Chapter 18 Aunt Liu's Cooking Skills

Tang Zangyue felt warmth rising in her heart.

She knew that it was the emotion left by the original owner, just like caring for the Xiao family and thinking about the Xiao family at all times. It was all due to the original owner's strong feelings.

That's all if she doesn't resent it.

She walked over quietly and said with a smile: "You just keep the good stuff to yourself and eat it yourself? Why don't you give it to grandma?"

Sister Ling had a lump in her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, she muttered an unclear "um" and stretched out her little hand towards her.

She spread her hands, and Sister Ling dropped the thorn bubbles full of them into her palm.

She knew what she said--Grandma, here.

Tang Zangyue endured the sourness, tasted a few, and smiled back, "It's delicious."

At night, Xiao Yi came to invite Tang Zang Yue and borrowed Xiao Zhong Lu's help.

I wanted Xiao Zhonglu to follow me on patrol, in case the thieves would attack again.

Tang Zangyue raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this inappropriate? After all, we are prisoners being escorted and we are guilty."

"According to the situation, we don't have enough manpower. If the thieves take advantage of us and attack a second time, it will be a disgrace to the court. Besides, we know Brother Lu's ability. With his help, we can be much more relaxed."

The other party has said so, can Tang Zangyue still respond?

On the second day, Xiao Zhonglu returned to the team with a tired look.

When Tang Zangyue wanted to use money to bribe the government servant Xiao Yi to go purchase, the latter shook his head and refused.

Xiao Yi said enthusiastically: "Brother Lu is indeed a general. The physical skills he taught us last night were enough to benefit us a lot. Aunt Tang, please take these back as soon as possible."

Tang Zangyue didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu has been practicing since childhood. If you are young and have another set of physical skills, you will benefit more. It's a pity..."

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and he leaned into Tang Zangyue's ear and whispered: "After this trip, can Aunt Tang accept a nephew from my family..."

Tang Zangyue raised her hand to stop her, "Everyone has seen what the Xiao family has gone through. I have no other lofty ambitions. I just hope that my family will be safe."

Who knows if there is anyone in this line of government officials who has the eyes and ears of Hunjun? She obviously tries to keep a low profile when doing things. Although she makes a big purchase at night, it only lasts for a few days and will not arouse suspicion from above.

The reason why a foolish king loses his country is not only because of cataracts, but also because he is prone to arrogance.

Even if he sent someone to watch him on the way to exile, he wouldn't be able to get on the stage. He wasn't a very capable person, otherwise the Xiao family wouldn't have suffered as many casualties as in the original plot.

That's why she dared to make large purchases on the road of exile, and she dared to exchange banknotes for cash.

Last night, she reached another deal with the young man. She also told the young man that in addition to grain crops, she would also collect grain seeds and medicinal seeds, and finally some cheap medicinal materials.

She didn't ask for expensive medicinal materials. After all, although the General's Mansion's property looked powerful, it was now a dead asset with no income. Every penny spent was worth a penny, so she had to plan accordingly.

After collecting the things collected by Housheng, Tang Zangyue went to the cash prepared by Shiwu and put it into the space.

You can do a lot of things behind the scenes, but it's better to keep a low profile publicly.

Xiao Yi refused in return, but the latter was not upset and just said: "Aunt Tang, please think about it again." He didn't embarrass her and let her go.

Tang Zangyue brought Yuechun to the town. First, she brought eggs to visit the wounded, added eggs to Ya Zhi and Xiao Zhongli, said a few personal words, and then went to the market to make purchases.

The market will be bustling for three days before it ends. Tang Zangyue is not in a hurry to buy ingredients, but looks at the seasonings first.

She originally wanted to make spicy dishes that were easy to preserve and appetizing, but found that there were no red peppers in ancient times, and the substitute was dogwood.

Cornus officinalis is more bitter than bitter melon and not as spicy as chili peppers, so it is not really a good seasoning for spicy dishes.

She could only settle for the next best thing and focus on pickled radishes and pickled cucumbers.

As for miso, she is not going to buy it at the market.

After eating in restaurants several times, she gained some experience.

In ancient times, recipes were taken very seriously. Even if a cook accepted an apprentice, he would avoid the apprentice when cooking. In many cases, the apprentice had to learn it on his own. In this way, it was hidden and not open to the public. It was difficult to tell which one actually had the skills from the same recipe.

Due to his talent in cooking, ancient food is not that surprising.

On the contrary, I remember that the tributes given by the palace and the chef in the imperial kitchen were really quite capable.

She has a lot of recipes in her mind. Since she is a doctor and has to learn medicinal diet, she naturally has to be quite particular about her cooking skills. She has learned a lot of dishes online. Then she can let Aunt Liu, who is quite talented in cooking, try them.

If not, go to the market to buy miso.

Radishes and cucumbers were very cheap, but the seasonings she bought were surprisingly expensive. Then there were some things for brewing medicinal herbs and moxibustion needles.

Returning to the team, she told Aunt Liu about Xiao Zhongli's situation, and then told Aunt Liu about the general method of making miso and pickled radish.

Aunt Liu had a timid temperament when she was young, and she began to forget things as she got older. Fortunately, she entered the General's Mansion, and the original owner did not rub her down, so she was in good health and did not become a drag along the way.

After reading the recipe, Tang Zangyue was a little worried that Aunt Liu would be a drag on her forgetfulness. At the end, she added: "I really don't remember the steps. Don't be brave and ask me more. The Xiao family is no better than before. You get what you pay for. This carrot and cucumber

They cost a lot of money and spices, a waste..."

She wanted to warn Aunt Liu, and she also told other government officials to listen. She exaggerated her words a bit, hoping to make the whole family aware of their situation and know that it was not appropriate to hide the money.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu was so frightened that her hands began to tremble.

"Then, it's up to you, old lady, to take action..."

Tang Zangyue:????

She just wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper and didn't want to do everything herself, so she asked Aunt Liu to take action.

Who knew he could be so unsatisfactory!

Tang Zangyue had no choice but to advise: "Once it's raw, it's twice cooked. Even if your cooking is not as good as expected, everyone can understand, and because of the preciousness of food, they will all finish it. I told you not to waste it, because I want you to stop showing off.

If you forget the steps and ask me, I won’t say anything to you, instead of asking you to hand over the stall to me before you even start..."

Seeing that Aunt Liu still hadn't calmed down, and seemed to be very frightened by her, Tang Zangyue had no choice but to coax Sister Ling, lowering her voice and coaxing Aunt Liu, "Sister Liu..."

"Old, old madam." Aunt Liu's legs were trembling, and her skirt couldn't hide the trembling.

"Call me eldest sister. There is no general's mansion now. We are a family. If I call you sister, you can just call me eldest sister."

"big big big……"

I really don't dare to use the word "sister".

Aunt Liu was so anxious that she almost cried.

Tang Zangyue:......

The original owner doesn't look like that ferocious Yaksha, so why are the younger ones so afraid of her?

The original owner looks like, well, at most she doesn’t have the willow eyebrows of ancient women, but has sword eyebrows flying into the temples, and her face is very heroic. If she is twenty or thirty years younger, if she is disguised as a man, she will be safe and stand on the street. She is a handsome man.

appearance.

It's a pity that he is old and has a full head of white hair. He is not as soft as a woman or as heroic as a man. He looks, well, a bit fierce indeed.

"Okay, I won't force you, just do as I say. If you can't do it, don't show off."

Aunt Liu took a deep breath and ran to get busy.
