037 Thirteen Fragrances

Su Yujin squinted her eyes for a long time before speaking, "Mother Liu's body is generally quite healthy, but her body is damp and hot. She has to pay attention to her diet, otherwise she will easily develop eczema pimples."

"Besides, Mama Liu's lungs are not good, so she needs to take more care of herself on weekdays. Now that the red pears are coming down, Mama Liu will stew more red pears with rock sugar to eat to nourish her lungs. These things are not that important at all. As for Mama Liu,

The anger is a bit strong..."

"I think it's no longer enough to maintain my health through normal meals. It's better to use acupuncture to lower the liver fire. Otherwise, it will easily cause other diseases."

Su Yujin has excellent medical skills. When Mother Liu heard this, she nodded hurriedly again, "Then just listen to the girl."

Then he felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm really bothering the girl."

After all, she is a servant, and Su Yujin is the master.

"It's not a bother. Since you are following me on weekdays, you are a family, so there is no need to say polite words." Su Yujin laughed, and asked Mother Liu to lie down on the bed, and then applied acupuncture on her back.

After showing off her skills, Su Yujin was satisfied. Mother Liu also felt refreshed and thanked Su Yujin repeatedly.

Watching mugwort made me feel itchy, and I was eager to try it.

So Su Yujin once again got addicted to being a top addict.

After finishing the work, he happily put away the needles carefully.

Because she was in a good mood, Su Yujin went to the kitchen at noon and made a dish of scallion chicken.

The whole chicken is cooked and shredded, served with a sauce made of salt, sugar, scallion oil, soy sauce, etc., and sprinkled with some chives, coriander and white sesame seeds. The chicken tastes tender and smooth, with a rich flavor.

At noon, I ate half a bowl of rice again.

When the west was sinking in the afternoon, Shuangye came and said that a salesman had come to the shop, selling thirteen incense. It smelled of good quality, so he came to ask Su Yujin if he wanted to buy some.

The so-called Thirteen Fragrances are made from a variety of seasonings that are matched according to their specific gravity, dried and ground into powder, sealed and stored. When used, the powder is poured directly into the dish. The flavor is rich and unique, and is very popular among people.

There are many recipes for thirteen spices. If broken down, there are recipes for cooking, stewing meat, and making soups. However, most of those sold on the market are based on peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, kaempferol, tangerine peel, nutmeg,

A general formula made from dried ginger, Amomum villosum, Angelica dahurica, cloves, woody incense, cumin, galangal, etc.

This recipe can be said to be versatile.

But the disadvantage of being versatile is that it goes with everything, so nothing stands out.

Ordinary people like to use thirteen spices like this when cooking to avoid making mistakes. However, Su Yujin is good at cooking and adapts to local conditions when cooking, so she doesn't like such general seasonings.

"Reply to the other party and say that we make our own ingredients and don't need these thirteen incense." Su Yujin was not interested in these thirteen incense.

"That's what the maid originally said, but the man said that his Thirteen Incenses are different from the others. The girl will know it when she goes to see it." Shuangye replied, "The maid also saw that the man was very sure about this.

Just come back and talk to the girl."

The unique thirteen fragrances?

Su Yujin blinked, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "You go back first, I will go there later."

Go take a look and see what kind of Thirteen Incenses are out there.

When Shuangye went out, Su Yujin asked Ai Cao to get a thicker coat to change into, and then went to Su Ji.

The salesman was standing at the door of Su Ji, with bamboo baskets hanging on both ends of the pole at his feet. The bamboo baskets were tightly wrapped in oil paper, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

But even so, Su Yujin still smelled the strong smell of seasoning coming from the oil paper.

When the salesman saw Su Yujin approaching, he hurriedly bent down and bowed, "This is Su Ji's shopkeeper, Miss Su. My name is Zeng Dayong, and my master and I specialize in selling thirteen incense."

It was freezing cold. Su Yujin invited people to Su Ji's shop. After he sat down, he said, "Just now, the waiter said that the Thirteen Incenses that I brought are different from others, but I don't know what the difference is."

.”

As soon as he said this, Zeng Dayong immediately raised his chin, "I'm not bragging. The thirteen incense I sell, absolutely no one on the market can make it. This is my master's top-secret recipe, whether it's stew or meat."

When you put the thirteen incense in the fried meat, it will definitely be fragrant for thirteen miles!"

"The business of Suji opened by Miss Su is very good now, and people are coming and going very lively. It is already good. If you use the Thirteen Incense I sell again, I guarantee that the taste will be improved to a higher level, and the money will be earned again."

It’s doubled.”

He talked for a long time with his eyebrows flying and foaming at the mouth. Seeing that Su Yujin seemed to be lacking in interest, Zeng Dayong coughed slightly, "It's a thousand words, why don't you see it with your own eyes? Miss Su, look at us ten

Three fragrances?”

After saying that, Zeng Dayong took some thirteen incense from the bamboo basket, put it on a small piece of oil paper, and asked Su Yujin to take a look, "Miss Su, smell it, is this fragrance?"

Su Yujin brought the oiled paper over and carefully looked at the powder of Thirteen Incense.

It feels delicate and does not stick to your hands, which means that it has been ground finely enough, passed through the sieve, and stir-fried dry enough without moisture return. Then put it under your nose and smell the smell...

Su Yujin was stunned for a moment, but was a little unsure, and then smelled it again.

This is indeed a bit different from the ordinary version of Thirteen Incense.

But the Thirteen Incense versions are not the same, and even due to personal preference, even if the uses are the same, the ingredients are different, but this Thirteen Incense is too different.

Su Yujin glanced at Zeng Dayong, "Did you make these thirteen incense yourself?"

"It's my master's recipe. We, master and apprentice, grind it ourselves!" Zeng Dayong said with a smile, "When Miss Su smelled this, she thought the fragrance was very good."

"Indeed." Su Yujin said, "It contains some tangerine peel and hawthorn that are not commonly used in Shisan Xiang. The most important thing is that it has added glutinous rice flour."

Zeng Dayong was stunned on the spot, and after a while he opened his mouth, "How does Miss Su know?"

"The flavor of glutinous rice flour is rich and you can smell it immediately. It is not difficult to distinguish." Su Yujin said with a smile, "It's just that it is quite troublesome to make glutinous rice flour. Not many people know the production method, so ordinary people don't know it."

"You just said that these thirteen incense were made by your master. Presumably this glutinous rice flour was also made by your master. Since your master has this kind of craftsmanship, why did he only make these thirteen incense for sale?"

To be able to make glutinous rice flour is an unusual skill, but to only make thirteen incense that needs to be sold on the street is really an inconvenience.

Or maybe he was originally a master chef and wanted to live a life of seclusion?

Su Yujin was really curious.

"This... is an old story, it's really hard to talk about." Zeng Dayong scratched his head in embarrassment.
