Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 56 Entertaining Lin Xiuhan

Gu Yu felt that his prince was a little unhappy, and said, "Probably not. However, young master Chu often has new things here, so it's not surprising that Lin Xiuhan is attracted. After all, he is the parent official of Hui'an County.

It is said that a few days ago, he even asked the imperial court for a commendation from Wang Carpenter, who made the waterwheel.This must be Master Chu's request to give up the credit.Then Lin Xiuhan must have known Mr. Chu a long time ago. "

Xiao Yilin knew Lin Xiuhan.Lin Xiuhan is the second son of Lin's eldest son from a wealthy family in the capital.He is also well-known in the capital, and he is a young man with many talents and knowledge.

Gu Yu continued: "Although Lin Xiuhan comes from the Lin family, there are many outstanding children from the direct branch of the Lin family, and the competition is fierce. It is said that Lin Xiuhan is indifferent by nature, and he is unwilling to compete with his brothers for the opportunity to leave the capital voluntarily. He came to this relatively remote Hui'an County to be the county magistrate. Judging from his behavior during his stay in Hui'an County, he can be regarded as a good official."

Xiao Yilin nodded, "I hope so. With Lin Xiuhan's support, Mr. Chu will be more stable here."

Qiao Hong and his sister helped Jing Yi cook quickly.Not long after, a strong fragrance wafted from the kitchen.

Feng Zhi sniffed, "Young Master Chu must be cooking braised pork again today. Mr. Lin is really lucky to have Young Master Chu cook delicious food for him."

Xiao Yilin frowned slightly when he heard this, and continued to read the book in his hand, but he couldn't read it anymore.

Lin Xiuhan and Wang Xuhuai in the living room couldn't sit still, it was so delicious, I don't know what dish is so delicious, it must be meat.

It was Jing Yi's first time making sweet and sour pork ribs.Put the ribs marinated with soy sauce and other seasonings into the pot and deep-fry until golden, then put all the ribs in the pot, pour in the water for marinating the ribs, a few spoonfuls of sugar, and a bowl of broth. Add half a teaspoon of salt to taste.Then simmer for 10 minutes on low heat and then collect the juice on high heat. When the juice is collected, add a spoonful of vinegar at the end, and the sweet and sour taste will come out.Sprinkle some chopped green onions when it comes out of the pan.

The finished sweet and sour pork ribs are fresh and tender, and the finished dishes are bright red and oily.Just looking at it whets the appetite.Jing Yi tasted a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. Although it was not the best, it was still delicious.

There are many people in the family, so there are several servings of this sweet and sour pork ribs, so Jing Yi also cooks more.The two pork ribs at home seemed to be too many, so I finished these two meals.

The sweet and sour pork ribs were ready, and the braised pork was almost ready, so Jing Yi started to stir-fry other dishes.The last is pork ball soup.

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to clean up the tables in the living room, and then began to serve the dishes.

The dishes were served one after another, and the aroma was so strong that Lin Xiuhan looked at the dishes on the table, but he had never seen any of them.He asked Village Chief Wang, and Village Chief Wang shook his head, "It's also the first time I've seen these dishes."

Lin Xiuhan thought he had seen the world, even he had participated in many banquets in the palace, but he had never seen such dishes on the dinner table.Is this what country people eat?
But looking at the attractive appearance of these dishes, and they are all meat dishes, how could they be affordable by country people?He knew that peasants in the countryside did not eat meat a few times a year.

Could it be the special dish of Mr. Chu's hometown?It felt impossible again.

After the last meatball soup was served, Jing Yi arranged the meals for Lord Jing and the others before washing her face to accompany the guests.

Village head Wang pulled Jing Yi and said, "Jing Yan, what kind of dishes are these? I've never seen them before. Tell us quickly."

Previously, there was wine among the things sent by Prince Jing's mansion, but today Jing Yi borrowed flowers to present Buddha and took out an altar to entertain the guests.

Sitting at the table, Jing Yi poured wine for Lin Xiuhan and Village Chief Wang and said, "I came up with this all myself. This dish is braised pork, this is sweet and sour pork ribs, potted tenderloin, and Mushu pork. This is pork ball soup. Lord Lin, Uncle Wang, try it and see if it tastes good."

Seeing that both of them were waiting to move their chopsticks, Lin Xiuhan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with the chopsticks.

The pork ribs are fresh and tender, sweet and sour, and the aroma of meat is so delicious.Lin Xiuhan felt that this was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.

With the surprise of the spare ribs, Lin Xiuhan tried the braised pork again, which was even more delicious.Lin Xiuhan felt that the meat he ate before was simply incomparable.

He also tasted other dishes, really nothing to say.

He looked at the young man in front of him with shining eyes, "Young master Chu, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. To be honest, I have never eaten such a delicious dish. Today is really an eye-opener. Why is the sweet and sour pork ribs this color? How can this meat be so delicious?"

Jing Yi said: "This is because there is soy sauce in it, which is a kind of seasoning, which I made myself. It is specially used for stewing meat and stir-frying vegetables. I can hardly do without soy sauce in my usual cooking."

As soon as Lin Xiuhan heard it, he knew that there must be a secret recipe, so he couldn't ask any more questions.After all, it was created by others.

Several people in Xiao Yilin's room were also eating.

Feng Zhi said: "Today's meal is really rich. It seems that Mr. Chu specially entertained Mr. Lin. Mr. Chu also specially accompanied Mr. Lin to eat. He has never accompanied our lord to eat before. Let Lin Xiu Han took the lead."

As soon as Feng Zhi's words came out, Gu Yu felt that his prince was not happy.

He gave Feng Zhi a blank look, "Eating can't stop you. Mr. Lin is the parent officer of Hui'an County, how can Mr. Chu neglect him."

Gu Yu served a bowl of meatball soup for his lord, "My lord, Mr. Chu said this meatball soup is very good. The meat is minced, so it's easier to digest. You can eat more."

Xiao Yilin didn't say anything and continued to eat.

Lin Xiuhan had a full meal and felt that today's trip was really worthwhile. He tasted delicious food, opened his eyes and learned something.

Before leaving, Lin Xiuhan said: "Mr. Chu, thank you for your hospitality today, and let me taste a delicious meal. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. I am the parent officer of Hui'an County, and I hope that the people here will The common people can have enough food and clothing. I hope Mr. Chu's winter wheat trial will be successful."

After sending Lin Xiu away, Han Jingyi continued to go to the field to watch the harvest.

When Xiao Zhen received Gu Yu's news, he sent someone to buy the remaining vegetables from Jing Yi's place in the name of a businessman, and then shipped them all to Fucheng.

This is also to protect the Chu family, so that people will not suspect that Prince Jing's residence has contacts with the Chu family.

The vegetables that Jingyi grows are very good even if they are sold in the market, and there is no need to worry about selling them.

Xiao Zhen was also very satisfied when he saw the food brought back.He opened the letter from his prince, which said that they are doing well in the Chu family.Xiao Zhen was very happy to see his prince's health improved greatly.It was a wise decision to let my prince go to the Chu family to recuperate.

Xiao Zhen thought of the news he just received today, so he wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to the Chu family to his prince.
