[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

[Please don't slander the system, the system is an intelligent system that was developed for young little demons, with the purpose of cultivating them into useful demons for the country. 】

"The system is actually online? I thought you wouldn't even be able to talk to me in this world." Xia Anran, who had called the system many times before but failed to get instructions, was surprised and delighted.

[The system is new to the world and is absorbing energy. 】

[The host please pay attention, the host needs to inject demon power to activate the task system, please work hard to practice in the future. 】

Uh, the implication is that the system paid for him to start the mission this time, so it was silent for several days.

Xia Anran's small eyes wandered for a moment, and he coughed dryly, "System, what can you do for me after entering the mission world?"

[The system can only provide auxiliary assistance to protect the host from being counter-killed.The rest is up to the host to work hard on his own. 】

Very good... It really didn't work.

Xia Anran's trust in that nursery school dropped a notch in her heart.

Just as he was complaining in his heart, there was a knock on the door of the Xia family compound, he answered, and opened the door with his short legs. Outside the door was the butler Lin who had just met yesterday. Xia Anran, Lin Butler immediately showed a kind smile in politeness, and a flattering smile in kindness. "Xia Xiaolang, you are well."

Xia Anran silently took a step back.

Confirmed the eyes,

This is the person who came to grab the meat

The result was not what he expected.

Butler Lin really came to buy meat.

Xia Anran is a little confused, he knows the stewed vegetables he cooks, after all, he has eaten a stewed egg, if you say it is comparable to those centuries-old brands, it is definitely not as good, the advantage is probably that the ingredients he uses are better , after all, they are all given by others as a thank you gift, and the delicious food is limited, so it should not be of interest to a family like the Lin family.

So Xia Anran was actually more inclined to the stewed meat that Lin Ruhai rewarded to Butler Lin. Now Butler Lin came over and said that the master thought the taste was good and very appetizing. When he asked if he could buy more, he was surprised.

He didn't have any intention of hiding his secrets, and he didn't have any secret recipe at all, so he led Steward Lin into the kitchen.

As soon as the door was opened, Butler Lin smelled the scent that he had been dreaming about all night.

To be honest, Steward Lin followed Lin Ruhai, and he never ate less abalone fin and fish maw. The Lin family paid attention to health maintenance, and they never had a lot of nourishing things. What a coincidence, when Lin Ruhai got off the car yesterday, he was aroused by the smell. Before leaving, Xia Anran gave them stewed meat and stewed ingredients. At first, the two of them didn't pay much attention to it until the boy at the door inquired about it. Quan said that the lo mei came from the Xia family, so they became more concerned.

It's just pork, the Lin family really hardly eats it.

But when I visited Xia’s house today, whether it’s a small fireplace, corn tea, or a futon, this simple and delicate feeling tickled Lin Ruhai’s itch in a literati heart. When Lin Ruhai was young, he also had the idea of ​​picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan leisurely under the eastern fence. He stayed in the mountains, listened to cicadas, birds and insects, and drank the dew from the clear springs. Coupled with the death of his father, he had to support a family, so he had to give up this idea.

So in the end, although he struggled for a while, the stewed meat was served on the Lin family's dining table.

The back kitchen of the Lin family was also a little at a loss for the braised pork that was suddenly brought back. Fortunately, the housekeeper told them that they only needed to deal with it a little bit and make the plates clean. Thin slices, using the marinade as a saucer, served it up.

The masters of the Lin family, except for the young master who can't eat this kind of indigestible meat, tried it.

Jia Min's family is in the north, and her diet has been heavy since she was a child. It was only after she got married that she changed her taste, so she accepted meat well and ate several chopsticks. Lin Daiyu is still a child at this time, so everyone naturally dare not let her eat. She ate a lot, and only took the smallest piece of meat, dipped it in some marinade and fed it to her. The little girl smacked her lips, tasted it for a while, and said with a smile, "It tastes good, better than the meat Daddy bought last time." It's lighter." She tilted her head slightly, and said happily, "And taste it carefully, it's a little sweet."

The meat she said last time was bought by Lin Ruhai once when she went to eat wine and tasted the stewed beef at that restaurant. The taste is naturally stronger, the braised pork cooked by Xia Anran has a mild taste, but the lingering aroma of spices can be tasted on the tip of the tongue.Lin Ruhai smashed his mouth, tasted the taste, and couldn't help but let out a sigh, "Yu'er didn't say that Dad didn't find it yet, but there is indeed some sweetness and a hint of spicy taste. But there is no bitterness at all. How did Mr. Xia Xiaolang do it?"

He was puzzled by the fact that when people eat spicy food, cornel, prickly ash, and ginger and garlic are more commonly used. Chefs have struggled with how to get rid of the bitterness of cornel, but so far no one has tried it. It can be done, even the best chef can only try to cover the bitterness with other flavors.But Xia Anran put two chili skins without chili seeds in the marinade, this level of spiciness did not make people feel the pain of spicy, but it aroused appetite.

Moreover, with the tenderness, tenderness and tolerance of Luo Han Guo, the spicy taste is hidden behind many taste sensations. When people are not paying attention, he will attack suddenly.

It was not until Lin Ruhai's arm was lightly pressed by Jia Min that Lin Ruhai realized that he had eaten half of the plate. Seeing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing at himself, facing Daiyu looked at her with her black eyes open and said, "Daddy, this is too much, Yu'er, don't learn from Daddy, everything in the world must master a word of degree, and it will not be beautiful after passing it."

He was using himself as a negative lesson, Lin Daiyu nodded, and replied crisply, "Yu'er understands."

Lin Ruhai was a little reluctant to put down his chopsticks. People like the Lin family would never return unfinished dishes for lunch to the kitchen and wait for the evening.He summoned a servant, pointed to the remaining half of the braised pork and said, "Give this to Mingde to taste, it tastes really good."

Lin Steward ate the stewed meat, and heard the servant describe the scene at the meal to him. He knew the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs. Naturally, Lin Ruhai couldn't tell him, this meat is delicious, so you go and buy some more, which is against the rules of a gentleman By the way, a gentleman must abide by and be self-reliant. You must never say another one, but the servants are more able to understand the meaning, so it doesn't matter.

This led to the scene where Butler Lin came to the door again today.

Lin Butler is well versed in the way of complimenting others, and he praised this braised pork all over the place with his mouth flying, but his words were sincere, which made people feel comfortable listening. In addition, it is a new stew, and the taste is more fragrant, not the strong taste of the old stew, so the scholars in this family accept it well.

He opened the pot, and the three reddish-brown meat strips inside had been colored. When the lid was lifted, the overbearing aroma of the marinade rushed out with water vapor.

Xia Anran took a pair of clean chopsticks and plates, and pointed to the three pieces, "Steward Lin, let's look at these three pieces of meat. This piece has more fat and taste better, but it's just fatty. This piece is evenly fat and thin, but it's missing some meat." Smell, this piece of lean meat has more, chewy, long-tasting, take a look at Lin Butler, which one do you want?"

Butler Lin felt that he had encountered the biggest problem this year.

He is good at identifying fabrics, he can also identify grains, and he is also good at accounting. His poetry and songs are not comparable to the master of the family, but among the housekeepers, he will definitely not lose, but this selection of meat...

Can you really not have all three?

He looked at Mr. Xia Xiaolang who was waiting for his reply with a calm expression. From the attitude of this man asking him to choose one of three, he could tell that this kid didn't have all the intentions of selling.

But this, this, according to the introduction of this little man, both fat and lean meat have advantages, only fat and thin ones have only disadvantages?He thought about it, and asked, "Little Langjun, I just heard you say that the fat meat tastes good, and the lean meat is chewy. I don't know that this fat and thin..."

Xia Anran smiled, "Steward Lin, fat and thin, he wants to please both sides, but in fact he has lost his own characteristics. In the end, both parties are not pleasing, but the taste is mediocre."

Then, without waiting for Butler Lin to react from the words that seemed to imply a sharp edge, he stretched out his hand and picked up three pieces of meat, cut them into small pieces, took a new bamboo chopsticks, and said, "If Butler Lin can't make a decision, why not?" Give it a try?"

Lin Butler was able to bear the doubts in his heart, and raised his chopsticks to try them one by one. Sure enough, as the young man said, the fatty meat tasted very delicious, and as he chewed, the marinade burst in his mouth. It's just that after a long time, he felt to fatty.There is not much marinade in the lean meat, but the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. On the contrary, the meat is evenly fat and thin, but the taste is just mediocre.He thought for a while, and said, "This is really embarrassing for me..."

Xia Anran stood on the side with her hands behind her back, she was a little surprised when she heard his words, she had already tasted it... what else is there to embarrass?I heard Steward Lin say, "Young master, can you cut some of the three roots and let the old man take them back to the mansion?"

Xia Anran, who didn't know that a smart person understood his words too much, blinked. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he cut it into three sections and packaged them separately, but the cost made him embarrassed.

In the end, seeing that he was in a difficult position to ask for a price, Steward Lin said directly that the price of the lo-mei in the hotel would be fine. The housekeeper Lin took out a small string of copper coins from his sleeve, "Young master, this is half a penny of copper coins, please accept it. Hiss... I still have a merciless request."

Xia Anran, who was carrying heavy copper coins, had a dazed expression, "Butler Lin, please tell me."

Butler Lin was a little twitchy, and said after a while, "When I visited that day, the corn tea that the young master invited to drink... After I went back next time, I thought about its taste... I wonder if the young master can..."

In the end, Steward Lin brought another bag of corn silk when he went back, and Xia Anran cheerfully sent him out. He put the copper coins on the table, and began to think about whether to overthrow his previous idea of ​​not opening a restaurant.

did not expect!I didn't expect selling vegetables to make so much money! !

This is half a penny. The pork that Butler Lin has cut away is less than a catty, and now the price of a catty of pork is only 30 Wen, and the half penny is 500 Wen, which is a lot of money.

The path of life that was set just yesterday is facing a test.

Butler Lin: Master, that's it. Mingde thought carefully on the way back, and always felt that there was something in Master Xia's words...

Lin Ruhai: Mr. Xia Lang actually said that?I'm afraid it's an excuse... Hai has always felt that what does this Young Master Xia know...

Butler Lin: Master is wise!Mingde has already increased the amount of money, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's still too little.

Lin Ruhai: It's okay, just take care of her in the future.

Xia Anran: (knowing nothing) (talking without heart) (talking about meat) (full of joy and thinking that he is convincing others with food)
