Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

After taking the lead in playing a few shots and having fun, Zhang Yan handed over the rest of the firecrackers to the interested servants, letting them go out to have fun by themselves.

Now in the mansion, it's quite interesting to hear them making noise outside the mansion.

……

"Master, the pasta you ordered is ready, please turn around carefully so as not to burn it."

……

Just as he was distracted, the voice of an old lady came from behind Zhang Yan.

That is the master chef in the kitchen of the Marquis Mansion, and he is also an old man who has been following Zhang Yan since Luoyang.

According to his cheap father, this mother-in-law came out of Guanglu Temple in the palace at the beginning. Although she doesn't look very good, she has a good craft and is good at accepting new things, so Zhang Rang likes it very much.

Later, Zhang Rang found an opportunity to fish her out of the palace, and she has been serving as Zhang Rang's home cook.

Later, Zhang Yan was born and served as the prefect of Lujiang thousands of miles away. In order to prevent his good son from missing "hometown food" in Lujiang, Zhang Rang assigned the old woman to Zhang Yan. He took all the way from Luoyang to Lujiang Wancheng.

……

"Ah, pasta?"

"Did I...have you ordered me to add some pasta tonight?"

Zhang Yan was in a daze for a moment.

For Chinese New Year, it seems that there is no custom of eating noodles, right?

……

But regardless of Zhang Yan's expression, behind him, the old lady pulled out two oval pottery plates with both arms, and placed them directly on the big table in front of Zhang Yan.

On the plate, white and smooth "Yuanbao" just lay there with a little soup, and there was still a trace of heat emitting from it.

……

This...probably counts as a noodle...

……

……

PS: Chapter 4~

I saw that someone guessed it, @真·鹏鹏技术 added more

It was Vientiane Lonely, the author saved [-] draws, and asked the author, a pretty girl next door who was very lucky, to draw on his behalf, and smoked five elder brothers in one go, but Lin Yuxia disappeared.

Later, I changed my own number to make up ten companies, and Lin Yuxia came out.

I really doubt that the Ark has its own gender detection system.

……

In addition, I believe you can also see that there are basically no major events in this volume, that is, to supplement the world view and some chores during the New Year, so it will be very, very short.

It's just like the title of the volume says.Spring Thoughts on Yuanri~ The Spring Festival is over, so this volume should naturally end.

I will add another one later, and I will finish this volume every day today.

Chapter 14 Ending Let's...

Looking at the white dish, Zhang Yan suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"It turned out to be this..."

"Grandma, I didn't expect you to mention something a few months ago, and you still remember..."

"It really bothered you..."

……

That's right, what appeared in front of Zhang Yan as "noodles" were crystal clear and white dumplings.

The dumpling looks to be half the size of a girl's palm, round and round, but it looks very cute——

Obviously, in order to get this dish on the table, the old woman should have been practicing for a long time in private.

……

"Come on, try them all!"

"That's good stuff!"

……

After greeting Qiao Ying and the others, Zhang Yan picked up a dumpling, but he didn't rush to speak, but just looked at it like this.

Before he knew it, he felt a little dazed...

……

Dumplings can be traced back to the famous doctor "Zhang Zhongjing" in the history of China, who was a famous doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is rumored that in order to treat patients with frostbitten ears due to the winter temperature, Zhang Zhongjing mixed a large amount of hot medicine with mutton scraps and wrapped them in the shape of ears, boiled them in water, and gave them to the patients.

This is also the origin of the original name of dumplings "Jiaoer".

Later, because this kind of behavior of mixing ingredients together was very convenient, jiaoer gradually became popular in Changsha County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and finally evolved into the most primitive form of dumplings in the Three Kingdoms period - completely filling the stomach, "Moon ravioli" with no medicinal value.

Judging from the time now, Mr. Zhang Zhongjing probably invented the "Jiao Er" a long time ago, but it has not been popularized among the people.

It was only a few months ago that I sent a sentence out of feeling, which changed the course of history again, and made the meaning of dumplings as food appear before the meaning of medicine for the first time.

……

"Ying'er, how's it going, is it delicious?"

After taking a bite of the dumpling lightly, a strong umami taste immediately filled Zhang Yan's nostrils.

If nothing else, the main ingredients of the filling should be mutton, shallots, and a little bit of dried fish for flavor.

As we all know, the two characters of fish and sheep, together, are the characters of fresh.A lot of fresh and tender lamb and dried fish were used, and the taste of the dumplings even rushed straight to Zhang Yanbaihui, making him a little dazed.

That Beijing onion... No, the taste that should be called Ji onion now doesn't counteract the mutton at all, but it blends together very well...

Wait, and...is this a mushroom?

……

With just this one bite, Zhang Yan can be sure that the old lady in the kitchen has really worked hard. I don't know how many times she has experimented before she can discover such a genuine delicacy from a sentence he accidentally said.

At least, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, under the repeated impact of a large pile of steamed meat, boiled meat, roasted meat and barbecued meat, this kind of thing was extremely delicious.

"Mmm... delicious!"

Sure enough, in Zhang Yan's eyes, Qiao Ying's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

Perhaps because of being scalded by the juice, a trace of pain flashed across her little face, but she was unwilling to spit out the food in her mouth no matter what.

It took a long time before the girl swallowed the food with a bitter face.

But when she looked at the dumplings on the plate, she no longer showed a trace of pain, but was full of curiosity and desire.

"Husband, is this also something you tinkered with?"

“Lamb cooked in wheat flour...really delicious!”

"I love so much!"

……

As for Qiao Jin who has been by Qiao Ying's side...

This silly girl is not afraid of being hot.

In Zhang Yan's dazed effort, she had already eaten two dumplings, and was trying to charge towards the third dumpling.

If Ye'er hadn't been sharp-eyed and quietly added a few dumplings to Zhang Yan's bowl as the bottom... Maybe all the delicious food on this table would have been sent to Qiao Jin's mouth alone.

……

"Okay, okay, eat slowly, don't burn it."

The gaze that looked at everyone was full of tenderness. Although Zhang Yan himself didn't eat a few mouthfuls, but seeing that everyone in his family had a good evaluation of this food, his mood was obviously going uphill.

"I'll find an opportunity next year and have someone buy a batch of sauce from Guanzhong."

"This dumpling is delicious when eaten directly, but it has a special flavor when it is dipped in that sauce!"

……

Afterwards, Zhang Yan thought for a while, and simply called someone back to the old lady who brought the food earlier.

……

"Grandma, do we still have these dumplings in stock in the kitchen of our house?"

"If not, is it laborious to make it temporarily?"

……

"My lord, there's still a lot in the kitchen, do you think it's not enough?"

"Then I'll bring you some more."

The old lady bowed politely and asked Zhang Yan with a smile.

"Even if you think it's delicious, if you want to eat it often in the future, there's no trouble."

"We have mutton and spring onions in Lujiang, and there are a lot of dried fish. It doesn't take much effort, and the raw materials are not expensive."

"The only thing that is troublesome is wild mushrooms, which can only be bought from woodcutters in the mountains during the rainy season."

"But if you want to eat it often, let's buy some sun-dried mushrooms in advance in the future, soak them in water and chop them up. The taste is not bad at all, and the fragrance is even stronger!"

……

"Ah That's good."

Nodding his head slightly, Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to ask the old lady to bring some more dumplings, but instead focused on a direction that the other party hadn't thought of at all.

……
