Jinghua little cook

Chapter 18

Erniang didn't come back in the evening, so Lu Xiling and Bean Sprout simply ate and went back to the house to soak their feet.

It was too troublesome for the two to use a bucket.

While soaking her feet, Lu Xiling was still thinking about how to discuss this matter with Erniang.

Her feet were stuck in the hot water in a daze, and she suddenly came back to her senses when it was so hot, she bared her teeth and screamed.

The bean sprouts sitting on the other side of the barrel were taken aback, and the jade noodles in their hands fell into the water.

The little girl was also afraid of being hot, but she cared more about the food. She reached in with her slender hands without hesitation, and scooped up the jade-tipped noodles intact.

Lu Xiling knew that she couldn't stop her from speaking, so she said, "I will pay you tomorrow."

A Ling would not lie to her, Bean Sprout smiled flatteredly, and felt that she had made a profit, so she happily took a bite.

To prevent the oil from dripping into the bucket, Lu Xiling put a handkerchief on her lap by the way.

"I didn't expect Ah Ling to be so good-looking and have such a good temper. Now I am looking forward to when you can earn enough money to buy me away."

Seeing Bean Sprout's serious look, Lu Xiling smiled: "What's the hurry, Erniang is doing pretty well right now."

"...Good or good." Bean Sprout said coyly, "It depends on who you compare with. Comparing with the previous master is simply the difference between the world and hell. Can you do it later?"

Lu Xiling was surprised when she heard this. Could it be that she has been busy with work these days and neglected the interpersonal relationship in the store?

No, Er Niang has hardly been back to the shop recently.

"Yeah, I haven't been back, don't you think it's strange?" Bean Sprout crossed his arms and said, "Aren't you afraid that Erniang will run away with Mr. Yonglang? Then you and I won't be able to take care of ourselves."

Lu Xiling laughed "puchi".

Bean sprouts puffed up her cheeks and said, "Don't believe me! Erniang is very fond of Mr. Yonglang!"

Lu Xiling had never met this Yonglang before, but he heard that this man was a man of integrity, and that he could not get through the imperial examination, so he went from family to family to pay homage, hoping to find a position as an aide.

From this point of view, there is a desire to do better.

The appearance should also be good, otherwise Sun Xiangu would not be so arrogant that she would stick to a down-and-out scholar.

As for the friendship with Erniang... Listening to Dou Sprout, it should be from the bottom of her heart.

Now that Lang loves concubines, everyone is no longer a child, and it is not surprising that they have not returned for several nights.

Bean sprouts pouted: "But what if Erniang followed him back to Sichuan!"

"What are you doing back in Shuzhong?"

For the past few days, Lu Xiling was busy with the business in the store, and Bean Sprout had nothing to do, so she turned on her little gossip radar.

"I've also heard from the scholars who bought the fruit. The situation is not peaceful recently. The country gentry in various states are making a lot of noise because of the grain reform. It is estimated that His Majesty is worried that the former queen will take the opportunity to bring her youngest son to rebel. We are about to send the former Dibei Jiedu envoy to Sichuan to quell the chaos."

Bean Sprout whispered: "Mr. Yonglang has gotten very close to this Jiedu Envoy recently!"

Dibei Jiedu is Emperor Qing's confidant, so it is only natural that he be sent to Shuzhong, but Erniang's sweetheart has no official position, so it is too far-fetched to follow him all the way.

Bean Sprout shook his head: "Forget it if you don't believe me, my right eyelid has been twitching a lot these days, just wait and see the result!"

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiling nodded, waiting and waiting for Yi Yi to dodge herself, left and right are just a matter of going or staying, it is better to take the initiative to inquire.

In the back kitchen the next day, Lu Xiling took off her apron, and served the delicious food promised by Bean Sprout last night. Bean Sprout couldn't wait to reach for it, but was beaten back, so she had to obediently wait for the food on the plate to cool.

"It's the first time I eat Sophora japonica dumplings. I don't know what it tastes like." The bean sprouts' face was almost stuck to the plate, and the heat of the dumplings turned into water droplets on the nose.

Wrinkled the tip of the nose and sniffed hard, the tip of the nose lingered with a faint aroma, the fragrance of flowers was strong, and the smell of meat seemed to be absent. In the mixed smell of flowers and meat, from time to time, one could smell a familiar spicy scent.

Looking at the milky white dumpling wrappers, the light green fillings are faintly revealed in the whiteness. The petals of the locust tree flowers should be yellowish white after being soaked in water, but what about the green ones.

Lu Xiling smiled: "The green ones are chive flowers."

There are quite a few people in this dynasty who only use Sophora japonica mixed with stuffing to make dumplings, but Lu Xiling feels that using only one ingredient has a single taste.

What did an old gourmet once say?

You have to taste both sweet and bitter, and people have a wider taste to be cute!

In Lu Xiling's eyes, Sophora japonica dumplings and chive flowers are golden partners.

Bean Sprouts nodded, and his eyes returned to the dumplings. The windows in the kitchen were all open, and the morning breeze was blowing for a while, and the heat in the plate was no longer as dense as before.

Bean Sprout pursed her lips and looked at Lu Xiling eagerly.

Lu Xiling coaxed the other party: "Er Niang went to pick up the post and will be back soon."

That's right, before the host's family had dinner, Erniang found out when she came back, she was going to be beaten again.

With great difficulty, he swallowed the gluttonous insect back, but fortunately, in the time it took to sigh, Hu Erniang rushed back with the wind blowing under her feet.

While walking quickly, he said: "Feng Shui turns, if you don't have money, you can't hook your relatives, and if you have power, you can't beat those unjust friends!"

Lu Xiling glanced at it, and it was her family Yonglang who said this.

Putting the resentment aside temporarily, Hu Erniang was attracted by the fragrance in front of her.

From the appearance, it is easy to see that there are more vegetables in the dumpling filling and less meat, but for some reason, I just think that the dumplings should taste very good, and they can be more fragrant than pure meat.

"Sit down and eat together!"

Hu Erniang moved the chopsticks first, followed by bean sprouts.

The dumplings were made by Hu Erniang and Lu Xiling together, and they were fished out and placed on a plate, so it was easy to tell which one was made by whom.

Dumplings are like a person, A Ling is skillful, and the dumplings made are also exquisite and small, and each one is in the shape of an ingot, just looking at it is gratifying.

Hu Erniang's dumplings were as big as a fist, and they couldn't fit in one mouthful. The edges of the dumplings were ragged and fluffy, and they looked like milky white fungus when they were fanned.

But no matter which shape it is, the taste is the same, it's all stuffing made by Lu Xiling, the taste is enough to whet the appetite, and it's not for sale, so the appearance is even more unimportant.

The skin is thin, the stuffing is big and the juice is full, and one bite is dipped in the seasoning sauce.

While exhaling hot air, the bean sprouts said vaguely: "It's fragrant, why is it more fragrant than meat."

Hu Erniang also echoed: "Although there is less meat, I think our dumplings are more delicious than those wrapped in oil and meat."

She couldn't tell what it was like, but she simply felt that eating too much meat would make her tired, and the feeling in her mouth was that the more she ate, the more she thought about it, and the more she ate, the warmer she felt in her stomach.

Lu Xiling added: "Fresh and refreshing."

Hu Erniang slapped the table and nodded like a pounding garlic, isn't that the word!

Lu Xiling was amused by the startled proprietress, and in a flash of inspiration, she told the two of them the Sophora japonica Sutra.

"If you ask what is the most suitable flower for food, it must be Sophora japonica. Have you heard of Sophora japonica three times?"

The two shook their heads together.

When it comes to eating, Lu Xiling's eyes shine brightly: "Sophora japonica rice, sophora japonica cake, fried sophora japonica. In fact, there are far more ways to make sophora japonica. If you really make them all, it can be called a Sophora japonica feast."

"Hey, Ba Shi is very..."

Hu Erniang was dumbfounded, did she feel that her coming to the capital for so many years was in vain?Haven't eaten anything but fruit.

Not to mention the bean sprouts, if you are hungry, you will be full, even if you are full, it will be like swill. The [-] pleats of jade sharp noodles were bought by Hu Erniang before eating.

"If I can eat the Sophora japonica feast, it would be my luck to be sold here in this life."

Lu Xiling raised her eyebrows.

"This year's rain is heavy, and the pagoda tree flowers are almost gone. Wait for next year, and next year I will make a pagoda tree feast for you!"

Hu Erniang, who was sitting across from her, almost choked: "Tomorrow, next year..."
