[Baiyutang] Wind-dried clothes

I will not confess to Bai Yutang for the time being, but only say that this is Lu Caishu.When Lu Caichun entered the kitchen, several cooks squatting on the long benches saw her and laughed and said, "Miss Six is ​​really hardworking! Since Miss Six came, all the cooks in the empty island have rested. Today Six What do you plan to cook for the masters above?"

Lu Caichun bared her teeth, forced out a smile and said, "What diligence? I'm here to receive a punishment."

"Isn't that being punished every day?" The cooks looked at each other and smiled, "Miss Six deserves to be punished for her skill."

"Shut up! It's just you who talk too much!" Lu Caichun threw the spatula into the pot, making the bottom of the pot rattle. Waiting here to drink the northwest wind?"

The cooks rushed out laughing, and only Lu Caishu was left in the kitchen.She stepped forward, pulled out a sharp bone-cutting knife from the shelf, looked at the blade against the sunlight, and looked at the chopping board for two times, and said to herself: "I don't know when the old man will come to pick me up."

It turned out that Lu caishun was transported back to Xingkong Island by Zhuang Ding at first, but he was thrown into a hole in a rockery and detained.When Fang woke up, he saw a glimmer of moonlight leaking above his head, it was miserable white, and a ray of light was reflected on the ground.Lu Caichun stood up on her elbows, feeling sore all over her body. It turned out that the floor of the cave was cold, hard, and still steamy. She fell asleep like someone drove a nail into her spine.

After Lu Caichun scolded Bai Yutang in his heart, he used the moonlight to explore the surrounding stone walls. His tentacles were cold and smooth, and there was little moss growing.

Lu Caichun didn't touch the door opening for a while, and didn't know what kind of structure it was inside.After groping for a long time, she still hit one or two reptiles in the palm of her hand from time to time. She just grabbed them with two fingers, sat down cross-legged under the moonlight, and pinched the reptile's whiskers with her fingertips.

After wandering for a while, she suddenly heard the sound of water rushing through the cave. She was overjoyed, and followed the sound all the way through, and when she reached a crack, she put half of her hand in, and felt that there was a cold water coming out of the cave. Cool air, there should be an undercurrent flowing from the bottom of the cave.

Lu Caichun followed Ouyang Chun to travel all over the world, in order to serve this tricky uncle, he practiced many tricks, one of which was to touch fish and shrimp in the crevices of rocks.She tossed and tossed for half the night, didn't have a bite of food, and was panicking from hunger, so she picked up a large hard stone, smashed the sharp end of the beak into the gap, and smashed it so that there was a gap, and rolled it up again. Put your hands in the sleeves, put your face on the ground, just pull it out, and you will know that there is a small pool underneath, which is a good place to hide fish and shrimp.She tore off half of her skirt, tied it into a net bag, threw it into the pool, pulled it out by the four corners, and pressed it down with stones.He also leaped up through the bumps on the stone wall, like an ape, stretched out his arms, and then clung to the cracks in the top of the stone, and held them, and used his other hand to gather up the dead vine branches.

After collecting all the firewood that could be found inside and outside the cave, Lu Caishu looked at the sky in the gap, and there was already a gloomy sky.She squatted down next to the secluded pit, moved away the stones, grabbed the four corners of the net bag, gathered them together and held them tightly in her hands, held her breath, concentrated her attention, and lifted her arms hard, and brought them out of the pit.The net bag made of that skirt was leaking water, splashing and splashing all over the floor.When Lu Caishu was almost drained, he grabbed the neck of the net bag with his hand, lifted it to an open place, spread the net bag, and a few lively long white minnows popped out.

She pulled out her silky silver plum hairpin, pressed her two fingers firmly on the fish's head, took the pointed end to disembowel the fish, dug out the gills and scraped the scales, and finally wrapped it in a net, rinsed it in the pool for a while, and then turned around. Come back to build firewood.Take out the flint, shoot a few sparks into the woodpile, and the flames burst out.Taking the hairpin to skewer the fish, Lu Caishu sat down cross-legged leisurely, took out a few grains of salt from his waist pocket, crushed it and sprinkled it on the fish, and then turned over the fish skewer in his hand.

A puff of green smoke rose up along the sky, mixed with the smell of browned fish.Lu Caichun stared at the fish skewer in his hand, and said in his heart, it would be perfect if it was poured with a layer of oil and a few peppercorns.

Suddenly, the top went dark, and a rough voice said: "It smells so good, what is it like?"

Lu Caichun looked up, only to see half of his face pressed against the slit, a strange eye was looking in, and even his beard was pierced a few times.Lu Caichun raised the fish skewers in her hand, she has always been the sweetest, and she smiled when she came up, "Brother, do you want to come down and eat with me?"

The man didn't talk to her, and asked her instead: "Who are you? Why are you locked in this hole?"

Lu Caishu tore off a piece of fish meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Of course it's because I caught fish from the Songjiang River."

The man smiled and said, "Is it the fish in your hand?"

Lu Caichun said: "I don't have the luck to eat the fish in the Songjiang River."

When the man saw her eating fish, his saliva was gurgling in his throat.When Lu Caichun heard this, he tore off a piece of fish and threw it at the man, saying: "I am a guest on Xingkong Island, but in this cave, I am the master. Today I am the host, please eat fish."

The man squeezed his arm into the seam, stretched his five fingers apart and grabbed the fish in his hand.Lu Caichun saw that his arms were thick, but passed through the cracks lightly, like dough that can deform, and he didn't know what kind of weird skill it was, so he couldn't help but shouted "OK".

The man stuffed the fish into his mouth and chewed it hard, only to feel that it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, even the thorns were so crispy that it wouldn't prick the mouth, it was so hot and fragrant that it made his empty stomach growl.

Lu Caichun chewed another piece of fish meat, shook his head and sighed, "It's just that there is no good wine."

But the man on the top jumped up and said, "I'll bring a jar here." Before the words fell, the man had already rushed several feet away like a cloud of smoke.

After a while, Lu Caichun only heard a thud on the top of his head, looked up, and saw the man put a jar of wine beside the crack of the stone, and slapped the mud seal with his palm, as if he was about to pour it into the crack.Lu Caishu jumped up with a carp, ran to the bottom of the rock, raised his head and opened his mouth, the bright red wine in the altar poured down in a straight line, and it was falling into Lu Caishu's mouth.Before he could swallow the wine, his clothes were completely soaked, and the ground was also dripping.The man hurriedly put away the jar, Lu Caichun wiped his sleeves on his mouth, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Shaoxing's 19th year daughter is red, big brother is really generous!"

"You can even drink the year?" the man wondered, he lifted the wine jar and took a sip.

"What's so difficult about this? What kind of fine wine in the world has I never tasted? How can I relieve my worries? Only Dukang. Such a bright and thick color, and four tastes of soft, soft, mellow, and fragrant, sour, sweet, pungent, and astringent. The six flavors of sweetness, bitterness, and freshness can only be found in this year's daughter Hong." Lu Caichun's favorite thing is to listen to Mr. Shu's speech in Walan, and he has heard a lot of heresy. At this time, he wants to make this person happy. Is to pull out all the stops.

The man smiled and said, "You are a wonderful person!"

But Lu Caichun sat cross-legged, implying inside and outside the words: "It's a pity that I'm in prison, so I can't have a good drink with my elder brother."

The man said: "As you said, you are a guest of the empty island, so you will be the seat. All those bird people in the village are looking at the sky with their buttocks poking their buttocks - they have eyes but no eyes! I will unscrew the copper lock and let you out. "

Lu Caichun was overjoyed, but her face was flattered, she just asked: "Dare to ask elder brother Gao's name?"

The man said, "You don't know me?"

Lu Caichun had already made a guess in his heart, thinking that he must be a member of the Xing Kong Island, but pretended not to know, saying: "It must be some hero who went to Xing Kong Island to punish rape and eliminate evil."

The man laughed loudly: "What kind of evil can we get rid of on Zhakong Island? My elder brother is a member of the Lu Family Village on Zhakong Island, and he has a square character. I am his sworn brother of Xingsan, and my surname is Xu Mingqing."

Lu Caichun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "So it's Brother Xu, sorry for your disrespect."

It took only a short while to hear the loud noise, like a strong man moving a mountain. The stone wall on the east side was so smooth that there were no gaps, and the two sides suddenly opened. Inside the cave, Lu Caishu's eyes were stabbed shut tightly, and it took a long time before he dared to open them.That Xu Qing strode in, led Lu Caichun out on one end, and said on the other hand: "I will lead you to meet my brothers."

Lu Caichun had other plans in mind, grabbed Xu Qing's sleeve and said, "No hurry, brother Xu, just listen to me."

This Lu caishun has already sneaked into the kitchen under the cover of Xu Qing, and the other Lu Fang sat down at the main seat, glanced at the table, and wondered: "This is the kitchen, did you remember the wrong time? Why is it noon?" Don't you have food yet?"

Xu Qing, who sat down, said with a smile: "Brother, you have to be patient. Today, our brother is lucky!"

Han Zhang and Jiang Ping looked at each other and laughed together: "Let's see what kind of pills are sold in the third gourd."

The time for half a stick of incense passed, and Zhuang Ding, who was serving the dishes, came late. He was holding a large mother-of-pearl lacquer plate in his hand, puffing out white smoke. Neck to see what's in it.

On the plate, there are squash-long fish sticks, white and tender like creamy fat, dotted with finely chopped red peppers, as bright as agate, the two complement each other, it is really beautiful.

Xu Qing said: "Brother, please taste it first." Lu Fang sniffed the aroma, moved his index finger, grabbed the ebony chopsticks, put a piece into his mouth, and felt that the fish meat melted in his mouth instantly like hot frost and snow , not fishy or greasy, only a fresh fragrance fills the mouth and nose, faintly the scent of laurel.Looking at the exposed bottom of the plate again, the mother-of-pearl reflects the sunlight, just like sparkling water waves.

Xu Qingdao: "The name of this dish is 'A Thousand Sails Falling in the Evening Color'. It is a poem written by a man named Xu Hun when he was staying in Songjiang in the previous dynasty. Sliced ​​perch, peeled, rinsed with warm water, salted, then wrapped with egg white, steamed with sweet-scented osmanthus in the basket, to remove fishy smell and enhance fragrance. Spread it in the middle of the lacquer plate, sprinkle with Diced red pepper. Brother, please look, does the mother-of-pearl on this plate look like water patterns? Does this fish cake look like a sail? Does this red pepper look like the shadow of the setting sun?"

Lu Fang sighed: "It is indeed a fairy product in the world, all the virtuous brothers should also experience it."

Han Zhang and Jiang Ping looked at each other, grabbed the wooden chopsticks and tasted them, and they both praised each other.Xu Qing couldn't help showing color on his face.

At this time, the second course was also served.The vegetables were served in bamboo baskets with only the handles removed, and clusters of bright red and purple bracken protruded from the edge of the basket.Xu Qingdao: "The name of this dish is 'Qiluo Chuantou', which is derived from a line in the famous Bai Letian poem 'A net is laid out on the surface of the boat, and Qiluo is gathered by the bow of the boat', and it is also about our Songjiang business. Don’t underestimate this bracken, it’s boiled with chicken broth and shiitake mushrooms, and then boiled in chicken oil. Look at this flowery dress, doesn’t it look like a lady’s skirt?”

The three laughed when they heard the words. Han Zhang took a bundle and put it in his mouth. He felt fresh and crisp, with a strong fragrance, and he couldn't help cheering loudly.Lu Fangdao: "Third brother was enlightened by an immortal today, and he has become full of knowledge and eloquent." Xu Qing scratched his head and smirked.

While the four were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, the third dish was served.The appearance of this dish is not very good, but there are wild rice soup in a white porcelain bowl with a few egg flowers floating on the surface.Jiang Ping deliberately teased Xu Qing: "I don't know what allusion the third brother can tell about this dish?"

Xu Qing said with a smile: "Although this is the wild wild vegetable soup we are used to, it has some origins. In the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Zhang Jiying. He was an official in Luoyang, and suddenly he saw the autumn wind blowing the leaves and rustling them. Remembering the wild rice soup and sea bass from Songjiang, he said, "I am alive, I am happy. Why do I want to be the bird official?" Then I went back to my hometown. If he really missed eating and drinking, I respect him, but who knows that this bird man has come for refuge, and when he comes back, his master will be in trouble."

Jiang Ping served Lu Fang and Han Zhang a bowl each with Kuidou, and said, "This is what you say, so you have the momentum of the third brother."

The fourth dish was served, and there were five dried bamboo shoots standing on the ice-cracked porcelain plate of Ge Kiln. Xu Qingyi leaned forward to pick off the bamboo shoots, and saw small glutinous rice balls, diced chicken and small pieces of dried tofu rolled out from underneath. .Xu Qingdao: "The name of this dish is 'Qi'ao bamboo shoots', which comes from the Book of Songs 'Zhan Bi Qi'ao, Green Bamboo and Yi. There are bandits and gentlemen, who cut them like they were cut, and cut them like they were polished'. Look at this white and bright Glutinous rice and dried tofu correspond to "there are bandits who are full of earrings and know how to be like stars", that is, they wear shiny gemstones on their ears and buckskin hats on their heads—I don’t know why big men wear earrings .”

Han Zhang said with a smile: "I really don't dare to be a gentleman. This is absurd praise." As he said, he scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth. Everything.

Then came the fifth course.I saw a large piece of carved pigskin on the bottom of the plate, shiny and oily, with clumps of pickled vegetables lying on top.Xu Qingdao: "This dish is called 'Bare Meat with Nettles'. The bottom is covered with carved pig skin, and flowers are carved on the pig skin with a sharp knife for bone removal, so that the taste of sauce and pepper can penetrate into the meat; , it is to get rid of the greasy smell of pig skin, and the vinegar vegetable absorbs the gravy, so the vegetable has a meaty taste, which is even more delicious."

"'Bare the flesh and bear the thorns'-but it tells the story of Lian Po bearing the thorns and pleading guilty to Lin Xiangru?" Jiang Ping asked.

"Fourth brother is very knowledgeable," Xu Qing said, "Lian Po didn't know Lin Xiangru's painstaking efforts, and instead did all kinds of stupid things to run him off. Later, he learned of the prime minister's intentions, and came to Lin Xiangru's door to make amends with thorns on his back. Both of them are actually top-notch heroes, but some misunderstandings occurred, and the misunderstandings were solved, and they were naturally harmonious and beautiful."

Han Zhang smiled and said, "I'd like to meet this cook."

Jiang Ping also said: "I'm afraid it's not a fairy from Penglai Island who can stuff so much ink into the belly of our third brother."

Lu Fang said: "Third brother, please come out and meet us."

As soon as Lu Fang's words fell, the curtains of the room there were thrown up. Lu Caishu looked at the four of them and made a long bow, and then hurried forward.Xu Qing said: "This is what you call a fairy."

When Han Zhang ate the dish of "Bring the flesh to bear the thorns", he knew that the cook must have come to beg for forgiveness. At this time, he looked at Lu Caichun with a smile and asked, "I don't know what the girl has done to blame us. Plead guilty?"

Lu Caichun let out a long sigh, and talked about how he caught fish in the Songjiang River, ran into Bai Yutang, and caught him back to Xingkong Island.After hearing this, Xu Qing smiled and said, "So that's what happened. By the way, I even drank the wine you put in the fish jar!"

Lu Caichun pulled out a wry smile, and said: "Little sister also knows that she has offended, so she made a fool of herself to the brothers, so she dared to come out to see you. I only hope that the brothers can forgive me."

Han Zhang said, "Are you from Songjiang Mansion?"

Lu Caichun said: "I followed my uncle to the rivers and lakes. When I first came to your place, I committed this crime." After that, he stopped making a sound, only lowered his eyes, and quietly watched everyone's reaction.But seeing these people bowed their heads and didn't speak, they didn't know what they were planning in their hearts, and Xu Qing didn't dare to move rashly seeing that the brothers were silent.

In the end, it was Jiang Ping who said: "After all, this matter is related to the fifth brother, why don't we talk about it when he comes back?"

Han Zhang asked, "Who is your uncle's name? Where is he now?"

Lu Caichun said: "My uncle's surname is Ouyang, and the word chun is taboo. There was a murder case yesterday. He should go to track down the murderer."

All four people present were surprised and asked: "Young lady is Bei Xia's nephew?"

Lu Caichun sighed inwardly, and said, "Exactly."

The four looked at each other, and Jiang Ping hurriedly said: "This matter is really a misunderstanding. The girl is the guest, and we are the hosts, but she asked the girl to hold the pot and spoon for our brothers and make soup, it is damn damn."

Seeing that the other three people let go, Xu Qing hurriedly laughed and said: "It really is a phoenix that came out of the phoenix's nest. You don't know that she is not only a superb cook, but also a refreshing and cheerful person." After talking, he will have a chat with Lu Caishu in the cave We talked about it.

Jiang Ping had other considerations, he looked at Lu Caichun and said: "If the girl thinks highly of our brothers, how about we sworn brothers and sisters of Jinlan?"

Xu Qing is straightforward, after hearing this, he quickly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It really suits my heart!"

Lu Caichun hurriedly said: "It's the elder brothers who praised the younger sister. How can there be any reason to say no?"
