When Yu Jian followed the address sent by Lin Fengxu to find him, the master and the apprentice were snoring and drinking spicy soup.
Touching her nose in embarrassment, Yu Jian stepped forward and apologized to the two of them: "I'm really sorry, something delayed me."
Guan Shanyue grunted twice and ignored her, but Lin Fengxu pulled out the stool next to him and said, "Sit down, sit down, can I get you a share?"
Without waiting for her to refuse, he shouted loudly: "Boss, here is another steamed bun!"
Now Yu Jian was even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and said cowardly: "It's true that I forgot. Did I delay you?"
"No~ This kind of seminar is just an excuse for a bunch of old academics to get together. They only come here to eat and drink, nothing serious." Lin Fengxu was not surprised when he saw so many things and comforted her, but he also felt it was a pity, "But I can't come here.
I have met many famous people, and the teacher wants to take the opportunity to let you get to know them..."
Before he finished speaking, a bunch of tissues were thrown at his head. Guan Shanyue glared at him: "Talk too much!"
The old man was a tough talker. He was extremely worried one second, fearing that something would happen to her, so he was urging him to call the contact person, but he decisively abandoned him the next second. Hum——
Lin Fengxu turned around with the bowl in hand and leaned in the direction of Yu Jian. The fragrant and soft little girl was more reliable...
"Teacher Guan, thank you!" Before Lin Fengxu could continue chatting, Yu Jian suddenly stood up, walked to Guan Shanyue, and bowed deeply.
Humans are not like grass and trees. She saw Guan Shanyue's care for her and remembered it in her heart. The words "Teacher Guan" really came from her heart.
"Girl, make way - here comes the beef steamed buns!" The store owner took a tray and presented a blue and white porcelain bowl with clear soup and a few coriander leaves. It was really cute.
Yu Jian swallowed, thanked her again, and then carefully looked at the steamed buns in the bowl. Beef and mutton steamed buns were the earliest ritual delicacies of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and their earliest form was beef and mutton soup.
During the Sui Dynasty, "Xi Gong Mohu Yokan" appeared, which was a cooking method that mixed beef and mutton soup with pasta. However, during the Tang Dynasty, the eating habits of the Tang people changed again. Soup is soup and cake is cake. It seems that everyone
I prefer pure food, and since the palace chefs and shops are all good at making soup, it is not a rare delicacy.
Lin Fengxu had already drank a bowl of spicy soup, and stretched out his paws to the beef steamed buns in front of him. Seeing that Yu Jian couldn't look at it, he urged: "Eat quickly, the boss said, it tastes best when it's hot! I
This is also my first time to visit Xishi, and I have to say that there are so many good things about the historical city..."
"I just know how to eat! My brain is about to turn into a pig!" Guan Shanyue answered from the side.
"Hey~ Teacher - I said you can't bury people like this -"
Yu Jian listened to the disagreement between the master and the apprentice and started bickering again. She smiled so much that she narrowed her eyes, blew a breath of hot air, and took a sip of the soup. The soup was light but not too rich, with the aroma of butter, and then ate it.
After taking one bite of the steamed bun, I felt that the meaty soup was fragrant and fat but not greasy, and the aftertaste was endless.
Pour a little chili oil on it, take a hot bite, and feel all the chill in your body dissipate.
Lin Fengxu ate so much that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he tried his best to put paste in his mouth. He accidentally raised his eyes and saw Yu Jian's eyes, and felt that he did eat a bit roughly, so he relaxed his movements, but his speed did not change at all.
.
After finishing the bowl of mutton steamed buns, he burped loudly, looked curiously at the customers coming and going, and the non-stop boss. He poked his head into the back of the kitchen and whispered to Yu Jian: "Little boss, what's going on here?"
Can you make steamed buns?"
For a female food officer of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of eating was not a difficult task. Yu Jian put down her chopsticks and moved next to Lin Fengxu, detailing with him the secret of the beef steamed bun: "...this key thing
To cook meat, split the beef bones and soak them in water. Change the water every half an hour in summer and every hour in winter to fully soak the blood... Put the pot in cold water and skim off the blood after boiling.
, it has to be wiped clean, otherwise the meat will be very fishy."
"Yeah!" Lin Fengxu kept nodding, "Then what?"
"Spices should be put in a bag, washed first and then soaked, so as to bring out the fragrance. Do not sprinkle them randomly in the soup, as the color of the soup will be impure. After the beef bones have been simmered for two hours and the blood foam is gone, pour in the beef
Cut the oil into pieces as big as the cap of your little finger and put it in." Yu Jian pinched her knuckles and gestured to him, "Boil the oil, add the spice pack, then add the soaked beef, add more salt to enhance the flavor...
"
As they were talking, not only Lin Fengxu and Guan Shanyue, who were nearby, but also the nearby diners pricked up their ears. The boss walked by and shouted in a dumbfounded voice: "Oh, this is still a fellow traveler.
?Stop talking, if you keep talking, I won’t be able to open this steamed bun shop..."
That nervous look made the diners burst into laughter. Most of them were regular customers, and they would feel uncomfortable if they didn't come to eat steamed buns for a day. They were familiar with the boss, so they naturally knew that his words were mostly meant as a joke.
But Yu Jian didn't know. She quickly shut her mouth and apologized repeatedly to her boss. Every family has its own way of survival, and she overstepped it.
The boss waved his hand magnanimously: "It's okay, it's okay, you said it, which one of them doesn't know? It's just that when it comes to making steamed buns, the key lies in the ratio of spices. This is our family's secret recipe!" That's locked in the insurance.
In the cabinet, ready to be passed on to the next generation.
This made the diners laugh at him, "Your daughter will be three years old this year, right? How about we get married as babies and you can pass the secret recipe to your son-in-law!"
The smiling boss waved the list in his hand and said, "Fuck you, that's a beautiful idea!"
Rather, he has an open-minded temperament.
Before leaving, Yu Jian packed up several portions and took them back to the people in the hotel who were waiting for food. The boss also reminded him: "Don't take too long, otherwise the steamed buns won't taste good."
Yu Jian held the packing box and agreed with a smile. The hotel was not far away, just a ten-minute taxi ride away.
After all, the old man still didn't trust her, so he sent Lin Fengxu to send her away, while he walked to eat with a toothpick in his mouth.
"Senior brother, I'm really sorry..." After thinking about it, Yu Jian felt very sorry.
Lin Fengxu grinned and patted her shoulder: "Don't be burdened. The old man didn't tell you just now that the seminar has been postponed for another two days. If you get up early tomorrow, I will pick you up and go with you!"
Karma?
Yu Jian looked up in astonishment, saw him nodding sincerely, and asked again: "Didn't you say it would only be open for two days?"
"Originally, it was indeed two days. But yesterday, after a disagreement, a group of old scholars got into a quarrel, which ended in an unhappy relationship. When the organizer saw that things were not finished, and there was no conclusion, they postponed it as soon as they were summed up.
It's been two days..." Lin Fengxu felt frightened when he thought of the thrilling scene at yesterday's meeting. The group of people together were hundreds of years old, and they would do whatever they asked. Fortunately, he pulled Guan Shanyue and retreated to the corner.
Otherwise, it might even be a disaster for Chiyu.
"Then can I ask what the quarrel was about?"
Why?
Hey - he also wanted to know why! Lin Fengxu tilted his head and thought about it for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened and he hesitated in his words.
Yu Jian frowned and looked at him, what's going on?
After slapping his forehead, Lin Fengxu covered his eyes and gritted his teeth: "When I think about it...it seems to be for a chicken..."
