Chapter 198: Jade White Jade Roll and Barbecue
Each lettuce leaf was rubbed cleanly. Seeing A Yao rubbing the leaves tirelessly, picking out the vegetable worms, and carefully checking the sun, she didn't want too many wormholes, so she left the vegetables with good quality to help her build them neatly. Pei Shuo volunteered to help her wash the vegetable leaves, and as soon as she took over, she rubbed a few slices of lettuce.
"You'd better watch it while washing a few more pieces, so we won't have to eat them at night." A Yao was so scared that she squeezed Pei Shuo aside, washed the lettuce several times with well water, and finally used the boiled and cooled water to water again, drain and set aside.
"Is it so exaggerated? It's a bit of a waste. All of these can be eaten." Pei Shuo felt a bit of a pity when he saw that A Yao had chosen several piles of lettuce leaves.
After several years in the army, the food in the army changed according to the conditions at that time. The war was the most intense. On the way to marching, there was not necessarily a hot rice supply, and they only drank hard wheat cakes with cold water. Later, they stationed in the city, did farm work in their spare time, planted rice and harvested vegetables, and learned to cherish the difficulty of getting food.
If you only know Wangyue now, he will never invite her to come to her house to cook the dishes for several days. Wangyue follows the principle of eating fine food, stew and fine stew, and using excellent ingredients. Even if it is a vegetable dish that serves soup, choose the tenderest vegetable heart and discards other leaves.
"I don't want it here. The ones here are made into hot dishes. The braised dishes you ate in the villa in the suburbs of Beijing last time. I think you ate a few more chopsticks, so it's easy to make rice. Finally, these are to be made into lettuce buns. The leaves of lettuce buns are relatively high. They must have good quality. They cannot have too many insects or rotten, otherwise they will not be able to catch the things and the juice will leak out."
A Yao pointed to Sanduancai and explained that only a small pile would be needed.
"When I first learned cooking, Master Wangyue told me not to learn from her. I am more directed at the people or middle and lower classes. Of course, if one day I am invited to cook for the high-ranking officials, I have to have stricter requirements for the selection of materials, from the ingredients and taste to the tables for entertaining guests, they can be worthy of the price they give, making them feel that it is worthwhile to invite me."
Pei Shuo: "So that's it. The hot dishes are really delicious. It's rare that you can see them even if you stand so far."
When talking about the villa in the suburbs of Beijing, A Yao and Pei Shuo were silent at the same time. In order to transfer time, A Yao took the ginger and cut off the white gang, left the leaves to spread and wash them, and then softened the leaves, took them out and kept them green to keep them green, and then chopped the minced meat.
Anyway, I can't stop.
She didn't know how to face Pei Shuo. In the last life, she owed Pei Shuo a life, and she never knew how to compensate her in this life.
well.
Pei Shuo's eyes were sunk. He felt that after the other courtyard, A Yao seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. Every time he looked at him, there was guilt and irreparable apology.
What made her apologize like this, was it the dishes at the banquet or the unpleasantness that happened at the banquet at that time?
But he has one thing to say:
"A Yao, the last time the river snail in the villa in the suburbs of Beijing..."
Dong! The orderly sound of the kitchen knife suddenly stopped.
When A Yao heard the river snail, she remembered that she woke up in the sedan chair in her previous life, and followed the people into the villa in a daze. She remembered that she knew how to cook fish, but she was so familiar with the fish that she scraped the scales. She remembered that Pei Shuo fell down after eating fish fillets, and the cook with blood and tears was watching her, her pupils contracted, and she shouted: "I didn't make that river snail!"
Pei Shuo frowned, was A Yao's reaction a little too big?
He explained: "No matter what your business is. The servant is from a villa. He was bribed and mixed the river fish into the fish as a dried fish. Later, it was found out that the person who did this behind his back was Bai Yun. As Pei Xingzhi's concubine, she promised that the servant in the villa would not only buy him out of the villa, but also betroth him his maid, as long as he mingled the puffer fish seedlings in the ingredients."
A Yao calmed down and was so surprised that she couldn't even hold back her chin: "Bai Yun? She was obviously a maid last time when she became Pei Xingzhi's concubine? What happened in this?"
"It should be the last time you saw her, they were drunk with my fellow comrades." Pei Shuo snorted and laughed disdainfully, "Just that night, she screamed and attracted people the next day. Uncle second beat Pei Xingzhi half to death and forced him to accept Bai Yun."
"Oh-so that's it." A Yao realized clearly and turned around and continued to cut the mushrooms into pellets: "Bai Yun's method is so high. It's obvious that nothing happened, but she was forced to get a concubine. Pei Xingzhi was so dirty that he was finally plotted against."
"Hmm, you know?"
"If Pei Xingzhi was excited and pretended to be crazy by drinking, he would do something he didn't dare to do before. This is called drinking to enhance people's courage. Bai Yun wanted to confirm her status and could achieve her goal in a few tricks. But how could a person who was so drunk that he didn't even realize that he could be hard that night?" A Yao blurted out. As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to bite off her tongue and talk to Pei Shuo about this topic.
"Yeah? You know."
The sentence was no different from the question just now, and the tone was completely different. A Yao looked at the shadows approaching step by step, and became more and more guilty. She subconsciously shrank her neck and looked like a quail. She turned around. Pei Shuo had already come to her, forcing her to raise her head and hold the desk behind her hands.
As soon as the two approached, the height contrast was even stronger, she barely reached Pei Shuo's shoulders.
She stretched out to push him away but Pei Shuo held his hand: "Pei, Pei Shuo, don't get so close..."
"A Yao, you haven't told me yet, how did you know, huh?"
His head slowly lowered, and the shadow covered A Yao. He held the desk with his other hand, his forehead against his forehead. The two of them had the other person left in their eyes, and the only person in their eyes was reflected in their breathing.
A Yao was so nervous that she held her breath, her heart beat faster and faster, as if she was about to rush out of her chest and could not breathe anymore, her cheeks were flushed, and she felt dizzy after wave. Her feather-like eyelashes were twitching, slowly closing her eyes.
"Boy A Yao, are you breathing, or are you expecting?"
The other person's temperature on his forehead had left. A Yao breathed and opened her eyes. Pei Shuo didn't know when he would let go of his hands. He wrapped his hands around her waist and buried his head in her neck: "It's not possible now, but I'm looking forward to that day - I can kiss you openly. You won't resist because of our identities. You only belong to me, and I only belong to you."
“…”
A Yao slowly wrapped her hands around her, hugged Pei Shuo, and said calmly: "Then you can go out now, don't disturb me from cooking?"
"A Yao is so cruel."
"You are still making trouble, don't act spoiled, let go."
Pei Shuo let go, and went out of the kitchen door without looking back. Then he quickly moved the little stool and returned to the kitchen to sit: "I'm out, you didn't say you won't let me in."
A pure face.
A Yao doesn't care about him. Considering that it's summer now and there's barbecue, I don't need the past, so I'm now making a marinade that tastes refreshing and has a relatively light taste.
Mix the minced meat with shrimp and crumble mushrooms, add cooking wine, soy sauce, starch and other seasonings, mix well to make a meat filling, spread it on the softened vegetable leaves, and it doesn’t matter if the meat filling is slightly more. It’s okay if you don’t squeeze out the vegetable leaves. Roll the vegetable leaves and roll the meat filling for a week, and place it on the plate.
The leaves of the sausage are wider, and the rolled jade white jade rolls are rolled into long strips. A Yao cuts it in half, steams it in a pot, pour the steamed vegetable juice into the pot and mixes the chicken soup, thickens the water starch, and pours it on the white jade roll.
After steaming, the leaves are as bright as jadeite and white jade. The leaves are crystal clear and easy to see the color of shrimp, minced meat and mushrooms inside. Just eating the meat filling makes it feel greasy, and paired with sweet syrup, refreshing and chewy shrimp, and the aroma of mushrooms offsets the greasy taste of eating meat.
In addition to this vegetable and meat roll, there is also a barbecue. In this era without an oven or tin foil, the barbecue can only be barbecue with open fire. A day ago, she cut the plum pork belly into strips, and then used bamboo sticks to prick the meat slices for marination. She used sauce made of honey, pepper, salt, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce and cooking wine and other seasonings to grab the meat slices evenly and store them in the well. Today, she can directly put on the iron stick and take it to the stove to bake.
There is no place to put iron tags, so it depends on A Yao holding the rotating tags in both hands, baking pork belly and plum head meat with heat. The fat on it melted and dripped on the stove. The fire was soaring.
Pei Shuo looked at A Yao's forehead covered with dense sweat. They gathered into beads of sweat the size of beans, hung on the corners of eyebrows and eyes, slid from the temples, stood up from the stool and wiped her sweat with her sleeve: "I'll bake it for you."
"If it is burnt, you will eat it anyway." A Yao did not refuse, and let her go and handed the meat stick to Pei Shuo.
"I can't burn, the food in the army is not very good, and I occasionally need a tooth sacrifice. I have been practicing barbecue outside in Yanmen for the past two years. The seasonings on hand are not as good as yours. Sprinkle salt and eat them." Pei Shuo turned the meat sticker, his technique was really proficient.
Not long after, sweat also oozed out of his forehead. A Yao stared at it for a while, turned around and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief: "Turn your face a little bit."
"A Yao is so nice."
"I'm just a polite exchange."
"That's good too~" He raised his lips, and the eight skewers on his hands were grilled. He took off the iron stick and added the new one to continue grilling. A Yao cut the strips into slices of meat. When he cut them, he walked down with the blade. The gravy squeaked out. She couldn't help but hold a small piece to taste the taste.
Hey, it tastes delicious. How could the sauce be so good? A Yao quietly licked the gravy on her fingers.
Pei Shuo glanced at me, and his tail was just a big one behind him, and he opened his mouth and said, "I want to eat too."
"Just one piece." A Yao said, picking up a small piece to feed.
Pei Shuo proudly said: "It's so delicious, my skills are good."
"Yes, your neck is injured...what is going on?" A Yao noticed the scars in Pei Shuo's throat. It seemed to be pierced by something sharp, and the scabs fell off. She still remembered the story of the storyteller, saying that Pei Shuo was attacked. At that time, she thought he was dead and was sad for a while.
"This." Pei Shuo raised his head and revealed the scar. "It seems to be left behind when he was supporting Taoji Town. He was busy dealing with the enemies around him, but he didn't notice the arrow. He was wiped by it. I was lucky and lucky, but to be honest, you would give me this blessing."
A Yao: "It's nonsense that you obviously escaped the disaster."
"At that time, I ate glutinous rice balls with you. I ate two lucky money. You didn't eat them, so you insisted on changing one dumpling with me. As a result, the third lucky money was given for this dumpling that was replaced by me. They were hung on the neck as pendants. Later, they grew up and the rope was short and they were reluctant to change it, so they just wore it. It was this unintentional coincidence that it blocked the throat-piercing arrow, but unfortunately the red rope and the three lucky money were broken."
Pei Shuo turned the meat over and continued to roast it.
"Peace is broken and safe." A Yao said. "It's good that you can save your life."
"A Yao, why don't you give me good money again."
"Let's talk about it when the Chinese New Year, and you have to eat the lucky money. Maybe I will be the one who gets the lucky money."
A Yao fried a pot of fried rice with eggs, barbecue, jade white jade rolls, braised vegetables and fresh lettuce. She also used Houttuynia cordata to make a drink to prevent too much barbecue and fried rice from getting heat.
"A spoonful of fried rice in the lettuce, hold a few slices of meat, braised vegetables, pour a little marinade or not, and then wrap it together to eat." A Yao demonstrated that she wrapped the ingredients in lettuce and took a bite. The lettuce was crispy and the barbecue was rich in gravy. It had both salt and salt seasoning and honey. The rice grains were wrapped in egg flowers and braised vegetables for rice. The hodgepodge was very fresh. They affected each other, but they would not take away the taste of other ingredients.
Pei Shuo learned to mix a piece of fried rice with leaves and spoonfuls of fried rice with braised vegetables. The meat slices on the surface of the braised vegetables were placed, so that the braised vegetables could be stained with gravy. The marinade penetrated into the rice, and finally was wrapped in a reunion of lettuce. It was fun and delicious.
If you eat too many dishes with strong taste, try the light jade white jade rolls, the combination of meat and vegetables, and the deliciousness of shrimp, so that the taste buds can slowly recover.
Another bowl of Houttuynia cordata to relieve greasiness and thirst, Pei Shuo stretched his stomach and helped water her fields.
"A Yao, the emperor has become ill recently." He suddenly said.
"Ah?" A Yao scratched her head, "Will those decrees affect us?"
"Not yet, but because he fell ill, my father issued a confinement order, not allowing people in the mansion to go out and not send people to visit. It was only in one or two days that the emperor might be better, so I could leave the mansion. It was because of this that I was unable to come to you in time." Pei Shuo explained.
"That……"
A Yao still had questions, such as how Bai Yun got out of the Marquis' Mansion, such as why he had to say this specifically, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back into her stomach. She shook her head: "It's okay, I'm not going to be fine, you can come to me in time."
"They will not come to harass you again, I will resolve this matter as soon as possible." Pei Shuo said firmly. "I hope that person is healthy. If... we probably won't be able to meet for a long time."
"It's okay." There was a thought passing by quickly, and A Yao couldn't catch its tail.
