Yangcheng

Chapter 44

When the three dishes and one soup were brought to the front hall, the time was just right, and Song Qiao and the others were about to start dinner.

Seeing Tang Jianwei coming with food, Song Qiao's expression changed slightly.

Tong Boyi let out a heartless "wow":

"I don't know what delicious food Tang Sanniang made today! The fragrance is as attractive as ever!"

Song Qiao really didn't see his son.

It can be imagined that if Tong Changting is here, he must be as virtuous as his son!

Song Qiao cleared his throat, and then gave a warning look.

Tong Boyi looked blankly at A Niang, then at his younger sister, and communicated with Tong Shaoqian with his eyes.

What do you mean, aunt?

To shut you up.

……

Tong Boyi immediately shut up and did not speak, but his eyes were still fixed, wanting to know immediately what eye-opening delicacy Tang Jianwei made today.

"Auntie, I'm here to make amends."

As soon as Tang Jianwei came up, he showed his sweet-mouthed magic skills, and after apologizing sincerely, he presented the "gifts" of apology one by one.

Without blinking, Tong Boyi and Tong Shaoqian watched Tang Jianwei lift the upside-down lids one by one.

The first dish was placed in a small steamer. When Tang Jianwei opened it, the heat burst out, making the small and exquisite pork ribs feel like they were on stage.

Tang Jianwei said that this dish is called steamed pork ribs with rice flour. Apart from more than a dozen delicate and plump short ribs, they are properly wrapped with a layer of rice noodles, and some red spices can be vaguely seen.

Tong Boyi immediately thought that the boiled fish that he ate that day also contained a similar spice called Shujiao.Just remembering, already made his index finger twitch, eager to try.

Open the second dish, which is braised pork with braised fish in green glazed petal mouth bowl.

The braised pork is set off by the blue color of the container, making it bright red.The streaky texture of the pork is uniform, and it was originally a large square piece, but Tang Jianwei cut it into bite-sized pieces.

She brought this dish out from the wooden tray, and when she placed it on the table, the braised pork was shaking slightly, and before she ate it, she could already predict its springy texture.

After Tang Jianwei divided the pork belly, he cut up the flatfish.

After the dried fish is cut open, you can clearly see the runny inside. This is the ultimate fish that requires a long and patient cooking time and is extremely expensive!

Tong Shaoqian looked dumbfounded, and wiped his chin out of thin air to make sure that he didn't drooling unknowingly.

Tang Jianwei distributed one braised chicken leg to each person's bowl.

As soon as the chicken legs were placed, the aroma of the chicken penetrated into the sense of smell. Tong Boyi and Tong Shaoqian clearly saw the crystal clear chicken juice between the chicken and the chicken skin, and they had already tore it into their stomachs to accompany their meal.

Tonight's dishes simply refreshed their cognition.

After a rough calculation, I know that the six flatfish alone cost at least 20 taels of silver...

Are the Boling people so extravagant?

Where is eating here? It's all about eating money!

But A Niang was still unmoved, she put her hands on her knees and stared at the table without squinting.

The elders don't move their chopsticks, and the children dare not go beyond the rules. They can only watch the delicious food but can't eat it, which is comparable to torture.

Tang Jianwei said, "There's still soup."

Tong Boyi and Tong Shaoqian simply looked away.

I'm so hungry...but I can't eat it.

Bitter in the heart, invisible to the eye.

Mushroom and vegetable tofu soup was placed in the middle of the table. Tang Jianwei brought everyone's soup bowls and served them one after another.

When serving the soup, she secretly observed that Tong Boyi and Tong Shaoqian clearly wanted to eat it until their hearts itch, but they dared not move.

As for Song Qiao, it seemed as stable as a clock, but in fact, the small details of swallowing saliva could not escape Tang Jianwei's eyes.

The Tong family likes to eat her dishes, and Tang Jianwei has learned about their tastes during this time, and improved some dishes according to the preferences of the Tong family, so that they can conquer the Tong family.

For example, the last small handful of Sichuan pepper is added to the braised pork with braised fish to enhance the flavor.

She knew that because of the humid and cold climate in the southeast, the Tong family's tastes were spicy and salty, and she couldn't stop the taste of Tianhong.

Although there was only the last bit of Shujiao, and he didn't know if he could buy it in the future, but in order to make amends, Tang Jianwei was quite willing to spend it all on this meal.

Divide the Sichuan pepper into two parts, chop the small part, and use it in the steamed pork ribs.

Cut into large portions and add braised pork with braised fish.

Tang Jianwei is still very confident in his cooking skills, and the Tong family will definitely like it.

She has been preparing since this morning, and told Zitan to watch the fire for her to stew the chicken legs and meat first, how long it will take to collect the juice and pack it, and then season it when she comes back, and it will be delivered just in time for dinner.

Using food as a stepping stone is to express your sincerity.

"Niang." Tang Jianwei sat next to Song Qiao, stared into her eyes and said, "There is a reason for the collision with the county magistrate, and it has something to do with me, Ye Niang. I know that no matter what it is related to, I should not let Anian Injured. Any mother would never see her child suffer, let alone such a serious injury. Aniang, I will definitely give you an explanation. Please calm down and forgive me this time. I will do my best to protect her after we get married , will never let her suffer any grievances."

Tang Jianwei spoke extremely sincerely, without any hypocrisy, every word was full of sincerity.

Moreover, Song Qiao knew that she went to the academy for Tong Shaoxuan today, and she was able to prepare three dishes and one soup not long after she came back. She must have been preparing a few days earlier, and she must have woken up early today.

Song Qiao felt a little loose in his heart. In order to be able to eat delicious food quickly and not to waste everything, Tong Shaoqian also began to persuade her mother:

"Yeah, Niang, look at how good their relationship is. They are about to get married, and they will soon be serious partners, and they will be together for the rest of their lives. Ah Niang, do you want to see Ah Nian and her husband?" Is it better if the wife is noisy, or can the two support each other and be like a piano?"

Tong Boyi also followed immediately: "Yes, A Niang, Anian has a gentle temper since she was a child, and she doesn't care much about anything. Don't you keep talking about hoping that she will have someone who cares about things that she cares about?" Son? Now that I have it, Auntie should be happy."

Tong Shaoqian winked at Tang Jianwei, and Tang Jianwei quickly added:

"Aniang, to tell you the truth, since I was a child, besides my family and a young girl, there have been many people who have shown kindness to me, but the only one who can give up and forget myself is Anian.

"People's hearts are fleshy, and so am I. Whoever treats me well, I will treat them twice as well.

"I, Tang Jianwei, have been members of the Tong family and Tong Shaoxuan's wife in this lifetime. If she can do this for me, I can sacrifice my life for her."

Tang Jianwei's oath from the bottom of his heart made Song Qiao's originally stiff face gradually clear up, and it was hard to hide his emotion.

Tong Shaoqian cursed in his heart, his eyes flushed: When will my old lady have such a marriage?

Tong Boyi stared at Tang Jianwei in a daze. He, a bachelor of ten thousand years, had only heard this kind of love story in storybooks and scriptures, and it was the first time he heard it live. I didn't move the chopsticks anymore, I picked up the bowl and picked up the braised pork, and ate it vigorously.

Song Qiao also had some tears in his eyes, and said softly:

"A Nian has been in poor health since she was a child. Other people's children were playing outside and running all over the mountains and plains, but I kept her at home. I was afraid that she would catch a cold and be bedridden for several days. At the age of curiosity, others eat sugar but she takes medicine. I thought there was only ten years of mother-daughter fate, but I didn't expect her to grow up to 15 years old. It was me and her, Aye, who were sorry for her and failed to give her a healthy look. body of……"

The more Song Qiao talked, the more sad he became, and he took up his handkerchief to wipe away his tears.

Tang Jianwei said:

"I don't have any other skills, but I still have some understanding of diet and medicinal diet. I will take care of Ah Nian's body. No matter what method I use, I will take good care of her and make her healthier than before. I have the heart and the ability. Will do what he says."

Whether it's promises or actions, Tang Jianwei has done his best. If Song Qiao makes things difficult for her again, he's afraid that he will gain the reputation of making things difficult for his daughter-in-law and evil mother-in-law.

Most importantly, Song Qiao was just angry at her for being too impulsive this time, and he didn't have much malice towards her.

Song Qiao held her hand: "Okay, I will keep everything you said today in my heart, and I will wait for it to be fulfilled in the future. If you treat Anian badly, our family will not forgive you."

When Tang Jianwei saw her saying this, he forgave himself. He was so excited that he wanted to hug her directly, but he was afraid that she would not be used to this kind of intimacy, so he had to hold back.

"Don't worry, Auntie! If one day I fail Anian, don't say you guys won't forgive me, even I can't forgive myself!"

"Okay, let's eat. Don't let the food you have worked so hard to get cold."

With Song Qiao's words, Tong Shaoqian started immediately!

Just picked up the chopsticks to pick up the pork belly, but found that a corner is missing?

"Brother?! Why are you stealing it by yourself?!" Tong Shaoqian was shocked, "Not only did you eat pork belly, but you also lost a row of ribs! Auntie! Look at him! You are still talking, this hungry The ghost only cares about eating!"

Song Qiao frowned, and said to Tong Boyi: "Zian, why are you so unruly?"

Three dishes and one soup Tong Boyi has already swept through the meal, and has already started serving the second bowl of rice.

The rich aroma and pungentness of the meat made his lips turn red and his scalp numb. His appetite was so strong that he wanted to jump onto the plate and eat it directly!

Even if A Niang taught him a lesson, he didn't have time to pay attention to it, and continued to eat after a formal apology.

Song Qiao: "..."

Is it so delicious? !

No, Song Qiao has to taste it immediately.

The chopsticks in Tong Shaoqian's hand danced quickly, and he immediately grabbed a piece of steamed pork ribs.

The rice noodles on the outer layer are soft and glutinous with the meaty aroma of the pork ribs, and the meat of the pork ribs is steamed well enough that it will not be too rotten and can be easily separated with the tongue.

The most surprising thing is among the rice noodles and pork ribs.

"hiss--"

The ribs were so tasty that Tong Shaoqian didn't taste the spiciness until he ate three pieces.

I didn't expect that just put some chili powder, there is such a strong spicy!

But this spicy and boiled fish is different.

In addition to the hot and spicy red pepper, the boiled fish also added the local popular pepper.Spicy and spicy blend together, stimulating the mouth to be hot and sweating profusely.

The spiciness of the steamed pork ribs is well controlled, and it will not steal the aroma of the meat at all, but it can perfectly match the aroma of the meat and stimulate more appetite.

Braised Pork with Braised Fish in Braised Fish is also spicy, which is more spicy than steamed pork ribs, but it is still well balanced.

Tong Shaoqian thought that the flathead would be very hard, but Tang Jianwei handled it very well to bite. The flatfish is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, even people with bad teeth can easily bite it open.

And the taste is very unique.

Tong Shaoqian bit down this noble delicacy with an extraordinarily pious heart, and found that it was expensive for a reason.

The strong aquatic flavor and unexpected sweetness fill the mouth, which is a complex and rich flavor.

Different from the softness of rice noodles, the softness and glutinousness of the bonito fish stick to the teeth. After eating, there is a lingering fragrance in the mouth. It is a taste feast that cannot be replaced by any other ingredients.

Tong Shaoqian, who has been sewing and mending a padded jacket for three years, never imagined that one day he would be able to eat top-quality fish.

"Tang Sanniang, how much money did you get for such a big fish? Tell me the truth!"

"Does my sister think it's delicious?"

"It's delicious! My soul is almost gone!"

Tang Jian squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's good as long as it's delicious, why bother asking about the price."

"But……"

"Hey!" Tong Boyi couldn't listen anymore, "What kind of money is there to mention, vulgar! I've insulted my sister's kindness!"

Tong Shaoqian: "...You swallow that piece of chicken in your mouth before you talk! Mother, look at your brother! You can't stop his mouth after eating!"

Song Qiao is used to drinking soup before eating. This mushroom vegetable tofu soup looks very common. It seems to be a side dish soup that every household will make.

After the entrance, the unexpected deliciousness immediately captured Song Qiao's heart!

She never expected that such a bowl of seemingly ordinary mushroom soup could be made with such a delicious taste.

Song Qiao didn't talk to Tong Shaoqian at all, and after drinking two bowls, he was almost full, so he put the soup bowl aside, and went to taste the other three dishes with great anticipation.

Ji Xue came over to pack some food and send it directly to Tong Shaoxuan's room, Tang Jianwei said to her:

"I've prepared her meal, and I'll send it right away."

Tong Shaoxuan eagerly waited for the dinner tonight.

Among the three dishes and one soup, what she wanted most was steamed pork ribs.

She has never eaten this dish before, so she can't imagine how the pork ribs will taste when steamed with some kind of flour.

In fact, braised pork should also be delicious, and braised chicken drumsticks may also be her favorite.

The only thing that she wasn't interested in was the soup. She didn't really like soup or fungi, and she couldn't stand it together.

I just want to eat meat!

Tong Shaoxuan has been able to sit up these days, but he doesn't dare to let the wound touch the chair surface. Instead, the posture of kneeling is more able to control his strength, so as to avoid the newly healed wound from being tortured again.

The front hall is full of high chairs, so she doesn't go to the front hall, but eats in her own room.

"Tang Jianwei hasn't come yet..."

Tong Shaoxuan couldn't lie down any longer, stood up with difficulty while holding the head of the bed, opened the window to reveal a pair of big eyes looking forward to the direction of the corridor.

A slim figure came from a distance, holding a wooden plate in his hand.

It's Tang Jianwei!She is coming!

Tong Shaoxuan strode back to the desk with a limp while supporting his waist, gritted his teeth and sat down on his knees, picked up the notes and seemed to read them seriously, chanting aloud.

Tang Jianwei knocked on the door, Tong Shaoxuan said casually:

"Come in."

"Why did you get up?" Tang Jianwei put the wooden tray on the desk, knelt and sat opposite Tong Shaoxuan, "You got up by yourself?"

"Of course I got up by myself, I am very strong."

"I don't really want to eat, are you in a hurry?"

Tong Shaoxuan glanced slightly at Tang Jian.

Could this woman be able to read minds?Or is my play not good enough?

"How is it possible, I'm just tired from lying down, so I just get up and move my body."

After Tong Shaoxuan retorted calmly, it seemed as if he had just discovered that there seemed to be food in the semicircular lid turned upside down on the tray.

"Is this my dinner?"

Tang Jian nodded slightly.

"Did you bring some of the dishes?"

Based on the size of the copper lid, Tong Shaoxuan speculated that there should not be enough space for three dishes and one soup, but at most two palm-sized bowls.

Tang Jianwei propped his chin with one hand, and smiled with a big arc:

"Guess it."

"What's so good about guessing, I'll know when I open it!"

Tong Shaoxuan lifted the lid and almost went blind.

"Me, where are my braised pork ribs and chicken drumsticks? Why only mushroom soup?!"

"What's your attitude? There's still a bowl of fish soup in front of your eyes. How can you pretend you didn't see it?"

"Is this a question of how many bowls of soup? This is a question of only soup! Didn't you say that there are three dishes tonight? Where's my meat?!"

Tong Shaoxuan became anxious, revealing his true colors.

Sure enough, teasing Tong Shaoxuan was the most interesting, Tang Jianwei met her questioning, and said unhurriedly:

"There is no meat, only soup."

"Tang Jianwei, you lied to me?! Did you agree to let me wait?"

"Yeah, just wait, I will always cook for you."

"??"

"But before you recover from your injury, you should not eat too greasy and spicy food. Drink more nutritious soup, which can help you recover quickly."

"..."

"Come on, which bowl of soup do you plan to drink first?"

Tong Shaoxuan knew that she was right, but he was wronged.

"Tang Jianwei, I want to eat meat, braised pork."

"Oh, think about it."

"........."

"Isn't fish delicious? You have to eat pork, it's so greasy." Tang Jianwei handed her the spoon, but she didn't intend to take it.

"You don't eat by yourself, are you waiting for me to feed you? Okay, open your mouth and I'll feed you."

"Tang Jianwei, you can't bully people like this every time!" Tong Shaoxuan immediately snatched the spoon away.

"I usually don't bully people. I only bully when the little calf is misbehaving. It's a little hot, drink it slowly."

What Tong Shaoxuan could do was to drink.

After taking a few sips, Tong Shao paused.

"Why, isn't it good to drink?"

"It's delicious...but, I thought I could eat meat tonight."

Tong Shao's drooping eyebrows are so pitiful that Tang Jian almost softens his heart.

"Drink soup tonight. If your injury is better, you can eat meat."

"Really?! So what is good?"

"Take off your pants and let me see."

"...Can you keep your mouth open?"

Tang Jianwei looked at Tong Shaoxuan's bright red face happily: "Whenever you can walk in a straight line by yourself, I will serve you big meat. You can choose any meat you want, and you can choose any flavor. How about it? Righteousness?"

Unexpectedly, Tong Shaoxuan was completely devoid of excitement, and was still depressed:

"When will we have to wait..."

"As long as I do what you eat, within ten days, it's guaranteed."

"real?!"

"Why did I lie to you? Hey, from tonight, now obediently drink two bowls of soup, don't lie down on the bed immediately after drinking, if you can, go for a walk in the yard. I really can't move around the house. It’s okay to walk, but you have to move anyway. I was injured when I was practicing martial arts before. That’s what the doctor told me. It hurts a little, but it’s good to bear it. Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Although it’s not as serious as your injury , but the reason is the same, do I have the same drive to draw inferences as you?"

"Tang Jianwei, I think you are a little different today."

"What's different?"

After Tong Shaoxuan took a sip of the soup, he lowered his head and said, "I don't feel like the leader of the ax gang anymore."

"... When did I pass it? Hurry up and drink!"

"You can't boast, and once you boast, it will change your taste."

Tong Shaoxuan found that the mushroom soup and fish soup tasted very different from the soup she remembered.

In the past, whenever Aunt He made soup, it was tasteless and tasteless like washing pot water, and it was extremely hot. Tong Shaoxuan usually didn't like to drink it after two sips, and he also developed a habit of disliking soup.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jianwei's soup was completely different.

Delicious and delicate, and the temperature is right, just right for the entrance.

The thick soup flowed into the body, quickly dispelling the cold, Tong Shaoxuan did not expect that he could finish the two bowls in one go, and even felt a little unhappy.

"Look, don't you like to drink this? It seems that you don't like soup, and you drink it up when you drink something that suits your taste? After drinking it, go for a walk to digest food? Are you able to move?"

"Don't underestimate me!"

As soon as Tong Shaoxuan mentioned it, Tang Jianwei hurried forward to help her:

"What are you reckless, if you fall and knock again, your mother's fire that just died down will probably be kicked up again, so you can save me from worrying."

Tang Jianwei took Tong Shaoxuan by the arm and took her for a slow walk in the yard, walking along the veranda.

"My aunt didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Tong Shaoxuan asked worriedly as he heard the bamboo grove rustling in the wind.

"No." Tang Jianwei said, "Although your mother loves you very much, she is also a reasonable person. After I sincerely apologize to her and promise, she will not care about me."

"Promise? What did you promise?"

"After I promise to marry you, I will take care of you for the rest of my life and treat you well."

The light of the gauze lantern swayed gently above his head, and Tong Shaoxuan lowered his head to see her and Tang Jianwei's shadows cuddling each other.

I don't know when they started to have an intimate relationship.

Tang Jianwei couldn't hear her reply, so he knew that the child was probably shy again.

Since I'm already shy, let's not ask about that painting for now.

Save it for later when you want to tease her and ask.

A gust of cold wind blows, and I feel that there is someone beside me who can rely on and exchange body temperature with each other. Suddenly, I feel very good.

The new year is coming soon, besides preparing for the wedding before the first month, Tang Jianwei also plans to take advantage of the major festivals at the beginning of the year to make a good fortune.

According to the law of Da Cang, the night market will be open for the whole month of the first lunar month.

The vacation time in the first month accounts for more than half, but any businessman who still wants to do business cannot miss the good opportunity to make money in the first month.

In addition to the early stalls, Tang Jianwei is also ready to set up a stall at the night market.

Kebabs are the main dish in the night market.
