Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

The glazed eggplants were finished, and there were ten full plates in total.He Weiran sent three large dishes to the front yard for the little county master and the others, one dish was left in the kitchen for Mother Xu and the six maids to share, five dishes were given to the other servants, and one dish was kept. There is not enough food for the adults in the front yard.

Each person got a pair of chopsticks, surrounded by the plate of glazed eggplants to taste.Li Ku'er didn't eat breakfast at all and was very hungry. The first one unceremoniously took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Before he could taste it, the sugar juice overflowed his mouth. He chewed slowly and fried it until it was crispy. The custard makes a crackling sound, and the eggplant is wrapped in the crispy skin, which is as soft as cheese, and the eggplant is wrapped with sweet date paste. Although it is fried, it should be easy to absorb oil because of the custard wrapping The eggplant tastes not too greasy, but quite refreshing.The aroma of dates, oil, and sesame, combined with the perfect sweetness, creates a wonderful taste. Li Kuer feels that this is the most unlike eggplant he has ever eaten.

A Liao doesn't like eggplants, they are so smooth and soft that she can't like them, and her mother's fried eggplants are not tasty at all, the sauce on the outside is quite thick, but the inside of the eggplants is bland.After hesitating for a while, he didn't put down his chopsticks.Li Kuer put another one into his mouth, looked at her and said, "Ah Liao, you can eat it too, I guarantee that this glazed eggplant doesn't taste like eggplant at all."

"It's not like an eggplant, it's an eggplant." Ah Liao didn't believe it.

Seeing this, Xiao Qu also chimed in: "Really, it's not the eggplant flavor we usually eat, it's like sweet snacks, it's delicious."

A Liao glanced sideways at Xiao Qu, but she couldn't trust her, because Xiao Qu was always doing bad things, and her words were not very reliable.Although Li Ku'er is more honest and reliable than her, but she often plays tricks on people, pretending to be serious so that people can't see it.

"Ah Liao, don't you want to take a bite of my cooking?" He Weiran looked at A Liao and smiled, his eyes were full of teasing.

How dare Ah Liao insist on not eating anymore, with the tragic feeling of going to death, he closed his eyes and threw one into his mouth, took a few bites and was about to swallow it whole, but suddenly realized, hey, it really is different Yes, compared with the fried eggplant that I have eaten before, it is much drier, not greasy, and there is syrup on the outside and date paste in the inside, which has a strong taste.If it weren't for the psychological barrier of "how can this be an eggplant", Ah Liao would definitely fall in love with this dish.

"Actually, eggplant is called Luosu. One of the reasons is that it is soft and soft like cheese. If you use dry long eggplant like this in a deep fryer, the cheese-like texture will come out."

"So that's what happened. I was thinking, why do people in other places call eggplant Luosu, it's so weird." Ah Chuan said.

Soon, the entire plate of glazed eggplants was gone.The sweet taste is still flowing in the mouth, it is really endless aftertaste.A Cai from the front yard came, and said that the little princess likes glazed eggplants very much, and clamored to eat more, and asked Miss He to make another plate.He Weiran had expected it a long time ago, and gave the remaining plate to A Cai for business.

Li Ku'er wanted to go home to feed the pigs, so he bid farewell to He Weiran, He Weiran gave her two slings of money, told her to beat a hundred zong leaves, and then bought two catties of pork belly.Li Ku'er readily agreed, and hurried to do it. For some reason, seeing that Master He Shen was keen on the zongzi made by He Weiran, he also felt proud.

Going home first, he fed grass to the pigs, rice to the chickens, and watered Ah Kui. After everything was settled at home, Li Kuer went out with a basket on his back.First go to the forest where He Weiran and He Weiran went to thresh the leaves last time, and harvest a hundred or so leaves, roll up a roll and put it in the back basket, and then go to the butcher shop that the butcher market often visits to buy pork belly.

This butcher shop is run by a couple surnamed Dong. They are still very young. Both the husband and wife are tall and strong.Women always chop meat with two big knives and never greet guests.He Weiran said that she walked around the meat market, but this one still has the best and freshest meat with a complete variety.

On this day, the owner of the butcher shop was not there, only the wife of the butcher shop.The proprietress was also not good at dealing with customers. When she heard that Li Kuer wanted two catties of black-skinned pork belly, she cut the meat for her without saying a word.

Li Kuer thought that he had come here so many times, although the proprietress didn't speak much, she should recognize him, so he chatted with her: "Madam, why is Boss Dong not here today?"

The proprietress looked up at Li Kuer, and answered simply, "I'm sick."

"Sick? Is it important?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Oh, it's fine."

The proprietress weighed the meat, wrapped it in lotus leaves and tied it with a straw rope.After paying the money, Li Kuer said goodbye to the proprietress, and went back to Prince Qiao's mansion.It was noon, and it was time to eat in a while. Li Kuer went to the back kitchen to give the pork belly and zong leaves to He Weiran, but Xiaoqu told her that He Weiran was called away by the county magistrate again.

Li Kuer felt that the little county lord was so annoying, so he kept asking He Weiran to accompany him. He had already said that he would not go to the capital. Could it be that the little county lord still didn't give up?

Ah Chu and the others came back, and the servants served dinner. Li Kuer didn't see He Weiran, so she asked Ah Liao who was sitting beside him eating: "Where is Sister He? Why didn't you come back with you?"

Ah Liao took a mouthful of fried eggplant with soy sauce, then secretly vomited under the table, and then answered her: "The prince will take the little county master out to play in the afternoon, and the little county master said he wanted sister He to go with him, and the prince agreed." They should have left by now."

Li Kuer was even more annoyed when she heard this, and thought that the little county master really hated her, so she didn't wrong her.

After eating, Li Kuer was tired physically and mentally, so she wanted to go home and take a nap.Staying in the mansion has no work, no one she wants to see, and Xiao Qu's nasty relationship, she is very unkind and doesn't want to hear her talk about it.

The sun was in the sky, and Aoi was in full bloom facing the sun, looking very bright.Li Ku'er touched its petals, thinking of its appearance attached to A Xi's body, she was silly, but smiled happily and contentedly.Li Kuer also laughed, and murmured: "I really want to see how cute Ah Kui will be if she turns into a human being."

Li Ku'er took a nap, slept deeply for a long time, and even had a dream.She dreamed that He Weiran and the little county master talked together, laughed together, rode horses together, went boating on the lake together, and ate jelly at a small stall on the side of the road together. She walked over and sat between them, the little county master said proudly : "Auntie the cook agreed to go to the capital with me, and now she belongs to my family." Li Kuer didn't believe it, and looked at He Weiran.He Weiran stopped smiling at her, and just said: "I played with the little county master today, and found that she is more interesting than you." The old jelly seller is gone, the little county owner is gone, and He Weiran is gone. She is the only one left in the world, and even her strength is far away from her. She is lonely and more fragile than before.

"Hey, Kuer." Someone called her.

Li Kuer wiped the tears from her face, raised her head, and found that the river god Ayan was sitting opposite her eating jelly.

Seeing that she was sobbing badly, Ah Yan poured a glass of water for her and asked, "What dream did you have? Did you encounter something unclean?"

Li Ku'er's heart was still so sore that she wanted to cry when she opened her mouth.She took the river god's water, and the water was shining blue, different from ordinary water.After she took a sip, she immediately stopped crying and choking, and felt refreshed all over.

"What does it mean to meet something unclean?" Li Kuer swallowed the whole glass of water.

"I came to you to ask about Zongzi, but just now I saw that you were entangled in the nightmare, I'm afraid it might be contaminated with something, but I can't see it, you should be more careful recently."

Hearing what she said, Li Kuer was quite frightened, but when he thought that what happened just now was just a nightmare, he felt a little rejoiced.She nodded and said to He Shen: "Thank you, Sister Yan. By the way, Sister He has already agreed to the rice dumplings. I went to buy rice dumplings and pork belly in the morning."

The God of the River was overjoyed, and asked again: "Then did she say about the reward? What is it this time, I will look for it right away."

Li Kuer waved his hand: "Sister He said that you should write an IOU this time. If she wants something later, she will come to you again."

The God of the River frowned, wondering: "But I will leave here soon, maybe a month or two, maybe a year or two, or maybe a year or 20 years, and I don't know when I will be able to pay back this debt. How about this, I will give you a talisman paper, if you want to find me, burn this talisman, throw the ashes of the paper into the well, I will feel it soon, and I will come back as soon as possible."

Li Kuer took the talisman paper, which was yellow and folded into a triangle, with a red string attached to it, which could be hung around his neck.Li Kuer hung up the talisman paper, and the river god said again: "Remember, if you are not looking for me for debt, don't use it indiscriminately. Especially, if anyone wants to look for me, don't let her see this talisman paper, otherwise , I will be in trouble!"

Li Ku'er didn't understand, she still nodded and nodded, Ah Yan also disappeared, and the eyes were dark again, and she was unconscious again.

Li Kuer woke up and woke up, it was already halfway through, she rubbed her eyes, yawned, scratched her neck, and suddenly found a red rope around her neck, and the thing falling down from the red rope was exactly A piece of triangular rune paper.She stared blankly at the triangular talisman paper: "So Lord River God...is it entrusted to me by entrusting a dream?"
