly."

The chef definitely has no time to wait for her, "I want to buy something more. Half an hour later, will you see the willow trees in the distance? I'm waiting for you there, remember, it won't be overdue."

Shen Qing nodded quickly and was about to leave, but the chef did not forget to say to her: "Dinner time is tomorrow, and preparations are made today and tomorrow. There is no place to sleep at night. If you do,"

"It's okay, I'll go and help. I'll find a place to sleep at night."

Seeing this, the chef didn't say anything, but Shen Qing thought that if she didn't come back this night, she had to say hello to Lin Sen.

Half an hour was enough for her toss and go back and forth.

But I didn't expect that when I ran to the inn, Lin Sen didn't even go out.

"What did you do? Why did you come back? I'm hungry. Let's go for a walk, let's go for a meal and say as I walk."

Shen Qing frowned, but she didn't expect that he didn't go out. What should I do?

After thinking about it, I still told the truth: "Or you go and eat by yourself. I have to go to the city gate to find someone's chef!"

Village banquet?

Lin Sen twitched the corner of his mouth: "You really have a unique taste. What's the delicious food for a village banquet in the countryside?"

"Taste the local characteristics, you, that's it, don't follow me. You're busy with yours. I'm fine anyway, so I'll go and have a look."

Lin Sen knew that her biggest hobby was to collect delicious food, and she didn't stop her, let alone follow her, because she might have to go out at any time.

"Then be careful and find a fellow villager's house to stay overnight so you don't have to walk at night, so you should pay attention to safety."

After repeated instructions, she was let go.

Shen Qing arrived at the city gate as fast as possible. Fortunately, the chef and his wife were looking around for her, so he quickly followed.

When they came, they drove a donkey cart, which was full of ingredients, but they were all vegetarian dishes.

The aunt in the car had already learned about her origin and hurriedly informed her.

"You are lucky this time. This time it's Liu Yuanwai's father outside the city to celebrate his 60th birthday. We are invited to cook. They have a farm at home, so we don't have to worry about the job of slaughtering pigs and sheep. But this is the time when the green and yellow are not accepted, so it's easy to buy vegetables. So I came to the Fucheng to take a look. I didn't expect that you have a few fresh dishes in your hand."

Oh, it’s better to celebrate the birthday of the official’s family, so the specifications of this table should be quite high.

Two hundred people have 24 dishes, but she hasn't seen the menu yet, just talking about the price, she can't tell whether the price is expensive or cheap.

The donkey cart was carrying people on the winding dirt road. The aunt was the chef's wife. Their team was all my family, nieces, nieces, nieces, and nieces, as well as their own son, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law. The others were all busy at home, and the old couple came out to buy vegetables.

When asked about Shen Qing's origin, she said with a smile: "I love to eat and look for delicious food everywhere. Every cook in this village banquet feels different, so I want to eat more, but our season is not good. Not only is the price of vegetables expensive, but there are still few varieties."

When the aunt heard this, she nodded suddenly: "It's not that. If June is behind, we wouldn't be as worried as we are now. The menu has been set and changed, but it's hard for us to die."

When Shen Qing followed them into the kitchen of Yuanwai Mansion, she found that it was busy and started making a stove in advance for tomorrow's birthday party. This stove has the feeling of a magical earth stove in western Henan, and it cannot be said to be exactly the same, but its effects are similar. It not only saves vitality, but also keeps the ingredients in the maximum heat.

This kind of stove is made of mud mixed with soil and straw.

There are nine stoves in total, each stove has a ventilated stove underneath, and there are places for firewood under the first and last stoves.

There are more than a dozen people in their family, and each of them has a responsibility for washing, washing, cutting, frying, and frying. Some people specialize in watching the heat, so that they can perform their duties in an orderly manner.

In fact, the day before the birthday party was trivial work and I couldn't learn anything. But Shen Qing felt that since she was here to observe, because she planned to form such a team in the future, she studied very carefully what each of them was doing. While imprinting these pictures into her mind, she did not forget to take time to hide in the space to paint and take pictures, so that she could leave it to her disciples to observe and study in the future.

Unfortunately, she came late. The earthen stove had been built and was burning firewood to dry. While she looked carefully, she did not forget to ask the master of the production how to build this stove so that it can maximize its effectiveness.

The other person didn't hide anything from her, and he said everything he should know.

Next is washing dishes and scrubbing tables, chairs and benches. These are all prepared by the owner, so they don’t have to do it.

However, many later generations even wrapped tables, chairs, benches and tableware. She felt that such a thing was more worry-free. However, in ancient times, it was a bit difficult, and the main reason was that there was a car in later generations. Where did you go to find such a large means of transportation in this era?

No matter how this menu is drawn up, she is sure that there is no beef.

In this era, beef was not something you could slaughter just by wanting it. It was labor force. At least before the 1980s, beef was not delicious.

But when she saw the menu, she was so surprised that she hurriedly took it over and asked the chef: "Can there be beef?"

When the chef saw her surprised, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't know this, right? The other person has his own farm outside, and it must be the eliminated old ox. This time, there is not only beef, but also mutton and pork. The meat is not short of it. What is lacking is the matching vegetables. The owner is also more kind. There are twenty-four dishes on a table, and the person who eats the table tomorrow will be happy."

Shen Qing looked at the menu carefully and found that four of the 24 dishes were soup.

As the saying goes, eat chicken first when eating a big meal, so the first place in the menu is roast chicken. She had four or five kinds of roast chicken alone, and she didn't know what the chef planned to make.

There is no chicken or fish. When she saw the chicken, she guessed whether the next type would be fish, but she didn't expect it to be true.

There are many kinds of fish, braised fish, spicy fish, oil-splashed fish, steamed fish, and you can make it any way you want. The menu of this restaurant says oil-splashed fish, which must be spicy.

If you want to eat well, you have to eat full. Big elbows are definitely indispensable. This is an indispensable hard dish when eating a mat.

Shen Qing found out that there were ten tables in their table tomorrow. Even if they killed pigs, sheep, and cattle, they could not guarantee that each table would have elbows?

The chef laughed and said, "There are only one or two killings of pigs, sheep, and cattle. If you don't have enough, go buy them! Anyway, we don't have to worry about the meat. Write a list to report it. You just need to prepare it early tomorrow morning."

Just think about it, the table is not made according to the whole cattle and sheep, but is divided into parts.

"There are chickens, ducks, fish farms, and it's enough to handle it. This is also convenient."

The fish are all big carp or grass carp. They are not small in size and have been shipped. Now they are soaked in water. This night shouldn’t be overturned. Once you kill it tomorrow morning, you can just put it in the pot and make it.

The fourth dish is crispy pork made with pork and crispy meatballs.

The fifth dish prepared pork ribs, which are sauce-flavored pork ribs.

The sixth dish is still fish, but it is not oil-splashed fish, but fried fish pieces, all of which are big fish pieces. It is good to eat this if you can't get used to spicy food.

The seventh dish is the dry-fried chicken gizzard. Chicken gizzard is a treasure on the chicken and has medicinal value. It is also very good to make dishes.

The eighth dish of braised pork, I don’t know if the braised pork is sliced ​​or chunk, but the braised pork on the pancake on the big mat will be snatched up as soon as it is served. Some people add two slices of chopsticks and don’t leave any chance for the people behind to eat. It’s very cruel.
