Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 13 The Kind with Pork Belly

After blanching the fresh tender bamboo shoots, put them in cold water immediately, which can remove the bitterness while still maintaining its crispness.

Of course, during this process, the control of the heat is very important. If you accidentally overcook the bamboo shoots, the tender bamboo shoots will immediately become soft, and you will lose your appetite just by looking at them.

The bamboo shoots that have been simply processed can still stand upright when pinched by hand, which shows that the blanching is just right.

Xiaoxiao gave herself a compliment, and then dragged out from the kitchen the bamboo net board that her elder brother had been pestering to make.

There is no technical content in this thing, just interlaced bamboo slices to form a flat plate with gaps.

Xiaoxiao arranged the treated bamboo shoots in rows, and then stuffed them into the stove with the fire on the bamboo net.

The distance between the bamboo net board and the flame was about the distance of her fist, which was just enough to allow the bamboo shoots on it to be heated evenly without burning them.

When the bamboo shoots shrank slightly, she pulled back the bamboo net and asked Rong Yan outside.

"Spicy food?"

Rong Yan paused slightly: "It's okay to say a little."

Xiaoxiao asked again: "Do you eat garlic?"

Rong Yan didn't speak, he's not squeamish, really, he doesn't eat garlic, that's the problem with garlic, it's too stinky.

So Xiaoxiao picked out a sweet and spicy sauce for him that she mixed herself, which is mainly fresh and sweet, and only a little bit of chili powder is added, which is more used as a garnish.

Rong Yan looked at the chili red in the sauce, hesitated for a while, and took a hard bite under Xiaoxiao's suspicious gaze, he was stunned after eating, the sauce was not spicy at all, the bamboo shoots were extremely crispy after biting into it, There is a touch of sweetness in the salty fragrance, which is not easy to be detected.

The stomach that had been tortured several times seemed to be redeemed, he quickly opened his mouth and bit down again.

Xiaoxiao rested her chin to watch him eat, and handed him another one after eating one, completely immersed in the joy of successful feeding.

Rong Yan, who grew up in Jinyi Yushi, didn't expect that he would be interested in such a rough food, and he didn't expect that he would eat five or six sticks without knowing it.

After eating, the roots of his ears turned red and he thought: "Food is the most important thing for the people". The ancients did not deceive me.

No matter what status or status, from the emperor to the common people, "eating" is a major event in life.

He started to make up plans in his head, but Xiaoxiao only felt that this young man ate too little.

When encountering such diners, she usually does a self-reflection first—is the food not delicious?Still no appetite?
So she took out another bamboo shoot from the stove: "Why don't you try another taste?"

This was just heard by Mrs. Song, who angrily poked her daughter's forehead with her fingertip.

A few wild bamboo shoots are used as treasures, and they are also used to entertain guests, which is only made by her daughter.

The young man is good at seeing his family's situation, and eating a few bites is enough to give him face, so why don't you come?
She smiled apologetically at Rong Yan: "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality, young master."

Rong Yan got up and bent down to bow: "Auntie, Miss Ning's cooking skills are very good, so I take the liberty to bother you."

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's good for Auntie to call me Ayan."

Mrs. Song liked this good-looking and polite young man very much, but the family was really ugly and couldn't bring out anything suitable for entertaining him, so after chatting for a few words and seeing him leave, he didn't want to keep him.

Xiaoxiao is in charge of seeing off guests—even though they live next door, etiquette must not be forgotten. Their mother has always attached great importance to the tutoring of the brothers and sisters.

However, on the way to give it away, she still couldn't help muttering: "Actually, the bamboo shoots baked with the skins have a special flavor. The moment the bamboo shoot shells are peeled off, the fragrance will go straight into the nostrils! If there is fat and thin pork belly, slice it into thin slices." , roll up the bamboo shoots, and bake them with my secret sauce, the taste is amazing!"

Rong Yan: ...What's going on when you're suddenly hungry again?

When it comes to food, this girl is just like Aunt Xiao's royal chef, she's so vivid, so specific, and so flavorful.

Thinking about it this way, her eyes seemed a little familiar.

Xiaoxiao found that when she was talking, Rong Yan would look at her quietly, which made Xiaoxiao, who was always disliked for talking too much, feel very satisfied and satisfied.

If you are not careful, you will talk more: "I can make a lot of sauces, sweet, salty, spicy, sour, as long as you can think of it, I can make it!"

"I found that you don't like onions and garlic, so do you prefer salty or sweet food?"

Rong Yan's Adam's apple twitched, and he answered honestly, "Sweet."

Xiaoxiao felt that she was cute, and imagining how such a good-looking young man was eating dessert, she was suddenly full of motivation!

But only for a moment, because in this era, sugar is a luxury, and her family can't afford it.

But she still said seriously: "I remember, I will make sweet sauce for you next time."

After speaking, he turned around and ran back to his home quickly.

When the guard received Rong Yan at the door, he just heard this sentence, and his expression was a little puzzled.

When did the master become so familiar with the girl next door?
Hey, isn't this the girl who took their pigeons?

Before he straightened his mind, Rong Yan asked calmly, "What did you hunt for?"

Yun Yi who came back from trying his luck in the mountains with Zhao Hu shook his head, Rong Yan didn't speak, but the guards could read the clear disgust from his eyes.

Yun Yi, who was also ranked among the Ouchi guards, was very aggrieved. Didn't he want to hide his strength?

But judging from the meaning of the master, he hoped that he would hunt the prey?

He tentatively asked, "What do you think I should hunt better?"

Rong Yan said calmly and naturally: "Wild boar."

He added: "The kind with pork belly."

Yun Yi:? ? ? ? ?
