The General’s Wife of the Buddhist Family

Chapter 142: Serves a variety of pastries

Views:

Luo Jianjia planned to get up early in the morning to steam buns, but last night was too noisy and she got up late.

She didn't know when Chu Wei Leng left in the morning, she only knew that he made her fuss for a while, but she was so sleepy that she didn't wake up.

When she woke up, it was almost Chenzheng.

After washing up and going to the main courtyard, Boss Chu had already gone out to the vegetable field, and Mrs. Zhao was making coats in the house.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I overslept." Luo Jianjia said a little embarrassedly.

Looking at her daughter-in-law's ruddy face with a spring face, Zhao Shi guessed what was going on.

Besides, her son told her when he left early in the morning, and she already knew that, so how could she blame her.

"It's alright, there's nothing else at home, you sleep as long as you like. I'll keep the food warm for you in the pot. You can go to sleep after you've eaten." Zhao said thoughtfully.

Luo Jianjia woke up late today, slept for a long time, and where did she need to catch up on sleep, she quickly rejected Zhao's proposal: "No need, mother, let's go to steam buns and make pies after I have eaten."

Zhao Shi said: "No hurry, no hurry, you have a good rest first."

Luo Jianjia said: "I really don't need it, mother, it's the same if you take a rest at noon."

Seeing her daughter-in-law say this, Mrs. Zhao looked at her again, and agreed with her.

Luo Jianjia had eaten, and Zhao had already chopped the leeks and carrots, and scrambled the eggs.

Luo Jianjia boiled the bean paste and started steaming the steamed buns.

After steaming the steamed buns, Luo Jianjia began to adjust the filling.

Now that the conditions at home are getting better and better, Mr. Zhao is not saving so much. He puts more eggs and is willing to put oil.

The chives and eggs are very fragrant together.

"In the past, everyone thought leeks were delicious, but I thought it was not delicious. Now that I think about it, I still put less ingredients, less eggs, and less oil." Zhao said with emotion.

"Mother is right. But don't put too much, it will look tired."

"That's it. Eat a lot with less, and it won't taste good with too much, so it has to be in moderation."

While the two were talking, Luo Jianjia took out the pork and chopped it up.

There is no shortage of meat and vegetables at home. Since I plan to make more pies, I want to make all kinds of pies.

The two worked in the kitchen for more than half an hour, talking and working, and finally made the steamed buns and cakes.

Although they had just eaten in the morning, the freshly made pie tasted so delicious that the two of them couldn't help eating a pie again.

Zhao Shi ate the bean paste stuffing she was thinking of, while Luo Jianjia ate a leek and egg stuffing.

The three of them ate pies at noon.

When Chu Wei came back in the evening, had dinner, and sat in the house for a while, he couldn't help but go outside and grab a popsicle to eat.

Chu Wei Leng complimented while eating: "My lady is really amazing, she can make such delicious food."

Seeing him eating happily like a child, Luo Jianjia couldn't help shaking her head.

After eating one, Chu Wei Leng went to get another one.

Luo Jianjia couldn't help but said, "Don't eat too much, and be careful with your stomach."

Chu Wei took a cold bite and said, "No, it's so young, my lady can rest assured."

Saying that, he ate again.

Luo Jinjia didn't want to eat it at first, but seeing Chu Wei Leng eating happily, he couldn't help but want to eat it.

But a popsicle was too big and too cold for her to finish it.

Xu Shi Luo Jinjia's eyes were too hot, Chu Wei Leng noticed it and asked, "Do you want to eat my lady? I'll go get you one."

Luo Jianjia pursed her lips and said, "No need."

"Huh?" Chu Wei coldly wondered.

"It's too big, I can't finish it." Luo Jianjia explained.

Chu Wei Leng was stunned at first, then looked down at the popsicle in his hand, and said, "If the lady doesn't dislike it, why don't you eat this in my hand?"

despise him

If she really despised him, she wouldn't let him kiss her.

Luo Jianjia glanced at Chu Wei coldly.

Chu Wei Leng knew that he guessed right, got up and walked to Luo Jinjia's side, and handed the popsicle to her.

"Eat here, I haven't bitten here."

On Chu Wei's cold hand, Luo Jianjia took a bite.

At first, it felt a bit icy, but after getting used to it, it felt very cool and refreshing.

"Is it delicious?" Chu Wei asked coldly.

Luo Jianjia nodded.

After Chu Wei took a cold bite, he handed it to Luo Jianjia.

They just ate a mung bean popsicle one bite at a time.

After eating, Chu Wei was not satisfied, and went to get another one.

Despite Luo Jianjia's reminder, he still ate.

"Why are you greedy like a child?"

"It's not that the lady's cooking is too delicious for her husband."

Seeing that he put the responsibility on her, Luo Jinjia couldn't help but beat Chu Wei coldly.

Chu Wei Leng felt nothing, and ate sweetly.

Seeing him eating happily, Luo Jianjia also felt happy and asked, "Do you like it very much?"

Chu Wei nodded without hesitation: "I like it."

"What about the big buns?"

Chu Wei hesitated coldly.

Luo Jianjia laughed, stopped teasing him, and said, "If you like it, I'll make you some other flavors someday."

Chu Wei's eyes lit up coldly, he hugged Luo Jianjia and kissed: "My lady is so nice, thank you lady."

Luo Jianjia pushed her away, touched the cheek he had kissed, and said in disgust, "Why, your mouth is full of sticky stuff."

Chu Wei cooled down and didn't feel disliked at all, he hugged Luo Jianjia and kissed again, and said, "Why don't I give you a clean kiss for my husband?"

Luo Jianjia's face turned red all of a sudden and hit him.

Since what happened that day, Chu Weilen has really become more and more outrageous in private, and more and more excessive. He can say anything, and he is completely different from before.

Now that the twelfth lunar month has entered, it will be Laba in the blink of an eye.

On the day of Laba Festival, several shops in the family no longer serve ordinary porridge, but provide free Laba porridge in front of the shop.

Seeing how Mr. Zhao and Boss Chu liked it, Luo Jianjia looked at the oven at home and wondered if he wanted to make some sweets.

Before moving to the General's House, Luo Jianjia had already made two ovens, but they had not used them for so long.

Her taste is relatively light, whether it is spicy, sour, or sweet, she likes it all, but she doesn't like it that much.

So, she can eat anything, not so particular about it.

These days, she has been caring about Chu Wei Leng's taste, and most of the things she cooks are spicy, greasy, and salty.

However, he ignored Zhao Shi and Boss Chu.

Recently, seeing that Zhao wanted to eat the bean paste cakes she made, and also liked the sweet mung bean glutinous rice porridge, she also liked Laba porridge, so she wanted to make some delicious sweets for them.

The easiest and best thing to do is chicken cakes.

It's just that a mold is needed to make this food, so Luo Jianjia went to the shop to make it first, and then made it after a day.

Zhao was very excited when her daughter-in-law said that she was going to make delicious food. She followed Luo Jianjia to the kitchen to help her early in the morning.

Luo Jianjia beat a few eggs first, added sugar to it, kept beating, and then added flour to it.

Finally, squeeze the batter into the mold and put it in the oven.

Not long after the batter is placed in the oven, the flavor of the chicken cake comes out.

The familiar taste made Luo Jianjia feel that he had traveled to the modern era for a moment.

"It smells so good, what's this smell?" Zhao Shi smelled such a smell for the first time. Although he thought it smelled very good, he didn't know how to describe it.

"Mother, it's the smell of eggs mixed with flour, which is the smell of chicken cake." Luo Jianjia explained to her.

"Is this the smell of chicken cake? It smells too good." After speaking, Mr. Zhao sniffed again, "It's really fragrant, it smells so good, what does it taste like?"

Just after she finished speaking, Mrs Zhao swallowed again, her eyes looking at the oven were a little more fiery and expectant.

In no time, the chicken cake is ready.

The moment the oven door was opened, a more intense chicken cake smell came out.

Not only in the kitchen, but even Boss Chu, who was working in the yard, smelled it and came to the kitchen unknowingly.

"Why is it so delicious, what are your mothers doing?"

"Jianjia made a chicken cake, it's just done, come and have a look." Zhao shi greeted Boss Chu warmly.

Luo Jianjia put on thick gloves and took the four chicken cakes out of the oven.

From the looks of it, it should have been a success.

Just don't know how it tastes.

She didn't give it to Mrs. Zhao and Boss Chu. She took the chicken cake out of the mold first, squeezed it, broke it apart, and tasted it.

Still a familiar taste.

Throughout the whole process, Mrs. Zhao and Boss Chu stared at her closely.

After tasting it, she nodded at Zhao Shi and Boss Chu, and said, "Father and mother, it was a success."

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chu were very happy, staring at the chicken cake in the mold.

Luo Jianjia took out the other three chicken cakes and gave each to Zhao Shi and Boss Chu.

Zhao has been looking forward to it since the beginning of making it, and now he can finally eat it.

Xu was because it was too fragrant. After getting it, Mr. Zhao didn't eat it, but smelled the chicken cake.

The more I smelled it, the more I liked it, and after a few sniffs, I started to eat it.

The moment he ate into his mouth, Zhao's eyes lit up.

"Why does this taste so good? It's soft and burnt, with the fragrance of flour and eggs." Zhao said while eating.

At this moment, Boss Chu has finished eating a chicken cake. He wiped his mouth and reminisced about the taste just now. After holding it for a long time, he said, "It's delicious, can you make more?"

Boss Chu has never made any request to Luo Jianjia. Now that he has opened his mouth to mention it, it shows that he really likes it.

Although Luo Jianjia has made chicken cakes before, they are made in the oven.

It was done many times before it was successful.

Now it's the first time to make it in an oven, and I don't know if it will work.

Because she made it for the first time, she was afraid of failing and wasting ingredients, so she made a smaller portion.

I just didn't expect it to be successful once.

"Dad, you eat this first. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well, so I made less, and I'll make more right away." Luo Jianjia said.

There was only one left, and Boss Chu hesitated, looked at Luo Jianjia, and then looked at Zhao Shi.

Luo Jianjia could see what Boss Chu was thinking, and said with a smile, "Father, this thing is not uncommon, and it's done very quickly. You and your mother have divided this one up, and I'll do it right away."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhao said, "No need, let your father eat it first, and let's continue to do it."

Boss Chu originally continued to refuse, but Zhao shi persuaded him to stop: "If you delay any longer, it will be cold. This is made of eggs. If it is cold, it will be bad if it is fishy. Eat it quickly."

Boss Chu just started eating.

Luo Jianjia and Zhao continued to make chicken cakes.

Since he just succeeded, Luo Jianjia did more this time.

Later, Luo Jianjia tried to add some honey to it.

After adding honey, the taste is even more sweet.

Luo Jianjia made dozens of them in one go.

At noon, the three of them didn't cook any more, so they simply boiled a porridge and ate honey cake.

Zhao really likes to eat this little cake, and he ate about ten in the morning.

Boss Chu also ate a lot.

When Chu Wei came back in the evening, Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Chu both recommended this little cake to their son.

Although Chu Weilen didn't like sweets, he tried it and ate two.

The next morning, Mr. Zhao ate two more chicken cakes.

Seeing that she likes to eat, Luo Jianjia plans to study other methods.

For the next few days, Luo Jianjia and Zhao Shi were busy in the kitchen.

The effect is also excellent, they toasted the bread and added glutinous rice flour, red and mung beans, and milk.

Moreover, the taste of the baked red bean bread is different from the red bean pie, and they are both delicious.

Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao were very happy and ate sweets every day.

They were happy, and Luo Jianjia was also happy.

This is so bitter that Chu Wei is cold.

Because of these pastries, there are very few dishes for dinner.

Luo Jinjia also thought about cooking some dishes, but thought that Chu Wei Leng only likes to eat big steamed buns every day, so he didn't do it.

Chu Weilen didn't like sweets at all. Although Luo Jianjia's cakes and breads were very delicious, eating sweets every day made his stomach feel sour.

In addition to pantothenic acid in the stomach, this sour water has some unpleasant taste.

His wife only cared about his parents and forgot about him.

When he returned to the house in the evening, Chu Wei asked tentatively, "Miss, do you want to bake bread with your mother tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Luo Jianjia removed his glasses from the book and looked at Chu Weilen.

"It depends on what the mother means."

Chu Wei pursed his lips coldly and said, "How about you take a day off tomorrow and go shopping outside?"

"Why?" Luo Jianjia asked.

Chu Wei coughed coldly and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will be tired?"

Luo Jinjia was a little suspicious, looked Chu Weilen up and down, thinking about the events of the past few days, and said, "Xianggong seems to have a bad appetite recently, and he eats a lot less than before, but there are troubles in the army?"

Chu Wei shook his head coldly.

There are indeed troubles in the military, but those troubles are always there and cannot be solved in a moment.

However, he was still very relieved to hear Luo Jianjia's concern.

"No."

"Then why have you lost your appetite?" Luo Jianjia asked suspiciously.

Chu Wei has been holding back for a few days, and now he can't help but say, "Miss, can you cook a bowl of noodles for your husband?"

Cook noodles

This was the first time Chu Weilen wanted to have a late-night snack.

"Aren't you full for dinner?"

Chu Wei shook his head coldly and honestly, and said pitifully, "No."

Luo Jianjia frowned slightly.

How could you not be full.

Although she and Zhao shi have been studying the practice of sweets recently, they have not forgotten Chu Wei Leng. Every day, she warms up big steamed buns for him and prepares some spicy and salty side dishes, all of which he likes to eat. .

"Why aren't you full?" Luo Jianjia was still very puzzled.

Chu Wei coldly stretched out his hand to hold Luo Jianjia's hand, and said, "My lady makes cakes for my parents every day, and I don't cook much anymore."

"Don't you like eating big steamed buns the most? Isn't it the same whether you cook or not?"

"How can it be the same?"

Hearing Chu Weilen's words, and looking at his performance, Luo Jianjia understood.

So, in the final analysis, although Chu Wei Leng likes to eat big steamed buns, he also likes to eat other meals she cooks.

Sometimes he didn't cherish it well before, but now no one has done it for him, so he just thinks about it.

Luo Jianjia smiled and said, "I thought the husband only needed to have big steamed buns."

Chu Wei looked at his wife's frowning eyes coldly, and was not afraid that she would laugh at him.

He pinched the lady's palm and said, "As long as there is a lady, it's enough for my husband."

Luo Jianjia raised her hand and patted him lightly.

After a while, the two went to the kitchen.

Luo Jianjia planned to make a fried sauce noodles for Chu Weilen.

First cut the pork belly at home into cubes, and then adjust the sauce.

Pour oil into the pot, add the pork belly, put some minced onion, ginger and garlic in the pot, stir-fry until fragrant and add the prepared sauce.

Pour cold water into another pot and cook the noodles after the water boils.

After the noodles are cooked, take them out, pour the sauce on top of the noodles, and add the shredded cucumbers that have just been cut.

A simple bowl of fried noodles is ready.

When Luo Jianjia was cooking sauce just now, Chu Wei was so greedy that his stomach was already growling.

As soon as the face was put in front of him, he immediately ate with a big mouthful.

Luo Jianjia took out another bowl and placed a bowl of noodle soup in front of Chu Weilen.

Under the dim yellow oil lamp, looking at the man sitting across from him gorging on the noodles, Luo Jianjia felt that his heart was suddenly filled.

Such a peaceful and warm day is what she has been pursuing.

"Eat slowly, if it's not enough, I'll cook it for you." Luo Jianjia said.

Chu Wei Leng didn't know what it meant to be slow, so he quickly finished the bowl of noodles.

After eating, the two went back to the house.

When walking to the door, looking at the things on the chair at the door, Luo Jianjia said, "Actually, I made watermelon-flavored popsicles for my husband today, you can try them later."

Hearing this, Chu Wei's eyes lit up.

He knew that his wife would not forget him.

"Okay, I'll try it later."

Early the next morning, Mr. Zhao proposed to open a shop to sell these cakes and breads.

Luo Jianjia also had this plan before, and he hit it off with the Zhao family.

"It's just that there are still a few varieties now. We have to think about whether there are other flavors." Luo Jianjia said.

"Okay, let's go to the shop to have a look and think about it." Zhao Shi said.

In the next few days, Luo Jianjia and Zhao continued to study.

This time they came up with a lot of flavors, such as chestnuts, and some nuts such as peanuts.

Luo Jianjia looked at the fruits in the greenhouse and thought of making some jam in the bread.

The two were studying in full swing in the mansion, and an imperial decree suddenly arrived at the General's Mansion.

This purpose is not for Chu Weilen, but for Luo Jianjia. I said a lot of complicated things before, but Luo Jianjia only remembered the most crucial sentence, that is, the emperor wanted to make her a third-grade official.

In this dynasty, women's official appointments did not come with their husband's official position. Some people had official appointments, and most people did not.

Luo Jianjia has been living far away from the capital, how could he suddenly get an appointment

She also didn't hear that Chu Wei Leng has done anything spectacular recently.

This is really strange.
