Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 340 In a daze
Ning Wan returned to Qiu Shuang Zhai, and sent everyone down to lie on the bed in a daze.

For a moment, he suspected that Ding Baihu had spread the story of his beating; for a moment, he cursed those who spread rumors as hateful; What Mrs. Wei said was not bad.If Tie Shi took two concubines, he would never call himself a tigress again, and there were more boys in the Lu family, who would always help Tie Shi in martial arts training with him in the future.Isn't the common saying that brothers in battle, father and son in battle?
It's just that she just doesn't want to!

Thinking about Tie Shi being in the same bed with other women and having children in the future, she felt that she couldn't bear it at all, and at that time, she might beat that woman into a rotten sheep's head with her own hands like the rumors - it's not possible , yes for sure!When Ning Wan imagined that there would be such a person, she had already clenched her fist tightly, wishing to punch him away!
So, she really would rather be called a tigress than take a concubine for Tieshi for the sake of fame.

But what about Iron Stone's reputation?
Ning Wan thought for a long time.

When Tie Shi came back, he saw that his daughter-in-law did not greet her with a smile as usual, but was lying motionless. He couldn't help but worriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you lying here? Is it because you are not feeling well? I'll send someone to ask for an imperial doctor." have a look."

Ning Wan raised her hand to hold him, and said listlessly: "I'm fine, I just want to find some big occasion, let you beat me up in front of everyone, and let everyone see that you are not afraid of your wife at all."

Tie Shi knew what was going on, and said with a smile: "You don't care about those people! Besides, I don't want to beat my wife. If I have the strength, it's better to see who spreads rumors and beats him up."

"You don't have to use too much force, just look angry." Ning Wan thought of Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Fu in Hutai County, "Or so, I'll try to leave a bruise on my face , It happened to be very conspicuous. Then I went out with bruises, if someone asked me, I would say you hit me."

Tie Shi gently caressed his daughter-in-law's pretty face, and gave a soft "hiss", as if he had been hit there, and suddenly said, "I've only used the medicine for a few days, and the bruise on your face is still there." The spots have faded a lot!"

"really?"

"Of course," Tie Shi picked up his daughter-in-law, put it in front of the mirror, pointed at the person inside and said with a smile, "Whoever wants to beat such a beautiful daughter-in-law must be a fool!"

Ning Wan saw that the originally faint freckles were even more inconspicuous, and she couldn't see them if she didn't look hard enough, so she couldn't help praising, "The imperial doctors in the capital are really capable!" Then she felt that adding a bruise to this beautiful face , I can't do it myself.Thinking about Tie Shi's intentions for him, he felt even more guilty, twisted his body around Tie Shi's waist, and buried his head in his chest, "What should I do?"

"What should we do? We'll just go on as before."

"But Yan Yushi impeached you all day long!"

"Let him impeach."

"But what about your reputation?"

Lu Tieshi thought for a while, "Now that everyone says I'm afraid of my wife, is it better than they say I'm a cunning by nature, showing you that I'm a junior with a wicked heart? I don't believe that the emperor can spare me because I'm afraid of my wife." official position."

"What a sophistry!" Ke Ningwan said again: "But it seems to make a lot of sense."

"Of course it makes sense. Recently, Yan Yushi has been concentrating on trivial matters all day long. He has repeatedly told me that I am not strict in running the family. He asked me to take home the concubine from the Guanyin Nunnery. I have already done away with the great righteousness that I have been talking about every day. He is a fool, but there are many people who understand. Someone has already gone to Guanyin Temple to inquire about it, so they all know that he is wronging me." Tie Shi said: "You said I was Shouldn't I thank my good wife?"

The reasoning was not bad, so Ning Wan smiled, "In this way, I am still a hero." Then she immediately regained her energy, and immediately cooked a few side dishes.

The two warmed a pot of wine and drank each other, celebrating each other, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a tigress. Although the reputation is not good, the benefits are your own!"

"Fearing a daughter-in-law has many benefits. Many people in the court were very afraid of Jin Yiwei before. When they met me, they greeted me politely and then hurriedly avoided. But yesterday, the right governor of the five army governor's mansion took the initiative to come over and smile. Gossiped with me for a long time, and even said that he would invite me to have a drink when he was free." Tie Shi whispered in Ning Wan's ear, "I heard that he is also afraid of his wife!"

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Ning Wan laughed.

I was happy for a while, and I drank a few more glasses of wine, Tie Shi unknowingly stuck to his wife, "Good wife, I am willing to be afraid of you."

Ning Wan let him slip into her arms, but fed him a bowl of soup, "Try it, gold inlaid white jade plate, red beak and green parrot."

Tie Shi drank it in his wife's hand, but said vaguely: "Isn't it just a soup stewed with fried tofu cubes, with some spinach in it? Why did you come up with such a grand name?"

"This is what Gao Zu used to eat at Weishi's family. Later he became the emperor, so it was called on the imperial food list in the palace."

"It turned out to be made after imitating imperial cuisine." The daughter-in-law often went to the palace and learned many new dishes when she came back.Tie Shi was still drunk after drinking the delicious soup, and praised: "Look how capable my wife is!"

Tie Shi praised his daughter-in-law at home, and it was the same outside. The words flew out like wings.

When Ning Wan entered the palace again, the empress heard it too, and laughed and teased her, "I heard that Mrs. Lu is not only talented in both civil and military affairs, but also cooks well. Commander Lu is full of praise!"

It was widely rumored that when she was a tigress, the empress announced herself to enter the palace. In fact, she was supporting her. Ning Wan was clear-eyed and appreciated it very much. She smiled and said: "The concubine can indeed cook a few small dishes in Liaodong. Why don't you invite the empress? Madam, try it."

Just as he was talking, Princess Dongping came in with a smile and feast, "When I woke up this morning, I knew something good was going on in Kunning Palace by pinching my fingers, so I hurriedly changed my clothes and came here. !"

The empress said: "It seems that I will hide something delicious from you!"

"When I was young, I liked Fengya, but now that I think about it, the delicious food is the most affordable, and I can really eat it in my stomach!" Princess Dongping asked after feeling emotional: "Madam Lu, what side dishes do you want? Can you send someone outside to buy it?"

Ning Wan is quite familiar with the situation in the palace now, the empress has her share every day, pigs, sheep, fish, vegetables, rice, etc. are all sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but if you go outside to buy them, you will have to pay for them. It's troublesome, so he smiled and said: "All I can cook is home-cooked meals. There are enough things in the palace." He took off the Xiapei and rolled up his sleeves to cook.

Both Empress Empress and Princess Dongping said in shock: "Just tell them what you want to do, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Mrs. Wei cooks like this, she doesn't even enter the kitchen, she just orders the cook in the room.I think this is how a rich family talks about cooking skills. Some things in the food list of the Luo family's "Xian Yuan Xiao Ji" are delicious, but some are not edible at all.Ning Wan smiled and said, "I come from a small family, so I'm more used to cooking by myself." Only by watching, smelling, and feeling with my own eyes, can I better grasp the taste of the dishes.

There is a small kitchen in the Kunning Palace, and because of the extremely high status of the empress, all kinds of things are also available.

Accompanied by Shuangxi, Ning Wan went in and prepared everything in a while, then she fried the pork ribs cut into sections with oil until the surface changed color, put two spoonfuls of soy sauce to cook until fragrant, and added Yundou pieces , pumpkin cubes, shelled chestnuts, carefully added to the soup.The amount of this soup is the key, because she wants to put a piece of dough cake on top, and it will be ready when the soup is just stewed and dried, and the cake will be dry and dry after adding the taste.

After covering the pot and simmering it over a low heat, Ning Wan mixed a few side dishes, and listened carefully to the sound in the pot. When she felt that the heat was on, she took out the pot, but instead of opening the dishes, she put them in It was delivered to the table in a clean copper basin.

The Empress Empress and Princess Dongping looked at each other when they saw that the pot was on the table, "Madam Lu is really bold!"

Ning Wan was about to make something special, so she lifted the lid of the pot and said, "There are rice and vegetables in it, so it is commonly known as one pot. It is the favorite home-cooked dish of the Liaodong farmers." Then he put a piece of cake and various dishes for each of Empress Empress and Princess Dongping, and said with a smile, "Please eat, Empress and Concubine."

Empress Empress and Princess Dongping still had some doubts about going down with the first chopsticks. The dishes served in front of them on weekdays were all extremely delicate, but now the cakes are big and thick, because the dishes were covered with some vegetable juices, and they are rather delicate. I didn’t cut it, I just tore off a piece with chopsticks, and the edges were not neat; the pork ribs were chopped into pieces more than an inch long, the kidney beans were only broken in the middle, the pumpkin pieces were as big as eggs, and the whole chestnuts were already the smallest. , completely beyond their imagination.

However, from the first bite, they couldn't stop, "It's so delicious!"

The farm food looks very ordinary, but the taste is rich and attractive. The Empress and Princess Dongping basically don't eat meat, but now each of them ate two or three pieces of ribs and ate cakes with vegetables.Ning Wan was afraid that they would be full, so she smiled and said, "Let's have some side dishes."

Mixed fungus, mixed with shredded cabbage, and fried small whitebait each have their own flavors, but no one eats garlic and eggplant.Ning Wan also hesitated before making it. The palace always uses onion, ginger and garlic to remove the original spicy taste. It should be afraid of leaving the taste after eating, but the eggplant is only delicious if it is added with garlic, so she still made it. At that time, he advised, "Chew the tea leaves after eating raw garlic and you won't be able to smell it."

Princess Dongping took a piece, "Actually, we don't have to worry about it long ago, but we have long been used to not using these things that can leave a smell. Now that I think about it, Mrs. Lu can eat whatever she wants at home, and she is much more comfortable than us."

"That's not it, so what can I do if I eat something that has some flavor! Ben Gong will also try it." The empress laughed after taking a bite, "Adding garlic and parsley completely changes the taste of the eggplant!"

Shuangxi saw that the Empress was happy to use it, so she hurriedly said jokingly: "Madam Lu's cooking skills are so exquisite, why don't you let the chef from the imperial dining room go to Lu's house to apprentice, and it will be convenient for the empress to eat Liaodong cuisine again."

Ning Wan just laughed, "The chef in the imperial dining room will take a look at my trivial skills. How can I use apprenticeship? Today, the Empress used it very well, but I just ate it fresh, and then I forgot about it."

"Although it is a novelty today, I think this kind of farm food is probably very nourishing, and I really want to eat it from time to time in the future."

Because of this meal, the empress rewarded Ning Wan with a jade ornament with a magpie on a branch. It was recorded in the palace, and the base was as high as half a person. It was very ostentatious on the way back from the palace.

The saying that Mrs. Lu is a tigress immediately disappeared among the wives. If Mrs. Lu is not virtuous enough, how can the empress give her things with great fanfare?Who among the officials and wives in the capital doesn't know how to follow the wind in the palace?Therefore, it doesn't matter what happened to Madam Lu, the Empress can't be wrong.

And there is another characteristic of rumors, that is, after a few days, they fade away, and when newer things come out, everyone completely forgets the old things.At this time, a sensational incident happened in the capital. A candidate was disqualified from being a boudoir, lost his fame, and returned to his hometown.

The imperial examination, which is used to select talents for the imperial court, has always attracted the attention of the people, especially the spring boudoir held every three years.Now that the exam has not yet started, the scandal broke out, and the streets and alleys are full of discussions.

Ning Wan only listened to a few sentences, and knew that the candidate was Yang Yi, so she felt a "sudden" in her heart, and after thinking about it, she asked the maid to go to the front office to ask if Ding Baihu was there, and if she was, please come and talk .
