Chapter 108

Although the place to eat is simple, the food is very rich. There are crispy fried pork, braised pork, crystal sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour chicken nuggets, braised bamboo rat, and stewed chicken. There are many, either two big pots or two big pots.

Vegetarian dishes are also indispensable, such as pan-fried five-spice tofu, scallion fried eggs, vinegared Chinese cabbage, fresh bean sprouts fried in chicken broth, and rice noodles with gravy that Gu Jinli specially made for Shang Yuanyuan.

When making tofu at home, the tofu skin was removed, and Gu Jinli used the tofu skin to make three silk spring rolls. The bread was filled with boiled bean sprouts, shredded eggs, shredded chicken, shredded green onions, and then smeared with a little caramel and fresh sauce. The sauce becomes a spring delicacy.

Everyone in the family knew that Shang Xiucai's family was coming today, as long as there was no tofu stall, they all came to accompany them, and the Qin family also came.

But only Qin Lao and Qin Sanlang came, Qin Erlang still didn't come, he still repulsed them as before.

On the fire in the yard, Qin Sanlang was roasting three hares and four carps on an iron plate.

He went to the mountain to hunt the rabbit the day before yesterday, and he went to touch the carp in the river of Dafeng Mountain this morning. They are real delicacies.

The method of roasting fish was taught by Gu Jinli. Qin Sanlang has roasted it several times, and now he has learned it.

He was busy in front of the fire by himself, sprinkling seasoning on the rabbit for a while, and smearing sauce on the grilled fish for a while. His movements were not in a hurry, but he felt a sense of flowing water.

Shang Xiucai found it interesting, walked over and asked, "Is this... grilling fish?"

He had never seen this method of grilling fish on an iron plate.When I went to the cultural meeting before, there was also that crazy man who grilled fish, but he always skewered the fish on the branches and roasted it directly on the fire. It looked wanton and crazy, but the taste of the grilled fish was really not flattering .

Qin Sanlang nodded: "Well, Xiaoyu said that the fish grilled on an iron plate is delicious, there is no smoky smell, only burnt and delicious."

Shang Xiucai was interested, so he stood aside and watched.

Fish and rabbit meat were being grilled in the yard, and the main room was already filled with women and children from several families.

The third grandma knew that Mrs. Jiang was an official lady, and she was afraid that Mrs. Chen and the others would be too rude and offend Mrs. Jiang, so she set up two tables in the main room.

At one table, Old Yan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Chen brought their children to eat, and at the other table, she, Mrs. Cui, Gu Jinli, Gu Jinxiu, and Brother Cheng ate with Mrs. Jiang's mother and daughter.

Gu Yumei was originally assigned to the Chen family's table, but she refused to leave while standing. The third grandma was afraid that something would happen, so she had to let her sit down.

Because Jiang's father was a county magistrate, the family did not dare to speak when eating, and ate carefully for fear of losing face.

Yuan Yuan is not afraid of life, remembering what Gu Jinli said, there is something more delicious than sweet bean curd, looking at the table full of food, asked Gu Jinli: "Sister, sister, are these things better than sweet bean curd?"

Her chubby hand pointed to the plate of rice noodles with crystal clear gravy, and asked, "Is this it?" It looked a bit like sweet bean curd, and it was all shiny.

"Yes, this dish of rice noodles with gravy also counts." Gu Jinli nodded, pointing at a few dishes with his hand, and said: "There are also crystal sweet and sour chicken nuggets, and bean curd spring rolls, all for Yuan. Yuan prepared."

"Wow~" Yuan Yuan almost drooled when he heard that there were so many dishes specially prepared for her, and said to Jiang, "Mother, mother, eat whatever you want."

Mrs. Jiang hugged her and said, "Don't move around, mother will clamp it for you."

Jiang Shi saw that the rice noodles with gravy were very soft and glutinous, suitable for children to eat, so she picked up two, put them into Yuan Yuan's small bowl, and fed her.

Yuan Yuan snorted, put a piece of rice noodles into her mouth, and chewed with her millet teeth. After eating, she said to Jiang Shi, "It's delicious."

Jiang smiled and nodded her forehead: "Greedy cat."

He also picked up two crystal sweet-and-mortar meat for her, and Yuan Yuan fell in love with it as soon as he ate it: "It's sweet and delicious."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang ate one too. It was really sour and sweet, and it was very delicious. She sighed: "These are the foods from your hometown? They are really delicious, delicious, and very appetizing."

Many of the dishes on this table were new to her.

The third grandma smiled and said: "Where is the food in my hometown, Xiaoyu figured it out by himself."

Jiang Shi was very surprised when he heard this, but thinking about it, it's not surprising that this kid can make tofu and a few fresh dishes.

She praised Gu Jinli a few words, and ate all the dishes on the table, and the more she ate, the more delicious she felt.

Seeing that she was eating happily, the third grandma finally let go of her worries.

Outside the house, the men also ate very happily. Although Shang Xiucai was a scholar, he could drink and eat meat with them. He even carried a flagon and a knife to cut the roasted rabbit meat, which was a bit of a madman. mean.

But Shang Xiucai's favorites are rice noodles with gravy and grilled fish.

The grilled fish on the iron plate did not have the smoky smell of plants and trees, but only the burnt aroma and the deliciousness of the fish. When it was eaten, it was crispy and juicy, so delicious that he ate half of it.

Then there is the crystal glutinous rice meat, which is sweet and sour, very appetizing, and fried bean sprouts in chicken soup. The crispy bean sprouts and the deliciousness of chicken soup are really refreshing.

Especially in February, when the harvest is so green, eating cabbage and radishes all winter, and suddenly eating bean sprouts, it is really not an ordinary comfort.

The meal was a feast for the guests and host.

After eating, it was already around four o'clock, and Shang Xiucai's family of three sat in Gu's house for another half an hour, and when it was almost Shen Shi, they said goodbye and left.

The third grandmother and Cui packed up a return gift and took it back to Shang Xiucai's family: "It's all homemade tofu, spices, bean sprouts, etc. It's not worth much, you take it home and eat it."

Shang Xiucai and his wife did not refuse and accepted the gift in return.

Gu Jinli wrote down a piece of Gu Jinxiu's embroidery, as well as the recipes for rice noodles, soybean milk, and bean sprouts, and handed them to Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang was surprised to see that she had written the methods of these three things to her.In Dachu, almost no one would pass on their own skills to the outside world, so she hesitated whether to accept it?

Shang Xiucai said: "Accept it, this is the child's wish."

Since you want to make old friends, you can't be so polite.

Jiang accepted it happily, and promised: "Good boy, don't worry, these three things will never be passed on to the outside world."

Gu Jinli didn't care, it was just some unskilled food.

Several families sent Shang Xiucai's family out, Yuan Yuan was reluctant to leave, grabbed the door leaf of the yard and said: "Don't leave, don't leave, but also eat delicious food."

The food at Sister Xiaoyu's house is so delicious, she wants to keep it instead of going back to eat steamed eggs.

Jiang patted her hand lightly, pretending to be sullen and said: "You are so greedy, your sister Xiaoyu's family doesn't want you."

When Yuan Yuan heard this, she immediately looked at Gu Jinli with tears in her eyes, and said pitifully, "Sister Xiaoyu... Yuan Yuan usually eats very little."

Gu Jinli almost couldn't help laughing out loud, took out a pan-fried five-spice tofu wrapped in yellow paper, and handed it to Yuan Yuan: "Here, sister left this for Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan took it to eat on the way, after eating, Come play at my sister's house again."

Yuan Yuan let go of the hand holding the door leaf, hugged the bag of fried five-spice tofu, and nodded heavily: "Well, Yuan Yuan will come to my sister's house to play after eating."

Jiang Shi lost her temper, why did she give birth to a daughter who loves to eat so much?

After such a fuss, the Shang family finally left.

Shang Xiucai didn't ask Gu Jin'an, Gu Dexing, and Gu Dewang about their knowledge alone until he left, nor did he talk about accepting apprentices.

Gu Dewang breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Dexing was very disappointed, and although Gu Jinan was also disappointed, he thought that since Ah Jiu accepted the words and articles written by them, Shang Xiucai would definitely read them, as long as he waited patiently, there would be results.

……

Village head He's house, He Dacang said to the village head, "Father, Captain Jiang's son-in-law and his family are gone."

Shang Xiucai came to visit Gu's family with two carts of things, and there was a lot of commotion. Everyone in Dafeng Village knew about it, and Village Chief He's family was no exception.

"What did you send?" Village Chief He asked.

He Dacang said: "The people who went to see the moving said that they had sent a lot of things, including rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, iron pots, farm tools, wheels, and everything."

Village head He was surprised, and even gave away iron pots, agricultural tools and wheels. These are all big things, and they can't be bought without dozens of taels of silver.

However, given the wealth of the Shang family and the Jiang family, sending a few dozen taels is nothing, the most important thing is to watch their future movements.
