Those things about the landlady

Chapter 21

For several consecutive days, the sky was clear and the temperature rose accordingly. When the warm spring sun shines, people become lazy.

Shu Ran loves to stay in the courtyard the most, looking at the peach blossoms blooming on the branches in the courtyard, smelling the unique breath of spring, she is very lazy and comfortable.

Because of her pregnancy, Shu Ran is very lethargic now. The two daughters are considerate and sensible, and they only come to greet her every day and have breakfast with her.

Today, Ben and Master Yao made an appointment to visit his younger brother at Shu's house. There was something urgent in the front yard. Master Yao asked the servant to come over and pass the message, saying that he would wait for a while, so Shu Ran simply lay down in the courtyard to enjoy the scenery.

Yunshan walked into the main courtyard with a smile on her face, saw her wife squinting her eyes as if sleeping, and said softly:
"Ma'am, I just went to the big kitchen to have a look. The three chefs have already prepared the dishes in a decent way. The servants in the mansion are all feasting on their mouths."

Shu Ran opened her eyes and looked at her, and said indifferently, "After practicing for so long, if you still haven't improved, then just change someone."

Yun Shan thought about it too, this should be the job of cooks.

"My wife is right. The waiter at Yamozhai sent a lot of green shrimps, all of which are plump and fresh. How does my wife want to eat these shrimps?"

Recently, all the dishes in Yao's mansion are delivered from Yamozhai. After all, the chefs are practicing their skills in the mansion, so dishes are always indispensable.

Although Shu Ran had morning sickness, her appetite was not bad. The main reason was that she vomited without eating, and vomited after eating. It felt better when she vomited with something in her stomach.

"This green shrimp is a good thing, it can supplement calcium for the fetus in the abdomen."

Shu Ran has never been pregnant, but when her best friend was pregnant, she often studied recipes for her, and she knew a lot.

"Calcium? What kind of strange thing is that? Can't we buy calcium and eat it directly?"

Yunshan was very puzzled by this strange word, and Shu Ran was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Calcium is a nutrient that the body needs, and it can make children's bones develop better. In short, it is a good thing."

Yun Shan nodded half-understanding, anyway, what the wife said was not wrong.

"The prawns are all fresh. If they are used for dinner, they will probably die. Should we go to the uncle's mansion for lunch, or go back to the mansion?"

If Master Yao had nothing to do before, they would have gone early and returned early, and they would have been able to come back for lunch, but at this hour, it is obviously impossible.

"You take a small wooden bucket, put less water, don't let it run out of freshwater shrimp, let's take it back to my mother's house to eat, I will cook by myself, just in time to talk to my brother."

No matter how old Shu Jun is at the age of 13, he is still a child in Shu Ran's eyes, and he has no parents to rely on. As a sister, I always need to care more.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Master Yao striding over, probably heard what she said, and said apologetically:
"I kept you waiting for a long time. The carriage at the porter's side has been arranged. Let's go. Shu Jun should wait in a hurry."

Yun Shan hurriedly helped her up, Shu Ran was wearing clothes for going out, so she didn't need to change, the husband and wife could set off directly, while Yun Shan ran to get the shrimp.

Ever since Shu Ran became pregnant, whenever she went out, she would ride in a specially padded carriage with thick cushions, for fear of jolting her to the ground.

The carriage was moving steadily and fast. Although Caohe Town was big, it took only three quarters of an hour to arrive.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Shu Jun came up with the old housekeeper, and when the coachman put the pedals away, Shu Jun hurried forward to help her.

Just like in memory, Shu Jun is a handsome and elegant young man. Although he is young, he looks steady and down-to-earth, with smiles on his brows and eyes.

"Sister, wait a little longer. I heard that you are pregnant again. I specially put incense on my parents and told them the good news."

In the face of such sincere concern, Shu Ran softened, and she smiled and said: "It's God's mercy, I see that your clothes are a bit thin, even though it's spring, but if you don't wear less, you won't suffer from the cold." Perceived."

Shu Jun said obediently: "I punched a set earlier, and my body is hot, so I don't wear much, sister don't need to worry."

The siblings talked about family life like no one else, but completely ignored Master Yao. Although he had a cold face, he was not caring about every detail, but he couldn't bear to be neglected by his wife.

"Didn't you bring a bucket of green shrimp? You have to figure out what to do. Let me talk to Brother Jun first."

Hearing what his brother-in-law said, Shu Jun hurriedly said: "There is a cook in the house, so my sister doesn't have to work hard."

Shu Ran waved her hand and said with a smile: "The prawns I brought over are of excellent quality. If I let the cook cook them, I'm afraid I'll waste the ingredients. You guys chat first, and I'll come as soon as I go."

Seeing her appearance of being afraid of being blocked by him, Shu Jun couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Master Yao: "I always feel that my sister is a little different."

Master Yao picked up the teacup and said indifferently: "People will always change, and they will have different ideas at different stages. It is very good that your sister is like this now."

Shu Ran didn't care what they were talking about, she went into the kitchen, and the cooks in the mansion were all old, so they greeted her a little excitedly.

Shu Ran has felt very at ease since entering the Shu Mansion. Although there are few people in the mansion, they all welcome her very much.

After chatting with everyone for a while, she came to deal with the fresh shrimp, Yun Shan had already cleaned the shrimp.

Shu Ran squeezed the fresh shrimp into kernels, this step was also done by Yunshan, Shu Ran only made one and handed it over to her.

After all the shrimps came out, she mixed them with dry starch and asked the cook to dice the shiitake mushrooms and magnolia slices, and broke the crispy rice into small pieces.

When everything is ready, Shu Ran pours the cooked lard into a spoon, heats it on a high fire, puts in the shrimps and spreads them out, and takes them out immediately after the shrimps turn white.

Leave a little oil in the spoon again, add ginger magnolia slices and diced shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry, then add seasoning, wait for the shrimps to boil, thicken with thinned wet starch.

In addition, pour the peanut oil into the frying pan, put in the crispy rice when it is [-]% hot, wait for its volume to expand, remove it and put it on the plate, quickly pour the shrimp and tomato sauce on the crispy rice, and it will squeak. become.

The news from the kitchen had already reached Shu Jun's ears. Shu Jun was a little excited to be able to eat the dishes cooked by his sister.

After all, Shu Ran was pregnant, and it was a bit difficult to cook a dish, but she didn't cook all of them.

After all the dishes on the table were brought out, it made this dish stand out.

The smile on Shu Jun's face never stopped. After his sister and husband moved their chopsticks, he couldn't wait to stretch them out.

Shrimp entered the mouth, chewed lightly, and the face was full of surprises.

"Sister, what's the name of this dish?"

Shu Ran held another chopstick for him, and introduced softly:

"It's called Peach Blossom Pan. The finished product is as delicious as green shrimp, crispy as a crispy crust, and as lustrous as tomato. It is known for its sound, color and aroma."

Shu Jun was full of admiration, "I never knew that there is so much knowledge in the kitchen. It can be seen that there are really 360 lines to make a champion. But if you do one thing to the extreme, you are a real master."

Shu Ran raised her eyebrows, this younger brother is really not simple, he is so transparent at such a young age.
