The dog meat was fragrant when stewed and full of flavor when eaten, which completely conquered the old man's appetite.
When Yuen Long brought the wine, the old man asked Yuen Long to pour him a bowl. The wine had a rich aroma, and the wine he drank was naturally incomparable to outside wine. Just by smelling it, he knew it was a serious grain-based wine.
It is stronger than other wines and has been aged for a long time.
In fact, the best wines these days are fruit wines, and people nowadays are more willing to drink sweet and fragrant fruit wines.
However, grain-based wine is not uncommon. This is the favorite of Jiujiu martial artists, because the stronger the alcohol, the more it stimulates the liver and gallbladder. People who practice martial arts like a strong alcohol.
Therefore, grain and wine are very popular among the powerful people in Kansai, but if you go to Heluo, Jianghuai, Jiangnan and other places, good fruit wine is a symbol of status.
To put it another way, many big and famous families in the world who have been around for hundreds of years secretly despise the vulgarity of the Kansai clans. The characteristics of the Kansai clans can actually be seen in the detail of wine.
The old man took a sip, exhaled the smell of alcohol, and ate a few pieces of dog meat. He felt so comfortable that his pores were opened. This once again proved that most people these days have little resistance to meat. Let's make green vegetables and tofu.
No matter how good you are, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch their eye.
The old man picked up the bowl again and took a sip, then blinked his eyes and saw the three little ones eating and looking at him, so he groaned dissatisfiedly.
He reluctantly glanced at the wine jar, then muttered, "You are so damn cannibalistic, just pour a bowl and try it..."
Yuen Long grinned and jumped up, obviously he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
First he poured a bowl for Li Po, then himself, and finally Li Chun.
When it was Li Chun's turn, the young man curled his lips and said, "Little girl, just drink some."
Li Chun only poured a small half of the bowl. Li Chun was quite dissatisfied, but he was quite afraid of the old man. Seeing the old man looking at his son with rare satisfaction and nodding his head, Li Chun could only endure it.
Li Po tasted it and found that it had no taste, it was a little sweet, and even if it was strong, it wasn't very strong.
However, there was wine and meat, and the four of us enjoyed the meal heartily. A large bowl of dog meat was completely eaten, and the four of us had full stomachs, and there was still a feeling that there was still something to be desired.
Yuen Long was still complaining, "The dog looks quite big, why does it only have so much meat?"
The old man was obviously not good at drinking. After drinking two bowls, he was already tipsy. The meal was good enough, and the old man was in a good mood. He decided to go to the kitchen early tomorrow morning and tell those fools to put the pots and pans out.
The basins are all prepared here.
Well, you can also go to the wife of the inner house and bring someone over to build a good stove.
Moreover, this dog meat tastes really good. Damn it, there are indeed too many dogs in the county...
Thinking about it in my mind, I took my son back to the house to have a rest.
Li Po and Li Chun, after packing their things, leaned on the bed, holding out their bulging bellies, feeling that their lives were quite complete at this point.
After a night of silence, the stable became lively the next day.
The people in the kitchen got a lot of cooking utensils, and people came to the inner house. The old man's influence was indeed not low.
Like many things in the Sui Dynasty, what was pursued was speed. By the end of the day, a kitchen would be ready, and all the careless servants in the inner house would come up and rub Li Po's head when they left.
He patted him on the shoulder and ran away laughing. Who made him talk to these women the most and have the most fun.
Li Po lowered his head in shame and made a profound self-examination. How could he have forgotten that women are the same no matter what time they are?
That night, the four of them ate the food sent by the kitchen, but it was a bit hard to swallow. Even the old man's strong appetite gnawed a few bones. The next day, they went to the newly built kitchen several times. Apparently it was
I hate that the wet mud on the kitchen stove dries slowly...
Li Po led Yuen Long, and Li Chun took care of the horses as usual, but all three of them were a little listless.
Li Po himself did not expect that a meal of dog meat would have such an effect. It can only be said that people are not afraid of suffering, but they are afraid of living a good life.
After two days of waiting, the four young and old were a little irritated.
Two days later, the stable kitchen finally opened fire.
Li Po cooks, Yuen Long, Li Chun helps cook, and the old man comes around from time to time...
That night, there was a large pot of beef stew and corn rice made with soup. The four of us almost couldn't walk.
Li Po also had endless aftertaste after eating. After all, this was the first time he had eaten the beef stew he made when he came to this world. There was no shortage of condiments, but if he used them diligently, the food would taste as natural as before.
Very different.
The old man also gave a rare compliment, saying that Li Po's beef stew was no worse than that of the cooks in the homes of the wealthy families in Chang'an.
Of course, he still expressed his contempt for Li Po for not doing his job properly. He just picked up the bowl to eat and then put the bowl down to scold his mother.
Li Po didn't argue with him. He got up early the next day and cooked a steaming meal of noodles with beef soup. Of course, these days, noodles are called Leng Tao by northerners, or there are other names, but the most similar
The best is Lengtao noodles.
But it was obviously different from what Li Po made. Just pickled vegetables and pouring some vinegar sauce on it. The people who ate again were sweating profusely and dripping with pleasure.
He also completely completed the adjustment to the appetites of the old man and his son.
Since then, Li Po has completed the transformation from a groom to a groom and cook...
At the end of February, the weather here in Mayi began to gradually get warmer, and a spring rain was approaching.
On this day, someone came to the stable and took away the last two war horses, because Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, wanted to personally inspect the grain storage in the Mayi warehouse.
At the same time, this also symbolized that the war machine of the Sui Dynasty began to rotate slowly.
The empty stables made the four grooms completely idle.
Li Po discussed with the old man and wanted to give Li Chunye a serious identity.
For Li Po, there was no way to start this matter, but for the old man, it could only be said to be a matter of effort. Even for a girl, it was just a matter of opening her mouth.
The old man was very happy. After leaving the inner palace, he came back in half a day with a waist knife and a bronze medal. He threw them all to Li Chun and the matter was done.
But the old man still kept talking, saying what status does a woman want? In the future, if she marries a good husband, she will have everything.
In view of the old man's good performance, Li Po made a meal of mutton stuffed dumplings as a reward in the evening, and the old man was satisfied with the meal.
I even started to wonder if I could call my brother-in-law over someday to try Li Po’s craftsmanship.
Li Po's life here was getting better and better, but one day in early March, he saw an acquaintance again, which surprised him.
