Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Bai Yutang smelled the fragrance and looked around, and first took a look at the strange-looking stove, which was a bit interesting.Then his eyes finally fell on those meat skewers that were tossed and turned over the charcoal fire. The oil in the meat was oozing out, exuding a vaguely scented aroma.

When it was almost done with the naked eye, the little cook sprinkled some powder on the meat skewers, and with a whoosh, the charcoal fire underneath suddenly burst into flames, and a strong smell of meat wafted out, making people salivate.

"What is this?" Bai Yutang's curious eyes fell on Zhao Hanyan.

Zhan Zhao jumped down from the roof at this moment, walked to Bai Yutang, and asked him, "Have all the five mouse brothers come to Tokyo?"

"Yes and so what," Bai Yutang answered in a displeased tone, and then ignored Zhan Zhao, insisting on asking Zhao Hanyan repeatedly, "What is this?"

This is his last patience, if the cook still ignores him, he will lose his patience and consider doing something, such as making a fuss and grabbing the meat in the chaos.

Zhao Hanyan, who was grilling meat, heard Bai Yutang's heartfelt voice at this moment: This skewered meat on bamboo sticks is very fresh and looks delicious, I must try it.But Bai Yutang should be the only one who made troubles in Kaifeng Mansion just for ordering something, hahaha...

Bai Yutang raised his arm and was about to strike, when suddenly a hot scent came over his face.Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, and saw the little cook handing him a bunch of meat skewers.

"When you come, you are my friend, please eat." Zhao Hanyan smiled at Bai Yutang.

This guy really has a child's heart, and he wants to 'make trouble' just to skewer meat.She doesn't want to cause trouble. After all, it's easy to coax people with a few skewers of meat, so why not do it.

Bai Yutang hesitated for a moment, since the little cook gave him face, he would naturally give him back.Then he took the meat skewers and took a bite unceremoniously. The mellow aroma of the crispy and tender mutton filled his mouth, which made people feel satisfied immediately.

Zhan Zhao had just sensed the 'murderous aura' in Bai Yutang's body, and had already made defensive preparations, but he didn't expect to turn around and make him eat like a child after a few skewers of mutton.This Bai Yutang was really straightforward, Zhan Zhao smiled, and invited Bai Yutang to sit with them, eating meat and drinking with them all.

Bai Yutang was not so friendly to Zhan Zhao, "Go and eat, I'm here to accompany Zhao Han, and I came here for him today."

Zhan Zhao knew that he had a temper, so he couldn't persuade him, so he simply ignored him and turned to Zhao Hu's side.

Bai Yutang ate the meat skewers in two or three bites, sighed inwardly that the meat skewers were delicious, and silently composed a poem of praise.But on the surface, he didn't show liking at all, and kept a cold face, in case the little cook found out his true thoughts.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan, who had been busy with his head down, and took another look. He was wearing a plain green robe, with a handsome white face, and a pair of sharp eyebrows that were very eye-catching, dark and thick, which added to his heroism.Small nose, small mouth, very delicate.After all, it has a pleasing appearance that does not cause people to be jealous, and "pleasing" is suitable for both men, women and children, and it is not aggressive at all.

After a while, Bai Yutang said to Zhao Hanyan: "The taste is not bad, how did you come up with the idea?"

"Just think about it, do you eat spicy food?" Zhao Hanyan put the freshly baked crucian carp on the plate.

"As long as it tastes good, any flavor is fine." Bai Yutang immediately replied.

Zhao Hanyan couldn't help laughing, but she likes diners like Bai Yutang who don't pick anything.Every ingredient has its own unique taste, and the indispensable fusion can achieve the most rich and layered taste of the dish.If you are not picky eaters, you will not miss it, which is very good.

"Have you eaten tonight?" Zhao Hanyan asked again.

"No." Bai Yutang was slightly puzzled by this question, so he looked at Zhao Hanyan unwaveringly, wondering what Zhao Hanyan would do after learning his answer.

Zhao Hanyan took the bean curd skin and spread it on the chopping board, divided it into eight parts, took out a part of the lotus leaf rice left over from dinner, spread a thin layer on the bean curd skin, and then put the eight crucian carp fillets that had just been roasted to a crispy outer layer Put it on the rice, brush the surface with a layer of sweet and spicy sauce, sprinkle with cumin, cooked sesame seeds, and crushed mushroom legs. After rolling, the excess beancurd skin at both ends is tied with roasted soft old leeks, and deep-fried.Take it out when the fire goes down, and only let the outer layer of bean curd skin reach the crispy effect.

Zhao Hanyan then wrapped three of them in lotus leaves for Bai Yutang, and sent the rest to Zhan Zhao and Zhao Hu.

This way of eating is fresh, take a bite, the crispy fried bean curd skin on the outer layer and the crispy grilled crucian carp on the inner layer form two completely different crispy textures, beans, fish, rice and sweet and spicy sauces, enhance Fragrant sesame, cumin and scallions blend perfectly.It is worth mentioning that this dish is actually not hot, but the outer skin is a little hot after passing through the oil residue, and the rice, fish and green onion inside are cold, but it is very refreshing to eat in summer. Does not make the body hot and sweaty.

Bai Yutang couldn't stop talking, and neither could he say in his heart: It's delicious!Very delicious!Today's trip was not in vain, and this little cook named Zhao Han did not disappoint me.From the time I ate lotus leaf chicken, I knew that this cook was extraordinary, and now I just feel that it is even more extraordinary.The cooking of the third-class cook is not bad, the cooking of the second-class cook is delicious, and the first-class cook will create delicious new dishes.I was lucky enough to meet the rarest first-class cook today.

Bai Yutang swept away the three meat rolls with bean curd, rice and fish, and looked at Zhao Hanyan with appreciation in his eyes.

"The crucian carp has many spines and is small. Except for making soup, I didn't think it was delicious at first, but I have seen it today. Even the spines of your baked crucian carp are crispy and delicious." Bai Yutang, who had already enjoyed his appetite, began to praise Zhao Hanyan without hesitation, "Four It’s rare for Brother to have a good eye, and I’m committed to you as a friend.”

Bai Yutang tore off the jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to Zhao Hanyan, "If you have any difficulties in the future, little brother, take this jade pendant to the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building, and I will come to help."

"Okay, but I don't need to give it to the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building. I will give it back to you. I will use it now." Zhao Hanyan smiled.

"Now?" Bai Yutang was a little surprised, and said to Zhao Hanyan, "Please tell me what you need."

"Just listen to what I have to say." Zhao Hanyan smiled slightly, "Royal Cat is the title that the sage gave Zhan Huwei on a whim. It has no other meaning, and it is not aimed at anyone."

"How do you know—" Bai Yutang frowned, "Okay, I know."

Bai Yutang took back the jade pendant, bid farewell to Zhao Hanyan with his arms folded, jumped, jumped again, and disappeared on the eaves.

Zhan Zhao heard the movement, looked up, and then walked up to Zhao Hanyan, "Why did you leave?"

"Probably confused by my question, I guess Jiang Ping might be in trouble." Zhao Hanyan smiled mischievously, put the baked ham and mushrooms on a plate, and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao originally wanted to ask Zhao Hanyan what the problem was, but when he saw the 'new taste' coming again, he forgot to ask, took it with a smile, and then invited Zhao Hanyan to eat with them quickly.

"It'll be fine soon, I'll go later."

In the middle of the night, all the guests in the Tianzihao room on the second floor of the Zhuangyuan Building were woken up by a loud noise.

Then everyone heard a man outside twittering and shouting 'not me', "you trust an outsider", "you like the new and dislike the old" and so on.All the residents protested and stretched their necks to look out, but they didn't see anyone. Then they heard a sound of stepping on tiles above their heads, and it was completely quiet after that.But everyone was so troubled that they lost sleepiness, and they easily felt hungry in the middle of the night.For this reason, Zhuangyuanlou sold a lot of snacks and went out, making a lot of money.

……

The next day, Zhao Hanyan specially prepared mushroom omelette and eel porridge for the little girl for breakfast.After breakfast, Zhao Hanyan took the little girl to catch butterflies in a small garden west of Kaifeng Mansion.When she was tired from playing, Zhao Hanyan took the little girl to sit down on the rock together and asked her name.

The little girl couldn't speak, but looked at Zhao Hanyan urgently with her eyes, and suddenly remembered something, stood up and pointed to a row of orchids at the bottom of the wall over there.

"Lan in your name?"

The little girl nodded.

"Don't worry, big brother will know your name." Zhao Hanyan handed over a piece of dim sum, "First think about whether the dim sum is delicious, and then immediately think of your and your family's names."

The little girl nodded, and then said from her heart: The sweet snacks given by the big brother are the best. My name is Qian Menglan, my father's name is Qian Shu, mother Zheng's, big brother Qian Jiang, and second brother Qian He.

Zhao Hanyan smiled and patted the little girl on the head: "You are so smart, since you have Lan in your name, how about I call you Lan Er from now on?"

The little girl nodded hurriedly, a little excited.

After Zhao Hanyan handed Lan'er to Xiuzhu's care, he turned around and went directly to Bao Zheng.

"Oh? Brother Zhao changed his mind?" Bao Zheng asked in surprise. He has always liked to support talents. If Brother Zhao is willing to join their Kaifeng Mansion, he will naturally welcome them.

"Yes, but I'm a bit greedy. I want to have my cake and eat it too. Can the cook catch both quickly?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

"It's not greedy. One person can serve two purposes. On the contrary, I took advantage." Bao Zheng sighed, and agreed to Zhao Hanyan's request very simply, "There are so many affairs under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion, it is really difficult for Bao to cover everything. I am relieved to have you assist Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Weiwei and others in the investigation."

"Thank you for your love, my lord." Zhao Hanyan cupped his hands in thanks.

Bao Zheng told Zhao Hanyan not to be polite.

"My lord, Lord Yan, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, has arrived." The visitor passed on a message.

Zhao Hanyan's eyeballs moved.The servant of the Ministry of Punishment, surnamed Yan, must be Yan Shu, and she wanted to meet him.

Zhan Zhao hurried in at this time, and reported back: "Just received the report, a naked body appeared in Room [-], Tianzi, Zhuangyuan Building."
