Mr. Minguo's kitchen

Xiao San'er was lazy this morning, when he got up and saw no one in the courtyard, he was curious, and when he walked to the inner courtyard, he saw everyone gathered together and wondered what they were doing.These few all came from the west courtyard, only Xiao San'er had been taking care of this young master Lin before.Because of this, everyone was polite to him in the past, but when they heard him ask, they naturally told him everything about the young master's cooking in the morning.Xiao San'er didn't think so, but saw everyone talking and drooling, and said that the young master had the most delicious food, and the eldest master left a basket for him as a snack.Turning his eyes, he walked towards the inner courtyard.

"Hey! Little bastard, where did you put the food that Eldest Young Master gave you?" Because of eating well and sleeping well these few days, the child's face became a little rosy.This club was scratching something on the ground with a branch, and turned a deaf ear to Xiao San'er's words.

Xiao San'er searched the house, but couldn't find it. When he came out, he saw the kid playing in the mud and impatiently kicked his ass.The kick made him stagger forward, and his immature knees knelt in the mud. Fortunately, he had a hand on the ground to relieve some of the force.When he stood up on the ground, the child, who was not as tall as an adult's thigh, turned his head and stared fiercely at Xiao San'er in front of him, and suddenly threw the branch in his hand on him, "I'm not a bastard! The snacks made by big brother are for me !"

Seeing him fall, Xiao San'er was a little guilty at first, after all, today is different, the eldest young master is back, if they are found out, there is no guarantee that they will not blame these servants.But when he heard the little bastard's rebuttal, he immediately sneered and said: "Yo! You are a bastard whose father doesn't know who his mother doesn't raise! This is called my brother, the young master has a head and a face, but I don't know how many!" I hate you, a loser, you thought you were hugging someone else's thigh hahahaha, and you don't even look at your own background!" He used to say this a lot, but now he can't get anything out of him after saying it , I also felt that it was boring, and walked away cursing.There are only a few dim sum left and right, who cares about it, no matter how delicious it is, there are still delicious dim sum from Yushizhai?

The child who was still standing there was pale, and his fists were clenched tightly.Suddenly, a few drops of water hit the mud lightly. On the mud, one can vaguely see the crooked "Lin" and two "草" characters drawn with a stroke of a branch.

"Eldest young master, you are too powerful. How did you know that Mrs. Lin Si loves to eat green balls! This is the first time I've seen Si master be so talkative!"

After coming back from the outside, Ah Fu's mouth never stopped talking, exaggerating the young master for a while, and worrying for a while: "Eldest young master, the second master wants to separate the family, so it's useless for us to find the fourth master." Lin Weirui walked in front I ignored him, but the luck of the two of them didn't look very good today, just as they entered the door, they happened to run into Er Shao Lin who had just returned from outside.This is not over yet, a rickshaw got off from the back, and Miss Lin San was sitting in it. Now, for the first time in five years, the three young masters and young ladies of the Lin family faced each other.

Lin Ershao inherited the small eyes of Lin Erye and the ordinary appearance of Lin Er's wife, and his appearance can only be described as ordinary.However, he was wearing a crimson satin jacket with large patterns, a small black waistcoat, and a melon cap with green jade and rubies inlaid on his head. No matter how rich he was, his slightly fat figure matched the jeweled aura of his body.As he stepped forward, a scent of fragrance powder from his daughter's family came to his face.

Then I saw Lin Weirui who came back from outside, her small eyes kept looking around.

The bridge of the nose is straight, the light-colored thin lips, the eyebrows are delicate and delicate, and the red phoenix eyes with slightly raised corners give a sense of awe.As a show of respect, today Lin Weirui wore a black shirt embroidered with dogwood pattern when she went out, which made her complexion frighteningly white.It seems low-key, but a small ruby ​​cufflink is inlaid at each cuff.

Seeing this, Lin Maorong's heart was filled with soreness. After being away for five years, his cousin seemed to be doing well.These western suits are very expensive in department stores, and I only have two sets, so I can't bear to wear them on weekdays.He hasn't taken matters into his own hands, and the money in his pocket was given by Mrs. Lin, but the place where he spends his days and nights on weekdays has disappeared, so he spent a lot of money in the Mingluan class last night for a top card.

He said rather eccentrically, "Brother has been here for so many days, why doesn't he come to play with younger brother?" Lin Weirui used to be cowardly and was often pulled out by Lin Maorong as a mobile purse. idea.

Lin Weirui didn't speak, but glanced at him with a half-smile.His eyes are really sharp, he seems to be a different person compared to before, Lin Maorong is guilty, he is annoyed by him, and he can't remember what he is now, so he will lose his temper like before.After this meeting, Miss Lin San, who was dressed as a schoolgirl, had already stepped forward. Compared with her own brother, she could be regarded as the second householder of the Lin family with outstanding looks.Miss Lin San was always very proud, when she saw her brother and cousin, she just lifted her chin slightly and said hello.

She didn't speak to Lin Weirui at the side, and frowned slightly, "Brother, did you stay up all night last night? Brother is already this old, so let's calm down, read more books, and share some things for parents."

Lin Maorong hated his younger sister the most in his life. Relying on the favor of his grandfather's family, he always looked down on others.Seeing her demolishing him outside, especially in front of Lin Weirui, I felt so depressed that I didn't care about finding fault with Lin Weirui, so I turned the gunfire on her, and said in a vicious voice: "It's better to worry about it." Take care of yourself! I heard that your dear grandfather is planning a marriage for you! Hehe, Lin Ruohe, your ability to hug your thighs has grown over the years! Don’t you just hate why you didn’t reincarnate in Cao’s family in this life!” Cao’s family is the second wife of Lin Her natal family, in Linshi, is engaged in medicinal materials business, but the family has a big business, not much better than the Lin's family, even slightly better.

Lin Ruohe's face turned pale immediately after being exposed in front of her face. After all, she is a daughter's family, no matter how arrogant she is, she has shame.A bad thing like this will ruin your reputation.She never thought that her elder brother would be so stupid, and if he said it directly, his eyes would turn red with anger.

Lin Weirui didn't have a chance to play from the beginning to the end, and only wished that it was too late to leave, and their brothers and sisters began to tear up. Lin Ruohe stared at him vigilantly at this moment, and he also suffered an unreasonable disaster.

Ah Fu has been trembling by the side all the time, for fear that his eldest son will be bullied by the second young master as before.This time, I saw my young master bid farewell to the two of the second room very gentlemanly, but before leaving, he said, "After all, they are brothers and sisters. You still have to check the third sister's marriage, Mao Rong. After all, you will be in charge in the future. Grandfather's family still values ​​you", and left gracefully.

These words made the two of them disgusted, they looked at each other with disgust, became more vigilant, and hated Lin Weirui.

When he got to a remote place, Ah Fu, who had been suppressing his laughter, laughed out, "Young Master, you didn't see just now, the expressions of those two people can be used to perform face-changing on a stage. What you said is really too much." Sorry, this third young lady was smart and well-born since she was a child, and she looked down on the ignorant second young master the most. Her heart is higher than the sky, but it's a pity that it's a girl's family. The second master would rather help the mud than let the third young lady make decisions The third lady is good. Although she is not close to her family, she accidentally got favored by her grandfather's family. The two brothers and sisters are in the same situation now. You said that you asked the second young master to preside over the marriage of the third lady, and you mentioned the matter of the grandfather's side , isn't this adding fuel to the fire! Who doesn't know, this second young master is not as pleasing as the third young lady."

When they came back, it was late in the evening and the smoke was rising. The fat aunt had been busy in the kitchen of the east yard for a while, and when they sat down, the fat aunt came to ask for instructions on how to arrange dinner.After all, in the past few days, I haven't seen the young master eat the food cooked by herself. Also, with that skill, she must be very tricky. She knows how much her skill is, so she is too embarrassed to make a fool of herself.All she cares about is the servants and the young master's food.

Sure enough, Lin Weirui asked, "Are there any crabs left in the kitchen?"

"Yes, there are! They were just delivered in the evening, and each of them is as big as two palms. They are kept in water tanks, and they look fresh."

One crab, hundreds of vegetables.Clean the fat crabs that have just been fished out of the lake, remove the shells and scrape out the tender meat inside for later use, steam the dried scallops for half an hour and crush them, chop the blanched cabbage, mushrooms, and pork sandwich meat, and chop the shrimps in the The starch is rolled in a circle and dyed with beautiful white snow, and finally mixed together and added with seasoning to become the stuffing.

Pull out a small dumpling from the reconciled dough and roll it into an extremely thin dumpling wrapper. The young master's hands wrapped a small crab meat dumpling in less than three seconds, and the fat aunt watched dazzledly.The wrapped dumplings, which are less than half a finger long, are like white jade scallops, and they are neatly lined up in a circle on the end plate, each of them is as tender and cute as a little girl.

This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive dish. During this period, Lin Weirui also made a dish of pheasant melon and eight-treasure tofu.The former pays attention to the heat. The pheasant chicken is skinned and boned and diced, served with pickled melon, winter bamboo shoots, melon kernels, and diced ginger. Add the ingredients and stir-fry. It takes a few minutes. Fragrant and tender.

Wang Taishou Babao tofu is said to be a favorite of Emperor Kangxi, but the recipe has been lost since then. Lin Weirui’s current recipe is something he found out by looking through historical records. I don’t know if it’s different from Emperor Kangxi’s. As Lin Weirui's signature dish, it was once served at a state banquet.

Warm yellow oil lamps, the kitchen is quiet, only the slight sound of firewood burning and the gurgle of water boiling in the pot.Lin Weirui never had a meal when she was young, but later she developed the habit of eating less and not accumulating food, even when she became famous later on.Only three dishes were cooked for this meal, and the final crab meat dumplings can be taken out of the pot after cooking for three to four minutes.

The fat aunt was serving dishes attentively at the side, and she could tell that the eldest young master was a refined man, not only did he change his clothes every day, but he could also follow him in the study to write Same thing, wearing a clean white shirt with vanilla embroidered on the cuffs.Even the food and serving dishes are also particular.Aunt Fat took care of herself one by one, and seeing that the eldest young master next to her didn't frown, she knew that her color scheme was not bad.

He carried it out, and when he raised his head, hey!Squatting or standing at the door of the kitchen, surrounded by a circle of people, led by the young master and Ah Fu, all staring at the food in her hand.Seeing the eldest young master looking over, they all looked down at the ground, swallowing secretly.The kitchen was quiet, as if everyone could be heard swallowing their saliva.

The author has something to say: Swallow, tell the truth, crabs are really cooked, I can eat them all my life, no matter what kind of dish it is!It's a pity that even in the Linhai area, it's still so expensive that I'm going to go bankrupt if I eat it every day.
