Cao You looked at his satisfied sister, smiled slightly, and left Cao Han's room. At this time, there were servants standing on the left and right of the door of the room. It seemed that his father Cao Yi had arranged it here.
, these two people should follow Cao Han around Bianliang City on weekdays. Cao You looked at the two of them and said, "Dad asked you to come and look after the young lady?"
The two men didn't speak, and one of them nodded.
Cao You said: "From tomorrow on, you don't have to look at Miss."
The other person who had no reaction just now said: "Sir, I don't understand what you mean."
Cao You looked at the speaker and said, "Do you need me to say it again? I say that starting from tomorrow, you can do whatever you want. No matter where the lady goes, she is free. You don't have to follow him."
The servant was not very sensible and said with a serious face: "May I ask, sir, is this your intention or the master's?"
Cao You snorted coldly and said, "What do you think it's my intention? What do you think it's my father's intention?"
The man replied: "If it is the master's wish, the two of us will leave immediately. But if it is the master's wish, I will not obey the order. We will only listen to the master."
Cao You sneered and said, "Oh? Is that so? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Since you don't listen, you have to be tough."
At this time, Cao Han was reading the manuscript written by Lu Yao to him in the room and talking about it with great interest. This is the beginning of a new novel that Lu Yao just had a sudden idea to write. The story is probably about the Three Realms, and also
It is a story between humans, immortals, and demons. Lu Yao felt that Cao Han’s character would not be able to read romance novels. Since she likes martial arts so much, she might as well write a fairy tale.
Give her a novel about love, hate, and hatred, she should like it. More importantly, this novel is the first one that Lu Yao has completed independently since he traveled through time. It is also an original novel. When he wrote it, he was actually in a different mood.
Somewhat uneasy, he was not sure whether Cao Han would like what he had written.
The reality is that Lu Yao is indeed overly worried. Lu Yao is the person Cao Han likes. How can he not like the things of the person he likes?
At this time, Cao Han was completely immersed in the structure of the novel described by Lu Yao. However, what appeared in her mind was not the scene in the fictional world of the novel. Instead, what appeared in her mind was Lu Yao, dressed in white, smiling at her.
If we were to use modern words to describe Cao Han's current state, he would be a nymphomaniac.
However, the loud noise brought Cao Han back to reality. She heard a fierce fight coming from outside the house. Cao Han, who has always been obsessed with martial arts, naturally knew that it was a fight, so she immediately put down the manuscript in her hand and walked out of the room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two people lying on the ground with very painful expressions. It looked like they were both seriously injured.
Cao You, on the other hand, had no dust on his clothes, which meant that he had basically eliminated the two guards without any injuries.
"Brother, what are you..." Cao Han looked at Cao You and didn't know what to say. In fact, Cao You's usual character was not to take action easily. His kung fu was far superior to that of his second brother Cao Ping, but
Cao You once said that he hated using force to solve problems, so he did not take action easily, which caused other people to think that between the two young masters of the Cao family, Cao You valued literature and Cao Ping valued martial arts. But only
Cao Han knew that his eldest brother was by no means inferior to his second brother in martial arts.
Cao You looked at Cao Han who came out and said, "It's none of your business. Go back and read a book carefully. I've already helped you clear away all the people following you."
Cao Han smiled, looked at the two people lying on the ground and said, "You know how powerful my brother is. If you follow me again tomorrow, you should be able to imagine what will happen."
The two servants got up with difficulty and left the scene, apparently going to find Cao Yi.
Cao You comforted his sister and went directly back to his room.
Now that Lu Yao has taken action and he still cares about his sister, he should help these two talents within his ability. Cao You's change in mentality is what caused him to hurt someone just now.
main reason.
When Cao You heard about what Cao Yu did, he wasn't too angry. After all, when he arranged for these two people to follow Cao Han, he didn't let Cao You know about it. Cao You has always loved his sister, and now he is new to Cuju.
During the competition, there was time to rest. After knowing this, it was normal for him to be angry and stand up for his sister. In addition, in the past few days, Cao Yan did not find that his daughter mentioned Lu Yao in front of him, so he also
I did a favor so that these two people no longer have to look at Cao Han.
However, what Cao Yi didn't know was that the reason why Cao Han didn't mention Lu Yao was because Cao Yi gave her the idea. No matter how shrewd Cao Guojiu was, he couldn't defeat his daughter and son who joined forces to deceive him.
Things in the Cao Mansion have come to an end for the time being, but what is Lu Yao doing at this time?
After handing the manuscript for Cao Han to Tangxi, Lu Yao got up and went to his own small warehouse in the kitchen alone to check the quality of the things Tangxi had just bought. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
For Lu Yao, the most critical part is naturally the pot used for shabu-shabu. The first thing Lu Yao checked was this copper pot. It has to be said that according to the current technology and Lu Yao's description, it can be made like this
The copper pot is already very good. The only pity is that this copper pot seems to be unable to make two soup bases, which is the modern mandarin duck pot. However, there is still enough space under the copper pot.
, there should be no need to worry about firepower by then.
Then, Lu Yao went to check the ingredients. The beef and mutton were very fresh, and the quality of the meat was good. If it were eaten tomorrow, the taste should be preserved. Although Lu Yao knew how to slice the mutton.
, but his own knife skills are also relatively limited. It is still impossible to make mutton cut by a modern knife master, so it is very important to go to Zhao Hu's house to hire those two masters. Then there are duck intestines and
Things like hairy tripe and modern hot pot actually require fresh ingredients. That is to say, what you eat on the table are basically the ingredients that come off the day. But it is different now. There are so many duck intestines left today.
And hairy tripes, there may not be such a large amount of these things tomorrow. Thinking of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but have a new idea, thinking about these hairy tripes, brain flowers, duck intestines, etc.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After the hot pot is actually made, can a special store be set up to sell these ingredients?
Finally, Lu Yao turned his attention to the sesame seeds bought from Tangxi. This is the soul of hot pot. Tomorrow these sesame seeds will turn into sesame paste. Lu Yao's mouth watered just thinking about it.
After checking the ingredients, Lu Yao put them away one by one, and then returned to the room. At this time, Tangxi also came back from Cao Mansion after finishing his work. So Lu Yao asked him, and Cao Yu received it.
Reactions after the manuscript.
Tangxi said that Cao You did not do anything strange, he just said that he would give the manuscript to the right person.
After hearing this, Lu Yao nodded with great satisfaction. It was very rare that he and Cao Yu could always understand what the other was thinking instantly.
Then Uncle Fu also came back. It can be said that his trip to Han Mansion took a long time. Lu Yao was also worried, so he called Uncle Fu and asked about the situation. Only then did he know that it was not the Han Mansion.
What happened, but because the Han family was very surprised that he went to Han Mansion to deliver a letter to Lu Yao. It seemed that Uncle Fu's status was relatively high in the eyes of the Han family, and then they even forced Fu Bo to have dinner at their house.
return.
Seeing the different treatment between Uncle Fu and herself, Tang Xi was a little unhappy, thinking that when she went to the Han Mansion before, she didn't even pour herself a glass of water.
Lu Yao naturally noticed Tang Xi's unhappiness, so he asked Tang Xi to wait for him outside the door. Speaking of dinner, Lu Yao looked at the time. It was almost dinner time, and the kitchen was already busy.
So I asked Uncle Fu to bring two bottles of wine to Han's house tomorrow, as a return gift to the Han family. I can't eat their food in vain.
Uncle Fu responded and went out. Lu Yao then called Tang Xi back and said, "You don't have to be so depressed. After all, you just became the housekeeper not long ago, and it's normal for them to look down on you, but you have to know it in your heart."
, you are my steward, and Uncle Fu is the steward of the Lu family, do you understand what I mean?"
When Tangxi heard this, he understood. After all, Uncle Fu was quite old, and he was in charge of the affairs of the Lu family. No matter how much the Han family tried to please him, Lu Yao would not sell any favors to the Han family.
On the contrary, as Lu Yao's housekeeper, he could decide some matters with the Han family. Thinking of this, Tangxi no longer felt depressed.
"Come on, you've worked hard today. Let's go to the kitchen and cook you something delicious."
As Lu Yao spoke, he was looking for something in his room. Finally, he took out a colorful thing that he had never seen before, like a bag.
After the two came to the kitchen, Tangxi thought that Lu Yao was going to eat the legendary hot pot with her. However, when they arrived in the kitchen, she was a little disappointed when she saw the ingredients prepared by Lu Yao.
Eggs, green peppers, lettuce leaves, lean meat, that's all. Tang Xi doesn't think these things can make anything delicious.
Lu Yao didn't say anything. He opened the bag he brought out from his room and poured it directly into the pot. He was still muttering: "I'll have to get some soybeans in a while. It's better to make this miso yourself."
It tastes better.”
Experts watch the door, and outsiders watch the excitement. Tangxi is a rough guy. If he hadn't often entered the kitchen after following Lu Yao, he would be completely ignorant of cooking. Therefore, even if he saw Lu Yao busy there, he would not know anything about it.
I was just watching the excitement, I didn’t know what he was doing.
Lu Yao poured the juice-like substance from the bag into the pot, and then added the prepared eggs and green peppers.
Judging from the color of the juice, Tangxi didn't think it was very delicious. The dark yellow liquid, eggs and green peppers were mixed in and stir-fried together. Looking at the color of the eggs and green peppers, it's no wonder that Tangxi was surprised.
There was even a look of disdain in his eyes as he looked at the fried things in the pot. What Lu Yao made is the modern Northeastern doenjang. In fact, let alone people from the Song Dynasty, even modern people. People in southern cities actually don’t know it.
, why are Northeastern people so willing to eat this kind of sauce that looks very disgusting and disgusting from the color? Moreover, when Northeastern people eat this kind of miso, they usually eat it with pickles, cucumbers or
Raw onions and the like are something that southerners have never seen before.
Talking back to the present moment, Tang Xi looked at the sticky stuff in the pot and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. He had not eaten at night, so he felt a little uncomfortable and turned his head to the side unconsciously.
Although his eyes were moved away, Tangxi's nose was still very sensitive, and he still smelled the smell of the thing Lu Yao made. At first, it was a smell, but then, as he smelled it, Tangxi actually felt something...
There is a strong fragrance, and the fragrance is balanced by the spiciness of green pepper. To be honest, if I hadn’t just seen the physical form of this sticky thing, just smelling this smell, coupled with Lu Yao’s cooking skills,
Tangxi will definitely think that what Lu Yao is cooking now is a delicacy.
While Lu Yao was frying soybean paste, he looked back at Tangxi from time to time. His behavior was not unexpected by Lu Yao. There are people in modern times who are not used to this soybean paste, not to mention that this was in ancient times.
So, Lu Yao told Tangxi to wash the lettuce, put the steamed rice in a bowl, and bring over the shredded pork.
Tangxi was worried about how to evaluate this thing. Lu Yao's instructions could be said to have saved him. He immediately agreed and then got busy.
By the time Lu Yao finished making the miso, Tangxi was almost busy. Lu Yao then put the doenjang into a bowl, then put the shredded pork into the pot, added green peppers, and planned to make a simple
Shredded pork with green pepper comes out.
Lu Yao was cooking vegetables, while Tangxi was staring at the bowl of miso in front of him.
Tangxi looked at the sticky dark yellow stuff and really didn't think it was a dish. Then he looked at Lu Yao. From Lu Yao's expression, he knew that the dish was not a failure, at least based on his understanding of it.
As far as Lu Yao knew, the young master had never done anything wrong in cooking, but what was going on with the bowl of viscous liquid in front of him.
It took a relatively short time to stir-fry shredded pork with green pepper. After a while, Lu Yao finished his work. Then he brought two pairs of chopsticks, handed one to Tang Xi, and said, "I just saw you looking at it non-stop. What were you looking at?"
?”
When Tangxi heard what Lu Yao said, she smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to take the chopsticks.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Then he pointed to the bowl of miso in front of him and said, "Is this really edible? Master?"
When Lu Yao heard what Tang Xi said, he smiled and said, "Is there anything you can't eat? Have you ever tasted anything I made?"
Tang Xi shook his head, but there was still hesitation on his face and said: "All the delicacies made by the young master are indeed delicious, but this thing..."
Having said this, Tangxi looked at the bowl of miso in front of him again, with disgust written all over his face. In the end, Tangxi didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up some shredded green pepper pork with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and said: "Well, I
I still think this green pepper shredded pork is more delicious.”
Lu Yao was helpless. He smiled and said, "Have you ever heard the saying that people should not be judged by their appearance?"
Tang Xi nodded, and then understood what Lu Yao meant, and said, "Master, what you mean is that although this thing doesn't look very delicious, it tastes delicious?"
Lu Yao said: "Yes, let me tell you, didn't I say that I wanted to build that food street before? This thing is a kind of delicacy I plan to promote on that street. Let me tell you, this is the delicacy of rice dumplings.
The soul within.”
After Lu Yao finished speaking, he picked up some soybean paste with chopsticks and put it on the lettuce leaves. Then he put some rice and green pepper shreds and wrapped them in the vegetable leaves to form a simple rice bag.
When Tangxi saw what Lu Yao was doing, he didn't know what he meant. The next second, he saw Lu Yao eating the entire lettuce rice bun. He saw that there was bean paste left on Lu Yao's mouth.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
"Well, it tastes good, but as I thought, the sauce made from soybeans is more delicious. I only have two or three bags of miso I brought, so I think I have to save it.
." As Lu Yao said this, he put the sauce on the side of his mouth into his mouth again with his hands, as if he still had something to say.
The young master would never lie to himself. Tang Xi always believed in this truth. The young master just ate the sticky, slightly disgusting food in front of him, and he seemed to be eating it with relish.
Is it really like what the young master said, you can't just look at the surface of this thing, but you have to taste its taste?
When Tangxi was hesitating whether to take a bite, Lu Yao was not idle. He packed another rice bag, handed it to Tangxi, and said, "If that's the case, you can eat it.
"
Tangxi looked at the rice bag that Lu Yao handed to her. On the outside, there was nothing but lettuce leaves. The rice, shredded pork, and the sauce were all wrapped in the lettuce leaves.
Tangxi took it and Lu Yao continued: "Don't think about its appearance. Just treat it like a pie. Eat it first and then feel it."
Now that the young master said so and did not go directly to watch and eat the food, Tang Xi's psychological pressure was reduced a lot. After hesitating for a moment, he finally put the rice bag in his hand into his mouth.
As he chewed it again and again, the taste experience brought to Tangxi by the rice buns made his eyes widen wider and wider, and his surprise was palpable.
What a delicacy this is!
Tang Xi's surprise at the beginning turned into chewing quickly. He never thought that the unknown dish, which could be called a lump, would turn out to be so delicious after putting it in his mouth.
"This is really, really fragrant. It's really delicious. It's just my limited knowledge." Tangxi quickly apologized to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao smiled and said: "Haha, let me just say, people can't be judged by their appearance. This sentence is also applicable to these dishes. Don't look at this thing, it looks disgusting. In fact, it was the first time I ate this thing.
When I ate it, I had the same reaction as you, but after I ate it, I couldn’t stop and wanted to eat it again.”
Tangxi agreed and continued to make new rice bags without stopping.
Lu Yao saw Tangxi eating with gusto, and he felt a little relieved. In fact, Tangxi's reaction was more of the true reaction of the people when they saw this miso. The first reaction was definitely rejection, but now from Tangxi
Judging from my reaction after tasting it, this kind of food was still feasible in the Song Dynasty. In addition, the doenjang I made this time did not use pure soybean paste squeezed from soybeans, so the taste was definitely worse and the color was worse.
It should also be lighter on the soup. If we really want to build a food street, we should teach the people in the outer city how to make doenjang.
Tangxi was eating rice buns and said: "Sir, if this thing goes to the food street in the outer city, it will definitely become a delicacy."
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Well, the main reason I made this today is for you to try it and see how it tastes. The cost of this rice bag is extremely low. Even people in the outer city should be able to make it. Even if
People who can't afford meat can add other ingredients to these vegetables according to their own taste. Moreover, rice is a very hungry food. Basically, working people can eat two or three rice bags for half a day.
There should be no need to eat other food during this time.”
Tangxi said: "Sir, do you have many kinds of snacks like this?"
Lu Yao said with a smile: "That's natural. By then, relying on these things, plus the hot pot restaurant mentioned before, we should be able to drive the economic development of the outer city."
"Economy? What is that?" Tangxi asked.
Lu Yao smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and did not answer.
The rest of the people in the Lu family had finished their meals normally, but Lu Yao and Tang Xi each ate a full five rice bags before they were satisfied, whether it was vegetables, rice, or even the big ones that Tang Xi had always disliked.
Jiang, was finally wiped out by the two of them. Lu Yao didn't eat less tonight, after all, he hadn't eaten this kind of thing for a long time.
After eating, Lu Yao felt his stomach was a little bloated, so he followed Tang Xi for a walk in the backyard of his mansion.
Lu Yao asked Tangxi inadvertently and said, "Tell me, which one do you like more, Han Yunyu or Cao Han?"
Tangxi obviously didn't expect Lu Yao to ask such a question, so he said, "Sir, what do you mean?"
Lu Yao said: "I'm just asking, if you were asked to choose one of them to be your wife, which one would you choose?"
Tangxi stopped, thought about it carefully, and said, "If it were me, I think I would choose Miss Cao Han."
