Xing Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard that when Miss Chu went to help Doctor Hu, she had an argument with a doctor."
Feng Shuo's face darkened instantly: "What's going on?"
Xing Yao hurriedly told the story about the conflict between the female doctor named An and Jiang Yanyi.
Feng Shuo had originally planned to accompany Jiang Yanyi back to the palace this afternoon. After spending the whole morning dealing with military affairs, he now had plenty of time.
After listening to Xing Yao's explanation of the whole thing, he didn't even bother to eat. He asked Xing Yao to take the soup bowl with him and rode out of the barracks.
Even if he didn't explain it specifically, the people under him would still keep an eye on Jiang Yanyi's movements. Feng Shuo easily asked the scouts about Jiang Yanyi's whereabouts.
*****
When Jiang Yanyi saw all kinds of fresh seafood in the inn's kitchen and thought about the delicious food that could be made, the depression in his heart subsided a lot.
This place is close to the sea, and although ingredients such as sea cucumbers and abalone are rare, they are not as rare as in the northern provinces.
Looking at these ingredients, rather than seafood hotpot, Jiang Yanyi now wants to make a famous online dish of later generations - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Although she had never made this kind of dish with expensive ingredients in her previous life, she had learned about the recipe out of curiosity.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall uses a lot of ingredients, but the heat and steaming time are not a problem for this dish. After all, I have been working as a chef for a long time and I know the heat and time well.
The difficulty lies in the early stage processing of various ingredients. Just the delivery requires special attention. Some ingredients need to be soaked in oil, and some need to be soaked in water.
Before putting them together and sealing them in a jar for steaming, some ingredients have to be steamed first, some have to be stir-fried first, and some have to be deep-fried first. The process is complicated and very challenging.
How to ship goods Jiang Yanyi learned a lot from Chef Li and Chef Yao. He knew that shark fins, sea cucumbers, fish lips, and tendons must be soaked in water and cannot be stained with any oil, while fish maws must be soaked in oil separately to retain their delicious taste to the greatest extent.
Nowadays, due to the war, there are few guests staying in the inn, and the kitchen is very quiet, so the pots and pans are used without any problem.
Jiang Yanyi found a clean porcelain basin and put all the ingredients in it. She put pork bones and scallops in the pot to make broth, and then started to process the chicken, duck, pig's trotters and lamb elbows. The chef of the inn had processed these ingredients roughly beforehand, so she only needed to check whether the details were clean, and then process them carefully according to her own requirements.
After killing the whole chicken and duck, cut off the parts above the neck and the claws, and chopped them into small pieces. The tips of the plucked pig's trotters looked so pink and tender that Jiang Yanyi was a little hesitant to bring himself to cut them.
After these ingredients are processed, put them in the pot and blanch them first. After removing the blood, blanch them again. This time, add a spoonful of shochu to remove the fishy smell.
After blanching, take out and put into a colander. Add oil to the pot and heat it to 70% hot. First, sauté the ginger and garlic. After the aroma comes out, add the blanched chicken, duck, lamb elbow, pig's trotter, duck gizzards, and pork stomach into the pot and stir-fry. Add sugar to enhance the flavor, drizzle with soy sauce to adjust the color, and finally add a spoonful of wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. Pour in the broth made from pork bones and cook for a quarter of an hour.
The soup cooked here will be the soup base for stewing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall later.
Before the shark fin and abalone are cooked, they must be steamed with spring onions and ginger in a steamer until the abalone is soft. When the shark fin is steamed, pork fat must be placed on the fin. The texture of the shark fin itself is similar to vermicelli. When the pork fat is steamed, a lot of oil will flow out of the shark fin, which is not easy to evaporate and can also increase the fragrance of the shark fin.
Pigeon eggs, winter bamboo shoots and fish maws need to be fried in lard and then cooked together in a jar.
A pot of authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has almost no aroma during the cooking process. The rich aroma will waft out only when the pot is opened. Therefore, special attention is paid to the sealing of the pot.
Jiang Yanyi couldn't find a suitable jar for a while, but thinking that he would have to add a lot of liquor when stewing it later, he asked the innkeeper to give him an empty wine jar with good sealing properties.
The shopkeeper found a jar of eighteen-year-old wine for Jiang Yanyi. After Jiang Yanyi washed the jar, he could still smell the intoxicating aroma of the wine because the jar had been filled with wine all year round.
She placed the previously cooked chicken, duck and other ingredients at the bottom of the wine jar, and placed shark fin, abalone and other ingredients on top. After pouring in the soup, she sealed the jar with lotus leaves and tied the edges with a thin thread. Finally, she placed a bowl upside down on the jar and placed it in a large steamer to stew.
Stewing in water is a well-known cooking method of Fujian cuisine. The excellent sealing property can retain the aroma of the ingredients to the greatest extent during stewing, and the food is heated evenly in the steamer. The soup is more delicious than that stewed over an open fire. The soup is clear and not turbid at all.
Just as he cooked the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Jiang Yanyi heard that Feng Shuo was coming.
She didn't go out to greet him, but waited in the kitchen for Feng Shuo to come to her.
Soon, the waiter's fearful voice rang out from outside the kitchen: "Greetings...Greetings to the prince..."
Feng Shuo waved his hand impatiently, and the waiter left as if he had been pardoned.
When Feng Shuo walked into the kitchen, he saw Jiang Yanyi sitting next to the square table inside. When she heard him come in, she didn't even look at him, but lowered her head and continued to pick vegetables.
Is this being ignored
Feng Shuo coughed softly, but Jiang Yanyi still ignored him.
Outside the kitchen door, Huo Jianjia, Chenyu, Yang Xiu and Bing Shao were stealthily clinging to the door frame, thinking they were "peeking" in a very covert way.
Chen Yu said angrily, "Why is your Majesty just coughing? You are trying to appease the master!"
"Cough." This time the light cough came from outside the door. Several people turned around and saw Xing Yao standing behind them with a stern face.
Chenyu quickly pulled Huo Jianjia away. Yang Xiu and Bing Shao, two grown men, were not good at eavesdropping and were simply dragged along by Chenyu to make up the numbers. As soon as Chenyu and Huo Jianjia left, the two of them also quickly left.
After Xing Yao closed the door for his master, he took out two balls of cotton and stuffed them into his ears.
The ancients said, "Don't listen to anything that is not appropriate."
In order to avoid hearing any inappropriate remarks and being punished by his own prince, he was very self-conscious.
***
The noise outside the house did not distract Feng Shuo from his thoughts. He frowned and looked at Jiang Yanyi for a while, but finally couldn't stand the silence anymore and said, "What happened? Why did you leave without telling me?"
Jiang Yanyi still ignored him.
Feng Shuo endured it again and again, frowned and said: "Speak."
Jiang Yanyi glanced at him sideways, then quickly looked away and continued to pick vegetables.
Feng Shuo's patience ran out. He took a step forward and grabbed one of her fair wrists. He squatted down, almost at eye level with her. His tone was quite vicious, but if you listened carefully, you could tell he was at a loss: "Why don't you pay attention to me!"
Jiang Yanyi raised her eyes and met his gaze. She stared at him for a moment before saying, "Take off your clothes."
Feng Shuo was puzzled: "What?"
What Xing Yao relayed to him was that Jiang Yanyi had an argument with a female doctor over treatment methods. Now that female doctor had packed up and left, Jiang Yanyi also left the barracks in anger.
He came over and Jiang Yanyi was inexplicably angry with him. Now he suddenly made such a request. Feng Shuo was really confused.
But Jiang Yanyi just stared at him and repeated what he had just said: "Take off your clothes."
This time Feng Shuo didn't hesitate and took off his shirt in no time.
He was a typical person who looked thin when dressed, but had muscles when undressed. After removing his armor and the dark red tights, his muscular upper body was exposed directly in front of Jiang Yanyi, with tendons and muscles on his arms, full of explosive power.
Jiang Yanyi's attention was not on his figure at all. It was the first time that she saw so clearly the huge scar on Feng Shuo's body that ran across his entire back. Even though the scar had now turned into a dragon tattoo, a closer look could still reveal the shape of the wound caused by the axe that had split his back, which was really terrifying.
Jiang Yanyi covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes slightly red.
Feng Shuo turned his head slightly to look at her: "Did you get scared?"
He curled the corners of his lips in self-mockery, but there was some regret in his expression: "I was afraid of scaring you at the beginning, so I asked someone to cover it with a tattoo."
He touched the dragon head tattoo on his shoulder blade and said to Jiang Yanyi, "This tooth mark was left by you."
He asked the tattoo artist to tattoo a dragon's tooth based on the tooth mark left by Jiang Yanyi.
Although he was a little embarrassed to talk about this thought, when the tooth mark and the tattoo would remain on his body forever, he still felt a secret sense of satisfaction in his heart, which he himself found ridiculous.
It seemed as if something was engraved into my body.
No matter how angry Jiang Yanyi was with him before, it was gone now, and he only felt a sore nose.
There was a new wound on Feng Shuo's left chest. The wound had already scabbed over, but it was still easy to see how dangerous it was at the time.
Jiang Yanyi touched it gently with her hand and asked him with tears in her eyes: "How did you get hurt? Does it still hurt?"
Feng Shuo wiped away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips. "Half a month ago, Minghan attacked Hengzhou with the wheel tactics. I didn't sleep for several days and nights. I was careless on the battlefield and got stabbed. Don't worry, it didn't hurt much at the time. It was just like being bitten by an ant."
The more he said this, the sadder Jiang Yanyi felt.
Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield and you can lose your life if you are not careful.
No matter how powerful Feng Shuo is, he is still a living person and he will always get exhausted sometimes.
Jiang Yanyi choked up and tears started to fall like beads from a broken string.
As soon as he thought about the fact that he almost couldn't see him, all the jealousy he felt when he found out that An Suqiu helped him change the medicine was forgotten.
She cried like this, but Feng Shuo panicked and helped wipe her tears clumsily, "Don't cry, I really don't feel any pain."
Jiang Yanyi sniffed and said, "I'm not going back to Xizhou. I'll stay in Hengzhou. I'll make sure you eat and sleep on time. You can't let this war end before you exhaust yourself."
Feng Shuo felt mixed emotions, but he said, "Don't mess around. How dangerous is Hengzhou?"
Jiang Yanyi gently rubbed the wound on his chest with her hands, and after a moment, she put her lips on it. When she looked up again, her eyes were red. "I'm not afraid of danger, I'm just afraid that something will happen to you. This is not nonsense. Don't worry, since I have decided to stay, I will definitely think of a perfect plan. If something unexpected happens, I will never become a burden to you."
Feng Shuo felt as if something was pulling his chest hard, but at the same time a force surged into his limbs and bones, making him feel that all the hardships he had experienced in the past six months were nothing.
He naturally knew Jiang Yanyi's abilities. If she stayed in Hengzhou, she would definitely have to do more than just take care of him.
But he also felt sorry for her and worried about her, so he didn't want her to stay here and suffer with him.
Feng Shuo tightened his arms and held the man in his arms: "Ayi, how many good things did I do in my last life that God let me meet you in this life?"
Jiang Yanyi leaned her head against his chest and poked his chest lightly with her fingers: "Since you know this, you can only be good to me from now on."
Feng Shuo was touched and found her little girls' thoughts so cute and funny that he asked, "When has the king not been like this?"
Jiang Yanyi snorted: "You can't look at other women more."
This was the first time that Feng Shuo witnessed Jiang Yanyi's jealous nature. He felt that the way she bargained with him was very different from the calm and intelligent female shopkeeper in her daily business. This contrast was really very likable.
He couldn't help but pinch her soft and smooth little face: "There is not even a female bird around me, where can I go to see other women."
Jiang Yanyi then said, "Isn't there a female doctor who has been responsible for helping you boil and change the medicine?"
Feng Shuo frowned: "Female doctor?"
After a little thought, he understood why Jiang Yanyi was so angry today, and even laughed out loud: "Who told you that? I don't know about the decoction, but do you really think that strangers can enter my military tent at will? Xing Yao has always been responsible for changing the medicine, and the medicine delivered by the military doctor every day is also brought in by the personal guards at the door of the military tent, and is only taken after the silver needle is tested for poison. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know who the military doctor gave the job of decoction and delivery to."
What made Jiang Yanyi feel uncomfortable from the very beginning was that An Suqiu helped Feng Shuo change the dressing. When she thought that the woman not only saw Feng Shuo shirtless, but might have even touched him when changing the dressing, she felt aggrieved.
After listening to Feng Shuo's explanation, Jiang Yanyi wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She was extremely embarrassed, but Feng Shuo's bad nature broke out. He carried her to sit on the table, and grasped her chin with one hand to force her to look up and look at him.
The desire for her and the desire to possess her in his eyes were never concealed, like a wildfire ready to spread all over the place.
He kissed Jiang Yanyi's plump lips, and as soon as he touched her, his voice became magnetic and sticky: "No matter how powerful I am, I can't control other people's thoughts. If you take your anger out on me because of this, then it's your fault, Yi."
"It should be punished."
The last syllable of the last word dissipated between their lips and teeth.
The dry wood in the stove was burning vigorously, casting a glow of fire on the wall behind the stove. The steamer in the big pot was emitting steam, and the water on the edge of the pot was bubbling. The sound of cicadas chirping outside the house covered up the faint whimpering sounds in the kitchen.
Considering the place, Feng Shuo didn't do anything rash and ended the kiss when Jiang Yanyi softened.
He pressed his lips against Jiang Yanyi's temples and asked, "What's in the steamer?"
Jiang Yanyi broke free from his hand and stood up, straightening her clothes that were torn by him. Every time they kissed, she was always the one who ended up with her clothes in disarray, while Feng Shuo was neatly dressed.
She glared at the culprit and said, "A pot of mixed ingredients, ready to make something delicious for Jianjia and the others."
After hearing what she said, Feng Shuo didn't worry about the dishes in the steamer. In his opinion, could the shrimp and mushroom soup that Jiang Yanyi prepared for others be as delicious as the one she prepared for him
So when Jiang Yanyi told him that he could try it later, Feng Shuo refused righteously: "I brought the soup you cooked with me, I can just heat it up and eat it later."
Jiang Yanyi seemed a little conflicted, but she respected Feng Shuo's decision and nodded, "Okay."
When the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish was being prepared, Feng Shuo finally realized what stupid things he had said.
The author has something to say: Feng Hanhan: I take back what I said just now, I want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
