Chapter 26 Braised pork and the thief who broke into the nunnery

Jiang Shaoyan didn't know that Jiang Hui had been sent to the county government at this time, and only brought two big pieces of pork belly back to Master Jingci's quiet room to start cooking the meat.

Although she is a pork fan just like that Scholar Su, Jiang Shaoyan looked at the ingredients at hand, calculated the time until sunset, and gave up the idea of ​​making Dongpo pork, and prepared to make simpler braised pork.

Because before buying meat, the butcher had to cut it into large cubes. This also saved Jiang Shaoyan from the trouble of trimming the size of the meat. He directly added water to boil, and then scalded the meat in the hot water, just to scald it. blood in the flesh.

After scalding the blood, he took out the biggest casserole from Mrs. Jingci's place, first spread a layer of scallion and ginger slices on the bottom of the casserole, and then neatly put the big square pork belly that had just been scalded to remove the blood Spread it in a casserole, add sauce, sugar and wine, and finally put it directly on the stove and simmer slowly over a low heat.

The cooking of this dish is much simpler than imagined, so that Xiangli looked at Jiang Shaoyan who had already sat down by the small stove with a ponytail, and was a little dazed: "Miss, is this all right?"

Not a meat dish?People say that cooking meat dishes is troublesome!
"Kung fu food takes effort, so we can't say it now." Jiang Shaoyan looked at the small stove in front of him with a smile and waved the fan in his hand one by one, and said, "You can't eat until dusk!"

There is no rush for this pot of food.Xiangli blinked her eyes and moved a small stool to sit beside her, but the little maid was not as determined as Jiang Shaoyan, after sitting for a while, she got up, looked around, pointed to a section of green onion leaf on the cutting board, Ask Jiang Shaoyan: "Miss, is that going to be thrown away?"

Just now, Miss Cai only used the white of the scallion to spread under the meat, and this piece of scallion leaf was left on the cutting board, maybe it was useless!

"Don't throw it away, I'll use it later." Jiang Shaoyan glanced at the scallion leaves on the cutting board, then looked away, continued to shake the fan in her hand, and looked out the door while paying attention to the casserole on the stove.

The hut where Master Jingci practiced quietly is just behind Guangming Nunnery, and because the back door of Guangming Nunnery is open, sitting in the hut can still see the situation in the nunnery. The nuns are now in the nunnery after finishing their afternoon classes Doing chores.

The place where people live naturally needs to be cleaned every day, and the trees and flowers in the nunnery also need to be pruned.

Just like this, Jiang Shaoyan looked from the gate of the nunnery to the inside of the gate of Jiji nunnery, and vaguely heard the sound of the little nun's report from the nunnery.

"There's someone knocking on the door ahead! No, it's smashing the door! That person smashed the door loudly. I climbed up the wall and vaguely saw a man with a fierce look on his face. Sister Jingyuan, do you want to open the door?"

The girl who reported it was Jing An. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she had fallen out of the family, she still had a bit of mischievousness for a girl of her age. Things like climbing walls didn't happen once or twice.

Today's Ching Ming Festival is not the time for the nunnery to open, and the Guangming Nunnery is naturally closed.I think Jiang Shaoyan came to the nunnery for the first time and it was the closing day, and she entered the nunnery only after reporting her name.

The female nun Jingyuan, who was quite talkative in ordinary days, frowned when she heard the word "smashing the door", and said with a calm face: "Don't open the door! Tell him to come back another day, and we don't entertain men here. guest."

Zen Master Huijue is well-known and is a friend of the master, let alone for the time being, and even Zen Master Huijue didn't knock on the door!If every guest who came to the nunnery smashed the door like this, how many doors would she need to change in Guangming Nunnery?
As the most famous Guangming Nunnery in Baoling City, Jingyuan has the confidence to refuse customers.

Xiao Ni Jing'an immediately responded when she heard the words, and with the confidence given by Jingyuan, she hurried to the nunnery to answer.

It was probably because Xiao Ni was running too fast, and I heard Jing Yuan shouting from a distance: "Jing An, your robe is not properly put on, wait..."

The shouting became lower and lower, thinking that Jing Yuan chased Jing An to help her put on her robe again.

Jiang Shaoyan smiled and shook her head, looking away.At this time, the aroma from the casserole on the side has already released, and Xiangli has circled the casserole several times, trying to reach out to open the lid of the casserole several times, but silently put it back, Jiang Shaoyan laughed straight at this action.

I didn't realize it before, but this girl is still a foodie!Seeing this continuous sniffling movement, it can be seen that she is already thinking about this pot of meat that is not yet ready.

Can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Jiang Shaoyan has always been a person who is willing to wait for her tongue, so she shook the fan in her hand and looked at the simmering casserole on the small stove with a smile, paying attention to the heat of the stove. Dispelled Xiangli's idea of ​​wanting to open the lid silently.

The fragrance soon spread from the hut to the Guangming Nunnery in front. Zen Master Huijue, who was revising the prescription with a pen in his hand, took a deep breath and his eyes lit up: "Jingci, can you smell it?"

Jingci rubbed her nose, reminding Zen Master Huijue who couldn't help but was about to lift his feet to look for meat, and said: "Since you want to eat food made by others, you must first help others change the prescription before talking about it!"

Originally, she was serious about changing the prescription, but when the smell came, seeing her as an old friend almost wanted to get into the pot.

However, it's no wonder old friend, the smell is so overbearing, she can hardly bear it anymore.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a burst of screams in front of her, and Master Jingci's smiling face froze immediately, and she hurriedly raised her voice and shouted: "Jingyuan!"

"Hey, master, I'm here!" Jingyuan's reply sounded quickly, but it didn't come from the back nunnery, but from the front.

Master Jingci was taken aback for a moment, and soon saw Jingyuan trotting over with Jing'an, whose eyes were red from crying, and said angrily: "Master, there is a thief who climbed the door of the nunnery to peek at Jing'an's change of clothes. People have caught him, and they are going to take him to the officials!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Jingci, even Zen Master Huijue was stunned.Who is it that actually went up to the nunnery to peek at the nuns changing clothes openly and aboveboard?Isn't this lecherous what is it?If you don't send an official, you will be sorry for the Bodhisattva Buddha enshrined in the nunnery.

Jing Ci's normally pleasant face was covered with frost at this time, Dang even took off a string of Buddhist beads from his hands and handed them to Jing Yuan, "No matter who is not stingy, you just take my Buddhist beads and go The county government is calling for grievances. Don't let these people who are presumptuous in the important place of Buddhism be let go!"

Jing'an was still touching her tears and said: "The little thief just smashed the door outside, and the loud sound of the door smashed me, but I was shocked. After reporting to Senior Sister Jingyuan, I told him that today is the closed nunnery. I didn’t open the door to ask him to come back another day, and I heard him swearing outside. After that, Senior Sister Jingyuan came over and told me that the robe was not properly put on. Thinking that there was no one else in the front nunnery, she simply untied the robe and prepared to put it on again. Halfway through the wear, I suddenly felt something was wrong, and when I turned around, I saw the little thief climbing up the wall, looking at me with his mouth open and drooling!"

Jing'an is young, and there are not many men in the nunnery, even the occasional male guest is a gentleman like Zen Master Huijue who doesn't run around, so she is used to casually in the nunnery, this time it really scared her.

While talking, Jingyuan, who was holding the string of Buddhist beads, went back and forth, and returned the string of Buddhist beads to Mrs. Jingci, she said: "Master, it is a coincidence that when I went out, I met patrolling police officers." Qin Butou. I heard that someone is making trouble in Jiafengxuan today. Qin Butou, who was on patrol, was afraid that there might be trouble, so he stopped by to have a look. He happened to meet him. The disciple wanted to hand over the little thief to Qin Butou, so that He took him back to the yamen." Speaking of this, the disgust on Jingyuan's face became more and more obvious, "Look at that young servant who is dressed like a master, he will teach such a servant, this master Most likely it’s not a good one either!”
