The medicated meals and supplements made by the chef of Jun's family taste almost as unpalatable as medicine. Aunt Yan's craftsmanship is good, and she is tasting and giving pointers on the side, what taste is missing, what needs to be improved, she has a cunning mouth, and she knows after a taste. The final boiled wolfberry angelica chicken is comparable to the craftsmanship of a five-star chef. Gu Ye's taste buds, who had been indebted for a long time, finally had a chance to recover, and this meal was extremely satisfying.
Even the grandfather and grandson of Gu Xiao and Gu Ming couldn't help but taste the fresh fragrance. This taste is out of control. In a pot of chicken soup, Gu Ye and Aunt Yan only drank one bowl each, and the rest were wrapped up by the two men.
Gu Ming spat out a piece of bone and drank the last sip of chicken soup into the mouth. He said, "I didn't expect medicated food to be so delicious. Sister, you really don't know your happiness in the midst of happiness!"
Gu Ye rolled his eyes at him and said, "You haven't tasted the supplements made by the chefs of Jun's family. They only focus on nutrition, not on taste. They have no taste at all, like chewing wax. Our Aunt Yan's cooking skills are superb. , compared to the biggest restaurants in Yancheng!"
Yan Qiutong pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's good that the girl gave pointers on the side!"
"My sister has a rich tongue, so she can be picky about what she eats. The braised pork I made last time was delicious, but my sister looked disgusted." Gu Ming couldn't help complaining about her sister.
Gu Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Then you have eaten really delicious braised pork! The taste is sweet and fluffy, and it melts in your mouth. It's so delicious that you can't wait to swallow your tongue!"
Speaking of which, she swallowed her saliva and turned to Yan Qiutong: "Aunt Yan, shall we make Dongpo meat for dinner?"
"Dongpo meat?" Yan Qiutong said with a puzzled face, "What kind of dish is that, I've never even heard of it, how can I make it?"
"Have you never heard of the famous Dongpo Pork?" Gu Ye's eyes widened, and when he saw his grandfather who was following the old General Chu, he shook his head and said that he didn't know, so he sighed, "It's a pity, we can't find it so delicious. bosom friend, alas"
"Sister, have you ever eaten Dongpo meat? Do you know how to make it?" Gu Ming turned into a foodie and asked impatiently.
"Wait a second." Gu Ye went back to his room and pulled out a recipe from a pile of books in the space. In her previous life, she had collected all the valuable books in the Beijing library into the space. Who made her pay more attention to the inheritance? These books have not been used in the past life, so try to make full use of their value in this life.
Gu Ye turned to the page of Dongpo's meat illustration, copied a copy in scribbled font, and returned to the main room with great interest. She got on the kang again, patted the copied recipe on the kang table, and said to Yan Qiutong: "This is the recipe I got by accident, you can think about it."
Yan Qiutong took the recipe and looked at it seriously. She frowned and said softly, "Girl, where did you get this recipe from? There are a lot of typos in it, and there are some words that I don't recognize."
Gu Ye grabbed the piece of paper with black lines all over his head, thinking to himself, "Oops, I forgot that people in this world use traditional Chinese characters!" She cleared her throat and patiently explained the ingredients, steps and heat to Yan Qiutong. As the saying goes, everything is perfect. Yan Qiutong has deep knowledge in cooking. With a little help from Gu Ye, she immediately understood the true meaning of "Dongpo Pork".
Gu Xiao purchased a half-fan pig in the town, and Yan Qiutong cut the best pork belly from the top and began to cook "Dongpo Pork". Master Gu Xiao and three were in the room sorting out the gifts from the Jun family and Chu family.
Most of the gifts for Gu Ye are jewelry and clothing. In addition to the additions her grandfather bought for her in Yancheng, there are only six sets of winter dresses. There are several pieces of material suitable for little girls to make clothes. Coupled with the clothes for grandpa and brother, Gu Ye felt that he could open a small cloth shop.
Originally, the large wooden box with only a shallow layer of clothes was full, and there were no clothes in it. Gu Ye had no choice but to wrap some clothes in furskin and pile them up at the end of the kang.
There are more than 20 pieces of beads, hairpins, earrings and bracelets suitable for little girls. Gu Ye wrapped it in a handkerchief and stuffed it into the innermost part of the box. For a little girl in the mountains, when she gets married, it is quite decent to have three silver hairpins, silver lilacs, and silver bracelets with her. And most of them are hollow, worth a few taels at most.
Her jewelry, whichever one she took out, was no less than a few dozen taels of silver, which was too eye-catching. She has never been a high-profile person, especially when it comes to clothes, it's good to be comfortable.
In the end, the tonics and medicinal materials that gave her a headache and were very expensive were sorted out. After eating for many days, how come there is no less? With so many supplements, when will you be able to eat them all? When Gu Xiao came in, what he saw was his little granddaughter, worried about a pile of supplements.
"You, you really don't know how to be blessed. Such precious supplements, if others have sharpened their heads, they may not be able to get the same. You are good, I wish you could throw all these supplements away!" Gu Xiao put these supplements, all Put it in the small cabinet above Gu Yekang's head.
Only half of the cabinet was full. He frowned and said to himself: "It seems that Gu Qiang has to make a few more cabinets and cages, or else they will be piled up on the kang, what does it look like?"
As soon as he looked up, he saw his little granddaughter sneaking out, hurriedly said: "Stop, what do you want to eat for the afternoon supplements? Bird's nest? Ginseng? Ganoderma lucidum? Honeysuckle? Or snow clams?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Gu Ye raised his mouth and said in a stern voice, "Let's eat sweet-scented osmanthus and white fungus stewed with snow clams? Put more rock sugar." In autumn, Gu Ye picked a lot of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus. Add to supplements, the taste should be able to taste a little better. Her most urgent desire now is to make supplements into delicious dishes!
After tidying up the house, Gu Ye walked into the yard and saw a row of dried game hanging under the eaves, and asked, "Aunt Yan, are these game sent by Uncle Zhang? What he caught in more than a month would not be possible. Are they all brought to our house?"
Yan Qiutong's voice came from the kitchen: "Zhang Hu heard that you were ill, so he specially dried the pheasants and sent them here, saying they were to make up your body. When you were not at home, he knocked on the door every time. , put the game down and leave, don't even give me a chance to refuse"
"Oh, when the Dongpo meat is made, I will give Uncle Zhang a bowl and take a look at Brother Lihu's feet." Gu Ye knew that Uncle Zhang was thanking them for helping Zhang Lihu heal his feet.
"We've been away for more than a month, is there anything new in the village?" Gu Ye grabbed a handful of pine nuts and sat at the door of the kitchen, nibbling like a little squirrel.
Yan Qiutong thought for a while and said: "Doctor Wu at the entrance of the village treated the wealthy owner of Xitou Village, and the more he treated the disease, the more serious it was. Before it was delivered to the town, the people would be gone. The doctor in the town said that he used the wrong taste. Medicine. That medicine is poisonous because of improper processing. Not only can it not cure diseases, but long-term use can lead to death.
The son of the wealthy owner of Xitou Village brought a lot of people, beat Dr. Wu, and asked him to accompany him for one hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, he will be arrested and sent to the official, and Dr. Wu will scrape together the money, and barely collect the money. The people in Xitou Village are ruthless enough, so Wu Danggui can't get off the kang now. His daughter-in-law cried all day, she would drag her to complain when she saw her, and the daughter-in-law in the village would hide when she saw her. "
Gu Ye didn't have a good impression of these two couples, so he said casually: "Many medicinal materials are poisonous in themselves, and only when they are processed can they become good medicines for curing diseases and saving people. Doctor Wu is so old, it is impossible to not even know this. ?"
Yan Qiutong hesitated for a moment, came out of the kitchen, and said in a low voice: "Wu Angelica's mother-in-law is still saying that Wu Angelica's method of concocting the medicinal herbs was learned from you. She said that you deliberately let them learn the wrong way. Medicine methods, vicious thoughts, in short, she ruins your reputation, girl!"
"I learned it from me? I want to ask him, have you done the apprenticeship ceremony? Have you paid the apprentice fee? I said that before going to the border gate, the mother-in-law always came to our house when she had nothing to do. It turned out to be stealing. Teacher. Hmph, is it as simple as they think about pharmacy, and they can learn it with just a few glances? Are you suffering from the consequences now?" Gu Ye's face was full of disdain.
Yan Qiutong smiled slightly and said: "Isn't it! Now that Wu Danggui is lying on the kang, he has used all the valuables in the family to pay off the debt, and he also owes a whole bunch of debts. He killed people, who would dare to ask him to cure them. sick?"
"Don't worry, they won't starve to death! The surnamed Wu can concoct a few simple medicinal herbs, and the money he earns every month is enough for them to live. It's a pity that they are not satisfied, otherwise they will end up in such a situation?" Gu Ye eats After finishing the pine nuts in her hand, she walked into the kitchen, and with her sharper sense of taste than ordinary people, instructed Aunt Yan to cook supplements.
A pot of wolfberry and white fungus stewed with snow clams, the color and flavor are complete. With Aunt Yan around, Gu Ye no longer rejects supplements. She also joked: "Aunt Yan, in the future, let's partner up to open a pharmacy shop in the capital, and the business will definitely be good!"
Yan Qiutong said with a smile: "I am a servant girl bought by the girl. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and say whether to cooperate or not? The girl wants to open a medicated food shop, and the servant girl will help you in charge of the kitchen. You can't go wrong!"
"Aunt Yan, we are a family now, we are not allowed to talk about slaves and maids, I sound awkward." Although Aunt Yan's origin is a bit strange, but Gu Ye did not perceive any malice from her, but there was something that made people feel Want to feel close. Aunt Yan's excellent cooking skills have already conquered the heart of her snack foodie. Since Aunt Yan supported her sick body to make her first meal, Gu Ye developed a deep sense of identification with her.
The corner of Yan Qiutong's mouth raised a smile, and there was a faintly moved look in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Okay, I won't call myself a slave in the future! The girl is going to the capital to develop? There is a girl with an extraordinary sense of taste, plus my With our craftsmanship, we will definitely be able to make the medicated food store bigger and bigger!"
