The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 57
Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" once wrote that the single chicken of the Yu clan is the most powerful, and all dishes depend on it.Just like a good person accumulates yin and virtue, but people don't know it.Therefore, he ordered to lead the head of the feather clan and attach him with other birds.So I made "Yuzu Shan".It can be seen that he recommends the delicacy of the chicken. Apart from other things, Ah Fu has been coveting the beggar chicken for a long time.

She described the method in detail with words and gestures, and the guards acted without hesitation. They cut open the belly of the pheasant with a dagger, washed and peeled off the internal organs without plucking the hair, and wrapped the outside of the chicken with water and a ball of mud. , I was planning to eat in the woods, and I was not in a hurry to fight. The guards also had leisure time, and they also carried some seasonings on their bodies, so they put some salt and pepper, spiced, soy sauce, white vinegar and other things on the chicken belly. Inside, I found some dead branches and leaves, picked up loose soil, and dug a hole about a foot large and a foot deep.First put the yellow muddy hen in the hole, fill the hole with dead branches and leaves, take the fire and light it, add more firewood leaves one after another, and roast it.Ah Fu was holding the kettle, and he and Xiao Huomiao were talking one after the other, but their eyes were all on the big mud ball in the fire.

After roasting for a while, the yellow mud was burnt to the core. The guards pulled the mud ball out from the fire, and saw a long round yellow mud ball with a very smooth outside. Ah Fu went up and smelled it, and found nothing wrong The fragrance came out, Wei Yi dragged Ah Fu, and looked at the big mud dumpling with sadness and disgust in his eyes. According to the current statement, it should be said that he felt very tired. If Xiao Huomiao could post a post, he would probably be my little My partner has a strange taste, how can I break it?
My childhood sweetheart wants to eat mud, please find a way to persuade me, please wait online!

What can save you, my pica lover?
Different tastes, how to fall in love?

Oh, I'm sorry, it's too far away, let's continue to eat, oh, don't look at the delicious food.

The wet mud was completely dry, Ah Fu took out his small waist knife, and slapped the mud ball with the back of the knife a few times, the mud loosened, and then he peeled off the dry mud calmly, chicken feathers fell with the mud, and there was a burst of noise immediately. A burst of aroma wafted through the nostrils, and everyone couldn't help but swallowed their saliva. When they looked carefully, a brown-yellow chicken was crouching inside with its neck curled up. Holding back his saliva, he casually picked up a chopstick, and the chicken fell from the bone. The meat was white, tender and delicious, and there was some soup on it, shining an attractive oily sheen. It melted in the mouth with a little chewing.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing again, Ah Fu didn't forget her little friend, she forgot to change the chopsticks, and directly used her own chopsticks to pick up a piece and fed it to Xiao Huomiao, "Taste it quickly, it's delicious."

Little Huomiao blushed, as if afraid of her repentance, he took a bite of the chicken.

The discerning guard offered His Highness the Prince's chopsticks, and Ah Fu signaled him to eat with them.

And he laughed at him, "What are you in a hurry for? What else? Is it delicious?"

The little flame seems to be hot, and the blush on his face has not faded. He lowered his head and chewed carefully, saying, "It's delicious, the one just now is the best."

Ah Fu raised his head triumphantly, completely ignoring the fact that he was only talking about it the whole time, and said proudly, "The chef of this county is unparalleled."

A Fu and Xiao Huo Miao ate one chicken, and distributed the other to the accompanying guards. The guards also brought birds and rabbits to roast for additional vegetables. Some people ran into the stream and fished them. It's a pity. The fish is not marinated, and it smells fishy when grilled. It is not as popular as other dishes. Of course, the most popular one is beggar's chicken.

With enough food and drink, the guards also relaxed a bit. Most of the guards who can become royal guards are the children of well-known and respectable families in the capital. Among them, there is a surnamed Wei, who is still a relative of Ah Fu. His mother is Gu Lao. The Duke's niece, Ah Fu can also be called cousin.

He had a small round face, and he seemed to have a good temper. He was pushed out after what his colleagues said, and he saluted in front of Ah Fu, and said with a smile, "Greetings to the two masters, the chicken dish just now It's really delicious, so I want to ask for a name, but you have a name for the dish you came up with? I just heard from you that there are other ways, so I can tell you a thing or two."

Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Da Zhou didn’t eat this way yet, she waved her hand, “This is not what I thought, I saw it from an unknown travel book, saying that it was a ranger or a beggar in the wilderness Ling got a chicken, was hungry, and had no cooking utensils at hand, so he thought of this method, and later named it Huaji."

Little Huomiao handed her a baked pancake, Ah Fu took it and took a bite, before continuing to say, "The other method is more delicate, the chicken needs to be marinated with soy sauce, cooking wine, refined salt for half an hour, cloves, star anise Grind the powder and rub the chicken body, chopped green onion, minced ginger, stir-fry star anise, add shrimp, diced pork, diced ham, stir-fry, add cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar, stir-fry to make stuffing, fill in chicken belly, and serve on bread The lotus leaf, and then grind the mud of the wine jar into powder, add water to mix, wrap the mud on the chicken about five minutes thick, put it in the oven and bake it for an hour."

Everyone who was listening drooled again, another guard poked the back of the round-faced guard anxiously, and the guard said in a low voice, "Say it yourself."

The guard gritted his teeth, leaned over and said, "My mother always loves to eat chicken. She was ill two days ago. Although she is well now, she doesn't like to eat. I heard the princess's recipe for food today. I want to go home and teach it to the chef." , became Feng and mother..." His eyes were sincere, and while he was talking, he lost his breath and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Ah Fu waved his hand casually, "It's no big deal, just do it if you want to eat it, you bring the paper, I'll read it, you memorize it."

The guard was pleasantly surprised, he thanked the princess several times, happily took a paper to write down, put it in his arms and left.

Ah Fu is a little puzzled, what is this, why are you so happy?Wei Yi explained to his little cousin who didn't care about it, "The great families and various prefectures have their own food lists, and the recipes of some dishes are even more special and secret, and I don't want to tell others."

Only then did Ah Fu know, and she nodded, "So that's the case, but it's okay. The recipe for this dish is simple, and the guard is also filial. You can see the lotus pattern inside."

Wei Yi struggled for a moment. He wanted to tell Ah Fu how to make dim sum, but he was afraid that he would lose his attractiveness, so Ah Fu came to the palace from exhaustion. He struggled for a while, but he still wanted to make Ah Fu happy, and said, "I'll ask when I go back." Supervisor Shangshan, I wrote a method for you."

Ah Fu was stretching out his hand, and Ping An wiped her hands with a cloth towel, Ah Fu shook his head casually, "No need, I can eat it when I enter the palace."

Wei Yi laughed.

Today, Ah Fu and Xiao Huomiao enjoyed a lot of food, and Wei Sheng and Gu Zhao also gained a lot.

The two learned to ride and shoot as children. When Gu Zhao was young, he was well-known in both civil and martial arts in Kyoto. Now the two of them are also very skilled. There are a lot of prey in the paddock, and the guards drive them together. Many foxes, after entering the camp, went to their wives to offer treasures. Gu Zhao was a little bit harder. He had to find out how many prey Meiniang had killed. In order to please his wife, he couldn't kill more than her.

"Ayao..." Wei Sheng lifted the curtain and came in excitedly. He originally wanted to show his wife his prey, but then remembered that the prey had blood on it, and was afraid it would turn on his wife, so he came in empty-handed.Of course, coming in empty-handed can't cover up the fact that His Majesty beat up more than a dozen silver foxes. He still wants to ask his wife for credit.

As soon as Wei Sheng came in, Wang Tian's heart was full of joy. When he called out his sister's baby name with deep joy, Wang Tian clenched her hands tightly. She was full of jealousy, as painful as if being bitten by countless bugs. .

The woman in the tent raised her face shyly, but she was not his wife. His Majesty pressed his hand on the knife at his waist calmly, and frowned displeasedly, "Who are you? Where is the queen?"

Wang Tian pursed his lips and held back his tears. It turned out that he didn't even know who he was.

She lowered her head and explained, "My daughter is the empress's sister-in-law. She came to talk to her. When Princess Hua'an came back, she went to pick her up. My daughter got a little bit of heat, so she didn't go out."

His Majesty just nodded, but his hand did not leave the waist knife. He came back excitedly, but he didn't meet his wife. He was very unhappy. After thinking about it, he decided to go outside to find his wife. Don't let Meiniang hold him back. Then he couldn't come back, he lifted his legs and walked towards the door.

Wang Tian couldn't bear it anymore, her ambition and jealousy made her extremely courageous, she looked down at her attire, and thought that she was younger and more beautiful than the queen, she suddenly hugged His Majesty from behind.

Wei Sheng is kind and funny in front of his family on weekdays, but he is still an emperor at heart, and he has all the vigilance and majesty he should have. As soon as Wang Tian rushed over, Wei Sheng hit her face with his waist knife backwards, After knocking the person away, Wang Tian fell to the ground directly, sobbing while covering his face.

Your Majesty still has enough strength, otherwise the girl would not be crying, she would probably have passed out directly, he was angry and depressed, A Yao won't misunderstand me, I don't even know this person. The palace is not completely settled yet, what if something happens and A Yao gets angry again.

"Shut up." He frowned, reprimanded Wang Tian, ​​and then called the personal eunuch, "get a soft sedan chair and throw her back." The wound on this woman's face must not be seen, otherwise it may not be passed on. What about.

Hearing his instructions, Wang Tian suddenly raised his head, "I love you, Your Majesty."

Whether to gag her or knock her out, His Majesty thought seriously.

"I love you more than the queen." Wang Tian continued.

His Majesty sneered, "I marry you to Uncle Duanyang's eldest son, Ji Ping."

"No, I don't want it." Wang Tian fell to the ground and trembled in fear.

Uncle Duanyang has an affectionate cousin who became a noble concubine, and Mrs. Uncle’s natal family is weak. Although Ji Ping is the eldest son, he is very unloved. Uncle Duanyang has wanted his second son to be the eldest son many times, and he is working hard now. Ji Ping himself It is said that he is not as good as that concubine brother. All in all, marrying Ji Ping is simply a dead end, because only when the eldest son is gone, can the concubine be recognized as the concubine's mother and inherit the uncle's mansion properly.

His Majesty smiled at her disdainfully, and waved his hand to signal the eunuch to get her out.

The tent was finally quiet. His Majesty was sitting by the couch, holding the cup that the queen used to, with a smile on his face. He was in a similar situation to Uncle Duanyang's eldest son. His father doted on his wife and killed his wife. Forced to hide his clumsiness, how many people think that he is the prince who will be abolished sooner or later. Only A Yao, because she likes her, has the courage to lose face and ask the emperor's grandmother to marry me and support me. , There is sweetness in my heart.
