Lian Liu felt that there was something tricky about this matter. His family had generations of military generals and had trouble getting along with the civil servants. Since he was a child, he was taught by the elders in the family to be careful when dealing with the civil servants. So he looked at the stewed meat in front of him. I dare not move chopsticks.
If everyone eats steamed buns but he eats meat, is this a comparison, is it because he wants to splash him with dirty water, saying that he disrespects the prince
Just when he was wondering, the prince glared down from upstairs.
He had just showered, and his hair was simply tied. He walked towards the dining table with joy and excitement, and even a hint of playfulness.
The prince looked at the sauce jar and smiled even more.
He sat down on the main seat and lifted his robe: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, let's have dinner, it's all brothers, don't be cautious." After speaking, he caught sight of Lian Liu sitting at the table.
Although the prince was hungry and couldn't wait to eat, he still remembered his demeanor as a prince and nodded to Lian Liu: "General Lian."
Even six salutes: "His Royal Highness."
Usually at this time, everyone has to greet each other, for example, to explain the day's itinerary, a courtesy, etc., but the prince did not play cards according to common sense, and said hello after a perfunctory: "Okay, everyone move chopsticks and chopsticks. ."
He looked at the sauce jar and figured out the way back.
If you don't have to hurry, you have to eat three meals a day on time. Add a late-night snack, isn't it too much
Remembering the lesson of losing the sauce bottle this time, he said, "Let's follow the rules and don't waste it."
Even six pointed ears, splurge? Splurge on gold and silver jewelry? I felt like I heard something amazing.
Putting the sauce jar in front of him, the prince smiled slightly: "It's up to me to share."
He picked up a clean spoon, scooped out a spoonful and sprinkled it into the stew, and stirred it with public chopsticks, and the pale, plain-white stew instantly turned brown-red.
People are always greedy, and the prince sighed: "It's a pity that the gravy can only be tasted, not delicious."
Xie Xun took out the letter and read the cooking guide given by Jiang Shuyao: "My wife said that it can be used to fry rice, it is very easy, and it can also be used to mix noodles, and it tastes good. If you want to stir-fry vegetables and meat, add a spoonful of flavor It will also get better, but it's a pity that the cooks in the inn don't know how to cook."
The prince was interested, and asked the cook to order a large bowl of plain noodles, mix them with mushroom minced meat sauce, and wrap the white and firm noodles with fried mushroom minced meat, which was tender and chewy. With a few crushed peanuts, the taste is rich.
So everyone divided the noodles and the sauce. After eating the noodles, eating the steamed buns, and finally drinking the salty and spicy soup with the smell of meat and mushroom minced meat sauce, I was very satisfied. .
Even Liu Ben had doubts in their hearts. Seeing how delicious they were eating big white steamed buns and plain noodles, they couldn't help but suspect that there was a conspiracy in this matter.
Isn't it just a spoonful of sauce? As for
Although his family doesn't pay attention to food, he has also hired a cook who can cook vegetables. After frying with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, it's just like that, and there is no authentic stew.
He ate slowly and in small bites, and when the group of people in the East Palace had eaten and drank their stomachs and went upstairs to rest, he dared to drag the stew bowl to him.
Fragrant, the stew is really fragrant.
He chewed the stewed meat in threes and fives, and his eyes involuntarily fell into the remaining bowl of stewed meat.
There is a bottom left in the stewed meat bowl, the soup is thick, red oil floats on it, there are several pieces of meat lying on the bottom of the bowl, the stewed meat is soft and rotten, it seems that the fat has turned into water and melted into the sticky soup. .
He no longer hesitated, dragged over and took a bite.
He imagined that the stewed meat with sauce should have added a bit of salty taste, but when he entered the mouth, he realized that it was not the case. The first taste that bloomed on the tip of the tongue was spicy, not the spicyness of garlic, but a pleasant Spicy, the spicy is fresh, the fresh is numb, and it is not irritating. After swallowing, there is only an endless aftertaste of umami and meat in the mouth.
This is really strange, he silently picked up the big white steamed bun that he swore not to eat, wrapped it around the bottom of the bowl, and ate it happily.
The next day, the group officially hit the road.
Lian Liu escorted the prince, just like the marching army, had already planned the route, and planned when to stop and when to go. This would save energy and time-consuming compared to hurriedly rushing when they came.
A group of people stopped and walked, and before they got out, they encountered a trouble.
In fact, it is a small matter, it is nothing more than the daughter of an official who went to Beijing who wants to go with them.
She stopped Lian Liu and explained her intentions. It wasn't a march anyway, and even Liu felt that it was normal for him to help.
But the prince had an opinion first. They didn't come here to eat, drink, play, and travel. Everyone rushed to Beijing. Can this delicate eldest lady bear it
Naturally, the answer there is "tolerable".
In this case, everyone has no opinion.
But who knew that this young lady didn't stay in the carriage properly, she would come out every day for a lap, especially when she was resting at the inn, she would always come over to salute and thank her, and her eyes would always look at Xie Xun.
It was also sad to say that she was not looking at the most powerful prince, not the richest Guan Ying, but the most handsome Xie Xun.
By the way, when Jiang Da wanted to marry Xie Xun when he was going to die or live, wasn't he just admiring his elegant demeanor
Everyone dipped in the sauce and wept silently.
Xie Xun was the most sensitive in this group of people, and was very disgusted by the woman's small actions. However, everyone in the East Palace felt that Xie Xun's reaction was too great. Just ignore it.
But Xie Xun had a hard time turning a blind eye. When he lay down at night and took out Jiang Shuyao's letter to reminisce, there was a knock on the door; when everyone was resting on the road, he took out Jiang Shuyao's letter to reminisce, and she came to talk again; When he was resting, he leaned on the carriage, watching Mingyue miss his daughter-in-law, she came over to meet again...
Xie Xun was very annoyed and showed her a cold face, but she was not discouraged.
Xie Xun finally said something serious to her: "Miss, please respect yourself, I already have a wife at home."
As soon as she said this, the young lady immediately burst into tears. Except for the maid she brought, the team was full of men. When they heard the women cry, none of them dared to make a sound, and kept looking at Xie Xun.
There were even those soldiers who were pity and cherish jade and whispered to Xie Xun in private, saying that he was serious or that there were shrews in the family.
After traveling for two days, Lian Liu and Xie Xun talked a few times, and they didn't know each other well, but he couldn't control his mouth.
Xie Xun sneered. He watched everyone in the East Palace avoid the young lady like snakes and scorpions, and when no one dared to step forward to help him resist, he finally decided to come up with a killer.
It was night, Xie Xun opened the wooden box and took out the bacon.
The bright moonlight illuminated his clear eyebrows, and he evoked an inevitable smile, and his already cold facial features became colder.
If you want to solve the evil wolf, you have to release a group of evil wolves.
At noon the next day, a group of people rested on the official road for lunch. Like the previous days, everyone boiled water in a crock pot and dipped it in the sauce.
Seeing that the young lady was about to come over to chat again, Xie Xun started.
According to Jiang Shuyao's letter, he threw the bacon that had been cut long ago into the crock pot. The bottom of the crock pot was hot, and after a while, he heard the sound of splattering grease.
The outer layer of the bacon is purple-black and dry, and the inside is indeed deep red and soft, with the unique charcoal aroma of smoked food.
Xie Xun fiddled twice in the crock pot with chopsticks and turned the bacon over. At this time, the aroma became more intense, and the white and tender fat part was gradually transformed into a transparent color when heated, shiny and oily, like a layer of soft and translucent smoothness. Jade, sizzling out with salty oily water.
Jiang Shuyao said in her letter that she handled the bacon meticulously, whether it is dry fried, fried with green onions, fried with bamboo shoots, green vegetables, or even boiled directly in water.
The people in the East Palace, who were far away from Xie Xun because they were afraid of crying women, remembered what "loyalty" is. The rich and rich flavor of salty and fresh meat suddenly reminded them of the equally delicious snack street, and then they thought of Jiang Shuyao. Brothers share blessings and share difficulties, but Xie Xun is different. Is he a simple brother? He is Jiang Shuyao's husband!
Yingying Yanyan rushed in front of Xie Xun. They were still following his habit before getting married, hiding as far as possible to prevent Chiyu from being harmed, but now they are sober. Xie Xun is married, and his wife is Jiang Shuyao. Yingying Yanyan rushed up to them but they avoided it. Is this worthy of Jiang Shuyao? Righteousness
So they walked to Xie Xun in a mighty way and sincerely admitted their mistake.
Xie Xun had a sneer on his face, "Don't be sorry, what's wrong with you? After all, I have also implicated you in the past. I got into the trap set by others and almost married the designer."
Everyone's faces were embarrassed.
Xie Xun took the clay pot away from the fire, put it on the mud floor, then picked up the steamed bun, and put a few pieces of bacon in it.
After the bacon is fried, it shrinks slightly, and the fat part appears much thinner, while the tender but not woody lean part is coated with shiny oil and water, and the water vapor in the corners is fried away, with a slight burnt crunch.
Under the gaze of a group of people, Xie Xun put the homemade bacon sandwich into his mouth.
From the first bite of chewing, a salty and umami taste quickly filled the mouth. The bacon after being marinated, smoked and roasted is completely free of the greasy fatness, the oil and water become fragrant and mellow, the salty taste is diluted by the bun, leaving only the complex umami.
There are complex medicinal aromas of pepper, cinnamon, cloves, amomum and other aniseed ingredients, as well as the sauce aroma of sweet noodle sauce, black noodle sauce and other sauces, as well as the fruity aroma of fruit trees during smoking, starting with charcoal grilling and ending with endless freshness , The fatigue of many days is dissipated in this fat but not greasy, oily and salty bacon.
Even though the crock pot has been removed from the fire, the strong and domineering salty and fresh oil and gas still lingered in the sky nearby, and the soldiers who were resting on the spot kept breathing in.
"It's delicious."
"How can meat be so fragrant? It's not like pure meat."
"It's because we don't know each other, the boss must have eaten this kind of meat."
Lian Liu was nibbling on his own dried buns, and the more he nibbled, the more bored he became. Hearing their discussion, he felt that his mouth was tasteless, so he moved a little further away, away from the tempting aroma.
But the wind blew the fragrance away everywhere, and there was no way to avoid it. Even the young lady who was dressing up in the carriage lifted the curtain and sniffed where the fragrance came from.
Lian Liu looked at the dried buns in his hand, sighed, and silently ended today's lunch.
Xie Xun showed no mercy, eating only two or three slices of bacon in the crock pot. Someone brought a tea cup, he took a sip, and his whole body stretched.
He took out the letter paper, pointed to a line of words and read: "If you take a break in the middle of the journey, and there are wild vegetables on the roadside, you can also choose to fry them with bacon."
It was great that Xie Xun could ignore the previous suspicions. A group of people hurriedly went into the woods to find wild vegetables, washed them with spring water and returned. Under the command of Xie Xun, they put the wild vegetables into the earthenware pot.
The wild vegetables are tender and fresh, and stick to the clear and sweet spring water. When they are put into the earthenware pot, the fragrant water vapor is suddenly forced out. The fat of the bacon was fried, leaving a thick layer on the bottom of the crock pot. After the oil was hot, it collided with the wild vegetables and suddenly made a crackling sound.
The wild vegetables were fried softly, and the overflowing juice mixed with the oily water of the bacon, exuding a very attractive aroma. After the wild vegetables are cooked, take down the crock pot. It can be seen that there is a layer of translucent oil and water inside. The soup of the wild vegetables is mixed with the oil of the bacon itself, which perfectly combines the fragrance and sweetness with the salty and mellowness.
Pick out a wild vegetable, the green vegetable is wrapped in a translucent and oily color, put it in your mouth, it is crisp and refreshing, and the fragrance is overflowing. The taste of bacon is so domineering, it penetrates its rich smoke and salty taste into the wild vegetables, making the wild vegetables delicious and attractive without any condiments.
After everyone rushed to grab the wild vegetables, there was still soup at the bottom of the crock pot.
They looked at each other, and someone broke the dried buns and put them in for a soak. There are too many wild vegetables, and the excess oil has already been absorbed into the wild vegetables, and the soup left behind is more of the fresh vegetable juice of the wild vegetables. The bacon is also boiled and softened in this soup. The juicy water becomes soft and swell, with the mellow and fresh fragrance of bacon, the sweetness and refreshingness of wild vegetables, and the faint fragrance of dried buns after soaking and warming.
Before everyone could taste it, they devoured the buns and swallowed them. When they didn't chew, they realized that they didn't chew and enjoy the delicious food.
I can only smack my mouth, reminiscing about the taste just now.
At this moment, Miss Jiaodidi, whom they avoided like snakes and scorpions, came over. She blinked her big watery eyes and asked in a coquettish voice, "Well, my lords, what do you eat..." She was extremely confident and felt that They will definitely be pity and cherish jade.
Before he could finish speaking, he felt that the group of handsome young men turned their heads and looked at her like a wolf cub protecting food, as if she was not a woman, but an evil wolf who wanted to fight with them for food.
She was stunned, and was so frightened that she stepped back a few steps. She didn't understand the situation for a while, and returned to her carriage in a daze.
