Wang Baochuan, the foodie of time travel

Wang Baochuan took a bath and followed Li Feibai home with a wooden basin. Although neither of them talked much, she was not as embarrassed as when she was with Luo Erniang just now.

After returning home, Li Feibai followed Wang Baochuan's instructions and arranged things one by one. Wang Baochuan rolled up his sleeves and was about to start cooking, but Li Feibai said he wanted to go out for a bath, so Wang Baochuan agreed with a big wave of his hand.

Wang Baochuan first placed the ingredients as needed, hung the spices and seasonings on the wall to let the wind blow, threw the pork into the pot, and started to boil the lard.

With that well, Wang Baochuan felt that everything was much more convenient.

She planned to make locust leaves first. After washing the locust leaves, pound them into a green juice with a stone pestle, and set it aside. The whole backyard could smell the fragrance of locust leaves. The juice was green and transparent, and the color was bright.

Then, she started kneading the noodles in the patio in the backyard, and sifted the wheat flour. She didn't want to sieve the noodles too finely. The slightly rough texture actually tastes better.

Beat a few eggs, take out the egg whites, put the egg yolks aside to dry, then use a wooden spoon to add the locust tree leaf juice into the dough according to a certain proportion from the stone mortar, and sure enough, the dough starts to show a refreshing green color.

Because of the addition of egg whites, the kneading of the dough is more chewy. Wang Baochuan's hand strength has been well exercised these days. She feels the cool touch of the dough from her fingertips, which makes Wang Baochuan, who has been engaged in mental work, feel, This kind of life is simple and natural, facing the wind, and the fine sunlight carries the taste of autumn.

After kneading the dough, sprinkle a thin layer of wheat flour on it, and then start rolling, sifting the flour layer by layer, pressing layer by layer, folding continuously, and rolling the flour again. Wang Baochuan hummed and felt the In the tranquility of the afternoon, if it weren't for the pressure of life, she very much hoped that she could live a more carefree life in the Tang Dynasty.

Such a pace of life, such an environment, and such a life made her smile slightly.

The flour dough used for making noodles is rolled into a long strip, and the uneven part on the side is cut off with a knife. The lard outside has already begun to take shape.

Pour out the lard and let it cool. This is for making siu mai, and then boil the pork bone soup, put some ginger to remove the meaty smell, and the pork bone soup should be so authentic.

This stove is a bit like a modern stove. There is a fire on the bottom, and two pots can be placed on the top at the same time. Wang Baochuan is cooking pork bone soup while stirring the minced meat. , put it in the cabinet to dry, and then fry the minced meat, a piece of pork for multiple purposes.

Then he added a few more eggs to the egg yolk just now, and Wang Baochuan began to spread the egg skin, brushing a layer of sesame oil, without adding firewood, and the fire was not strong, and then slowly spread the egg skin, the advantage of the big pot is that a piece of egg skin is spread It can be cut into a lot of egg shreds, which are placed in the locust leaves to enrich the taste and aroma.

Following Wang Baochuan, he began to tinker with the glutinous rice, first washed it and put it in a wooden basin, then added soy sauce, lard, minced meat, and shiitake mushrooms, stirred together, then spooned a spoonful of pork soup, stirred it and kept it aside.

It was only at this time that Wang Baochuan realized that her labor force was not enough, so she stepped up and rushed to make the siu mai skin, using a small bowl upside down to make round skins, and put the remaining dough and old noodles aside.

When the first cage of siu mai was formed, the pork soup had already been boiled, so she put it aside to let it cool down, and started steaming the siu mai on the stove at the door.

The taste of siu mai is very fragrant, and there are a lot of siu mai that can be steamed in one basket. A Western businessman with a high nose and brown eyes at the door may be the first time he has seen Wang Baochuan use this kind of steamer to steam things. In the standard Chang'an language, "little lady, what's inside you?"

Wang Baochuan was sweating profusely making steamed cakes. When he heard his head coming in to ask, he quickly wiped his hands and ran out. He opened the bamboo steamer cover on the top. The end is mixed with a good smell, and the oily fragrance is overflowing.

"Bada——" Wang Baochuan watched the barbarian dripping saliva on her siu mai, jumped back and shouted, "What are you doing?!"

Hu Ren looked at the siu mai in a daze, then at her, swallowed and said, "I want to eat."

In line with the principle of cheating foreigners to earn extra money and not earning nothing, Wang Baochuan had a thought in his mind, and he had already reached out to the man and said, "20 coins each."

This barbarian is tall and big, and his IQ is probably not good. Seeing that he was dying to eat, he threw down 200 Wen and said excitedly, "Here are 10."

Wang Baochuan wrapped ten of them in oiled paper that Li Feibai had bought for him, and saw him devouring them as if he had never eaten before.

In fact, Wang Baochuan knew it in his own mind. When he was in the prime minister’s mansion, the dim sum he ate was more delicate than this one, and the quality of the material was better. But people are like this. Fresh things always feel different when they eat them for the first time. That's it.

Because of the voracious eating behavior of the barbarians and the fragrant smell of siu mai, passers-by who are still wandering outside at this time can’t help but feel hungry. It’s still early for dinner, and it’s just right to eat snacks. They also lined up to buy something that looked delicious.

That Hu man was very funny, he actually patted his chest and yelled, "It's really delicious, 20 cents each."

Well, even the matter of spending money to make money was saved, Wang Baochuan was happy in her heart, and her only worry was that the production of this siu mai seemed to be a bit small.

One cage of siu mai was sold out, earning a total of 1000 renminbi, but the second cage has not yet been finished, but the people in the queue saw everyone in front of them eating with smiles on their faces. They were so unwilling in their hearts and kept urging , "Little lady, is there any more? Another cage."

"Little lady, I have the money!"

"Little lady, the siu mai is delicious, you are beautiful!"

Wang Baochuan heard it in his ears, and couldn't laugh or cry, but no one was looking at the store at the moment, and when he rolled his eyes, the barbarian was still standing by and trying to help her maintain the team, so Wang Baochuan said, "My lord, why don't I do it?" , you go to the store?"

The barbarian nodded quickly after hearing this, gestured and said, "Give me ten more."

Wang Baochuan's black line, does she think that people in the Tang Dynasty actually consumed a lot of food, okay?

After easily earning two pennies back, she planned to close the stall. She was so busy all afternoon that she was dizzy.Luo Erniang, who lived next door, saw that her business was so good here, so she couldn't stay idle anymore. She came to see what she was selling curiously, walked into the house and looked at the raw materials spread on the table, and snorted, " I thought it was so big, it’s just these things, but what is it that’s black? You can’t be playing tricks on someone, can you?”

"This is a mushroom, not a Gu." Wang Baochuan snatched the shiitake mushroom from her hand. Today's business is really good, which surprised her. She originally thought that people in the Tang Dynasty were not very curious about new things, but now it seems that it is not so at all. thing.Of course, today's Bole is a foreign friend. According to him, his name is Albus Yar, a businessman from Persia.

He said that what he sold was pepper, which was shipped from Magadha, but it seemed that many people here didn't like this stuff, which made him very distressed.

Just like shiitake mushrooms, many people don't like something, not because it tastes bad, but because, uh, it's not good to eat.

So Wang Baochuan asked him to bring the pepper tomorrow, while she herself continued to study her locust leaf Lengtao.

Li Feibai went back to the palace to take a bath. The officials had already prepared the documents and seals, and Jing Zhaoyin had sent over the two man-made household registration documents. Everything was ready.

When Princess Yu learned that Li Feibai had to run away from home because of a woman who sold steamed cakes, she felt very incredible, and expressed her doubts about what kind of woman could let her son go out to eat and sleep in the open.

However, Li Feibai has never been a person who likes to explain. He put his arms around his mother with a smile and said, "Don't worry, mother, one day I will bring her back to show you."

"A seller of steamed cakes?" Princess Yu raised her voice.

"No, a very special woman." She didn't refute Li Feibai's words. Regarding her son, Princess Yu has always had no choice but to let him say, "The life outside is hard, if you can't make it, come back. Got it?"

As soon as she mentioned this, Li Feibai laughed, if the life outside made it difficult for him, a county king who subdues the people and understands the people's sentiments, then the world must change.

Soft words comforted his mother, and Li Feibai went out leisurely. Originally, Princess Yu asked him to have dinner before leaving, but he said, "Her steamed cakes are delicious."

When I returned to Xuanyangfang, I saw Erniang Luo standing at the front of the street holding a rice bowl. Seeing Li Feibai coming, she quickly came up to hold him back and said, "Oh, my lord, I think your lady is weird." .”

Li Feibai hated being touched by strangers, so he pulled back his sleeves calmly and asked, "What's so weird?"

"Oh, she made a weird thing called siu mai for others to eat, and it sold for 20 yuan a piece, but people who bought it said it was delicious. Do you think it's weird? 20 yuan, steamed cakes cost 1 yuan I can buy two, 20 cents each for siu mai, oh my god. And she has hidden some kind of Gu at home, it’s dark and has a strange smell, making people want to eat it after eating it, don’t you think it’s weird?” Luo Erniang The words were exaggerated, but when she exaggerated, people from the neighbors all came over.

On the contrary, Sun Guaizi was more fair, "I also ate the siu mai, it's really delicious, don't say that about my little lady."

"Oh, look, you are also bewitched by her." Luo Erniang was very sad that everyone was fascinated by a siu mai, but they still didn't know the truth.

Li Feibai didn't stay any longer, and went home. When eating steamed buns that time, he also ate what she called shiitake mushrooms. They were dried, and they couldn't be eaten dry. After soaking, there was a fragrance, and the taste was very good. .

Returning to the room that could be called home, Wang Baochuan smiled when he saw him come back, and handed him a bowl of Lengtao with fragrant locust leaves, and said with his red lips, "Taste it."

Probably really hungry, or really delicious, the noodles have a refreshing taste, green color, the soup base is delicious, coriander, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and egg skins float on it, adding a variety of complex tastes, Full of flavor.

"It's delicious." Li Feibai, who even finished the soup, was full of praise for her craftsmanship, and Wang Baochuan laughed and said, "That's good, don't blame me for not being able to sell it tomorrow when you're cold. eat."

Li Feibai looked at her with a bowl in his hand, and listened to what she said, why did he feel that he was a majestic county prince, as if he had been tricked?
