Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

Li Kuer and He Weiran went back to Prince Qiao's mansion together, it was still early.The dishes to be eaten at noon are all washed and prepared, and they are only waiting for the time to start frying.It's a leisurely time for everyone to get together, Ye Ma and Xu Ma found a shade and sat on bamboo chairs eating melon seeds and chatting about homework, A Chuan and A Zhu were embroidering silk handkerchiefs on the steps, Xiao Qu, A Liao and A Chu were fishing ice cold by the well The watermelon, as well as Yiyuan, Ertong, Zhang Da and several front yard servants gathered on the long table at the door to fight crickets lively. Only Zhang's mother was still cooking broth in front of the stove, and the smell of beef had spread throughout the backyard. kitchen.

As soon as He Weiran arrived, he called Xiao Qu, and took her into the kitchen to record the accounts for the white flower mushroom and jellyfish skin.Li Ku'er stretched out her head to take a look, feeling inexplicably guilty, so she ran to A Zhu and A Chuan to see what patterns they were embroidering.

A Chuan's partner is the guard at the gate of Prince Qiao's mansion. He moved here with Prince Qiao. He looks upright. It is said that there are many girls secretly admiring him, but he is still infatuated with A Chuan who is far away in the back kitchen. Maybe it is Look at her gentle temperament.A Zhu is the most beautiful among the five maids in the back kitchen. She has a childhood sweetheart neighbor who is a fair and clean scholar. People say that they are a good match.

In fact, Li Ku'er envied the two of them, they were not more than two years older than her, but they had a sweetheart of the same family, so they were much luckier than those blind married women.And she has no one she likes, so she still has to work hard to marry herself out. Even if she saves a generous dowry, she doesn't know where to send it to.Life in the future was so dazed and scary, Li Kuer decided not to think so much, and just earn the dowry first.And looking at the current situation, it is possible to solve this problem.

"Bitter, come and eat watermelon!" Ah Liao and Ah Chu have already cut up the iced watermelon, three in total, and cut into six large plates. They will be divided into a circle in the house, one piece for each person, so that everyone can relieve the heat. , This seems to be the grace of the old prince.Li Ku'er ran over, randomly picked a large piece and put it down, it was sweet and cold, and the pleasure was self-evident.

"You give three yuan to the people inside, and we have to go to different courtyards." A Liao put the watermelon into the food box one by one, and asked Li Kuer to help.

Li Ku'er naturally agreed, thinking about He Weiran, Zhang Ma and Xiao Qu, none of them would be easy to offend, so he had to choose the big one.Picking and choosing, she took out three pieces that were about the same size, which was considered a reservation, and hurriedly gnawed away her own piece. She wiped her mouth, her stomach was swollen, but she felt very satisfied.

Holding three pieces of watermelon and walking into the kitchen, Mama Zhang just came out, wiping her hands with the apron, with an ugly expression on her face.Although Li Ku'er never dared to speak to her, he still respectfully gave her the watermelon.Zhang Ma glanced at her, took the melon, looked at the remaining two yuan in Li Kuer's hand, said nothing more, and went out while nibbling.Li Kuer thought that Mama Zhang really didn't want to suffer, luckily the melon he gave her was no smaller than the other two pieces.

"Sister He, Xiaoqu, come to eat watermelon."

"Hey! Here we come!" It was Xiao Qu who responded, packing up the account book and pen and ink, and it should have just finished writing the account.It's no wonder that Zhang Ma's face was black just now, because she knew that He Weiran went out to buy high-quality ingredients by herself, so she was upset.

Li Kuer looked at He Weiran again, she was cutting the heart of the cabbage, cut one heart into four lengthwise, and only took the stem.

"Sister He, eat melon first, it won't be cold after a while."

"Okay, Ku'er, do me a favor and beat the egg."

Li Kuer saw that the job was easy, so he didn't shirk it, put two pieces of watermelon on the table next to him, took the chopsticks, and went to He Weiran's side.

He Weiran was already full of various ingredients in front of him.Rolls of noodles neatly arranged, bean sprouts with heads and tails removed, white mushrooms soaked in water, shredded cucumbers, sliced ​​beef, a piece of dried jellyfish skin rolled into long strips, and three eggs in a bowl .There are also a lot of seasonings, such as white sesame, sugar, sansho pepper, chili oil, tempeh, mature vinegar, rice wine, light soy sauce, ginger, sesame paste, bean paste, and a small bowl of cold noodles. It is really not to be underestimated to prepare so many ingredients.

Li Kuer took the eggs, knocked on the edge of the bowl, and then started beating the eggs quickly with the chopsticks.

"The gesture is good, I would like to try Ku'er's cooking skills." He Weiran smiled, cut the heart of the cabbage and put it on the plate for later use, then went to eat the watermelon.

Li Ku'er was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide: "I don't dare to cook for Sister He, I learned all my skills from my neighbor's Aunt Liu, and her skills are so-so, no match for yours. "

"Maybe it's the green out of the blue."

Xiao Qu was eating and didn't plan to go out. She wanted to chat with them, but Li Ku'er wanted to push her out because of her bad mouth: "Sister He, Ku'er's craftsmanship is really not very good. Whoever has eaten it will know, maybe it's just She can eat it by herself."

"Smelly Xiaoqu, who emptied my rice bowl last time!"

"The rice vat in your house didn't have a few grains of rice. I got the bottom of it before I came here, so you're blaming me?" Xiaoqu proudly looked at Li Kuer, who was puffing up her cheeks with anger. He marveled at the materials on the chopping board: "You are so particular about eating noodles, our prince is really too corrupt."

Li Ku'er was always angry, but when she saw Xiao Qu changed the subject, she immediately calmed down, and didn't shy away from her disrespectful words, saying: "If the prince doesn't pay attention, Sister He won't be able to come, it's up to you Mama Zhang, are you happy?"

"That's right, it's just her temper..." Xiaoqu lowered her voice but accented her words: "When you are happy, you will be ordered around, and when you are not happy, you will be ordered around. You can't ask more questions when the price of vegetables is skyrocketing. Once you open your mouth, you will be ordered around." Stare hard, as if trying to kill someone, it's too dark."

"How dare you say it, let her hear it, and retaliate in the future."

"I'm not afraid, who in the kitchen doesn't know about this?" Xiaoqu ate two mouthfuls of melon and continued, "Sister He, you have to be careful of Mama Zhang and the others, the tricks are insidious."

"You mean what happened in the morning?" He Weiran leaned on the table to eat melons, as if he didn't take Xiaoqu's conspiracy theory to heart.

"Oh..." Xiaoqu quickly reacted, and looked at Li Kuer again: "You man, when did your mouth become so loose? Turn around and sell me."

"Come on, how can I be as good as you in talking loosely? I guess even if I didn't say it, you would have told Sister He."

"That's true, but I want to declare that I didn't eavesdrop on it on purpose, it was definitely a coincidence."

"I know your intentions are good, it's okay, I can understand all of this." He Weiran finished eating the melon, washed his hands in the basin, walked to Li Kuer, and saw that the eggs in her bowl had been beaten very evenly , then took another small bowl, poured cooking wine and sweet potato starch and beat well, added it to the egg wash bowl and asked Li Kuer to continue beating, while he started to cut the jellyfish skin.

Li Kuer was always curious about the method of drying jellyfish skin, and stared at it intently while cracking eggs.The jellyfish skin has been rolled into strips, just like scallions wrapped in a flatbread.He Weiran put the jellyfish roll on the chopping board and cut out even thin strips from scratch.Boil a pot of hot water on the other end of the stove. After the water boils, put the thin strips into the pot. When the jellyfish changes color, remove it immediately and put it in a basin filled with cold water to soak and cool.

Li Kuer watched helplessly that the jellyfish skin, which had no moisture at first, became plump and smooth in the blink of an eye, and felt that it was so miraculous that the movement of beating eggs with his hands slowed down.Seeing this, He Weiran took scissors and cut two pieces for Li Kuer and Xiaoqu to taste.Li Kuer put down the bowl of egg liquid, took the jellyfish sticks that were as long as the little finger and put them in his mouth to chew. They were full of elasticity, accompanied by the sound of creaking, and the taste was extremely crispy, but they were a little salty and had to be soaked for a while. become.

"Is the taste okay?"

"Very refreshing."

He Weiran poured out the water that scalded the jellyfish in the pot, brushed it with a thin layer of oil, and began to spread the egg skin again.The egg skin should be spread out evenly, because the egg liquid cooks quickly, so the technique must not be ambiguous. When the egg liquid solidifies to a golden color, peel off the whole egg skin from the edge, fold it in four, cut out the egg skin shreds, and put Serve on a plate.

Li Ku'er counted, there are six kinds of jellyfish, bean sprouts, egg skin, cabbage sum, cucumber, and beef, the only thing missing is the white mushroom that is still soaked in water.

"Is it time to make mushrooms now?" Li Kuer asked.

He Weiran looked at the mushrooms, shook her head and said, "I haven't soaked the hair yet, cook the noodles first." She said and started to work.

"This noodle needs to be cooked for a longer time, so that it won't harden due to the shrinkage after cooling down." She stirred the noodle into the pot and covered the pot.

"Taking advantage of this time, cook another sauce."

"Then these are all used to make sauce?" Xiao Qu pointed to the seasoning on the table and asked.Li Kuer also guessed like this, imagining what it would taste like if they were put together.

"Well, the sauce is not delicious, and it's useless to add more good ingredients, so we must work hard." He Weiran explained while making it: "Use beef broth as the soup base, add rice wine, Vinegar, light soy sauce, sugar, sesame paste, sansho pepper, minced ginger, chili oil, tempeh, bean paste, the amount should be well controlled, if the amount of one ingredient is wrong, the resulting sauce will be different.”

Li Ku'er didn't expect to be a cook, so he didn't go into the exact amount of the ingredients, just looked at He Weiyan's appearance, and poured it in a spoonful or two casually. Estimated.

The sauce is done and the noodles are done.He Weiran poured the sauce into a bowl, picked up the noodles with a colander, drained them in cold water, put them on a plate, and took another look at the mushrooms, they were white and fat. Pour the water for soaking the mushrooms into the pot together with the beef broth, put the sliced ​​Chinese cabbage sum and the sliced ​​mushrooms into the pot together, and cover the pot.

"Now we're just waiting for these two things." He Weiran put down the spoon, and said to Xiaoqu, "It's about time, call Ah Liao and the others to bring the noodles to the front yard later."

"Okay." Xiao Qu responded and walked outside.

He Weiran said to Li Kuer again: "Go and get six plates."

Li Kuer obediently went to the cupboard to get six blue and white porcelain plates, and placed them in front of He Weiran.He Weiran put the noodles in separate plates, and placed bean sprouts, cucumber shreds, egg skin shreds, and beef slices neatly on the noodles in a divergent shape. Put them out, put them on top together, put a ball of shredded jellyfish in the center, pour over the sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and six plates of colorful cold noodles are ready.

"Ku'er, let's find a food box and pack two plates, and bring them to my room to eat later."

"Ah, in your room?" Li Ku'er opened her eyes wide. Although she looked surprised, she was not without joy in her heart.

"Well, it would be bad for others to see it. I promised you, why don't you be selfless?"

"Okay, I haven't seen your house yet, I really want to see it."

"Hehe, there's nothing to look at, so don't hold out too much hope."

But it turns out that the house He Weiran lives in is really nothing to look at... All the guest rooms in Prince Qiao's Mansion are of the same standard, a larger living room and a smaller bedroom, separated by bead curtains.After He Weiran lived here, he didn't buy anything for these two houses. It can be said that it doesn't look like he will live here all the time.Li Kuer guessed that He Weiran was careless by nature, or that he didn't intend to stay here for a long time.She hoped it wasn't the latter, because in just one month, Li Kuer found that her curiosity and dependence on He Weiran had surpassed the people she usually knew. If one day she suddenly left, she would be very sad.

The two buried their heads in eating the cold noodles, which were so delicious that people couldn't stop. The strong noodles, rich ingredients, and fragrant sauce, this delicacy without a trace of heat seemed to calm the impetuous heart in the hot summer. cool.
