Chapter 136 Forgot
Nianfu's two favorite claws are Sichuan-style pickled pepper crystal chicken feet, and the second is the Cantonese-style soy sauce royal chicken feet she made last time.
The main reason why the chicken feet with soy sauce is delicious is that the chicken feet are first fried at high temperature to make the chicken skin bubble, and then the soy sauce made from chicken soup is poured over the fried chicken feet for steaming.
It is made so that the tough and blistered chicken skin can fully absorb the fragrant and delicious sauce and become soft again, so that you can get delicious chicken feet that are both soft and delicious.
"I can only give you a rough idea of how to make this sauce. I'll let them study it themselves."
Ouyang Kang wrote as fast as he could and nodded, "That's enough. Could you please tell me how to make those crystal chicken feet?" It sounded delicious.
Nianfu's eyes lit up, "When it comes to pickled pepper chicken feet, it's a different style. It's crispy and spicy. If you compare soy sauce chicken feet to a gentle woman with a charming appearance, then pickled pepper chicken feet are definitely the best.
A spicy girl who looks simple but is hot on the inside. It’s actually better to be that chicken claw
Simple, just wash the chicken feet and soak them in the blood, then add salt, pepper and ginger to the boiling water and boil for a while, then take it out and rinse it with cold water, then put it into the cold boiling water with pepper and pickled pepper for half a day, and then take it out.
Come on, the taste is sour, spicy, numb and fragrant..."
Nianfu couldn't speak any more and swallowed hard, recalling it very much.
Ouyang Kang couldn't stand it anymore, "Then let's make it once. Whatever ingredients you need, buy them!" No matter how expensive it was, he would admit it. Judging from what she said, it must be delicious.
But the girl opposite told him with regret, "I've never seen that pickled pepper before. When I was in Huai'an Town, I saw some peppers from Huang County Cheng's wife, but they were not as spicy as the millet that makes this."
It’s so similar, if I can get this thing someday, I will definitely make it for you and give it a try.”
But he couldn't wait any longer! Ouyang Kang's throat rolled and he asked urgently, "Can't there be other materials to replace it?"
Nian Fu was embarrassed and said, "To make the authentic pickled pepper flavor, the millet must be spicy. Using anything else just doesn't feel authentic."
"Then you should try it first by being unauthentic." Young Master Ouyang was very sad. It's better than losing your appetite by half.
Nian Fu didn't dare to agree immediately, "Then I'll go to Bei City to look for it tomorrow to see if there are any substitute materials."
That's pretty much it. However, Ouyang Kang suddenly remembered something and said rather embarrassedly, "Today, Mr. Su heard that Yaozu and the others came to our house for dinner that day. He said that he would also bring his friends to sit there.
Sit. I think we have moved.
We haven’t served wine properly, so why not take advantage of this time and invite them too? It’s just that I may have to work hard for you then. But don’t go to too much trouble, just get some of those white jade chicken feet you just mentioned. Anyway, this is the condition we have
, and there’s no need to make a fuss about it.”
Does anyone want to come and eat for free? Nianfu raised his chin and snorted softly, "You can come and eat for free if you want. Tell them, they have to give gifts!"
"Of course." Ouyang Kang had already thought about it, and let Guan Yaozu take care of the gift-giving. Anyway, he is thick-skinned, thick-skinned, and popular. If not him, who can we leave this kind of thing to? Besides, those young men from the Imperial College
Everyone is rich or noble, so why should we give them an advantage?
It's just that if you want to treat guests, you have to have a decent place.
Ouyang Kang planned to take this opportunity to tidy up the two-story building he currently lives in. He built a separate wall from the stairs on the left, with a dining room downstairs and a living room upstairs, making it look independent and decent.
But Nianfu disagreed, "Although our building is a bit empty, there will always be people coming to live in the future. For example, new servants, or guest rooms, etc. You can use half of it as a living room.
Not to mention the people coming and going, if someone eating down there drinks too much and vomits all over the floor, then the entire floor will be uninhabitable.
People are here. And eating must be greasy. Autumn and winter are fine, but in summer there will be more mosquitoes? In my opinion, it is better to use the demolished corridor in front. It was originally used as a living room and there is enough space.
, it’s easy to clean up. Then build me a bigger kitchen so that I can do my work more conveniently.”
Ouyang Kang walked to the window and frowned as he looked at the house with its doors and windows removed, leaving only the roof and foundation. "Although your idea is reasonable, look at how broken it is. Just replacing the windows would probably cost several hundred dollars."
It’s two pieces of silver, how can you get it all at once?”
Nianfu had an idea, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Just buy a few pieces of cheaper and thicker cloth and hang them as curtains on all sides. Then paint the walls. If you are afraid of the cold, we can paint new ones."
How much does it cost to move two made stoves?"
Ouyang Kang touched his chin and felt that this was very reasonable. Okay, I'll leave this matter to him. Nianfu had been busy for a day and was exhausted. Young Master Ouyang waved his considerate hand and asked her to go back to rest.
Just as he was about to leave, Nianfu suddenly stopped and asked doubtfully, "I just thought there was something wrong. Where is the little bear inkstone you originally placed on the table?"
After this inkstone was given to Ouyang Kang, he cherished it very much and never wanted to use it. It wasn't until he was going to the Imperial College to go to school and had to take a set of stationery with him every day that he took out this little bear inkstone and put it on his desk. But today
Why was it replaced with a white coarse porcelain cup? Nianfu believed that with Ouyang Kang's carefulness, it would not have fallen. Could it be that the little wolf cub did something good?
But this time Nian Fu mistakenly blamed someone. Ouyang Kang put the inkstone away. As for the reason? Ahem, it's a little inconvenient to say.
He vaguely found an excuse to send Nianfu away, but Young Master Ouyang only felt that he was secretly sweating.
After he expressed his acceptance of Zhuang Jin, Zhuang Jin hesitated, pointed to the little bear inkstone on the table and asked, "Can I ask, under this inkstone, does the word "Muzishanren" appear on it?"
Muzishan people? Not Lishan people?
Seeing Ouyang Kang's expression, Zhuang Jin was silent and carefully thought about the words to tell him, "Muzishan was a master of porcelain in the Xiantong period of the previous dynasty, and he was also a famous person. Because he was good at firing, he built his own kiln, specializing in making porcelain.
Make some study utensils. This little bear inkstone has a vivid and natural shape, thick pulp, and natural opening. It is not an ordinary product at first glance. If it really has this signature, it must be an authentic product from Muzishan people."
After a pause, he told Ouyang Kang, "In addition to loving reading, my ancestors also loved collecting. My family once had a fish-shaped inkstone. It seems that it was once a pair with this inkstone, but I don't know where it is now."
Seeing the love and heartache in his eyes, Young Master Ouyang stared at the naive little bear on the table with wide eyes. He endured it for a long time before swallowing the question of how much this thing was worth. He just changed hands and threw this thing away.
The little bear was neatly packed and put away, and locked in a box, which gave me some peace of mind.
He didn't mean to hide it from Nianfu, but he didn't dare to trust Zhuang Jin easily. He wanted to wait until some time later to find an understanding person who could find out the details of the inkstone and how much it was worth, and then give Nianfu a surprise.
Ahem, for laymen like them, what kind of muzi and plums are not important, what is important is the price! But even if this little bear is indeed worth a lot of money, Ouyang Kang has no intention of selling it. This is a blessing.
No matter how much money you give him as your first gift, he won't sell it.
Ouyang Kang found Zhuang Jin at the other end of the room to discuss decoration and entertaining guests. When Nianfu returned to the room, two new little girls came to ask her for their names.
I didn’t think it was so troublesome to recite blessings. What was the original name and what is it now? But the two little girls knelt down with tears, "We finally left the official slave house. Please have mercy on me, girl, and don't dislike us. Yes."
What can't you do? Please punish me, girl, and we will definitely learn from you!"
Uh... Nianfu suddenly remembered that people's sentiments were different in this era. When a slave arrives at a new master's house, renaming is equivalent to redefining his identity, indicating the master's acceptance and approval of the slave. Only those who are ready to resell or give away will be allowed.
Keep your old name.
There was a misunderstanding, and Nian Fu was very embarrassed. He called the people up and said kindly, "I don't dislike you, but I'm just afraid that I'll look bad and make people laugh."
Although these two girls were of extraordinary origin, their country and family were ruined at a young age. They were beaten and scolded in the official slave house, and they had long lost the pomp and grace of official ladies. They were very honest and obedient. After listening, they were busy.
He said, "The girl was joking. The eldest young master said that you will be our master from now on. Even if you call us cats and dogs, we will still be happy."
In this case, Nianfu gave them names. She didn't know who was the fifth-grade and the sixth-grade official lady, so she randomly said to the girl who was slightly shorter, brighter and more likeable, "Then you will be called Xiao Wu from now on."
"Yes." He looked at the taller and more beautiful one next to him and said, "How about your name is Xiaoliu?"
The two little girls finally burst into tears and smiled, responded crisply and sweetly, and hurriedly waited on her to wash up and rest. Being served like this, she was really not used to chanting blessings.
Thinking about her missing father again, she suddenly didn't hate it so much anymore. If that guy named Mu Shaoqin really foolishly brought their mother and daughter together, would she be doing Xiaowu Xiaoliu now?
thing?
From this point of view, it seems that the father also did a good thing.
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, go to sleep.
After a busy day, Nianfu fell asleep quickly and forgot about a very important thing.
But some people haven't forgotten.
In the Lu Mansion, someone was up late at night, working tirelessly to make a crystal scroll that was exactly the same as the one used to recite blessings.
Lu Wenshi came over to take a look worriedly, "Ying'er, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Lu Ying replied without raising her head, "It's okay, Mom. I'll go to bed after finishing this."
Seeing her daughter's busy figure, Lu Wenshi couldn't help, so she had to express her concern and asked, "Has your traitor been found out?"
"No." Finally done, Lu Ying straightened her sore waist, took a bite with chopsticks and tried it. After a while, the expression on her face relaxed.
Lu Wenshi knew that this was the expression her daughter showed when she was satisfied with her food, so she was relieved and wanted to ask a few more questions, "If you can't find the thief, what will happen if someone steals your recipe in the future?"
manage?"
Lu Ying came back to her senses and said in a relaxed mood, "The people around me are all old people, so they won't betray me for a small profit. Maybe it's not necessarily the sister who developed it herself. Besides, she made it
The tools used to make this rice pulp skin are really beyond my imagination.”
Lu Wenshi was a little nervous, "Is that sister really so capable?"
Lu Ying smiled confidently and put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Even if she has some ability, she is just showing off and is not worthy of being my opponent. Mother, don't worry, go and have a rest."
Lu Wenshi looked at her daughter with pride, "Of course my Ah Ying is the best, but don't forget it when I go to the Ouyang family's banquet."
"Okay, I won't forget it, but I have to go out and do some errands first. I'll come back when I'm done."
After sending her mother back to her room, Lu Ying also took a rest, her heart filled with the belief that she would win. Little did she know that her opponent had completely forgotten about her.
