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

The matter of the goose will not be mentioned for the time being, after all, there are outsiders around, and it is always difficult to publicize the family ugliness.

Shen Qi went to take a bath, he had injuries on his body, he hadn't taken a bath before, now two days later, he had minor injuries again, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Xia Anran saw that he was suffering from suffocation, so she asked Shen Qi's personal guard to take care of him. He had already prepared gauze and bandages when Shen Qi was resting, and Shen Qi brought the wound medicine himself. Although it is best not to touch the wound with water, But Xia Anran asked people to boil the water and then let it cool down. It was full of boiled water, so it was still ok to wipe her body.

Just wait and repack him.

Xue Pan and Feng Yuan watched him busily busy and finally pushed the military master to take a bath, and looked at each other with indescribable expressions.

Ok……

Should it be said that this is the unawareness of the people in the game?

Just thinking of Shen Qi's indifferent eyes before leaving, the two of them were so amused that they shut up.

They themselves are not very upright, how can they talk about Xia Anran.

As expected of Fujian, before I came here, I heard that the relationship between Qi brothers is quite frequent here, but I didn't expect Brother Xia to...cough just a few months after he came here.

Of course, these two people didn't know that Shen Qi was also from the north, and they had some inexplicable relationship when they were in the north, and they even blamed the local Feng Shui.

Seeing that Xia Anran sat down, several people began to talk about business.

The sauce shop has been doing well recently and has opened up the market. Although counterfeiters are gradually appearing, due to the limited planting range of peppers and the relationship with the Lin family manor, the Xue family can get good peppers with relatively fair prices. The brand is limited by the factor of chili, and it can't eat this market for the time being.

However, chili grows rapidly, is easy to grow, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes popular. Xue Pan is quite optimistic about this.

"By then, everyone will be used to buying things from our Xue family." He is very confident about this. Didn't they leave a lot of poems and essays? Brother Ling asked someone to copy those poems and essays on the wall. Many students at that time are now members of the Imperial Academy. A poem, praise our Xue family as a benevolent merchant, and praise the taste of salty and sweet Erjiang."

He looked quite complacent, "I also heard that because many students who ate our salty and sweet two sauces got good grades, Tanhua, the No. The sauce is dipped in good fortune."

"It's a pity that Brother Ling said before that we can only make this sauce during the Chunwei exam, so it's not easy to sell it now." He shook his head a bit regrettable, "But students who come to pay homage to poetry must buy some from us. I went back and tried to make the ingredients at home, especially the hot sauce sold very well.”

The hot sauce he was talking about was the fake Laoganma made by Xia Anran.The material is cheap, the storage time is quite long, and it is fragrant and ready to eat. If it is well sealed and not too hot, this jar can be stored for about two or three months, and it can be longer in winter.

This thing is very useful, it can be served with rice, noodles, or as a dipping sauce, and it is very suitable for rice.

When Xue Pan came to Fujian this time, he brought a lot of hot sauce and sold it all the way. If he hadn't remembered to bring a few cans for Xia Anran, the last few bottles would have been snatched up long ago.

Thinking of that scene, he had some lingering fears, but his eyes were full of cheerful smiles.

Seeing that he was still giggling after he finished speaking, Feng Yuan seemed to be still reminiscing about the scene at that time, so he continued, "Brother Xia doesn't know something. Many boatmen gathered together and begged us to sell some chili sauce. They said it was because they had carried a guest. The guest was very good at cooking and the food was delicious. At that time, the boatman was embarrassed to ask the guest where to buy the sauce. Later, after many inquiries, we found our Xue family , who is suffering from being in the south and cannot buy things from the north, after confirming that it is our home, he almost begged us to sell them some sauce."

"Exactly." Xue Pan heard Feng Yuan's description of the scene that day, and hurriedly said, "Although I don't know who the guest is, but if I can meet him, I must thank him."

Xia Anran silently picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put down the cup as if nothing had happened, pretending not to know who the guest was, and replied, "I really want to thank you. By the way, you two came from afar. Why don't you try my Yongchun specialty?"

Both Xue Pan and Feng Yuan were very interested. In their impression, Xia Anran liked food very much. What is Yongchun's special product?

Oh no matter, if Xia Anran can entertain people, it will definitely not be bad.

They have so-called blind trust in Xia Anran.

Then by dinnertime they doubted their trust a little bit.

"What is this...?"

"Looks like pectin?"

Xue Pan and Feng Yuan looked at the pre-dinner cold dishes with some hesitation. They saw translucent objects the size of half an orange turned upside down on the plate, and what could be seen inside were long white substances.

Xia Anran personally brought them a dish of ingredients, and introduced, "This item is called bamboo shoot jelly, and it is extremely delicious. The ingredients in this dish are white garlic, vinegar, shredded ginger, and soy sauce, all of which are from Yongchun. Eat, it's delicious."

Shen Qi sat on the side, holding tea in his hand, noncommittal, not expressing any opinion at all.

"It turned out to be bamboo shoots." Xue Pan looked again carefully, and felt that it did look like bamboo shoots. He picked one up with a bamboo stick, and said with some novelty, "Could it be soup jelly?"

Xia Anran smiled, and persuaded, "Yes, it's the same as fish jelly. Brother Xue, Brother Feng, try it quickly. This is only available here, and it's not easy to keep. When it's out of Fujian, this food is just for eating. not reach."

While talking, he stood up, muttering, "I'll ask the kitchen, why the dishes at the back haven't come yet..."

Xia Anran seemed extremely anxious for neglecting the guest, seeing that he had to go outside in big strides.

Shen Qi silently put down the teacup, he saw those two people looking at him from the corner of the eye, he hesitated, he said, "I've eaten it, you can eat it first," thought for a while, and added, "This thing is really difficult now. Searching."

Xue Pan showed a dazed expression. Bamboo shoots are either spring or winter. Now that it is the end of autumn, Jingxi must have worked hard to find these things.

He held up a bamboo stick to dip some ingredients, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it in one bite, and then showed a look of surprise!

"Well!!"

He couldn't wait to swallow the food in his mouth in two or three mouthfuls, and then said to Feng Yuan, "Ah Yuan, try it quickly, this food has a mellow taste, and the bamboo shoots inside are very chewy, it is really delicious."

Seeing this, Feng Yuan also picked up one, and when Xia Anran came in, he saw that the plate of asparagus jelly was almost eaten, and his smile became wider, and he asked, "How is it, this is delicious, isn't it?" .”

"Delicious." Xue Pan nodded, smacking his lips, and then he ordered the sauce dish, "This sauce dish is also good, Jingxi, you just said that this vinegar is a specialty of Yongchun?"

Xia Anran turned sideways and asked someone to bring up the dishes. Red yeast rice is abundant in Fujian, and the quality of red yeast rice is excellent, because chefs also like to add red yeast rice when cooking. The color of Fujian cuisine is reddish, and it is used in the kitchens of Yongchun County today. The best is the most plump rice field fish as the base material. I made a red fish, and I used this year's newly grown chicken to cook a red chicken. Bamboo razor clams, and a piece of grilled eel with green onions, which Xia Duoduo caught today. The chef also smashed fish balls, boiled a fish ball soup with cabbage just picked from the field, and fried a few other seasonal vegetables. The last dish is exactly the rice steamed from this year's new rice.

The rice is steamed in a bamboo tube, and the rice grains are crystal clear, with wisps of bamboo fragrance, if you use him as a dish, you can do it.

Considering that there are several big men present, especially Shen Qi, Xia Anran prepared a whole five bamboo tubes of rice.

The dishes are still very rich.

Although lighter.

The main reason is that Xia Anran's peppers are gone, the newly planted ones are not yet ripe, and he has eaten up the previous stockpile.

Xue Pan and Feng Yuan were extremely satisfied with this meal, Xia Anran could only watch them eat in the end, his bowl had already been put down, because he was afraid that if he ate any more, he would not have enough food.

Shen Qi was able to eat, but Xue Pan didn't expect Xue Pan to be too aggressive. The explanation Feng Yuan gave him was that, apart from passing through big cities, he could go to some big restaurants all the way, otherwise he basically ate dry food, so Xue Pan I've been holding back for a long time.

Xia Anran silently refilled the rice for the two guests, after thinking about it, she got up and ordered the stove to steam some more rice.

By the way, boil some hawthorn water, he guessed that Shen Qi would not know what to do with such a way of eating, and Xue Pan might have accumulated food.

The result was not as he expected, Xue Pan was full soon, when he put down his chopsticks and fell to Feng Yuan with a face full of pain, Shen Qi Shi Shiran added another bowl of rice for himself.

The posture is very relaxed and comfortable.

After eating enough, the few of them accompanied Xue Pan who was yelling and shouting for activities to digest food. However, Shen Qi was pushed into the room by Xia Anran to rest. As he pushed himself back into the house, his expression was quite conniving.

Xue Pan, who was watching outside, saw that Xia Anran had pushed him back to his room to further confirm the relationship between the two, and he sighed a little worriedly.

I can't say whether I like it or not, but Shen Qi is in the military and Xia Anran is in the civil service. Both of them have entered the imperial court. It is not up to them to decide where to stay. Now that the two are assigned to one place, what about the future?

Even if this is not mentioned, Xia Anran's family is the only son, he is now in Fujian, he is not very old, Xia's mother is not in a hurry, when he is older... hey.

Seeing that he was worried, Feng Yuan comforted him: "Pan'er don't need to worry." His expression was gentle, "Personal fate, even if it breaks up in the end, if there was a true relationship, I will definitely not regret it."

Then he was stared at.

Xue Pan strode out, Mom, do you feel fuller?

After Xia Anran came out, he saw Xue Pan running out, and Feng Yuan stood there looking helpless, he blinked, hey, why is this plot the same as an idol drama?

The male and female protagonists have conflicts, and the heroine runs out. If the male protagonist does not chase, the heroine will easily encounter accidents. ——How can the plot continue to develop without accidents?

Then he heard Xue Pan's shout of surprise and joy, "Brother Feng? Why are you here?"

Xia Anran: No way!I'm just thinking about it!
