Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss

Three days later, the Kaifeng government held a public trial and execution of King Xiangyang, Deng Che, Zhang Hua, Hong Shier and others, which attracted many people in Tokyo to watch.

As soon as the dragon's head fell, the blood spattered three feet. The common people cheered and lamented that King Xiangyang died well.

When Red Twelve was beheaded, Red Twelve never saw Bao Zheng mentioning the great things his lord had done, so he shouted excitedly to the people, wanting to publicize how powerful his lord was.But as soon as he yelled the word "respected lord", he was gagged by the yamen servant, dragged to the dog's head, and chopped off his head.

"Hey, what did the prisoner want to shout just now?"

"I heard him calling some kind of pig. Could it be that he wanted to eat pork before he died? He is so beautiful! He killed so many people, but he still wants to eat meat, so don't give it to him!"

"By the way, Master Bao just mentioned that King Xiangyang colluded with Lin Xi. Who is Lin Xi?"

"I haven't heard of it, I guess it's some unknown gangster."

……

After all, Red Twelve failed to fulfill his wish, and the Kaifeng Mansion did not disclose all the crimes committed by Lin Xi to the public.Where he needs to be mentioned, he is simply mentioned by name.This is a decision made by Bao Zheng after discussing with officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. In order to avoid the bad guy Mu Qiang in the future, Lin Xi will be used as an example, and he will be regarded as a legend, and everyone will follow suit.

This kind of treacherous and evil person should rot quietly in the soil, and he is not worthy of being mentioned by the world.

After the trial, Su Yuan ushered in an extra reward from the emperor.

The last time he went to the palace to face the saint, Su Yuan exchanged the lives of Su Fangming and others with his own merits. The emperor didn't give Su Yuan any more rewards. At that time, because he was angry with her, he sent her away with a full face of displeasure.

Now that the thorough review of the case is over, when the emperor reads the memorial again, he gradually realizes that the imperial court will need a genius like Su Yuan very much in the future.So the emperor decided to reward Su Yuan with something, but because she had paid her life for her meritorious service before, she could no longer reward her with an official title.

After asking Bao Zheng's opinion, the emperor finally decided to vote for Su Yuan, and rewarded Su Yuan with two cows.

The rewards of the two cows came very timely. Su Yuan was about to prepare a hot pot dinner for everyone, and the rewarded beef could be used for hot pot.

First cut the beef, and divide the whole head of freshly slaughtered beef into parts. The tenderloin, outer spine, upper brain, eye meat and other parts are put in the freezer to freeze, so as to cut out thick and uniform beef rolls.

Beef bone sticks are used to make soup, beef tendon is stuffed with sauce, beef tendon head is stewed in a pot in a braised method, beef offal is stewed slowly with radish and water, and the remaining butter is used to fry the butter hot pot base.

After the butter is heated, put all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, spices and pepper into the pot, and saute it instantly, covering the whole mansion with the aroma of butter, and passers-by can't help but salivate when they smell it.

Su Yuan specially reserved four beef legs for making beef balls.After chopping the beef leg meat, put it on a large chopping board and beat it hard with a sledgehammer weighing twenty or thirty catties.If the beef balls are to be tender and delicious, all the kung fu is on the meat. Su Yuan happens to be physically strong enough. With her kung fu, she can definitely make the most delicious hand-beaten beef balls in the world.

When Bai Yutang came to look for Su Yuan, he saw that she was doing such a job, so he went to wash his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to beat the meat for Su Yuan.Su Yuan didn't use him, but Bai Yutang insisted, asking her why.

"I'm afraid that if you are careless, you won't be able to make the best beef balls in the world."

"According to what you said, it's not bad at all, is it feasible?" Bai Yutang asked after discussing.

"Ok."

Su Yuan told Bai Yutang to wait. She took off her apron and put it on for Bai Yutang.The apron was sewn by Mrs. Zhang for Su Yuan. According to Su Yuan's request, two rabbit ears were specially sewed on the chest.

After Bai Yutang put on the apron, he looked down at the rabbit ears on the apron.

"Don't get your white clothes dirty." Su Yuan explained, and was about to go to other things, "Then I'll prepare duck intestines and yellow throat."

Bai Yutang agreed, and immediately picked up the square sledgehammer.

In that room, there are cooks from Baifu, Sun He, cook Zhang and others to help prepare dishes. Vegetarian dishes include winter melon, yam, spinach, coriander, etc. In addition, they also cook sour plum soup and make crystal soap and other sweets.Because there are many people eating, the amount of dishes prepared is large, and it takes a long time to prepare even simple dishes.

During the process of beating the beef, Bai Yutang followed Su Yuan's instructions and carefully added seasonings.Finally, he put the mashed beef into the big basin, and was about to ask Su Yuan what to do next, when he heard his elder brother Lu Fang's voice from the south.

"Brothers and sisters, we are here to help!"

Jiang Ping rolled up his sleeves and talked behind Lu Fang: "We have so many people eating, there must be a lot of work—"

The four mice looked at Bai Yutang at the same time, and their eyes fell on Bai Yutang's chest in unison.

"Hehe, these two ears are so cute." Han Zhang said.

Lu Fang, Han Zhang, and Jiang Ping couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing.

Bai Yutang glanced at them coldly, and the four of them immediately fell silent, not daring to laugh anymore, but blushing.

Bai Yutang assigned the four of them the work of chopping firewood, carrying water, picking and washing vegetables.

The four of them looked at Bai Yutang, did they entrust them with the most tiring and rough work in the kitchen?

Seeing that the four of them hadn't moved, Bai Yutang asked, "Isn't it because you want to help? You're not sincere?"

"Of course sincerely, we will do it." Han Zhang agreed, he hurriedly stopped Jiang Ping who was about to speak, but he still didn't stop Jiang Ping's quick mouth.

"I think you are just trying to get revenge on us, so you deliberately arranged jobs for us like this." Jiang Ping retorted Bai Yutang.

"Of course the hard and tiring ones should be done by men. Could it be the other way around, you make light ones and let those women do the tiring ones? Then you have the nerve to say that you are helping?"

Bai Yutang smoothed the apron with his hands, which shows that he cherishes this apron with rabbit ears very much.

"She tied it for me herself."

Jiang Ping: "..."

I wasn't envious at first, but after hearing Bai Yutang's words of showing off, I was really envious.

"This apron is interesting." Lu Fang praised the apron for its beauty, and then whispered to Bai Yutang, "Get me another one later, and give it to your sister-in-law."

Bai Yutang glanced at the busy Su Yuan over there, and said that he would ask Lu Fang some questions when he had time.

"People like us who don't have a wife can only pick vegetables dryly." Han Zhang hugged Jiang Ping and sighed.

Jiang Ping sighed, feeling that Bai Yutang's casual words could arouse everyone's envy for him.

Jiang Ping thought that his envy was the most, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

When the sun was rising, everyone gathered in the White Mansion. This time, not only Bao Zheng, Wang Chao and others who used to have dinner together in Kaifeng Mansion, but also the Four Rats, Su Fangming's family, Yan Chasan and Zhou Laojuan's family .

Judge Zhou has a complete set of children and grandchildren. There are eight grandchildren in total. The children are lively when they come, and their laughter can be heard everywhere, adding a lot of joy to the atmosphere.

Today's hot pot banquet is very different from the past. It refers to the arrangement of Qushui Liushang and makes a real flowing water banquet.

The banquet was held in the back garden of the Baifu. Now the autumn scenery is just right, and it is just right to enjoy the autumn scenery while eating under the shade of trees.

There happened to be a spring in the back garden located on a gentle slope, with a large amount of water, so a waterway was built to take advantage of the flowing water, and the water would flow down the slope slowly.

This waterway was built as early as the day before yesterday. Su Yuan thought of this place when she promised to eat pots for everyone, and asked Bai Fu to help her build such a waterway to give everyone some new tricks.

Set up a table on both sides of the waterway, place a copper hot pot on the table, add a red charcoal fire to the hot pot, and boil the beef soup in the pot until it boils.On the hillside, the cook puts the extruded meatballs, shrimp balls, freshly cut meat rolls, duck blood and other fresh ingredients on the plate, and then puts the plate with the ingredients on the water, so that the plate slowly flows with the water. shed.

Everyone took the ingredients they were interested in and put them on the table, and put them in the pot while they were fresh.In addition, there are also hot dishes such as braised tendon head, fresh fried crispy pork, radish and beef offal soup, etc. Drinks such as iced green plum wine, sour plum soup, and lychee cream water are also placed on the table separately, allowing everyone to take whatever they like use.

The joy of eating hot pot is to do it yourself. While everyone is busy, there are endless conversations and laughter, and it is lively.

After the hot pot started, the first thing Jiang Ping stuffed into his mouth was beef balls, and his eyes went straight when he chewed.He was also afraid that he was ignorant, so he quietly turned his eyes to observe Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and other literati, and found that their expressions were not much different from his own.Jiang Ping knew that the meatballs were really delicious, and everyone was amazed.The meatballs are chewy, but the taste is still very tender. It seems that there are crispy tendons inside. It is a bit crunchy when bitten. When eaten with sauce, it is so delicious that it is almost ecstasy.

Every time Jiang Ping stuffed a mouthful of beef balls into his mouth, he couldn't help crying with envy.

His wife and wife are envious of Fifth Brother!The future wife of the fifth brother not only has good looks, good figure, high martial arts, but also such excellent cooking skills.Especially cooking skills, who else can cook beef balls, he will definitely marry.

Jiang Ping couldn't help looking at the table at Su Yuan in Baiyu Hall to the east. The two were serving each other's food, talking and laughing happily.

No, I can't watch it anymore, he is almost going crazy with envy.

The fifth brother is so lucky!Give him a little bit of luck!I beg God to reward him with a good wife too!

Zhao Hu happily ate three beef balls in a row, when Jiang Ping, who was at the same table, suddenly closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, as if he was praying for something.After Zhao Hu curiously asked Jiang Ping why, thinking about the lack of a daughter-in-law, he prayed with Jiang Ping, if it would be useful.

After Ma Han and Zhang Long listened, they followed suit.

At their table, there were two grandsons of Judge Zhou, one was 14 years old and the other was 13 years old. Both of them were old enough to discuss marriage, so they hurriedly joined in the fun.

As a result, more than half of the people at this table were praying with their hands folded.The rest of the people, such as Wang Chao, had just returned from fetching vegetables from the waterway. Seeing everyone like this, he didn't know what was going on, so he followed the same action in a daze.

Under the introduction of Su Yuan, Zhan Zhao tried the duck intestines. The taste was slightly crispy, but the taste was surprisingly good.

As he was praising, Zhan Zhao noticed that the dynasty and Jiang Ping's table were all clasping their hands and closing their eyes.Seeing this, Su Xi and Sun He at the next table started to follow suit.

"They are?" Zhan Zhao asked puzzled.

Su Yuan guessed: "Pray before meals?"

"I once heard that there is a custom in the Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces. If you are lucky enough to eat beef, put your hands together and pray devoutly before eating, and you will be as strong as a cow, healthy, and your martial arts will soar. Of course, this is just a rumor, and it may not be accurate."

Gongsun Ce found out that he had put five balls in the pot just now, but when he thought about picking them up, he couldn't find any of them.

Gongsun Ce saw one beef ball in Bao Zheng's bowl to the right, and two beef balls in Zhan Zhao's bowl to the left.He is not a person who cares about eating in one bite, but because today's beef balls are so delicious and the quantity is limited, if he doesn't care about it, he will really lose.

"There is still such a custom."

Zhan Zhao immediately closed his eyes and put his palms together in prayer.Good health and soaring martial arts are the dreams of every martial arts practitioner, and he is no exception.

Gongsun Ce took the opportunity to take away a beef ball and ate it.

When Bai Yutang was listening to Gongsun Ce talk about the customs of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, he wondered why he was a local and had never heard of this custom.Seeing Gongsun Ce snatch Zhan Zhao's beef balls in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and touch Su Yuan beside him.

While putting the meat roll into his mouth, Su Yuan looked over and saw Gongsun Ce booing them.

Over there, Bao Zheng was concentrating on cooking the meat, so he didn't notice Gongsun Ce's small movements at all.

Su Yuan snickered.

After Zhan Zhao finished praying, he saw that there was only one beef ball left in his bowl. He was a little puzzled. He turned his head to see that Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce were busy cooking meat by themselves, so it was hard for him to ask more questions.Silently ate the only meatballs left, he rushed to grab a plate of beef meatballs and came back.

A total of eight meatballs were put into the pot, and when Zhan Zhao wanted to eat, he didn't get any of them.Zhan Zhao looked sideways at Gongsun Ce who was eating meatballs beside him, saw him smile at him, and felt hurt.

On the other side, Bao Zheng silently chewed his sixth beef ball, and continued to boil the meat contentedly.

Su Yuan smiled secretly, and sighed softly to Bai Yutang: "Master Bao is a must with meatballs."

When the beef balls are just cooked, you can seize the right timing and take the lead, you are definitely a king.Earlier, the meatballs were uncooked and could not be eaten; later, the meatballs were all robbed and could not be eaten.

"I'm afraid it's because of the insight into the subtleties that I accurately controlled the changes at the moment when the meatballs were fully cooked." Bai Yutang said.

Su Yuan nodded in admiration, "As expected of the leader of Kaifeng Mansion, if you get serious at the dinner table, no one will compete."

After the hot pot banquet, everyone ate to their heart's content and had a great time, but there was still something left to say.

Bao Zheng quietly rubbed his full belly, then smiled and said goodbye to everyone.

He thought in his heart that when Su Yuan made meritorious service next time, he must lobby the emperor to reward Su Yuan with a few more cows. Hand-made beef balls are really delicious, and they can be frozen and stored after making them, so stock up more.

Su Yuan wanted to go with Su Fangming and the others, so she came to say goodbye to Bai Yutang.

"The seventh day of next month is a good day." Bai Yutang quietly hooked Su Yuan's finger, "You said that this case is over, and we will get married as soon as possible."
