Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 146
Xu Xiaomi followed the woman in coarse palace attire into the room with a smoky roof.

This is like a big kitchen!Chicken, duck, fish, pork and vegetables are placed on the long and wide chopping board.Most of them were bought from her.

Three men wearing brown cotton gowns, aprons around their waists, and a black cloth wrapped around their hair.With his back facing the door, he was busy chopping vegetables and chopping bones!

In front of the chopping board is a row of stoves. Large and small stoves are equipped with large iron pots and casserole pots. The pots are boiling loudly.

The woman pointed to the man in the middle who was cutting the meat, and whispered, "Girl! He is Mr. Liang!"

At this moment, Xu Xiaomi couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart, ah!ha!Haha... The noble person who wants to find himself in love turns out to be a cook?

Xu Xiaomi laughed enough in her heart, and said softly, "Thank you, auntie!"

The woman smiled and said, "You're welcome! I'm going out!"

Xu Xiaomi watched the woman who led the way step out of the threshold, and then shouted loudly: "Master Liang! Who is Mr. Liang!"

The three chopping vegetables all turned around and looked at her suspiciously!
Xu Xiaomi asked again: "Which one of you is Mr. Liang?"

The person in the middle has a fair face, a little mustache, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is in his thirties.

He looked at Xu Xiaomi and asked, "Are you a new girl in the capital?"

Xu Xiaomi smiled modestly and replied: "It's the little girl! May I ask what is the purpose of finding the little girl, Mr. Liang?"

The man said with some embarrassment after hearing this: "Don't call me Mr. Liang, I'm just a cook. You can call me Uncle Liang from now on!"

Girl, I came to you mainly to ask you to teach me how to quarrel with these vegetables that come in from outside. "

When Xu Xiaomi heard this, a big stone fell from his heart, thinking that he had offended some great god by selling vegetables?So it was just teaching cooking?
Xu Xiaomi hurriedly asked with a broken smile, "Which one do you want to learn first?"

"Miss, what do you think?" Liang Zhong pointed to the potatoes, lotus root, and carrots on the chopping board.

Xu Xiaomi looked at the other dishes on the chopping board, and she knew what to expect, and asked, "Uncle, can you let me use the chopping board?"

Liang Zhong nodded, and Xu Xiaomi picked up the knife on the chopping board, picked a piece of pork belly and started dicing it.

After the meat was cut, I took a few more potatoes, peeled them, and cut them into cubes.She looked for it, but there was no onion or garlic, let alone pepper.

How to do this?Xu Xiaomi complained quietly to Xiaoxiang: "Oh! Why didn't you say that you are here to cook? Now there are no condiments, how do you make this dish?"

Xiaoxiang asked in a low voice: "Master! Why don't Xiaoxiang go to the store to get some?"

Xu Xiaomi listened, thought about it seriously, and asked, "Can you be invisible?"

Xiaoxiang flew to her ear and said, "Yes! I'm going!"

Xiaoxiang flew away after saying that!

Where Xu Xiaomi was busy, the three of them watched her attentively. Xu Xiaomi put the lotus root and pig's feet into the casserole to stew.

Throw a clean pig's head into the pot to cook, and prepare to make another cold pig's head.

When she was done, she picked up the carrots and shredded them for later use.Her movements were so fast that the three big men were dumbfounded.

At this time, Xu Xiaomi calculated that Xiaoxiang was coming soon, so she sent all three men out.

When Xiaoxiang brought the condiments, Xu Xiaomi first put the diced pork belly into the pot and stir-fried all the oil in the fat meat. When the meat was golden brown, put the chili, garlic and fennel Put them all in a frying pan.

Immediately, the spicy flavor of chili pepper, the aroma of garlic, and the smell of fennel were all fried out, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Everyone outside swallowed when they heard about it.The three big men guarding the door looked strangely at the closed kitchen.

The three of them have all stayed in the kitchen of this palace for more than ten years, and to be fair, no one has ever cooked so deliciously.The three of them felt ashamed when they smelled the fragrance.

But Xu Xiaomi was very busy inside. She burned potatoes and roasted pork in the pot, and was busy picking up the cooked pig's head meat to dry.

Continue to cut carrot shreds, and when the carrot shreds are cut, the pork head meat is ready to be taken.

She sliced ​​the pork head as thin as onion wings, put it in a big basin, added salt, onion, garlic, and chopped pepper, and added some soybean oil. After mixing it, she took a piece and tasted it in her mouth. tasted.

Um!This would be perfect with soy sauce and vinegar, peppercorns and sesame oil.The slightly spicy taste stimulates the taste buds, and everyone has an appetite.

Xu Xiaomi opened the door and let Liangzhong and the three of them go in to taste her cold pork head.

Liangzhong picked up a piece with chopsticks, put it on a plate and started to eat slowly. It was the first time he ate chili, and he was so hot that he went to find water to drink. After drinking, he continued to eat.

I feel like I have eaten the delicacy in the Lingxiao Palace of the Jade Emperor.The more you eat, the more spicy you eat, the more spicy you eat.In the end, they picked up shredded carrots and tasted it, which was really cool.

At this time, the lotus root stewed pig's trotters were ready, and each of them scooped up a small bowl of soup to drink, but none of them wanted to put the bowl.

Immediately afterwards, Potato Roast Pork was ready, Xu Xiaomi gave them three people, each of them filled two pieces of potatoes, and the three of them stared at the pot after eating.

Xu Xiaomi said: "Okay! Uncles, I have prepared the dishes, you can rest for a while!"

After Xu Xiaomi finished speaking, he was about to walk away, Liang Zhong hurriedly called Xu Xiaomi to stop.

"Hey! Girl, you can't just leave like this!"

Xu Xiaomi's stepping foot stopped there, turned to look at Liang Zhong, Liang Zhong saw that she had stopped, walked up to Xu Xiaomi with a smile and said softly: "Girl, please sell me the cooking recipe!"

Xu Xiaomi looked at him and said with a chuckle, "Uncle! Do you really want to buy it?"

Liangzhong said in a low voice with some shame: "Yes!"

Xu Xiaomi also asked softly: "Then how much money do you give for a dish?"

Liangzhong was a little embarrassed. He had been an imperial chef for so many years, and he was also the head chef. He also had some spare money in his pocket, but he didn't know how much to give. After all, this was his first time selling recipes.

For so many years, he has been making dishes handed down from his ancestors, and some of them are dishes he researched by himself.

Seeing his embarrassment, Xu Xiaomi couldn't ask any more questions.

"Uncle, why don't you do this! Ten taels of silver for a dish, I believe you can cook it well, and you will get more than that at once. What do you think?"

Xu Xiaomi thought of a compromise and told Liang Zhong.

After hearing this, Liangzhong nodded quickly and said, "Okay! That's the deal!"

Liang Zhong thought that Xu Xiaomi would deliver the recipe of this dish tomorrow, but unexpectedly, Xu Xiaomi said: "Uncle, go get a pen and paper!"

After hearing this, Liangzhong thought to himself: What does she need pen and paper for?Could she still write?Ordinarily impossible!How could a girl selling vegetables be literate?

"What do you need pen and paper for?" Liang Zhong asked.

Xu Xiaomi heard what was in his heart, looked at him in surprise, and thought: This person looks down on others?She couldn't control the arrogance in her heart all of a sudden.

Said: "Uncle, go and get a pen and paper! I'll write the recipe for you!"

At this moment, Liangzhong could no longer ignore what she wanted.

However, this ancient pen and paper is a precious thing, Liang Zhong searched all over the imperial dining room, and finally asked for two pieces of paper and borrowed a pen from the eunuch who bought it.

Xu Xiaomi took the brush and quickly wrote down her graceful handwriting on the paper.

She wrote down the recipes of the three dishes she made today for Liang Zhong.After finishing writing, hand it to Liangzhong.

Liang Zhong took it over and saw that the handwriting was no worse than those of those so-called talented women.Liang Zhong raised his head and looked at her in surprise.Xu Xiaomi just smiled at him.

Liang Zhong also went to a private school in his early years, and Xu Xiaomi learned ancient characters with his younger brother in recent years.Therefore, Liangzhong can still understand it.

After reading it silently, Liangzhong took out three ten tael bank notes from his pocket and handed them to her.Xu Xiaomi put away the banknote and left the palace quickly.

She has a sense of fear for that depressive place, and she hopes that she will never go to that place again in her life.

As soon as Xu Xiaomi left the imperial dining room, Chen Hezhe knew it.

In the imperial study room, Shadow knelt on the ground on one knee. Chen Hezhe looked at him seriously and asked, "Oh! Is it really her? Why did she come to the capital so quietly? You go and get rid of the three-year-old girl she made?" Here is a dish, I want to try it!"

Shadow nodded, got up and exited the royal study.

After a quarter of an hour, Shadow returned to the imperial study and put all the plates and bowls in his hand on the desk.

Chen Hezhe saw that the dishes in the tableware were red, green and green, and they were very beautiful.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up some shredded carrots, and chewed them in his mouth.The slightly sweet and spicy taste whetted his appetite.

Picking up the spoon in the sea bowl, he filled a bowl of rice by himself.One chopstick dish and one big mouthful of rice.After a while, I finished a bowl of rice and went to fill another bowl.

Seeing him eating so deliciously, Shadow couldn't help but swallowed his saliva inadvertently.

Chen Hezhe ate the cold pig's head, and then ate the roasted pork with potatoes, which he ate very vigorously.In the end, even the big bowl of lotus root soup was finished, and there were only two or three pieces of pig's trotters left in the bowl.

After Chen Hezhe finished eating, he wiped his mouth, rubbed his stomach, and took a nap!Said: "I didn't expect there to be such delicious food in the world. If I eat like this every day, I will become a big fat man in a few days! Hehe..."

Shadow just stood beside him silently and didn't answer.Chen Hezhe is also used to Shadow's indifference.

Xu Xiaomi returned to the store and immediately packed up her things.Little Bailong and Caiyi didn't know about it, so they asked about it.

"Master, what's the matter? There's still some food at home! Why don't you just leave?" Xiao Bailong asked.

"It's just that I'm leaving alone, and the business here is considered stable. You can keep the sale here. Brother Qiu is still waiting for me to deliver food and grass! It's been hard work for you two recently, try to keep the family's food as much as possible. The food is sold out."

Xu Xiaomi said while busy collecting clothes.

Caiyi watched her master leave in such a hurry, did something happen to her when she entered the palace this time?
