Chapter 35 Dragon and Phoenix Congee

On the way, Grandma Jiang chatted with Grandma Qin all the way, and only then did she realize that Madam Dong hadn't slept well or eaten well in the past two days.

Granny Jiang took the opportunity to bring up the snake porridge, saying that she just stewed snake porridge today and wanted to give it to the old lady, and asked Grandma Qin if it was suitable.

"It's okay, the old lady's mouth is bitter after taking medicine, and she doesn't even like delicacies from mountains and seas. If it's your homemade porridge, maybe it's worth trying."

When we arrived at the Dong Mansion, Grandma Jiang followed Grandma Qin to see Mrs. Dong, and ordered Li Changhu to send Miss Jiang to sell cakes on the street as before, and not to pick her up. walk over.

Grandma Jiang had been selling vegetables all her life, but it was her first time entering Dong's Mansion. Before, she would only deliver vegetables to the back door of Dong's Mansion. This time, she was able to follow Grandma Qin in, so she paid attention to it.

Along the way, Grandma Jiang held the cup of porridge, lowered her eyebrows, and followed Grandma Qin quietly.

Dong's Mansion has always been low-key. The whitewashed outer wall has no special decoration, but it is a full two-story building.

They entered through the side door, and saw a small courtyard, not a single person, only a shadow against the wall, the floor was covered with mosaic tiles spread out like ripples, the flowers and trees in the courtyard were sparse but not gaudy, and the fragrance of golden osmanthus was faintly flowing in the air .

After turning a corner along the promenade, I slowly saw people, but it was still quiet and not noisy, but the servants and maids who came and went bowed their heads when they saw Grandma Qin, and called Qin Nanny respectfully.

Only then did Grandma Jiang realize that her old sister still had a lot of face in the Dong Mansion.

Grandma Qin was familiar with the road, copied two small paths and went directly through the rockery, and soon arrived at the Songhe Courtyard of the old lady.

The gatekeeper of Songhe Courtyard saw her, and hurriedly opened the door without asking any questions, saying that your old man is coming.

Grandma Qin went in without saying anything. After Grandma Jiang followed in, she looked around secretly. There were orchids and pine bonsai everywhere in the Songhe Courtyard, and the overall color was very plain.

Grandma Qin let someone pass it on, and the two of them were quickly let in.

"You old woman! The older you get, the more obedient you are. You won't come unless you're asked, right?"

Mrs. Dong was lying on the imperial concubine chair at the top, and the two little maids beside her were beating their legs and pinching their hands, but the old lady's face was so haggard that she couldn't even cover her powder. Seeing Grandma Qin coming in, she insisted on holding on Got up and cursed.

"The old lady seems to be in good health, and she is so quick to swear, I am relieved to hear it."

"You will arrange me, who is this?"

"This is my old sister. Their family planted the cabbage feather before."

"You can still have sisters with your dead personality, and it's because people look at you pitifully. The food is delicious. Are you here to deliver food today?"

"Going back to the old lady, I still have to wait three days for the cabbage feather vegetables. I will definitely bring them to the old lady on the day of the big fair. Today, the family has stewed nourishing porridge, which is very warm and nourishing, so I specially brought it to the old lady to taste."

Grandma Jiang was a little nervous when she replied, but after all, she had been selling vegetables for many years and saw a lot of things in the world, so she quickly calmed down, and carefully handed the porridge in her hand to the little maid beside her.

"Qiaoying, look at it."

Qiaoying made a promise, put the porridge on the corner table, opened it in front of everyone, and immediately filled the room with fragrance, the off-white porridge, embellished with green onion and finely minced snake meat, is very beautiful.

Mrs. Dong had no appetite at first, her mouth was dry and bitter, and she took the porridge just to save Grandma Qin's face, but now her body fluid was drawn out by the smell of the porridge.

"Qiaoying, present it."

Qiaoying went into the inner room and took out a white porcelain cup and spoon, and gently stirred the porridge with a long silver spoon. Seeing nothing unusual, she carefully filled a small half bowl and served it up.

It happened that Mrs. Dong also came to hear the news at this time, she just stepped into the inner hall but saw her mother-in-law eating porridge, she couldn't help being surprised.

Mrs. Dong skipped dinner yesterday and lunch the day before yesterday, and told her not to eat a mouthful of rice today, but now she is eating porridge?

I saw Qiaoying feeding Mrs. Dong little by little, but Mrs. Dong didn't frown, scold or refuse, and finished the small bowl of porridge in a few mouthfuls.

Everyone held their breath, fearing that Mrs. Dong would drop the bowl in the next second, but who knew that Mrs. Dong asked for another bowl.

"Has Chef Li used his box-pressing skills today? What kind of porridge is so delicious? Give me a bowl too!"

Mrs. Dong moved forward with a smile, trying to see the porridge clearly, but Mrs. Dong gave her a sideways look:
"It's Yinglan's filial piety to me, and it's all mine."

"It's rare that my mother likes it so much. Mother Qin really has a heart. I don't know if this porridge has a name? Do you know how to make it? So that Chef Li can learn from it."

"Ma'am, this is the porridge cooked by the mother-in-law of the Jiang family. The cabbage feather that the old lady loves to eat last time is also grown by her family."

Madam Dong then set her sights on Grandma Jiang.

Grandma Jiang has gray hair, slightly dry hair, combed very neatly, she is dressed in countryman's clothes but is neatly tidied up, the packaging of the porridge is not stylish, but simple and elegant.

"Grandma Jiang's family is a capable person, Cui Liu, give it to Grandma Jiang's family for me."

Mrs. Dong was very straightforward, and directly asked someone to reward Grandma Jiang with a purse.

"Madam Xie gave me a reward. This porridge is called Dragon and Phoenix Porridge. It is stewed with water snake meat and old hen. I have also asked the doctor. It is quite suitable for the old lady to keep warm. I just caught two snakes at home yesterday, so I have this opportunity." .”

"Longfeng porridge is a good name, and the taste is quite good. Give Yi'er a bowl, and you should try it too. This snake porridge is very good for the skin."

Mrs. Dong stopped after eating two small bowls of porridge. The porridge rice was soft and rotten, the broth was refreshing, and the snake meat was tender. She hadn't eaten so comfortably for a long time.

Dong Yi is the eldest son of Dong's mansion and the eldest grandson of Mrs. Dong, and she loves her so much that his servants rushed to deliver the porridge.

"Hearing what mother said, isn't this the first time you've eaten snake porridge?"

Mrs. Dong had never eaten snake porridge, and when she heard that it was made of snake meat, she was a little apprehensive, but the aroma was so attractive that she hesitated when she stirred the spoon.

"In the past, your father-in-law sent Nanhai overseas, and we ate it twice, but none of them tasted as good. Time flies, and 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

If you dare not eat it, give it to Cui Liu!Don't force yourself. "

Mrs. Dong was born in a family in the capital, and Mrs. Dong, who passed away many years ago, was also a high-ranking official, but this is all in the past.

After the old lady said so, Madam Dong had no choice but to bite the bullet and took a bite, but this bite made her want to stop, and she finished eating a small bowl before she knew it, and she felt a little regretful when she saw the bottom of the bowl.

The Dong family has never eaten any big fish and meat, and they don't actually cook any big dishes for home-cooked meals. They usually have five dishes and one soup, and the combination of meat and vegetables is also delicious.

But this dragon and phoenix porridge is superior in that it tastes light at the first taste, and it has an aftertaste after another taste. The chopped green onion is sweet and crisp, which has a finishing touch. The whole porridge is not exquisite, but it is indeed warming the heart and stomach.

Madam Dong pursed the corners of her lips with a silk handkerchief. She almost couldn't hold back just now, and wanted to have another bowl.

 Hahaha I feel like I'm writing a food article, and I always want to find some way to make money for the Jiang family. The author will try my best to write so that everyone doesn't think it's hydrology!
