The Splendid Life of the Female Supporting Role - Chapter 14
The squirrel mandarin fish in front of me is fragrant, delicate in color, and extremely beautiful in shape like a mouse. In short, the sight of it makes my stomach a little bit eager to move. How to describe its perfection.
That will only be known.
Lin Wanfu couldn’t bear his temper, and quickly wiped his chopsticks, picked up a small piece of fish, and slowly sent it to his mouth.
This taste is really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour! Although the hot oil is poured on top and the sauce is poured on it, the fresh and fragrant taste of the fish is not concealed at all. On the contrary, it highlights its tenderness even more. One bite of the fish meat is free of thorns, bones, and fishy smells. , the taste of the egg yolk liquid that can still be eaten faintly adds the ultimate aroma to this dish!
Looking at the mouse-like appearance, every “hair” is as delicate as the real thing, when Boss Xiao Qin poured the sauce again, he could hear the sound of a mouse “Squeak”, as if if they didn’t pick up the chopsticks, the “squirrel” would come alive in an instant.
However, the three old gluttons, how can they live or not, although they are not hungry enough to stick their chests to their backs, but just now Liu Yuzhang commented on the few words of braised lion’s head, but he put a few All the greedy worms in my stomach were hooked out. At this time, my saliva was really drooling, so I immediately picked up my rice bowl and ate with your chopsticks.
“Boss Xiao Qin’s craftsmanship is really worthless!” Qing caught the fish meat with a big chopsticks in his mouth, and repeatedly gave a thumbs up to Qin Zhiyue who was still at the side. “This fish is tender and smooth, with a delicate taste. Although each piece is crispy in the mouth, it is soft and tender when chewing. It’s absolutely amazing! And this soup is sweet and sour. I won’t talk nonsense with you. I can eat three bowls of rice with this soup!”
Lin Wanfu raised his head and rolled his eyes at him, then said lightly: “You…you can eat three bowls of white rice in one go even if you don’t have any vegetables…”
Qing Cao’s head was poked to an embarrassing point, he hurriedly laughed twice, and continued to bow his head and start cooking seriously.
Master Yu, who was on the side, ate two mouthfuls of fish and looked at the jade and white jade soup on the side.
At the banquet, it must be praised and praised by His Majesty.
But unfortunately, he doesn’t like fish.
So, while the two old gluttons were eating, he brought the large porcelain bowl with jade and white jade soup beside him to him, wiped the porcelain spoon with a smile, and planned to Exclusively delicious.
Emerald White Jade Soup is also called Pearl Jade White Jade Soup in the palace banquet. Although the two only differ by the word “pearl”, just looking at the appearance of this bowl, you can already see the two The difference is actually quite big.
The palace banquet is naturally based on “pearls”, so the selection of materials is mainly based on expensive, and even real pearls and rare sea things are added to the soup. It is contrary to the original intention of this dish.
Looking at this bowl of Xiao Qin, the most authentic folk ingredients and practices are used. Looking at the bowl with some clear soup and little water, there are only a few leaves of bright green spinach. And a few pieces of tofu that look tender and smooth, and then flip it down, it is a round and jade-like gnocchi – wait, gnocchi?
Master Yu’s eyes stopped, and he reconfirmed that the main food in this bowl of jade and white jade soup was indeed gnocchi.
Yes, the most authentic Jade White Jade Soup is made of rice.
“Boss Xiao Qin, this bowl…” Master Yu frowned slightly, and wanted to say something in a displeased tone.
Qin Zhiyue seemed to have known what he was going to say for a long time, she held out her hand behind their back and raised the abacus, her voice was indifferent: “I didn’t use rice as the master of this bowl of jade and white jade soup, because the gnocchi The taste is actually the most suitable for it. It has a slightly sticky texture and a rich soup. It is supplemented by refreshing spinach and tofu. It is far more flavorful than soup and rice. .”
Master Yu’s mouth twitched, but seeing Qin Zhiyue say this, it’s not good to question anything, so he picked up the porcelain spoon and took a sip.
The entrance of the spoon made him startled.
This soup is actually fish bone soup! ? Not to mention the fresh fragrance and smoothness of the entrance, the light fishbone taste mixed with the aroma of tofu, which complements each other directly to the tongue coating, instantly activates the originally quiet taste! There is also the slightly tender, bouncy, sticky, and slippery gnocchi at the entrance. For some reason, the gnocchi that was originally tasteless was surprisingly delicious in this bowl of soup! One bite, the soup mixed with the noodles roams in the mouth, plus a mouthful of green spinach, how can this taste be a perfect word!
I have to say, the gnocchi here is indeed better than the rice!
It really corresponds to the image in the old poem “Pearl White Jade Box, Emerald Green Parrot”!
Master Yu doesn’t say anything authentic or not. At the moment, he doesn’t even need a spoon. It was cool, so when he wiped his mouth with the bowl, there was already a faint sweat on his forehead because of the smooth meridians.
This meal, the three of them were extremely happy, and they had long forgotten what happened to Liu Yuzhang just now.
After eating and drinking, Lin Wanfu rubbed his chubby belly with satisfaction, then looked at Qin Zhiyue and said, “Boss Qin, Liu Guogong came to you today, I guess you are here. There will be no diners who dare to come for a while, so you should plan to deal with it first.”
“I already thought about it when you guys were talking just now.” Qin Zhiyue just finished calculating the account at this time, stretched her waist, picked up the account book, and said, “I am a few days ago. When I came to Kyoto from Linnan in Japan, I found that there were many refugees who came to Kyoto from the border. They said that the harvest was not good this year, and they could not eat enough every day, especially on the border. How can anyone afford the food tax? So they all ran away.”
“And they have come to Beijing to complain about their grievances these few days, and they should have made some progress, so I plan to make some big pot rice or big stew based on my small restaurant in the past few days. food, so that those refugees who temporarily went to Kyoto can eat hot and delicious meals, and the money in my hand can still afford it for three days or two days.”
Well, those days are the best time.
Let her give back to the people what she has received from the people.
Moreover, with these refugees coming to eat, that Duke Liu would naturally not be willing to condescend to come, without his shock, future diners would no longer be afraid to come to her for dinner .
Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, Qin Zhiyue is very happy to plan.
However, the expressions of Lin Wanfu and the three of them stopped slightly.
The three of them have been having a headache for the past few days about the rioting of the refugees in Beijing. There is nowhere to put them in, and it seems that the emperor is overbearing when they drive them away. Lin Wanfu was also extremely helpless when he fled to the right and had no guarantee for the permanent residents.
However, Qin Zhiyue’s words made him suddenly have a way to manage the refugees.
“Okay, then you can do what you want!” Lin Wanfu was a little excited, and quickly got up and dragged the two old guys up, “I will send yamen to guard the surrounding area for the past few days. You are safe, you can do it boldly!”
Qin Zhiyue didn’t know what happened to Lin Wanfu all of a sudden, when he saw that he had dragged Qing Caotou and Master Yu away with a slash, and kept saying, “There is a way. , there is a way…”
It really means that you are not crazy or magical.
Qin Zhiyue chuckled lightly, but if even the governor of Jingzhao agrees with her idea, then there is nothing to worry about, and what should be done should be put on the agenda.
Just do what she said, Qin Zhiyue started going to the market to buy vegetables that day, just as Zhixing’s injury was almost healed, the little guy followed her around to buy ingredients, don’t look at Zhixing She was young and frail, but she was unequivocal in carrying things. Running down a few markets did indeed help her a lot.
And the next day was coming, even before the chickens crowing, Qin Zhiyue had already got up. She didn’t want to wake Zhixing, but she didn’t expect the little girl to hear When she heard the sound of getting up, she also sat up from the kang, looking at her with a slightly dark look in her eyes.
Wake up grandma.”
Zhixing nodded hurriedly, then lightly dressed and put on shoes, followed Qin Zhiyue out of the house, into the morning mist, and into the silence again A deserted Zhiyue restaurant.
At this time, the back kitchen was already full of ingredients, Qin Zhiyue said to Zhixing while sorting things, “These are all unused, remember to wash them first, wash them later. Tell me, I’m going to wash rice and prepare other things.”
Zhixing nodded again and again, rolled up his sleeves without saying a word, and started cleaning the vegetables with great ease.
Qin Zhiyue is naturally not idle, she washes rice into the pot again, and puts a sign in front of the door. When Zhixing has washed the dishes, she will start cooking again. Preparing for work, both of them were so busy hitting the back of their heads that they didn’t even have time to drink.
The hour was approaching, she finally got all the things done, and the table in front of the door was also set up.
Qin Zhiyue looked at the increasing number of pedestrians outside, and the impetuousness in her heart gradually calmed down.
In order to allow most refugees to eat hot meals, she specially made a large pot of stew, hoping to make those people who have left their homes feel here. Warm up for a moment.
The cauldron stew is about mixing some of the most common ingredients together, and adding more seasoning sauces, so that the flavors of a variety of seasonal vegetables are lingering and compatible, so as to make it fragrant and strong Fly ten miles.
Pity the people in the neighborhood, just opened their eyes, their stomachs groaned because of the strong fragrance, and everyone knows that, except for Zhiyue Restaurant, There is no other restaurant nearby that cooks such delicious food!
So just for a moment, there are many anxious and panic voices in the crowd:
“As soon as you smell it, you know it’s not a Zhiyue Restaurant! Please don’t act rashly, I’ll come back when I check it out!”
