I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 18
"Green and tall locust leaves, picked and paid to the Chinese chef. New noodles come to the market, juice...juice..."

Yu Yuan held a round fan in his hand, and the fan lightly tapped on his little head, what to do... I can't recite it again...

"Juice and dregs are all in one piece." A faint female voice floated by.

Yu Yuan immediately continued: "I'm too familiar with the capital, and I don't want to have extra meals..." After finally reciting the whole song with bumps, the little guy patted his chest and let out a big breath.

Looking at Yu Jian who was picking locust leaves and flowers, he threw the fan and ran over to hug her leg again, and asked a little bit aggrieved, "Sister... am I stupid?"

My sister has been teaching him for several days, but I just can't recite it completely and fluently.

"Of course not, Yuanyuan is already very powerful!" Yu Jian held the basket in her arms, and squatted down to look at Yu Yuan.

Her praise is completely true. The little guy will only enter elementary school next year, so it is not easy to memorize such complicated lines in a short period of time.

Sure enough, Yu Yuan, who was comforted by her sister, was full of confidence again, and thoughtfully took the basket from her and carried it in her hand, to relieve Yu Jian's worries and problems.

This is Yu Jian's fifth day in the capital.Last night, there was a drizzle of rain, which barely dissipated some of the heat.

When Yu Jian opened the door in the morning, she felt a bit of coolness for a long time, and saw the pagoda tree leaves with water droplets hanging on them, so she called Yu's father to move a small ladder out.

She is going to make a locust leaves cold wash.

The food in the Tang Dynasty was fresh and exquisite, and it was favored by literati. Not only did they love it, but they had to record it for future generations.

When Yu Jian looked at these everyone's words, sometimes she couldn't help laughing: You are a foodie!
What Yu Yuan just recited was Du Fu's "Leng Tao Leaf".

After being washed by the rain, the locust tree leaves were brightly green. Yu Jian picked out the youngest buds and leaves, and then picked out the flower buds that were about to bloom, and filled half a basket.

Obtaining her orders, Yu Yuan poured all the leaves and flowers from the basket into the sink, and started rubbing them with her little hands.

Don't think that he is innocent, he can remember what he said!Being able to help my sister wash vegetables is the first step in learning how to cook!

The little guy was on his toes, complacent.

Yu Jian looked at him from behind, it was indescribably funny, this was not washing vegetable leaves, it was clearly playing with water, splashed a lot of water stains all over his body.

"Go find Dad to bathe and change your clothes, and when Mom comes back and sees you, it's time to scold you!" After driving the little guy away, Yu Jian took over his job, scrubbing the locust tree leaves clean one by one.

I took another basin of clean water and soaked the Sophora japonica in it.

Squeeze out the water from the locust leaves and pour them into the porcelain vat. Yu Jian picked up the grinding rod and crushed the locust leaves bit by bit, then scooped the locust leaves into clean gauze, and slowly squeezed out the locust leaf juice .

The fresh locust tree leaf juice exuded a fresh herbal aroma and was dark green in color. Yu Jian poured it into a large glass bowl, which was surprisingly beautiful.

She picked it up, shook it and admired it for a while, then took out another basin, mixed the flour according to the ratio, added the juice of locust leaves and kneaded it into a dough.

Then roll the dough into a dough, fold it in half several times, lift the knife and drop it with your hand, and it becomes a strip of half-inch wide noodles. Sprinkle a handful of dry flour and shake the sticky noodles.

Sophora japonica noodles are not only bright green in color, but also have a fragrance of sophora leaf.Yu Jian picked up a piece of wide noodles and smelled it, then nodded with satisfaction.

The essence of Huaiye Lengtao lies in the mixed vegetables in the noodles.Yu Jian made two kinds, one meat and one vegetarian. For meat, she used the beef tendon and beef that she brought from Rao Township that had been marinated for a long time, added coriander, rice pepper and minced garlic, and poured a spoonful of hot oil to taste.

This vegetarian one is more elegant, cut the lotus root and bamboo shoots into cubes, add more minced garlic and dried tofu, put lard in the pot, first put the onion and ginger to saute, then pick out the fried ginger slices, add the lotus root And diced bamboo shoots, stir-fry until the fragrance comes out, then add minced garlic and dried tofu and stir-fry again.

The aroma of lard and bamboo shoots blend together, which is very attractive, not inferior to meat dishes.

Put the stir-fried ingredients on a plate, and Yu Jian cooked the noodles, picked them up, and put them in water with ice cubes to cool them down.At this time, the Sophora japonica flowers in the cage are also steamed, and the whole room is filled with the fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers.

Yu Yuan sucked his little nose, ran out of the room, and shouted happily: "It smells so good! It smells so good!"

Father Yu took the towel and followed him, chasing and cursing: "Wipe your head...the air conditioner will turn on and you'll catch a cold..."

Just as he was speaking, a ray of fragrance poured into his nose, he stopped to savor it carefully, and swallowed unconsciously.

My daughter must be making delicious food again!
……

"Ah Jian, can you go alone?" Yu's father was still a little worried, so he asked Yu Jian to wait at the door, and wanted to go back to the house to get the car keys.

Yu Jian was helpless: "Dad, when you leave the alley, turn left and cross the road. Where did you park your car?"

Mama Yu called, she was busy today and didn't have time to go home for dinner.Yu Jian discussed with her and would send her lunch later.

Mother Yu was so moved, she still felt sorry for her daughter, and she couldn't accompany her well when she came to the capital.

Although the capital is large, it always favors those who work hard.The Yu family made their fortunes in the early years, relying on hard work without a diploma, and studying more without education. Now one works as a second chef in a time-honored brand, and the other works as an accountant in a financial company.

Mother Yu's company is close to her home, so she can take care of her children at any time.Yu Jian carried her lunch box and walked out of the courtyard gate, walking unhurriedly.

A black car was parked not far from the door, and the car logo looked like a luxury brand that was always broadcast in TV commercials.Yu Jian looked more curiously, and inadvertently made eye contact with the man in the driver's seat.

The man had a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, his face was a bit blurred by the smoke, Yu Jian could only vaguely see a spot of scarlet light, and then he avoided his sight.

I was impressed by those dark eyes.How should I put it... I always feel a sense of shrewdness that I can't control.

Mother Yu was waiting downstairs in the company, and when she saw her daughter, she quickly waved.After picking up the lunch box, he took out a tissue and wiped the sweat rolling off his daughter's face, and said angrily, "I told you not to come, it's so hot at noon."

Yu Jian smiled shyly: "If you sweat a lot, you should lose weight."

It made Yu's mother laugh and scold: "Look at how little flesh you have on your body, and you're still losing weight! You should really let the two males in the family listen."

However, her daughter's thoughtfulness and filial piety still make her very satisfied.

Mama Yu unzipped the zipper of the lunch box and smelled a fresh aroma. She curiously took out the glass bowl, which contained green noodles in a neat ball. When she opened the lid, she felt refreshed before eating. .

There are also two small boxes in the bag, which look like side dishes for noodles.

Mother Yu didn't care about anything else, poured all the ingredients in the small box into the noodles, stirred them evenly, and swallowed the noodles in one bite, feeling refreshed.

The noodles were smooth and chewy, combined with the slightly spicy crunchiness of the side dishes, Mama Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and she ate a few more mouthfuls with the bowl in her hand.

The colleague on the side had been working with her for almost five years, and it was the first time she saw her cheeks puff up from eating, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you eating?"

She was so hungry that her saliva was about to flow down...

　"Leng Tao of Huai Ye" is a poem by Du Fu.

　　Several major literati in the Tang Dynasty loved to eat, could and would eat,

　　While eating, it also left many food records for future generations.

　　There are many replicas of this dish,
　　But it really has a different flavor if it is made exactly according to what is said in the poem~
　　If you don't mind the trouble, you can really try it~
