It is true that it is beautiful and delicious, but it is really not enough to fill your stomach. So the next morning, the young master got up before dawn, without disturbing his sleeping wife, walked out of the room with a frowning face while rubbing his belly, let the girls wash up listlessly, and he didn't allow the girls to wash up. They made a noise, went out quietly, and came all the way to the kitchen.
At that time, breakfast was being made in the kitchen, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were chatting and laughing, while preparing all kinds of breakfast, porridge, steamed buns, buns and various side dishes, the aroma of rice and noodles wafted in the wind, and the young master's saliva was almost drawn out.
After coughing and walking into the kitchen, it was like a unicorn pounced into the flock of sheep, only to frighten the women and daughters-in-law to disperse like birds and beasts, and only Xue's daughter-in-law was left standing there tremblingly, unable to run away. , reluctantly trembling and asked: "Grandpa... why did you come here? This... this is where the man stays?"
Duan Tingxuan coughed, his face was embarrassing and annoyed, why did he run in secret? Lord, I'm not a bully who robs women of the people, and I don't look at your crooked appearances, and tell me about the defense of men and women? Not looking in the mirror either.
On the face, she said kindly: "That...it's nothing. I'll see what's in season in the kitchen. The weather is getting hotter. The old lady is afraid of the heat. Are you ready for cold drinks?"
The daughter-in-law of the Xue family glanced outside in confusion. Although it was close to the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather at this moment is really not hot, and it is far from the point where cold drinks need to be prepared. But since the master asked the question, how dare he not answer? So he avoided the most important and reported the kitchen ingredients roughly, and then Fang accompanied him with a smile: "There is no news in the old lady's room that cold drinks are prepared, but the red beans sent by the Zhuangzi these days, the soup made by the old lady is very delicious. I like it. In addition, in addition to various beans, Zhuangzi also sent some wild game such as pheasants, rabbits and yellow sheep, and the masters of the mansion all like it.
Only then did Duan Tingxuan remember that when the Spring Festival is over, the Zhuangzi should send things to the mansion, although it is not as rich as during the New Year, it is better than the fresh taste. Recalling what Siping said before, he smiled and said, "I use it normally. Since there are red beans and soybeans, you can weigh a few catties for each of these and give them to me."
The sound of "Kaba" was the sound of Xue's daughter-in-law dislocating her jaw. She just opened her mouth and stared at Duan Tingxuan, as if she was staring at a weasel stealing a chicken. No wonder she was so surprised. Who ever heard of her master running away? Poaching in the kitchen? This behavior made Xue's daughter-in-law couldn't help but think of the scene when the grandma came to the kitchen to grab things in a majestic way.
"What's that expression on your face? Master, I can't even order some beans?" Duan Tingxuan couldn't help but became angry, no one could calm down if a servant looked at him like this: he just wanted to go to Meiyuelou for breakfast If Siping and Shuangxi were not allowed to enter the second gate at this time, why would he condescend himself to come here to ask for things
The daughter-in-law of the Xue family was startled, and realized that the master was not joking, so she didn't care if the chin was still connected, so she turned around and took the bag to put the beans in, while calling for help in a vague way.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Duan Tingxuan left the kitchen with a few big cloth bags in his hand, and walked towards Meiyue Tower along the garden path. While calculating in his heart, he secretly thought that at this time, they should not be able to make breakfast. Originally, hiding in such a remote place, there is no need to sleep in the morning and evening, and they can sleep as long as they want
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little unbalanced in my heart. I secretly thought that I threw them here for punishment, but now it seems that they are here to enjoy themselves. snort! It's all about enjoying the blessings, the key is that I can't eat something if I want to, and that nasty woman even spit in the food that I like, making it clear that she would rather feed the chicken than feed me, this... Is there any reason for this?
The more he thought about it, the more he was filled with righteous indignation, because by the time he reached the door, this righteous indignation had successfully escalated into murderous intent.
But the strong murderous aura disappeared in a blink of an eye, after Duan Tingxuan stepped into the courtyard gate and smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
What's this? Why is it so fragrant? The young master carried the bag of rice beans and tiptoed to the door of the kitchen, and heard Hong Lian laughing and said: "Grandma too, if you want to eat this, the servants can just go to the street to buy it, why bother?"
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "How can it be done? We have something in our hands and no money in our pockets. It's just a coincidence that we met this pulp this morning. If it wasn't for someone who picked it up and walked around the streets, we wouldn't be able to sell it. That's cheap."
Duan Tingxuan had already seen it clearly during the time of talking like this: there was half a pan of oil in the big grass pot, and Su Nuannuan threw a long strip of dough into it, and it floated up after a while, the golden yellow cage was really beautiful , the rich aroma also hooked the gluttons in the belly.
"Grandma miscalculated this time, although it's not very cheap to buy. It's just that you make it yourself now, and don't say anything else, just talk about the oil, how much will it cost?"
However, Xiangyun said regretfully from the side, then Su Nuannuan shook her head and smiled and said: "You are such a stupid girl, this oil can be reused after it is used up, not just throwing it away, it is good for cooking, making dumplings and steaming buns... "
Before she finished speaking, she saw Duan Tingxuan who was hiding by the door and was peeping into the house, so she grabbed a rag from the stove and threw it out.
Fortunately, Duan Tingxuan's skill was not given for nothing, he jumped to the side, and the attack of this rag completely failed, then he walked into the kitchen carrying the bag, Shi Shiran, and smiled as calmly as possible: "Yo, you guys have intentions!" , get up early to fry fried dough sticks?"
Food like deep-fried dough sticks is not very common on the street. People in that era were struggling with life, so how could they be willing to use half a pot of oil to fry things? Even if you can use it a few times, you will feel distressed after all. Fried dough sticks and fried cakes are not elegant, so the profit is very meager. If you want to eat, there are a few shops that will sell them, but they are far inferior to rice porridge and pickles. popularity.
The Hou Mansion is a wealthy family, so there is no need to feel sorry for the oil, but the rich and powerful people at that time paid attention to health preservation, and such greasy food is obviously not in line with the way of health preservation, so basically rice porridge, pickled vegetables, steamed buns and steamed buns are the main snacks for breakfast. Lord, it is rare to honor the master by serving fried dough sticks, fried dough cakes and soy milk to the table. Therefore, although Duan Tingxuan knows this stuff, but thinking about it carefully, he has never eaten it a few times, so he smells the aroma and thinks that they are made by Su Nuannuan, the taste must be better, and his saliva is a bit flooded the trend of.
"Grandpa, what is this in your hand?"
Su Nuannuan didn't bother to pay attention to the big fox who ate and drank, but Honglian and Xiangyun saluted seriously. Seeing that the master was carrying a few cloth bags that were seriously inconsistent with his identity and image, Xiangyun couldn't bear it. I asked curiously.
"Ahem... that... I passed by the kitchen occasionally today and saw fresh rice beans from Zhuangzi there, so I brought some for you to see if I can use it, and throw it away if I don't."
With the thickness of Duan Tingxuan's skin, looking at these cloth bags, he couldn't help but blush a little, and the young master burst into tears in his heart: Damn, just to grab some food, is it easy for me
Honglian and Xiangyun were overjoyed, Honglian quickly took the bag with a smile, and said, "What did you say? Where can I throw away good rice beans? Such a waste of food will be condemned by God."
While talking, she winked at Xiangyun, seeing that the girl still didn't understand, she dragged the little girl out, and only after walking more than ten steps away, she lightly poked Xiangyun's finger, and whispered: "You really are She doesn't wink, finally grandma is in a good mood today, and grandpa just brought over something again, why don't you let him talk alone."
Xiangyun rubbed his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Sister, do you think I don't understand your thoughts? It's just that grandma treats you very differently now, and I'm afraid that they won't agree with each other, so I moved again. Wouldn't the grudge be deeper?"
Hong Lian was stunned, and shook her head after a long while and said: "Yes, it was my negligence, how could I forget this?" As she spoke, she raised her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen worriedly.
In the kitchen, Su Nuannuan didn't give an inch like before. While straining the dough into the pot, she squinted at Duan Tingxuan, and said with a sneer, "My lord is quite sensible today, and I finally know that there is no reason to eat in vain." , I even know how to bring some rice beans."
The corner of Duan Tingxuan's mouth twitched: Forget it, for the sake of the delicious fried dough sticks, I don't have the same knowledge as her, there are a lot of them, good men don't fight with women.
"What is this round one? I know that this long strip is fried dough sticks, so what about this round one? Could it be called pancakes?" Duan Tingxuan wanted to have a good relationship with Su Nuannuan, so his tone was slightly smiling Of course, if you say that he is flattering you, the young master will never admit it even if he dies.
"It's called oil cakes, why? Haven't you seen them?" Su Nuannuan was a little puzzled. She knew that there were fried dough sticks in ancient times. Could it be that there are no fried dough sticks? No way? The fried dough sticks are salty and the oil cakes are sweet, which just meet the needs of people with various tastes. If there is no oil cakes, how can the dispute between sweet and salty parties be resolved? Isn't the sweet party even more bitter and bitter
"It's really called pancakes?" Duan Tingxuan didn't expect that he was mistaken, so he couldn't help but stretched his head to take a closer look: "It's strange, pancakes look like this? Where are the chopped green onions? There are a lot of chopped green onions on the pancakes I've eaten. "
"You are scallion pancakes, right?" Su Nuannuan looked at the scumbag husband with contempt: With such knowledge, he still has the face to be a foodie. It's really embarrassing for the foodies.
"Scallion pancakes... aren't they also pancakes?"
Duan Tingxuan was even more puzzled. It's true that he likes food, but he really hasn't done any research on these food and drink. , "It's also oil cake, but it's different from this sugar oil cake." Su Nuannuan is too lazy to talk nonsense with the scumbag, otherwise, why do I have to give him the history and family members of popular science oil cake? Tell him that the pancake family not only has sugar pancakes and scallion pancakes, but also pancake gluten pancakes. Well, I didn’t catch up with pancakes on February 2. I’m a little greedy. Now there are leeks and some bean sprouts. Let’s see when Get a meal.
