Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 34
After locking the cabinet, Wen Shu stooped and sneaked out of the room back to the place where the car was placed by the courtyard door, then looked up at Father Wen who was squatting on the roof tiles with his back to her, straightened up and called out He said, "Father, I'm back."

Hearing the sound, Wen Tai turned around and looked down, seeing her coming in with a cart, he asked with a smile, "Is everything sold out?"

Wen Shu immediately stepped over his shoulders, "No, there are still some left."

Wen Tai paused, then smiled and comforted, "It's okay, if there's leftovers, there are leftovers, and it's the same for us to keep them for ourselves."

"Yes, Ah Ning is already very capable." Sun Heping on the roof also smiled and comforted him.

Wen Shu nodded helplessly. After unloading the things on the car and moving them into the kitchen, he started to prepare lunch.

When entertaining guests, the dishes are very particular about the dishes. The dishes cannot be singular. Usually there are six dishes or eight dishes. After discussing with Wen Shu and his daughter, they finally decided to make eight dishes.

They have a good relationship with the Sun family, and although they usually help the Sun family a lot, last time Wen Shu was seriously ill, the Sun family also helped a lot, especially Mrs. Li, who insisted on guarding her all night when she was sick. This favor should be remembered .

Ordinary people do not pursue gorgeous and beautiful dishes when entertaining guests, as long as the portions are sufficient and the taste is good, so after some consideration, Wen Shu decided on a menu that she thought was suitable.

Half an hour later, the cold wind was still blowing, but it also wafted the aroma of Wen's kitchen to Changxuan.

The three people working on the roof were all attracted by the smell, and Wen Tai was better. After all, he often ate Wen Shu's dishes, so he was somewhat resistant.

But Wang Chao and Sun Heping on the side were lost in their work, and asked curiously, "My brother, what kind of delicious food does my eldest niece cook? This aroma, why does it smell like eel to me?"

Wen Tai laughed loudly: "It's not just eels. I saw someone selling them when I passed the West Market yesterday, so I bought two. It just so happened that Aning learned a fungus eel soup from school last month. I ate it once. It tastes good, you should try it later."

"Oh, that's a blessing!" Sun Heping said happily: "I heard that the dishes taught by the cooks in the school can only be eaten in restaurants, and today we are full of it."

The Dynasty on the side, after hearing this, all enviously said: "Blessed is Taizi, who gave birth to a caring girl who can cook tea and rice, unlike my family who only gave birth to three brats, and there is no turn for a girl. If anyone can follow I'll just change it."

Wen Tai laughed when he heard this: "That's what my brother said, if you really trade a girl for your kid, you may not be willing to part with it again."

"Hey, I'm wrong." Wang Chao yelled at him: "If you don't believe me, you can exchange your Aning for me. You can see if I can exchange it. How can this brat have a daughter? There are three at a time, if you say you are angry, it is because your sister-in-law is not up to date, and you can't give birth to a daughter."

Sun Heping was also joking around: "No, my family only has two boys, and I used to complain to your sister-in-law a lot. Fortunately, Dalang has married a wife now. From now on, I can still look forward to life. granddaughter."

What they said was not all compliments and jokes. In fact, the middle and lower class people in Tokyo City are looking forward to having daughters more than sons, because they can go out to work in the daughter's house in Tokyo City, especially those young people who have a plan. Ladies, sometimes even earn more than boys, become the pillars of the family.

For this reason, there was once a patriarchal atmosphere among the people in Tokyo City.

While the adults were chatting and laughing, Mrs. Li led the family to the door. At that time, Wen Shu was busy with shoveling in the kitchen, and no one greeted the guests.

Fortunately, the Sun family has a good relationship with the Wen family, and they don't have that many etiquettes. Xiao Qian looked around and saw no one, so he went straight into the kitchen.

"It smells so good, what kind of delicious dishes did my sister cook, do you need my help?"

"No, no, everything is ready, the kitchen is full of smoke, sister-in-law should hurry up and sit down."

Xiaoqian looked around the kitchen and saw that there was really nothing to help, so he said, "Why don't I stay and help you light the fire."

Wen Shu turned to look at her, and shook her head again and again: "No, no, my sister-in-law is dressed so brightly today, don't get dirty with ashes, the fire is fine, I can take care of it myself."

Seeing what she said, Xiaoqian looked at the new red jacket and skirt she was wearing, nodded and said: "OK, then I'll go out first, if my sister has something to do, just say hello."

"Okay, sister-in-law, let's go." Wen Shu replied, while putting the fried yellow rolls (soybean sprouts) in the pot on a plate.

Two quarters of an hour later, the steaming six dishes, one soup and one cold appetizer were brought to the table by Wen Shu and Xiaoqian. In addition, there was a pot of Sanhuang wine from Lijijiaodian.

The six hot dishes are, red crispy pork, whitebait egg custard, mandarin duck stewed belly, dairy lot, fragrant dried yellow rolls and stir-fried white cabbage.

The soup is fungus and eel soup. In addition, there is a cold appetizer of braised lamb's feet, and two plates of two kinds of sugar silk thread and honey sesame crisps bought by Nan Kee Bakery.

There are not so many etiquettes in common people's homes, and there is no rule that women cannot sit at the table, so the Sun family, Wen Shu's father and daughter, and uncle Wang Chao, who came to help with the work, sat around the table of the Eight Immortals.

It's just that men and women sit on both sides, men sit next to men, and women sit next to women.

Looking at the red, white, white and colorful dishes on the table, everyone's eyes shone brightly.

Wen Shu poured the warmed rice wine to the Sun family's father and son, her father and Uncle Wang, and then greeted Mrs. Li and Xiaoqian and said, "Auntie and sister-in-law, do you want some?"

Mrs. Li waved her hands again and again, coughing twice: "Where can I drink alcohol in my body, just ask your sister-in-law if she wants to eat?"

Xiaoqian lowered her head and smiled: "If my mother-in-law doesn't eat it, neither will I."

Wen Shu said: "Well, I still have two cans of fragrant pear paste made in autumn in my room. Since my aunt can't eat wine, I will take this fragrant pear paste and make fragrant pear thirsty water. My mother and I will drink it. It also has the effect of nourishing the liver and lungs, and it is also good for my uncle's cough and asthma."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li nodded again and again: "That's right. "

The seven-year-old Sun Erlang on the side also jumped up at this time, and shouted: "Sister Ah Ning, I want it, I want it, I want sweet pear water too."

Wen Shu nodded his little head with a smile, and replied, "Yes, how can we miss Erlang."

Everyone laughed and teased him a few more words.

After a while, Wen Shu brought over the prepared fragrant pear thirsty water, and poured a bowl for Mrs. Li, Xiaoqian, and Sun Erlang, and the banquet began.

It was cold and windy outside, but inside the house was lively and warm like spring.

As the banquet was halfway through, the whole room was filled with praises.

After Xiaoqian tasted the shredded eel soup, she couldn't help praising: "The shredded eel soup made by my sister really doesn't have any fishy smell, and it's very fresh. I also made this eel at home on weekdays, just for Many methods have been used to remove the fishy smell, and finally the fishy smell is gone, but the umami taste is also gone."

"No, what's the name of this dish? Signed by the dairy, ouch, this is the first time I have eaten this type of dish. It's delicious and smooth. It must have goat's milk in it." Mrs. Li ordered the table A plate of pickled dishes with whitish soup.

Wen Shu just laughed: "It is true that goat's milk is added. This dish is newly learned from the cook in the school. This is also the second time for me to make it."

Mrs. Li nodded and praised a few more words, but she was tactful and didn't ask for the specific method of cooking. She couldn't open her mouth about something that the writer spent thirty pennies on purpose to learn.
