Zhu Junyang's phoenix eyes turned, and he looked at Yu Xiaocao, that girl was smiling heartlessly. What annoyed him the most was that the little girl served a bowl of "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall" for Su Ran with her own hands, and blew it for fear of burning him...
"Ahem!" Zhu Junyang pretended to cough twice, seeing everyone looking at him, including Xiaocao's slightly surprised gaze, he frowned slightly, made a look of discomfort, and said with self-pity, "Oh, I don’t know if it’s because I worked too hard when I was in the northwest, and I didn’t eat well. I always feel uncomfortable in my bones. I don’t know if I can make up for it... "
General Zhao and his son: ...
I don't know who was in the northwest, from time to time, they attacked the enemy's rear at night, and the trophies of cattle and sheep captured were used to reward the three armies. As the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, King Yang did not eat less beef and mutton at that time. In addition, this guy often takes his cronies to go deep into the grasslands to hunt wild game, eating all the cronies around him fat and strong. In the army, who doesn't know that Yang Junwang has a kind of barbecue seasoning in his hands, and the roasted beef and mutton have a unique flavor and are incomparably delicious
If it is said that he is physically weak, Old General Zhao will be the first to jump out and say that he doesn't believe it! Following Xu Wang's gaze, Old General Zhao knew in his heart that a certain person was jealous and begged to be petted!
How could Yu Xiaocao not understand Zhu Junyang's urination? He just saw that he served Mr. Su a bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, and the jar of jealousy was overturned again! In front of so many people, she couldn't say anything, so she helped him serve a bowl silently, gave him a dark look, and said, "The reason why 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' has become a delicacy in the Medicinal Food Shop is because it has blood-enriching properties. It has the effects of nourishing qi, clearing the lungs and moistening the intestines, and preventing sweating, so you should eat more."
Then, she gave everyone present a bowl one by one. Although Old General Zhao has not been in Beijing all year round, he has heard of Yuji Herbal Cuisine Workshop, especially this "Buddha jumping over the wall", which is sought after by many rich and powerful in Beijing. Old General Zhao can be regarded as a glutton, so he asked people to go to the medicinal food workshop to reserve a place. Unexpectedly, the private room has been reserved until ten days later, and the medicinal meal of "Buddha Jumping over the Wall" will be scheduled for three months later... Tell me, it's easy to eat delicious food!
Fortunately, the master of Yuji Medicinal Food Workshop is a relative and friend of their Zhao family. Today, a banquet was held to welcome them, and there was the dish "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall", which was cooked by the founder of Herbal Food. Then you have to taste it!
Old General Zhao scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon, blew it lightly, and put it into his mouth. The fresh and rich taste bursts in the taste buds. He took a few more mouthfuls before savoring and said: "These ingredients are simmered together in a jar, the taste is complex and unique, and they still maintain their own characteristics. It tastes soft and tender, with a rich meaty aroma, and it is meaty but not greasy; The ingredients are infiltrated with each other, and the taste is delicious. Not bad, not bad! It's worth waiting for three months!"
"Grandpa Zhao, if you like it, I will give you a supreme card of Yaoshanfang. Members with a supreme card have supreme authority, no need to make a reservation, no need to wait, and you can eat as you go..." A total of five supreme cards were issued , is made of Hetian jade carving, inlaid with pink diamonds, it looks very tall. At present, only two Supreme Cards are given out, one is given to the Emperor and the other is given to Prince Jing's Mansion.
When General Zhao heard this, he shook his head again and again. Just kidding, only the emperor can be called "Supreme Supreme". After all, King Jing is the father of King Xu, and Xiaocao's future father-in-law, so he will accept it if he accepts it. What virtue and ability does he have, dare to treat him like the emperor
Yu Xiaocao saw that he was determined to refuse, and she didn't force it, she just said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you have this card or not, I will say hello to the shopkeeper in the shop, and when you go, report your identity, and someone will take you Come and dine in my private room."
Old General Zhao nodded in agreement. Zhao Bufan laughed and said, "Your exclusive private room can only be used by you, Grandpa Zhao? Uncle Zhao, can I take advantage of it?"
"Of course! However, you have to coordinate with Grandpa Zhao so that you don't choose to use it on the same day, which will cause a collision." Yu Xiaocao pursed her lips and smiled. In fact, she seldom goes to the Medicinal Food Workshop for meals, and the reserved private room is useless to her.
General Zhao and his son looked at each other, expressing their satisfaction. The little grass girl didn't get separated from them because they moved away from Dongshan Village or because of the passage of time.
The next meal can be said to be a feast for the guests and the host. "Guotao pork tenderloin" is bright yellow in color, fresh and tender in the mouth, salty and light to the palate. "Guobaorou" is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, which will greatly increase the appetite. "West Lake Vinegar Fish" tastes fresh, sour and sweet, with the umami taste of hairy crabs. "Flour steamed meat" is glutinous and fragrant, fat and thin, with a strong fragrance.
Zhao's father and son have surprisingly similar tastes, and they both fell in love with the taste of "Jiuzhuan Fat Sausage". This dish is made by cleaning the large intestine of pigs, blanching them with water, frying them, adding more than ten kinds of seasonings, and cooking them over low heat. Sour, sweet, fragrant, spicy, and salty, with a ruddy color and a soft texture. A plate of large intestine was almost rounded up by the father and son.
Aunt Zhao covered her face helplessly, fortunately this was a guest at Xiaocao's house, if it were someone else, she might think she was harsh on her father-in-law and her husband. Otherwise, how could he be reincarnated like a starving ghost! However, she still puts her heart and soul into serving food for the father and son. After all, having been stationed at the northwest border for so many years, the diet is not to my liking, let alone the food! How can there be any delicious food for the Huawai ethnic groups in the Northwest
After lunch, while chatting, it was inevitable to talk about Xu Wang and Xiaocao's marriage. The marriage between the two was set in March of the next year, and it was Princess Jing who took the horoscopes of their birthdays and asked the old abbot of Tian'an Temple outside the city to do the math. Although Tian'an Temple is not as famous as Huguo Temple and Baima Temple, it is said that it is the most famous for helping people watch their lives. Many people have traveled thousands of miles from other places and let him count it!
The old host gave Concubine Jing three days, one was the sixth day of March, one was the eighteenth of September, and the other was the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month. Without even thinking about it, Princess Jing helped her son set the date on the sixth day of March. She still doesn't understand what her son is thinking? She never knew that her youngest son was so patient and perseverant that he kept the little girl first for eight or nine years. The son's mood must be the same as hers, and he hopes that the sooner he can marry the little girl home, the better!
Fortunately, the son declared his ownership early. Otherwise, with the current reputation of the little grass girl in Beijing, some people want to marry her back as a daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law. After all, the little girl's own ability and the wealth behind her are an irresistible temptation for many people. Take Sheng Chong as an example, to have a relationship with her is to enter the sight of the Holy Majesty, and to be able to talk to many dignitaries...
Zhu Junyang obviously agreed with the wise choice of his mother and concubine. Now that October is about to enter, and there is less than half a year left before March, he and Prince Jing's residence have already started preparations for the betrothal gifts, but they still feel that there are not enough things. It seems that the more dowry gifts, the more precious they are, and the more they can show the sincerity of Prince Jing's residence and him.
He has also arranged for people to start repairing and furnishing the house bestowed by the emperor. As hostess and hostess, he and Xiaocao will live in the main courtyard in the future. He plans to take the little girl there another day and ask her to give her suggestions for repairs. After all, it is the place where she will live in the future. Only if she is satisfied!
Old General Zhao, father and son, and chief executive Su Ran all regarded themselves as members of Xiaocao's family, and they also participated in the discussion of dowry and dowry.
While chatting, I somehow came across "Zhi Yu Zhai" under the name of Zhu Junyang. The shopkeeper Zhang of Zhiyuzhai is indeed a talent. Even though the master has not been in Beijing for more than a year, he still manages the business well. Especially the jadeite and rough stone trading that Xiaocao mentioned has been booming.
Although the folk customs in the southwestern border are tough, they are a bit chaotic. However, Zhu Junyang's powerful subordinates are not vegetarians. Shopkeeper Zhang personally followed him on a trip to the southwest, found the most famous local jadeite rough masters, bought two jadeite rough mines that had just been mined in Pagan, and got in touch with several powerful local mine owners. . On the first trip, he brought back more than 20 carts of rough jadeite. Thinking about the backward traffic at this time, it is really difficult for him!
As soon as the rough jadeite was brought back, shopkeeper Zhang invited Xiaocao to pick it out. Among the more than twenty carts of rough jadeite, Xiaocao found a basketball-sized piece of emerald green material, and happily took it down. In addition, she also picked a piece of glass-species red jadeite and a piece of chicken oil yellow.
It has to be said that shopkeeper Zhang's personality is quite good, and the two jadeite mines he bought have a high chance of producing rough stones. One out of ten yuan has a big rise, and out of twenty cars of rough stones, nearly ten pieces of glass or high ice can be produced.
At the request of shopkeeper Zhang, Xiaocao helped select a few pieces of jadeite and sell them as hot items in the store. The emerald "Master" who was invited by shopkeeper Zhang was amazed when he saw the emerald from the stone selected by Xiaocao. Unexpectedly, in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, any young and beautiful girl would be more accurate in looking at Jade than he, who has been dealing with Jade for more than ten years.
When the exquisite jade jewelry came out, the bright color, bright luster, and exquisite carving immediately attracted a group of fans. Jade jewelry is expensive, but it cannot stop the pursuit of noble ladies and famous ladies in Beijing and China.
In particular, Princess Jing wore a complete set of imperial green jadeite jewelry and attended the flower viewing banquet. The color that is so thick that it seems to be dripping, looks like a lake blue at first glance under the sun, but it turns into a dazzling emerald green when you look closely, and turns into a sun green when you look at it in a blink of an eye. It is unpredictable and beautiful. . It sets off Princess Jing more dignified and noble, adding a sense of beauty.
In addition, for the first time, Yu Xiaocao widely invited young ladies in Beijing to participate in the "Taste Early adopters". At the party, food is no longer the focus of discussion among ladies. The red emerald bracelet on Xiaocao's wrist is as dazzling as the red clouds in the sky, and the beaded jade hairpin adorned with red emeralds on her head is bright red, bright in color and delicate in texture.
