After my future brother-in-law moved into a new house, he replaced his cook, and she was so good at making even ordinary steamed buns so delicious!
This was the first feeling of the hungry Zhu Erlian after he ate four large steamed buns. Aunt Liu, whom Zhang Shou had brought from Rongshui Village, had good cooking skills and could make many tricks that he had never heard of before, but when it came to making dim sum, she was far inferior to the Zhu family. But the steamed bun he had just eaten was completely different!
It was clearly vegetable stuffing, but he had no idea how it was stuffed. At first, he just thought the first one was delicious, but he looked at and tasted the second, third, and fourth ones carefully. It was just ordinary green vegetables, mushrooms, spring bamboo shoots, and some black things that he couldn't tell what they were, so why did he feel so happy eating it that his eyebrows were about to fall off
Although he is not tired of all the delicacies from land and sea, he has eaten a lot of good things!
Just as Zhu Er's eyes were rolling around, staring at the kind-looking woman in front of him, and he was even thinking about whether he should find a way to dig her back to the Zhu family or have a few more meals with his future brother-in-law in the future, he suddenly heard a loud voice: "Mr. Zhu Er, my young master invites you over!"
The person who spoke was Yang Hao. As the grandson of Master Yang, although he had only learned some Tang and Song poems and some basic arithmetic from Zhang Shou, and had not even mastered them well, Yang Hao still remembered his grandfather's words firmly. After arriving in the capital, he put away all the titles and only used the three words "young master".
At this moment, seeing Zhu Er waking up from a dream and actually bowing to that old lady Xu, he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. It was not because of the disparity in their status, but because he had moved in earlier and knew clearly how terrible that old lady Xu, who looked like the old lady next door, was... She actually made a plate of fried scorpions yesterday and ate it all up without paying attention to anyone around!
Yang Hao looked at the smiling Xu Po who was holding the plate and watching them leave with a fear. He wanted to ask Zhu Er what he had just eaten several times, but he swallowed the words back. When he brought Zhu Er to the door of Zhang Shou's study, he hesitated again and again, but finally whispered a few words of reminder.
"Second Master Zhu, that old lady Xu is a great soup cook. She is better than Aunt Liu in many cooking skills, but she... ahem, can cook anything. She was showing off to Aunt Liu before, saying that she once skinned a snake alive and ate its meat raw, which scared Aunt Liu so much that she almost fainted."
It was not surprising to see snake meat in dishes. Zhu Er himself was a curious person and had tasted snake meat soup before. As long as he didn't see the spotted snake skin, he had no psychological trauma at all. However, when Yang Hao described how the cook, Mrs. Xu, actually ate raw snake meat, he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.
"And..." Yang Hao paused, then stammered, "Mrs. Xu said that she is very good at preparing a whole insect banquet. That is... the insect in the insect."
Zhu Er finally couldn't hold it in any longer. However, just as he was about to scratch his throat and spit out the steamed bun he had just eaten to see what the mess was, he heard Zhang Shou's laughter: "The whole insect banquet is good stuff. At least, silkworm pupae, locusts, and scorpions, after being fried in oil, are all quite delicious without any seasoning."
