Husband, Have Dinner - Chapter 194
“Ahem, Li Rou, see what’s happening outside?”
While looking for cold water, she let Li Rou look at the situation with a dumb voice.
Li Rou lifted the curtain a little, and glanced at it for a few moments, “Someone outside is impetuous, shouting at our old diners, saying they are too noisy.”
“Are you familiar?”
“No, he seems to be a newcomer. He is so ugly, his face is full of pockmarks, and there is a lot of oil, hey…” Li Rou said in disgust, and suddenly noticed that A Yao grabbed a few medicines and put them in a tureen. The red dates were broken. Divide into two and half, throw the quarter of the red dates into a tureen, carry the copper pot and pour hot water for brewing, quickly pour out most of the hot water, pour in cold water, close the lid and pass it to Li Rou. “Let Li Gang come over and pick it up, let him have a word…”
“Our chef said this is for you to drink. Don’t get angry on a hot day. It’s easy to hurt your body. Drink a cup of tea to calm your anger.”
Li Gang offered a bowl of tea, and the man glimpsed at several old diners triumphantly, “See you, Miss Yao asked me to drink it. Oh, the best tea is still used.”
He deliberately opened the lidding bowl and shook it in front of the diners, “Miss Yao still loves me in her heart.”
Li Gang hesitated to speak but stopped.
The corners of the mouths of a few old diners trembled, and they wanted to be upturned, but they had to take into account the mood of this “student” who was not working on all fours and limbs, and could not laugh for the time being.
Old buddy, the corners of your mouth are almost open to your ears, and you’re almost ready. If you want to laugh, you have to wait until he finishes drinking at least.
They reminded each other with their eyes, and couldn’t help but smile and stood up and turned their backs to the “reader”.
The “student” who didn’t know anything about this took a sip, and it spewed out immediately, and the bowl slammed on the table with a clanging sound, “Bah, baah, what a thing, it’s so bitter! Did you get it wrong!”
“Our chef said, it’s hot today. I made a lotus seed heart dandelion tea specially for you. I added a small amount of Coptis chinensis powder to clear away heat and detoxify. I was worried that you might find it difficult to eat. She still added it. The red dates are slightly sweet.” Li Gang said, “She said, after drinking her cup of tea, if the guests dare to harass the diners at will, our shop will not entertain them.”
“good!”
The old diners applauded, “Young man, this lotus seed heart dandelion tea is a good thing. It will clear the heart and relieve the heat. If you have a cup, maybe the… on your face will be better.”
“Shut up!” Being poked at his unspeakable weakness, the “student” became angry and vacillated in his heart. The problem of his face is what he cares about most. What if it is effective if he drinks it?
Just when he was in a stalemate, Li Gang brought another tray from the kitchen and walked a long way to avoid the scholar, “The drink you ordered is here.”
He yelled to attract the eyes of the old diners, who looked forward to rubbing their hands, “Let me see.”
Inside the tray are white porcelain bowls for cockfighting, blue and white bowls, a few cups, and chrysanthemum-patterned bowls like hats. There are also bowls with a similar style to that of the scholar’s hand.
While reporting the name of the dish, Li Gang sent the blue and white bowl to the counterpart, “The ice is made of sugar and mung beans. Please use it slowly and don’t eat too quickly.”
The rim of the bowl is cool, it seems to be put in ice water. The mung bean paste tastes sizzling. The sugar mung bean made by others is mung bean and granulated sugar. A Yao’s mung bean paste follows the practice of her previous family. Adding kelp to mung bean paste, kelp is cold in nature and diures water; mung bean is cool in nature, both of them have the effects of clearing heat and relieving heat, clearing liver and reducing fire in summer. The thickness and width of the kelp directly affects the perception of the person who eats this bowl of sugar water. If the kelp is cut too thin and too long, the kelp will be difficult to scoop. If the kelp is thick, it is troublesome to chew, so she chooses a thinner kelp and cuts it into one finger. It’s less than half the width and one finger length.
After it’s done, put the bowl into the ice water that is still floating with ice **** soon after it melts.
What the customer asked for is ice.
Sugared mung beans are iced. More water and less beans will have a better texture than thick. The cool and cold mung bean water slides across the throat with a hint of ice. In this ghostly weather when sitting and sweating, there is this bowl of iced mung bean water. , I feel that my pores are relaxed, and I feel a cold wind rushing toward my face.
Li Gang handed out a white porcelain bowl, “The sweet soup is red beans, lotus seeds and lilies.”
Compared with mung bean water, there is more water and less beans. The sweet soup has more ingredients than water and is thicker. Every spoonful is scooped with lotus seeds and lilies. It is slightly iced, and it is not hot when it is just out of the pot. Ayao iced it to room temperature. The state is taken out.
Li Gang “Sweet and sour are oranges and lemons.”
Speaking of this, it is normal. There is no special highlight. Just when they thought about it, they heard Li Gang serving two bowls of light brown, no oily drinks, one of which had a few pears, and said–
“Slightly bitter back to sweetness, add some salt, no tea, and no licorice. Drinking bitter gourd is fried.”
“Qing and sweet, not too sweet is Houttuynia cordata Fengshui pear soup.”
Old diners “…”
The bitter gourd frying is justified, wait, what is the houttuynia cordata? Isn’t Houttuynia the Houttuynia they thought?
Seeing them at a loss, Li Gang’s little light bulb lit up, explaining that “Houttuynia cordata is the root of the ears.”
The diners who ordered the sweet drink were very repulsive of the taste of Zheergen, and immediately resisted it, shouting “No! I refuse! What do you think of scallops? Can this thing be drunk!”
Ayao opened the curtain and walked out, wiping her hands. “You can drink, of course you can drink. It is really sweet. If you smell it, there is nothing other than the taste of pears and rock sugar. But if you really don’t like it, I’ll replace it with sugar mung beans for you?”
“Change it.” He nodded hurriedly, and A Yao went back to change him for green bean paste.
The diners who took bitter gourd fry came over, eager to try, “You give it to me, I want to taste what it tastes like.”
“It’s good to dare.” He rejected Zheergen, and at the same time he was curious about what it would be like to cook the Zheergen with pears. Now someone is willing to dedicate themselves to being a guinea pig, he couldn’t ask for it.
The other two got the normal drink sweet soup and joked, “Look at you two bowls, they are bitter and sweet, how do you plan to drink it?”
Diners “try bitter gourd frying first, bitter first and then sweet. If it’s sweet and then bitter, I can’t stand the taste.”
Ayao smiled and said, “This kind of taste you said is really there. On the southern side of Caiyun, the local people entertain guests and have three courses of tea, roasting half a cup of bitter tea, sweet tea is added with brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk fan. Milk fan is a kind of cheese, and the other sweet tea is brown sugar and honey. The last one is sweet tea with pepper leaves. It can be said to be one bitter, two sweet and three sweet.”
Diners “first bitter and sweet and then sweet again, is also a kind of life truth.”
Ayao just laughed and abandoned the philosophy of life. If she talks about the taste alone, she prefers to drink it upside down. The sweet tea tastes strange, and the sweet tea is too sweet. Instead, it is a good choice to use bitter tea to sweeten it.
He took a sip, felt the taste of it, clicked his mouth… and swallowed.
“How about it?”
“Wait for me to try again.”
In this way, mouthful after mouthful, the bowl bottomed out, and he let out a comfortable sigh, “It’s refreshing and comfortable, and the entrance temperature is just right…”
“Did we listen to you, taste, the most important taste.”
“It’s not unpleasant at all, and it’s not surprising. It’s slightly bitter and not astringent. The point is to slowly produce a sweet fragrance after entering the throat. This taste is different from tangerine peel or licorice, with a little salt added to it. It’s like drinking soup. Girl scallops, is it just bitter gourd here?”
Ayao listened with a smile, got up and walked to him and introduced, “I use dried bitter gourd. I added dried oysters and a candied date to the decoction. The soup with bitter gourd and pork bones is also very good. Choose, it’s best for summer. You can try pear soup again.”
The “student” looked at A Yao for a long time, her eyes were straight, but A Yao couldn’t feel it. When the diners asked her, she walked to the side of the old diners calmly, so she felt safe.
“Girl Yao…”
The scholar spoke, and the new diners slapped their thighs and shouted, interrupting him, “Oh, scallops, if you didn’t let him say it was Zheergen Fengshui Pear Soup at first, I really can’t taste it, it’s sweet and refreshing, drink it. It will feel sour after going down, is it easy to do?”
“It’s easy to make. You can also make it at home. Pears are cut into pieces and cored, and boiled together with rock sugar and water. They are boiled and put on the ear roots and boil for two quarters of an hour. After cooking, the fishy smell will no longer appear. Since pears have moisturizing effects, this soup can be drunk in summer and autumn.”
“Good, good.”
“Does it really taste so good?” the diners next to him asked.
Ayao turned her eyes, went back to the kitchen to collect a few small cups, scooped a spoonful of them among the small cups, and carried them out. “You can try it. You will taste it until what he said is true or false, and it’s free.”
It’s free!
Just a sip, try it and you won’t lose anything. Diners, you have a cup and I have a cup, and the tray is empty.
“Huh? It tastes really good. It feels like drinking pear water. It tastes different than pear paste. It uses rock sugar? It seems a bit expensive…”
“I feel very comfortable after drinking, and I don’t feel dry mouth still wanting to drink water. How much is a bowl?”
“Two cents.”
Whenever the “reader” wanted to talk to A Yao, he was preempted by the enthusiastic and curious diners, or his voice was drowned in the crowd, so he had to stare at A Yao with scorching eyes.
He hoped that A Yao would notice him and let him talk aside. In the crowd, he couldn’t hold back his face and asked A Yao why he disagreed with the marriage. He told others to teach others that he was a brilliant talent and was rejected by a cook who refused to marry him. What a shame!
After all these people are gone, when Yaozhu comes home, he will ask again.
All this was watched by Sun Niang.
“Saozhu, Dabao is going to eat the mash. Come and help me.” Sunniang called her at the edge of the kitchen and walked into the kitchen by herself. Looking out of the gap, sure enough, that person…
“What’s wrong?”
Grandma asked her to silence and whispered
“Now you go home from the back door. Be careful if anyone is following you on the way. I have been paying attention all afternoon. The pocky-looking person has been watching you for a long time, and his eyes are not right.”
Watching you for a long time.
When Ayao heard this, the worried-looking person immediately appeared in her mind, and her scalp was numb. She embraced her arm, and solemnly thanked her grandson, “I will, thank you for reminding me.”
A Yao stopped staying, and immediately slipped away from the back door.
The sun is hidden behind the clouds, but it still can’t hide its light and heat. The stone road is hot from the sun, and when you step on the cloth shoes with several layers of soles, you can still feel the endless heat from the soles of your feet and the top of your head. It’s also hot.
A Yao quickened her pace, looking at all directions nervously.
After that, I brought Ergouzi when I went to the foot shop every day, and reduced the frequency to the lobby. She heard Li Gang and Song Fang say that the pocky “student” hadn’t been in the shop since that day.
After being so tight for a few days, the string quietly loosened.
However, she still relaxed too early.
