Datang Nongwang

Chapter 16

"Yuan'er, what's the name of this dish? Why does it look a little dark?" In the hall, the old lady pointed at a dish with chopsticks and asked.

However, the state of the old lady at this time can be described as incredible.

Not to mention the taste of the food.

As far as this fragrance and this color are concerned, if a modern person takes a look, he will definitely have a strong appetite.

"Aniang, this dish is called braised pork, come here, I'll get a piece for Auntie." Li Chongyuan explained while putting a piece of meat in the old lady's bowl.

"Huh? Delicious, delicious, very delicious." After eating a piece impatiently, the old lady praised again and again.

If it is delicious, it can only be said in this era.

After all, there is no rock sugar, and it is impossible to use rock sugar to cook braised pork, so caramel can only be used instead.

Fortunately, soy sauce has long been available in this era, otherwise even braised pork would not be able to be made.

As for chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, Li Chongyuan used a stupid method.

After drying the boiled eggs, add dried shrimps and grind them into powder to enhance the flavor of the dishes. This is also a stupid method that Li Chongyuan, who is a foodie, knew in his previous life.

Of course, there are more methods, but right now it is difficult to test one by one.

"Aniang, this dish is called steamed egg, I'm sure she likes it." Li Chongyuan scooped up another small bowl of steamed egg and handed it to the old lady.

"It really melts in the mouth, it's extremely smooth and tender, and this dish is even more delicious. I'm so blessed to be able to eat the dishes cooked by Yuan'er." The old lady didn't dare to eat more braised pork, after all, it was still a bit greasy.

But for this steamed egg, I have a soft spot.

"Yuan'er, what is this dish?" After eating the steamed eggs, the old lady pointed to the soup and asked.

"Aniang, this soup is called rot paste, but because of the lack of some ingredients, it can only be made like this." Li Chongyuan was really embarrassed when asked by the old lady.

Originally, he wanted to make an authentic rot paste for the old lady, but when he first started making it, he realized that he forgot that there is no sweet potato flour in this era.

Putrid ointment, also known as tiger ointment.

Its ingredients are mainly tofu.

White tofu, deep-fried tofu, lean meat, eggs, white radish, enoki mushroom, and sweet potato powder used at the end can complete an authentic rotting paste soup.

but.

There are no enoki mushroom and sweet potato powder, so Li Chongyuan can only use other things instead.

Although it is somewhat different from the authentic putrefaction paste, the taste is even better.

Perhaps it is because the ingredients of this era are all high-quality and organic ingredients, which makes the taste of this rancid paste much better than that cooked by Li Chongyuan in his previous life.

"Okay, this soup is even more delicious, Yuan'er, this steamed egg, and what is this dish called putrefaction, you can teach the cook in the house, and A Niang can eat it without using Yuan'er in the future It's here." The old lady praised again after drinking the bean paste soup.

"Aniang wants to eat, the baby can make it for Aniang anytime." Li Chongyuan replied with a smile.

"Aniang knows that Yuan'er is filial to her, but Aniang can't tire Yuan'er because of my mouth." The old lady said happily.

"It's right for my son to cook for my mother. Why don't you be tired, but my son is a little far away from here. In order for my mother to eat good dishes at any time, I will send someone back to call the cook later. Come to me, and I will teach her how to cook more dishes, so that Auntie can eat delicious dishes at any time." Seeing that the old lady was happy, Li Chongyuan was also happy.

"Auntie, let's not talk about it. Eat the food while it's hot. If it's not enough, I'll go and make some for Auntie." Li Chongyuan just finished speaking, and the old lady was about to speak again, so he quickly persuaded the old lady. .

"Okay, then Aniang will enjoy Yuan'er's blessing once." The old lady responded with a happy smile.

The old lady seems to have a big appetite today.

At least, as far as Li Chongyuan knew, the old lady couldn't eat much before, mainly because she had been immersed in sadness and her health was getting worse.

Now, come to Li Chongyuan's house.

Li Chongyuan's performance made the old lady very happy, and she even had some confidence in her speech.

In a flash, he ate two bowls of steamed eggs and drank a bowl of bean paste soup.

Even the old lady ate some of the two vegetarian dishes and the two meat dishes.

"Yuan'er, you..."

Just as the old lady put down her chopsticks and was about to talk to Li Chongyuan, a loud voice came from afar, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, Wan'er is here to see you, look, I bought you a gift."

Li Chongyuan immediately knew it was his youngest sister Li Wan'er when he heard the cry.

Li Wan'er, nearly seven years old this year, looks cute, but her personality and appearance are opposite, very carefree.

Compared with Li Chongyuan, it seems even worse.

In Li Chongyuan's words, Li Wan'er is a typical female man, and she is also a violent woman.

However, although Li Wan'er is careless like a man, Li Chongyuan and his four elder brothers treat her very well.

After all, the Li family only had such a daughter, and she was like a treasure in their hearts.

In this era, women may not be very popular.

But in the Li family, from top to bottom, there was no one who didn't care about Li Wan'er, even Li Gui, who had passed away, hurried back to the capital from Yizhou when she learned that her wife had given birth to a daughter.

From this point of view, we can see how much the Li family value Li Wan'er as a daughter.

As soon as Li Chongyuan heard the shout, he began to tremble a little.

Originally, the old lady came to his house today. At first, he thought that his little sister might have gone out to play, but he never expected that she would come in the end.

"Wan'er is here, come here quickly." Seeing Li Wan'er running towards the hall door like a gust of wind, Li Chongyuan got up quickly.

"Wan'er, where did you go crazy again?" The old lady stared at Li Wan'er with a sullen face, pretending to be angry.

"Mother, didn't I go to buy gifts for my fourth brother, so I came here a bit late." Wan'er hurried to the old lady, hugged her and acted coquettishly.

"You, you, you are so old, you are still so crazy, how should you marry when you grow up?" The old man seemed to be a little reproachful, but his face was relaxed.

"I'm not going to marry. I'll stay with my mother for the rest of my life. Mother, tell me, okay?" Wan'er continued coquettishly.

"You girl, how can you stay with me all the time? You have to get married." The old lady said helplessly.

"Huh? It smells so good." Wan'er just finished acting coquettishly, but her nose smelled the aroma of vegetables, and she hurriedly looked at the table.

"Fourth brother, is this a dish made by the cook in your house? Why is it so delicious? Tsk tsk, this is so delicious." Li Wan'er was already hungry, and picked up a pair of freshly used chopsticks from the table , and ate it directly.

"Wan'er, you..." Seeing that her daughter didn't look like a daughter at all, the old lady picked up the chopsticks she had just used and ate the leftovers on the table. She wanted to blame her, but she didn't know how to say it.

There is nothing wrong with my daughter eating leftover dishes with her own chopsticks.

But if this matter was left to other Xungui's family, they would have been scolded long ago, so why would Li Wan'er act like this.
