Jinghua little cook

Chapter 74 Crayfish

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Xiling began to look forward to it.

In the General's Mansion before, she would make zongzi herself, sweet, salty, egg yolk, red bean paste, braised pork, there are so many kinds.

Her wrapping skills are not good, Bai Ye often joked that what she tied was not like rice dumplings, but shaped like elbows, so later this person arranged for her to wash the rice and vegetables, and pack the meat dumplings himself, which can be regarded as a gift for the festival. force.

It doesn't hurt to talk about it, but it doesn't make much sense to spend the whole day on the holy feast.

This year was her first year celebrating outside the palace, she played more tricks than in the palace, and the atmosphere was more lively than in the palace.

As soon as she got up, she exchanged blessings with Bean Sprout, and Bean Sprout was steaming rice dumplings in the back kitchen.

Lu Xiling was busy in the front hall tying white strings, cutting red paper, and pasting five poisons.

All these tasks had to be ready before the guests came in, especially Bai Suozi, who had already announced it on the billboard.

All customers who enter the store, whether they are eating wine or resting their feet, will be given one, which is regarded as good fortune.

"Sister Ah Ling, this is the wormwood that my mother bought in Xishi, can I put it on the door of our house?" Liang Chen waved the green plant in his hand.

Lu Xiling thanked her with a smile, but she refused to accept the things.

"Why don't you use it?" Liang Chen glanced at the mugwort in his hand, then turned his head and pointed at every household in the streets and alleys, and said, "Dragon Boat Festival is hung in every house. It can not only repel mosquitoes, but also ward off evil spirits and pray for good fortune. Ah Ling Even if my sister doesn't believe this, it should be in line with the scene."

She dressed up the restaurant like a wedding scene, isn't it suitable for the occasion?
Lu Xiling did it out of practical considerations—

"The smell of wormwood is strong, and some customers can't bear it. If they smell too much, they may sneeze, and if they go to the hospital late, even the doctor can't save them."

It's not that she scares children.

The level of medical treatment in ancient times was limited. She really knew that some people were allergic to this substance, so she must not be careless.

When Liang Chen heard it, he finally understood.

At most, he is good at studying theoretical knowledge, but his practical ability is actually far behind Lu Xiling.

Lu Xiling smiled, patted the young man on the shoulder, and encouraged: "I am several years older than you, and I have eaten more salt and traveled more than you. Don't worry, when you reach my age, you will definitely beat me by more than a star and a half. "

"Sister Ah Ling is only three years older than me, why do you make yourself look like you are seventy or eighty years old?"

Lu Xiling smiled without saying a word, and then patted the young man deeply.

If the previous and present lives are counted, she will be in her late seventies and eighties.

However, in the eyes of those around him, he was only twenty years old?With the blessing of beauty, Lu Xiling thought that some people would believe that she was a [-]-year-old girl.

For example, whenever she came to eat, she would scan her eyes no less than a hundred times for the scholars.

"The proprietress seems to have improved a lot in her cooking skills. This dish is moderately sweet and sour, and the shrimp is plump. It makes people unable to stop once they eat it."

Langweixian, a new set meal at Yueling Restaurant.

It's not a snack, but a family portrait of river seafood.

Isn't it the beginning of summer? How do you say that?

——Summer is incomplete without crayfish.

Yueling Restaurant, as a leader in the introduction of seasonal dishes, how could it be possible to miss this wave of lobster fever?

Therefore, relying on the tastes of the public in the previous life, Lu Xiling began to promote two flavors of crayfish - garlic and oil braised.

In fact, she wants to introduce the spicy flavor, what a classic!
It's a pity that the capital city is not like the middle of Sichuan. The pepper itself is not only not hot enough, but also a little weird, with no aroma other than spicy.

Lu Xiling didn't like to make do with it, and she wasn't willing to buy dried chili and chili noodles from the shelves, so she had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, garlic and oil stew are not inferior, one is full of flavor, and the other restores the freshness. Since its launch, it has been well received by many diners.

Especially garlic flavor.

At first, Lu Xiling thought that diners in ancient times would not dare to try this taste. After all, it would be embarrassing to write poems and Fu after eating a mouthful of garlic.

Unexpectedly, everyone's integrity was retreating in front of the delicious food, and all the elegant images were lost.

What's more, even the soup is not spared, and I ordered the cooked Wucai Suobing and mixed it in, so that everyone in the room was greedy!

Lu Xiling smiled mischievously: It seems that from ancient times to the present, only love and food come from instinct.

There is no need for her to teach in person, everyone just knows how to eat.

"The clams are fresh and the snails are strong. It's really addictive."

Scholars are handsome in appearance and decent in conversation, but scribes are too burdened, so far they refuse to grill crayfish.

Lu Xiling looked at those green fingers, which were whiter and tenderer than her own, and the little flame of jealousy was ignited.

Lu Xiling restrained the urge to go up and scratch, and asked kindly: "Does your lord need gloves?"

The Qing Leng scholar seemed very satisfied with her service, said "no need", and then watched Lu Xiling leave the table.

This piercing gaze followed her all the way to the high stool beside the counter.

Lu Xiling pretended not to see it, and devoted herself to weaving a long life thread at the door, asking Aunt Li how to thread it for a while, and then researching and weaving new patterns by herself.

From time to time, a few little boys with long hair came to play with weaving flower baskets at the door, and Lu Xiling gave them a few to play with when she was happy.

She also finds it very interesting to hear the children say a few auspicious words brilliantly about the gadgets that don't cost money.

After noon, people, young and old, who watched the dragon boat race all morning by the Luoshui River flocked to the food street.

The business of Yueling Restaurant has become busy.

Glancing at the man sitting by the window, Lu Xiling felt helpless: This man is really a tactful person, it took an hour to eat half of a pot of crayfish.

"I don't think he wants to eat crayfish, but he wants to eat you." Bean Sprout whispered.

Lu Xiling was shocked.

Where did this kid learn all this nonsense.

But Bean Sprout himself couldn't realize it, and still said, "Am I wrong? That's the way those men on the grassland look at my grandma."

"..."

Lu Xiling didn't want the children to learn how to be bad, so she pushed them to the back kitchen to pass on the dishes.

But this time, the child's eyes were really sharp.

When the guests around were about to leave, the man who was always smiling greeted Lu Xiling over again.

He wanted to eat her, and he wanted to eat her openly.

"I don't know how old the young lady is?"

Regardless of ancient or modern times, it is impolite to ask a woman's age.But there are special circumstances, such as matchmaking.

Lu Xiling looked into the man's eyes in a daze.

This person can't be a matchmaker for himself.

Seeing that Lu Xiling didn't answer, the man shyly withdrew his arm that was placed on the dining table.

Wiping the sweat lightly, the sleeve robe under the table also squirmed.

Lu Xiling knew this person's temperament at a glance.

But with a calm face, he guessed in his heart that the line of defense had collapsed long ago.

Lu Xiling felt that with his invaluable courage, she shouldn't let people down.

But the last blow should be given.

Lu Xiling was frank and did not forget to blackmail herself: "The little girl will be [-] years old at the autumnal equinox this year, and she is old—"

The man raised his eyes slightly.

This time, not only his hands trembled, but even his eyelashes trembled.

He had to force his composure: "My daughter is all about business, so naturally she can't be compared with the women in the compound. Even if she gets married later, it doesn't matter."

Thank you for asking yourself, Ling Yuhan, for your monthly ticket!
The second and third updates will come later!
