After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

The old man has gray hair and is about sixty years old, but his complexion is still ruddy and he is energetic.

It's just that his face is not kind, even a little serious, and he is sitting in the pavilion drinking tea at the moment, unlike ordinary literati and poets, he looks like a soldier who came down from the battlefield.

This person is the head teacher Zhou of Wenyuan Academy, Zhou Ci.Not long ago, he just retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, and returned to Xuanzhou to be the head teacher.

Xie Niannian asked Xie Pengju about Master Zhou's taboos and temperament, and at this moment he saluted respectfully: "The daughter of the people pays homage to Master Zhou."

Zhou Ci took a sip of the newly made Longjing tea in his cup, and then said, "Are you the one who was threatened by Xu Wang on the street yesterday?"

Xie Niannian still lowered his head, looking pleasing to the eye: "It's just that the women don't want to sell the cookbook, so Master Xu just wants to grab it."

Zhou Ci sized up Xie Niannian, who seemed obedient and well-behaved: "You don't look like a perverted person. If you have the courage to resist, Xu Wang must have gone too far."

As he spoke, he slapped the table, and a lot of tea was spilled out of the teacup: "Huh! Governor Lin is really getting bolder, allowing his servants to bully the people in the street, but His Majesty still doesn't care about it."

He seemed to get angrier as he spoke, and stood up straight away, pacing back and forth: "Yesterday, I wrote a letter and sent it to my colleagues in the court. Chen Lin's assassin has eleven crimes. I only hope that your majesty will severely punish him, or I will not be stable!"

Xie Niannian was stunned, watching Zhou Ci in the pavilion berate the governor of Xuanzhou endlessly, from his disobedience to public opinion to offending Tianwei, from lax discipline to incompetence in office, citing allusions to the following historical books, directly The governor of Xuanzhou made a bloody criticism.

Xie Pengju also seemed a little embarrassed, he took advantage of Zhou Ci's turning around and said softly to Xie Niannian: "My mentor sometimes loses his temper, that's how it is."

Xie Niannian thought to himself, he deserves to be a civil servant who can hand over fifteen scriptures to swear, he is really different.

It took about half a cup of tea, Zhou Ci seemed to be tired, stopped to take a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and then looked at Xie Niannian again: "What are you here for?"

Xie Niannian hurried forward to the pavilion, took out a piece of rice paper, and said respectfully: "The girl's name is Xie Niannian, because she doesn't want to sell the recipes, and because she heard that Mrs. Zhou likes to study and eat, she wants to present the recipes. With Master Zhou, in order to seek asylum."

She spoke sincerely, and her purpose was obvious. Zhou Ci took a look at Xie Niannian: "You are clever, show me."

Xie Niannian walked up to the pavilion with small steps, handed the menu to the servant next to Zhou Ci, and at the same time glanced at the tea on the table.

She thought for a while, and said: "Longjing spring tea is the best, with strong tea fragrance and the best taste. Mr. Zhou is a person who knows how to eat, so if you want to offer the recipe to Mr. Zhou, you will not be buried."

Not only Xie Pengju, but even Zhou Ci were surprised.

Ordinary people are busy with their livelihood all day long, and eat three meals a day. If they haven't really studied it, how can they know about tea.

Zhou Ci looked at the recipe again, and the word Xindao was indeed only written by ordinary people, it was crooked.But the more he looked at it, the more curious he was: "" You said that this sweet potato can be made transparent by this method? "

"Exactly." Xie Niannian replied respectfully: "This way, the texture and taste of sweet potatoes have been changed. It's like grinding glutinous rice to make pastries."

Zhou Ci understood immediately, and praised: "There is indeed an ingenuity."

He was delighted to see it, and felt that Xie Niannian must be a person who is good at studying food, and at the same time, he became more and more disgusted with Xu Wang and his party.

Most literati love flowers, tea, poetry and wine, but few love food. It is rare for Zhou Ci to meet someone who has the same hobbies as himself, and for a moment he forgets the difference between Xie Niannian and his own status.

He immediately called the servant: "Go get the paper and ink, I will write another letter to His Majesty immediately, and I must punish Xu Wang and others severely! Pengju, you can write another letter for me and ask the Governor's Mansion, how is it?" Discipline your servants!"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and wrote at his desk, his face filled with righteous indignation, which made Xie Niannian extremely surprised.

Xie Niannian slowly retreated to his side and whispered, "Master Zhou is really a man of temperament."

Xie Pengju twitched the corners of his mouth, but he had no choice but to take a pen and paper to write.

After the two masters and apprentices finished writing, Zhou Ci looked at the sky, and suddenly wanted to see Xie Niannian's cooking skills: "I saw that pepper is used in the recipe, I think Miss Xie should do some research on it?"

Seeing that Xie Niannian bowed his head and said yes, he continued: "I once ate a spicy fish fillet in Beijing, it was really surprising.

Later, when I arrived in Xuanzhou, I asked someone to find fresh peppers, but the cooks in Fuzhong couldn't make that taste.I wonder what the girl thinks? "

Xie Niannian raised his head, his eyes couldn't hide his surprise: "Does your lord have fresh peppers?"

"Exactly, planted in the next state." Seeing Xie Niannian's expression, Zhou Ci thought that he might have found the right person.

Xie Niannian smiled confidently: "I have a dish of green pepper fish, are you interested in trying it?"

"Okay!" Zhou Ci stroked his palms: "Take Miss Xie to the kitchen! Pengju, you can stay and have dinner with me."

"Yes." Xie Pengju was also very happy for Xie Niannian in his heart. In this way, the crisis was resolved and Zhou Ci appreciated him.

The Zhou Mansion's kitchen is really big, and there are a wide variety of seasonings for dishes, and there is even a special ice room for storing vegetables, which Xie Niannian is very envious of.

But she quickly adjusted her mentality and began to concentrate on cooking the fish.

Remove the scales and viscera of crucian carp, change the flower knife, and marinate with carved wine, ginger slices and salt to remove the fishy smell.Sauté the shallots, minced garlic, and ginger in the oil pan until fragrant, then fry the fish in hot oil.

The fish fried in this way is golden and crispy, and the fish is tender.

The fried fish was picked up and put aside, Xie Niannian cut the potatoes into thick slices, fried them in the same pot, put them in the bottom of the bowl, and put the fried fish on top.

The next step is seasoning. Fresh peppers are minced and fried together with garlic, ginger slices, and peppercorns. The strong spicy smell swept the kitchen instantly, and the servants who were watching from the side stepped back several steps , could not stop coughing.

But Xie Niannian still didn't change his face, he turned the spoon and stir-fried. After a while, the original spicy taste was reduced a lot, and the rest was full of attractive fresh fragrance.

Finally, add salt to adjust the taste. Xie Niannian pours the oil and chopped pepper into a bowl and pours it on the fish.

Add a little dried peppercorns to garnish, pour a spoonful of hot oil on the peppercorns to stimulate the aroma, and a bowl of green pepper fish is ready.

Xie Niannian does not shy away from people at all when cooking, his movements are fast and neat, and he uses precise ingredients, which amazes others.

Xie Niannian didn't have to worry about other dishes. After the waiter brought the green pepper fish and other side dishes, Xie Niannian sat down with Xie Pengju.

Sitting on the top, Zhou Ci first tasted the green pepper fish with chopsticks. The spicy taste of the green pepper fish is more overbearing than the spicy fish fillet. Even the fish meat with chopped peppers is put into the mouth. The sweetness of the fish.

But the green pepper is salty and fresh, which stimulates the secretion of saliva, which is very appetizing for dinner.

The fried potatoes buried at the bottom are even soaked in seasoning, each bite is spicy and fishy, ​​but the taste is different from fish, which is also fascinating.

Zhou Ci is obviously a spicy person, so he eats without looking up, enjoying himself very much.

The chef of the Zhou Mansion cooks authentic Xuanzhou dishes, paying attention to the taste of the ingredients themselves. Xie Niannian also enjoys eating, and can think about how this dish is made while eating.

The host and guest enjoyed a meal.

After the meal, Zhou Ci drank a sip of tea, and when he saw Xie Niannian, he was also a lot more kind: "I really did not misunderstand the person, Miss Xie really has good cooking skills."

"Miss Xie, don't worry, the Tianshu Division has sent someone to Xuanzhou to monitor the governor's mansion today, and Pengju has also handed me a note to inquire about the crime. I think the governor's mansion will not trouble you again in the future."

Xie Niannian was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out, "Tianshu Division?"

Seeing Xie Niannian's question, Zhou Ci thought she didn't understand, and it was normal for ordinary people not to understand Tianshu Division, so he patiently explained: "Tianshu Division was dispatched by the Empress to supervise all officials and examine old cases.

It was only today that I learned that Tianshu Division sent someone, you should have seen him, the one who protected you yesterday. "

"The Empress must have finally paid attention to it." Zhou Ci drank tea leisurely, not paying any attention to Xie Niannian's surprised expression below.

Tianshu Division, Xie Niannian is very understanding!

Gu Chen, the black-bellied and affectionate female second in the original book, is the acting director-general of Tianshu Division.

Gu Chen can be said to be ruthless, profit-oriented, and quite scheming. She is tired of framing and assassination.

Under the leadership of Gu Chen, Tianshusi acted like a villain. One day he ransacked the mansion of this official, and the next day he arrested another person and sent him to jail. He seemed to have a legitimate reason for doing things, making it hard to grasp.

But it happens that such a crazy female second critic has a deep affection for the heroine, and pretends to be a little white rabbit in front of the heroine, and often uses the power of Tianshu Division to eradicate dissidents for the heroine.

There are still many readers in the article who love the character design of the second female lead, but Xie Niannian has no feelings for her, and even hates Tianshusi.

Now that the people from Tianshu Division came to Xuanzhou, they wanted to stay as far away from the protagonist and his party in the book as possible. Xie Niannian couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Although I haven't read the complete book, there is not much description of Xuanzhou in the book, and I think there will be no major problems?Xie Niannian comforted himself like this, and managed to calm down.

"Although Tianshu Division is often a jerk in doing things, it is still useful." Zhou Ci, who sat on the top, added: "I once scolded the Director of Tianshu Division for being unfavorable in his work in the court, but that person is still the same. Face doesn't matter, it's really shameless!"

As if remembering something bad, Zhou Ci's face turned dark all of a sudden.

Director of Tianshu Department.Xie Niannian was listening below, and couldn't help frowning. It was mentioned in the book that Gu Chen was acting as the director, so where did the plot in the book go?Is the director of the Tianshu Division still alive at this time?Or has Gu Chen succeeded?

Before he could come up with a clue, he saw a servant walk in quickly and asked for instructions: "My lord, Xu, the head of the governor's office, is here to ask for an audience."

All three people in the seat frowned, Zhou Ci impatiently waved his sleeves: "Let him in, I want to see what the Governor's Mansion is doing!"

Thinking that this is the Zhou Mansion, Xie Niannian couldn't help but feel relieved.

She watched calmly as the servant led in a chunky but smiling middle-aged man, followed by several servants carrying things.

The man entered the room and first bowed to Zhou Ci: "Master Zhou, are you all right? The villain sends you greetings on behalf of Master Lin."

"What are you here for?" Zhou Ci had an unfriendly expression on his face.

"Master Lin heard that the Eldest Young Master was not strict in disciplining his subordinates. He was heartbroken and reflected on himself. So he prepared a gift and wanted to give it to Miss Xie as an expression of apology."

Zhou Ci snorted coldly: "Your governor's office is well-informed, and you can even find out where the person is."

Xu Lai didn't seem to understand Zhou Ci's sarcasm, he still turned around with a smile on his face, found Xie Niannian accurately, and bowed: "Miss Xie, this is the fault of the governor's mansion, this is the governor's mansion's compensation. acceptable."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and two young servants came over carrying a box of things. When he opened it, he found that it was all of high-quality silk!
