Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 123 So This Guy Is Actually a Foodie!
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, and Shen Congjia has been raised at home for almost a month and a half, and he is idle and boring all day long.Because Shen Congjia has been recuperating in the Begonia Courtyard, Aunt Wang and Aunt Ding did not dare to provoke Gu Qinglian rashly, and they usually just come here to say hello, showing care and greetings in a false way.Gu Qinglian can't afford to argue with them, everyone lives in peace.Mrs. Shen also came to visit from time to time, seeing that Gu Qinglian was serving her wholeheartedly, so she didn't blame her too much.Therefore, Gu Qinglian lived quite peacefully for the past one and a half months, except that she was a little tired from serving Shen Congjia every day, but overall it was very comfortable.

On this day, the weather was very clear. After serving Shen Congjia for a nap, Gu Qinglian was lying on the imperial concubine's couch. She wanted to read a book, but when she heard the chirping of birds from outside the window, she got up and poked her head out of the window. I went there and saw that the flowers in the yard were all blooming, and the spring was strong.So she got excited, walked out of the house, and came to the yard. There were not many flowers and trees planted in the Begonia yard. Although all the flowers bloomed, they only bloomed sporadically. Gu Qinglian decided to go for a stroll in the garden.

She walked slowly while admiring the scenery in the mansion.Unknowingly came to the garden.

As soon as you walk into the yard, it's like walking into a fairyland. There is a burst of fragrance, which is refreshing. The first thing you see is a world of flowers and a sea of ​​grass.The flowers are vying for beauty, as if they are in a beauty pageant!Some are just about to bloom, some are half in bloom, and some are fully in bloom.The flowers are set off by the grass, which is more beautiful and moving, making people linger and forget to return.

Gu Qinglian was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her.On a winter jasmine, she found a little black-spotted butterfly sitting there. It was so beautiful!Gu Qinglian tiptoed forward and clasped her hands, who knew that the butterfly was so sensitive that it had already flown away. Gu Qinglian thought she had caught it, but when she opened her hand, she saw that there was nothing there.

She walked forward again and came to a peach grove.It was March at this time, and the peach blossoms in the garden were in full bloom, with pink, red, white and various petals falling down with the wind, as if it was raining flowers.There are not only peach blossoms, but also a lot of wild flowers and wild fruits under the peach trees, scattered in the dense grass. She loves this scene very much!I broke off a few peach branches with peach blossoms and sat under the peach tree to weave them.After a while, a beautiful wreath was made. She put the wreath on her head, closed her eyes, and smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms in the air, and the spring breeze blew gently, warming the air. , Gently, brushing her face, the scattered sea on her forehead fluttered gently with the wind, she took a deep breath, ah, spring is so beautiful!
She slowly opened her eyes, looking forward, the pear blossoms were as white as snow.The winter jasmine is yellow like gold, and there is a beautiful small pond not far away. Willow trees are neatly arranged around the pond. When the wind blows, the wicker will swing with the wind, like a long-haired girl dancing.

Gu Qinglian got up and came to the small pond, the spring breeze was blowing gently, the pond was like a lady swaying a newly put on gauze, showing a bit of complacency, when the wind stopped, the pond was as green as a Sparkling emerald.

The water in the spring pond is so clear that you can see the little fish and shrimp swimming happily in the water; the water in the spring pond is so quiet, as quiet as a mirror reflecting the mountains in the water; the water in the spring pond is so green , as green as if dyed with the surrounding green grass; the water in the spring pond is really vibrant!

There are small goldfish, carp and crucian carp in the pond.Groups of fish sometimes swim to the surface of the water, sometimes form a circle, and sometimes form a rope. Gu Qinglian sits quietly on the stone by the pond, watching the fish chasing and playing in the pond.A stone fell into the water, splashing water all over her face.Who is so annoying!She looked back, and Shen Congjia was looking at her with a smile.

"What are you thinking about, so preoccupied?" Shen Congjia came over and sat on the stone opposite her and asked.

"Why are you here?"

It turned out that Shen Congjia didn't see Gu Qinglian after waking up, and no one knew where she went after asking the maids in the room.He was also bored for a while, and wanted to go to the garden to relax, but when he came to the garden, he saw Gu Qinglian sitting by the pond in a daze, so he threw a stone into the pond.

"You haven't answered me yet, what are you thinking?" Shen Congjia continued to ask.

"I didn't think about anything, I was looking at the fish." Gu Qinglian pointed at the fish swimming in the pond.

Gu Qinglian had an idea and asked, "Do you have a fishing rod?"

"What do you want a fishing rod for?" Shen Congjia looked at Gu Qinglian suspiciously, wondering what was going on in her mind.

"If you want a fishing rod, you want to fish." Gu Qinglian looked at Shen Congjia and shook her head, with four words clearly written in her eyes: really stupid.

"What are you doing fishing? If you want to eat fish, just tell the kitchen to cook it." Shen Congjia was still puzzled.

As expected of the young master!Clothes to reach out rice to open mouth!
Gu Qinglian sighed softly, saying that the ancients were very sentimental, didn't they usually like to write poems and words to cultivate their sentiments, why is this guy so ignorant of sentimentality?

At this time Fangxin also came to the garden.Seeing her, Gu Qinglian was as happy as seeing a savior.She asked Fangxin if there was anything she could fish for.

"There's a fishing rod." Fangxin understood Gu Qinglian's intentions.

Gu Qinglian also told her to take a bamboo chair, a small bamboo table, a big silk umbrella, tea and some fruit snacks while taking the fishing rod.Fangxin took a few maids and came to the pond with all the things she wanted.Gu Qinglian ordered the maid to set up two bamboo chairs and a big silk umbrella, and put tea and fruit snacks on the small bamboo table.After everything was arranged properly, he sat down on the bamboo chair, picked up the fishing rod and caught fish in a decent manner.

Shen Congjia looked at her, thinking that this girl would enjoy herself quite a bit, and she made such a big show of fishing.Sit down while laughing.The little maid Tweet filled the two tea bowls with water, covered them, and retreated out of the umbrella.

Gu Qinglian also felt that the ostentation was a bit big, and she thought that she would be sorry if she didn't catch more than a dozen fish, but the more anxious she became, the more silent she became.

Seeing that the fish didn't take the bait, Shen Congjia smiled and said sarcastically, "Lian'er, it seems that the fish doesn't like the fish food you feed it."

Gu Qinglian heard his ridicule, and her face turned red all of a sudden.She was angry and didn't answer, pretending to be very thirsty, picked up the tea bowl on the small bamboo table and took a big sip.

"Young Mistress, be careful!" Cui'er quickly reminded, but it was too late.

A mouthful of tea was sprayed out.How did Gu Qinglian think that the water in the tea bowl was freshly poured boiling water, and after taking a big gulp, her hot tongue turned red, tears almost flowed out, and today's good mood was swept away by this sip of boiling water.Seeing her like this, Shen Congjia knew that what she said just now had provoked her, and felt a little guilty, so she quickly asked, "Are you okay, what's the matter with the burn?"

Gu Qinglian cast a glance at him, but did not answer.

Shen Congjia hurried over and squatted beside her, took the fishing rod in her hand, and taught her how to hang bait and see the float.Under the guidance of the famous teacher, two stupid fish were hooked immediately.Gu Qinglian also became interested, and immediately forgot about being scalded just now, and followed Shen Congjia's instruction to catch fish.

The fish in the small pond are used to being at ease, they are all stupid when they have never been caught before, but Gu Qinglian caught eight or nine fish in half an hour, she was very proud, when she saw the clear water in the pond There was a dark mass, and with a thought, he took a long pole net bag, and together with Fangxin, he circled it in that direction for a few times and then lifted it up. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be a fat turtle with big ears. He was pulling the net bag in a dazed state, and everyone was amused.

In this way, the few of them fished here leisurely all afternoon, and they couldn't even fit in the fish basket.Gu Qinglian also had enough fun, so she ordered the servant girl to keep a few fish and the fat turtle, and put the rest back into the pond.

Gu Qinglian went straight to the kitchen with a few maidservants, and she poured out the fish in the fish basket. Fang Xin took the carp and the soft-shelled turtle back to the Haitang yard to raise water, and the five crucian carps were used for cooking, and the two Make two bowls of crucian carp soup, and three sticks to make two servings of scallion-flavored crucian carp. Gu Qinglian instructed the chef mother to make it according to the cooking skills she learned before traveling. Put it on the dinner table, and send the other to Mrs. Shen.

In any case, today I caught fish without Mrs. Shen's permission. I'm not afraid that someone will make a big fuss about it and provoke Mrs. Shen. Why don't you give the food to Mrs. Shen to win her favor? Furthermore, it was to keep Madam Shen's mouth shut.Isn't there an old saying that says, eat people's mouths are short! .

Fangxin came to Ronghuayuan with the dishes, Mrs. Shen and Master Shen were having dinner.Mother Yao and a few maidservants waited on her.

Mrs. Shen saw Fangxin carrying the food, and asked, "What are you carrying?"

"Master, Madam, this is the fish that Young Mistress caught today. She ordered the kitchen to cook it, and let the servants bring it for Master and Madam to try."

"Present it." Master Shen ordered.

Fangxin put the dishes on the table, and Yao's mother came to open the bowl.It is a crucian carp soup and a dried crucian carp with scallions.

Master Shen picked up a piece of preserved fish, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and said with a smile: "These two fish dishes are my daughter-in-law's wish today. She caught the fish, and she ordered it to be done. It's really delicious. Not bad. Ma'am, come and try it too."

Gu Qinglian has been considered respectful recently, and she is quite sensible when she thinks of honoring us after being a fish.It's hard to beat her filial piety.Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen also took a piece of preserved fish and put it in her mouth, chewing carefully, um, the taste is really good, she nodded in satisfaction.Fangxin was on the side, looking at the master and wife who were satisfied with the food, and felt a burst of joy in her heart.

"Go back and serve." Master Shen said to Fangxin.

Fangxin took the order and went back to the Begonia Courtyard.Looking at this side again, Shen Congjia couldn't wait to take a sip of crucian carp soup.

The method of crucian carp soup is: when the oil pan is [-]% hot, sauté the ginger slices and pepper oil, then put the fish into the fish and quickly fry it on both sides. And tender tofu, put enough ginger ingredients and simmer slowly on the stove for two hours, until the soup is milky white, and when it is fragrant, add green onion, coriander and salt.Because the wild crucian carp was caught, the meat was tender and plump, so the stewing method made it more delicious and moist. Shen Congjia couldn't help but drink three small bowls.

There is also the preserved crucian carp with green onion, which is washed and cut off the head and tail, cut into two pieces, cut into five centimeters square pieces, marinated with salt ginger juice and wine for an hour, heated in an oil pan, put Add the fish pieces and deep-fry until the outside is fragrant and the inside is tender, then remove, leave the bottom oil in the pot, add green onion and ginger, stir-fry until fragrant, add various spices and water to make a soup, pour it on the golden fish and serve.This dish is rich in scallions, delicious in taste, very appetizing and refreshing.Shen Congjia ate delicious food, and unknowingly picked up two bowls of rice in a row. Regardless of his handsome and handsome image, he only looked at the maid behind him, and the servant was speechless.

The crucian carp soup and dried crucian carp with scallions were swept away by him in no time.Gu Qinglian was changing clothes in the inner room, when she came to the dining table, she only saw some crucian carp soup in the bowl.Looking at Shen Congjia's satisfied expression, he was stunned for a moment.

It turns out that this guy is a foodie!
How did I hear that you kept several live carp and a soft-shelled turtle in the yard? "

Shen Congjia immediately looked at Gu Qinglian with scorching eyes, Gu Qinglian could only giggle a few times, confessed reluctantly, and said with an excuse: "Carps and soft-shelled turtles need to be raised for two days, and they can only cook after vomiting up all the silt..."

"Then when will we be able to spit out all the sand?" Shen Congjia asked, as if he was suddenly interested in food.

Gu Qinglian secretly slandered, 'You starving ghost reincarnated', and could only accept her fate: "Probably, it seems, almost the day after tomorrow, hehe..."

I've worked hard all day and I haven't eaten yet. Can't you save some for me, a foodie! ?Gu Qinglian was secretly angry.

Shen Congjia happily said: "Then we've made a deal, we'll eat carp and soft-shelled turtle the day after tomorrow! You'd better do the cooking yourself."

Think beautiful!West Lake vinegar fish and soft-boiled soft-shelled turtle soup, but you have no chance, they will be on the table at noon tomorrow!Gu Qinglian secretly made up her mind, with an innocent smile on her face: "Okay."
