The imperial envoy didn't take it seriously, and said indifferently: "What delicious food can you buy with a penny? Word of mouth is a bit exaggerated."
The supervisor had eaten the stewed vegetables from Yu's family. Although he thought the taste was good, he would not foolishly refute the imperial envoy. He smiled obsequiously: "Your Excellency is right! And those ingredients are pig's head, pig's offal, pig's blood, etc., things that others don't eat. As an adult, you naturally don't bother to eat those!"
"You can't say that!" The imperial envoy touched the short beard on his chin, his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be caught in the memory of the past.
After a long time, he continued: "I think back then, I followed Master to fight against foreign enemies on the frontier. I was besieged by the enemy for more than ten days. Not to mention tree bark, tree bark and grass roots, I even ate the soil! I remember one time, I saw everyone really I couldn't bear it anymore, so I sneaked into the enemy's camp together with my junior and brother, and stole the pig's head that was used for sacrifice. We roasted it on the mountain and ate it. For the soldiers who had been hungry for several days, it was very important The small piece of pork head meat I got here is even more delicious than the delicacies I eat now... "
The supervisor hurriedly said: "General, you are wise and powerful, and you have survived such a difficult time. You must be blessed!"
The Imperial Envoy laughed heartily and said, "I don't care if I'm lucky or not! I'm very happy today, do you know why? I finally found my master and younger brother who had been separated for more than thirty years!"
"Congratulations sir, congratulations sir! This is really a great thing!!" The supervisor took the opportunity to flatter him again.
The imperial envoy looked at the low and simple buildings on both sides of the pier, and said, "Have you negotiated the compensation for the demolition of these sheds? The emperor said that the construction of a port is a major event that benefits the country and the people, but don't let it go." The people are complaining!"
"The emperor loves the people like a son, and the little admiration is endless..." the supervisor hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
The imperial envoy seemed to dislike this, and said, "Let's just say a few more words! Do more practical things! The road at the port will be at least twice as wide, and the sheds on both sides will have to be demolished! I've paid for the compensation. Bring it, you have a good talk with the common people..."
"Yes, yes! The little one will definitely do things to your satisfaction!" The supervisor nodded his head.
The imperial envoy waved his hand, walked forward, and said in his mouth: "It's not enough to satisfy me, but also to satisfy the common people! Of course, you can't tolerate the troublemaker who sits on the ground and raises prices! Li Li, you can assist me in this matter." …”
"The little one's surname is Liang!" The supervisor nodded and bowed, smiling authentically.
"Well! You assist Supervisor Liang to do it!" The imperial envoy walked slowly towards the seaside while inspecting the situation at the pier.
At the place where braised vegetables are sold, the crowds queuing are gradually thinning out. The imperial envoy led another subordinate, and unconsciously came to Old Liu's noodle stall.
When the old Liu Tou and his wife saw the official uniform on his body, they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.
"Old man, don't be afraid! I see that your business is doing well, and I want to buy a bowl of noodles..." Facing the silent old man, the imperial envoy tried his best to make his rough face easy-going. As a result, the opposite effect was produced, forcing out a smiling face, making it more ferocious.
"Huh? Aren't you... Aren't you Brother Han's uncle?!" Looking at the team with only four or five people left, Xiaocao was finally able to take a breather. Hearing a familiar voice, she turned her head to look. Huh! This 40-year-old man wearing a unicorn official uniform is surprisingly the house town he met in Fucheng. How did he get to the pier? Still wearing uniform
The imperial envoy looked calmly at the house, huh? Isn't this the youngest daughter of the brother-in-law? That little girl named Xiaocao. Look again, whoops! Could it be that his eyes were dazzled, two Yu Xiaocao actually appeared in front of his eyes...
"My lord, you are blind! They should be twins!" It turned out that Fang Zizhen subconsciously uttered the question in his heart.
Fang Fangzhen glanced at the copper pot in front of them, it was bubbling and bubbling, and the rich fragrance kept overflowing. He laughed and said, "Xiaocao! It turns out that the famous stewed vegetables for a penny on the pier is your family's handicraft!"
There were not many stewed vegetables left in the pot, Yu Xiaocao smiled sincerely and said, "Yes! General Fang! Would you like to try it?"
House Town was not hungry at first, smelling the tempting aroma, couldn't help but smash it and said, "Okay! Then I'll try it..."
Wu Yun, another confidant in Fangfang Town, reminded softly: "My lord, these are all made of pig intestines and belly. I don't know if they are cleaned up cleanly. How can you eat this!"
Before Wu Yun finished speaking, he was glared at by the adults of his family. Fang Fangzhen snorted coldly, and said: "I think you have lived in comfort too much, and you have become more particular about poverty! I heard that the northwest is not very stable. Would you like to be recommended by this general to exercise?"
Wu Yun was also promoted from the army in Fangfang Town, and the world has settled down after only a few wars, so the feeling of the raging wars in the past is not as deep as his family's adults. Seeing that the adult's face turned cold, he didn't dare to say more. I'm afraid to say one more thing, I'm on my way to the border tomorrow!
"Old man! Here is a bowl of braised noodles! Xiaocao, cut a plate of pork head for Uncle Fang!" Fang Fangzhen lifted up his official uniform and sat on a stool with a lame leg.
Old Liu's mouth trembled, he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak, and looked at Yu Xiaocao as if asking for help.
Xiaocao smiled and said: "General Fang! The pier conditions are quite difficult, Grandpa Liu is not ready to make stewed noodles! Why don't you ask him to roll a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles for you?"
"Vegetable egg noodles? Not good, not good! The tomato egg noodles I ate at Master's house yesterday tasted really good!" Fang Fangzhen smacked his lips in recollection. He lived for more than forty years, and it was the first time he heard that wolf peach can be cooked, and the taste is really good!
He said it casually and didn't report any hope. It just so happened that the tomatoes came from Yu Xiaocao's house, and when Yu Xiaocao went out in the morning, he picked a few overripe tomatoes and planned to eat one when he was thirsty. There are tomatoes and eggs, but still worry about not being able to make tomato and egg noodles
When Old Liu was finally about to say "I'm sorry", Yu Xiaocao glanced at him with a smile, and said to the house, "General Fang, if you don't mind, I'll make these tomato egg noodles for you Let's go! Let me put together a plate of stewed vegetables first, and you can eat it first, and the noodles will be ready in less than a quarter of an hour."
With a surprised expression on his face, Fang Fangzhen said: "There are really tomatoes? Oh! I remembered, the tomatoes from Master's house yesterday were sent by your family! Hehe, then today I am lucky! I heard that tomatoes are eaten raw It tastes sweet and sour, and tastes good, give me a taste first!"
Xiaocao took out the washed tomatoes from her basket, picked out the reddest and largest one, and sent it to General Fang, and cut the other two into pieces for later use.
Old Liu Tou finally realized that the high official in front of him was not so scary, he quickly rolled out the noodles under Xiaocao's instructions.
Xiaocao first put some meat oil in the pot, sautéed the scallions until fragrant, then put in the tomato cubes and stir-fried to make a thick soup. Pour in the beaten egg liquid again, wait for the egg liquid to solidify, and then stir fry gently. Then add an appropriate amount of water to boil, and put the noodles in. When the pot is opened again, add salt and green vegetables, stir gently, and it's ready to go!
The tomato and egg noodles are bright in color and fragrant, attracting the attention of many people around. Workers on the dock, where have you seen tomatoes? They asked Lao Liu the name and price of the noodles one after another.
Old Liu looked at Yu Xiaocao, and said hesitantly, "The tomato was brought by Xiaocao. I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen this kind of food. It shouldn't be... cheap, right?"
Yu Xiaocao nodded and said: "Tomatoes are indeed not cheap, they cost tens of renminbi a catty! This bowl of tomato egg noodles costs 30 to 40 renminbi alone. If you want to try it, you can ask Grandpa Liu made a reservation."
Over there, Fang Fangzhen couldn't wait to eat it, it was so hot that he sucked in the cold air, but he was still reluctant to spit out the hot noodles in his mouth.
After taking a bite of the noodles, he squinted his eyes contentedly, and praised repeatedly: "Xiaocao, what a handicraft! This bowl of egg noodles with tomatoes tastes even better than what I ate at Master's house yesterday! Your uncle, I am a rough People, I can't describe it in words - but it's really delicious."
As he spoke, he picked up the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and after cooling down slightly, he began to eat them in big mouthfuls. Seeing him eating so deliciously, the people around couldn't help but swallow their saliva!
Wu Yun took the opportunity to pour the remaining noodles and half a bowl of soup into a bowl, and drank it. If adults eat noodles, he can still get some soup to drink. As soon as the noodle soup was in his mouth, the slightly sour taste with a strong and delicious taste spread in his mouth, it was so delicious that he was about to cry.
After eating more than half a bowl of noodles, Fang Fangzhen was in the mood to savor the stewed meat platter that Xiaocao had cut for him. Whether it is the soft, glutinous and fragrant pork head, the crunchy shredded ear, or the oily large intestine, all of them are definitely top-notch delicacy. Even kelp and dried tofu have a special flavor.
House Town has been an official for many years, and he has tasted a lot of so-called delicacies when traveling all over the world. It seems that there are no such simple ingredients, and the taste made by marinating is more suitable for him.
Fang Fangzhen, who was not very hungry at first, ate a large bowl of noodles and then ate a large plate of stewed vegetables. Touching his full stomach, Fang Fangzhen did not hesitate to praise himself: "Hmm! The craftsmanship is good!! I didn't expect Xiaocao to be so skilled at such a young age. This stewed vegetables are more authentic than those in Zhenxiu Restaurant in the town. The taste It's comparable to roast chicken and salt water duck!"
Xiao Lian chuckled and said: "My lord doesn't know! The stewed vegetables from Zhenxiu Restaurant...is the recipe bought from our house!"
She wanted to say that the roasted chicken and sweet-scented osmanthus duck were also recipes developed by Xiaocao, but her younger sister grabbed the corner of her clothes, and after getting a hint, she only said braised vegetables.
"No wonder! It turns out that your family's braised vegetables are the most authentic!!" The house town was in a great mood!
