Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 99
The visitor was a guest, not to mention that the identity of this guest was not one that she could easily refuse now. Jiang Shaoyan, who bought a lot of food enough to serve the two of them, greeted Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan with a smile, and invited him in.

The pork in the kitchen has already been bought, and everyone who has done the lion's head once knew the steps involved, and Xiao Wu even took the initiative to go there with a knife to chop the pork.

The kitchen was overcrowded for a while, and Zen Master Huijue and others naturally couldn't squeeze into the kitchen to "make trouble", so they simply drank tea and chatted outside.

But after all, they are not acquaintances, and the difference in background is even bigger.One side is an ascetic monk who has been walking outside for many years, eating and sleeping in the open air, and the other side is an aristocratic son who has never tired of eating and eating since he was a child, so there is naturally nothing to say.

But fortunately, Lin Yan had contact with people from all walks of life in his daily investigations, so the scene would not be chilled.

Listening to Lin Yan and Zen Master Huijue talking about the Dharma with a hammer here and there, Ji Chongyan excused himself to go out after drinking two cups of tea. Walking to the kitchen, through the open window, watching Jiang Shaoyan standing by the window cooking.

Although he had seen the ingredients in the girl's hands, he had never eaten them. After all, things like quail were considered humble in the eyes of the cook of the Duke's Mansion, who was used to seeing good ingredients.

But girls seem to like it tightly.

Not only do I like it, but I can also make the humble things into an elegant hall.

Ji Chongyan just leaned against the window like this, and didn't try to avoid it.Jiang Shaoyan didn't care either, after all, Mo Lian's little cabbage from Songyanzhai was used for incense, and he was a nobleman since he was born.The smoke and fire in the kitchen has nothing to do with him, but he likes to eat. There are a lot of cooks who are willing to study and work hard, and they have bald hair to bring food to him.

I'm used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so it's rare to see such fireworks-filled food occasionally.

Jiang Shaoyan said in her heart that this is human nature: Blindly fine and blindly rough will make people tired, and the correct solution is to have fineness in the rough.

Ji Chongyan watched with great interest as Jiang Shaoyan cut off the head, neck, and feet of the quail, rubbed the whole body of the quail with salt, then poured wine, added sliced ​​green onion and ginger, and put it aside to marinate.

"What kind of dish is this?" Ji Chongyan asked Jiang Shaoyan with great interest.

Jiang Shaoyan looked up at him, and while checking the meat that Xiao Wu had cut and chopped to make the lion's head, he said, "Bad fragrant quail."

Obviously, Ji Chongyan had never eaten such delicious dishes, so he said "Oh" without saying anything, and just continued to watch her cook.

The girl pursed her lips, her cooking expression could be described as focused, and she really liked it.

He folded his arms and looked at it earnestly. His eyes fell on the girl's eyebrows from the girl's hair in a bun. Unlike the light eyebrows that are popular nowadays, her eyebrows are very thick, but their shape is beautiful, like jade. The white and thick black eyebrows are very beautiful with distinct black and white.

Under the eyebrows are her eyes. Due to her slightly plump figure, it is difficult to see the direction of her squeezed facial features, but the eyelashes on her eyes are very thick, casting large shadows like small brushes.Under the brush-like eyelashes are eyes, and at this moment she is looking intently at the flesh in her hand with her eyelids drooping.

Although he couldn't see her eyes, Ji Chongyan still remembered her black and white eyes when she looked towards him, the eyes were charming but cold.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ji Chongyan's lips could not help but curl up, and his eyes gradually brightened as he watched the girl
In his opinion, she is obviously extremely beautiful, but most people always focus their eyes on her slightly plump figure.

Jiang Shaoyan didn't know at all that Xiaobaicai, who was watching her cooking through the window, felt that she was "slightly plump" and she was extremely beautiful, but she just dipped her hands in gorgon powder to shape the meat into big balls.She has already made the lion's head, which is as tender as tofu, and is familiar with all the steps, so she also started to wander.

The fragrant quail on the side is a side dish that goes with wine, so she eats this as a side dish if she doesn't like wine.

In fact, no matter whether it is Dajing before or Dazhou now, she likes pork and quail that ordinary people usually recognize, and there are many foods that are considered humble by people at that time.

Probably because she likes this kind of down-to-earth food. For her, the stewed beef in the famous Huangji stewed beef in Baoling City is easy to dry wood and get stuck between her teeth.

However, for the people of Dazhou, high-end foods such as beef would not be missed if they were available.

In fact, when it comes to beef and mutton, she remembers that there are several eating shops specializing in beef and mutton near Luoma Market in Chang'an, which were opened by Hu people. Take her out to eat.

The reason why she dressed up in disguise was because, as the daughter of Duke Jiang, who is famous and full of elegance, she couldn't eat anything that was not elegant.

Naturally, beef and mutton are not unrefined, but the restaurants she likes have nothing to do with elegance.In winter, eat a bowl of Huji mutton soup cakes just out of the pot, and peel the garlic cloves placed in a small dish with one hand. It is fragrant and hot, especially the spicy garlic with mutton soup cakes, which seems to be soup cakes Infused with soul.

Being able to secretly bring her out of the mansion and send her back without anyone noticing is also one of the reasons why Jiang Shaoyan and General Zhao have a good relationship.

It's just that General Zhao still doesn't understand her.

Every time she finished eating this kind of down-to-earth food, he would smile and hand over the incense-dyed handkerchief, and ask her to wipe the corners of her mouth clean to get rid of the smell on her body.

Of course she knew that General Zhao liked her, and he really liked her.But it's not her that General Zhao likes to be precise. What he likes is Miss Jiang, who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. Even if she takes him to eat such a down-to-earth meal, he only thinks that she is a whim, and occasionally That's all.

But she doesn't know that this side of her is the real her.

It's just that no matter what, it's always true.At first, she thought about how to treat General Zhao.Of course he is excellent, and even if she marries General Zhao Xiao, she will live a smooth and happy life.It's just that she doesn't like him, and what he likes is not the real her.

But fortunately, she didn't suffer from this headache for long in her last life, because both she and General Zhao died early.Jiang Shaoyan twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but also as if she was laughing at herself.

"Miss Jiang Si." A voice suddenly sounded, and Jiang Shaoyan raised her head to look at Ji Chongyan who spoke.

What Ji Chongyan focused on was never the dishes in her hands, but the cook. She lowered her head, and the movements in her hands did not slow down by half a bit, but he still instinctively noticed something was wrong, so he came out He called out to her.

The girl raised her head upon hearing the sound, her black and white eyes were slightly red in the smoke from the kitchen.
