The sweet and salty battle is one of several famous battles on the Internet. When it comes to eating, foodies will never give in. The sweet and salty party has been torn apart for several years and has not been able to compete.

Salted bean curd brain, sprinkled with chopped green onion and mustard, drizzled with sauce and chili oil, and served with a steaming fried dough stick that is crispy and fluffy, is enough to make people happy enough to create the illusion of "today is also a day full of vitality".

The sweet bean curd brain is more likely to attract the sweet-loving crowd. The soft and hot tofu brain is topped with sugar juice, which melts in the mouth and has a fresh bean flavor. It can be called a staple food and a dessert.

At this time, brown sugar has appeared, made of sugar cane, the raw material is natural, and the taste is mellow and sweet. "Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded that brown sugar "coagulates like stone, loose like sand. Sugar is warm, and spleen and liver", has medicinal value.

Jiang Shuyao did both, just to see which one suits the old lady's taste.

The old lady was eating an unremarkable breakfast. Although she had never seen the two bowls of tofu nao, she always felt that she was very uncomfortable eating a meal.

Mrs. Xu stood by and served the old lady's meal. Naturally, she didn't have to worry about someone finding her peeking at the beancurd that night. The white, tender and trembling beancurd was drizzled with brown sugar. It looked smoother than tofu, and I wondered how it tasted.

Xu Shi was about to swallow just thinking about the taste of sugar juice and hot bean curd that was tenderer than tofu.

As a filial daughter-in-law who has served her mother-in-law for many years, she naturally sees the old lady's discomfort, but she will not talk much, let alone help Jiang Shuyao to please the old lady.

She glanced at the sweet tofu's head, thinking that it wouldn't be delicious if it was cold.

The two were thinking about each other, and suddenly a person rushed out of the house in a hurry.

"Mother!" Before Xie Peiren arrived, the voice came first.

When she rushed in, she found that the old lady was still eating breakfast, she greeted her with a perfunctory greeting, and leaned over with a smile.

The old lady pampered her, and she said helplessly, "Why did you get up so early today?"

"Mother, have you forgotten, today I'm going out to play polo with He Wanyao and the others."

"You, you." The old lady poked her forehead, "I have never seen you not snooze on weekdays."

Xie Pei shrank his head to hide: "I just came to tell you, I'll go out immediately."

"What's the hurry, have you had breakfast?" The old lady saw that Xie Pei had just woken up, and estimated that she was going to use some cakes to cushion her stomach on the road.

"No..." Xie Pei replied reluctantly, her mother knew she wouldn't let him go without breakfast.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, the old lady ordered the meal.

Xie Pei was in a hurry, how could he have the time to wait for the maids to go back and forth to the big kitchen to set meals, when he saw the two bowls of bean curd on the table, he said, "I'll just eat this, what is this? I haven't seen it before. ."

Xu Shi and the old lady were stunned, and no one answered.

Seeing this, Xie Pei hesitated and said, "Is this not edible?"

The old lady looked embarrassed and said, "Not really."

"That's it." Xie Pei didn't pay much attention to food, anyway, he had to drink a bowl of porridge, and this was also a bowl, it was the same.

She took the salty tofu brain in front of her at any time, and smelled novel and said, "Is this stewed tofu?"

The old lady hesitated: "Almost."

Xie Pei scooped a spoonful of bean curd brain into his mouth, the tip of his tongue was scalded, he subconsciously opened his mouth to breathe, remembered his manners, and quickly closed it.

The hot tofu brain is extremely tender, and before it can be chewed, it slides down the throat and burns all the way to the stomach.

Xie Pei was stunned, and there was still a salty aftertaste of the sauce in her mouth, but she felt that she had eaten nothing.

When he looked up, he was extremely puzzled to see the old lady and Mrs Xu looking at her again. What happened to them today, weird.

She doesn't like to use her brain for one thing, and she asks anything if she has anything: "This... Isn't this how you eat?"

Xu Shi shook his head and asked abruptly, "How does it taste?"

Xie Pei didn't care, scooped another spoonful, and blew it a few times before putting it in his mouth.

This time I finally tasted the taste. It was hot, tender, and slippery. This was her first feeling. It turns out that tofu can also be made so tender, like water, that it melts in the mouth and can be swallowed without chewing.

The simple sauce flavor will not cover up the original refreshing bean flavor, it is delicious and not too salty and greasy for early morning consumption.

"Delicious." She nodded, mixed with bean curd, and after eating it, her stomach was hot, and her whole body felt comfortable. I didn't feel hungry just now, but now I have an appetizing meal.

After eating, she wiped her mouth: "Which cook in the big kitchen made this, it's a reward."

The old lady choked.

Knowing the sister-in-law's temper, Mrs. Xu naturally didn't want to make her unhappy by answering.

So both of them were silent.

Seeing that it was not good to stay silent like this, the mammy standing next to her stood up and replied, "The third lady did what the fourth lady said."

Three ladies

Xie Pei was stunned, who

She blinked, reacted after a few breaths, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "Did Jiang Shuyao do it?!"

She was busy cutting clothes, giving jewelry, writing letters to the handkerchief friend, etc... She almost forgot about this person.

The old lady didn't reprimand her for being unruly, but she called her sister-in-law by her name, but explained, "This is indeed the breakfast that your sister-in-law sent." She didn't quite believe that Jiang Shuyao made it herself.

"There is nothing to be courteous, and it is not a traitor or a thief. What is she doing with breakfast? Is there no cook in the big kitchen, or is it that the mother rarely eats her bowl, isn't it just tofu?" Xie Pei gave birth to a sense of shame , I actually ate the breakfast sent by Jiang Shuyao, and praised it as delicious. Now I have eaten it all, and I can't spit it out. It's a shame.

There was an empty small porcelain bowl in front of her, and she couldn't say a few more unpleasant words. She opened and closed her lips, stood up suddenly, and said in a muffled voice, "I'll go first, mother, eat slowly."

She ran away blushing, leaving Xu Shi and the old lady embarrassed.

The meal was really unpleasant, and the old lady lost her appetite and waved people to remove the dishes.

There is no need for Mr. Xu to stay here, so he saluted and retired.

After leaving the Shouning Hall, Mrs. Xu frowned slightly as she looked at the back of the maid who was withdrawing from the dishes. The food that the old lady used will naturally go into the bucket, but the bowl of bean curd is estimated to be cheaper for the maid in the big kitchen.

Xu Shi thought about the bowl of sweet tofu nao, and secretly thought it was a pity.

Xie Xun had lunch with his colleagues in the East Palace. He was distracted during a meal. He thought about the chicken wings last night when he ate chicken shreds, and the fried noodles last night when he ate rice.

The taste of these dishes is really bland, and the most delicate dishes cannot be eaten by them, so it is better to eat at home.

After Lin Cheng finished eating his portion, he looked up and saw that more than half of Xie Xun was left, and asked with concern, "Bo Yuan, do you have something on your mind?"

Xie Xun returned to his senses, shook his head, put down his chopsticks and said, "It's just that my appetite is not good."

Lin Cheng showed an understanding look on his face and patted his shoulder sympathetically.

Xie Xun is the leader of the young and middle-aged talents of his generation. The emperor personally favors Tanhualang, both civil and military, and the moon is refreshing. Lang Yan is unique and unparalleled in the world, and no young man in the capital does not regard him as a role model.

But such a gentleman married such a woman, really... Lin Cheng had met Jiang Shuyao before, this woman dressed strangely, behaved vulgarly, and there was nothing in her body that could match Xie Xun.

Thinking that Xie Xun has been married for more than a month, and he has to face such a wife every day, I am afraid that it will be suffering every day.

He suggested: "After today's assignment, we invite friends to go to Zuixiaolou for a few drinks, what do you think?"

Xie Xun raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Another day, I have something to do at home today, I want to go back early." Today Jiang Shi said that he would have dinner with him, cough... Since he has agreed, there is no reason to let others wait. .

Lin Cheng nodded, hesitated, and patted Xie Xun on the shoulder again.

Xie Xun was photographed inexplicably, watching Lin Cheng leave Yu Yu, withdrew his gaze and glanced at his shoulder, wondering what was going on.

After the assignment, Xie Xun said goodbye to his colleagues and rode home. When I arrived at the gate of Xie Guogong's mansion, I saw that it was still early.

After dismounting, he walked slowly to the backyard. Halfway through, he met his eldest nephew, Xie Ye.

"Third uncle, did you eat dinner so early to digest food?" Xie Ye was very surprised when he saw his handsome third uncle strolling around.

Xie Xun's already air-conditioned face became even colder. He glanced at Xie Ye, returned to his normal pace and floated away gracefully.

Xie Xun was angry.

Not angry with Xie Xun, but with himself.

What is he guilty of, what is he deliberately doing? What you do in your life is not upright, isn't it just coming back earlier than usual? As for dragging the hours, is it afraid that Jiang Shi thinks that he will finish her meal

When he arrived at Tingzhuyuan, Xie Xun had already thought about it, and his expression was natural and calm. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he smelled a strong fragrance.

Look, it's not too early to come back, dinner is already prepared.

The smell filled the whole yard, and the greedy little girl put down her work and ran to the kitchen to probe her head. When she saw Xie Xun coming from the yard door, she scattered in fright.

Xie Xun began to feel uncomfortable again. Now Jiang Shi should be in the small kitchen. Should he go directly to the east wing and wait or go to the small kitchen to see her

He stood in the middle of the yard thinking.

There was a strong fragrance in the courtyard, the little maids were jumping and running away, and a maid in the corridor was nowhere to be seen. As the sun sets in the west, the sunset glow is like a tulle, hazy and gorgeous, coating the eaves and treetops with a warm color.

Thinking of the quiet and orderly listening to the bamboo courtyard before, Xie Xun was a little dazed.

It turns out that the days after getting married are like this, the sunset, the rice soup, the fireworks in the world. ,,
